Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Chapter 205 He's too good at it, Shishi who guards her food

The impact of someone universally recognized as a comedian suddenly becoming serious during a film audition and displaying incredibly cool swordsmanship is immense.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

As Shen Can made each move, Shi Shi's beautiful eyes widened; she was completely mesmerized.

She had seen some male actors wielding swords, but most of them had only received action training from martial arts choreographers and did not possess professional martial arts skills.

Generally speaking, highly difficult martial arts moves are often performed by stunt doubles.

Shen Can is different; he seems to genuinely know how.

Moreover, Shen Can's martial arts skills seem to be even stronger than those of professionals, at least in terms of swordsmanship; it's obvious that he has put in a lot of hard work.

"His skills are amazing!" Shishi stared blankly, unable to help but say, feeling a little envious.

Not only her, but the other Tangren employees in the practice room also had various expressions, some shocked, some stunned.

Or amazed —

Some of the female employees, in particular, had their eyes shining.

"He did it on purpose," Cai Yinong thought to herself as she watched Shen Can's figure disappear.

The script she gave Shen Can did indeed contain a section of the "Scripture of Salvation," but it didn't require Shen Can to perform a sword dance; she just told him to strike a few poses.

To everyone's surprise, Shen Can directly used swordsmanship!

That was a ruthless move!

He completely captivated these female employees, including some who were already married, and even Shishi.

Cai Yinong strongly suspects that Shen Can is deliberately showing off, and his purpose may be to get close to Shi Shi.

This is very much in line with Shen Can's style of doing things—he loves his older sister.

"Could he really be trying to flirt with Shishi?" Cai Yinong glanced at Shen Can, then at Shishi, who was staring intently at Shen Can.

At this moment, Shen Can made a finishing move and then sheathed his sword.

Shen Can's sword-sheathing movements were also a sight to behold. He first performed a sword flourish, then, with the tip of the sword pointing upwards in his right hand, his left thumb and forefinger traced the spine of the blade. Then, like playing an erhu, he pulled the sword downwards, and with a leftward turn, he raised the sword—

It's the signature sword-sheathing move of Kenny Ho's "Zhan Zhao" in "Justice Bao".

Since the sword in his hand is a prop sword, he is not afraid of cutting his hand.

Seeing this, Tsai Yinong felt, "Damn it, he got away with it again."

Keep pretending, keep pretending!

You're a singer, why are you practicing martial arts instead of dancing?

Although "dance" and "martial arts" are homophones, it still felt strange to her.

At the same time, she realized: "No wonder those rich women like young men. Tsk, look at someone like Shen Can, young body, handsome face, perfect figure, full of talent—to rich women, he's simply a succubus."

Questioning rich women, understanding rich women, becoming rich women.

Compared to him, the old man Li Guoli standing next to him suddenly seemed less appealing.

Cai Yinong glanced at the several married female employees present, whose faces were beaming with joy, and guessed that they had probably had countless emotional affairs in those few short minutes.

Following that, Shen Can performed the next scene, in which Xu Changqing and Jing Tian, ​​after getting drunk, expressed their feelings for Zi Xuan through drunken words.

"Zixuan, I love you." Shen Can said loudly, his voice slurred with drunkenness, but his expression was somewhat pained. Because of Xu Changqing's status, he could not confess to Zixuan, but his heart was filled with Zixuan.

This section is extremely tense.

"What a talent!" Li Guoli exclaimed as he watched Shen Can act.

The script given to Shen Can wasn't given randomly.

The first segment is a long monologue, which tests Shen Can's acting skills.

The second part consists of reciting the "Scripture of Salvation" and physical movements, testing Shen Can's ability to express himself through gestures.

The third scene, featuring Xu Changqing in a drunken state, tests Shen Can's acting skills and emotional expressiveness.

Shen Can performed all three parts almost perfectly, to an impeccable degree. Even if Huo Jianhua were to do it, he might not be able to do it better than Shen Can.

Shen Can's white-clad swordsman is not only calm and elegant, but also has a solid foundation in martial arts, which saved a lot of trouble during filming. For example, Liu Yifei, who plays "Little Dragon Girl", performed many of the difficult moves herself because of her dance background.

The same goes for Shi Shi; she also performed many of the difficult stunts herself for the characters she played.

This is a plus.

What's even more outrageous is that Shen Can memorized all those lines and scenes after just one glance.

His memory is astonishingly good.

Or rather, he's not even human.

Li Guoli quickly replaced Huo Jianhua with Shen Can as his preferred choice for the role of Xu Changqing.

He knew very well that actors and plays complement each other.

Actors need good scripts, and good directors need good actors.

If a core character like Xu Changqing from the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 is portrayed poorly by the actor, it will ruin the show, or at least create flaws.

That's why he's so cautious.

Now, seeing Shen Can's performance, he finally felt relieved.

"After the darkest hour comes the dawn," Li Guoli murmured to himself.

Huo Jianhua rejected him, but unexpectedly met someone more suitable.

