I didn't want to be an actor
Chapter 579:
Shen Liang's character and popularity make him unlikely to collaborate with some auteur directors.
Auteur directors refer to directors who show strong personal style and artistic characteristics in film creation.
Their work often strives to express a personal style or vision…
This type of director usually writes and directs himself. He is the sole screenwriter of his own film, so the script can not be affected by external factors and be as faithful to the expression as possible.
For them, actors are a prop to express themselves!
Although Fumino's works belong to the commercial genre, he himself is a very typical author-type director...
After all, he studied under director Tian Zhuangzhuang.
Nowadays, Shen Liang's labels and marks are not obvious yet. Once he develops a unique style, then... no one can suppress him!
Because once there is a clear label, the movie starring Shen Liang will be called Shen Liang's work.
Of course "Miracle" is not, it is Fumino's work!
So Shen Liang’s movie doesn’t need a director?
It is still needed, but what he needs is the kind of director who puts himself as the core of creation. Under this premise, directors just try to add some of their own ideas and never take over the spotlight.
If the director is tough...
Then...you can only tell him to get out!
For example, in Jackie Chan's "Crime", Huang Zhiqiang and Jackie Chan clashed over the shooting concept. Huang Zhiqiang likes to add some violent and sexual elements, but we know that Jackie Chan does not like his movies to have elements that are not suitable for children...
Then Huang Zhiqiang left and Chen Zhihua took over.
Unless he meets a director who has similar ideas to him...
…
On September 9th, Shen Liang shot "Miracle" all morning and took a flight to BJ in the afternoon.
Premiere of "Peak Explosion".
As the first major production with the main theme presided over by China Film Group after the change of leadership in 2019, La Peikang and Jiang Ping stepped down, and Jiao Hongfen and Fu Ruoqing took over.
"Peak Explosion" is the first main theme work hosted by them.
Oh, the host here refers to the main production company - Tencent Pictures and Shen Liang Studio are the second and third production parties respectively...
"My Hometown and Me", "My Fathers and Me", including Shen Liang's "Earth Fire", "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", and "Life Events" all belong to the producer...but they are not the main control.
Last year, "The Fury" and "The Big Crowd" brought 643 million yuan in revenue to China Film.
This year, the three films "Fire on Earth", "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" and "Life Events" contributed more than 1 billion in revenue...
Therefore, "Peak Explosion" cannot be taken too seriously!
I heard that Lao Fu directly said at the meeting, ‘We will use all the efforts of theaters across the country to release “Peak Blast”! ’
Well, it’s very much like Mr. Han’s style back then - Mr. Han said at the premiere of “Red Cliff” that he would devote all his efforts to theaters across the country to release “The Promise”...
This is no joke!
Back to Brother Liang.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Liang met the crew.
After saying hello, Fu Ruoqing asked directly: "Why have you lost so much weight?"
"...The new movie requires me to be thinner...I feel quite handsome!"
"..."Miracle"?"
"Um…"
"Don't work so hard..."
"No, I have only lost less than ten pounds. The main reason is that the movie itself is close to a fairy tale. No matter how wrong the characters are, it will be difficult for the audience to believe..."
Jiao Hongfen on the side said: "You have already made so many box office, and yet you are so demanding on yourself..."
Shen Liang smiled: "Too many people are staring at me, so I don't dare to slack off..." As he spoke, he pulled Yang Zi over: "Two uncles, this is the young actor Yang Zi, a very down-to-earth one. Actors...if you have the right opportunity, you must consider her..."
Fu Ruoqing: "To put it bluntly, we have been chatting for more than half an hour!"
"Then what are you talking about?"
"We just made a bet on the box office of "Peak Explosion"!"
"How much bet?"
"They said 1.5 to 2 billion. I think it's between 2 to 2.5 billion... What do you think?"
"It's hard to say..." Shen Liang scratched his head: "If 5% of the film schedule is reserved for the National Day, I think it should be more than 2.5 billion. If not...then it will be between 2.0 and 2.5 billion. Take the middle value, 2.3 billion!"
Fu Ruoqing glanced at Jiao Hongfen, who laughed: "That's it, we all predicted wrong!"
Director Li Jun, who had been silent until now, quickly asked: "How do you say it?"
"It is said that Brother Liang predicts the box office, and adding 1 billion to 1.5 billion will be the final box office. Then how can "Peak" reach 3 billion!"
Shen Liang was a little speechless: "...No, this is September. The audience is waiting for the National Day... How can there be a film with a box office of more than 3 billion in September?"
The highest box office in September was 3.3 billion in 2018!
Forecasting box office should be based on the market and schedule...
In such a schedule, can a work with a box office of more than 3 billion appear?
Is your brain going crazy?
The old man shook his head: "That's not necessarily true... "Life Events" cost 60 million and sold almost 5 billion. You, Shen Liang, have always been good at creating miracles!"
…
For the premiere of "Peak Blast", apart from the crew and creators, not many celebrities were invited...
After all, it’s a disaster movie…
Well, the truth is that people don’t really want to invite celebrities – at this stage of movie premieres, large-scale red carpet premiere events are rarely held!
"Life Events" is a special case.
The premiere of "Peak Explosion" was held at the Party History Museum of China Film International Cinemas. The invitations were basically from some media and a lot of audiences who got tickets through lottery, such as Douban Movie Group, Weibo Movie Group, Douyin Movie Watching Group, Xiaohongshu Movie Watching Group, Zhihu Movie Watching Group…
Jiang Xue is a fan of Shen Liang. She is not a fan. She just follows her occasionally. She got the ticket through the Douyin movie group...
Quite exciting.
Came here at 3pm and lined up.
Well, I didn’t wait in line all the time. I signed in first, and then chatted with the ticket scalper...
I probably know that the price charged by scalpers is 800 yuan, and it is sold for 2,000 yuan!
After all...it's equivalent to Brother Liang's meeting...
Brother Liang has rarely attended commercial events in recent years. Apart from attending more formal award ceremonies, most of the time I can only watch him in the live broadcast room!
But 2,000 yuan...
It’s still quite expensive!
Does anyone buy it?
Well, while she was chatting with the scalper, she saw that the scalper sold three tickets...
The buyers are all little girls, and they don’t have any bargaining skills. They give 2,000 yuan as they say!
I can only say that star chasing girls are really rich!
In addition, it can be seen that China Film Group attaches great importance to "Peak Boom". The walls are full of lightbox advertisements for "Peak Boom"...
Jiang Xue feels that she is quite normal...
She is a Buddhist star chaser, rarely supports offline, and has never bought any peripherals. However, several of Shen Liang's movies have good reputations, and she has bought tickets for them all...
I saw a group of little girls lining up in an orderly manner, holding selfie sticks, small benches, and posters...
I just feel like these little girls are so innocent.
What's the point?
The only interaction you have with your idol is spending money on him!
Then, the elevator door opened, and staff, guests, directors, other actors, hosts, etc. came out one after another...
Jiang Xue felt nothing, and then Shen Liang came out, took off his sunglasses, greeted with a smile, and bowed...
She felt her heartbeat speed up in an instant. Before she had time to think, tears welled up in her eyes. She was so excited...
I couldn't help but shout along with the little sister next to me!
