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

Chapter 314 March (44)

The weather in Hainan in March is very pleasant…

It's definitely a great place to visit!
Houhai Village in Sanya is a breathtaking sight, where the sea and sky blend seamlessly, and colorful dresses flutter in the breeze. Seafood, tropical fruits, and coconut groves abound. It's unbelievably beautiful.

On the one hand, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue, and the sea is clear, making it the most beautiful time of year;

On the other hand, it avoided the peak tourist season before and during the Spring Festival, so there weren't as many people...

However, Shen Yan didn't have time to enjoy any of that...

Fumino's movie-making is so slow!

again and again.

He's known as a "detail maniac" who strives for perfection...

On average, each scene needs to be filmed 4 or 5 times...

The worst time, they filmed it 27 times!
The actors were used to his lines: "Very good, perfect!" followed by: "Exactly the same, one take guaranteed!"

But he chose the director, so I'll definitely support him...

As a result, a month and a half has passed and the movie is still not finished!
Moreover, Hainan has a maritime climate and is sometimes hit by typhoons;

The filming didn't go very smoothly either...

That's fucking ridiculous...

There's good news too: his scenes are almost over!
……

The story of "Bad Genius" begins with the rich and beautiful Grace asking the academic genius Lynn for help with her exams.

Under the influence of Grace's wealthy boyfriend, Xiao Ba, the academically gifted girl succumbed to the lure of money, commercialized cheating, and reaped substantial profits.

Later, Xiao Ba and his girlfriend wanted to study in the United States, so they had to take the American college entrance exam.

Faced with their parents' expectations, Little Bar and Grace once again asked Lynn for help.

In order to complete the mission, they had to recruit Bank, who was also a good student, to join them. They took advantage of the time difference to go to Australia to take the exam and send the answers back to Thailand along the way.

Bank was also a top student, but his family belonged to the lower class. He came from a single-parent family; his mother ran a laundromat on the street corner, and the washing machine often broke down, so they couldn't afford to replace it and often had to wash clothes by hand. As a high school student, Bank frequently helped his mother with laundry and delivered clothes after school…

Initially, Bank was actually very simple and kind-hearted. When his classmates offered him money to help them with their exams, Bank righteously refused...

Bank will report anyone who cheats during the exam.

Unexpectedly, the fact that Xiaolin's cheating was an industry-wide practice was exposed, and Xiaolin's eligibility to apply for overseas scholarships was revoked. He himself unexpectedly became the only qualified applicant in the entire school.

However, the day before the scholarship exam, Bank was brutally beaten and missed the exam the following day…

After that, under Lynn's enticement, Bank also embarked on the pirate ship...

The movie's ending: Bank is caught cheating and takes all the blame, while Lynn escapes.

After Bank was arrested, Xiaolin memorized all the answers by herself and then passed them on to her friends. Both Xiaoba and Grace got into their ideal universities and went abroad.

However, Bank was expelled from school for cheating. He used the money he earned from cheating to expand his laundromat, but when Lynn came to him, he threatened her to cheat with him to make more money...

But Xiaolin didn't want to do that anymore.

Xiaolin decided to tell her father about her involvement in cheating, and her father eventually accompanied her to turn herself in…

It's actually quite cruel!

When Bank burst into tears and said that the scholarship exam was very important to him, his mother washed clothes until her back was bent and her hands were worn raw so that he could study.

The rich kid, Xiao Ba, pleaded with him, saying that this exam was very important and his father wouldn't forgive him if he failed!
This evokes the feeling of a character from a Qiong Yao novel: "You only lost a leg, but Zi Ling lost love!"

Little Baka only got a scolding, and his life remained unaffected as usual. Bankka only faced the prospect of not having a scholarship to continue his studies, having to go home and do laundry, repeating his parents' poverty.

Shen Yan originally planned to revise the ending; he preferred that Xiaolin and Bank become a pair of thieves, regardless of whether it was righteous or not.

But no—there has to be a reasonable ending, especially since this thing has a prototype!

