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

Chapter 1005 Dissatisfaction (33)

The Three Kingdoms theme is difficult to work with!

The 3D animated version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which claimed to be a faithful recreation of the original work and aimed for a comprehensive and complete story, suffered a disastrous loss.

The movie "Dynasty Warriors" also lost a lot of money.

In short, the failure rate of Three Kingdoms-themed dramas is actually very high!

However, Zhu Sujin's "Three Kingdoms" had high ratings and rerun rates. It seems that whatever screenwriter Zhu writes becomes a hit!

Zhu is indeed quite good at screenwriting, but you can't pair him with an abstract director. If you do, it will create a chemical reaction, activate his abstract soul, and lead him to the ultimate abstract realm.

He could work with Chen Jialin to produce "Kangxi Dynasty", with Jiang Wen to produce "Let the Bullets Fly", with Feng Xiaoning to produce "Zhu Yuanzhang", and he also wrote the screenplay for "My Brother is Shunliu".

Many people say that "The New Three Kingdoms", "Zhu Yuanzhang" and "Kangxi Dynasty" have a common feature: they are like the immature values ​​of teenagers, vulgar conspiracy theories and low-level power struggles. It feels like they are cosplaying Liu Heping but they do not have Liu Heping's level of writing conspiracy theories and power struggles. At the same time, their ideological content is far inferior to his, resulting in a very awkward performance.

But if you compare them, "Zhu Yuanzhang" and "Kangxi Dynasty" have far more hilarious moments and memorable scenes than "Legend of Chu and Han".

"The Legend of Chu and Han" is boring and tedious, but Zhu Sujin's dramas are not so boring at all!
The conclusion is clear: Zhu Sujin is competent, but he has a core problem: he habitually ignores common sense, logic, or historical facts for the sake of drama. Therefore, the director who works with him cannot be an abstract type, a typical example being Gao Xixi!
That would involve abstract concepts, so we can't let him write books that are known to everyone, otherwise, please refer to the consequences of "New Three Kingdoms" and "Investiture of the Gods".

Then we can see that Gao Xixi's films like "New Three Kingdoms," "Legend of Chu and Han," "The Great Battle," and "New Shanghai Bund" are at a normal level. Even without Zhu Sujin, he could still produce quite a few abstract works...

The unexpected thing was "The Sky of History".

Of course, Zhang Fengyi and Li Xuejian are real big names in "The Sky of History," and they restrained Gao Xixi from doing abstract things!

As an aside, Chu Su-Chin was the lead screenwriter for "Let the Bullets Fly," which was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Golden Horse Awards.

Oh, the short video series "My Father Guan Yu" by Hongguo begins with Guan Yu's defeat at Maicheng. The protagonist's soul then enters the body of Guan Yu's son, Guan Xing, and proposes a series of solutions to prevent Guan Yu's defeat and death...

It only had one season...

As for taking an unconventional approach...

In fact, dramas that take an unconventional approach usually just tell a popular topic from a different perspective, like "The Advisors Alliance," rather than telling a less popular story...

"The Secret of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Wind Rises in Longxi" are actually considered niche series!
If we were to make a movie…

Could Zhang Jiao be used as the main character?
Zhang Jiao was too mysterious, and he had no descendants.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, causing widespread famine and leading to cannibalism.

Yellow Turban rebels?
You all call me a thief, but what have I stolen?
The true account should be: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, famine struck the land, people resorted to cannibalism, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out!"

Zhang Jiao indeed met the standards of a religious saint: he did not use incense money for usury, did not sell indulgences, did not use connections to obtain tax-free privileges, did not annex land, and did not sleep with young boys.

He was like an ascetic.

As for why he started the rebellion?
The Yellow Turban Rebellion lasted only a year before Zhang Jiao died. He was incredibly incompetent. It's less that he wanted to be emperor and more that he acted out of sheer rage...

Let's find Zhu Sujin and see what he thinks...

……

"Lu Yang is gone?"

