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

Chapter 246 Daily Life on the Crew (1/4)

In November, the weather in Chongqing turns cooler...

The river breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

Shen Yan got up at 8: in the morning, ran around the hotel for an hour, then went back to the room to wash up. At about o'clock, he went downstairs to have breakfast.

Wu Jing and Lu Yang are already waiting for him...

Lu Yang saw him and asked: "Are you running again?"

"Yeah," Shen Yan nodded: "Let's use up some extra energy!"

Lu Yang was puzzled: "Didn't your girlfriend just leave for two days?"

"You should have said you've been gone for two days!"

Wu Jing sighed a little: "I was also full of energy when I was young!"

Shen Yan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Brother Jing, I heard you used to love diving?"

Wu Jing blushed immediately and was about to explain when Lu Yang asked curiously, "What the hell?"

Shen Yan suppressed a laugh: "It is said that he had an ex-girlfriend. On the eve of their engagement, his girlfriend suddenly broke up with him and ran away at the last minute...

The day after their breakup, Wu Jing took his engagement ring to Wuzhizhou Island in Sanya, Hainan. He donned a diving suit and dove 17 meters into the ocean. Finding a rocky promontory, he hid the ring among the rocks on the bay's reef shore and covered it with boulders. From then on, whenever he felt lonely, he would go diving in the familiar sea, listening to the waves alone...

Lu Yang was surprised: "Really?"

"I also know who it is, and who this woman is with!"

"With whom?"

Wu Jing was a little angry: "Stop talking!"

"Well... I won't say anything more," Shen Yan quickly shut up...

Wu Jing has two ex-girlfriends. The first one is Fan Yik Man, the heroine of "Tai Chi Master". She thought he was too poor, so she turned to the arms of stock market tycoon Luo Zhaohui.

The one who was diving was called Fatma Yaqi, and she was also once talking about marriage!
Unfortunately, beauty cannot escape the temptation of money. Like Fan Yimin, Yaqi soon fell in love with someone else and lived with Zhang Ama, who was 25 years older than her. The poor boy Wu Jing was abandoned again.

That’s right, Ama Zhang!

However, Wu Jing should be with Xie Nan now...

When "New Shaolin Temple" premiered, the two of them were already exchanging glances.

Lu Yang whispered, "Everyone has a few ex-girlfriends...it's common!"

"... Let's not talk about this anymore." Shen Yan waved his hand and asked, "Brother Jing, when we're going to practice our moves later, please be gentle!"

"Don't worry about this, I won't use any heavy hands!"

“…What do you think of Hua’s action design?”

"He does have more ground moves than Li Zhongzhi..."

Shen Yan nodded: "This guy only knows how to hang on a tightrope. His "combat awareness" or understanding of "modern fighting concepts" in fashion action movies is very shallow. He can perform a few wonderful moves, but the degree of completion is not high. He often relies on various obvious anti-gravity pressure designs as the ending moves!"

Wu Jing shook his head: "Not really, Black Fist is well designed!"

"Then he must have one or two representative works, otherwise, how will he make a living?"

"Black Fist" was not released in mainland China, but this movie is the work that helped Wu Jing gain a foothold in Hong Kong!
Directed by Luo Shouyao, starring Wu Jing—his character is Gao Gang—the plot is simple: National martial arts champion Gao Gang joins a Peking Opera troupe for a short performance in Hong Kong, where underground boxing host Ma Haoqiang lures Gao Gang into participating in an underground boxing match...

Gao Gang is also a common supporting character in Hong Kong variety shows...

After "Black Fist", there were "Twin Thieves", "True Man", "The King's Avatar"...

The action design for these works is basically done by Li Zhongzhi.

Shen Yan continued, "I still can't stand 'Wolf Tooth'... A realistic fashion action movie ended up being like 'The Matrix'..."

“…He’s still got some skills!”

