Chapter 455 Borrowing Money (24)

In the original timeline, "Finding Mr. Right" almost failed to break 10 million yuan at the box office on its opening day...

Thanks to its strong word-of-mouth and high level of discussion, it grossed 7000 million yuan in its first four days and ultimately achieved a box office of over 5.2 million yuan.

Then the industry thought Tang Wei was amazing.

The film "The Golden Era," with a budget of 8000 million, flopped.

"Only You," a film that imitates "Finding Mr. Right," has flopped again.
Three Cities, Office Ladies...

Including "The Whistleblower," in which he continued to collaborate with Xue Xiaolu, it not only flopped at the box office but also received poor reviews!
If it weren't for winning a Best Actress award in South Korea for "Decision to Break Up," and then being touted as high-class by various marketing accounts, she probably would have been forgotten long ago!

Also...

I'm almost 50, past my prime!
Uh, this time Yang Mi is the lead actress...

It actually managed to get a 7.6 rating on its opening score...

It was really tough!

You should know that Honey was last year's Golden Broom Award winner for Most Disappointing Actress.

She has a fixed group of haters on Douban.

Of course, it could also be because of Shi Shi's supporting role...

Shishi has a very good reputation on Douban.

On the one hand, she has a relatively small percentage of bad films; on the other hand, she has a rather laid-back approach to life…

Well, the main reason is that the proportion of bad movies is very low; most of them are passable.

In short, based on the current popularity and word-of-mouth, the box office of "Finding Mr. Right" will most likely surpass that of the original timeline, so Shen Yan is no longer paying much attention to it.

He was busy filming a music video with Nazha…

……

Damn it... This is really bad.

However, I really don't understand her thought process. She has clearly dated men, so why does she promote herself as an innocent girl?

That's just plain stupidity!

"Ballad of the Desert" has yet to obtain a broadcast license.

Tangren... didn't give up on her, after all, she was indeed very beautiful.

To be honest, Naza relies entirely on her looks to make a living; otherwise, with her professional skills, she wouldn't have been able to enter the industry at all!

Later, when selecting people for the Chinese entertainment industry, the criteria were either pure popularity with real buzz, or pure acting skills with established reputations...

Relying solely on looks and inflated popularity data is no longer viable.

She gradually faded from popularity...

But thanks to that face, he still remains active in many Chinese entertainment articles...

And she gradually became a substitute for Yang Mi—the kind of woman who isn't the main heroine, but has a thing with the male lead…

In fact, she is very suitable for playing the ultimate "flower vase" who is full of charm, status, and strength. This kind of role may not necessarily be the lead, but it must be the protagonist's friend.

Well, for example... Longkui!
They are not the absolute main characters, and do not drive or change the plot...

The kind of show like "My Rich Second-Generation Friend"...

During a break in filming, Shen Yan asked her, "You've been going to school lately? You haven't been filming?"

Naza said, "I did film some; I acted in 'Police Story 2013'..."

Who are you playing?

"I play the villain's sister..."

"The villain's sister? The villain has a sister?"

"Aren't you a screenwriter?"

"Yes, I'm the screenwriter..." Shen Yan was stunned for a moment: "But I remember the villain I wrote didn't have a sister! Tell me the plot!"

"…Oh well!"

Naza briefly explained the plot...

Shen Yan...felt it had absolutely nothing to do with his script...

His villain is Sun Xing…

Sun Xing is the kind of guy who makes you want to bite into marble!

The villains in Police Story 2013 were weak.

"Wait while I make a call." Shen Yan smiled at her, then called Ji Xiang: "Did Wanda rewrite my script for 'Police Story'? If they did, don't credit me as the screenwriter..."

"...Didn't pass the review? Why didn't it pass the review?"

Ji Xiang said a lot, but it was all about the scale and the allusions... "Damn it... then don't credit me... at worst, we'll return the scriptwriting fee to them and film it ourselves!"

"Be firmer..."

Hang up the phone...

Continue filming the music video.

However, Shen Yan sensed that Nazha seemed somewhat distracted…

I couldn't help but remind her, "Shooting a music video is simple, but you still need to put your heart into it... Just like the skits you rehearse in class, these are all things you accumulate experience!"

"…sorry,"

Naza quickly apologized...

"It's okay, it'll be fine after a little adjustment..."

Naza filmed the music video for "Looking Out the Window"...

I changed several outfits; I guess I'm a bit tired.

Tang Dynasty costumes, Song Dynasty costumes, and ancient costumes from the Wei and Jin Dynasties...

They did it all...

Her features are striking, giving her a mixed-race look, yet she can skillfully carry off traditional Hanfu.

With her hair styled in a classic updo and her clothes fluttering in the wind, she exudes a sense of detachment, like a fairy who has fallen to earth, while the grassland and sandstorm in the background add a touch of chivalrous spirit.

The layered design of tulle and embroidery allows exotic elements to coexist harmoniously with classical Eastern beauty…

It really looks great!

She truly deserves to be called a model of making it in the entertainment industry based on her looks...

After finishing a day of filming, Shen Yan was discussing editing with director Sha Weiqi. After chatting for a while, he prepared to go home and then saw Nazha standing to the side.

Quite surprised…

"...You didn't leave? Your assistant didn't come?"

"...I let her go first!"

I understand... this means they want to improve!
Sure enough, Naza then said, "Can I treat you to a meal?"

Shen Yan glanced at his watch; it was 7 p.m., and he was feeling a bit hungry. "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"…ah?"

"Let's go..."

……

Once in the car, Naza put his bag in his lap and suddenly said, "My current paycheck is about 7 yuan after taxes... If I were to shoot commercials, I could earn 10 yuan, but I haven't received any offers lately..."

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment: "What the hell?"

"...I...I want to borrow some money!"

“(ω`)”

Shen Yan replied with this emoji...

"My father is in poor health...he needs heart surgery, and I don't earn enough money..."

"...Wait a minute~"

Shen Yan interrupted her: "Didn't you tell Lao Cai?"

“No…” Nazha shook his head: “They said Tangren is in a complete mess right now, busy trying to unban ‘Ballad of the Desert’…”

Well, Tangren is indeed a bit overwhelmed with its own problems!
For a film and television production company, financial stability is actually very difficult. From the initial investment to production, broadcasting, and finally recouping costs through television rights and DVD sales, the process is often lengthy…

Therefore, at its peak, Tangren only produced three dramas a year. This meant that if the revenue of a drama did not meet expectations, it could trigger a series of chain reactions that would keep the company from recovering for a long time.

The straw that broke the camel's back for the Tang Dynasty was "Ballad of the Desert"!
"Ballad of the Desert" was produced by Tangren Media with a huge investment. They originally planned to premiere it this year and then recoup their investment to produce subsequent episodes.

However, a broadcasting license has not yet been obtained.

Lose all your money!
At this point in time, it's not a good idea for Naza to ask for a loan.

“Alright,” Shen Yan said, “Send me your bank card number, and I’ll transfer you 200 million… If that’s not enough, just let me know!”

“…I can do a lot of things…ah?” Naza was about to mention some slave contracts, but Shen Yan agreed immediately…

Shen Yan changed the subject: "You only get 7 yuan for filming a TV series?"

"The company will take half..."

"Dilraba's salary is much higher than yours!"
