Chapter 231 Ten million, I’ll buy you a night!
Although Lee Soo Man did not bring the sincerity of the Big Leg Era.

But I brought something else.

He told Lin Yicheng that he could help get Lin Yicheng's idol drama broadcast simultaneously in South Korea.

The broadcasting TV station will be one of the three largest TV stations in South Korea: KBS, MBC and SBS.

Lin Yicheng listened but did not express his opinion.

Lin Yicheng had no doubt whether Lee Soo-man could do this.

After all, he is a chaebol.

In a country like South Korea, if the chaebols have their say, it will certainly work.

Lin Yicheng is waiting for Lee Soo-man's conditions.

Lee Soo Man’s conditions are quite simple.

Galaxy Film and Television Company and SM Company have cooperated to jointly invest in this idol drama. SM Company will also provide corresponding actors to participate and play some major roles.

SM only wants the Korean portion of the drama's revenue, and the rest belongs to Galaxy Film and Television Company.

……

It sounds like Lee Soo Man is being taken advantage of, but that's not the case.

SM is certainly one of the top entertainment management companies in South Korea, but it is not a film and television company.

SM company mainly focuses on training idols.

The idol profession has a short value retention period and is highly replaceable. If one is not careful, fans will be snatched away by the younger generation, and the glory will be gone forever.

It is not uncommon for someone to be very popular today and become an obscure figure tomorrow.

Then, transforming into an actor is a way out for them.

However, in Korea, the gap between idols and actors is huge.

Many popular idols with countless fans can only start as extras if they want to appear in movies or TV series.

Being able to get a supporting role with a few lines means that the agency behind you is already very powerful.

They need to work hard in the film and television circles for a long time before they can truly transform.

In the end, only a few can succeed.

Since SM cannot get involved in Korean movies and TV series, the only way to save the country is to use roundabout means.

Coincidentally, Lin Yicheng is going to film an idol drama.

It just so happens that Lin Yicheng's TV series still has a certain influence in South Korea.

Therefore, Lee Soo-man's proposal for cooperation this time was a natural thing to do.

After considering it, Lin Yicheng agreed.

He didn't expect to make much money from this idol drama itself.

Being able to be broadcast on TV stations such as KBS, MBC and SBS will be of great help in quickly raising the profile of the HL brand and increasing his personal influence and that of Xiaopang Fan.

Then there is cultural output.

Everything else is secondary.

Since SM only wants profits from Korea, then satisfy them.

As for them wanting to provide some actors, that's fine too.

There is nothing wrong with letting idols star in idol dramas.

Don't expect them to have any acting skills.

Just be handsome enough and pretty enough.

Just wear HL products and be attractive.

So, Lin Yicheng directly signed an agreement with Lee Soo-man.

Originally, Lin Yicheng was still struggling over who to choose as the second male lead, but now, he doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.

SM contributed 30% of the total investment and provided several actors including the second male lead.

……

"Mr. Li, other actors are easy to deal with. The key is the second male lead, who is the son of a large group. Your actor must meet the requirements in terms of temperament and appearance. In addition, he must have certain acting skills."

There are some things that Lin Yicheng needs to make clear.

After listening to the translation, Lee Soo-man smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. My actor is a rich young man. He will play this role in his true colors."

"Oh, I wonder which company this young man belongs to?"

Lin Yicheng was a little curious. He had never heard of any rumor about a Korean chaebol son debuting as an idol.

"He's not from Korea, he's from China. He was a trainee in our company for two and a half years."

"I originally planned to let him debut as a member of Super Junior-M, but when I heard that you were going to film an idol drama, I changed my mind. I thought about letting him debut directly as an actor, so that he can avoid many detours."

"This time, I brought him along as well. Mr. Lin, would you like to meet him and see if he's suitable for the role?"

"Okay, Mr. Li, please ask him to come over." Lin Yicheng nodded.

Lee Soo Man took out his cell phone and chatted a few words.

Not long after, there was a knock on the meeting door and a young man came in.

He is tall, has long legs, and is very handsome, sunny and handsome.

Not to mention, just looking at his appearance, if this young man were put in the future, he would definitely be a top star.

……

"Hello, Director Lin. My name is You Wenhua, my English name is Seal, and my nickname is Little Seal."

You Wenhua bowed 90 degrees to Lin Yicheng, and it was obvious that he had studied in Korea.

"Little seal?" Lin Yicheng looked a little strange. What kind of nickname is this?

