Chapter 262 If the problem cannot be solved, find a temporary worker
Lin Yicheng didn't want to choose either of the two options given by Uncle Han.

If "Red Cliff" is allowed to be released normally, then the "Initiative" led by Lin Yicheng will become a piece of waste paper.

Lin Yicheng himself will also become a joke in the circle.

What's more, if we don't ban Liang, will we allow him to continue to be active?

Give him the opportunity to continue starring in that disgusting movie to insult Chinese people?
As for the benefits that Uncle Han mentioned.

To be honest, Lin Yicheng really doesn't like it.

No matter how much water there is in his title as a so-called "billionaire", the benefits of at most 18 million are dispensable to him.
-

But if he doesn't allow "Red Cliff" to be released, he doesn't want to offend Uncle Han and destroy the current good relationship between the two parties.

Uncle Han can be said to be the most powerful person in the history of Chinese film industry.

China Film Group Corporation is just a name, but in fact, it is two companies.

They are China Film Group and China Film Co., Ltd., which has absolute controlling rights over it.

Uncle Han currently serves as the chairman of both companies.

In the previous life, since Uncle Han retired, this kind of situation has never happened again.

The chairmen of these two companies are different people.

As for Uncle Han's statement that he came from an ordinary family, just listen to it.

Uncle Han’s father was the head of the forestry department of his hometown province, and his mother was at a similar level.

How could Uncle Han be born in an ordinary family if he was able to rise from an ordinary lighting worker at Emei Film Studio to his current status?
There is also a net behind him.
-

How can I avoid violating my principles and offending Uncle Han?
The root of the problem lies in the chair under Uncle Han's butt.

As long as we can get him to stay in the position, or even make him bigger, then it will be easy.

After finishing a cigarette, Lin Yicheng spoke.

"Uncle Han, what you just said to me was from the bottom of your heart. I also have a few words in my heart that I want to talk to you about."

"Well, Xiaolin, you say." said Uncle Han.

"To be honest, the movie Red Cliff is not good. Let's not talk about how Wu Baige filmed it, let's just talk about Liang Chaowei. Do you think that even if the movie is really released, with his current bad reputation, will the audience be willing to watch a movie starring a traitor?"

"Under these circumstances, how much can this movie earn at the box office? Enough to pay for the film copies? Enough for the publicity and distribution?"

"If the film is not released, China Film will still lose the same amount. But if it is released, China Film may lose more."

Uncle Han smoked silently, his brows furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

Seeing this, Lin Yicheng continued, "Yes, you have the final say on the cinema chain. You can also piece it together, taking a little from this and squeezing some from there."

"But with such a huge investment, how many box office performances of different movies would be needed to make a profit?"

"If the movements are few and small, it will only be a drop in the bucket. But if the movements are many and big, others are not fools, how can they not notice it? So they don't have any objections?"

"If they start making a fuss, it will be your own reputation and prestige that will be damaged."

“Is it worth it for such a movie?”
-

Uncle Han finished the cigarette in his hand. Without saying a word, he took out another cigarette from the box and lit it.

"Uncle Han, the internal pressure you are facing now mainly comes from this person, right?"

As he spoke, Lin Yicheng wrote a surname on the table with his finger.

Uncle Han nodded.

"Uncle Han, you are the one who is confused." Lin Yicheng slapped his thigh and sighed.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Uncle Han finally spoke.

"On the surface, the movie Red Cliff is your problem. But why can't it be someone else's problem?"

"What do you mean?" Uncle Han understood a little, but not completely.

"This is a rotten pit. Now you are in the pit. What should you do if you want to climb out? Of course, you should pull others down, and then step on them to get out of the pit."

Lin Yicheng smiled and continued, "Hide the truth, besiege Wei to save Zhao, use a knife to kill someone, Uncle Han, you should understand these, right?"

"Let me think about it, let me think about it." Uncle Han touched his short flat head and began to think.

"Uncle Han, I have an idea. Would you like to consider it?"

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

The Thirty-Six Strategies have been submitted. We have the guiding principles and policies in place. All that is left is a specific implementation plan.

"Well, you tell me." Han Sanping couldn't think of a solution for a while, so he wanted to hear Lin Yicheng's idea.

