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

Chapter 136 This is called socializing (24)

On December 12rd, Shen Yan returned to BJ... and attended the premiere of "The Orphan of Zhao" with Ji Xiang and Wen Zhang...

In the car, Shen Yan asked curiously, "Are we related to Director Chen?"

"...It doesn't matter. We just received an invitation from Huang Xiaoming..."

"Brother Wen Zhang too?"

Wen Zhang nodded: "Yes, Brother Xiaoming sent me an invitation, and I just happened to be staying in BJ recently..."

Huang Xiaoming?
Shen Yan was a little confused...

He and Huang Xiaoming had only met a few times and had never even had dinner together.

What are you looking for?

Could it be that he wanted Shen Yan to write a domineering CEO to satisfy his own desires?
It’s not impossible. At the beginning of the year, “Summer’s Desire” was criticized by many people...

There's no way around it, the three main actors (Huang Xiaoming, Peter Ho and Big S) are about 100 years old in total...

Seriously over the age limit!

A youth idol drama for middle-aged people...

Brother Xiao Ming... is too greasy, with that shamatte hood, the eye-catching lipstick, the devilish and crazy smile, and of course the arrogant eyes...

There are also various dirty talk and erotic ear biting...

It's so shameful!
While the heroine is in love with the second male lead, she is always entangled with the male lead.

Then, the three of them performed another outrageous move.

For example, the second male lead kissed the female lead in front of the male lead, exchanged greasy saliva, and suddenly bit the female lead's lips - he really bit her lips!

It feels like they don't care about the lives of the audience at all!

The only good thing about this drama is that it only has 26 episodes.

After "Summer's Desire", "The Orphan of Zhao"... his acting was pretty good. Could it be that he wanted to reward himself again?

There's a joke going around online: After Huang Xiaoming's acting stuns in a movie, he'll reward himself with a film about a domineering CEO...

The more Shen Yan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he asked directly: "Brother Xiao Ming asked me to write a script for him about a domineering CEO?"

Ji Xiang was stunned for a moment: "What?"

“…It’s like an idol drama like Summer’s Desire!”

Ji Xiang was puzzled: "Why do you have such an idea?"

"I feel like he really likes this kind of drama, and he also likes acting in this kind of drama..."

“…You have such a script?”

"Idol dramas are very simple. The routines are all set, and the love goes back and forth..."

Wen Zhang shook his head and said, "I recently watched 'Secret Garden', the one about body swapping. That one was quite interesting!"

"Well, body swapping is a great idea. We could also make the male protagonist an alien, one with special abilities, and also make him unable to touch the saliva and blood of Earthlings... This abstinence-based approach would allow for even more fantasy!"

Ji Xiang complained: "...Aliens? What kind of setting is that?"

"What a weird setting?" Shen Yan was speechless: "Wait until I finish writing the script... then you can tell me!"

The article was curious: "Are you going to do an idol drama too?"

Shen Yan sighed: "At my age, there are really not many types of roles I can play..."

"That's right," Wen Zhang nodded. "You're only 22 years old this year, so there's more to come!"

"Brother Wen Zhang, when will 'Fruit Marriage Era' be released?"

"Next June..."

"Then my 'Lotus Tower' can only be released in July!" Wen Zhang advised: "You should shoot fewer costume dramas. There is a ban on ancient costume dramas now!"

“…but there are too few modern dramas that suit me!”

"At your age, you're either going to play the protagonist's younger brother or the protagonist's son... You should just focus on making movies!" Wen Zhang continued, "That '20 Again' did pretty well at the box office!"

“…major cinema chains are willing to schedule it!”

Ji Xiang interjected, "No matter how much we're willing to schedule a screening, the film itself has to be a hit... I heard from Gao Jun of the New Film Association that our film 'Back to 20' could make over 2000 million today!"

“…That’s impossible! ‘The Laughing Man’ has Xiao Shenyang and Zhao Benshan!”

The article shook his head: "...useless...it must be a bad movie. Zhu Yanping can't make a good movie anymore!"

Ji Xiang said, "Bona went all out this time. To promote 'Laughing Jianghu,' they specially produced one million copies of 'Jianghu Express' and distributed them to major cinemas nationwide... Furthermore, Bona partnered with Qiangui KTV nationwide to promote Xiao Shenyang's two promotional songs, 'Laughing Jianghu,' and 'Jianghu, Jianghu.' Using the songs to promote the film, it achieved excellent results!"

By the way, I would like to add: "'Let Me Stay By Your Side', 'It's You' and 'Beyond the Sky' are too high-brow... which affects their popularity!"

"... "

Shen Yan was speechless...

After all, "Laughing Jianghu" is indeed a divine song. "I hold the meteor crescent knife in my hand, shouting loud slogans. Who in front of me says his name? If you have the ability, don't run away~"

The main feature is that it is catchy!
Songwriter Gao Jin is truly amazing; his music is incredibly popular and appeals to most people...

"My Good Brother", "Just Met You", "We Are Different", "Missing Youth"...

Some people say he is unsophisticated, well, he is indeed quite unsophisticated!

Many people say that when it comes to musical aesthetics, politically speaking, there is no high or low. You like highbrow music, and I like lowbrow music. No one is superior to the other; we are all equal.

But the truth is, those who like highbrow literature will find lowbrow literature vulgar, while those who like lowbrow literature will find highbrow literature pretentious.

Neither of them is convinced by the other.

But there is one thing we must admit, the difficulty and complexity of the production of high-brow literature is indeed much higher than that of low-brow literature.

When you listen to Jolin Tsai’s songs, regardless of whether the songs are good or not, you can smell the money. The effects used in the arrangements are all paid, and they are very expensive!
But when you listen to songs by online singers, the tones in the songs are all basic...

So, don’t ever say that there is no distinction between high and low in music – there really is!

……

Arriving at the premiere...

Director Chen is undoubtedly the center of attention.

"Making this film is about following the stories of the past and looking at the harmony and understanding of today. If Chinese films want to make further progress, they must transform and upgrade. This film is a reflection of mine."

"The entire film industry is booming now, but there are risks behind it. It only emphasizes speed, box office, and numbers, with overwhelming publicity and various packaging. Should we consider sustainable development and put the quality of the film first, rather than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs?"

Well, Director Chen gave an impromptu speech!

The media, reporters, and audience members in the audience were very respectful and applauded while listening to him talk about "The Orphan of Zhao"...

To be honest, after "The Promise" and "Mei Lanfang", Director Chen's career has been declining!

Including "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain"...

It feels like the Overlord coming out of Gaixia. No matter how hard he fights to reverse the decline, every step is only getting closer to the Wujiang River!

It really doesn’t keep up with the times!

Regardless of market judgment or personal aesthetics...

The former is still okay, but the latter is really hopeless!
However, the most popular person among the media is still Ge Da Ge.

Ge Da Ge starred in three dramas during the Lunar New Year holiday this year, including "The Orphan of Zhao", "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are the One 2"...
