Chapter 159 You can lift the lid, but you can’t lift the table
If it was when he first met Fan Xiaopang, if she was so jealous and petty, Lin Yicheng would have lost his patience long ago and would not have explained anything.

But people are all made of flesh and blood, and after spending such a long time together, Lin Yicheng also developed real feelings for Fan Xiaopang.

Even though Lin Yicheng's principle is not to take the initiative, not to refuse, and not to take responsibility, he is still willing to make an exception when facing Fan Xiaopang.

Fan Xiaopang's thoughts and ideas have always been written directly on his face, without any concealment.

Therefore, Lin Yicheng is still willing to be responsible for her, but he cannot promise some things. After all, he is not sincere and his feelings are a little scattered.

……

Lin Yicheng made a long story short and simply explained the reasons and consequences of Gao Yuanyuan's guest appearance.

"Don't worry, I have no plans to sign her to the company." Lin Yicheng said finally.

Gao Yuanyuan's acting skills are really hard to describe. It's okay when she meets a role that suits her, such as Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Tao, where she can play herself.

But when it comes to characters with some depth, this sister is at a loss and feels awkward no matter how she acts.

Why sign her to the company?

Any role that she can play, Fan Xiaopang can play, and any role that she cannot play, Fan Xiaopang can also play.

And the most important point is that Gao Yuanyuan’s commercial value is not high and she is not favored by manufacturers and brands. Lin Yicheng is a little puzzled by this and can’t figure out the specific reason.

"Really?" Fat Fan confirmed again. When he saw Lin Yicheng nodded, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Xiaopang knew Lin Yicheng's character and knew that he would not make any promises easily, but once he promised, he would definitely do it.

……

"Kiss me." Fat Fan suddenly said.

"what?"

"Ah what? Kiss me!"

Seeing Lin Yicheng standing there motionless, Fatty Fan urged, "Are you still being reserved? Where's your bravery in bed? Come on, kiss me."

Lin Yicheng looked back first. The corridor was very quiet. There was no one else and no cameras.

Lin Yicheng approached Fan Xiaopang, hugged her, and just as he lowered his head, Fan Xiaopang took the initiative to come over and kissed him on the lips.

Lips and teeth touch, tongues entwine, saliva exchanges...

A few minutes later, the two separated, panting.

It was impossible not to tell the difference. Fat Fan's eyes were blurred and his hands began to reach towards Lin Yicheng's lower body.

Lin Yicheng didn't want to say anything unspeakable in such an occasion.

Fat Fan reached out and wiped the corner of Lin Yicheng's mouth, removing the remaining lipstick.

"How does it taste? Not worse than 'Kissing Girl', right?" asked Fat Fan, his voice a little naive.

"Auntie, that's enough. I haven't touched her, so how should I know?" Lin Yicheng was helpless.

Fatty Fan curled his lips and said, "So what if she's a kissing girl? So what if she's the girl next door?"

Lin Yicheng still looks down on you!
At this moment, Fan Xiaopang felt extremely satisfied, as if he had completely widened the gap between himself and Gao Yuanyuan.

"But you have to be careful and don't be fooled by her appearance. The more she looks like this, the more likely she is to deceive people. She is not an easy person to deal with."

Fan Xiaopang finally added a sentence, wanting to completely block any possibility of Gao Yuanyuan entering Xinghe Film and Television Company.

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Yicheng agreed verbally, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. Although she was not an easy person to deal with, she was still far inferior to you, Fan Xiaopang.

……

In the evening, the crew re-shot the part where Chen Jiawei and Jiang Zhiping went to Wang Decai to get money and met their "godsister".

The roles are relatively simple, with the lines mainly concentrated on Lin Yicheng, Uncle Gong and Wang Decai.

Wang Decai also followed Lin Yicheng's instructions and repeated the joke he told the day before. This part is a good highlight and is very effective.

As for Gao Yuanyuan, she only had a few lines to say. The rest of the time, she only needed to be beautiful, quietly lean on Wang Decai, show her dependence on, admiration for, and love for her "brother", and quietly act as a vase.

This was really not difficult at all for Gao Yuanyuan, as she acted completely in her true self.

After the photoshoot, Gao Yuanyuan still felt a little regretful. It was a pity that the person she was leaning on was not Lin Yicheng at the time, and she did not have the opportunity to spend more time with Lin Yicheng.

Although Wang Decai is rich and is a real coal boss, Gao Yuanyuan really doesn't like him, and it's because Wang Decai is not good-looking.

What she likes are talented men. As long as they are talented, appearance, wealth and other things are not important. The more talented they are, the more attractive they are to her.

Well, from this point of view, Gao Yuanyuan is obviously a person who has transcended vulgar tastes and has higher artistic pursuits.

……

The evening scenes were filmed smoothly.

Before leaving, Lin Yicheng noticed that there was something wrong with the way Gao Yuanyuan looked at him. There was a hint of expectation and desire in her eyes, like a series of hooks.

Lin Yicheng pretended not to see it and left the set directly, but he secretly sighed in his heart, who said Gao Yuanyuan is a vase and has no acting skills?

Just that little look just now was all drama!
If this scene was filmed, it could be used as classic teaching material in film schools.

If we just want to hang out and talk about the script, and if you want me to give you some advice on acting, Lin Yicheng will certainly not refuse.

Unfortunately, the timing was not right, Fat Fan was still in the crew.

Lin Yicheng could imagine that if he dared to play a luminous script with Gao Yuanyuan tonight, then Fat Fan would make sure Gao Yuanyuan wouldn't see the sun tomorrow!
So, after returning to the room, Lin Yicheng once again turned into a brick mover and worked hard to move bricks. I don't know if it was because of Gao Yuanyuan, but tonight Lin Yicheng worked exceptionally well, as if he was tireless. In the end, the bricks couldn't stand it anymore!

