Chapter 281: First hit a stick, then give a sweet date (ask for monthly ticket)

With a plan in mind, Lin Yicheng called Zheng Jun over.

"Brother Jun, are your friends good at investigating cases?" Lin Yicheng asked.

Zheng Jun nodded silently.

"Well, ask them to help me find someone."

Lin Yicheng whispered the name and the content he wanted to check.

When Zheng Jun heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Zheng Jun knew the person that Lin Yicheng just mentioned.

Not only did he know it, but few people in the country, regardless of gender, age or status, did not know it.

Zheng Jun couldn't believe that such a well-known person would do such a thing...
-
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"Are you sure?" Zheng Jun spoke for the first time.

"I've heard rumors about this, but there's no evidence, so I need to check it out."

Lin Yicheng paused, then continued: "Also, tell your friends to be careful not to alert the enemy, otherwise it will be troublesome if they destroy the evidence in advance."

"This person's background is not simple. Not only does he have people from that circle behind him, he is also a member of the Illuminati."

Hearing Lin Yicheng's words, Zheng Jun narrowed his eyes.

As an elite trained by the state, he knew a lot about the Illuminati and had received special training on the relevant knowledge in the classroom.

This is a mysterious organization originating from Germany that has existed since the 18th century.

Although its stated goals are to promote human progress and world peace, in reality, it is an evil and dangerous organization.

The organization is elitist and exclusive, and only a few can join.

Its members need to be the world's top billionaires, powerful politicians, high-end talents in a certain industry, or famous celebrities...

These people come together and try to achieve various goals by manipulating political and social forces.

For example, as long as those celebrities join, they can enjoy the best resources.

And its members must abide by strict rules and rituals.

What's more demanding is that once a member joins, he is not allowed to withdraw unless he dies.

The organization will never let go of anyone who disobeys or even betrays them.

The mysterious deaths of Hollywood superstars Marilyn Monroe and Michael Jackson are closely related to this organization.

Zheng Jun's calm heart was now eager to try.

He likes this kind of difficult and challenging tasks.

If he didn't have to protect Lin Yicheng closely, he would have wanted to check it out himself.

Unfortunately, only old friends can benefit from it.
-
"There is enough time. We need to investigate slowly and carefully. We need to have witnesses, physical evidence, and everything else. We must get to the bottom of this matter and make sure the evidence is solid and that this case is ironclad."

"I understand." Zheng Jun nodded.

He knew that if this matter was really verified, it would definitely cause a huge storm.

Let’s not talk about other circles, just the entertainment industry is about to usher in a major earthquake.

"It's the same as before. I will fully support them in terms of funding. After the investigation is completed, I will also give them a bonus." Lin Yicheng offered a reward.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

We can’t let people’s efforts go in vain.

Lin Yicheng still felt a little regretful.

Not only is the man he just mentioned a member of the Illuminati.

A certain guy who looks like an ET alien, too!
Otherwise, how could he dare to create a "second Huangpu"? How could he dare to learn from those foreign financial groups and try to control the domestic...?
Unfortunately, Lin Yicheng can't touch him now.

The forces behind him are too complicated and too deeply involved.

Not to mention Lin Yicheng, even if the godfather himself stepped in, it wouldn't work.
-
"Brother Jun, you've followed me for so long, isn't it boring?" Lin Yicheng simply changed the subject and asked.

He saw the eagerness in Zheng Jun's eyes just now.

To be honest, it's a bit of a waste of talent to have such an elite following around me all the time.

At the beginning, he asked his godfather to come here just to provide a guarantee for his own safety.

I'm afraid that some madman will destroy him on impulse.

I don’t know if he is lucky, but nothing has happened to him in these years.

The only "assassination attempt" he ever had was one he directed and acted in himself.

Zheng Jun had no chance to take any action.

Of course, Lin Yicheng would definitely not let Zheng Jun leave.

This is a sharp sword that can not only protect yourself, but also kill enemies.

"Not bad." Zheng Jun uttered two words.

"How about being a stuntman or something in the crew? Or playing a supporting role like a killer or a master?" Lin Yicheng suggested.

He had seen Zheng Jun's skills.

The last time we were filming in Thailand, the martial arts instructor Kou Zhanwen wanted to compete with Zheng Jun.

