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

Chapter 933 Meeting (13)

In recent years, Shen Yan and Zhao Liying have basically had no contact...

He was a little afraid of Xiao Zhao!
There's a term called "green gloves."

This refers to a female celebrity who becomes pregnant with a powerful figure's child. In order to give the child a legal status, she will quickly marry a well-known artist. After the child is born, the marriage may be kept low-key or eventually end in divorce.

This approach aims to protect the interests of all parties while providing children with a legitimate family background.

Shen Yan doesn't want to be someone's father!
Of course, this is just one saying...

However, back then, the Feitian Awards mandated that all satellite TV stations across the country broadcast the awards!
The flying event was never this big before, especially since Hunan TV was suddenly ordered to broadcast it instead of the long-awaited Hengyang Tourism Development Conference…

I just wanted to see her crowned Best Actress!

Of course, it could also just be a coincidence...

You can't be sure!

Oh, right, she sent a message directly: "I'm at XX Hotel, do you have time to come over?"

Shen Yan didn't reply immediately; he was staring at "Parasite" in the painting forest...

After I leave, I plan to go to the company to discuss the scriptwriting for "Where the Wind Blows" with the screenwriters...

The original version of "Go to Where the Wind Blows"... is quite good.

The story of this drama isn't the best, the topics aren't the most popular, and even the visuals aren't so stunning that every frame could be used as wallpaper. But that doesn't change the fact that this is probably the most important TV series to Yunnan officials, especially those in Dali.

Even if its promotion and viewership are mediocre, it will still receive official support.

Because this drama really brought a lot of traffic to Yunnan...

Shen Yan hopes to create a pastoral idyll-like story—not a "hermit's pastoral idyll" of escaping the world, but a "human touch and pastoral symphony" of engaging with the world in the present moment.

It unfolds a lighthearted comedy scroll full of human warmth in a pastoral idyll, with a group of lovable and endearing characters, a gentle and soothing pace, a touch of travelogue-like comforting style, and a few soothing alternative comforts.

The true foundation supporting this idyllic pastoral scene and rural paradise is clearly not the scenery but the people, the very rich human touch.

In small towns, neighbors live in harmony and have close relationships. Most people in a village share the same surname and are related by some degree.

In fact, similar works have existed before, but their drawbacks include negative constraints such as prying and a loss of boundaries, and overstepping boundaries and meddling in the name of love and concern.

"Go to Where the Wind Is" handles this very well...

It presents more of the positive aspect of "strong human touch".

It evokes a sense of leisurely and comforting life in a small town.

The small towns in the story also face the same predicament to some extent.

People outside want to go in and experience it, while those inside want to go out and strive in big cities…

What needs to be done is to downplay, and incidentally reinforce, Xie Zhiyao's idealism: developing his hometown and achieving common prosperity!

There are also drawbacks. The drama almost exclusively showcases the beautiful, one-sided aspect of the "rural paradise," choosing only a sweet and pleasant facet, which inevitably loses its deeper and more profound power. Moreover, the opening setup is a bit too long...

The story directly arranges for Xu Hongdou to resign, interspersed with flashbacks from time to time, and the audience is not told Chen Nanxing's gender yet...

In this way, the audience can also feel the tension and immersion!

Also, the storyline involving Hu Youyu wasn't handled very well...

I always felt that his romantic partner, Miss Bai, was like a character added on the spur of the moment. It was like a stranger suddenly appearing halfway through filming, and it didn't really matter whether she was there or not…

Shen Yan will definitely delete this character...

Oh, right, the female lead…

It's estimated that Liu Yifei is unavailable—she's probably filming "Mulan"...

Unless they abandon Mulan!
Moreover, after "Mulan," her focus should be on Hollywood...

Okay, I'll send her an invitation. If she agrees, I'll use her; if not, oh well...

……

The restaurant is a very famous one, called something like Wu Hu No. 9...

Known as the "home of celebrities" at the Workers' Stadium.

A seafood restaurant!

The staff led Shen Yan to a private room. Pushing open the door, Zhao Liying was ordering food. Seeing Shen Yan, she immediately asked, "What would you like to eat?"

