Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Filming period dramas is especially troublesome; you have to get up very early to do your makeup and wear a wig.

Those wigs were all made of real hair and glued onto the head. First, a hair cap was used to cover the actor's hair, and then the stylist put the wig on the actor.

The weather is alright now; the temperature in Hengdian has already dropped in November. If it were summer, it would be much better to film period dramas there.

One word: torture.

It took Shen Yan more than half an hour to finish applying his makeup.

He doesn't really like wearing makeup. It's just a TV series, not a movie, so he can appear on camera without makeup.

but.

The directing team and costume designer insisted that he wear makeup.

"very good."

Seeing Shen Yan after his makeup was done, makeup artist Lu Ruilian nodded in satisfaction.

"He has the air of a young master from a prominent family."

Lu Ruilian has worked with many big names, including Jackie Chan, Xu Ke, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Guorong, Chow Yun-fat, Jet Li, Li Jiaxin, and other well-known Hong Kong artists.

She was also the makeup director for Tangren dramas such as Chinese Paladin 1 and Chinese Paladin 3.

"Teacher Lu, you're amazing."

Shen Yan didn't hold back his praise; Lu Ruilian's makeup team was indeed quite skilled, as his original eyebrows and eyes were rather sharp.

After the makeup team worked on it, it became much softer and more gentle.

"It's because you have a good foundation."

Lu Ruilian's Mandarin is very broken, typical of Hong Kong-style Mandarin.

"I've worked with so many actors, but there are very few with your talent."

After a brief chat and saying goodbye to the makeup team, Shen Yan went to the restaurant.

He hadn't slept all night; he wasn't very tired, but he was really hungry.

however.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw a pair of hateful eyes.

Seeing Shen Yan carrying a tray over, Liu Shishi launched a glare attack.

abnormal!

A giant radish!

They're so noisy, they keep everyone up all night!

She mentioned changing rooms to Hu Jia today, but with the crew gradually joining the production, there are no single rooms available.

Only suites and double rooms remain, and all those rooms have already been booked.

The thought of having to endure the barrage of distorted sounds for over a month made Liu Shishi feel like her menopause had come early.

Good morning, Shen Yan.

Yuan Hong greeted him with a smile.

"Good morning, Brother Yuan, Shishi."

Ignoring Liu Shishi's attacking gaze, Shen Yan sat down opposite the two.

"Have you registered for Weibo yet?"

Yuan Hong was unaware of what had happened last night and was still chatting about everyday things.

Let me know when it's done, I'll keep an eye on you.

In mid-August 2009, Sina Weibo began its internal testing phase, and by the end of August, Sina quickly launched its public beta, opening it to all netizens.

After Fanfou.com was suspended for rectification, a large number of netizens were left homeless, and Sina took in a large number of Fanfou.com's orphans.

Also.

Leveraging the influence of Sina's portal and blog, Weibo has invited a large number of celebrities and stars to join.

Just recently, after only 66 days of public beta testing, Weibo's registered users surpassed one million.

Tangren attaches great importance to this "free" publicity platform, and its artists have successively opened Weibo accounts.

"Okay, thank you." Shen Yan smiled slightly: "My Weibo account is just my own name. Jia Jie is handling the verification."

At that time, Weibo did not have a self-service verification module; personal orange V verification still required manual verification through the Weibo backend.

"What about blogs?" Yuan Hong continued to ask. "Are there fewer people on Weibo or more on blogs?"

"I'm also working on a blog."

Shen Yan shook his head.

"However, I'll be very busy going to be, and I don't think I'll have time to update."

"busy?"

"Um."

Shen Yan admitted frankly.

"I talked to Sister Weijing last night and we've decided to release an album instead, hopefully before the Lunar New Year. Then we'll focus on filming my scenes."

"That was quite rushed."

Yuan Hong nodded, not feeling anything about focusing on filming Shen Yan's scenes.

The production team originally had two groups, A and B.

