Chapter 240 What’s wrong with using the surname Cao occasionally?
The reception room of Galaxy Film and Television Company.

Lin Yicheng is meeting guests.

Lin Yufen is a Hong Kong director who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama.

He is good at suspense dramas and idol dramas, especially ancient costume dramas, and he is quite good at it.

In her previous life, she filmed "Love O2O", "Eternal Love", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", "Startling by Each Step", etc.
-

After exchanging a few pleasantries and chatting for a while, Lin Yicheng got down to business.

"Director Lin, I have a general understanding of your situation. How about you listen to my conditions first?" In the past, others always called him "Director Lin", but now Lin Yicheng felt it was a bit strange to call others like this.

"Director Lin, please go ahead." Lin Yufen, who was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and had fashionable light yellow short hair, straightened her body.

Whether she can join Galaxy Film and Television Company depends on what Lin Yicheng says next.

Previously, she has collaborated with several film and television companies in the mainland, and her most recent collaborator is Tangren.

She knew that Cai Yinong wanted to win her over to join the Tang people.

If there was no better option, she might agree.

But now with the Galaxy Film and Television Company, Tangren is no longer enough.

Whether it is Cai Yinong’s own ability and courage, Tangren’s financial strength, or Tangren’s relationship with the TV station, they are far inferior to Lin Yicheng and Xinghe Film and Television.

Good birds choose trees to roost in.

People go to higher places.

"The condition is very simple. I don't want to see my company's crew recruit a director from Hong Kong or Taiwan, and within a few days, the crew is full of Hong Kong and Taiwan people on stage and behind the scenes. Director Lin, do you understand what I mean?"

"I want to ask, are you sure about us..." Lin Yufen didn't finish her next sentence.

"First of all, I have to make it clear that I have no problem with you guys. I just don't like the stance and behavior of some of your people." Lin Yicheng looked serious and continued, "Also, the cost-effectiveness of your people is really not high."

Lin Yufen was silent for a while. She was from Hong Kong Island, so she naturally felt uncomfortable when she heard Lin Yicheng's views and opinions.

But she couldn't argue with it because it was the truth.

Why did she come to the mainland to develop her career?
Because she is one of them, she will be ostracized and suppressed in Hong Kong Island.

If a person does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.

Those people don't treat her as one of their own, so why should she consider their interests?

"No problem on my side." Lin Yufen made a decision quickly.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Lin Yicheng stretched out his hand.
-

After sending Lin Yufen away, Lin Yicheng smiled.

First of all, there is no problem with Lin Yufen's stance.

Needless to say, he is also a prolific director.

There are naturally many benefits to having her join Galaxy Film and Television Company.

The copyrights that Lin Yicheng had hoarded before finally found a use for them.

What's more, recruiting Lin Yufen also sends a signal to the outside world.

I have a sense of the overall situation and I believe in unity.

Those so-called "hostility towards artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan circles" are absolutely slandering and defaming me!

Whether it is done for the superiors to see or for the outside world to see.

Lin Yufen is the flag standing there.

Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang.

It's an unknown number.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Is that Director Lin?" A woman's voice came from the other side, and it sounded quite nice.

"I am, who are you?"

"I'm Chen Hong. I want to ask Director Lin if you have time. I have something I want to talk to you in person."

Chen Hong?

Lin Yicheng was slightly stunned.

"Director Lin, do you have time?" Chen Hong asked again.

"Oh, there's time."

"Okay then. I'll wait for you at XX Private Club."
-

After hanging up the phone, he called Zheng Jun.

On the way, Lin Yicheng was still thinking about this.

Apart from meeting Chen Hong once at the premiere of "The Promise", he had no other interactions with her.

So what is she doing?
To attract investment for director Kaige?
That’s not right. Shouldn’t the great director Kaige be preparing that tribute film?
That film has no shortage of investment.

If you haven’t figured it out, then don’t think about it. You will know it later.
-

The location of the private club is quite remote, and it is surrounded by green trees. You have to get closer and look carefully to vaguely see a corner of it.

After getting out of the car, Lin Yicheng frowned and looked at Zheng Jun.

Zheng Jun looked back and forth a few times and then nodded to Lin Yicheng.

Men, be sure to protect yourself when you go out.

Especially Lin Yicheng, he must be more careful.

After all, he had messed with too many people before.
-

After entering the club and coming to the private room that Chen Hong mentioned, Lin Yicheng knocked on the door.

"Please come in." Chen Hong's voice came from inside.

