Live stream over…

Looking at the backend data, the average number of concurrent users is 600 million, with a peak of 1300 million. The retention rate is decent, close to 48%...

The number of comments has exceeded 100 million!

As for tipping... Shen Yan turned off the tipping function.

—I don't even care about these paltry sums!
Overall, it felt pretty good.

Shen Yan is a talkative person by nature...

Moreover, there are many things he has always wanted to express, but he hasn't been able to find a suitable opportunity, such as his "views on the ban on disgraced artists".

A bunch of 'rational and objective' people are saying: Leave the legal stuff to the legal system, and let the market handle the market...

That's how we've always done it, and then what?

They even asked why he couldn't make a comeback.

Damn it, I'm speechless. There are many jobs, does it have to be acting? Are you forbidden from working in a factory? Are you forbidden from supporting yourself through labor?

Why do people insist on continuing to be public figures to make money?

It's very free; you can say whatever you want...

Of course, he was very restrained and didn't say a single word he shouldn't have...

When asked to comment on Fan Xiaopang and Wang Sicong in the comments section, he remained silent.

There are some things he himself doesn't understand.

As for Wang Sicong... Shen Yan really doesn't know him!

We chatted like old friends the whole time, without any awkwardness...

Shen Yan received a call from Ji Xiang: "I feel it's going well, the fans are quite active, we can continue... It's both a way to promote our work and a way to control public opinion anytime, anywhere..."

"Controlling public opinion?"

"I can find out what's happening in the industry immediately... or rather, I understand public opinion!"

"...Shall we sign a contract with Douyu?"

"Let's not sign it. I'll just stream on his platform... I can leave anytime I want to stream on another platform..."

"There's some feedback from Weibo; they have a live streaming service called YiZhibo!"

"Yizhibo doesn't have much popularity, few registered users, and low daily active users..."

Yizhibo is essentially a short video platform. This year, the Ice Bucket Challenge became a viral sensation online, and recently, Sina Weibo invested $5000 million in Yixia Technology's Series C funding round.
But to be honest, Weibo's daily and monthly active users are declining...

Their vitality is not what it used to be!

Shen Yan didn't have a very good impression of the Weibo platform itself...

Too domineering!

"Judging from their attitude... I'm not planning to make live streaming a major business for the time being..."

"Burning... I'll hold a press conference when I get back to China!"

"By the way, I've already bought the original work by Bi Yu that you asked me to find."

""traitor"?"

"Oh...I also bought 'Rouge' while I was at it..."

"Whatever..." Shen Yan didn't seem to care much. "Could you contact the Daylight Entertainment team for me and see if they're interested in directing? Just say I'm the lead actor!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiang immediately said, "Then they'll definitely be interested!"

"That's not necessarily true, they have a lot of business!"

"Brother, you're the Venice Film Festival Best Actor!"

"OK..."

I almost forgot…

Shen Yan is a genuine Venice Film Festival Best Actor winner, and his popularity is ridiculously high... Any role he wants to play is definitely the first choice for major directors and film companies!

"The Rebel" and "Rouge" are both novellas, based on the original work by Bi Yu. The collection includes four stories: "The Rebel," "The Postman," "Potassium Cyanide," and "Rouge."

"The Postman" is too much of an ensemble piece, while "Potassium Chloride" focuses too much on romance...

"Rouge"... Zhao Liying starred in it, and she completely turned a spy drama into an idol drama!

It's not just idol dramas; the visuals are brightly colored and exaggerated...

This effectively ended Zhao Liying's ratings phenomenon—in those years, there were hits like "Boss & Me," "The Journey of Flower," "Rookie Agent Rouge," and "Princess Agents"...

……

Orlando Disney World…

The overall experience wasn't great; of the four theme parks, only the Magic Kingdom was decent.

Others include Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, and Epcot…

It's really not good!

Especially Epcot, which is said to have many buildings with different national styles, is actually just a large shopping and dining center housed in buildings of different national styles. Moreover, it's impossible to get a reservation at any of the slightly better restaurants...

I couldn't bear to eat that terrible Chinese food with Shishi...

Animal Kingdom is just an ordinary zoo; it can't compare to Chimelong.

As for Hollywood Studios, once inside, the facilities were few and outdated, and all you could watch were shows and various "old" movies. It was incredibly boring; they might as well just rename it Hollywood Cinema…

The food at the themed restaurant was absolutely awful!
The Cinderella-themed restaurant costs around $300 for two people, and the consensus is: the food is absolutely terrible! The ambiance is also very basic.

In fact, $300 can buy a very good meal at many high-end restaurants in the United States.

This made Shishi quite unhappy...

However, after that, we went to the water park, and it was pretty good!

After five days of fun, Shen Yan took Shi Shi to New York to discuss future development plans with the members of A24…

……

Here's the thing: the film *Burning* grossed over 4 million yuan at the mainland box office, shocking several executives at A24…

An art-house film surprisingly grossed over $6000 million at the box office!
They gained a new understanding of Shen Yan's influence in China!
This is even more Quentin Tarantino than David Fincher.

Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" only grossed $5500 million at the North American box office;
David Fincher is not a purely commercial film director; films like "Panic Room," "Fight Club," "Zodiac," and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" were not commercially successful.
But Shen Yan's four films, "American Dreams in China" and "Duckweed", all grossed over $200 million at the box office... "Fame and Fortune" also grossed $130 million at the Chinese box office.

A few people at A24 are considering whether to make a few movies that cater to Chinese audiences…

"When I invested in A24, I felt that Hollywood, being globalized, was producing mostly mindless movies, and audiences needed R-rated films... What I saw was a risky approach with broad market prospects. You want to make movies that suit the Chinese market, can you compete with Disney?"

Shen Yan showed no mercy and started cursing.

"Furthermore, this year's works such as 'Nemesis' and 'Locke' have also garnered widespread recognition in the industry..."

"Feud," directed by Denis Villeneuve, is an R-rated drama film that grossed only $350 million at the North American box office.
"Rock," directed by Steven Knight, also grossed $300 million at the North American box office...

Both of these films were picked up by A24 from film festivals…

It has a very good reputation!
I didn't make much money...

A24 manager Daniel Katz said, "But we can't always rely on the Purge series to make money..."

"A Quiet Place...you didn't make it?"

"It's already done, and it's scheduled for release in October!"

Shen Yan thought for a moment, then said, "We could try making a few R-rated action films... I'll put in a bit of work and see if they can be released in China!"

"An action movie?"

"Yeah, like 'John Wick'..."

Shen Yan simply cited the example from "The Witch": "After a biological experiment, a girl escaped the experimental center and lived in anonymity. However, her good fortune didn't last long. Ten years later, when she had grown up, she was recognized by the villains watching on screen while participating in a public competition. Thus, the girl faced utter destruction..."

"The main point is the gore and cruelty..."
