Chapter 266 From then on, he finally became a great lord (1.1, please subscribe, please vote)
At the end of May, the filming of "Taken" in Thailand ended.
During the nearly two months of filming, the crew did not encounter any trouble here.
Smooth road, green lights all the way.
The Tourism Authority of Thailand also organized a farewell dinner to entertain the entire crew.
This attitude couldn't be more enthusiastic or more appropriate.
Lin Yicheng was also willing to return the favor.
During the dinner, he told the head of the Tourism Bureau that in the future, Galaxy Film and Television Company would consider Thailand as a filming location.
This is the truth.
For example, "Lost in Thailand" and "Detective Chinatown 3" were originally set to be filmed in Thailand, and there are some that are not convenient to shoot in China, such as "The Accidental Detective" and "Bad Genius".
-
After returning to China, Lin Yicheng began shooting the opening and ending scenes of the film at the China Film Studio in Beijing.
The opening story is about how Yang Weidong cannot be with his family due to work reasons, so he has some estrangement with his family.
This is very different from the original drama.
In the original drama, the wife remarried and married a rich man, and then it was she who instigated her daughter to travel abroad.
This character is very unlikable.
Since Lin Yicheng asked Chen Hong to guest star in this role, it certainly cannot be filmed like this.
At the photography base, Lin Yicheng met Chen Hong after a long time.
The performance of both parties was normal.
It's totally the relationship between director and actor.
Lin Yicheng didn't have any improper thoughts in his mind.
He had reflected on this before.
Being a wife is good, but it is also troublesome.
It’s okay to use the surname Cao once or twice occasionally, but not three times.
Therefore, Lin Yicheng has made up his mind that he will never coexist with "Cao Thief"!
This time, not only Diao Chan but Chen Hong made a guest appearance.
Lin Yicheng also invited Sun Yanjun, who played Liu Bei in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Shuming, who played Guan Yu, and Li Jingfei, who played Zhang Fei.
Let them play the role of Yang Weidong’s old comrades and old partners.
These are all gimmicks.
Lin Yicheng specially designed a scene for the four people.
In the camera, four people are sitting around a small table, drinking and chatting.
At this time, the old squad leader Sun Yanjun spoke.
"Back then, Old Yang, I really admired your skills. For three consecutive years, you won first place in the military competition. Since you retired, no one has been able to win three consecutive championships. It's a pity that you are not a soldier under my command."
Lu Shuming also put down his wine glass, stroked his beard, and continued: "Yes, at that time, the three of us brothers attacked together and barely tied with you. In my life, I will never submit to anyone except you."
The taciturn Li Jingfei just gave Zhang Guangbei a thumbs up and said in a Hebei accent: "Me too."
Then, the four of them smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
These four people are all veteran actors, so it was very easy for them to handle this plot.
The comradeship and brotherhood between the four people were perfectly interpreted.
There is no need for NG or saving a single line.
-
At noon, Lin Yicheng, Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Diao Chan sat together to eat.
When these old friends met again, they all opened up and talked.
Reminiscing about the filming of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and talking about the current situation of those friends...
Lin Yicheng listened with great interest.
He was very interested in the behind-the-scenes stories of the TV series based on the Four Great Classics.
By the way, the conditions for those film crews back then were really difficult.
The actors all lived in the same room, with several of them squeezed into a large bunk bed.
We eat the same food, radishes, cabbages, potatoes, cooked in different ways, and occasionally we have some meat, it feels like New Year's Day.
There is no difference in status or fame among actors.
In addition, a play often takes one to two years or even more time to shoot.
In this situation, actors can really develop true friendships with each other.
-
In later lives, the third brother Li Jingfei fell seriously ill, and the second brother Lu Shuming really contributed money and effort to help the third brother in various ways.
Later, his second brother Lu Shuming died suddenly of a heart attack. Fearing that Li Jingfei could not bear such bad news, his relatives and friends chose to conceal it.
In the end, the third brother Li Jingfei still found out. Just 23 days later, the "third brother" followed the "second brother", which is really sad.
It’s not like now, where the relationships between actors are basically superficial and plastic.
In front of the camera, hello, hello, hello everyone, all very friendly and affectionate.
As soon as they left the camera, they went their separate ways without even saying hello to each other.
For example, in a certain variety show in later generations, the "brotherhood" was so touching and moving.
"Xiao Zhu, don't forget that you still have a home in Beijing, and you also have a brother in Beijing named Sun Honglei."
How many chicken strips fans were touched by this sentence?
