Chapter 171 If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight

Holding the cigarette handed to him by Wang Liming and waiting for him to light it, Lin Yicheng squatted down beside a nearby flower bed.

That was because they were on the set and there was no one around. Otherwise, given Lin Yicheng's current condition, it would have been big news if it got out.

Wang Liming also sat next to them, but with his body size, it was a bit difficult for him to squat.

"Lao Wang, how old are you?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"I was born in 83, one year older than you. You know that."

"Yeah, you were born in 83, I was born in 84, we are both in our early twenties at best. Just take Lao Mouzi and the great director Kai Ge, for example, what were they doing when they were our age?"

"Lao Mouzi should have been working as a worker in a cotton textile factory at that time, and Kaige, a big director, must have been walking around the streets and strolling around on the streets." Wang Liming thought for a while and said.

"Compared to them, we are much luckier. When they were our age, they didn't even know how to operate a camera." Lin Yicheng took a puff of his cigarette and continued.

……

"It's better to become famous early. Zhang Ailing is not a very good person. This statement is still correct. I became famous at a young age, and it has been smooth sailing all the way."

"Back then I told you that you wanted to compete with Lao Mouzi, and now you have done it, and you have even defeated him."

"If I were like everyone else, with no connections, no background, and no fame, I would still be willing to lose face and pretend to be a son or a grandson. If someone hits me on the right cheek, I would move my left cheek closer and adjust my posture to make the hit more comfortable."

"But this is a hypothetical situation, not reality. Since I have connections, a background, and the ability, why should I pretend to be a grandson and be servile? Isn't this a humiliation?"

There is a sentence that Lin Yicheng did not say. He had had enough of this kind of life in his previous life, where he had to swallow his anger, say nice things to everyone, and bow his head when he met someone.

"If you are not young and energetic, how can you still be called a young person? Now I am still young, I am adventurous, and I am not afraid of losing anything. This is my best opportunity. If I wait a few years and get older, I will have more concerns. By then, I am afraid that this energy will dissipate."

"Think about those old people you mentioned just now. They were able to build a empire with bare hands. They were all ambitious and full of ambitions. But what about now? They have a big family and a big business. I am about to shit on their necks, but they still have to think about it over and over again."

This time it was Wang Liming's turn to remain silent and just listen quietly.

……

"In fact, I have tried these companies to varying degrees."

"Huayi and I have a grudge against each other because of the Fatty Fan incident. Now that they are going public, they dare not do anything. Some time ago, I poached some people from Guangguang and Bona and formed a distribution team. Lao Wang and Fatty Yu didn't say anything. And Ning Hao, I heard that Da Gou had some ideas about him before, but now I have intercepted him. And the Hong Kong circle didn't succeed in dealing with me last time, so they have temporarily stopped their efforts."

"You can do it once or twice, but not again or again. The longer they remain silent, the more ferocious and brutal their actions will be in the future."

"I can't guess what these old guys are up to. But, my godfather is there. They don't dare to use some overly extreme methods, so the rest are all within the explicit and implicit rules."

"What a coincidence. I'm not a person who follows the rules, so I'm not afraid of them doing something to me within the rules."

"It's like a free-fight. When they get on the ring, they are not allowed to do this or that. They are used to it and do it subconsciously. But if I don't follow the rules at this time and even pull out a gun, what do you think will happen?"

"You, you..." Wang Liming was stunned by Lin Yicheng's words, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't worry, I'm not crazy. I was just making an analogy. Look how scared you are." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.

"I'm really afraid that you've gone crazy." Wang Liming said unhappily.

……

"Since they all had their own reasons for not taking action immediately, they missed the best opportunity, which gave me time and opportunity to prepare."

"In chess, if you lose the first move, it will be difficult to recover later."

"So what are your plans?" Wang Liming couldn't help but ask.

"Just this time, when this movie is released, don't come one by one. Just drag them all to the stage and have a good fight."

"It's a group fight. When there are too many people, the relationship will be chaotic. At that time, there will always be opportunities and room for me to show my strength."

"Whether I focus on one of them and beat him to death, or encourage him to rebel and beat others together, it all depends on my method."

"Are you sure?" Wang Liming swallowed. Even though he was not involved in the matter, he could feel a sense of impending storm from Lin Yicheng's words.

"No." Lin Yicheng spread his hands in a very bachelor-like manner.

Wang Liming: “…”

“Running water never rots, and a door hinge never rots. This world is too peaceful, so there are so many dirty things that slowly accumulate and hide.”

"This time, with some movement and a fight, some things will be exposed, and the higher-ups will know the real situation and how to deal with it in the future."

Lin Yicheng stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky. "You mean?" Wang Liming's pupils shrank, and he was a little bit unbelievable.

"This is my greatest helper..." Lin Yicheng nodded.

……

For some things, it took him a long time, after repeated thinking and pondering, before he gradually came to understand them.

Huayi didn't take action because it was held back by the listing. What about the Hong Kong circle? No one in them needs to go public, so why is it so quiet? Even if someone is clamoring, there is no leader. Is it not a big deal?
After Lin Yicheng met with Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen last time, these two big guys have not made any move or follow-up.

Lin Yicheng didn't believe that they didn't find anything.

Then, their attitude is very intriguing.

Sometimes, not expressing an opinion is the best statement, which can make people more fearful and worried.

In Shaanxi Province, this year he, who is just in his early twenties, will be selected as an "Outstanding Youth" and ranked high.

The film "How a Bad Movie Was Made" started shooting smoothly again, with strong support from the local Chang'an area, which was beyond imagination.

In Beijing, the topic of this year's college entrance examination happens to be "Man Jiang Hong". This is Beijing!
Up to now, no voice has been heard from within the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and it is obvious that it has been suppressed.

In addition, he had been praised and supported by the higher-ups through the media before.

……

If Lin Yicheng still can't understand and think through all these clues, then he would be a fool.

What exactly is the entertainment industry?
It is a spiritual position and an ideology.

Movies are never just movies.

You know, going back twenty years, a good movie could be sent directly into the "sea".

The director of the film will also be received!

The Olympics are coming soon, but the public opinion environment at this time, both at home and abroad, is quite worrying.

Why did you shoot "Red River" before? Was it really because of the audience's vote?

Although Lin Yicheng values ​​his audience, he is not willing to let them make decisions for him.

"Man Jiang Hong" appeared and was also seen above.

So the relevant news media supported it, and various units reserved the venue...

The result was that Lin Yicheng won both box office success and honors.

Is this new movie really just meant to satirize all the ugliness and chaos in the circle?

He, Lin Yicheng, is not a saint, nor is he an entertainment industry figure like Mr. Wang.

You know, the situation in Hong Kong Island...

After all, I have been away from home for nearly a hundred years, and some external influences and remnants cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

It was obvious that the higher-ups were watching Lin Yicheng's performance, waiting for his move, and then taking advantage of the situation and preparing to do something.

Although this is used as a gun, not everyone is qualified to use this gun.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Got titles and honors, received support and praise.

Lin Yicheng also has to pay a corresponding price and take corresponding actions.

That's fair enough.

Besides, there is no harm in following the instructions, and you can’t go wrong.

Lin Yicheng finished the last puff of his cigarette, pinched out the butt, and looked up at the sky. It was cloudless and clear as a speck of dust.

"The golden monkey rises with great strength, and the jade moon clarifies thousands of miles."

Lin Yicheng smiled.
