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

Chapter 266: Chat (3/4)

"very good!"

Guo Fan applauded...

Photographer Liu Yin exclaimed: "Teacher Xiaoqing is so imposing!"

Liu Xiaoqing was delighted: "Haha, you guys took great photos!"

Guo Fan: "... no matter how good the lighting and camerawork are, the actors still need to deliver. Ordinary actors definitely don't have this kind of momentum!"

"Stop praising me! I'll feel embarrassed if you continue praising me!"

Liu Xiaoqing waved his hand, then saw Ma Yili and immediately said, "Xiao Ma!"

"Sister Xiaoqing!"

Ma Yili came over immediately and asked, "Have you finished filming this segment?"

"Um…"

"Shall we go for a walk?"

"Okay... play badminton with me later!"

"You're really good, aren't you tired at all?"

“It’s tiring, but I have to give it a try… I tell you, life really is all about exercise!”

"This is called cultivating a righteous spirit. Teacher Zhang Fengyi said that after men turn 45, it's best to participate in military training... That way, their spirit can be restored!"

Ma Yili turned around: "...Xiao Shen, why are you here?"

"I came to see how the filming was going..." Shen Yan immediately greeted Liu Xiaoqing: "Teacher Xiaoqing, I'm Shen Yan!"

"I know you!" Liu Xiaoqing smiled. "...was it you who specifically asked me to play La Yun?"

"Hmm... I think only Teacher Xiaoqing can overwhelm Liu Dehua in terms of momentum!"

"Did you just say righteousness?"

"I've read a lot of Taoist books, and they say that after middle age, people's vital functions decline, and they rely entirely on their aura to support them." After a pause, Shen Yan continued, "The most typical example is Liang Chaowei. He started to feel weak and sluggish after "The Unparalleled". By the time he filmed "The City of Sadness", his aura could no longer support his looks, and his face began to fall. Under such circumstances, he still filmed "Lust, Caution"? It was simply courting death!"

"Lust, Caution is pretty good!"

"It's not that good. When most audiences think of Lust, Caution, they think of the sex scenes... then the movie has deteriorated...

Ma Yili thought for a moment and said, "He's over fifty!"

"It's not a matter of age, it's a matter of aura and a weak personality. Liu Dehua is one year older than him. Look at Brother Hua's spirit and energy, and then look at him!"

"Among Hong Kong actors, who has the most powerful aura?"

"Lu Liangwei! He was born in 55... Chow Yun-fat is also okay..."

"Lu Liangwei is truly a miracle!"

"He practices internal martial arts, and he's a master!"

Liu Xiaoqing interjected: "I was born in 50, too!"

Shen Yan was surprised: "...Zhao Yazhi is three years younger than you?"

"Well... I've met her... and Zheng Shaoqiu..." Liu Xiaoqing added: "And Fei Xiang!"

Ma Yili interjected, "They're both almost seventy, right?"

Liu Xiaoqing: "Yeah, but at first glance he looks like he's in his forties!"

"Commander Ma, Sister Xiaoqing, you two chat, I'll go talk to the director!"

"Um…"

……

"The progress is pretty good. Brother Hua has been staying on the crew recently..."

"What about the others?"

"You came at an unfortunate time. He just happened to be back in Hong Kong!"

"Why did he go back to Hong Kong?"

Guo Fan shook his head: "I don't know!" Shen Yan looked at Yang Siwei, who smiled and said: "Tour!"

"Oh...concert!"

"Hmm..." Yang Siwei thought of something: "You have to go to Hangzhou tomorrow, right?"

"Know!"

Guo Fan interrupted: "Why go to Hangzhou?"

Shen Yan said: "The music festival organized by Zhejiang Mobile... I definitely have to go!"

Zhejiang Mobile spent 50 million yuan to invite over 30 singers from across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan to perform a compilation concert at the Hangzhou Huanglong Sports Center Stadium...

