Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

"Teacher Xu, Brother Liang, Sister Dou... Bye-bye, see you tomorrow."

At 5:30 p.m., Shen Yan left the rehearsal room with his assistant.

"Dandan, you should go back to the hotel first. I have a private appointment later."

"OK."

Zhang Dandan readily accepted advice and became an artist's assistant, a job with many responsibilities and little pay.

Being able to rest is something I desperately want.

"Brother Yan, call me anytime if you need anything."

"OK."

After dismissing his assistant, Shen Yan took a taxi to a private restaurant on the East Third Ring Road.

He arrived early and waited for about ten minutes before Brother Xu arrived. As soon as Cheng Xu arrived, he took out a contract from his bag.

"Xiao Yan, come here, sign this."

"Brother Xu, this isn't fun at all."

Shen Yan glanced at the contract a few times, then pushed it back.

"I was just making a suggestion. You guys invested real money and then gave me a share of the profits. How thick-skinned do I have to be to do that?"

"Just a little something."

Cheng Xu pushed it back.

"It's boring."

Seeing the returned documents, Cheng Xu stopped worrying and simply took them back.

"Well then, I'll take good care of your little girlfriend."

"What girlfriend? I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you. But if you say that to other people, it could easily lead to misunderstandings."

"Ha ha."

Cheng Xu joked.

"You're definitely raising fish."

"Empty..."

Upon seeing Shen Yan start singing "Empty" again with zero frames, Cheng Xu quickly called for a stop.

"Stop, stop, stop, I give up. Whether it's true or not, I'll definitely take better care of her in the future when there's work to be done, okay?"

"No need for that."

Shen Yan shook his head and said, "Your company is just starting out, so you must be busy."

"It won't affect anything; that website also operates on an intermediary model."

Cheng Xu, to be precise, his brother-in-law is very decisive. Not long after Shen Yan mentioned it last time, he and Cheng Xu quickly made a decision.

Dry!

It hasn't been long, and the website is already online.

Then, the two drank and chatted.

"Have you found a female lead for your album's music video yet? Want me to pick out a concubine for you?"

"Get lost, don't slander me."

"Just say you need something."

"It's all cast. Naza will star in one, our company's top female star in one, and Zhang Junning in another."

Who is Zhang Junning?

"We're in talks."

"Huh? Seriously? If so, bring her out to meet us."

"My love is like a bouquet of flowers."

"What do you mean?"

"Flowers have a shelf life."

"Damn, if you're going to have a casual fling, why are you being so poetic?"

"Vulgar."

Shen Yan rolled his eyes.

"I don't know what your sister-in-law saw in you back then."

"I have a special skill."

Cheng Xu chuckled and the topic shifted to Taobao Girls, a name that clearly aimed to ride the wave of popularity.

Shen Yan didn't have many opinions about this line of work, but he did say some theories that would later become commonplace.

Everything is based on clothing and sales.

Offering commissions for new user acquisition has always worked. Add a "waterfall" display page, and with Brother Xu's connections, the website can pretty much gain some momentum.

Then?

Let's just wait for the acquisition.

"Here, take the car. Give it back to me when you leave."

When the party ended, Cheng Xu tossed the car keys to Shen Yan.

"I won't pick up Nazar and her sister tomorrow. You go ahead. I'll send you the studio address later. Just go and start shooting."

"understood."

Not having a car is indeed inconvenient, but Shen Yan doesn't plan to buy one in the near future.

What kind of car are you buying?

His main job is filming, which requires him to travel around. Occasionally, events are arranged by organizers or his company. If he buys a car, it usually just sits there collecting dust.

cough cough.

Actually, I'm still poor.

With a small goal in mind, Shen Yan plans to pick up a Ferrari tomorrow.

The color must be red!

After calling a designated driver, Shen Yan went straight back to the hotel. There was no second round of fishing, and no night fishing either. It was rare for Brother Xu to be so energetic, and he probably wouldn't have time for night fishing anytime soon.

During the journey, Shen Yan took a picture of the street scene and then sent it to Weibo via MMS.

[December 18th, Hangzhou, GOGOGO]

After posting on Weibo, he ignored it.

These days, without a mobile version of Weibo, MMS messages can only be used to send microblogs, not to view them or interact with them.

He posted on Weibo at Cai Yinong's request.

Regardless of whether anyone pays attention, post more of these, and they'll become source material later.

Unbeknownst to Shen Yan, shortly after he posted his Weibo, a large number of fans left comments below.

Not only him, but the Tang people also failed to discover this.

Weibo is, after all, just a community with one or two million registered users, and Shen Yan's Weibo is not his "main battlefield".

Zhou Bichang's Weibo account was the main battleground, where fans of Zhou Bichang and her own fans were fiercely arguing.

It all started with the phrase, "That person stole the championship."

Silent all night.

The next morning, upon seeing the X5, Zhang Dandan exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Yan, where did this car come from?"

"From a friend."

Shen Yan replied casually.

After practicing in the rehearsal room for a while, around 10 o'clock, Shen Yan drove to the airport.

While waiting, he didn't sit idle; he kept discussing the MV's storyline with Liu Chang.

Liu Chang is the MV director chosen by Shen Yanxuan, and is a senior from the 03 class of the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy.

The two had no prior interaction.

Shen Yan knew that he was only doing this because he was watching TV with his wife.

In his past life, Shen Yan watched a lot of sweet romance dramas, historical dramas, American dramas, and Korean dramas with Liu Chang. He remembered Liu Chang because of "With You" and "Exclusive Memory".

Both dramas were directed by Liu Chang.

Shen Yan doesn't know much about directing, but his senior colleague has some talent.

The camera work was excellent.

Also.

Shen Yan also plans to buy the copyright to the Zhenhua Trilogy, but this series is not suitable for making into a TV series.

Even if it passes censorship, it can't be broadcast on television because it involves puppy love.

If the TV station dares to broadcast it, parents will dare to report it, and no one dares to put the label of "inducing teenagers to fall in love at an early age" on their head.

Suddenly, two shadows appeared in front of Shen Yan.

"Brother Yan!"

Looking up, she was met with a smiling face, but her eyes were darting around, fixed on his phone.

"Sister Nati, Naza, it's been a long time."

Shen Yan took his phone back. Although there was nothing he couldn't see, looking at other people's phones was a bad habit.

If you're glued to your phone today, will you be staring at your bank card tomorrow?

Do I have to wear iron shorts the day after tomorrow?

"Long time no see, thank you for picking me up."

Nati looked around.

"Where's Brother Xu?"

"He's currently starting a business and is very busy. I happened to be in Beijing, so he recruited me."

Shen Yan replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Anyone who has ever kept fish knows that you have to feed them regularly; otherwise, they will starve to death if you neglect them for too long.

"Brother Yan, were you just chatting with Brother Xu?"

Naza seized the opportunity to voice his doubts.

Unfortunately, her little scheme was too obvious.

"no."

Shen Yan spoke as he walked.

"I'm discussing the storyline with the MV director. Oh, by the way, let's have dinner together tonight after you finish filming. I'll invite him too."

Okay.

When the music video was mentioned, Naza's eyes lit up.

She saw that many music videos had intimate scenes between the male and female leads. In the music video for "Fairy Tale" from back then, the male and female leads were hugging and kissing.

Although the music video was very sad and she even cried, the kissing scene was very beautiful.

I wonder if there are any intimate scenes in Yan Ge's music video?
