I didn't want to be an actor

About Hong Kong movies…

Shen Liang’s impression is that after 2023, Hong Kong movies will completely collapse in the mainland!

"Stealth", "Breaking Point" and "New Order" three consecutive attacks...

The black comedy "Temporary Heist" was highly anticipated, but it turned out that the movie didn't do well after its release.

The box office just exceeded 200 million in the 22nd day after its release. In fact, it cannot be considered a special failure, but it is just like Hong Kong movies now - the box office is between 20 and 300 million, neither up nor down, and it is obviously not in line with the positioning of Hong Kong blockbusters where superstars gather.

The movie "Prompt Heist" itself depicts the life of the lower class, and has the flavor of "Two Smoking Barrels". The acting skills are all online, but the script can only support the first 30 minutes, and the latter part is not strong enough, and it does not meet the audience's expectations. I can't have that kind of aftertaste. I just watched it and didn't watch it a second time.

This is also the problem with Hong Kong movies in the past two years. Even the excitement has become a bit dull.

Not even Andy Lau can do it!

"Goldfinger", which performs best in the market, has a total box office of less than 600 million yuan, and its rating has just exceeded 6.0.

In fact, the filmmakers who first went north missed the best decade - 2000 to 2010!

These ten years have been the beginning of commercial films in the Mainland. Mainland filmmakers are completely incomparable to the Hong Kong filmmakers who made their fortune in commercial films!

But this group of people did not change their thinking. They felt that the mainland was relatively backward and could just deal with it casually. So during these ten years, there were countless bad movies made under the banner of stars and blockbusters.

It completely exhausted the patience of the mainland audience...

After 2010, a new batch of mainland film and television personnel gradually figured out techniques suitable for mainland audiences and gradually became new commercial film directors. Audiences gradually stopped being superstitious about Hong Kong stars and turned more towards mainland actors.

In another ten years, not only Hong Kong movies, but also Hollywood movies will gradually lose their popularity in the mainland market...

Of course, it is now 2017, and Hong Kong movies can be considered dead but not dead. Every year there are one or two top-notch works, such as the "Ip Man" series, the "Chills" series, "Chasing the Dragon", "Warriors", and "Anti-Drug 2" , "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", "Rage·Crime"...

Shen Liang really liked "Rage: Serious Case", and he wanted to ask Zhang Chongbang on behalf of Qiu Gangao: There was a man named Ma Jun who punched the suspect into an idiot. At that time, the entire police force was protecting him. Tell me, what is Right, what is wrong? The man I killed was a drug dealer...you want me to go to jail?

…

"Yes, I will record "Mars" tomorrow... I may record two episodes at once, and this season will be over!"

"My salary was very cheap..."Tomorrow's Son" had just ended at that time. "Mars" directly approached me and signed a one-season performance contract...The next season...it's hard to say. Of course I am willing to participate, but I am a member of Tengxun Man, my actors have been contracted by Tengxun. After all, "Mars" is a variety show on Youku. If I go, I will definitely be a permanent member of Tengxun!"

"...frequently participating in variety shows destroys the actor's sense of mystery..." After reading this comment, Shen Liang was speechless: "I have Mao's sense of mystery. I live broadcast for three hours every week and tell you everything. How can I still feel mysterious? It’s normal for a star to maintain exposure! Don’t use variety shows to show off your acting skills with too much mystery..."

"There are some actors whose image is fixed because they perform so well in one film. As a result, the audience in other films thinks they are the same character as before and cannot break through!"

Mentioned the mystery of actors again...

In the traditional sense, great actors, who we call Jiao'er, have to keep a distance from the audience.

This distance does not mean that he has to hold the shelf, but to maintain a sense of mystery.

The reason is that I cannot let the audience have a fixed understanding of me, otherwise it will affect the audience's credibility and sense of empathy when shaping my image in the future.

But Shen Liang’s goal is not to be a big actor. He entered the industry just to be a star and make a lot of money!

Does it matter that God is not mysterious?

In a play, actors are just one part.

Whether a play is good or not depends on the acting skills of the actors, as well as the screenwriter, director, opponents, etc.

Moreover, in this era of rapid informationization, actors no longer have any sense of mystery.

Audiences are very forgetful. Without exposure, and if you actively avoid the audience, the audience will naturally forget about you.

…

At the end of the live broadcast, Shen Liang sang again, and by the way, he said that he would participate in the Mango Channel New Year's Eve, two songs... one "Seaweed Dance" and one "Flowers Along the Way"...

The appearance fee is a friendly price: 1.2 million!

No matter how friendly you are, you have to give money.

Jiangsu Satellite TV next door is asking for 1.5 million!

After all, Shen Liang is close to Mango TV...

Moreover, the hosts are Wang Han and He Ji. If Xu Shangao participated in Jiangsu Satellite TV's New Year's Eve for the first time, he was called an "Internet celebrity" by the host... The host Li Hao even reported "Old Enemy" as " Fate》…

What's even more amazing is that the directing and directing team also said, "Xu Shangao is a ratings killer. He can't sing well and his hands are still shaking, so he might as well be showing ads!" ’ and the like, it’s humiliating!

Do you think Jiangsu Satellite TV only targets Xu Shangao?

Wrong, Avril Lavigne also participated back then, and then she was left alone... The host was reading an advertisement, and no one paid any attention to her...

Ahem...

After arriving in Changsha, Shen Liang went to see Yang Di as usual. The two chatted for a while when Teacher He called...

"I'm with Yang Di...what's wrong?"

""Longing for Life"?"

"I... I need to talk to my agent about this... Oh, to save the show, that's fine, I'll definitely go... OK, I'll talk to Di Ge, we'll go together!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Liang said to Yang Di: "Teacher He asked us to save the show... It seems that the guest who had agreed before couldn't go because of something..."

"Where to go?"

"Longing for Life..."

Yang Di laughed: "Didn't you say in your live broadcast that you hated Longing for Life!"

"Have you watched my live broadcast?"

"I just watched that episode!"

Shen Liang smiled: "... I didn't know much at that time... I think now that since the audience likes it, there must be something good about it!"

"... You are really good..." Yang Di was speechless, and then asked: "Did you say when?"

"Tomorrow night... Let's go directly after recording Mars!"

"…Okay."

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Wei also came over. The three of them went out to eat together...

Liu Wei said: "I heard that the guest of this episode is Xin Zhilei..."

"Want to take advantage of the popularity of "The Birth of the Actors"? Is she suitable for "Mars"? "

"Then I don't know...I heard that the program team invited her~"

Shen Liang interrupted: "Zhejiang TV has a close relationship with Youku. Many contents are not given to China Blue TV, but are instead sent to Youku..."

"What is China Blue?"

"…The video platform made by Zhejiang Satellite TV…Forget it if you haven't heard of it!"

In fact, China Blue TV was launched only 7 months later than Mango TV, and it is comparable to Mango TV...

Unfortunately, many programs of Zhejiang Satellite TV are outsourced, and there is no way to broadcast them exclusively on its own APP...

The copyright of "The Voice of China" belongs to Canxing!

In addition, Zhejiang Satellite TV is also very fierce in internal strife. It does not pay attention to video APPs. For a long time, it has only cooperated with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, and has not paid attention to the development of its own APP...
