Entertainment: The Era of the Cantonese Circle

After revising the script for "Night at the Museum," Chen Yunfan went to see Mayor Li of Guangzhou.

After reading the script, he nodded in satisfaction, "This script is good. It brings together historical figures and facilitates cross-generational exchanges."

"There are two problems. One is supernatural abilities, but that's not a big problem. If we go for mythology and fantasy, mythological movies can pass censorship now. The problem lies with some characters."

Chen Yunfan specifically pointed to the character Sun in the script.

"His problem is actually not that big. He was a figure from before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his influence now leans towards history and culture. Our script itself is about promoting culture, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"However, Sun's image needs to be more dignified and positive, like a highly respected elder. If it's too dramatic, it will attract a lot of criticism."

"That's absolutely no problem."

In "Night at the Museum," Roosevelt is portrayed as a dignified elder who guides and mentors the protagonist. However, the ambiguous relationship between him and a female character needs to be changed.

"The name 'museum' is so obvious, which museum are you planning to use as the background?"

"Is there even a need to look for it?"

In response to Chen Yunfan's question, Mayor Li immediately thought of that museum, but he deliberately said it was a different museum, "The one in Beijing?"

Chen Yunfan smiled and went along with him, saying, "Uncle Li, I don't mind if you use this as a background."

The one in Beijing was doing alright in recent years, but after the scandal involving the world's top private clubs broke in 11, it was ridiculed as everyone having one.

No, those who are truly in the know already know some of the inside information, especially people like Mayor Li who are in charge of culture in big cities.

The Guangdong Provincial Museum is quite good, though. It has few scandals, is free, and is down-to-earth. It even exhibits poached chicken, making it a great museum for ordinary people.

Of course, in the eyes of professionals in cultural relics and history, the Guangdong Provincial Museum is somewhat lacking, lacking depth and cultural heritage... and doesn't have a single piece of yours.

"We certainly won't promote other museums if we're paying for it; we'll promote our own Guangdong Provincial Museum no matter what. It's just that the Guangdong Provincial Museum is a bit outdated, and the new museum is still under construction in Zhujiang New Town."

Mayor Li suggested, "Why don't we build a set for the new theater at the film studio?"

Chen Yunfan shook his head, "No need, the old building is enough. We can leave information about the relocation at the end. If the movie is well-received, the second movie can be about the new building."

"You even thought of doing a second part for the new building. It was definitely the right decision to hire you; your ideas are so flexible."

......

After leaving Mayor Li's side, Chen Yunfan contacted Jing Tian.

She was shopping, shopping on Yanjing Road, not Yanjing Road in Beijing, but Yanjing Road in Guangzhou.

It's not that this road is strange in Guangzhou, but rather that it's located near where he is, just a few minutes' walk away.

Yanjing Road in Guangzhou is a very bustling street in Guangzhou, with people coming and going.

Although the street was crowded, Chen Yunfan walked along it without a care, because he thought that not many people would recognize him. However, as soon as he got to this side, he was recognized by a handsome local guy.

"You're not that...that handsome Chen from 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back'?"

Chen Yunfan has lost count of how many times he's missed his real name on the street, yet he still manages to win the "handsome guy" award. This time, he even added his surname to give him a more distinctive look.

"Chen Liangzai, you've been making headlines lately. 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back' grossed over 20 million yuan on Monday and Tuesday alone, bringing the total box office to nearly 200 million yuan. These past few days, the news in Guangzhou has been all about Stephen Chow or you."

Since they were walking anyway, Chen Yunfan started chatting with the other person, "Have you gone to see it?"

"Yes! I saw it, and I even took my parents to see it. They both said it was good."

"We watched it too!"

Several handsome young men nearby recognized Chen Yunfan as he approached.

"Some scoundrels in Hong Kong say that Guangdong films are no good. Our films may not be good, but we have a big market. Of the nearly 200 million in box office revenue, almost 70 million comes from Guangdong."

"Exactly, can a small place like Hong Kong achieve this kind of box office in five days? And they're unwilling to come here, feeling that coming here would lower their status. What high status do they have?"

"In the past, we wouldn't criticize each other for not having movies, but now we have Chen Liangzai. His movie 'Monkey King: Hero Is Back' proves that we do have movies."

"Recently, Chen Liangzai has also produced two TV series and two movies, which proves that we still have talented people here, and they are all handsome. For example, I am slightly better than Chen Liangzai."

vomit!