"Now is the season when the weather is dry and fires are likely to start. Do you think there will be any accidents with the film negatives of this movie stored in the warehouse?"

Film is very delicate and needs to be properly stored and used.

However, moisture in the rainy season and fires in the dry season are common.

This happens from time to time both at home and abroad.

Now is not later.

Nowadays, the film base is made of nitrocellulose, which has a composition similar to gunpowder cotton and is extremely flammable.

Therefore, the requirements for preservation and projection are very strict. If the operation is not done properly, it is very normal for the film to catch fire due to heat during preservation, or due to frictional heat during projection.

It's a normal physical phenomenon.
-

"Hiss~" Uncle Han took a breath, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Yicheng changed a little.

Others say that he is a ruthless person, but now it seems that his "eldest nephew" is not a good person at all!

"Uncle Han, I don't like the way you look at me. I'm just thinking about you." Lin Yicheng noticed the look in Uncle Han's eyes. He felt a little aggrieved. I'm a good person. How can you look at me like this?
Uncle Han just treated Lin Yicheng's words as bullshit.

If this "eldest nephew" is considered a good person, then everyone else in the circle must be a saint.

"Please continue." Uncle Han asked.

"What if, what if the employee who is responsible for keeping the film is the person just now? Is that person also responsible? It's not clear who he is hiring."

Lin Yicheng also lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Han, you have been in the company for so many years. It must be easy to find such an employee, right?"

Old Uncle Han smiled.

it goes without saying.

"Let's take a step back and say that person can get away with it. But the film is gone and the movie can't be shown. What does that have to do with you? It's all the fault of this temporary worker."

Lin Yicheng used the classic method. Whenever he was indecisive and problems arose, he blamed the temporary workers.
-

"Xiao Lin."

"Ah."

"Uncle, I'm usually nice to you, right? I didn't do anything to offend you, did I? If I did, don't take it personally. We are all family."

Uncle Han spoke his true feelings.

He was really afraid that Lin Yicheng would do the same to him one day.

Thinking about the various methods Lin Yicheng had used to retaliate against his opponents before, to say that he had used them to the extremes was an understatement.

That's really hard to guard against.

Anyone who has such an opponent will not be able to eat or sleep well.

"Uncle Han, look at what you said, of course we are family." Lin Yicheng also said quickly.

"Well, that's good." "Uncle Han, there's no one else in this room. I'll say a few more words, please listen."

Lin Yicheng was not sure whether Uncle Han would do it this way, so he had to add another weight to force Uncle Han to do it.
-

"Just say it."

"Do you know where my godfather was born?" Lin Yicheng said softly.

Uncle Han didn't say anything, but his eyelids twitched slightly.

Of course he knew, he also knew...

"Why do you think I wrote that "Proposal" in the first place? What good will it do me?"

"What do you mean?" Uncle Han was stunned and stopped smoking.

He had never thought about this problem before, but now that he thinks about it, the reasons behind it are so shocking.

"Look, whether it's playing in the Hong Kong circle or the "Proposal", as a young man who has only been in the industry for a few years, do I dare to offend so many people?"

"This includes my godfather's intentions, and my godfather's intentions also include..."

"If Red Cliff is really released, I don't mind losing some face. The key is... Tell me, how will people view you when the time comes?"

After saying this, Lin Yicheng smiled, somewhat unfathomable.

Pull the tiger's skin and make a big flag.

Who wouldn't?
As for whether what he said is true or false?
Uncle Han didn't know, so he could go find his godfather, or even... ask for confirmation?

"Sigh~"

The cigarette in Uncle Han's hand burned out and burned his hand. He was so scared that he immediately pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

"Xiao Lin, don't worry, the movie Red Cliff will never be released. People like Liang Moumou must not be given the slightest chance to make a comeback. From now on, there will be no problem between China Film's position and my position!"

Uncle Han directly said three "absolutely".

Although it seemed that he was talking to Lin Yicheng.

But Lin Yicheng certainly knew who he wanted to hear it.

"Uncle Han, don't worry, your position cannot be questioned." Lin Yicheng also nodded solemnly.

Now that the big stick has been hit, it's time to give some sweet dates.

