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

Chapter 1003 It's impossible to adjust! (13)

The drama "The Rise of Phoenixes" has premiered, and the original author is criticizing Chen Kun...

Then Chen Kun's fans angrily posted: "I really don't understand. The copyright was sold, and Tianxia Guiyuan made money. I can change it however I want; how is changing it into a political intrigue dishonoring Tianxia Guiyuan? Even though this drama is currently a flop, it hasn't affected a single penny of money Tianxia Guiyuan has earned, right? And I believe that regardless of whether this drama can ultimately recover, its reputation will definitely be preserved. If you want to be your own screenwriter and make a Mary Sue romance novel with a strong female lead, find your own investors, don't sell the copyright! Such a low-class author is truly rare."

Shen Yan directly attacked on Weibo:
I really don't understand. You bought the copyright at a low price, kicked Tianxia Guiyuan out of the production team, and allowed them to change the script however they wanted. How did Tianxia Guiyuan do anything to wrong you, Chen Kun?
Although this show has flopped so far, it hasn't affected the money you, Chen Kun, have earned, has it?

You want to bring your own screenwriter to the production team and make a Mary Sue romance novel with a strong female lead and a strong male lead? Write the script yourself, don't buy the rights!
To incite fans to cyberbully the original author—such a low-class actor is truly rare.

Damn it, Hunan TV's Golden Eagle Exclusive Broadcast, such a great brand, built up over a decade, and you ruined it with just one drama, making it unable to even sell the title sponsorship...

How dare they boast about themselves?
Uh, Hunan TV has a group of career-oriented fans, nicknamed "Mango Spirits," who call themselves "Mango Elves" and gather on Baidu Tieba.

This is a group that doesn't care about celebrities' reputation, fans, or public image; they only care about viewership ratings.

Regardless of your public image or past achievements, they only care about one thing: viewership ratings.

If your ratings are high, you're Hunan TV's ratings queen/king; if your ratings are low, you're a flop, a troublemaker, and should get out of Hunan TV.

Then, "The Rise of Phoenixes" flopped in ratings, and the Mango TV forum was filled with lamentations.

Even during mid-term commercials, its viewership ratings were higher than "The Rise of Phoenixes," and at one point it even dropped below 0.16, with daytime dramas generally performing much better.

Mango Girl makes all sorts of sarcastic remarks about Chen Kun and Nini...

Nini remained silent, but Chen Kun, unconvinced, subtly posted a Weibo message in response to the "Mango Spirit" (a derogatory term for someone who promotes Mango).

The Mango fans were furious. A group of radio station fans who frequented online forums and only cared about ratings naturally only looked at actual results. Digging into ratings and actual results was a piece of cake for them.

And so, Chen Kun's first ever face-planting achievement was gloriously posted on Mango Tieba.

It was then reposted by major entertainment websites…

She's definitely a marketing expert, and it's undeniable!
In terms of awards, after 20 years in the industry, he has no gold medals, silver medals, or gold medals; he has no nominations for the Golden Eagle Award, Magnolia Award, or Flying Apsaras Award!

The only male actor in China who has been in the industry for 20 years and is still marketing his good looks.

The only actor in China to achieve a national viewership rating of 0.16 during Hunan TV's summer prime time slot;

In terms of television dramas: In his 20 years in the industry, he has participated in 23 dramas, starred in 19 dramas, had 12 dramas that could not be found online, and had 5 dramas that suffered terrible ratings!
As for the film industry…

In his 20-year career, he has participated in 26 films and starred in 21 of them. 16 of them were unprofitable, accounting for 76%, and 11 of them were huge losses, accounting for 52%. Excluding the big IP films such as "Mojin: The Lost Legend" (supported by Huayi Brothers, Wanda Group, and Enlight Media), the female-centric film "Painted Skin" (12), and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" (starring Li Lianjie), the box office of his starring films is less than 6 million yuan!
Impressive Record: 13 films in his career grossed less than 2000 million, and 8 films grossed less than 1000 million. "Shoulder to Shoulder" set a record by bankrupting a film company…

Isn't this considered a marketing guru?
Let's also dig up the much-hyped "The Story of a Noble Family": Data shows that "The Story of a Noble Family" was not among the top ten TV dramas in 2003!