But this You Wenhua is indeed "cultured", with both English and nicknames, and looks very presentable.

"Yes, you can call me Little Seal, it will sound more intimate."

"Well, seal, why don't you act out a scene of a rich second-generation man liking a woman but being unable to get her."

Lin Yicheng still couldn't call out the three words "little seal". It was too awkward.

After hearing what Lin Yicheng said, the little seal just stood there in a daze. Except for moving its lips twice, it didn't move at all, like a sculpture.

Lin Yicheng felt like there was something stuck in his throat, like a thorn in his back, and he was sitting on pins and needles.

Lin Yicheng looked at the little seal and then at Lee Soo Man.

Is this the level of the artists in your company?

How dare you play the second male lead?

What about the face?

Lin Yicheng thought he was shameless enough, but he didn't expect that this time he would be outdone.

After being looked at by Lin Yicheng like this, Lee Soo Man couldn't hold his face anymore.

He first said a few words to the little seal, and then said a few words to Lin Yicheng.

After hearing what the translator said, Lin Yicheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lee Soo Man said that Xiao Haibao was a rich young man and there was no woman he could not get if he set his eyes on her.

He really has no experience in playing the role of someone who cannot be loved.

Out of line.

Lin Yicheng held back the words "MMP" in his heart.

……

"Then put on a show of a domineering CEO."

For the sake of the three Korean TV stations, Lin Yicheng was willing to give this little seal a chance.

If you can't even act this well, then you'd better swim back to whichever sea you came from.

After hearing what Lin Yicheng said, the little seal, who was originally a little dazed, suddenly changed his temperament.

He put one hand in his pocket, walked slowly to the translator, and spoke.

"I've never experienced rejection before. Good, you've successfully caught my attention."

As he spoke, the little seal's mouth curled up into an uninhibited, yet evil and crazy smile.

"Ten million, I'll buy you a night."

As he spoke, the little seal stretched out his finger and lifted the translator's chin.

Lin Yicheng noticed that the translator's look had changed and was no longer one of fear.

Instead, it seems a little scattered and confused, and a little restless.

Shit! Lin Yicheng got goosebumps all over his body.

Lee Soo Man actually carried this kind of person with him as an interpreter.

You Koreans really know how to have fun.

"Stop, stop, that's enough." Lin Yicheng interrupted quickly.

He was afraid that if he didn't interrupt, the little seal might get too absorbed in the act and perform something that couldn't be broadcast on the spot.

"Director Lin, what do you think of my acting?" The little seal turned another 90 degrees and asked expectantly.

"Well, it's alright."

Lin Yicheng nodded.

It’s indeed okay, just like that paragraph just now, he is absolutely a domineering boss.

Not much worse than Brother Xiao Ming’s domineering boss.

What’s more commendable is that it doesn’t look greasy.

"Well, I'll send the script and role to you later. You should study it carefully. After you join the crew, I want to see your progress." Lin Yicheng reminded him again.

"Director Lin, don't worry. I will never let the opportunity you gave me down." The little seal turned 90 degrees again.

Lin Yicheng felt annoyed.

If I remember correctly, this guy has already bowed three times. What does that mean?
All right, once he joins the group, I will make sure to peel off a layer of seal skin from him.

……

October 10st, National Day.

The spy drama "The Hidden" produced by Galaxy Film and Television Company was broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV, Tomato Satellite TV and Blueberry Satellite TV.

Because of previous crew incidents, many viewers have been looking forward to this TV series for a long time.

On the day of the premiere, the combined ratings of the three broadcasters exceeded 9%.

"Lost" has a total of 30 episodes. On the 15th, the day of the finale, the total ratings broke through 11% in one fell swoop, reaching an astonishing 11.6%!

The data is real, not bought.

This drama is very popular, even more popular than its predecessor.

Both the protagonists Sun Honglei and Hai Qing, as well as the supporting characters Zu Feng, Cao Bingkun and others, are familiar to the audience.

The classic lines in the film quickly spread on the Internet.

If nothing unexpected happens, this drama is likely to become the best drama of the year.

In terms of ratings, it far surpassed "Golden Wedding" starring Uncle Guoli and Wenli Yatou.

In the past, "Golden Wedding" had such a high viewership rating, but there was still some water and tricks in it.

In fact, when "Undercover" was halfway through its broadcast, other TV stations had already become restless.

Liu Mingjun’s phone was almost blown up.

