Rose Manor

Chapter 352 Pay the price

During the Spring Festival, "The Banquet at the West Palace" was released in major theaters across the country. It stood out among several New Year comedies and gained a lot of attention.

On the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Jianian watched the movie again in the cinema. The people accompanying her were Bai Changxia and Zhao Shunyi.

Bai Changxia held a huge bucket of popcorn in one hand and three cups of milk tea in the other. Looking at the two women wearing hats and masks next to him, he shrugged and said helplessly: "Why should I not think about going out to watch a movie with two female stars?" ?”

Zhao Shunyi helped her get the popcorn, and then pointed to Shen Jianian next to her: "Don't get involved with me. To be honest, she is more popular than me now. Even when I called her on Weibo, I was suspected of gaining popularity!"

Thanks to the popularity of "A Banquet at the West Palace", Shen Jia Nian is now as popular as A-list actresses and is recognized wherever she goes, proving once again that director Wang Kelun's works are indeed popular. It is no exaggeration to say that "Lun Girl" can enjoy dividends for decades.

Shen Jianian, who was flanked by the two, blinked his exposed eyes and took a cup of milk tea from Bai Changxia: "Isn't it okay if I treat you to a big dinner after the movie is over?"

In order to avoid being recognized and causing riots, Bao Changxia did all the shopping, while Zhao Shunyi was responsible for watching and listening in all directions and acting as a bodyguard for Shen Jia Nian.

When they heard that Shen Jia Nian was going to treat him, Bai Changxia and Zhao Shunyi looked at each other and high-fived each other, expressing their satisfaction.

The three women were like wanted criminals, sneaking into the screening room at the opening time of the movie.

The lights in the hall had been extinguished. With the light on the screen, they found a seat and sat down, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Changxia twisted his neck and glanced around: "This attendance rate is a bit scary. Every seat has been bought, and the box office has left 50 billion yuan."

As an insider, Zhao Shunyi took a breath, turned his head, looked past Shen Jianian in the middle, and looked at Bai Changxia: "Why don't you exaggerate a little more, 50 billion, how is it possible? After all, the subject matter is limited, how can it be possible?" Two to three billion would be amazing."

Bai Changxia is more concerned about one thing: "Jianian, as an important role in the movie, do you get any box office dividends?"

"No." Shen Jianian took a sip of milk tea through a straw, "The contract I signed stated a fixed remuneration, which was paid into my account a long time ago."

"How much?" Bai Changxia was curious.

Shen Jianian counted the numbers with his fingers, and Bai Changxia swallowed. That was a lot.

"But I've spent it all."

"What did you buy?"

Shen Jianian raised his left hand, with the back of his hand facing Bai Changxia, but Bai Changxia didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Shen Jia Nian bent her ring finger, wearing a wedding ring with a circle of tiny diamonds inlaid in the middle. It was not as exaggerated as the previous diamond ring, simple and beautiful.

"I customized a pair of wedding rings." Shen Jianian turned his hand over and took a look at it, "Although it hurts a little when the money is spent, I am still very happy and satisfied when I see the real thing."

"No! Did you buy the wedding rings for you and Boss Fu?" Zhao Shunyi was shocked, "Shouldn't Boss Fu prepare it?"

Bai Changxia nodded, agreeing with her thoughts.

Shen Jianian said: "He bought the engagement ring. I thought it was too exaggerated for daily wear, so I suggested buying a simpler wedding ring, so we went to choose this one. I wanted to give him a gift, so... I'll pay for it. Money.”

Bai Changxia gave her a thumbs up to express his admiration.

The movie was about to start, so the three of them kept silent and concentrated on watching the movie.

Both Bai Changxia and Zhao Shunyi were watching it for the first time and were particularly attentive. Shen Jia Nian had already watched it once and would still have a different experience watching it again.

Moreover, she made a new discovery. Yin Dai, played by Tong Yan, had almost no role, and the content shown in the movie was much less than what was shot in reality. Except for two important scenes, all other scenes of Tong Yan were deleted.

Two hours passed by in a flash. Both Bai Changxia and Zhao Shunyi were so fascinated by the sight that they even forgot to eat the popcorn they bought.

Zhao Shunyi even changed his words: "I underestimated Lao Wang's strength. Maybe it will really exceed 5 billion!"

The three of them came out of the cinema. Shen Jianian searched for nearby restaurants on his mobile phone.

The Spring Festival has just passed, and everything is decorated with lanterns and colorful lights. It snowed two days ago, and now you can still see piles of snow on the treetops and roofs.

Bai Changxia suddenly stopped while walking, with his index and middle fingers together, like a sword, pointing directly at Shen Jianian's chest, with a cold expression, imitating King Zhe's tone in the movie, and said to her: "In the past, I only knew your Qin. You are very skilled, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see your swordsmanship today."

Shen Jia Nian was stunned.

Zhao Shunyi immediately understood that Bai Changxia was restoring the last scene of the movie - Ruoyu's undercover identity was revealed and she faced off with King Zhe in the forest.

"Another one is crazy." A passerby who had watched the movie passed by and happened to witness Bai Changxia's actions and whispered to his companions. Zhao Shunyi laughed.

*

Based on the online word-of-mouth ranking, Shen Jianian found a Chinese restaurant with high ratings, which happened to be near the cinema, so he abandoned the car and walked there.

