Chapter 450 MV Shooting (14)

Uh… Shen Yan's film "The Big Shot" ultimately attracted 385 million viewers in South Korea…

The final box office grossed $1900 million!
Ranked 12th, it almost made it into the top ten best-selling charts…

Last year, South Korean films were incredibly successful, with seven out of the top ten box office hits being domestic films!
However, the South Korean remake of "Architecture 101" attracted 4.1 million viewers and grossed $2189 million.

Many South Korean netizens commented on NAVER's film and television reviews: It's not as good as the Chinese version; Bae Suzy's looks aren't as good as Liu Shishi's, and Lee Je-hoon isn't as good as Shen Yan…

Uh, I've never really gotten what's so special about Suzy's beauty...

Perhaps because it's a small country with a small population, they've never seen anything like fine chaff...

However, Shen Yan's name became a sensation in the South Korean film and television industry. The South Korean adaptation rights to "The Big Shot" sold for $200 million, surpassing the adaptation rights to "A Better Tomorrow." The South Korean version is called "The Unknown Man," and the adaptation rights reportedly cost $180 million!
The film "No Man's Land" performed poorly at the box office...

However, this did not prevent South Korea from purchasing the adaptation rights. Films such as *Eye in the Sky*, *Drug War*, *The Message*, and *Saving Mr. Wu* all sold their adaptation rights and have already been released…

So stop saying we're remaking Korean movies; Korean filmmakers also buy our adaptation rights...

Let's get back to Shen Yan.

He's not only the box office record holder in mainland China, but also a famous actor...and importantly, he's handsome and rich...

A true all-rounder!
Nowadays, everyone knows that the Chinese market is huge…

Getting in touch with him is like instantly gaining recognition in China!

In Yang Siwei's words, of course we have the right to choose!

Shen Yan shook his head: "Forget it. If you really want to invite someone, why not invite Song Ji-hyo... Her popularity is higher than all idols!"

"Song Ji-hyo? Who's that?"

"I told you to inquire about the copyright of 'Running Man,' didn't you?"

"Oh, Song Ji-hyo... I know, she's the ACE!"

Have you inquired about the copyright?

"They made three demands: first, a TV station must endorse it; second, they would help film one season; and third, they asked for 50 billion!"

"...50 billion...Korean won?"

"Of course, it's the Korean won!"

"Less than 2500 million RMB...that's a good opportunity!"

It's... pretty cheap!

It mainly features Korean variety shows. They previously sold "2 Days & 1 Night," which aired on Sichuan TV, but the ratings were poor, and it was eventually canceled.
One more thing... "Where Are We Going, Dad?" hasn't been imported yet...

South Korean reality TV has yet to reach its peak.

In the original timeline, Zhejiang TV acquired the rights to "Running Man," and SBS TV earned over 300 billion won (approximately 1.8 million yuan) in profit, which directly helped SBS TV pay off its debts!

Shen Yan nodded: "Continue to follow up. I'll go talk to Xia Chen'an!"

"...I think we should start a company with President Xia that specializes in variety shows, and then separate production from broadcasting..."

"You go do it, I don't have the energy..."

Yang Siwei: "But if you don't participate, Zhejiang TV may not be willing to broadcast it!"

"...Let's talk about it later,"

"What's wrong? You look down on variety show personalities?"

"Not really." Shen Yan shook his head: "The main thing is that I'm not good at creating or responding to jokes. Even if I participated in variety shows, it would be difficult to be interesting... It's better not to try everything!"

……

To be honest, Shen Yan didn't have any aversion to variety shows...

Most importantly, I might not have the time to record variety shows! "The Voice of China" only records one episode a week…

His time is already a bit tight, let alone a reality show!
Besides, he's really not a very interesting person...

People like Shen Teng and Sha Yi are good at creating and responding to jokes; every word and action they take is a joke.

Shen Yan can't do it!
He believes that movies, TV dramas, and variety shows are all for the purpose of serving the audience, and there is no inherent difference in quality or value between them!
Of course, there are definitely differences in art.

But what artistic achievements do many bad plays and dramas have?
Therefore, he completely disregards the so-called hierarchy of contempt in the Chinese entertainment industry!
Oh, let me explain. The so-called hierarchy of contempt in the Chinese entertainment industry: variety show personalities are always at the bottom of the chain. In fact, the title "variety show personalities" is often used to mock actors who ruin their main jobs because of their comedic careers.

Many viewers say, 'Actors need to maintain an air of mystery; excessive exposure will break the audience's immersion in the story!'

The problem is, if you're in this industry, you have to maintain exposure. You don't go on variety shows, and you just focus on making movies.

Filming a show takes at least three months. If the show is not broadcast for some reason, it means that your six months of work will be wasted!

The entertainment industry changes too fast. Most fans nowadays are very ruthless. If you don't get exposure during the middle of filming, people will slowly forget about you, and all your popularity will be wasted.

In the entertainment industry, commercial value is king, as it brings actors better resource options!

It's inappropriate for some actors to expose their various shortcomings when they participate in variety shows.

The idea that someone is socially awkward, introverted, uneducated, or an honest person is just boring...

Some even openly said things like, "Obeying the law is a bad traditional habit!"
Treat my ordinary life as a game, as a hobby, as a joke.

Performing as a proletarian while wearing gold teeth!

……

For the next two weeks, Shen Yan was busy with the album.

To be precise, it's about the music video shooting.

Actually, he didn't have to film the music video...

But he is now a representative figure in the mainland pop music scene. If he didn't make music videos, then... the music video industry could just go bankrupt!
Shi Shi also came over and filmed a music video, titled "The Beauty of the World Is Intertwined with You"!

She filmed for two days, but stayed for five. She couldn't stand her manager's urging and left Beijing.

"Northeast Lover" is about to start filming.

Shi Shi only has two projects this year: the TV series "Legend of Fei" and the movie "Northeast Lover"...

She made an appointment with Shen Yan: during the filming of "The Martian," she would be one of the producers on the set, mainly responsible for the director's daily work...

On March 8th, Park Jiyeon really did come to see Shen Yan…

Oh, Shen Yan said Song Ji-hyo was just joking, but Yang Siwei still invited Park Ji-yeon.

The reason is simple: Brother Yan likes it!
She came to film the music video for "Blooming Flowers All the Way," and Shen Yan was very polite throughout...

But I also took her to visit the Great Wall and Fragrant Hills.

A lavish dinner was specially arranged for her and her agent that evening…

Because communication wasn't easy—Shen Yan didn't understand Korean very well, nor did he understand Park Ji-yeon's English very well.

Koreans speaking English is really hard to understand because they have many silent phonetic symbols. They pronounce English words using Korean pronunciation methods! In Korean, "r" and "l" are not distinguished, and there's no /f/ sound; everything is pronounced as /p/. So, Africa is pronounced as "Aipulika"...

But you don't need to talk while eating.

And there's a translation...

After dinner, Shen Yan was about to take her back to her hotel when her agent chatted with Yang Siwei for a few minutes. Then Yang Siwei came over and asked Shen Yan, "Do you want to sleep with her?"

Shen Yan was surprised and asked in a low voice, "What is that?"

"It means exactly what it says... If you want to sleep, it's simple, just nod, and they'll bring Park Jiyeon to your room!" Yang Siwei paused, then added, "That's their service spirit!"