Then, Xiaozhu got into trouble, and his "good brother" liked the Weibo post of the girl's best friend.
-
Here, Lin Yicheng and his friends were chatting animatedly.
On the other side, Lao Gu was giving instructions to his fellow villager, the field manager Chen Yingjun.
"Have you understood everything I taught you? Mr. Lin attaches great importance to these tidbits. They must be written and filmed well."
Today, Lao Gu no longer needs Lin Yicheng’s personal guidance. He has become a mature “master of behind-the-scenes shooting”.
"Is it really okay for us to write it like this?" Chen Yingjun was a little hesitant.
The truth is that he felt that what Lao Gu wrote was too outrageous.
[Sun Yanjun, Lu Shuming, Li Jingfei and Zhang Guangbei reunited as old friends, and the four of them hugged each other and cried bitterly...]
[The four of them recalled the past and sang "The Yangtze River Flows East" together, attracting all the crew members to join in. For a while, hundreds of people sang loudly...]
[After singing the song, Zhang Guangbei enthusiastically competed with Sun, Lu, and Li, recreating the classic plot of "Three Heroes Fighting against Lu Bu"...]
And so on, and so on.
"You just lack some understanding, like a blockhead." Old Gu felt a little disappointed.
"What is propaganda? To publicize means to say it publicly and spread it out; to spread means to circulate, and it can even be a rumor. Do you understand?"
Lao Gu patted Chen Yingjun on the shoulder and said, "Today, I will teach you a lesson."
"Do you know how to write the traditional Chinese character for '传'?" As he said this, Lao Gu wrote "传" on the notebook.
"Look, the character on the right is '専', with 叀 on the top and 寸 on the bottom, which refers to the ability to operate textiles. Then the character '人' is added to it, which means a person who has mastered this ability."
"What does textile operation mean? It means weaving, fabricating, making up stories, and telling stories."
"We are the ones who write and tell stories. The audience doesn't care whether the story is true or false. They only care whether the story is interesting. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, I understand." Chen Yingjun nodded repeatedly, and seemed to have finally figured it out.
-
"By the way, Brother Gu, oh, no, Producer Gu, you know so much." Chen Yingjun said admiringly.
"So, you have to read more. What kind of person is our General Lin? He is a talented man, a cultured person. We are catering to his tastes. Otherwise, how can we keep up with General Lin? If we can't even keep up with him, how can we make progress?"
Lao Gu was very caring towards this fellow villager, so he said a few more words from his heart.
"Look at me. I've only been with Mr. Lin for four years. I started as a field assistant, then became a lifestyle producer, and now an assistant producer. What a huge improvement!"
"With other people, with other crews, there's no way such a good thing could happen. They might even be standing still."
"You, study hard and work hard. By this time next year, maybe people will call you 'Producer Chen'."
"Really?" Chen Yingjun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How can I deceive you? As long as you are smart and have a little bit of insight, there won't be any big problem."
"I understand. I will work hard." Chen Yingjun nodded heavily.
He had something in his heart but he didn't dare say it.
His goal is more than just being a life producer.
He wants to be a casting director!
He had heard that the life of a casting director was extremely comfortable.
Be the bridegroom every night, change the bride every night, enter the bridal chamber every night!
Chen Yingjun was particularly yearning for this.
This is the life he longs for.
-
In the afternoon, the crew continued filming as usual.
It's Chen Hong's turn to play opposite Zhang Guangbei.
By the way, there is really no problem with Chen Hong's acting skills.
At noon, she was still talking and laughing with Zhang Guangbei.
Once you enter the camera, you're in a different state.
My husband is away from home all year round and cannot spend time with his family on holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
Whenever there is a big or small matter at home, I have to ask others for help.
In this situation, even if the couple has a deep affection for each other, the wife will naturally feel dissatisfied and resentful towards her husband.
Chen Hong performed this emotion very well.
Just one look, one micro-expression, can make people clearly feel her "resentment".
It's impossible to tell that this is acting.
See Chen Hong's performance.
Lin Yicheng had a guess in his mind.
Director Kaige is old after all.
In some aspects, perhaps we are really unable to do it.
Chen Hong is at the age of "forty is like a tiger".
This kind of "resentment" is understandable.
-
By early June, "Taken" was officially wrapped up.
Lin Yicheng still plans to release this film during the Lunar New Year holiday.
In the original time and space, there was not a single decent movie in this year's Lunar New Year holiday. Basically, there were only bad movies and flop movies.
Hong Kong films have suffered a heavy blow nowadays, and during the Lunar New Year period, as expected, all of them are little Camillas.