Lin Yicheng pushed the door and walked in.

The box is like a living room. Behind the living room, there is a door, which seems to be a small bedroom?

The air conditioner was on and it was quite warm in the box.

I saw the fairy Chang'e sitting on the sofa, wearing a light grey cashmere sweater and black stretch pants. They were very slim-fitting and brought out her exquisite figure.

"Hello, Mrs. Chen." Lin Yicheng was the first to greet.

"You're here." Fairy Chang'e stood up.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

"It's okay, I just got here too."

As the fairy Chang'e spoke, she placed her hands on the hem of her sweater.

"Mrs. Chen, what are you doing?"

Lin Yicheng was shocked. Did Fairy Chang'e drink fake wine or what?

He took a step back, with the door behind him.

Fairy Chang'e did not answer. Her sweater was thrown on the ground, and then she bent down and her stretch pants fell off.

I saw the fairy Chang'e walking towards Lin Yicheng step by step.

Lin Yicheng placed his hand on the door handle.

I am an honest, kind and reliable person!

"Sister Chen, please don't..."

"Woo~"

Lin Yicheng's next words were blocked.
-

The roads in the capital were too congested and there was heavy traffic. Lin Yicheng was worried and decided to personally send the fairy Chang'e home.

"Sister Hong, you are looking for me today, is..." Lin Yicheng asked after getting in the car but before starting the car.

It's been so long, and I was so busy with other things that I didn't even have time to ask about the real matter.

The entertainment industry is really dirty. Even a good person like him with high morals and good character has been led astray.

"It's because of my old Chen." Fairy Chang'e's voice was a little hoarse, and she continued, "Han Sanping said that you recommended my old Chen to film "The Founding of a Republic", is that right?"

"Yes."

"But I heard that Huang Jianxin is also eyeing this project."

"Huang Jianxin?" Lin Yicheng certainly knew this person. He and Han Sanping were old classmates and colleagues, and they had a very special relationship. He was the director of "The Founding of a Republic" and "The Founding of a Party" in his previous life.

But now, with his participation, of course Huang Jianxin can no longer be allowed to provide guidance.

As for this person’s level, I can only say haha.

And his position also has some problems.

However, there is no need to say this to Fairy Chang'e.
-

"Yes, can you help me, Mr. Chen, to clear the way?"

"I just slacked..."

"Let's talk business. Can you help me?" Fairy Chang'e interrupted Lin Yicheng, her face flushed.
"Of course I'm willing to help, but what will I gain from it?"

Lin Yicheng is indeed a particular and down-to-earth person.

But what we just did was just politeness and friendship.

Politeness is politeness and helping is helping, they should not be confused.

Fairy Chang'e was speechless. Even though she had been in the circle for so long, she had never seen anyone as thick-skinned as Lin Yicheng.

Aren’t the benefits we just received enough?

She is still a little unsteady on her feet now.

"Come back tomorrow, I'll still be waiting for you here." Fairy Chang'e gritted her teeth.

"Not enough." Lin Yicheng shook his head slightly.

"You..." Fairy Chang'e was furious. She had realized that the man in front of her was shameless!
"I'll drive."

Without giving Lin Yicheng a chance to refuse, Fairy Chang'e sat directly in the driver's seat, first helped Lin Yicheng fasten his seat belt, then stepped on the clutch and shifted gears. Her movements were done in one go and were very skillful.

"Don't be impatient, just listen to me."

"Yeah~ you say."

"I'm going to star in my next play, please play a cameo role for me."
-

Lin Yicheng was serious about asking the fairy Chang'e to play a cameo role.

You know, her grandfather is not an ordinary person.

Even though he has passed away for so many years, who dares to underestimate the connections and relationships he left behind?
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the great director Kai Ge.

Why does he always have movies to shoot and is always greeted with smiles wherever he goes?
Of course, he had his own reasons, but the role of the fairy Chang'e cannot be ignored.

To be honest, the movie "Taken" is still a bit sensitive.

Those scales can be shot in Hong Kong and Taiwan, or in co-productions, but it would be difficult to do so with a purely mainland cast and funding.

Even though Zhang Hongsen had already read the script and nodded in agreement.

But Lin Yicheng was still a little worried and wanted to add another layer of insurance. The Fairy Chang'e was this insurance.

Just like the later "In the Name of People", even with the endorsement of the Supreme Dali Temple, they still had to find a female actress to play Lu Yike.

