Chapter 206 Taking Shishi to see "Apple"

In the TV series "Chinese Paladin 3", the background music used when Long Kui sacrificed herself to the sword was not "Long Kui's Thousand-Year Waiting", but "Xue Jian Falls into the Mortal World".

Shen Can thought that the background music for Xuejian's character, which was used for Longkui, had a strong internet entertainment spirit.

Moreover, the song "Xue Jian Falls into the Mortal World" remains the pinnacle of soundtracks for fantasy dramas even 26 years later, and is difficult to surpass.

He simply explained his thoughts to Tsai Yinong directly.

"You're going to create the character music for Xuejian and Longkui?" Tsai Yinong's lips curled up. "You like Chinese Paladin 3 that much?"

Do you like the drama or the older sister?

When Cai Yinong spoke, her eyes looked at Shi Shi, her gaze full of profound meaning.

"Sure, you can give it a try first. This drama will only start preparations after Director Li finishes filming 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' and the official start of filming is expected to be next summer. Oh, by the way, since you're going to do the music for Xuejian and Longkui, why not produce Zixuan's music as well? Shishi might play Zixuan."

When Cai Yinong spoke, she emphasized "Shishi".

The honey trap is incredibly effective.

This caught Shen Can off guard. The character Zi Xuan didn't actually have her own background music in the Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 TV series, but she did have it in the game, with the song titled "Soft Water".

However, this didn't stump him.

For background music in fantasy dramas, just grab whatever Mak Chun-hung can provide.

In another fantasy drama, "The Journey of Flower," Mai Zhenhong composed a song called "Scar," which is full of a sense of destiny and is very suitable for Zi Xuan. Even the song title doesn't need to be changed.

Hua Qiangu's scars are on her face, while Zi Xuan's scars are deep in her heart.

A love affair spanning three lifetimes broke her heart.

Shen Can nodded slightly to Cai Yinong, which was considered as agreeing to the matter.

"The main event—let's talk about the pay." Cai Yinong clasped her hands together, watching Shen Can's expression closely, and her own expression also became serious.

After in-depth discussions between Shen Can and Cai Yinong, the final fee was set at 4 yuan per episode.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 has a total of 37 episodes, which means the actor's salary was around one million.

Shen Can was satisfied with the pay. Although Cai Yinong hadn't told him explicitly, he had researched the relevant information when he was writing the novel.

The salaries of the main actors in Chinese Paladin 3 were: Hu Ge 40,000 yuan/episode, Yang Mi 30,000 yuan/episode, and Shi Shi 20,000 yuan/episode.

When Huo Jianhua starred in Chinese Paladin 3, he was a top idol drama actor in Taiwan. During that time, his TV drama salary remained at 80,000 per episode, making him the highest-paid actor in Chinese Paladin 3.

Although she only received half of Huo Jianhua's salary, she was new to the film and television industry, and being able to receive the same salary as Hu Ge was still considered quite good for Cai Yinong.

Shen Can values ​​the long-tail effect of this drama.

Xu Changqing can become his representative role, and he can also carefully follow the filming process of a regular film crew, which will be very helpful for him to become a director in the future.

Why do so many entrepreneurs lose all their money?

Anyone who has watched Yong Ge's catering videos knows that there are "hidden dragons and phoenixes" everywhere. Most entrepreneurs really don't know anything. They just make a snap decision, feel that a project can make money, and start doing it, investing hundreds of thousands of yuan at a time.

When they saw that the place was deserted, they were dumbfounded and quickly sought help from Brother Yong.

The key point is to be realistic and pragmatic!

Shen Can learned from their mistakes.

At the end of the in-depth conversation with Tsai Yinong, she smiled and said, "I have something else I need to ask for your opinion on. I originally planned to hold an online poll for casting the characters from Chinese Paladin 3."

Now that you've joined us, how about I first officially announce your casting as Xu Changqing online, and then we'll start the casting call? That way, we'll likely get more attention, and the results will be much better.

