Chapter 431 A Sensation? (24)

Actually, if Shen Yan wanted to, he could easily get in touch with Xu Zheng...

Shen Yan didn't really want to have anything to do with him...

Actually, Xu Zheng has a pretty good image!
He can play both cowardly, roguish characters in comedies and ruthless, arrogant villains.

He is a rare actor who embodies the style of a middle-class person from a big city.

Huang Bo acted in a bunch of middle-class films, such as "The Right Way to Open Up Your Life," "The Man Who Was Taken Away by the Light," and "Mozart in Outer Space"...

If Xu Zheng had played this kind of role, it wouldn't have been so awkward...

But this person... is too shrewd.

Later, he became obsessed with fame and fortune!
Once a person begins to fall into depravity, even if it's only for a few short years, God will take away all your talents and strength in the shortest possible time.

"Life Against the Grain" is terrible.

It's entirely a work of imagination.

He has lost his sense of touch!

In his world, a person needs to experience many unexpected events, such as a car accident, a serious illness, or making all the wrong important decisions, before life becomes difficult.

But in the real world, ordinary people don't need surprises; they're just not outstanding, and that makes their situation very difficult.

A 45-year-old programmer from a major tech company...was laid off and can't find work now...

Dude, do you know what a 45-year-old programmer at a major tech company means?
If we trace back to when he first started working, it was right when the internet first came out. He started in this industry back then, so he's considered one of the first generation of internet people!
The programmer community was very small back then...

If you're truly capable, big companies are all eyeing you.

If you get fired and can't find a job, it just means you're a slacker!
I know nothing about the internet industry, nor do I know anything about delivery drivers…

The ideal age is 26 to 28. The premise is that the person makes money by following a big boss. The big boss is good at interpersonal relationships and gives them a lot of money. Then the big boss takes the opportunity to sell the company. The original junior employees who received the money are laid off by the new boss.

People in their late 26s and early 28s are in an extremely awkward position. They own a house but don't have a car, little experience, and no qualifications, which is why they might end up delivering food...

But Xu Zheng can't play roles between 26 and 28!
Actually, if he really wanted to make "Life Against the Grain," he wouldn't need to make a script at all. Just give him a new phone in July or August, during the hottest days of summer, give him 200 yuan as start-up capital, and rent him a place in an urban village...

They could just deliver takeout for 30 days straight, then edit the footage, release it as a documentary, and it would be a huge hit.

What? You want him dead?
Treating grassroots stories as a code to traffic and wealth—how can someone who's unwilling to endure hardship expect to make money?

It's best to avoid people like that...

Oh, "The Grandmaster" has been released, and unsurprisingly, the reviews are polarized: people either love it or hate it...

Actually, Wong Kar-wai isn't cut out for this kind of movie!
Because it involves the historical context.

Shen Yan also particularly liked Leslie Cheung's pretentious style with the bird without feet and Tony Leung's melancholic gaze, but when these styles met the broader historical context, they seemed out of place.

The revolution is in full swing here, while you're still putting on airs over there...

That's pretty boring!

Especially that line, "There's a North and a South, but does the country have a North?", and then what? There was no follow-up...

But the movie's visuals are truly amazing, top-notch aesthetics!

Zhang Ziyi also returned to her peak with "The Grandmaster"...

Unfortunately, times have changed.

The era of the "Four Dan and Two Bing" (referring to four top actresses and two top actresses in Chinese cinema) is coming to an end, and the era of the six middle-aged generation has begun...

……

In "Charlotte," Yuan Hua is quite enviable; he slept with Qiu Ya!
Of course, this happened in Charlotte's dream...

In my dream, Qiuya was also a foolish gold digger...

They don't even know what HIV is...

At the hospital, a doctor came out and said, "Everyone, please calm down. We have detected HIV in Mr. Charlotte's blood. It's positive."

Qiuya: "Oh, okay... So is he alright in the head?"

The doctor was stunned.

Qiuya asked in confusion, "Wait a minute? What did you just say? HIV? Is it bird flu?"

"Uh," the doctor explained, "it's what's commonly known as AIDS!" Qiuya collapsed, her body going limp and she fainted. The others helped her up.

