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

Chapter 538 "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" (14)

Speechless. Have these people run out of things to talk about?
They're actually gossiping about Shen Yan?
There have been a lot of scandals this year, including those in the entertainment industry and the Li Tianyi incident!
Why not gossip a little?

There are tons of scandals in Hengdian. Let's not even talk about the three streets or anything like that. Just the sex offender director and the like are a whole bunch of things!

There's also the issue of fangirls—some fervent fangirls, when they run out of money, will accompany staff members. The staff, using their work badges, will take them into the venue, allowing them to see their favorite stars up close, and will also provide food and lodging.

And these staff members will brag about it on social media!

After all, it was free sex for him.

And many of the most enthusiastic fangirls are very beautiful!
Anyway, as long as you're in Hengdian, there's always plenty of gossip to enjoy every day.

But then I thought... his grandparents must care about him, that's why they asked him...

"Shishi and I are doing great. She'll be filming in Hengdian in a week. I'll bring her along, and we can all get together then?"

“…That’s good,” Grandma nodded. “Let me tell you, there are very few people like Shishi in this circle…”

This is praising Shi Shi's character...

Shen Yan pouted: "People like me are rare!"

"...Therefore, you must remain restrained and remember your original intentions!"

"My initial goal was simply to make some money and, incidentally, pick up a few girls..."

Grandma got angry: "Do you think I really wouldn't dare to hit you?!"

"I was just kidding..." Shen Yan quickly corrected himself, "I'll definitely be fine..."

He then changed the subject: "By the way, I'm going to meet with the production team of 'Boss & Me' tomorrow, so I won't be back tonight!"

"Boss & Me?"

"I'll play the domineering CEO in idol dramas!"

"...Aren't you a movie actor?"

"They're all the same; movies and TV series are meant to enrich the public's spiritual and cultural needs..."

"Who is the heroine?"

“Zhao Liying,” Shen Yan added, “the woman who just played my girlfriend in ‘The Indelible Number’!”

"Her? I know her..."

"The female lead in 'Legend of Lu Zhen'!"

……

The original novel of "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" is actually quite short, less than 20,000 words!
It's a very happy little story, and the plot is very simple.

The original timeline was not well-received, even by the original author, Gu Man, who did not do any advertising or promotion.

—At the same time, there was also the adaptation of "My Sunshine," and Gu Man devoted all her energy to "My Sunshine."

Why are people not optimistic about it?

There are many novels similar to "Boss & Me" where the Cinderella meets her Prince Charming, especially in Korean dramas where the plot is often like this. However, domestic idol dramas usually have very melodramatic plots, adding a second male lead, a second female lead, and a wicked mother-in-law...

Later, they even added vulgar scenes like getting drunk and having sex or signing contracts!

But "Boss & Me" is a sweet romance drama; there are no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, no complicated family dramas, and no third parties involved. There are no spoiled heiresses in wealthy families, no scheming social circles, and no sycophantic behavior within the household.

A very normal drama!

Moreover, their character designs complement each other.

The male protagonist, Feng Teng, is a person with inner flaws, while the female protagonist, Xue Shanshan, has almost no inner flaws.

Feng Teng lost his parents at a young age and single-handedly supported the huge Feng Teng Group. He experienced all kinds of hardships in the world, but deep down he was always melancholy and unhappy.

Because he had no choice in this matter.

Therefore, he would feel envious when he saw Xue Shanshan, who was always happy, and would stare blankly at her laughing and acting silly. Eventually, his envy turned into love.

Xue Shanshan's sunshine and positive energy perfectly filled the void in Feng Teng's heart, and it was inevitable that Feng Teng would fall in love with Xue Shanshan: he needed her.

As for the performance method…

What acting skills does a domineering CEO need? He just needs to keep a straight face and say, "Woman, you've successfully caught my attention!"

As long as it's not too oily...

That basically completes half the character!
Okay, Feng Teng is a little different; he's a very normal person…

By the way, the director is Sha Weiqi, the whole show has 20 episodes, and the production cost is 8500 million yuan - of which Shen Yan's salary is 3000 million yuan!
Yes, that's 3000 million!
Originally, he planned to convert it into an investment—40% of the investment amount…

After all, his salary is too high - he was paid a sky-high price of 100 million per episode for "My Love from the Star"!

His popularity has now surpassed that of others; if we're talking about market value, it wouldn't be possible to acquire him for less than 150 million…

The production company spent half of its budget on his salary alone.

As it turned out, Huace Media really did offer a salary of 3000 million!

Understandable—before filming even began, only the official announcement of Shen Yan playing the male lead was made, and several major video platforms immediately went into a bidding war, with LeTV ultimately securing the role for a record-breaking 800 million yuan per episode…

In other words, online copyright has already proven to be profitable.

Then... they can certainly afford to pay a 3000 million yuan fee!
Uh, Zhao Liying's salary is 300 million...

Ten times worse...

Don't be unconvinced, Zhao Liying is only at the stage of gaining some fame, she's still leveling up...

15 per episode...that's in line with her status!
Moreover, do you know how many young ladies would pay to act opposite Shen Yan?
This is Shen Yan, his latest idol drama after "My Love from the Star"...

"My Love from the Star" made Jing Tian the most popular female star of 2013.

This completely shed the labels of "resource-backed actor" and "Warring States" that were attached to him!

Even the popularity of "Police Story 2013" was much higher than in the original timeline...

Oh, the box office results for the Lunar New Year film season are basically set. "Personal Tailor" is currently in first place with 6.65 million yuan; "Northeast Love" is in second place with 6.04 million yuan; and then there's "Police Story 2013," which has a current box office of 5.58 million yuan…

On January 7th, "Ender's Game" was released, followed by "The Brink" and "Boonie Bears: The Big Adventure"...

That's right, the first installment of the Spring Festival film series "Boonie Bears" has been born—the first theatrical film, with the mysterious girl Dudu sparking a battle to protect the forest!
Every year during the Spring Festival season, a plethora of new films are released, leaving audiences overwhelmed with choices.

But just by looking at the box office, you can tell which movies are truly good and which are just "bluffing".

The benchmark for measuring this strength is "Boonie Bears". Any work that can surpass it at the box office must be a masterpiece with real talent; if you can't even beat it, then you need to seriously reflect on your work.

But to be honest, the first few movies were better. The later sci-fi quintet had characters that looked different, so they're harder to evaluate...

"The Treasure Hunt" and "Snowy Mountain Bear" are so damn good, they're not like animated films at all!
……

"The outfit was inspired by Jo In-sung in 'That Winter, the Wind Blows'... a suit and overcoat style. I'm 185cm tall, so I can pull it off!"

"We don't need to wear suits all the time; let's design more casual wear..."

Shen Yan and Huang Wei started chatting about clothing...

Huang Wei was the costume designer for "My Love from the Star".

He paused for a moment, then added, "Try to make Xue Shanshan's outfits look like those on Taobao, since she's a white-collar worker and a recent college graduate, she doesn't have much money!"

"...This is the styling design we did!"

Shen Yan glanced at it and couldn't help but complain, "Wow, those eyebrows are way too thick, like Crayon Shin-chan's?"

"...We think it's cute!"

"...Zhao Liying has no objections?"

"she…"

"By the way, where is Zhao Liying?"

"I heard they're filming a movie there..."

"Huh? What kind of movie are you filming?"

"...It seems to be called something like 'Hua Xu Yin,' she's going to make a cameo appearance..."
