Chapter 270 Since I am not allowed to eat meat, don’t blame me for going out to hunt for food
Since he was going to shoot the drama "Cang Lan Jue" himself, Lin Yicheng of course had to think about it carefully.
There's really not much to say about the plot of this drama.
This tactic has become a common practice in later generations.
Even now, it is not new.
Directed by Lin Yicheng, starring Fan Xiaopang.
Still a lesbian.
There is naturally no problem with publicity, gimmicks, and popularity.
The key is quality.
There are mainly two aspects.
Special effects and costumes.
In later times, it was said that the special effects alone of this film had hit four small goals.
Although we don’t need so much now, it still costs a lot to achieve the desired effect.
Especially when Lin Yicheng doesn’t have a special effects company.
We can only ask Huang Chunrong from South Korea for help and borrow a special effects team.
Of course, it would be a matter of course to take the opportunity to send a few people over and steal some skills.
Reserve talents in advance for the future.
-
When it comes to costumes and props, Xinghe Film and Television Company is quite strong.
Lin Yicheng has always had very high requirements in this regard and has laid a solid foundation long ago.
As long as Lin Yicheng makes a request, these people can do it.
It's nothing more than spending money.
Lin Yicheng made a rough estimate.
He wanted to film "Cang Lan Jue" perfectly and present the effect he wanted.
If we don’t count the actors’ salaries, it would cost tens of millions, or even a small goal.
This amount of investment is probably the first of its kind in a domestic TV series.
It is basically impossible to make back the investment through the first round of broadcasting fees.
Even if we add two or three rounds, it’s still not enough.
But Lin Yicheng didn't care.
Given his current situation, what matters to him is not how much money the show itself can make.
But something else.
For Yu Gong, he mainly plans to export this drama overseas.
Why don't you show some real skills.
How can we suppress the people of those small states?
Especially the self-righteous sticks and days.
Speaking privately.
This drama can make Da Tiantian famous.
It can also help Fan Xiaopang's fame to reach a higher level.
As Fan Xiaopang is the only spokesperson for the HL brand, the more popular she becomes, the higher the sales of the HL brand will be.
By the way, a few actors from Star Culture, 18 Culture or Tangren can be included.
In addition, this drama can further expand the brand effect of "Galaxy".
Nowadays, the special effects of domestic TV dramas, such as mythological dramas, are quite cheap.
The "Cang Lan Jue" which cost a huge amount of money is a dimensionality reduction attack on them.
After watching "Cang Lan Jue", when watching other domestic dramas, the audience will naturally be able to easily distinguish who is working hard on the work and who is fooling the audience.
This will bring many benefits to both Galaxy Film and Television Company itself and Galaxy Video.
-
On August 8, the Olympics had not yet ended.
"Crazy Racing", which has been released for 35 days, has been completely taken off the screen.
The total box office figures are pretty good.
Just over 1.6 million.
It is 6000 million more than Ning Hao’s version in the previous life.
At this point, Yang Qing jumped up and became another member of the "billion-dollar director club" after Lin Yicheng, Zhang Yimou, director Kaige, Zhou Xingchi, and Feng Kuzi.
One of only six.
Yang Qing suddenly became the object of envy of everyone in the circle.
Especially the directors, their eyes were red.
Why?
A young man who had only acted in two movies achieved the results that they had been looking up to and longing for all their lives.
Who can keep balance?
Who wouldn't want to take that place?
Especially those young directors, they have their own plans in mind.
If I also join Lin Yicheng, would I be the second Yang Qing?
So, all of a sudden, all kinds of resumes, scripts, project plans, etc. flew into Galaxy Film and Television Company like snowflakes.
-
8 month 21 day.
The crew of "Crazy Racing" held a celebration banquet at a hotel in Beijing.
Smashing ice.
If it were Lin Yicheng's movie, he wouldn't be too lazy to do this.
For example, the last time "How a Bad Movie is Made" was not a failure.
The reason for smashing the ice this time was, firstly, to boost Uncle Han's momentum, and secondly, to give face to Yang Qing. This was his first time joining the "Billion-dollar Director Club", so there needed to be a sense of ceremony.
