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

Chapter 387 Shi Shi's Frustration (14)

That evening, Yang Mi hosted a dinner party for Shen Yan and Dilraba…

"Don't you need to do any publicity?"

Yang Mi waved her hand: "There's still time to have a meal!"

Shen Yan remembered something: "I heard you and Er Dongsheng had a falling out?"

No, who told you that?

"...Then I remembered it wrong!"

Is it true, as rumored, that Yang Mi was filming "The Bullet Vanishes" while simultaneously working on other projects, and was subsequently criticized by Derek Yee?

Okay, this is what he did while filming "Sword Master"!

To be honest, when he was filming "The Sword of the Three Young Masters", he didn't have much star power left - Peng Yuyan and Yang Tianbao, who were originally slated to star, didn't come.

However, he was at least the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards jury, and many directors and actors in mainland China had good relationships with him. So when he later went on "Actors, Please Take Your Seats," everyone respected him!

Guo Jingming, the only one who tried to bully the weak, was even brought to tears by his sharp rebuke!
But he still doesn't have any noteworthy works!

Rumor has it that he's planning to rehash old material—directing "Overheard 4" himself…

Hey, it's been over a decade since "Overheard 3" was released, why bother?

How much box office do you think "The Bullet Vanishes" will achieve?

"Between 1.5 million and 1.8 million..."

"Can't even reach 200 million?"

Shen Yan shook his head: "In recent years, apart from the exceptionally good ones, it's hard for Hong Kong films to exceed 200 million!"

"Oh...is this really bad?"

"Think about it, what was the state of Hong Kong films last year? From 'Shaolin' at the beginning of the year to 'A Chinese Ghost Story,' 'The Lost Bladesman,' 'Legendary Amazons,' 'East Meets West 2011,' and 'Happy Magic'... one after another was worse than the last... If you were a viewer, you couldn't stand it either!"

Yang Mi nodded, and Dilraba suddenly interjected, "So, the same goes for 'The Silent War'?"

"It will definitely have an impact... I estimate that 'The Silent War' won't reach 200 million yuan at the box office, at most it will be between 180 million and 190 million yuan!"

"Thank goodness I left America!"

"left?"

“Yes,” Yang Mi nodded, “Zeng Jia left, and we joined H&R Century Pictures together. H&R Century Pictures set up personal studios for us!”

“Huanrui is poaching talent everywhere,” Shen Yan said casually. “Shi Shi has also received an invitation, and Ming Dao even invited her to star in a TV series…”

"The Happiness of Angels..."

Shen Yan asked in surprise, "You knew?"

"She told us..."

"What did you say?"

"She said the script was too cliché and had too many kissing scenes... she didn't like it!"

Shen Yan rolled his eyes: "What good scripts can those Taiwanese idol drama actors get?"

"By the way, I feel like you don't like Jiang Yiyan? Why?"

Shen Yan shrugged: "I just simply don't like her..."

She's known as the goddess of literature and art!

Well, there's a type of actress in the industry who isn't known for her work, but occasionally buys trending topics and goes for an artsy vibe!
He loves photography, won a National Geographic award, and endorses various photography brands.

He later even won the American Architecture Master Prize…

She ended up becoming the female version of Zhai Tianlin!

Having a sugar daddy isn't something to be ashamed of, so Jing Tian openly admitted that someone was helping her!

Moreover, Da Tian Tian's roles are all created by herself...

Jiang Yiyan is different; not only does she have a sugar daddy, but she also goes around stealing opportunities...

After chatting for a while, the food was served, and Yang Mi said to Dilraba, "Let's eat!"

Dilraba immediately picked up some food...

They were having a great time eating!

Yang Mi looked at her and suddenly said, "I really envy you!"

"...?"

Dilraba looked up, somewhat confused…

"His first film was 'The Criminal', which grossed 7 million yuan..."

Shen Yan interrupted her: "Not 7 million, at most 6.8 million... Besides, you started as Guo Xiang..."

Yang Mi: "That's a TV series."

"...You earn more money filming TV dramas now, and a hit drama can boost an actor's career more than a movie!" "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Shi Shi is currently working on a drama series, and she's asking for 45 yuan per episode. A bunch of production companies are vying for her!"

"Wow, she's asking for 45?"

"Yes... I offered her 1500 million for the 25-episode series 'Go! Young People'..."

"what?"

"A 500 million yuan salary, 1000 million yuan of which was converted into an investment... But for 'Legend of Fei,' which has 55 episodes, she received a 2000 million yuan salary!"

Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise, "...Is it really that profitable?"

"You haven't taken on any TV dramas lately?"

“…No,” Yang Mi shook her head, “I’m focusing on movies right now…”

"We still need to consider TV dramas; there aren't that many high-quality movie scripts available..."

Yang Mi looked at Dilraba: "Where is she?"

"She hasn't graduated yet, and the company's plan for her is only two films a year..."

……

After finishing his meal, Shen Yan called a driver to take Reba home first.

Then I had a friendly match with Yang Mi...

She's quite pitiful; the last time she played a friendly match was just last month!
This time was similar to last time, only about two hours...

After all, she was the main person in charge of promoting "The Bullet Vanishes"!

By the way, the film "More Than Blue" has been greenlit and will start filming around October. The director chosen is... Yao Tingting...

They were chosen after the audition!

She hired Han Yan to be her producer!
By the way, "Finding Mr. Right" is scheduled for release on March 21st next year...

"More Than Blue" should be released next July, a week later than "Tiny Times"...

By the way, she also took on the role in "Tiny Times".

After all, "Tiny Times" is a huge IP, and Guo Jingming was very generous, giving her the lead role of Lin Xiao...

The female lead in "Tiny Times" is Lin Xiao.

In the derivative works of the "Tiny Times" novel series, Lin Xiao is the narrator of the entire story, and the story unfolds from her perspective...

But Gu Li is the most popular!

Gu Li's birthday even trended on social media...

……

Back home, just as Shen Yan was about to work overtime, she received a WeChat message…

It was sent by Shishi.

It's a Weibo post, Sina Entertainment's summary of films released in the first half of the year and a report on summer movies...

I initially thought it was a comparison report, but Yan flipped through it and took a look.

Uh, I compared the film market performance of Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi, all top actresses born in the 85s.

The article lists the following films: *Telephone*, *Perfect Two*, *The Great Wudang*, *The Four*, and *After the Glamour*...

No one was praised, it was all criticism!

Including "The Telephone," which is described as "a story told through jump scares that seems logical but doesn't stand up to scrutiny"...

As for the acting skills of the three, to sum it up in one sentence: failing grade!

Wow, they really will stop at nothing to attract a flame war.

Of course, Shen Yan wasn't saying their acting skills were particularly good...

But... is it really necessary to curse like that?
Didn't you know that these people are all top influencers with over ten million followers?
Oh, look down... and they're praising Jing Tian...

She was mainly praised for her performance in "The Prodigal Son"...

(.)
After frowning and thinking for a moment, could it be that Starlight Entertainment hired online trolls?
I quickly called Shishi...

Oh, after the glamour, the box office was terrible—it only grossed 600 million in its opening weekend.

She doesn't deserve the title of "Number One Sister" at all!

I reckon Shishi is a little upset…

I quickly called her.

Shi Shi was indeed quite upset, and said directly, "Emperor Entertainment was originally going to sign us several film contracts, but that's completely off the table!"
