Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 1006 Jin Daxi (13)

Jin Chen during the Tang Dynasty was known as a major household whose property was intercepted!
She finally landed the lead role of Ying Huanhuan in "Martial Universe" and even shot the related posters, but the role was ultimately recast with Zhang Tianai when filming started. She herself posted, "I won't fight for what you like..."

Then, the same thing happened with "Like a Flowing River 2"...

— She publicly promoted the role of Liang Sichen in "Like a Flowing River", but the role was ultimately played by Liu Erfei.

However, after she became famous, she started to steal opportunities from others...

Ye Ling'er in "Joy of Life 2"...

We don't know what she's thinking. Ye Ling'er isn't the main character; she has very few scenes!
Is it to echo the content of the TV series?
'It was just a guard who died!'

In reality, it just happened with a different supporting character.

In fact, few people probably remember the actress who played Ye Ling'er; four years later, she remains unknown.

However, because of the plot of the second season of "Joy of Life", Ye Ling'er became the princess of the second prince and had more scenes than in the first season. She was actually targeted by a famous actress in order to ride the wave of popularity of the big IP series.
—This way of eating is just too unsightly.

If you're so great, just snatch the lead role!

However, even without Chen Yao, the Tang people still haven't promoted Jin Chen to the position?

"Tangren doesn't have many resources now, at most one or two dramas a year. Recently they signed Li Landi... They used to be promoting Dilraba!"

Shen Yan rolled her eyes: "Why did Cai Yinong appoint Wang Yi as chairman?"

Shi Shi sighed, "...I don't know, maybe they're thinking of developing a crossover project between TV series and games?"

Starting in 2014, Wang Yi officially became the chairman of Tangren Media, responsible for managing the company.

That year, Tangren Media was preparing for its IPO. With the introduction of a friend, Wang Yi established Zilong Interactive Entertainment in just over a month and completed an angel round of financing of hundreds of millions of yuan by the end of that month.

Zlongame's first game was "Legend of Nine Tails Fox," which achieved great revenue and realized a film-game synergy with Tangren Media.

Then there's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Cloud of the Immortals" and the game "Swordsman Love Story"...

The problem is that the IP for "Chinese Paladin" belongs to Softstar Entertainment!

If you simply call it "Yun Zhi Fan," even if Softstar Entertainment is unhappy, they can't say anything from a legal perspective; they can only curse it as cunning in their hearts.

Then, the new game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3D Turn-Based", officially authorized by Softstar Entertainment and produced by Gaia Interactive, will have its Android closed beta test on May 19th, and will have a "film and game interaction" related to the plot of the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 5" (also known as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Cloud of Fantasy") which will be broadcast on Hunan TV.

In other words, according to Softstar Entertainment's plan, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy: Cloud of the Immortals" is to have a film-game synergy with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3D Turn-Based" game, which they authorized and developed.

However, the game officially announced as a collaboration at the launch ceremony of "Chinese Paladin 5: Legend of the Clouds" was actually the mobile game "Swordsman Love," developed by Zlongame. At the ceremony, Zlongame also signed three lead actors from "Chinese Paladin 5: Legend of the Clouds" as spokespeople for "Swordsman Love"...

And then it broke!
For a while, Tangren Media even hyped up the ten-year promise for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"...

Ask me out of here...

Daewoo has already reclaimed the copyright...

Shi Shi said, "Chairman Wang ruined 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy,' and Tangren lost its former flagship project... In recent years, Tangren really hasn't had any outstanding projects... Jin Chen is almost 30 years old, and he's getting a little anxious!"

"However, to be honest, Jin Chen's conditions aren't particularly good... he's not irreplaceable!"

After a pause, Shen Yan added, "Besides, even if you sign her, what resources do you have to provide?"

"I still have quite a few projects on hand!"

Shi Shi explained, "I bought dozens of IPs from XX company... they're definitely worth developing!"

“Times have changed,” Shen Yan waved his hand, “An artist can’t become famous with just his work… You’re not the kind of person who wants to become an entertainment tycoon, so rashly entering the artist management industry… I don’t think it’s a good idea!”

"So... I won't sign her?"

"I mean, do whatever you want..."

"I'll think about it myself!" ...

In the beginning, Tangren's production team behind the scenes was quite impressive.

Chen Gufang, who won the Golden Horse Award for Best Costume Design in 1987 for "A Chinese Ghost Story";

Liang Shengquan, former assistant director of Shaw Brothers films;

Song Xiaotao was nominated for Best Costume Design at the 44th Golden Horse Awards.
He Jiansheng, art director who worked at Shaw Brothers Studio for seven years.

They have been responsible for the pre-production and post-production of every TV series produced by Tangren Media since "Chinese Paladin". They are an indispensable and outstanding talent behind Tangren Media.

However, the impoverished Tang Dynasty couldn't retain so many talented people!

Around 2013, Tangren's go-to stylists Chen Gufang and Liang Shengquan were poached by H&R Century Pictures to serve as costume designer and director for H&R Century Pictures' first TV series, "Swords of Legends," respectively. The female lead was Yang Mi, whom Cai Yinong disliked.

Song Xiaotao also left Tangren Media and formed his own studio with He Jiansheng, which produced the highly acclaimed dramas "Eternal Love" and "Story of Yanxi Palace".

With the departure of many elders, the Tang dynasty suffered a severe blow.

Therefore, subsequent TV dramas were extremely unstable in both quality and quantity.

In addition, Wang Yi was appointed chairman...

Wang Yi may be a professional in the gaming field, but he has no experience in the film and television industry. Managing a large film and television production company would inevitably lead to some difficulties adapting to the local environment.

However, the period from 2011 to 2015 was a time of great leap forward for the film and television industry!

Tangren missed four years, which meant missing the opportune moment—the IPO opportunity.

The production concept is seriously outdated—it's 2019, and they're still making period dramas set in the Qing Dynasty…

It's called "Dreaming Back to the Qing Dynasty"!

With its time-travel trope and the power struggle among Kangxi's nine sons, it's practically a remake of "Scarlet Heart"...

The problem is, it's not as good as "Scarlet Heart"...

After Ah Li, Cai Yinong made a comeback, ushering in Tangren's 2.0 era. The company shifted its focus from ancient costume idol dramas to female-centric realistic dramas, choosing two modern urban dramas, "Perfect Partner" and "The Wife's Choice," one being Gao Yuanyuan's comeback work and the other being Sun Li's comeback work.

In 2022, "Perfect Partner" was broadcast, with a Douban rating of 5.2. It failed to spark public discussion about women and had low viewership.

In the same year, "The Wife's Choice" was broadcast, with a Douban rating of 5.7, and was similarly overshadowed by the market.

Sun Li…

That person who dances the Dai ethnic dance quite well!
A bunch of marketing accounts are saying, "Zhang Ziyi mentioned on television years ago that when she was at the Beijing Dance Academy, Sun Li often danced as the principal dancer, and Zhang Ziyi even seemed quite envious."

A dance king and a board king, they're practically birds of a feather!
In short, it will be very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to recreate its former glory...

As for Jin Chen…

Her advantages are: she is tall, has studied dance, and has a great figure, which allows for wide shots and long shots during filming, making dynamic scenes easier to film. Furthermore, she has a strong voice, so her lines are good and do not require dubbing.

The downside is that I always feel she's not sexually attractive enough...

Too thin!
Many people say sexy dealers are good…

To be honest, generally speaking...

The sexy model would be even more convincing if it were Dilraba or Meng Ziyi!

However, Shen Yan has known her for a long time…
