Chapter 125 If you are not a decades-old scoundrel, you can't think of this trick

Lin Yicheng himself felt very aggrieved, as he always believed that he was kind by nature.

Man is inherently good at birth.

Can all these things be blamed on him?

Some of them were forced upon him by the situation and he had to do them.

Some things happen randomly and are purely coincidental.

Some of them are done inadvertently.

Some people are bullied to the point of being self-defense.

Why can't these people understand him, sympathize with him, and put themselves in his shoes?

Alas, the general environment is so damn unfriendly!
……

More than an hour later, Tong Gang called. Without saying anything else, he directly asked Lin Yicheng to come over for a face-to-face talk.

Face to face discussion? A script was not worth a face to face discussion between Tong Gang and himself.

That is to say, there is something else.

He suppressed his doubts, called Zheng Jun, and went to Xuanwumenwai Street in XC District together.

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is a comprehensive department that includes the Radio Bureau, Television Bureau and Film Bureau.

The three branches each have their own addresses and are not in the same place as the main office.

Lin Yicheng's new script is a movie, which is under the jurisdiction of the Film Bureau, so he came to Xuanwumenwai Street.

Although it was his first time at the Film Bureau, fortunately, the guard at the door recognized his face and quickly let him in after asking about his purpose.

After registering with the security guard, asking about the location of Tong Gang's office, and leaving Zheng Jun to wait for him here, Lin Yicheng walked towards the office building of the Film Bureau by himself.

Arriving at the third floor and seeing the sign at the door, Lin Yicheng straightened his clothes a little and knocked on the door.

……

"Come in." A middle-aged man's voice came from the door. It was Tong Gang.

Pushing the door open, there were two people sitting on the sofa talking about something. When they saw Lin Yicheng come in, they looked up at him.

One of them, a middle-aged man in his fifties, is the current head of the Film Bureau, Tong Gang.

The other man was a few years younger than him, probably in his early forties. Although Lin Yicheng saw him for the first time, he knew who he was.

Zhang Hongsen, the current second-in-command of the Film Bureau, will replace Tong Gang and become the new top leader in a few years.

With these two big guys here, it seems that this matter is going to be a bit troublesome and difficult.

Thinking this in his mind, Lin Yicheng showed a warm smile on his face, which was natural and not artificial, just right. This was a skill he had practiced in his previous life.

"Director Tong, Director Sen, there was a traffic jam on the road and we are late. Sorry for keeping you waiting." No matter whether the leaders have been waiting for a long time or not, they have definitely been waiting. You should apologize first and you will not go wrong.

"It's okay. This is Director Mori. Is this the first time you meet?"

"That's right. I've only heard of Director Mori before, but this time I finally see him in person." Lin Yicheng quickly stretched out his hands and said:

"Speaking of which, Director Mori is still my predecessor. I have read your "Workshop Director" and "Chief Justice" several times. I was shocked and inspired."

Zhang Hongsen is different from others. He doesn't like being called "Director Zhang". Instead, he prefers being called "Director Sen", which sounds friendly and different.

As to whether this was because there was a "deputy" in front of his position, and there were several "deputies" in the bureau, Lin Yicheng had no idea and didn't care.

……

Zhang Hongsen himself has two identities, a writer and a screenwriter. Several of his works have won many awards.

Especially "Workshop Director" and "Chief Justice", which won the national "Five One Project Award"!
You can imagine the value of this.

This is also the reason why he will become the de facto head of the Writers Association in the future.

From the perspectives of both writer and screenwriter, Lin Yicheng was not wrong to call him “senior”.

Lin Yicheng started out as a best-selling novelist and is currently also a screenwriter.

"Haha, I have heard of your name, Xiaolin, more than once. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed young and promising." Zhang Hongsen smiled and shook hands with Lin Yicheng, and said:
"How do you young people put it? Yes, handsome!"

Lin Yicheng was chatting with the two of them, and when he saw water boiling on the table, he naturally started to make tea for them.