Kou Zhanwen is a fellow apprentice of Jet Li and Wolf Warrior, and has won various championships of varying sizes.

He wanted to know whether people like him who studied traditional martial arts were more powerful, or elites like Zheng Jun who came out of the army were more powerful.

After much persuasion, Zheng Jun agreed.

Then there is no more then.

Kou Zhanwen was knocked down by Zheng's army in one move.

Kou Zhanwen was convinced and sincerely convinced.

He himself admitted that if Zheng Jun had not held back and reduced his strength, he would have had to stay in the hospital for a while.

He has previously sparred with Jet Li, Wolf Warrior and Kung Fu Dan.

The levels between them are pretty much the same.

When those people met Zheng's army, they were no match at all.

This is normal. One is a showpiece and the other is a military killing skill. There is no comparison at all.

If Zheng Jun were to play a killer, a master, or something like that, it would be absolutely suitable.

This is real kung fu!
-
After hearing this, Zheng Jun was silent at first, then looked at Lin Yicheng as if he was an idiot.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yicheng felt a little uncomfortable being looked at.

"Me, bodyguard." Zheng Jun slowly blurted out three words.

"Uh..." Lin Yicheng touched his nose awkwardly.

Which qualified bodyguard would show up in public and be in the public eye all day long?

After thinking about it, Lin Yicheng also felt that his proposal was unreliable.

Originally, he planned to support Zheng Jun if he was willing.

He was made into a martial arts star.

In their previous lives, Jet Li and Jackie Chan were both sick and very old.

There are only two and a half who can still carry the flag, Wolf Warrior Jing and Kung Fu Dan, and half of Zhang Jin.

Later on, there was a direct break in the relationship.

The new generation can't even put on fancy moves, let alone real kung fu.

Where is the time to learn?

It's hard and tiring.

Just use a stand-in or cutout.

This is indeed a loss for kung fu films.

Among Chinese-language TV dramas, the only ones that are popular around the world are kung fu films.

In the past, the reason why Kung Fu movies were getting worse and worse was closely related to the lack of talent.

Without this genre that can travel around the world, what is left for domestic entertainment?
In the movies, they are either comedies or youth idol dramas.

TV dramas, both modern and ancient idol dramas, are emerging one after another.

Circle of interest, self-entertainment.

Overseas export?

Output hair!

None of my business!

Everyone can live their own life behind closed doors and happily collect money from fans. How happy it is.

Lin Yicheng didn't want to see this kind of situation again. He had seen enough of it in his previous life, so he didn't want to be disgusted.

He wanted to pick up the weapon of kung fu movies, to develop new genres internally for Galaxy Film and Television Company, and to move beyond Asia and into Europe and the United States externally.
-
Since Zheng Jun is not suitable, Lin Yicheng can only find another way.

So he called Zong Shuai, Wang Jinghua and Cai Yinong respectively.

Let them notify all artists in the company, including existing ones or those who will join in the future.

Regardless of gender, anyone who wants to become a martial arts star can start practicing now.

It's enough if you can develop a fancy figure.

chances are for people who are prepared.

As long as there are people who are really willing to endure this hardship and suffering.

Lin Yicheng will definitely support the other party.

Xinghe Film and Television Company has projects, publicity and channels.

As long as he appears in a few movies, he can rise to the top in this era when there is a lack of young action stars.

Let’s not talk about whether she can become the new generation “Kung Fu Emperor” or “Kung Fu Queen” or something like that.

Just considering the scarcity of talent, those resources are enough to make them overwhelmed.
-
The next day, Lin Yicheng gave some instructions and asked Wang Liming and Li Muge to be responsible for shooting some less important scenes.

He himself returned to the capital.

Galaxy Film and Television Company, in the office.

Lin Yicheng looked at the document in his hand.

This is the list of movies that Gao Weimin faxed over that have been scheduled to be released during this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

There are both domestic and foreign ones.

Those Hollywood movies are not very famous.

Among the domestically produced ones, several caught Lin Yicheng's attention.

"Mei Lanfang", scheduled to be released on December 12, is the masterpiece of director Kai Ge.

Starring King Leon Lai and Zhang Ziyi.

"If You Are the One", a film starring Feng Kuzi, is scheduled to be released on December 12.

Starring Ge You and Shu Dazui.