"No problem." Shen Can nodded. "You can handle this yourself, sister. If you want me to have a romantic storyline with Shishi, I won't object."

Essentially, this event was a warm-up for the filming of Chinese Paladin 3.

Shishi glanced at Shen Can and smiled with her lips pursed.

At 4:05 PM, Shen Can and Shi Shi left Tangren together.

"Are you free later?" Shishi asked Shen Can.

"There shouldn't be anything else today. I finished writing the novel update this morning, and I'll have all the necessary discussions done this afternoon," Shen Can said, glancing at the sky.

It was gloomy, cloudy, and windy; it looked like it was going to rain.

"How about we go for a walk?" Shishi blinked and suggested.

"Let's go," Shen Can said casually.

-

This woman, like Gao Yuanyuan, is also a Beijing native, working hard alone in Shanghai. She must be quite lonely.

Shen Can recalled that on the Lantern Festival in 24, someone photographed her spending it alone in Italy. 576 was not by her side, nor did they celebrate publicly. Only Yang Mi sent her blessings.

Even after marriage, I am still lonely.

An hour later, all Shen Can could think of was, "Going shopping with girls is such a tiring job, even an ox plowing a field wouldn't be this tiring."

He accompanied Shishi to dessert shops, snack shops, clothing stores, and cosmetics stores—they had all been there.

At this moment, he and Shishi were in a store that mainly sold claw machines, and Shishi, in a childlike mood, started playing the claw machine.

"Ah-chan, I caught it! Look! Wow—"

Shishi excitedly grabbed Shen Can's arm.

To avoid being recognized by others using their real names, the two discussed it and decided to use nicknames for each other. Shi Shi calls Shen Can "A Can," which is the same nickname she used in the short video, while Shen Can calls Shi Shi "Chi Chi."

Shishi had no objection to the nickname, and even said that Shen Can was very perceptive, as he had guessed that she was a foodie.

Just kidding, Shen Can isn't a nobody in the online novel writing industry. Besides nicknames like "Poetry Master," "Poetry Treasure," and "Blind Sister," Shi Shi also has another nickname: "Foodie," known as "Liu the Eater."

Liu Haha is because she loves to laugh, and Liu Chichi is because she loves to eat delicious food.

"Wow, that's amazing." Shen Can put on her acting skills and clapped.

Of course, Shishi is indeed amazing. He just spent more than ten coins and didn't catch a single one, while Shishi seemed to have caught one in just five.

Shen Can felt that claw machines were definitely his lifelong enemy.

He has a lot of skills, but they are useless against this thing.

How can there be such evil things in this world?

"Haha————" Shishi laughed happily, proudly raising her fair swan neck.

It turns out that even someone as strong as Shen Can has areas where he is not good at something.

Shen Can glanced at Shi Shi's expression and recalled how Yuan Hong had said that Shi Shi's Long Kui look was his ideal type.

In response, netizens commented, "What kind of talk is that? Isn't she our ideal type?"

Forget about her acting skills, just tell me if she's pretty or not? What more could you ask for?

Shen Can also wanted to try something different.

"I'm bored. Anyone want to keep me company? Come on, come keep me company!"

Shen Can and Shi Shi continued shopping for a while when it suddenly started raining. The two took shelter in the mall and found a fish hot pot restaurant, which was also Shi Shi's favorite.

After dinner, seeing that it was still early, Shishi suggested, "I saw a movie theater upstairs, shall we go see a movie?"

It seems that playing with Shen Can made her happy.

Shen Can raised an eyebrow, instantly becoming interested.

"A movie was just released in theaters a few days ago, and the reviews are pretty good."

"You're not referring to that movie starring Fan Bingbing, are you?" Shi Shi looked at Shen Can, her expression suddenly turning strange.

I heard this movie is a bit explicit.