You are very outgoing and don't consider yourself an outsider at all, but sometimes, leaders tend to buy into this and make it seem like you are not shy with them and treat them as close elders.

When it comes to the ways of the world and how to behave in society, Lin Yicheng has a firm grasp on it and does not make any mistakes.

……

The leaders were very busy and didn't have much time to chat, so after a cup of tea, Lin Yicheng talked about business.

"Director Tong, Director Sen, I don't know why you two asked me to come here..." Lin Yicheng didn't mention the script at all. He solved the problem in front of him that was confusing him. The script was just a small matter.

"It's like this. We've received feedback from some comrades. They are very dissatisfied with you." Director Tong took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Lin Yicheng's heart skipped a beat.

Horse riding!
Not only did those people do something tricky to block his script, but they also started to tell tales on him?
What is the Film Bureau? It is a place that can decide the life and death of the film industry with a single word!

Having a good relationship with the Film Bureau may not bring many benefits, but at least it will make the review process much easier.

As we all know, the biggest problem with the censorship of domestic film and television dramas is that there are no specific regulations.

Apart from those hard points that cannot be touched, such as not smearing, not slandering, not having ghosts, not having spirits, etc., the other less critical points really vary from person to person. After all, reviewers are also human beings.

Some ambiguous topics may be passed or not, but others may not be able to pass them.

For some places that cannot be passed, others will simply send it back without telling you where the problem is. You can get specific instructions and know what to change and how to change it.

These two points are very critical and can be said to determine the life or death of a movie.

……

These people reported Lin Yicheng obviously to make the leaders have a bad impression of him. In this way, both Lin Yicheng and Xinghe Film and Television Company will be greatly affected in the future, and it is possible that they will never recover!

This is hitting the snake at its most vulnerable part!

Lin Yicheng and Xinghe Film and Television Company have projects, funds, good relations with the media, no shortage of publicity, their own cinema chains and cooperation with China Film, so there is no problem with distribution and release.

It seems that he has no weaknesses or blind spots in all directions. Those people who want to deal with him can't think of any good way for the time being.

I didn't expect these people to find another way to attack Lin Yicheng at the source. This move was fast, accurate and ruthless!

The person who came up with this method is not ordinary. He must be a veteran pervert with at least several decades of experience to come up with this idea.

"Two leaders, may I ask what your specific opinions are?" Lin Yicheng swallowed quietly, his brain working rapidly.

Whether he can break the impasse now depends on his performance and reaction, so he has to be extremely careful.

"Some people have said that you don't value unity and are hostile and ostracizing some of your compatriots. This will have a very bad impact and hurt the feelings of those compatriots."

Although it was the first time that Zhang Hongsen met Lin Yicheng, he had a good impression of him. He was a talented, capable, courageous and promising young man.

There are too few young people like this nowadays. Zhang Hongsen was inspired to find talent, so he spoke up and made it clear, not wanting to embarrass Lin Yicheng.

Moreover, since the two men had some similarities in their experiences, Zhang Hongsen saw a hint of Lin Yicheng's shadow. Back then, he was also so talented, young and vigorous, and full of vigor!

……

It has been ten years since the return, and during this period the relevant mainland authorities have done a lot of work.

Just talking about the film and television industry, allowing the Hong Kong industry to move north, relaxing some of the requirements and regulations for them, giving them ample opportunities and treatment, and vigorously supporting some co-productions, what is the purpose?
Through this channel, a favorable environment for "the return of people's hearts" can be created.

Let people from Hong Kong go to the mainland, touch upon history, understand Chinese culture, and get to know their own country and nation.

Then, they spread the culture through their film and television works, making the cultural connection between Hong Kong Island and the Mainland closer, and enhancing the national identity and national consciousness of Hong Kong citizens.

The idea is good and the policy is good.

But there are still some people who don't want to do good. ...