"Taken" was released during this period, which was a perfect time, place and people.
I guess he will kill people randomly like the male protagonist.
Lin Yicheng is very confident about this.
With plenty of time, Lin Yicheng is not in a hurry to do post-production.
He has other things to do.
After a long period of planning and preparation, the time has come to acquire the video website.
The professional investment team he hired has reported information over the years that is more than one meter high when piled up.
To put it bluntly, today's video website industry is in the "grassroots era".
There are good and bad people mixed together, and many heroes emerge.
Limited by broadband conditions, users' requirements are not high.
As long as the video is not stuck and the picture quality is acceptable, users will be satisfied.
Unfortunately, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis is still ongoing.
Investment banks and institutions, as the groups that suffered the most in the subprime mortgage crisis, are now tightening their credit and dare not cast a wide net, catch more fish, or invest easily as they did before.
Without investment and funds to burn, the situation of those video websites is generally not very good.
Among the numerous video websites, Lin Yicheng finally decided on his target - PPS.
Originally, Lin Yicheng considered Kuaibo.
After all, their core technology is really awesome.
Whether it is video capture, downloading and watching at the same time, or high-definition quality and so on.
Qvod is the number one in the industry.
In terms of technology, Youku, Sohu and the like are no match for KuaiBo.
I can only say that it’s a pity for Qvod, it’s a pity for Lao Wang, and it’s a pity for the majority of male compatriots in China…
The reputation of Kuaibo was the main reason why Lin Yicheng gave up.
He doesn't want his video website to be seen as an H-porn website by the public, especially those above him.
-
The video website PPS is currently considered a second-tier one in the industry, far behind Youku, LeTV, Sohu and others.
Even among the second-rate ones, there is a clear gap between them and PPTV, 56, Ku6, and Liujianfang.
The reason for this is that the three founders, Zhang Hongyu, Lei Liang and Xu Weifeng, are short of funds.
In the early days of their business, they received a one million US dollar investment from an American venture capital firm, which provided them with the capital to start their business.
In March last year, China Everbright Capital and Qiming Venture Partners invested another US$3 million.
But in the Internet industry, where money is burned like water, this little amount of money can only make a small splash at best.
Today, although the first and second copyright wars have not started, the smoke of war in the video website industry is already everywhere.
Today you attack me for pirating, tomorrow I will sue you for plagiarism.
Wars of words and lawsuits are in full swing and happening every day.
The situation of PPS is very bad.
Weakness is the original sin.
-
Lin Yicheng naturally had his considerations for choosing PPS.
First of all, PPS's technical team is very strong and is considered to be first-class in the industry. Unfortunately, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without sufficient funds, no matter how good the technology is, it will be useless.
Secondly, the equity structure of PPS is clear. The three founders hold more than 60% of the shares, and the remaining three venture capital institutions hold less than 40% in total.
As long as he takes over the shares held by these three people, Lin Yicheng will naturally have absolute controlling rights.
As for the three venture capital institutions, whether to kick them out, dilute them, or continue to cooperate, it is up to Lin Yicheng to decide.
Thirdly, it can weaken Baidu, a future competitor, in advance.
Among the BAT big three, Lin Yicheng is very unhappy with Baidu and Ali.
Baidu does not care about human affairs. It has no moral integrity and no bottom line in order to make money.
Ahri doesn't consider herself a human, but a god, and wants to control the mortals in the world...
Although Xiao Ma Ge also makes money in various ways and also plagiarizes, he is still much better than Lao Li and Jack Ma.
Finally, the price of PPS is cheap, very cheap.
In the past, PPS’s operating ideas were very clear and unique.
In 06, he live-broadcasted the launch of Shenzhou VI, thus coming to the fore.
In August 08, it opened up channels with the radio and television and obtained the "Information Network Audiovisual Program Transmission License" issued by the radio and television.
Then, it successfully broadcast the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games live, and on the night of the Olympic Games opening ceremony, it set a record of 1800 million daily users and 428 million people online at the same time.
It is precisely because of this achievement that PPS has once again attracted the attention of venture capital institutions including LB Investment and PCCW, the second son of Li Huanggua, and obtained development funds.
In 12, PPS became the second largest company in the industry, catching up with the leading company Youku.
Unfortunately, in 13, PPS was acquired by Baidu for US$3.7 million and merged with iQiyi to become "iQiyi Suike".
Today, PPS has not yet obtained a license issued by the Radio, Film and Television Administration and has yet to rise.
The three founders were troubled by lack of funds.
It’s just the right time to acquire them now.
