I didn't want to be an actor

After listening to Rouba's complaint, Shen Liang was a little speechless: "The daily views are close to 90 million, which is not bad!"

"...But the discussion is not high..."

"Nonsense, who watches TV during the Olympics?"

"But your movie has a box office of almost 600 million, and many people praise Nazha for his good acting..."

Well, the fact that "You Are My Glory" is not popular is not the point, the point is Naza!

Tsk tsk, it seems that not only Nazha cares about her, but she also cares about Nazha!

How to reconcile this contradiction?

It's very simple, let them share it...

As the saying goes, if we have shouldered a gun together, our relationship must be strong!

Ahem...

Shen Liang shook his head to get rid of this unhealthy thought, and then said: "Unlike you, she has never played any memorable role, let alone a hit film and television drama... After so many years, she has returned. It’s still a vase! It’s a little different and I was praised immediately!”

The meaty guy on the other end of the phone immediately agreed, "I think so too."

"...You are different. You are capable, but you just don't have the right opportunity to show it..."

"Well...I've been reading the script of "Public Prosecution Elite" recently and experienced life!"

"Yes, this is a good actor..."

"Then I miss you..."

"I'm going to Xiamen to film "The Beginning" the day after tomorrow. You can come and visit me."

"Xiamen...Okay, I understand."

"Well," Shen Liang was about to hang up the phone when he remembered something: "If you come, please inform me in advance so that I can adjust the time..."

"What? Are you afraid that I will run into your secret?"

Yes, I’m just afraid that you’ll bump into the power!

"...What secrets can I have? My schedule is full every day. What if on the day you come, I happen to have an appointment to do a live broadcast!"

"...Okay, I get it!"

After chatting, Shen Liang immediately returned to the private room...

Continuing with the previous topic…

It's "The Great Earthquake"...

Of course Liu Jiangjiang is very interested in the movie "The Great Earthquake" - no director can resist such a subject!

The question is how to shoot!

Since the character's human nature is guaranteed to be tortured, can he still pass the trial smoothly?

"I suggest that we wait until "Life Events" is released, and then we meet Mr. Fu together and listen to his thoughts!"

Liu Jiangjiang nodded and asked by the way: "Mr. Fu is now the general manager of Huaxia Film?"

"Oh, China Film will change its leadership soon. Mr. Fu will soon be the general manager of China Film!"

"How do you know?"

"…secret!"

…

On the third day of the release of "Life Events", which is August 1, the number of films scheduled increased by 8 points, reaching 52.4%.

The main film schedule of "Future Summer" has dropped

Frankly speaking, "Future Summer" is actually not too bad, and the plot is passable...

The combination of starring Wu Lei + Zhang Zifeng is also considered a popular combination.

Before the movie was released, from #武琴 张智峰 Behind the Scenes yyds# to #武瀬 ZhangZifeng CPSense#, to the various interactive videos and kiss scene highlights of the two leading actors, the focus of the drama’s marketing basically fell on “Lei Feng CP” "feeling".

"In midsummer, in the lush years, all the heartbeats are you; in the future, in the bustling crowd, all the eyes are you."

"In midsummer, the heart beats with joy; in the future, there is fearless courage."

"In midsummer, the joy is hidden in the eyes; the future is the light that overflows the eyes."

Take a look at this promotional copy, it’s a perfect QQ space!

As the showrunners hoped, the early marketing results of "Future Summer" are indeed good. There are many people on the Internet crying and clamoring to go to the theater to watch Wu Lei and Zhang Zifeng fall in love.

After it was released, the audience was confused after watching the movie - there were no sweet interactive scenes in the movie, there was no greasy love plot, and the hero and heroine could not even be considered "mutual admiration" or "ignorant feelings".

The male protagonist has his own Bai Yueguang, not the female protagonist.

Well, the male protagonist is gay...

Neuropathy!

Director Chen Zhengdao's debut film was "Summer Light Years", which was about homosexuality...

