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

Chapter 554 Returning to the Film Crew (14)

As a comedian, Shen Teng's personal charm outweighs his acting skills!

However, some of the variety shows and reality shows he participated in at the beginning of his career were quite harmful to him in a sense.

—They say he's lazy, all he does is talk and no action. He has the air of an old man; he'd rather lie down than sit, and rather sit than stand.

His participation in "My Son-in-Law Is Here" was criticized, "The Journey of Flowers" was criticized, and "Let's Go Through Time" was criticized again and again, especially in comparison to other guests.

Shen Teng showed his true self in the reality show, but his undisguised flaws were magnified by the camera, which many people found unacceptable.

He was accepted by the public mainly thanks to Teng Fei in the film industry and "The Ace"!
In the variety show "Ace vs Ace," winning doesn't increase the appearance fee by a penny, and losing doesn't decrease it by a penny. Safety comes first; there's no need to risk your life. The most important thing is to entertain the audience.

Shen Teng has started to let loose, putting in a lot of effort to entertain the audience, even going so far as to "rip" his pants...

But right now... I always feel like he's just pretending to be profound!

He deliberately put on a cool and serious demeanor!

I guess people who do comedy should maintain a serious demeanor...

After all, great comedians are serious and dedicated in private—only by being calm and introverted enough in life can they discover the joy of life, express it, and become excellent comedians!
But Shen Teng is clearly not a serious person...

Why are you pretending to be so profound when you're from Northeast China?

But he's really quite arrogant right now...

I always thought of myself as an artist…

There's no way around it, he'll have to figure it out himself!
He's really not suitable for "Running Man"...

After all, the intensity of the first few seasons of "Running Man" was quite outrageous, and the games were very demanding. Without a certain level of stamina, you couldn't handle it.
Oh, he turned down the invitation from "Running Man"...

Because Shen Yan said, "This show must be quite tiring!"

……

On the plane, Zhao Liying asked him, "What is 'Running Man'?"

"A celebrity reality show...like 'Where Are We Going, Dad?', it's an outdoor reality show..."

"Also from South Korea?"

"Yeah, the Korean version is called 'Running Man,' with 7 hosts, 6 men and 1 woman...it's pretty interesting!"

"...Is that so?"

Zhao Liying nodded, about to ask something else, when Shen Yan interrupted her: "Go back, I'll send you a website, you can watch a few episodes and you'll know... Go to sleep!"

Regarding the guests for "Running Man," Shen Yan discussed it with President Xia, and it seems they decided not to invite Bao Qiang after all…

Actually, Baoqiang isn't really suitable for "Running Man".

The show's producers labeled him a traitor!
However, judging from his performance in the first season, he was not suitable for this type of program.

Deng Chao, Chen He, Wu Jing, Sha Yi, Yang Di, Dilraba, one more is missing.

If you can find someone who can produce good results, Song Xiaobao would actually work too!

As for Li Chen and Zheng Kai…

These two are absolutely no entertainment value!

As for Tianbao…

Shen Yan couldn't possibly let go of the opportunity to become a sensation...

Actually, the most difficult person to deal with among these people is Deng Chao!
It's not that he's unwilling to appear in reality shows; he's just very busy. After "Brotherhood of Blades," he directed and starred in "The Magic Hour." Besides that, Shen Yan also plans to cast him in "Operation Mekong"...

I might not be able to find the time to appear on a reality show!

But apart from Deng Chao, Shen Yan couldn't think of anyone else with the charisma and willingness to entertain the masses...

If all else fails, let him work a little harder; after all, it's only one episode recorded per week!
……

The crew of "Boss & Me" stopped filming for ten days, specifically to wait for Shen Yan and Zhao Liying!
Generally speaking, film crews would never stop filming just for actors—the rental periods for sets, props, and equipment are all fixed, and a single day's delay would cost six figures… But this is a drama starring Shen Yan.

From the production company to the directing team, including the production crew, no one had any objections…

—At worst, we can just add some money and sell it to the TV station!
Moreover, "Duckweed" is a blockbuster, which greatly benefits the actors.

Especially Zhao Liying…

She's about to become a billion-dollar box office heroine!

Based on the data, the film "Duckweed" could at least double Zhao Liying's salary.

In comparison, the production team actually came out ahead.

Upon arriving at the film set, Shen Yan quickly got into character, switching into his domineering CEO mode the very next day…

Of course, the main reason is that it's easier to play a domineering CEO.

In contrast, Xiao Zhao's emotions were somewhat fluctuating...

It's normal. Even if she tries her best to cover it up and never mentions the billion-dollar box office heroine, many things don't just pass by if you don't talk about them.

You'll subconsciously think about this.

Even if I don't become arrogant, I'll still have higher expectations of myself...

But "Boss & Me" is just an idol drama, and the most important thing about idol dramas is a relaxed atmosphere.

Once an actor sets high standards for themselves, their sense of relaxation disappears…

Especially those whose acting skills haven't reached a level of perfection!
So, we had to do many takes...

Shen Yan wasn't in a hurry, since filming for "Boss & Me" wouldn't wrap up until mid-March anyway...

He was discussing Shaviki's movie with Shaviki.

Oh, Sha Weiqi is preparing to shoot a coming-of-age film. The script is already written, called "Summer Breeze and Cicada Song," a standard coming-of-age film, starting with a relationship in high school, then progressing through university and work, and finally breaking up...

I took a look at the script…

Good grief, first kiss, cheating, abortion, love triangle, this is such a cliché!
Shen Yan frowned as he offered his opinion: "...Since it has a sad ending, why not call it 'Your Wedding'?"

"wedding?"

"Yes, teenage love, after a decade of adjustment, from heartbreak and arguments to the pain of losing love and falling in love again, is constantly entangled, but in the end it still can't withstand reality! But we can still say goodbye to the past properly! A passionate love certainly ignites a climax, but lingering feelings are also sad, and calmness and composure are rare signs of maturity."

"...What about the character design?"

The male lead is a sports student, and the female lead comes from a single-parent family…

Sha Weiqi immediately pressed further: "Single-parent family?"

“It’s not discrimination, but statistically speaking, people who come from single-parent families are more likely to experience difficulties in their family of origin!” After a pause, Shen Yan continued, “The male protagonist comes from a small county town. Their breakup was more due to the combination of several factors, such as differences in their upbringing and career anxieties. Don’t attribute everything to abortion!”

"Hmm..." Shaweiqi nodded: "Do you have any suggestions for the male and female leads?"

"For the female lead... you could use Zhao Liying, she's quite popular with the audience. For the male lead... he needs to have a gentle and handsome smile... or, I'll ask Brother Hu for you?"

“Xiao Zhao is fine, but Brother Hu…” Sha Weiqi scratched his head, “I feel he’s a bit too refined…”

“That’s true…” Shen Yan waved his hand: “Then you can choose for yourself…and discuss it with Lao Guo!”

"Um…"

Sha Weiqi nodded and continued, "Brother Yan, I feel like Sister Zhao isn't acting a bit right. Do you want to talk to her?"

Shen Yan was speechless: "...You're the director, aren't you going to talk to her?"

"But she was the one who recommended her for the role..."

“Alright,” Shen Yan nodded, “I’ll go talk to her…”
