Chapter 133: When you are in the arena, you will inevitably get hurt
Although Fan Xiaopang enjoys this leisurely life, his main purpose is to terminate his contract with Huayi. During this period, he should not accept any more roles or announcements to avoid financial disputes in the future.

She is essentially a person who cannot sit still and has a sense of crisis.

The movie "The Devil's Heart" was released in February and has been taken off the screen now. As for the box office, let's not talk about it.

For this film, we can only wait and see if it has a chance to win an award.

At this time, Fan Xiaopang didn’t know that a month later, "The Devil in My Heart" would create a "miracle". It was taken off the shelves in Hong Kong Island after only one day of screening, and the final box office was 2 Hong Kong dollars.

This is the lineup of King Li + Liu Milk Tea.

Maybe they have spread all their influence overseas and forgotten to leave some for Hong Kong Island?
……

The TV series "Investiture of the Gods" has also completed its first round of broadcast on CCTV-1's prime time.

She currently has no dramas to be aired, which is very uncomfortable and painful for a popular star.

The circle is developing and changing too fast, and if you are not careful, you may be overtaken or even replaced by others, and you may go downhill in the future.

Such examples are not uncommon.

……

"What's the story behind the second part of Investiture of the Gods?" Lin Yicheng asked.

On weekdays, he really doesn't have much time and energy to pay attention to trivial matters in the circle. The company's affairs are enough to keep him busy.

Therefore, the task of collecting news and information in the circle was basically handed over to Li Yuefang. He would sometimes ask Fan Xiaopang, as this sister was very familiar with the goings-on in the circle.

In particular, she also has a special team responsible for this area.

Fan Xiaopang once told Lin Yicheng about this group.

Who knows and cares about celebrities the most?

Not friends and family, not the management company, and not the fan base.

But his/her opponent.

This is even worse for opponents at the same level and on the same route.

As long as you can get accurate first-hand information and data about the other party, it will often play a crucial role.

For example, once there is some bad news about the opponent, you can spread the news immediately to damage the opponent's image, so as to snatch the opponent's resources in the first place.

Almost every star who has achieved a certain level of success has such a team.

Fan Xiaopang's team costs her seven figures every year.

Is it easy to make money as an actor?
The team's personnel composition is also quite complex, with both full-time and part-time staff.

Most of the full-time ones are recruited paparazzi. They have many ways and channels, and this job is suitable for their profession. They can earn more than working alone and selling information, and it is also relatively stable and safe.

It is more complicated for part-time workers. You either have to bribe the opponent's assistant or driver, or bribe the opponent's company staff, or bribe the opponent's crew members.

Whether a star can keep his resources or get more resources always depends on himself.

The water here is very deep.

……

The full name of "Investiture of the Gods" starring Fan Xiaopang is "Investiture of the Gods: Fengming Qishan", which is only the first part.

Later, in the next part "Investiture of the Gods: King Wu Conquers King Zhou", the cast was replaced, and Daji became Lin Ziwei.

In the same play, the maid played the first part and the princess played the second part.

You taste, you taste carefully.

There was a lot going on here, and Lin Yicheng couldn't help but start gossiping.

Eating melons is human nature and instinct.

"What else can we do? Let's just make a movie together." Fat Fan curled her lips. She felt very uncomfortable about this matter.

At the beginning, she received invitations to write scripts for two plays.

Now that the first film has been completed, the investors want to change cast.

The idea of ​​replacing someone already made Fat Fan angry, but in the end, he was replaced by Lin Ziwei!

When Fat Fan heard the news, he was so furious that his score was immediately dropped to E!

Lin Yicheng suddenly realized.

This version of "Investiture of the Gods" is a typical co-production model.

The mainland provides the resources and funds, while Taiwan provides the actors and behind-the-scenes work.

The first part was a hit and received good reviews, so the second part became even more popular and profitable.

Then we need to talk about this in detail.

Taiwan wants more say and to promote more of its own people.

Yongle Film and Television Company is certainly unwilling to give up its power and interests.

It seems that Yongle Film and Television Company suffered a loss this time and had to bow its head.

What’s the use of having money alone?

The company is not strong enough. How can we shoot the film without the actors and behind-the-scenes staff from Taiwan?
Besides, there is no copyright for "Investiture of the Gods". If you anger the people in Taiwan, they can just set up their own group without your Yongle Film and Television Company and not include you.

……

"The director and others need to be replaced, right?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"Before, Director Jin and Director Cheng were both optimistic about me, and they were the ones who insisted on letting me shoot the next part. However, the Taiwan side proposed to replace the person, and when Director Jin heard that it was Lin Xinru who was replaced, he didn't say anything. Director Cheng didn't want to be replaced and withdrew. The director of the next part has not been decided yet." "Ha, it's still the same old thing." Lin Yicheng said sarcastically.

Director Jin is Jin Guozhao, from Taiwan Province. Of course he has no objection to Daji being replaced by Lin Xinru, as they are all family.

