I didn't want to be an actor

Shen Liang must pay for it!

Not to mention that he is the male lead, just because of the high investment profit ratio of 1:10 in "The Wandering Earth", there is no reason not to invest...

Oh, the reason why Wanda withdrew its investment is because "The Wandering Earth" does not comply with the existing film and television investment rules:

The routine is generally like this, choose a popular IP, find two popular young talents, find a big director in the industry, sign a gambling agreement, have big capital lead the investment, and a group of local bosses will follow. It is best to recruit some unknown origins. With the money, he pays sky-high salaries to popular actors, blows up the set props several times, and makes financial statements look good.

Don't worry about the plot and production, all the money is spent on promoting the movie to boost the box office. Every young actor has tens of millions of fans. They are willing to pay for it, and all the costs are recouped.

Wanda initially invested in "The Wandering Earth", which is understandable. After all, Liu Cixin's work is now a super big IP...

"The Wandering Earth" is Liu Cixin's first science fiction novel to be made into a movie, which naturally has historical significance. Wanda's involvement in it and taking this opportunity to invest and make money is a reflection of her great foresight.

In fact, if it had not encountered Waterloo, Wanda probably would not have withdrawn its investment casually...

It's a pity that Wanda ran out of money, and then she chose the two projects "The Wandering Earth" and "The Lover 2" that seemed safer...

With this choice, there’s no problem at all!

The question is, this company withdrew its capital and invested in "Lovers 2". Are you short of money?

In fact, as long as people from Wanda come to the set and stay for a few days, they can feel everyone's enthusiasm...

This emotion is very touching!

Of course, there is also a small premise: the premise is that you can be moved...

After all, passion is something that can only be felt by those who have ideals about movies...

…

During the break in the MV shooting, Zhao Lusi took the milk tea from Shen Liang, took a sip, and then sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so busy!"

"…well enough,"

"Then how long did you say you slept these past few days?"

"...I can sleep while waiting for the filming...It's not like I have to go back to the hotel to sleep."

Yes, on the surface, Shen Liang has almost no time to rest these days...

The three MVs were shot together and completed in four days...

——It was originally planned to take five days, but isn’t the third episode of “Mars” about to start recording!

Shen Liang must use all his energy...

So, it seems, there is almost no downtime…

But in Shen Liang's opinion, it's all a trivial matter, just take some time to talk!

Zhao Lusi shook her head: "I can't. I lay down and fell asleep...I couldn't get up at all."

"Then what do you do when you're filming?"

"It's different when filming. You might have to wait three or four hours for a scene!"

Shen Liang was confused: "You have to wait three or four hours to play the heroine?"

Zhao Lusi shook her head: "I have never played a heroine..."

"...Soon, I heard that Wow Haw Wow is going to make a movie over there, and the heroine is you!"

"Really?" Zhao Lusi was very excited, and then asked: "Who is the male protagonist? Are you?"

"...It's definitely not me..."

"Why?"

"I still want to film "The Wandering Earth"..."

"Yes..." Zhao Lusi nodded, she was not a troubled person...

Not even the legendary love brain... changed the subject: "Then you will go to Changsha to record "Mars" tomorrow?"

"Um…"

"The second issue of "Mars" has a good number of views..."

"I know, Chen Jiadong told me," Shen Liang nodded: "He said that short plots are very popular..."

"My agent also told me."

"Weibo Super Chat has our CP gathering place!"

"…real?"

"See for yourself..."

Zhao Lusi quickly took out her mobile phone, opened Super Call, and searched...

Shen Liang also clicked on his phone. Instead of scrolling through Weibo, he started playing TikTok...

He is thinking about how "Seaweed Dance" can be combined with Douyin marketing to make money quickly...

After all, "The Wandering Earth" will definitely require continued investment, and he doesn't want to miss it.

How can I make money quickly?

His idea is to account for one-fifth of the investment, which is 50 million...

There is still a shortfall of about 40 million...

The settlement cost of the first part of "The Wandering Earth" was just over 200 million, plus the total cost of promotion and distribution was 350 million - the promotion cost was added after the release...

Xuanfa is not included in the investment share. During settlement, Xuanfa will be directly deducted...

The day before yesterday, Shen Liang calculated the share he was about to get: the share from the concert would probably be more than 10 million; the share from the EP was hard to say, but it was estimated to be around 10 million...

If you want to make money quickly, you have to keep doing commercial performances, perform hundreds or dozens of shows, or appear in three or five variety shows...

Hey, it’s so hard to make money!

Shen Liang was just thinking when a voice came from behind him: "Brother Liang..."

"What's wrong?"

Shen Liang turned his head and saw that it was Chen Jiadong. The latter hesitated to speak. Shen Liang waved his hand with an indifferent expression: "It's okay, Lu Si is not an outsider!"

Having said that, Zhao Lusi left with great discernment...

Chen Jiadong then spoke: "...Douyin said that if you are willing to sign the contract, they will provide all the publicity resources..."

Shen Liang was speechless: "How do I sign a contract? I'm an artist under Wow Haw Wow!"

"What they mean is that you open an account on Douyin and post a few videos..."

Shen Liang rolled his eyes: "How about I just change the live broadcast base from Douyu to Douyin?"

"...That's what they mean!"

"...What are you asking for..." She was about to refuse subconsciously, but Shen Liang suddenly realized something and asked, "How much are they asking for?"

"Sixty million..."

“…These Internet people are really rich!”

"What about us?"

"You talk to them, wait for a while first...it's best to wait until my EP is released..."

Chen Jiadong understood immediately: "Are you trying to ask them to increase the price?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes... ByteDance is rich anyway, so there is no need for us to help them save money!"

"...I'm worried that Tencent has another objection..."

"What do they think?"

"Isn't Tengxun working hard on micro-video... If we sign a contract with Douyin, will we offend them?"

Hearing this reason, Shen Liang was speechless: "Then you asked Tengxun Micro Video to offer 60 million to sign me up... You don't pay me, but you still want me to be loyal? Are you kidding me?"

"Tencent also has a live broadcast platform, right?"

"His role is to coordinate the promotion of the game. He mainly focuses on the game and has nothing to do with my track!"

Just as he was talking, Liu Yin came over and said, "Have a rest? Let's continue shooting!"

…

Why did you forget the live broadcast?

He has brought 5 million fans into the circle!

For most fans of live broadcasts, I will follow wherever the anchor goes, and most users will still switch platforms...

Therefore, in recent years, online live broadcast platforms have poached people at high prices...

There is even news that PDD300 million will switch to Panda TV...

But there is a problem. Douyu originally signed a two-year contract with Shen Liang.

Although the contract is about to expire, Shen Liang said more than once in the live broadcast room, "I will not change jobs..."

If this guy switches to Douyin for money and word gets out...

The character is broken!

Alas, it’s difficult!

Let's wait for Douyin to add more money...

I believe brothers can understand...

After all, there is no shame in spreading the word about making money.

Now... continue shooting the MV!

Things have to be done bit by bit, and it is unlikely that you will dominate domestic entertainment right away...
