Chapter 72 Rejected

Shen Yan has seen the drama "Snow Leopard"...

For a while, he was obsessed with anti-Japanese dramas.
Most of it is bullshit, but it's pretty good.

It feels no different from "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf"...

Anyway, Wolf will never be able to catch a sheep, just like the devils in the anti-Japanese drama will never be able to defeat us!

Shen Yan treated this thing as a special effects film...

After watching a lot, I naturally traced back to the source and found some top-ranked dramas. "Bright Sword", "Snow Leopard" and "The Unforgettable Number" are considered the top three anti-Japanese dramas in terms of quality.
He doesn't really like the show "My Captain, My Regiment" that a lot of people are praising...

Only watched it once!
That play was so uncomfortable.

There is no dopamine secretion at all, the main theme of the whole film is a sense of loss...

It is different from what we imagined. In our imagination, the Anti-Japanese War was just a call, and millions of sons and daughters fought bravely and shed blood, emitting a dazzling light that was not like that of ordinary people. Every scar and every stain exuded a great glory!
The anti-Japanese resistance in "The Regiment Commander" is like running away in fear, stupid and backward, smashing tanks with shovels, falling in love with local prostitutes, and still thinking about stealing a handful of sweet potato flour from a fellow villager.

The passion of going to the battlefield after being inspired was completely extinguished by the rain, and I didn't even have clothes to wear!
If you watch other anti-Japanese dramas, you know that the ending must be the victory of the anti-Japanese war. "Snow Leopard" is a typical example. There are sadness and anger in the middle, but the process is based on one word: cool. The emotions of enemies being happy and relatives being sad will not last long. In a blink of an eye, the Japanese pirates will be eliminated and my son will return home.

Including "My Brother is Shunliu", they arranged that the Japanese surrendered and took a boat home. Shunliu wanted to kill them for revenge. Although he didn't kill them in the end, he shot through the urn with a gun, and the ashes were scattered all over the ground...

At least the emotions were expressed!
……

There is nothing much to say about the filming of "Snow Leopard". Shen Yan is just a supporting role.

Playing a bandit is so easy. Just put on the costumes prepared by the crew and act a little arrogant, and that's it...

He still has the basic imitation ability of an actor!
It’s quite fun to act in this drama...

Everyone gets together and chats about nothing...

The content of the conversation was basically about the plot.

The atmosphere is really good!

Shen Yan even wrote two songs and let the "Snow Leopard" crew use them for free: "Half Life Snow" and "I Still Remember You"...

"Half Life of Snow" is a popular online song, the children's song version...

"I Still Remember You" is the ending theme song of "Battle of Changsha".

Actually, Shen Yan felt that these two songs were not very suitable for "Snow Leopard"...

But it’s much more suitable than “Leaving You for Love”!
I’m afraid of comparison in everything!

After all, Snow Leopard is mainly a male drama. Although there is romance, it is not much...

In Shen Yan's opinion, there are two points that distinguish "Snow Leopard" from other great dramas.

First, the friendship between Takeshita Shun and Zhou Weiguo runs through the whole...

Takeshita Shun is the eldest disciple of the Hokushin Ittoryu kendo school.

Hokushin Ittoryu opposes war and supports peace.

Therefore, Takeshita Shun was also influenced by his master and felt that the world should pursue peace and that Japan's invasion of China was barbaric and wrong.

But Takeshita-kun was also a patriot. He applied to the military academy and joined the army in order to defend his country.

Takeshita Shun is a very conflicted character, constantly wavering between personal feelings and loyalty to his country.
Whether he admits it or not, the moment he put on that suit, Takeshita Shun no longer represented himself. He represented the will of a country to invade other countries and even massacre and enslave their people.

As the invaded party, how could we ignore the national interests because of personal relationships?
The second is the addition of Zhang Renjie!

Zhang Renjie is a rather contradictory character, vicious, hypocritical, mysteriously confident, ambitious, power-hungry but a fool with no skills.

But after being captured, this person did not betray the country despite being tortured by the Japanese invaders?
When the crew of "Snow Leopard" gets together, especially the men, it's natural to talk about politics...

It’s natural to say things that cannot be written!
Shen Yan said, "I remember a quote from Panama's Torrijos: Revolution is like sawing wood. Sometimes it goes forward, sometimes backward, sometimes left, sometimes right, but overall it develops in depth."

……

In the car, Shen Yan said to Ji Xiang: "If there is a chance, let me take on an anti-Japanese drama. I think it's quite interesting!"

Ji Xiang casually replied: "...That also requires a good script..."

"Yeah," Shen Yan nodded. "What I mean is that you should pay more attention. Anti-Japanese dramas are naturally politically correct and usually pass the review..."

"I see," Ji Xiang changed the subject, "The script for 'Back to 20' has already been sold..." "How much?"

"Including three songs, 120 million!"

Shen Yan took a long time to reply: "... Really rich!"

"They followed our suggestion and contacted Director Chen Zhengdao, and they agreed to let you play Xiang Qianjin..."

"Shen Mengjun's grandson?"

Ji Xiang explained: "...This role is more in line with your image, a band guitarist and composer..."

"Fine,"

Shen Yan pondered for a moment and realized that Xiang Qianjin was the only role he could play in "Back to 20." For the other roles, either his age or image wasn't suitable...

Ji Xiang smiled; "They are planning to invest 3000 million to make this movie!"

3000...

It’s really a big deal!
"Tsk tsk... this is what we call a big money sponsor!"

Ji Xiang immediately said, "What's wrong? Are you envious? I can introduce you to a few!"

"No, I'm just expressing my feelings..." After a pause, Shen Yan asked, "How many commercial performances have you arranged for me?"

"...About a dozen...mostly all in BJ...it's the end of the year, and many companies are having their annual meetings..."

“…After that’s over, I’ll go home for the New Year!”

"There are also a few commercial shoots."

"Advertisement? What advertisement? Have you accepted an endorsement for me?"

Ji Xiang shook his head: "...No endorsement at the moment."

“I can shoot commercials even without endorsements”

“…Models can even do commercials!”

"Too…"

Ji Xiang remembered something: "Oh, by the way, Chen Chusheng didn't agree with your suggestion!"

"what?"

"He has a different style from you... maybe he doesn't like your songs?"

“…No way?”

The song "Why Not Go Home and Drink Tap Water" became popular mainly because of Chen Chusheng and Wang Heye's performance...

Not interested?
Ji Xiang shrugged: "His agent refused!"

Oh, after Chen Chusheng broke up with Tianyu, he signed with Huayi Music.

He sang the theme song of the movie "The Whisper of the Wind", the interludes "Listen to the Wind Sing" and "Tomorrow"...

By the way, he also composed and sang the theme songs and promotional songs of “Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame” and “If You Are the One 2”!
During his time at Huayi, he also acted in movies such as "New Born to Be a Couple" and "Never Gone".

Back to the matter of refusing to sing in a chorus...

This is completely different from what Shen Yan imagined...

In his opinion, Chen Chusheng must like this song very much!
Shen Yan felt a little disappointed, but only a little...

After all, the suggestion of a chorus is just an idea.

“…Forget it, just refuse it!”

Ji Xiang looked at him and then said, "...I think you shouldn't arrange a duet for your first album, or I can arrange a duet partner for you!"

"What?"

“…You’re just a newcomer…”
