Chapter 288 Comments on the "Four Little Flowers"? That's up to me!

"By the way, I heard there is a category on the platform called female what?" Lin Yicheng thought of another thing.

"You mean the female channel?"

"Yes, that's it." Lin Yicheng nodded and continued.

"You have to pay attention to this as well. These two points must not appear."

"Boss Lin, please give your instructions."

"First, those who openly promote gender equality but are actually just fighting are not allowed."

"Second, you can travel through time and space, but you can never travel to the Braid Dynasty."

"If you find these two types, you must deal with them one by one. Don't be lenient."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I understand." Zhou Wenhui quickly agreed.

"Oh, and also, those that are about foreign countries, whether ancient or modern, must also be strictly screened." Lin Yicheng ordered again.

"You are also aware of some public opinions in China. There are still quite a few public intellectuals, and many people, under the influence of those public intellectuals, believe that the air abroad is sweet and the moon abroad is rounder than ours."

"Therefore, novels that truthfully describe the suffering and endless wars abroad should be strongly supported, exposed, and promoted."

"On the other hand, those who embellish their overseas situations with makeup will also be dealt with."

"Don't worry, I know what to do." Wu Wenhui agreed.

Wu Wenhui discovered that although Lin Yicheng had many demands and some of them were a bit strange, overall, he was much better than the people at Shanda before.

At least, Lin Yicheng does not interfere in daily operations.

This kind of boss is a good boss.

"Okay, you don't have to see me off. Later, send someone to Xinghe Film and Television to discuss the issue of advertising placement. We can place advertisements in some modern dramas for you." Lin Yicheng gave his final order.

"Mr. Lin, thank you so much." Wu Wenhui was overjoyed when he heard that.

He knows how influential the dramas produced by Galaxy Film and Television are in the country.

If some point can be implanted in it, it will be of great help in increasing the popularity.

Not to mention, those dramas can also go abroad and reach Asia.

At that time, at some point, we can also expand the market and develop corresponding international versions.

Wu Wenhui just felt a burning sensation in his heart.

I have more confidence in the future prospects of the website.

Since he came to the Magic City, Lin Yicheng also went to Tangren.

It’s not for “drinking tea and tasting wine”.

There is something important.

Cai Yinong's office.

"What's the situation with 'Startling by Each Step'?" Lin Yicheng asked this first.

He still cares a lot about this play.

Not to mention that this is a hit drama that can both promote actors and make money.

The key point is that this is the project he has been promoting vigorously since he acquired a stake in Tangren.

It can only succeed, not fail.

Don’t think that Tangren, like Xing Culture and 18 Culture, are now branches of the “Galaxy”.

But there are still differences between these three.

Star Culture and 18 Culture do not have production capabilities and are simply brokerage companies. They must rely on their parent company, Galaxy Film and Television, to provide corresponding resources.

The Tang people were much more independent and autonomous.

Even though Cai Yinong is completely obedient to Lin Yicheng, it is hard to say what the employees below think.

After all, Tangren is in Shanghai, and he could barely be considered a peripheral member of the Shanghai circle.

As long as "Startling by Each Step" is successful, those employees will find that the current Tangren is completely different from the previous Tangren.

No one will go against their job and wallet.
-
"The filming has already started, that's it, that's it..." Cai Yinong hesitated.

"Just what?"

"Director Lin was not satisfied with Shi Shi's acting skills and scolded her several times, saying that her eyes were not lively enough or something like that."

Cai Yinong explained carefully, and then looked at Lin Yicheng with some anticipation, as if waiting for Lin Yicheng to make the decision for Liu Shishi.

Lin Yicheng saw through Cai Yinong's thoughts at a glance and laughed.

"I ask you, is it true that your eyes are not smart?"

"Is Director Lin's criticism wrong?"

"But..." Cai Yinong wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Lin Yicheng.

"That's great. Let me tell you something. Yang Mi, I'm going to sign her. As for you, go and spend more time with her, build a relationship with her, and try to bring her into Tangren."

"Okay, okay, I'll contact you later." Cai Yinong immediately stopped mentioning Liu Shishi.

Although Liu Shishi is like a sister to her, she is now far inferior to Yang Mi in terms of fame and commercial value.

Sisters are sisters.

Interests are interests.

Besides, Cai Yinong is confident that with her means, she can turn Yang Mi into a good sister.

Lin Yicheng laughed again.

In their previous life, the love-hate relationship between Cai Yinong and Yang Mi could be made into a movie.

Now, with his intervention and change, Cai Yinong will no longer say "once bitten by a dog".

Although Lin Yicheng told Yang Mi that she could choose from the three companies, Lin Yicheng still hoped that she would eventually join Tangren.

No other reason.

Tangren is the most suitable for her.