Including the top ten TV dramas broadcast on CCTV!

There's no "The Story of a Noble Family"!
Shen Yan reposted this content and added, "Please make a table of my viewership ratings and box office figures... Also, as a Changsha native, Hunan TV and I are preparing to launch the 'Ideals Illuminate All of China' series, as well as three tribute dramas: 'Asking the Vast Expanse' and 'The Age of Awakening'!"

Shen Yan has always been a hater of Chen Kun…

The industry is well aware of this; however, Chen Kun previously had a very good relationship with BJ Culture and Kung Fu Pictures…

Beijing Culture itself is a circle. Kung Fu Pictures was founded by Chen Kuo-fu, who was known as the number one producer in the Chinese entertainment industry when he was at Huayi Brothers.

Moreover, Chen Kun is associated with Chen Guofu—the three of them, Chen Guofu, Chen Kun, and Zhou Xun, founded the Mountain Brand.

This includes acting training, signing artists, and artist development...

One-stop service! We've signed Zhang Jingyi, Zhou You…

The "Fengshen" trilogy, with a massive investment of 3 billion yuan, has been officially announced!

The production consultant was the producer of "The Lord of the Rings".

The script consultant wrote "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The most expensive special effects were handled by the special effects team behind Star Wars and Independence Day…

The creators repeatedly reiterated their cinematic ideals in front of others: to establish a heavy industry of domestic fantasy films and to promote Chinese culture abroad at all costs.

Behind the scenes, everyone knows how to make money – after the official announcement of Chen Kun's character poster for the "Fengshen Trilogy," the film's production company, BJ Culture, saw its stock price hit the daily limit.

An actor like Chen Kun has long since transcended being just an actor.

He was also part of the game of capital...

Then Shen Yan officially announced the news of the "Shushan" trilogy, with himself serving as the director, creating a large-scale Eastern fantasy industrial production!

He even told industry insiders, "Whenever 'Investiture of the Gods' is released, 'The Legend of Zu' will be released too!"

Okay, the main issue is with "Shushan"... the cast is undecided, the script is still unavailable, and Shen Yan doesn't have the time...

Even if we do this series, it will have to wait until next year at the earliest!
……

Lu Yang and Chen Kun have a good relationship...

The relationship originated with Chen Kuo-fu. Chen Kuo-fu provided a lot of help to Lu Yang's directorial debut, "Blind Cinema," recommending it to the Busan International Film Festival, where it won the KNN Award in the New Currents section, a prize of $3!

However, he also knew that Shen Yan looked down on Chen Kun…

I look down on them in every sense of the word!

So he asked, "Is there any possibility that you and Chen Kun can reconcile?"

Shen Yan countered with, "What do you think?"

Then he stopped talking!

The conversation shifted to the film *Shadow*, and Shen Yan said, "Zhang Yimou's *Shadow*... is adapted from *The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Jingzhou*... It tells the story of a body double, focusing on so-called forbearance and power struggles, the cunning and cruelty of human nature. The entire film lacks any heroic spirit..."

"It seems like it should be changed to a fictional world!"

“He knows he’ll be criticized if he doesn’t make it a fictional story…” Shen Yan sighed: “The Three Kingdoms, an era of heroes, and they’re making a film about Jingzhou where the protagonist isn’t Guan Yu… I really don’t know what they were thinking!”

After a pause, Shen Yan added, "It's highly likely that it won't be as good as 'Family Dragon's Armor Removal'!"

"Although the plot of 'Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon' is a complete mess, it captured the spirit and soul of heroes!"

Lu Yang nodded and added, "Zhang Yimou's period dramas all have one thing in common: there are no good guys—all the bad guys die, and the one who wins in the end is the most dangerous and cruel person! 'Curse of the Golden Flower' is a typical example. Chow Yun-fat plays a king who has a mysterious army that never shows itself. He seems to be able to control everyone as if he can dominate everything. Everyone is alienated by the cage of power. The only thing that has vitality and is immortal is power."

"Hero... well, the ending scene that Zhang Yi originally conceived for Hero was that after the nameless character played by Li Lianjie was killed, hundreds of ministers suddenly burst into laughter and kowtowed to Qin Shi Huang: 'Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have escaped a calamity!'"
