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

Chapter 80 Shen Teng Arrives
After Sina Entertainment's interview, several other media outlets followed suit...

The results were pretty good. In just one month, Shen Yan's Weibo followers increased from 51 to 58...

By the way, Southern Weekend’s “2010 Summer Movie Preview” released in April included “Introduction to Architecture” and gave a box office forecast: 3000 million!
It's normal, the title is too documentary...

Moreover, You Dazhi hasn't made a movie for nearly ten years.

As for the lead actor Li Bingbing...

Although Li Bingbing is a top star, she has never been able to compete at the box office – the box office of "Butterfly Flying" starring her in 08 did not reach 1000 million...

It's still not as good as Fan Xiaopang's. In the same year, the box office of "Dancing Gate" was at least 1500 million...

When predicting box office results in the industry, they usually look at the genre and the cast...

As for word of mouth and the film itself, we'll have to wait until the film is released, when theater managers will have an internal viewing promotion meeting...

Then everyone will make predictions!

Generally speaking, theater managers are unlikely to make wrong predictions, and even if they are wrong, it won’t be too outrageous!
After all, as a capable cinema manager, he must have a basic understanding of the market...

……

On the set, Shen Yan was chatting with You Dazhi...

After all, Shen Yan is the screenwriter of the movie, so there are many things that require his opinion...

Of course, the two of them weren't discussing the movie's plot right now. Shen Yan was asking for leave on Shi Shi's behalf. "The Weaver Girl" was about to premiere on Nanning TV on April 4th, and the main actors, Zhang Junmi, Yuan Hong, and Liu Shi Shi, were going to Nanning to attend the national premiere ceremony...

Actually, Shen Yan can also go...

But I have to film scenes with young Seungmin in the next few days...

So, Shen Yan declined the invitation.

The TV station doesn’t care much. Compared to those three, Shen Yan is really unknown.

It doesn’t matter whether you come or not!
"Probably for two days... 'The Weaver Girl' is funded by Nanning TV Station."

"It's okay, I'll ask them to make some adjustments and shoot your scene with Shen Teng tomorrow!"

Shen Yan smiled and asked, "Did you go to see Happy Twist's play?"

You Dazhi nodded: "After watching two shows, Shen Teng is truly a rare comedy genius!"

"Introduction to Architecture" Shengmin's neighbor brother found Shen Teng...

This is Shen Yan’s suggestion.

You Dazhi initially planned to look for Lee Cansen. After all, there are indeed very few actors who are willing to play supporting roles and have a sense of humor.

The point is to play a supporting role for Shen Yan...

Of course, Lee Cansen can do it too - Lee Cansen even played a paraplegic who could only move above the neck in "New Family Law"...

But he always has a vulgar feeling!

Shen Yan gave him some advice: Happy Twist and the Laughing Conference Room...

After You Dazhi met Shen Teng, he immediately confirmed that it was him.

Indeed, Shen Teng can be called the king of comedy of the new generation.

Of course, you can say he is far from Stephen Chow or something like that...

But if we have to find a comedy king in the past 10 years, who else can we choose besides Shen Teng?

Shen Yante likes Shen Teng very much and admires him very much - throughout the ages, looking around the global film industry, is there any comedy star who, with billions of dollars in box office revenue, still works tirelessly to appear on variety shows and fight on the battlefield to bring laughter to the people?
Variety shows ruin actors?
Ha ha…

Shen Yan grinned: "So, there is nothing wrong with my recommendation, right?"

“…No problem…” You Dazhi sighed, “…I also watched a few actors in the Laughing Conference Room. There really is a wealth of talent here in mainland China!”

"It's a pity that there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers..."

Before You Dazhi could respond, Shen Yan said, "I'll go and have a scene with him..."

"Well, you go."

……

When I found Shen Teng, he was memorizing his lines...

I feel quite nervous!

Understandably, "Architecture 101" was his first film.

Besides, he has dyslexia, so it’s hard for him to remember his lines!
However, Shen Teng in 09 was at the peak of his appearance. He didn't have so many wrinkles on his forehead, and he wasn't fat... he was quite handsome.

After a brief chat with him, Brother Teng complained that he couldn't remember the words...

Shen Yan thought about it and offered a suggestion: "If you can't remember the lines, you can record yourself while reading the script first, and then recite it at the end. I heard that Tom Cruise did that!" "Tom Cruise can't remember his lines either?"

"He has dyslexia... He himself said, 'I forget what I read, my mind goes blank. No matter how hard I try, I can't overcome it.'"

Shen Teng was a little excited: "...Me too, I forget what I read. I really try hard, but I just can't remember it. There are many times when I want to slap myself! I can't even remember the words to the script I wrote myself!"

"...It's okay, I'll talk to the on-site producer and have him give us the lines off-screen..."

“I’m a little embarrassed by this…”

"Just act well, that's all. By the way, how are you going to do the kissing part?"

"Rub your hands...slow down first, speed up later..."

"You can refer to the seven-step hand washing method..."

"Seven steps to washing hands?"

"Yes, the expression should be a little more arrogant..."

“…Try it?”

Shen Yan nodded: "Come on!"

Anyway, in this scene, Shen Yan only needs to sit on the curb, and Shen Teng's performance is mainly...

The plot is that Seungmin thought he kissed Seoyoung, which was his first kiss, so he shared it with his neighbor's brother, and then he was hit again: "You call that a kiss?"

The neighbor's brother gave him an impromptu explanation of what kissing meant, and said contemptuously, "Kissing a girl while she's asleep is a crime. It's shameful!"

“…But…but we played games together…”

"What game?"

"Railway race... whoever falls off first loses..."

"Oh my god, this is a game you college students play? How childish!"

"...Anyway, the loser gets a wrist slap..."

"so what?"

"Wrist slaps, you have to hold each other's hands, and when your hands touch... This isn't a game you can play in a normal relationship!"

"If not a wrist slap, then a slap? Idiot!"

"Eh…"

This is the plot. If this scene is to be memorable, it all depends on Shen Teng...

He performed well...

But I always feel like something is missing...

At this time, Ren Quan came over and said, "You're holding it in too much... You need to let it out a little more!"

Shen Yan immediately greeted him: "Brother Quan!"

"...Yeah," Ren Quan nodded. "I just took a look. Shen Teng, you're too reserved... You're responsible for the laughs in this show, entertaining the audience, so you can't hold back. The more exaggerated, the better!"

"More exaggerated?"

"Yes, you need to rub your hands faster..."

“…Then let’s do it again?”

Shen Yan didn't care: "Okay..."

……

Shi Shi simply packed up her things and prepared to go to Nanning.

Shen Yan sent her to the airport.

On the way, she asked, "Are you rehearsing with Shen Teng this afternoon?"

"Um…"

"I heard that you recommended him?"

"Almost... When I was at BJ, I heard about Happy Twist... and also about Shen Teng... and it just so happened that our "Introduction to Architecture" needed an actor who was good at comedy..."

"I heard that Yuan Hong also auditioned... but didn't make it?"

Shen Yan frowned: "Did he complain to you?"

“…I’m not complaining, I’m just not very happy!”