Uncle Han and Fatty Yu were both present in person.
Corresponding media reporters were also invited.
It’s 8 o’clock in the evening, the auspicious time has arrived.
Witnessed by cameras and video cameras, Lin Yicheng, Uncle Han and Fatty Yu as producers, director Yang Qing and lead actor Huang Bo, five people went on stage and knocked down the small hammer in their hands together.
The ice sculpture with the number “160000000” also shattered.
After the ice was broken, all that was left was eating, drinking and socializing.
Since it was a celebration party, it was inevitable that some directors and celebrities in the circle would come to join in the fun.
For example, Brother Xiao Ming.
By the way, Brother Xiao Ming is really a wonderful person.
Whenever there is a premiere of Lin Yicheng’s movies, no matter if Xiao Ming is invited or not, people always come to show their support enthusiastically.
Brother Xiao Ming attended all of the celebration banquets held by Xinghe Film and Television Company.
The main focus is to give face and be popular.
-
Lin Yicheng had just dealt with a director who wanted to recommend himself when Brother Xiao Ming came over.
"Director Lin, congratulations, another successful film. I went to the cinema to watch it a while ago. It was a very interesting film and I laughed for most of the day."
Brother Xiao Ming had a decent smile on his face.
Not evil at all, not domineering at all.
"Thank you for your support. I have also watched your dramas. They are all good. For example, I think "The Emperor of Han Dynasty" is very good."
Lin Yicheng also praised him a little.
He didn't mention "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Deer and the Cauldron".
Brother Xiao Ming’s performance in these two dramas is really hard to describe.
"After acting in so many works, the most recognized one is still 'The Emperor of Han Dynasty.'" Brother Xiao Ming had a bitter smile on his face.
"It's not easy for an actor to encounter a role that will be remembered," said Lin Yicheng.
"Director Lin, if you have a role suitable for me in the future, could you consider me? I don't need any pay." Brother Xiao Ming said sincerely.
"Well, I'll look for you if there's a chance." Lin Yicheng nodded.
This is not perfunctory.
To be honest, Lin Yicheng has a good impression of Brother Xiao Ming.
Never mind how many bad movies they make.
His popularity and reputation in the circle are absolutely amazing, no doubt about it.
If anyone comes to him for help or needs a favor, Brother Xiao Ming will usually agree without hesitation.
-
By the way, Lin Yicheng admires two male actors the most in his life.
It's not like Mr. Li Xuejian or Chen Daoming.
But it’s Brother Xiao Ming and Brother Enjun.
Does Brother Xiao Ming have acting skills?
Of course!
He can get along with everyone on equal terms. No one else can do this except him.
In front of senior actors and actresses, he always manages to hold his own and never steal the show, which makes the senior actors feel gratified that there is someone to succeed him.
In front of peers, I can maintain the same level as others without putting pressure on others, making my peers full of confidence and feeling that they have a bright future.
Apart from Brother Xiao Ming, who else can express the four words "human relations and worldly affairs" so freely and naturally through acting?
Among the projects that Lin Yicheng has, there is indeed a role suitable for Brother Xiao Ming.
Of course, he is not asked to play the role of a domineering president.
Rather, they are the kind of middle-aged people who were once successful but became down and out in middle age, impoverished, and have experienced unhappy marriages.
There will be absolutely no problem letting Brother Xiao Ming play this kind of role.
As for Brother Enjun, there is no need to mention him.
Everyone knows that being an actor is a profession that requires a sense of belief.
When it comes to "sense of belief", no one in the circle can match Brother Enjun.
Back then, when facing "Auntie Ximen", the "Roaring Emperor" Ma Jingtao would rather pay the penalty than run away.
Only Brother Enjun, he really comes forward when there is something going on!
People can fall in love with "human characters" like "Auntie Ximen" and love them to death.
That drama didn't give Eunjun a TV King trophy. The judges were really blind! It's not fair!
And Brother Eunjun has a very nice butt.
