Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Zhu Xian?

How did this notebook end up here?

Although Shen Yan didn't know who the original copyright holder of "Zhu Xian" was, there was one thing he was certain of.

What connection do Tang Ren and "Zhu Xian" have?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shen Yan look up at her with a surprised expression, Cai Yinong was speechless.

"Is there anything strange about it?"

"K-sister, is Jade Dynasty your new doujinshi?"

"Um."

Cai Yinong nodded slightly.

"I bought it from Huanrui, the same Sanhe Film & Television that invested in 'The Golden Era', for more than 300 million yuan."

"More than three million?"

Shen Yan commented softly.

"It's alright, not too high."

"It's more than three million."

Cai Yinong said it as casually as possible.

"You probably haven't been watching the news much lately, have you? A few days ago, NetEase Games held a press conference in Yanjing for the game 'Gu Jian Qi Tan'."

In addition to the game release, NetEase Games also announced the start of development on a TV series of the same name.

Tangren Media is one of the partners. In the future, Tangren Media will jointly develop "Gu Jian Qi Tan" with Huanrui Media. Only then did Huanrui Media sell the copyright of "Zhu Xian" to me.

"How about it? Am I good enough to you?"

"K-sister is awesome!"

This was a heartfelt compliment from Shen Yan.

Damn it!

Xiao Ding, that old scoundrel, has messed up the Legend of Mir!

You're just a lousy novelist, what do you know about "Zhu Xian"?

Yes.

Shen Yan mentioned the novel "Zhu Xian" more than once in Tangren Media, but he mentioned it less often after his rebirth.

However, it's no secret that he likes "Zhu Xian".

That's why Cai Yinong said, "I'm good to you, aren't I?"

Cai Yinong went through several rounds of twists and turns to buy "Zhu Xian," which was certainly partly due to Shen Yan, but not entirely because of him.

Once the equity swap is completed, with the injection of new funds, Tangren will be completely transformed.

She wants both "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and "Zhu Xian"!

The reason for bringing in Huanrui to co-develop "Gu Jian" was to share the risks.

Even if Tangren had a large sum of money, it couldn't withstand such forced fabrication.

We need to find someone to share the burden.

After a while, seeing Shen Yan flipping through the script outline of "Zhu Xian", Cai Yinong asked with a smile.

"Looks like you're going to choose Jade Dynasty?"

"Yes, this is it!"

Although "Eternal Love" was a huge hit, even more popular than "The Legend of Chusen," money can't buy what I want.

When choosing a script, you should definitely choose one you like!

Moreover.

Launched in 2010, "Zhu Xian" was developed by Tangren's old team, and the final result may not be worse than "Three Lives Three Worlds".

"OK."

Cai Yinong was very generous, waving her hand in a grand gesture.

"Then you should play the male lead, Zhang Xiaofan, so your fans won't keep chasing me and cursing, saying that Tangren is mistreating you and not giving you resources."

"Uh, really?"

"Have you gone back and checked Weibo?"

Cai Yinong replied irritably.

Pack!

Still putting on!

……

Shenhai.

"What?"

When Yu Zheng received a call from He Jin, the general manager of Hunan Economic Television, he almost jumped up.

"Mr. He, are you saying that H&R Century Pictures is going to withdraw its investment?"

"It's not a withdrawal of investment."

On the other end of the phone, He Jin spoke unhurriedly.

"It's a slow tempo, a gentle tempo."

"What do you mean?"

Yu Zheng was very dissatisfied with this perfunctory attitude.

A year ago, you, He Jin, could call me "Xiao Yu".

Now?

"Beauty's Rival in Palace" has become a huge hit on local TV stations, even setting viewership records in many places. What should you call me?

"Mr. Yu, Ms. Zhong from Huanrui will explain. She should contact you later. I have a meeting to attend to, so let's talk later."

After saying that, He Jin hung up the phone.

If it weren't for the fact that it's a TV series called "Beauty's Rival in Palace," she wouldn't even have made that call.

Who is she?

Behind it is Hunan TV, the dominant satellite TV station.

Even if "Beauty's Rival in Palace" became a hit, or even if Yu Zheng had three hit dramas in a row, she would still be the one in charge.

He's the big spender.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Hearing the dial tone, Yu Zheng's breathing became noticeably more rapid.

What does that mean?

He even sewed up the script for "Palace"—no, I mean, he wrote it all out, and he also contacted the actors. But then...

Are you not going to film anymore?

No wonder, no wonder Huanrui has been contacting us less over the past month.

He had found it strange before.

Now everything is clear.

hum!

hum!

Just as he was sulking, the phone rang, and he glanced down at it.

It was a call from the owner of H&R Century Pictures.

"Hello, Mr. Chung?"

"Mr. Yu, there's something I'm a little embarrassed to say, but I need to discuss it with you."

Chung Chun-yen's tone was very polite.

"The investment in 'Palace' may have to be put on hold for now, but rest assured, we will definitely invest once the funds are available."

"You can't hit someone who's smiling," Yu Zheng suppressed his displeasure and pressed on.

"May I ask what the reason is? Of course, if it's a trade secret, it's fine if Mr. Zhong doesn't tell me."

"What secrets could there be between you and President Yu?"

Chung Chun-yen said with a smile.

"Did you hear about the press conference for 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' held in Yanjing a few days ago, Mr. Yu?"

"I heard they're going to launch a system with the same name..."

As he spoke, Yu Zheng realized what was happening.

"Wait, Mr. Zhong, could it be that H&R Century Pictures is developing Gujian?"

"We at Huanrui don't have that kind of ability."

Chung Chun-yen continued speaking with a smile.

"It was developed in cooperation with Tangren Media; they were the main force."

