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

Chapter 239: No such thing! (4/4)

"We're going to collaborate with Jackie Chan?"

"No…"

As soon as they got in the car, Ji Xiang asked Shen Yan something he was speechless about: "Where did you hear that?"

Ji Xiang asked tentatively: "But I see you and Jackie Chan are having a very pleasant chat..."

“…I can have a pleasant conversation with anyone if I want to.”

Shen Yan casually replied, then noticed Ji Xiang's expression: "You're not going to tell anyone that I'm going to work with Jackie Chan, are you?"

“…I just chatted for a few minutes!”

"Fuck, who did you tell that?"

"Jingtian!"

"That's okay," Shen Yan was immediately relieved: "Tiantian is very simple and shouldn't say anything nonsense. I'll give her a call!"

"...and the few people sitting next to him..."

The person sitting next to her...

Shen Yan recalled that it seemed to be someone from Wanda...

He swallowed and asked, "What did you say?"

"Just a few casual chats..."

"No, brother, what were you talking about?"

"I was saying that those movies he made with Stanley Tong seemed grand and impressive, but in reality they were rubbish. The plots were a mess, and the only attraction was Jackie Chan's desperate scenes..."

"anything else?"

"From what we said in private, his team is no good, the editing is no good, the directing is no good, and the soundtrack is abysmal. There's nothing like the earth-shattering soundtrack of "Project A"—the kind of soundtrack that let go of the ideal of dominating the film industry—anymore..."

This is indeed what Shen Yan said in a private chat with Ji Xiang...

In fact, it's not just Jackie Chan, it's Stephen Chow too. Their entire behind-the-scenes team has experienced too much turnover over the years.

The scene design of "The Mermaid" was instantly crushed by the delicate feeling of "Kung Fu", as well as the music and photography.

However, Jackie Chan did not shift the blame in his interview. He believed that it was because he was old that the audience did not like to watch him.

Actually, that’s true. He is the only core of Jackie Chan’s movies!
Shen Yan rolled his eyes at him: "Even if I said it, you can't just tell anyone else!"

“…Don’t worry, there won’t be a next time!”

"It better be this way!"

Shen Yan waved his hand, and then received a call from Jing Tian. The first thing he said was, "Are you going to work with Jackie Chan? Can you give me a role? Even a supporting role is fine!"

“No, my schedule is already full.”

"No way, I heard from your agent that the script has been written and they are looking for a director..."

"...Wait a minute!" Shen Yan took the phone down, held it in his hand, and asked Ji Xiang, "You said I've already written the script?"

“…They said they could invest 300 million!”

"I have invested 3 billion yuan, and I don't even have a script... Don't talk nonsense!" Shen Yan scolded him, and then explained to Jing Tian...

After about five minutes, I hung up the phone...

Jing Tian is currently filming "Shadow Lover" and "New Mom Love Me Again"...

Shadow Lover was produced by Stanley Kwan and starred by Cheung Pak Chi, Kwon Sang Woo and Chang Shao Han.

"New Mom Love Me Again", directed by Korean director Kim Se-hoon, is a remake of "Mom Love Me Again"...

They are all quite heavyweight works!

Shen Yan wishes her good luck...

Shen Yan had no impression of these two works...

Even if it is not a bad movie, it is most likely a mediocre movie with ineffective performance!
Seeing that Shen Yan didn't say anything for a long time, Ji Xiang asked cautiously: "Is it really impossible for us to cooperate with Jackie Chan?"

"...How can we collaborate?" Shen Yan asked back, "You know that in Jackie Chan's movies, the main character is only Jackie Chan!"

"In 'Little Big Soldier', Wang Leehom also has quite a few scenes."

"That's the exception..."

"Little Big Soldier" is indeed an exception. It was originally starred by Sammo Hung and Fang Zumin...

It's a two-person show!
Ji Xiang whispered, "Actually, there are many benefits to working with Jackie Chan...it can quickly reach the world!" "I tell you, there's no need for mainland actors to go global...our roots are in mainland China, so what's the point in going global?"

"…But with a 300 million yuan investment, don't you want to give it a try?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "Forget it, Jackie Chan has no shortage of roles, and neither do I..."

……

There is really no need to cooperate with Jackie Chan.

Shen Yan gradually formed his own brand of works - all the works he participated in could be labeled with a line of words "Shen Yan's Works!"

Jackie Chan has already formed his own IP.

The creative core and selling point of all his works is Jackie Chan!
This is conflicting.

Unless Shen Yan or Jackie Chan are willing to sacrifice...

But why?

Shen Yan has no plans to go international for the time being...

Otherwise, you can just accept the invitation of Hollywood movies...

——Recently, he has been offered roles in several Hollywood movies. Although there are big projects, such as "G.I. Joe" and "After Earth", they are basically small supporting roles... He decisively rejected them.

According to normal thinking, you go to Hollywood for a cameo appearance, export it and sell it domestically, and when you come back, you will immediately become an international superstar.

Shen Yan truly felt that being a so-called international superstar was meaningless...

Zhang Ziyi has always been known as an international superstar, but in the eyes of the audience, she has no influence at all...

……

After returning to the hotel, Shen Yan received a call from Yang Siwei.

"No, I don't have any idea of making a big production..."

"Ji Xiang has a big mouth..."

Yang Siwei was also trying to persuade him, but her tone…as if Shen Yan could write a great script at any time, highlighting Jackie Chan while also ensuring his own role…

Shen Yan was a little speechless: "...Where can I get such an awesome script for you?"

"You believe me? I'm not a god!"

Yang Siwei whispered, "We've been doing small things and keeping costs low...it doesn't make much sense!"

"No, how do you think it's meaningful? We made nearly 100 million from our two movies...isn't that enough?"

"I mean a blockbuster movie with an investment of over 100 million!"

"...It's very simple. Next time, give me a salary of 9000 million!"

"I can't argue with you..." Yang Siwei said, "I just feel this is a good opportunity. Jackie Chan wants to transform..."

"Let's talk about it later... I'm just a young star who made my debut with youth films... You don't have to think too highly of me!" Shen Yan changed the subject: "How's 'The Phone' going?"

"Everything is going well," Yang Siwei said, "We'll probably be done in a week!"

"That's good!"

"How are you going to explain to Shishi the necklace Jingtian gave you?"

"I'm going to give it to her!"

"Haha, the beautiful lady gave you something, and you gave it to your girlfriend..."

"She's thanking me... I can't make sense to you. I'm hanging up!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan immediately called Shi Shi's cell phone. Shi Shi's first question was, "Are you going to work with Jackie Chan?"

"No, where did that rumor come from? I don't even know!"

Sohu Entertainment reported...

"I just clinked glasses with him..." Shen Yan was speechless: "By the way, Jing Tian bought a necklace. I was planning to buy it myself, but the price went up to 65, so I didn't want to buy it anymore. Jing Tian bought it..."

"A Tiffany necklace worth 70?"

"Yes, that one!"

Shi Shi on the other end of the phone suppressed a laugh: "That was bought for you."

"Sister, the pink necklace..."
