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

Chapter 180 Shanghai Film Festival (2/4)

Brother Hu is the absolute core of the "Xuan-Yuan Sword" crew.

At this moment, he is the real number one in Tangren!
He came to perform in a Tang Dynasty drama...

He is not the protagonist, but the villain?
Then the script has to be changed drastically!

In fact, the main focus of the game "Xuan-Yuan Sword" is not the romance, but the mythological and historical plot.

It is difficult for a TV series to reflect the heaviness and sense of fate of this game. Moreover, this series itself is based on tragedy, and there is a serious lack of emotional sweetness in the drama, making it unsuitable for adaptation into a historical romance drama.

I don't understand his intention in taking this role...

Oh, Shen Yan and Hu Ge met once—during the filming of "The Revolution of 1911"...

But Shen Yan belongs to Nobody, while Hu Ge is the No. 1 young actor in ancient costume...

Only a year has passed, and Shen Yan has become a popular star that everyone is paying attention to.

Shi Shi introduced Brother Hu, Shen Yan shook hands with him, exchanged a few simple pleasantries, and then left...

I didn’t see anyone else at all!
……

In the car, Shi Shi introduced Hu Ge's situation: "Lao Hu regards his salary as an investment. He took the second male lead because he wanted to transform. He felt that the role of Yuwentuo was difficult..."

"It's incomprehensible!" Shen Yan was speechless. "'Xuan-Yuan Sword' is a puppet show. In puppet shows, the audience doesn't care about acting, and neither do the industry... As long as you act, no one cares whether you have acting skills or not!"

"What does it matter?"

"Emotional scenes...male and female CP scenes..." Shen Yan remembered something and asked, "Are you going to transform?"

Shi Shi shook her head: "I haven't even settled on anything yet, where should I turn?"

Uh...that’s right!
Although Shi Shi is very popular now, people are not unanimous in their preferences for her roles. Some like Long Kui in "Chinese Paladin III", some like Yan Sanniang in "The Strange Hero Yizhimei", and some like the school beauty in the movie "Introduction to Architecture"...

Shen Yan hugged her and kissed her...

Shi Shi pushed him away, then remembered something: "By the way, I heard from Xiao Zhao that you were having a great time on the set of 'Fanhao'?"

"How to say?"

"She said that after filming every day you drink with a bunch of actors and play ball!"

"...I'm not the kind of person who likes drinking, so I just drink some beer...As for playing ball...that crappy place really doesn't have much entertainment!"

"She also said you were very close to a sister!"

"That's Yao Qianyu, my fellow villager... I only spoke to her a few words... How can you call that close?"

Shi Shi waved his fist: "Just be quiet!"

"I'm very honest, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way here."

Shi Shi pinched his thigh directly: "By the way, you don't write books anymore?"

"I'm writing!" Shen Yan nodded. "But don't worry. The first volume of 'The Swordsman in the Snow' has already been published... I plan to write fifteen volumes, and I only need to publish one volume every six months!"

Well, after careful consideration, I decided not to serialize "The Swordsman in the Snow" online, but to publish it directly from Moti!
Of course, the follow-up will also be serialized on Motie...

But that’s after publication.

Shi Shi pulled out her phone and said, "'Snow Swordsman'... I'll help you promote it!"

"Okay, thank you, wife!"

“…How are the sales?”

"It's sold 33 copies in just one week, and we estimate it will eventually sell 100 million copies!"

"Wow, a million copies!"

Shen Yan was speechless: "..."Return to the Ming Dynasty to Become a Prince" sold 2000 million copies..."

"Uh... I don't understand these things, anyway, I think you are awesome!"

"We'll talk about it later!"

"Say what?"

"You said I was awesome!" Shi Shi said nothing and pinched his waist again...

However, after that, she clamped her legs tightly together!

Well, the joy of fish and water...

……

This year’s Shanghai Film Festival… is very lively!

