Chapter 239: Stand up straight, I’m targeting you Hong Kong people! (1.2, please vote)
The filming of "Heart Love" was completed.

Lin Yicheng posted a blog the next day.

Apart from a few poster concept drawings, there is just a paragraph.

The main point is that "Heart Love" is the last TV series he starred in personally.

Lin Yicheng believed that for this reason alone, the ratings of "Heart Love" would be even more popular than in the previous life.

This is also Lin Yicheng's true words, not the "Kung Fu Emperor" who deceives the audience with "This is my last martial arts film."

The purpose of filming this idol drama is to promote the fashion brand and further expand his popularity and influence.

When all these goals have been achieved, it would be too cheap for him to continue filming TV series given his status and position.

What's more, as the company grows, my identity changes, there are more things to deal with and my attention is dispersed more.

It's really not cost-effective to take time to act in TV series.

The Lunar New Year holiday is approaching, and the promotion and publicity work for "How Bad Movies Are Made" is also about to begin.

The release date has also been chosen, decided by Lin Yicheng.

12 month 12 day.

Although there is no concept of "Double 12, Shopping Festival" in China, shouldn't the audience open their wallets on such days?

In terms of distribution, China Film Group and Bona Film Group, the two largest distributors in China, worked together to achieve the best results. Especially after the movie was released, whether it was monitoring the scheduling, checking tickets or preventing piracy, they were able to do their best.

Not to mention the cinema chains, Galaxy Cinemas is our own, Wanda Cinemas belongs to "Uncle Wang", and China Film Southern Cinemas is managed by "Uncle Han", and there are also the conditions that Tan Hong had agreed to before.

As for other theaters, the three words "Lin Yicheng" and the title of "record-breaking director" are the biggest reasons.

According to preliminary statistics, when "How a Bad Movie Was Made" is released, the screening volume will not be less than 40%.

The reason why it is only 40% is because Feng Kuzi's "Assembly" has not yet been scheduled for a release date, and Feng Kuzi's reputation is also there, so the theaters cannot underestimate it.

Feng Kuzi was the first director to start making commercial films, and his achievements are unquestionable.

In addition, there is "The Warlords", directed by Chen Kexin, which brings together three giants including Jet Li, King Liu and Jin Juxing, and stars Xu Cairen, one of the "Four Dan Double Soldiers", and is also targeting the Lunar New Year holiday.

In the original time and space, "The Warlords" was invested in by China Film Group Corporation and was released on the Double 12 day.

Now that Lin Yicheng has announced the release date first and without the support of China Film Group, "The Warlords" is still hesitating.

The fact that "How Bad Movies Are Made" was able to get 40% of the screening time is already high enough.

In terms of publicity, Galaxy, China Film and Bona also work together.

TV ads, online news, LED screens, print posters...

Wanda shopping mall, bus stop signs, airport waiting halls, taxi and bus bodies...

Unless you don't go out, don't watch the news, and are completely isolated from the world, you will definitely see the advertisement of "How Bad Movies Are Made".

With the release date of "How a Bad Movie Was Made" announced.

Reactions within the circle were mixed.

Let’s first talk about the Hong Kong circle that has the “closest” relationship with Lin Yicheng.

As I said, the entertainment industry is a broken sieve and no news can be concealed.

Everyone who should know the general content of "How Bad Movies Are Made" knows.

Of course, the Hong Kong circle also knew about it.

They also know who this movie is aimed at.

Lin Yicheng is just smashing their pot and overturning the table on which they eat.

The Hong Kong community is unwilling to accept this; they want to resist and boycott.

But there is nothing I can do!

Does the Hong Kong circle have cinema chains in mainland China?
Can it still be released?
Nothing?

What are you calling for? Who listens to you?

Coming up with some shady ideas to smear the media?
What? Didn’t you see what happened to Apple Daily and Oriental Daily?

Those two media outlets have been under rectification for more than three months and are still continuing the rectification.

In this situation, which famous and large media outlet would dare to commit suicide?

Gossip tabloids are indeed bold and there is nothing they dare not say, but are such tabloids useful?
Their words cannot be heard outside Hong Kong Island.

Call the leader and have some cry and make some noise?
Ask the leader if he dares to move?
He dared not!

"How a Bad Movie Was Made" successfully passed the review, obtained the Dragon Mark, and entered the theaters without any comments from the higher-ups.

The Hong Kong circle has seen clearly what the attitude of the higher-ups is regarding the "Lust, Caution" incident.

