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

Chapter 293 They paid me a lot! (34)

"I will dedicate my entire life to supporting you."

On stage, Yang Mi was singing "The Power of Love," and it was obvious that she was lip-syncing!

Actually, it's perfectly reasonable for her to lip-sync.

This protected both herself and the listeners from the piercing noise...

After all, Shen Yan had experienced her voice firsthand—he had recorded two songs for her, even though they were just pop songs, they still needed to be edited in post-production!
Poor breath control, high larynx position, and strained voice when exerting force basically mean saying goodbye to the ability to sing.

After stepping off the stage, she saw Shen Yan and immediately asked, "...How did I sing?"

Shen Yan decisively gave a thumbs up: "Great! I told you long ago that you had to sing 'The Power of Love'. Others might sing this song well, but they definitely won't have the same feeling!"

"I'm being verbally abused to death!"

"That's because they envy you... You're just an actor, yet you've taken their jobs... That's real talent!"

While talking, he took out his phone...

Shishi sent a message.

"My album will be released next March..."

"Okay, I'll reserve 1000 tickets first!"

"A thousand sheets? Why are you buying so many?"

"I can give them to my fans!"

Yang Mi suddenly sat down and peeked out: "...Who are you messaging?"

"Shi Shi..."

They were so close that Shen Yan could even smell the lipstick...

She sat on the back of the chair, so at first glance it looked like she was sitting on his lap...

He asked in a low voice, "Peach flavor?"

"Yes, would you like to try some?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "...This is a public rest area!"

"It's okay, I'll just close the door..."

"close the door…"

Then she actually ran over and locked the door from the inside...

Shen Yan followed, pinned her against the door, and began a passionate French kiss, almost pulling down her skirt...

If the location weren't so inconvenient, Shen Yan would really like to embark on a behind-the-scenes exploration!

Of course, after waiting for half an hour and confirming with the director that there would be no one leaving, we went straight to the hotel…

Oh, the New Year's Eve concert director was scared off by Chen Chusheng—he suddenly left the stage, and it was live! If Zhang Jie hadn't been waiting for Xie Na to get off work, there probably wouldn't have been anyone to replace him!

……

Yang Mi has been mostly in Hong Kong lately attending events…

She starred in three films: *All's Well, Ends Well 2012*, *Love in the Buff*, and *Tears in Heaven*.

What is "Tears of a Fallen City"?

"Director Barbara Wong's film drew inspiration from the South Korean film 'Sad Movie'..."

"Learning from others? More like plagiarism!"

Shen Yan remembered... The movie starring Zhou Dongyu was released when the battle between "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was in full swing!

Reputation...so-so.

How good can you expect the reviews for Barbara Wong's movies?

Her representative works include "Girlfriends" and "Don't Forget I Love You"...

But the box office was pretty good; "Tears of the City" grossed nearly 5000 million yuan in mainland China!

To snatch 5000 million yuan at the box office while "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" were locked in fierce competition...

Very few people can do this!

Okay, Shen Yan was wrong. The box office of "Tears of the City" has already exceeded 3500 million, and judging from the current trend, it will definitely exceed 8000 million!
There's no other reason—the female protagonist of the third short story has been changed to Yang Mi.

Furthermore, the credits for "Tears of the City" list the female lead as: Yang Mi, Zhou Dongyu, and Liang Yongqi!

Honey Sister's fans are very satisfied.

Therefore, we decided to have a team building activity.

By the way, "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" grossed HK$580 million in Hong Kong, while "The Flowers of War" grossed HK$1300 million...

Furthermore, in the 2011 Hong Kong box office rankings for local Chinese-language films, the top spot went to "You Are the Apple of My Eye" (HK$6186 million), followed by "Our Times" at number three with HK$4028 million, and then... "3D Elysium" at number two with HK$4100 million...

It's said that the overseas rights to this movie sold very well!
By the way... why is nobody making Category III films anymore?

Because it didn't sell well! To be honest, "The Elysium" was a pretty bad movie, not comparable to those movies from its heyday. It only managed a last-ditch effort by using the so-called 3D technology.

Then a few more came out, similar to "一路向西" (One Way to the West) and "3D 豪情" (3D Naked Ambition), just the same old thing in a new guise...

By 2014, Hong Kong's last Category III film cinema had closed its doors...

And then there were no more movies like that.

Even if it exists, it should be called "The Ultimate Lie of the West: The Explosive Prince's Space Capsule"...

Yang Mi suddenly said, "My salary has increased to 200 million Hong Kong dollars now... You really got a great deal."

"Therefore, I have no choice but to impart all my knowledge and skills to Bao!"

Yang Mi slapped him: "...That's not what I meant!"

"So what do you want to say? Raise the price?" Shen Yan mimicked Ge You's tone from the movie "The Dream Factory": "That won't do. We have to stick to the contract. Even the richest family doesn't have surplus grain!"

"Pah! I'll bite you to death!"

"...Don't bite randomly!"

After struggling for a while, Shen Yan lay down, then sat down and asked, "...Can I be the female lead in your new TV series?"

"A new TV series?"

"It's the one Yuanyuan just rejected..."

"The female lead has already been chosen!"

"Who is it? Is it Shi Shi again?"

"No, that's not it. Shi Shi's acting is terrible... she can't make big expressions!"

Hearing Shen Yan say that, Yang Mi immediately perked up: "Right? I also think Liu Shishi's acting is terrible!"

Yan changed his tune: "...but she's better suited for roles like female warriors...playing chivalrous women..."

"I heard you got her a role in a sitcom?"

"...It wasn't exactly a sitcom, it was more of a comedy...she was one of the investors in that show..."

"Investors?"

“Yes,” Shen Yan nodded, “The total cost was 2000 million, and her salary was 1000 million… so we just converted it into an investment… and gave her a 40% investment share!”

Yang Mi was shocked: "1000 million? Her salary is that high?"

Shen Yanyun replied casually, "I gave it to you!"

Yang Mi was a little jealous: "...You're so good to her!"

"Tangren is terrible... the resources they give her are completely unworthy of her... I can't just abandon her..."

"Then you should offer me 1000 million!"

"…TV drama?"

"Yes!"

"Let me think..." Shen Yan pondered for a moment, "Huace has the adaptation rights to 'Love O2O,' how about I take it over and then cast you as the lead?"

"Great!" Yang Mi then asked, "Are you playing the male lead?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "I don't have time..."

"...When will you be free to act in a movie with me?"

"There's a chance!"

Yang Mi kissed him, then moved to a more comfortable position and lay back down: "Hey, who did you choose as the female lead for that TV series? Fan Bingbing?"

"...It wasn't her...it was Jing Tian!"

"Jing Tian?"

Yang Mi nearly sat up in surprise: "How could it be her? Is she suitable?"

"There's nothing I can do, they gave me too much!"

"How much can you give?"

"A hundred million investment plus my science fiction movie!"

"...Is this a female lead who was bought with money?"

"What are you saying?" Shen Yan rolled his eyes at her. "Actually, Jing Tian is quite good-looking...and has a great personality too. As for acting skills...at least they're passable!"

"Then why don't you announce the casting results?"

"... "

Shen Yan was speechless...

This role was definitely created with a lot of money!
