Chapter 230: With this physique, it is obvious that he is suitable to be a director
Lin Yicheng is going to film an idol drama, and there are two types of people who are most happy and looking forward to it.
One is the audience.
Lin Yicheng hasn't filmed a TV series for a long time since "Hello, Old Times" and "Naked Marriage".
The audience has missed Lin Yicheng for a long time!
Although Lin Yicheng is also making movies, the same old saying applies: watching movies costs money.
Some viewers who like Lin Yicheng either don't have the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies, or they are really reluctant to buy the movie ticket.
Now, Lin Yicheng is filming a TV series.
You can watch TV series as long as you have electricity, without going out and without spending any money.
To be honest, audiences still like to watch idol dramas, but they just don’t like the previous domestic idol dramas.
Is that also called an idol drama?
Stop embarrassing yourself!
Many viewers also want to see what is so different about Lin Yicheng's idol drama, which is said to "set a benchmark."
The audience still trusts and recognizes Lin Yicheng.
This is the trust and recognition accumulated through repeated success.
……
The other group of people are manufacturers and brands.
A modern idol drama, directed by Lin Yicheng and starring Fan Xiaopang.
Is that even a question?
This is the absolute formula for becoming a huge hit.
What are you waiting for? Contact Galaxy Film and Television Company immediately, otherwise it will be too late and you won’t be able to take part.
As a result, within just a few days, various cooperation intention forms floated into Xinghe Film and Television Company like snowflakes.
There are so many kinds and they are dazzling.
There are dozens of brands, big and small.
Even some international brands, such as LV, Dior, Gucci, Chanel, etc., have put aside their airs and actively sent invitations for cooperation.
These international brands have always wanted to expand into the Chinese market.
Fan Xiaopang is the best spokesperson they have chosen, and Lin Yicheng is a guarantee of ratings and influence.
Then why are you still putting on airs?
Making money is not shameful.
Lin Yicheng’s opinion on these international brands is that if they want to embed them, then they can.
But there is one issue that needs to be made clear: Galaxy Film and Television Company does not agree to sign an exclusive agreement.
For example, when the heroine is in public or attending some events, she can wear dresses or jewelry from these international brands.
But in daily life at home, you will wear HL brand products and the HL logo will be clearly visible.
This is the basic condition. If you don’t agree, then forget it.
Speaking of which, Lin Yicheng's requirements are a bit harsh.
Which of these brands is not world-famous?
On the other hand, HL is not only a domestically produced brand, but also a newly established brand.
Will appearing with such a brand have a negative impact on the brand value?
Dragons do not live with snakes, and Peng does not roost with birds.
Foreigners may not know this sentence, but they definitely know its meaning.
Therefore, faced with Lin Yicheng's conditions, brands such as LV and Dior backed off.
Only Gucci is still insisting, and it is estimated that there is a high possibility that it will agree to the request in the end.
When it comes to brand advertising and placement, Galaxy Film and Television Company is already familiar with it and has its own set of mature processes.
Naturally, Lin Yicheng doesn't need to worry about these things.
……
Lin Yicheng is busy recruiting assistant directors.
Now that we have decided to unite all those who can be united, we must put it into practice.
This time, Lin Yicheng was not limited to his alma mater, Beijing Film Academy.
The Central Academy of Drama, the Shanghai Theatre Academy, or even other schools are all fine.
There are quite a few students or graduates in the directing departments of the three major universities alone.
If you add other schools and pick and choose, there will definitely be a lot of talented people.
After hearing that Lin Yicheng's new drama was recruiting an assistant director, the Xinghe Film and Television Company was packed with people these days.
Every day, dozens of people come to Galaxy Film and Television Company for interviews with their resumes and related works.
After some selection, Lin Yicheng quickly decided on a candidate.
A candidate that many people did not expect.
Li Muge graduated from Peking University with a degree in computer science.
This person is none other than the director who later filmed "The East Palace", "A Love So Beautiful" and "Sito".
To be honest, Li Muge's directing ability is not that outstanding.
Maybe it’s because he didn’t graduate from a directing department, so he has a wild style.
Li Muge may not know much about TV dramas, but he definitely knows how to photograph beauties.
The sample of his work he brought was 5 minutes long. Wow, there was no plot at all, just a lot of beauties in it.
Whether still or moving, crying or laughing, sitting or lying down...
Each one is charming and eye-catching.
I really don’t know how much effort and energy Li Muge put in to shoot this demo.
But looking at how thin he is and how he seems a little malnourished, you can tell that his life must not be easy.
