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

Chapter 664 Hengdian (14)

The highlights of the show "I See You Have Talent" are all about the judges!

Because there are no good trainees, even champion Li Yuanyuan, Li Liqun's daughter, has not acted in many commendable works.

However, Li Liqun has deep roots in Taiwan's Performance Workshop, whose core members include Stan Lai and Li Guoxiu. These people have close personal relationships with many famous directors. Therefore, Li Liqun starred in Edward Yang's "The Terrorizers" and Peng Qihua's "Rose, Rose, I Love You"...

Everyone knows Edward Yang. Peng Qihua is the director of Jet Tone Films and also Wong Kar-wai's go-to producer!

The network of connections is there.

However, this doesn't change the fact that "I See You Have Talent" is a very unsuccessful variety show...

Well... the only way to increase attention is for the judges to argue and bicker.

So far, all the news about this variety show going viral has revolved around disagreements, including "Jackie Chan and Feng Xiaogang clashed" and "Feng Xiaogang criticizes variety show movies!"

This is likely a deliberate attempt to create conflict between Feng Xiaogang and Shen Yan!
The fact that Shen Yan doesn't like Wu Fan will likely become a trending topic...

It doesn't make any sense...

This is a program that claims to 'help ordinary people become stars'...

In the end, a celebrity offspring was chosen as the champion!

By the way, Zhejiang TV also produced a variety show about celebrity offspring called "I'm Not a Star"—it put a bunch of aspiring celebrity children and has-been stars together in one show to stir things up…

……

After recording the variety show, Shen Yan had dinner with the deputy director of Zhejiang TV…

It's a little embarrassing—"Legend of Fei" didn't have good ratings, despite its online viewership exceeding 10 billion and a Douban score of over 8.9, being hailed as the best martial arts drama of the past decade…

However, the combined ratings for both channels were only 1.5…

The average viewership rating only barely broke 1...

Is it that the general public doesn't like martial arts novels?
Most likely... they didn't buy ratings, and then they were targeted!
Of course, the large number of competing shows airing at the same time was also a factor—"The Empress of China," "Young Doctor," and "Legend of Fragrance"...

The Empress of China achieved an average viewership rating of over 4!

An overwhelming force.

Although the number of online discussions and clicks far exceeded those of "The Empress of China"...

Fan Xiaopang is back in the TV series after five years, and he's already a top-tier actor!

Although the ratings for "Legend of Fei" did not meet expectations, advertising revenue was very good, and second and third run sales were also good, including overseas rights exports...

But its viewership ratings just can't compare to "The Empress of China".

Regardless, "Legend of Fei" lost its title as the king of dramas...

This is also the lowest-rated TV drama in Shen Yan's career...

Shen Yan was very unhappy and immediately declared, "Next year I will definitely make a good drama!"

"Is Zhejiang TV also joining the investment?"

"Can…"

"Modern dramas are preferred; there are too few period dramas!"

Shen Yan nodded: "...Okay! How about a spy drama?"

"Spy war?"

"Yes, 'The Rebel'... I bought the rights and plan to have Daylight Entertainment produce it..."

"no problem!"

Following "The Disguiser," idol dramas combined with spy thrillers have become a new trend...

Shen Yan is not just an idol, but an undisputed national idol!
Actually, Shen Yan would prefer to bring out dramas like "In the Name of the People" and "The Storm"...

But this thing needs to be regulated, and the censorship needs to be relaxed...

Why is Gao Qiqiang in "The Storm" so appealing?

Normally, TV dramas don't allow a villain to be portrayed like that!

Despite being a gang leader, Gao Qiqiang had no vices.

He doesn't dabble in drugs, gambling, or prostitution; he doesn't smoke or drink excessively; he enjoys reading; he lives a regular life; he's friendly; he's loyal to his wife; and he treats his two stepsons as his own… He's a good person!

Is this how you portray a villain in a normal film or television drama?
……

Filming of "The Imperial Doctress" is underway in Hengdian...

This drama was Shi Shi's last work with Tangren Media.

Next year, Shishi's ten-year contract will expire...

In fact, she is now more than just the top female star. Last year, Tangren Media was one of the producers of "The Legend of Swordsmanship", precisely because Liu Shishi was the organizer!
This year, she also produced two more films, "Saving the Suspect" and "Door Lock"...

They're all suspenseful crime films!
Both projects involved Shen Yan acquiring the adaptation rights, then handing them over to her for practice…

It was really a practice run—the actors were used interchangeably in the two films, with her starring in the film, along with Hu Ge, Li Xian, Han Dongjun, Nazha, Ng Man-tat, and others. The director was Shen Ao.

The two films together cost 7000 million yuan, with Xinghuo Studio investing half of it and her covering the rest herself.

She brought in Tangren Media, Huace Media, and Maoyan to join her team!
The producer approached Chen Chexi…

Then Pan Yueming also joined the cast of two films…

As for herself, she invested her earnings as equity—15% of the profits…

You see, the Tang people's share here was only agreed to because of our previous relationship...

Otherwise, Shi Shi could have approached companies like Enlight Media, Wanda Group, or China Film Group...

Judging from Shi Shi's current popularity and the quality of films produced by Spark Studio, these two movies have a high probability of being box office hits!

After all, Shen Yan's name is clearly written in the producer column!
Therefore, even in her last film, Shi Shi was still the leading lady.

After arriving in Hengdian, Shen Yan did not go to the film set, but went directly to her RV.

Shi Shi earned 170 million last year. Shen Yan helped her invest and manage her finances, earning her over 20 million. Then she bought a super luxury RV and even modified it...

Measuring 13 meters long, 2.5 meters wide, and 9.9 meters high, with an interior area of ​​26 square meters, it also features an expansion function. When the expansion compartment is opened, the interior area can be expanded to 45 square meters, making it as spacious as a mobile palace.

It not only features a bedroom, living room, bathroom, and dressing room, but also includes a multi-functional home theater with a full sofa area.

It has a water storage tank, a generator, and satellite navigation.

In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a spa room designed specifically for relaxation…

There's also a small coffee shop!
450…

According to Shi Shi: "With a dressing room, I don't need to stay in a hotel. When I wake up in the morning, I can have the makeup artist come to the car to do my makeup, which can save an hour!"

Shen Yan didn't care about that.

Anyway, she's rich, so she can do whatever she wants!

Shen Yan had Shi Shi's assistant open the car door, got in, took off his shoes, and went straight to bed...

I'm still so sleepy!

Yeah, I just lay down and fell asleep.

Chen Xu went to buy drinks, fruit, and coffee...

After all, Shen Yan is coming to visit the set, so we definitely have to bring a gift; otherwise, it would be too disrespectful!

……

The screenwriter for "The Imperial Doctress" is Zhang Wei, a legendary figure known for his works such as "Legend of Lu Zhen," "Legend of Ban Shu," "The Legend of Dugu," and now "The Imperial Doctress"...

The Mary Sue trope is well-made, but the historical accuracy is practically garbage...

Was Wei Qing born among the Xiongnu?

What a moron!
Wei Qing was born a stable boy…

The screenwriter is an idiot, and the censorship is about the same level!

Needless to say, "The Imperial Doctress" whitewashed the Ming Dynasty...

But it's not right to say that the screenwriter doesn't understand history. She gave Yu Qian the pseudonym Yu Dongyang and created a fictional character!
I roughly know the audience's attitude towards Qian...

However, she later wrote another book, "A Thought Through the Mountains and Rivers," which satisfied her desires—clearly showing that the prototype of Zhang Xiang was Yu Qian!
Oirat students also have fans…

This is absolutely ridiculous!
