I didn't want to be an actor

In the past, when promoting a movie, you would definitely have to go on a variety show...

Of course, it depends on the cast lineup. In "Smoking Smoking But Not Drinking", Zhu Shimao blasted "Basecamp" for not letting him promote...

Because the other party disliked the ‘lineup not being big enough’.

If Shen Liang goes on a variety show now, he doesn't have to think about these things. Only variety shows can cooperate with him, and there is no reason for him to cooperate with others!

The first person in domestic entertainment is no joke.

but…

There are not many variety shows worth mentioning at this stage. "Hello, Saturday"...has far less attention than "Happy Camp".

After thinking for a while, Shen Liang said: "I'll contact Mao Buyi and check out "Mao Xuewang"...and take some interviews by the way..."

"Okay," Chen Jiadong nodded, and then asked: ""Running Man" sent us an invitation, do you want to go and see it?"

"...Does anyone still watch "Running Man" now?"

"The ratings are pretty good," Chen Jiadong paused and added, "Bai Lu is now a regular guest!"

Shen Liang shook his head: "...Then I won't go either. The script is too obvious and boring."

"Too…"

"Do you have any other arrangements? If not, I'll take a nap..."

"You go to sleep first, and I'll call you when you get there!"

…

Movie Market...The only blockbuster film "Avatar: Water Path" is released!

Along with the release, the Weibo topic "#cinema calls Avatar 2 a life-saving film" continues to be hot.

The box office on the first day exceeded 100 million, which is also in line with expectations of boosting the film market as a "life-saving film".

As of 8 p.m. on December 18, the box office of "Avatar 2" during its first weekend in the Mainland had totaled 396 million yuan, with 6.76 million moviegoers and an average ticket price of 59 yuan.

This result is not good, even very bad...

"Avatar 2"'s pre-screening media box office forecast is between 2.2 billion and 3.3 billion yuan. It is expected to break the box office record of imported films in the past three years, and even hit the runner-up in the box office of imported films in history, second only to "Avengers 4: Endgame" .

Industry predictions indicate that the box office of "Avatar 2" is expected to hit 3 billion yuan.

Then, on December 17, Maoyan Professional lowered the predicted box office of "Avatar 2" to 1.5 billion...

However, Shen Liang knew that the final box office results of "Avatar 2" were over 1.6 billion in the mainland and over 2 billion US dollars globally...

"Avatar 2" can exceed 2 billion, which is really awesome!

Sanctions on Russia have led to the loss of the Russian market, rising anti-American sentiment in China, declining consumption due to the global economic recession, and iMax is no longer a new technology.

In terms of box office composition, the North American market (United States + Canada) accounts for 31.7%, and the overseas market accounts for 68.3%.

This is also the first rescue blockbuster since the COVID-19 pandemic with a total box office of more than 2 billion US dollars - "Spider-Man: Spider-Man" has a global box office of 1.864 billion US dollars.

Declared to the world of cinema the temporary unshakable dominance of Hollywood.

It reflects that the North American film industry has basically recovered from the impact of COVID-19, and the production and distribution processes have gradually returned to the situation before 2019 and are on the right track.

After all, the production cost of 600 million U.S. dollars + publicity and distribution costs - the production cost of 390 million U.S. dollars + the publicity and distribution and operation costs of at least 200 million U.S. dollars, is a scale that other countries' movies simply dare not imagine.

This can sell for more than 2 billion US dollars. It can only be said that Hollywood is too powerful.

Oh, let’s talk about the movie market…

"Avatar 2" still brought some big hits, including "Puss in Boots 2", "Desperate Househusbands" and "Annual Party!" Can't stop! 》Announcing the final release...

Both the publisher and the producer have suggested that "Annual Meeting" should be released during the Spring Festival...

Shen Liang refused!

On the one hand, "Annual Party Can't Stop" is not a family-friendly theme. If you want to get high box office, you must increase your marketing efforts. The admission fee is 150 million, and with a marketing investment of at least 100 million, the cost recovery will be at least 15 100 million!

"The Wandering Earth 2" and "Man Jiang Hong" are already the priority choices of many viewers. "Annual Meeting"... has a high probability of failure;

Secondly, "Annual Meeting" is really suitable for New Year's Eve...

The most important thing is that Shen Liang has already laid the groundwork - he mentioned countless times during the live broadcast that "Annual Meeting" will be released on the Christmas schedule...

You suddenly pulled the show and then announced the Spring Festival release?

The possibility of failure is too great!

As for the box office expectations, Shen Liang really thinks it will be almost over 1 billion.

After all, it's really cool.

…

The company is located in Chaowai SOHO, Chaoyang District.

There are about 20 employees-the screenwriting team does not belong to the company, but only signed a cooperation agreement.

These twenty people are mainly responsible for public relations work, as well as arranging Shen Liang's schedule and work...

Brother Liang arrived at the company and apologized to all the staff first - during the live broadcast yesterday, Wen Yongshan appeared and became a hot search.

There must be a scandal going around.

It's late at night, a man and a woman are in a hotel, the woman is a wife, the man has the label of a romantic...

Even though Shen Liang later said "They are all waiting for me" during the live broadcast, indicating that they were not meeting alone, scandals were inevitable.

This thing affects your reputation very much!

Then the team worked overtime, removed the hot search, and compiled a statement, which roughly said, 'The two are good friends and do not have any interactions other than friendship... We have hired a lawyer to collect evidence on the malicious rumor content and pursue the relevant infringing parties. Legal liability. "

Official denial...

After such a set of procedures, regardless of the money spent, the critical response speed is indeed very fast!

"It's causing trouble for everyone!"

"...It's all a trivial matter..."

"Okay, everyone, go to work, this year's year-end bonus will be doubled..."

"Thank you boss!"

Shen Liang came to the company mainly to check the accounts and do a bottom-up at the end of the year - to know how much money he has!

Chen Jiadonghui reported: "The accounts of "Water Gate Bridge" and "New Travel Notes" have been recorded, and we have invested separately..."

"No need to look at the investment, just tell me the total number..."

"Almost 463 million..."

Shen Liang nodded: "My calculations are pretty much the same...Have you received the split of "Keep You Safe" yet?"

"How can it be so fast? At least half a year!"

"Then you probably know the data, right?"

Chen Jiadong nodded: "The box office dividend of "Keep You Safe" is 703 million. After deducting costs, the profit is more than 600 million... We accounted for 40%, and the pure mainland box office dividend is 150 million..."

"What about overseas copyrights, new media copyrights and television rights?"

"The total is almost 100 million, we can divide 40 million..."

Shen Liang nodded, and then said: "Take out 50 million to reward the creators..."

"…Is it too much?"

"If people help us make money, we should reward them..." Shen Liang waved his hand and said by the way: "Take another 20% of the total profit and donate it..."

"Donate it?"

"Return to the audience..."

“Is 20% too much?”

"The money you earn...besides, if you don't donate the money, why don't you just leave it in the bank and eat dust?"

Chen Jiadong did not refute, but asked: "Then should we set up a charity foundation?"

"That's a lot of things..."

"But you feel free to donate the money to our charity?"

Shen Liang shook his head, and then said: "Put it away first and see where the money is needed. Then we can donate it or exchange it for supplies..."

"Okay, actually I also think it would be better to switch to supplies..."

"How about the repayment from investment in TV series?"

"...Buy on the basic platform and get your money back directly..." Chen Jiadong continued: "Youku's price is very generous, "Little Nanfeng" is priced at 150 million!"

“What about other platforms?”

"...They have doubts about Yang Mi's appeal..."
