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

Chapter 86 May
Many people commented that "Chinese Paladin III" was a failed game adaptation but a successful TV series!
It was quite successful indeed!

The screenwriter decided from the beginning that this kind of romantic costume idol TV series would be a success if it could make the audience laugh and cry.

So, in order to make the audience laugh, Jingtian's character was changed to a funny one, and then the role of Xu Maoshan was added to be responsible for the comedy.

In order to make the audience cry, the emotional lines are written as complicated as possible.

As for whether the story is magically changed or the setting is reasonable, it doesn’t matter...

The biggest beneficiary of this drama is Yang Mi - in the Baidu search index, in the actress column, Yang Mi is leading by a huge margin!

Of course, Shi Shi’s popularity also soared.

Shen Yan was very interested in the casting changes in "Chinese Paladin III": "I heard that the original candidate for Xuejian was Tang Yan?"

"Yes, we had been filming for a few days, but the director felt it wasn't working, so Old K went to the Red Mansion crew and found Yang Mi!"

It was originally planned that Tang Yanxue would play the role of Zixuan, and Shi Shi would play the role of Zixuan.

After the test shoot, the director felt that the role and the actor were not suitable. In the second online voting, Yang Mi still had a huge lead...

Cai Yinong went directly to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" three times and invited Yang Mi to join!
If this happened now, the crew would probably be devastated.

Who wants to be able to change from one to three times?

All I can say is that times have changed!
What actors feared most at that time was that the director would kick you out of the crew during filming... or, after filming was over, simply cut your role!
"Then you change from Zixuan to Longkui, is that okay with you?"

Shi Shi rolled her eyes: "What can I object to? It's good enough that I'm allowed to act!"

Uh…

Well, Shi Shi was just an actor under Tangren at that time.

Yuan Hong can only play Yun Ting...

"Did your pay increase?"

Shi Shi nodded: "Well, it should be 50,000 per episode now..." By the way, she asked: "How much are you paid now?"

"'Lotus Tower' costs 30,000 per episode..."

"You're not as tall as me!"

Shen Yan chuckled: "I'm the male lead!"

“…I want to play the role of Li Qiao…”

"Okay, I'll go talk to you..." Shen Yan was speechless and asked, "Do you have any schedule? Doesn't Cai Yinong have any new dramas lined up?"

"'Scarlet Heart' is in preparation... 'Scarlet Heart' will probably take several months to shoot..." Shi Shi added, "She asked me to play a supporting role named Lu Wu..."

Shen Yan was surprised: "Luwu? Isn't that Maertai Ruoxi?"

"Maertai Ruoxi is the heroine...Old K might think my image doesn't quite fit..."

Shen Yan... was shocked!

No, Cai Yinong is not smart?

Why didn’t they ask Shi Shi to star in “Scarlet Heart”?
Well, Shi Shi was originally cast to play the role of Lv Wu, the confidante of the Thirteenth Prince, and the final makeup photos have been released.

It is said that they initially wanted to find Jiang Yiyan - Architect Jiang!
However, Architect Jiang hooked up with the boss of Holiland and was busy entering the film industry, so he looked down on Tangren's ancient costume dramas.

"...That's great. If you want to do a time-travel drama, wait until 'Lotus Tower' is finished and we can do one!"

"Didn't I tell you before, 'Love Through the Millennium'..."

Shi Shi put on airs: "That depends on whether I have time!"

"...So how can you find a schedule?"

"Come, Xiao Yanzi, serve me well!"

Shen Yan looked at her expression of trying not to laugh, and immediately hugged her by the waist...

……

The crew of "Introduction to Architecture" is filming very quickly...

Shen Yan's grasp of the role is very good.

Shishi is also making progress...

Anyway, You Dazhi was quite satisfied. It was beyond his expectation that the play would turn out like this.

Set up the camera, adjust the lights, record the sound...a series of tasks are completed.

In the camera, at the bus stop, Shi Shi was leaning on Shen Yan's shoulder... with her eyes closed, as if she was sleeping...

Sensing the girl's unique aura, Shen Yan couldn't help but turn his head to stare at her. Under the dim light, her eyelashes were clearly visible, her nose was tall and beautiful, and her red lips were slightly parted, making people want to get closer. Unable to hold back, he leaned his head closer and kissed her...

Then he quickly turned around and exhaled...

Shi Shi woke up...

Shen Yan turned back stiffly: "...What's wrong?"

"I... need to go to the bathroom!"

"Okay, I'll accompany you..."

“Crack…passed!”

You Dazhi was very satisfied: "This is a good segment!"

While directing the transition, photographer Zheng Zhaoqiang suggested, "Do you want to add a kissing scene?"

"I've talked to Yanzi about it... and we decided against it! He said he wanted to portray the youthfulness and sadness of first love... and if we added a kissing scene, it wouldn't be regrettable enough!"

"Too…"

"We'll wrap up the day after tomorrow. What are your plans?"

You Dazhi shook his head: "Let's finish the post-production first! What about you?"

"I'm going back to Hong Kong to be with Sir Du..."

"Does Du Sir have a new play?"

"Well, 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart'... they cast Louis Koo and Daniel Wu..." Zheng Zhaoqiang remembered something: "Do you think To Sir will be interested in Yan Zai?"

You Dazhi shook his head: "Don't even think about introducing him. Yanzi is very conceited. His agent told me that he won't take any roles other than the leading role!"

"So crazy?"

“…So, he wrote the script himself and found the investment himself!”

Zheng Zhaoqiang pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it then."

He knows Du Qifeng very well...

Du Qifeng is well-known for not liking to use mainland actors because their styles are not suitable. His more famous films are all rooted in local gangster and police films. The backgrounds, stories, scenes, dialogues, and actions are all authentic Hong Kong productions. It is difficult for mainlanders to integrate into that atmosphere and they are easily distracted.

Secondly, he doesn't like mainland actors...

I think they are too rustic!

This is a deeply ingrained impression...and it's hard to change.

Of course, Shen Yan also looked down on Du Qifeng. In his eyes, he was just a typical outdated director...

"My Boxing Boyfriend", "Threesome", "Office"... each one is bad in its own way!

He also likes to make some speechless remarks!
Regarding his situation, Jin Yong had long ago said, "My novels are mainly about human nature, because human nature remains unchanged for thousands of years. I don't talk about politics, because politics is only temporary and the political environment will change quickly..."

……

In May, the sun is shining brightly.

"Introduction to Architecture" was filmed for forty-two days. At this time, Li Bingbing and Ren Quan had already finished filming their scenes and had left the crew.

Shi Shi’s scenes have also been completed!

But she didn't leave...

There are only a few scattered shots left, and I estimate that they will be all finished in two or three days. They are basically the scenes of Shen Yan and Dai Chunrong...

Dai Chunrong plays his mother...

You Dazhi really likes the family plot in "Introduction to Architecture"...

The T-shirt Seungmin threw away when he was young appeared on his mother's body twelve years later...

Including the kicked-in iron door, vegetables leaking from the refrigerator...

These details reveal the bitterness and selfless love of a widowed mother.

Seungmin is going to America...

Before leaving, his mother gave him the money from selling the shop...

Alas, the success of each generation is built on the foundation of the previous generation, and perhaps this is also the foundation of human social progress.

Every individual and every family strives to live a better life. This may be the driving force behind the progress of this society...
