I didn't want to be an actor

In fact, most actors who cross over to become directors are following the trend!

Xu Zheng and Wu Jing were not approached by anyone for filming. Even if they were approached, they would only be supporting roles. They might as well just direct and act on their own and give it a try.

Then, continue to evolve, from director to producer, producer, and investor.

Shen Liang's current identity is the producer.

Then why does he still want to be a director?

Prove that you can direct?

Prove it to whom?

The main reason why many actors turn to directors is that current film creation is more like assembly line industrial production than literary and artistic creation.

Too many directors have low abilities, and their artistic guidance ability is almost non-existent.

It is easy for actors to have an idea, that is: I can do it!

After all, there are bottom products like Bao Beier...

By the way, some people wonder why Bao Beier can still hang around in the industry?

I couldn't act well, so I became a director.

Appearance, looks, acting skills, abilities, character, none of them are good.

But he just has endless resources?

Why?

He has a wide network of contacts in the circle and understands the unspoken rules of the circle very clearly.

Talk about people when you see them, talk about ghosts when you see ghosts!

Of course, many of the people he associates with are worse and worse than him.

This group of people regards badness as pride, and adapting to the situation as ability, and they build relationships by forming cliques.

I don’t look good, I have a bad attitude, I’m arrogant, I haven’t produced any works yet and I have no business ability, I just rely on the backstage, I have connections, I have connections, I eat with a shy face...

Not to mention his moral integrity and talent, he can't even figure out his image. He is a floor-level figure in the entertainment industry.

However, it is said that his PPT is very good!

Can be fooled into investing...

——Relying on the entire resource capacity, the most important thing for an actor to become a director is the integration of resources, that is, star resources. His movies can always invite a bunch of stars to participate...

It's just that the audience's aesthetics have grown a lot at this stage, so it's hard for him to swindle money. He can only tinker with some low-quality Internet giants...

I guess, after a while, it will be time to shoot a short play.

…

The crew of "Changjin Lake" is filming in a closed environment.

The war drama will be released in July next year, and the actors have been staying on set...

Wu Jing attaches great importance to his character, and he changed many of his lines himself - to ensure that this line is correct!

Shen Liang also followed suit and changed many scenes...

A scene was added in which Wu Wanli asked political commissar Mei Sheng: "Why do we have to come to North Korea?"

Mei Sheng replied: "You don't understand?"

"I'm just a little confused...I asked Thunder Lord, and Thunder Lord told me to follow the command...but why is there such an order?"

Mei Sheng clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to gather around: "This is my mistake as the political commissar... I didn't take into account that Wan Li had just joined, and he didn't understand many things... So, let me ask you, what were the tragic situations when we entered the DPRK? Did you see it?"

"I saw it..."

"The Yankee planes flew over the Yalu River and bombed our Dandong... Then will they fly over the Yellow River and the Yangtze River and bomb our hometown? Think about it when these things happen to our hometown and our relatives. What should we do? What should we do? Don’t take chances. If we don’t resist, what will happen then?”

"So, we have to resist!"

"Yes, the truth is very simple and cruel. Everyone understands simply that if you want to live a peaceful and happy life, you can only win the war and beat the American devils until they have to give up. What is cruel?"

"We might die?"

"Yes, this is what makes our people's army different from other armies. We fight for the people...give!"

Wu Wanli took the book and looked at the damaged cover, "Serving the People?"

"Yes! "Serve the People", we will all memorize it...you listen to it again!"...

Then Wu Qianli, Yu Congrong, Lei Suisheng, Pinghe and Meisheng began to recite "Serving the People"...

"Our Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Communist Party are revolutionary troops. Our army is entirely for the liberation of the people and works completely for the interests of the people... The Chinese people are suffering, and we have the responsibility to rescue them. We have to fight hard. If we fight, we will have to sacrifice. But when we think about the interests of the people and the suffering of the majority of the people, we die for the people."

This section lasts about five minutes...

Shen Liangjia’s play…

After convincing Xu Ke, Xu Ke agreed to add it.

The original words are: "Wan Li has been tempered by the flames of war and grown into an excellent volunteer soldier. He must have a soul. This scene is to give him a soul..."

Xu Ke consulted Huang Jianxin and then agreed to add...

Well, Shen Liang still couldn't hold it back...

Even if you offend someone, you have to take action yourself and regain a certain amount of control. At least you can straighten your own line.

After all, he is the leading actor, and many viewers come to see the movie for him. He must ensure that he is worthy of these viewers!

…

"Eat an apple!"

"Thanks…"

Shen Liang put away his phone, took the apple from Wu Jing, took a bite, and then asked him: "Brother Jing, what's wrong?"

"The film schedule of "The Crowd" dropped to 4.8%..."

"Normally, with so many new films, theaters must give new films more opportunities."

Indeed, with the arrival of the Christmas season, "The Bathing King", "Qing Ya Ji", "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and a romance film "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" starring Yang Tianbao are released one after another...

"The Crowd" has been in theaters for 29 days, with a cumulative box office of 2.36 billion.

The daily revenue in a single day has dropped to around 5 million. Although there is still box office potential, it is definitely not as good as this batch of new films!

"..."Earth Fire" Aren't you worried?"

"Of course I'm worried. However, "Tang Detective 3" itself was a top player in last year's Spring Festival. It was postponed for one year... I can imagine that its box office performance must be very high... But I have watched the finished film of "Fire", and the quality is good. Even if I can’t beat “Tang Detective 3”, I think it’s not a big problem to win the runner-up spot during the Spring Festival!”

"Then you paid for the filming?"

"I don't know..." Shen Liang shook his head: "I guess I should have given it..."

Everyone knows that the Spring Festival is the easiest time to make money, as there are many people and the tickets are expensive.

But why do only 6-7 movies come in every year?

Theaters are regulated!

For example: You pay 200 million first, and I guarantee you a film schedule of no less than a certain amount for the entire schedule.

What if you don’t pay but still want to enter the Spring Festival stalls?

Yes, but the maximum number of films you will be given is 1% or 0.1%, just like "Peppa Pig Celebrating the New Year" and "Integrity", a symbolic row.

Of course, some films can still be released if they force money to be paid. However, the film studio found that the income from forcibly guaranteeing a performance was far less than the expenditure (such as "Red Carpet" and "The Four Seas"). Therefore, if they did not accept the money, they advised the film company to just sit down and change the schedule, or come back to the next part...

Of course, Shen Liang has a basic base - even if he doesn't pay, he still has 15% of the film schedule!

In addition, pre-sales and publicity are also important.

But if you want to go higher, you will definitely have to pay!

However, this is something that China Film and Maoyan, the distributors, consider, and has little to do with Shen Liang.

"Why do you ask?"

"Just ask," Wu Jing remembered something: "I think the director recommended you for the Spring Festival Gala's martial arts performance..."

"Me?" Shen Liang was confused: "Isn't it Donnie Yen and you?"

"You come out last and do a set of Tai Chi!"

"It's better that Ma Baoguo appears..."

"who?"

"No one..." Shen Liang shook his head: "It's not easy for me to attend the Spring Festival Gala this year!"

"Why?"

"I just turned down the singing invitation!"