A little earlier or a little later, regardless of whether these three people will sell it, the price will be much higher.
-
So, in mid-June, Lin Yicheng brought the investment team to Shanghai and came to Shanghai Zhongyuan Network Co., Ltd.
One party sincerely wants to buy, and the other party is willing to sell.
The negotiation process went relatively smoothly.
There were only two issues that the two sides argued about for several days.
One is the price.
These three founders, of course, understood that the more than 60% of shares in their hands represented absolute controlling rights, so they raised the price.
Of course Lin Yicheng wanted to lower the price.
Finally, a number that satisfied both parties was reached.
The overall valuation of PPS was 5 million, and Lin Yicheng paid more than 3 million to buy all of their shares.
Another question is whether these three people will stay or go.
After all, it is the result of their hard work in starting a business, and the three of them have feelings for PPS.
Originally, the division of labor among these three people was very clear.
Zhang Hongyu is the product director, Lei Liang is the technical director, and Xu Weifeng, a professional manager from Taiwan, is the CEO.
In later generations, PPS is completely free, no registration is required, you can use it after downloading. The playback is smooth, P2P transmission, the more people watch, the smoother it is.
These features are very popular among users.
It seems that there is no problem with the product and the technology.
Then why was PPS complained by users, gradually abandoned, and then acquired by Baidu?
There is something wrong with CEO Xu Weifeng.
There are problems with the operation and positioning of PPS.
-
Speaking of which, there is a common problem in the domestic Internet industry that Lin Yicheng finds puzzling.
They particularly like to hire Taiwanese people to serve as senior executives, no matter how big or small the company is, as if the company cannot survive without hiring a Taiwanese person.
It is true that the domestic Internet is basically copied from the United States. They do whatever others do.
There are many Taiwanese people in Internet companies in the United States.
Therefore, hiring these experienced and capable Taiwanese people has become the "secret code for success" in the industry.
In later generations, there were news reports that many Internet companies from mainland China and other places went to Taiwan to "grab" talent!
But they don’t think about this: those Taiwanese executives are treated as sons or even grandsons by the Americans. How can they not work honestly?
Once they arrive in the mainland and hold power, they can finally become the superiors and the masters. Won't they let themselves go?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Sina, what has happened to it due to the harm done to it by this group of people?
What has this bunch of people done to Weibo?
They even dared to delete the Weibo posts of ZiXge and Tuantuan. How audacious! Lawless!
What's more, these people, on the American side, are basically tools who obey orders. It's unclear how capable they are or what abilities they have.
Brother San is doing well in the American Internet industry, why not invite them?
You can't be disgusted by the smell of curry on me, right?
-
So, Lin Yicheng only left Zhang Hongyu and Lei Liang, and told Xu Weifeng to take the money and get out.
Zhang Hongyu continues to be responsible for product design, and Lei Liang continues to be responsible for technical aspects.
In order to appease people, Lin Yicheng painted a pie in the sky for the two of them.
As long as they work enough years and have outstanding performance, they will be given a small amount of equity incentives in the future.
Lin Yicheng's sincerity was clear, so both of them naturally agreed.
Of course, Lin Yicheng did more than that.
The first order he issued was to change the name of PPS.
Changed to "Galaxy Video".
PPS is not very famous nowadays, let alone user stickiness.
There is no loss at all by changing the name.
Moreover, after the name change, users can tell at a glance that it is a product of "Galaxy".
Because of their trust in Lin Yicheng and Xinghe Film and Television, users will also trust "Xinghe Video".
After all, the saying "What Galaxy produces must be high-quality" has been widely circulated.
This is Lin Yicheng using himself and the reputation of Galaxy Film and Television to endorse the four words "Galaxy Video".
-
The name has been changed, the branding has been applied, but there are still problems.
Lin Yicheng was just beginning to become familiar with the company's employees.
So how do you actually control the company?
Adding sand is what any qualified boss would do.
Lin Yicheng asked Yan Siming, the head of the investment team that followed him to Shanghai, to serve as CEO.
Lin Yicheng has been observing Yan Siming for a long time.
There are no problems with his professional ability, personal qualities, and character, so he is very suitable to be the CEO.
What's more, Lin Yicheng was there to give him instructions in person.
Lin Yicheng doesn't understand the technology, but even if he has eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.
In later generations, Lin Yicheng was familiar with the tricks and methods, advantages and disadvantages of the three major companies, BAT.
Lin Yicheng can come up with many ideas just by thinking about it.
According to the timing, slowly throw out these ideas. As long as you can be half a step ahead of others, it will be enough to gain the upper hand.
