I didn't want to be an actor

In the past two years, due to the impact of the general environment, there have been relatively few film projects...

It’s the same at the global level, for three reasons:

First, the popularity of mobile devices has made movies no longer the most suitable form of daily entertainment. This change has impacted the film industry, just as the emergence of television has also impacted the film industry;

Second, the economic downturn has affected market confidence and made project financing more difficult;

Third, the epidemic has affected project development efficiency.

The same goes for the domestic level!

However, China's film industry is very immature, so genre films are actually developing rapidly...

Moreover, although the overall proportion of movies in the entertainment industry has declined, the absolute number of consumers in the entertainment industry has increased. The reason is simple - with the development of technology, more and more people have enough to eat and have time to watch movies.

Therefore, Shen Liang’s movies are always a big hit...

The quality of his movies is adequate and even excellent.

There is no problem with the content.

But most domestic filmmakers can’t do it…

On the one hand, it is indeed due to the tightening of censorship, and on the other hand...most of them can't make the audience sympathize like Brother Liang.

After Rouba hugged Shen Liang's thigh, "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", "Secretary Kim", "New Travel Notes", "Shu Mountain", and even "She Disappeared"...

We collaborated on five dramas in a row!

She also wants to take on "The Beast Grasping at Straws"...

So, she simply called him - she was confident now!

The relationship between the two is not about love, it is just romance.

Then... Shen Liang was on the phone.

Well, Brother Liang is chatting with his idol, also about "The Beast Grasping at Straw"...

Indeed, there are not many scripts suitable for actresses in the current domestic film market...

At this stage, apart from the main theme gift films, Shen Liang's films are the only key projects.

However, Brother Liang has already given the role to Zhao Liying.

After all, the idol doesn’t look like the one who was subjected to domestic violence...

"It's just a dark fable about a male thief and a female prostitute. It's not very interesting..."

"The adaptation rights were about to expire, and the company contacted director Cao Baoping. Director Cao Baoping was very interested and took over the directorship..."

"...The actors have been selected, actresses Song Jia and Zhao Liying, actors Fan Wei, Aruna, Jiang Qiming, Peng Yuchang and me..."

"Why is Zhao Liying... Director Cao contacting her... I don't know why, maybe he thinks she is suitable!"

"...Let's meet and talk later tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang continued to eat, and then the phone rang again...it was Rouba.

I also asked about the situation of "The Beast Grasping at Straws".

Brother Liang naturally pushed it to director Cao Baoping.

Rouba hung up the phone directly...

Don't give him a chance to make innuendo...

…

After arriving at BJ, Shen Liang was surrounded by a group of reporters and asked about Zhang Ziyi.

Brother Liang kept talking while walking... "We were discussing a movie, like "The Beast Grasping at Straws"... adapted from the novel of the same name by the Japanese writer Sone Keisuke."

"I pay more attention to Japanese mystery novels. In 2007, Keisuke Sone won the 14th Japanese Horror Novel Award Short Story Award for "Nose", and "Sinking Fish" won the 53rd Edogawa Rampo Award. Later, he won the 53rd Edogawa Ranpo Award for "Tropical Night" "Won the Japanese Mystery Writers Association Short Story Award, he is a very powerful creator..."The Beasts Grasping at Straws" can be regarded as a dark fable, in which people die for money and birds die for food...Through the three-line narrative, It tells a bloody and cruel story with a hint of black humor.”

"I thought it was quite suitable for a movie adaptation... so I bought the adaptation rights..."

"...I have been so busy these past few years that I almost forgot about this movie. At the beginning of this year, director Cao Baoping contacted me and I remembered..."

"... Our movie is a standard group drama, and it won't highlight any one actor. I think it's a waste of top stars to use Auntie Meng in such a movie... She should act in higher-level movies and go to Cannes and Hollywood to showcase The style of top Chinese actors!”

Brother Liang knows how to flatter people...

Obviously I don't use it, but I say I don't deserve it...

Then... I asked about the Spring Festival stall...

After all, the Spring Festival is coming in half a month!

This year's Spring Festival, "Watergate Bridge", "Miracle", "Four Seas"...

The three recognized head options.

It just so happens that the protagonists of "Watergate Bridge" and "Miracle" are both Shen Liang!

"The market for the Spring Festival is big enough. I think whether it's "Watergate Bridge" or "Miracle: Stupid Kid", it can achieve good box office results..."

"I'm definitely optimistic about them all."

"Yu Dong said that "Watergate Bridge" aims at a box office of 7 billion... Then you can ask him... I didn't say that!"

"The box office king... who? I am the box office king? Are you kidding... I am just lucky and caught up with the era of rapid development of Chinese commercial movies... Don't report like this in the future, I can't bear it!"

"Overseas development... I have no such idea for the time being. I will serve the Chinese audience and overseas movie fans first, and we will talk about it later..."

"Well, after filming "Secretary Kim", I will soon collaborate with Senior Brother Zimo on a new movie..."

"Why cooperate with Rouba... She is suitable, and we have a good relationship... My car is here, let's go first!"

Brother Liang has long been trained in the live broadcast room. Dealing with the media is a piece of cake for him!

…

Chen Jiadong came to pick him up.

"After "Famous" reached 3 billion, China Film Group deliberately lowered the account sharing ratio..."

"How high is the setting?"

“13% profit margin…”

"Is there no problem with our profit sharing account?"

"No problem, we take 40% of the profit!"

Shen Liang waved his hand: "Then it's up to them..."

Chen Jiadong nodded and then asked: "We only have three movies this year?"

"Three movies are not enough for you? Do you want to exhaust me to death?"

"iQiyi gave me a notebook, which I think is pretty good!"

"What book?"

"Directed by Xu Jizhou, it's called "Crazy", with anti-gangster and criminal investigation themes..."

Shen Liang was surprised: "..."Hurious Blast"? Are you sure it's "Crazy Blast"?"

"Yes, I seem to have called Yang Yang, but Yang Yang didn't answer... Do you have any ideas?"

Well, this is a fact. "Hurry" is a drama series directed by Xu Jizhou after filming "Special Forces of Glory".

The first actor I wanted to find was Yang Yang...

Looking for Yang Yang to play An Xin!

The Reuters press release had "Yang Yang and Li Yitong collaborate again..."

Shen Liang nodded: "... Anti-gangster themes have always been a popular theme, and I also want to act in one... In this case, you can help me contact Xu Jizhou..."

"That's okay..."

"Anything else?"

Chen Jiadong whispered: "They asked me to ask you if you want to take on "Volunteer Army"? If you are willing to shoot, the director can be replaced!"

"Forget it," Shen Liang shook his head: "I already filmed "Changjin Lake"..."

"Chen Feiyu is so cheap!"

"We have to give other actors a chance, and we can't occupy the ecological niche!"