Even more lively than last year.

Rupert Murdoch and Wendy Deng; Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon; Matt Dillon and Jun Ji-hyun...

In addition, Wu Yusen, Feng Xiaogang, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Chen Kun, Zhang Yuqi, and Alan Tam: well-known directors and stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong, all attended the opening ceremony.

Wu Yusen... is here to show off and share his experience...

——Master class, Wu Yusen talks with Feng Xiaogang!
By the way, I am trying to attract investment for "1949" or "The Taiping"...

Let’s see which sucker would invest in a movie like this!

Fan Bingbing…the queen of the red carpet!
Li Bingbing walked the red carpet with Shen Yan and Chen Zhengdao once, and then accompanied Jun Ji-hyun once...

To promote "Beauty Inside" and "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" respectively.

By the way, Murdoch and Wendy Deng are also here to promote Snow Flower and the Secret Fan...

To be honest, the publicity about Wendi Deng is a bit too much. She is called "the most legendary Chinese woman!"

In fact, what she did was not much different from Tian Pujun!
The only difference is that Wendy Deng hooked up with Murdoch, the media tycoon, while Tian Pujun hooked up with Wang Tsuji...

Moreover, Tian Pujun is full of pretentiousness and has made a lot of weird remarks, such as the theory of aristocracy and my best male friend: Chen Kexin...

Another point: Tian Pujun's information is quite true: There's a famous joke about a boss who feels he's tired of his mistress and wants to dump her. His subordinates offer him a tip: send her to get an MBA! Sure enough, this mistress is the center of attention in her class, but most of the male classmates are cunning, only offering sex without any financial support. But one of them is hooked...

Someone lamented: Mr. Wang is the only one in our class who doesn’t snore when he sleeps!
Ahem, back to Wendy Deng...

He is now a successful person, a superior person!
Shen Yan still respects her...

But they didn't talk much. Li Bingbing briefly introduced Shen Yan, who said hello and then went to participate in the event...

He has a forum to attend this year...

The first event is titled 'Deciphering the High Box Office'!
He was just a guest in attendance: Yu Dong, "Let the Bullets Fly" producer Ma Ke, Sina Entertainment editor-in-chief Zhang Han, Chinese film box office expert Liu Jia, Shanghai Lianhe Cinema Line deputy general manager Wu Hehu, and "Asian Film Information" CEO Patrick. These six were the main guests...

It's mainly Marco's boasting, like "Let the Bullets Fly's promotional cycle lasted 19 months, with a promotional budget of 5000 million yuan. At the time, they placed a large number of hard ads in prime locations like Beijing Workers' Stadium, and booked LCD screens in buildings on the East Third Ring Road, reaching 2 million people. The goal was achieved."

"A film's production costs and publicity costs should be split equally. When it comes to publicity and marketing, we shouldn't spend money just for the sake of spending money!"

A group of people nodded frequently - you have box office, you are right!
Even Yu Dong didn't say anything.

After all, among the movies released by Bona last year, except for "The King of Guns", which had a box office of over 100 million yuan, the remaining "The Laughing Man" failed miserably during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Not only did it lose to "The Orphan of Zhao", it was also stepped on by "Back to 20"...

It didn’t even break 100 million!

This year was also terrible. The two movies, "How Women Want to Live" and "I Won't Let You Be Alone", also failed miserably at the box office!

However, their main movie this year, "The Inn of Fortune" was released on the same day as "The Beauty Inside"...

Sina Entertainment's editor-in-chief, Zhang Han, who was sort of a half-host, felt a headache after hearing all that bragging. He simply called out to Shen Yan: "Xiao Shen, how do you think the film industry can capture the market?"

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment: "...Me?"

"Yeah, the two movies you directed did really well at the box office... You should have done some market research, right?"

"I... didn't do much research on the market, I just looked at some data!"

"What data?"

“The age of the mainstream moviegoers…”