Everyone else looked like they wanted to vomit. Chen Liangzai is a real handsome guy, you're just joking.

"Chen Liangzai, haven't the Guangzhou News recently reported that many film and television companies are coming here? Will many celebrities come to Guangzhou in the future?"

Chen Yunfan laughed and said, "Yes, you must give them a big gift in the future."

"What wonderful gift?"

Without Chen Yunfan needing to explain, some people guessed, "Foolish, just send our highest blessings, everyone who comes is handsome or beautiful."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Many handsome guys laughed. No matter how ugly you are, you're guaranteed to be called "handsome guy" or "pretty girl" here.

No luck? Then go to the market. I guarantee the aunties and uncles will say, "Handsome young man, beautiful young woman, today's vegetables are very fresh, come and take a look."

"By the way, Chen Liangzai, you've been getting really badly criticized by the Hong Kong media lately. I wouldn't have known what was going on if I hadn't read the Guangzhou Daily's criticism of their unscrupulousness. Don't worry, Liangzai, I'll go online and give them a piece of my mind."

"Those unscrupulous media outlets in Hong Kong are just dogs, barking for no reason. Now they even dare to insult our handsome guys. Tonight, we'll go back and rally all the handsome guys in Guangzhou to beat them to a pulp."

"Yes, let them see how many handsome guys we have in Guangzhou, we'll melt their hearts in no time."

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and uttered foul language.

It's rare to see such a handsome guy in our local area, so of course we have to protect him.

"Everyone, there's no need to be so angry."

Chen Yunfan tried to calm these handsome young men who looked ready to fight.

If you dressed them in battle robes, T-shirts, and jeans right now, and added the lyrics "That justice is invincible," they could probably take over Causeway Bay without a problem.

Just then, Chen Yunfan walked over to a milk tea shop and said, "Come on, it's fate that we met. I'll treat you to milk tea."

"real?"

Chen Yunfan laughed and retorted, "So, do you dare to drink it?"

"Others might not dare to drink it, but what makes you, Chen Liangzai, afraid to drink it?"

After he made that invitation, someone shouted that there was a handsome guy here who would buy milk tea.

Many pedestrians were already wondering if this group of people who looked like Brother Hao Nan were going to attack someone, but it turned out they were just being treated to milk tea. Shouldn't they hurry up and come over?

Those handsome young men who initially followed Chen Yunfan were quite enthusiastic, enthusiastically introducing Chen Yunfan and promoting "Monkey King: Hero Is Back".

No matter how much you vehemently criticize those unscrupulous media outlets in Hong Kong, please go home and go online to expose them.

"Did I end up with a bunch of handsome mercenaries after just one cup of milk tea?"

How do you gain fans? Isn't it just like this?

However, he's not an idol, otherwise this would have been a great marketing opportunity.

"Brother Fan!"

After paying the bill to the milk tea shop owner, Chen Yunfan wanted to leave quietly, but someone wouldn't let him. Jing Tian suddenly appeared out of nowhere and patted him on the shoulder.

"Didn't we say we'd wait up ahead?"

"I came to see what was going on here, and I didn't expect to see you."

Jing Tian peeked into the bubble tea shop, blinked at Chen Yunfan, and said, "You're treating everyone to bubble tea, but not me?"

"If you're not afraid of what people will say, then go ahead and order it."

"What did you say?"

Before Chen Yunfan could reply, someone spoke up for Jing Tian, ​​asking, "Handsome guy, is this your girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, many people looked at Jing Tian.

"She's quite pretty."

"It looks somewhat familiar."

"It's that kind of thing that's too painful to bear."

"What do you mean 'can't afford to be hurt'? It's that the pretty girl who tricked the handsome guy in the honey trap, who would have thought that you two would develop feelings for each other while you were trying to trick him."

With her constantly mentioning her girlfriend, Jing Tian blushed slightly, secretly glancing at Chen Yunfan.

If these handsome guys kept talking, they'd even bring up children, so Chen Yunfan stepped in to explain, "Ahem, everyone, please don't talk nonsense. She's my friend, and we'll be collaborating on this project soon."

"I understand, I understand!"

Many handsome young men glanced back and forth between Chen Yunfan and Jing Tian, ​​giving them knowing looks.

Jing Tian's face flushed as she was stared at, but she felt a strange joy in her heart.