After deciding to appoint Li Muge as deputy director, Lin Yicheng did not waste the remaining talents.
They were all sent to Liu Kang to shoot horror films with him.
Liu Jiang is capable and these newcomers are innovative, so they are a perfect match.
Naturally, these people had no objection to Lin Yicheng's arrangement.
What happened to making a horror movie?
You know, before this, most of them couldn’t even make commercials, let alone horror movies.
Besides, Lin Yicheng has already promised them that as long as they follow Liu Kang to experience making a few horror films and their abilities meet the requirements, they can officially take over and become real directors.
They were so happy that they didn't even have time to refuse.
……
After arranging these people, Lin Yicheng originally planned to end the recruitment.
As a result, my tutor Wang Hongwei called and said he had something to ask me.
Wang Hongwei has a cousin who was also a student in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, but he did not graduate and only dropped out.
Because I was not in the country before, I missed Lin Yicheng's recruitment.
After hearing the news, this person is rushing to go through the formalities to return home, hoping that Lin Yicheng will give him a chance for an interview.
It was not a big deal. Lin Yicheng was willing to give face to his old mentor, so he agreed.
The next day, Lin Yicheng met Wang Hongwei's cousin.
"Hello, Director Lin. My name is Zhang Ye, Zhang as in Zhang Zuolin, and Ye as in Lu Ziye."
Wow, this self-introduction is really powerful.
Zhang Ye had a sturdy build, was at least 190cm tall, and weighed about the same.
He is a big and strong man with broad shoulders and a thick waist. Although his face is not full of fat, he has a beard and a loud voice.
Just put on ancient costume and pick up a Zhangba Snake Spear, and you will be the living Zhang Fei!
Such people, regardless of their abilities, are born to be directors.
With the director at the center, who in the crew would dare to make trouble if he just stands there?
Lin Yicheng became interested, so he asked the other party a few questions.
It wouldn’t matter if he didn’t ask, but when he asked this, Lin Yicheng suddenly felt a little annoyed.
As for Zhang Ye’s knowledge about directing, I can’t say he is a layman, but it’s hard to describe it in a few words.
Lin Yicheng was very suspicious about what he was doing at Beijing Film Academy and why he dropped out.
Lin Yicheng was ready to send him away.
This guy is a complete idiot. Even for Wang Hongwei's sake, it's not okay.
……
Seeing that Lin Yicheng was about to refuse, Zhang Ye suddenly became anxious.
Seeing that the other party was anxious, Lin Yicheng also became anxious, fearing that the other party would say, "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, take your life!"
Lin Yicheng was thinking about whether to call Zheng Jun over and ask him to deal with this tough guy.
Then Zhang Ye spoke.
"Director Lin, please give me a chance." "You don't know how much I yearn for the entertainment industry. Ever since I won a lottery worth 100 million..."
"Wait, how much did you win?" Lin Yicheng interrupted.
"One hundred million, what's wrong?"
Lin Yicheng was speechless.
It seems that this person is not only a swindler, but also a boaster.
"Director Lin, I really won 100 million yuan, and it was a check my father personally gave me."
"Who is your father?"
"The director of our sports lottery center."
"Oh, that's okay, just continue talking." Lin Yicheng suddenly realized.
It’s the same principle as the district’s top essay, “My Father, the District Head.”
"Since I won the lottery, I worked hard to get into Beijing Film Academy, all in order to be a good director and make good films."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth." Lin Yicheng grinned after hearing this. With your level, let alone making a serious movie, you can't even make a small, casual movie!
"Well, actually, I like Yang Mi, especially the role of Guo Xiang she played. It really touched my heart. Director Lin, if you can let me be an assistant director, I will invest 500 million in you. If you can let Yang Mi play a role, I will give you another 500 million."
“I have no shortage of investment.”
"I know, I only invest, not expect returns."
"You really spend a lot of money to pick up girls."
"Hey, this money comes easily, so I don't feel bad about spending it."
"Will the camera be useful?"
"Of course. After all, I have taken a few classes."
"Okay then, come over when the machine starts up."
With Zhang Ye's physique, it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't go to the crew to move things or something.
"Thank you, Director Lin, thank you so much." Zhang Ye thanked him repeatedly.
"Then Director Lin, look, Yang Mi..."
"Let's talk about it later."
"Okay Director Lin, I've been waiting for so many years, there's no rush."
……
Two assistant directors are in place, one who can take pictures of beauties and the other who can carry things.
Add in Lin Yicheng himself, it’s more than enough for him to make an idol drama.
