I didn't want to be an actor

Chen Jiadong's change of mentality is understandable, Shen Liang is too awesome.

So far, every work of Shen Liang has been a hit!

Last year, Shen Liang Studio's revenue exceeded 800 million (after-tax revenue), "New Journey", personal studio invested 30%, and the revenue from the distribution exceeded 400 million!

This report card is the best in the domestic entertainment industry!

Not to mention that it is now a cold winter for film and television, even if hot money is madly pouring into the entertainment industry, in an era of raging fire and oil, a large film and television listed company will not make more than 1 billion in profits a year!

Huayi Brothers' best situation - in 2015, the financial report showed a net profit of 981 million...

It can be said that the revenue of Shen Liang Studio is comparable to most so-called media giants.

In those years, a large amount of hot money poured into the entertainment industry, film and television companies were eager to go public, and the pay of stars jumped more fiercely than the house price. The myth that someone raised tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan just by PPT was repeatedly circulated in the industry.

Relevant data shows that in 2015 alone, there were 196 mergers and acquisitions of cultural media companies, involving a capital of about 89.383 billion yuan. This means that a merger and acquisition of a cultural media company will occur in less than 2 days.

Unfortunately, it is now a cold winter period for film and television!

Not to mention capital, even the platform will not give a high price...

Last year, this year, and the year before last, there were only a handful of film projects that could make money, but every one of Shen Liang's films was a hit!

As the head of the studio, it is normal for Chen Jiadong's mentality to change.

The key is that he has been with Shen Liang for a long time, and he doesn't think much of the so-called big directors.

Chen Jiadong used to like Jia Zhangke very much, but after getting to know Shen Liang and being influenced by him, he really thinks Jia Zhangke is "old"...

This old is not about age, but creative thinking.

Jia Zhangke's creations always have a fixed theme: the concern for the old-era national individuals who are abandoned by the rapid changes in contemporary China and cannot be integrated into the new era, and the accusation of the phenomenon of "focusing on the macro and constantly promoting social change, but ignoring the interests and survival of the micro individuals in society".

This proposition may have been concerned by some people a few years ago, but now... no one is interested!

The general environment is the confrontation between China and the United States. The whole world is choosing sides, either on the table or on the menu.

In such an environment, who would care about these?

Even European film festivals don't care!

Many people commented on Jia Zhangke's movies: When I was young, I watched Jia Zhangke, wow! He looked so awesome, and if I didn't watch Jia Zhangke, I couldn't be considered a literary youth...

Watching Jia Zhangke now, it's terrible! It's always the same tune, so annoying...

Always speechless about the times, always out of place with development, always nostalgic and reminiscing, always praising tragedy, always holding up humanity and sighing without thinking.

He doesn't know anything else!

Old directors are still trying new themes and new styles to break through.

On the contrary, the directors such as Jia Zhangke, Wang Xiaoshuai and Lou Ye are holding on to the outdated so-called "New Wave" auteur films, and they are endless.

Don't talk about conscientious and intellectual directors!

Intellectuals are not knowledgeable people. They are perfunctory and rehashing old things. Do you expect them to accurately reflect reality with their works? That's too much of a stretch!

"The Romantic Generation" has a smell of a steamer that has not been cleaned and used repeatedly!

After so many years and so many films, Jia, who has been regarded as the spokesperson of Fenyang in reality, has long been successful and separated from the masses, but he still insists on moaning about the sea of ​​life and wandering...

Is it interesting?

Shooting idiots in the country and taking a plane to earn money, this methodology has been tried and tested!

Those who are successful in speculation will continue to speculate.

Shen Liang is more used to working with new directors. New directors are very adaptable and changeable and can easily win the audience, while old directors prefer a big scene, a big theme, and are more fascinated by a bigger setting.

That is, form is more important than content!

Chen Jiadong’s attitude towards Zhang Yimou cannot be said to be disrespectful, but before "Man Jiang Hong", he was indeed not considered a popular director...