Moreover, Lin Yicheng also planned to invite General Zhao Feiyu to the company to work with him on technology and promotion.
This is called promoting the virtuous regardless of one’s relationship with the person.
By the way, General Zhao Feiyu is going to graduate this year.
It's time to change my position.
Merits should be rewarded. Although the position of "Grand Admiral of the Navy" is very cool, it is not the right path after all.
Lin Yicheng couldn't possibly let his younger brother do this all the time.
It is very appropriate to come to Xinghe Video.
Officially named "King of Pingyu"!
As for the navy under his command, he just needs to continue to operate them remotely.
Those people are elite backbones who have experienced many battles, so there is no need to worry about anything.
They have all developed the ability to stand on their own.
Moreover, Zhao Feiyu had followed Lin Yicheng's instructions and made friends with many top IT students in his own school and other universities.
These people will become the new team of him, the "King of Pingyu" in the future.
Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.
Lin Yicheng believes that his younger brother will achieve great things and accomplish great things after coming to PPS!
-
Afterwards, Lin Yicheng contacted the American venture capital firm that had initially invested in Galaxy Video.
It only cost a small amount of money to kick them out.
The reason why it was so easy was that Lin Yicheng had the leverage over them.
These foreign venture capital firms will behave themselves in their own countries and will not dare to make any mistakes, whether in terms of taxation or operations.
After all, the American IRS has real tanks and armies at its disposal.
But after these people came to China, they became much more unbridled.
Lin Yicheng grasped their weak points through Brother Xu's relationship.
Of course, there is no need to be polite to these foreigners.
Lin Yicheng also gave different responses to United Venture Capital and Qiming Venture Partners.
Let’s talk about Lianchuang Ceyuan first. The company’s strength is very limited, with a registered capital of only 385 million US dollars.
The net worth of the company's boss Feng Bo is probably not even a fraction of Lin Yicheng's.
After Lin Yicheng offered a suitable price, he successfully persuaded Feng Bo to withdraw and bought his shares in Xinghe Video.
At this point, Lin Yicheng already holds 88% of the shares.
Qiming Venture Partners holds the remaining 12%, and Lin Yicheng plans to continue working with them.
The Internet is too expensive, and Lin Yicheng doesn’t have that much cash to spend on it.
Qiming Venture Partners has strong financial resources.
When Lin Yicheng goes to the radio and television bureau, obtains the license, and then broadcasts the Olympic Games live, the valuation of Galaxy Video will see a surge.
At that time, if Qiming Venture Partners wants to continue to follow up, it will have to continue to invest money.
Lin Yicheng also planned to let Xiao Ma Ge participate in the investment when he went to Shenzhen Stock Exchange to meet Xiao Ma Ge.
Tencent's traffic and channels can provide great supplement to Galaxy Video.
-
Since he was in the Magic City, Lin Yicheng went to Tangren as well.
When he arrived in front of the building where Tangren was located, Lin Yicheng felt a little touched.
In his previous life, when he was working hard, he dreamed of joining a company like this, getting a position, and living a worry-free life.
Now, half of this small white building belongs to him.
Not to mention, he already owns Galaxy Films, Galaxy Cinemas, and Galaxy Video.
At this point, "Galaxy" has become a force to be reckoned with in the circle and has become a powerful lord.
The great princes are eyeing the leading position and will launch an attack on the throne in the future!
Cai Yinong, who got the news that the big boss was coming to inspect, naturally did not dare to neglect it and waited at the door in person.
Not only her, but behind her, there are also Tangren’s employees and artists.
Lin Yicheng is very familiar with those artists.
Sun Li, who once "drank" with me.
She is still young and has not yet evolved from "Little Liu Yifei" into Liu Shishi, one of the "Great Poets of the Tang Dynasty".
Hu Ge had just recovered and his appearance had changed slightly.
Lin Gengxin, who had not yet followed Mr. Wang and become a "Lin Dog".
Yuan Hong, who always plays a supporting role to his good brother Hu Ge.
And Jiang Jinfu, who has not yet been awarded the title of "East Asian Powerful Man".
Lin Yicheng did not have much communication with these people.
Just nod and say hello.
Not people of the same level.
Moreover, Lin Yicheng basically doesn't ask them to shoot his own dramas.
I don’t have that ability!
After entering Cai Yinong's office, Lin Yicheng did not sit in the boss's seat that Cai Yinong had given up.
There's no need to show off your status like this, it's too low-class.