Actually, it doesn't matter if the content is explicit, but wouldn't it be a little awkward to watch it with Shen Can?

"Just consider it learning from the senior's acting skills." Shen Can stood up, looking serious, with clear eyes.

The movie he and Shishi were going to see was "Apple," the movie starring Bingbing and Tong Dawei.

As mentioned earlier, in a certain Chinese entertainment novel, the protagonist, weighing several hundred pounds, harasses various female celebrities. The book opens with him watching the film *Apple* in front of Fan Bingbing, his breathing rapid and his eyes completely absorbed – practically face-to-face!

Apple was released on November 30, 2007.

In recent days, online discussions about this film have continued to increase, with much controversy but also high popularity.

Fan Bingbing's skill in acting in erotic films has left countless young men feeling overwhelmed, with many netizens commenting online that they were furious while watching.

Shishi also stood up, looked at Shen Can with a puzzled expression, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Didn't you say online that your heart is ice-cold?"

Shen Can said with a melancholy look, "You know how the entertainment industry is. Without resorting to extreme measures, when will you ever make it big? I'm already very lucky to have achieved what I have today."

It's said that some actors with masculine appearances actually got their roles by selling their bodies.

"Is that so? It must have been really tough." Shishi resonated with this sentiment, looking at Shen Can with genuine emotion.

To the untrained eye, celebrities appear glamorous, but the industry is a complex and murky place.

She suddenly felt a little sorry for Shen Can. He presented himself as someone who loved his sister and was always having fun, but deep down, was he really willing to do that?

Maybe he didn't have a choice at all.

"He's lucky, but I bet he's also exhausted." Shishi gazed at Shen Can.

Twenty minutes later, Shishi's heartache for Shen Can vanished instantly.

"Hahahaha—tell me, what do you want to do?"

Shishi looked at Shen Can and couldn't help but laugh, but it was a laugh of anger, so angry that she wanted to hit him.

Okay, she took back her sympathy. This man's madness wasn't an act; he really was mad!

At this moment, in screening room number 7, the movie was about to start, but only about half of the people in the entire theater were seated.

But Shen Can, despite having so many empty seats, actually bought a seat in the last row.

The reason they were described as being deeply in love is because Shishi saw that as soon as the couple sat down, the man's hand reached inappropriately behind the woman's back.

It's easy to imagine what the couple will do once the lights in the theater are turned off.

The key issue is that the movie they're going to watch later is "Apple," and Shishi strongly suspects that Shen Can is doing this on purpose and has ulterior motives towards her.

"I don't want to do anything?" Shen Can laughed.

"Then what are you laughing at? I don't believe you."

"Your smile is contagious."

"Ha ha----"

"Look how good the view is from the last row, and there are fewer people there. I'm just afraid of being spotted."

"I see—" Shishi pursed her lips, drawing out the last syllable.

It's obvious they still don't believe it.

Just then, all the lights in the theater went out, and the movie began to play.

Shen Can turned his head and glanced at the couple four seats away. The two were already kissing passionately, and they didn't care at all about Fan Bingbing appearing on the screen.

"Young people are—youth."

Shen Can glanced back at the high-mounted camera behind him, thinking to himself that the person watching the surveillance was probably saying, "Wonderful."

After watching the movie for a while, as it reached its climax, the massage parlor owner, played by Tony Leung Ka-fai, discovered the drunk Bingbing. Driven by lust, he decided to make a move on her, and decadent music began to echo in the theater.

Shishi watched for a while, then felt too embarrassed to continue reading. However, she couldn't stop Bingbing's soft moans from reaching her ears, so she turned to look at Shen Can, and their eyes met.

Because Shishi was wearing a mask, Shen Can couldn't tell whether she blushed or not.

"It's all your fault for bringing me to see this kind of movie," Shishi whispered in Shen Can's ear.

"It's serious, otherwise the authorities wouldn't have allowed it to be released." Shen Can looked completely innocent.

