Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Chapter 135, "My Love from the Star," but it's the movie version.

Hengdian.

On his first day back on set, Shen Yan attended a dinner party.

The group was led by Xiao Tang.

"Brother Yan, let me toast you."

Zhang Ruoyun stood up, holding her wine glass, and said politely.

You're too kind.

Shen Yan also stood up. He knew what the other party was thanking him for: introducing Xiao Tang to the resources for the second female lead.

"I'm just giving her a casual recommendation, mainly because her appearance and temperament are suitable."

At this moment, not only did Sister Xia know that Tang Yixin was Shen Yan's ex-girlfriend, but Zhang Ruoyun also knew that Shen Yan was Xiao Tang's ex-boyfriend.

In the entertainment industry, this is actually quite normal.

It's not awkward to talk things out openly; what's worrisome is the attempt to cover things up, because the more you try to hide it, the more guilty you seem.

As for why Zhang Ruoyun, who is older than Shen Yan, still calls him "brother" all the time, that's just custom.

"When people are about the same age, whoever is more famous is the older brother." Shen Yan had been in the entertainment industry before, so he was immune to such titles.

Besides, it's just a title; it doesn't mean anything.

The current situation of taxi drivers is similar to the future situation of teachers everywhere.

Look at Wen Zhang, he's already a grandfather.

After a round of toasts, regardless of whether the toasts were sincere or not, the atmosphere at the table became at least a bit more harmonious. In fact, Zhang Ruoyun was also very curious about Shen Yan.

This person became famous way too fast, it's more outrageous than a rocket.

It's really scary.

Of course I feel envious, but I wouldn't call it jealousy. Others become famous because of their talent; we're not even in the same league.

However, looking at Shen Yan, he couldn't help but recall what had happened a few days ago.

On the day Volkswagen Scirocco officially announced its brand ambassador, Wen Zhang, who was filming the TV series "Black Fox," was furious.

According to crew members, the other party was swearing loudly inside the RV.

At first, Zhang Ruoyun didn't know what was going on, but after inquiring, she realized it was related to the event held at the beginning of the year.

With the triple success of "Struggle," "Dwelling Narrowness," and "Snow Leopard," and the addition of Li Lianjie as his godfather, "Brother Wen's" fame and status have skyrocketed.

If all goes well, "Brother Wen" might get an endorsement deal. Even if he doesn't get the Scirocco, getting a Volkswagen joint venture model would be great.

Now, there's no hope at all.

of course.

Zhang Ruoyun didn't tell anyone these things, not even his girlfriend.

Xiao Tang didn't know, and Shen Yan knew even less. Even if he did know, it wouldn't matter.

There are only so many resources in the industry. If you take them, others won't be able to. How can you avoid offending people?

After the meal, Shen Yan's opinion of Zhang Ruoyun changed considerably. The young man was good at handling things, knew how to behave, and was very generous.

Good.

They are infinitely better than those celebrity offspring who have terrible parents.

Moreover, his acting skills are passable. Even if they are not as good as his fans say, they are not bad among actors of the same generation.

"Little Tang is good."

X

After the show, on the way back to the Little White Building, Sister Xia linked arms with Shen Yan and couldn't help but chirp.

"Their standards for boyfriends are almost as high as mine."

"Are you sure you want to hold me like this?"

Shen Yan glanced down at her. Although the two of them were wearing hats and masks, this was Hengdian.

Paparazzi everywhere.

"What, are you scared?" Blind Sister raised her head, her words full of provocation.

"What am I afraid of? Aren't you afraid that Sister K will turn around and smash your dog head in? Then go ahead and hug her."

Shen Yan wasn't afraid at all; he simply glanced at Zhang Dandan not far away.

The assistant went to check for landmines again.

"Also, you'll have to reimburse Dandan for the red envelopes she sends out later."

"I'll report it!" the blind woman said smugly. "I have plenty of money."

As December arrived, Apple's stock price hit a new high, reaching $320 per share.

"If a rich person hears you say that, they'll laugh their heads off."

Shen Yan patted her head.

"The little bit of money you have isn't even enough for someone to buy a house."

"What does this have to do with me?" the blind woman retorted confidently. "No matter how much money others have, they don't give me a single penny."

the other side.

Zhang Dandan, who was clearing mines, had already sent out ten red envelopes, totaling three thousand yuan, which were gone in the blink of an eye.

However, we didn't encounter any difficulties.

The paparazzi who took the photos all deleted them without hesitation.

The main issue is the rumors between Shen Yan and Liu Shishi, which netizens have long been tired of. It's not like an official announcement, but it's more like one, and even though it's been exposed, it hasn't generated much buzz.

Instead of doing that, why not accept a red envelope and earn some extra money?

Moreover.

Shen Yan has a decent relationship with paparazzi in the industry. When they meet in private, he will answer any questions he can and never puts on airs.

It's not worth holding a grudge.

However, if Shen Yan were with Gao Yuanyuan instead, it wouldn't be a matter of a few hundred yuan; it would be several thousand times more.

If you're ruthless, demanding tens of thousands of times more is normal.

soon.

Shen Yan and Xia Jie returned to Xiaobailou. Just yesterday, the film crew moved from Shanghai to Hengdian.

In "Love O2O", some of the online game-related scenes were filmed in a green screen studio, while others were filmed on location.

Because it's cheaper to take photos in person.

Ten years later, most films and television dramas choose to be filmed in studios because technological advancements have reduced the cost of special effects production, making studio filming cheaper.

Back in his room, Shen Yan took a shower first. While his sister was showering, he turned on his computer to check his emails.

I opened my email, and there were a bunch of red dots.

He first opened the email sent by Ryan Ted.

After listening to the attached audio file with his headphones on, Shen Yan nodded in satisfaction and casually replied to an email.

