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

Chapter 90 I just came over to film a scene! (210)
Shen Yan is very handsome!

The key is that he has a kind of yuppie temperament...

The masculine kind!
Besides that, he also gives people a sense of elegance...

This kind of complex temperament is very popular with women, especially young girls in their 20s...

You have to know that a normal human being will yearn for the opposite sex. Since they cannot have a normal relationship, they can only do it secretly, and the best person to have an affair with is someone in the same circle.

Shen Yan fits the bill perfectly!

Most importantly, Ji Xiang felt that Shen Yan was not the kind of person who followed the rules...

Although I don’t know how he came up with this idea, Shen Yan really would not hook up with the woman of a wealthy man!
This is called following the rules.

What's more, he has a girlfriend, and they are still in the honeymoon period.

I have no intention of betraying Shi Shi for the time being...

Ji Xiang remembered something and said, "Oh, Shi Shi also played a role!"

"What the hell? Did you arrange this?"

"Well...she plays your twin sister, Xiang Xinran!"

“…Guest appearance?”

"It's just a regular role, where I get paid!" Ji Xiang explained: "I was talking to Cai Yinong about 'Lotus Tower' and mentioned 'Back to 20' in passing, and she agreed!"

“…Is Cai Yinong mentally ill?”

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yan was puzzled: "Why let Shi Shi play a supporting role?"

Ji Xiang took it for granted: "...She's just an idol drama actress, it's lucky she got a role in a movie!"

Shen Yan was silent...

Well, times are different again!
In Shen Yan's opinion, Liu Shishi and Yang Mi are both top-tier celebrities, but during this period of time, there is no such thing as a top-tier celebrity...

For them, having a movie to look for is really an opportunity.

Yang Mi's first film, "Far Cry," which shocked the film industry, was actually a low-quality domestic horror film with a total investment of less than 500 million yuan...

The fan economy hasn't become the norm yet—fan films have significantly transformed the Chinese film and television industry, allowing many idols without real talent to enter the film industry. These films then achieve strong box office returns thanks to the ticket sales and theater lock-in efforts of their fanatical, brainwashed fans.

Then... many people, including Shen Yan, believe that for an actor, acting skills are not as important as status, and having a representative work that goes viral is the real achievement!

But... the current consensus is: idol dramas are just soap operas, meant to kill time. They can't even compare to serious dramas, let alone movies...

Belong to the bottom of the contempt chain!

After thinking for a while, Shen Yan asked, "Which company are you going to ask to do the script of 'Love Through the Millennium'?"

“…How is Huace?”

"If you can get investment, we might as well do it ourselves!"

"do it yourself?"

"Yeah, let's find a TV station..."

Ji Xiang shook his head: "Several first-tier TV stations are busy developing their own dramas...it's impossible for them to invest in newcomers' works!"

"I'm not a newcomer, I'm planning to act in this play with Shi Shi..."

Ji Xiang still shook his head: "...not good enough!"

Well...it's definitely not good enough!
I have to admit that at this time, Shi Shi is at most a popular star, while Shen Yan is just a rookie...

These two people don't have the status to make the TV station pay for them...

Shen Yan pondered for a moment and said, "Then I'll find a video website... I heard that Sohu and Youku are fighting fiercely!"

"Video website?"

"Yeah, now all the major video sites are vying for exclusive broadcast rights... Haven't you seen the reports?"

At the beginning of 2010, Internet copyright disputes led to a rise in the price of film and television copyrights. The price of the first broadcast rights of a popular movie rose to 180 million to 200 million yuan, while the price in the previous year was only more than 10 yuan.

The price increase for TV dramas is even more outrageous, with copyright prices for hit dramas skyrocketing!

Take "Beauty's Schemes" as an example. Its online copyright costs more than 20 yuan per episode, and the purchase price for one platform exceeds 800 million yuan... You have to know that a year ago, the most expensive online copyright for a TV series was only about 5000 yuan per episode, and two years ago, the price was a few hundred yuan.

——The online rights to 80 episodes of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" are only sold for 10 yuan...

