Chapter 229 You must remember to revitalize China

For the sake of Dachengzi's career, Jingtian acted quickly and efficiently.

Three days later, Lin Yicheng met Wang Jianlin, the big boss who happened to be in Beijing on business.

After getting to know him, Lin Yicheng discovered that Lao Wang was a very down-to-earth person.

Not arrogant or domineering.

There is no self-righteousness, nor is there any contempt for mortals.

After briefly asking about the HL brand, Mr. Wang readily agreed to allow HL brand products to be sold in Wanda Shopping Mall.

The location is also very good, in a prime area of ​​the shopping mall, close to those internationally renowned brands.

Dalao Wang also offered some discounts on rent and other fees.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Yicheng further strengthened his cooperation with Lao Wang.

In the future, the films of Galaxy Film and Television Company will receive certain preferential treatment when scheduled in Wanda Cinemas.

Correspondingly, Wanda’s shopping mall will be embedded in the modern dramas produced by Galaxy Film and Television Company.

Of course it’s not a free implant. We are all adults and this is business.

The condition proposed by Da Lao Wang is exclusivity during product placement, that is, only Wanda Shopping Mall can appear in the same film or TV series, and the names or logos of other shopping malls cannot appear.

After considering it, Lin Yicheng agreed. This was not excessive. Many brands would make this request when doing product placement.

Everything was done to please him, and before leaving, Big Wang specifically called Lin Yicheng to stop.

"Xiao Lin, your idea of ​​creating a national brand is a good one. It will benefit the country and the people and bring glory to the country. I have something to say to you."

"Uncle Wang, you say." Big Wang is Jing Tian's Uncle Wang. Lin Yicheng and Jing Tian are a couple, so there is nothing wrong with calling him Uncle Wang.

"Revitalize China!" Big Wang patted Lin Yicheng on the shoulder with a serious face.

"Okay, Uncle Wang, I will definitely remember it."

Lin Yicheng felt a little strange.

It seems that this is what Master Wang also told Young Master Wang before he went to study in the UK.

……

At the end of September, all post-production related to "How Bad Movies Are Made" was completed.

Lin Yicheng could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Wang Liming can also breathe a sigh of relief and return to the right path, continuing to observe and discover new actresses and make due contributions to the entertainment industry.

As soon as I walked out of the editing room, my cell phone rang.

It was Mr. Yu, the coal boss, who called.

"Brother, our company is ready. Brother Wang is the chairman, and I am the vice chairman and general manager. I have made you an honorary director."

"No problem. By the way, bro, what's the name of the company?"

"MediaConnect Global Entertainment, what do you think?"

“Very good, simple and catchy.”

That’s right, the media connects the world, gets straight to the point, simple and straightforward.

It can also be abbreviated as "Meiquan", which is a homonym of "Meiquan".

Who says coal bosses are uneducated?
"Brother, we have no problems here. When will your personnel and projects be in place?"

"Don't worry, bro. I won't let you down. Just wait for my news."

"Well, I'll just wait for the good news."

……

"What? You want me to play the leading role in a horror movie?"

In Lin Yicheng's office, Yue Xiaojun shouted in surprise.

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Lin Yicheng looked very calm.

"No, Director Lin. If you let me be the screenwriter, I'm good at writing scripts. It's no problem for me to play a minor role or something."

Yue Xiaojun was very conflicted, with wrinkles all over his face.

"But as the leading actor, Director Lin, to be honest, I'm really not professional at this."

Yue Xiaojun recited his classic lines from "Crazy Stone".

"Brother Yue, how long have we known each other?" Lin Yicheng came to Yue Xiaojun and patted his shoulder.

"It's been more than two years, Director Lin. I know what you mean. You've been in my debt. If it weren't for you, I'd probably still be hanging around in those crews. For this, I'll be grateful for the rest of my life."

"But I really can't do this. How about you try someone else?"

Yue Xiaojun still looked embarrassed.

"Brother Yue, you are over 30 this year, right? The ancients said that a person should be independent at 30. Brother Yue, have you got married? Have you established a career? Or in other words, do you have a girlfriend?"

Yue Xiaojun remained silent, as Lin Yicheng's words touched a sore spot.

"Brother Yue, we are old friends, so I'll tell you the truth. What do you think of your looks? Those women, they..."

"Brother Yue, you know that these horror movies are invested by the coal bosses, right?"

"Yeah." Yue Xiaojun nodded sullenly.

"You should understand the aesthetic taste of coal bosses. There will be absolutely no problem with that."

