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

Chapter 291 Year-End (14)

That evening, Shen Yan posted a Weibo post: "I've already scolded her, so please stop scolding her... By the way, I should explain that what she posted was indeed written by me... Anyway, the situation is now settled, so it's okay for me to write some honest thoughts, right?"
"This is just my personal opinion; if there are different views, we can discuss it..."

"In addition, I heard that China and the United States have started negotiations on resolving WTO-related issues concerning films, and it is estimated that the mainland market will soon open up to Hollywood blockbusters... Everyone should pay more attention to this matter!"

As soon as the Weibo post was published, fans immediately swarmed around it:
"Damn, Yan-ge, aren't you afraid of offending Director Zhang by being so bold?"

"Exactly, he's a big director, the kind who can command a lot of followers. Maybe we should have your sister delete her Weibo account?"

Uh…

The fans are reliable and know Zhang Yimou's industry standing.

Many people advised him to delete his Weibo posts…

Of course, Brother Yan completely ignored him.

This doesn't hold water!
Ah Mou isn't a narrow-minded person; he's different from Xiao Daren...

Xiao Daren is definitely not magnanimous; his previous team disbanded long ago…

Zhang Yimou was once vilified by the national media. When he first debuted, he was criticized for "making films about China's scars to please foreign countries and cheat for awards." Later, when he made commercial films, such as "Hero," was released, a group of people even held a serious seminar in Beijing to study and criticize "Hero"... Not to mention the Athens eight-minute segment...

If he had time to hold grudges, he wouldn't need to be a director...

All you ever think about is revenge!
Moreover, Shen Yan had never considered collaborating with Zhang Yi; they were simply not on the same wavelength...

Ah Mou's films are deeply influenced by his era...

……

"This year's New Year's Eve... Hunan TV?"

"Yeah, I'll start... and then I'll go home for dinner!"

Why aren't you going to Jiangsu TV anymore?

Shen Yan waved his hand: "I'm too busy..."

"I've noticed you've been taking a lot of time off these past few days..."

"I can't help it, it's the end of the year, and there are a bunch of award ceremonies to attend. I don't want to go, but I have to!"

On the set of "Battle of Changsha," Shen Yan sat in the lounge, completely lost in thought...

He chatted idly with Tan Songyun...

a bit tired.

For about ten consecutive days, Shen Yan attended various award ceremonies, including the Oriental Billboard Music Awards, the Global Chinese Music Awards, the MusicRadio China TOP Chart Annual Golden Melody Awards, and the CCTV-MTV Music Awards…

Shen Yan swept the awards for Album of the Year, Best Original Singer of the Year, Musician of the Year, and Most Popular Male Singer with his album "Youth"...

Although music awards in the Chinese entertainment industry are really just about dividing up the spoils!

But even having a platform for dividing pork is nice...

Moreover, Shen Yan almost always wins the biggest award whenever he appears on screen.

Oh, popular musicians like him don't usually get an appearance fee for attending award ceremonies, but they do get reimbursed for airfare, hotel, makeup, and hair expenses.

The number of people who can be reimbursed and the level of expenses are determined by the celebrity's status; he is definitely at the top level!

So, he even brought his grandparents and aunt to the Top Chinese Music Awards ceremony...

He thanked his second aunt in front of everyone…

Besides music award ceremonies, he also attended the China TV Drama Awards, the Golden Lotus Awards at the Macau International Television Festival, and the Huading Awards…

He won a bunch of awards for Most Popular Actor in a TV Series of the Year—for "Lotus Pavilion" and "Love Through a Millennium"...

Oh, and I also went to Macau to attend the Macau International Film Festival, where I won Best Actor...

Of course, this award has zero prestige—the Best Picture award went to "Guan Yun Chang," yes, the one starring Donnie Yen!
Later, it was also awarded to "The Amazing World" and "My War"...

Oh, and Liu Yifei also won Best Actress!

So, how prestigious can an award be given to Liu Yifei?

Shen Yanzhi attended mainly because of Director Tong's 'suggestion'... These award ceremonies seem to have been pre-arranged, all concentrated at the end of the year, and all between December 20th and 30th!
For ten whole days, Shen Yan barely returned to the film set…

Just participate in all sorts of activities!
I also took on a few commercial performances...

So, when I got back to the set, I was completely listless!
Tan Songyun chatted with him, and he just lay there, letting his mind wander.

"You're the one opening?"

"If I can't be the grand finale, then of course I'll choose to open!"

"You can't be the closing act? Why?"

"The final act is Li Yuchun..."

Tan Songyun asked in confusion, "Why Li Yuchun? I feel like she's not as famous as you!"

"She's the top female singer at EE-Media. Look at the posters. On the posters for all kinds of New Year's Eve galas and other concerts with a lot of stars, she's always in the center. No matter who comes, even Lin Junjie and Jolin Tsai can only stand next to her... The fact that I'm standing next to her this year is already a testament to the huge influence of 'I Am a Singer'!"

"Then why doesn't she participate in 'I Am a Singer'?"

Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh: "As a singer, she can't reach low notes, can't reach high notes, and doesn't even know basic vibrato. She stays in the mid-range the whole time, her voice is very nasal, and she has no resonance... You want her to participate in 'I Am a Singer'?"

"...The film crew has a day off tomorrow, could you take me to Hunan TV's New Year's Eve concert?"

Shen Yan frowned: "Of course I have no problem bringing you, but the venue is the Guangzhou International Sports Arena... not Changsha!"

"Huh? Why not hold it in Changsha? The Changsha Convention and Exhibition Center is quite big."

"The Changsha convention and exhibition center is not as big as the Guangzhou one, and it's too cold outdoors in Changsha... Guangzhou doesn't have this problem."

“Oh…Is that the reason?” Tan Songyun shook her head: “Then I won’t go, Guangzhou is too far away!”

Shen Yan casually said, "Anyway, we'll pick you up and drop you off. If you want to join in the fun, no problem!"

"I think I'll stay on set and look at the script!"

Shen Yan didn't try to persuade her anymore, but instead asked her, "Has the male lead for 'With You' been confirmed yet?"

"Yes, they contacted Li Xian!"

"Li Xian?" Shen Yan was a little surprised...

He always thought it would be Zhang Ruoyun!

Tan Songyun glanced at him, then said, "I heard that President Ji signed Li Xian..."

"Oh…"

Shen Yan understood immediately!

Damn it, this is called keeping the good stuff within the family.

If both sides have similar conditions, then of course you should use your own people.

As for whether Li Xian will steal his resources...

You're overthinking it. Shen Yan is the chosen one of this world!

After thinking for a moment, he asked Tan Songyun, "You have no objections?"

"I have no objection..." Tan Songyun was stunned for a moment, then added, "I'm just an actress, you don't need to consider my thoughts!"

“It’s different. You’re the female lead… If you have any ideas, you can talk to the director or producer about them.”

Tan Songyun thought for a moment, then said, "I really have no objection..."

"Then forget it. After filming 'Battle of Changsha,' what are your plans?"

"...Waiting for 'The Best of Us' to start filming!"

"That drama won't start filming until May, so you won't be getting any offers in the meantime?"

Tan Songyun shook her head: "I'm not some famous actress..."

"You've now acted in 'Battle of Changsha'..."
