I didn't want to be an actor

"Keep You Safe" has found a lot of actors. Except for the lead actor Lei Jiayin, the other actors have basically remained unchanged...

No, Li Xueqing did not appear, replaced by Xin Zhilei, and Song Qian was replaced by Na Zha.

Mary, Yin Zheng, Wang Xun, Jia Bing, Yang Di, Pan Binlong and Qiao Shan are all here!

Everyone is very optimistic about this movie...

Shen Liang is very grateful to them: "They are all comedians who can stand alone. They all have rich performance experience and have strong personal performance styles. I am quite happy that they can come and that everyone can be unified into one film system." Proud…”

"Box office expectations... I think it should be about 800 to 1 billion. It is not a hilarious comedy. In fact, we once wanted to make it a serious theme..."

Mary was curious: "How can this movie be made into a serious subject?"

"It's very simple. Just change Han Lu's identity to a lady sitting on the stage or a mistress... Then the development of the story will be different..."

Lei Jiayin's eyes lit up and asked: "...Why don't you change it?"

"This is the first time that our studio has taken the lead in producing and investing in a film. We want to focus on public taste. If Han Lu is really a sitting lady or a mistress, the story would be too serious... it would be difficult to make!"

Again, Han Lu has never been forced to do anything. The theme of the story is spreading rumors, and her value orientation is against spreading rumors.

If you really have been a lady sitting on the stage, then the theme of the story is discrimination, and the value orientation is undoubtedly anti-discrimination.

Moreover, if Wei Ping'an goes around in circles and finally proves that Han Lu is the lady sitting on the stage...

Then the audience will feel like they are being fed a fly!

…

"Keep You Safe" will be screened for three days before being released on a large scale...

"Ten Thousand Miles Homeward Bound" is so powerful that theaters estimate that "Ten Thousand Miles Homeward Bound" is worth 3 billion!

"Keep You Safe" and "Ordinary Heroes" have a volume of one billion...

A very normal prediction: There should be a movie with a box office of 3 billion in the National Day slot. It must have a movie with a box office of 3 billion, otherwise, the entire schedule will be ruined.

During the screening stage, Shen Liang did not follow the road show, which does not mean that he gave up promotion.

Received "Four Flavors of Poison" and "Lan Yu Parlor" from "China Film Report"...

Basically, we talked about some of the behind-the-scenes creation of the movie "Keep You Safe"...

Very original propaganda.

"Thirteen Invitations" also went...

This is my second time participating in "Thirteen Invitations".

We made an appointment at a teahouse in BJ.

Xu Zhiyuan was still the same as before, not very good at chatting. He exchanged greetings when we met: "You and I met last time, nothing changed?"

"Fortunately...I lost more than 20 pounds before, but then I gained it back..."

"I heard they said you slowed down your filming pace this year?"

"...Well, in the past two years, I kept shooting and shooting without leaving any space for myself..."

"What's your mentality?"

Shen Liang thought for a while: "On the one hand, I have indeed promised the producers and investors in advance... On the other hand, I am also worried that if this drama becomes popular, won't I be squeezed out?"

"Do you feel this kind of pressure?"

Shen Liang nodded: "There will be..."

Xu Zhiyuan was curious: "Will someone really threaten you?"

"I was quite worried in the first two years. After all, I was only a little famous at that time and had good luck... At that time, I filmed four dramas and four movies in a year, and they had to broadcast live every night. I couldn't wait to keep going..."

"Then how do you get away with it?"

"...It's not that I'm looking away, but I really feel that my current achievements are something that others will never be able to catch up with..." Shen Liang shrugged: "I've also worked hard, it doesn't mean that I've dropped out or anything. , I still insist on filming!”

"You just mentioned luck, do you think you are lucky?"

Shen Liang nodded: "It's really because of my luck... My debut film was "Cohabitation in Time and Space", and then "The Wandering Earth". I met many professional filmmakers, and they were all thoughtful filmmakers, which made me interested in this industry. ”

"Then do you think you are talented?"

"...It definitely counts, but it's far behind compared to the real people..."

"Then what do you think is your strongest ability?"

"I feel that my execution ability is quite strong... As soon as I think of or see a theme, I will immediately find a screenwriter to discuss it."

…

The last time I recorded "Thirteen Invitations" was to promote a movie, Shen Liang's status was considered top-notch at the time.

This time it’s more of a producer!

"I feel like making movies is quite difficult..."

"How to say?"

"I hold live chats every week," Shen Liang explained: "I found that many of my fans basically don't go to the cinema. Their actual words are, 'It would be great to watch short videos and play games if you have time!', modern entertainment and relaxation There are too many methods, and many times, the audience is unwilling to buy tickets and enter the theater..."

Xu Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes!"

"We are not only competing with our peers, but also competing with many other entertainment methods! What's even worse is that many of our peers are extremely conceited. They look down on the audience and feel that even if they are shit, as long as they buy high-priced films and do good marketing, they will have a box office success. They can make a lot of money... They forget that the audience can choose not to buy tickets!”

Shen Liang added: "Let me tell you, Chinese audiences are really becoming more and more rational. If you don't show some ability to serve me well, you, even if I am the king of heaven, can't even think of taking it out of my pocket." penny."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyuan chuckled: "So, you scolded "Tomorrow's War"?"

"The promoter of this movie is so annoying. You can just play the victim, but why attack me? My movie is almost out of theaters..."

Shen Liang picked up the tea, took a sip, and then said: "In this era, if the quality of a movie is good enough, it will naturally attract onlookers without playing the victim."

"I'm very curious," Xu Zhiyuan interrupted him: "How did you decide to invest in the movie?"

"It's not a deliberate transformation. The movies I starred in before were self-invested, and the salary was converted into investment, because my salary is high..."

"Is your salary high?"

"Very high!" Shen Liang nodded: "Hollywood invited me and offered less than 10 million US dollars, but I didn't even watch it!"

"Then...which movie has the highest pure salary?"

"Miracle Stupid Kid", I didn't take any share of that movie, I just took the salary..."

"What about the share?"

"The two parts of Changjin Lake... I took 8% of the box office share... you can do the math..."

"Then..." Xu Zhiyuan silently calculated: "300 million?"

Shen Liang nodded: "The total is more than 300 million!"

"So, you can afford to invest in movies!"

"Yes... For example, "Keep You Safe" and "Random Killing" and "Annual Meeting! Can't Stop" all cost 50 million to 80 million yuan to produce. When we started the project, we didn't think about making a lot of money, we just thought about not losing money!"
