Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

At 2:30 p.m., the main creators of "The Weaver Girl" – the director, screenwriter, and main cast – were all present in the large conference room on the first floor.

As the company's boss, Cai Yinong started by speaking, spouting platitudes, motivational rhetoric, and empty words.

soon.

The reading session has begun.

The director and screenwriter first shared their motivations for creating the work, as well as some filming details of important plot points.

Then came the main characters, who shared their personal experiences in order of their billing in the drama.

Shen Yan was very bored.

There are too many logical flaws in "The Weaver Girl".

It's absurd that the general, the princess, and the palace maid could meet so often!

The Song Dynasty was indeed the worst of the worst, but even within the palace, there were rules and regulations.

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.

How could these characters, with such different identities and genders, possibly meet frequently?

Furthermore.

The idea of ​​a marriage alliance was just something the screenwriter came up with on a whim.

Although the Song Dynasty suffered a major loss during the Jingkang Incident, it was all looted.

During the reign of Emperor Tianshui, a large number of weaklings emerged, but no marriage alliances were ever formed.

Zhao Zhen once considered it, but the idea fizzled out before it could be put into practice.

Even if he were to bring this up, those big critics from Emperor Renzong's reign would surely tear him apart.

Anyway, Shen Yan felt that this reading session was meaningless.

Besides, his acting skills are decent.

It's hard to say about movies and dramas; it depends on the actor's state of mind and how well they fit the role.

Speaking solely of idol dramas, it falls into the category of being well-suited to the genre.

Overall, it's not great, but it's not terrible either. In most cases, it's just average, and there's nothing particularly wrong with it.

If you're in a good state and get into character, you can occasionally have a burst of energy.

If it's out of 100, it fluctuates around 70.

At this moment, Shen Yan was thinking about what would happen that evening.

After lunch, he went back to his room for a nap.

The signal was given, but Zhang Junning hesitated to take action.

There are only two possibilities in this situation: either she's not interested, or the timing is wrong.

Regardless of which type of older sister she was, Shen Yan had already made preparations in advance, specifically buying two bottles of red wine and several dozen beers.

I also bought family planning supplies.

We'll see tonight for details.

"Shen Yan, please explain your analysis of Fang Ning."

At this moment, Li Guoli called out Shen Yan's name.

"Okay, Director Li."

Although Shen Yan was slacking off the whole time, he did keep a bit of attention. If he was caught, he would say that he was creating and working on the theme song and ending song.

"I personally think that Fang Ning's true nature is pure and devoted. He is the second young master of Dafang Dyehouse. He has a wealthy family background and has no spoiled habits. He is gentle and kind to others."

"There were several major turning points in his life."

"He was the warm and caring type in the beginning."

"A warm-hearted man?" Li Guoli asked in surprise.

"It refers to a warm, sunny man who is considerate, attentive, gentle, and understanding."

After more than a decade of separation, Shen Yan inevitably made some mistakes in his word choices.

"I recently read a novel on Jinjiang called 'Mary Sue Case Report,' and the protagonist, Lin Yang, is like a little sun, so I came up with this term myself."

"Um? 』

Liu Shishi's eyes flickered slightly; the Mary Sue case report triggered her keywords.

Her favorite things to do online are surfing the internet and reading gossip, and reading online novels. She's a seasoned expert on Jinjiang Literature City.

She's currently following this novel.

Very sweet.

Lin Yang, he really is!

The term "warm man" is a good description.

"Okay." Li Guoli raised his hand and said, "You can continue."

"OK."

"Fang Ning's first change was when Qiao'er entered the palace, but this was not a major turning point; it was just that she didn't have time to express her love."

"The real turning point was the appearance of Lin Mufei. Fang Ning discovered that Qiao'er had fallen in love with someone else. During this period, although he was jealous, he maintained his dignity and competed fairly."

"Then came the second major turning point: Fang Ning risked his life to save Qiao'er, but was severely injured by Zhao Zhe, leaving him crippled in both legs and unable to have sexual intercourse."

"At this point, he wanted to let go but couldn't bear to, so he used her kindness as leverage to force her to marry him."

"Fang Ning's domestic violence against Qiao'er later stemmed from his inferiority complex and jealousy. Perhaps he also wanted to take the opportunity to force Qiao'er to leave if she couldn't accept the domestic violence. That would be a relief for both of them."

"That way, the two of them won't have to torment each other until they grow old."

"That's a great idea!"

Lin Yufen clapped her hands.

"Once filming starts, you can follow this line of thinking to portray the character. Just like you said, the underlying nature of Fang Ning is pure and kind."

As she spoke, Lin Yufen's inspiration surged forth like a torrent.

"By the way, we can add a scene later showing Fang Ning in pain after the domestic violence incident. That way, the transition when Fang Ning chooses to die together with Zhao Zhe later will be more natural."

The domestic violence scene was written by Lin Yufen. To be honest, she didn't think that much about it when she wrote it.

Her main focus is on Qiao'er, portraying her as gentle, kind, and loyal.

Despite being frequently subjected to domestic violence, Qiao'er is unwilling to leave Fang Ning, whom she doesn't love. Is that enough loyalty?

The reading session lasted from 2:30 pm to 8 pm, and included script analysis and task assignment.

The work schedule has also been released.