At that moment, Shishi only thought, "He's too skilled!"

Shen Can is just a freshman and hasn't appeared in any movies or TV shows yet, but his behavior at this moment doesn't look like that of a greenhorn at all.

He's so good at it!

"Compared to him, I'm more like a newcomer," Shishi said.

Shen Can's performance is either due to exceptional talent or the countless efforts he has put in behind the scenes.

Shishi tends to have both.

the other side.

Shen Can quickly finished performing the third scene.

The scene wasn't long, and he felt he did a decent job.

As I said before, he's a professional when it comes to brevity.

Li Guoli and Cai Yinong quickly walked up to Shen Can. Cai Yinong asked, "Have you practiced martial arts?" This still charming young woman, in the prime of her life, had a smile on her face, and she looked exceptionally beautiful when she smiled.

"I know a little bit." Shen Can nodded.

Li Guoli looked at Shen Can and spontaneously applauded, "Brilliant!"

After he started, everyone else in the practice room joined in the applause.

"I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration," Li Guoli added.

Upon hearing this, Tsai Yinong's lips curled up slightly.

The person she's set her sights on is exceptionally outstanding.

It's clear that Li Guoli is very busy. After finalizing the role of Xu Changqing, he immediately left Tangren Media. Shen Can heard from Shi Shi that Li Guoli had to rush back to Zhejiang Province that night and continue filming the 08 version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" the next day. Shi Shi would also be going there soon, where she plays "Mu Nianci".

Did you and Yang Kang have any kissing scenes?

On the second floor, Shen Can and Shi Shi were drinking tea when Shen Can casually asked a question.

After finishing his business, he originally planned to head to the next place, but Cai Yinong told him that she had something else to discuss, but she needed to use the restroom and would talk to him when she returned, so Shen Can stayed behind.

Anyway, with Shishi keeping me company, I'm not bored.

"I think so, but they haven't filmed that part yet. The actor who plays Yang Kang is also your senior." Shi Shi glanced at Shen Can, trying to guess the reason behind his question, then picked up her teacup and blew on it a few times.

This action reminded Shen Can of the first time he met Shi Shi, who was also blowing tea, and she was very elegant.

She exudes elegance.

"Yuan Hong?"

"Yes, it's him." Shishi nodded, her beautiful eyes looking at Shen Can. She hesitated for a moment, but still asked frankly, "You're not jealous, are you?"

Shen Can was more direct. He looked at Shi Shi, smiled, and said, "I just don't want to see the girl I've kissed being kissed by someone else."

1

"Hahaha—" Liu laughed loudly.

Whether she was trying to cover up her embarrassment with laughter or simply didn't know how to answer, a blush appeared on her face.

"You're so domineering."

Shishi took a sip of tea.

Shen Can's reaction was consistent with her impression of 18-year-old boys; it's normal for boys of that age to be jealous of each other.

"Let me correct you, this is called food guarding." Shen Can raised an eyebrow.

Shishi:

She lowered her head slightly, looking a little shy.

"I'll try my best to refuse. To be honest, I don't want to film kissing scenes either." Shi Shi smiled slightly, the feeling of being kissed by Shen Can a few days ago flashing through her mind—her heart was racing, her breathing was rapid, and her whole body felt weak.

It turns out that the kissing scenes depicted in some idol dramas are actually real.

Someone once told her that if you like someone, you'll feel a spark when you kiss them; otherwise, it will be bland and tasteless.

That time, she clearly felt an electric shock.

Meanwhile, Shen Can was thinking about other things.

In his past life, Yuan Hong pursued Shi Shi passionately, especially during the filming of "Scarlet Heart". In this drama, Yuan Hong played the "Eighth Prince" while 576 played the "Fourth Prince".

Yuan Hong pursued her relentlessly, while the older man acted as a warm and caring man by Shi Shi's side.

Rumor has it that Yuan Hong once had a relationship with Shi Shi, but later he terminated his contract with Tangren Media and his career declined. To put it bluntly, he was broke. This relationship was then severed by Tangren Media and Shi Shi's mother.

After that, Shi Shi and 576 filmed the sequel to "Scarlet Heart", "Scarlet Heart 2". In addition, 576 had a stable career and a wealthy family, so the two got together.

"Should I just cancel this show?" Shen Can rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, getting the urge to cause trouble.

Destroying "Scarlet Heart" is actually quite simple.

Tangren Media only turned its attention to the field of novel adaptations in 09.

The novel they initially discussed was "Wu Xin: The Monster Killer," while the original novel of "Scarlet Heart" was recommended to Cai Yinong by an employee of Tangren Media. So, in November 2009, Tangren Media approached the author of the book, Tong Hua, and purchased the TV adaptation rights.

Therefore, as long as you invest in and buy the TV adaptation rights of "Scarlet Heart" before Tangren makes a move, you can simply hold off on filming it.