After Fan Xiaopang begged for mercy repeatedly, Lin Yicheng let her go. She would have a part tomorrow, and it was more important than anything else, so she couldn’t delay it.

……

The next day, the crew continued filming.

We first filmed a scene featuring Chen Jiawei and Jiang Zhiping.

At first, Jiang Zhiping wanted to find his favorite, Bai Yueguang, the 18th-tier actress from Hong Kong Island, to be the female lead, and Chen Jiawei was forced to agree.

Unfortunately, the Hong Kong and Taiwan 100th-tier actor, who was not very famous but had a bad temper, directly asked for a film salary of million, which he had to be paid in one lump sum in advance and would not accept payments in installments.

It is obvious that he looks down on Jiang Zhiping and his film.

Jiang Zhiping had no choice but to give up with great reluctance.

The crew had a total of 500 million in funds. He took 100 million for himself and bought a car. He still needed to give another 100 million to Chen Jiawei.

This is almost 300 million. If that Hong Kong 100th-tier actor was given another million, there would be no point in making this movie!
Although Jiang Zhiping is greedy and shameless, he also wants to make this movie. After all, this is his first time as a producer.

Besides, he already had plans for the remaining funds of the crew, so of course he couldn't mess up the plan.

As long as he has this successful experience of filming, he can confidently tell others that he is a well-known producer with representative works.

In this way, it would be much easier to continue making money.

White moonlight is nice, but it cannot be eaten.

To have a full meal or to have a full meal every time, this choice is not difficult to make.

In this scene, the Hong Kong actress did not appear on screen, and it was impossible for Lin Yicheng to really find an actress from there. He only gave a side description through Jiang Zhiping's phone call.

……

Afterwards, screenwriter Luo Xiaobing, played by Yue Xiaojun, appeared on the stage. His appearance gave people a rather unlucky feeling without even needing any makeup.

Luo Xiaobing, a down-and-out screenwriter, has never had the right to author his own name and makes a living by writing gossip articles about his circle.

After learning that I had the opportunity to be solely responsible for a script and have the final right to sign it, I came here immediately.

Luo Xiaobing didn't care about the pay at all. Screenwriters have low status and low pay, and this is especially true for a screenwriter like him who is taking on a leading role for the first time.

Luo Xiaobing had only one request, that in the early stages, Chen Jiawei could participate in the script writing, but once the draft was finalized, the subsequent filming had to be based on his script.

After Chen Jiawei's repeated assurances, Luo Xiaobing became full of fighting spirit, as if he had seen the day when he would become a famous screenwriter, and he wrote with divine inspiration.

Here, Luo Xiaobing is preparing the script.

On the other side, Chen Jiawei called her dream lover, secret crush, the low-profile version of Fan Xiaopang - Zhang Miaomiao, and asked her to come quickly to play the leading female role.

After Zhang Miaomiao received the call and confirmed again and again that Chen Jiawei was not joking, she left the crew, gritted her teeth, and bought a ticket to fly to Chang'an as quickly as possible.

I'm going to be the heroine! Why would I want to play a supporting role?

When I become famous, I’ll be surrounded by extras!
After Chen Jiawei contacted Zhang Miaomiao, he continued to call people. He has been in the circle for so long and has gotten to know quite a few people.

Li Wenhan, a veteran extra played by Huang Bo and a well-known extra in Hengdian.

Chen Feiwu, played by Wang Liming, is currently working as a photographer in a pet photo studio.

In addition, there were lighting technicians, prop masters, makeup artists, etc., all of whom were invited by Chen Jiawei.

Soon, a makeshift troupe was formed. However, the quality could not be said to be just a shoddy job, but it could be said to be a bunch of mismatched characters.

Chen Jiawei had no choice but to do nothing about this. Although he had been in the circle for several years, his level was just that.

He couldn't get along with anyone who was famous, and they simply looked down on his crew.

This group of people at the moment is the best choice he can find.

This part of the content is also based on Lin Yicheng's real experience. When filming "Hello, Old Times", the members in front of and behind the scenes were basically the same, but it was just a little better.

Especially those people behind the scenes back then, from Lin Yicheng's perspective now, what a bunch of crap they were!

……

The script hasn't been written, let alone submitted for review, but the crew was already set up. No matter how you look at it, it's extremely unreliable.

This is really not something Lin Yicheng made up. This situation is very common in the current domestic film and television circles. The crews of those who make money from coal mining bosses are basically like this.

Lin Yicheng can confidently say that his film "How a Bad Movie Was Made" is completely adapted from real events and is a realistic film.

Moreover, this is not just critical, but also a slightly beautified version of what Lin Yicheng looks like.

The real situation in the circle is even more chaotic and dirty than this!

However, Lin Yicheng couldn't really capture all the dirt and mess.

If that really happens, apart from anything else, the audience’s three views will probably be completely destroyed and they will completely lose confidence in domestic films from then on.

This will not benefit Lin Yicheng or Xinghe Film and Television Company at all.

Lin Yicheng still wants to stay in the circle and make a living, so of course he can't do something like this that will ruin his career.

What's more, if we really film it as it is, I'm afraid we won't even get the Dragon Mark.

Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen made it very clear at the beginning that they could take pictures, but they had to strike a balance.

The movie "How a Bad Movie is Made" can have appropriate criticism and appropriate satire, but it cannot really expose the truth. If it does, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Tong Gang, Zhang Hongsen and others?
