Chapter 263 Pan-East Asian Entertainment Community
Then, Lin Yicheng and Han Sanping discussed the investment issues of "Taken" and "Crazy Racing".

Firstly, China Film Group’s funds are indeed insufficient.

Second, Lin Yicheng had just given Han Sanping several big gifts.

Therefore, for both films, Galaxy Film invested 60% and China Film only invested 20%.

As for the remaining 20%, Lin Yicheng plans to give it all to Fatty Bona.

This time, Lin Yicheng kicked Qingying out.

Some time ago, Xie Xiaojing made progress and no longer served as the person in charge of Qingying.

Because Lin Yicheng has been cooperating with Qingying, Qingying's performance is very good.

Therefore, Xie Xiaojing was transferred back to Beijing Film Academy one year earlier than the original time and space and served as vice president.

The new person in charge is said to have been transferred from Changchun Film Studio.

The key point is that this person is not from Beijing Film Academy.

Of course, Lin Yicheng had no idea whether there was any “picking peaches” involved.

Qingying needs funds but no funds, needs theaters but no theaters, needs distribution but no distribution, and needs publicity but no publicity.

He just followed the others to eat meat and could no longer help Lin Yicheng in any way.

Since the instructors are no longer around, Lin Yicheng naturally doesn't want to continue playing with Qingying.

This does not affect the relationship between Lin Yicheng and Beijing Film Academy.

As long as Xinghe Film and Television Company continues to use the front and backstage staff of Beijing Film Academy, Beijing Film Academy will always be Lin Yicheng's most beloved alma mater.
-
Before leaving, Lin Yicheng remembered something.

"Uncle Han, has Lu Chuan approached you to solicit investment?"

"I have, but I haven't agreed to him yet. What's wrong?"

"Don't vote for it. There's something wrong with his movie."

"Another problem?" Han Sanping was surprised.

"Yes, he wanted to film this movie from the perspective of the devils. The situation is more serious than Jiang Wen's "The Devils Are Coming" back then."

"Okay, don't worry, China Film Group will not invest in his movie." Han Sanping quickly agreed.

At the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Fortunately, Lin Yicheng reminded me, otherwise, we would have had "Red Cliff" first and this later.

Having invested in two problematic movies in succession, even if Han Sanping's stance is fine, who would believe it?
-
After leaving China Film Academy, Lin Yicheng looked back.

An entertainment industry, a...

Uncle Han has occupied both of the two most... circles.

People in the arena involuntarily.

No matter how much controversy Uncle Han has, at least he truly wants to do something for Chinese films.

His achievements cannot be erased.

Unfortunately, Uncle Han did not have the ability to see through the sky, and due to the limitations of the times, his vision was still a little short-sighted.

Look at the people he often invests in. Out of ten, at least half have problems.

To put it bluntly, there are too few talented people in the mainland.

It is not easy to find someone who has no problems and is capable.

Therefore, Lin Yicheng did not quite agree with Uncle Han's suggestion to make as many friends as possible.

The overall scale of the film and television industry is still too small.

Spiritual food is just spiritual food and cannot be eaten as a meal.

If it weren't for its publicity function, the bigwigs would not take it seriously at all.

So, just one or two friends in the circle are enough.

If you want to find friends, you have to look for those in other circles.

A circle that is more advanced than the entertainment industry.
-
The investment amounts for the two films have been confirmed, and there is still a lot to come.

Advertising investment and determination of filming countries, etc.

Advertising and investment promotion are very simple. Lin Yicheng's name is the best signboard.

As soon as Galaxy Film and Television Company released the news, various manufacturers were trying their best to get in.

These manufacturers basically mean the same thing: don’t mention money, it will hurt feelings.

As long as I can get them to implant it, any price is fine.

Businesses are all profit-seeking. Whoever can bring them benefits is their living ancestor.

The example of "Xinlian" is right in front of us.

How much did HL and KFC earn?

In "Taken", the mobile phone is a key prop.

Nokia, a friendly competitor, directly offered a price of 1000 million.

In addition, Nokia also directly sent 200 mobile phones of various models for the crew to use during filming.

Nokia also said that these phones do not need to be returned after use.

This time, they finally stopped being stingy, which is rare.

But it's normal.

