Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Unlike many interview programs that use probing questions, Cao Kefan, the host of "Kefan's Listening," rarely deliberately makes things difficult for or pressures his guests.

Before participating in the recording of the program, Shen Yan recalled the rumors circulating about him.

I forgot who gossiped with him.

Both "Tonight 80's Talk Show" and "Jin Xingxiu" were secretly ousted by this squinty-eyed man.

He was treated like a son by the station.

Regardless of whether those rumors are true or false, Cao Kefan's professional skills are indeed quite good; even Shen Yan's performance video in a livehouse during his university days has been dug up.

They've done their homework thoroughly and have some skills.

However, "Kefan's Listening" also has an obvious problem.

The overall pace was too bland and boring, with no exciting moments to ignite discussion.

When the conversation turned to topics related to rumors, Shen Yan felt it was time to change the pace; otherwise, the show would become too boring.

"You're labeled a 'playboy' and 'womanizer' online, and many strangers only recognize these labels and don't know your work. Do you feel disappointed?"

"To be honest, I felt a little helpless when I first saw it, but now I'm completely at peace with it."

Shen Yan smiled calmly.

My current attitude is: those who understand me don't need explanations, and those who don't understand me, why bother explaining?

That's an interesting statement.

Cao Kefan nodded inwardly and continued to ask.

"So what's your view on love?"

"Liking is unrestrained, loving is restraint."

Shen Yan said frankly.

"When I meet someone I'm attracted to, I will approach them openly and honestly, without hiding anything or being bothered by public opinion."

But I will always remember my bottom line of restraint. I give my all to every relationship, and even if we break up, I will say goodbye with dignity.

……

In short, it means not dwelling on the past, living life to the fullest, and not fearing the future.

Upon hearing this final summary, Cao Kefan followed up with another question.

"Being in the entertainment industry, celebrities' private lives are magnified infinitely. With your straightforwardness and honesty, how will you face the criticism later?"

"You can never wake someone who's pretending to be asleep." Shen Yan shrugged. "I've long since figured it out. Some people just want to insult you, no matter what you do or say, they'll still insult you."

Following that, Cao Kefan asked a few more trivial questions, and the interview, which lasted for more than four hours, finally ended around 8 p.m.

Shen Yan declined Cao Kefan's invitation to a late-night snack and hurriedly left Oriental TV Station.

in a hurry!

The older sister took a day off specifically to learn from the experience.

A few days ago, the filming of "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" moved to Suzhou. Upon learning that Shen Yan had a job in Shanghai, the older sister took leave and rushed over.

After not seeing each other for so long, she felt that her complexion and skin condition had deteriorated significantly.

Shen Yan rushed to a hotel next to Century Avenue, arrived at the designated floor, and just as he raised his hand to knock on the door.

The door opened immediately.

then.

A pair of delicate hands pulled him inside forcefully.

Another battle.

Meanwhile, Cao Kefan remained at the station to review today's interviews. After watching them from beginning to end, he suddenly realized that Shen Yan was indeed very carefree.

He carefully wrote down all the sentences he thought were brilliant and had to be included in the final cut in his little notebook.

After watching the last few minutes of footage, he glanced down at his notebook.

Those who understand me need no explanation; those who don't understand me, why bother explaining?

Liking is unrestrained, love is restraint.

Do not dwell on the past, live life to the fullest, and fear no future.

You can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.

[Attracted by looks, captivated by talent, loyal to character]

A relationship is only meaningful when both parties are actively involved.

These few words were both assertive and highly individualistic, and he had a feeling that the ratings and discussion surrounding this episode would definitely not be low.

Will the discussion level be low?

Shen Yan was unaware, but the intensity was real.

"You have a girlfriend?"

After taking the medicine twice, the older sister looked at Shen Yan with a quiet gaze.

Very dissatisfied.

less.

Far from enough.

"Um."

Shen Yan readily and openly admitted it.

What can't be said?

"Liu Shishi?"

Clearly, the older sister keeps up with entertainment news.

"right."

"It's so nice to be your girlfriend."

The older sister didn't say much, she just leaned gently against him.

Shen Yan remained silent.

There's no way to respond to that.

After a while, the older sister took the initiative to break the silence.

"No, you stole my heart, I'll steal her body!"

Who secretly... stole my heart?

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan suddenly thought of the song "Stealing Hearts" and hummed a line softly.

"Huh?" The older sister paused, "You've got another flash of inspiration?"

She remembered clearly that Shen Yan had told her that he was particularly prone to inspiration at that time.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't take these peculiar little quirks seriously.

There are many artists in the industry with unique habits. My brother's hobby is neither illegal nor does it affect others, so what's the problem?

"Sister, this is a song by Zhang Xueyou."

"Huh? Zhang Xueyou?"

"Yes, The Heart Thief, released in 94."

"You have a really wide range of music tastes."

The older sister chuckled and continued serving herself.

Although the night is long, it is only one night, or more accurately, ten hours. If you deduct the time for rest, it is only a few hours.

In other words, his body improved after being reborn. In his previous life, Shen Yan might not have been able to withstand it.

At last.

The two switched rooms.

The older sister booked a suite, with one room for sleeping and the other room also for sleeping.

……

The next day.