He started by saying, "My name is Jiao Enjun, I'm from Shandong, and I welcome everyone to Qingdao to drink beer and eat clams."
When talking about "Wanwan", he always says "Wanwan Province".
Every October 1st National Day, he would hang the five-star red flag.
It is precisely because of his clear stance that Brother Enjun is often severely criticized by Taiwanese media.
Even many of the TV dramas he starred in were taken off the shelves locally, and even the shots of him appearing on variety shows were censored.
Even so, Brother Enjun did not change his position, and he always spoke up without hesitation when it was time to do so.
It is a hundred times better than those artists who always pretend to be dead or express their opinions reluctantly.
If there is a chance, Lin Yicheng really wants to work with him.
-
Brother Xiao Ming chatted with Lin Yicheng for a few more words, and then saw Uncle Han coming over. After greeting Uncle Han, he immediately said goodbye tactfully.
"When did you join the crew of "Founding of a Republic"? " Uncle Han asked about this.
"Wait until I'm done with this period of time." Lin Yicheng said, "How is the crew's progress now?"
It is said that ever since he pushed the role of director Kai Ge to Uncle Han and raised the issue of the actors' nationality to him, Lin Yicheng no longer paid any attention to this movie.
After all, this isn't his movie.
"We've only shot a few shots, and the progress is very slow. Kaige is too serious, and many places have to be shot over and over again." Uncle Han sighed.
Fortunately, the actors basically didn't spend any money on film remuneration, so there was plenty of money.
Otherwise, I might not be able to withstand the torment from director Kaige.
"It's a tribute film, so it's a good thing to be serious about it. Director Kaige must be holding a grudge in his heart." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.
"That's right." Uncle Han also laughed.
The opening ceremony of the Olympics has passed.
Lao Mouzi delivered a satisfactory answer to the world. The name of "National Master" resounded throughout the world.
The little brother who used to follow me around, struggling to carry a camera, suddenly became more awesome than me.
In this situation, how could Director Kaige be relieved?
"By the way, which role do you want to play? As long as the age and appearance are suitable, you can choose any one." Uncle Han asked.
"I haven't thought about this yet." Lin Yicheng shook his head.
In fact, Lin Yicheng most wanted to play the role of "the wise prime minister of all ages".
Unfortunately, this role has a special actor.
Other people's images are more suitable and more similar to his.
"How about you play the role of Jiang Da? Kaige has tried many people but couldn't find a satisfactory candidate. He is having a headache. He will definitely be happy if you play the role." Uncle Han suggested.
"Me? No. I don't like people from that family." Lin Yicheng refused directly.
Just kidding.
He is Miao Zheng and Hong's son.
His grandfather had fought the Guo army with real guns and swords.
How could he possibly play Jiang Da?
In the previous life, this role was played by Chen Kun.
Lin Yicheng has a very bad impression of this person.
This guy is really not a good guy.
"How about Zhu Yawen? He's the martial artist from Crossing the Guandong." Lin Yicheng directly pushed out Zhu Yawen from Star Culture.
Zhu Yawen worked with him in "Hello, Old Times" and later starred in hit dramas such as "Crossing the Guandong".
In terms of fame, it is enough.
"Okay, let him go for an audition later." Uncle Han nodded and agreed.
It's called an audition, but it's nothing more than going to the crew, putting on makeup, saying a few lines, and going through the process.
The role has been decided to go to Zhu Yawen.
Of course he had to give face to his eldest nephew.
-
Some time ago, something happened at China Film Corporation.
A fire broke out in a warehouse due to poor storage.
Along with the negatives of "Red Cliff", several reels of old movies were burned to ashes.
It's completely beyond repair.
"Red Cliff" can never be released again.
Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Apart from the huge loss of "Red Cliff", the other old movies did not suffer any loss at all.
The cause of the accident was quickly identified.
An employee made an operational error.
Then, those who should be expelled will be expelled, and those who should be punished will be punished.
In addition, a deputy speaker named La was also transferred from his post.
From then on, his path to progress was completely cut off.
Uncle Han’s internal crisis and threats were also completely resolved.