The storyline involving Shen Yan and Huang Qiao'er was handled by Lin Yufen and Wei Hantao, while the storyline involving him and Liu Shishi was handled by Liang Shengquan and Li Huizhu.

Li Guoli is the chief director, responsible for production and coordination.

"morning."

At this moment, Zhang Junning, who had just finished her makeup, also came over with her plate and sat down next to Shen Yan naturally.

Directly to the devil's eyes!

Directly to the devil's eyes!

Liu Shishi launched two eye attacks, which Zhang Junning completely ignored.

It really has no lethality.

"What were you guys talking about just now?"

"Blogs and microblogs."

Shen Yan smiled and said, "If you want to develop your career in mainland China in the future, you can register for Weibo and a blog."

"Weibo?"

Zhang Junning certainly knew what a blog was, but she had never heard of Weibo.

"It's the Chinese version of Twitter."

"oh oh."

The group ate and chatted until the crew assembled, and the lead actors were taken to the film set in a car with the staff.

When they arrived at the film set, the director, cinematographer, sound engineer, art director, makeup artist, and extras were already ready.

However, they were filmed separately.

"Xiao Shen, you and Jun Ning go ahead and take your seats."

Upon arriving at Group B, Lin Huifen waved for them to rehearse first.

The positioning is similar to that of a gala rehearsal; the goal is to ensure the best possible shooting results.

Filming a TV series is much simpler compared to shooting a movie, where the camera, lighting, tracks, sound recording, and so on all need to be adjusted gradually.

No, not for TV dramas.

As long as you don't appear in the shot, the composition is fine.

OK.

The scenes we filmed today were all very simple, just interactions between the two of us. There weren't any dramatic scenes. Seeing that things were going well, Lin Huifen clapped her hands.

"Ready to film."

"Scene 33, Shot 1, First take."

After the script supervisor slammed the clapperboard, filming officially began.

From morning to noon, it was all scenes between the two of them, but the actual filming time was not long.

Fang Ning's scenes are very fragmented; in other words, she appears in few scenes and in very scattered locations.

As we all know, filming is all fake. Every time the scene changes, unless it's a fixed location, many scenes need to be re-set.

Set design takes time.

By the afternoon, Shen Yan had finished filming his scenes for the day. According to the plan, the remaining scenes were for Zhang Junning, Liu Shishi, and Yuan Hong.

Since he didn't have any scenes to film, Shen Yan didn't stay on set and went straight back to the Little White Building.

Huang Weijing and Cai Yinong are still waiting for him to sign the contract.

Everything that needed to be discussed was settled last night. After bringing his lawyer to review the contract and seeing that there were no problems, Shen Yan signed the record contract.

After the signing ceremony, Shen Yan chatted with Huang Weijing and Cai Yinong for a while, and then went back to his room around 3 p.m.

Time to catch up on sleep!

hum!hum!hum!

Shen Yan was woken up by a phone call just as he fell asleep.

"Feed?"

"Holy crap, aren't you filming a movie?"

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Xu said in surprise.

"Sleeping at 4 PM?!"

"No filming this afternoon, I'm going to take a nap. Any instructions from Brother Xu?"

"How could I dare to give you instructions? There's a job I've got. A friend of mine runs a women's clothing store on Taobao and is looking for models for a long-term contract. We'd like to sign them for two months as a trial, 10,000 yuan a month, and then they'll come to Beijing for a shoot every two weeks. We'll reimburse their travel expenses. Could you talk to that girl from Xinjiang about that?"

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xu. I'll treat you to drinks when we get back to Yanjing."

"Let's skip the drinking and go fishing instead. I'll tell you, I recently learned how to make a seasoning, taught by a master chef."

"Okay, you decide, but I'm not free lately."

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yan briefly explained the album release.

"Sure, I'm rooting for you. Remember to let me know when you set the album release date, and I'll help you promote it."

"Just for publicity?"

"Buy, buy, I'll buy a hundred, is that okay?"

"100 sheets, that's a bit too few."

"Damn it, 100 isn't enough?"

