I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 811 Shanghai Film Festival

Is such that.

There are many American actors in Alien: Revenge...

The attitude of American actors towards Chinese actors or Asian actors can be seen from the Oscars ceremony...

Robert Downey Jr. directly ignored Guan Jiwei, and Emma Stone also ignored Michelle Yeoh!

Those actors probably wanted to try treating Shen Liang with this attitude, and then they were beaten by Shen Liang!

He really beat me up, kicked me a few meters away, and then smashed me with a stool...

Two people want to help...

Let’s fight together!
That’s right, three people were beaten!

They beat them half to death, and not only that, they also asked the crew to fire the three of them...

The crew didn't even say a word and just did as they were told!
Shen Liang represents the Chinese market, and the three actors can be replaced at will.

So, he really understands that "Alien: Taken" can make money in the Chinese market!
In addition, the three who were beaten did not dare to speak - it involved racial discrimination.

Oh, Shen Liang said in the live broadcast before, "Because he was connected with Jackie Chan via video, the director respected him very much." In fact, after beating someone, Shen Liang told the director, "I am like Jackie Chan, we both learned Kung Fu!"

After hearing this little story, Yang Mi was very nervous. "…Are you injured?"

"I'm not injured..." Shen Liang waved his hands: "But beating up foreigners is really fun. Not only does it make the audience happy, but it also makes me happy when I'm beating them..."

"You're fighting three alone?"

"I didn't hold back, and after two kicks, they fainted... Plus I had a stool in my hand, so they were just beaten... By the way, have you not been filming recently?"

"No...I'm going to join the crew for filming next month!"

"What are you filming?"

“There’s Nothing That Can’t Be Solved by a Hotpot”…Director Ding Sheng’s work!”

Shen Liang frowned: "...Can you please stop acting?"

"What's wrong? You don't think highly of Ding Sheng?"

“I don’t like the title of this movie!”

Shen Liangzhen has seen this movie!

Before watching it, I had high expectations for this movie because it looked like a dark horse.

The reason for the misjudgment lies in its subject matter, a suspenseful work of the script-killing type, and its style refers to "Famous" made by the "Never Expected" group of brothers three years ago.

This type of work is easy to stand out.

The director doesn't need to spend a lot of effort, the photography doesn't need to be too elaborate, the editing is OK, and there are no requirements for costumes and props. All it takes is a few people to put in some effort, spend a few months in a small dark room, and put together a story with a sophisticated structure, exquisite twists, and an unexpected ending.

Moreover, there are three screenwriters credited with writing Hot Pot. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang...

However, the final effect of the film is really hard to accept.

I won’t talk about the rest, just the beginning: the first shot of this movie is a woman wearing black boots, walking forward, and the camera is shot against the boots.

This shot lasted about 20 seconds.
Later we learned that this woman was Yang Mi.

The question is, is there any foreshadowing behind the long boots? What characteristics of Yang Mi do the long boots reflect? What atmosphere does the long boots create?

It has no effect at all. The precious half minute at the beginning is completely wasted and the information density is extremely low.

Shen Liang asked back: "Have you seen the original short film of "Hot Pot"?"

Yang Mi was surprised: "...Short film? What short film?"

"The original short film "Hot Pot"... directed by Wang Hang, a graduation short film from Beijing Film Academy, seems to have won some award... It wanted to express 'It's easy to eat from the same pot, but difficult to share the same bag', a group of people gathered because of greed also turned against each other because of greed, and finally suffered the consequences... The logic of the script is a mess, and the producer of the short film is Ding Sheng himself."

“So, ‘Nothing a Hotpot Can’t Solve’ is developed from a short film?”

"Yes!" Shen Liang was curious: "Don't you know?"

"...How do you know?" "You told me about it before, so I asked someone to check..."

"So much attention to me?"

"Nonsense, what's the relationship between us?"

Idol bows his head...

……

This year’s Shanghai Film Festival is very grand!
In the first year of full reopening, many movies that had been in backlog for two or three years came out, aiming for this year’s summer schedule.

The timing of the Shanghai Film Festival is just right to warm up the summer season...

"Shushan", "Volunteer Army: Heroic Attack", "Fengshen Part 2", "Superpower Family", "Customs Front", "Journey Across the Moon", "Saving Suspects", "Dunhuang Heroes", "Three Noble Love Stories", "Megalodon 4", "Moscow Operation", "In the Name of the Father", "Atomic Blonde City", "Ex-Files : Married Young", "Nujiang", "Transparent Couple", "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers"" and other crews...

Movies starring Shen Liang, including "She Vanished", "Shushan", "All or Nothing" and "The Beast Clawing at Straws" are all here!
The actors are all big names!
Almost every film's creators came here...

On the one hand, the promotion of the Shanghai Film Festival is indeed very important;
On the other hand...during the cold winter of the film industry, there are not many opportunities to make movies, so coming here to show your face can be considered a form of marketing.

Shen Liang mainly attended the so-called film summit forum and listened to a bunch of film and television company bosses talking nonsense...

Originally, Gordon Chan was going to come over for the entire movie night and announce some film lists.

Let me do the math: if you want a movie night, you have to book a hotel lobby, prepare some food and wine, invite the media, buy some space...

At least 50!
Well, let’s not do that. We are not a listed company.

Other listed companies hold press conferences to release entire film lists in order to stimulate the secondary market and reap profits, but Shen Liang's company is a studio and only produces two or three films a year.

There is no need to do these things!
He didn’t come...

As soon as Shen Liangcai showed up, he was surrounded by a group of reporters and asked about "Alien: Resurrection".

"It will definitely be rated R...We will try to get it released in the country!"

"It should be next summer..."

As Shen Liang answered, he took the initiative to talk about "Shushan": "This summer, "Shushan" will be..."

"Yes, the date has been confirmed, July 7th!"

"Box office expectations... a heavyweight blockbuster, box office expectations will definitely exceed 25 billion!"

“…The next two parts are already in preparation and are expected to start filming by the end of the year…”

“…We have full confidence in “Shushan”!”

Then the reporter asked about "Gone Girl" and "All or Nothing"...

Both of these movies are summer movies...

"I am very optimistic about the market performance of these two films..."

"Our film market is large enough, and the summer season is the biggest season of the year, so it can definitely accommodate several films to achieve success at the same time!"

After being harassed by a group of reporters for more than ten minutes, Shen Liang finally left...

Honestly speaking, the questions asked by these reporters are of no standard at all!

I still say: I have been in the live broadcast room for five or six years, and I can deal with reporters with ease.

Shen Liangcai walked into the auditorium and ran into Wu Jing. He immediately greeted him: "Brother Jing!"

"Shen Liang..."

Wu Jing was very happy to see Shen Liang. He pulled him over and introduced him, "This is President Ying Xujun of Huawen... She is also the producer of The Meg..."

"Mr. Ying!"

"Brother Liang, I've heard a lot about you!"
