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

Chapter 457 Reba (44)

Charles Barkley once publicly criticized Michael Jordan, saying, "Everyone says Jordan is handsome, but I don't think he's handsome at all! Anyone with $5 million would look handsome. But seriously, if he were just a plumber, no one would ever praise him for being handsome."

So money does indeed have an added bonus.

Including Ma Yun…

For a while, a lot of people online were analyzing Ma Yun's face...

As a result, Xiao Ma Yunyue became an internet celebrity...

Therefore, the allure of money is indeed very strong!
After admitting that his net worth exceeded one billion, Naza became even more attentive.

"Finding Mr. Right yesterday was the first workday of the year, and the daily box office was 2900 million... If I remember correctly, Sunday's box office was 3400 million... The drop is less than 20%, which means the second week's total box office should be more than 8000 million more than the first week..."

"How do you calculate it?"

"Compare the box office data with similar films..."

"Same type?"

"Love is Not Blind!"

“…Huh?” Naza exclaimed in surprise, “Love is Not Blind? But that movie didn’t even gross over 33 million!”

"The market was smaller back then, but now there are movies that easily gross over a billion yuan..."

Naza held the peeled shrimp directly to his mouth with his hand... Shen Yan had no choice but to open his mouth.

"...You're amazing! You figured all of this out?"

"No, these were all calculated using large numbers..." Shen Yan changed the subject: "Have you seen 'Finding Mr. Right'?"

"Of course I watched it..."

Shen Yan asked with a smile, "So what do you think of this movie?"

"I think it's quite romantic..."

Have you seen the comments online?

Naza nodded: "Yeah, I saw it..."

"Many people are saying this movie whitewashes mistresses...it has warped values..."

“Haha,” Shen Yan laughed, took out his phone, opened Weibo, and posted a comment: “Recently, many people have asked me to talk about ‘Finding Mr. Right’… I’ve read a lot of comments, and they’re a bit polarized… Those who like it really like it, while those who hate it say things like ‘whitewashing the mistress’ or ‘morally questionable’… First of all, let me say that the character Wen Jiajia needs to go to the US to give birth, so she is naturally a mistress… This is undeniable, and she is involved in such a role in the story.”

As for the whitewashing... I think that's a bit of a joke. Wen Jiajia was quite annoying in the early stages!

Of course, her shining moments will appear later, and she will be very cute. If the main character is not cute, no audience will buy into it.

Secondly, in works like "Pretty Woman" and "Parisian Gold Digger," the female protagonists are both prostitutes, but they both have happy endings. Does that mean these works are morally corrupt?
"The Graduate" is even more outrageous; it's practically a thuggish movie.

The boy got together with the girl and also messed around with the girl's mother... This movie is absolutely terrible!

Ban it immediately!
The ending of "Finding Mr. Right" takes place three years later... Wen Jiajia has long since left her godfather and has her own career...

However, I particularly agree with the saying, "If Wen Jiajia meets Lao Zhong first, it's like 'Finding Mr. Right'; if she meets Frank first, it's like 'Dwelling Narrowness'!"

He posted directly on Weibo, glanced at Naza, and was about to offer to take her back to school when Naza took out a notebook from her bag: "...This is my photography collection...Do you want to take a look?"

Shen Yan took it and casually replied, "A photo album? Who took these photos for you?"

"When I was a print model, the company hired a photographer to take my photos..."

"That's good too, a record of youth..."

As he spoke, he flipped through the pages, and Shen Yan was completely dumbfounded…

Naza sat directly on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck: "...What do you think of this photo?"

"...Very good, skin as smooth as cream and face as beautiful as a peach blossom..."

"That…"

Naza's eyes were glazed over, her red lips slightly parted...

Shen Yan decisively picked her up and carried her directly into the side hall of the private room…

One wants to improve, the other doesn't reject it...

...The next day, at the Beijing Peking Opera Art Experience Center, they filmed the music video for "The Red-Clad Lament"...

The initial plan was to have Shen Yan dress up as a woman.

After applying makeup, she definitely looks very elegant...

After the head is tied up, the corners of the eyes and the eyebrows slant upwards, making them look more spirited.

But... Shen Yan's appearance isn't suitable for playing a female lead!
The ideal female impersonator is gentle and refined, but Shen Yan's appearance is too masculine...

The edges are too sharp!

Wow, that's so manly...

They simply called Dilraba and did her makeup—Dilraba was originally filming the music video for "Darwin"...

Just a heads up, as for the music video for "Darwin," you could try casting Chen Yao!

Oh, Shen Yan didn't go to the Peking Opera Theater to film; instead, he just found a stage at the Peking Opera Art Experience Center and filmed there.

There are just too many rules in the Peking Opera industry!
Many people say that Guo Degang is too particular about rules, but in reality, when it comes to rules, the crosstalk industry can't compare to the Peking Opera industry...

To put it simply, even the audience has to follow the rules…

When to cheer, and when to remain silent...

Speechless. The film *Farewell My Concubine* clearly states, "It's all low-class business, so let's not look down on each other!"—In the late Qing Dynasty, all those who made money by entertaining people and asking for tips were considered low-class…

Beggars and prostitutes are examples, as are many drum singers who are also prostitutes, and so are crosstalk and Peking Opera performers.

Even restaurant waiters are
They all serve others and try to please them...

I don't know how they suddenly became so well-behaved!

Furthermore, Peking Opera is divided into various schools that constantly fight each other…

Shen Yan is just a singer and doesn't want to be associated with any particular genre.

He's gotten himself into a mess!

Filming is over…

Dilraba got directly into Shen Yan's car.

"I'm going to a seminar... do you want to come along?"

What kind of symposium?

"It's just that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television invited us to the Beijing Film Festival... for a meeting." Shen Yan glanced at Dilraba: "Let's go together, you'll be walking the red carpet too..."

Dilraba was bewildered: "Why do I have to walk the red carpet?"

Shen Yan started the car and casually said, "...You're good-looking, and there are quite a few foreigners bringing projects to the Beijing Film Festival to attract investment. What if there are any good projects?"

“Oh,” Dilraba nodded, as if she remembered something, “So, am I prettier or is Naza prettier?”

"Of course you're prettier!" Shen Yan answered reflexively without even thinking...

"Then why did you still ask her to film the music video?"

"She's quite pitiful; she was cyberbullied after her debut, and she needs money..."

As they were talking, Shen Yan told Reba about how Nazha had lent her father money for medical treatment. Upon hearing this, Reba felt so guilty that she wanted to die... She took out her phone and prepared to contact Nazha.

"I've already lent her 200 million... so please don't bother her anymore!"

"Brother, you're such a good person!"

"...Thank you for the compliment," Shen Yan changed the subject: "How was the filming of 'The Empress of China'?"

"...I can't say for sure," Dilraba hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just feel like the production crew is really rich!"

"Hmm? You're rich? What do you mean?"

"I heard that Little Fatty prepared more than 200 outfits, and no two of her outfits were the same. The most expensive one, a dragon robe, cost nearly 50 yuan."