People in Hong Kong believe that the mainland needs them and cannot do without them.

In this case, shouldn't you put forward some conditions and ask for more benefits?

They take the mainland's tolerance towards them as a leverage to act unscrupulously.

They use those favorable welfare policies as tools to pursue personal gain.

If someone doesn’t cooperate, doesn’t follow their lead, and doesn’t give them the greatest benefits, they will cry and make a fuss! After all, only crying children get milk!
This is called taking advantage of others and being shameless!

It was not until several years later, when some explicit or implicit benefits disappeared and the requirements for co-production became stricter, that they began to restrain themselves a little, but not much, and their essence has never changed.

……

Lin Yicheng is currently at the peak of his popularity, and is unrivaled at the moment, which makes these people jealous.

Why? We have so many big directors and big stars making movies that fail one after another, but you, a young boy, can make one success after another!

The fact that "Seven Swords" failed at the box office due to the influence of Lin Yicheng was just a trigger and could not unite the Hong Kong circle and share the same hatred for the enemy.

The key is that you didn't use our Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, and you still succeeded! Isn't this just digging up our roots?
How can we continue to brag about the box office appeal and overseas influence of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists in the future?
If people inside and outside the circle see through our nature and no longer believe in our so-called appeal and influence, who will ask us to make films and who will invest in us?
In this case, how can we benefit ourselves?
Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

In the eyes of the Hong Kong circle, Lin Yicheng is now a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and he is someone who must be eliminated as soon as possible!

……

"Director Tong, Director Sen, I have two things to say. One is polite and the other is from my heart. Which one do you want to hear?" Lin Yicheng refilled the two leaders' cups of tea and spoke.

"Tell us all, let us all hear it." Tong Gang said.

"Okay, let's just say some polite words first, and you two can also convey these words to them."

After pouring himself a glass, Lin Yicheng spoke slowly.

"Under your wise leadership, the domestic film industry now..." Lin Yicheng just started talking when he was interrupted by Zhang Hongsen.

"Stop, stop playing these sloppy games. We are tired of hearing them." Zhang Hongsen said a little unhappily.

"Well, it's because I'm nervous facing you two." Lin Yicheng smiled awkwardly.

No matter what the leader thinks, you still have to say some polite words. It’s useless to say them, but if you don’t say them…

The leader may not remember who gave a gift, but he can definitely remember who didn’t!
"The industry is booming and the market is starting to take off, but it is still the beginning, and everyone is inevitably inexperienced in dealing with this kind of situation, which leads to a lot of chaos."

"You two must know the details of the chaos, so I won't go into details, lest my colleagues think I am talking bad about others behind their backs."

Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen did not interrupt him and waited patiently for what to say next.

"One of the biggest sources of chaos is the Hong Kong industry. The bad habits they brought have made the film and television industry a mess. As a member of the industry, I see it with my own eyes and feel anxious in my heart."

"I'm not going to shy away from you two. I don't like these people in the Hong Kong industry. Not only are their acting skills not outstanding, they can't even speak Mandarin well. Their pay is higher than the other, and their tempers are worse than the other."

"How can I use them in this situation? Look at what mainland actors have become now because they have been marginalized by them."

"Teachers Chen Daoming and Chen Baoguo are both top-notch actors in China, and are national first-class actors. When they go to film Hong Kong movies, they can only play supporting roles."

"What about the others? It's good enough to get a role. Many people don't even have a chance."

"Good projects and good resources are almost monopolized by the Hong Kong circle. What opportunities do our mainland actors and behind-the-scenes people have to make a breakthrough?"

"If the domestic film and television industry wants to develop and progress, and catch up with Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, does it have to rely on these people in the Hong Kong circle?"

"They can't even protect their own one-third acre of land! You can't rely on them!"

"If we want to develop the mainland market, we still need the joint efforts of mainland companies and practitioners in front of and behind the scenes. But now? They don't even have a chance to play!"