……

"Brother Yan is treating everyone to coffee!"

"...Thank you, Brother Yan!"

When Zhu Yilong arrived at the film set in the morning, as usual, he saw the production assistant pushing a coffee cart in…

He handed him a glass, and Zhu Yilong smiled and said, "Thank you..."

After a while, his assistant came over: "Brother Long, we might be filming your scenes today!"

"Mine?" "Brother Yan went to Changsha last night, I heard he went to participate in the finals of 'I Am a Singer'... and he took three days off this time!"

"The finals are definitely different!"

"I heard it's going to be live tonight, I wonder if I can win the title of King of Singers!"

"...I watched the semi-finals, he came in second..."

The assistant shook his head: "The show is deliberately creating suspense; Yang Zongwei is actually singing Yan Ge's song..."

Oh, in the twelfth episode of "I Am a Singer," during the semi-finals, Shen Yan lost to Yang Zongwei's... "Actually, There's Nothing"...

The key point is that this song was originally written by Shen Yan!

They actually bet against Shen Yan's "Red Dust Inn"...

Oh, I originally wanted to sing "The Girl in the Flower Shop"... but never mind, Shen Yan's voice isn't good enough to capture Han Lei's essence.

Shen Yan's version of "Red Dust Inn" references Tian Zhen's version, and the arrangement incorporates flutes and xiao (vertical bamboo flutes)...

Full of the spirit of the martial arts world!

Compared to Zhou Jielun's version, it is quite subversive - the original "Red Dust Inn" is closer to "Hair Like Snow", with a very strong sense of romance.

Then he lost to Yang Zongwei
What song will Yan Ge sing in the finals?

"do not know…"

They were chatting when Jing Tian and Dilraba arrived at the film set at the same time…

"Brother Long!"

"Jing Tian, ​​Reba, have you two had breakfast?"

Jing Tian: "Yeah, we've eaten... What were you guys talking about?"

"We were talking about what Yan Ge will sing in tonight's 'I Am a Singer' finale... Does Dilraba know?"

"I don't know..." Dilraba turned to Jing Tian: "Does Sister Tian Tian know?"

"All I know is that he will sing a duet with Zhang Jie, but I don't know what they will sing!"

“…Zhang Jie?”

"Um…"

"After the last episode aired, netizens were in an uproar... They were all saying that the production team had rigged the show!"

"Yan Ge sang so well, but he only got second place. Everyone is definitely unhappy!"

Several people started discussing "I Am a Singer"...

Well, that's normal. TV dramas and movies haven't been doing so well lately, except for "I Am a Singer" continuing to dominate the charts…

No kidding, although "Palace 2: The Lock of Pearls" had decent ratings, it couldn't compare to the phenomenal buzz generated by the first installment, "Palace 3: The Lock of Jade Heart." In terms of popularity, "Palace 2: The Lock of Pearls" simply couldn't compete.

Film market…

Not to mention!

Hollywood is pulling out all the stops, with films like *Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol*, *Journey to the Center of the Earth 2: The Mysterious Island*, *War Horse*, and *John Carter* dominating the box office...

Even the star-studded cast of "Love"—Shu Qi, Zhao Yanzi, Chen Yihan, Ethan Juan, Zhao Youting, and Eddie Peng—failed to rakgle at the box office!

But this is already the best-performing Chinese-language film in recent years—it has at least grossed over 100 million yuan.

That's right, the Heavenly Court is also involved!

The market wasn't particularly receptive...

No problem, there are still plenty of projects coming up!
To be honest, Shen Yan was genuinely envious!
Especially Ruan Jingtian, who, despite the disastrous failure of "The Guillotines," still managed to star in a bunch of other films.

Zhao Youting goes without saying, with works like "So Young," "Detective Dee," and "Ghost Blows Out the Light"...

This is a huge IP!

Lu Han only has "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" to play...

Later, "Shanghai Fortress" flopped, and that was the end of it...

It seems like whether they fail or not doesn't affect them at all!
