Chapter 585 Character Analysis (23)

In fact, Shen Yan often receives very tempting messages, such as emails, text messages, and WeChat messages...

Even during filming, we encountered many young and beautiful girls offering themselves as bed partners!

Of course, Shen Yan would definitely refuse!

This kind of thing is actually quite normal.

Many fans, especially female fans, develop a kind of obsessive belief that their idol is their lover and that the moment they make eye contact, their idol will definitely recognize them.

For example, Yang Lijuan is a case in point. Incidentally, she also brainwashed her parents, making them believe her. Then, recognizing Liu Dehua became the only way to improve the Yang family's life...

This is also the driving force behind Yang's father's decision to sell the house and then his kidney.

Otherwise, if it were just about idol worship, the father wouldn't have had to sell the house!

What makes this case so unusual is that her parents also believed this claim…

However, as the fandom progressed, the family realized how absurd it was, but the sunk costs were too high—dropping out of school, selling their house, and going bankrupt. It was a state of mind where they were filled with immense regret but still held onto a sliver of hope.

Everything is gone, there's no going back, all I can do is continue to deceive myself and keep dreaming.

It's like fake orders.

The scam of offering rebates for fake orders, which exploits the sunk cost effect, will actually fool a lot of people!

Especially when hiring shills to pretend to be people...

Even though I already have some doubts, I will still continue!
Back to Yang Lijuan…

This sentiment was inevitably transferred to Andy Lau – he couldn't very well admit that he was the one who was foolish, could he?

Although Mr. Yang had long since come to his senses that Andy Lau would never marry his daughter and that his family could not rely on this wealth and status, he still believed that Andy Lau was responsible for everything and should compensate them for their losses over the years. Therefore, he took the initiative to contact the media and portrayed the incident as a case of fangirling, hoping to obtain some compensation.

Then, Andy Lau's team must have found out the truth, which is why they were unwilling to open up this avenue.

There are so many people like this in China, what if they imitate them? Do they all just pay to settle things? That's why they only responded after Yang's father committed suicide and the matter escalated to a higher level…

It is said that he also received some money.

Of course, this is also Andy Lau's fault. Who told him to keep claiming that he was single? Naturally, female fans would imagine themselves as their soulmate!
Shen Yan learned his lesson and never tries to portray himself as single. Even in public interviews, he says he doesn't lack women and has a girlfriend...

But not saying who it is... can be considered as preserving the last bit of what an idol should be!

People in the industry may understand, but that doesn't mean they care—cheating isn't a big deal, let alone the fact that Shen Yan is still unmarried…

When "Burning" was first conceived, a bunch of agents and agencies inquired about the show. Even after Ji Xiang said the female lead had already been cast, they still wanted to insert someone else...

Contact Shen Yan through various channels…

In other words, Yan Ge is wary of women. If he were even slightly normal, he would have already compiled a collection of actresses born in the 85s and 90s!
However, he quite likes Dilraba...

The young girl has been in the industry for three years, and Shen Yan gave her his approval in her very first year.

He's one of his people...

But she maintained a good sense of distance, only sending him greetings during holidays and not contacting him proactively most of the time.

That's good...

She knows what she's doing, and she leaves when she needs to, without clinging on. Everyone's better off that way. If a heart-to-heart talk means a lifetime commitment, how can we be friends? There are naive women every day who think they can win the whole world over, but thankfully, she's not that naive.

……

"I don't want to participate in variety shows... I just want to focus on acting!"

Leaning against Shen Yan's lap, she began to complain about the manager's arrangements...

Shen Yan was speechless: "I arranged the work for 'Running Man'!"

"Huh? Why?"

“Ensuring exposure… The biggest advantage of variety shows is their quick release and relatively stable quality. In contrast, film and television projects vary greatly in quality. Some projects are so bad that they don't even need to be aired. Making a lot of bad dramas is useless; it only damages the actors themselves.” Shen Yan gave an example: “Look, you're filming for at least four months at a time, disappearing from the public eye during those four months. And after filming, you have to wait six months or a year, or even for the show to be banned and never air… What do you do then?” Dilraba nodded, then asked, “But I can't tell jokes… I don't have any inside jokes!”

"It's okay, it's a reality show, it's not just about whether you can tell jokes... Zhang Liang and Tian Liang weren't exactly funny when 'Where Are We Going, Dad?' became a huge hit!"

"I've watched a few episodes of 'Running Man,' and the name tag ripping game seems really intense..."

"Yes, you can call 'Running Man' a celebrity version of 'Brave and Smart Challenge'. Tearing name tags is actually a kind of fighting, but TV shows can't have direct fighting, so they use name tag ripping!"

"How am I supposed to outmaneuver Brother Wu Jing?"

"You can use your brain! You can act cute and charming, then catch him off guard and tear him apart!"

Dilraba thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay then..."

"Running Man is definitely going to be a phenomenal variety show, so you should exercise more and build up your physical strength..."

"I have great stamina!"

"So you couldn't ride for more than ten minutes?"

"...My legs are weak...I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Dilraba rolled her eyes at him, turned over, and prepared to sleep. Shen Yan smiled, then simply opened his tablet and studied Jang Jong-soo…

The protagonist of "Burning" is told from his perspective throughout the entire film...

He has a dream of becoming a novelist—corresponding to Nolan's debut novel, *Following*, where the protagonist also dreams of being a writer—every unemployed young person has a dream of becoming a writer.

But after graduating from university, due to various reasons, he could only make a living by doing odd jobs, such as working as a deliveryman...

Such a person has no plans for the future and feels hopeless about life…

Although they may appear neat and hopeful from behind, they always seem foolish, decadent, and sleazy from the front.

Born into a small-town family known for its test-taking prodigies, his father was in prison…

It basically ruined all his future prospects...

The only thing that shone in his world was Hye-mi, but her existence was fleeting…

Because Huimei met the rich man Ben.

If it weren't for his ex-girlfriend Hye-mi being in the middle, Jong-soo would probably only feel envy towards someone like Ben, without any jealousy. But unfortunately, Ben is the wealthy man who stole his first love, so his envy is mixed with a hint of bitterness, resentment, and jealousy...

Then, a touch of curiosity arose.

Zhongxiu had mixed feelings when facing Benshi.

There must have been some spying intent among them!
Therefore, Jong-soo attends the organization's gatherings time and time again, and when he sees Hye-mi being made a fool of like a monkey, he feels disgusted and angry, but his inferiority complex prevents him from standing up and pulling Hye-mi away...

This person's outward appearance is dull, rigid, and even a bit sleazy!

Dilraba turned her head and saw Shen Yan deep in thought: "What are you doing?"

"Analyzing the characters..."

"You're only now analyzing the characters?"

"What's wrong? The filming isn't until tomorrow!"

"Aren't you the director and screenwriter? You should know the characters better!"

Shen Yan casually explained, "Understanding is one thing, but how to actually perform it requires some work."

"...Shall I dance for you?"

"What?"