Star Culture already has Yao Di and Hai Qing, so it will never be Yang Mi's turn to be the number one star.

Not to mention 18 Culture, which is full of talented people. Even if Yang Mi went there, she wouldn't be able to get a place.

Moreover, whether it is Star Culture or 18 Culture, the artists there are basically all talented in acting.

The path she took was incompatible with Yang Mi's.

The Tang people were different.

Lin Yicheng’s plan for Tangren’s future is to focus on ancient idol dramas and modern idol dramas.

This type of drama is perfect for Yang Mi.

In her previous life, she had put herself in all kinds of difficult situations in order to change her reputation, just to prove that she had acting skills.

As a result, every time he made trouble, he was ridiculed by everyone.

After traveling for half a lifetime, he still returns as an ancient idol.

In this life, just don't struggle anymore and don't run away.

Just say “Half of my life is ancient idol drama”.
-
"When Yang Mi comes, you arrange a time for her and Liu Shishi to go to Hollywood together..." Lin Yicheng told Cai Yinong his plan.

Cai Yinong naturally agreed readily.

"Also, please stop mentioning that title you gave Liu Shishi. Don't you see what situation the original owner is in now?"

"Isn't it embarrassing to call her 'Little XXX'? If the audience mentions this title in the future, they will think of the real person. Will Liu Shishi's reputation be preserved?"

"I had no choice at the time. Seeing that she was very angry, I tried every possible means to help her," Cai Yinong explained in a low voice.

"Anyway, let's try to eliminate this influence. Well, since Yang Mi will be here, let's do a bondage show, like 'Tangren Shuangshu' or something like that."

"From now on, ask Yang Mi and Liu Shishi to show more affection in front of the camera."

"It's OK to joke around, play around, or even hug and kiss."

"Do you understand me?"

"I understand." Cai Yinong nodded again in agreement.

Using a more famous person to bundle a less famous person can effectively increase the popularity of the less famous one.

Once the less famous one becomes famous, she can turn around and give back to her bound partner.

"But there is one thing you need to pay attention to. I want a real pair of beauties. Don't kiss and kiss in front of me and then gossip about each other behind my back."

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

"That's fine. By the way, how are the talks with Softstar on Chinese Paladin 3 going?" Lin Yicheng asked again.

"It's not ideal. Their requirements are very strict. We have discussed it several times, but it always ended in failure." Cai Yinong shook his head in distress.

In the past, there were repeated conflicts between Tangren and Dahua over the mobile game development and film projects of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" IP, and the cooperation eventually broke down.

Now, this trend has emerged.

When "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" was first aired, it was premiered in Taizhou, and it was not broadcast on satellite TV.

Now, several years have passed, and after several rebroadcasts, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" has gained some influence.

Of course, it is definitely not to the extent of being praised and deified as in the previous life.

In this way, the "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" project has become a pretty good and popular project.

Dayu, of course I want to eat more benefits.

"Tell me, what are their demands?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"They want 50% of the copyright revenue of the TV series, and they also proposed that there must be Taiwanese artists in the main cast." Cai Yinong said angrily.

"Oh, we really gave them face." Lin Yicheng sneered and said, "Let's talk to them one last time and tell them that the maximum copyright revenue is only 30%, and we won't use any Taiwanese actors."

"If they don't agree, we will just part ways and Tangren will not film this drama."

"What if they look for other film and television companies to cooperate with?" Cai Yinong asked again.

"Looking for another company to cooperate with?" Lin Yicheng chuckled.

"By the time this game is dead, how can it find another company to cooperate with?"

Lin Yicheng has learned that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is just a stand-alone game, and the codes and programs in it are too simple.

As for the team led by Grand Commander Zhao Feiyu, anyone could crack it and capture it.

Cai Yinong was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized.

Although she didn't know what specific methods Lin Yicheng would use, she knew that as long as Lin Yicheng took action, there was nothing that could not be solved.

She was still thinking about negotiating with others through business means, but Lin Yicheng, on the other hand, solved the problem directly from the root.
-
"Also, have you received the invitation from Tencent to endorse games?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"Received. They invited Hugo and Shishi."

"Well, let them take the call. In addition, you can also use this opportunity to create personalities for the two of them, such as loving to play games in their spare time and having good skills."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity to attract a wave of game fans is also another way to break out of the circle."

"One more thing, how are the quality of the artists in the company?"

"Which aspect do you mean?" Cai Yinong asked.

"It includes knowledge and moral qualities," Lin Yicheng said. "It should be OK, but you know, they all graduated from dance schools or the three major art schools, so their academic performance will definitely be a little worse."

Cai Yinong said casually, but after he said it, he realized that the man in front of him also graduated from an art school.