In Chen Jiadong’s view, Zhang Yimou can only be regarded as an old-fashioned director with some achievements in the past, and Shen Liang is a superstar!

Being able to direct Shen Liang’s play is considered to be Director Zhang’s climbing up!

However, Shen Liang asked him not to meet Zhang Yimou first, and they would go together in a few days...

This way, it would be more sincere!

…

These days, the Hundred Flowers Awards held an award ceremony...

Shen Liang did not go!

The 35th Hundred Flowers Awards awarded the Best Actor to Huang Xiaoming of "Heroes of Fire"...

Shen Liang was speechless about the Hundred Flowers Awards!

This year is the 36th, and Shen Liang was nominated for Best Actor - "Life Events" was nominated for Best Actor.

The nominees include Liu Ye (The Island Guardian), Shen Teng (My Fathers and Me), Wu Jing (The Battle at Lake Changjin), and Zhang Yi (On the Cliff).

If nothing unexpected happens, this award will go to Zhang Yi!

Shen Liang has won the Golden Rooster Award for consecutive years. If he is awarded the Hundred Flowers Award, what will happen to the others?

It is highly likely that they will not win the award...

In fact, the Hundred Flowers Award was very valuable at the beginning, but the domestic film industry declined in the 1990s, and the Hundred Flowers Award could not collect votes. It was not as good as the Golden Eagle Award next door.

The Golden Rooster Award...is embarrassing. Its selection criteria are whoever the Hundred Flowers Award chooses, the Golden Rooster Award will not choose.

Later, the major film studios divided the meat, and they were keen on keeping a balance.

Later, the major film companies (capital) divided the meat. Now it is held once a year, and it is still very watery!

It’s really good, look at the supporting actor and supporting actress nominations, Zhou Ye’s “Chinese Doctor”, Liu Haoran’s “1921”…

Both of these are mediocre movies that hit the street, but they actually got nominations?

Therefore, Shen Liang simply went to Qingdao Film and Television City.

By the way, "Mozart" had a box office of 107 million in its first week of release. Not only has it not done "New Travels" (it received 198 million in the fourth weekend of release, and the cumulative box office was 3.28 billion in 24 days of release), but it has not even done "Detective" "War", the latter reported 140 million in the next weekend, with a cumulative box office of 374 million...

At the same time, "Walking on the Moon" was announced to be released on July 29...

"Tomorrow's War" announced to be released on August 5;

"Assassination Novelist" is officially scheduled to be released on August 12th!

It’s pretty good, there’s a blockbuster movie coming out every other week.

…

In Qingdao Film and Television City, Shen Liang saw Guo Fan and was immediately surprised: "Why have you lost so much weight?"

"...There is no way, a large crew of several thousand people..." Guo Fan shook his head, and then handed Shen Liang a cup of coffee: "Drink coffee?"

Shen Liang took the coffee, took a sip, and smacked his lips: "It's so bitter...you should drink less of this stuff, I'm really afraid you'll die one day!"

"Not that..."

"You should drink more water, eat some nuts if you have nothing to do, and walk five kilometers every day..."

"I am only 42 years old this year..."

"I feel that your condition is not as good as that of 72-year-old Zhang Yimou!"

Guo Fan shook his head: "Zhang Yimou had his brain photographed by aliens. He is different from the rest of us!"

"…ah?"

"Don't you know?"

"…gab!"

"If you don't believe it, ask them!"

Gong Geer, Wu Jing, and Sha Yi came over, happened to hear this, and immediately said: "It's true. We have read his autobiography. Zhang Yimou has seen a flying saucer. He is full of energy. He may be an alien whose brain has passed through Consequences of Scanning "...witnesses regarding the flying saucer include Chen Liguo, the producer of "The Grand Parade", Wang Jichao, the photographer, and four or five people from the camera crew..."