However, the uncle and nephew were in tacit agreement and neither of them talked about this matter.
After all, what does this have to do with them?
-
After most of the guests had left, Yang Qing, as the protagonist of the celebration banquet, had time to come to Lin Yicheng.
"How do you feel?" Lin Yicheng asked with a smile.
"I'm tired. Damn tired. My face is almost stiff from smiling." Yang Qing stretched out his hand and pulled his face.
"You'll get used to it. I was the same at the beginning." Lin Yicheng laughed.
When "Crazy Stone" was celebrated that year, he was not much better than Yang Qing.
However, my status and position have improved now.
There are so many people that Lin Yicheng doesn't need to flatter them.
Working so hard, what for?
Isn’t it just so that you don’t have to pretend to be a grandson?
Isn't it just so that when you see someone you don't want to deal with, you can ignore him or her as you wish?
"Well, it's easier to film a movie. No need to pretend. I can wear whatever I want. You don't know that I feel uncomfortable wearing this suit."
As Yang Qing spoke, he pulled off the tie around his neck, rolled it up and put it in his pocket.
That ruffian spirit returned.
"I didn't ask you to wear it, you're just making things difficult for yourself."
"This is my first time breaking ice, so I'd like to wear a suit to look more formal." Yang Qing said, unbuttoning his shirt.
The skull pendant around her neck was revealed.
-
"Let me tell you, this suit is just so-so. Only those without fame and power can understand the saying 'clothes make the man'. You are already successful and famous now, so don't worry about it. Even if you wear a big vest and flip-flops, people will still praise you for your 'genuine nature' and 'fashion'!"
"Indeed."
Yang Qing nodded first, then said: "Just now, someone slipped me a note and asked me to meet him in the evening."
"Huh?" Lin Yicheng was puzzled.
"Look." Yang Qing took out a piece of paper from his pocket and pushed it in front of Lin Yicheng.
Lin Yicheng opened it and saw a sentence on it.
[At 11pm, Jufangzhai is here to honor you. Please come and visit us. We are not going to name you.]
Lin Yicheng's eyes narrowed.
"Who gave it to you?"
"Waiter, when you serve me the wine, put it under the glass."
"Who do you think it could be?"
"How should I know? But he's acting sneaky and I can tell at a glance that he's not from a decent background, so I don't bother to pay attention to him." Yang Qing grinned, looking a little disdainful.
"Haha, interesting." Lin Yicheng also laughed.
Yang Qing wasn't a beauty, and she certainly didn't invite him so late at night just to lust after him.
What else could it be for?
This is one of the “100 million yuan club directors”!
Lin Yicheng kept this matter in mind.
He was trying to steal his girlfriend, and he used such despicable means.
Of course he had to check it out carefully.
Let’s see who is the smart one.
"Okay, don't worry about this for now." Lin Yicheng said.
"Okay, I won't worry about it. Anyway, I feel comfortable following you, and I don't plan to move away in the future. In the beginning, everyone looked down on me and treated me as a gangster. Now that I'm successful, you're playing tricks on me again. What should I have done before? Pah!"
Yang Qing spat on the ground.
He is a completely different person from Ning Hao.
He has no ambition, he just wants to make movies.
He was also very satisfied with the treatment given to him by Lin Yicheng.
Not to mention, Lin Yicheng was kind enough to help him.
-
"By the way, how long do you plan to rest? I have a notebook that's suitable for you." Lin Yicheng asked.
"Another book?" Yang Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and then waved his hand, "No need to rest, get the book, I will start preparing immediately."
"Okay, come to the company to see me tomorrow and I'll give you the notebook."
"Can you tell me the content now? Otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight." Yang Qing asked impatiently.
"It's basically a story about a broken heart. A petty bourgeois woman named Huang Xiaoxian discovers that her boyfriend of seven years is having an affair with her best friend. She's frustrated with her relationship and has all kinds of pressure at work."
Hearing Lin Yicheng say this, Yang Qing frowned.
This sounds like a romance, which doesn't seem to match his specialty, comedy.
However, he continued to listen patiently.
