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

Chapter 37 Don't call me sister at the end of the year, my mind is a bit wild
Liu Shishi opened the "Martial Arts Edition" and asked curiously, "Can you also write martial arts novels?"

Shen Yan casually explained: "To make a living..."

"what?"

"Get some royalties!"

"Wow, it's serialized in a magazine, you just say it?"

"The formula for martial arts novels is established, and the core content is based on five types: revenge, treasure hunting, hegemony, chivalry, and love affairs... Whoever blends these elements best is a master!"

"What about Jin Yong's novels?"

"You've starred in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Let's take that as an example. The Condor Heroes contains four major elements: revenge, treasure hunting, hegemony, and chivalry..."

“…Revenge for what?”

"Guo Jing's revenge for his father's murder... Why did Guo Jing leave the desert and head south to the Central Plains? Wasn't it just to attend the martial arts competition at Zuixianlou and take revenge at the same time?"

"What about the treasure hunt?"

"Nine Yin Manual..."

Liu Shishi pondered for a moment: "...it really is..."

"The routine is already set, and all that's left is to fill it with stories..."

“Then I can’t write well either!”

"...I'm a pretty good writer. Last year, I went to BJ, hoping to become an actor, but I had no connections at the time. I didn't have an agency, and I didn't have the contact information for a group leader. Forget being an actor, I didn't even know about auditions... After six months, I only had 500 yuan left. I was really at my wit's end, so I thought of writing something to earn money!"

"So what is this Lotus Tower about?"

"...It's a story about a man who has retired from society and re-enters it due to some disputes..."

“…Is there a full version?”

"Not yet. You can wait until the serialization is finished and I will post it online..."

"Oh." Liu Shishi put down the magazine, then remembered something: "Let me ask you something."

"What?"

"You seem to like Teacher Dai Chunrong very much?"

Shen Yan nodded: "My grandma likes her... I've talked to her a few times and I like her too. The old senior has a broad vision, and a few words of advice from her have benefited me greatly!"

"She instructed you?"

"Yes, I asked her and she told me..."

"Then why don't you ask Teacher Chen Xiuwen?"

Shen Yan: "...Mr. Chen's performance technique is based on the Hong Kong style, which is quite different from our mainland style..."

Liu Shishi was surprised: "Is it different?"

"...It's definitely different. Even Liu Songren's performance style is different from ours... Their expressions are quite exaggerated."

“…Is there?”

Shen Yan explained: "...I asked Teacher Dai Chunrong, and she said that this is an exaggerated interpretation method...because "Tianya Zhinu" is a traditional puppet drama, it is necessary for the audience to quickly distinguish the characters and enter the story..."

Liu Shishi nodded, then raised an eyebrow: "...So what do you think of my acting?"

"I've never seen you act!"

Liu Shishi: "I have a play tomorrow, come and watch it then!"

"Hmm..." Shen Yan remembered something: "I'm going to go and rehearse with Sister Jun Mi... Do you want to join us?"

"Why do you call her Sister Jun Mi and me Shi Shi?"

What could be the reason?
If you don’t call me sister when you are younger than me, it means you have some wild thoughts!
Of course, Shen Yan didn't say it directly, but found an excuse: "...Zhang Junmi is a Taiwanese compatriot, and you are not!"

"... "

Liu Shishi muttered something, then followed him to find Zhang Junmi...

…In fact, Shen Yan always felt that Liu Shishi was pretty, but a little too plain…

He still likes the gorgeous rose type.

Maybe it's because of lust, always wanting to take advantage...

Just taking advantage...

After all, knowing that she is Long Liqi’s wife, it feels quite exciting!
As for Zhang Junmi...

Shen Yan clearly felt that she was under a lot of pressure - she was the only Taiwanese in the entire crew.

Moreover, I can feel that she is not very adapted to the rhythm of filming...

When filming in mainland China, the script is given to you, and the rest is up to the actors themselves. Professional actors should make all the preparations.

So, one second everyone's laughing and joking, and the next second the stage manager hits the board and yells 'Action!', and everyone jumps right into the action...

Moreover, the actors who acted with her were all very awesome...

The kind of emotions that come and go.

In Taiwan, because the show was being filmed and broadcast simultaneously, the crew had no downtime and everyone was busy rehearsing...

It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, but after being used to the Taiwanese model, it's really hard to get used to it when suddenly filming in mainland China...

Oh, she later said on the show, "We were chatting and laughing with our co-star, but as soon as filming started, he burst into tears. I was shocked by his professionalism in the role. At that moment, I felt that Taiwan couldn't lose! I felt that we also had to show our professionalism..."

Being turned out...

Almost boycotted!
Well, there has been a huge boycott - "The Mentalist" deleted six episodes of her scenes.

This is just the inevitable result after the cross-strait policies have been tightened and there is no room for ambiguity.

Oh, Shen Yan asked her to act opposite him, just to act opposite him...

Shen Yan really has no intention of picking up girls...

After all, I'm so busy. Every day after filming, I have to go back to the hotel and prepare manuscripts for "The Supreme One". I have to write at least three chapters...

I also want to write "There is a Bandit"!

In addition, he also had to watch some movies - this was the homework left by the acting teacher Ji Xiang hired for him, reviewing the films...

The so-called film review is to watch the movie frame by frame repeatedly, rewind it repeatedly, and at the same time analyze and record what you have seen and summarized.

Then record the content, scene arrangement, camera movement, shot size, editing, sound, picture, rhythm, performance, camera position, etc. of each shot, and summarize it at the end.

He was given a slideshow of thirty films...

Mostly European movies!

Films by Godard, Ken Loach, Carlos Saura, Andrzej Wajda, Ingmar Bergman…

Let him write a summary report.

It now takes him three days to finish watching a movie!
As for the mental journey...

At first, I was a bit disdainful. After all, they were antiques. Movies have been revolutionized long ago in terms of technology and the most basic shooting methods.

Then after watching Godard's "The 400 Blows", I was still a little touched...

Well, the two pioneering works of the French New Wave are Breathless and The 400 Blows. Shen Yan knows the names of these two films, but he has never seen them...

After all, the New Wave means literary, obscure, and boring, which also means it is not good to watch!
But after watching "The 400 Blows", I really feel that I underestimated the master...

The title of the film "The 400 Blows" comes from a French proverb: A naughty child must be beaten 400 times to eliminate disasters, get rid of demons, and become a healthy and obedient child.

A cruel story of youth!

This film is not literary at all. Although it is slightly inferior to the originator of Italian neorealism, "The Bicycle Thief", in terms of watchability, "The 400 Blows" tells all audiences that movies can be neither works of art nor commodities, they are just interesting little toys!
It's quite interesting.

However, Shishi has been pestering him lately to read the sequel to "Lotus Tower"...

She has read all the serial parts...
