I didn't want to be an actor

Wu Jing talked to Shen Liang about his experience in "The Meg 2"...

Although the project was mainly funded by China, the production team was from Hollywood, and the director, script, etc. were all ready.

Wu Jing brought Yu Baimei into the group, changed the character setting, and added many small details...

Including the name of the character, which was changed from Zhang Jian to Zhang Jiuming.

This was Yu Baimei's idea, taken from "The Praise of the Statue of Yu Wenjing" "The sky is above, and the nine lights are below." Jiuming means both the ocean and the abyss, which is the theme.

Of course, I personally feel that this name is not good. Which Chinese parents would give their children a name with "Ming"?

This shows that Yu Baimei's talent is really limited!

Of course, Shen Liang didn't say anything...

Instead, he listened to Wu Jing continue to talk. He mentioned the shooting process: "I went there to learn from him! Not only the production process, but also the living habits, division of labor, and positions of the staff, whether it is the field service, service, props, art, lighting, and photography, including the very detailed division of labor in the planning department and the production department, which department we should hand over to, and how to reduce errors in the middle."

"By the way, I also packed a bunch of photography equipment!"

"Photography equipment?"

"For example, subjective photography equipment, there are such machines in China, but they are different from Hollywood. Each set of equipment is more than 20 kilograms heavier than Hollywood's. I exchanged those with the Hollywood team. The brackets and parts of the subjective machine were packed and sent to Guo Fan..."

"Tsk tsk..."

Wu Jing smiled, then remembered something and said directly: "I want to shoot "Classic of Mountains and Seas"..."

"Classic of Mountains and Seas is not easy to shoot..."

"They gave me a book "Oddities of the Public Opinion Bureau", and I plan to start with this book..."

"Oddities of the Public Opinion Bureau?" Shen Liang nodded: "I have heard of this book..."

"Oddities of the Public Opinion Bureau" has opened up a new type of novel: folk legend + horror story. "Miaojiang Daoshi", "Top Secret Files", "Strange Files", "Oddities Records", including "My Years as a Taoist Priest" and "Chinese Dragon Group" are all of this type!

All of them are about the protagonist joining a mysterious organization by coincidence, and then a series of bizarre and exciting "supernatural" stories happened...

"Odd Creatures Records" is also of this type.

However, Shen Liang is not optimistic about the adaptation of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" - according to materialistic values, feudal superstition cannot be carried out!

But he still came up with an idea: "Either travel through time and space, or...make the monsters look like they are at peace with the world and want to make friends with humans, like in "ET"..."

Wu Jing immediately asked: "...are you interested?"

"...you can give it a try!"

...

In fact, the biggest problem with "The Meg 2" is that the force value is not evenly distributed!

There are three sharks, and the American Wolf Warrior should kill one, the Chinese Wolf Warrior should kill one, and then work together to kill another one...

As a result, the movie shows that the American Wolf Warrior kills two sharks in a row, and the third shark is persuaded to return by the Chinese Wolf Warrior. Humans and nature live in harmony, peace and love!

It is still the traditional path: the white man saves the world, the black man is responsible for rapping, and the Asian man is responsible for technical support. The dog must not die!

Since Asian man has invested, give him a few monsters to fight...

In addition, when I watch "The Meg", I want to see the big shark bite people!

Bite openly.

Fuck, in a two-hour movie, the scene of sharks appears for less than 20 minutes!

Watch a ball...

In addition, sharks!

Compulsory education tells us that sharks are endangered species.

How are they endangered? They are overfished.

What are they caught for?

Eat them!

No, no matter how awesome you praise this thing, no matter how powerful it is...these are not reasons for it not to be on the table!

As I said before: in most cases, Chinese people are unlikely to be afraid of edible things.

However, "The Meg 2" made a profit.

The first film of the "The Meg" series grossed $522 million worldwide, and "The Meg 2" grossed $396 million worldwide!

The combined global box office of the two films: $918 million, and the two films grossed $263 million in mainland China, which is the most powerful among the co-productions...

And the official announcement is that there will be a third film...

It is estimated that Shen Liang will be invited...

The Shanghai Film Festival, in fact, is the full name of the Shanghai International Film Festival. It is a film festival, so there is a main competition unit!

The biggest news this year is probably # Hu Ge and Da Peng won the award for Best Actor # …

Hu Ge won the award for "The Journey", and Da Peng won the award for "The Eighth Suspect"…

Both movies are not very good, especially "The Journey"…

"The Journey" is very similar to the movies starring Hu Ge - pretending to be mysterious and mature, but actually very empty.

Many people say that "The Journey" is an art film…

This movie is about a person writing eulogies and doing some business in the funeral industry…

This kind of movie is easy to make into a classic.

For example, "White Ribbon", "Love", "Her" and the like, whether it is exploring human nature or death, or exploring future technology, although there is no sensationalism and emotional restraint, the story has depth, and even the plots of these movies are very compact.

It will attract you to watch it, and you will be deeply shocked after watching it.

After watching "The Journey", can you only type one? …

What is this thing for?

"The Eighth Suspect", to paraphrase a comment from a netizen: a constipated main-theme crime film, with no style, no emotions, no characters, no story...

This is a very impure movie: some people do it for awards, some do it for money, but no one cares whether it is good or not.

Why did the Shanghai Film Festival give awards to these two actors?

It's just like Huang Xiaoming flew from abroad to Shanghai urgently, and won the "Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor" for a movie that no one has seen yet...

Sometimes I think about it, I really don't understand these old people in the film and television industry (juan), what's the point of judging these people?

When it comes to the film market to test the real appeal of these best actors and actresses, they just fail again and again...

Hey, a few years ago, there was a trend of advocating "old drama bones" and mocking "fresh meat", but now, it's no longer a thing!

The fact that everyone can see is that the vast majority of so-called "old drama bones" are obviously pursuing fame and fortune, but they use the traffic popularity of despising "fresh meat" while stepping on young people to market themselves...

Forget it, I won't complain anymore!

Shen Liang left Shanghai before the awards were presented - he had to join the crew of "Go West to Anxi"!

…

"Go West, Anxi", the cast is quite luxurious…

——The whole city is full of white-haired soldiers!

They must be over 60 years old.

Jackie Chan brought in a bunch of old friends, most of whom were old friends he worked with when he was young, including Mars, Yuen Biao and Lu Huiguang…

Shen Liang originally thought that Jackie Chan would look for the first generation of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team…

Then the martial arts instructor Wu Gang told him, 'There is no first generation of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team! '

Shen Liang was very curious: "No?"

"Brother once disbanded the Jackie Chan Stunt Team for a period of time, and the first generation no longer exists!"
