I didn't want to be an actor

It’s easy to say “never forget your original intention”, but it’s still very difficult to do it!

Especially for artists who debuted through talent shows in the domestic entertainment industry.

Because the domestic entertainment industry is so easy to get into!

Accumulating a little popularity in the competition can guarantee that you will do well after your debut.

Wu Xuanyi is a typical example.

—— He can make a lot of money without strength or skills, and is also sought after by a bunch of fans. He is simply an invincible existence.

Shen Liang just felt a little regretful - after all, he witnessed the formation of Rocket Girls with his own eyes.

Oh, Rocket Girls danced a dance and then left.

After all, it was the stage of "Sisters Who Make Waves"...

...

After hosting "Sisters Who Make Waves", Shen Liang said goodbye and left - there were still a few scenes in "Love Like a Bouquet".

In the car, he clicked on Maoyan to see the box office of "The Devil's Story".

The total box office was 2.345 billion... and then he was surprised to see that the box office yesterday was 8.8 million?

No, "The Devil's Story" has been released for 28 days...

It's a working day!

There is no reason!

Unless... the distribution company bought box office in order to break 2.4 billion.

"You bought box office without telling me?"

"Buy box office?" Chen Jiadong wondered: "Buy what box office?"

"... The box office of "The Devil" has grown against the market trend, didn't you see it?"

"... Oh, it's mainly because "Drug War 2" is too mediocre... Everyone generally thinks it is not as good as "The Devil"..." Chen Jiadong explained: "Many are the audience who watched it twice or three times!"

"... Really? Let me check Douban..."

Well, it is true. Although the box office of "Drug War 2" was as high as 450 million in the first weekend,... Douban's score is only 6.4 points, and it is still declining...

"Drug War 2" is indeed mediocre. The details, music, acting skills of Andy Lau, Michael Miu, and Louis Koo, including the battle racing, are all good.

Its mediocrity does not lie in the shoddy production, but in fooling, conservatism and insulting the audience's IQ!

The part used to introduce the story is the underworld society;

The part used to echo the previous and the next part is the brotherhood;

The two parts used to ignite the conflict are the deep love between husband and wife and the separation of life and death;

The places used to highlight the characteristics are the car racing and gun battles, the Justice of the Peace and the underworld leader, and the bounty for killing...

The whole film has nothing to do with drug eradication!

After watching it, I felt the twilight of Hong Kong movies: it seems that it is trying to add all the elements of the golden age of Hong Kong movies to a one-hour and forty-minute movie, hoping to still achieve the success of Hong Kong movies in the entertainment-deficient era...

So, it has brotherhood, Jianghu justice, black and white fights, life and death duels, horse racing, beauties, vendettas, and wealth.

But...it's really perfunctory!

In addition, the camera control ability is so poor that although the director Herman Yau was famous for cult films in the past, his camera control is not so bad - "Drug Era 2" did it.

As long as there are more than 3 people involved in a gunfight, you can't tell who is fighting whom. Even when there were only 3 of them left in the last gunfight, it was still unclear who was fighting who!

For the sake of Andy Lau and Louis Koo, I can only get a passing score...

It can only get a passing score.

If there is no "The Devil", "Drug War 2" is barely watchable. After all, Andy Lau VS Louis Koo, plus Michael Miu, this lineup is really rare!

Unfortunately, "The Devil" was released.

Netizens are really complaining like crazy...

But "The Evil" has been released for almost a month after all...

Even if it welcomes a wave of good news, it will be difficult for "The Evil" to break 2.5 billion. After getting the extension key, the box office will be at most 2.45 billion...

Chen Jiadong explained clearly and asked: "Any more questions?"

"No more..."

Chen Jiadong continued: "...Director Liu Jiangjiang, who you asked us to find out, is indeed preparing a movie..."

"Is it about funeral themes?"

"Yes...It's called "The Man Who Planted Stars"!"

"...Okay, help me make an appointment with him, forget it, just tell him directly that I invested in this movie...I'm the leading actor, after June next year...I have a schedule in the second half of the year."

"The Man Who Planted Stars", Lighting Up The Stars, that is "Life Events"...

Chen Jiadong wrote it down, and then said: "Wanhe Tianyi's Liu Xunzimo is indeed preparing for his first movie..."

"Is the script ready?"

"Not yet... The script is still being created..."

"Yeah..." Shen Liang nodded: "Keep in touch..."

"...Okay," Chen Jiadong wrote it down, and then talked about "The Imperial Coroner" which will start filming next week: "The art and set design are in progress. I heard that Meng Ziyi has joined the group in advance and is getting familiar with it..."

"Wait a minute," Shen Liang couldn't accept it: "Aren't you curious about where I got the news?"

"What news ? "

"Director Liu Jiangjiang, Director Liu Xunzimo... about preparing the work..."

Chen Jiadong said seriously: "...it's normal for you to have your own channels..."

Shen Liang...failed to show off, a little depressed: "Forget it, go on!"

"A Sunshine" was selected as the opening film of the Xining Film Festival, we'd better go..."

"Xining Film Festival..." Shen Liang frowned: "Do I have time?"

Chen Jiadong nodded: "It's possible if we squeeze in...Flowers will be finished the day after tomorrow, we will go directly to Xining, catch the opening, and then return to Shenzhen to continue hosting Sister Lang..."

Shen Liang was speechless: "...you have arranged everything, so what else do you have to tell me?"

“If you don’t want to go, then we won’t go!”

“…I’ll go anyway, after all, it’s the Xining Frist Film Festival…”

Wen Muye (Dying to Survive), Qi Yukun (Labyrinth of the Heart), and Zhang Dalei (August) all became famous at the Xining Film Festival…

In recent years, the Xining Film Festival has received more and more attention.

Many film investors are willing to try their luck in Xining—what if they run into the second Wen Muye?

The Xining itinerary was confirmed, and Shen Liang asked again: "Anything else?"

"It's Jing Yi from "The Imperial Coroner". Can we change the actor?"

Shen Liang interrupted directly: "What's wrong with Jiang Qiming?"

"...He...is not from our company..."

"He is an artist of Waterdrop Brokerage Company, and I am also a shareholder of Waterdrop Brokerage Company. What's wrong with me helping one of my own?"

Waterdrop Brokerage Company, Shen Liang, Rao Xiaozhi, Guo Fan, Lu Yang and Wu Jing, a brokerage company formed by five people, signed several good actors, Zhu Yanmanzi, Jiang Qiming, including Tian Xiwei, Zhao Jinmai...

Oh, Shen Liang's aunt is the vice president of Waterdrop Brokerage Company, responsible for the company's daily operations.

"…The company wants you to guide the newcomers…"

Shen Liang refused directly: "I'm not a nanny…Tell Long Danny, forget it this time, if it happens again, I will just leave!"

"Okay, I got it..."

After crossing this item out, Chen Jiadong was about to continue talking when Shen Liang's phone rang. It was the idol who called...

"I'll take a call...Hello..."

Okay, the idol called to congratulate "Want to See You" for its huge success, but there was regret in his tone...

It's understandable, after all, Shen Liang originally planned to act in "Want to See You" with the idol.

It's just that the idol didn't act in it!

The idol attributed this to "Unfortunately, I didn't see the script..."

Shen Liang asked back very straightforwardly: "Even if you saw the script, are you sure your team will agree to your acting? You have to know that when "Want to See You" was established, the director was a newcomer, the male lead was not famous enough, and the supporting actors were newcomers..."