"Come on..." Shen Yan rolled his eyes. "Zhao Jian and Sang Lin both mentioned that only martial artists whose moves are not good enough would abuse coercion to make up for it. What do you think, Lu Yang?"

Lu Yang: "...I think that Japanese guy is quite capable!"

"Tanigaki Kenji...is also a member of the Zhen Clan. He was the action director for 'Shinjuku Incident' and 'Rurouni Kenshin', so he's quite talented himself! 'Big Shot' was Brother Hua's first time doing action design alone, and he wasn't sure about it, so he called Tanigaki Kenji over as well!" Shen Yan continued, "He's very good at light combat choreography, anti-gravity ground sliding, close-quarters grappling, and takedowns. This one was adapted from Zidan's diving takedown."

"Rurouni Kenshin?"

"...Japanese sword and halberd films, quite nice..."

Lu Yang waved his hand: "I'm just curious that you know Rurouni Kenshin!"

"Have you seen it too?"

"I read comics... Do you like Japanese anime?"

“…Who in our generation hasn’t watched Japanese anime?”

"I watch Dr. IQ, Dinosaur Express Ks-X, Berserk, and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure..."

Shen Yan was surprised: "You have them from the 10s to the s!"

"Have you seen them all?"

“I’ve probably read…”

"Are you pursuing anyone now?"

Shen Yan pondered for a moment, then said: "Now let's watch "Sword Art Online", "JOJO", "Code Geass"..."

Lu Yang immediately asked: "Where do you watch it from?"

“…Just buy the comics…”

The two chatted about the two-dimensional world for a long time, and Wu Jing could only stare blankly at the side... He couldn't get a word in about this thing!

……

Entering November, the film market has become quite quiet...

Although, this year's National Day box office was not very popular - "Painted Skin" and "Legend of White Snake" failed to break 200 million in the final box office!
After that, Hollywood movies such as "Limitless" and "Green Lantern" failed to exceed 5000 million...

However, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", which was released on October 10, received good reviews and took in nearly 28 million at the box office in three days!
By the way, Chen Zhengdao’s “The Happiness Index” was released on October 10th. In the first three days, the box office did not reach 20 million... After 1000 days of release, the box office was 10 million... It is estimated that there is no hope of breaking 2100 million!
This result left many people dumbfounded!
The starring lineup of "The Happiness Quota" is Chen Kun + Lin Zhiling + Liao Fan, and the producer is Xiaoma Pentium... The cost is close to 4000 million.

Market performance...that’s it?
After all, Chen Zhengdao’s previous film “Back to 20” grossed 2.47 million yuan, and “The Beauty Inside” grossed 4.24 million yuan…

Is it because of the schedule?
But October 10th was the date they chose themselves...

Producer Zhang Yibai asked on Weibo about the box office failure... Ning Caishen suggested he ask Shen Yan...

Then he really @Shen Yan...

Shen Yan ignored him and just said, "I'm not a movie expert, this movie has nothing to do with me, and I have no obligation to help you..."

It's very cold!

Many people speculated that it was because Chen Zhengdao didn’t look for him…

There was even a rumor that Shen Yan had always had a crush on Lin Zhiling, but Chen Zhengdao didn't use him, so the two of them turned against each other...

The more outrageous the scandal, the more people are willing to believe it!

Even the filming location of "Big Shot" was mentioned by Lu Yang and Wu Jing, who teased Shen Yan about it...

Brother Yan was a little speechless: "I haven't even talked to her!"

“…You’ve filmed commercials before, right?”

"No..." Shen Yan shook his head: "I only saw him at the event... But you also know that my attitude towards Taiwanese artists is to ignore them!"

"I guess her team made up this news..."

"She's like a psychopath. She's already a 40-year-old woman!"

Executive producer Zhang Ning chimed in: "That's awesome too!"

"…What's wrong? You want to film with her?"

"I don't want to... So far, she's lost money on almost every film she's starred in!"