There is also Lin Yicheng's "Initiative", which has already been signed by Galaxy Film and Television, Bona Film and Television, Enlight Film and Television, Orange Sky Entertainment, and Stellar Entertainment.

Currently, the only companies that are qualified to sign are Huayi, Xiaoma Pentium and a few companies in the Hong Kong circle.

Not to mention Xiaoma Pentium, Li Dagou Run has gone bankrupt, and the company is leaderless and in chaos.

Huayi, as the eldest son, may have the confidence to be reserved.

There was neither support nor opposition to this "Initiative".

What does it mean?
Whose signature is this waiting for?
Is it necessary to savor and ponder this?
You should understand it if you think about it with your butt.

Didn’t you see that Boss Yang, especially Boss Jiang who invested in “Lust, Caution”, were so scared that they were afraid of making any noise and attracting the attention of their superiors?

Without a leader, what can the mob in the Hong Kong circle achieve?
In that case, then shut up, stand still, stand straight, and wait obediently for your beating!

Lin Yicheng has been planning for the Hong Kong circle for a long time.

The Thirty-Six Strategies is not read in vain, it is just a simple chain of strategies.

The Hong Kong circle is advancing cautiously and pressing forward step by step, as if a rope was put around their necks and was being tightened continuously, making it difficult for them to breathe.

Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhongjun’s office.

It's a rare occasion today that Wang Zhongjun came to the company.

In the office, there were the two Wang brothers and Feng Pants.

"Zhongjun, Zhonglei, tell me the truth, when do you plan to launch my "Assembly"? "

Feng Kuazi bared his buck teeth and yelled in dissatisfaction.

As Huayi's only director and the face of the company, Feng Kuazi certainly has the confidence.

"Xiaogang, don't be anxious. My brother and I are already researching it," Wang Zhonglei said.

"Research? Bullshit research! If we keep researching, the Lunar New Year holiday season will be over and it will be 2008 already!"

Feng Kuazi slapped the table with his hand and spit came out.

Wang Zhonglei moved aside calmly, a little further away from Feng Pants.
-

"Zhongjun, what do you say?" Feng Kuazi no longer paid attention to Wang Zhonglei and asked directly Wang Zhongjun, who had the final say.

"Lin Yicheng's film is scheduled to be released on December 12, right?" Wang Zhongjun paused, then continued, "The 12th is Christmas Eve, and the 24th is Christmas. It's fashionable to celebrate foreign holidays now, so how about we schedule it for these two days?"

Wang Zhongjun’s opinion cannot be said to be wrong.

When two tigers fight, there must be one injury.

No matter how confident he was in Feng Kuzi, he couldn't be sure that the one who was injured was not Feng Kuzi.

Under normal circumstances, Feng Kuzi's injury would be fine, as it would be a good opportunity to curb his temper and make him more obedient.

But not this time.

It's the same old question: Huayi is about to go public. Whether it goes public depends on the company's performance.

The box office performance of Feng Kuzi’s movies is the performance of Huayi Company.

The box office is not good, the performance is not good, institutions and shareholders have lost confidence, what will happen to the stock price after listing?
"24 and 25?"

Feng Kuazi raised his voice.

"You mean, I should give Lin Yicheng two weeks to wait?"

"It's not about giving in, it's about avoiding unnecessary competition," Wang Zhongjun explained.

"Stop talking nonsense. If this gets out, how will the audience and the people view me? Hey, look, isn't this Feng Xiaogang? What happened today? Why was he scared to the point of peeing his pants by a young man and gave up his schedule in a hurry?"

"Isn't this just a slap on my face?" As he said this, Feng Kuazi slapped himself hard on the face twice, making a loud slapping sound.

"Xiaogang, don't be anxious..." Wang Zhonglei just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Feng Kuazi.

"Shut up! I haven't gotten over what you did to my actress last time."

"You!" Wang Zhonglei was furious and stood up immediately.

"Shut up, everyone!" Wang Zhongjun slammed the table.

"It's settled, December 12th, no changes."
-

"Brother, you saw how this guy treated me just now. Damn, he was too arrogant. Does he even have me in his eyes?" Wang Zhonglei said angrily when Feng Kuazi left the office and only the two brothers were left.

"What did I tell you before? Have you forgotten?" Wang Zhongjun said slowly.

"I haven't forgotten, but I just can't bear it. How dare a dog bare its teeth at its master?"

"Haven't you forgotten? If you hadn't forgotten, I just told you and you went to fuck that actress right after. Have you not forgotten? Do you still have me in your eyes?" Wang Zhongjun glared at Wang Zhonglei.