"Hehe, Brother Xu, you don't understand. My first physical album was only recorded in the first batch of 10,000 copies, it's a rare edition."

"Get lost. I'll send you the details later. I'm hanging up now."

"etc."

"What is it?"

"Brother Xu, I actually think there's potential in the online modeling business."

Shen Yan thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Taobao recently held a Double 11 shopping festival, and its single-day sales exceeded 50 million yuan. Last year, Taobao's sales were close to 100 billion yuan, and women's clothing is Taobao's largest category."

"There are over 20 related stores. Just think about it, don't all these businesses need models?"

"You mean create a website like Moko?"

Cheng Xu pondered for a moment before speaking.

"That won't work. I don't understand the internet. Besides, I know Taobao; your sister-in-law has bought a lot of things there. Those merchants are all over the country. How am I supposed to place an order?"

"We can't exactly go to their door, can we? We wouldn't even cover the round-trip transportation costs."

"It's a delivery."

Shen Yan chuckled.

"Why not just send the package to Yanjing, take the photos there, and then send the pictures to the seller?"

"As for the internet, you don't understand it, but doesn't your brother-in-law understand it too?"

Cheng Xu's brother-in-law is also a remarkable person; he was part of the early founding team of Jumei.com.

In 11, Jumei signed Han Geng as its spokesperson.

Xu Ge's brother-in-law got into a fight with Chen Ou over this matter, and after the fight, he resigned and later jumped ship to the US military group.

He worked there for ten years, 21 years, and at the age of thirty-five, Ma Hao cashed out all his stock options, holding more than 200 million yuan, and retired on the spot.

Open for business!

These were all things Cheng Xu told Shen Yan. Before his rebirth, although Shen Yan had retired from the entertainment industry and returned to his hometown, he had never lost contact with Brother Xu.

Xu Ge is also a gigolo; his wife's family has some connections, and Xu Sao works at Beijing TV as a mid-level manager.

"Let me think about it."

"Stop thinking about it. Go find your brother-in-law. The two of you should discuss it. I think it has potential."

Shen Yan gave Cheng Xu advice not for money; friends don't concern themselves with such things, and besides, he couldn't do it anyway.

Xu Ge is different; he has resources, and his brother-in-law is also capable.

If it succeeds, it might be acquired by Taobao. Shen Yan vaguely remembered that Taobao later created its own Taobao Girl platform.

This platform is still nowhere to be seen.

With Xu Ge's connections and resources, if he were recruited, earning a few million wouldn't be difficult, let alone much.

of course.

If they really set up a platform, it could help Nazar find some work, saving the little girl from having to chat with him every day.

You can only look at it, not eat it.

How painful.

After a short while, Shen Yan lost his sleepiness after ending the call, so he decided to go online for a bit.

I opened Sina Entertainment and scanned a few headlines.

At the premiere of "Mulan," Zhao Feite promised to celebrate with a kiss from Chen Kun.

"New Youth: Who is the New King of Lunar New Year Comedy Films?"

Zhang Yuqi tacitly acknowledges her relationship with a wealthy second-generation heir and discusses her criticism of Stephen Chow.

Review of the TV series "Dwelling Narrowness": Confronting the Tragedy of Mortgage Slaves

Weibo Daily: Li Binbin ranks in the top ten most popular celebrities, Zhao Feite has over 100,000 followers.

Then, Shen Yan clicked on the last news item.

Skipping over the preceding Weibo promotional article, he quickly scrolled to the end of the article.

Finally, there's a leaderboard.

As of November 16th, the number one celebrity on the Weibo popularity chart is Da Zui.

28 million.

Li Yuchun ranked second with 200,000 followers, while Shen Yan's fellow disciple Zhou Bichang ranked third with 157,000 followers.

Fourth and fifth are Li Binbin and Zhao Feite, one with 14 and the other with 13.

The sixth place result surprised Shen Yan.

Zhang Jie?

Keep reading.

Ok? ? ?

Tang Yan is only ranked tenth?

He has quite a few fans, over 8.
