Chapter 237: This kind of person, just use it once is enough
"By the way, when you get to the crew, don't call me brother-in-law, call me director." Lin Yicheng specifically reminded him.

"Ah? Why? Brother-in-law." Gulinaza was puzzled.

"When working, you have to address them by their titles. This is the crew's rule."

"Oh, okay, brother-in-law." Guli Nazha on the other side nodded repeatedly.

"Change it now and get used to it in advance."

"Director Lin?"

"Hey, that's right."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yicheng felt a little relieved. Gulinaza was good in every way except that he was stupid.

Lin Yicheng was really afraid that after she came to the crew, she would call him brother-in-law left and right.

By then, will Fat Fan be able to like her?

For someone like Gulinaza, even if ten of them were tied together, they would still not be enough for Fatty Fan to beat.
-

The lines are childish, the acting is expressionless, and the filming is simple.

Director, actor, screenwriter, no matter which identity he is in, Lin Yicheng's task is not heavy.

The play "Heart Love" can be said to be the play he least cared about.

He put most of his energy elsewhere.

As for TV dramas produced by Galaxy Film and Television Company, there are no dramas to be broadcast this year.

"The Unforgettable Number" is still under negotiation. Because Lin Yicheng asked for a share of the advertising revenue, the negotiation process was particularly difficult. There has been no progress on Liu Mingjun's side.

Even though Beijing TV, Tomato TV and Blueberry TV have always had pleasant cooperation with Galaxy Film and Television Company, when it comes to issues of vital interests, there is basically no such thing as "friendship" between the two parties.

Lin Yicheng was not in a hurry either.

This is a test for these three TV stations.

If they can successfully open a gap, the gap will become bigger and bigger, and Xinghe Film and Television Company will be able to make more profits.

What if it can't be opened.

It doesn’t matter. It’s hard to say whether we will still be close partners in the future.

There are so many TV stations in China, and it's not uncommon that some are of similar or slightly lower quality than these three.

The output of Galaxy Film and Television Company is still too small, with only two or three TV series a year, which cannot form a big trend.

Once we recruit enough directors, the situation will change a lot.
-

Lin Yicheng plans to produce at least 5-8 TV series next year. Those with good quality will be broadcast on first-tier TV stations, and those with average quality will be broadcast on second-tier TV stations.

First occupy the market and then further expand the influence.

After so many years of rebirth, Lin Yicheng has been more than just a plagiarist.

If you want to make a living in the entertainment industry, you have to work hard and study hard.

In Lin Yicheng's opinion, as the Party B, if the output cannot keep up, no matter how good the quality is, it will not be of much weight in the eyes of Party A.

Party A has a calculation in mind: for the same price, if you buy your version, you can only buy 30 episodes, but if you buy someone else's version, you can buy 40, 50 or even more episodes.

People can simply choose not to buy your high-priced products and replace them with products of slightly lower quality to reduce costs.

If you have many good products, Party A will have to think about it, fearing that you will continue to sell products to his competitors and followers, causing his competitors and followers to continue to erode his market share.

In other industries, competitors and followers can use the tactic of bad money driving out good money.

But in the film and television industry, especially in the field of television, this method does not work.

If the dramas on a TV station are not good, the audience will simply change the channel. Apart from wasting some time and electricity, the audience will not suffer any loss.

In order to attract audiences, those ambitious TV stations are really willing to pay high prices to buy one or two dramas to create a long-tail effect.

Wait until the long tail effect is over, then buy a few good dramas and have another wave.

In this way, you can slowly accumulate a large audience base.
-

As for movies, "Crazy Nightclub" has already been taken off the screen.

The total box office is just over 8200 million.

Because of the pirated version leak, the copyright could not be sold at any price. Lin Yicheng simply kept the online copyright and did not sell it, preparing to leave it to future video websites.

Only the television copyright and audio-visual product copyright were sold, and the total amount was just over 1000 million.

Looking at this movie alone, Galaxy Pictures' gross profit was 2700 million.

After deducting the cost of filming, publicity and promotion expenses and the like, the final amount received was less than 2000 million.

Lin Yicheng gave Yang Qing a bonus of 100 million.

Previously, Yang Qing’s director fee was pitifully low, only 10.

Yang Qing is a capable man with little ambition. Lin Yicheng plans to recruit him for his own purposes, so of course he has to show some sincerity.

Otherwise, who would risk their life for you if you only make tens of thousands of dollars for a movie?
Yang Qing is currently helping Ning Hao with the early preparations for Lost on Journey. As a way of repaying a favor, he will also be Ning Hao's assistant director in the future.

