Chapter 241 Casting (1/4)

"It's not an important role, just a supporting role..."

"But this is Andy Lau's movie!"

"Andy Lau has also starred in a lot of bad movies..." Shen Yan was a little confused: "And the audience's attention won't be on her!"

Shi Shi directly asked, "Is 'The Accidental Murder' a bad movie?"

"That's definitely not the case. I wrote the script myself..."

"For a newcomer, working with Andy Lau in their first film is such a great opportunity!"

Hearing Shi Shi say this, Shen Yan was a little surprised: "You actually know all this..."

"What's the big deal?" Shi Shi said, "Old K told me a lot of things!"

"…What happened? Did she give you shares?"

"I gave you a little... only 3%..."

"That's too little..." Shen Yan was a little unhappy: "Without 30%, you are not considered a shareholder!"

"30%...Old K only has about points of shares..."

"That's because Cai Yinong is incompetent. Look at me. I own 70% of my studio!"

“But I’m an artist…”

"Take your time. Learn more from Yang Siwei and become a producer...an investor, or something like that."

"Hmm..." Shi Shi continued, "Then when you're casting, give Old K some respect!"

Shen Yan smiled and said, "Old K, you don't need me to give you face. 'Scarlet Heart' is very popular!"

"What's the point? The main actors in 'Scarlet Heart' are all outsiders..."

Shi Shi rambled on and on about a lot of things...

Shen Yan listened patiently and then hung up the phone.

……

After the premiere of "Startling by Each Step", it sparked a phenomenal discussion...

When the drama premiered on Hunan Satellite TV, despite missing the summer prime time slot and airing late, its premiere ratings still reached 1.72%, and it has long been ranked first in the ratings of satellite TV stations in the same time slot nationwide...

And the long tail effect is done very well.

Subsequent replays and online broadcasts have surpassed "Palace Lock Heart Jade"...

Most importantly, the main actors have collectively experienced a resurgence in popularity: Qiao Zhenyu, who played the Fourth Master, has ushered in a second spring in his career, and Tang Yan's "Ruoxi" has become a classic role. Zheng Jiaying, Yuan Hong, Lin Gengxin, etc. have also seen their popularity soar due to their deeply rooted roles...

The industry also gave it high praise, with comments like, "The costumes and etiquette in the play are exquisite, and the historical details are rigorous."

In contrast, "Palace" has been criticized in many ways.

Like "I don't know any etiquette at all," "All the princes in the court love me!" - many people say it's a costume version of "Meteor Garden," giving it a title: "Let's Visit the Imperial Garden Together"...

In fact, the positioning of "Palace" is a refreshing drama!
It is a very qualified fast food literature.

"Startling by Each Step" is a drama that deliberately tries to make itself less enjoyable. In the core of the drama, it has to be wrapped in a "literary" coat of "reality, seriousness, and thinking"... to express that "it is not a vulgar story, but a story with connotation."

At first glance, it does have connotations...

But after a while, you will find that the heroine is very hypocritical...

You all know the direction of history. Why don't you just bet on Yongzheng? He had to create an affair with the Eighth Prince.

Then he jumped between the princes of different factions, and whenever any prince got into trouble, he would plead for them, making himself sick...

The key point is that no prince loved her that much, or that she was indispensable. She was demoted to the laundry department for ten years, and everyone else didn't bother to pursue their careers without their wives and concubines...

The heroine seems very important, but in fact, with or without her, it doesn't hinder the princes from fighting for the throne...

Of course, neither of these two dramas can compare to "Love Through the Millennium", which was aired on Tianjin Satellite TV and Shenzhen Satellite TV in prime time for the second round...

And it has been exported to Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines and South Korea...

In addition, "Love Through the Millennium" won the "Most Popular Overseas TV Series" award at the Seoul International Television Festival in South Korea, and Shen Yan also won the "Most Popular Actor in Asia" award for his role as Gong Ming in the drama.

However, "Startling by Each Step" can be considered as a work that Tangren has produced in recent years!
The online broadcast rights for "Scarlet Heart" cost over 2000 million... Tang Yan also rose to top stardom thanks to "Scarlet Heart"...

Although, she is not as good as Yang Mi and Liu Shishi - the latter two have already made a name for themselves in the film industry!

……

The next day, Shen Yan attended the premiere of "Painted Wall"...

He has a cooperative relationship with Light Media, and "Painted Skin" is Light Media's blockbuster film for the National Day this year, so we must support it!
Honestly, after watching the 20-minute video...

I feel this play is boring!

The core of the plot is nothing more than an interpretation of the concept of love...

The key plot arrangement is boring...

Chen Jiashang is really at his wit's end. After the success of "Painted Skin", he followed up with "Painted Wall"...

Adding a poor imitation to a work is an inevitable fate in the film and television industry.

Liaozhai is a book of strange stories, and its original name is "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

The so-called "zhiyi" means to record strange and bizarre things...

"Painted Wall" has nothing to do with "Painted Skin"!
And the costume design... I guess it was directly taken from the neighboring "3Dyu Pudan"...

However, during the interview, Shen Yan still said "blessings", something like "I hope it will be a big hit at the box office" - he didn't mention the movie itself at all...

Ji Xiang asked quietly, "Do you think there's something wrong with 'Painted Wall'?"

“…Is there any problem that is none of my business?”

"Then why don't you review the movie?"

"...Are you free?" Shen Yan changed the subject: "If you are free, please help me find an executive producer."

"I'm almost too busy..." Ji Xiang quickly refused, then asked curiously, "Are we in need of a producer?"

"I want a producer who can handle everything on his own and manage an entire crew..."

“I’m already recruiting people…”

"Try your best... If that doesn't work, recruit some young people and train them yourself!"

"Let me think about it..." Ji Xiang nodded.

Shen Yan then asked, "Has the casting for 'The Accidental Murder' not been completed yet?"

"Why do you care?"

"...Shishi called and said Cai Yinong wanted to send someone..."

"You didn't agree?"

"How could I possibly agree... Tell me the situation!"

“…We’ve chosen three, but haven’t decided on the final one yet…”

Shen Yan glanced at him and asked directly, "Who gave the most benefits?"

Ji Xiang replied subconsciously: "There is currently someone named Liu Erfei... How do you know I'm asking for benefits?"

"Who are you? How could I not know you?" Shen Yan forced himself not to complain: "Don't delay the normal filming, acting skills are still very important!"

"Of course I know," Ji Xiang nodded, then asked, "Should we become artist managers?"

"What's wrong? Did you see any good seedlings?"

"On the one hand," Ji Xiang confessed, "but we have a lot of projects, there's no need to give them away cheaply to outsiders!"

Shen Yan said bluntly: "I...anyway, I don't have any idea about artist management, but if you want to do it, I can invest some money..."

"why?"

"I'm not interested in being a babysitter! It's hard enough making myself famous!"
