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

Chapter 408 Kick him out!
Shen Yan... clearly underestimated his own influence!

He and Nini were photographed as soon as they arrived at the hotel…

Then netizens started speculating about the relationship between the two…

A bunch of insiders jumped out, saying things like "a close relationship" and "Shen Yan is very satisfied with Nini's skills in bed"...

And, to avoid being seen, they deliberately took Nini to the United States, ostensibly for filming, but really just for a vacation.

Is it a rumor? There's no need to be so serious...

Yes, they organized a professional online troll army to smear Shen Yan for a long time...

The fabricated stories just seem...very unbelievable!

At first glance, it seems like utter nonsense...

Will anyone believe it?
Haha, the rumor that Liu Yifei was a transgender person spread all over the internet back then, and many people believed it without a doubt.

Once a dissident is formed, they can easily become deeply entrenched…

But now we live in the era of mobile internet!
Celebrities can speak out for themselves.

He posted a Weibo post explaining why he had dinner with Nini, and also replied to netizens in the comments section: "The inspiration for 'Making a Name for Oneself' came from a script discussion... and then I thought of a bunch of Hong Kong mystery cases from the golden age of Hong Kong cinema... A wealthy businessman invites a group of filmmakers to an abandoned mansion for a film script meeting. The businessman solves the sensational murder case of the 'Three Elders' in Shanghai, and everyone thinks this movie has potential, it's sure to be a big hit, and then they can become famous overnight..."

"The film itself isn't complicated, and filming it was quite simple... Coincidentally, the actors from 'American Dreams in China' weren't quite satisfied, so we invited them to make another one together..."

“Nini… I feel really bad for her, her role in 'American Dreams in China' was very small…”

After replying briefly, Shen Yan seemed to remember something: "Is your contract termination with New Pictures complicated?"

"Not complicated..."

Nini shook her head: "The problem now is that we can't agree on the termination fee..."

"About money..." Shen Yan said casually, "If you don't have enough money, just tell me... I'm quite wealthy right now!"

Nini smiled, then seemed to remember something: "They said you made fifty million from the movie 'The Big Shot'?"

"More or less..." Shen Yan did not deny it: "When I act in movies, I usually don't receive a salary, but I take a share of the profits."

"You take 15% of the profits from 'The Big Shot'?"

"right…"

"What if the box office isn't high?"

"My movies have done reasonably well at the box office."

“No,” Nini quickly explained, “I heard that top Hollywood stars earn 20+20… $20 million plus 2000% of the total global box office revenue…”

"Who did you listen to?"

"I've read so many reports, and they all say Leonardo is a star among stars... his salary is at least 2000 million per film..."

"…this…"

Okay, that's true!
Leonardo DiCaprio is a member of the $2000 million salary club…

And his team cares about this a lot!

—The revenue share can be lower, but the 2000 million yuan salary cannot be reduced by even a penny.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan added, "I also receive a fixed salary... 500 million!"

"so tall?"

“I’m the screenwriter, lead actor, and producer…” At this point, Shen Yan added, “If you don’t have enough money, just say the word!”

"Okay!" Nini nodded, changing the subject: "Is the new visual amazing?"

"What a load of rubbish... Without Zhang Yimou, he's just an empty shell, and no media outlets even interview him!"

"That's right..."

……

More Than Blue is just a melodramatic, sentimental film, a tragic love story...

There's not much to say about the movie itself.

Yang Mi herself didn't really like this movie.

But Shen Yan told her that the movie could gross at least 4 million yuan!
She believed it…

The main cast includes Yang Mi, Wang Kai, Zhu Yilong, and Zhao Liying… a veritable gathering of handsome men and beautiful women…

Yang Mi had only one observation while filming this drama: her crying scenes have improved a lot…

After a day of filming, she returned to her room to rest and casually sent a message in the group chat: "I shed at least half a pound of tears today!"

"...I can vouch for it, it really weighs half a jin!"

Zhao Liying immediately joined in, and also added many photos of Yang Mi crying...

Yang Tianbao chimed in, "Wait, why are you crying every day in this play?"

Yang Mi explained, "I didn't cry every day... but I held back my tears throughout the entire filming..."

"...a melodramatic love movie..." Shi Shi explained: "The male and female protagonists become each other's only support due to family changes. The male protagonist is terminally ill with a hereditary disease. In order to make the female protagonist 'happy,' he hides his illness and tries his best to arrange for her to marry the second male lead."

The female lead already knew the truth, but to fulfill the male lead's wish, she pretended to accept the arrangement and actively pursued the second male lead...

The two reached a tacit understanding by keeping secrets from each other, and in the end, the male protagonist died of illness, and the female protagonist also chose to commit suicide for love.

The "self-sacrifice of going both ways" becomes the heart-wrenching core of the story...

"...Have you read this script?"

"I glanced at it..." Shi Shi admitted, adding, "I can't play this kind of role... I can't cry..."

"How many days have you been filming 'Blind Witness'?"

"We've only been filming for a week, but I feel like I did a pretty good job this time..."

While we were chatting, Yang Tianbao suddenly shared a link with the title 'Shen Yan's Night Meeting with Nini'...

Um? Night party…

What an evocative word!

A group of people clicked on it in perfect unison...

Uh, these are a set of candid photos. Shen Yan and Nini are sitting face to face, probably talking about something, and Nini is laughing hysterically...

This is enough!

Even without reading the text below, the word that came to mind was: bitch.

It's obvious she's trying to seduce Shen Yan...

Zhao Liying spoke first: "...Brother Yan wants her to collaborate again? 'Making a Name for Himself'?"

Yang Tianbao: "I know... I'm playing the second female lead!"

Yang Mi: "Huh? You're playing the second female lead... Why is Nini playing the female lead? Just because she's a 'Zhang Yimou girl'?"

"Isn't it enough?"

"She's not Gong Li or Zhang Ziyi... She's a newcomer, didn't win any awards for 'The Flowers of War'... and got all sorts of criticism. Why should she play the female lead in Shen Yan's story?" @ShiShi: "Did you ask him?"

Shi Shi replied: "...He must have his own ideas...I'll ask him later!"

Yang Mi immediately said, "Ask him, he'll definitely say something like 'the image is suitable,' and I'm telling you, those are all-purpose words... Just ask him, 'Does that mean no one else but Nini is suitable?'..."

Zhao Liying interjected, "What do you mean? You want to kick her out of the crew?"

"Is that not possible? He even invited Ge You, he can totally use other actresses!"

I also took a screenshot of Shen Yan's Weibo post...

Shi Shi then opened Shen Yan's WeChat and sent a message: "Is the female lead still played by Nini?"

Then she continued chatting in the group: "When I was in New York, I spent a few days with Nini, and she seemed like a pretty quiet girl... Also, Nini's image in 'American Dreams in China' wasn't very good... She played a female college student who went abroad to study and chose to marry a white American in order to stay in the US... I feel like Brother Yan might have felt bad about it, so he gave her another role..."

"Then ask him why he doesn't contact you."

"...I'll ask later..."

After waiting for a long time, Shen Yan still hadn't replied...

That's not right. Normally, he'd reply within three minutes at most...
