I didn't want to be an actor

In recent years, the trend of "sister-brother love" has become more and more obvious in urban dramas.

From the inside to the outside of the drama, most of them are set up as "kind and beautiful strong woman + sunny and straight-forward little milk (wolf) dog".

The plot starts with drunken sex, and then starts to fall in love...

The heroines of these dramas are basically successful in their careers, but they have no feelings.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, these settings make people feel a little uncomfortable.

Purely treating sister-brother love as a cheap gimmick, a materialistic consumption, vulgar and serious routine.

In these dramas, the heroines are all successful and single, while the male protagonists are mostly rich second-generations who are not doing their jobs, eating, drinking and having fun, or rebellious, willful, childish and radical little brothers.

Not much fun!

But this theme is very popular, and many post-80s actors have begun to compete in this track, and even the top female stars Yang Mi and Yang Tianbao did not miss this opportunity.

"The 28th Law of Love", "What Love Should Look Like"...

But these two dramas are popular not because of "sister-brother love" or the plot, but because of the popularity of the actors. If other actors are replaced, the effect will only be worse...

Shen Liang...in terms of age, it is very suitable to play a sister-brother love!

But he is unlikely to accept it!

Even if it is an idol, he will not accept it...

The status determines the demand: if an idol accepts a sister-brother love script, it is almost impossible to compromise as the first female lead.

So, the person who plays a sister-brother love with her cannot be someone with their "same status".

It must be someone with a lower status than them.

Try to get more opportunities, or pursue increased exposure and improve their status.

In this way, male actors can ignore their status and be willing to be a foil.

A capable male star cannot be her partner. He also wants to be the first male lead in his own script. Why come to an idol drama for female audiences to be a foil?

There is no lack of fame and resources, and male actors have a wider range of choices.

Unless there is a script that people can't refuse...

However, if there is such a script, it is unlikely to find an idol!

...

Qin Lan stayed for one night and left Hengdian early the next morning. She had to continue filming "Breakout".

"Breakout", the original work "The People's Property", is the sister work of "In the Name of the People". "In the Name" focuses on officialdom issues, and "Breakout" is aimed at large state-owned enterprises this time.

What I want to reflect is that during the reform and opening up process, some people played tricks, resulting in a large loss of state-owned assets, enriching individuals and harming the collective.

The angle is good, but it's a pity that the execution is a bit poor, and more than ten episodes were deleted...

However, as the sequel to the hit drama "In the Name", Qin Lan's participation in it, even as the leading actor, is also a recognition of the industry!

It's just not in good spirits!

Fortunately, there was no fighting scene scheduled today, otherwise, Shen Liang might have made mistakes...

After a short break at noon, he recovered in the afternoon and finished filming...

Dong Wei smiled and asked Shen Liang: "Has "Raging Fire" broken 1 billion?"

"...It should be almost there!"

Shen Liang took out his mobile phone and checked it. 1.027 billion, six days after release...

"1.027 billion!"

"I heard from them that the Hong Kong box office is not bad... It has broken 8 million Hong Kong dollars."

"It's mainly because there are fewer movies released this year. I heard that "Train to Busan 2" sold 15 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong!"

Dong Wei nodded: "The number of American blockbusters released has decreased, so we can only release a few more Korean and Japanese movies."

So far, the highest box office in Hong Kong this year is "Demon Slayer: Mugen Train", which is close to 30 million Hong Kong dollars!

In addition, in Japan, the box office of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train exceeded 364 million US dollars, breaking the record of 31.68 billion yen (239 million US dollars) set by Spirited Away...

"Director, what's up?"

"We are working on a project called "Kill Out of Dragon Inn", are you interested?"

"...Kill Out of Dragon Inn?" Shen Liang asked back; "Isn't this Koo Tin-lek's project?"

Dong Wei shook his head awkwardly: "There is something wrong with Koo Tin-lek..."

Shen Liang understood...

Isn't it just that the Sun Group is gone!

Le Tsai has lost his source of income.

Shen Liang scratched his head: "Let me take a look at the script!"

"Hmm..."

...

In fact, after the big hit of "Raging Fire", many Hong Kong producers have invited Shen Liang...

They are basically some 'long-prepared' projects, such as "Chasing the Dragon 3: Chinatown", "Taking", and "Most Wanted".

They are basically famous directors + famous producers!

"Kill Out of Dragon Inn" is just one of them...

There is even a movie version of "Big Times", and they told him that the lead actor was Jiang Wen who played Ding Hai...

You are talking nonsense...

Hong Kong movies have only one core goal: to make money!

If you can make money, you are a big shot!

But if you can't make money, then no one will care!

Most of these projects are just in the state of "no script yet, if you agree, we will write the script immediately."

The crew in Hong Kong still continues the creative model of the last century: only when the actors nod can they attract investment, and only when they have funds can they write the script...

It's outrageous!

However, in recent years, there have been many independent productions in Hong Kong movies, and basically they complete the script first, then submit it to the Hong Kong Film Development Foundation, apply for venture capital funds, and then if an actor is interested, they will star in it at a low price...

Several of Hui Yinghong's movies, including "Lucky Me", "My Extraordinary Parents" ("A Journey of Love"), including "The Demon", which won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the second time, all came from this!

Hui Yinghong won the Academy Award for Best Actress three times. Except for the first time, which was the first Academy Award, which was all about luck, the next two times were works recommended by the Venture Capital Association...

Well, talking about "Fury: Crime", this movie has a daily revenue of more than 100 million during the working day, and its popularity remains high!

Maoyan directly changed the final box office forecast to 3 billion.

It is undoubtedly the top work of this summer season.

Then, "Eight Hundred" was embarrassed...

In fact, after the release of "Fury: Serious Case", that is, after August 17, "The Eight Hundred" was screened in various ways - 8% of the films were scheduled on the first day, about 20,000 screenings were arranged, and the single-day box office was 20 million up and down…

Screened for three consecutive days.

On the third day, the film schedule reached 15%, and theaters gave 50,000 screenings...

The single-day box office is around 30 million!

This one didn't live up to expectations.

You must know that the cost of "Eight Hundred" is close to 600 million yuan, and it is a super masterpiece...

The box office needs to be at least 1.5 billion to make back the money!

At present, the box office is only about 800 million at most - the industry's view...

Build momentum...how to build momentum?

All offline marketing activities have been cancelled…

It is due to be released on the 21st, and the theaters have only given 30% of the film schedule. It will definitely not be able to beat "Fury: Crime"...

It’s not like it’s above, it’s even worse if it’s not above!

The Huayi brothers still hope that this movie will be a hit and gain some blood.
