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

Chapter 153 Wrap-up (3/4)

The person most stimulated by the popularity of "Palace" is... Cai Yinong!

Tangren initially wanted to make a Qing Dynasty drama and bought "Startling by Each Step". However, Yu Zheng was too fast and churned out "Palace" in just half a year. It was aired first and became a huge hit!

Became the first to try it.

Then, someone online asked Cai Yinong: What is the difference between "Palace" and "Startling by Each Step"...

Cai Yinong replied directly: The difference between pirated and genuine products!

Once these words were spoken, it was tantamount to a public break.

Yu Zheng is not someone to be trifled with either. He directly exposed Tangren's true colors, saying things like, "Tangren is just a shell company, they only take in money and never give out. Back then, Huayi paid for 'Young Warriors of the Yang Clan' and they produced it, but there were technical problems and it couldn't be broadcast even after it was sold. Huayi lost money, but they made a killing." He also said, "Do you know why 'The Clothes of the World' was renamed 'The Weaver Girl'? Because it couldn't sell, they had to re-edit it, and that's why they changed the name. The director of Tangren said the script was terrible and it was the worst show he had ever made. The TV station killed it after reviewing it!"

Oh, and there's also the fact that 'the director only put his name at the end of the film when filming for them, and even changed the agreed price to Hong Kong dollars to defraud the difference. I'm afraid a legitimate company wouldn't do this kind of thing!'

Cai Yinong became famous... and was also criticized as "an old, childless man in his forties with no children!"

Suddenly, I thought he was scolding Yi Zhonghai...

However, the unbroadcast "Scarlet Heart" also became famous!
Shen Yan watched the whole process and then said to Shi Shi, "In a sense, it's a good thing. 'Startling by Each Step' will become more famous, and it will be easier to sell the show!"

Shi Shi shook her head: "Old K has become famous this time..."

"She can take this opportunity to transform into an actress!"

"...You say that easily, but what would you do if I scolded you?"

"Why is he scolding me? I'm not acting in a Qing Dynasty drama!" Shen Yan waved his hands. "Besides, I think Cai Yinong's targeting of Yang Mi is completely unreasonable. She's an artist and should listen to the opinions of her agent and management team. Does she have the right to decide on her own whether to accept an endorsement?"

Oh, Yu Zheng also had a fight with Cai Yinong because of Yang Mi...

Cai Yinong said, "Dream of the Brink wanted Yang Mi to be the spokesperson, but then he took a higher-paying endorsement. I think her character is questionable!"

"I feel like you don't like Lao K?"

"I'm not a masochist!" Shen Yan was speechless: "She banned me before!"

Shi Shi blinked: "But you also kidnapped her trusted and beloved general!"

"That's true!"

Tangren's number one sister is gone...

Several key dramas of Tangren, such as "Startling by Each Step" and "The Desert Ballad"...

Shi Shi refused!

Cai Yinong was very angry, but she didn't say anything - she hadn't initially cast Shi Shi as the female lead in "Startling by Each Step." Later, when she wanted to, Shi Shi had already signed an acting contract for "Lotus Tower." As for "The Desert Ballad"...

Shi Shi firmly refused, and Cai Yinong also signed the actor contract for "The Call" - with a salary of 150 million!
Movies are definitely better than TV series, not to mention that the producer and screenwriter of "The Call" are both Shen Yan.

Tangren dramas definitely can’t compare!

Cai Yinong is indeed very good to Shi Shi...

There is no black on this!
The two chatted for a while about Cai Yinong and Yu Zheng, and Shi Shi suddenly asked, "Yang Mi has been invited to appear in 'Call'. How much is her salary?"

"Hey, 80~"

"so cheap?"

"It was before she became famous..." After thinking for a while, Shen Yan revealed that Ji Xiang had signed her to five film contracts...

"Five?"

"Hmm...I'm surprised too!"

"No, your company has five plays?"

"That's definitely not the case..." Shen Yan shook his head decisively: "There are only two dramas this year, 'My Girlhood' and 'Phone Call'!"

"...I heard you talk about 'Love Is Not Blind' a few days ago..."

"That's purely investment... no involvement in production!"

"So...sign another five-film contract?"

Shen Yan's expression was a little strange: "He said he could sell the film contract for a high price..."

Shi Shi was stunned: "Is this possible? Is it legal?"

“…I don’t know…it should be possible, right?”

Shen Yan really didn't know about this... Shi Shi changed the subject: "...After filming this movie, are you going back to your hometown?"

"Well, I'm going back to stay for a few days..."

"How many days?"

"At least a week... Then we'll meet up with the two directors of Girls' Generation to finalize the filming location..."

Shi Shi glanced at him and said, "Do you want me to go to your hometown with you?"

"…You want to go?"

"I can't do that. I have to go home and visit my relatives!"

Shen Yan was a little disappointed: "Then why are you asking!"

"Concern..."

"I still have to go to Hong Kong!"

“Why go to Hong Kong?”

"Invite Daniel Wu to guest-star as the adult Xu Taiyu!"

“Why Daniel Wu?”

Shen Yan took it for granted: "I am the younger version of Xu Taiyu. Who do you think can compare with me in appearance?"

"Didn't you say Jin Chengwu could do it?"

"He's too short!"

Well, the real reason was that Shen Yan couldn’t contact Jin Chengwu at all.

Daniel Wu is better, at least he is willing to develop in mainland China...

However, Shi Shi shook her head: "I think it would be best to ask Tong Dawei to play the adult Xu Taiyu!"

Shen Yan suddenly realized: "'Struggle'?"

"Correct!"

“…Okay, I’ll have Brother Ji Xiang contact Tong Dawei!”

……

Shen Yan and Shi Shi are now almost semi-public...

The crew of "Love Through the Millennium" didn't even arrange a room for Shi Shi - she and Shen Yan lived in the same suite!
It can’t be said that there was no arrangement. Shi Shi’s assistant lived alone in a small suite, and Shi Shi’s name was written on it.

——Later, Shishi’s parents came and the crew arranged a suite for her!
The relationship between the two also determined the filming schedule of "Love Through the Millennium"...

Shen Yan 'composed' five songs for this drama: "If I Can", "Four Seasons for You", "Close", "Steady Happiness" and "Hibernation". Well, all of them are love songs...

He only sang "If You Can" and "Steady Happiness" himself, and asked Yu Kewei to sing the other three songs...

By the way, I also bought the copyrights of more than a dozen songs, such as "Suddenly", "Cloudy Day", "He Doesn't Understand" and so on...

Anyway, song licensing is very cheap at this stage. It only cost less than 30 for a dozen songs!
The post-production is very expensive. "Flowers" cost more than 10 million...

We are now filming the final scene, in which Lin Xiangxiang and Gongming walk onto the bridge at the same time. They stare at the air opposite each other from a thousand years apart, and Gongming seems to see Lin Xiangxiang.

The clip where Gongming stood there, crying bitterly...

"Click! Passed!"

Liang Shengquan checked the monitor, looked around, and shouted, "'Love' is finished!"

"Wow!"

When this was said, everyone at the scene became very excited...

Finished!

The first month of the lunar year hasn’t even ended yet, hurry home and reunite with your family!
Yang Siwei held the loudspeaker and said, "Everyone, don't worry. Let's clean up the scene first... We'll send you money to go home later. Everyone, come one by one!"

"Thank you Sister Yang!"

Everyone responded and cleaned up the scene quickly...

There’s no need to have a wrap-up party, everyone is rushing home!
Same with Shen Yan...
