Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Chapter 119 An Unexpected Invitation

After finishing the publicity campaign on Beijing TV, Shen Yan finally got a vacation.

What about who "The Vigilantes in Masks" was sold to and where it premiered, and how much "The World Is So Big, I Want to See" sold?

None of this has anything to do with him!

He just wants to take a good rest for a while.

However, before he can officially take a vacation, he has to go back to school first.

You have to retake the exam.

Yes, he didn't take the final exams in his junior year at all. The school knew he was busy, so they specially postponed them until the beginning of the new semester.

After finishing the makeup exam, Shen Yan had a meal with Lao Gao and the others, and then flew directly back to his hometown.

take a vacation!

Even the King of Heaven has to take a vacation!

"what?"

On the third day after returning home, Shen Yan was helping his mother pick vegetables when he suddenly received a phone call from Yanjing.

"No, Mr. Luo, I'm just so surprised. I didn't expect you to recommend me."

"I'm free, I'm definitely free."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely be there on time the day after tomorrow."

"Thank you, Mr. Luo."

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow, bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan was still a little stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing him like this, his mother, who was picking vegetables nearby, asked him a question.

"Going out?"

"Um."

Shen Yan snapped out of his daze and continued helping to pick the bok choy.

"I have to go to Yanjing the day after tomorrow for a job."

"Work again?"

"Hmm, Mom, I might write a song for a movie."

"What movie is so important that you had to make a special trip to Yanjing?"

"Well."

Shen Yan hesitated for a few seconds before uttering a few words.

"The Founding of the Party"

"what?"

Zhou Yan's eyes widened, and the bok choy in her hand fell into the vegetable basket with a "plop".

"What movie?"

"The founding of the Party." Shen Yan repeated it again.

To be honest, he never expected that he would have any connection with this movie.

After all, he was just a small karami.

So what if it's fire?

What does popularity matter when it comes to a film of this caliber?

He never expected that Luo Liping would recommend him.

Although Hualu Baina has a state-owned background, Luo Liping is also the producer of "The Dream of the Red Chamber".

I know Li Shaohong and Han Sanping.

but.

He and Luo Liping had only met once.

It seems the other party genuinely likes the song "What Can I Use to Keep You Here?" Otherwise, why would he recommend Shen Yan when the two are not related?

You know, people are scrambling to get on these kinds of movies.

Whether it's writing songs or performing them, the sense of presence is much stronger than playing a minor role.

That evening, after learning about the incident, Lao Shen opened a bottle of Wuliangye liquor that had been stored for ten years.

drink!

Two days later.

Shen Yan returned to Yanjing and went to Huairou with Luo Liping.

Filming for the movie began last month at the Huairou Film and Television Base.

"Xiao Shen, don't feel too pressured."

On the way to the base, Luo Liping offered a few words of comfort.

"We received many submissions for the movie's theme song. The directing team didn't consider age or seniority; they only looked at the quality of the work."

"Moreover, even if your work is ultimately selected, it is a collective decision by the directing team. You don't need to care what others think; just do your job well."

"Thank you, Mr. Luo."

"Go for it! Don't be nervous, I believe in you."

Luo Liping chuckled.

Then, he briefly explained the current state of the film to Shen Yan.

Besides meeting with the director team and reviewing the script, I also have another reason for coming to Huairou.

Play a minor role.

Shen Yan plays a progressive young man. He doesn't have many scenes, just a few shots, and two days on set is enough for him.

In film production, it's normal for a few shots to take two days to film.

After all, Shen Yan wasn't the lead actor, and his star power wasn't high enough, so he didn't have the authority to ask the director team to adjust the shooting schedule.

soon.

The car arrived at the Huairou Film and Television Base, a place Shen Yan had visited only a few times in both his lives.

In his previous life, he mainly worked in Hengdian World Studios, but he retired from the entertainment industry after only a few years.

Following the flow of traffic into the vicinity of the film set, and looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going, Shen Yan felt a unique atmosphere.

Lively.

The same is true for Hengdian now.

With the promulgation of the "Cultural Industry Revitalization Plan" and the IPO boom of film and television companies, capital from all walks of life is pouring into the film and television industry.

A moment later, Shen Yan and Luo Liping arrived at the filming location with the staff. As they approached, the two stopped talking at the same time.

Filming is underway on site.

Unlike television dramas, most films use live sound recording, while television dramas rely more on dubbing.

Therefore, a relatively quiet environment must be maintained when filming on a movie set.

but.

Shen Yan's arrival still attracted the attention of some people.

It's too popular.

In the past two months, there are probably few people in the entertainment industry who are more popular than him, and he became popular too quickly.

Not far away, Huang Jue saw Shen Yan and his heart stirred.

Although it was his first time meeting Shen Yan, he had been paying attention to Shen Yan for a long time.

In the 90s, Huang Jue abandoned everything to become a "Beijing drifter," not initially aiming to become an actor, but rather pursuing his rock and roll dream.

Later, by a twist of fate, he entered the entertainment industry and became an actor.

Noticing Huang Jue's gaze, Shen Yan also looked over, and then he nodded slightly.

That was a tribute to the predecessors on the same track.

Back when Huang Jue was down on his luck, Zhou Xun subsidized him with various forms of financial assistance, not only buying him musical instruments but also strongly recommending him to the director for the role in "Baby in Love".

