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

Chapter 323 Arrangements (14)

There's a claim that 'Zhang Yi was baptized by aliens!'
Otherwise, you can't explain why he's so awesome...

He starred in a movie and won the Best Actor award at the Tokyo International Film Festival;
As a director, he won two Venice Golden Lions (for "The Story of Qiu Ju" and "Not One Less"), one Berlin Golden Bear (for "Red Sorghum"), one Cannes Jury Prize (for "To Live"), one Cannes Technical Prize (for "Shanghai Triad"), one Venice Jury Prize (for "Raise the Red Lantern"), and one Berlin Silver Bear (for "The Road Home"). He also earned Ge You and Gong Li the Best Actor award at Cannes and the Best Actress award at Venice, respectively.

The commercial film "Hero" ushered in the era of commercial blockbusters in China.

He even directed an Olympic Games opening ceremony!

Compared to people like Guan Hu, Lou Ye, Jia Zhangke, and Wang Xiaoshuai…

He's truly an artist with principles—at least he wrote an open letter breaking with Cannes.

The sixth generation of Cannes filmmakers, who rely entirely on the Cannes Film Festival for their livelihood, would never do something like this.

These people make a name for themselves by filming fringe subjects, spouting off about artistic freedom, but frankly, they're just chasing fame and fortune.

Oh, let's continue talking about the press conference...

"The script for 'The Telephone' was inspired by 'Frequency,' but our concept is time travel, connecting different times through an old-fashioned telephone..."

"Science fiction elements?"

It has some science fiction elements... but it can't really be considered a science fiction film...

"I heard you've been thinking about making a science fiction movie?"

“Yes,” Shen Yan paused, then continued, “No need to listen anymore, I’m already doing the preliminary preparations… I’ve already finalized the visual effects modeling with several visual effects companies…”

"Domestic special effects companies?"

"...Yes, actually our special effects are pretty good too..." Shen Yan originally planned to say a bunch of nonsense about 'supporting domestic special effects', but after thinking about it, he shut up: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Does anyone have any questions?"

"Let me ask Shishi..."

Liu Shishi paused for a moment, then put on her best smile: "Go ahead!"

"Are you going to terminate your contract with Tangren Media?"

"...No...Why do you say that?"

"They said you turned down several Tangren dramas..."

"That's not true. I'm currently filming 'Ballad of the Desert'..."

……

The press conference has ended.

Shen Yan waved his hand dismissively: "Let's go eat... I'm starving!"

Everyone got on the bus…

Shishi got into his car…

—Her eyes were practically drooling just now!

Once in the car, they shared a passionate kiss…

If it weren't for the inconvenient location, I bet he would have already sat down and sighed deeply!

However, Shen Yan's hand skills were still put to good use...

Shishi playfully punched him, then asked, "Want to come with us for the promotional campaign?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "...I don't think it will work. I still have to do two more shows with 'Singer'...it's in my contract!"

"Huh? This is your movie!"

"I'm not the lead actor... I'm just the producer..."

"...So what are you going to do next?"

"With 'My Love from the Star' and 'Finding Mr. Right' about to start filming, I need to meet with the main cast and crew to discuss the specific filming plans..."

Upon hearing Shen Yan's words, Shi Shi completely ignored "My Love from the Star" and asked, "Is 'Finding Mr. Right' a movie starring Yang Mi?"

“Yes…” Shen Yan explained, “Although it’s called that, we’ll basically be filming in Vancouver!”

"Huh?" "The producers in the US told us that Vancouver not only has a similar geographical environment and streetscape to other West Coast cities in the US, but also has strong capabilities in film shooting and logistical support, as well as tax rebates and other preferential policies. Many of their films are shot in Vancouver."

"An American producer?"

"An independent producer...not some Hollywood mogul, his name is David Fenkel..."

David Fenkel, one of the co-founders of A24, is considered a veteran in the independent film industry…

Oh, A24's initial work wasn't much different from most New York film companies—picking good films at film festivals and then getting those films to the public, including designing posters, editing trailers, and scheduling film releases. If everything went smoothly, they could make a little money from it.

Initially, he was only moderately famous, but later he independently produced "Moonlight"—a story about a gay Black boy whose mother is addicted to drugs…

Then this film won the Academy Award for Best Picture…

He became famous overnight!
Shishi then asked, "How do you know him?"

"Oh, his film company... I invested some money!"

"You're investing in an American film company?" Shi Shi asked in surprise. "You're going to make your way into Hollywood?"

"...Get in my foot..." Shen Yan: "I just think North American people need independent films..."

"to be frank!"

Shen Yan didn't really want to explain, he just said, "...It's a kind of business strategy...you don't need to worry about it, just know about it!"

Do you still have money now?

"Of course I have money!"

Shi Shi nodded, then asked, "...By the way, was 'My Love from the Star' a collaboration with Jing Tian?"

"…Um."

"There are kissing scenes, right?"

"Idol dramas... definitely have kissing scenes."

"Then you need to be careful..."

Shen Yan nodded: "She has a boyfriend... I'll definitely be careful."

"You have a girlfriend too!"

"...There's no way to use camera tricks...If even kissing scenes in idol dramas use camera tricks, then we can't film them."

……

Shi Shi still cares about Shen Yan quite a bit...

She also knew that Shen Yan was now highly sought after...

Not only are they highly sought-after by investors, but they are also the best option for many actresses—talented, handsome, young, and rich!

They are simply at the pinnacle of human potential.

But she still trusted Jing Tian quite a bit…

Subconsciously, I assumed that Da Tian Tian couldn't possibly have any other feelings for Yan Ge...

Yan Ge is the same!
She had asked Yang Siwei about it, and during the filming of "Bad Genius," Shen Yan's attitude towards Jing Tian was very...respectful!
He simply treated her as a sugar daddy.

That's it…

But she forgot that if the sugar daddy needed her, Shen Yan would also do his duty without hesitation!
Oh, during dinner, Yang Mi asked the same question – are you coming with us for the promotional tour?

"I'll accompany you all day... Once we get to Shanghai, we'll part ways..."

Guo Shubo was surprised: "Huh? Aren't you going to run together?"

Shen Yan waved his hand: "Now that the movie has been released, it doesn't have much to do with me as the producer anymore; you guys are the main force..."

Yang Siwei, standing to the side, explained: "...You don't need to keep running around...This time we're mainly covering eight cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Wuhan, Chengdu, and Hangzhou...It should only take about a week to finish!"

"By the way, when you go to Hangzhou for promotions, why don't you also stop by 'I Can See Your Voice' to support Shen Li..."