Cai Yinong reported to Lin Yicheng about the shooting and preparation of some film and television dramas. Lin Yicheng did not speak, but just listened quietly.
After she finished speaking, Lin Yicheng spoke.
"I won't interfere with the ones that have already been filmed. If you encounter any problems during the broadcast, please contact Liu Mingjun. He will help you get through to the TV stations, including Mango, Beijing, Tomato and Blueberry, which are the first-tier TV stations."
"Also, don't prepare for the projects you just mentioned, such as "Following the Red-topped White Three Yuans", "The Weaver Girl at the End of the World" and "The Strange Hero Yizhimei". They are not good projects. There is no need to waste money, time, manpower and material resources."
Seeing that Cai Yinong wanted to speak, Lin Yicheng waved his hand to interrupt.
"I told you last time that I would provide you with projects and scripts in the future. I will send them to you after I return to Beijing. You should prepare first, and you can start filming after Lin Yufen finishes the project she is working on."
What Lin Yicheng provided was nothing else but "Startling by Each Step".
It is reasonable to let them shoot the drama, which was originally produced by Tangren.
Xinghe Film and Television will not shoot this kind of drama.
Too cheap.
The reason why Lin Yicheng asked Tangren to shoot in advance was that he was worried that the bad things from his previous life would happen again.
Although Lin Yicheng has now become a major shareholder of Tangren, Yu Zheng may not dare to do it the same way he did in his previous life.
But we must always be on guard against others. Everyone knows that Yu Zheng's bottom line is unfathomable.
-
The copyright of "Startling by Each Step" was bought together with the original when Lin Yicheng made a large purchase from those novel websites last time.
There is no other reason for choosing it, it can promote people and make money.
No matter whether they are Tangren’s own artists, or artists from Star Culture and 18 Culture, as long as the conditions are right, they can come to perform.
There is no need for Wanwan’s out-of-date artists at all.
Moreover, Lin Yicheng also changed the script.
It is no longer a pigtail drama, no longer a "Nine Dragons Fighting for the Throne".
He changed the time background to the Ming Dynasty.
The story is about the struggle for the throne among the three sons of Emperor Yongle.
This battle for the throne was very exciting and thrilling, and was no less exciting than the "Nine Dragon Battle for the Throne".
It is totally worthy of the four words "startling step by step".
Although they are all crappy plots about time travel and sending B.
But giving it to the Han people is better than giving it to the barbarians, right?
Speaking of which, the plot of this drama is far from Tong Hua's original work.
If they weren't worried about being scammed, getting into copyright disputes, or even getting into fistfights.
Lin Yicheng doesn't even need to buy the copyright for this play.
As for Tonghua’s “Song of the Desert” and “Song in the Clouds”, Lin Yicheng did not buy them.
After all, Tonghua’s view of history is hard to describe in a few words.
-
Hearing this, Cai Yinong's face lit up with joy.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, I'll listen to you." Cai Yinong said obediently.
The last time they drank, she was conquered by Lin Yicheng.
I developed a sense of admiration for Lin Yicheng.
What's more, who in the circle doesn't know that Lin Yicheng has a good vision?
Since his debut till now, no matter whether he shot it himself or invested in the project, there has not been a single one that failed!
This is the Midas Touch!
"Also, I see that there are some people from Hong Kong and Taiwan among the company's employees. You must strictly screen these people. If there are problems or those with incorrect positions, you should clear them out. You must not be lenient."
Although problems occur with the staff behind the scenes, they generally do not affect the film and television work.
For example, in the previous life, two directors named Zhang were both imprisoned for taking drugs. After they were released, they were still able to make movies, and the movies were still released!
But Lin Yicheng still needs to take precautions.
There are too many interactions between the two sides, both behind the scenes and in front of the stage.
Who knows whether their thoughts and stance will be transmitted to others?
We can’t let a single bad apple spoil the whole barrel!
"I understand." Cai Yinong nodded heavily.
Tang Ren has suffered losses in this regard and she has learned her lesson.
-
"Oh, and I acquired a video website called 'Galaxy Video'. You can contact this person later." As he spoke, Lin Yicheng gave Cai Yinong the contact information of Yan Siming.
“Regardless of whether the online copyrights of Tangren’s dramas have been sold or not, they will be sold to Xinghe Video. The price is the market price.”
The copyright of film and television dramas is very confusing now.
There are countless cases of multiple sales of the same drama and piracy.
Tangren’s already sold dramas can also be found everywhere on pirated websites.
There are a lot of things going on here.
Taking advantage of this chaotic period, Lin Yicheng naturally wanted to collect the copyrights of Tangren dramas.
