Chapter 190: To be a great director, you must be able to make predictions (vote request)
After leaving the KTV, Lin Yicheng returned to the hotel.

Today's filming task was completed as scheduled, and the cooperation with the coal bosses also went smoothly.

Wang Decai made the decision directly, and they would give Lin Yicheng 20% ​​of the shares in the film and television company they would establish in the future.

Lin Yicheng does not have a name on the project, does not hold any position, and does not need to contribute any money. He only needs to provide some necessary filming crew and relevant scripts.

This sincerity is sufficient.

As for the remaining 80% of the shares, how the coal bosses divide it among themselves is their own business and Lin Yicheng will not get involved.

Needless to say, it's been a hard night.

……

The next day, the crew continued filming as usual, and today's content was also the highlight.

After Wang Decai asked the clever man to deliver the money, Jiang Zhiping did not lie and only took 300 million for himself. The remaining 200 million was actually used for publicity and promotion.

Jiang Zhiping doesn’t care about the final box office performance of this drama. He has already received the money he deserves.

The total investment was 1500 million yuan, and he himself took more than 1000 million yuan, and also bought a car.

enough.

Jiang Zhiping also knew that it would be a miracle if such a bad movie could have good box office.

What he cares about is whether the drama can be successfully released, become his masterpiece as a producer, and become a qualification he can show off when he makes money in the future.

As for the box office numbers, the worst that can happen is that I can just brag about them later.

Nowadays, let alone people outside the circle, even people inside the circle can’t figure out the specific box office figures of many movies.

……

After Jiang Zhiping's suggestion, this youth campus drama was finally named "Hello, Old Times in Meteor Campus".

Well, the main purpose is to ride on the popularity of "Meteor Garden" and "Hello, Old Times".

As for publicity, it is very simple and can be summed up in six words - bragging and gimmicks.

Jiang Zhiping spent money to hire a group of second-rate tabloid reporters and several professional online gunmen.

Gave enough remuneration and benefits.

Soon, related news reports, posts, comments, etc. appeared.

"Hello, Old Times in Meteor Campus" has created a new pattern for domestic youth campus dramas!"

"From an excellent actor to a director, the well-known actor Chen Jiawei crosses over to directing, and his new film "Hello, Old Times in Meteor Campus" is coming!"

"After three years of hard work, Chen Jiawei claims that Hello, Old Times on Meteor Campus is a sincere work that he has worked so hard on!"

"With a cost of 800 million US dollars, the most expensive youth campus drama in domestic film history was born!"

"Chen Jiawei said in an interview that several top actresses, including Fan Bingbing, had been interested in the drama, but ultimately missed out due to scheduling and other factors!"

"In-depth reveal: what is the magic of "Hello, the Old Times in Meteor Campus" that can attract the favor of so many actresses?"

……

All kinds of shameless propaganda have appeared in some tabloids, magazines and online forums.

Lin Yicheng himself became famous through publicity, so he naturally understands the essence of this.

Whether it is "N years of hard work" or "a sincere work with painstaking efforts", this kind of promotional slogan is really being overused.

After the movie "How Bad Movies Are Made" is released, the audience will definitely understand what is going on when they see this.

It turns out that the so-called “N years of hard work to sharpen a sword” is really like this, it’s all a bullshit trick.

That is the fact.

Film and television works are sometimes very similar to other products. Their concepts and creativity all have a certain timeliness.

If you have a good idea, of course you have to shoot it immediately, otherwise someone else might get there first.

Or after a few years, they may have become clichés or no longer be in line with the trend of the times, and then these ideas and concepts will be worthless.

There are people who have creative ideas but need to polish them for several years, but the probability is lower than winning the lottery. It is self-evident why everyone promotes this.

……

Don't be impatient. After a few years, when those actors and singers have crossed over to become directors and made a bunch of bad movies, the audience will definitely remember this plot in "How Bad Movies Are Made".

Lin Yicheng could imagine that by then, there would be a lot of archaeologists appearing in the comments of "How Bad Movies Are Made".

The audience will also regret it.

It turns out that Director Lin had predicted this a long time ago and reminded us a long time ago!
Lin Yicheng is looking forward to this.

As a director, if you can't make some accurate predictions, how can you dare to call yourself a great director?
He can’t and dare not predict other aspects, but regarding the crossover between actors and singers, there will be no problem.

……

The promotional poster for "Hello, Old Times in Meteor Campus" has also been produced, based on Chen Jiawei's original idea.

There is no one else on the poster except Zhang Miaomiao and her "godsister".

The two of them were wearing specially made short school uniforms, with their white arms and thighs showing where they should be, and where they shouldn't be showing, unclear.

Both of them had their clothes soaked with sweat, and the main focus was on the temptation.

The purpose is to attract a group of male audiences, let them go to the cinema and criticize the film.

The story basically ends here.

How the drama "Hello, Old Times in Meteor Campus" was released and what kind of box office it achieved was not the key point as Lin Yicheng did not shoot it.

What's more, Lin Yicheng doesn't know how to shoot.

Could it be that he has to teach those bad movies step by step how to release them and make money?

The audience won’t care about this. It’s already obvious that it’s a terrible movie, so there’s no need to elaborate on it.

……

The next part is the finishing touch.

In the camera, Chen Jiawei was calling Jiang Zhiping, but he couldn't get through after several calls, and the other party's phone was turned off.

"Fuck it, this bastard ran away with the money." Chen Jiawei cursed.

Chen Jiawei had long anticipated Jiang Zhiping's escape and was not surprised.

After this segment, the camera changes again and through editing, it will focus on Wang Decai.

In a dim and small room, Wang Decai sat opposite another person.

There was no frontal shot of that person, only a back view.

"Thank you for your hard work this time." Wang Decai said as he pushed an envelope over.

"Take money from others and help them get rid of their misfortunes." The person on the other side spoke in a hoarse voice, and there was a close-up of the hand that received the envelope.

It was a tattoo, a rattlesnake with a dagger in its mouth.

It is very obvious who this person is and what he did for Wang Decai.

"I am a person who follows rules the most, and I hate others breaking them the most." The light was dim, and Wang Decai's expression could not be seen clearly, but his tone was very cold.

……

This scene can only be shot like this, otherwise it will not pass the review.

Lin Yicheng also asked Wang Decai for his opinion on whether he was willing to shoot this segment.

Wang Decai didn't care about it and just let him take pictures.

First of all, the reputation of coal bosses in society is already bad enough, and this little bit of damage is not a big deal at all.

Secondly, he and his brothers will soon no longer be coal bosses but people in the arts and literature circles. Why do they still care about this?