At this moment, although Yu Zheng broke into the mainstream with "Beauty's Rival in Palace" and Lin Xinru also became popular again because of this drama, in Huanrui's eyes, Tangren is obviously more powerful.

Didn't you see Yu Zheng poaching people from Tangren?

Hey!

Upon hearing this news, Yu Zheng cursed inwardly.

No wonder.

No wonder Huanrui wanted to "run away"; yes, in their eyes, this is what running away is all about.

Damn it.

Anyone who believes a promise to definitely invest in the future is a fool!

"Congratulations, Mr. Zhong!"

I gritted my teeth and angrily offered my blessings.

"I wish your new drama great success. I hope we can work together again in the future."

"Thank you, definitely. You'll definitely contact us when you have the chance."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yu Zheng hung up the phone.

boom!

The next second, he smashed his phone against the wall.

Gan!

Snob!

Ta Miao's.

Without Huanrui, would "Palace" have never been filmed?

How is that possible!

With his current reputation, he could find investors in no time.

then.

He retrieved the phone.

Nokia is really sturdy; it still works.

He called Cao Zhe of Zijun Film & Television, the main investor in "Beauty's Rival in Palace".

"Good, good, Mr. Cao is very agreeable!"

"Okay, I'll bring the script to you tomorrow."

In less than five minutes, Yu Zheng secured investment from Cao Zhe, and all that remained was to sign the contract.

Cao Zhe actually entered the film and television industry quite early, starting in 01. However, after nearly ten years in the industry, "Beauty's Rival in Palace" is her most successful investment.

none of them!

Therefore, she thought highly of Yu Zheng.

A gap of ten million?

She voted!

After hanging up the phone, Yu Zheng felt relieved.

Cool!

With the money from Zijun Film & Television, Hunan Economic Television will most likely follow suit with further investment.

You're from Tang Dynasty, right?

Yu Zheng snorted coldly.

He's definitely going to claim the title of the number one time-travel drama set in the Qing Dynasty!

Even Jesus couldn't stop it!

……

Shenhai.

Shen Yan had no idea about the relationship between the brat and Huanrui and Zijun Film & Television.

Whether Huanrui invests in "Palace" or not has absolutely nothing to do with him.

The first time-travel drama set in the Qing Dynasty?

It has nothing to do with him.

Even if Tangren Media fails repeatedly and goes bankrupt, it won't have much to do with him. At most, he'll just have to move to a different location. The only thing he needs to focus on is one thing.

With Tangren down, he has to start using reverse manipulation on his new employer again.

He never considered starting his own business.

Too tired.

What is the purpose of those actors, directors, and producers organizing their own events?

Money, of course.

To secure a project, they would beg and plead, bowing and scraping. As long as it worked out, they would be willing to drink with clients, play games with them, and even sleep with them.

However, Shen Yan is not short of money.

Why be a pushover for a little money?

Being happy is the most important thing.

"Welcome, welcome."

Upon arriving at Shanghai TV Station, a chubby man with a simple and honest appearance greeted me with a smile.

"I've long admired your name, Shen Yan. I am Cao Kefan."

"Hello."

Shen Yan smiled and extended his hand.

"Teacher Cao, I've long admired you."

After exchanging compliments, the two walked into the TV station side by side, and Shen Yan received a lot of attention along the way.

Nearly two months later, upon returning to Shenhai Beach, Shen Yan noticed a striking change.

At this time.

He recalled the "joke" that Zhang Dandan had mentioned before.

If he were in Shanghai, he would practically be considered a local now.

In terms of fame alone, he is more famous than most local artists.

The song "Welcome To Shanghai" is incredibly popular; people ranging from eighty-year-olds to young children may not even know who he is.

But you must have heard this song before.

It is truly a household name.

Shen Yan even suspected that if he held a concert at the 80,000-seat stadium, all the tickets would sell out.

Although the stadium doesn't actually have 80,000 seats, it usually seats 30,000 to 40,000 people.

At its absolute limit, it can accommodate 50,000 people.

As of 2010, very few singers were able to hold a solo concert at an 80,000-seat stadium.

In 2003, Jay Chou held his first concert, which attracted 30,000 people. However, he did not sell tickets; all the concert tickets were paid for by sponsors.

Then the sponsors give them to the customers for free.

When other singers perform here, most only offer 30,000 tickets, not 50,000, for fear of not selling out.

For example, in 2003, Nicholas Tse's solo concert at the 80,000-seat stadium was reduced from 30,000 to 20,000 seats.

Ticket prices were reduced by 6% before they sold out.

For example, in 2007, EE-Media held a "EE-Media 3rd Anniversary Marathon Concert" in a venue with 80,000 attendees. This concert brought together three seasons of Super Girl and Super Boy contestants, totaling more than 40 people, and was full of hype.

but.

The scene was very quiet, setting a record for the fewest spectators in an 80,000-seat stadium, with only 10,000 tickets sold.

As the show was about to start, many scalpers were selling tickets for '10 yuan' or '5 yuan'.

From 1998 to 2010, only four singers performed at an 80,000-seat stadium with a capacity of 50,000.

Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Xueyou.

Jay Chou.

Zhang Huimei.

Among them, Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong were the only two singers to have two sold-out performances at the 80,000-seat stadium.

Other artists such as Li Wen, Xiao Yaxuan, Liu Dehua, F4, S.H.E., Mayday, Celine Dion, SM Family's 08 Shanghai concert, and Sun Yanzi, did not fill the venue.

If Shen Yan were to hold a solo concert now, taking advantage of the Expo's popularity, he reckons he should be able to compete with Zhang Xueyou and Zhang Guorong.

Two full stadiums in a row?
