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

Chapter 365 Propaganda (44)

Yang Siwei is grooming Shen Yan to be a superstar.

Developing a career in film, television, and music—you can't neglect any of them…

Every single one has to be number one!

Lost to "The Magic Blade"?
She wouldn't allow that to happen.

Even though "The Magic Blade" is a terrible drama and doesn't have a good reputation among the public...

As an aside, "The Magic Blade" was directed by Lai Shuiqing and starred Wallace Chung, Zhang Meng, and Chen Chuhe. It completely distorted the original novel…

But the ratings were quite high!
In addition, David Chiang also plays Xiang Yingtian, whose prototype is Ma Kongqun from "The Prodigal Son," one of the villains in the series.

David Chiang really has had a smooth life!
In the early stages, you rely on your mentor; in the middle stages, you rely on your fans; and in the later stages, you rely on your seniority…

In the early stages, he relied on his mentor Chang Cheh, who paired him with Ti Lung as a duo, filming more than twenty movies in a dual male lead format. Ti Lung was tall, handsome, and dignified, with fair skin, strong muscles, and striking features such as thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips, and white teeth. In contrast, David Chiang was thin, short, and had a darker complexion, and even a slight hunchback. Recently, many people have said that his eyebrows and eyes resembled Jay Chou, making him completely unrelated to the image of a handsome man in period dramas.

Given the difference in their looks, a well-known Hong Kong filmmaker once believed that only handsome men like Ti Lung could become movie stars. He even made a bet with Chang Cheh that if someone like David Chiang could become famous, he would walk headfirst from Kowloon to Tsim Sha Tsui.

As a result, David Chiang became a sensation, not only surpassing others in popularity but also winning his first Asian Best Actor award for the film "Vengeance," becoming a true rising star.

Later, Chang Cheh faded from popularity, and David Chiang started making television dramas.

At this time, his fan, Leung Ka-shu, was already a senior executive at TVB. He directly arranged for him to play the male lead, Huang Yaoshi, in a TV series called "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Nine Yin Manual". In addition, he played Luo Xuan in ATV's "Snowflake Sword", turning a supporting role into a leading role. At that time, many people felt that he and Mimi Kung should have been the main characters and a couple!
The show's producer, Xiao Sheng, is also a fan of his…

Both of his representative roles were ones that his fans recommended he star in!

David Chiang has two brothers: the older brother is Paul Chun, the younger brother is Derek Yee, and both of them are more handsome than him and their acting skills are not necessarily inferior to his. In fact, Derek Yee eventually became a well-known director. But as an actor, David Chiang is the most popular. Where can you go to reason with him?
Ahem...

Yang Siwei called Shen Yan to apply for funding to boost the popularity of "Battle of Changsha".

Shen Yan... agreed.

"Battle of Changsha" also deserves its popularity...

It deserves the data!

Data naturally includes the fabricated data; box office and viewership ratings can be manipulated, let alone things like play counts and trending topics, which have always been rather inflated.

If you're willing to spend money, of course you can produce something!
Shen Yan is already the most popular young actor, without a doubt among his peers.

It's normal to spend some money and create some buzz...

……

Shen Yan's scenes in "My Love from the Star" have ended.

A year after he left, Cheon Song-yi attended an awards ceremony. On the red carpet, time stopped, and only Cheon Song-yi could move. The professor walked out from the crowd...

He draped a coat over Cheon Song-yi, saying, "Didn't I tell you you're not allowed to wear such revealing clothes?" Then, in front of all the media, he passionately kissed Cheon Song-yi!
Then, it disappeared again.

It turns out that when he disappeared a year ago, he couldn't return to his planet. Instead, he was sucked into a wormhole, where he recuperated and searched for a way back to Earth, experimenting little by little, from being able to stay there for five seconds, ten seconds, and then longer and longer...

Jing Tian introduced to the camera: "This time, I've been staying for a year and two months... and I'm pregnant!"

A voice came from off-camera: "Huh? Pregnant? Aren't we supposed to avoid close contact?"

Shen Yan smiled slightly and said to the camera, "Repair... just like Edward... I was loved, so I was repaired!"

Edward, the porcelain rabbit Edward, in "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane," tells a series of touching and heartwarming fairy tales from the perspective of a porcelain rabbit named Edward Tulane.

It's one of Do Min-joon's bedtime reading materials! "Click... Passed!"

With Sha Weiqi's voice accompanying the announcement, filming for Shen Yan's "My Love from the Star" has wrapped up!

Hugging and taking photos with the staff...

After the process was completed, Shen Yan explained some things to Sha Weiqi.

"I will record the OST 'The Destiny of Loving You' as soon as possible and then hand it over to our music producer..."

"Old Dong?"

"Correct!"

The music director for "My Love from the Star" is Dong Jianjian, who also served as the music director for "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," "The Prince of Tennis," and "Balala the Fairies." He later worked on the music for "The Legend of Canglan."

Why doesn't Shen Yan take responsibility himself?
No time!
After giving his instructions, Shen Yan glanced at the sullen Jing Tian and walked over, saying, "Sister Tian, ​​I'm leaving!"

"Let's go!"

"...See you again in a while!"

Jing Tian was a little confused: "Goodbye?"

"Are you stupid? 'The Prisoner' still needs promotion!"

"Yes"

Jing Tian laughed: "I'd forgotten all about it!"

"Don't laugh. The next few days will be all solo scenes for you. You'll have to suffer!"

……

At the airport, in the waiting area, Shen Yan was browsing Weibo…

Uh, a bunch of trending topics about "Battle of Changsha"...

Yang Siwei did spend money!
It definitely costs some money—the TV drama channel airs episodes incredibly quickly; a 32-episode drama ends in just 8 days…

Trending topics are arranged as follows:
#Hu Xiangxiang's first meeting with Gu Qingming#, #The lives of ordinary people against a grand backdrop#, #Commander Gu is so handsome#...

These trending topics made Shen Yan quite embarrassed, and he got really hard!
It doesn't stand up to close scrutiny at all, and its marketing points are also very "hard".

Shen Yan posted a Weibo post: "I read the comments. Some people said that 'Battle of Changsha' doesn't have the word 'battle' in it, so it's not full of vigor and doesn't count as the War of Resistance Against Japan."

I want to say that war films don't necessarily have to rely on bloodshed, sacrifice, airplanes, and artillery throughout the entire series to depict the war.

People in times of war also need to make a living, and the Battle of Changsha precisely portrays the lives of ordinary people against this backdrop.

"It simply tells the story of the fate of a family under the war. The Hu family is also the home of every ordinary family. It reflects the most humiliating history from the perspective of a small family. Each character is vividly portrayed... Originally, the Hu family was a large family, but in the end, only Hu Xiangxiang was left. At that time, China was a great and prosperous country. Because of the Japanese invaders, more than just the Hu family died!"

"Actually, I watched a few episodes, and I felt my acting was really bad... Gu Qingming is actually a second-generation official who is eager to kill the enemy but never goes to the battlefield. He's an ice-cold-faced officer who keeps clamoring to go to the front lines but can only stay in the logistics department and have a romance..."

"Every inch of our land is bought with blood! But when it comes to war, which parent would be willing to send their child to the front lines? At that time, the disparity in national strength between China and Japan was enormous. On the main battlefield, the Chinese army could only use mountains of corpses to slow down the Japanese advance."

"I welcome your criticism!"
