Huayu 2009: Who should we call the Heavenly King?

The World Cup has kicked off, igniting the height of summer.

but.

The controversies in the entertainment industry continue to captivate the public.

A few days ago, Lu Chuan revealed on Weibo that young director Yan Po was followed by four people with knives in Chaoyang and was seriously injured.

then.

Li Daran and her ex-boyfriend were both caught up in this controversy, and Yan Po's ex-wife Mei Ting also sent a message from afar, wishing him a speedy recovery.

At the same time, due to the huge controversy, the State Administration of Radio and Television issued a rectification notice to "If You Are the One".

This phenomenal variety show that dominated the nation looks like it's on the verge of collapse.

In addition, the rumors about Huang Xiaomin and Angelababy have intensified. Just look at Angelababy's Weibo, it's only a matter of time before they officially announce their relationship.

There's something in the film industry that's somewhat related to Shen Yan.

"Love in a Puff" is set to be released on June 18th. However, it is a low-budget film and has been classified as Category III in Hong Kong.

When it was released in Hong Kong in March, it only grossed over 6 million at the box office.

By current market standards, this is a pretty good result, but low cost is still low cost.

There was almost no publicity or promotion in mainland China, but Media Asia, the film's production company, wanted to invite Shen Yan to attend the press conference.

However, Gold Medal Typhoon declined.

Are you kidding me?

Why would they send their top star to endorse a Category III film?

If it weren't for the copyright contract already signed, Gold Typhoon would have even considered taking back the copyright to "You Exist in My Song".

They never expected this to happen.

After all, there wasn't much sex content in the script of "Love in a Puff".

As the movie's release date approached, the production company specially edited a promotional song, and then some haters found an angle to use it.

The rumor that "Shen Yan sang the theme song for a Category III film" has been widely circulated by anti-fans.

Yanmeng has established a special "anti-black" team, and in recent days, the team members have been conducting intensive patrols.

They will immediately provide an explanation once they find a relevant post.

Speaking of Yan Meng, there's something else that gives Shen Yan an even bigger headache.

What was the biggest event in early June?

The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) is always one of the annual events, and after Nazha finished the Gaokao, she really let loose.

It's only been a few days?

I asked about the Maldives three times.

It wasn't that Shen Yan was stingy with the money; even though he had invested the signing fee in US stocks, he still had several million in his pocket.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the blind woman beside him who was "picking her food".

She picked out all the dishes she didn't like and then piled them all on Shen Yan's plate.

Are we going to try to have our cake and eat it too?

Although Shen Yan has dated many girlfriends, he really has no experience in juggling two relationships at the same time; at best, he can switch seamlessly between them.

As we all know, the more you practice, the more likely it is to crash.

If it's like older sister Yuanyuan.

That's simple.

Time is like that; you can always squeeze some out. Just half a day or an hour or two is enough to meet the older sister's needs.

If it's a serious discussion, there doesn't seem to be enough time.

If I had known, I would have sought advice from my fellow student, Little Pig, on my last trip to Taiwan and learned the essence of time management.

A moment later, seeing Liu Shishi push most of the lunchbox to him, Shen Yan said in surprise.

"Is that all you're eating?"

"The scene this afternoon will be filmed while suspended by ropes."

Liu Shishi touched her belly.

"I dare not eat too much."

When this scene was mentioned, Shen Yan's expression changed slightly.

The scene that Sister Xia is going to film this afternoon is a famous scene from the end of the series.

Yan San Niang was captured by Ying Wu Qiu.

Because she is a master of light-footed martial arts.

and so.

Ying Wuqiu suspended Yan San Niang in mid-air, not upside down, but horizontally, with her head, feet, and torso parallel to the ground.

In addition to his arms, torso, and legs, all ten fingers were also tied up.

This reminded Shen Yan of an ancient craft.

Rope art.

cough cough.

You can give it a try if you have the chance.

"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Staring intently at Shen Yan, Liu Shishi subconsciously touched her cheek.