Lin Yicheng also plans to let Zhou Chenggong and Liu Mingjun negotiate the copyright of domestic film and television dramas.
China Film Group, Qingdao Film Group and Bona Film Group, these are not problems.
As for the remaining companies that do not have a good relationship with Lin Yicheng, it is not difficult either.
They are all running businesses. Since Lin Yicheng is giving them money, they certainly won't refuse the extra income.
Even if these companies offer a higher price, Lin Yicheng doesn't mind.
Just set the copyright term long enough.
The current copyright price is really no different from the price of cabbage.
Now is a good time to buy at the bottom.
Not only that, he also plans to send someone abroad in the near future.
We also made large purchases of the copyrights of some Korean idol dramas, Japanese anime, and European and American film and television dramas.
Used to enrich the content and film library of Xinghe Video.
If nothing unexpected happens, Accountant Jia will do the same thing next year.
Of course Lin Yicheng had to be one step ahead of him.
-
After hearing what Lin Yicheng said, Cai Yinong was overjoyed.
Lin Yicheng has now fulfilled all the conditions he promised her.
She certainly didn't choose the wrong person and didn't cling to the wrong person.
Wang Yi is not in the company.
Cai Yinong pursed her lips and moved closer to Lin Yicheng.
"Sun Li happens to be here too. Would you like us sisters to have a few more drinks with you today?"
As she spoke, Cai Yinong's hand reached out towards somewhere on Lin Yicheng.
"Pay attention to the impact, what are you doing?" Lin Yicheng stopped him directly and said righteously.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I won't drink the wine." Lin Yicheng paused and said, "Also, don't do this kind of messy thing like sending tea or wine to others in the company anymore."
"If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, come to me. If I can't solve it, can you solve it by sending tea and wine?"
"If you tell others, will the company's image be ruined? How will others evaluate you and the company?"
At this moment, Lin Yicheng seemed to be emitting the light of righteousness!
After hearing what Lin Yicheng said, Cai Yinong's expression was very interesting.
Embarrassment, shyness, anger, complaints...
However, she is not an ordinary person after all. She is a strong woman after all, and she quickly adjusted her mentality.
"Don't worry, I won't do this again in the future." Cai Yinong replied in a low voice.
She knew in her heart that from now on, the relationship between her and Lin Yicheng would be simply that of partners.
Let the past events be quietly buried by time.
-
The video website was acquired and Tangren’s affairs were also dealt with.
Lin Yicheng did not stay in the Magic City for long and returned to the capital on the same day.
It was already evening when I arrived at the company.
As soon as Lin Yicheng entered the company, he saw the receptionist jogging towards him.
"Boss Lin, you're finally back. Something happened in the company!"
Lin Yicheng was stunned.
How come he didn’t know that something happened in the company?
Zhou Chenggong, Liu Mingjun and Li Yuefang did not report to him!
"What happened?" Lin Yicheng asked hurriedly with a serious expression.
"Oh, oh, it's no big deal." The lady at the front desk was startled by Lin Yicheng's expression.
It was the first time she saw her idol with this expression.
She also woke up with a start.
It was a rare opportunity to report to her idol alone, and this excitement caused some problems in her expression just now.
The lady at the front desk quickly explained, "A woman came to the company. Because you were not here and she didn't have an appointment, I asked her to go back first. But she refused to leave! She has been here for more than an hour!"
"I originally wanted to ask the security guards to ask her to leave, but she is a woman and has some fame. I was afraid that if she made a scene, it would have a bad impact on the company."
"Sister Yuefang is trying to persuade her in the conference room now."
After hearing these words, Lin Yicheng felt relieved.
"Who is it? Director, screenwriter or actor?" Lin Yicheng asked.
Especially in the past two years, there have been too many people who have come to Xinghe Film and Television Company to recommend themselves.
The key point is that these people are almost all unqualified.
With a crappy script, it costs millions or even tens of millions to open the door.
He also boasted a lot about how popular the drama would be and how much money it would make.
It's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be driven away.
At the beginning, Lin Yicheng was eager to seek talents, thinking that he could pan for gold in the desert, and was willing to meet these people.
If you see too much, you will naturally become impatient.
From now on, just let those who come to us take the initiative to leave their scripts and projects.
As for me, I will make a decision after Lin Yicheng has read the script and the project and confirms that it is valuable.
-
"Neither." The lady at the front desk shook her head repeatedly and then said, "It's someone's mother, Liu Mouli."
"Is it her?" Lin Yicheng couldn't help but frowned.