"If you are rich, you should help the world; if you are poor, you should take care of yourself. I, Lin Yicheng, don't have much ability, but to be honest, I really want to do something for the mainland film and television industry."

……

Lin Yicheng finished the tea in his hand and stopped talking.

Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen also fell silent.

They clearly understood some of the things that Lin Yicheng mentioned just now, but there were some that they really hadn't thought about.

In his position, seek his position.

Now that they are in this position, they certainly want to make a difference.

At the same time, they were a little surprised and looked at Lin Yicheng with admiration.

Although this young man spoke modestly, he obviously had great ambitions! It was hard to say how big they were, but judging from what he had just revealed, they were not small.

Although it was just polite talk, both of them could tell that Lin Yicheng really thought so and he was currently doing so.

"What's in your mind? Let's speak it out." After a moment's silence, Zhang Hongsen spoke.

"To be honest, I will only tell you the truth in front of you two, but I won't admit it once we leave this door." Lin Yicheng laughed.

"Don't be cunning, kid. Do you think we can sell you out?" Tong Gang pretended to be angry.

Seeing that the slightly heavy atmosphere had eased, Lin Yicheng stopped keeping the question in suspense and spoke directly.

"You two may not know that some people in the Hong Kong circle say one thing to our faces and another behind our backs. We treat them as our own family, but they don't treat us as their own family at all..."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Tong Gang narrowed his eyes, looking a little serious.

"If you two have time, you can go to the Internet and see what those people say about our mainland and our country on the Internet."

"Is this true?" Zhang Hongsen also realized the seriousness of the problem and guessed that the truth might be more serious than what Lin Yicheng said.

"Yes, and most of the people who say these things are not unknown people. It is very likely that we treat them as guests of honor one moment, and then they will scold us on the Internet the next moment."

Lin Yicheng did not specify who they were. With Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen's abilities, it would be very easy for them to find out.

Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and curse!
This is what those people in the Hong Kong circle do!
Some superstars never speak or express their opinions on certain things when facing the media, saying that as artists they don't get involved in these things.

As a result, when you go to the Internet, you can see that they are the ones who say the most and curse the most harshly!
They are the ones who are trying to maintain their chastity even though they are whores!

……

"Just tell us what you said today, but don't spread it around. Pay attention to the impact and focus on unity." Zhang Hongsen pointed out Lin Yicheng.

"Don't worry, leader. I know the severity of the situation."

"We know about this matter. We will verify it later." Tong Gang did not say much. If it was really as Lin Yicheng said, he might not be able to make the decision on some things and would have to ask for instructions and report to his superiors.

"Two leaders, what do you think about my script?" Lin Yicheng mentioned his script.

"Tell me what kind of script it is." Zhang Hongsen himself is a screenwriter and is interested in this aspect.

So Lin Yicheng narrated the contents of the script.

"Hehe, if you were allowed to shoot this movie, it would probably cause a shock to this circle." Zhang Hongsen laughed. Considering Lin Yicheng's fame and the trust he enjoys in the hearts of the audience, to say that it would cause a shock would be an understatement.

"I just want to do something to make this industry better, so that I can continue to make a living in the industry."

"It's good to have such a film. It can serve as a warning to some people." Zhang Hongsen nodded and said, "Director Tong, what do you think?"

"You can film it, but you have to be careful about the limits. Some things are fine if they are known within the industry, but there is no need to let the audience know, otherwise the audience's thoughts and views on this industry will change."

"Don't worry, I won't take any random shots. Just stop when you're done."

"Okay, I'll make a phone call later and ask them to approve the script for you." Tong Gang said. It was just a script, and it only took him a few words to do it.

"Thank you, Director Tong. It's a blessing for us to meet leaders like you two." Lin Yicheng said with a smile and flattered you a little.

For the sake of the script and the good play, this is not shabby!

"Okay, go back and do your own thing. I won't keep you for dinner." Zhang Hongsen said with a smile.

"Well, I won't bother you two anymore."
