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

Chapter 252 Media Screening (2/4)

"I Am a Singer", Shen Yan will definitely participate!
The title sponsor is Telunsu...

As the spokesperson, there is no reason for Brother Yan to refuse...

Moreover, his cousin will be his singer agent, so Shen Yan also wants to participate for the purpose of supporting his cousin!

By the way, the "Singer" production team pays performance fees—slightly lower than commercial performance fees—and relies primarily on the stage to attract singers: they have the best music team, including music director Liang Qiaobai; there's a live accompaniment of over 30 people, including an electric band, string instruments, wind instruments...

This configuration is no exaggeration to say that it is a top-level stage!
As for the schedule...

We only record once a week, so even if the filming is delayed, it won’t be too long…

……

After finishing the filming of "Base Camp", the "33 Days" team flew back to BJ to prepare for the media screening...

Shen Yan also came along.

The so-called media screening is also a form of public relations...

It was actually a film screening, and the audience included CEOs of major cinema chains, film critics, top journalists, and some Weibo influencers...

These people have great influence in the circle and a very high conversion rate.

Shen Yan didn’t hold this kind of movie viewing sessions for his previous films…

This time, we were forced to do it because we were too pressed - the schedule was too crowded!

This also has a lot to do with Teng Huatao having been in the industry for many years and having many close friends...

He is a second-generation director from the Beijing Film Studio. His father, Teng Wenyi, is a renowned fourth-generation director...

There's a rumor circulating that Teng Wenyi lived with Chen Hong for six years, then introduced her to the crew of "Feng Yue" and later served as the witness at their wedding...

In fact, these are not a big deal in the film industry!

It does not affect Teng Wenyi's status. There is a documentary "Life Online: Feng Xiaogang One Day in 2000". The creative production meeting of China Film Group was chaired by Teng Wenyi!

——This documentary has made many people like Feng Xiaogang. He is very straightforward, "Making a movie is about meeting different needs: meeting the needs of the government; meeting the needs of the audience; meeting the needs of investors; and satisfying the director himself as long as the rest can satisfy him. If it can't satisfy him, forget it."

Unfortunately, he later felt that he had reached a certain status and started to show off!

Back to Teng Huatao, as the second-generation director of the Beijing Film Studio, he was able to film the movie "New Romance Era" produced by the Movie Channel the same year he graduated from the Department of Literature. The lead actor was Xu Jinglei...

This is called a child of a famous family!

Brother Yan is definitely not as good as him.

It is impossible for ordinary movies to hold similar film screenings unless they spend a lot of money!
Sometimes even if you spend money, you may not be able to achieve your goal!
With such a background, why can't "Love Is Not Blind" find investment?

His last film, "The Devil in My Heart," cast: Li Ming, Liu Ruoying, Fan Bingbing...

The box office in mainland China was only 1000 million, and the box office in Hong Kong was... , a huge loss of several million!

It is said that this film took Teng Huatao three years to create...

And that's it?
Which investor would dare to invest in him?

In the original time and space, Perfect World invested in "Love Is Not Blind", reportedly because of Yao Di's pillow talk - she is now Chi Yufeng's girlfriend!

……

No matter what the issue is, he always wants to get involved and is as active as a public intellectual!
But he is not...

He just wanted to join in the fun - watching and eating melons!
Plus, he loves reviewing movies...

He even criticized his own screenwriting work, "The Laughing Man," saying, "I wasn't particularly interested in Zhu Yanping. Later, he said he could ask Cheng Xiaodong to be the action director. I admire Cheng Xiaodong very much and think this could be done!"

'The Laughing Man may be a mediocre film, but it's not disgusting either...'

"...I think Zhu Yanping didn't make good use of Xiao Shenyang. He only preserved his simple side, but lost his cowardice and cleverness... This made the whole movie become a fairy tale, and not a very believable fairy tale at that!"

After the screening, he asked Shen Yan to analyze the problems of "The Laughing Man"...

"The script isn't a big problem, the main problem is the director!"

"...Really?" "I'm not lying..." Shen Yan continued, "What do you think of '33 Days'?"

"What do you think?"

"A typical romantic comedy, it's likely to be a hit!"

“…How much did you invest?”

"600 million, accounting for 70% of the investment!"

"You're so optimistic?"

Shen Yan explained: "I originally planned to buy the adaptation rights and make it myself..."

We walked and talked until we reached the restaurant...

A group of people had already taken their seats. Ji Xiang stood at the door and said, "We just finished watching a movie. I guess everyone must be hungry. Let's eat first. There are some small gifts over there as a token of our appreciation."

"What little gift?"

"I don't know... They prepared this, I'm just responsible for the platform!"

“…Aren’t you an investor?”

"I am only responsible for paying the money, and the specific work will be done by professionals!"

The two were whispering to each other when Zhang Yibai came over and asked, "What are you talking about? Can I join in?"
Shen Yan greeted with a smile...

“I feel like this movie has a good chance of breaking 100 million!”

"Thanks for your good wishes..." Shen Yan smiled and said, "Director Zhang is also coming to the screening?"

“…I have nothing to do, so I came over to join in the fun!”

"There's no Lunar New Year movie this year?"

"No," Zhang Yibai said with a wry smile. "Even if there was, I probably wouldn't get a share. 'The Happiness Quota' was a massive box office failure!"

"…That movie doesn't have much to do with you, does it?"

“I’m the producer…”

"Oh!"

Zhang Yibai remembered something: "I still have to apologize to you..."

Shen Yan was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Lin Zhiling's team wants to use you to hype themselves..."

"It's okay, I'm taking advantage of her..." Shen Yan waved his hand: "After all, Lin Zhiling is a great beauty... It's my honor to have a scandal with a beautiful woman!"

“…Is that hype from Lin Zhiling’s team?”

Zhang Yibai nodded: "Yeah, the Taiwanese people like to make up little stories to lead people to speculate..."

Shen Yan added: "But I really haven't spoken to Lin Zhiling, and I've only met her once!"

"Your agent is too awesome..."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "She was bored in Thailand. When she saw the news, she was so angry... and then she started cursing..."

Zhang Yibai interrupted, "What if I really let you work with Lin Zhiling?"

"Not likely..." Shen Yan shook his head: "Lin Zhiling is only suitable for playing a vase or a beauty who is ravaged by men... I can't write a movie suitable for her..."

“We provide the script!”

"That's even more impossible... I usually don't take on external roles!"

"Don't like the scripts out there?"

"Yes!" Shen Yan nodded: "Anyway, I think the movies I make are most suitable for me."
