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

Chapter 330 The Name of a Talent Scout (34)

The third episode of "I Can See Your Voice" has already aired... and Huang Qishan was the guest...

They talked a lot about the behind-the-scenes aspects of "I Am a Singer," such as how the program team suggested she sing the song "Cut Love."

The viewership ratings broke 2...

It's unclear whether Zhejiang TV bought ratings, but "I Can See Your Voice" outperformed Hunan TV for two consecutive episodes...

Online viewership has also begun to surpass that of "Day Day Up"...

Then, many people started discussing why Shen Li left Hunan TV.

An insider at the TV station revealed that "I Can See Your Voice" was originally prepared by Shen Yan for his sister. It was originally produced by Hong Tao's team and broadcast on Hunan TV, but Hunan TV chose "The Voice Team". Coincidentally, Xia Chen'an was eager to find talent and not only agreed to all of Shen Yan's conditions, but also gave Shen Li the host and the prime time slot on Friday!

Shen Yan reciprocated by saying that "My Love from the Star" would premiere on Zhejiang TV.

Then... many netizens mocked Hunan TV for not knowing its own worth...

A talented person who could plan a variety show like "I Am a Singer" was handed over to Zhejiang TV by Hunan TV!

No rush, The Voice of China hasn't aired yet...

When "The Voice of China" airs, there will be even more mockery!
—The Voice of China had an average viewership rating of 0.62% and a peak rating of 0.68%...

Shen Yan first congratulated his sister, and then asked her to take care of Shi Shi.

"Your sister-in-law isn't very good at creating entertaining content for the show... You should give her more topics to talk about..."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional!"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan added, "You can ask her more questions about the details between us..."

Shen Li asked in surprise, "Brother, are you going to make it official?"

"What official announcement? You decide what kind of level of discretion to go!"

After chatting for a few minutes, Shen Yan returned to his room, just in time to see Dilraba and Yuan Bingyan filming together...

Actually, her acting skills are not bad!
At least for now, it's possible.

Like many actresses, her representative works are all from her early career…

Perhaps because I had few acting opportunities when I was relatively unknown, I would seize any chance I had and work hard to perform, without fear of failure...

After gaining fame, they are too busy with work to focus on honing their roles, and their acting becomes formulaic.

Having a fixed template for acting means you won't think about genuinely immersing yourself in the role, resulting in a monotonous performance that gets boring after one or two viewings.

They seamlessly transitioned into new projects, and what they pursued was no longer the quality of their work or their acting skills, but rather increased exposure!
Just then, Sha Weiqi spoke up: "Brother Yan..."

"Ok?"

"What do you think?"

“…Great,” Shen Yan asked Dilraba, “Do we need the production crew to provide a leave slip?”

"It would be best to provide..."

"Okay," Shen Yan nodded, then casually mentioned Yuan Bingyan, "If you're free, you could also come to the set and play a few roles..."

"it is good!"

Dilraba: "May I ask who our female lead is?"

"You know Jing Tian very well." Shen Yan checked the time. "Let's go, let's have a meal together... Are there any good restaurants near your school?"

"There's a Turkish restaurant that's even better."

"That's fine..."

……

Shen Yan stayed in Shanghai, certainly not just for casting...

He also has to resolve the housing issues for Do Myung-joon and Cheon Song-yi.

It definitely has to be a large, single-level apartment near the Huangpu River.

Yan Ge's idea is to directly use the apartments in Tomson Riviera...

But they have too many rules!
Furious, Yang Siwei stormed off. She then contacted President Lu, who happened to own an apartment in the Seasons Plaza complex, which he offered to rent free to the film crew for shooting…

I even had a designer redesign it…

Actually, you could just rent a model home for the photoshoot; you don't necessarily have to use a real house.
However, "My Love from the Star" is a big-budget idol drama that strives for realism and credibility!

By the way, Cheon Song-yi's clothing sponsors were all top luxury brands.

After all, Cheon Song-yi is a national goddess...

Everyday outfits are definitely high-end items.

In addition, the crew chose Thames Town for most of the outdoor scenes…

A high-end villa area with a strong British feel, featuring a Gothic church, Victorian terraces, a castle, fountains, squares, and many cafes, galleries, and art museums.

Filming locations for "Tiny Times"...

The film's photography team was Che Liangyi's team—the cinematographers for "Tiny Times"...

Shen Yan aims to make "My Love from the Star" a benchmark for idol dramas across Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong!

Idol dramas, of course, have a dreamlike quality...

Oh, Yan spent three days with this group of people, talked about a lot of things, and then left Shanghai for Chengdu—not to promote the movie, but to attend the "I Am a Singer" tour concert!

The contract that was signed back then.

There are a total of ten tour shows, and Shen Yan will have to participate in at least five of them.

After all, he's the King of Singers...

His appearance fee is 260 million per game…

It's pretty much in line with his market price!
The others are mostly around 150 million.

Besides the concert, he also has three commercials he needs to film…

……

Shen Yan was busy attending events and didn't have much time to promote "The Telephone"...

It did not affect the film's box office success.

The box office grossed 2700 million on its opening day, then dipped slightly over the next two working days, but remained around 2600 million each day, totaling 7900 million over the three working days, before heading into its opening weekend.
On Friday, March 23, "The Telephone" grossed 31 million.
On March 24th, the box office reached 36 million yuan in a single day, and 34 million yuan was earned on Sunday...

The box office grossed 1.8 million yuan in its first six days!
It doesn't seem like a high figure, but it has set a new box office record for Chinese-language films this year.

Moreover, on March 26th, the first working day, the box office reached 17 million!
The drop wasn't significant...

The theater chain predicted a box office of 4 million...

Its subsequent performance was roughly in line with theater predictions; even with the release of "Love in the Buff" and "Wrath of the Titans" in its second week, "The Phone" still grossed 1.2 million in its second week…

In just two weeks, the cumulative box office exceeded 3 million!
Dubbed by the media as 'another box office dark horse'...

This is truly baffling for the industry...

Where do so many dark horses come from?
How can he even make a huge hit with horror movies?
The publicly announced cost of "The Telephone" was 20 million, but the actual production cost was 11 million. The product placement alone recouped 8 million of the cost, meaning that the subsequent promotional campaign cost just over 10 million...

In other words, the total cost was no more than 20 million, but it generated more than 300 million in box office revenue...

This person makes money faster and more efficiently than Feng Xiaogang!
The two new directors, Guo Shubo and Wang Zhi, have attracted media attention, but in their interviews, they attributed the film's success entirely to Shen Yan.

"Brother Yan provided the script, and during the pre-production phase, he guided us through breaking down the script, the scenes, including the storyboard and shot sheets... He's very clear about every step of filmmaking... And as the producer, he never interferes with the director's filming..."

"Being able to work with him is truly a stroke of luck for us novice directors!"

A reporter asked them, "Are there any plans to continue the cooperation?"

Guo Shubo said, "...Not yet."

"He didn't sign with you?"

"No…"
