Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

Around 2010, driven by the World Expo, policies, and capital, urban agriculture and leisure tourism gradually became a new calling card for Shenhai.

Ecological farms, both in the suburbs and the outskirts, are opening one after another.

Among them are mid-range farmhouses catering to mass consumption, as well as high-end farmhouses offering a high degree of privacy.

Although it's called a farm stay, it actually offers everything that guests need—anything that flies in the sky, swims in the sea, or runs on the ground—anything that can be found on Earth.

A 48-hour airdrop!

Cai Yinong is a good hostess; the farm she chose was quite nice.

A detached house with its own yard.

There was only one table of guests in the entire courtyard.

It offers excellent privacy.

Besides Shen Yan, Cai Yinong also brought Xia Jie along, who can drink much more than her.

However, no one drank much tonight. Although Deputy Director Hu was the guest of honor in name, he also had to consider Xu's wife's feelings.

Although Xu's sister-in-law's uncle was not his direct superior and did not oversee his business, in a society based on personal connections, everyone has some connections.

Who doesn't have allies?

Being more polite leaves more room for maneuver, and that's never wrong.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Director Hu put down his teacup, looked at Shen Yan with a smile, and took the initiative to bring up the important matter.

"Xiao Shen, you wrote the song. What are your ideas for how to shoot the promotional video?"

The matter of the overseas promotional song is important, after all, it's a song for the World Expo; but it's also not important.

After all, it won't be promoted domestically.

The height is also average.

It doesn't target elites from Europe and America, but rather young people overseas.

Having mastered the intricacies of the industry, he naturally understood the significance behind this promotional song.

In short, it's about building up seniority.

and so.

He wouldn't mind doing someone a favor.

"I think the core of the promotional video should highlight the unique character of Shanghai."

Before he came, Xu Ge and Xu Sao told him that he could speak freely. Of course, he also mentioned the MV shooting plan to them.

"Oh? What kind of temperament do you think Shen Hai has?"

Deputy Director Hu's interest in talking was piqued. After graduating from Fudan University in 86, he had been working in Shanghai, which had become his second hometown.

"Young, open, inclusive, diverse, and international."

At this point, you definitely have to say the nicest things.

"Hmm, not bad."

Deputy Director Hu smiled and nodded, adding.

"However, Shenhai also has a strong historical foundation."

"You're right."

Shen Yan continued the conversation.

"So I think the first scene of the promotional video should showcase the most distinctive features of Shenhai, standing on the tallest building in Shenhai, overlooking Lujiazui and the Bund, combining modern prosperity with historical heritage."

The promotional videos from the 2010s are completely different from those from the 2020s.

This will rarely use overhead or high-altitude perspectives.

It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's too expensive.

Where were the 4K high-definition drones of 2010?

Aerial photography, primarily using helicopters, is used for overhead shots.

Helicopter photography is complicated. The airspace above the city is controlled airspace, and if you want to take aerial photos, you have to apply to multiple departments and go through an approval process.

This usually needs to be done 1-3 months in advance.

Secondly, the costs are high, and the professional requirements are also high.

Professional gimbal equipment, experienced pilots, gimbal operators, and photographers are all indispensable.

"Then, we use a lot of aerial footage. Of course, we don't need to shoot these ourselves; we can just edit existing footage."

Shortly afterward, Shen Yan succinctly explained the filming issues.

"The idea is clear, and it's a good solution."

Deputy Director Hu nodded in satisfaction. This plan was not expensive, and only a few shots actually needed to be filmed.

Borrowing materials is just a little troublesome.

But for him, it was just a matter of issuing a note.

formalities?

Others will naturally run it.

Around 10 p.m., after seeing off Deputy Director Hu, Shen Yan and his group went to a private club.

Inside the private room, Liu Shishi quietly moved next to Shen Yan and whispered about crickets.

"I heard you bought the drinks tonight?"

"Yes, you drank tens of thousands of dollars worth of my wine tonight."

Looking at the rosy-cheeked Blind Sister, Shen Yan chuckled and teased her.

"Don't make me treat you to meals next time, I can't afford to support you."

"Tch, do you think I want to drink it?"

As she spoke, Liu Shishi glanced at Cai Yinong not far away. At that moment, Cai Yinong was chatting with Sister Xu, or rather, drinking with her.

Mrs. Xu still holds some sway at Yanjing TV.

The premiere of "The Weaver Girl" on local television will most likely be on BTV—Film and Television Channel, a subsidiary of Beijing Television.

"But you seem to have a pretty good alcohol tolerance?"

Liu Shishi asked curiously.

"I've never seen you drink so much before, but you actually drank two bottles today."

Shen Yan did drink quite a bit tonight. He downed two bottles, and Xia Jie drank two bottles. Of the eight bottles of wine he brought, half of them ended up in their stomachs.

"I'm a singer, so I need to protect my voice."

On the other side, Cheng Xu subtly observed Shen Yan and Liu Shishi.

These two people are standing a little too close to each other.

Although actors don't really care about this, but...

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Xu chuckled softly.

Who cares? It's our own brothers who won't suffer any losses.

He and his wife made a special trip this time, partly to show their support for Shen Yan.

Previously, he and Shen Yan were more like-minded and had little conflict of interest; they only cared about their personal relationship. But things are different now.

The success of Taobao Girls is nothing short of a second spring for him.

Being a live-in son-in-law is no easy task!

Now?

During the family gathering at Chinese New Year, he was incredibly upright.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but recall what Xiao Yan had said.

People must live out their value in the fight against the epidemic.

I'm not afraid of being used; I'm afraid of not even having any value to be used.

Cai Yinong, who was chatting with Sister Xu, noticed the slightly intimate interaction between Liu Shishi and Shen Yan.

A daughter is no longer under her mother's control once she grows up.

She had actually spoken with Shishi privately.

Shen Yan isn't a good match. If she really wants to date him, she won't object, as long as she doesn't get carried away and falls too deeply in love.

She didn't intend to use Liu Shishi to win over Shen Yan.

Do you think Shi Shi can hold back someone like Shen Yan?

If you actually do that, you'll definitely lose both your wife and your army.

She's not that stupid.

The reason she doesn't object is simply because she doesn't want to interfere too much. Young people, after all, experiencing one or two "scumbags" isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It might even help Liu Shishi overcome her difficulty in breaking character.

The drinking party ended at 1:30 a.m.

Looking at the three women not far away, Cheng Xu chuckled.

"What, are you alone tonight?"

"Who's with you alone?"

"Not bad, you even pulled a surprise attack."

Clearly, Cheng Xu misunderstood, thinking that Liu Shishi would return later.

"It wasn't her."

"Who is that?"

"The one from the last gathering in Yanjing."

The older sister will be very busy in the coming years. She has four movies released in the first half of the year, although she is not the lead actress in any of them except for "A Good Rain Knows When to Fall".

But during the promotional period, she always has to attend a few events, and then she has to go to Hong Kong to film "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".

and so.

She came ahead of time to learn from their experience.

"Sure, it's been so long and you still haven't broken up?"

"We haven't even discussed it, how can we divide it?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Cheng Xu's eyes.

grass.

How come this guy's skills at picking up girls are getting better and better?

She's a famous actress, after all. How can you have such an ambiguous relationship with her?
