I didn't want to be an actor

Well, the main reason is that Shen Liang doesn’t want to take on foreign films…

Han Yan has his own producer.

By the way, let me tell you something. Because “Shaking the Sun” and “Boonie Bears” are distributed by the same distributor, and “Boonie Bears” is a well-known “must-have” during the Spring Festival,

so, when the release date was set at the beginning, the producer was extremely tough and required the theaters to give “Shaking the Sun” 12% of the screenings and “Boonie Bears” 10% of the screenings before they would give the film keys…

——The film company felt that “Shaking the Sun” would have a box office of at least 2 billion yuan, which could not be accommodated in the general schedule…

Of course, the plan for bundled distribution fell through.

Then, “Shaking the Sun”, a film that was extremely inappropriate for the Spring Festival, flopped, and it had nothing to do with its own quality.

Why did they have to release a “terminal illness film” during the Spring Festival?

Why did they have to put a film that should have been released during the Qingming Festival or the Dragon Boat Festival to “bring bad luck” during the Spring Festival?

This shows the arrogance of the distributor!

Every Chinese knows that during the Spring Festival, the most taboo thing is this!

Are you pretending to be a foreign guest?

I heard that during the Spring Festival, the film producers of "Shaking the Sun" kept harassing all theaters by phone, demanding at least two screenings. Some theaters gave them face and some did not. In anger, the film producers blacklisted all theaters that did not schedule, and no subsequent movie ticket subsidies were given, and they could only sell at the original price.

Then the main distribution of "Kowloon Walled City: The Besieged City" and "Negotiation Expert" could not stand it, and the blacklist was removed...

-If your audience is biased towards young people, don't put it in the Spring Festival!

...

In fact, the theme of putting people and children of different social income levels in the same environment and producing chemical reactions has always been a hot topic in film and television works!

Many idol dramas are also like this, typical examples are "It Started with a Kiss" and "Meteor Garden". In "Meteor Garden", Shancai, who comes from the lower middle class of society, established friendships, complementarity and growth through exchanges with the top but wealthy young masters.

In "It Started with a Kiss", Xiangqin, who also comes from the lower middle class of society, through hard work, experienced all kinds of things with the school celebrity Naoki and formed a family.

"Bao's Father and Son" is just the opposite...

He is critical and sarcastic!

Back to Lao Fu, he was very touched when he learned that Shen Liang was interested in "Bao's Father and Son": "Bao's Father and Son" is very meaningful. Now many people borrow huge sums of money to buy good school district houses and mix in high-end circles...On the surface, it is for the good of children, but in fact it is still utilitarian education!"

Shen Liang: "Then according to you, what is the purpose of education?"

"Shaping personality! For example, let students understand courtesy and integrity, and be educated people."

Jiao Fenhong shook his head: "In fact, this part of education is already dead in name only. After all, these contents are not tested in the college entrance examination...Now parents put all their hopes on their children, without considering their children's actual situation at all, hoping that their children can achieve class soaring through education-it is soaring, not a simple leap."

"What do you think?"

Shen Liang took out his script outline: "I think it can be combined with studying abroad and online fraud...Xiao Bao After failing the college entrance examination, Lao Bao wanted to study abroad. He sold his house to raise enough tuition. When he arrived abroad, he met a group of bad friends and became addicted to drugs. He kept asking his family for money. In the end, he had no choice but to borrow high-interest loans from local gangs. Under the threat of the gangs, he embarked on the abyss of selling drugs to support his drug addiction. Finally, he was caught by the customs... and the ending was that he was sentenced to death! "

"Is it too tragic..."

"This story is a tragedy of life!"

"That's cruel..."

"It's okay, Lao Bao will ask Shen Teng to play..."

Hearing this, Lao Fu nodded: "...He is suitable to play Lao Bao...You play Xiao Bao?"

Shen Liang quickly shook his head: "I'm almost 30 years old, I can't play it, I definitely can't play it!"

"Who are you going to find?"

"Hu Xianxu...As for the director, I discussed it with Yan Fei and Peng Damo, and they are very interested."

Yan Fei and Peng Damo are still very famous comedy directors!

In the early years, before Shen Teng appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, they followed their teacher to write scripts for the Spring Festival Gala sketches. Cai Ming's "Dream Home" and "Graduate in the Family" were both created by them!

So, "My Hometown and Me" asked them to direct the last unit "Magic Brush Ma Liang"!

But they are not traditional Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama, and they have not paid their dues - to make a comedy with profound thoughts.

Therefore, the traditional film circle thinks that the comedy made by these two people is low-quality and funny, which is the sadness of culture.

Even criticized publicly!

I thought that netizens would be like the circle, once they say something, everyone will echo it.

Unfortunately, the circle will spoil you, but netizens will not. After the illusion was punctured, he used the classic operation of the old cadres: pretending that his account was hacked...

Oh, back to "Bao's Father and Son", Lao Fu nodded: "Okay, let's do it!"

Jiao Fenhong thought about it and added: "Don't be too critical of the education system..."

"Don't worry, we understand!"

Lao Fu changed the subject: "Can "Silent Killing" exceed 1 billion?"

Shen Liang nodded: "Almost, the popularity on Douyin is okay, 1 billion is the bottom line, if the response is good, it is estimated that 1.5 billion is possible!"

"Why don't American blockbusters sell well?"

"It's not good... Too much pursuit of political correctness, "The Little Mermaid" even found a black lead actor!"

"Is political correctness so important?"

“…I don’t know,” Shen Liang shrugged, “It doesn’t matter if she’s black or not, at least she has to look good… They found an ugly girl, I can’t stand it!”

“…The heroine of Transformers was also black!”

“Have you seen it?”

“I saw the trailer…”

…

Hollywood is getting worse and worse. In a nutshell: Hollywood’s backward cultural stories cannot satisfy the advanced cultural tastes of the Chinese people!

This year’s Fast and Furious 10 and Transformers: Rise of the Power Warriors were both very lame in the mainland.

Even Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible 7: Deadly Reckoning (Part 1)…

“Mission: Impossible”, after the mainland market expanded, all of them were big sellers. The previous Mission: Impossible 6 made 1.245 billion…

As a result, the seventh movie didn’t even make 350 million in the mainland box office!

In this case, Jia Zhangke believes that ‘they cannot accept a more diverse film and cultural market, which also indicates the abnormality of the Chinese film market’…

Tsk tsk, the master is the master!

However, you have made movies all your life, but none of them are hits. How can you be confident in evaluating the film market?

Ahem...

After leaving the Xiaoxitian Film Archive, Shen Liang went back home and rested for a night. The next day, he flew to Hungary...

The filming location of "Alien: Taken" is in Budapest, Hungary, to be more precise: Origo Studios.

Hungary's tax refund system has attracted many Hollywood movies to come here for filming. Most importantly, Hungary itself has a film foundation, and there is a complete industrial chain in terms of setting and post-production!