"As for the heroine, it may be their own honey, you can't touch it. As for the second female lead, the third female lead, etc...."

"Brother Yue, I will give you the title of producer, then..."

"Director Lin, please stop talking." Yue Xiaojun interrupted and said seriously:

"I don't have any other advantages, but I am willing to constantly break through and challenge myself. I will take this job."

"That's right. I believe, Brother Yue, you will not regret your decision now."

Lin Yicheng said with a smile.

In a horror movie, who cares whether the actor looks good or not?

In other words, who cares if there are male actors or not?

With Yue Xiaojun's appearance, it is perfect for him to act in a horror movie!

Yue Xiaojun also smiled, and everything was said without words.

……

We have the producer, screenwriter, and leading actor, and the only thing left is the director.

It just so happened that Liu Kang was currently idle and had nothing to do after finishing filming "The Eternal Number".

How could Lin Yicheng, who is already a qualified boss, bear to see his company's employees being so unmotivated?

So, after Yue Xiaojun left, Lin Yicheng called Liu Kang to his office again.

"Old Liu, I've been in trouble recently."

Liu Kang heard these words as soon as he came in.

"I am now like Liu Bang trapped on Mount Baideng. I need you, the invincible Zhao Zilong..."

"Boss Lin, if you have anything to say or anything you need me to do, just tell me."

Liu Bang was a bit upset, so Zhao Zilong led Liu Bang out of the siege and created the glory of the Tang Dynasty again...

He had heard this set of rhetoric once before and remembered it clearly.

"It's so satisfying. I knew you were a satisfying person, Lao Liu."

Lin Yicheng patted Liu Kang's arm again and praised him.

"Then I'll be frank. At present, the company doesn't have any projects suitable for you. I guess you are just itching to do something and can't sit still."

"Isn't this a coincidence? There are a few horror movies right now that are in need of directors, you see..."

"Let me make a horror movie? No, this is really not possible." Liu Kang raised his voice and shook his head vigorously.

"What's wrong with horror movies? Do you look down on horror movies?" Lin Yicheng asked back.

"It's not that I look down on you, the point is that I'm really not good at this and I don't have any experience."

Liu Kang is clear about his own abilities and strengths. He has no problem filming modern urban romance dramas, and he is also good at filming period war dramas.

He has no experience in other subjects or fields.

Lin Yicheng was also aware of Liu Kang's abilities. After all, he was an old acquaintance from his previous life.

……

"Old Liu, let me ask you, are you willing to be a TV director for the rest of your life? Have you ever thought about making a movie?"

Liu Kang was silent.

Who wants to make TV series if they can make movies?
The chain of contempt in the circle does exist.

"Lao Liu, just tell me directly whether you want to make a movie or not."

"Yes." Liu Kang answered straightforwardly.

"Isn't that the end? Horror movies require little investment and have a quick turnaround. Is there anything more suitable for training than this?" "I'm telling you, there isn't any! As long as you make a few of these and accumulate experience, I will definitely give you a chance for the company's movies in the future."

Liu Kang is indeed capable and reliable.

In the previous TV series he filmed, everything ran smoothly and there were never any problems.

The key is that he is very good at controlling costs. After the filming is completed, there is only surplus funds, no excess.

Such talents need a bigger stage to perform.

Besides, what’s the point of a horror movie?
Either it's astringent or it's stimulating.

It’s so simple, Liu Kang can definitely do it.

Lin Yicheng did not lie to him. Xinghe Film and Television Company was indeed short of directors.

As long as Liu Kang gains some experience, he can transform himself into a real film director.

Lin Yicheng doesn't have the time and energy to shoot some movie scripts and projects, so of course they can't be wasted.

It’s just right to let Liu Kang take the photo.

Seeing that Liu Kang was already moved, Lin Yicheng continued his efforts.

"Old Liu, I know you're already a famous director. It's embarrassing for you to make a horror movie."

"If you feel embarrassed, it's okay. The director's name can be changed at any time. For example, a horror movie shot by Jiang Liu, what does it have to do with you, Liu Jiang?"

"Director Lin, I agree." Liu Kang nodded.

"Haha, I knew it. My invincible Zhao Zilong is still the most reliable."

Lin Yicheng smiled and continued, "Don't worry, Lao Liu, we are family, I won't treat you unfairly. I will give you this amount for each movie."

Lin Yicheng stretched out his hand and gestured.

Liu Kang's eyes suddenly lit up.

It doesn't lose face and there is still value in it.

Where can I find such a good thing?
……

In terms of cooperation with the coal bosses, Lin Yicheng has done everything he should do.

