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

Chapter 108: The Beauty Within (24)

Hearing this, Ji Xiang was surprised: "You really have it?"

"have what?"

“It’s almost the same script!”

Shen Yan shook his head: "It's just an immature idea... Let's not talk about this for now, I don't quite understand it."

"What don't you understand?" Ji Xiang checked the time. "Shall we have something to eat?"

"No," Shen Yan shook his head: "I have been eating nutritious meals for the past few months."

"Nutritional meal? What the hell?"

"It's just low-fat vegetables and chicken breast... low oil and low salt..."

When Ji Xiang heard this, he asked, "Is it delicious?"

"What the hell..." Shen Yan rolled his eyes and said, "'Introduction to Architecture' hasn't been released yet, and this is the only movie I'm interested in. Is it really necessary for Fan Bingbing's agent to rush over?"

"It's better to be prepared!" Ji Xiang explained, "The person in charge of promoting 'Back to 20' spread the word that 'the script is even better than 'Introduction to Architecture'!"

"Spread the word? Shen Yan swallowed his saliva: "Is 'Back to 20' going to grab the National Day slot?"

"That's not the case... They haven't even finished post-production yet, so it should be released in early December..." Ji Xiang continued, "Fan Bingbing's 'East Wind Rain' was ridiculed this year... He wanted to follow the trend of 'The Whistleblower', but ended up getting caught in a bad way!"

"'Eastern Rain and Wind' is Liu Yunlong's work, right?"

“But during the publicity, the main character was Fan Bingbing!”

Uh… okay!
I can only say that Fan Bingbing is unlucky...

"East Wind Rain" was said to have an investment of 2870 million RMB, but it only earned million at the box office, not even as much as "Don Quixote"!
The latter, under the banner of a 7000 million investment and China's first 3D blockbuster, finally received 3400 million.

In the annual top ten loss-making list, I guess "East Wind Rain" will definitely be among the top.

However, the person who had the greatest impact on the show was Liu Yunlong - he disappeared from the film industry and started working on TV dramas. Then he filmed "Kite" in 2012, which aired in 2017...

Although he was not convinced, Liu Yunlong refused to admit that "East Wind Rain" failed at the box office. He confidently believed that the actual box office was at least 8000 million, and it was very likely that the theaters "stole the box office." "The box office figures are not the actual figures, but my box office revenue was diverted to other movies. So next time I must hire a good team to focus on the theaters."

Useless!

Shen Yan probably understood...

Fan Bingbing urgently needs a comeback work.

Therefore, she took "Movie Viewing Mountain" to the Tokyo Film Festival. Even though Chinese-language films collectively withdrew from the Tokyo Film Festival, she still held on!

"Mountain Viewing" was her comeback film, not only winning awards but also grossing 7800 million at the box office...

……

Shen Yan opened four lunch boxes one by one in front of Ji Xiang...

They are braised beef, shrimp, broccoli, carrots, chicken breast and cherry tomatoes.

"Is this something you eat?"

"Yeah," Shen Yan nodded: "I have to maintain my figure!"

"But you're exercising so much, will anything happen to you?"

"No, I have four meals a day..." Shen Yan waved his hand: "Anything else?"

"Asus is planning to sign a one-year endorsement contract..."

Shen Yan nodded, and without even asking the price, he asked directly: "Do you want to shoot a commercial?"

“Well, they came to Hengdian to shoot…”

"Okay, I've been taking almost every afternoon off lately to film commercials...it's getting to the point where my trainer is getting a little irritated..."

Hearing Shen Yan's complaints, Ji Xiang was a little bit proud: "That can't be helped, you are so popular!"

Shen Yan threw the broccoli into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it. He then spoke: "...I mean, don't rush into so many endorsements. The endorsement fees are not high..."

"The endorsements I took were all short-term, the longest being only two years!"

"You make sense...what else?" "...Huayi and Royal Entertainment are working on a new version of 'Shaolin Temple'..."

"I know, Andy Lau is the protagonist!"

"New Shaolin Temple", Shen Yan really knows, starring Andy Lau and Tse Ting-fung, with supporting cast including Jackie Chan, Wu Jing...

There are rumors online that Xie Tingfeng didn't want to take on "New Shaolin Temple" at first, but when he heard that he could beat up Wu Jing, he joined for free!
What a bullshit!
This drama is the gift that Huangying specially prepared for Xie Tingfeng!

Shaolin Temple...

"Shaolin Temple" in the 1s was first shown in this province, then in that province, and then on the open-air screen in the village. It was shown for an unknown amount of time, maybe a few months, half a year, or even more than half a year... In short, with a ticket price of 161578014 cent, it set a box office record of yuan.

This is consistent with the perception of most people.

Many people may not know that "Shaolin Temple" was a big hit in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. After its release in Japan, it even earned 40 billion yen at the box office!

This record for Chinese-language films was not broken until the release of "Hero"!

Jackie Chan is a big hit in Japan, but his highest-grossing film, Project A, only grossed 31 billion yen...

The Japanese box office of "Drunken Master" is 19 billion yen.

Now remakes are, without a doubt, the key projects of the year.

However, when Ji Xiang asked Shen Yan: "...Are you interested?"

Without thinking, Shen Yan answered directly: "No!"

"...Actually, I don't want you to get involved in this mess either...The main roles have already been chosen!"

"Then you still ask me?"

Ji Xiang chuckled: "...Mr. Huang asked me to ask..."

"Huang Zhonglei?"

"Ok!"

“…He asked me out for dinner, but I didn’t go!”

Ji Xiang glanced at him and said, "...it's best not to go."

"…whatever you think."

Seeing Shen Yan finish the food in front of him, he asked, "Are you full?"

"Eighty percent full!"

“…Being a celebrity is so hard!”

"Hard work, damn! I've made at least 20 million this month, and you're telling me it's hard work?"

Ji Xiang laughed again and corrected himself: "...After deducting taxes, it's 1648 million..."

"...Okay, I'm going to go down to train later. Do you have anything else to do?"

"What new idea did you just mention?"

Shen Yan was speechless: "Why are you so anxious? I still have two TV series on hand!"

"Movies and TV series are different after all. Besides, there should be at least one movie released every year. We can't stop!"

"Okay," Shen Yan sat down and spoke slowly, "Furniture designer Zhi Qing has a secret that no one knows: every day when he wakes up, he becomes a completely different person in age, nationality, and gender. Sometimes he is young and handsome, sometimes he is old and frail. He has to adapt to a new self every day. How can he fall in love like this? One day, he met Li Xiu, a beautiful girl with similar interests. In his mysterious life, the only constant is Li Xiu's love for him.

But their love also faces new tests every time Fu Zhiqing "transforms"...

"This is my idea. I haven't started writing the script yet. I plan to call him "The Beauty Inside!" After a pause, Shen Yan continued, "Li Xiu, you can let Sister Bingbing try. There are many actors who can play Fu Zhiqing..."

After hearing Shen Yan's idea, Ji Xiang immediately exclaimed, "...Oh my god, this is a brilliant idea. Doesn't it mean that we can catch all the popular male actors in one fell swoop?"

“…We don’t have that much money!”

"We...you want us to do it ourselves?"

"Yeah, let's do it ourselves... and leave the distribution to Guangguang or Huayi!"
