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

Chapter 624 Dinner (24)

The trailer for The Martian has been released…

In the opening scene of the movie, Dafei is revealed to have been caught in a Martian dust storm and declared dead by the space agency…

At the next scene, Dafei says to the recording camera, "I'm not dead, but I'll be soon!"

Then came the predicament: Dafei had only limited water and food, and he had to find a way to survive on this red planet and restore communication with the outside world so that the other team members and the staff on Earth would know that he was still alive.

There are two versions of the trailer. One version is the original dedicated advertisement version, which is 30 seconds long.

That's all for now.

There is also a more detailed version.

While waiting, Dafei began to take action, repairing instruments, growing food, and continuously sending messages back to Earth to report on his survival status on Mars.

At the end of the trailer, Dafei says, "No matter what happens in the end, I want to tell the world and my family that I have never given up!"
Judging from the trailer alone, "The Martian" has a high production value. The concept design and CG are top-notch in China, and the art direction is also first-class.

The special effects are decent too!

With Shen Yan directing and Shen Teng starring, it's no exaggeration to say that they've already secured the box office champion for next year's Spring Festival!
Logically, with "The Martian" already a lock for the box office champion, other films aiming for similar box office success should avoid releasing in the same location...

Definitely not! A bunch of movies just had to stick to their guns!
From Vegas to Macau II, Where Are We Going, Dad? Season 2, Dad's Holiday, Dragon Blade, Wolf Totem, and another film, Somewhere Only We Know…

Now there's "Zhong Kui: Snow Girl and the Dark Crystal"...

Even Shen Yan himself was a little confused...

No, can't you see my box office results?

Just won three major awards at the Venice Film Festival…

I really don't understand what these people are thinking!
Fine, if you want to die, no one can stop you!
……

At 7 p.m., Shen Yan woke up, turned on his phone, and checked the missed calls…

If you have grandparents, call back immediately.

"I just woke up... What's wrong?"

"...Going to Changsha for promotion, what are you going to promote?"

"It's been half a month, and nobody really cares about it anymore. Wait until I win the Oscar, then I'll go back to Changsha for promotions..."

"...We'll go out to eat right away. Don't worry, I won't go hungry. Bye, Grandma!"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan lay on the bed for a long time, lost in thought, before finally getting up…

After getting dressed, Shen Yan was about to go out for some noodles when he decided to call Wu Jing. Wu Jing was having a barbecue with Wu Bai and Deng Chao. After getting the address, Shen Yan drove straight to the barbecue restaurant!
On the way, I made another phone call to my second aunt…

Well, my second aunt's situation is similar to my grandparents'; they've received a ton of invitations.

It just added Hunan TV & Broadcast Intermediary...

With the film market booming in the past two years, Hunan TV & Broadcast Intermediary also wants a piece of the pie. Rumors circulate that Hunan TV & Broadcast Intermediary has partnered with Lionsgate to launch a $15 billion co-production project…

Of course, it didn't happen in the end!
However, they still imported three films: *The Last Wizard Hunter*, *Gods of Egypt*, and *Wonder*.

They're all from Lionsgate.

Domestically, they have primarily participated in the co-production of numerous films, such as *Silent Witness*, *The House That Never Dies*, and *Girls*.

Later, when the film market cooled down, they stopped making those investments!

But now... the film market is booming.

There's no reason not to bet on it!
Shen Yan is a native of Changsha, and he has restored his relationship with Hunan TV—"Legend of Fei" will be exclusively broadcast on Hunan TV…

Including the upcoming dramas "Goodbye My Princess" and "Whirlwind Girl", as well as "The Imperial Coroner" and "The Flower Chef" starring Chen Yao, all of which will be broadcast on Hunan TV!
So Hunan Broadcasting System is considered one of our own.

Is there a chance for us to collaborate?
Shen Yan's reply was just one sentence: "Let's talk about it later, I still have to compete for an Oscar!" He specifically added, "Don't bring my mother into the picture, I have no memory of her!"

"Don't worry, things are different now..."

"...Who said that? Didn't CCTV's 'Waiting for Me' just start airing this year?"

"...Don't worry, I won't allow it!"

"Waiting for Me" is the variety show hosted by Ni Ping...

"Waiting for Me" is a program about finding relatives!
The intention was good—to help others find missing persons—but the content of the program was purely for attracting attention and boosting ratings.

Moreover, the fact of human trafficking was deliberately ignored in its implementation.

Shen Yan was quite worried that a woman would appear claiming to be his mother and wanting to reclaim her child…

I bet he'll go crazy!
……

Deng Chao recently did something incredibly embarrassing—three days ago, he went to the finale of "The Voice of China Season 3" and sang the theme song "Super Hero" from the variety show "Keep Running"...

Even Deng Chao, who was known for his outbursts, couldn't quite handle the scene!
His face turned bright red...

"I don't know what the production team was thinking, they actually arranged for me to promote 'The Voice of China,' and it was the finale, and they even made me sing..."

"You got a blow, didn't you?"

Deng Chaodao said, "When I sang, the entire audience was completely silent..."

"It's okay, everyone will thank you when 'Running Man' airs!"

Wu Jing also said, "I can't sing. If I could sing, I would go with you!"

Deng Chao asked curiously, "The passion is gone, Hua Chenyu is buried... You didn't sing this song?"

Shen Yan remained silent: "That's 'Who's the Hero?' sung by teacher Bian Liunian..."

Bian Liunian is the music director of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.

He created works such as "Who is the Hero?", "Happy Chinese New Year", and "The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains"...

"Golden Lion Award... How did it feel to receive the award?"

"Quite surprising!"

Shen Yan spoke frankly: "Because I had already won the Best Actor and Best Director awards... I didn't expect to win the Golden Lion!"

"You've won three awards, any thoughts?"

"I'm really happy!"

"Do you feel like you've finally redeemed yourself?"

Shen Yan chuckled: "A little!"

Wu Bai, who was drinking beer nearby, asked curiously: "To avenge this humiliation?"

Deng Chao: "He didn't win a single award at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, he must be unhappy!"

"Yeah, I am a little annoyed... but I don't care anymore now that I've won an award. Whether they give me an award or not, I've already made my mark in Chinese film history! Unless they don't acknowledge that 'Burning' is a Chinese-language film!"

"The Directors Guild would rather leave last year's Best Picture award vacant than give it to 'American Dreams in China'..."

"I am not a member of the China Film Directors Guild!"

Deng Chao asked in surprise, "They haven't joined yet?"

“No…” Shen Yan smiled: “It doesn’t matter. Does it mean I’m not a Chinese director if I don’t get their certification?”
