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

Chapter 647 Serious? (33)

Film is a very special thing, and after "Burning," Shen Yan felt that way...

In the first few days after returning to China, he met with a bunch of high-ranking officials, including ministers…

Once "The Martian" was completed, it was immediately sent to the sea for them to see...

Shen Yan and Guo Fan accompanied the entire process, serving as commentators.

Actually, Shen Yan sometimes worries because with the changes in the film and television business, things will be difficult for him...

The so-called transformation of the film and television industry refers to the entry of the internet into the film and television circle.

They can spend tens of billions a year with a wave of their hand; we simply can't compare!
In the past, the film and television industry was basically all about connections. If you had connections, I would let you invest...

I stopped doing that later...

The film and television industry is entering a downturn!

You really can't raise money without relying on internet companies.

However, after "American Dreams in China," Shen Yan felt confident...

—You can be a director too!
Moreover, he now wields considerable power. Films like "Sheep Without a Shepherd 2" and "The Big Shot 2" are very daring in their subject matter. Normally, if someone were to make such a film, the censors wouldn't approve it, but when Shen Yan submitted it for review, it passed!

This is also one of his advantages…

As I said before, the film industry is booming!

Investing in movies now is like investing in real estate a decade or so ago.

On average, a merger or acquisition occurs every six days.

This year, there were 169 mergers and acquisitions in the cultural and media industry in China, including sub-sectors such as film and television, games, advertising, publishing, cable and satellite television, involving a total capital of approximately 1605 billion yuan.

On a monthly basis, mergers and acquisitions were particularly active in August and December, with 22 and 19 deals respectively.

"Pig farmers, steelmakers, fireworks sellers, and vegetable vendors are all acquiring film and television companies." This was a popular saying in the investment world at the beginning of this year.

At that time, companies outside the film and television industry, such as Xiang'eqing (later renamed Zhongke Yunwang), Panda Fireworks, and Zhongnan Heavy Industry, successively announced cross-industry film and television mergers and acquisitions. For a time, film and television companies almost became the "lifeline" for the transformation of traditional industries. All listed companies whose original business was declining unanimously extended olive branches to film and television companies, hoping to inject fresh blood into their companies by taking advantage of the halo of the rapid growth of the film and television industry.

is that useful?
It really works!

The cultural industry is receiving a series of positive developments, especially with the new government frequently issuing major favorable policies for the cultural sector. This has convinced the market that the spring for the cultural industry has only just begun. For example, only one of the 61 listed companies suffered a loss this year!
Spark Studio is sought after by a number of film and television companies, but now Huayi Brothers and Enlight Media can no longer afford the price!
Ali and Tencent have offered 5 million and 8 million respectively to invest in Spark Studio…

Companies like Kuailu Group and Yuanshidong Film & Television have been trying to establish a connection with him...

But Shen Yan completely ignored them...

They're too lazy to even show their faces...

No rush, let's talk about it next year!
By the way, Wanda isn't very interested in Spark Studio—Old Wang's target is Hollywood companies!
Rumor has it that Wang's initial target was Paramount, and they were almost finalized when Paramount's major shareholder, Sumner Redstone, backed out...

That's probably true. Old Wang once said, "Only the Hollywood Big Six are truly global film companies; the others aren't. If we want to build a true film empire, (acquisitions) are a necessary step."

……

"Sister Lily!"

"...Hello, Best Actor!"

"What?"

Shen Yan didn't react for a moment, so Bai Baihe explained, "Aren't you the Venice Film Festival Best Actor?"

"...What's so special about this?" Shen Yan waved his hand, then casually asked, "Has the reshoots for 'Monster Hunt' started yet?"

"Okay, let's continue next month..."

How was Li Xian's performance?

Bai Baihe nodded: "...It's alright, just a bit dull...which is perfect for Tianyin who needs to be stunned!"

"You should teach him more; he doesn't have much experience..."

"I don't have much experience either..."

"But you've already filmed it once before!"

“…Okay…” Bai Baihe remembered something: “I read the script, isn’t Haifei in jail abroad?” Shen Yan casually replied: “You can fill in the details yourself. I didn’t think that much when I was setting it up, but it’s highly likely she’s in jail…”

"So Haifei ended up with the third sister?"

"Hmm... Think about it, Third Sister is a single mother with a daughter, works in the funeral industry, and has a criminal record, so it's basically very difficult for her to find a suitable wife. She has almost no chance in the marriage market. Marrying Haifei is a good choice! Moreover, it can avoid other potential problems in the plot."

"Hidden dangers?"

"My third sister is 28 years old, and Xiaowen is 7 years old. Nobody says anything about their relationship. But what if it's another ten years? Are they father and daughter or something else?"

Bai Baihe nodded... then asked, "Then why didn't you film it?"

"No need to film the rest; let the audience interpret it themselves!"

Haifei had to appear—from the perspective of Xiaowen and Sanmei's emotional development, a stimulus was needed. Xiaowen's way of addressing Sanmei was inconsistent: Third Brother, Third Sister, Old Third… because their acquaintance began in a state of confusion. And Sanmei was truly unserious. Therefore, Xiaowen treated Sanmei as a friend, a brother…

After spending three days alone, Xiaowen told her third sister: "Although I can't see my grandma anymore, I'm not afraid because I have my dad."

The biggest obstacle for Third Brother's feelings for Xiaowen is the blood relation.

He can overcome the trust barrier between them through various interactions, and by chance, he overcomes the legal barrier between Xiaowen and the adoptive parents.

But this blood relation is something he can't escape no matter what...

Haifei makes her appearance, triggering an exciting plot!

By the way, regarding this version of the plot, Third Sister discussed it with Jianren and Baixue...

Otherwise, like in the original version, where the character makes all the decisions and sends Xiaowen away on his own, the character doesn't grow at all!
……

After Bai Baihe joined the crew, the production team prioritized filming her scenes—she only had one week, and after that, she had to return to the "Monster Hunt" crew to continue filming the unfinished scenes!
One good thing is that, judging from the plot, Xiaowen and Haifei haven't established a relationship yet...

In other words, she doesn't need to cultivate a good relationship with Wang Shengdi.

Four scenes are still quite simple for Bai Baihe…

However, whether she did it on purpose or not, she kept seeking out Shen Yan to discuss characters…

At first, Shen Yan patiently tried to talk to her properly.

Actually, the phytoestro is just a stimulating prop.

It was used as a catalyst to accelerate the transformation of the relationship between the third sister and Xiaowen.

Even without Haifei, there's still Auntie...

But Bai Baihe must do her homework—the character's background, experiences, and even their logic…

Never mind, she's discussing it with Shen Yan on set anyway.

It's probably not something they want to do!

Here we go again…

"The plot has already been explained very clearly... He made a mistake when he was young..."

After a pause, Shen Yan thought for a moment: "How about adding some traces of mistakes made when I was young?"

Bai Baihe asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Shen Yan called over Han Yan: "How about we get Haifei a full-sleeve tattoo?"

"A full sleeve tattoo?"

"Tattoo!"

Han Yan immediately understood what Shen Yan meant: "Forget the full-sleeve tattoo, how about getting a rose tattooed on your chest?"

Is there any particular reason for this?

"I don't know, but I've seen several... the masseuses all have rose tattoos on their chests..."

"Is that a rose?"
