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

Chapter 776 Super Deluxe Lineup (24)

Filming for "The Rebel" went smoothly...

This is mainly due to the huge investment made in the early stages!

Kong Sheng has very high standards for his work, and he decisively built a whole dance hall at the "Fulidu" studio in the Miaopeng Film and Television Base in SJ District...

The outdoor train station at the base has also been widened...

As an aside, Miaopeng Film and Television Base is located in Cangcheng Film and Television Cultural Industrial Park, SJ District, Shanghai. In addition to more than 80 acres of outdoor shooting locations, it also has indoor Republic of China-era set studios and Republic of China-era prop warehouses.

The Rebel took about four months to complete!

During those four months, only one film, "The Rebel," was being shot in the entire industrial park.

Unlike Hengdian...

There are so many film crews shooting in Hengdian, sometimes I want to work overtime, but the lease on the venue has expired...

If you want to reshoot, you'll have to make a new appointment and wait in line!
Moreover, the filming equipment used in "The Rebel" is top-of-the-line. Kong Sheng himself is a photographer with extremely high aesthetic standards, pursuing cinematic quality in the visuals and striving to restore the texture and authenticity of the era.

However, the production team of "The Rebel" is not short of money...

Of the 1.8 million yuan production budget, at least 1.2 million yuan went to filming!

Therefore, Shen Yan didn't need to worry about filming at all; she just needed to play her role well.

Filming usually ends around 7 PM every day…

Today is no exception!

After finishing her performance, Shen Yan changed her clothes and prepared to return to her hotel…

Remembering something, she called Meng Ziyi: "Which restaurant do you want to go to? I'll come pick you up!"

"I'm searching... How about we go to Ronghe Hall?"

"No...we're not going to the HP area...it's in Songjiang...too far!"

"But I see a lot of Michelin-starred restaurants in the Huangpu area..."

After waiting for a while, Shen Yan didn't say anything. Meng Ziyi suggested in a low voice, "How about we just have the hotel prepare some food and send it to the room?"

"...Okay, just order whatever you want...I'll be there in about half an hour!"

……

Meng Ziyi recently sought advice from Song Jia…

If you like someone, take the initiative!
Shen Yan... is a good match no matter how you look at it. Even if they can't be together, experiencing it a few times is not bad. Just consider it a memory!
She thought it made a lot of sense…

So, I put in the effort…

She deliberately wore a figure-flattering spaghetti strap dress, burgundy…

It made her skin appear even whiter.

I also put red nail polish on my toenails...

She twirled beautifully in front of the camera…

Shen Yan knocked and came in, a little confused, thinking she had come to the wrong room: "Why are you wearing high heels in your own room?"

"looks good!"

"Okay, it really looks good... Is there any water?"

"Only bottled water..."

"OK…"

"It's in the fridge, help yourself!"

Shen Yan was a little speechless. He changed into a pair of slippers, then opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of mineral water…

"Let's sit down and talk!"

"…good,"

Shen Yan sat down facing her, separated by a small tea table, very close to her.

Meng Ziyi stared at him, and Shen Yan asked in confusion, "What's wrong with me?"

"You're quite handsome!"

"...Big sister, this is the face I used to get into the industry!" Shen Yan was speechless: "You've finished watching 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'?"

"I only watched half of it," Meng Ziyi said somewhat awkwardly, "but I looked it up online, and they all say Ren Yingying is the mastermind behind it all..."

"Yes, our adaptation unfolds from Ren Yingying's perspective..."

"Then what about Linghu Chong?"

"Consider it her reward..."

"award?"

"That's right, Linghu Chong possesses martial arts such as the Dugu Nine Swords, the Yi Jin Jing, the Zixia Divine Skill, the Hunyuan Yi Qi Gong, and the Star Absorbing Skill. He comes from a prestigious family and is the senior disciple of the Huashan Sect... He is undoubtedly a perfect match!"

"So, this drama is going to be changed to feature a strong female lead?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Hmm... that's one way to understand it!"

Meng Ziyi changed the subject: "So you're going to film 'Love O2O' next?"

"Yes, I promised Dilraba..."

"You're so good to her!"

"...She signed with our company when she was 17, just like Chen Yao..."

"Who should play Linghu Chong?"

"Linghu Chong... no, why are you talking so disjointedly?"

Shen Yan was completely stunned… “I just thought of it…”

"There will probably be an audition, and it's highly likely to be Zheng Yecheng... He was signed by the company according to the standards for martial arts actors!"

While chatting, Shen Yan drank water and then noticed that her toes were swaying back and forth, intentionally or unintentionally rubbing against his calves.

High heel…

Shen Yan simply reached out and grabbed her foot…

"Stop rubbing against me, what do you want?"

"miss you!"

"... "

Huh? The positions are reversed?

Usually, it's others who ask Shen Yan, and then he replies that he wants to…

Could it be that my status has been established?
Never mind, just think about it. I picked him up and was about to move on to the next step... when someone knocked on the door... Okay, the diners have arrived!
Shen Yan released the slightly dazed Meng Ziyi: "...Go open the door!"

"Ok?"

"Never mind, you lie down, I'll go open it!"

……

Four dishes, two soups, and a bottle of red wine…

Shen Yan poured himself a glass, tasted it, and found it to be alright, with relatively little sourness.

"Do you want a drink?"

Meng Ziyi's face flushed red: "...Um, I'll have a little..."

Then she sat on his lap…

Shen Yan originally planned to eat something first!

Never mind, I won't eat for now...

They've taken the initiative to provoke us!

I picked her up and took her to the bedroom…

I originally planned to teach him a lesson once and let it go—after all, I still need to eat!

She then asked, "I read online that men are considered middle-aged after 25? What does that mean?"

Shen Yan... went for it again!
Then… I was so hungry I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I went back to the living room. The food was still warm…

Just kidding, even though his drilling efficiency is high, it shouldn't be this fast...

The food was cold, but it's August and mostly vegetarian, so it didn't make much of a difference.

I ate very quickly, mainly because I was really hungry!
While we were eating, Meng Ziyi came out too…

They're probably hungry too!
I first drank a glass of red wine—one sip and I was completely stunned.

It's understandable; excessive water loss necessitates replenishing fluids...

This time, she chose to sit opposite Shen Yan.

"Chen Yao and I are classmates!"

"…I know…"

"Ah? You know?"

"Ji Xiang has collaborated with Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, and Shanghai Theatre Academy... Otherwise, why do you think you were signed?"

"...Because I'm good-looking?"

"Correct!"

Shen Yan nodded: "And you want to be famous!"

"Is this a good thing?"

“It’s normal for newcomers to want to become famous… By the way,” Shen Yan remembered something, “Do you know any male actors who would be suitable to play Lin Pingzhi?”

"...Lin Pingzhi, the one who played Ga Dan?"

"Correct!"

Meng Ziyi thought about it seriously for a moment, then said, "Zhang Wanyi in our class is quite good..."

"Zhang Wanyi is also your classmate?"

"You know him?"

"I've heard of it..."

I heard about it in the original timeline: "The Age of Awakening" and "The Children of Qiao Family"...

"So what do you think of him?"

Ultimately, it's the director's team that decides!

After a pause, Shen Yan added, "The directing team is Lu Yang's team; he's the chief director..."

Meng Ziyi exclaimed in surprise: "Director Lu Yang?"

"He likes martial arts films... and it's a collaboration between five directors..."

"How much will that cost?"

“1.8 million…” Shen Yan glanced at her: “Don’t worry, Yu Zui is doing very well, the platform has confidence!”