There are two advantages to doing this:

Firstly, it can reduce the number of hit Qing Dynasty time-travel dramas that overly romanticize Qing Dynasty emperors and princes.

Secondly, it reduced the contact between Shishi and 576 due to filming.

Of course, this won't turn into a losing business.

Then, in 18, the TV adaptation rights to "Scarlet Heart" can be sold for a high price.

Because by 19, the authorities would investigate and shut down a restoration organization, and then quickly tighten the censorship of Qing Dynasty dramas.

Then Shen Can thought of the Mongol ruler, who had "whipped the corpses" of every dynasty until she whipped the Qing Dynasty. Good heavens—the corpse came back to life!

You're not dead?

That's terrifying!

Shi Shi, of course, had no idea what Shen Can was thinking. She took the initiative to start a conversation: "I wonder who you'll be acting in romantic scenes with during the filming of 'Chinese Paladin 3'?"

"Tang Yan," Shen Can answered instantly in his mind.

"Why don't you talk to President Cai and ask him to let you play Zi Xuan?" Shen Can suggested.

"President Cai is indeed hesitating between me playing Zi Xuan or Long Kui," Shi Shi whispered.

Shen Can was aware of this.

At the beginning of filming for Chinese Paladin 3, there was a major change in the casting. Originally, Tang Yan was slated to play Xue Jian and Liu Shishi to play Zi Xuan. Tangren even released a set of costume photos.

However, after filming began, the production team felt that Tang Yan was not suitable for the role of Xue Jian, and the desired filming effect could not be achieved. Tang Yan was more suitable for playing a mature and sophisticated woman. On the other hand, Yang Mi received a lot of support from netizens in online polls for the role of "Xue Jian," so Tangren went to the "Dream of the Red Chamber" production team to approach Yang Mi again.

That's how we came to know the game "Chinese Paladin 3".

It's not hard to understand Tsai Yinong's dilemma. The role of Long Kui best suits Liu Shishi's temperament, but the tall and charming mature woman Zi Xuan seems to be more memorable.

Shen Can and Shi Shi chatted happily for a while, and then Cai Yinong found Shen Can.

What she wanted to talk about was actually very simple.

Now that it's confirmed that Shen Can will star in Chinese Paladin 3, the opening theme, insert songs, and ending theme can all be entrusted to Shen Can for production.

Since we're going to spend money to have someone else make it anyway, we might as well give it to Shen Can.

Shen Can's productions are always top-notch, so the chances of him making a mistake are slim. He can also use his popularity in the music industry to increase the buzz for Chinese Paladin 3, which is a win-win situation.

"A top singer composing songs for a TV series—if this gets out, how exciting will it be online?" Tsai Yinong's eyes gleamed.

Looking at Shen Can, she felt that her younger brother was a huge, enormous, and incomparably vast treasure.

Unfortunately, the opportunity to sign him has been completely missed.

It's hard to imagine which entertainment company could sign Shen Can now; even Huayi Brothers probably wouldn't have that ability.

Admittedly, he could sign artists by spending money, but given that Shen Can earns millions for every song he writes, he's not short of money.

Shen Can couldn't be chosen, so what could be done about it?

Unbeknownst to Cai Yinong, Shen Can was thinking, "This money is too easy to make."

The price he agreed on with Tsai Yinong was 30 per song, and according to Shen Can, this was a friendship price, a price he was paying for his friendship with Shi Shi and for his friendship with Tsai Yinong.

Shen Can explained that he originally needed at least 50 yuan to write a song, but out of respect for Shi Shi and Cai Yinong, he could reduce the cost by 10 yuan per person, so it was 30 yuan.

Tsai Yinong praised him for his magnanimity and generous personality, and thanked him.

In fact, Shen Can didn't even think about it; he planned to directly redeem the songs from the original Chinese Paladin 3 TV series from the system.

Furthermore, he still retains control of the copyrights. While it may seem like he only earns 30 per song, in reality, he earns at least 10 times that amount per song.

.

Furthermore, because this drama is a childhood memory for countless people, the songs from "Chinese Paladin 3" are frequent visitors to various music charts, and all of these songs can be used as retirement insurance.

It's worth noting that Zhang Yunjing sings "Preference" almost every time she performs at a commercial event.

"Should we pack the background music together?" Shen Can asked confidently.

Cai Yinong waved her hand and said, "No need for that, I'm going to ask Mai Zhenhong to help."

Mai Zhenhong is the author of the divine songs such as "Peach Blossom Island", "Mother Earth" and "Never Forget" from the first game of Chinese Paladin.

Shen Can thought to himself that it was a pity.

However, if he wants to borrow one or two of the iconic songs from Chinese Paladin 3, that's fine too, because the music production for the characters in the series is done in sync with the filming of the drama.

The song just needs to be produced before the TV series is filmed.

Shen Can has his eye on "Xue Jian Falls to Earth" and "Long Kui Waits for a Thousand Years," which are the character soundtracks for Xue Jian and Long Kui, respectively.
