I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 812: Carving on Shit
Chinese Culture Corporation, founded by Li Ruigang and serves as chairman.

Everyone must have heard of Li Ruigang.

He is a powerful figure in the Shanghai media circle. He was an artistic youth when he was in school and served as the president of the Fudan Poetry Society.

Later, he also personally wrote the theme song for the Dragon TV program "Come on! Good Man": Today I finally stand on this young battlefield, please applaud me for my pride; today I will walk towards this distant challenge, I want to make the world excited for me..."

Domineering exposed.

This guy is very powerful. In 2001, Li Ruigang went abroad as a visiting scholar sent by the SH Municipal Government for further studies. After returning, he became the president of Shanghai Media Group (SMG) and established the Chinese Cultural Industry Fund. At the age of 33, he became the youngest head of a local radio and television media in China and began to be called "Uncle Li"...

A big shot spanning politics, business and culture!

The Meg is a joint creation of Chinese Culture and Warner Bros…

Ying Xujun is the vice president of China Media Capital, responsible for "The Meg 2". In fact, China Media Capital is also a co-producer of "All or Nothing", but Shen Liang has never met Ying Xujun.

Chen Jiadong should have met her - "Grandma's Grandson", Chinese Culture also invested in it.

This is normal. Shen Liang is now the top figure in the domestic entertainment industry, and many investors want to establish relationships with him...

However, the timing was not right, so the two exchanged contact information and then left.

Shen Liang has to attend the film summit forum!

……

The theme of the forum is: Light and shadow connect the world and China.

Fu Ruoqing, Wang Changtian, Shanghai Film Chairman Wang Jianer, Bona's Yu Dong and Shen Liang discussed issues such as domestic film box office and high-quality development.

Oh, Shen Liang was mainly there to listen...

He wasn't planning on showing off. To be honest, with so many big guys around, it wasn't his turn to speak!
The main topic is "Domestic films are rising, contributing 80% of the box office, what should Chinese films do in the future?"

But what these people say are basically things that marketing accounts and self-media have already discussed countless times...

Similar to 'Our current mainstream audience has changed a bit. From the beginning of the marketization of the film industry in 2003 to now, our mainstream audience has actually been the post-00s! With the changes in the mainstream audience and the entry of new mainstream audiences, they have a greater demand for empathy and resonance with Chinese stories and the people and things around them.'

What else? In recent years, domestic films and domestic film and television works have become more and more popular with domestic audiences. One of the important reasons is that realistic works are close to life and resonate with people!

And 'We must respect the market and the audience, because without a terminal film market and terminal demand, the supply will be relatively empty and pale.'

Shen Liang listened very seriously at the beginning, but as time went on, he found it more and more difficult to listen.

I feel like what these people say is all nonsense!
"What does Shen Liang think?"

“…I think the most important thing is empathy…”

“Empathy?”

"When choosing a topic, we should focus on what most audiences care about. For example, the theme of "All or Nothing" released in August is about online fraud..."

Shen Liang was originally planning to promote "All or Nothing", but he didn't expect that this topic would directly attract the interest of a bunch of bigwigs, and they all started discussing it...

We talked a lot about being rooted in reality and stuff like that…

In fact, the biggest problem with Chinese films is the so-called ideological divide between filmmakers and the general public!

The so-called elites and stars in the entertainment industry have really grabbed too much huge wealth that should not belong to them, and they actually believe from the bottom of their hearts that everything is the result of their hard work, efforts, and dedication...

So how can ordinary people empathize with their true thoughts and ideas?

As billionaires who make a fortune every day, do they really look down on ordinary audiences deep down in their hearts?

——Everyone stop playing dumb, otherwise, where did the word “amateur” come from?

The elites in the film industry can be arrogant, but our ancestors taught us more than 2,000 years ago: The grace of a gentleman will be cut off after five generations, and the kings, princes, generals and ministers are not of the same kind! Don't dream that money worship and other things will spread...

Once you make some money, you will be regarded as a life idol, a social role model, and worshipped by everyone. On the contrary, ordinary people will be despised and become losers!

Another point is that many celebrities, including those working behind the scenes, are surrounded by information cocoons and are self-righteous!
The screenwriter of "North Drift South" responded to netizens' complaints about the plot being suspended, and she said, "This is my down-to-earth style, my life!"

Therefore, "Speech at the Yan'an Forum on Literature and Art" is always fresh when you read it.

Some netizens said, "The current film and television industry is moving closer to the end of the Tsarist Russia: During the Tsarist Russia, the upper class aristocrats spoke French, and the ordinary people spoke Russian. Although they lived on the same land, they did not speak the same language, and even believed in different religions! Everyone knows the result later..."

……

"It's meaningless, just listen to their bragging!"

In the evening, Wu Jing took Shen Liang to eat crayfish and talked about the forum during the day...

Wu Jing was amused: "Isn't that what a forum is all about...talking nonsense that seems useful!"

"What? Have you participated?"

"Not really... I attended a film forum today and spent the whole afternoon chatting with Huang Jianxin, Han Yan and others..."

"Ah..." Shen Liang regretted: "I should have gone with you!"

"What are you going to do? You're not the director!"

"No...I'm the producer!"

"It's useless... This is a movie director forum."

Shen Liang rolled his eyes: "I just think being a director is boring..."

"Then you do it!"

"Didn't I say it's boring..." Shen Liang changed the subject: "Do you think China is suitable for shooting monster movies?"

"do not know…"

"Watch "Shushan"! If "Shushan" does well at the box office, I plan to make a commercial movie about beast taming..."

"Beastmaster?"

"It's a fairy-tale theme, but the masters in it all rely on monsters to fight..." After a pause, Shen Liang explained: "The so-called monster movie is essentially a special disaster movie. The monster in the movie is an extremely concrete disaster, and it can also mix in some science fiction and fantasy content, such as "Pacific Rim"."

"Disaster movie..."

“Yes, monster movies are a variation of horror movies.

The so-called "monster" is the materialization of people's deep-seated fear consciousness, which is materialized into intuitive biological images... Therefore, I suggest that "The Meg 2" should show more deep-sea horror!"

“It’s no use…” Wu Jing shook his head: “In The Meg 2, in the original script, the character I played was named Zhang Jian, a wealthy man who owned his own island. He would occasionally wear a Tang suit and would fly back to Shanghai in a helicopter after an action scene.

It is full of Hollywood's stereotypical image of China, which is a million miles away from the real China."

"So what did you change it to?"

"It doesn't matter what I change. The script structure is here. The best I can do is... save it?"

"Carvings on shit?"

"You're so disgusting... Do you still want to eat crayfish?"
