I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 777 Daily Life (13)

Ning Hao was surprised: "Where did you know all this?"

"Look at the information..." Shen Liang said seriously: "I know our movie is about cyber fraud, so we must know a lot of detailed information... Didn't you do this work?"

“…not as detailed as you did…”

"If you add what you said, it will affect the rhythm of the whole play..."

"Then just edit it out separately, make it into a prequel or a spin-off, and sell it to a streaming platform!"

Wang Yibing: "... Let's think about it..."

"Think about it as soon as possible. If you don't do it, I will!"

"Ah? You want to do it?"

Shen Liang took it for granted: "It is not easy to film the subject of online fraud. We must make more... to fully display..."

Ning Hao was about to speak, but Wang Yibing immediately said, "No problem, how do you want to do it?"

“Make a solo film about Anna, and then make another about money laundering…”

"Money laundering? How?"

"'All or Nothing' shows how to withdraw cash by running points. To be honest, the method of running points to withdraw cash has long been unrealistic after the domestic card-cutting campaign and increasingly stringent cash control policies. Now, let alone running 800 million, if you go to the bank to withdraw 50, you will know how much effort it is. You have to support people, maintain cards, have organizational and coordination skills, and ensure that the cash is not lost. To be honest, this difficulty is really not something that ordinary people can do... Virtual currency is more popular now..."

"Virtual currency?"

“The method is not difficult. When the black money is distributed to level 4-5 cards, it will flow into the virtual currency exchange and be exchanged for currencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum. Then it will be collected into a private key wallet, copied to a USB flash drive, and directly remitted to an account in Southeast Asia through an underground bank consignee…”

“I heard them say Macau casinos…”

"The Macau Monetary Authority has introduced a series of regulatory measures to stop money laundering in casinos. The supervision is becoming more and more strict. It is difficult not to be targeted in this way of money laundering!"

After a pause, Shen Liang added: "I have watched a Hong Kong drama called "A Thousand Lies" before, and the plot is based on the theme of the Thousand Gates and Eight Generals. Although it is only 20 episodes long, it has brought me a deep shock.

Once you fall into the trap set by this group of people, even if you are extremely wealthy, you will end up with nothing. They have clear division of labor, rewards and punishments, and are omnipresent. "

……

If Shen Liang had said this last year, Wang Yibing would probably not have taken it seriously...

But this year is different!
With the huge sales of "New Journey", "Keep You Safe" and "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop", Shen Liang has become one of the top producers...

In the past, investment in movies was mainly co-investment and joint investment...

These three films are produced by the main control, and the subject matter and story outline are all provided by Shen Liang!

In the past, people in the industry only admired Shen Liang’s appeal, but now they admire his vision even more.

By the way, as of December 12, the cumulative box office of "Annual Meeting Cannot Stop" has exceeded 31 million after 7 days of release...

It surpassed "Avatar 2" all the way and won seven single-day box office championships.

If nothing unexpected happens, by the end of the three days of New Year's Day, "The Annual Party Can't Stop" should be able to break 7 million. According to Maoyan's box office forecast, the final landing point of "Annual Party" will be more than 10.2 billion!
In stark contrast is "The Househusband" - it's a terrible movie!
And it's a terrible movie with a lot of comedians.

Even with the support of Maoyan + Tao Piao Piao, it was useless - the box office on the first day was only 4700 million...

It is estimated that the final price will be around 1.5 million!
Many self-media outlets claim that "the domestic comedy landscape established by Mahua will be broken by Shen Liang."

This is a bit exaggerated! But, in a sense, it is also true.

At present, there are four teams making comedies in China, namely Benshan Media, Deyun Club, Happy Twist, and Da Wan Entertainment... Only Mahua and Da Wan Entertainment... are capable of making comedy films!
But Big Bowl Entertainment relies on Jia Ling alone, and her efficiency in scheduling films is too low. It took three years after "Hello, Li Huanying" for her to release "Hot as Hell".

To do comedy, you definitely need professional talents!

The comedy movies that have been selling well in recent years, including "Warm Hugs", "Li Mao Plays the Prince", "Hello, Brother", "Unfamiliar Life", and "Money Spending at the End of the Road", actually have a fixed cast, with a group of actors from Mahua + Benshan Media...

Shen Liang does not have his own comedy team, but the actors used in "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop" and "Keep You Safe" have nothing to do with these companies!
So, he broke the pattern...

It still makes sense!

Liang Ge didn't say this during his live broadcast, but he said, "Compared with other movie types, comedy movies are one of the types with the least investment, the highest ceiling, and the easiest to produce hits. Among the top 50 Chinese movie box office, 17 are comedies."

In the drama market, "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has long been sold out by the audience, but the next comedy drama that can make the Chinese people laugh is still a long way off!

'In the comedian echelon, the top comedians who are still active are almost all over 40. The comedy industry urgently needs young "Shen Teng" and "Jia Ling" to meet the production needs of comedy film and television works...but everyone is not willing to give newcomers a chance..."

"The current film and television market is in an absolute cold winter... No company will give newcomers a chance unless they have money... They have their own investment and don't care whether they make money or not..."

"Our company's tentative strategy is to make two or three low-cost genre films every year. These genre films are definitely crime films, or they may be comedies..."

"I will also do big productions...Everyone already knows about "Shu Shan". Next July, I will work with Jackie Chan on a play called "Nine Thousand Nine Hundred Miles West to Anxi", which tells the story of the Anxi White Hair Army..."

"Why do you want to cooperate with Jackie Chan?"

“…Not only Jackie Chan, the director is Zhang Yimou!”

"I wrote the script, and it has two male protagonists... The cost should be around 4 million. The main scenes are very grand, and the special effects are also quite expensive..."

"…Next year's schedule…Two movies. I have to go to the UK to shoot Alien: Romulus…which is the ninth Alien movie…and then I will return to China to shoot Journey to Anxi. After September, I will join the crew of Tai Chi Master!"

"Yes, Wu Jing is directing and I am starring..."

"Now... I am currently filming "All or Nothing" in Hainan... The main actors are Peng Yuchang, Na Zha and Jiang Qiming, and I am the villain..."

"It's only 20 days to shoot, I don't have many scenes... I can go home for the New Year this year!"

Then a friend in the comment section asked him: "Are you going to the Spring Festival Gala..."

Shen Liang scratched his head: "I should participate and sing "Don't Panic, There is Moonlight When the Sun Sets"..."

“…Okay, that’s enough. I still need to prepare. I will be filmed tomorrow…Finally, thank you all for supporting “Annual Meeting, Can’t Stop”!”

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Shen Liang stopped broadcasting, washed his face, and returned to the bedroom...

Naza was lying on the bed, fiddling with... a camera!

Shen Liang immediately grabbed the camera: "What do you want to do?"

“…Record the beautiful moments!”

"Are you crazy?"

"What's the matter..."

Shen Liang shook his head and took out the memory card, saying: "I don't believe in so-called technological products..."
