Chapter 170 The circle is so fucking dirty and dark
Lin Yicheng was a little helpless. Both of his main targets had let him go, so how could he still stay?
The little idea I had just now was just a thought. As of now, it is not feasible at all.
"Okay, I'll go over first. Tiantian, you sit down for a while. If you want to walk around the set, that's fine. I'll find you when I'm done."
After Lin Yicheng finished speaking, he gave Fat Fan a look.
Fan Xiaopang's beautiful eyes just flashed, and he didn't say anything.
Lin Yicheng got out of the RV and saw Huang Bo and Uncle Gong craning their necks to look over here not far away.
Lin Yicheng was annoyed. You are so bad, Huang Bo. You were nowhere to be found when I needed help, but you are here to watch the fun.
……
Lin Yicheng walked over quickly, came to Huang Bo and Uncle Gong, and said in feigned anger: "You are such a good nephew, you even dare to watch your uncle's fun. If you keep watching, I will kick your legs and break them, believe it or not?"
As he said that, he kicked towards Huang Bo without much strength in his leg.
This scene is just like the lines from the filming of "Man Jiang Hong".
Huang Bo was also a dramatic actor. Seeing this, he immediately fell on Uncle Gong, shouting, "Uncle, I was wrong, I was wrong."
Uncle Gong was also busy supporting Huang Bo, and came out to make jokes, saying, "Commander Sun, let's forgive him this time."
"Yes, yes, uncle, please forgive me this time." Huang Bo hid behind Uncle Gong, grinning, showing his teeth, and said with a playful smile.
Lin Yicheng also laughed, and the depression in his heart disappeared.
……
"Director Lin, are you okay just now?" Huang Bo asked.
"What? Are you still hoping something happens to me?" Lin Yicheng glanced at him.
"How could that be? I'm just worried about you. You're the commander of the three armies and you can't have any mistakes. I'm also considering the crew and the good of the show." Huang Bo quickly waved his hands to explain, using Lin Yicheng's catchphrase.
Lin Yicheng's catchphrase has now spread in a small circle. At least the people in Xinghe Film and Television Company and the artists of Star Culture have all learned it.
However, the inner meaning of this sentence is far from its original intention.
"There's no chance of a mistake! As a man, you have to stand up and let the women know who has the final say! You didn't see me scolding those two when we got in the car just now. Now they are very obedient, just like quails."
Lin Yicheng started talking nonsense. As a man, no matter what his inner qualities are, he must not lose face.
Huang Bo secretly looked at Uncle Gong, and they understood each other tacitly.
Just now, Lin Yicheng followed Fan Xiaopang and Jing Tian happily, not even daring to say a word, as if he was about to be executed. They saw it clearly.
However, there is no need to point it out. We don't want to embarrass Director Lin.
"You are this one." Huang Bo gave a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Okay, let's all go. Let's not shoot today. We've all been very tired during this period." Lin Yicheng ordered.
He didn't feel like filming today, so it didn't matter if he stopped for a day, there was still enough time to make progress.
"Old Gu, notify the crew to take a day off. Also, notify the hotel to prepare a big meal at noon. Miss Jing will treat us all. Let's have a good meal and drink some wine."
Lin Yicheng shouted to Lao Gu again that of course he would pay for it, but the token of appreciation could be given to Jing Tian.
"Long live Director Lin!"
"Long live Miss Jing!"
After hearing Lin Yicheng's words, the crew also started to make a noise.
To be honest, the treatment and benefits of Lin Yicheng's crew are top-notch in the industry, much better than other crews.
There is just one thing, Lin Yicheng's requirements are too high, and once he enters the shooting state, he often works non-stop, which puts a lot of pressure on the crew.
They were all old people who had followed Lin Yicheng, so they could understand. If it weren't for this attitude of striving for perfection, how could they have made a movie that broke box office records?
……
Wait until the rest of the crew has packed up and left, and there's no one else around.
"Did you bring cigarettes?" Lin Yicheng asked.
"Here." Wang Liming took out a box of Changbai Mountain and handed it to Lin Yicheng.
Lin Yicheng flicked the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, gave it to Wang Liming, then took out another one for himself and put it in his mouth.
Wang Liming took the lighter and lit the cigarettes for Lin Yicheng and himself.
"I say, why are you still smoking this?" Lin Yicheng asked, exhaling a puff of smoke.
Lin Yicheng doesn't care about the brand of cigarettes. Good or bad ones are fine. However, considering Wang Liming's income, smoking this kind of cigarette is a bit cheap.
Lao Wang is no longer the same as he used to be.
For this movie alone, the photographer's salary was 300 million, which is only slightly lower than that of photographers of Zhao Xiaoding's level.
Adding the actors' salaries, Lao Wang took nearly 400 million yuan in total. What is a royal servant? What is a brother?
It's not just talk.