With the emergence of Apple mobile phones, Nokia's position as the leader has become somewhat unstable.

In the markets of some countries, it has suffered successive defeats and has been conquered by Apple.

Nokia, feeling tremendous pressure, will certainly try every possible means to solve the problem.

The man who was familiar with Lin Yicheng, who was previously the vice president of Nokia Greater China and has now successfully removed the word "vice" from his title, also contacted Lin Yicheng, wanting to continue the collaboration when "Taken" was released.

Lin Yicheng agreed.

There is no rush as to how the linkage will be implemented, we will discuss it in detail later.
-
Wahaha and Audi, two friendly competitors, also offered the same price as Nokia.

There are dozens of other brands, big and small, and the advertising placement of "Taken" is about 8000 million.

Once again broke Lin Yicheng's own record.

Originally, this number could be even higher.

The German company HK also contacted Galaxy Film and Television Company, wanting to implant its products.

The price offered is also very attractive, 200 million euros, equivalent to about 2000 million yuan.

They also said that if you are not satisfied with the price, you can negotiate it again.

Talk about shit.

Lin Yicheng refused directly.

What does this company do?

This is Germany's most famous firearms company and one of the most influential arms companies in the world.

Famous firearms such as MP5, G3, USP, etc. are all produced by this company.

Lin Yicheng would have to be crazy to advertise for a foreign arms dealer in his own movie.

He's not tired of living yet.
-
Compared to Taken, Crazy Racing's advertising revenue is much less.

Although this is one of the "Crazy Series", Yang Qing's reputation is far inferior to Lin Yicheng.

The main prop of "Crazy Racing" is bicycles. Giant, which once cooperated with Galaxy Film and Television Company, offered a price of 500 million.

Together with the three major friendly companies and other brands, the advertising revenue of this movie is about 3000 million.

Enough to cover all filming costs, with some extra to spare.

It is worth mentioning that Tencent has also joined in this time.

Tencent doesn’t need to pay any placement fees, just exchange resources.

After "Crazy Racing" is released, Tencent will provide promotional space on platforms such as QQ and QQ Space.

In Ning Hao's version, the product that was embedded was Kongzhong.com.

Yang Qing's version naturally became Tencent.com.

Lin Yicheng personally called Tony Ma and asked him if he was willing to cooperate.

Tony Ma is not Jack Ma.

Jack Ma doesn't care about projects worth less than 30 billion yuan and will not negotiate in person.

Tony Ma agreed readily.

Affected by the stock market crash, Tencent's stock price has not improved much.

Tony Ma is certainly willing to take advantage of the opportunity of movie promotion to boost its stock price.

As a shareholder of Tencent, Lin Yicheng's net worth will also increase.

This wave is called win-win.

On the phone, Tony Ma warmly invited Lin Yicheng to visit Shenzhen Stock Exchange when he had time, as he wanted to have a chat with Lin Yicheng.

Lin Yicheng also agreed.
-
There is no problem with the character arrangement of the two films.

Let’s talk about “Crazy Racing” first.

Except that the role of Xu Guangtou was replaced by Lei Datou, everything else remained unchanged.

Starring Huang Bo, with supporting actors Jiu Kong, Rong Xiang, Gao Jie and Wang Xun.

Especially Wang Shuangbao and Badu, this "graduate school entrance examination duo" must not change.

In this movie, there are not many funny moments about Huang Bo, and most of the laughs are concentrated on the "graduate school entrance examination duo".

Because of the plot requirements, the gangsters selling laundry detergent need to be from Taiwan.

Lin Yicheng had people check the backgrounds of Taiwanese actors such as Jiu Kong, Rong Xiang and Gao Jie.

As for the stance, there is no problem, so you can use it with confidence.

Especially Jiu Kong. He once hosted a science and education program in Taiwan called "Discoverer". In the program, he regarded himself as a Chinese and was proud of Chinese culture.

As a result, Xinghe Films already has Hong Kong director Lin Yufen under its umbrella, and is now working with Taiwanese actors. From now on, who can still say that Lin Yicheng has opinions about Hong Kong and Taiwan artists? Who can still say that he is not united enough? ——
As for Taken.

After considering several Southeast Asian countries, Lin Yicheng decided to go to Thailand for filming.

No other reason.