"Of course, you are different from them. Everyone knows that you are a talented person," Cai Yinong quickly said.

"Heh." Lin Yicheng smiled.

No one knows better than him how valuable this "talent" of his is.

He simply didn't mention it and continued, "Whether it's the current artists or the newly recruited artists, they must keep up with the basic qualities. If they can't, they will be trained first. Those who fail the training will not be able to debut."

"Some relevant legal provisions, as well as ethical standards and so on. Later, I will prepare some training content for your three companies."

"Among artists, there must be no legal illiterates or people who are ignorant of the law."

"Nine-leaky fish?" Cai Yinong was a little unfamiliar with this new term.

"The nine-year compulsory education has slipped through the net." Lin Yicheng explained.

"Oh." Cai Yinong nodded.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, what a talented writer he is, the words he used sum it up so concisely and clearly.

"I don't want to hear that in the future our artists won't even be able to understand a script, and they'll have to mark pinyin or something on it." Lin Yicheng casually gave an example.

"Don't worry, that won't happen. No matter how bad our artists are, they won't be that bad." Cai Yinong said quickly.

Of course she knew who Lin Yicheng was talking about.

She had heard about this, too.

That person can speak Mandarin, but can’t recognize all the characters.

Therefore, her scripts are different from others, and they all have clear pinyin.

After all, he is an American.

It’s hard to say whether he has graduated from elementary school or not.

"I heard that not only does she not recognize Chinese characters, but she also often misspells words in her native language?" Cai Yinong gossiped.

"That's true." Lin Yicheng nodded.

"Bah! What the hell! I want to spit in her face!" Cai Yinong pouted and cursed with disdain.

Cai Yinong's impression of that person could not be worse.

She had good intentions and wanted to sign a contract with the other party, so she showed her sincerity.

The results of it?
After the other party took advantage of her sincerity, he turned his back on her and refused to acknowledge her promise.

Cai Yinong wished she could tear that person to pieces with her own hands!
-
"By the way, do you know about the voting for the 'Four Little Flowers'?" Lin Yicheng thought of something and asked.

"I know. It is said that the final list will be released in April. What do you mean?"

"When the time comes, you need to cooperate well. I will push Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Yao Di from Star Culture to the top."

"There's no problem with Yang Mi and Yao Di. The key is Liu Shishi. She's not famous enough right now. You should help build some momentum for her."

"Okay, I will do my best to cooperate." Cai Yinong was overjoyed when he heard that.

If Yang Mi and Liu Shishi can both be successfully selected, it will be a great thing for her and Tangren.

Among the four people, two are from Tang Dynasty, which is half of the country!
In the previous life, the “Four Little Flowers” ​​of this session were Yang Mi, Huang Shengyi, Wang Luodan and an unnamed American female star.

The result of this selection was made by Tencent in collaboration with hundreds of mainstream media, with the participation of millions of people and joint voting by nearly a hundred entertainment journalists.

Moreover, it was reported and recognized by CCTV.

This selection activity has far-reaching significance.

It not only marks the rise of post-80s female stars, but also breaks the previous controversies about titles such as "New Four Dan Actresses", "Four Flowery Dan Actresses" and "Four Little Dan Actresses".

These four people have become the new generation of "Four Little Flowers" widely accepted by the media and audiences.

However, this time, Lin Yicheng will definitely intervene.

Lin Yicheng is one of the shareholders of Tencent, the organizer, so of course he has a say.

Those media and journalists who are obsessed with whatever feeds them have already received the public relations fees and tea money they should have received in recent years and are well fed.

As for the so-called public referendum, there is no need to explain the intricacies involved. Those who understand will understand.

This time, Lin Yicheng wants to change the list.

First of all, a certain unnamed American female star must be excluded.

This is China's "Four Little Flowers" selection event in the mainland.

What does it have to do with her as an American?
Does she have this qualification?
Shouldn't she go to the United States to compete with her female compatriots for this honorary title?
-
In addition, Wang Luodan was also ruled out.

Lin Yicheng didn't have any problem with her.

But Wang Luodan is from the Beijing circle and is not Lin Yicheng's own person.

What’s more important is that her appearance, which is almost like “Ge Yu’s sister”, makes her incompatible with the other three.

Therefore, Lin Yicheng plans to replace Liu Shishi and Yao Di.

As for the remaining Huang Shengyi, Lin Yicheng was not going to touch her.

It’s not that he is nostalgic.

He and Senior Huang had lost contact a long time ago.

Now we are no longer on the same path.

Those fleeting romances have long since disappeared with the wind.

At first it was just a polite act of having sex and friendly applause.

The primary reason is that if Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and Yao Di were all selected, artists from the “Galaxy” would account for three of the four.

Got to save a spot for someone else.

