Chapter 12: Into Science (×) Into TV Drama ()

After the break, Lin Yicheng filmed this scene with Huang Shengyi again.

Maybe it was good luck, or maybe Lin Yicheng was really talented.

The two of them influenced and motivated each other, and their condition got better and better.

After the third take, Lin Yicheng took a look, nodded with satisfaction, and began to move on to the next shot.

……

As time went by, the crew got along better and better.

There are almost no experienced people behind the scenes, and they all want to add a good resume to themselves.

The actors are almost all of the same age and are classmates. They have not really entered the entertainment industry, so there is no competition or conflict between them, so they have a good relationship.

In this good atmosphere, the shooting went more and more smoothly.

Lin Yicheng and Huang Shengyi were no longer strangers to each other, and they could chat occasionally. They also exchanged mobile phone numbers and QQ numbers.

However, her assistant looked at Lin Yicheng with a hint of wariness, fearing that this "Star Girl" would be abducted.

Huang Shengyi couldn't quite explain how she felt about Lin Yicheng. Was she curious, admiring, or worshipping him?

After all, Mr. Lin is handsome, talented, and rich. Such a boy is as lethal to young girls as a nuclear bomb.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was August. The crew not only caught up with the progress they had fallen behind, but even exceeded it a little.

So, after the filming was completed in the evening, Lin Yicheng announced that everyone would have a day off tomorrow and continue the day after tomorrow.

This drew cheers and applause from everyone. Lin Yicheng smiled. Relaxation and tension are the way of both civil and martial arts. Only after a good rest can one work well, right?

……

The next day, I went to the tobacco shop with the materials sorted out by the staff and bought a bottle of Moutai and a pack of Huazi.

I drove a second-hand Audi to my uncle’s house in CY District.

After taking a look at the community environment, Lin Yicheng reminded himself again that he should never buy a house in CY in the future. It was unlucky and unsafe.

Today is the weekend and my uncle and aunt are at home.

Seeing Lin Yicheng carrying things, his aunt was happy in her heart, but she complained: "You just came, why are you taking things? We have everything at home."

"I'm honoring my uncle." After entering the house, Uncle Zhao Xingang was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he saw Lin Yicheng, he nodded.

He’s my own nephew, you’re welcome.

"You two can continue chatting while I go to the market to buy some vegetables and cook Yicheng's favorite food." With that, my aunt went out.

"Where is my brother?" Lin Yicheng asked after putting down his things.

"I went on a trip to the grassland with some classmates. We said we wanted to go horseback riding. What a waste of time."

"That's good. Traveling will broaden your horizons. Besides, after three years of hard work, shouldn't we relax for a while?"

"How can he relax? He just passed the second-tier line and doesn't know which school he can go to. He doesn't even know how to worry. He is much worse than you were back then. You didn't need anyone to worry so much back then."

Speaking of his son, the uncle was very disappointed with him, especially when compared with Lin Yicheng, the gap was even more obvious.

Lin Yicheng was not sure what to say. His younger brother, Zhao Feiyu, had been naughty since childhood. In high school, he was a frequent visitor to the Internet cafe and became addicted to playing "Legend". He secretly asked Lin Yicheng for some pocket money several times.

"This is a Nokia phone, it's just been released. I'm giving it to you, brother. You can use it in college." Lin Yicheng took out a mobile phone from his bag.

"How much did it cost?"

"It didn't cost much. Nokia sponsored my movie and there was a discount."

It really didn't cost much. When signing the contract, Lin Yicheng bought a few movies and the other party gave him a 50% discount.

One for myself, one for my parents, one for my brother from my uncle's family, one for my sister from my aunt's family. One for the little follower, and one each for Zong Shuai and Zhou Chenggong. "By the way, how is your filming going? It's been a month now."

"Very good. We have achieved the progress as scheduled." He made tea for his uncle and said, "Uncle, I need your help today."

"Tell me."

"It's like this," Lin Yicheng said after pouring the tea, "I looked at the media publicity before. What can I say? There is an effect, but I want to expand it."

"As time goes by, the Internet plays an increasingly important role. The way young people receive information has shifted from newspapers and books to the Internet."

Zhao Xingang did not interrupt and continued to listen carefully.

"The target audience of our drama is teenagers, so I am thinking of further cooperating with NetEase in terms of publicity."

"How do we cooperate?" asked my uncle after drinking a cup of tea.

"I had someone shoot some footage on the set, including NG shots, interactions between crew members, and some trivial daily life of the cast and crew, such as equipment and props preparation, daily diet, etc."

"I thought about putting these materials on NetEase's entertainment section and making them into online serials."

"Serialized? Like those online novels?" asked my uncle.

"It's a bit similar, but different. We have videos, pictures, and text, so it's richer."

"Besides, people nowadays love to watch the fun, especially teenagers, who are more curious." He refilled the cup with tea, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

“Especially for the entertainment industry, the public will be interested because they don’t know much about it.”

"We serialize it on NetEase, so that the audience can get to know the crew and the TV series better and satisfy their curiosity. In this way, the website gets hits and my series gets publicity, which is a win-win situation."

"Your idea is indeed good. I will discuss this with my colleagues when we get to work. Do you have a plan besides the materials?"

"Yes, they are all in this bag." Lin Yicheng opened the bag. "These USB flash drives contain videos, these USB flash drives contain pictures, and this USB flash drive contains text materials, including copywriting. They are all labeled, so just organize them according to the labels."

"As for the name of the entire series, it can be called 'Witness the Birth of a TV Series' or 'Enter the TV Series Crew', whatever appeals to people."

My uncle was amused and joked: "Why don't you come to NetEase to work? You can't waste your talent."

"If I can't continue filming one day, I will come to you."

"Okay, you can leave the stuff here. I'll bring this up at the Monday morning meeting."

"Thank you, uncle. If they have any objections, I can pay for it."

"I don't think it will be used. We'll talk about it if it doesn't work."

The uncle and nephew started chatting about military affairs, politics, international situations, domestic development, employment issues, and family matters...

Lin Yicheng left only after finishing lunch.

……

Lin Yicheng felt that time was running out.

Since Zhang Yimou opened up a new era of commercial films in 02, the film industry has flourished in the past two years.

Huayi, Guangguang, Bona, and several other companies are making great strides. Coal bosses also ran over with honey in one hand and sacks in the other to give money.

As for TV dramas, Zhouyi has not yet declined, Tangren has already begun to show its brilliance, and Huace is at the top and feeling lonely.

Not to mention, in a few years, there will be big boss Wang's Wanda ready to make a move, and BAT will be sharpening their knives.

If you want to avoid working for others or even being swallowed up, these few years are the best time.

Lin Yicheng only hated that his strength was not enough. Before that, he was a minor, so many of his ideas were just ideas.

If you don’t seize the opportunity to develop now, how can you conquer the entertainment industry?
If he had a portal website now, he could do a lot of things with it! Why did he bother to find NetEase for cooperation?