Can the coal circle successfully establish itself in the entertainment industry and become a force to help Lin Yicheng?

Next, it depends on the ability of the coal bosses.

In October, Galaxy Film and Television Company announced a piece of news.

In order to fight against the invasion of Korean Wave, to set an industry benchmark, and to enrich film and television themes...

In short, Lin Yicheng is going to film an idol drama!
Moreover, the leading actress is none other than one of the “Four Dan and Two Soldiers”, one of the top female stars in the country, Fan Xiaopang!

One stone can cause a thousand ripples, and there was an uproar in the circle.

The film industry in particular was deeply saddened by Lin Yicheng's decision and was angry at his lack of resistance.

How can you, a record-breaking director, make a TV series? And an idol drama at that!
Are you fighting against the Korean wave, setting a benchmark, and enriching the subject matter?

Bah, this is despicable, this is self-degradation!
At the same time, more film and television companies, especially those whose main business is making TV series, are keeping a close eye on Lin Yicheng.

I have said before that the current domestic idol dramas are really not very popular.

Apart from anything else, the audience doesn't approve of it.

Without an audience, who will watch the film?
Even though this is indeed a blue ocean, there are still only a few people who dare to try it.

As for those brave warriors who are willing to try, to put it bluntly, the grass on their graves has grown to several meters high.

If Lin Yicheng's attempt succeeds this time, it will really reverse the current situation.

Then, these people will naturally rush in to get a piece of the pie.

……

Let’s talk about the TV series “My Love from the Star”.

Actually, there is really nothing much to say.

Its essence is still a bloody love drama, you love me, I love you, we pull each other, fight, break up and get back together, the same old stuff.

The reason why it became popular is that it is covered with a layer of science fiction.

Aliens are in love with humans on Earth. They are different species and have different life genes, but they can still fall in love and do some naughty things.

How exciting and fresh!
It directly hits the audience's G-spot.

What’s more, this earthling is also a big star.

What is the daily life of big stars like? How do big stars fall in love?

This can also arouse the audience's curiosity.

Combined with dazzling editing, it makes it a bit mysterious.

Then add some cute and funny elements that make people feel relaxed.

Success and popularity are just a matter of course.

……

In fact, Lin Yicheng’s original idea was that since there were ready-made answers, he could just copy them directly. At most, don’t forget to write your name on the answer sheet.

Simple and crude, saving time and effort.

Unfortunately, it failed the review and was directly rejected!

The last time the movie script was stuck, Lin Yicheng directly found Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen and gave the green light.

The reviewers naturally knew who the big and small kings were and knew that Lin Yicheng was not someone to be trifled with.

Therefore, the review comments are very detailed, and the areas that need to be modified are clearly marked.

The most critical point is that the character setting needs to be changed.

The male protagonist must not be an alien.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, we had no control over it.

What happened after the founding of the People’s Republic of China?

An alien, hiding in the country.

What are his motives and goals?
What are the relevant departments doing?
What are the people doing?
How could such a big alien not be discovered even if he hid deeply?

What do you want to express and reflect when you shoot this way?
It’s absolutely not okay to shoot like this!

When seeing this review opinion, Lin Yicheng felt helpless.

He even had the urge to, fuck it, take a picture!

However, Lin Yicheng still restrained his impulse.

This drama must be filmed.

The so-called reasons of fighting against Korean Wave are just for the sake of showing off to others and even the higher-ups.

In essence, this drama is an advertisement for the HL brand, but the plot is longer and the cost is higher.

For the sake of long-term development in the future, Lin Yicheng endured it. He didn't want to trouble Tong Gang and Zhang Hongsen for such a small matter.

That's not how favors are used.

You’re not allowed to film aliens, right?

Then I can just change to a genuine Chinese.

It's just that he is from some ancient race.

The examples of "Pili Babe" and "Little Dragon Man" are already there, so we can just refer to them.

As for whether the male protagonist is a demon, a ghost, or something else, I don’t know.

Anyway, they are a special race with some unique abilities, such as immortality and teleportation.

Lin Yicheng secretly laid the groundwork, which could be linked to other film and television dramas in the future.

For example, the drama "Sito" which made Da Tiantian really famous in her previous life.

Then, the review was passed.

Reality is so fucked up and outrageous.

　I am so sorry.

That’s all for today.

the reason is simple.

I met with an author friend today.

Then I wanted to ask him for some writing advice (listen to him bragging)
As a result, I drank a little too much.

bad mood.

I will start to make up for it tomorrow and update more often.