"You know Xiaogang's bad temper. You made him angry, and you went to shoot a movie? I asked you to beat him up, but you beat up the actresses?"

"I just couldn't help it. That actress..." Wang Zhonglei muttered.

"Don't tell me this kind of shit. Let me ask you, have you done everything I told you to do?"

"I did it. It's all right."

"Then why are you so bothered? Let him hop around for a few days, and then I'll deal with him later."

"Okay, I won't bother with him for now." Wang Zhonglei nodded and changed the subject.

"Brother, what do you think of Lin Yicheng's "Proposal"? Should we follow it or not?"

"I told you to watch more of the play, but you didn't. Let me ask you, who was the first person to appear in the play?"

"How would I know that?" Wang Zhonglei shook his head.

"Remember, the first ones to appear are all small fry, and the real stars are the last ones to appear. His "Proposal" is just a piece of waste paper without Hua Yi's signature!"

Feng Kuazi’s home.

"I heard that you had a quarrel with those two brothers today?" Xu Fan handed Feng Kuazi a glass of water and asked while sitting next to him.

"Yeah, there was a quarrel." Feng Kuazi nodded.

"You have such a bad temper. You have suffered so much over the years, but you still won't change. What good will it do for you to offend those two brothers?"

"Benefits, huh, you don't understand."

"Okay, you think I'm short-sighted, right? If you have the guts, don't get on my bed tonight."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. I'm afraid of you."

"Feng Xiaogang, you're a bastard!" Xu Fan stood up and went back to the bedroom angrily.

Feng Kuazi grinned. Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger. Xu Fan is exactly at the age of a tiger. How could he bear it?
What's more, his waist was not idle yesterday. He directed the actress's acting skills for most of the night, so he was indeed a little tired today.

As for the quarrel with those two brothers, well, it was just an act.

Feng Kuazi is indeed confident in himself, but it also depends on who his opponent is.

Is Lin Yicheng an ordinary person?
In the past, he could look down on others or shamelessly say, "I came from there too."

Now? He has to look up to others, because they have walked further than him!
What's more, no one knows better than him what kind of movie "Assembly" is.

Using such a heavy-themed movie to fight a light comedy? It's not like he was kicked in the head by a donkey.

When you know you are going to lose, of course you have to shirk responsibility.

Now, Boss Wang has set the release date and forced him to postpone it. If "Assembly" does not perform well at the box office, Boss Wang will be partly responsible.
-

As for Wang Laoer?

Feng Pants sneered.

This kind of people are like mud that cannot be propped up against a wall.

Feng Kuzi knew very well why Wang Laoer came to the crew that day.

Otherwise, how did that actress just happen to be next to Wang Laoer?
A man like Wang Laoer, can he control himself when he sees this kind of stuff coming to his door?

Feng Kuazi came to the study and took out a file bag from a drawer.

Looking at the photos inside, Feng Kuazi's mouth widened into a grin.

Do you really think I'm the dog you two brothers raised?
I am a wolf and have been on guard against you!
If you make me angry, I will bite you to death!

A villa in Beijing.

"Lao Chen, what do you think of the movie that Lao Han mentioned?"

Chen Hong sat next to Director Kaige and asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"What is there to consider? Lao Mouzi is preparing the opening ceremony, and you are just preparing a tribute. Can we be worse than him?"

Director Kaige was silent for a while.

Lao Mouzi will always be a hurdle in his heart.

The guy who used to follow him around and carry the camera for him is now shaking.

He has won more awards than him, has higher box office than him, and now he has become the "national master". When director Kaige thinks of this, he feels unhappy.

"The key is, this film is not easy to make, and I can't please anyone no matter how I try." Director Kaige did not hide the fact that Chen Hong was his good wife.

"Old Chen, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but sometimes you really should step out of your ivory tower and see what's happening outside."

"What happened outside? Is it related to me? Someone is making fun of me again?" Director Kaige widened his eyes.

He learned the word "parody" during that incident.

"It's not about you, it's about the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles. Tell me, which side should you lean towards?"

"Who is so bold?"

"Who else could it be? Lin Yicheng."

"This kid." Director Kaige suddenly realized.

"Old Han also said that it was Lin Yicheng who recommended you to direct this film."

"Is he that kind?" Director Kai Ge said in surprise, "He and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Maybe he has something to ask of you? He wants to ask you for help?" Chen Hong gave his own guess.

"It's hard to say. How about this, you take some time out in the next two days to go find him and ask him clearly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