"Um,"

Shen Yan nodded, sat down, and prepared to have a sip of tea…

Shi Shi leaned closer, holding a script in her hand: "This 'Sisters Who Buy Me Food'...you're planning to cast Yang Mi in it?"

“…Yes!” Shen Yan smiled. “She’s two years older than me, so she’s kind of like an older sister!”

"...There are a lot of intimate scenes."

"It's more like an idol drama." Shen Yan didn't look up and continued scrolling through Weibo...

The recent trending topic on Weibo is 'Fan Bingbing fined 8.84 million yuan!'

—The State Taxation Administration revealed that Fan evaded taxes amounting to 2.48 million yuan by splitting contracts and concealing income. He will eventually have to pay back taxes, late fees, and fines totaling 8.84 million yuan!

From then on, Bingbing had another nickname: Fan the Eight Hundred Million!
Actually, it's 900 million... 8.84 million...

This data shocked the entire internet!
What concept?
This is equivalent to one hundred white-collar workers with an annual salary of 30 yuan working for 30 years without eating or drinking;
This is equivalent to four times the amount of an entire wall that Zhao Dehan embezzled in "In the Name of the People";

It would take two or three armored trucks working together to move it;
To win five million every day, you would need to win for six months straight.

If you earn an annual salary of 20, you would have to start working from the time of Yu the Great's flood control efforts (around 2000 BC) to barely earn 8 million by 2018!
"Are you looking at Fan Bingbing?"

"Um…"

"Her endorsements have basically all been snapped up..." Shi Shi said, "Guerlain, Montblanc, Cartier, Adidas Originals, Mercedes-Benz, and so on..."

Shen Yan thought for a moment and asked in return, "You seem to have signed with Cartier?"

"I signed with Montblanc... Cartier and Tiffany are competitors..."

"Oh...I almost forgot!"

Bulgari, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Tiffany & Co. are all internationally renowned jewelry brands…

Shi Shi suddenly remembered something: "Don't you also endorse Chow Tai Fook?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Yes..."

"Should we switch brands?"

Shen Yan waved his hand: "...No need. I have a very pleasant working relationship with Chow Tai Fook. I shoot an advertisement every year...and I don't need to participate in any store opening events...I've been the spokesperson for almost six years!"

Shi Shi added, "In 'Sisters Who Buy Me Food'... isn't Yang Mi's age too far off? I read the script, and she's 36!"

Okay, Shishi seems a little jealous...

After all, "In the Rain" has quite a few romantic scenes...

The daily interactions between the younger, more assertive man and the mature, older woman are bound to involve lots of kisses and hugs…

Shen Yan smiled and asked in return, "Who can I turn to?"

Shi Shi counted on her fingers: "...Wan Qian, Song Jia are both fine, Yin Tao is also okay!"

"Then go tell Sister Honey...she's really looking forward to this script!"

"Forget it..."

Shi Shi's expression was a little gloomy...

The female lead in "In the Rain" has many memorable moments.

This drama is quite realistic!
It's not just a simple sweet romance drama...

It's actually more like a mundane slice-of-life drama, without too many melodramatic romance plots or fast-paced dramatic stories. The biggest highlight of this drama is the female lead's experiences in the workplace and in love...

Yang Mi's age is perfect for this kind of role!
Shen Yan suggested, "How about you become the producer... and stay on set all the time?"

"I'm not that bored..."

Shi Shi shook her head and changed the subject: "Jin Chen wants to sign with my studio, what do you think?"

Shen Yan was surprised: "Jin Chen? She hasn't left Tangren yet?"

Oh, "Go to the Windy Place," Jin Chen plays Da Mai (previous text has been revised)...

In the original timeline, she signed with Taiyang Chuanhe and became Taiyang Chuanhe's top female star!
After changing agencies, her resources increased significantly, and her career reached a turning point.

Not only is she a household name in the dance world, but she's also flourishing in film, television, and variety shows...

It's rare for a player to be snatched away these days...