The last time, "Assembly" encountered "How a Bad Movie Was Made", it ended up being a box office failure and suffered huge losses.

Although Feng Kuazi pushed part of the responsibility onto the two brothers of the Wang family, he still had some responsibility himself.

Huayi is going to be listed next year, so its performance report cannot be too bad.

So, Feng Kuazi made this film.

It's all about the box office.

It is to achieve performance for listing.

Seeing this, Lin Yicheng was happy.

Feng Sang, every reunion after a long separation is for a better meeting next time.

This is all monkey poop.

What else is there to say?

Lin Yicheng directly decided that "Taken" would also be released on December 12th.
-
He was not targeting Feng Kuzi. Actually, Feng Kuzi was an inspirational figure.

A perfect example of “Don’t despise the poor young people”.

Not only is he not good-looking, he also has a mouth full of buck teeth.

The key point is that he didn't come from the compound.

In the words of those "kids from the big compounds", they were born in the "hutongs and alleys".

Naturally, he was looked down upon by the "kids from the big compound".

As a result, he rose to power by flattering others and licking their asses.

Feng Kuazi, who struggled out of the mud, really made movies for the common people in the early days.

Film what ordinary people like to watch.

Unfortunately, after succeeding too many times, I became complacent.

The feet are off the ground.

It's out of touch with reality.

Then, the times abandon a person, and no one dares to even say hello to him.

Lin Yicheng could never match Feng Kuzi's ability to bend and stretch, and to endure humiliation and hardship, so he still had some admiration for Feng Kuzi.

Lin Yicheng arranged for "Taken" and "If You Are the One" to compete at the same time, also targeting Huayi, the company behind him.

Then there's no way.

Feng Pants can only suffer a little longer.

Anyway, he is used to suffering.

Maybe, after going through a few more hardships, he won't be so arrogant anymore.

I won’t curse the audience as “trash” anymore.

pretty good.
-
Most of the remaining movies on the list are Hong Kong films.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

There are still a few pounds of rotten iron in the broken ship.

Although many projects in the Hong Kong industry have been forced to be shelved or cancelled, there are still quite a few that have already been completed and are waiting to be released, or have been mostly completed.

This time, it’s all works by familiar faces.

For example, Xu Ke came out again, ready to regain his confidence, and directed "Women Are Not Bad".

Wolf Warrior is the first action film directed and acted by Beijing Wolf Warriors, Wolf Tooth.

The first film in the Ip Man series starring Kung Fu Dan.

Directed by Liu Weiqiang, the bad movie "The Dragon and the Phoenix" starring Liu Tianwang and Shu Dazui.

There is also Wong Pak-ming's remake of the old film, All's Well, Ends Well 2009.

At first glance, these movies all seem to be quite gimmicky and promising.

However, Lin Yicheng's evaluation of them is just one sentence.
Everyone here is garbage.

There is no one who can fight.

So, Lin Yicheng set the release date for "Lost on Journey".

2009 1 Month 20 Day.

It's one month different from "Taken", so it won't be affected much.

Moreover, that day was the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the atmosphere of the New Year was already there.

The story is set against the backdrop of the Spring Festival travel rush, and it is very appropriate to be set at this time.

Coincidentally, January 1th was also the release date of "Dragon Ballad", a film co-invested by Huayi and Media Asia.

One is the leader in Beijing circle, and the other is a strong competitor to the leader in Hong Kong circle.

Lin Yicheng was targeting them.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yicheng called Uncle Han and Fatty Yu.

Inform them of the release dates of both films.

Uncle Han and Fatty Yu had no objection to this.

According to Lin Yicheng's advice, we just need to do the corresponding publicity and distribution work.

On the phone, Lin Yicheng also told Fatty Yu about the coal boss.

Fatty Yu also agreed readily.

Willing to let the coal bosses take this ride.
-
Just as these things were finished, Li Yuefang knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, that Zhong Lifang is here again." Li Yuefang said.

"Really? Then let her come over." Lin Yicheng ordered.

After a while, Zhong Lifang was brought in.

As soon as she saw Lin Yicheng, she bowed subconsciously.

His waist was already half bent when Lin Yicheng interrupted him.

"Stop, there's no need to bow. Just give your answer."

