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

Chapter 671 Reba (44)

Shen Yan chatted with someone on Weibo for a full twenty minutes…

Of course, he only answered questions about "major life events"!

After all, the movie is still in its promotional period...

After turning off her phone and drinking an iced Americano, Ji Xiang rushed over. Shen Yan complained to him, "Don't any of these people watch my live stream?"

"...Only a minority of people watch live streams, and I don't watch them either!"

"It should be alright... I always have over 800 million people online at any given time!"

“That’s you…” Ji Xiang remembered something: “Wang Sicong started Panda TV and invited us to join… What do you think?”

"I'm too lazy to look..."

Shen Yan shook his head: "Most second-generation rich kids fail when they start their own businesses!"

"They have Wanda Group backing them!"

"...Wanda...the real estate boom will only last two or three years at most!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiang frowned: "What's your basis?"

"I'm just making things up without any basis..." Shen Yan waved his hand, "Just think of me as jealous of Wang Sicong!"

"You? Jealous?"

"He's the nation's heartthrob; he can swear at anyone and still have a bunch of fans who say he's true to his nature!"

"What do you mean by 'true character'? You're just ill-mannered!"

Shen Yan laughed: "You'd better watch out, if I expose you, you'll definitely get a lot of flak."

Ji Xiang glanced at the iced Americano on Shen Yan's table and couldn't help but ask, "...You drank coffee again?"

"It's nothing... I'm just a little tired... My mental state is actually okay!" Shen Yan sat down and asked him, "Have you arranged your next schedule?"

"Actually, we don't need to work so hard..."

"It's okay, I'm back... I've definitely made all the necessary preparations!"

"We've arranged three interviews later, a cover shoot for Marie Claire magazine tonight... Tomorrow, we'll go to Shanghai to meet up with the cast and crew of 'Life's Big Events' for a press conference... Tomorrow afternoon, we have interviews with two major portal websites..."

"Let me check the schedule!"

Shen Yan took the itinerary from Ji Xiang and immediately broke down – it was a densely packed five-day itinerary!
"Damn it, you can't treat me like a fool..."

"...Then you missed ten days of promotional time..."

"That's going too far..." Shen Yan pointed to the schedule: "Delete the variety show recording!"

"Running Man, don't you want to go?"

"I'm not good at playing games, and when I'm on TV shows, I'm just the one being played!"

"...That's right, it doesn't fit your persona at all!"

Ji Xiang nodded: "Then let's delete 'Running Man'..."

How is the second season of "Running Man"?

"After airing two episodes, the average viewership rating has exceeded 5%, which is simply unbelievable!"

Well, the ratings for both the second and third seasons of "Running Man" were amazing.

Both seasons achieved an average viewership rating of over 4.

In contrast, "Where Are We Going, Dad?" was incredibly popular. In its first season, ratings consistently exceeded 4%, with a peak of over 6%. However, in the second season, ratings plummeted to less than 3%, and in the final episodes, they even fell below 2%...

“That’s good,” Shen Yan nodded, then asked, “…Has Zhejiang TV mentioned buying out the copyright?”

"No... but they might have to record two seasons this year!"

"Let them do as they please... When it's time to split the profits, just give them a heads-up!"

"Um…"

After chatting for a while, Shen Yan changed the subject: "Let's get something to eat, I'm a little hungry..."

"OK, I'll order the food..."

Ji Xiang dialed the phone…

Shen Yan was about to browse Weibo... when he heard a knock on the door...

He looked at Ji Xiang in surprise: Holy crap, that's lightning fast!

Ji Xiang looked completely innocent: "It shouldn't be, I just ordered..." "May I come in?"

It's a girl's voice...

"Please come in!"

It was Dilraba! She was carrying two lunchboxes and said as she walked in, "I guessed that Brother Yan hadn't eaten yet, so I specially brought you our braised chicken and fried noodles... Hey, President Ji... what are you doing here?"

Ji Xiang was speechless: "...Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you doing at the company?"

"I came to Beijing to shoot magazine photos and do ads..." Dilraba pointed at Shen Yan: "I heard that Brother Yan went back to China, and he told me he wanted to eat fried noodles..."

"I... okay, I did say that!"

Shen Yan didn't know what to say... He had been chatting with Dilraba earlier, complaining about the food in Los Angeles, mainly about how bad the Western food was...

Then Reba suggested that Shen Yan return to China and invite him to WLMQ for a few meals!
Just chatting idly...

I never expected that Dilraba would actually come to visit as soon as I returned to China!
Ji Xiang couldn't help but ask again, "Don't you need to promote your TV series?"

"What TV series?" Shen Yan asked instinctively, then realized it was "Goodbye My Princess"!
……

"Goodbye My Princess" took over the time slot from "The Empress of China," and its first-day viewership rating exceeded 1.5...

Then it remained stable at around 2%, the web click-through rate...

Breaking 100 million in 24 hours…

All I can say is that it lives up to Dilraba's popularity!
By episode 12, the Red Wedding, the discussion had surged...

The single episode garnered over 200 million views in 24 hours!
The ratings have also begun to soar—now that episode 48 has aired, the ratings are stable at around 4%...

It's almost surpassing the previous "The Empress of China"!

Wang Kai and Zhu Yilong also saw their popularity rise again.

Wang Kai plays Li Chengyin, while Zhu Yilong plays Gu Jian…

Especially Wang Kai – in episode 55 of "Goodbye My Princess", a lot of political intrigue was added, all revolving around Li Chengyin!

Li Chengyin is a character who subverts the typical idol drama tropes—he is neither a domineering CEO nor a gentle and refined gentleman.

From beginning to end, he never "turned evil." His character remained consistent throughout. He clearly knew what he wanted to do. He followed a career-driven script, abandoned love, never trusted anyone, only cared about himself, and devoted his entire life to pursuing the throne of an emperor. He was invincible, unstoppable, and victorious in every battle.

Unfortunately, this is a romance novel...

Playing the character Li Chengyin must be quite enjoyable, but unfortunately Shen Yan really doesn't have the time!
However, this drama greatly boosted Dilraba's career, becoming almost a signature work...

—In this timeline, she can no longer act in "Diamond Lover," as she no longer has the iconic role of Gao Wen, but now she has Xiao Feng.

Anyway, Bilibili editors shouldn't lack material!
……

Ji Xiang wisely left—after all, Dilraba's eyes were fixed on Shen Yan, clearly indicating that she had something to say!

Oh, Ji Xiang doesn't seem to care much about Shen Yan's private life.

He came from Huayi Brothers, so he was used to it...

A few more women... what does that matter to him?
That's called a talented man's romantic escapades...

In the office, Dilraba sat directly next to Shen Yan and fed him bite by bite...

This made Yan Ge a little uncomfortable.

"Should I chew it up first...?"

"Don't…"

Shen Yan quickly refused…

This isn't romantic anymore, it's disgusting!

After finishing a plate of fried noodles, Shen Yan reached out and picked her up, but she quickly waved her hands, saying, "No, these clothes are borrowed... don't ruin them!"

"…What?"

Shen Yan was stunned again…

He just wanted a hug, he wasn't thinking about anything further...

At least at this moment, his mind is perfectly normal!
This is the office; someone can knock on the door and come in at any time…

Then, Dilraba removed her equipment, then descended, unleashing a smooth little combo...

No, what are young women thinking these days?
