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

Chapter 320 Reba (24)

"Bad Genius" is actually a youth film.

It just focused on cheating...

A poor but academically gifted student uses his high intelligence to help a wealthy but academically weak student cheat on exams, earning a reward in return…

It started as just campus exams, but the 'business' grew bigger and bigger, eventually leading to international exams.

This subject matter alone guarantees its popularity—just a few shots are enough to evoke the fear of being dominated by "exams" in high school.

Shen Yan wasn't too worried about the box office...

Even with a crowded summer movie season this year, he believes it will gross at least 300 million at the box office!

However, this movie exceeded my expectations a bit—I originally thought it would only take a month and a half at most, but it actually took two months to film!
Oh, it's his own fault too...

If I hadn't been constantly taking leave, the filming wouldn't have been delayed.

When will the filming of "My Love from the Star" begin...?

Filming is scheduled to officially begin on April 15th…

Damn it, this time I'm going to have to work non-stop!
After filming for "Bad Genius" wrapped up, he still had to do several promotional events for "The Telephone"...

Yes, "The Telephone" will be released the day after tomorrow, March 20th...

This release date was carefully considered. Although "John Carter" continues to gross over ten million dollars a day, "Titanic 3D" will be re-released on the 4th of next month...

All in all, it takes 14 days.

As an aside, there was a market exchange meeting a while ago, which mainly invited directors and producers. The general consensus was that a re-release of *Titanic* was unlikely to be a box office hit…

In fact, China Film Group also believes that even if "Titanic 3D" is re-released, the box office will not be too outrageous!

Then, to everyone's surprise, a re-released film nearly reached a billion in box office revenue.

Not only Titanic, but also Battleship next month…

Relatively speaking, "Wrath of the Titans," which was released on March 30th, was not bad.

Therefore, releasing "Telephone" on March 20th is definitely the best option—Brother Yan really doesn't dare to go head-to-head with it!

The films *The Golden Era*, *Killing*, and *The Ruffian* were all swept away by the lingering momentum of *Titanic*…

……

After taking off his coat, Shen Yan returned to the lounge.

Then, seeing Dilraba scrolling through her phone, Shen Yan curiously leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Brother Yan!"

Dilraba immediately handed him her phone: "Look..."

Goodness, Feng Xiaogang is trending on social media for all the wrong reasons…

Who told him to support Shu Qi and criticize netizens!
Here's the thing: the argument between Zhao Wenzhuo and Zhen Zidan is still going on…

Zhao Wenzhuo called Donnie Yen a tyrant on set, to which Donnie Yen retorted that Zhao Wenzhuo had questionable character. Zhao Wenzhuo then countered by accusing Donnie Yen of colluding with Hong Kong stars to suppress mainland actors.

As the conflict intensifies, a host of celebrities in the entertainment industry are taking sides...

Shu Qi is definitely on Donnie Yen's side, as the two collaborated on "Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen".

He directly posted a message in support of Donnie Yen, praising him as a dedicated and good actor, a good older brother, and a good man...

The netizens, already in a frenzy, didn't care who Shu Qi was and dug up her old photos—the kind where you could vaguely see her breasts...

Even her early erotic films were uploaded online, and the internet was flooded with insults and abuse directed at her…

Feng Xiaogang... couldn't stand it anymore, and outraged by injustice, he roared and cursed netizens as beasts.

Then, she was given the nickname "Whisper".

Shen Yan was speechless: "Is this not over yet?"

"...No...I heard Donnie Yen's endorsements have all been withdrawn!"

"Don't be like Donnie Yen... that saying has a huge impact..."

Dilraba asked softly, "...Don't you have any opinions?" Shen Yan sighed, "...From the perspective of kung fu film actors, both are very excellent actors. If Zhao Wenzhuo were really that bad, Donnie Yen wouldn't have brought him into the project. Conversely, if Donnie Yen were really that bad, Zhao Wenzhuo wouldn't have agreed to film with him... To put it bluntly, it's just a difference of opinion. Zhao Wenzhuo's status isn't as high as Donnie Yen's, so he was kicked out... What really angered him was that he was already feeling wronged and resentful when he was kicked out of the group, and then suddenly he heard rumors and slander that he was acting like a diva and changing the script..."

Any man with a bit of backbone would find it hard to swallow this insult, having already suffered a loss in the first place, and then being falsely accused of something even worse!

Then, someone with ulterior motives took advantage of the situation and fanned the flames, turning the disagreement between the two into a propaganda war between the mainland and Hong Kong film and television industries…

"It seems like you're not taking sides?"

"What's it to me!" Shen Yan waved his hand. "I just think it's a real shame. Donnie Yen has been in the business for over a decade before finally making it big... I reckon his reputation will be hard to recover after this!"

"What about Zhao Wenzhuo?"

"I imagine it's even harder for him... after all, he's an action actor, and the production teams behind action films are definitely more professional in Hong Kong..."

By the way, Donnie Yen's self-directed and self-acted film "Misjudgment" was really too perfunctory!

In most of the action scenes, he's basically just seen from behind or in first-person perspective; it's all done by a stunt double, with various camera tricks, and he only shows his face for the final blow...

Many people say he's already 60...

Let's not talk about Jackie Chan who's 70, since there's only one Jackie Chan. Ma Baoguo is over 60, and he's a real fighter!

At this point, Shen Yan changed the subject: "After this movie is finished filming, are you going back to school?"

Dilraba nodded: "Mmm..."

"Hasn't your agent arranged a new role for you?"

"...I'm still in school, one film a year is enough."

“That won’t work,” Shen Yan shook his head decisively. “One drama a year is too inefficient… and the margin for error is even lower… How about this, our company is producing several dramas, you can just pick a few roles to gain experience…”

"it is good…"

"By the way, you're flying tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm... Brother Ji Xiang said we're on the same flight!"

"What else did he say?"

Dilraba was a little embarrassed, but still said, "...He said he wanted you to mentor me..."

Shen Yan instantly realized: "Trying to create a CP (couple pairing)?"

"...Not really, it's just that I'm being used to ride the wave of popularity..."

"Same idea!"

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No rush. You haven't graduated yet. Even if you ride the wave of popularity now, you won't have any follow-up works... Riding the wave of popularity for a short time doesn't mean much... We are actors after all. If you don't have any works, you'll be laughed at if you walk the red carpet!"

"…Um…"

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going back to the hotel to catch up on some sleep. See you at the wrap party tonight!"

……

What are Dilraba's representative works?

Land couple?

Gao Wen?

An actor without any acting credits.

A variety show personality who can neither carry a show nor be funny.

Having benefited from the popularity of online traffic, why would you expect people to treat you as a serious actor?
She's only suited to be a celebrity; as for her work, forget it.

Even those who are known for their marketing skills in variety shows have started marketing themselves!
However, Shen Yan didn't have any plans for her...

He hasn't even come up with a design for Shishi yet, how could he have time to deal with others?
As for my thoughts…

I don't have any ideas for the time being!

Dilraba is too green right now...

As everyone knows, he prefers the mature, older woman type.
