I didn't want to be an actor

The Chinese music scene now basically relies on OST to make a name for itself...

The first OST brother must be Zhou Shen, and no one would object if the first OST sister said it was Zhang Bichen.

It is said that the producer of a certain drama asked a master to figure it out before looking for someone to sing the OST. The master said that as long as Zhang Bichen sings the OST, the project will definitely become a hit!

Unexpectedly, that drama became really popular, and the master’s words spread more and more widely. Now the industry believes this, as long as you find Zhang Bichen to sing the OST, you can create a hit drama.

Because of what the master said, Zhang Bichen’s price for singing OSTs is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more projects looking for her. Zhang Bichen’s team also intends to maintain this metaphysical character. They will personally read the script and the team, and there is nothing explosive. She doesn't accept any dramas.

"The Story of An Le" approached Zhang Bichen, but she didn't take the call...

It reinforces the stereotype!

Chen Sicheng decided to ask Zhang Bichen to sing "Cage"...

Shen Liang had no objection. After talking about music, Chen Sicheng thought of something: "When will "Shu Mountain" be released?"

"Probably late July... Where's "Her Disappearance"?"

"Mid-June...leave half a month for "The Octagon"..."

"Okay, I get it."

Shen Liang looked at Wang Baoqiang and suddenly asked, "Brother Baoqiang, is there anything going on next year?"

"...Look for me if you have a project?"

"Well, I have fallen in love with a novel called "Escape from the Golden Triangle". There is a big boss in it and I want you to play the role!"

"Movie or TV show?"

"The TV series... I have found a director named Xinshuang, and he is adapting the script..."

"When was it taken?"

"I guess September..."

Wang Baoqiang thought about it: "Okay, I have time..."

Chen Sicheng was a little envious and interjected: "You don't even read the script?"

Wang Baoqiang quipped: "Will a script that is favored by Shen Liang be bad?"

"...That's true." Before Shen Liang could speak, Chen Sicheng answered: "Brother Liang is the quality guarantee, and none of his projects has a score lower than 7!"

"No, good luck, good luck..."

"Don't be so modest. Who doesn't know that the movie starring Shen Liang is worth at least one billion!"

"That's right, I see they do things like box office popularity statistics, actor charm lists, etc., and they have to exclude you first..."

"...Haha, drink, drink!"

…

This is a fact. Many self-media will discuss the topic of actors carrying the box office, that is, the topic of box office appeal.

In fact, actors carrying the box office refers to leading actors who are representative in a certain type of film field, rather than being generalized to a conversion rate formula between fame, traffic and box office.

For example, in the past, it was said that Hong Kong movies had a double-digit success rate. Zhou Yunfa's contemporary heroes, Zhou Xingchi's comedies, and Jackie Chan's kung fu comedies were all based on the genre films that they were good at. They were creative and then deeply cultivated and brought box office appeal.

By the way, Jackie Chan was very popular back then...

Whether it is a Republican drama or a fashion film, they are all very popular. Even the literary film "Miracle" sold 34.04 million, ranking second in the 1989 annual box office list.

After Jackie Chan became popular, Luo Wei could make a lot of money by casually editing his previous films such as "Fist of the Dragon", "Fighter" and "Shaolin Alley".

Of course, that’s not possible now…

On the one hand, the advantage of being deeply involved in genre films is that you will know what genre the film is based on who is starring in it. The audience's expectations are screened first, which will naturally not only have the effect of gathering box office, but also make the subsequent word-of-mouth fermentation in a more consistent direction.

In addition, because you are deeply involved in a certain field, you will have more experience in scripts, the level of the directing team, and your own understanding and performance, which is equivalent to helping the audience check in advance, which has the effect of ensuring quality.

Most actors at this stage are unable to do such in-depth typing!

There is one part for heaven, one for earth, one for gods, and one part for ghosts. Naturally, this cannot be said to hold the box office...

In the current domestic film market, except for leading actors with genre characteristics like Shen Teng and Wu Jing, most others cannot be counted in the logic of actors carrying the box office.

But this thing is ineffective on Shen Liang...

Because Shen Liang has tried various types...

Except for horror movies, he has never acted before, but he has tried all other genres!

Romance films, drama films, action films, and even "Sunshine", which is more of a literary film, all sold 1.78 billion.

Therefore, Shen Liang has always believed that the key to success at the box office lies in the quality of the film, not the stars.

But the bigger the cast, the higher the expectations the movie can bring.

This is a mutual influence and interaction relationship.

Obviously, marketing accounts cannot calculate like this. Since a marketing release is issued, it must be to praise someone. To be honest, fans cannot accept it.

Generally, after the traffic comes out, they will star in a youth romance film, and then it can basically sell 200 to 300 million yuan. Of course, there are also bad ones. For example, "Welcome to Me", the box office did not reach 50 million...

…

"The market still needs commercial films now..."

"Yes, a commercial film that can arouse the audience's emotions does not necessarily have to be expensive..."

"Don't use pure traffic, and don't create illusory art just to gain fame and reputation. It's meaningless. Let's get the audience into the cinema first!"

After a few glasses of wine, Chen Sicheng talked about his creative ideas...

Shen Liang was responsible for making jokes. After chatting for more than an hour, several people were ready to leave.

"I'll go back and live broadcast, what about you?"

“…You live stream every day, how can there be so many topics?”

“Not every day,” Shen Liang waved his hand: “I basically live stream three times a week!”

“Three times a week is also a high frequency!”

“I’m used to it, and I don’t have any hobbies…”

Chen Sicheng remembered something: “Do you get a commission every time you sell goods?”

“No…” Shen Liang: “I sell things that I endorse…I’m not a professional live streamer, I only sell three times a month at most…Besides, they paid me for the endorsement!”

“Then what are the rules for selling goods online?”

“…I don’t know…I’ve said I’m not a professional live streamer…”

Chen Sicheng: “Then you go back first…Rou Ba and Xiao Wen, you two should go back too?”

Wen Yongshan glanced at Rou Ba, and then said: “Well, we drank a little too much…”

Chen Sicheng added: “Then you two should go back too…Don’t bother Shen Liang…”

“What did you say?”

"It's okay... Baoqiang and I will go sing!"

After saying goodbye, several people got in the car. Shen Liang also returned to the hotel room. He opened the door and was changing shoes when there was a knock on the door. Rouba and Wen Yongshan held a bottle of red wine in their hands: "I didn't drink enough just now, let's continue!"

Shen Liang welcomed them in and said: "... You two sit down first, I really want to broadcast live."

Wen Yongshan changed into slippers and replied casually: "Then let's go together?"

"You drank too much? Let's go together... There are more than 30 million brothers in my live broadcast room, you try..."

Rouba helped and said: "Let him work first, at most an hour... Let's drink first!"

"Okay!"

Shen Liang watched them change their shoes, then went into the bedroom. When they came out, they changed into a new outfit. They were the same short skirt, but they were different from ordinary short skirts. They highlighted the transparency, the charming lace, and the pattern design highlighted the wildness...

Immediately, the fighting spirit was high!

Brother Liang sighed and said, "Just be tired for now. No one can suffer, but not your brothers!"
