I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 807 He is not in the arena (Part 2) (13)

To see if a person has appeal, we need to look at whether he has new films in reserve!

The more the economy goes down, the more we can tell...

Jackie Chan has projects like "Panda Project", "The Stranger Family", "The Karate Kid 2", "Rush Hour 4", "Never Let the Rain Stop" and "The Foreigner"...

But, to be honest, "Skiptrace"... no, it should be "Chinese Zodiac". Except for "The Foreigner", Jackie Chan has not had a movie worth watching.

A decline in all aspects!

Especially the action design...

The most unretainable thing in the world!

The beauty leaves the mirror, the flowers leave the tree!

Lian Po is old...

From becoming famous in 1978 to the 2010s, he has been at the top for almost 40 years. What else does such a superstar want?

He was also over 60 when the recession came.

It is unrealistic to expect a person to be as good at fighting and carrying the box office as he was in 1930s and 40s when he was over 60.

However, Shen Liang was still very surprised by Jackie Chan's influence.

After arriving in Budapest, he broadcast several live broadcasts...

At first, he basically introduced the differences between Hollywood crews and mainland crews...

"The biggest difference...I feel that filming is quite easy. I work eight hours a day and have afternoon tea...The director is British, and the producer is also British!"

"Another thing...I don't have much say in the crew...I'm just a filmer!"

"The relationship between the actors...is not good. I'm here to film, not to make friends, and...foreigners really can't be looked at closely, their hair is too heavy!"

There is another point that Shen Liang didn't say clearly - "Alien: Taken" is basically American and British actors, and they are quite hostile to Shen Liang from China.

Later, he started talking about Jackie Chan.

"I'm filming in Budapest, and almost everyone here knows Jackie Chan. Chan, I was on a video call with Jackie Chan the other day to discuss the filming of "Go West, Anxi". The director casually asked me who I was talking to, and I mentioned Jackie Chan... He was so excited that he almost knelt down! "

"He is really awesome in Hollywood... Jackie Chan is a legend. He can handle director, martial arts instructor, leading actor, and even coordination with the local government! After "Rumble in the Bronx" became a hit in the North American market, American producers brought checks and invited Jackie Chan to come, so he has a say.

In Jackie Chan's words: I choose the producer, director, actors, and scripts. They shoot whatever I want to shoot. On the set, the crew has to do whatever we say. In addition to the salary, I also want a share of the box office and distribution in the Asia-Pacific region. "I have to ask for pocket money in addition to the film remuneration during the filming. They invited me here, and I have to ask for so many conditions."

"I... I almost asked for the film remuneration and the distribution rights..."

"Why are Jackie Chan's movies not popular anymore... Jackie Chan's previous movies are essentially about losers' counterattacks. Young people all over the world like to watch the story of a loser who makes a fool of himself but counterattacks. Unfortunately, Jackie Chan can no longer make that kind of movie. He is not only an actor now, but also one of the symbols of the country. Moreover, it is not appropriate for him to play such a counterattack movie now, after all, his age is here."

"I admire him very much..."

...

Of course, Shen Liang's admiration cannot change the fact that "Dragon Horse Spirit" was stepped on by "Silent Killing"!

Even if "Slam Dunk" was released, it still did not stop "Silent Killing" from continuing to sell well at the box office...

As of April 28, "Silent Killing" was released for 24 days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 1.7 billion!

Compared with the cost of 80 million + 40 million publicity, it made a lot of money.

However, recently, the news of "The Rescue" roadshow at Peking University has been circulating online.

A Peking University student was arrogantly responded to and even pressured by the film company for questioning the professionalism of the film during the roadshow, and was forced to write a "self-criticism"...

I can only say that the distribution and publicity teams of the crew are a bunch of arrogant idiots!

Such things can be spread?

There are even videos...

In the video, a student questioned that the firefighter's shoes were corroded and lost a leg, which violated chemical common sense. The director responded: The scene is so complicated that who knows what material reaction will be generated. The young man still has a long way to go in scientific research...

It is really hard to understand where director Pang Shun got the confidence to say this!

After becoming famous for "Seeing a Ghost", Pang Shun directed "Storm 2", "The House Girl Detective Guixiang", "My War"...

Which one is not a huge loss?

Especially "Storm 2", which directly made the producer Orange Sky lose money to doubt life, and then never dared to make a big investment again... Pang Shun, a Hong Kong director, used to shoot tacky commercial films and ghost films. Why did he suddenly change his style and shoot a main theme film?

"My War", "Cross the Yangtze River", "The Rescue"...

Does Director Peng really love the motherland and the mainstream?

Nonsense, he saw that commercial mainstream films are popular in recent years and can make money, so he came to the mainland to do patriotic business...

Business should be done in a business-like manner!

With such a cool attitude, who is he showing off to?

Will he still be silent under the halo of Hong Kong directors?

It's 2023!

By the way, he also has a "Dangerous Route"... Andy Lau + Zhang Zifeng!

Oh, "The Rescue" set a record: the cost was close to 400 million, and the box office was less than 40 million.

Following "Asura", the latest loss record of the Chinese film market...

You should know that "Turandot: The Origin of the Curse" directed by Zheng Xiaolong was not so miserable - the cost was 300 million!

...

The competition during the May Day holiday is very fierce…

17 new films have been scheduled, including "King of the Sky", "Prosecution Storm", "Shocking Rescue", "Mazhuang Village", "Unfamiliar Life", "Changsha Nightlife", "Countdown to Love You", etc., covering military, disaster, comedy, law, love, animation and other genres…

In addition, "Silent Killing" and "Slam Dunk" are still popular…

However, after May 5th, the battle gradually subsided, and the box office of "Unfamiliar Life", "King of the Sky" and "So Many Years" was OK…

"Silent Killing" got the extension key, and originally planned to take a few million to shoot it and directly withdraw it from the theater. Unexpectedly, it closed more than 30 million in three days during the May Day holiday.

"New Journey", "Keep You Safe", "Annual Meetings Can't Stop", and then this year's "Silent Killing"...

All of them have box office of over 1 billion!

Although Shen Liang did not participate in the last three films, they all sold well at the box office...

The key word of mouth is very good!

Shen Liang Studio is becoming more and more famous... "Reincarnation" and "Beasts Clawing at Straws" which were not released this year are highly anticipated...

During the key interview, the main creative team unanimously stated that the topic of the film was determined by Shen Liang!

Chen Musheng said: "Shen Liang asked me to make "Silent Killing"... He told me that the current market lacks movies that can vent emotions. How can we vent emotions? Fight violence with violence!"

"This time we chose the theme of school bullying... Many large-scale dramas are not suitable for happening in China. Shen Liang suggested that we make the background empty..."

"We did refer to Korean movies, mainly "Earthworm"..."

"... We made the plot ourselves. According to Shen Liang's suggestion, we created the atmosphere in the style of horror movies..."

"He is my boss, of course I listen to him!"