There are representatives of the Taiwanese pop music scene such as Jolin Tsai, Will Pan, Cyndi Wang, Jam Hsiao, and Zhou Chuanxiong;
There are representatives of the Hong Kong music scene such as Hacken Lee, Sandy Lam, Priscilla Chan, Jordan Chan...

The mainland cannot afford to make mistakes, Shen Yan, Xu Song, Li Yuchun...

Zhou Jielun is the finale!
As the spokesperson for M-Zone, Shen Yan had been to quite a few of these venues this year—China Mobile and its branches in various provinces and cities would hold a compilation concert whenever they wanted, and Shen Yan would usually appear there...

It’s not like we won’t pay the performance fee.

"So why are you coming here today?"

Shen Yan sighed: "...I just want to hide away for a while. Too many media and reporters have been looking for me recently!"

"Love Is Not Blind" is too popular..." Yang Siwei nodded seriously, "It's unstoppable. Not to mention "The Last Airbender," I heard that the single-day box office of "The Adventures of Tintin" didn't even reach half of it!"

“… Mainly because The Adventures of Tintin isn’t a globally renowned IP…”

In fact, the box office performance of "The Adventures of Tintin" was quite embarrassing. It cost $1.3 million to produce, but ultimately took in $7700 million in North America and $3.7 million worldwide...

That’s right, North America failed to break 100 million!
Results on the borderline of profit and loss are very embarrassing for expectations.

So much so that "The Adventures of Tintin 2", originally scheduled to be directed by Peter Jackson, the director of "The Lord of the Rings", has been shelved!

Guo Fan asked, "What does IP mean?"

"It's... Intellectual Property, literally translated as 'intellectual property'... You could say a game, a film or TV series, a novel, an anime character, a song, even a sentence, a painting, a look can all be called IP..." After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan gave an example: "The simplest example is the movie titled 'The Accidental Murder'. Once it's a success, we can continue with 'The Accidental Murder 2' and 'The Accidental Murder 3'... but they're not actually sequels to 'The Accidental Murder'..."

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, no problem... Just like 'Big Shot', we're also planning to make it into a series... Just like 'The Accidental Murderer', one focuses on a police and gangster action film, while the other is more suspenseful..." At this point, Shen Yan suddenly thought of 'Ocean's 2' and immediately said, "Guo Fan, I've thought of the plot of 'The Accidental Murderer '..."

He paused deliberately, waiting for Guo Fan to ask a question, but he shook his head: "I don't want to listen. I have to finish filming "The Accidental Murder" first!"

This made Shen Yan a little anxious: "No... I'll just tell you the general plot, it won't affect the filming of "The Accidental Murder"."

"No, since you said it, I definitely want to know... the specific plot. It will affect the subsequent filming."

"You...I'll go find Rao Xiaozhi later!"

Yang Siwei interjected: "I heard that after 'Love Is Not Blind', many follow-up works were launched... '33 Days to Break Up', '21 Days to Break Up'..."

"It's useless. Once this kind of work is released, the market will not welcome it!"

“…But these guys can attract investment!”

“…There’s nothing we can do. There’s too much hot money at this stage…I heard that Jinmei is restructuring, and a lot of people are holding onto the money and don’t know what to do…”

Guo Fan immediately asked, "Is there a coal boss looking for you?"

"Of course there is..." Shen Yan smiled and said, "Do you know how much my commercial performance fee is in Taiyuan and Datong?"

"How many?"

Yang Siwei quickly responded: "220 million for three songs... Other places are 180 million for three songs..."

Guo Fan didn't ask why, but instead said, "...If you take on fifty games, wouldn't you become a billionaire?"

"You can't calculate it that way..." Shen Yan quickly explained: "I only take on a dozen purely commercial performances at most throughout the year..."

"Hunger marketing?"

Shen Yan was speechless: "...You can't say that..."

Yang Siwei continued: "On the one hand, it's hunger marketing. We have to limit the number of commercial performances of artists. On the other hand, Brother Yan is very busy..."
