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

Chapter 772 Qixi Festival (24)

The script for "The Door Lock" has been revised...

The original version of "Door Lock" was terrible!

In order to create the feeling of helplessness and fear among women, the entire film portrays all male characters as villains.

Just like in "Jiangyuan Lane"...

It seems that Chen Kexin probably read "Door Lock" and then put together the first draft of the script for "Sauce Garden Alley." After discussing it with the screenwriter, she added boxing elements and then presented it...

Later, I felt the plate was too big, so I simply split it in two, breaking it down into two parts!

Shen Yan suggested that the Olympic bid be made into a suspenseful thriller...

The perspective shifts to the female protagonist, creating a strong sense of suspense from the very beginning. The female protagonist is alone at home and experiences various inexplicable harassments. The criminal is always lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to spy on her, and the female protagonist is filled with fear and anxiety every day.

To conceal the criminal's identity, two distractors were introduced: one was the company leader who had a crush on the female protagonist, and the other was a client with whom she had a work-related conflict.

Of course, the person following her was actually the apartment manager…

And he was hiding under the bed the whole time!
It's a psychological thriller.

Quite coincidentally, there has indeed been news about this recently.

Then "Door Lock" became even more famous...

However, there really aren't any movies worth looking forward to in August!
It was "Jason Bourne" on August 23rd, but it was a 3D exclusive, and it made everyone feel dizzy and nauseous...

……

August 9th is Qixi Festival...

After a day of filming, Shen Yan prepared to drive to the agreed-upon restaurant—Shi Shi had specially arranged for "The Door Lock" to be promoted in Shanghai today…

After changing his clothes, he left the film set and ran into Meng Ziyi, who was wearing a black short skirt. Seeing that Shen Yan was dressed in a suit, she asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Shen Yan replied casually, "...I have a date!"

"Sister Dilraba?"

"...Your sister Dilraba is still filming 'Running Man'!" She then retorted, "You're dressed so beautifully, did your ex-boyfriend contact you?"

"No, I want to have dinner with Sister Xiaotong..." Meng Ziyi shook her head decisively, then asked, "Why my ex-boyfriend?"

"Didn't you say you always go back to your exes..."

"Alright, I'm leaving now!"

As they spoke, Shen Yan prepared to get into the car…

"A Bentley!"

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you've never ridden it before."

"Where are you going?"

"The xx Pavilion...I booked it in advance!"

"...Wow, I've only heard of it, I've never been there!"

"After you finish filming, I'll take you out for a meal."

Meng Ziyi immediately beamed with joy: "I'm so sorry."

"gone!"

Meng Ziyi then asked, "Are you driving yourself?"

"Yes…"

"Then you won't drink?"

"...I don't have that hobby!"

There's only one night in total. We'd already missed dinner, let alone drinking.

All I can say is that Brother Yan is young now…

If I'm not in my prime anymore in a few years, then I might have to drink alcohol and talk about things like the Diamond Sutra...

Well, let's not talk about that online anymore, let's discuss Hegel, Schopenhauer, Freud, and Sartre...

Shen Yan drove away, completely unaware of Meng Ziyi's furious expression in the back of the car...

She dressed up specially, hoping to leave a deep impression on Shen Yan and hopefully win him over in one fell swoop!

To reiterate, Yan Ge is a well-rounded individual, a top-tier quality man in the industry.

Many women want to offer themselves as their bedmates…

……

After exiting the underground parking lot, Shen Yan put on his mask and went straight into the main gate…

Then, guided by the staff, we arrived at the private room.

Shishi has arrived!

Wearing a white mini-skirt, she smiled immediately upon seeing Shen Yan: "You're here!" "You guys finished so quickly?"

Shen Yan took off his coat and hung it in the entryway, then picked her up. It was a long-awaited reunion...

If it weren't for the inconvenience, we would have just done it on the spot!
The food was served, and they were eating when Shishi suddenly remembered something: "I heard that the drama you were filming recently had its cast changed?"

"...Yes, Song Jia has replaced her. The original actress was named Meng Ziyi..."

"Bad acting skills?"

“The difference in appearance and age is too great… According to the setting, she should be five or six years older than me… but Meng Ziyi is seven years younger than me!”

"Then why did you agree in the first place?"

Shen Yan explained, "Ji Xiang recommended her. There are only two outstanding female characters in this drama, and she was chosen for the lead role, so they cast her as the second female lead..."

She nodded casually, adding, "That young girl came here to film, she was definitely hoping to do her best... and then she was suddenly replaced..."

"It's okay, I talked to Ji Xiang, and he said he'd arrange a web series..."

What web series?

"She played Yue Lingshan in 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'!"

"...The one you mentioned before, the remake of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' from Yue Lingshan's perspective?"

"Correct!"

Shi Shi asked in surprise, "Haven't you taken the picture yet?"

Shen Yan sighed: "...We had already created a group once before, but the copyright was suddenly taken back... This time, we partnered with Tencent Video, and Tencent signed a lot of Jin Yong's copyrights!"

"That's good..." Shi Shi suddenly said, "Jin Yong's works don't seem to be very popular these past two years..."

"Hmm... In a while, Jin Yong's novels will probably be as popular as Zhang Henshui and Huanzhu Louzhu's. Actually, for popular novels with obvious characteristics of their time, Jin Yong's novels have been popular for a long enough period of time."

After a pause, Shen Yan added, "However, when you mention names like Guo Jing, Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, Yue Buqun, Dongfang Bubai, Dugu Qiubai, the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, and the Eastern Heretic and Western Poison, everyone should still recognize them!"

"And there's Abbess Miejue!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." Shen Yan changed the subject: "I just checked the box office of 'Door Lock' today. Will it surpass 8000 million?"

"About 60,000 screenings! The distributor secured 60,000 screenings!" Shi Shi nodded. "Anyway, the final box office should exceed 600 million!"

"Not bad, both of your films, which you produced and starred in, have grossed over 600 million yuan at the box office!"

"...all of them combined can't compare to 'Zhou Chu'..."

"What are you comparing me to... 'Zhou Chu' is a pure action film, it's a different genre!"

The third week of filming for "Zhou Chu Eliminates the Three Evils" still conservatively yielded 2100 million per day. Today is Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), and it's estimated that it will bring in around 5000 million...

According to the predictions given by the theater chains, the final box office will be between 29.4 billion and 29.8 billion yuan…

With a little effort, we can easily surpass three billion!
However, Brother Yan doesn't want to resort to underhanded tactics...

Moreover, once it exceeds three billion, his dividend will increase by one percentage point…

Shi Shi muttered, "Then why did you hire Yang Mi to act with you!"

"What?"

“It’s nothing,” Shi Shi shook her head, then continued, “Shen Ao wants to make a movie about insurance fraud…”

"A serious film?"

"Ah."

"Make a budget; if it doesn't exceed 5000 million, then let him do whatever he wants..."

Shi Shi nodded: "Okay... I won't act in this play..."

"You have a new film?"

"Hmm, it's a fantasy drama called 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain'..."

"Once Upon a Time There Was a Spirit Sword Mountain?"

Shen Yan was very surprised…

Isn't it "Lost Love in Times"?

Okay, "Lost Love in Times" is produced by Straw Bear, and Shi Shi in this timeline has absolutely no connection with Straw Bear...

"Give it your all, treat this as your last fantasy drama!"

"I'll definitely do my best!" Shi Shi took the tissue Shen Yan handed her, wiped her mouth, and said, "Let's go..."

"Um…"

Where to go from here?

Of course, we'll go to the hotel!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the various feelings are hard to describe. It was just one night of revelry!
