I didn't want to be an actor

Oh, I almost forgot, there are also a bunch of celebrity endorsements...

I’ve invited so many people to watch the movie, I’m sure you guys will brag about it!

After the premiere, many invited celebrities talked about their feelings...

Something like, "After watching a movie like this, I feel that the language is very pale and weak." This is great history and a great war. I was very touched when I saw the subtitles at the end. There is no such a large crew in the world. I am deeply proud of Chinese filmmakers! ’

‘Our seniors, every character in the movie is a hero, and the creators of this movie are also heroes in the film industry. ’

Finally, Yu Dong made a concluding speech: "I think what Brother Jing and Brother Liang said is very good. We made this movie with awe. This movie was made for the greatest spirit of the Chinese people. ”

Amid applause, a group of people left the stage...

After the premiere, we returned to the hotel…

It will be officially released tomorrow. Shen Liang will go to Shanghai with the crew and there will also be a press conference...

Yu Dong suddenly remembered something: "Where has "Shu Mountain" reached?"

Shen Liang replied: "The script is almost ready, the special effects are still being planned..."

"What about casting?"

"Currently, Sammo Hung, Huo Jianhua, Zhang Zhiyao, Na Zha, Rouba and I have been cast...I will play the villain Blood God Son...but there are still a few new generation actors..."

"When are you going to turn it on?"

"Next April...when the spring flowers bloom."

"...When will it be released?"

Shen Liang scratched his head: "It's hard to say, it won't be until the summer of the year after next at the earliest!"

"Not going to the Spring Festival stall?"

"Not good... The first part of "Shu Mountain" is quite profound... not suitable for the Spring Festival atmosphere."

"...We at Bona have many projects in reserve, such as "The Decisive Battle at Shangganling", "Searching for Hainan Island", "The Battle of Songmaoling"..."

Before Dong Bian could finish speaking, Shen Liang shook his head: "Mr. Yu, I have no schedule for the time being!"

Yu Dong added: "...Do you want to be a director? If you become a director..."

"I have no idea of ​​becoming a director for the time being... Mr. Yu, it's been a tiring day. I'm going back to my room to rest~"

…

If Shen Liang wanted to be a director, investors would often give him money.

Bona... forget it!

In the past few years, Bona has made a lot of money by relying on the Hong Kong scene and the main theme...

Then, both types gradually declined!

In 2023, the mainland box office of "Hot Point" starring William Chan and Nick Cheung did not exceed 100 million. In 2024, the cumulative box office of "Customs Front" starring Nicholas Tse in the summer release was only 126 million. It is difficult for so-called new Hong Kong-style action movies to attract audiences...

The main reason is that the audience has their own considerations and is no longer mindless like before...

Just keep the action movies pure and don't add so many crotch-stretching dramas!

"Kowloon Walled City" is very good. It doesn't claim to be a great movie at all. It's a pure action movie.

A "dark city" filled with a wild atmosphere, a lack of order, and strict laws of the jungle. The high-burning and passionate plot unfolding in this complex environment returns to the violent aesthetics of early Hong Kong-style action movies.

As for the main theme…

With dozens of movies of almost the same type being released, audiences have established their own aesthetic standards...

If your photography sucks, we won’t buy it!

And Bona relies heavily on the main themes shot by Hong Kong directors - famous Hong Kong directors have contributed a lot to the creation of main theme blockbusters in the past, but today's audiences are increasingly unwilling to buy it.

Just stay away...

…

There is no doubt that "Changjin Lake" is a hit...

On September 30, the box office on the first day was 340 million, and then the box office exceeded 400 million for seven consecutive days, including more than 500 million on three days!

As of October 8, "Changjin Lake" has been in theaters for 9 days and has earned more than 4 billion in box office...

Various box office records have been broken...

The quality of the film is the fundamental reason for its box office success. Although it has obvious flaws, "Changjin Lake" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Chinese war movies - excluding the "Armageddon" series, this one is incomparable.

In addition, no matter from director, screenwriter, actor, or investment and production, it is the pinnacle of Chinese-language war-themed movies.

The most important thing is that the audience is willing to spend money, and in terms of national sentiment, they are also willing to contribute box office to such a domestic drama that remembers history and heroes.

I’m not short of money and I’m willing to spend it.

Shen Liang did not promote with the team. On October 2, he returned to Shenzhen to continue filming "Miracle"...

However, "Changjin Lake" has always been promoted.

During the live broadcast, he did not respond to negative reviews, but said: "Actually, the meaning of shooting this movie is not to pursue deep meaning or other purposes. Its purpose is very simple and pure, which is to let us understand that period of history. Understand our ancestors and understand this hard-won happiness.

Just take the heated discussion on various platforms about the Battle of Changjin Lake and the War to Resist U.S. Aid Korea since the movie was released...

The value of this movie has been demonstrated enough!

Isn't this the real value this movie brings us?

I would like to ask which movie, which documentary, which art form has played such a role? Can the whole people talk about it and think about war, our nation and our country? "

"The value of a movie should be reflected in the impact and reconstruction of people's souls, rather than just superficial judgment based on superficial things!"

“Yes, I know there are many excellent war movies abroad, but what can these movies bring to you? Apart from the intense and exciting battle scenes and some touching scenes, there is nothing else... "Changjin Lake" is different..."

“If it is just because of the main theme, then "My Fathers and I" is not the main theme?”

“I am not a person who likes to preach. I have also been in the forum. I also know what the environment was like back then. In the forum, "Good people will have a peaceful life", followed by "America in the next life", there was a Yuan, a big V with millions of fans, saying things like fireplace roast duck and barbecue, and fans applauded... These people did not die, they just hid..."

“The filming of "Changjin Lake" is still meaningful..."

“I am also one of the producers... Yes, I invested 200 million, accounting for 2 0% share..."

"I didn't ask for a salary...I just wanted to increase my voice. You all know what my biggest concern is about "Changjin Lake"...I didn't see hatred in "King Kong River"...This is wrong. There can't be no hatred in war."

"Little master of poetry...You don't need to type it out, just know it!"

"...30 billion actor? Who?"

"Me? I'm worth 30 billion?"

"30 billion box office...Damn!"

"30 billion...It's already available after "Changjin Lake" is off the screen...You really are, I still have to say: Movies are not made by one person, but by thousands of behind-the-scenes workers. I am fortunate to be an entertainer in it, which is already a very happy thing, don't publicize it! In addition, I am the second male lead in "Changjin Lake", and Brother Jing is the first male lead!"