【Perfect!】

During the filming in Shenhai, the preliminary arrangement work for several songs was completed, leaving only the mixing work.

The finished product sent today is so flawless that even professional monitoring headphones couldn't detect any defects.

After replying to Ryan, Shen Yan opened the email sent by Gu Man.

The first draft of the script is complete; please see the attachment for details.

Shen Yan glanced down and saw a file titled "Love Across a Thousand Years" attached to the end of the email.

Upon opening the file, the first line of the script came into view.

[In the autumn of the fourth year of the Dazhong Xiangfu era of the Northern Song Dynasty, a fiery meteor streaked across the southeastern night sky. The local county annals record: "That night, a star as large as a dipper fell, its light illuminating a hundred miles, and it landed on the shady side of Jiufeng Mountain."]

"What is this?"

Suddenly, the voice of Sister Xia came from behind. Shen Yan turned around and saw that she had just finished drying her hair and was staring at the laptop screen like a curious child.

"A script."

Shen Yan said frankly.

"Not long ago, I came up with an idea and asked director Xue Xiaolu to help expand it into a script. Gu Man is assisting Director Xue on that end."

"The director of 'Ocean Heaven'?"

Clearly, Sister Xia knew her too.

"Um.

""

Shen Yan nodded and continued reading the script.

Although the script is called "Love Through a Millennium", its core outline is actually "My Love from the Star".

As for why they don't make TV dramas?

the reason is simple.

It won't pass the review.

The concept of "alien" or "superhuman" characters is almost taboo in Chinese dramas, appearing only sporadically in children's shows.

The reason why "My Love from the Star" became a hit across Asia is precisely because of its basic premise, such as "an alien with superpowers who has lived for 400 years".

Without these premises, the appeal of the whole story would be greatly diminished.

If we insist on following the original setting, unless we have extraordinary connections, there is virtually no chance of it passing censorship.

Back when "My Love from the Star" was introduced to China, the aliens were changed to a fictional character created by the novelist.

and so.

Shen Yan simply turned it into a movie.

In fact, there is an unspoken rule in domestic censorship.

The wider the reach and the lower the audience threshold, the stricter the standards.

TV dramas are free content for all ages; anyone can watch them as long as they have a TV.

Therefore, the review process is the most stringent.

Movies are different.

It requires a ticket to enter, creating a hidden barrier, even if pirated online resources are available later.

However, there is a prerequisite for going online.

First, you need a computer; second, you need some search capabilities.

This naturally filters out a large number of people.

Similarly, some professional magazines that require paid subscriptions tend to have a wider range of content than publicly published ones.

In short.

Small-scale transmission?

you can!

Large-scale proliferation?

That requires a case-by-case analysis.

It's the same principle with "what household" and "Freud Peak": if they're not popular, then just turn a blind eye.

After glancing at the script twice, Xia Jie snuggled into Shen Yan's arms again, rubbing against his chest while looking at the script.

"Aliens, from a sci-fi movie?"

"I'd say it's a sci-fi romance film."

Shen Yan gave her a general overview of the plot.

"Simply put, it's about an alien who's been stranded on Earth for a thousand years. Just before he finally gets the chance to return home, he suddenly meets the female lead, and then a series of events unfold."

"myth?"

The blind woman naturally thought of the movie "The Myth".

"The inspiration did indeed come from Mythology."

Shen Yan nodded, which was also the reason why he stretched four hundred years to one thousand years.

"However, the plot is completely different. This male protagonist has all sorts of superpowers, such as time-stopping, teleportation, and precognitive dreams. Moreover, he is allergic to enzyme proteins in human saliva. He will go into anaphylactic shock upon contact, and in severe cases, he may even die."

"Does that mean we can't kiss anymore?" Sister Xia keenly grasped the key point.

"Yeah, right." Shen Yan chuckled and pinched her nose. "Think about it, you'd risk your life just to kiss someone, isn't that romantic?"

"That----"

The blind woman's eyes darted around, and she suddenly leaned close to his ear.

"What about sex? And what about XX and XX?"

"Ugh!" Shen Yan looked disgusted and flicked her forehead. "How can you be so filthy? Your mind is full of lewd thoughts."

"You're the one who's dirty-minded!"

The blind woman reached out and pinched him, then huffed defiantly.

"I'm pointing out plot holes for you! Be more careful, you know!"

"Stop messing around, let me finish reading the script first."

Seeing that the blind woman's hand was reaching for something she shouldn't, Shen Yan snapped and interrupted the spell.

The blind girl pouted and stopped causing trouble. She obediently leaned against him and read the script with him.

A moment later, seeing Shen Yan rapidly scrolling the mouse wheel, Sister Xia panicked; she was completely engrossed in watching!

"Slow down, slow down, don't skate so fast."

"Who told you to watch it so slowly?"

Despite saying that, Shen Yan slowed down.

It has to be said that the female director and screenwriter really understand women.

Based solely on the few hundred-word outline provided by Shen Yan, Xue Xiaolu and Gu Man expanded the script to be six or seven parts similar to the original "My Love from the Star".

The male lead's charm is almost entirely preserved, while the female lead is dramatic, arrogant, and her contrasting behavior in private is also hilarious.

The only downside is that the movie was turned into a TV series, and all the unnecessary subplots were cut.

Only the main storyline of the male and female leads, as well as the scenes of the villain and the second male lead, were retained.

As Shen Yan watched, he wondered what the box office would be like if the film could pass censorship and be released smoothly.

On second thought, he stopped worrying about those things and decided to just make the film regardless of the box office results.

If South Korea wants to film "My Love from the Star" again in the future, they'll either have to obediently buy the rights from them, or the "My Love from the Star" project will be canceled immediately.

Damn it!