There are a group of 'artists' who like to shoot this kind of subject.

In a sense, it is indeed easier to win awards if you shoot same-sex subjects!

But what age is this?

Actually playing with same-sex themes?

You must know that for the sake of fairness, several major film festivals have specially set up gay film awards. For example, Cannes has a gay film award, they are called the Queer Palm Award...The Berlin Film Festival also has a Teddy Bear Award...The Venice International Film Festival has a queer film award. Lion Award.

Why not be judged together with normal movies?

Because the default is not normal!

Ahem, such a movie is meaningless and not good to watch. In the original time and space, there was no movie worth mentioning in the same period, so it occupied the theater for 28 days until August 27th. , Boy" is released...

This time, I encountered "Life Events" head-on...

The film schedule was directly cut by 8%, and basically all of it was added to "Life Events".

Promotion in Guangzhou is still a press conference.

"I read a lot of comments, and they all said they were deliberately sensational. In fact, they were not sensational. We deleted many parts that were deliberately sensational..."

Shen Liang nodded: "Yes, the first plot was that Sanmei decided to send Xiaowen away alone and filmed a scene of chasing a car. It was absolutely sensational... But Sanmei's growth was gone... I think it's not so much the audience's enjoyment. It’s better to talk about sensationalism than to make the audience sincere... The audience can tell whether you are making a movie sincerely or trying to fool the audience!”

"After four days of release, the box office exceeded 1 billion. What do you think?"

Liu Jiangjiang smiled: "It feels like a dream... Fortunately, I have Brother Liang. Brother Liang is the box office record holder of Chinese movies. Every movie he stars in is a hit. He knows my experience and changes in mentality very well. Sometimes, I feel my heart is racing, so I talk to him and learn from him..."

"What did Brother Liang say?"

"He asked me to call Director Guo Fan..."

"What expectations does Brother Liang have for the box office of "Life Events"?"

Shen Liang thought for a while and said: "I think the more "Life Events" sells better, the better. It can inspire the industry: as long as you are willing to take Chinese stories seriously, without prejudice or malice, no matter it is a Chinese-style village or a city or even It is an urban-rural fringe. If you tell a story carefully, the audience's eyes will be sharp.

The story and interpretation of "Life Events", including the arrangement of each plot and the twists and turns of conflicts, are full of Chinese flavor, which is the human touch and fireworks in memories. Chinese-language movies do not need to be condescending, nor do they need to be mysterious, the audience will naturally pay for it! "

"Also, let me tell you something. I don't know if you have noticed it. Several new directors I work with have one characteristic: they have never thought about foreign film festivals... and even despise..."

Liu Jiangjiang thought for a while and then said: "It's not contempt, I just feel that there is no need to deliberately cater to it. The theme of "Life Events" can actually be made into the kind of routine narrative that the film festival likes, but... we chose commercialization... We have never compared it to the Japanese movie "The Embalmer"..."

"Then have you seen "The Embalmer"?"

Liu Jiangjiang scratched his head: "...I haven't finished reading it! I don't quite understand the undertakers in suits and leather shoes who offer funerals, and I've never seen a cellist willing to come to do funerals... Maybe that's Japanese culture!"

Shen Liang answered quickly: "I have watched "The Embalmer" on Douyin. I will show you the movie in five minutes... I don't think there is any need to make a forced comparison. "The Embalmer" is just a literary film..."

This is a response to the comment made by many people that ‘it’s not like learning The Encoffiant’…

Liu Jiangjiang added: "We compare weddings and funerals as life events that happen only sooner or later, so we put up the slogan 'Enthusiasm in serving customers' in Heaven... When we were young, we could even set up mourning halls in family areas, and now there is also a one-stop service in rural areas. In my impression, The funeral was lively and noisy, just like the funeral of Xiaowen’s grandmother at the beginning of the film. There were people burning paper, people playing and singing, people playing mahjong, relatives, friends and neighbors coming to pay their last respects..."