Now, only the actors are left.
The heroine is Fan Xiaopang, and the hero is of course Lin Yicheng himself.
There are so many kissing and affectionate scenes in the play. If another man were to play them, it would be inappropriate, and Lin Yicheng is not that magnanimous.
Moreover, this male protagonist will definitely be very popular, which will be of great help to Lin Yicheng's popularity and influence, especially in Asia.
The second female lead and the second male lead, these two characters are the key to driving the development of the plot, and the actors of the original drama also left a deep impression on the audience.
For the second female role, Lin Yicheng originally wanted to find senior Yao Di.
He is famous enough, popular enough, and has a suitable image, which can add a certain amount of value to the work.
After thinking about it, I gave up.
Lin Yicheng hasn't contacted her for a long time.
Just Fan Xiaopang and Jing Tian are enough for him to deal with.
What's more, there are mermaids like Gulinaza who have not yet grown up in the fish pond.
Senior Yao Di, it’s better to let him go.
A lot of resources had been given to her before, and Lin Yicheng really didn't treat her unfairly.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yicheng suddenly thought of someone. If she played the second female lead, it would be perfect.
Jenny Guo.
This actress should be one of the most suitable actresses in China to play the role of "beauty who brings disaster".
In her previous life, she played Zhao Hede in the costume TV series "Mother of the World" in collaboration with Yuan Li, Yaya and Tong Liya. She was beautiful and charming, and her charm was accompanied by a hint of ruthlessness.
Add to that those enchanting eyes, wow, I wonder how many men have loved her.
It just so happens that this sister doesn’t have a proper agency now.
Whether it is Zong Shuai’s Star Culture or Wang Jinghua’s 18 Culture, they can sign her.
In the future, many works of Xinghe Film and Television Company will require actresses like this.
As for the second male lead, Lin Yicheng was a little conflicted.
Wang Kai, the abandoned general from Huayi who was just recruited by Zong Shuai, is very suitable.
Qiao Zhenyu, who works under Wang Jinghua, is also a good fit.
The palms and backs of our hands are all made of flesh, and we are all family.
It’s not a good choice.
……
Just as I was thinking about it, Liu Mingjun knocked on the door and walked in.
"Mr. Lin, SM has sent you an invitation letter."
"What is that?" Lin Yicheng asked.
I am a serious person, what indecent things are you saying to me?
Seeing Lin Yicheng's strange expression, Liu Mingjun also realized that his words were ambiguous, and hurriedly explained:
"It's SM Entertainment from South Korea that sent you an invitation. Their CEO Lee Soo Man is currently in Beijing and wants to meet you."
After hearing this, Lin Yicheng understood that this SM is not that SM.
They are one of the most famous brokerage and entertainment companies in South Korea.
The artists under the company are also very famous.
For example, TVXQ in the past, Super Junior and Big Thigh Era now, and EXO in the future.
"Did he say why?"
"No, but I guess he wants to cooperate with you." Liu Mingjun guessed.
This is very possible.
In the past, Lin Yicheng's works, especially TV dramas, have been introduced to South Korea.
Not to mention SM, their artists are an important part of the Korean wave invading the country.
The two sides are not parallel lines and there is a possibility that they may intersect.
"Does the invitation letter say what time it is?" Lin Yicheng asked.
"No, Li Xiuman means that it depends on when it is convenient for you."
"Okay, you reply to him and set a date for tomorrow."
……
The next day, Lin Yicheng brought Liu Mingjun to a five-star hotel in Beijing and met Lee Soo-man, the boss of SM company.
The meeting place was arranged in a small conference room, which was a very formal occasion.
There were only Lin Yicheng, Liu Mingjun, Li Xiuman and an interpreter.
Four grown men.
Lin Yicheng felt a little dissatisfied.
Isn't it said that South Korean chaebols live a life of debauchery and wine, and that they can always replace them if they're not satisfied?
That's it?
Forget about the era of thighs, there isn’t even a pair of thighs!
Too plain!
The gangs from other places have no rules!
You've come all the way here, don't you want to bring some local specialties or something?
Don’t worry about whether I accept it or not, but you can’t not give it to me!
Even if it's just to look at the stockings and feast your eyes, it's not bad.
Feeling dissatisfied, Lin Yicheng's attitude was naturally a bit perfunctory.
After saying polite words like "hello" and "I've heard a lot about you", he didn't say much and just listened to Lee Soo-man talking on and on.
After listening for a long while, Lin Yicheng finally realized that this guy really came to ask for cooperation.
