I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 819: 2.1 billion on the first day

Rouba, Nazha, and Wen Yongshan all chatted for a while, and then Chen Sicheng talked about market changes: "We are making movies now, and we have to change!

Because of the decline in the entire macro economy, people have no money, and the smallest impact means a reduction in the frequency of movie viewing.

In the past, an ordinary person might watch five or eight movies a year, but now he might watch only one or two, so why watching this movie has become crucial!

In the past, after the audience watched some bad movies, they would come out and scold them and then pass.

Not now. Nowadays, everyone’s enthusiasm for consumption is very low, and their tolerance for bad movies is also very low.

So I think word-of-mouth may be the most important thing in the future, and "tap water" may be the only way to bring audiences into the theater. The era of purely relying on publicity to draw audiences into movie theaters may have passed. Good movies in the future will depend on "tap water" to be passed from person to person. After all, now is not the time for blind consumption. "

"Brother Liang, do you agree with this view?"

"Of course!" Shen Liang nodded: "In fact, I can analyze the reason: after an industry becomes a blood inheritance system, its decline is doomed! There are too many second generations in our industry, and the core resources of the industry are regarded as When inheritance is passed down by bloodline + small circle, ordinary people naturally have no chance of getting ahead.

However, the second generation of artists who inherited the resources from their fathers did not have the talent to take over the resources at all, and the pain period appeared. The price of this painful period may be that some viewers will no longer have the habit of going to movie theaters. "

Shen Liang then added: "I will always remember a sentence, which was said by Hiroshi Yamauchi, the founder of Nintendo, that games are not necessities of life. If they are not interesting, no one will even give them away! All products in the entertainment industry are the same The truth is, if the movie is not interesting enough, no one will watch it if we don’t charge money!”

…

Many people in the industry say that movies are not selling well, but marketing companies are doing better and better every year!

Everyone invests money in marketing.

Then it became "The film side hopes that the marketing company will defraud the financiers, the financiers hope that the marketing company will deceive the audience into paying, and the marketing company will backhand defraud the financiers and the film side, thinking that the audience's money is all up to them, but the audience will not accept it." This is what they have done”…

Of course, "Her Disappearance" is pretty good...

This movie is very Chen Sicheng, with jokes + social issues + suspense shell.

It is not a strong suspense film, and it does not try to conquer the audience with dazzling skills. It is entirely for the audience's viewing experience, and to achieve this requires strong psychological insight and technical operation capabilities.

The audience felt comfortable following the plot throughout the whole process without being confused at all, and the suspense was maintained at the right level of "ready to come out" and "sudden realization" alternately.

Of course, this movie is unlikely to get high marks!

Chen Sicheng is too vulgar!

I am worried that the audience will not understand or understand, flashback after flashback, all the ins and outs must be clearly shown to the audience, even the childhood friendship of the girls, for fear that the audience will use their brains a little more, or diverge some thoughts, or even It doesn’t hesitate to ruin the narrative rhythm of the movie.

——The main character is afraid that the audience will not understand it. Although it has already hinted a lot, it still needs to be explained again in the camera!

Because if the audience thinks about it for a moment, they will find that there is something wrong with it, the logic is full of holes, and everything is built on fragile gravel.

The most typical one: the beginning is about not being able to find a photo of his wife, but at the end, when the heroine arrives at the door of the police station, she sees a huge missing person notice!

It collects some eye-catching social cases, mixed with anti-marriage, anti-childbirth, and gender opposition, and finally uses girls help girls to sublimate the theme, making it extremely easy to understand.

As for Van Gogh and Starry Sky, it actually better illustrates the background of Chen Sicheng's films. He knows how to make the audience feel good about themselves. It's like reading "Storytelling" while caressing "In Search of Lost Time".

Pretending to be profound expressions, mixed with the boss's narrative, using an invisible tension to attract ordinary audiences...

In fact, sometimes I think about it, this may be the development direction of movies in the short video era: it is enough for the rhythm and reversal to make people feel happy!

…

"Why am I a scumbag...I'm not...don't scold me after watching the movie..."

In the first scene of the road show, Shen Liang faced a crowd of viewers and said: "Everyone should pay attention to distinguishing between characters and reality... I am a good person. My name is Shen Liang, not He Fei!"

Chen Sicheng chuckled: "Are you giving in?"

"I must give in. I didn't expect my performance to be so hateful..."

"Then...Brother Liang, how did you grasp the role of He Fei?"

"...Find the character, emotional logic line of the character... Let me tell you first, what I am talking about is He Fei," Shen Liang explained: "He is a gambling dog. There is an up at Station B called Jieshe, and his live broadcast content is to receive Betting on dogs' contributions and listening to their stories.

One of the most explosive stories is this:

A gambling dog owed 80,000 yuan on the Internet and was unable to repay it. He originally did not dare to tell his family because he was afraid that his parents would blame him. But at this time, his mother fell ill and his father went to take care of her and had no time to take care of him. Later, His mother passed away soon, leaving him an insurance money of 100,000 yuan.

This is what this betting dog wrote:

"With no one in charge, I borrowed more and more. I probably borrowed more than 80,000 yuan, and I couldn't pay it back on my own. But coincidentally, my mother passed away at the end of the year, and the insurance money was 100,000 yuan."

"But it happened that my mother died and I received 100,000 yuan."

"When I played He Fei, I referred to this gambler. So, when He Fei first met Li Muzi, he saved her in the diving hall. Now, he can pretend that nothing happened, trick her into the sea, and kill her..."

"So, how did you feel when you were acting?"

"It was quite enjoyable," Shen Liang smiled: "I always think that actors should not try to protect the role. Protecting the role is actually to protect themselves from the heart... It's interesting to take on more villains! Don't make up for him..."

Chen Sicheng: "In "Shushan" and "All or Nothing", you played villains?"

"Yes..."

"I want to ask Rouba..."

...

Running all day, and then heading directly to the airport...

There was no time to go back to the hotel!

The next day was the road show in Shanghai.

In the car, Chen Sicheng asked, "How much is the box office?"

Shen Liang took out his phone and said, "I just saw that it seems to be 190 million. It should be over 200 million now, right?"

Na Zha said, "...210 million!"

"...Let me see..."

Chen Sicheng took Na Zha's phone...