The Tourism Bureau of Thailand is so enthusiastic and the conditions it offers are so good.

During the filming period, the corresponding food and accommodation were all covered by the crew, and the crew did not have to spend a penny.

Moreover, the other party can also provide various kinds of help.

For example, police officers were sent into the hotel to protect the safety of the crew members.

For example, helping to find a suitable shooting location, helping to block traffic when the crew needs it, and providing corresponding extras, etc.

When it comes to the financial crisis in 97, Thailand suffered the worst.

The country's economy has basically collapsed and the Thai baht is almost worthless.

In the past two years, I have finally been able to catch my breath and things have started to improve.

Unfortunately, we encountered the subprime mortgage crisis.

Thailand has suffered a lot.
-
All industries are unable to develop, and the only reliable one is the core industry, tourism.

Therefore, in order to drive domestic economic development through tourism, it is reasonable for the Tourism Authority of Thailand to offer such favorable conditions.

Maybe because they were worried that Lin Yicheng would not agree with the conditions they offered, the other director contacted the Radio and Television Bureau directly, hoping that they would help to intercede for him.

In this case, it is no longer a simple movie issue.

It has risen to the level of diplomacy.

The Radio, Film and Television Administration attached great importance to this. Zhang Hongsen called Lin Yicheng directly and asked him to go to Thailand to shoot.

Of course Lin Yicheng would not refuse.

To put it simply, going to Thailand to shoot can save a lot of manpower, material resources and funds.

To put it in a broader sense, he is carrying an important mission and he is acting as the vanguard of cultural exchanges between the two countries.

Since others are giving him face like this, it's not like Lin Yicheng doesn't know how to behave.

In "Taken", Thai actors will be invited to play several supporting roles.

For this purpose, Lin Yicheng even specially modified the script.

In the original drama, the protagonist's daughter was traveling to France with her best friend and was kidnapped.

Because my best friend was not a virgin, she was injected with a large amount of drugs and tortured to death.

Speaking of which, the role of best friend is quite unlikable.

It was because she was credulous and even lusty towards men that all the subsequent incidents occurred.

Originally, Lin Yicheng was still considering who to let play this role, but now he doesn’t have to consider it anymore and can just change it.

There is a foreign female teacher in my daughter’s high school. She is a Thai and they have a very good relationship.

Invited by her Thai teacher, my daughter went on a trip to Thailand.

Then the two were kidnapped.

A Thai teacher sacrificed himself to protect his daughter.

I'm sure our Thai friends will be satisfied with such a glorious and righteous character.
-
This change didn’t matter, Lin Yicheng was immediately filled with inspiration.

Since it has risen to the diplomatic level, it has become a cultural exchange between the two countries.

Then the gangsters must no longer be local Thai gangs.

This is just a slap in the face.

Who should we replace?
Well, there is one, it’s very suitable.

A country founded by a "Jew".

Those gangsters are all "fish".

Since they are "Yukyu", they certainly can't just kidnap women and use drugs to control them to sell Y.

Then change it to trafficking in human organs.

If not, how can we highlight the brutality and cruelty of “Youyu”?

Of course, Lin Yicheng did not make up the rumor out of thin air; they really did it.

Lin Yicheng has seen related news reports.

Moreover, the relationship between us and each other...

Arabs are Arab brothers, so what about the "Jews" who are at odds with Arabs...

Despite our sincere efforts, it took 42 years for the other side to recognize us and establish diplomatic relations with us.

In our 24-level diplomatic relations, the other party ranks third from the bottom!

I won’t mention the fact that the other party sold weapons to a certain province many times.

Just say that two years ago, in 06, a PLA lieutenant colonel was...
-
So, in just over two hours, Lin Yicheng's latest script was produced.

This version is very different from the original drama.

Yang Weidong (played by Zhang Guangbei) was a Vietnam War veteran.

After that, I worked in some conservation jobs.

He got married in his thirties and had a daughter.

Because of his work, he was unable to be with his family all the time.

After middle age, in order to be a competent father and make up for his fatherly love for his 16-year-old daughter Yang Na (played by Guli Nazha), he chose to give up his job.

My daughter Yang Na went to Thailand for a trip with her Thai teacher, but was kidnapped by bandits.