Exclusive broadcast rights are more expensive!

Today, as online videos develop rapidly and constantly seek mainstream values and profit models, copyright has become a crucial link in the life-and-death battle of online video websites - whoever owns a large number of copyrights will have the last laugh.

Then you can directly participate in the investment and production and get the exclusive rights first!

Ji Xiang obviously understood all this and nodded: "I'll go and ask around..."

"No rush, wait until 'Introduction to Architecture' is released, then go and ask!"

"You think so highly of this movie?"

"I wouldn't say I'm optimistic, but with 'Introduction to Architecture', I can say I have a work!"

"Isn't 'The Weaver Girl at the End of the World' your work?"

"→_→"

Shen Yan looked at him like this, without saying anything...

Ji Xiang was a little embarrassed: "... The broadcast of 'Tianya Zhinu' is really not very good. I heard from Tangren that 'The Strange Hero Yizhimei' will be aired in October."

Shen Yan was speechless: "Snow Leopard also premiered in October. What kind of luck is this?"

"The genres are different... 'Snow Leopard' is an anti-Japanese drama, while 'Strange Hero Yizhimei' is a martial arts drama..."

“…You’ll know when the time comes!”

……

Although Shen Yan didn't know the specific ratings of "Snow Leopard", he knew that "Snow Leopard" was very popular, which directly sent Wen Zhang's salary to the ranks of top male actors. After "Snow Leopard", his salary increased to 70 per episode!
In fact, the first broadcast platform of "Snow Leopard" was Hunan TV's TV drama channel, and then it was broadcast on Sichuan Satellite TV.

After the show was aired, it achieved a high viewership rating of over 4% for two consecutive days, ranking first in the national ratings for the : PM slot.

It directly made Sichuan Satellite TV popular!

Yes, "Snow Leopard" and "The Strange Hero Yizhimei" are not of the same genre...

But it aired at the same time...

It will definitely be affected!
Don’t think too much about it for now...

The next day, Shen Yan joined the crew of "Back to 20"...

"Back to 20" is a collaboration between Starlight Brilliant, DMG Imprint Media, and Qujiang Film and Television Group...

Maybe it was because of previous experience that the producer felt that he needed to join forces with other producers to bring the pressure to the table!

DMG Imprint Media has mentioned Qujiang Film and Television Group before. Anyway, the co-producer of "Warring States" is also Qujiang Film and Television Group...

"Back to 20" didn't hire many big names. Gui Yalei played Shen Mengjun, and music director Tan Ziming found Liu Ye.
The Xiang family's daughter-in-law found Tao Hong, while Xiang Guobin found Li Zixiong...

Oh, and there’s Li Dahai, who found Ma Jingwu!

Ma Jingwu, a teacher in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy. There's nothing wrong with calling him a teacher. From the early 60s to the mid-90s, almost all students in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy had attended his classes...

Zhang Fengyi, Zhang Tielin, Zhang Jiayi, Wang Zhiwen, Tang Guoqiang, Kou Zhenhai, Song Chunli and Huang Lei are all his students!
As for Xiang Qianjin's band... the bassist and drummer are Wang Yuexin and Zhang Yuan respectively...

The former lead singer was Kan Qingzi.

Shen Yan doesn't have many scenes, he plays the grandson...

However, when director Chen Zhengdao saw him join the crew, he immediately made a arrangements to welcome him and prepared to have a long chat with him.

After all, he is a screenwriter!
He also wrote three songs for the film.

It can be said that although "Back to 20" is directed by Chen Zhengdao, if you look deeper, it is actually the work of Shen Yan!
Most importantly, Chen Zhengdao was recommended by Shen Yan...

Chen Zhengdao is a Taiwanese director. Although he formed the director team, he still felt a little uncomfortable filming in BJ...

However, Shen Yan obviously didn't want to deal with these things and declined: "...No, Director, I just want to act in a play. The storyboards are already written, you just need to shoot according to them!"

“Your thoughts are important!”

"...No, my ideas are already written into the script... You just shoot it, I'm your soldier."