Thinking of Ning Hao, Lin Yicheng sneered.

If Lost on Journey had not been in preparation for so long and the immersion costs had not been invested, he would have wanted to replace Ning Hao!

The last time Zhong Lifang went to Ning Hao's house to dig him out, Ning Hao didn't mention a word about Lin Yicheng, as if nothing had happened.

Even though Big Dog was still abroad and had not returned, Ning Hao still chose to keep it secret.

The problem inside is obvious.

This person, once is enough.
-

Therefore, when Ning Hao proposed to find Xu Guangtou as the male lead in "Lost on Journey", Lin Yicheng directly rejected it without any room for negotiation.

Lin Yicheng assigned him a person, Lei Datou, who was not unknown in the circle but also had no reputation.

Today's actors, especially those from mainland China, have basically no box office appeal, so replacing Xu Guangtou is no big deal at all.

Lei Datou can be good or evil, smart or silly, and can act in comedies or dramas.

Although he was born in 83 and is only 24 years old this year, his face is full of wrinkles, especially when he smiles.

People would believe him if he said he was 42 years old, so it was no problem for him to play the middle-aged man Li Chenggong in "Lost on Journey".

After all, he can even play the role of "ex-husband" well.

Of course, Lei Datou also signed a contract with Star Culture Company, which is also a key reason.

Before, Lin Yicheng had planned to let Ning Hao shoot "Crazy Racing".

In this situation now, let’s just forget it.

Yang Qing is also suitable. He has just gone through the experience of "Crazy Nightclub" and has both the ability and experience, and the audience also has a certain degree of trust in him.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in handing over the "Crazy Series" to Yang Qing and letting this alternative director continue to be "crazy".

Saturday, April 11.

Fan Xiaopang is going to attend an event today and is not with the crew.

Well, not a coincidence.

Yang Tianzhen has already surrendered to Lin Yicheng. Following Lin Yicheng's instructions, he temporarily changed Fan Xiaopang's announcement time.

Gulinaza is coming today.

Lin Yicheng takes precautions before they occur and eliminates all possible hidden dangers.

Then, Guli Nazha was taken to the crew by Lao Gu. Because the work had not started yet, Lin Yicheng wanted to talk to her first.

Nazha has to go to school and only has two days off on the weekend, so Lin Yicheng arranged all the scenes for her today.

"Brother-in-law, I..."

"What did you call me?"

"Oh, it's not my brother-in-law, it's Director Lin." Gulinaza stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, which was rosy and small.

"Well, what do you want to say?"

"I wanted to say," Gulinaza thought for a moment after being interrupted, "Uh, what was I going to say just now? I forgot."

Lin Yicheng was speechless. Nazha, please be more careful. No, please be more smart.

"Have you memorized the lines?" Lin Yicheng changed the subject.

"Yeah, I've remembered it. I've been reciting it for a long time. How about I recite it to you now?"

"No, don't be nervous when you're in front of the camera." "Don't worry, when I participated in the 'Flower of the Nation' selection, there were so many cameras facing me, but I wasn't nervous at all."

"That's good. Then you can do your best later."

"Yeah, sister...Oh, no, Director Lin, I will never let you down!" Gulinaza patted her chest, which was just beginning to show its pointed corners, and promised.
-

"Attention all departments, 18th scene, 1st take, Acthion!"

In the studio, in a sedan chair, Guli Nazha was dressed in plain white.

This scene is about Yang Qianqian's previous life. She was going to get married at a very young age, but before she even got married, she became a widow and had to wear mourning clothes for her husband.

The camera was focused on her flawless, delicate and beautiful face.

Gulinaza raised her head and looked at the camera, her eyes were dull and her face was expressionless.

"Crack!"

Lin Yicheng immediately called a halt.

"Naza, come here."

"Oh."

"Let me ask you, what is written in the script? Didn't you memorize it?"

"The script says that I should close my eyes tightly, cry uncontrollably, and scream loudly at the same time..." As Gulinaza spoke, he lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Then where are your tears? Where is your expression? Where is your scream? You didn't act out anything that was in the script at all." Lin Yicheng asked back.

Gulinaza lowered his head, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and dared not say a word.

She also knew that her performance just now was a mess.

As the saying goes, if a woman wants to be pretty, she must be filial.

Guli Nazha, who was wearing a white dress at that time, was so pretty and lovely that I felt pity for her.

The slight dissatisfaction in Lin Yicheng's heart suddenly disappeared.

"So what's your problem? Just tell me, find out the problem and we'll solve it." Lin Yicheng said in a gentle tone.

