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

Chapter 5 Failed Attempt

Shen Yan was a little speechless...

The original body is really an idiot!

You're clearly related, but you're not pretending to be noble...

The entertainment industry itself relies on connections...

You have a second uncle, why not use it?
Who are you showing off to?

This is your second uncle, he is arguably the closest person to you in this world, bar none.

Oh, Second Uncle said he gave him 20,000 yuan this time and specifically told him not to be stingy when he's with the group and to focus on maintaining relationships...

Twenty thousand yuan?
Shen Yan was a little confused...

If he had known that he would have paid 20,000 yuan, he wouldn't have bought a second-hand computer...

I will not even recharge 100 yuan in an Internet cafe!
As for how to spend this money...

Maintaining the relationship is fine, but joining the gangster circle in the future is another matter!
But it did solve his urgent problem - otherwise, he wouldn't have enough money to go to Hengdian for an audition.

"Living Buddha Jigong" held auditions in Hengdian...

I checked and found out that the director of "Living Buddha Jigong" is Lin Tianyi, a Taiwanese director who is famous for directing local dramas for FTV. His representative works include "True Love Without Regrets" and "Million Bride"...

Although it is not as good as "Unforgettable" (526 episodes) and "My Mother's Home" (937 episodes), he is also a director who has achieved great success in both melodrama and ethics!

So, after he went to the mainland to develop his career, he filmed "The Temptation of Going Home" and "The Good Wife"...

The producer of "Living Buddha Jigong" is Jian Yuanxin, who is also the screenwriter of "Living Buddha Jigong".

He is Lin Tianyi's producer. Jian Yuanxin is also a very impressive figure. In addition to being good at producing melodramatic family ethics dramas, such as "Million Bride" and "The Eldest Son's Wife", he is also very good at costume comedy, such as "Strange Hero Ouyang De" and "Living Buddha Jigong"...

"Living Buddha Jigong"... Shen Yan didn't have much impression of this drama, he just knew it was quite popular, although it was bad, but the ratings were high...

Lead actor Benny Chan has made his living from this drama, starring in a bunch of "Jigong" movies, like "Jigong: The Arhat Conquering the Dragon" and "The True and False Jigong." They're all standard online dramas: alluring posters, porn-like scenes, and a nonsensical story...

After thinking about it, Shen Yan decided to go get the computer first.

We agreed on an offline transaction yesterday.

With the remaining money, he planned to visit Panjiayuan, Daliushu, and Baoguo Temple collectors' markets to find some genuine goods...

Antiques have been very popular in recent years!
In prosperous times, people value the collection of cultural relics and antiques, while in troubled times, people value gold.

Yesterday he saw someone watching "Huayuzhimen" in an internet cafe...

After a little research, I found that variety shows about treasure appraisal are a major trend, such as "Appraising Treasures", "Huayuzhimen", "World Collection" and so on...

In his previous life, he had also watched some treasure appraisal live broadcasts, such as "Listening to the Spring to Appraise Treasures" and "Everyday Appraisal of Treasures"...

To be honest, he doesn't know much about these things, but he has the Fuxi inheritance, so he does have some vision!

I don’t want to find a bargain, but I want to avoid being fooled!
It’s still difficult to find a bargain these days.

But, the antique business relies on vision and luck...

Shen Yan felt that he was lucky!

Even if you can't get a big bargain, it's not bad to get a small one to improve your life.

……

After breakfast, I went to the place we had agreed to meet yesterday, powered on the computer, checked it out, and then bought a used computer for 650 yuan. I then bought a keyboard and mouse...

I went to an internet cafe and took a look at the contract news for the work...

No contract message...

I guess we have to wait a few days.

It didn't matter. After uploading two more chapters, Shen Yan calmed down and wrote for three hours. After saving 6 chapters, he started writing Lotus Tower again...

Around 3pm, I left the internet cafe and headed to Panjiayuan...

Panjiayuan was crowded and bustling with people. Stalls were lined up one after another, filled with a wide variety of antiques... Shen Yan's eyes scanned the crowd like a radar.

First, I stopped at a stall filled with porcelain, picked up a blue and white porcelain vase, carefully examined the pattern, and gently touched the glaze with my hands to feel its texture...

The colors are too bright, not calm enough, and the painting is a bit rough...

Well, this thing is obviously a modern imitation!
The porcelain stalls are basically filled with this kind of stuff...

Then a group of old men took magnifying glasses and carefully examined each fake after another...

The final selection is nothing more than the difference between whether it was unearthed last week or last month!

It feels quite pitiful!

Shen Yan looked at it for a while, then went to the coin stall next door!

I was too lazy to squat down, so I just took a quick look while standing.

When looking at ancient coins, one should mainly look at the font, rust color, shape, etc.

The font of the genuine product is strong and powerful, the rust color is natural and layered, and the shape is regular and in line with the casting technology at that time.

But the coins on this stall...how should I put it, the fonts are weak and there is rust on the surface, so they are obviously fake.

Isn’t it said that most stalls will screen out a few real coins?

Am I too late?
Has the real thing been picked out?

Damn, how are those treasure appraisal articles written?

Not practical at all!
After shopping for two hours, Shen Yan only spent 1500 to buy a wolf-hair brush.

The craftsmanship of the pen holder of this pen does have a bit of ancient style, but it is still lacking in details. This is a typical wolf-hair brush from the Republic of China imitating the Ming Dynasty!
Well, the wolf-hair brushes of the Ming Dynasty were easy to make and the craftsmanship was quite sophisticated. However, by the time of the Republic of China, many of the techniques had been lost or simplified, so the production of the brush handles was a little lacking...

Antiques are antiques, don’t be afraid of imitations, there are many old items among the imitations, it mainly depends on the level of imitation!
Shen Yan thought it was pretty good, so he went to Tianbao Pavilion in Panjiayuan and sold it for 1800...

Uh, the revenue for two hours is 300 yuan!
Damn it, I can’t do this job.

Come to think of it, Panjiayuan is under official market management, and the sellers are very cunning. Let alone finding a bargain, even souvenirs with a little value are difficult to buy at a low price!
I guess the collection market for Daliushu and Baoguo Temple is similar!

Suddenly I remembered a line from "Under the Gate of Zhengyang": The good things have been taken away long ago!
Never mind, this thing doesn't work!
This path of picking up leaks is clearly not suitable for him...

Just continue to be a plagiarist.

……

A week later.

Shen Yan basically stays at home typing... He has completed the contract with Qidian.

By the way, I sent "Lotus Tower" to "Legends of the Past and Present: Martial Arts Edition"...

The manuscript of "The Supreme One" is close to 50,000 words...

I went to the internet cafe, saved these in the background, then left BJ and headed to Hengdian...

Shen Yan hadn't had any expectations for this trip. To be honest, he wasn't planning on getting any roles...

You see, "The Honored One" was successfully signed and is currently at the top of the new book list. It has received good collections and recommendations. If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be crowned the Rookie of the Year.

"The Honored One" can definitely beat the original 09 newcomer Wang Zhuang and Bi Fan.

His novel is called "Master of All Occupations in Another World"...

This book is an early, cool, and pretentious novel. The protagonist possesses a game character with superb attributes, takes his storage with him, and travels to another world. As for the plot, it's just a constant stream of face-slapping. No matter what the plot is, it always leads to a show-off and face-slapping moment.

Ahem...

"Lotus Tower" has also been sent to the "Wuxia Edition" and if nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to be serialized...

With this starting point, Shen Yan felt that it was enough to support himself!
The reason I agreed to audition for the film "Living Buddha Jigong" was mainly because I didn't want to disappoint Sister Yang's kindness...