After the meeting ended, everyone went their separate ways. Shen Yan returned to his room, waiting for his older sister who might arrive, while remotely discussing music arrangement, music video shooting, and promotional strategies with Hu Yanbing.

Before the digital age, record companies had their own complete industry chain.

Radio, MTV, newspapers, magazines, etc. are all channels for publicity. But nowadays, how many people read newspapers and magazines?

Nobody watches MTV anymore, nobody requests music.

Aside from singers' fans, few people pay attention to things like the Oriental Billboard, the Chinese Music Chart, the Southeast Pop Music Chart, or the China Music Chart.

Most casual listeners access songs through the internet.

Marketing on platforms such as the four major portal websites, Baidu MP3, Qianqian Music, QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Kuwo Music is key.

Shen Yan's strategy was simple.

free!

Why bother with charging for digital music? Two yuan per song is too high a barrier. What he wants is fame; he doesn't care about the meager earnings from albums.

However, Hu Yanbing advised him not to do so.

Does he not want it to be free?

It's the record company that doesn't allow it. Singers can disregard the money from records and earn money through commercial performances and endorsements, but record companies can't.

Music copyright is the foundation of a record company's business.

If they actively promote that it's free, it's tantamount to standing against the record company.

In Hu Yanbing's words, doing things this way is not conducive to future development.

Boom!

Boom!

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Shen Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"Soldier, someone's here. I have something to take care of here. We'll talk about the publicity strategy later."

He finished speaking.

Without giving Hu Yanbing a chance to speak, Shen Yan hung up the QQ video call.

I walked quickly to the door, opened it, and was greeted by a refreshing scent after a shower—a mixture of shampoo and shower gel.

"Sister Junning, welcome, welcome."

Shen Yan understood that he had already taken a bath, so he was very enthusiastic.

"Your room is very clean."

After entering the room, Zhang Junning looked around and gave a brief comment.

"It's actually a bit messy."

Shen Yan pointed to the computer desk.

"It's a mess over there."

Are you creating art?

Taking a few steps closer, Zhang Junning saw the Cubase interface and blinked.

"Will this bother you?"

"How could that be?" Shen Yan said with a smile. "In ancient times, there was the saying 'a beautiful woman adds fragrance to one's life.' With such a beautiful woman like you by my side, even if it's a disturbance, it's a positive one."

"You have a sweet tongue."

Zhang Junning seemed to be implying something, then changed the subject.

"May I listen to it?"

"sure."

Shen Yan nodded, and then made the suggestion.

"Would you like some wine?"

"You have alcohol in your room?" Zhang Junning smiled subtly.

"Yes, I drink some sometimes; it helps to inspire creativity."

"Then let's have some drinks."

A moment later, Zhang Junning took a sip of Penfolds 407 and exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you sober now?"

"yes."

Shen Yan swirled his wine glass.

"I felt you'd come tonight. Would you call that telepathy?"

"I think we should use the phrase 'premeditated'."

Zhang Junning put down her wine glass, her eyes glistening with tears, and smiled warmly.

What do you think?

"Of course, it's up to you."

Shen Yan smiled frankly, his eyes revealing his undisguised desire.

"After all, it depends on whether Sister Junning gives us a chance."

"hehe."

Zhang Junning's gaze was fixed on Shen Yan's face, and she smiled charmingly.

"Don't let me down."

No, it won't.

Shen Yan moved closer, and she understood perfectly. She stood up slightly, and when Shen Yan sat down, she was sitting right in his lap.

Next, the two enjoyed the songs and drinks.

What happened next was a natural progression.

The only downside was that, I don't know if she had drunk too much or what, but the older sister sang a little too loudly.

Ok?

In the next room, Liu Shishi was groggily awakened by the noise. At first, she thought she was hallucinating.

Listen carefully.

I wasn't hallucinating; it was coming from next to me, and the woman's voice sounded familiar.

No?

So they've already gotten started?

Pooh! Pooh! Pooh!

How dare you speak so loudly!

and also!

You've only known each other for a few days?

Less than two days!

Sure enough, the atmosphere on the island is very open; there's no sense of shame at all.

And Shen Yan too!

Who is it?

This person was so easily lured away.

I was so blind!

and many more.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Liu Shishi's head.

Shen Yan just broke up with his girlfriend, right?

Based on the descriptions in the song, it seems like the person was "dumped"?

then.

Zhang Junning took advantage of someone's vulnerability—no, she took advantage of their weakness.

No, why should I explain it to him?

What does it have to do with me that they're together?

Despite thinking this way, Liu Shishi tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

She was kept awake by the noise during the first half of the night.

That's insane!

It lasted from around 11 p.m. until 2 a.m., with three breaks in between. Just as she was about to go to sleep, the "demonic sound" started again.

Things calmed down after that, but she couldn't fall asleep.

How do you sleep?

She thought about it a lot, a lot.

I've thought about everything.

The inner tube has been replaced.

Finally, around 3 or 4 a.m., she couldn't resist the drowsiness any longer and drifted off to sleep.

The next day.

Liu Shishi was woken up by the alarm clock. As we all know, lack of sleep can easily make people irritable.

But she couldn't bring herself to become irritable.

I need to get up early to do my makeup; there's an opening ceremony in the morning!
