I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 841 Personal experience!

Big Joe and Little Joe...

The original novel describes how an extra child caused a change in the fate of a family, focusing on how two sisters bore different destinies because of the "extra birth".

In fact, it is very suitable to be filmed as a multi-line narrative, or to disrupt the narrative timeline, making an originally simple story become confusing.

"Our script was changed to a suspenseful one, with a migrant girl from Beijing becoming a top female star..."

"Oh, revealing the darkness of the entertainment industry?"

"Correct!"

"Then come on, I hope it will be a big hit at the box office!"

The dark side of the entertainment industry is nothing more than sleeping with others...

You don’t dare to film that you are helping the capital to stand up and cut leeks together... It’s meaningless...

The irony of "New Journey" is enough!
Shen Liang decisively refused...

Back in the bedroom, Naza was reading comments. Seeing him, she asked casually, "Who are you talking to on the phone?"

"Zhao Liying!"

"Zhao Liying? Why did she look for you?"

"She wanted to invite me to guest star in her movie..." Shen Liang said as he took off his coat: "But I didn't agree!"

"Why don't you agree?"

"Why should I agree?"

“…But…” Naza was originally going to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he changed his words: “That’s right, you also don’t think highly of the so-called connections.”

Shen Liang waved his hand: "The entertainment industry is very realistic. When you are relatively weak, there are many bad people around you; but when you become strong, you are surrounded by harmonious smiling faces."

Naza nodded immediately: "I know, Huang Bo said so!"

"Huang Bobo said so, but he is not the only one who has had this experience..." Shen Liang picked up the water cup, took a sip of water, and then said, "I talked a lot with Mr. Sammo Hung while filming West of Anxi some time ago. He said that after leaving Golden Harvest, he made a lot of loss-making movies. At that time, many colleagues in the film industry no longer called him Big Brother, but called him by his nickname Sanmao..."

"Is it so miserable?"

"Yeah," Shen Liang nodded: "Vanity Fair is like this..."

"Oh…"

Naza didn't ask any more questions, but lowered his head and started doing his craft...

"…You don't want to chat?"

What responded to him was Naza's hard work...

Sometimes I really feel like I am just a tool!

……

Before the release of Mission: Impossible 7, many people predicted that it would change the current situation that no Hollywood movie has grossed over billion this year!

The reality is very embarrassing. The box office on the first day was 5029 million, and the final result was less than 3 million...

Not only did Mission: Impossible 7 flop, all Hollywood movies flopped in China this year!
"The Little Black Mermaid" made 2600 million, and was released and then buried, so I won't talk about that;

The first Black Panther movie grossed 2018 million yuan in 6.6, but the second movie this year dropped to 1 million yuan.
The first Ant-Man was released in 2015 and earned 6.7 million yuan. The second one earned 18 million yuan in 8.3, but only 2.7 million yuan this year.
"Transformers", this series has always been popular with Chinese audiences. Starting from the second film, China has been the second largest box office. By the fourth film, the domestic box office had directly reached 19 billion, the largest market in the world. In 2017, the fifth film also had 15 billion, surpassing North America and firmly sitting on the world's largest market!
This year's "Transformers: Rise of the Power Rangers" has a box office of nearly 6.5 million, and the North American box office is only 6.5 million, and it is No. again...

Does that have something to do with word of mouth?

Even Hollywood movies with good reputations don’t work in the Chinese market.

"Barbie" has a Douban score of 8.0, "Super Mario Bros. Movie" has a Douban score of 7.8, and "The Flash" has a Douban score of 7.9...

Including "Mission Impossible 7", Douban score 7.9 points!
It's useless, it just doesn't sell...

At most, the good quality ones dropped less, and the poor quality ones dropped more, but they are all dropping more or less. Moreover, Mission Impossible 7 is still promoting Tom Cruise's real jump from a plane...

These are the leftovers from Jackie Chan and a bunch of Hong Kong action stars’ play 30 years ago. How can they still be used as a promotional selling point now?

If you say Hollywood movies have become ugly...

Not quite!

Globally, only China, India and Japan have film markets that are almost entirely domestically produced.

If local popular culture cannot resist the invasion of Hollywood culture, it will quickly disappear.

This was the situation in Hong Kong in the 90s. Under the dominance of Hollywood blockbusters, Hong Kong films became obsolete within a few years.

Compare to the Korean market...

Hollywood movies have beaten Korean local films to a pulp.

Last year, only eight films in South Korea, which claims to be the world's fifth largest movie box office, made a profit, setting the worst record in many years.

So far this year, only one game, Crime City 3, has made a profit...

In a few years, there may be no pure Korean movies...

Oh, in fact, if "Oppenheimer" is renamed, the box office will definitely increase by 100 million - "Nuclear Explosion of Japan"...

By the way, let me tell you something. Mission: Impossible 7’s global box office fell short of expectations, except for two regions: South Korea, where the box office was as high as $3074 million;
Another one...Chinese Wanwan!
The Taiwan region, with a population of 2300 million, contributed $1400 million in box office revenue, almost on par with Australia and Germany!
Many netizens made harsh comments: You are watching Mission Impossible while others are watching My Father: The Legend of the Condor Heroes. The support rates are fundamentally different!

I was speechless!

……

"Brother Liang, Wu Jing said he wanted to make a monster movie and has discussed it with you and Guo Fan. Is that true?"

At the roadshow of "All or Nothing", an audience member asked Shen Liang about Wu Jing...

Shen Liang nodded: "I have said that we might make "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Primitive War Chronicle"... What's wrong?"

"Oh, he said he was going to study on the set of The Meg 2..."

"He did go there to study, otherwise, he wouldn't have taken on the role of a scientist..."

"Then...Wolf Warrior 3..."

"I haven't heard him talk about this. Let's talk about All or Nothing. What do you want to ask?"

"I heard that the director was threatened by an overseas anti-fraud group?"

Shen Ao nodded: "When we first started preparing, we were targeted...they even reported my and my family's ID numbers..."

"How did you do it?"

"Then I called the police...Honestly, after receiving these threats, I became more determined about the film."

Then Shen Ao talked in detail about the threats from foreign forces during the filming of "All or Nothing"...

After that, Shen Ao turned the topic to Shen Liang: "Brother Liang also has relevant experience..."

"Threatened?"

Shen Liang smiled and said, "It's normal for me to be threatened. Every day, there are a lot of disgusting pictures in my private messages on Weibo and Douyin... Later, I handed it over to the team to take care of it..."

Shen Ao: "Brother Liang, tell me about your experience of being scammed!"

"I wasn't the one who got scammed!" Shen Liang said quickly, "When I was in college, a roommate of mine got scammed... It was a low-end scam for hooking up with people in the same city..."

"Can this kind of scam fool people?"

"Sex is a double-edged sword. When you click on the link, a girl will greet you... and then guide you to complete tasks... to make fake orders..." After a pause, Shen Liang added: "It was really my roommate's experience, not mine!"