"I am, I am..." Gulinaza's face turned red and she stammered.

"Just what?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Gulinaza stamped his feet anxiously, "I will definitely perform well this time."
-

Gulinaza really knew the script by heart.

She remembered the contents of the script clearly. After she cried and screamed, the next moment was the scene where her brother-in-law opened the door of the sedan chair and looked into her eyes.

On her wedding day, she was riding in a sedan chair and nearly fell off a cliff. Then her brother-in-law came down from the sky like a hero and saved her...

Although my brother-in-law is not standing on colorful clouds nor wearing golden armor, isn’t this scene romantic and beautiful enough?

And her brother-in-law is not only her brother-in-law, but also her favorite and most admired idol.

If one day, my brother-in-law really behaves like in the script...

No, Nazha, what are you thinking about?

She is my brother-in-law!
My brother-in-law likes Sister Tiantian!
Sister Tiantian has been kind to you and treated you so well, how could you have such thoughts? Are you worthy of Sister Tiantian?
Gulinaza quickly suppressed all the thoughts that had just occurred to him.

How could Guli Nazha dare to tell Lin Yicheng what these little girls were thinking?
-

"Attention all departments, 18th scene, 1st take, Acthion!"

In the lens.

"Ah~~"

Gulinaza lowered her head, opened her little mouth and screamed loudly.

That expression is as exaggerated as it can be.

"Crack!"

Lin Yicheng took a deep breath and said, "Tears, don't forget to cry. Pause for 5 minutes to reapply makeup to the actors. Other units are ready to reset."
-

"18th scene, 1st shot, 3rd time, Acthion!"

"Ah~~"

Gulinaza lowered her head, opened her little mouth and screamed loudly. Her eyes were a little red, but it was just thunder without rain.

"Crack!"

Lin Yicheng took a deep breath again, "You have to cry, think about sad things, and let the tears flow. Pause for another 5 minutes and put on makeup again."
-

"18th scene, 1st shot, 4rd time, Acthion!"

"Ah~~"

Gulinaza lowered her head, opened her little mouth and screamed loudly. She screamed several times and her voice became a little hoarse.

This time, tears finally came out, but they were just a drizzle.

Lin Yicheng let out a breath of foul air.

You can’t be angry. You must not be angry.

This is Guli Nazha, who is known as “the most beautiful Nazha north of the Yangtze River”.

Good looks are enough, who cares about acting skills?

When the show is broadcast on TV, which audience will pay attention to her acting skills?

I had been thinking of training her a little, but now it seems that I was overthinking and making a wrong decision.

Lin Yicheng kept convincing himself.
-

"Crack!"

As soon as Lin Yicheng finished speaking, everyone in the crew looked over here.

The makeup artist also consciously carried her makeup box and walked towards Gulinaza.

Guli Nazha lowered her head even more, secretly blaming herself for not living up to her expectations and not performing well.

"Okay, let's get ready for the next one."

The makeup artist paused and Gulinaza looked up in surprise.

"What? Didn't you hear it clearly? Get ready for the next one."

"Yeah!" Gulinaza burst into laughter and made a V sign with her fingers.

"How was my acting? Have I improved?" Guli Nazha became that heartless person again.

"Well, there has been progress, but there is still a lot of room for improvement." Lin Yicheng nodded.

"Haha, it turns out that acting is so simple. I found the trick. When I want to cry, I think about sad things. When I want to laugh, I think about happy things. When I want to be shy, I think about..."

At this point, Gulinaza realized something was wrong and stopped talking immediately, her face turning red like an apple due to embarrassment.

However, Lin Yicheng could easily guess her ability.

Just don't point it out to her.
-

"18th scene, 2st shot, 1rd time, Acthion!"

Simeng, played by Lin Yicheng, used his superpowers to control the sedan that was about to fall off the cliff, and then he lifted the door curtain.

What came into view was a face that could be described as stunningly beautiful.

Lin Yicheng's gaze paused.

Gulinaza also raised her head, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, like dewdrops on rose petals, making the petals look more delicate and gorgeous.

Originally, the script required the actress to just stand there and look into the actors' eyes, without any additional expressions or movements.

However, Gulinaza's face is as bright as the maple leaves in early autumn and as beautiful as the sunset reflected on the horizon.

Charming and gentle, she looked at Lin Yicheng lovingly.

Lin Yicheng frowned slightly. He hated it most when others tampered with his script.

However, looking at Guli Nazha who was charming, gentle, and affectionate looking at him.

Lin Yicheng felt that there must be something wrong with his script and that this was the correct way to act.

　There is another chapter in the evening, 8000+ today.
