I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 736 Influence (13)

There are actually conflicts between Hong Kong filmmakers and mainland filmmakers!

Moreover, this conflict has a long history. In the early years, Li Lianjie had a conflict with the Hong Kong entertainment industry because of unequal treatment. In 94, during the filming of "A Chinese Odyssey", mainland actors and Hong Kong actors often clashed, and once they even blocked martial arts instructor Cheng Xiaodong in the room.

Before 04, Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and actresses were able to walk around freely in mainland China. Politically, they were "united front targets" and "Tianlong people". Economically, they were said to have box office appeal. They were spoiled by all parties, which led to these people, to put it bluntly, not treating mainland actors and actresses as human beings. Assistant directors, producers, production managers, makeup artists and even the nannies from Hong Kong and Taiwan were mostly arrogant and rude. They were always demanding and had bad tempers. It was not uncommon for them to beat and scold people at will when they were not satisfied...

Then, Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Weijian beat Wang Bozhao, causing a shock in the entire circle!
But the film industry is still the home turf of this group of people - at that time, except for Feng Xiaogang, few mainland directors would make commercial films, and a lot of big directors were unwilling to use mainland actors. "The Promise" cast Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi, and Liu Ye could only play the supporting actor. In "Curse of the Golden Flower", it starred Chow Yun-fat and Jay Chou, and Liu Ye was still the supporting actor!
Then there was the Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zidan incident in 2012…

It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in this matter. What matters is that it represents mainland actors' resistance to the "hegemony" of Hong Kong actors, and that mainland netizens give overwhelming support.

Since then, there have been boycotts of Zhao Yanzi's film "No Other Love" and bans on double-dealers from appearing on the screen...

The Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles are no longer mainstream!
Now Shen Liang spoke.

Shen Liang is the first of the new generation in the domestic entertainment industry. His appeal is strong enough to compete with all the Hong Kong actors combined!
Compared to him, Louis Koo is nothing.

Then there are many posts analyzing why Louis Koo is working so hard to promote "The Tomorrow War"...

The spearhead is pointed at Xi Mihua!

It's not like he hasn't suffered losses before. "Miaowai", "Science Fiction" and "Mystery City" all suffered losses, and they were all produced by his film company, but he has never lost his composure like this time!
There was always someone to cover for us in the past!
By the way, I also exposed Louis Koo thoroughly!

Especially on Douban, Louis Koo’s image has completely collapsed and he has too many dark histories.

Marketing China's poorest actor, but he ended up buying a yacht worth half a billion yuan, hanging the British flag at home, and every light in the room where he keeps toys costs 20 yuan, and his mattress costs millions...

The only press release is that he is the poorest Chinese celebrity, with no car or mansion, who makes bad movies and endorses MLM and casinos all for the sake of building a school!

He endorsed a certain MLM company in the mainland and earned 20 million in the name of Principal Gu in three months!
As for donating money...

Not to mention the sponsorship fee, Xi Mihua donated hundreds of millions and still went to jail.

Shen Liang's criticism of "The Tomorrow War" directly dominated the hot searches...

However, there are still a lot of people saying things like, "If "The Tomorrow War" can't pass 40 billion, everyone here is responsible!", "Those who don't watch "The Tomorrow War" are not patriotic, and those who don't have any love are traitors!"...

I feel like they are all playing the black role!
The feedback from the cinemas was quite real. On the second day, August 8, the screening schedule of "New Journey" soared to 13%, with more than 8 screenings scheduled. The screening schedule of "Assassination of Novelist" was 31%, and the screening schedule of "The Lone Moon" was 28%...

The screening of "The Tomorrow War" has dropped to 6%...

This is called suppression!
……

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it openly. There's no point in playing dirty tricks behind people's backs!"

In the afternoon, Shen Liang accepted an interview on Weibo and talked about yesterday’s live broadcast…

"It all started when a user on Douyin claimed to be an employee of a certain cinema and reported the film "New Journey" for stealing box office revenue... He also took out his ID card..."

"So... did you find out?"

"We have already checked it out. This person's identity information is fake. He is not an employee of the movie studio, and the movie studio did not steal the box office! He is just a fan of "The Tomorrow War"..."

"Then how did you deal with it?" "Deal with it according to the law. Huli.com is not a place outside the law... I heard that the cinema directly removed "The Tomorrow War"..."

"Do you feel angry this time?"

"Of course I'm angry... The movie 'New Journey' is almost out of theaters, and something like this happened... It's really inexplicable!"

"So what do you think of Gu Tianyue?"

Shen Liang thought for a moment, then replied: "Not very familiar! Hard to comment!"

"Didn't you work with him before?"

"'The Devil', right?" Shen Liang smiled and said, "I made that movie mainly to cooperate with director Chen Musheng. I only know that when I was filming 'The Devil', he was filming three movies at the same time. I never talked to him... nor did I have any dealings with him!"

“So what do you think of Hong Kong filmmakers?”

Shen Liang: "We can't generalize. Chen Musheng and Xu Ke still maintain an enterprising attitude..."

"So do you think that the mainland is squeezing out Hong Kong films? Also, is it possible for Hong Kong films to rise again?"

"It's impossible. I shot three movies in Hong Kong. Compared with the filming of The Wandering Earth, I found that they were all made-up teams. There is no film industry at all! They say that the mainland is squeezing out Hong Kong actors. What is the attitude of the Hong Kong film industry towards the mainland?"

"This group of people, they are politically motivated in the movie, they are politically motivated outside the movie, they are politically motivated at their own film festivals, they are politically motivated at foreign film festivals, and then they accuse others of being politically motivated..." At this point, Shen Liang shook his head: "So, 'Better Days' will never be released... I said that!"

“…Many people think that “The Battle of Tomorrow” is the result of ten years of hard work by Koo Tin-leung…”

Shen Liang interrupted him: "Movies are very cruel. A movie is good only if the audience says it's good. Ten years of hard work is useless, even if you have put in twenty years of hard work... In recent years, we have seen too many movies advertised with the theme of "how many years of hard work it took"... Generally, when seeing such promotional slogans, the audience subconsciously thinks it is a bad movie!"

Just to name a few examples: The Assassin took 13 years to make… Chasing the Dream of the Entertainment Circle took 12 years of hard work…

To the extent that there is a consensus in the industry: any promotional statement that says "the script has been polished for N years" or "the film has been polished for N" years means that it has not been sold!
"I heard that The Assassination of Novelist had approached you before?"

Definitely have to ask about "Assassination of Novelist"...

This interview itself is to promote "Assassination of Novelist"!
This is called publicity.

"...Yes, they approached me...On the one hand, I didn't have time, and on the other hand, I read the original novel of "Assassination of Novelist" and found it difficult to adapt it into a movie, and it was difficult to commercialize and popularize it...So I didn't take the job..."

"Have you seen this movie?"

"I've seen it... the special effects are very gorgeous, and it can definitely be regarded as the culmination of the domestic film industry." After a pause, Shen Liang continued: "I estimate that the box office of this movie will not be bad... but it won't be too high!"

"why?"

"The plot is still a little weak..." After a pause, Shen Liang explained: "I personally prefer books with more logical plots..."

"Did Director Han Han contact you?"

“…Not yet, but I’m sure he’ll contact me!”