Shen Yan then looked at the staff and said, "Bring out all your signature dishes..."

Zhao Liying replied, "We don't need that many, four dishes will be enough..."

"Another bowl of rice... I'm a little hungry!"

"Okay, then I'll have the kitchen serve the food right away?" "Hmm... Go ahead!"

After the staff left, Shen Yan took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, and then sat down: "It's still quite cold today!"

"I feel fine..."

Xiao Zhao chimed in, getting up to pour him a cup of tea before asking, "What have you been up to lately?"

"Just got back from Hainan, back to work on post-production for the film..."

"You'll be overseeing the post-production?"

"Yes, this time I'm also the post-production director..."

"Are you going to Cannes?"

"Correct!"

Zhao Liying nodded: "I heard that Jia Zhangke's 'Ash Is Purest White' was also shortlisted for Cannes!"

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment: "...The notification has already been sent out?"

"That's not true yet... I've only heard about it!"

Shen Yan was speechless: "Then what's the point of just hearing about it... I also heard that 'Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry' has been submitted to Cannes!"

Have you seen "Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry"?

Shen Yan shook his head: "I've heard of it, but haven't seen it yet..."

Zhao Liying advised, "Don't look!"

"you saw it?"

"Hmm, I didn't finish watching it..." Zhao Liying complained, "It's pretty bad!"

……

Pure Heart: Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry…

It has become an adjective.

After all, it holds the title of the worst film in Chinese film history and the lowest-rated Chinese-language film on Douban!
Shen Yan had only heard of it, but had never seen it...

However, its 2.1 rating on Douban must have its unique merits!
Someone asked: Is "Pure Hearts in the Entertainment Industry" worse or "The Room"?

Both films have their own strengths.

Even though a bad movie is generally bad, we can still tell that it was made by "someone with very poor skills".

But both "Pure Heart" and "Room" give the impression that "they are simply not films that humans could make."

Room has illogical character relationships and plot, and features absurd lines like "You're tearing me apart, Lisa" and "Hi, Mark".

"Pure Heart" features an unusually large amount of narration, with dialogue resembling that of a lower elementary school student reading a textbook, and eleven storylines cut into a tangled mess.

Okay, the reason "Room" became a cult film with a group of enthusiastic fans is mainly because people organized viewing rituals, including throwing spoons, tossing rugby balls, and greeting the characters...

Moreover, while this film is terrible, it's not disgusting. Director Tommy Wiseau avoided all the conventions of filmmaking, yet he fully demonstrated his seriousness towards filmmaking in the film. This is why this "worst film ever" has a group of loyal fans. In their eyes, this film has value and is also entertaining, so it is a worthwhile bad film.

"Dream Chasing in the Entertainment Industry" is incredibly frustrating to watch... it's just plain awful, and you can't see any passion for movies at all!

Oh, and director Bi Zhifei also posted on Weibo suing Douban…

However, this movie only has a 1.0 rating on IMDb…

According to Bi Dao's logic: 1 point is simply destroying the film dream of a Chinese filmmaker who puts his heart into making movies...

You should sue IMDb…

However, from some perspectives, I'm quite envious of Director Bi.

Because his current behavior makes it seem like he's genuinely angry, believing that everyone is attacking him, rather than engaging in malicious negative marketing.

She's in her thirties or forties, and she can still be so innocent...

It wasn't easy!

Like Lu Chuan, he's in his fifties and still considers himself a film genius…

When "Bureau 749" was questioned, he not only responded to the questioners.

Furthermore, they cited the positive feedback from industry insiders during the test screenings as proof, including the strong support from many well-known actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, and lighting technicians…

After his reputation collapsed, he posted three Weibo posts in a row to defend himself, which was criticized as "blaming the failure on the audience's lack of aesthetic appreciation". He said, "Aesthetic appreciation needs to be cultivated, and I can wait for you."

He still felt wronged and repeatedly emphasized the hardships of "eight years of perseverance" and "paying out 3000 million yuan of his own money to make up for the shortfall."