There are too many TV stations that want to participate but are in the second or third round.

Lin Yicheng no longer pays attention to these things.

……

His own idol drama is about to start filming.

Let’s talk about product placement and advertising first.

After some haggling, Galaxy Film and Television Company and Gucci reached a cooperation.

The other party offered 100 million US dollars and became the only sponsor of the high-end luxury brand in the play.

Plus our new friend Wanda, old friends Nokia and Wahaha, and other brands.

In the end, Xinghe Film and Television Company earned a total of more than 6000 million, once again breaking the record for film and television sponsorship fees set by Lin Yicheng.

The actors are all present, except for Lin Yicheng and Fan Xiaopang.

The domestic cast all comes from Star Culture and 18 Agency.

Lin Yicheng has said that as long as the image is suitable, anyone can voluntarily sign up to participate, and there will be no force.

That's what they said, but no one dared to listen to it.

Not to mention that Lin Yicheng is the major shareholder of the two companies and the boss of these actors.

With Lin Yicheng's great reputation, who would dare not be proactive?

It doesn’t matter whether you get the opportunity to perform or not. What matters is to show your attitude.

Otherwise, if Director Lin remembers me, will I still be able to stay in the circle?

But they had heard that Director Lin was not a very broad-minded person.

According to rumors, Director Lin has a little notebook, and anyone who is included in that notebook will be put on the death blacklist.

People in the circle almost believe it.

Who made Director Lin’s record so brilliant?

The Korean actors were in place, but Lin Yicheng didn't recognize any of the other actors except the little seal.

Male, there is no need to know him.

There are no actresses like Taeyeon, Sooyoung, Yoona, etc.

These people who came here seemed to be carved from the same mold, with little difference between them. Lin Yicheng couldn't tell who was who.

Lee Soo Man is too stingy and too unkind.

The good ones are hidden away, and only the shabby ones are used to fool people.

Lin Yicheng directly handed the roles of these Korean women to Li Muge.

This is called professional matching.

……

On October 10, the idol drama, formerly known as "My Love from the Star" and now named "Heart Love", officially started filming in Beijing.

Since the male protagonist is not an alien, the title of the drama certainly cannot be "My Love from the Star".

So Lin Yicheng chose the name "Xinlian".

Not to mention, this name that was originally used to fool Jing Tian is surprisingly suitable here.

The male protagonist's race is unknown, and the female protagonist is from Earth.

Due to differences in species and genes, the male protagonist cannot do anything shameful in the early stages.

Isn’t this Plato’s idealistic spiritual love?

There is nothing wrong with using the name "Xinlian".

This time, Lin Yicheng did not hold a ceremony to worship the gods before the filming started.

He finally understood that whether the production was going well or not and how the show was doing had nothing to do with the worship ceremony.

The flop dramas in Hong Kong and Taiwan will flop no matter how much you pray to all the gods and Buddhas.

Besides, Lin Yicheng has already broken off relations with the Hong Kong circle, and the only thing left is an open war.

It is inappropriate and unacceptable to continue using their dross.

……

The plot of the TV series "Xinlian" is really simple.

Yang Qianqian, played by Fan Xiaopang, is a top domestic star.

He has a straightforward and overbearing personality. Since he was a child star and did not receive a complete school education, he lacks common sense.

After starring in an advertisement in middle school, he quickly became famous and became active in the entertainment industry as a child star.

After she became an adult, she successfully became a famous actress with her outstanding appearance.

Because of an accident, her career hit rock bottom, and then she fell hopelessly in love with her neighbor Simong, played by Lin Yicheng, who often appeared by her side and protected her.

Fan Xiaopang plays this kind of role effortlessly.

All she had to do was act as her real self, because she had experienced many of the things that Yang Qianqian had experienced.

Simeng, played by Lin Yicheng, has an unknown race, identity, age, and abilities.

For hundreds of years, his appearance has never changed, he is still young and handsome.

Although he has superpowers that ordinary people don't have, he just wants to live a quiet and dignified life without causing any trouble to anyone.

He has no feelings about the love between men and women, and regards it all as human curiosity, jealousy, lust, possessiveness and pity.

Everything changed when he met Yang Qianqian. He understood what love is and learned how to love.

This role is too easy for Lin Yicheng, he just needs to keep a blank face throughout the whole process.

That's it. As long as you are thick-skinned enough, you can still market it as "explosive acting" or "immersive acting" or something like that.