Online reviews said that this restaurant was slow to serve food. Sure enough, after sitting down and waiting for a long time, not a single dish was served. The three of them drank tea and talked about movies.

Bai Changxia was too poisoned. He grabbed Shen Jianian's arm and stared at her without blinking: "Who would have thought that the killer Ruoyu would be sitting next to me!"

Shen Jia Nian took a sip of tea and calmly corrected her: "I'm Shen Jia Nian, thank you."

Bai Changxia couldn't listen and acted like a crazy fan: "No, you are Ruoyu! Let me ask you, did you die after being shot by King Zhe in the end?"

Shen Jianian did not want to ruin the tone of the film and did not give her a clear answer: "Open ending. If you think she dies, she will die. If you think she will survive, she will live."

When he thought that Ruoyu would die, Bai Changxia couldn't accept it: "You must still be alive. Your martial arts are so powerful, how could you die after being hit by an arrow!"

Zhao Shunyi spoke leisurely, bursting the bubble of her fantasy: "But that arrow hit Ruoyu in the back of the heart, an arrow pierced the heart, how could he survive. If you think about King Zhe's character, he will let the tiger go back to the mountain, Can you survive in this world with a threat like Ruoyu?"

Bai Changxia: "..."

Bai Changxia stopped talking to them. He took out his mobile phone and searched for Allies on Weibo. He clicked on the hot search and saw several movie-related entries.

Since the day of its premiere, the discussion of "A Banquet at the West Palace" has remained high.

"Those who said that Shen Jia-Nian's fighting scenes were not even watched before without watching the movie, come out and apologize! Senior film critic Wu Guofeng praised Shen Jia-Nian's fighting scenes and acting skills. Why, you are more appreciative than Senior Wu Your abilities are awesome!"

"To be fair, my eyes lit up when I saw Shen Jia Nian in the cinema. She was dressed in black and the sword was almost as wide as her waist. She was so neat when she played. There was also the scene of playing the pipa. In the cinema, there was a gasp, everyone was shocked."

"Don't say it, don't say it. There is something about Lao Wang's casting. As soon as Shen Jia Nian stood there, the sense of story in her eyes was almost through the screen. I doubt she has really been a killer, hahaha."

"When I think about my sister publicly saying that she will no longer act, I feel a heavy loss and I feel like I can't find a meal replacement. I also want to see her challenge different roles and interpret different lives. Alas, it's a pity..."

"There is a saying called 'live and see you for a long time'. Maybe one day we will be able to wait until she comes out again."

"Actually, it's quite remarkable to have such a masterpiece in my life."

"There was a lot of discussion about this movie on the Internet. I went to the cinema to see it with the idea of ​​finding out. All I can say is that it has to be Wang Kelun. Every frame captured is absolutely beautiful."

"I was watching well from the beginning, but I was stabbed in the last scene. Lao Wang really has you!"

Bai Changxia looked through the comments, replied one by one, and had a heated discussion with his friends online.

"Stop looking at your phone, the food is here." Shen Jianian reminded her while holding a hot water bottle and helping Bai Changxia wash the dishes.

Zhao Shunyi's eyes lit up when he saw the delicious food, and he couldn't help but move his chopsticks. Then, as if he remembered something, he said to Shen Jianian: "That Tong Yan, I don't think she has much role in the movie, how can she be so good on the set?" Jumping around."

During the filming of "A Banquet at the West Palace", Tong Yan was injured, causing Shen Jia Nian to be bullied online. Zhao Shunyi also spoke to Shen Jia Nian on Weibo at that time. Unfortunately, she thought Tong Yan had a heavy role in the movie and was worried that Shen Jia Nian would steal the spotlight. Those little things, I didn’t expect that there would only be a few shots in the finished film.

Shen Jianian ignored Bai Changxia, who was addicted to mobile phones, and started to enjoy it himself: "During the filming, the number of scenes was not so small. Maybe the director made a choice during editing."

For example, in her scenes with Tong Yan, most of the scenes were given to her, and Tong Yan's scenes were just passing by. There were also scenes with others and Tong Yan, and it was almost the same.

Zhao Shunyi: "Tong Yan has acted in a hit drama, but there has been no talk about her online for several months, and I don't know what she is busy with."

Shen Jianian seemed to be reminded. He was stunned for a few seconds. He took out his mobile phone and looked through his WeChat address book. He found Fu Feibai and guessed that he might know the reason, so he sent him a message.

Shen Jianian: "Has Tong Yan's scene in the West Palace Banquet been deleted?"

If it is a reasonable choice, Tong Yan's role is too much.

Fu Feibai might be playing with his cell phone, but the message came back quickly: "You just found out? She was causing trouble on the set. Do you really think Wang Kelun is a fool? So, during the post-editing, Director Wang deleted all her scenes. Anyway, it doesn’t affect the overall plot direction. Also, Director Wang’s status in the industry is there. He just said a few words to Tong Yan at other dinner parties. Who dares to use such a troublesome actor? She still wants to be entertained in the future. I'm afraid it will be difficult to make this bowl of rice."

Shen Jia Nian replied "I know", put down the phone, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food, and her mind couldn't help but drift away, thinking of Tong Yan.

Tong Yan finally paid the price for what she did.