"Boss Lin," Zhong Lifang straightened up, took a deep breath, and then said, "I have decided. I am willing to join your company."

"From now on, I will do whatever you ask me to do, without hesitation."

"I'll do whatever you find inconvenient."

"Some things that you are not comfortable saying, I will say them."

"I'm willing to do any dirty work, and I don't care about any insults."

"Please give me a chance, Mr. Lin."

After saying this, Zhong Lifang plucked up her courage, looked directly at Lin Yicheng, and waited quietly.

Lin Yicheng looked at her.

Then he asked a question.

"What if I want to know about the business secrets of Galloping Pony?"

Zhong Lifang was stunned when she heard this, and then her expression became a little unnatural.

It was quite a struggle.

She didn't know whether what Lin Yicheng said was true or false.

Is it a test? Or is this really an idea?

Unconsciously, beads of sweat appeared on Zhong Lifang's forehead and nose.

She couldn't help but close her eyes, struggling between her conscience and her desires for a while.

Then open your eyes again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I can't obey your order. Big Dog has been kind to me, and it would be unfair for me to leave Little Ma now. I don't want to do anything to gain fame and fortune."

Zhong Lifang said this with great difficulty, as if she had used up all her strength.

After she finished speaking, her body shook slightly.
-
Lin Yicheng smiled again and pointed at the sofa.

"Okay, sit down. Don't worry, I don't care about Xiao Ma's family background."

"Also, please tell Li Dagou a message for me when you get back."

"Mr. Lin, please go ahead." Zhong Lifang, who had just sat down on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief, immediately straightened up again.

"Tell him that as long as he doesn't return to his country, I won't target Pony Galloping anymore, and I won't bully a bunch of women."

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass it on. I would also like to thank you on behalf of Brother Dagou. Thank you for your kindness." Zhong Lifang said sincerely.

"There's no need to flatter me. You know who I am, and everyone in my circle knows it too." Lin Yicheng chuckled.

He will take revenge for every slight, he will take revenge for every grudge, he is petty and loves to bear grudges...

These are the comments about him in the circle.

"To be honest, Xiao Ma Ben Teng and Li Da Gou deserved what happened today."

"Even without me, this day would only be a matter of time."

"If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet."

"You say, isn't this the truth?"

"You are right." Zhong Lifang nodded in agreement.

She knew exactly how Li Dagou started his business and how he quickly grew big.

If you walk on the road too much at night, you will definitely encounter ghosts.

Li Dagou, he will definitely face such a disaster. It just depends on whether he can escape it.
-
"Also, tell him that from now on, he and I will not interfere with each other. As long as you don't mess with me, I will treat him as if he doesn't exist. The previous debt is also a settlement."

"There's no need to cede territory or pay compensation, just offer people."

"And you are his gift to make amends to me."

After hearing this, Zhong Lifang was stunned.

Although Lin Yicheng's words were a bit harsh, she could understand what he meant.

This is for her own good.

She left when Pony Gallop was at its most chaotic, and morally speaking, she felt a little sorry for Li Dagou.

She also felt guilty about it.

But Lin Yicheng found a reason for her and changed his words.

In this way, she did not leave voluntarily, but was forced to leave.

Although this is a bit self-deceptive.

But whether it was for Li Dagou or herself, there was an explanation.

With this reason, Li Dagou could no longer hold a grudge against her.

Her guilt can also be alleviated a lot.

Zhong Lifang felt a little touched.

Lin Yicheng is indeed a boss who is willing to consider his subordinates.

Such a boss is worth following.

Lin Yicheng saw all of Zhong Lifang's performance.

The first time we met, it was a "killing stick".

Today is the day to win people’s hearts.

First give someone a beating, then give someone a sweet treat.

He was very skilled in using this method.

"From now on, you will be a member of the company. Well, since you are new here, you can be the deputy general manager of administration first."

"You should first familiarize yourself with the company and understand the basic situation."

"After that, I have something for you to do."

Lin Yicheng made arrangements directly to Zhong Lifang.

It is inappropriate to give someone a position that is too high before they even come up.

The position of executive vice president is considered a senior level position.

But in reality, how much power one has and how much one can control all depends on Lin Yicheng's intention.

"Okay, I'm fine." Zhong Lifang agreed immediately.

She is still very satisfied with this position and dare not be dissatisfied.