The same is true of Taken.
-

"Okay, um~ no problem." Fairy Chang'e agreed readily. She was originally an actress.

Besides, as Lin Yicheng is the most popular director in the industry, there are many people who want to participate in his movies but don’t have the chance.

The road in front of the clubhouse is a small path covered with small stones, which makes the road condition not very good, uneven and a bit bumpy.

"I also want to invest in Director Chen's next film." Lin Yicheng knocked lightly on the car window.

"Well, um, I can't guarantee it. Um, I have to discuss it with my old Chen." Fairy Chang'e changed the gear from first to second.

"Aren't you the boss in your family?"

"Well, I'm the one who makes the decision, but I have to discuss this with Lao Chen. He's a very proud person."

Fairy Chang'e held the steering wheel tightly and drove carefully.

"Okay then. I'll wait for your news later."

"Also, is there anything else?"

Lin Yicheng looked outside the car and saw a full moon rising high in the sky, bright and flawless, and very beautiful.

"Gone."

"Hmm~"
-

Suddenly, the cell phone rang. It was not Lin Yicheng's phone, but the fairy Chang'e's.

"My cell phone, give it to me."

Fairy Chang'e had no free hands, so she had to ask Lin Yicheng for help.

Lin Yicheng handed her the phone and pressed the answer button for her.

What stands out is the thoughtfulness.

"Hey, Lao Chen."

"Honghong, have you seen Lin Yicheng?"

Lin Yicheng clearly heard the voice of director Kaige on the other end of the phone.

"I saw it, ah!"

Fairy Chang'e was a little distracted because she was answering the phone. In addition, the road conditions were too bad and the car might have run over a rock. She screamed in fright.

"Honghong, what's wrong with you?" Director Kaige's voice on the other end of the phone was anxious and full of concern.

"Hiss~ It's okay. I'm fine."

"What's wrong with you? Say something? Where are you now? I'll come to find you right away!" Director Kaige said in an extremely urgent tone.

"I, I'm on the stairs. Um~ I just sprained my ankle accidentally. You, you don't have to come over. I'll be home soon."

After leaving the club and reaching the bend, Fairy Chang'e wanted to brake and slow down.

Maybe it was because she hadn't driven for a long time, and Fairy Chang'e accidentally stepped on the accelerator. The speed of the car suddenly increased. Fairy Chang'e felt a little out of control, and her hands holding the steering wheel were shaking.

"Really not necessary?" Director Kaige asked again.

"No, I can rub it myself and it will be fine in a moment."

"When you get home, I'll apply it on you. Don't touch it yet, it will hurt."

"Ah! It hurts!" Crystal tears flashed in the eyes of the fairy Chang'e.

"Oh, I told you not to touch it, why didn't you listen?" Director Kaige said with a hint of blame in his tone.

"I, I just stepped on it accidentally. Lao Chen, it hurts so much, I miss you so much, ah!"

When the fairy Chang'e was distracted, the car's route changed and it rushed straight to the side of the road.

Fairy Chang'e panicked. It was the first time she experienced such a situation and she was very scared. She wanted to open the car door and jump out, but her seat belt was fastened too tightly and she couldn't move.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lin Yicheng quickly reached out, grabbed the steering wheel, and adjusted the direction with force to prevent the car from losing control.
-

"Honghong, I miss you too. Please come back soon. I have cooked some of your favorite dishes and opened a bottle of good red wine."

"Why, open the wine?"

“Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; except for the Wushan Mountains, all other clouds are but mounds.” Director Kaige is truly a “little master of poetry reciting”, and his clicks are just a line from an ancient poem.

He then continued, "Today is the anniversary of our acquaintance. Honey, I love you."

"Lao Chen, I love you too, ah!"

"Hey, stop rubbing yourself. Come back soon. It's a good time to drink some red wine to relax your muscles and promote blood circulation."

"I don't want to rub it either, but it hurts so much."

"How about you find a place to sit down and rest for a while? You can leave later." Director Kaige said on the other end of the phone.

"I don't dare sit down now. I want to go home and lie down for a while."
-

The club was quite far from the home of the fairy Chang'e, and it took more than an hour to get there.

Lin Yicheng looked up and saw that this was a stand-alone villa with no other houses around.

The lights in the villa were still on. Obviously, Director Kaige was waiting for her to come home.

"You must not forget what you promised me." Fairy Chang'e emphasized this before getting off the car.

"Don't worry, I have always been honest and reliable, and I never cheat anyone." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.