"Qiu Ya, try to think more positively."

Qiuya immediately jumped up, cursing, "Xia Luo! You bastard! How could you do this... Take me to get checked out right now..."

Yuan Hua pursed his lips, then sighed: "Check it out for me too."

Zhang Yang was shocked…

By the way, the actor who plays Zhang Yang is Song Yang, a very talented stage director who co-wrote and directed "Never Say Die" with Zhang Chiyu.

Uh, their later film, *The Incredibles*, set a record for the worst critical reception of a Mahua FunAge film…

After filming this scene, Shen Yan's movie was finished...

I spoke with the director about the promotion: "These are four promotional songs. One is 'It's Not Easy to Have Someone Who Loves You,' sung by Na Ying… I'll sing one version of 'Love in Distress' and 'Just Once,' and then Lin Junjie will sing one version…"

"You really want Andy Lau to sing 'People in Our Village'?"

"Give it a try, no problem. We'll continue to work with him on 'Sheep Without a Shepherd 2,' so he should be willing to give us face!"

"...When will it be launched?"

"The song will be released in August, promotion will be concentrated in September, and the film will be released during the National Day holiday!"

After a pause, Shen Yan continued, "The recording of 'Comedy General Mobilization' will begin in March, and the Mahua FunAge team must win the championship!"

Yan Fei nodded to Peng Damo: "Under the premise of fairness and impartiality, we are confident that... You've got Deyun Society sorted out?"

"Not yet... If all else fails, we'll find another crosstalk troupe..." Waving his hand, Shen Yan said, "Alright, you don't need to worry about it, I'm leaving now!"

After saying goodbye to the actors and crew, Shen Yan left the film crew...

Yang Mi left yesterday—she had to rush to film "Midsummer's Love"...

Having just signed with H&R Century Pictures, I need to produce some results.

……

"My Love from the Star" aired up to episode 24, and the finale will air tomorrow.

A lot of netizens are speculating about the ending:

Some say that Do Min-joon loses his superpowers and grows old with the female lead;
Some say that in order to protect Cheon Song-yi from being killed by Lee Jae-kyung, Do Myung-joon did not hesitate to show off his superpowers in front of everyone, revealing his alien identity and becoming the target of police from all over the world.

Do Min-joon had no choice but to flee with Cheon Song-yi, and from then on, only the love legend of Cheon Song-yi and Do Min-joon remained in the world...

No one knows where the two went on Earth or whether they fled to another planet.

Some say that Do Min-joon returned to the planet alone, and before leaving, he used his last bit of energy to erase Cheon Song-yi's memories...

They even guessed the scene and plot: Several years later, while Cheon Song-yi was drinking beer and fried chicken, a comet suddenly flew by, and she inexplicably felt sad, tears streaming down her face...

"My Love from the Star" is so popular, its viewership rating on Hong Kong's TVB has exceeded 40%...

Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and even Japan and South Korea are all discussing copyright...

The number of online views has exceeded 40 billion!
The viewership ratings and market share in mainland China reached 7.2% and 35% respectively…

This proportion already has some of the charm of the show "My Fair Princess" back in the day, drawing massive crowds...

At this time, anything even remotely related to "My Love from the Star" would become incredibly popular.

After Shen Yan arrived in Hangzhou, a bunch of magazines, newspapers and media outlets immediately swarmed around him—at this time, anything related to Shen Yan would definitely sell out.

Several thousand fans even formed a group to greet them at the airport…

The number of people did not decrease after they arrived at the TV station.

Ultimately, more than 300 police officers had to be deployed to maintain order…

Shen Yan even saw billboards and exterior walls with stills of himself and Jing Tian from the drama...

I asked around and found out it was paid for by fans…

In addition, many shopping mall billboards feature advertisements with photos of Shen Yan holding an OPPO phone—Shen Yan renewed his contract with OPPO for 3500 million yuan, becoming the brand ambassador for all OPPO products, a two-year deal…

OPPO went all out, launching a nationwide campaign in second-tier and higher cities, advertising on large screens…