Lin Yicheng is well-known to this person, both in his past life and in this life.
I don't know what she is doing.
After all, this is Huayuwen, which is ever-changing, but Liu Mouli remains forever!
"Do you know why she came here?"
Lin Yicheng didn't want to see Liu Mouli at all.
What's there to see?
Lin Yicheng didn't care about either her or her daughter.
I wish I could stay away from it!
"She refuses to talk and insists on seeing you, otherwise she won't leave." said the lady at the front desk.
Lin Yicheng's brows furrowed even deeper.
Lin Yicheng was very clear about the current situation of this person's daughter.
"The Forbidden Kingdom", with a total investment of 7000 million US dollars, or more than 4 million RMB, flopped.
In the previous life, the domestic box office of this movie was 1.85 million, and the North American box office was 5200 million.
It was a complete mess.
Nowadays, Jet Li's reputation has been damaged because of the "The Warlords" incident.
Despite all kinds of publicity under the banner of charity, unfortunately, the final box office of "The Forbidden Kingdom" was barely over 100 million.
Liu Mouli's daughter accepted the olive branch from Huayi and took all the benefits.
As a result, he changed his mind and decided not to join Huayi!
So, the big and small kings were angry!
In the past, it was always these two brothers who played tricks on others.
Unexpectedly, after hunting geese for many years, this time his eyes were pecked blind by a goose.
The two brothers were fooled by the mother and daughter!
The two brothers were so furious that they naturally couldn't let them go.
So, rumors like "transgender" appeared.
-
Speaking of this, Lin Yicheng wondered if there was something wrong with the brains of both Wang Da and Wang Xiao.
If you want to smear me, then go ahead, no one is stopping you.
The key is whether you know how to cooperate?
Two years ago, Cai Yinong just smeared "abortion" and other things.
Now, look what happens: another “transgender person” has emerged.
Is not this contradictory?
How can this be credible?
As a result, I was taken advantage of by others.
It is easy to prove one's innocence by using these two completely different rumors.
The two brothers from Huayi are complete idiots.
Incompetent bungler!--
With the failure of "The Forbidden Kingdom", Liu Mouli's daughter's road to Hollywood was over.
Don't say she's not a pure American.
Even if it's a genuine American, if the box office fails and the statistics are not good, Hollywood will not use it.
Now, Godfather Chen has committed crime again and can’t save himself.
Having offended the Tang people before, I have offended the Shanghai circle.
Now he has offended Huayi and cut himself off from the Beijing circle.
As for the Northwestern circle that values one's origin, it is even more xenophobic and looks down upon these mother and daughter.
In their previous life, it was under such circumstances that the mother and daughter had nowhere else to go and had to move south to Hong Kong.
There was a farce of the Guo army in 49.
Nowadays, people in the Hong Kong circle can hardly survive, so this path is even more impossible to follow.
So, finding a new partner became the best option for the mother and daughter.
Looking through the entertainment industry and among all the lords, are there any thighs thicker and more suitable than Lin Yicheng's?
Not to mention, Lin Yicheng and this person's daughter are classmates, so there is naturally a sense of kinship between them.
It is estimated that in Liu Mouli's view, out of this affection, Lin Yicheng would help her and her mother.
After all, in her heart, her daughter's fame and commercial value are invincible! ——
Lin Yicheng quickly figured out all the connections and possibilities.
"I'm going home first. Remember, I haven't been to the company today." Lin Yicheng said.
"Oh, okay, I haven't seen you today." The receptionist nodded quickly in agreement.
"In addition, since you just exaggerated the military situation, you have to be punished." Lin Yicheng's expression seemed serious.
"Ah?" The lady at the front desk suddenly looked sad.
She had fought hard to win this position, which allowed her to get close to her idol.
If she were fired, she would regret it and be sad to death.
"Well, how about this, tomorrow you treat everyone in the company to a cup of milk tea or something. Learn from your mistakes and don't be so rash in the future." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.
He knew the family background of the receptionist.
This is a wealthy woman who drives a BMW to work.
"Oh, I understand. I won't make the same mistake again." The lady at the front desk nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Not to mention just treating her for a cup of milk tea, even if she treated him for a whole month, this amount of money would be nothing but a drop in the bucket for her.
"As for that person, if she wants to wait, it's up to her. Okay, I'm leaving now."
After saying that, Lin Yicheng turned around and left the company.
He really didn't want to have anything to do with these two mother and daughter.
Otherwise, it is very likely that news will be fabricated in the future.
[XXX is the woman that Lin Yicheng loves but cannot have! ]