That's a movie!

Despite being cast as the male lead in the early 2000s, Chen Kun, an artist under Rong Xinda, ended up playing the second male lead.

Huang Jue, a newcomer with no acting experience, actually played the male lead.

After that, his emotional entanglement with Xu Jinglei was also earth-shattering.

Even though Huang Jue later became a bus driver in "The Beginning", he definitely deserves a place in the list of the first generation of male gods in Beijing.

"Pass!"

A short while later, with Han Sanping's shout of "Cut!", the film set came alive.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet Chairman Han."

Luo Liping patted Shen Yan on the shoulder and walked towards the production team first.

"Chairman Han, that scene you just directed was brilliant. The camera work and the emotions were perfectly captured."

He would start by praising her upon meeting her, and then Luo Liping would begin his introduction.

"This is Shen Yan, a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy."

"Hello, Chairman Han."

Shen Yan greeted him politely.

He didn't call him "senior brother" because Han Sanping is also a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, having graduated from the 83 Directing Training Program.

However, the two are too far apart in age.

Besides, whether they acknowledge it or not is another matter.

"Haha, hello, hello."

Han Sanping didn't put on airs and nodded with a smile.

"I've heard of you before. That song of yours is very well written; it's powerful and profound."

If "What Can I Use to Keep You?" hadn't already been released, Han Sanping would have wanted to snatch it away.

The main match is very high.

"Like passing by/missing one by one" perfectly captures the faces that appear briefly in history and then quietly disappear.

"Come again and again / let go time and time again" reflects the repetitiveness and cruelty of history, how many people try again and again, only to fail time and time again.

"Laughing and shouting" – the laughter represents the passion and sincerity of idealism, while the shouts represent the anger and cries in the face of darkness. Paired with the lens of May Fourth Movement youth, it's quite fitting.

"Scenes flash by, piercing me," which can be paired with historical images flashing back one after another, and the impact is definitely not bad.

There are many similar lyrics and images.

pity.

It has already been sent.

Such an important project cannot be done with a song that has already been released.

Although Han Sanping felt that the possibility of Shen Yan writing this kind of song again was very low, after all, excellent works require more than just talent.

There is still an opportunity.

However, he still agreed to Luo Liping's recommendation.

What if?

As for the cameo role assigned to Shen Yan, that was not important.

It's just a matter of a word.

Han Sanping didn't care about Shen Yan's scandals at all. He dared to use Tang Wei, let alone Shen Yan.

Besides, didn't the World Expo use it too?

The censorship there is even stricter than that for movies.

If Shen Yan really had any problems, that promotional song would have been taken down long ago, instead of still being played on various radio stations in Shanghai.

After a few brief pleasantries, Luo Liping led Shen Yan away from the film set.

There was no dramatic scene involving a sudden, overwhelming impact.

In Shen Yan's eyes, Han Sanping was just a powerful figure in the film and television industry.

Yes.

It's just a little bit.

With so many mothers-in-law, how much power could they possibly wield?

However, no matter how much power they wield, it has nothing to do with Shen Yan.

If he really wanted to curry favor with someone, he had countless options.

Shen Yan has no need to curry favor with anyone.

Too tired.

For Han Sanping, Shen Yan was just a good newcomer.

That's it.

It's good to be able to write good songs, but what if you can't?

That doesn't matter.

There are so many candidates; it doesn't have to be just any particular person.

A moment later, Luo Liping introduced Shen Yan to the on-site producer, the scriptwriter, and others before leaving.

Immediately.

Under the arrangement of the film crew, Shen Yan and Zhang Dandan checked into the hotel one after another.

hum!

hum!

I had just booked the room when I received a text message from Sister Xia.

You really went to Huairou?

【/picture】

Shen Yan took a picture of the script cover and sent it via MMS.

then.

the phone is ringing.

There's no need to even look; it's definitely still Sister Blind.

"Feed?"

"You really went? Who are you playing?"

"Xie Shaomin, a Yenching University student during the May Fourth Movement."

"Well."

On the other end of the phone, Sister Xia was silent for a few seconds, and then a series of rapid keystrokes came through.

"Oh, it's him. I know him, I've seen him before—"

"Cough cough."

Shen Yan coughed lightly.

"Liu Shishi, next time you look up information, remember not to use a mechanical keyboard. Your keyboard is almost smoking from all that typing."

Upon hearing this, Sister Xia blushed.

Depend on!

What a crappy keyboard!

The sound was so loud!

I'll throw it away as soon as I get back!

"When are you coming back?"

The blind woman abruptly changed the subject and resorted to her charm.

"I miss you."

"It might take a few more days."

Shen Yan said frankly, "After filming this, I need to go home to celebrate my grandfather's birthday and spend a few more days with him."

"Oh well."

Liu Shishi responded softly. Actually, she wanted to ask herself if she could go, but then she swallowed her words.

too fast.

"You could do some research," Shen Yan smiled. "By the time I get back, it'll be almost time to go to the Maldives."

"it is good."

When the topic of travel came up, Sister Xia immediately forgot about her trip to Luzhou, and then she added a sentence.

"I'll give you a surprise then."

"What surprise?"

"If I told you, what kind of surprise would that be?"

Liu Shishi chuckled: "You'll find out when the time comes anyway. That's all for now. I won't disturb you while you're reading the script. Do your best in your performance."