"I'm used to the brand from my hometown. I can't get used to any other brand."
"You are like a wild boar that can't eat fine bran." Lin Yicheng scolded with a smile.
Lao Wang is stingy with himself, but he is really generous with those actresses. He buys them bags and clothes worth tens of thousands of dollars without blinking an eye.
It's like riding a bike to the bar, saving where you can and spending where you can.
However, Lin Yicheng didn't say anything about this. They were all adults and had their own way of life. Even if they were brothers, there was no need to persuade them too much.
"Are you really okay?" Wang Liming nodded towards the RV, a little worried.
It doesn't matter if the women he's dating get into a car accident. They're all business transactions based on mutual consent. Who cares about that?
He naturally knew Lin Yicheng's situation, which was completely different from his.
"It's stable for now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
Lin Yicheng did not hide anything from his brothers.
"Jing Tian is fine. She is simple-minded and her heart is with me. As long as I can make a promise to her and marry her in the future, there won't be any problem."
"The key is with Fatty Fan. You know the methods of these sisters. Even if they are stable now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future, and there will be times of worry."
"You are so lucky to have two wives." Wang Liming smacked his lips. "It's better to be like me. I only care about the body, not the heart. If we are compatible, we can sleep together more. If not, it's just a one-time deal."
"You're really fucking depraved. I never realized before that you still have such a shady mind." Lin Yicheng said insultingly to him.
"Come on, let's not say anything about each other. When I first met you, you were either in class, running around the library, or going back home to write novels."
Wang Liming was a little unconvinced, and continued: "I know that there were girls who were not from the acting class who were attracted to you, but you rejected them openly or secretly. At that time, I thought you were a serious person who was not interested in women, but I didn't expect that you were so promiscuous."
"So, this circle is really fucking dirty. A good person comes in and after a while, he or she will become a bad person." Lin Yicheng said.
"That's right. It's really fucking dirty. Ambitious young people like us have been led astray and degraded." Wang Liming agreed deeply.
Lin Yicheng glanced at Wang Liming and said nothing.
He had seen through Lao Wang's little tricks a long time ago, but now that he had become famous and had money, he could no longer hide them, and his true nature was completely exposed.
But, we are all brothers, and it’s always right for the eldest brother to blame the second brother and not blame the circle or the environment.
……
"Old Lin."
"Ah."
"I think you have changed." Wang Liming blew out a smoke ring, looking a little serious.
"Really? I don't think so."
"Yes, it has changed a lot." Wang Liming threw the cigarette butt out of his mouth and crushed it with his foot.
"Others may not be able to see it from you in the past, but I know that you are arrogant and conceited. You look down on your classmates. You are a talented person, so this is normal." Wang Liming took out another cigarette, lit it, and continued.
"But at that time, generally speaking, you were quite humble and kind to others. No matter if they were classmates or teachers, they all saw it that way."
"But you've changed now. Let's not talk about how you dealt with Seven Swords. It was business competition, so I understand. Let's talk about how you dealt with Dong Yang Qing Yu and Mu Xiao Guang. Although I don't know exactly what method you used, but..."
Wang Liming hesitated, but continued, "But you really have too many enemies. Especially with this movie, I'm afraid you will offend all your colleagues."
"Yes, your godfather is awesome, but he is not from our circle after all. The county magistrate is better off being in charge now."
"Mr. Han San, that old fox, can use you now and is willing to help you, but if something bad really happens, I dare say that this old fox will run away faster than anyone else. After all, what he values most is the position under his buttocks."
"And Lao Xie, Lao Wang and the others, they are good to you, but you are just one of their many students, not their son. They have no problem with you playing a supporting role and helping out a little. But can you count on them for other things?"
Lin Yicheng just smoked silently and listened to Wang Liming speak.
"You have offended the Hong Kong circle. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a deep hatred between you. You have also offended the Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Add to that these colleagues in the circle, and this time it is almost the same."
“Even if you were made of iron, how many nails could you hammer into the wall?”
"A tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves. You can stop them once, twice, can you guarantee that you can keep doing it in the future? The two brothers of Huayi, Fatty Yu from Bona, Lao Wang from Guangguang, and Da Gou from Xiaoma, do you really dare to underestimate them?"
"They may not be doing anything now because of various reasons and concerns. Who knows, they may be planning something bad and are ready to do something ruthless to you out of the blue. What will you do then?"
"Two fists can't beat four hands. Which of these old men is not a hero, which one is not a big boss?"
"Yes, if you have something to do, I will rush in with you without saying a word, but I, Wang Liming, am nothing! How big a wave can I create if I throw more than 200 pounds in? How can I help you?"
"Let me ask you, if there is something wrong, who can help you?"
"Lao Lin, this circle is so fucking dirty and shady. I'm really scared. I'm really afraid that one day they will trick you and ruin you..."
"Give me another one." Lin Yicheng said.
