Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

The next day.

Naza left Yanjing with reluctance. Yan Ge was so kind, doing so many things for her silently. She wished she could see him every day.

After seeing off the Naza sisters, Shen Yan returned to the rehearsal center.

They're all seasoned veterans, and the rehearsal progress is very encouraging.

During this time, Zhou Bichang also treated him to a meal, not just the two of them, but Huang Weijing also accompanied them.

Shen Yan had never met her before, but after spending the last two days in close contact, he had a pretty good impression of Zhou Bichang.

She's just a bit introverted.

Shen Yan hadn't listened to many of her songs. In his memory, Zhou Bichang was the least popular of the top three contestants in the 05 Super Girl competition.

The other two are quite different. One always takes center stage at events and won't participate unless she's in the center, while the other became a sensation after singing an OST and later gained even more popularity with her glasses-wearing look.

A classic runner-up, a classic that no one cares about.

but.

Zhou Bichang doesn't seem to have any major flaws; she's honest and doesn't cause trouble.

12 month 13 number.

The day before he left, Shen Yan treated his college roommates to a meal.

"Brother Yan, when are you releasing your album?"

Liu Shu was so frustrated he couldn't keep it to himself. He didn't hide the fact that Shen Yan was releasing an album from them, but he told them not to tell anyone.

Who understands that kind of unspeakable pain?

"It'll be soon, around January 10th, the title track will be released."

The songs to be performed on New Year's Eve have been decided. Shen Yan will sing two songs, one of which is "In My Song".

The other song is a chorus.

Gold Typhoon arranged for him to sing "Black Orange" with David Tao.

Upon learning of this, Shen Yan initially wanted to refuse, as Tao Jiji was prone to letting loose.

but.

Before he could even speak, Huang Weijing explained the reason to him.

Tao Jiji's appearance was a last-minute addition; to be precise, Gold Typhoon orchestrated the connection, which pushed Shen Yan onto the Jiangsu Province New Year's Eve stage.

This also led to Fan Weiqi being ousted.

With things already said to this extent, how could he refuse? He could only pray that David Tao wouldn't freestyle.

"So, does that mean we can say after New Year's Day?"

"It depends on your mood."

"Okay, I'll definitely make sure to promote it for you after New Year's Day."

Liu Shu laughed heartily and picked up his cup.

"Come on, let's have one!"

soon.

Their conversation then turned to the recently released film, "A Simple Noodle Story".

"Even Zhang Yimou has compromised with the market."

After watching this film, Gao Wenfeng was utterly speechless.

"Haha, let's not talk about the movie anymore. Let's talk about the fight between Sun Honglei and Xiao Shenyang instead."

Liu Shu said with a smile.

"Brother Yan, do you have any inside information?"

"How would I know?"

Shen Yan spread his small hands.

"They are big directors and big stars, while I'm just a nobody like Karami, I can't even get to see them."

"I think it's mostly hype."

Sun Qiang, the eldest in the dormitory, spoke up.

"Zhang Weiping is a master of this kind of thing. Either it's pure hype, or the two of them really did have a fight and then he took the opportunity to expose it."

"What Brother Qiang said makes perfect sense."

Gao Wenfeng picked up his cup and went through another round.

Then, the group chatted about all sorts of things. Unlike regular universities, which are the typical senior year, which is often the time for graduation and breakups, performing arts schools are different.

For performing arts colleges, the third year is basically the season of breakups and separations.

Therefore, everyone cherished the time spent together at the last gathering.

Shen Yan didn't return to the hotel until after 1 a.m.

The next day.

Shen Yan left the car keys at the hotel front desk, notified Brother Xu to come and pick up the car, and then boarded the plane to Hangzhou with Xu Wei and the others.

He was very busy after landing.

Gold Typhoon decided to film the music video for "You Exist in My Song" in Hangzhou, and Liu Chang had already arrived in Hangzhou with his team.

"Brother Chang."

Upon arriving at the recording studio, Shen Yan stepped forward and greeted them.

"You're here."

Liu Chang turned around and said.

"Let's go get our makeup done and change clothes. We'll start filming soon."

Today, Liu Chang arranged for a solo performance. The music video begins with Shen Yan playing the piano and singing alone in the shot.

The footage needs to be filmed three times, from beginning to end, including both playing and singing.

It was a successful three times.

Then, Liu Chang further selected the best parts and cut them into the main body of the music video.

In the afternoon and evening, we shoot some indoor and street footage.

Tomorrow morning, Sister Xia will come from Hengdian to film all day. She will film her solo scenes in the morning and scenes with her partner in the afternoon and evening.

There's a sex scene!

cough cough.

However, the two were only lying in bed back to back with a considerable distance between them; other intimate scenes were limited to hugging.

A moment later, Shen Yan, dressed in a fitted suit, arrived on set.

"Not bad, handsome."

Liu Chang smiled and praised him.

"Let's start filming right away."

OK.

Immediately, Shen Yan walked to the piano. It was a room with a pure white background, and the only thing in sight was a black piano.

"3, 2, 1, action!"

Looking at the screen on the monitor, Liu Chang nodded slightly.

This face is really photogenic.

Front view, side view, no blind spots at all.

No wonder she caused such a sensation on campus when she enrolled; she's a star among stars.

pity.

With such a photogenic face, it's unlikely she'll get many big-screen roles.

It's not that the person is incapable, nor is it a problem with their acting skills; it's a problem with their age and the types of roles they can play.

In most domestic films, the main male characters are portrayed as middle-aged or elderly, and those in their twenties are relegated to minor roles.

