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

Chapter 34 A little nervous
Of course Shen Yan knew Liu Shishi.

He has watched a few episodes of "A Thought Across the Mountain"...

That show is not good!

I just saw a clip on TikTok - the male and female protagonists were together, and the male protagonist kicked the female protagonist out and went to plant a bomb in the enemy camp.

This is fucking awesome! The action design is a copy of the Angry Birds game trailer...

Also, her back is so straight, I'm really worried she'll fall over when she walks...

As for looks...

Anyway, she must be a beautiful woman with good temperament.

She has the feeling of a generous and dignified girl from a good family...

Not amazing enough anyway.

As for Zhang Junmi...

When Shen Yan saw her, he immediately remembered, isn’t this Li Han from “The Silent Killer”!

Shen Yan knew her. Zhang Junmi, like Peng Yuyan, was a hardworking but untalented person.

He is a typical Taiwanese actor with above average acting skills, the kind that is just average!

However, Tang Dynasty costume dramas require almost no acting skills!

Just the right temperament...

After saying hello, Shen Yan followed the three of them to a barbecue restaurant, Lao Song BBQ.

After requesting a private room, Yuan Hong boasted, "The private rooms at Lao Song BBQ are reserved for celebrities. If you're not a celebrity enough, they won't let you sit in a private room!"

By the way, I asked Shen Yan: "What do you want to eat?"

"Let's roast two lamb legs...how about you?"

"Are there any dietary restrictions for Junmi?"

Zhang Junmi shook her head, so Yuan Hong took the initiative: "Twenty more lamb skewers, ten more chicken wings... potatoes and eggplants, and grilled shrimp... and some wine?"

"Stop drinking... We still have to film tomorrow..."

"...How about a few drinks? What's Xiao Shen drinking?"

"Coke..."

Liu Shishi quickly added: "I drink Coke too!"

Zhang Junmi said: "Boiled water will do!"

"Okay...waiter..."

The staff pushed the door open, took out the menu, and brought out a plate of sliced watermelon...

"Everyone, let's eat..."

"Eh!"

While eating watermelon, Yuan Hong asked Shen Yan: "Are you nervous?"

"fine…"

Liu Shishi interrupted: "Why are you so nervous?"

“This is his first time playing a leading role!”

Liu Shishi was surprised: "You've never played a leading role before?"

"No..." Shen Yan shook his head: "I was always a bit player before..."

Yuan Hong explained: "He auditioned for the role in "The Strange Hero Yizhimei" and was spotted by Director Li, who then pulled him in to act in "The World of Clothes"..."

"Ah? Are you still going to act in 'Strange Hero Yizhimei'?"

"Acting... I signed a contract for two works..."

Liu Shishi looked at him and said, "I want to star in 'The Strange Hero Yizhimei' too... Are you playing He Xiaomei?"

"No, I play Ying Wuqiu... the villain..."

"Ying Wuqiu?" Liu Shishi looked at him in surprise: "How old are you this year?"

“21…I was born in 88!”

"...Wow, so you're a year younger than me..."

Shen Yan really wanted to say... You are younger, I don't mind you calling me brother...

It was our first meeting, so I decided to forget it and just smiled and said, "It's okay, after putting on makeup it's almost the same..."

Yuan Hong interrupted: "Where's Jun Mi?"

"I was invited directly... I didn't even know about the Tangren company..."

“…We at Tangren have Taiwanese senior officials…”

Oh, Cai Yinong grew up in Hong Kong, so Tangren’s early film and television dramas basically all starred Hong Kong and Taiwan actors... Of course, mainland actors at that time were considered unfashionable and indeed not very suitable for ancient idol dramas!

Not only male actors, but female actors as well!

Many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, especially Taiwanese actors, also regard starring in Tangren dramas as a springboard to enter the mainland market.

Back to the dinner...

The barbecue was pretty good. Shen Yan was mainly responsible for eating, while Yuan Hong was responsible for chatting with Zhang Junmi... Liu Shishi also ate a lot!

Shen Yan watched her eat six mutton skewers and even took a lamb leg to chew...

It's quite hard to chew!

Shen Yan put on plastic gloves: "Give it to me!"

Liu Shishi handed over the lamb leg stick. Shen Yan took it and, with a little effort, broke the leg stick apart. Then, he placed it in front of her and asked in confusion, "Don't you female celebrities have to control your diet?"

Liu Shishi looked at the split lamb leg and was a little surprised...

Because Shen Yan doesn't look like a strong person at all!
Hearing his question, she quickly replied: "...Ah...How can I be considered a female star?"

"You're not considered a female celebrity? I've even heard of the famous Liu Shishi!"

Liu Shishi was surprised: "Am I famous?"

"Sister Yi...what do you think?"

On Tianya Forum, Liu Shishi’s fans beat all the fans of male and female stars, so she is called the number one sister of Tianya.

Later, some people also called her Tangren's No. 1 Sister. After all, she was the most popular and influential actress in Tangren...

Later, we simply dropped the prefix modifiers "Tianya" and "Tangren" and just called her Yijie!
"What's the first sister?"

"Nothing," Shen Yan changed the subject: "Can you tell me about the habits of several Tangren directors?"

"Habit?"

"It's about whether to curse or not..."

"...I feel okay...I haven't been scolded...but when you first start, it's normal to get scolded a few times!"

Then Liu Shishi told me about Brother Hu...

When Hu Ge was filming "Chinese Paladin," he was constantly scolded by the director. There was a scene where Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er were running. Hu Ge hadn't graduated yet and only had some stage experience from school, so he handled the scene like a stage play...

The lens and camera position during the shooting process were not taken into consideration at all.

The director was reviewing the footage in a room. When he saw Brother Hu's exaggerated performance, he rushed out of the room and scolded Brother Hu. It is said that all the people present were shocked.

“…So harsh…”

Yuan Hong interjected: "I feel Director Li's temper has improved a lot in recent years..."

“…So I’ve arrived at a good time?”

……

After chatting for more than an hour, several people returned to their hotels...

Chen Xu has already received the filming schedule and has looked at tomorrow's scenes...

Just one appearance...

Fang Ning doesn’t have many scenes. In the early stage of "The Weaver Girl", Jinxiufang where Huang Qiaoer works participated in the world's first textile competition!

Well, there is no best in the world...

The five weaver girls in Jinxiufang have much more drama than Fang Ning!

Shen Liang roughly studied Fang Ning's personality and identity, and deduced the way he spoke and walked...

The necessary desk work still needs to be done!

Oh... Shen Yan doesn't need to memorize the script. As long as the plot is coherent and the sentences are not awkward, he can remember it after reading it once!
However, thinking that the filming will officially start tomorrow...

Still a little nervous.

It's normal. It's my first time playing the lead role, so the camera, position, lighting, etc. are definitely different from those of the background actors...

hope everything is fine!
I took a shower and prepared for bed, then my phone rang...

It wasn't Ji Xiang, it was Li Yuqiu from the "Martial Arts Edition" section. Shen Yan answered, "Editor Li?"

"...A publishing house contacted me and wants to publish Lotus House... What do you think?"

"How much is the royalty?"

"6%..."

twenty three%…

Tsk tsk, bullying!

Without a second thought, Shen Yan said, "I'm not really interested in publishing it right now... By the way, Editor Li, 'Lotus Tower' is almost finished serializing. I'll upload it online... Will it affect your sales?"
