Chapter 155 Dealing with Trouble (1/4)

What kind of dramas do grandparents like to watch?

In fact, the requirements are different. Some people like to watch life films, about family matters, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and trivial matters.

Generally speaking, it’s best to have a sense of time, and the protagonist should be particularly kind and strong.

Some people prefer anti-Japanese dramas...

Many people say that watching anti-Japanese dramas has a negative impact on people, after all, war is a serious matter...

But you will know the answer as long as you watch a few anti-Japanese dramas.

Although it is a fantastic drama, it is quite relaxing and enjoyable to watch.

You don't use your brain at all!

Shen Yan pondered for a moment, then said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going to make an anti-Japanese drama, do you want to watch it?"

"Anti-Japanese?"

"Yeah... doesn't Grandpa like Snow Leopard?"

Grandpa shook his head: "Although 'Snow Leopard' is good, it's... too fake... not profound enough!"

Shen Yan was speechless: "Profound things don't have much ratings!"

"Who said that? Aren't "The Right Path in the World is Vicissitudes" and "The Grand Mansion Gate" profound enough?"

"...Let me think about it!" Shen Yan pondered for a moment...

It needs depth and ratings...I suddenly remembered a TV series.

"Grandpa, what do you think of The Battle of Changsha?"

Grandpa was a little excited: "The Battle of Changsha?"

Shen Yan shook his head. "The Battle of Changsha is too big... 'The Battle of Changsha' uses a small story to illustrate a larger story. It tells the story of the decline of a relatively wealthy family in Changsha during the Anti-Japanese War through the lives of one family as the main plot and against the backdrop of the Anti-Japanese War... I've read that novel, and it focuses on the impact of the war on the people of Changsha..."

Grandma nodded: "I think it's good!"

"Exactly. In recent years, all the anti-Japanese war dramas have been set in either Shanghai, BJ, or Chongqing...none of them have taken place in Changsha!"

Shen Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll ask my agent to buy the adaptation rights immediately!"

"Film it well, and then have your second uncle come over to do the art… Oh, and contact Hunan TV, so we can do it together!"

"Second Uncle is very good at this type of thing, but is it Hunan TV?"

"If you want to defend Changsha, can Hunan TV not contribute?"

Uh, that’s right!

Grandma was also a little excited: "When will it be filmed?"

Shen Yan said, "No rush. The company needs to purchase the rights to the TV adaptation first... This kind of war drama definitely needs to be registered with the relevant departments... There are a lot of formalities to go through... It will take until next year at the latest to start, and we'll be able to watch it the year after next!"

"…novel? Who wrote it?"

"I saw it a couple of days ago...it seems to be written by an author named Que Que..."

As he was talking, Shen Yan took out his cell phone and called Ji Xiang...

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and Ji Xiang kept confirming that Shen Yan had bought a novel about the Anti-Japanese War and that he planned to star in it himself...

Shen Yan patiently replied: "Yes, I plan to star in an anti-Japanese war drama myself!"

“…Okay, I’ll go find out!”

Seeing Shen Yan hang up the phone, Grandpa asked: "Is it done?"

Shen Yan said: "...First, buy the adaptation rights... and then contact the filming team. I don't trust a regular team to shoot this drama!"

"I don't understand this either... You said we can watch it on TV next year?"

"Well, I can guarantee that."

……

Shen Yan originally planned to stay at home for about ten days, but he left on the fifth day...

The news of his return home spread on the third day, and then, a large number of relatives came to ask for money...

There were even two uncles whom I had never met...a grandmother who was crying bitterly...but they forced a large-scale family reunion scene!

He rushed over to Shen Yan...

Saying things like 'You've suffered so much over the years' and 'Your mother doesn't want you, but I want you!'

Shen Yan exercised utmost restraint—he didn't drive them out.

Although they didn't directly ask for money... they just said "we will compensate him" and "after all, he is my grandson"...

But Shen Yan couldn't bear it anymore and left!

There are so many weird things.

Shen Yan remembered two encounters with his uncle. The first time, his uncle ignored him, and the second time, his uncle called him a "bastard," and he walked away in shame...

Not all uncles are Erlang Shen!

As for Grandma...

It was she who urged her mother to divorce, and she was determined not to marry Shen Yan—it would be difficult to remarry with a burden...

That makes sense!
But who are you performing this for now?
It seems Shen Yan's mother married and moved to Guangzhou. Anyway, I haven't seen her for more than ten years...

Before leaving, Shen Yan specially left 30,000 yuan in cash for his grandmother - pocket money!

He also gave his cousin a bank card with only 80,000 yuan in it, and told her that if she wanted to act after graduation, she could come find him.

Fortunately they didn't report it directly to the media...

Shen Yan handled these things with the mentality of a bystander - cutting the Gordian knot and not admitting any guilt!

Don’t blame him for being cruel. He doesn’t even recognize his mother, let alone his relatives.

I guess they'll go to some media, newspapers, etc. and say he's 'uncaring about family ties' and 'unrecognizing poor relatives when he's rich' or something like that...

But Shen Yan was not worried. He had already talked about his family on "Happy Camp" and later repeated it several times in countless interviews!

It can be said that anyone who pays attention to him knows these things...

The so-called hat of not recognizing relatives after becoming rich... cannot be put on his head!
……

Well, there was media coverage after all!

I don't know how they got the nerve to approach reporters...

But it was reported!

It was pretty much what he thought, saying he had "no family affection" and "after becoming rich, he no longer recognized his relatives!"

Although it wasn't a big deal, a lot of media outlets went to harass my grandparents...

Shen Yan... is quite speechless...

I simply posted a statement on Weibo:

"I had no intention of responding because I felt very embarrassed to use public resources for personal matters."

"I think everyone knows my situation. When I was five, my parents divorced and no one wanted me. My grandparents and my second uncle's family raised me... It's similar to Li Mi's situation in 'The Petition for Justice'... No, I'm much better off than him. I have my second uncle and my second aunt!"

"My second aunt is a truly amazing music teacher. When I first played the violin at the age of six, she immediately recognized my perfect pitch... She resolutely resigned from her job to devote herself to my development.

But there is not enough money... Although my second uncle's family has some wealth, they still cannot afford the artistic training of a child. After all, a Pearl River piano costs at least 8,000 yuan!
At that time, Second Aunt's monthly salary as a teacher was more than a thousand yuan.

Fortunately, she had a few wealthy friends, so they pooled their money to set up an art training class and bought a lot of second-hand musical instruments...

Then my second aunt "forced" me to learn violin, piano, keyboard, accordion, and guitar... even trumpet, saxophone, and flute...

It was also her education that laid a solid foundation for me in music.”

"As for other relatives... I don't remember them, not even once!"

"I am not a slave, don't treat me like a slave owner..."

"Also, a warning to the media: stop harassing my grandparents... Several reporters pointed their cameras at the elderly. What do you want? My grandfather is a Party member, not a criminal! Is this how you treat an old comrade?"

"I'm a public figure, I have an obligation to give interviews, but my grandparents don't... If I'm pushed to the limit, I'll sue you for harassment!"

"Finally, I apologize again. I'm very sorry that my personal matter has taken up public resources!"
