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

Chapter 203: Coming to our mainland to beg for food? (Updated on 5/30 by the leader)

"Is the dinner party... crowded?"

“…Okay, two or three…”

Shen Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "Send me the address first, I'll see how far it is..."

"... "

Yang Siwei told him the address. Shen Yan asked the driver and learned that it would take half an hour. He nodded and said, "We'll be there in half an hour. Order me some fried rice. I'm starving..."

"OK…"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan took out a box of yogurt and a bag of biscuits from his bag in the back seat...

——The cookies are what Shishi left over.

Brother Yan doesn’t like eating cookies very much, they are too sweet!

But now he is very hungry, so he needs to fill his stomach...

I didn't eat properly during the whole day of the magazine shoot, and only ate an apple...

For Shen Yan, it is definitely not enough.

Oh, he doesn't care whose dinner it is...

There have been quite a few similar dinners recently, either with investors or someone’s agent…

To him, it's all the same.

The purpose is nothing more than to invest in his movies or ask him to take care of newcomers...

Shen Yan’s attitude is always 'Let’s talk about it next time'!
Logically speaking... there have been fewer and fewer dinners requiring his presence lately - after all, his public image is that he's not good at socializing and dealing with the social world...

Well, I've made it through, and I don't really want to be like before...

You have to know that being in the circle is very energy-consuming.

He is very busy and has no time to waste on these things.

So, he is a little out of tune with the entire domestic entertainment industry...

Look at Ning Hao and Xu Zheng. After they became famous, they actively tried to get closer to the circle. Ning Hao even made a guest appearance in "Old Cannon" and helped Feng Xiaogang carry the sedan chair!

Xu Zheng also guest-starred in "Ash Is Purest White"...

This is called helping each other!

The film and television industry is a circle. If you stay in it, you have to enter. If you don't enter, this circle will not accept you...

Brother Yan doesn't care...

Anyway, in the end, what matters to the film and television industry is the work...

He has no shortage of works!
Uh... back to the dinner...

Shen Yan was quite curious, who could it be?
……

It's a woman... around forty years old, quite thin...

As soon as Shen Yan opened his mouth, he knew he was Taiwanese!
Full of Taiwanese accent...

"Hello, I'm Chai Zhiping!"

"…Hello…"

Shen Yan sat down and asked Yang Siwei, "Where's the fried rice?"

“…Here!”

Shen Yan took the spoon and ate it directly, saying, "I'm starving... I'll eat first, you guys can just chat..."

Of course he knew who Chai Zhiping was, he was a hit in idol dramas!
In his opinion, a nobody with no reputation...

How should I put it… In the era he can remember, all Taiwanese artists were not very famous…

The so-called idol drama yeast is a term from the last century!

So, he subconsciously thought, "This stinky Taiwanese guy has come to our mainland to beg for food!"

If that's the case, why bother with her?

"Brother Yan is really different from ordinary people..."

Chai Zhiping praised her dryly, but Shen Yan ignored her...

He was busy eating - he plunged into the pile of vegetables like a high monk, devouring everything in his path, and from then on he was no longer concerned with worldly matters.

Or perhaps he had the ancient style of a gentleman, who ate without talking, slept without talking, and focused on his work. Yang Siwei helped explain: "Brother Yan is a little hungry... He's been shooting for a magazine all day and hasn't eaten anything..."

“…So that’s how it is…” Chai Zhiping smiled and said, “When I was working on Meteor Garden, Zhu Xiaotian was like that too!”

Yang Siwei complimented: "Meteor Garden is really popular all over Asia..."

"Lucky... I caught up..."

"After that, 'Devil Beside You' and 'Turning Point Love' were not just luck!"

“The main thing is that we already have experience…”

Chai Zhiping started chatting with Yang Siwei...

Shen Yan continued to eat...

Never said a word!

"We've produced a preview film called 'You Are the Apple of My Eye,' a youth film... I know you guys also make youth films... and you have experience in mainland China, so I'd like to hand it over to you for management..."

Finally down to business!
Chai Zhiping and Giddens collaborated to create "Those Years", which caused a sensation in Taiwan.

The box office exceeded NT$100 million in four days after its release. Later, it was released in Hong Kong, surpassing "Kung Fu Hustle" and setting a new record for the box office of Chinese-language films.

Chai Zhiping wants to replicate the miracle...

You need to find someone who knows about this!
After some research, I found that the person who is best at marketing youth films in mainland China is Shen Yan.

Then she came to find Shen Yan!
Yang Siwei glanced at Shen Yan, who was sipping tea and had no intention of responding. After a moment's thought, she said, "The distribution and promotion of Taiwanese films has always been the responsibility of China Film Group Corporation. Mr. Chai... I'm afraid we can't help you with this!"

"I mean you buy the copyright and then run it..."

"I'm full..." Shen Yan put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "We are a film and television production company and are not responsible for film marketing or distribution..."

“This is ‘Those Years’!”

Shen Yan waved his hand: "If it's a declaration of return, I can help for free... Forget about the rest!"

Hearing Shen Yan's words, Chai Zhiping's face changed slightly, and he forced a smile: "Let's not talk about politics."

Shen Yan waved his hand: "What's there to talk about? I won't even participate in the Golden Horse Awards... You want to come to the mainland to develop and contribute to the construction of our spiritual civilization, I don't care... But we are not on the same path..."

Chai Zhiping was a little angry: "...I feel like you have misunderstood me!"

"What misunderstanding..." Shen Yan said what was in his heart: "Aren't you just coming to our mainland to beg for food? You can't even sing a lotus flower, and you still want me to welcome you?"

“…Ahem…” Yang Si interrupted him: “If you’ve finished eating, go ahead!”

"To be honest, you all don't want to hear it, so I'm leaving..."

Shen Yan stood up, opened the door of the private room, and left the hotel directly...

……

Chai Zhiping…his ability is just so-so!
"Meteor Garden" was a big hit back then, so she created her own boy band - K-One!
Debuting as a junior member of F4, a band that was popular all over China at the time, K-One has a youthful and energetic style, starring in idol dramas and releasing singing and dancing albums, aiming to attract young female fans.

Chai Zhiping poured all his resources into K-Boy...

Then, after three years of activities, K-One disbanded...

This boy band didn’t make it!

Later, I kept promoting Guan Hong, but it was of no use.

As for why her artists can always appear in film and television dramas?
— The Beijing Times reported that Chai Zhiping bribed Taiwanese artists to get more roles in Chinese dramas.

So, Song Yunhua replaced Mary and starred in "The Richest Man in Xihong City"...

If it weren't for the CCTV "Unforgettable" sales case, her behavior would probably have become even more arrogant.

She is a typical person who relies on capital to snatch resources from mainland actors!
Shen Yan definitely doesn't have a good impression of her...

"Don't introduce this kind of person to me next time. I don't even want to get to know her!"

When Yang Siwei called, Shen Yan directly said...

"Then they said they wanted to get to know each other, I didn't know you hated them!"

"Now I know..."

"...I checked out 'Those Years,' and it's really good at the box office and has received good reviews!"

"So what? I still say the same thing. If she doesn't even want to sing a lotus flower, I don't even bother to pay attention to her!"