As the "eldest nephew", of course I have to consider the "uncle".
-

"Uncle Han, you were born in 53, right?"

"Yeah, I'll be 55 soon."

"Look, this year is 08. In another four years, you will be 4 years old, which is the golden age. Don't you want to go a step further?"

Uncle Han's ears immediately pricked up and he couldn't help but lean towards Lin Yicheng.

"There." Lin Yicheng pointed his finger in a direction.

"I'm going to help Lao Zhang up later. When the time comes, do you have any ideas about the chair he left behind?"

"Are you serious?" Uncle Han's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Everything depends on human efforts." Lin Yicheng nodded slightly.

"What do you need me to do?" asked Uncle Han.

"You don't have to do anything special." Lin Yicheng shook his head at first, then remembered what Uncle Han had just said.

"By the way, don't do that again in the future about what you just said about taking or not taking. If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it. ... I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes."

"No, it definitely won't happen again." Uncle Han agreed repeatedly.
-

"In fact, all you have to do is to do a good job in the company's performance, and that's the greatest achievement."

"That's true, but the risks of making movies are still too great nowadays. Once the money is invested, who knows if it will be successful if it's not released? If things go wrong, all the money will be wasted." Uncle Han sighed.

"As you know, I have a good relationship with some coal bosses. Some time ago, they also wanted to enter the film and television industry, so I cooperated with them. In the future, we will mainly make horror films and the like. In the future, they will not only be released domestically, but also distributed to some Southeast Asian countries." Lin Yicheng said.

"You've done a good job in finding another way out for these coal bosses who are rich but can't sit still." Uncle Han had heard about this matter.

"China Film, do you want to get involved?"

"Hmm? That's not good. Investing in that kind of movie will damage the image of China Film Group."

It is said to be a horror movie, but it was made by coal bosses, so Uncle Han knew what was in it without having to think about it.

"Why not just not use the name of China Film? Just keep quiet and make a fortune."

"This is indeed a solution." Uncle Han thought about it and nodded.

Although horror films rarely become box office hits, the key is that the investment is small and the cycle is short.

What matters is a short, flat and fast
Moreover, the audience is stable and can last for a long time.

If China Film Group gets involved, it will be a new way to make money.

"Okay then. I'll talk to the coal bosses later. I'm sure they'll agree."

Lin Yicheng was very sure about this.

Those horror movies, even if they are the edited versions released in China, still have some borderline authenticity.

If someone really gets jealous and wants to report it, there could still be problems.

It would be easy if we had China Film Group to provide support.

He found a way to make money for China Film Group and secured financial security for the coal bosses, and Lin Yicheng himself also benefited from it, both in terms of the apparent gains from his shares and the significance of its "cultural export".

Kill many birds with one stone.
-

"Also, I heard that your daughter also wants to develop in this industry?" Lin Yicheng asked Uncle Han's daughter.

In later life, Uncle Han’s daughter graduated with a master’s degree from the 11th grade directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

This is Uncle Han’s biological daughter, of course she can get in and graduate successfully.

"Yes, she has this idea. She wants to be a screenwriter first and then see if she can develop into a director or producer in the future." Uncle Han nodded.

"Well, let her go to the coal boss and write a few scripts first. Horror movie scripts are not difficult, and it's a good opportunity for her to practice. When she has experience, she can come to my company and help me out. What do you think?"

Although screenwriters don't make money, it depends on who they work for.

Coal bosses are generous by nature.

She is Uncle Han’s daughter.

Just based on this point, how could the coal bosses treat her unfairly?

By the same token, once she joins Galaxy Film and Television Company, Lin Yicheng will also let her earn a little more.

The money is earned cleanly and legally, and no one can find any fault with it.

Isn’t it much better than what Uncle Han takes away on his own?
"Thank you for your trouble." Uncle Han showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"We are all family. After all, I am her brother. It's only natural." Lin Yicheng also smiled.

Lin Yicheng has given a solution to Uncle Han’s problem.

Lin Yicheng also painted a big picture for his room for improvement.

Lin Yicheng also made all the necessary arrangements for his daughter.

Where can I find such a "nephew"?
It’s hard to find even with a lantern!
