Chapter 541 Tips (44)

In most idol dramas, the first episode features the domineering CEO making his appearance...

First, they film the car, then the subordinate opens the car door, followed by the shoes on the ground, then they zoom in from bottom to top, long shot, close-up... a super close-up!

Shan Minghao from "The Prince Who Turns into a Frog" did just that.

The first episode of "Boss & Me" is almost over...

The only difference is that the photo shows Feng Teng attending a party...

Then a group of people started talking about Feng Teng's Tengfeng Group.

"Feng Teng, chairman of Tengfeng Group, I heard he took over the group at the age of 25. After taking office, the group's business expanded rapidly by 300%, and profits increased fivefold! He was therefore ranked number one on Forbes' list of most promising young CEOs..."

"Both her figure and her looks are impeccable!"

"They truly have everything!"

"I heard that his parents died early, and he has a withdrawn personality, refusing to let women touch him!"

"...That's normal. How could a man like him just casually have sex with women?"

"What a waste! If I had those conditions, I'd be a groom every day!"

"So, he's a CEO, and you're just a rich kid!"

"So what if I'm a rich kid? I'm a rich kid, but I don't start my own business. My dad said that as long as I don't start a business or mess around, he'll give me a seven-figure allowance every year!"

As we were chatting, Shen Yan walked over...

A group of people immediately stood up: "President Feng!"

"...Hello..."

Feng Teng greeted them and then went upstairs…

Upstairs is a place where a group of big shots hold secret meetings...

"Click..."

Sha Weiqi stood up from behind the monitor: "Great, thank you, teachers!"

Oh, the four people who said the lines were all cameos—it was Zhao Liying who mobilized her connections; Hengdian is full of film crews.

Ding Zijun, Qiao Renliang, Tao Haojing, and Ma Ke.

They were all friends Zhao Liying had met while filming.

Shen Yan could certainly find a group of guest stars, and he could guarantee that they would be much more famous and popular.

But it's not necessary...

It's good that Zhao Liying went to invite him—the show is called "Boss & Me," and if we're talking about billing order, Zhao Liying is the lead actress, while Shen Yan is only the second lead…

……

Shen Yan's actions constitute ceding power!

After all, "Boss & Me" is clearly a female-centric drama, judging from the title alone...

Of course, if Shen Yan wanted to snatch it, he would definitely be able to!

There's no need for that!
He doesn't lack those achievements...

But Zhao Liying really needs it.

Many people say that vying for top billing is the exclusive domain of celebrities with high online popularity…

No, that's not true. The essence of any social circle is simply competing for fame and fortune.

Fighting for top billing is in the nature of celebrities and actors; it has always been this way. During the Republican era, several great Peking Opera artists fought tooth and nail over it.

If we have to pinpoint the origin of the modern era, look at the poster for "The Forbidden Kingdom," featuring Jackie Chan and Lee Lianjie.

This includes Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen fighting to the point that people across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong collectively chose sides.

Among the actresses who are still active today, the earliest one to fight for top billing in "Painted Skin" was the one who took sides.

It's just that the forms are constantly changing.

Later, the main focus of the entertainment industry shifted to the fan economy, so the products launched by the entertainment industry were based on the artists themselves, rather than the films and television dramas.

A film or television production is like a cake; the lead actor gets the biggest share, the second lead gets the second biggest share, and so on.

Just look at the performance charts of those celebrities—their achievements as lead actors are clearly shown, as are those as third-lead or higher actors, etc. The commercial value corresponding to lead and second-lead roles is different…and it's directly related to the artist's own interests…

When you talk to the platform, you really need to have some achievements to back you up!
However, there was one thing Shen Yan couldn't understand: it was understandable for male and female leads to compete for top billing in the past, since the value of an award for leading role and a supporting role is much lower!

But I don't understand, what's there for the male and female leads to fight over? If they win an award, they're both the lead actors; if the film flops, they can't escape responsibility either way!
In many dramas that are clearly female-centric, male actors still insist on fighting for lead role...

Fans went to great lengths to fight over it...

I can't figure it out!

The daily battles between the male and female lead's fans over billing order are driving me crazy.

If you're so capable, why don't you play both the male and female leads in one role?
……

"As of June 2014, the number of mobile internet users in my country reached 5.27 million, surpassing the number of traditional PC internet users for the first time!"

At the same time, 4G services were officially commercialized, and operators increased their investment in 4G network construction. The arrival of 4G led to a surge in applications suitable for high-bandwidth mobile networks, such as high-definition video conferencing, mobile games, and 3D navigation, and spurred a wave of innovation among internet companies.

"We must transform; traditional industries..."

Feng Teng delivered a speech…

Actually, Shen Yan never really understood what Fengteng Group did!

It just mentioned a domineering CEO...

After discussing it with Sha Weiqi, Shen Yan decided to give Fengteng Group a business opportunity—smart home + Internet of Things.

Why these two businesses?

Because…I heard these two are in the spotlight…

Moreover, few people understand this.

Then several familiar veteran actors—Yue Yueli, Kou Zhenhai, and Tang Zhenzong—started praising the actors.

Phrases like, "This is your era now," "We used to run businesses on orders; we did as many jobs as we got," and "Now you need to choose things with a good design..."

Oh, Fengteng is planning to integrate with other companies in the industry to jointly build a logistics network…

These are meant to showcase his business acumen…

"Click..."

Sha Weiqi glanced at the monitor and nodded, "This part is done, thank you teachers... and thank you Brother Yan too!"

"I mainly want to thank the teachers..."

Shen Yan took over the conversation and thanked the actors…

Oh, they were all just cameo appearances, only one scene each…

That's it, Shen Yan's scenes for today are over!
"Are we filming Xue Shanshan's scenes today?"

"Hmm... I'll film her discussing joining Fengteng with her roommate..."

Shen Yan nodded, then seemed to remember something: "You didn't rent a show flat, did you?"

"How can it be!"

Sha Weiqi shook her head: "The model apartment was too big. I just rented a two-bedroom apartment in XX neighborhood and built one based on the layout..."

"That's good. Just don't make it too luxurious. Xue Shanshan has just graduated from university and can't afford the rent!"

Sha Weiqi nodded immediately: "I understand!"

Oh, the story of "Boss & Me" takes place in Suzhou...

Logically speaking, many scenes need to be filmed in Suzhou, which would be troublesome. So we simply built Xue Shanshan's dormitory and Feng Teng's house in Hengdian. As for Feng Teng Group and the workplace scenes, we need to go to Suzhou to film them!
The Buynow Technology Building, a filming location for high-end offices, is where the offices of Fengteng Group are located.

The actual filming doesn't need to be too complicated. We can just build an indoor set and shoot the outdoor scenes later!
"...According to the settings, how much is Xue Shanshan's monthly salary?"

"5000 during internship, 10000 after becoming a full-time employee..."

"Do you know how much the rent plus utilities for a two-bedroom apartment costs per month?"

"...I asked, and they said it's between 2500 and 3000...She shares an apartment with her roommate, so it's 500 each, which is 1500..."

Shen Yan nodded: "Fixed expenses like food, clothes, cosmetics, and snacks will cost at least 3000 yuan a month, which is equivalent to living paycheck to paycheck... You must remember this: never spend 5000 yuan a month and send 2000 yuan home, or buy a pair of shoes that cost 6800 yuan on a whim!"

Sha Weiqi couldn't help but laugh: "How could that be? What kind of director is so stupid that he can't even do this simple math?"
