Chapter 332 Almost Came into an Argument

Chapter 332 Almost Came into an Argument (14)

It's been over six months since "Scarlet Heart" aired a new drama from Tangren Media...

But it doesn't matter, one hit drama is enough to live off for several years!
Furthermore, "Xuan-Yuan Sword" has already been scheduled to air on Hunan TV...

This show made a lot of money, but when Cai Yinong thought about how Huace expanded its annual output from three or five shows to more than ten after going public, she was still jealous!
When we arrived at the restaurant…

Oh, the crew of "Ballad of the Desert" specially threw a celebration banquet for Shi Shi.

"Wake up..."

After waking Shishi, Cai Yinong said, "Let's go, the crew has specially prepared a celebration banquet for you..."

"I don't think that's necessary..."

Shi Shi felt a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse...

Cai Yinong shook his head: "We definitely have to hold one. Last year, 'Our Times' was a huge box office hit, so we didn't have to hold a celebration for you. This time, 'Telephone' is also a huge hit, so we definitely have to celebrate properly!"

"...The movie's box office success has little to do with me..." Shi Shi answered subconsciously, then realized something and smiled wryly, "I've developed some muscle memory for it these past few days!"

At almost every roadshow, she was surrounded by reporters and media interviewing her about the box office success of "The Telephone"...

It's become a conditioned reflex, already!

Has Shen Yan mentioned making a new movie with you?

“…Not yet,” Shi Shi thought for a moment and then said, “He told me that ‘Legend of Fei’ is going to be adapted, and I’ll be the female lead!”

"Produced by Huace?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I think the director's name is Lu Yang..."

"What about the male protagonist?"

He should play the role himself…

Cai Yinong nodded, then asked, "No film projects?"

Shi Shi shook her head: "I didn't ask him..."

"...How could you not ask him...Do you know how many people are watching him?"

Shishi really wanted to say, "You keep giving me a ton of work every day, I don't even have time to make love, how can I have time to care about anything else?"

But Cai Yinong is her boss after all, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "He'll contact me if there's a suitable role... and usually, he'll send me the script for film projects in advance..."

Cai Yinong immediately asked, "Are there any suitable roles for Brother Hu?"

"No..."

What about "Finding Mr. Right"?

“That won’t work, the female lead is Yang Mi!” After a pause, Shi Shi added, “From what Shen Yan said, the male lead has to be a cool and elegant older man over 35…”

Why does he always use Yang Mi?

“…Haha,” Shi Shi chuckled, then started talking to Cai Yinong about the five film contracts…

……

The cast of "Ballad of the Desert" is quite impressive: Hu Ge and Peng Yuyan!
They even cast Qin Hao in a supporting role…

The directors are Li Guoli, Lin Yufen, and Liang Shengquan.

That's right, it's the old team from Tangren Media...

It's true that Qin Hao was hyped up by marketing accounts; in his early years, he often posted things like "If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll be stuck in mainland China your whole life" on Weibo...

—How upright can you expect him to be if he can hang out with Lou Ye?

As for his family, you can learn more about them in the TV series "The Great River Flows East"...

Murderers and arsonists wear golden belts, while those who build bridges and roads leave no trace!
In addition, a lot of people say he's an Oscar winner...

The reality is that he was nominated for Cannes but did not win any awards, and he didn't win any of the three major awards, including the Huabiao Award and the Hundred Flowers Award. What kind of Best Actor is this?
Her acting is just so-so, not as good as Liu Ye's!
The so-called "uncrowned movie star" is nothing but marketing hype.

However, he did try his best; he married a Taiwanese woman, and his daughter was born in the United States…

Oh, Shishi entered the private room, and several people stood up: "Congratulations Shishi, the box office is a huge success!"

"...No, I was just lucky..."

Shi Shi quickly flashed her signature silly smile: "Thank you everyone..."

"Didn't Shen Yan come?"

"He went to America..."

"Go to America?"

Shi Shi nodded: "Yes, there's a movie that's going to film on location in the US... He's going to scout out the locations and discuss the specific filming plans with the American producer..." Cai Yinong was surprised: "An American producer?"

Shi Shi casually remarked, "I heard him say his name is David Fenkel...an independent film producer...not very famous..."

Peng Yu-yan: "What a pity, I've always wanted to get to know him..."

She waved her hand dismissively: "It's alright, I'll have him come visit me on set when he gets back to China..."

Cai Yinong interjected: "Was the movie he went to America for 'Finding Mr. Right'?"

"right…"

Who was cast as the male lead in that play?

"An actor from the Central Academy of Drama named Jin Dong..."

Brother Hu: "How do you know so much?"

"I want to act in it too!"

You're acting in this play too?

Shi Shi nodded: "Yes, I saw a really good role, I told him about it, and he gave it to me!"

"An interesting character?"

"Hmm, a lesbian..."

"Huh? Censorship has become so lax now?"

Shi Shi smiled and said, "Finding Mr. Right is actually quite daring. It tells the story of a mistress going to the United States to give birth, but it is packaged as a romantic comedy. It seems to be crossing the line, but it can actually pass the censorship."

"Finding Mr. Right" is indeed quite explicit.

This involves a range of real-world issues, including childbirth in the US, flaunting wealth, same-sex parenthood, sperm donation, and economic crimes…

Each one could be made into a movie, and it would be guaranteed to be sensitive.

But it still passed the review!

The reason is quite simple—using a comedic approach, and ultimately presenting a correct value system, makes these issues acceptable. However, if they are not handled in a comedic way, they may encounter some risks.

The group changed the subject and started talking about "The Telephone"...

Cai Yinong: "I estimate this movie will gross 4 million!"

Shi Shi shook her head: "It won't reach that... Shen Yan said it would be around 3.6 million at most..."

Why can't we get there?

"Because the 3D version of Titanic is released on the 9th... this movie is definitely going to create a movie-going frenzy..."

Cai Yinong shook his head: "Not necessarily. The re-release of Titanic won't cause too much of a stir. The idea of putting new wine in old bottles is good, but simply relying on pseudo-3D technology won't be enough to attract audiences, because the film is readily available... and it performed poorly in the European and American markets!"

"Titanic is different for Chinese audiences!"

"What's the difference?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but Shen Yan is definitely right!"

"...Is what he said correct?"

Shi Shi: "He hasn't missed out yet!"

"Heh," Cai Yinong sneered, "He wouldn't let you take on 'Scarlet Heart' or 'Ballad of the Desert,' but 'Scarlet Heart' became a huge hit!"

Shi Shi decisively replied, "I refused 'Scarlet Heart' myself..."

"Do you dare say he didn't interfere?"

Brother Hu interjected, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Try the roasted lamb leg; it's quite delicious!"

"…Um…"

……

While Shi Shi was attending the celebration party for "Ballad of the Desert," Shen Yan had already arrived in the United States...