This is the project that Lin Yicheng pushed to him!
The project that Lin Yicheng pushed to him last time directly pushed him into the "billion-yuan club"!
"During this time when Huang Xiaoxian was without love, she discovered many things that she would never have noticed before. For example, the sissy colleague Wang Xiaojian who always confronted her was not that annoying after all. For example, what was the principle behind the marriage between a rich bachelor and a Henan woman with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent. And also the secret of how to get to a golden wedding anniversary."
"After she understood everything, that is, on the 33rd day after her breakup, in that dimly lit city, she discovered that 'that person' had actually been with her all along. Well, that's basically it."
"Is this a comedy?" Yang Qing asked.
"A light romantic comedy. To put it bluntly, it's one of those foreign 'chick flicks'. How about it? Do you want to take it?"
"If you think I'm suitable, I'll take it." Yang Qing nodded.
"That's it."
The film that Lin Yicheng was going to let Yang Qing shoot was "Love Is Not Blind", starring Bai Baihe and Wen Zhang in his previous life, and directed by Teng Huatao, the director of the famous science fiction film "The Fortress at the Sea".
-
Originally, Lin Yicheng had prepared other scripts.
For example, "The Golden Age" and "Lost in Thailand".
After consideration, neither seems to be a good fit.
The quality of the drama "The Great Gold Robbery" is very average.
In the previous life, this was invested by a coal boss and filmed by Ning Hao.
A typical money-rolling project.
Unless the script is changed, not only will the box office not be very high, it will also damage the reputation of "Galaxy's productions must be high-quality."
Lin Yicheng didn't want to waste time, so he simply ruled it out.
"Lost in Thailand" cannot be filmed so early.
"Lost on Journey" has not been released yet, the timing is not right.
Furthermore, the cinema chain has not yet exploded, and third- and fourth-tier cities are not yet box office strongholds.
We can't waste this movie that has grossed over 12 billion yuan.
The more suitable one is "Love Is Not Blind".
Small investment, short cycle and quick payback.
This movie only earned 3.5 million at the box office in its previous life.
Now that the film is being shot in advance, it doesn’t matter if we don’t get 3.5 million.
As long as the marketing and promotion are in place, there will be no problem in making big profits at the box office.
There is no need to wait for the original novel to appear, Lin Yicheng can write the script himself.
What's more, without this drama, Director Teng might just focus on filming his TV series and would not do something earth-shattering like "welding the door of domestic science fiction films shut".
Without "Love Is Not Blind", Bai Baihe's road to fame would probably be cut short, and there might be no "One Finger Zen" in the future.
Lin Yicheng felt that he had done a good thing.
Made outstanding contributions to the entertainment industry.
-
As for who will play this role, Lin Yicheng already has a suitable candidate in mind.
Wang Kai, the “discarded general of Huayi” who had previously signed with Star Culture Company.
Lin Yicheng was deeply impressed by the sissy role he played in "Ugly Betty".
Always raise your orchid finger, walk with your chest and waist raised, and raise your voice an octave...
It is absolutely perfect to let Wang Kai play Wang Xiaojian.
As for the heroine.
Of course it’s Teacher Gao Yuanyuan!
Speaking of which, when it comes to experience in dealing with "broken love", I guess no one in the circle has more experience than Teacher Gao Yuanyuan.
After all, this is "Senior Gao"!
Having "Sister Gao San" play Huang Xiaoxian is completely a true portrayal of herself.
What's more, Teacher Gao Yuanyuan had listened to Lin Yicheng's advice and turned down the role of Lu Tailang.
It is reasonable for Lin Yicheng to compensate others.
Of course, Lin Yicheng has another idea that he doesn’t want to tell outsiders.
After the last family meeting, both Fan Xiaopang and Jing Tian were avoiding him.
We failed to sleep together in the same quilt, and now we can’t even eat meat!
This is simply unreasonable!
Since you don't let me eat meat, don't blame me for going out to find food by myself!
Lin Yicheng has not forgotten the piece of fat meat called Da Meiyu.
Besides, she has long wished that Lin Yicheng could eat her up!