"No, I just thought of something."

"What is it?"

"We'll talk about it tonight."

Rope walking is a matter of personal taste; some people can accept it, while others cannot. Shen Yan couldn't quite gauge Sister Xia's attitude.

When doing things, it's better to let your emotions run high before speaking.

"oh."

Sister Xia didn't ask any more questions, and then the two of them ate and chatted.

soon.

After finishing lunch, Sister Xia stood up and said.

"I'm going to sleep in the car for a while and catch up on some sleep."

"Go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."

Not only is Xia Jie bad at games and loves to play, but her energy is also far less than Shen Yan's. Although her skin has been in good condition recently.

There were no dark circles under her eyes either.

However, it's easy to get sleepy.

I can't keep up with only sleeping four or five hours a day.

She needs to take a nap every noon.

I slept until two or three in the morning, past the hottest time, just as the film crew started shooting.

Yes.

As the weather gets hotter, the film crew stops rehearsing from 12 noon to 2:30 pm.

It's too hot, and people are prone to heatstroke.

The lost time can be caught up tonight.

The reason why indoor plays are not scheduled at noon is the same.

Playing indoors can also easily lead to heatstroke.

There's no air conditioning on set.

It's such a tiny place, yet it's filled with machines, tracks, lights, and a large group of people, and the ventilation is terrible.

Wearing thick costumes and standing under the lights for a while will leave you drenched in sweat.

Actors, directors, cameramen, and lighting technicians are all people.

I'd rather film more at night to rush the project than film during the midday sun.

A short while later, after finishing his meal, Shen Yan took out his phone and glanced at it.

So many text messages, all from that guy.

[Brother Yan, Brother Yan, someone in the group just said they want to organize a set visit.]

【May I?】

[Cave One, Cave One, please respond]

[June 19th and 20th are the weekend, is that a good time?]

[People in the group are saying that we haven't organized any offline set visits yet.]

【…】

What followed was a long string of rambling, sometimes about what was happening in the group chat, sometimes about how bored she was at home.

A moment later, he said that the high school reunion the day before yesterday was boring and childish.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan called Nazha back.

beep!

beep!

The phone rang only twice before it was answered instantly.

"Hey, Yan-ge, are you done filming?"

Watching Naza run out while still on the phone, her best friend looked completely bewildered.

Whose call is it?

"We just finished filming. Regarding your visit to the set, I'll have Dandan contact you later. You've agreed on a meeting place, and I'll arrange a car to pick you up."

"Brother Yan, you agree?"

"What's there to disagree with? Come here, I'm more than happy to oblige."

It would be good to have Nazha come over and meet with Liu Shishi, so as to test their attitudes.

Actually, Sister Xia knew about Naza's matter.

The girl with the bun hairstyle is quite famous online, and Sister Xia also knows that Shen Yan arranged a training course for Nazha.

Cai Yinong mentioned it to her.

The company originally wanted to sign Nazar.

But I didn't sign in.

"Dandan".

After ending the call, Shen Yan called his assistant to his side.

"Brother Yan, what's wrong?"

"Please contact Nazha later. Yan Meng is planning to visit the set next weekend."

Shen Yan gave instructions.

"Arrange a car to pick you up, and also book a hotel. I'll transfer the money to you later. Don't book anything too cheap. Just book the VIP building; we'll use the company's negotiated rate."

"Then, have Gold Typhoon send over some albums and posters, count the number of people, and deliver them to my room for me to sign."

"OK."

Zhang Dandan made a note of this, not thinking there was anything wrong with it.

Yan Ge has always been very generous.

"Go."

After giving the instructions, Shen Yan went to rest in the nanny van—not a motorhome.

At that time, RVs were not very popular.

Aside from a few A-list movie stars or those with powerful connections, most people don't rent RVs when filming.

You can fold down the middle row of seats in the van, start the car, turn on the air conditioning, and still rest.

but.

Male and female celebrities usually don't rest in the same van to avoid suspicion, but Shen Yan and Liu Shishi didn't.

