I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 808 Returning to the Country (23)

"You should think like this. The establishment of industry standards requires a lot of long-term accumulation. It took less than ten years for the Chinese film and television industry to truly move out of the workshop stage and initially touch the threshold of industrialization."

"In fact, we have done a good job. The professionalism of the crew of "The Wandering Earth 2" has been greatly improved!"

Shen Liang is live streaming again...

He is quite idle. He only shoots for eight hours a day and has free time for the rest of the time.

But Shen Liang is a little afraid of Eastern Europe-"Hostel"...

Although the story of "Hostel" takes place in Slovakia, that place is not far from Hungary-the two countries border each other...

They are all Eastern Europe!

Oh, the movie "Hostel" brought a devastating blow to the tourism industry in Slovakia, forcing the government to sue the film company.

But let's be honest, even without this movie, most of Eastern Europe is still a tourism black hole...

In addition, the QS industry in Budapest is also very developed...

If you go out casually, you may encounter a woman who is soliciting customers!

Back then, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of women from Eastern European CIS countries went to Central and Western Europe to work. The Czech Republic and Hungary were important transit points: the economy was developed, the transportation was well connected, but the prices were not too expensive.

Rice was expensive in Chang'an, and it was difficult to live in a big city. A large number of people who could not make it in Western Europe or who were short of money would stay in the Czech Republic or Hungary.

Then, the pornography industry was legalized!

Then, a bunch of film and television companies specializing in filming SQ films were established...

I heard that there were SQ weekend activities, that is, you pay a little money, you can go to the filming site in person, and add a little money, you can even go down and act as an actor in person!

Liang Ge was not interested at all!

He didn't even think of taking a camera to record, how could he be interested in such a thing?

Continuing the live broadcast, he talked about "Alien: Taken Flight": "The "Alien" series belongs to the space horror series. Whether from the height of space or from the height of the monster thriller genre, it is a very high height. Let's discuss what standards a good monster thriller must meet?"

Thriller is already good. If it can be more than thriller and a little bit scary, it seems to be a fine product.

How to do this is actually very simple. The ancients talked about the three elements of harmony: time, place, and people.

Thrillers often go the other way - if the time is not right, there will often be a countdown; if the place is not right - closed space; if people are not harmonious - a, oh no, a group of top killers (alien) are chasing you under the first two conditions.

Yes, these constitute the three elements of a thriller. "

"I feel it's pretty good, it has the flavor of a traditional popcorn horror movie! ”

“Alien: The Departure Ship… The background is the era of the great exploration of the universe. The planet where the protagonist team is located is a resource-based mining planet. The company immigrated a group of poor people here to dig pits for mining… The role I play is a cyborg… Good guy or bad guy… I feel like a good guy, but I don’t know if the sequel will change!”

“How do I know if there will be a sequel… It depends on the box office situation.”

“It was filmed very quickly. I estimate that I will be able to return to China by the end of the month!”

“…”The Rescue”… I don’t know what happened in the domestic entertainment industry, so I won’t comment on it…”

“I must have been scared. One of the heroines is Miss Han, and the other is Tong Yali. I was out of my mind to comment on such a crew?”

“… It’s quite boring, but I’ve read several books recently, which is also an extra gain!”

“… By the way, iQiyi told me that “Cang Lan Jue” will be broadcast at the end of May. Remember to watch it then… Recently, in addition to reading books, I’ve been following “The Long Season”… It’s really good, an absolutely high-quality drama! ”

“…No more chatting…I’m going to sleep first.”

After leaving the live broadcast room, Shen Liang walked to the balcony of the hotel, looked at the moon hanging in the sky, and suddenly felt a little bored…

Alas, I really should bring a girl with me!

Took out his mobile phone and looked at a series of contacts…Finally, he sighed and checked Weibo…

Art is art, and feelings are feelings…

If you really call someone over, it’s a love affair!

“Alien: Takeaway”, in fact, 20th Century Fox was not optimistic about it at the beginning, and originally wanted to put this movie on streaming media, which is commonly known as online movies.

From this, it can be inferred that the original investment of “Alien: Takeaway” will not be large, but it is a space monster horror movie, and more than half of the scenes need special effects to support it. Without funds, it is almost equivalent to the failure of the movie.

Director Fede Alvarez is a fan of the movie “Alien”, and the co-creators finally convinced the producer to put this movie on streaming media. The movie was upgraded to a theater movie, and additional investment was made.

Then Shen Liang was invited to play one of the leading roles...

Shen Liang's box office appeal in the mainland has long been noticed by Hollywood!

Since 2018, in just four years, the cumulative box office has exceeded 50 billion yuan, a figure that even Tom Cruise at his peak could not achieve.

To be honest, the domestic box office of the "Alien" series in the United States is just so-so. Even James Cameron's "Alien 2" has barely broken the North American box office of 100 million. The so-called authentic "Alien: Prometheus" has only 126 million US dollars in North American box office, and "Alien: Covenant" has only received 78 million US dollars...

So, if this series wants to be successfully restarted, the Chinese market is the key!

But Shen Liang is not easy to invite...

A bunch of Hollywood script invitations started in 2019...

However, Shen Liang didn't even think about looking at most of them!

Hollywood's influence has long been declining.

This is a fact.

In the past, when stars went to Hollywood to play minor roles, they were called "going abroad to gild their reputations". If they appeared on the big screen for three seconds, they could brag about it for three years.

Now, netizens who have been disenchanted say: "Are you sent by monkeys to make people laugh?"

In the past, people went to Hollywood to gild their reputations, but now they might get covered in shit.

Americans themselves don't go to Hollywood to develop, so why should Shen Liang go?

Shen Liang didn't care about "Alien: Takeaway" at first, so he made a big offer and offered a salary of $12 million + 15% profit share!

Either accept it or forget it!

Then, the film company actually accepted it...

Then just act, just treat it as a money-making trip...

As for stealing skills...

To be honest, it's just like that...

"Alien: Takeaway" is just an ordinary popcorn horror movie, not very good.

Letley Scott rarely appeared in the crew.

He was busy promoting "Napoleon" - a biopic of a great French man directed by a British director!

A joke movie insulting France!

Shen Liang has seen this movie...

The narrative of an outstanding male emperor is completely abandoned. Napoleon is portrayed as "a person with height defects, sometimes cowardly and mean, and suspected of being in love, a person who is stared at by Josephine"...

No wonder the French and the French media are furious...

Directly boycott this movie!

At the end of May, Shen Liang finished filming and returned to China that night.