Male actors become more popular with age, while the opposite is true for female actors.

Shen Yan didn't return to the hotel to rest until 2:30 a.m.

When Shen Yan woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Today, Shen Yan had put on makeup, but only his eyebrows, and he slightly changed their shape.

Others?

No.

He went out without makeup, and drawing his eyebrows made him more in line with the character of "Xiao Nai." After doing it, he looked less aggressive.

It has gained a touch of aloofness and lost some of its sharpness.

For the outfit, a beige cashmere coat paired with a white shirt, black trousers, and white sneakers.

A typical case of prioritizing style over warmth.

Whether you're handsome or not is a lifelong matter.

temperature?

He's in good health!

Around 10 o'clock, Shen Yan arrived at a coffee shop next to West Lake. He had arrived half an hour early, but to his surprise, Gu Man had arrived even earlier than him.

Why is Gu Wugui so enthusiastic?

the other side.

The moment Gu Man saw Shen Yan walk into the coffee shop, a look of amazement flashed in her eyes.

This?

This?

It was as if she saw Xiao Nai, the character she wrote about, come into reality.

As Shen Yan drew closer, she felt a little nervous.

"Excuse me, are you Teacher Gu?"

Shen Yan smiled slightly.

"Hello, I am Shen Yan."

"Hello, hello, I'm Gu Man."

After a brief handshake and ordering a cappuccino, Shen Yan took out a pair of headphones.

"Teacher Gu, I really like your novels 'Love O2O' and 'My Sunshine'."

"I wrote a song for Zhao Mosheng and He Yichen. Would you like to listen to it?"

"Oh? Okay, okay."

Before coming, Gu Man had looked up Shen Yan's information and knew that he was also a singer, otherwise why would he come to Xu Wei's concert as a guest performer?

"Please go ahead."

He pushed the headphones to the other side, and then Shen Yan pressed the play button on his phone.

"Back then, I thought I loved life."

I can say I understand what's suitable and what's not.

... "

Li Ronghao's "No Compromise" is the theme song for the movie version of My Sunshine. The movie adaptation was terrible, but the song is pretty good.

A series of terrible movies producing amazing songs.

Tears can only be shed freely in my chest.

Tormenting each other until old age,

I will never let go of my grief.

After the entanglement began...

Hearing this, Gu Man's heart trembled.

She recalled the plot of the book.

Perfect, absolutely perfect, it's like a song tailor-made for He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng.

After a long pause, she slowly raised her head, her face showing a conflicted expression.

"Actually, I think you're more suited to Xiao Nai, but Feng Teng is also good. You know Feng Teng, right?"

"I know, he's the male lead in 'Shan Shan Comes to Eat'."

Shen Yan then spoke up.

"Actually, I really like 'My Sunshine'. Although I'm not the right age for it, I think I can act in it in a few years."

"In five or six years, or the next three years, we'll start working on 'Love O2O' and 'Boss & Me'. We'll ask you, Teacher Gu, to be the screenwriter."

At that time, the trend of adapting female-oriented novels into films and television dramas had not yet taken off in the domestic film and television market, and Gu Man only had a superficial understanding of the film and television industry.

If she understood, she definitely wouldn't believe Shen Yan's nonsense.

The most important thing in TV series production is not filming, but finding a seller, and a high-quality seller at that.

Even without connections, the TV station could bankrupt someone just by dealing with the issue of getting payments back.

It's better to be in arrears.

Many TV stations simply default on their payments; currently, the return rate for domestically produced dramas is less than 50%.

Apart from a few strong satellite TV platforms such as Hunan TV, Dragon TV, and Jiangsu TV, other TV stations will not abide by the contracts even if they have signed them.

Even for these few TV stations, it's common for them to delay final payments for one or two years.

You disagree?

Go ahead and sue.

Television stations are state-owned enterprises and are not afraid of lawsuits. On the contrary, once production companies embark on this path, they will find it difficult to sell their shows later.

Hehe, I'll just sell it casually and see if anyone buys it.

Selling dramas, purchasing content, and collecting payments are all hurdles. A television station is like a small society with complex and intertwined relationships.

This is also why many leading film and television companies mainly produce movies, even though the return cycle for movies is also very slow, with a payment period of six months or a year being the norm.

But at least I will give it.

You don't need to worry about those complicated networks of relationships.

Obviously.

Gu Man didn't understand these things very well. Under the triple attack of Shen Yan's good looks, songs, and promises, she quickly surrendered and signed the contract in a daze.

The film and television adaptation rights for three novels, "Love O2O," "Boss & Me," and "My Sunshine," are bundled together for an eight-year term, priced at 500,000 yuan.

This price is roughly the market rate. If it's unreasonable, Gu Man isn't stupid; no matter how satisfied she is, she won't sell it cheaply.

"Professor Gu, I wish us a pleasant collaboration in the future."

After signing the contract, Shen Yan smiled and extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Shen Yan waved goodbye to Gu Man, as he had a music video to shoot that afternoon.

soon.

He arrived at the film set.

"Good afternoon, Shishi, your look today suits you very well."

Liu Shishi's hairstyle today is a neat and tidy high ponytail, paired with a white shirt with a black velvet bow, and black wide-leg pants and a pair of sneakers.

Effortless, gentle, and refined.

Are you praising me, or praising yourself?

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes.

She only found out when she arrived on set that the outfit was designed by Shen Yan.

Although this person is a bit 'bad', he definitely feels different after changing his clothes.

Very stylish.

It suits her very well.