With the help of his former comrades and partners, Yang Weidong discovered that this was a criminal group that mainly sold laundry detergent and human organs.

This criminal group is the black glove of the "Samoyed" spy organization of the "Yuyu" country, and is dedicated to making money for the "Samoyed".

Yang Weidong only has 90 hours to rescue his daughter!
On the second day after the incident, Yang Weidong rushed to the place where his daughter had the accident in Bangkok. He found out from the broken mobile phone card that Yang Na and her Thai teacher were targeted by the criminals after they arrived at Bangkok Airport.

After finding the gangster's spy, Yang Weidong pursued him relentlessly, causing the spy to die accidentally while escaping in a hurry, and the clue was interrupted.

Yang Weidong found a Thai friend he once knew, Songpa, who worked at the National Security Bureau of Thailand. From the clues provided by Songpa, Yang Weidong found the lair of this criminal group.

The lair was filled with various preserved human organs, as well as women who had died after their organs were removed.

After several risky inquiries, Yang Weidong learned that because his daughter was young, beautiful and full of energy, she had been transferred to another place, where her organs would be removed on the spot and transplanted to a big boss of "Yukyu".

In order to prevent Yang Weidong from causing trouble in Thailand, Songpa sent people to follow him.

Moreover, Songpa is the umbrella for criminal gangs in Thailand.

After several twists and turns, Yang Weidong finally learned where Yang Na was transferred.

So, Yang Weidong used all his strength and killed people all the way, and finally succeeded in rescuing Yang Na.
-
At the end of the script, Lin Yicheng left a tail.

At the site of the final battle, there was a very hidden camera that captured everything at the scene, including Yang Weidong's appearance.

Well, for the sequel.

Then, Lin Yicheng gave the script to Zhang Hongsen for review.

Zhang Hongsen nodded in agreement.

Now that the script is finalized, the only problem left is who to find to play the Thai teacher.

After much deliberation, Lin Yicheng picked out a candidate.

Sachu, known as the "Thai version of Fatty Fan".

Since Fan Xiaopang can't act in this drama, it's reasonable to find a Thai version of her to replace her, right?
In fact, Lin Yicheng has a more ambitious blueprint in his mind.

Although this blueprint is not yet mature, the general framework is already there.

In the past, the "Belt and Road Initiative" and the "Maritime Silk Road" would be emphasized, as would the "community of shared future for mankind."

As a pioneer, Lin Yicheng can definitely do some things in advance.

Whether it is his own film and television dramas, the film and television dramas of Galaxy Film and Television Company, or the film and television dramas of Tangren, they can all be continuously exported to Southeast Asia in the future.

This is true for both the coal boss's horror movies and the HL brand.

Of course, it is inevitable that some personal stuff will be smuggled in during the output process.

For example, Chinese culture, Chinese characters, Hanfu and so on.

After all, Southeast Asia has been influenced by many years, so people will accept things quickly.

Output alone is not enough, otherwise people will have complaints.

Then let’s get the film and television companies from these countries to join in the fun.

For example, this time we found Shachu from Thailand to make her famous and increase her visibility.

Then the agency or entertainment company behind her would certainly be happy to see it happen.

These are all real benefits.

Follow their example in the future and get results wherever you go.

Actors from Malaysia and Singapore can all do this.

Let these people participate in TV series and movies produced by Xinghe Film and Television Company or Tangren, and give them supporting roles or something like that.

After doing it more and becoming familiar with it, Lin Yicheng's real purpose can be carried out.

Once his acquired video website matures, he can definitely organize a "XX Night" or something like that.

Later, when the video website goes abroad and enters the Southeast Asian market, this "XX Night" will be similar to an international award.

By then, won’t the actors from those countries be scrambling to come?

Let these people show up on this "XX Night" and promote it vigorously, and they will become international movie stars.

At that time, let these people promote their country's specialties, such as tropical fruits.

After all, the ultimate goal of an actor is to sell goods.

Considering the size of China's population, how huge is the sales volume?
The size of those small Southeast Asian countries is enough to kill them!
Those countries saw the benefits, how could they not be tempted? How could they not play along with Lin Yicheng?
What's this called?
This is called the “Pan-East Asian Entertainment Community”!
What is the relationship between countries? It’s all about interests.

With such interests as a bundle, where will these countries stand in the future?