Just as Shishi was about to retort, she felt her right hand being held, and the warm hand warmed her cold hand.

Who else could it be but Shen Can?

She glanced at Shen Can, hesitated for a moment, and did not pull her hand away.

Shen Can is a staunch supporter of Jackie Chan's theories on picking up girls, and he strongly agrees with Jackie Chan's statement, which roughly means that if a woman won't even let you hold her hand, then you shouldn't waste your time.

Just then, the movie showed Tong Dawei's character working high up outside the wall, only to discover that his wife was having an affair, which made him extremely angry!

Afterwards, Bingbing returned home, where her husband, played by Tong Dawei, lashed out at her and then forced her to have an in-depth conversation.

It's another passionate scene.

"Um----"

Shishi's face flushed red, and she was so embarrassed that she dug her big toe into the ground.

This movie is only suitable for watching alone late at night when everyone is quiet; it's not suitable for watching with others at all.

Although she had seen this kind of movie before, watching it with Shen Can was still too much, too scary!

This was even more infuriating than when she tried to act cute and innocent in the short videos a few days ago. She couldn't help but squeeze her legs together, and damn it—she actually had a reaction.

"Sister Chichi, would you like to try another kissing scene?"

At that moment, Shen Can suddenly leaned close to her ear and fired a straight shot.

Upon hearing Shen Can's words, Shi Shi was slightly taken aback, her breath catching in her throat.

Goodness, your younger brother really dares to ask questions.

"I don't want to." Shishi couldn't help but lick her lips. "Aren't you afraid of being found out?"

You can't just listen to half of what a woman says. The fact that Shishi said that last sentence shows that she actually thought about it.

Sometimes, it's hard to kiss a girl, but if you've kissed her before, it's much easier to break through.

After all, it's not the first time.

This is why divorced couples often end up sleeping together.

Shen Can smiled slightly: "I have my own brilliant plan."

Shen Can whispered a few words in Shi Shi's ear.

A dozen seconds later, Shen Can and Shi Shi moved their masks over their eyes, covering the upper half of each other's faces.

Shen Can learned this trick from Tong Dawei.

The actor covering the upper half of his face looks like Tong Dawei, right?

Then, as the passionate scene between Bingbing and Tong Dawei continued to play on the screen, Shen Can reached out and put his arm around Shishi's slender waist, quickly getting close to her. His lips touched her warm, soft skin, and then he broke through her defenses again, tasting her sweetness.

He could feel Shishi's breathing become rapid.

Perhaps because the mask covered her eyes, or perhaps because this time it wasn't in public, Shi Shi's response was more intense and more passionate.

Not far away, the boy in the couple saw this scene and was instantly shocked, his eyes wide and his mouth agape.

Although the couple's faces were obscured by the darkness, their upper faces were visible, covered by masks.

"Wow, that's impressive, and you even have a romantic side?"

He suddenly felt incredibly weak.

The rain stopped after the movie ended.

Shishi felt completely dazed; what happened tonight was just too crazy.

She kissed Shen Can, and more than once.

"I—I should probably go home now," Shishi said.

"You should go home early too. You have so many songs to write, you must be very busy," she made up an excuse for herself.

After all, she was a bit older than Shen Can, so how could she possibly run away just because she kissed Shen Can?

It must be because Shen Can is very busy!

It's his fault!

Shen Can didn't expose her, he just smiled. He knew that this matter could only be touched upon briefly, and he couldn't be too hasty. Haste makes waste.

"I'll take a taxi to send you home. It's not safe these days. You'll be safer with me by your side."

Shishi hummed in agreement, without refusing.

Shen Can escorted this aloof and elegant woman to the gate of the residential complex before taking a taxi home.

the next day.

Shen Can continued to work, composing songs and writing novels.

At the same time, Tangren acted quickly, officially announcing that Shen Can would be playing Xu Changqing, and released a video of Shen Can's audition.