Before leaving, the older sister was reluctant to leave and wanted to come one more time. After she left, Shen Yan was both amused and exasperated.

What the hell has this become?

If it weren't for the fact that she's at her peak, in that infatuated state, I would have dumped her in a heartbeat.

After taking a quick shower, Shen Yan carefully cleaned up all traces before leaving.

The scene was too chaotic.

The sheets and towels were all thrown into the bathtub filled with water to soak.

He only left after completely erasing all traces.

Back to Hengdian!

His scenes are almost finished. In about ten days, he should be able to finish filming and then officially start promoting his new album.

the other side.

On her way back to the film set, the older sister repeatedly examined herself with the makeup mirror she carried with her.

The true elixir of rejuvenation.

I went to bed so late last night, and I've been working late into the night recently, but my dark circles have actually disappeared.

If every day...

What should I do?

The scene was beautiful, but would you really have to fight and snatch from the little girl?

She wasn't worried about losing the argument, but rather about angering Shen Yan.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Having experienced this all-natural, side-effect-free method, how could I ever go back to the way things were before?

No.

You can't do that.

Not only that, she also had to keep it a secret. She didn't know if Shen Yan would be locked up if it were exposed.

but.

She was certain of one thing: she would definitely not get a share of the prize.

Unfortunately, she didn't have much cooperation with Tangren Media, otherwise she could have met her sister first and gotten to know her better.

After thinking about it for a long time, she stopped thinking about it.

Headache.

She wasn't the only one with a headache.

Yu Zheng was also having a terrible headache at that moment.

Huanrui suddenly withdrew its investment. Although it found new investors in time, all the directors had run away!

He has worked with Li Huizhu and Huang Junwen on "The Beauty of the Country", as well as Wu Jinyuan, the director of "Beauty's Rival in Palace" and "Locking Up the Autumn".

They're all unavailable!

They all politely declined!

The words conveyed a certain meaning.

Don't contact me anymore, I'm afraid Cai Yinong will misunderstand.

Directors Wu Jinyuan, Li Huizhu, Huang Junwen, Lin Yufen, Liang Shengquan, and Wei Hantao are all core members of Tangren Media's long-standing team.

Previously, Li Huizhu, Wu Jinyuan, and Yu Zheng collaborated for only one reason.

make money!

The Tang people didn't have any work for them, so they couldn't just sit around doing nothing and let their savings run out.

Now?

Tangren Media has two upcoming projects scheduled to begin filming this year: "Scarlet Heart" and "Love O2O". In addition, "Zhu Xian", "Swords of Legends" and "Xuan-Yuan Sword" are also about to be launched.

With five TV series under his belt, each a big-budget production costing over 3000 million, where would he find the time to take on other projects?

of course.

Their rejection of Yu Zheng was not simply out of sentiment.

After Tangren Media initiated its shareholding reform, these elderly people will become shareholders of the company. Look at Huayi Brothers after it went public; the directors and stars who invested have all seen their wealth multiply.

Who could remain unmoved?

Cai Yinong was willing to give them shares for two reasons: first, she wanted to keep these directors firmly in check; second, Li Guoli's wavering attitude was also related to them.

His family and apprentices were all whispering in his ear.

Who can stand this.

After making a round of phone calls, Yu Zheng's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

What?

This is a real headache. It goes without saying what a director means to a film or television series.

The key point is that "Palace" is a light-hearted comedy-style period idol drama. Apart from the directors of Tangren Media, there are very few directors on the market who can handle this kind of subject matter.

How about we find a director from mainland China?

The thought had barely formed in his mind when Yu Zheng dismissed it. It wasn't that he looked down on mainland directors, but rather it was a matter of style.

Mainland directors don't like this kind of unconventional subject matter. Even if it's a fictionalized historical drama, it has to have the authentic feel of "Kangxi's Private Visits".

When it comes to idol-themed content targeting young audiences, Hong Kong and Taiwanese directors are still better at handling it.

Suddenly.

A candidate popped into Yu Zheng's mind.

Tan Youye!

He is a Hong Kong director who has worked at TVB and ATV. He has directed works such as "Young Hero Fong Sai-yuk", "The Detective Fong Sai-yuk", "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", and "My Date with a Vampire III".

He is a versatile person.

She can handle both period dramas and modern dramas well.

Moreover, he is a director from Hong Kong, specializing in short, fast, and efficient filming.

suitable!

Perfect!

Although Yu Zheng has never worked with Tan Youye, the entertainment industry is a small world, and "Beauty's Rival in Palace" is still airing!

As long as Tan Youye is available, he is confident that he can bring the other party over!

Pah!

Without Tang Ren as the butcher, how could he still eat hairy pork?

Upon learning that Tan Youye was available recently, Yu Zheng immediately took the murder mystery game script to Hong Kong without hesitation.

Meeting and negotiations were completed in one go!

He finalized the director appointment in just one day, and then he made a phone call to Chen Guohua.

Although Chen Guohua could not shoulder the heavy responsibility of the chief director, Yu Zheng was well aware of his abilities after working with him many times.

He's more than qualified to be a second director.

Having secured the director and investors, Yu Zheng immediately began promoting "Palace".

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

He also changed the female lead's name to "Qingchuan," a homophone for "time travel to the Qing Dynasty"!