Director Cheng is Cheng Lidong, a mainland director and the owner of Yongle Film and Television Company. He is from Shandong Province and is a fellow villager of Fan Xiaopang.

He stopped being a director, not because he and Fan Xiaopang were from the same hometown.

We are all adults, so we look at the pros and cons.

Even though he would not have the right to speak if he did not become a director, Yongle Film and Television Company could still reap the benefits as an investor. Otherwise, the Taiwan government would directly cut off the source of his income, and he would end up with nothing.

"Do you need me to help you with anything?" Lin Yicheng asked again.

"No need, I'll handle this matter myself, and I'll have a chance to settle accounts with her later."

Fat Fan refused.

She believed that if Lin Yicheng took action, she could get back the role of Daji.

But is it worth it?
This drama had nothing to do with Lin Yicheng or Xinghe Film and Television Company. She took it on when she was at Huayi.

Lin Yicheng can take action once or twice, but what if he takes action more than once?

Feelings and relationships need to be maintained. There is not much that Fan Xiaopang can do to help Lin Yicheng right now. In this situation, she doesn't want to become a troublemaker and a drag.

Fan Xiaopang knows clearly whether a character’s temporary interests or his long-term relationship with Lin Yicheng is more important.

……

Since Fat Fan didn't need it, Lin Yicheng didn't say anything more.

Of course, if he attacked too many times, he could intimidate his peers. Correspondingly, his peers would be on guard against him and would want to kill him first if they had the chance.

Who said that in the eyes of his peers, Lin Yicheng is a heretic?

"Anything else going on in the circle?"

It's sage time, and sages are also free, so they can find out more. Who knows which piece of information may be useful?
"Yang Lijuan sued King Liu?" Fat Fan thought for a moment and said.

"I'm just busy, not deaf." Lin Yicheng said unhappily.

In March, the "Yang Lijuan incident" shocked the entire entertainment industry and the audience.

For the first time, they realized that star-chasing could be so crazy and could result in such costs and consequences.

Who was wrong in this matter?

Is Yang Lijuan wrong?

She just wanted to chase stars and was just a crazy fan, she didn't do anything harmful.

Is Father Yang wrong?
He was just a father who wanted to fulfill his daughter's wish and speak up for her. The person is gone, and the dead are the greatest. What else could he do wrong?
Is King Liu wrong?

This time, the blame came from the sky while I was sitting at home. King Liu said he would not take the blame.

Is the media wrong?
Chasing hot topics, reporting on hot topics, and ensuring that the public has the right to know are the responsibilities of the media, and there is nothing wrong with that.

You see, it seems like no one is wrong, this is the entertainment industry.

……

Lin Yicheng was very glad that he didn't have such crazy fans.

Lin Yicheng's fan base is very complex.

From a career perspective, there are fans of songs, fans of books, and fans of dramas. These three categories have overlaps as well as differences.

Music fans can be divided into love song fans and inspirational song fans, book fans can be divided into Zhenhua book fans, Sou Shen book fans, and Ghost Blows Out the Light book fans, and drama fans can be divided into movie fans and TV drama fans.

Based on their identities, there are career fans, idol fans, brother and sister fans, mother fans, girlfriend fans, and even boyfriend fans, etc.

There are overlaps or mismatches here.

The composition of fans is so complex that Lin Yicheng can’t explain it, and neither can the fans themselves.

Since the fan composition is like this, Lin Yicheng has never forgotten to guide and manage his fans.

In this regard, it is mainly Grand Commander Zhao Feiyu who is doing the work. These fans, to some extent, are his reserve water army and are under his management.

Lin Yicheng knows too well the power of fans.

Fans can make their idols succeed, but they can also make their idols fail.

In later generations, there are many examples of people who were not attacked by their peers but were killed by their own fans.

Therefore, after the "Yang Lijuan incident" occurred, Lin Yicheng immediately appealed to his fans on his blog to be rational in chasing stars.

Love life, love yourself, love your family, and be a star chaser in moderation. This is the concept that Lin Yicheng constantly instills in his fans.

Grand Commander Zhao Feiyu was also on the Internet, tracking down where Lin Yicheng's fans gathered and stepping up guidance.

At the same time, Lin Yicheng asked his godfather to introduce a few more veterans to him as soon as possible.

Even if it is not to prevent crazy fans, it is necessary.

In later generations, it was 9102, and Ren Dahua was stabbed during an event!
It’s simply magical!
It is now 2007 and public security is no longer the same as it will be in the future, so Lin Yicheng has to be on guard.

He has so many enemies. Who can guarantee that one of them will not get drunk and get impulsive, find someone with a terminal illness or something and destroy him directly?
Or maybe, some madman, after watching too much TV, wanted to imitate "Bolang Yiji" and become famous from then on?

If you want to avoid getting hurt when you are in the world, you still have to be on guard.

It's not that I've messed with too many people, but I've developed paranoia.

Lin Yicheng would never admit this!
