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

Chapter 769 Casting Confirmed (34)

To be honest, Shen Yan rarely buys trending topics!
Unless it's a movie release and requires promotion, then I won't spend money to buy some...

If you don't buy it, the topic will immediately be overtaken by other people who bought their way into the trending searches...

For example, the trending topic #ZhouChuEliminatesThreeEvils, a work that saved the market# was quickly overtaken by #ZhengShuangWashesFeet#...

Oh, Shuang went on "Divas Hit the Road 2" and then took a path that was very different from most artists in the Chinese entertainment industry: she was genuine!

True nature...

It's just a matter of being ill-mannered and selfish!

Knowing that her behavior was wrong and that she would cause trouble for others, her attitude was "I don't care, I don't care, what does other people's pain have to do with me."

But... they still have fans, and they're die-hard fans, the kind with very high loyalty...

This is quite a strange tale in the Chinese entertainment industry...

Shen Yan was quite curious... why did BJ culture promote her?
Because of her looks?

She's so thin she's practically skin and bones; you really can't see any beauty in her...

Can it make money?
She wasn't considered a top star at that stage...

I can’t figure it out…

Perhaps the aesthetic sense of these big shots is just different from that of ordinary people!

Oh, Shen Yan scrolled through Weibo for a while, then went to sleep.

The next day, at 6:30 a.m. sharp, he got up on time, planning to go to the gym downstairs for a one-hour run, then wash up, eat breakfast, and head to the film set…

I walked into the living room and saw Meng Ziyi lying on the sofa!
I thought I was seeing things!

It's really her!

He walked over and woke her up: "Sister Meng, wake up!"

Meng Ziyi stretched: "...Good morning, Brother Yan...Huh? Why am I sleeping on the sofa?"

"How should I know? The guest room is right next door... Why aren't you sleeping in the bed?"

Meng Ziyi recalled for a moment, then said, "I was reading the script until the early hours of the morning last night. I was about to go back to my room when I got too tired, so I sat down to rest for a while... and then I fell asleep."

"...I'm truly impressed by you!"

Shen Yan was speechless: "...Go back to your room by yourself, I'm going downstairs for a run!"

Do you run every morning?

"Yes, Lin Nansheng should ideally be slim. Didn't you see I cut my hair short..."

Meng Ziyi asked curiously, "How many pounds have you lost?"

"I wasn't fat to begin with... I've lost about eight pounds by exercising a little more and eating lighter meals... I'm going downstairs for a run now."

After saying that, Shen Yan opened the door and went straight downstairs…

Uh, my body started moving a little strangely, I almost lost control...

After all, Sister Meng's sleeping posture wasn't very elegant; her delicate, white, silky shoulders and long, fair legs, along with the fact that her loose pajamas revealed quite a few alluring details...

Brother Yan... is in his prime!

Some unusual movements are normal...

But you must restrain yourself!
A minor skirmish, an in-depth exchange, and then what?
There's no way I can explain this to her...

It’s better to be honest!

……

When Shen Yan arrived at the filming location for "The Rebel," he immediately found Hou Hongliang and asked about the situation. The latter said, "Song Jia happens to have time, and she's willing to come!"

"Hmm? Song Jia has time?"

Shen Yan was quite surprised, because Song Jia should be very busy!
In the past two years, the era of the "Four Dan and Two Bing" dominating the big screen has actually come to an end. Only Fan Bingbing is still struggling, having acted in "I Am Not Madame Bovary," and later co-starring with Cao Baoping in "She Kills" and "White Sparrow"...

Bai Baihe, Yang Mi, and Liu Shishi, who are active on the big screen, actually don't have images that are very suitable for non-commercial films.

Song Jia is undoubtedly the best choice!

She's had an incredible amount of resources these past few years.

Xu Haofeng, Lou Ye, Liu Weiqiang, and Cai Shangjun are all willing to work with her!
Logically speaking, she shouldn't have time.

Hou Hongliang explained, "It seems there was a project that was originally offered to her, but it fell through... so she had three months free!"

"That's good..."

Uh, it's a TV series called "Don't Touch My Man," starring Li Yifeng... Li Yifeng got involved with Du Yang, and then took on projects from LeTV and Enlight Media, namely "Psychological Crime" and "Animal World"...

They're all part of a series!
Once you get a movie role, you're considered to have entered the film industry. Who cares about TV dramas anymore?
Moreover, the title "Don't Touch My Man" clearly indicates it's not a serious drama; it's obviously an urban romance film...

It doesn't provide much of a boost to him!
Since Li Yifeng had given up, Song Jia had no choice but to give up as well!

After all, one of the fundamental conditions for this project to take shape was that Li Yifeng starred in it.

"The script has already been sent to her; she'll be joining the crew in three days!"

"…I see!"

"It's your filming time, Brother Yan..."

Shen Yan said casually, "Don't worry, I'll extend the filming time!"

"That's great... I won't take up any more of your time!"

Won't it take up my time?

Shen Yan was about to say something when he saw Meng Ziyi, who was wearing a short skirt, walk in…

He kept yawning as he walked.

It's obvious he didn't get enough rest!

Shen Yan led her to the coffee shop and ordered her a coffee: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"...It's okay, I can sleep on set!"

"...How many scripts have you read?"

"I only watched two, and then I watched the video..."

"Video?" Shen Yan asked, puzzled. "What video?"

Meng Ziyi immediately changed his tune: "Don't you have any videos on your computer?"

"I'm not Teacher Chen, I don't have that kind of hobby!"

"Okay, then I started browsing Weibo..."

"Don't talk nonsense. If I had saved the video, how could you have found it?" Shen Yan glared at her and changed the subject: "Which scripts did you read?"

"How Long Will I Love U, A Bouquet of Love, Lucky Key, and The Man Inside Me..."

"...Which script do you think is right for you?"

"I absolutely love Gu Xiaojiao from 'How Long Will I Love U'!"

"That's Liu Shishi's movie. Filming will start at the end of the year, and the director they've found is Deng Ke... a new director!"

"Then... 'Love Like a Bouquet'?"

"This is the script prepared for Jing Tian..."

It's true, "Love Like a Bouquet" was a script specifically prepared for Jing Tian...

Wanda Pictures and Jing Tian's Hollywood cinematic universe rose quickly, but fell even faster...

In just two years, she was completely ignored!

Back when Shen Yan was starting out in his career, he owed a great deal to Jing Tian's help...

Even though this help was often ulterior motives, it did indeed contribute to the expansion of Shen Yan's reputation!
Shouldn't Brother Yan help?

"What about 'Lucky Key'?"

"The female lead is over thirty years old; we have already contacted Wan Qian!"

"The Man Inside Me?"

"...You're not really suitable for this one...We're looking for someone with a pure and innocent look, and for now, we're thinking of Chen Duling!"

Hearing this, Meng Ziyi was speechless: "...After all this time, there's nothing suitable for me?"

"...You can look for any online novels you particularly like, and I'll have them help you get them published..."

"Then why did you let me see the script?"

"...You were the one who wanted to see it; I just didn't refuse!"

Shen Yan waved his hand: "Alright, go back and discuss it with your agent... If you want to act in an IP drama, I'll have the company help you get a role. If you want to act in a movie... the more detailed the character and genre, the better..."

"full?"

"Yeah... I meant the character is well-developed, like her interests, hobbies, talents, etc., not that you are well-developed!"
