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

Chapter 376 Premiere (24)

Shen Yan's words left the three of them completely dumbfounded...

How come the burden is so heavy?

There's a strange feeling...

"Chinese films are being utterly defeated by Hollywood blockbusters. You are all Chinese filmmakers, don't you feel ashamed?"

Lu Yang was speechless: "No, what am I supposed to feel guilty about? 'The Big Shot' hasn't even been released yet!"

Rao Xiaozhi chimed in: "That's right, 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' hasn't been released yet!"

Okay, PUA failed!

Then use bribery.

Shen Yan took out five scripts from his bag: "You two split them... You can invest if you want... but it can't exceed 20% of the investment, I still need to give some to several theater chains!"

"Northeast Folk Tales... Is this a horror movie?"

"Yes, this is mainly controlled by China Film Group and Wanda Pictures; they together account for 70% of the investment..."

Lu Yang shook his head: "Horror movies...I can't watch them..."

Rao Xiaozhi also shook his head: "I can't do it either!"

"...Horror movies are great for developing skills, including pacing, narrative, lighting, and visual effects..."

Hearing Shen Yan say that, Rao Xiaozhi nodded: "Then I'll give it a try!"

"Okay, the cost is 10 million, and I'll give you a 1000% investment share!"

Wow, a horror movie with a budget of ten million?

“I’m planning to use Li Liqun, Brother Hu, and…” Shen Yan glanced at Rao Xiaozhi and continued, “Wan Qian!”

“I’ll take it!” Rao Xiaozhi then flipped through the script: “Northeast Lover…”

"Sun Honglei is starring in it. I've almost finalized the deal with him... This film is a romance. Guo Fan, if you have the time, you should film it..."

"Let me take a look at the script..."

"You see," Shen Yan added, "the female lead is Liu Shishi!"

Lu Yang said, "I thought you were going to use Jing Tian."

"Why should I make them unhappy... By the way, Lu Yang, you're directing 'Blind Witness'..."

"An action movie?"

"It's a suspenseful crime film..." Shen Yan briefly described the plot: "There are two eyewitnesses to a murder case, one sighted and one blind, but their testimonies are drastically different..."

"...I accepted it."

"The female lead is also Shi Shi... Filming for this drama can start in November."

"it is good!"

"The cost shouldn't exceed 3000 million, don't overspend!"

Guo Fan asked, "What about 'Northeast Love Brother'...?"

Shen Yan naturally countered with, "Don't you need to finish the post-production of 'American Dreams in China' first? Once that's done, 'Sheep Without a Shepherd' should be released... We'll start filming after 'Blind Witness' is finished..."

"No..." Guo Fan originally wanted to retort that "American Dreams in China" was your movie...

After thinking about it, I decided to keep quiet...

"Let's not rush into the remaining films, 'Northeast Police Story' and 'More Than Blue'...we'll discuss them after we finish the ones we're currently working on..." Shen Yan raised his glass: "Let's have a drink!"

"…oh…"

Several people put down their scripts and raised their glasses together...

Shen Yan remembered something: "By the way, there are several empty buildings next to my company. If the three of you want to set up your own film studio, why don't you move there together!"

"where?"

"Dongdajie 4.0 Entrepreneurship Park..."

“…Okay, let’s go ask about the situation.”

……

With a project manager in place, Shen Yan felt much more relaxed…

The next day, I ran around the neighborhood twice and also swam in the pool twice... To be honest, Xinghewan is located in the Chaoqing area, which has old residential buildings, affordable housing, and commercial housing. There is a large flow of people and serious traffic jams, so it is relatively chaotic. It is just a high-end development, not as luxurious as the area around Chaoyang Park where there are many luxury homes.

There is not much room for price increase.

Once the revenue share from "The Telephone" arrives, I might consider buying an apartment in Sunac One Mansion or Palm Springs International Apartments...

Purchase restrictions will be implemented next year...

Buy one set if you can.

I was just wondering where to have lunch when I received a call from Ji Xiang. He invited me to the premiere of "The Four Great Constables".

"The Four Great Constables" is one of Enlight Media's key projects this year.

As for "Lost in Thailand," according to Wang Changtian, "I don't think it's likely to lose money..."

During this period, Wang Changtian still harbored illusions about Hong Kong filmmakers.

He finally gave up after "Glorious Years" and "Badges of Fury"!

Hong Kong actors... feel that doing promotions is too tiring, and once they receive their paychecks, they feel they have completed their task and are unwilling to do promotions, or they demand high makeup fees and make all sorts of demands during promotions.

He's had enough!

They even publicly criticized...

Of course, at this stage, I still think Gordon Chan is quite trustworthy...

"The Four Great Constables," a big-budget summer production by Enlight Media, has a long-standing good relationship with Shen Yan. They were also one of the distributors for "The Telephone," as well as "The Criminal," "The Big Shot," and "Sheep Without a Shepherd"...

Moreover, Deng Chao was Meng Xiaojun, whom he had personally selected.

Both logically and emotionally, Shen Yan should go and show his support.

Then... he wanted to leave because of the terrible movie!

Gordon Chan is truly speechless!
At least "Painted Skin" completes a story, while "Painted Wall," which everyone criticizes, is acceptable except for its incomprehensible ending.

By the time "The Four Great Constables" came out, it was completely incomprehensible from beginning to end...

As a martial arts film, the main storyline can be summarized as justice overcoming evil after many hardships.

Then the plot goes like this: the main villain, Master An, painstakingly arranged for an inside man to kill the God of Catchers, but in the end, he lost to the God of Catchers and the heroes of the Divine Marquis's Mansion in the final battle at the Prince's Mansion.

So the question arises: why did he go to the Prince's mansion to kill the Prince? What grudge did he have against the Prince?
The film makes no mention of this; you could say he went to kill the God of Arrest and Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang's lines clearly state, "Protect the Prince!"

Furthermore, the heavenly soldiers that Master An painstakingly brought from the Western Regions were initially so powerful, but in the end, Zhuge Zhengwo wiped them all out with a single powerful move…

No way, the villains don't know how awesome you are?

No, this is awful movie. What are the bad guys even trying to do?
Master An was Cai Xiang's subordinate, but Cai Xiang never appeared and was not described at all...

Damn it, it's giving me a headache!
The plot has absolutely no rhythm; if the pace picks up even slightly, it's like they're eating hot pot...

Shen Yan watched half of it... and his mind went completely blank!

This bastard dares to call itself a movie?

I simply drifted off into my own thoughts…

When I came to my senses, the group was eating hot pot again...

I can't stand it!

"I won't comment... I was distracted just now. I didn't sleep well last night, and I just exercised for several hours, so I was a bit hungry... I just wanted to find something to eat... I didn't watch the movie very carefully..."

After the movie ended, the host cued him, wanting him to talk about "The Four Great Constables," and Shen Yan looked a little embarrassed...

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"Well, I was planning to have lunch, but I was called over. I thought I could get a free meal..." Shen Yan smiled and said, "I'll sit down first!"

"Then let's ask the person next to us..."

As they left the screening room, Shen Yan took the Snickers bar that Ji Xiang handed him, took a bite, and said, "...Next time, give me advance notice for things like this!"

“…Hmm,” Ji Xiang nodded, then asked casually, “What do you think of the movie? Can it threaten ‘The Prisoner’?”

"Our film won't be released for another two weeks..."

Just as they were talking, a voice came from behind: "Shen Yan!"

Yan Ge turned his head and saw Li Xiaoping, with Liu Yifei standing next to her.