Even if there is only one.

Otherwise, the way you eat would be too ugly.

What will your peers think and the audience comment on it?

Of course, Lin Yicheng couldn’t say whether Huang Shengyi would be successfully selected as in her previous life.

After all, the entertainment industry has been influenced too much by him and has changed too much.

Lin Yicheng would not be surprised if Huang Shengyi became someone else in the end.

The second reason is that there are really no suitable female artists born in the 80s under the "Galaxy".

If this selection activity could be postponed for another year, Lin Yicheng would definitely push Jing Tian up no matter what.

Unfortunately, Jing Tian is still an unknown figure now, and not even one of his works has been broadcast.

Pushing her to the top now would not be good for her, but would harm her.
-
After leaving Tangren, Lin Yicheng went straight back to the capital.

In the company's editing room, I met Ji Jie and Wang Liming.

"How's the special effects going?" Lin Yicheng asked.

"You know what, those Koreans are really good at it. The effect is no worse than that of Hollywood." Wang Liming smacked his lips and commented.

"Lao Lin, don't you want to think of a way to recruit some people over here?" Wang Liming asked.

"Forget it. They were kind enough to ask the team to come and help, but I turned around and poached their employees. That's really unethical." Lin Yicheng said.

"That's a pity." Ji Jie interrupted.

"Not a pity." Lin Yicheng shook his head.

"Haven't we arranged for our people to go there? Let them follow and learn well."

"Also, when you two are free, take those sticks with you, sing more songs, wash feet more often, etc. Give them the benefits properly, don't let them hide it."

"Hehe, I understand." Wang Liming winked and grinned.

"Also, I take this film very seriously, so the quality must not be a problem. As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work. There's no need to rush. It doesn't matter if you work a little slowly. Just take as long as you can. Do you understand?"

"You've really calculated it. You won't let them go back until they've emptied their stomachs of all the stuff." Wang Liming lightly punched Lin Yicheng on the shoulder.

"Old Wang, what you said is not right. What do you mean by theirs? Those things from the Bangs, which ones were not stolen from us? And you shamelessly brag that they are theirs! Screw them!" Ji Ji said with disdain.

"What Old Ji said makes sense. They owe us too much. This time, we can just pay them some interest." Lin Yicheng agreed.
-
After leaving the editing room, Lin Yicheng called Zhong Lifang into the office again.

"Do you know about the company Digital Domain?" Lin Yicheng asked directly.

"I know a little bit about it. It was co-founded by Scott Ross, the former manager of Industrial Light & Magic, and James Cameron, a famous Hollywood director. It is one of the well-known special effects companies in Hollywood. They have won two Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects and Technical Achievement for "Titanic" and "What Dreams May Come."

"It was later sold to Hollywood director Michael Bay, but after the subprime mortgage crisis, they have been unable to make ends meet for a long time, and their current situation is not very good."

Zhong Lifang just thought about it for a moment and gave an answer.

"Very good." Lin Yicheng was very satisfied.

He did not make a mistake in using Zhong Lifang.

"I have a task for you. From today on, keep a close eye on this company. When the time is right, I plan to acquire them." Lin Yicheng said.

In its previous life, Digital Kingdom also had a rough fate.

It was first acquired by Xiaoma Pentium in 2012, but Li Dagou died and Xiaoma fell into internal turmoil.

Aoliang Group, a listed company in Hong Kong, took the opportunity to acquire 70% of the shares of Digital Kingdom held by Pony.

It was a good show of making money out of nothing and reaping profits in the stock market.

And this Aoliang Group...

This may involve a financial transaction scandal that has lasted for more than ten years.

A certain fateful L family, Guo, Che, etc. and the financial consortiums represented by them staged one situational drama after another in the battle for financial resources.

"Also, you should keep an eye on two companies, one is Zhouyi Film and Television, and the other is Shanda Network." Lin Yicheng said again.

"I want all the behind-the-scenes staff of Zhouyi, except for the costumes and makeup. I also want the gaming talents of Shanda."

"Okay, Mr. Lin, don't worry, I will report the specific situation to you every once in a while." Zhong Lifang said with full enthusiasm.

She was not afraid of Lin Yicheng giving her tasks.

She just hoped there would be more of these tasks.

In this way, she will be taken seriously and have the opportunity to display her abilities.

"There is one more thing. There will be an industry meeting after the New Year. You can attend it on my behalf. You don't need to express your opinion at the meeting. Just listen." Lin Yicheng said again.

This kind of industry conference is held every year.

Not only is it long and boring, but the key is that it is completely useless.

It's all old stuff
It annoys him so much.

That’s great, let Zhong Lifang go.

Lin Yicheng just wanted to have some quiet time.

"Okay Mr. Lin."
