I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 192 First Week Box Office (23)

Most marketing accounts and self-media are for traffic, or to be more precise, for making money!

Many arguments designed to provoke conflict are just for the purpose of provoking conflict.

Especially for many marketing accounts on current affairs, often the author’s views and opinions are consistent with those of the public, but they must stand on the opposite side of the public in order to be attacked by the public.

The more people there are, the more revenue they will earn from advertising, and they will make more and more outrageous remarks. Some of them who cannot be controlled will be banned by the platform.

Many of them use their private accounts to browse current affairs news and read the comment sections every day.

If he finds some outrageous comments below, he will get angry and can't help but want to curse. Then he will turn around and go back to his money-making account to express the same views and let others curse him.

You see, I provide you with a place to vent, and you help me make money, it's a win-win situation!

It is even simpler for marketing accounts that specialize in gossip and breaking news. They will take advantage of whoever is popular.

Now that "Time Travel Cohabitation" is in theaters, Shen Liang's popularity is soaring...

If not his popularity, whose?
And Shen Liang has said things without thinking many times...

He also mentioned that he dated Jing Tian for a day during the filming of "Time Travel Cohabitation"...

This thing is so easy to make!
So, a bunch of "explosions" came out, and the content written by these people was quite interesting, even tracing back to Jing Tian's appearance on "Mars Intelligence Agency"...

Love at first sight or something...

This is complete nonsense. Doesn’t Shen Liang know whether there is love at first sight?

If I have to say, there was indeed a little bit of lust because of her beauty, but that was Jing Tian. Any normal man would have that kind of lust, right?
……

"I think it's quite funny... I think everyone may know that we work very hard in publicity, so I made up a joke on purpose..."

"Sister Jing Tian also knows that a lot of the content I read was sent to me by her..."

At the roadshow, an audience member asked Shen Liang about his relationship, and Shen Liang smiled and replied…

"Is it possible for you two?"

"What could it be?"

"Together!"

Shen Liang thought for a moment, and said seriously: "I can only say that everything is possible, but this kind of thing is not up to me alone. You have to ask her opinion. I can accept a sister-brother relationship, but she may not accept it..."

"…Thanks."

The audience who asked the question was satisfied...

I don't know what satisfies...

"Teacher Xu Zheng, I want to ask why you are looking for Jing Tian?"

Xu Zheng picked up the microphone: "... She is suitable, and she took the initiative to ask to join... To be honest, I have approached several actresses before, some of them were not available, and some heard that the male lead was Shen Liang, so they made various requests... There was even an even more bizarre reason for rejection: Our artists now only star in movies with a gross of more than 1 billion yuan, and no other movies!"

"I said this because I wanted to ask her how she knew that our movie's box office would not exceed 10 billion yuan? Can she judge the box office with her naked eyes?"

"I'm quite angry. If you say you don't like the story, I can understand, but it's ridiculous to use the 10 billion box office to determine whether to act in a movie... You don't even have the basic ethics of an actor!"

Shen Liang smiled and interrupted: "…This is the second time I've heard you say that. It seems that Uncle Xu is really angry!"

"Of course I'm angry. The criteria for an actor to accept a role should be the role and the script. Do you like the role or the script? How can you reject him based on the box office..."

Shen Liang kept smiling: "When I first heard you say this, I was also very angry, but now, I think it is very likely that she was tricked by the management team... There is a high probability that she didn't even know that you invited her!"

"…ah?"

Shen Liang: "Just like Sister Yang Mi, I called her to invite her to guest star... She agreed very readily. Afterwards, I asked her why she refused to appear, and she said... Her management team refused after careful consideration..."

"What do you mean by careful consideration? Her team wants you to be replaced!"

"...Ahem, that's also her team's business..."

Oh, this part is mainly to whitewash Sister Mi... During the previous promotion, Shen Liang admitted in the live broadcast room that "Sister Mi was the first person I invited, but she refused..."

……

When it comes to publicity, the most important thing is to create topics.

Bad movies need topics, and good movies certainly need them even more.

But to be honest, there are really very few topics suitable for hype about "Time Raiders".

In terms of quality, the movie "Time Raiders" barely reaches the level of excellence, and is only at the level of domestic romance movies.

It is far from the classic, and the most direct manifestation is the illogicality.

For example, if Gu Xiaojiao wanted to save her father, with Lu Ming around, she would have countless ways...

The phone call didn't go through, causing confusion in time and space, and then just gave up? Never mentioned it again?
Do you want to save your father?
Plastic father-daughter relationship...

The family line is too trifling!

Of course, it is difficult to sort out the logic of time travel, and the focus of this drama is love!
Therefore, I can only give it an excellent score, still in the category of domestic romance films.

It’s not easy to brag about the quality – the promotional materials are all surprising and good looking…

What can you blow?
Sincerity, feelings...

It's already blowing, all you need is to use a loudspeaker to shout!
Still not enough…

This should be the dilemma faced by most domestic low-cost films - difficult to promote, and unable to find the focus of the promotion!

We can only start with the topic...

Another point is that "Time Travel" is a love movie, and love movies are more difficult to promote...

So, I can only find topics myself!

The two topics #Yang Mi Rejects "Super Time Cohabitation"# and #Who is the Billionaire Heroine# were deleted from the Weibo hot search!

Yang Mi is currently a hot topic, and most of it is mocking...

2010 and 2018 were the two periods when Yang Mi was most severely ridiculed. Whenever she moved, she would become a hot topic, followed by ridicule!

Names like "young mom", "bald chicken" and so on all broke out at this time.

Rejected "Time Travel Cohabitation", many people said "it fits her personality"...

Of course, more people clicked on the comments section and found that Shen Liang said "Her team rejected it!"

This was ignored.

It's normal. Her reputation now is like 'If you ignore me today, I will make you out of reach tomorrow'...

Many people want to see her in trouble!

Shen Liang sent several WeChat messages to explain the matter...after all, it caused harm to the idol.

Yang Mi didn't say anything, but replied, "You owe me a good work!"

Shen Liang agreed immediately, "Don't worry, if there is a good script, I will contact you first!"

By the way, he also posted on Weibo, "I'll say it again, Teacher Yang Mi did not refuse "Time Travel Cohabitation", it was her management team that put forward too harsh conditions! I have a good relationship with Teacher Yang Mi, otherwise, she would not come to guest star with just a phone call, and also bring Gao Weiguang..."

It works great…

Yang Mi's fans began to denounce Jiaxing Company...

For "Time Travel Together", the whole thing has created a huge topic of discussion...

Feedback on the box office: On March 3, Out of Time earned 10 million yuan in a single day, while Black Panther earned 8400 million yuan on the same day.
On March 3, "Time Travel Together" had a single-day box office of 11 million, and "Black Panther" had a single-day box office of 9700 million!
It failed to overtake, but... the word of mouth and market response are already very obvious - it is clear that in the next working days, "Time Travel Together" will definitely surpass "Black Panther"!
Oh, as of March 3, "Time Raiders" has been released for four days and ended its first week of screening, with a cumulative box office of 11 million!
This result exceeded everyone's expectations, including Shen Liang's.