I slept in that Alphard at noon.

Beep!Beep!Beep!

Hearing the car door open, Liu Shishi groggily opened her eyes, saw it was Shen Yan, and then fell back asleep.

After getting on the bus, Shen Yan did nothing.

They can't do much anyway.

Ta Miao's.

The car was parked in an open area on the film set. There were only two people in the car. If it was moving up and down, wouldn't that be obvious?

After a good night's sleep, it was time to get back to work.

First, apply makeup.

Shen Yan also needed to wear makeup, mainly to make it a bit darker. His skin was a bit fair, similar to Gu Tianle's during his white period.

In the current Chinese entertainment industry, fair skin is not fashionable, especially for male stars. If they are too fair-skinned, they will be ridiculed as "pretty boy" or "effeminate".

and so.

He had to wear makeup when filming "The Weaver Girl" and "The Vigilantes in Masks".

After finishing his makeup, he arrived at the filming location, which was a temporary, enclosed room.

Upon entering, a sweltering heat hits you.

With a row of oil lamps lit, how could it not get hot?

At this moment, Liu Shishi is being "bound," with her limbs, torso, and fingers all tied up.

Ten years later, those who are "bound" are mostly stand-ins, and the protagonist's face is filmed in close-up.

If the editing is done well, it's hard to detect the presence of a body double.

but.

Most of these people will personally take charge.

Besides the nickname "Blind Sister," Liu Shishi also has the nickname "Desperate Saburo."

Before long, Sister Xia finished preparing.

The lighting, tracks, sound recording, and other backstage staff also completed their preparations one after another.

"rise!"

At the director's command, Liu Shishi was slowly suspended horizontally in mid-air.

Then, the staff immediately stepped forward and tied the connecting wires around her ten fingers to secure them.

"Alright, all departments, get ready!"

Liang Shengquan sat behind the monitor and nodded slightly.

"3, 2, 1, Action!"

Three cameras are turned on simultaneously: camera number two shoots side profiles, and camera number three shoots surround shots along the track.

Meanwhile, the main camera slowly moved forward, filming a close-up shot of the blind woman.

In the scene, Yan San Niang has her eyes closed, with a few strands of hair damp with sweat clinging to her forehead.

The sweat wasn't faked.

It's really hot.

"Alright, pass. There should be no need for preparation."

After the close-up and panoramic shots were finished, the camera position needed to be readjusted, but Liu Shishi was not put down.

Hanging it up and down is too much trouble; it's better to just leave it hanging.

In about seven or eight minutes, the camera position, lighting, and tracks were all adjusted.

"3, 2, 1, begin."

Dressed in coarse linen clothes, Shen Yan slowly lit the oil lamps in the secret room, one by one, holding up candles.

After lighting all the oil lamps, he gently blew out the candles.

Then, he turned to face Yan San Niang and quietly examined the bound and gagged Yan San Niang.

His eyes were complex, hiding the pleasure of revenge, yet also carrying a hint of sinister obsession.

At this moment, Yan San Niang, played by Liu Shishi, trembled slightly, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at Ying Wuqiu in front of her.

"Pfft."

Seeing Liu Shishi's blank stare and flushed cheeks, Shen Yan couldn't hold back.

I burst out laughing.

According to the script, Sister Xia should first be confused, then quickly observe the environment, and finally look at Ying Wuqiu with a wary expression.

but.

The blind woman's performance was a bit wooden, and her eye acting was practically nonexistent.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, director."

After Shen Yan burst out laughing, he quickly apologized.

Liu Shishi, who was suspended in the air, felt hot and constricted, and was in great discomfort. When she heard him laugh, she glared at Shen Yan fiercely.

God knows how painful it is to be hung up like that.

You're still NG!

I'll settle the score with you tonight!

"Shishi, remember your current emotions."

Behind the monitor, Liang Shengquan's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Shishi glaring at Shen Yan; this performance was much better than before.

With very strong emotions.

"Just glare at him like that later!"
