I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 588 Interlude (44)

The production cost of "Changjin Lake" is indeed quite high...

The war scene itself is a big investment!

Moreover, there is a time limit, so for post-production, we can only spend as much money as possible and find as many special effects companies as possible.

Although it’s not like the ‘12,000 staff members and more than 80 special effects companies’ mentioned in the promotion…

But it's pretty much the same.

Oh, "Peak Explosion" was a big hit, "Changjin Lake" was quite difficult...

I am very worried that my film schedule will be affected.

We can only hope that the movie-watching craze for "Peak" will pass soon...

Otherwise, China Film will definitely not agree to directly cut the film schedule of "Peak" during the National Day schedule...

In the original time and space, after "Peak" opened on the National Day schedule, there was still 10% of the film schedule on the first day, but it was reduced to less than 1% on the second day, which is only a few hundred shows a day...

The main reason is that "Peak" obviously has a weak follow-up - 10% of the films scheduled only contributed 1.2% of the box office share.

This time the protagonist is replaced by Shen Liang...

It immediately became a hit!

The craze for popular items doesn’t dissipate so easily?

"Peak" took in a box office of 1.001 billion in the first weekend. For five consecutive working days, the average box office in a single day was 135 million. In the following four days, the box office was 190 million, 270 million, 230 million, 210 million...

The next weekend coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival...

After 12 days of release, the cumulative box office was 2.486 billion!

It is now September 22nd, and there are only eight days left before the official opening of the National Day schedule.

If it is normal market logic, "Peak Burst" can at least earn more than 1 billion!

This is not good news for "Changjin Lake".

However, Shen Liang doesn't care - no one knows the box office prospects of "Changjin Lake" better than him.

…

"Miracle" continues filming...

During today's filming team formation session, Liang Yongcheng, played by Tian Yu, helped introduce the employees: "This is an Internet cafe. A large number of people here are Internet cafe masters. They eat, drink, and sleep in the Internet cafe! These people just want to play games and goof off. They don't want to work to earn a living…"

“Then where do they get the money to go online?”

"Most of them go to Sanhe to work for one day and get one day's salary...work for one day and play for three days! As you know over Sanhe, they can get more than 100 yuan for one day's work, which is enough for them to play comfortably. Three days…”

"Why don't they go back to their hometown?"

“If you don’t have an ID card, let me tell you, those who can be called great people basically sell all their ID cards when they come here. I heard that some people use their ID cards to apply for bank cards, and then put the bank card and ID card together. When sold, the buyers are often telecom fraud gangs, but they don’t care because they make a lot of money and can often earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars!”

Jing Hao, played by Shen Liang, was stunned for a while, and then pointed at Wang Ning who was making instant noodles at the counter: "Where is he? Why do you want to work?"

"His name is Liu Hengzhi. He's in love with a local girl and she doesn't dislike him, so he wants to find a serious job first!"

Then Wang Ning came over and said, "My name is Liu Hengzhi. My biggest advantage is that I can endure hardships. I set the record of continuous accommodation in this Internet cafe for 16 weeks!"

Shen Liang's expression was a bit astonished...

"By the way, is our factory still short of people? I convinced my best buddy to work with me!"

"Okay, where is it?"

Wang Ning turned to a group of people surfing the Internet and shouted: "Zhang Chao! Zhang Chao!"

No one paid attention to him, so he changed his name: "The boy who chases the wind!"

Then Xu Juncong, who had yellow hair and a greasy face, stood up... and made a good brother gesture to him in his heart.

"Ka...we'll protect one!"

"Old Xu, the cigarette you are holding is replaced by Double Happiness..."

Wen Mino immediately asked: "How to say?"

"I watched Shanhe's documentary, and what the masters here smoke is basically Double Happiness sold in bulk for 50 cents..."

"Documentary? What documentary?"

""Sanwa Talent Market: Young People in China Making 1,500 Yen a Day"...a documentary by NHK TV station, you can find it on Station B!"

"...What's the gain?"

"It's nothing... After all, this has nothing to do with our "Miracle"..."

"Tell me about it, maybe it will inspire you!"

"In Sanhe, there is a particularly popular word called hanging on the wall..."

"What is a wall hanging?"

"What I understand is that cheap living materials, wall-mounted water and wall-mounted rice are indispensable things to support their lives. A 2-liter bottle of clear blue mineral water that costs 2 yuan is standard for every brother. The cheapest wall-hanging rice is only 3 yuan, and the more expensive ones are no more than 10 yuan... They are all called Sanhe Master!"

Wen Muye nodded, then paused filming, and called the screenwriter Zhong Wei. The two communicated for a long time through the phone. Wen Muye came back: "Well, let's pause for a while. Zhong Wei and I will go to Sanhe to learn more about it. learn…"

When several people heard this, they looked at each other, and Shen Liang interrupted: "It's not necessary... our script is quite realistic..."

"Not enough...I have to understand what Shan and the Great God think!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "You don't need to go out of your way to understand. People don't steal, rob, or take drugs. They work for a living, exchange labor for rewards, and eat and play games after taking money. This means that some foreign youths who are not outstanding can be considered as one." Ordinary citizens, let’s not disturb them!”

"You have hands and feet, why do you have to give up on yourself so much?"

"You can't say that they gave up on themselves just because they didn't become house slaves... People have their own choices... If they don't steal, don't rob, don't do bad things, who will they offend by lying there?"

Wen Muye was silent for a while, and then asked: "...You say that, as if you are denying your efforts?"

"Haha, our movie Jing Hao worked hard and was lucky enough to win an order for two years. How much is the total price? 5 million! Do you know the annual increase in housing prices in Shenzhen? It's not that easy to cross classes!"

Wen Muye fell silent, and Shen Liang smiled: "Keep filming!"

"No, if I didn't know, it would be okay to shoot like this, but now that I know, I definitely can't let it go!"

"Then you can make a film specifically about the master Sanhe. "Miracle" won't work..." Shen Liang shook his head: "You have to understand clearly that our movie is about entrepreneurship and what we want is to inspire people!"

"...I'll talk to Zhong Wei."

…

Shen Liang can only make some modifications in the details...

In terms of plot, he will not adjust, nor is he willing to adjust...

The filming ends in about a month. Do you want to change the script at this time?

Don't even think about it.

However, after that day, Wen Mino often chatted with him...

Talk about what he cares about, his next work, etc...

For example, Fumino wanted to make a story about overseas Chinese opening a restaurant in a war-torn place.

"Schindler's List + Wolf Warriors?"

"…What's the meaning?"

Shen Liang poured him a cup of tea: "Rescue civilians during war! Otherwise, what would be the main plot of a movie like this?"
