Chapter 531 Another Evaluation (23)

Shen Teng's acting skills...

Actually, it's enough.

The show "Happy Comedians" pays homage to Charlie Chaplin's "Where Did the Thief Go?", and you can see that his acting skills are not bad!

It just needs some adjustments…

By the way, Shen Yan asked him to film "Duckweed," and he was quite happy—he gets so many event invitations that he doesn't even need to find an excuse to refuse...

As the year draws to a close, many TV stations and large companies are holding New Year's Eve events and have all sent invitations to Shen Teng.

In fact, after "Happy Comedians," he received a lot of invitations for commercial performances: companies and shopping malls wanted to invite Shen Teng to perform skits, but he didn't accept a single one. In his own words, "I just can't stand that. You don't have to pay me, but you have to watch my performance seriously. You can't just say you're going to draw a prize or eat some food, and then I'm on stage performing a skit for you. I think that's disrespectful."

It's pretty good, and it even has some edges...

In a few more years, it will lose all its sharp edges and lie flat...

As an aside, in the early days of Weibo, Shen Teng posted jokes and made fun of others, and even exchanged lewd pictures with Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu is Du Xiaoyu, Shen Teng's regular partner in his early sketches...

Now he dares to post pornographic pictures?
We filmed it again... and it turned out good here, so we approved it!
Shen Yan clapped his hands: "Alright, let's move on to another scene..."

Chen Xu walked over: "Brother Yan, you have to go!"

"Oh…"

Shen Yan remembered... he still had to attend the premiere of "Police Story 2013"...

He called over Yan Fei and Da Mo: "You two decide what to do next, I have to go to the premiere of 'Police Story 2013'..."

He asked Zhao Liying, "Xiao Zhao, go back and change into a dress, and come with me!"

"Is it Jackie Chan's 'Police Story 2013'?"

“Yes…” After thinking for a moment, he added, “Dilraba and Chen Yao should go too…”

"Huh? The two of us?"

"You've got nothing else to do here... attending the premiere is just a way to promote our movie!"

Shen Teng interjected, "Don't I need to go?"

"If you go, what will everyone be filming?"

……

Police Story 2013 was released yesterday, and its opening day box office reached 6645 million yuan, making it the top-grossing film of the day…

"Personal Tailor" grossed 3388 million, while "Northeast Love" earned 1462 million with 12.6% of the screenings.

"Northeast Lover" has been in theaters for 12 days and has grossed 5.02 million yuan...

It is currently ahead of "Personal Tailor" with 3.84 million.

They will most likely be overtaken.

It doesn't matter anymore, the cost was only 3600 million—Sun Honglei's salary was 400 million, and Shi Shi's salary was 100 million plus 8% of the box office revenue…

In addition, Shi Shi's personal studio also invested 10%.

Liu Shishi's starring role in "Northeast Love Brother" attracted product placement from over 10 brands, and subsequent promotional activities also involved resource exchanges with 15 other brands...

The influence of A-list celebrities is not limited to their paychecks!
Oh, Police Story 2013 is in Shanghai for promotional activities…

Shen Yan and the others came to show their support...

Police Story 2013 followed a traditional model—holding press conferences in several major cities across the country, then inviting media and journalists to write articles…

This is a typical one-way communication method of "one to many"! Nowadays, movies have long had roadshow arrangements, and later, roadshows plus preview screenings became the "standard configuration" for publicity and marketing.

Originally, roadshows were primarily held in first-tier cities where moviegoers congregate. However, as box office revenue in first-tier cities gradually reached saturation, third- and fourth-tier cities became the source of incremental revenue, leading to a shift in large-scale preview screenings and roadshows to these cities…

Let's do the math: box office revenue from first- and second-tier cities accounts for more than half of the total, and there are only 34 second-tier cities in the film industry. It would only take a month to visit them all.

It's almost the movie's promotional period...

So why not run?

"Riding the Waves" is preparing for a roadshow in 34 cities across the country!
……

After watching the movie, the creative team went on stage to express their gratitude.

The main cast of "Police Story 2013" includes Jackie Chan, Jing Tian, ​​and Liu Ye, and the director is Ding Sheng!
Jackie Chan spoke first: "Compared with my previous films, this one has a lot more heartwarming parts. During filming, I often treated Jing Tian like a little house, and let my true feelings show."

When asked about box office performance, he said, "I don't care about my films unless they gross 100 billion yuan in mainland China!"

Police Story 2013 grossed over 6000 million yuan on its opening day, setting a new record for Jackie Chan's films in mainland China…

“I really want to make some different kinds of movies. The Police Story series is already the eighth one. Hong Kong films have always had this tradition. Every series changes at any time, and new actors appear and become stars. Only when new people keep emerging can movies have a future.”

Ok?
Is this the eighth installment?

Police Story... are there so many?

Four main films, including "New Police Story" and "Police Story 2013"...

Okay, actually Jackie Chan said that "Crime Story" and "Rumble in the Bronx" can also be considered derivatives of police stories...

By the way, Jackie Chan previously said he would "never make action movies again," which prompted a reporter to ask him about it. Jackie Chan explained, "The original script had more dialogue and less action, but the director added more action scenes after filming started. I know audiences like me doing action movies, but I've really had enough and want to move in other directions..."

Ding Sheng interjected: "The original script had even more action scenes!"

"I heard that the original script was written by Shen Yan?"

"Yes, let's ask Shen Yan to say a few words!"

Shen Yan stood up, greeted the audience behind him, and then said, "In the beginning, I referenced 'Game of Death' and 'New Police Story' for the script, which had the policeman played by my brother fight against three groups, and finally fight against the villain... It was a pure action scene with interspersed dialogue scenes in between the fight scenes."

Actually, I thought the script was quite good, but it was rejected. I even called the production company to ask, and they said there were too many action scenes… I wish I hadn't written so many action scenes!

"What about the script?"

"I revised the script a bit, turning it into 'The Big Shot 2,' with Wu Jing fighting from beginning to end! Anyway, he's only 39, right in his prime fighting age..."

The host suddenly asked, "Brother Yan, do you have any ideas about collaborating with Jackie Chan?"

Shen Yan smiled and said, "...That depends on whether Jackie Chan has any ideas..."

Jackie Chan nodded: "Of course I'd like to collaborate more with young filmmakers!"

"Then let's talk privately..."

What's your opinion on Police Story 2013, Brother Yan?

"not bad…"

"Could you say a few more words?"

Shen Yan scratched his head: "I really admire Director Ding Sheng. He actually dared to take on this directorial position. You know, the first Police Story is ranked second in the world's 100 greatest action films, and the Police Story series is endlessly watchable... He had the guts to take on the directorial job and then made Police Story 2013... No matter how the final product turns out, it's pretty impressive!"

"...Thank you, Brother Yan!"

Well, Shen Yan seems to have given an evaluation, but he hasn't given a complete evaluation!
After all, Police Story 2013 had a decent structure, but the narrative and action scenes were terrible…

They are completely unworthy of the Police Story IP!
