Chapter 304 Never happen again
After spending several days, Lin Yicheng finally "wrote" the script for "The Treasure Hunters".

In its previous life, this movie was a huge success both in terms of box office and word of mouth.

It is a rare and excellent commercial film.

Speaking of which, movies about a group of thieves stealing treasures are a special sub-genre in Hollywood.

The routine is very simple, visual effects blockbuster + handsome men and beautiful women and big stars.

Just spend money as much as you can.

Typical examples include "Ocean's Eleven" and its two sequels, as well as the subsequent "Fast and Furious" series.

The advantage of "The Heist" is that it adds great story ideas based on the genre film.

A clichéd story of a group of thieves is grafted onto a story of revenge.

It creates a group of protagonists with unprecedentedly complex relationships in this type of movie.

Especially in the first half of the movie, the clues are complicated and mind-boggling, but the story is not confusing at all.

The film dealt with nearly 10 important roles, each with different goals and dreams, creating excellent character creation in the play of a group of thieves.

At least in terms of character creation, it is much better than "Ocean's Eleven" and "Fast and Furious".

Many viewers can only remember a few characters in "Ocean's Eleven", not to mention "Fast and Furious", where the female characters are like vases with basically no sense of existence.
-
Of course, this movie is not without its flaws.

The second half of the original version was a bit lame.

Perhaps because it is a co-production between China and South Korea, many tropes of Hong Kong-style action movies are forcibly incorporated into the movie.

The first part is an exciting battle of wits and courage, but the second part is just the old-fashioned hard-core fighting.

It will give the audience a strong sense of disconnection and make the movie look a bit anticlimactic.

Then there are some minor shortcomings, such as some parts of the plot being illogical, the scene switching being vague, and the color grading of the film not being stunning enough.

Lin Yicheng has done his best to revise and improve the problems in the original script. Even if it is not completely flawless, the basic logic will not be a problem.

The remaining shortcomings can only be avoided and improved during the shooting process and post-production.

There is a reason why Lin Yicheng chose this movie.

Although in Hollywood, movies about a group of thieves and treasure robbers are nothing new.

But in the country, it is really rare.

Feng Kuzi's "A World Without Thieves" can barely be considered a film.

As for the rest, there is nothing.

Since Lin Yicheng has taken up the banner of "the country's number one director", he must set an example.

It is not only about expanding our own film genres, but also about making the types of domestic films more diverse.

Today, he has made comedies, costume films, satires, and action films.

Now is the perfect time to watch a movie called "The Thieves".

Furthermore, there are so many characters in "The Thieves", which can not only promote its own artists, but also be used as bait - taking out two or three roles and giving them to actors from other countries.

That’s what he did last time with “Taken,” and it worked really well.

Of course we have to keep up the good work this time.

Otherwise, those countries are not stupid.

There is no benefit at all. Why should we open the door to convenience for you and allow your own movies to invade the country?

This time, Lin Yicheng has not yet decided which country to choose and which country's actors to use.

Take your time.

When the movie is officially in preparation, spread the news.

Lin Yicheng is the "old friend" of whichever country offers the best conditions.
-
After finishing the script, Lin Yicheng went to the General Administration first.

Show it to Zhang Hongsen.

There's no way around it. If you look closely at this script, it's still a bit sensitive.

Not only are the main characters thieves, but the key point is that there is no important role of Uncle JC.

In the end, although a few thieves died, there were still a few thieves who were still living happily...

"I say, why do you always make such weird books?"

After reading the script, Zhang Hongsen had a slight toothache.

Take a look at the movies shot by Lin Yicheng.

"How Bad Movies Are Made" clearly exposes the underwear of the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Not to mention "Taken", where the biggest villain is hesitation.

As a result, a group of thieves came to this new book...

"I don't want to do that either, but it's my fault that I'm stuck like that now." Lin Yicheng also looked aggrieved.

"Think about it, if I continue on my old path, what will the audience say about me? What will my peers think of me?"

"Oh, is Lin Yicheng no longer able to do it? Is he starting to run out of ideas?"

"I am a soldier under your command. If that happens, it will be embarrassing for you, right?"

"Don't try that on me, kid." Zhang Hongsen scolded with a smile.

He already knew that Lin Yicheng was capable, but a bit of a troublemaker.

But it's understandable, young people after all.

If Lin Yicheng was really like other directors, lifeless, Zhang Hongsen would not like it.

"What about this book?"

Lin Yicheng took out a cigarette, gave it to Zhang Hongsen as a token of his respect, and lit it for him.

"This won't happen again." Zhang Hongsen exhaled a puff of smoke and said softly.

"Okay." Lin Yicheng laughed.

Really this won’t happen again?

Just listen.

Just give another reason next time.
-
"By the way, when are you going to move to a new place? This office is still a little small and doesn't match your vision and ambition."

Lin Yicheng asked about the things he was concerned about.

"It will be soon. The documents will be available in January."

Speaking of this, Zhang Hongsen is no longer sleepy.

He is only 45 years old this year.

It has already progressed to this position.

What about the future?

There are still at least twenty years to go!

I dare not think about it.

“I believe that under your leadership, we will be able to achieve excellent results in the future, and the entire industry will surely develop in great strides.”

Lin Yicheng's words were not entirely flattery.

In the previous life, when Lao Tong was the boss, it was really...

It would not be an exaggeration to describe the situation as being in a smoky mess.

Later, after Lao Zhang took over the mess, the situation changed significantly.

Today, Lao Zhang is four years older than in his previous life.

The impact that can be produced will definitely be better and greater than in the previous life.

Moreover, Lao Zhang is very lucky.

It just happened to catch up with the explosive growth of the domestic film industry.

By then, this achievement will certainly be very rewarding.
-
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about yourself. What are your thoughts?" Zhang Hongsen changed the subject.

"Ok?"

"I heard that Yingxie and Juxie invited you to join several times, but you refused?" Zhang Hongsen asked.

"That's right." Lin Yicheng nodded.

"If someone else asked me, I would definitely try to cover it up by saying that I am not very knowledgeable or experienced enough."

"But for you, it's not necessary."

"To be honest, I don't like these two places."

"They talk louder than they sing, but they don't do anything."

"In the meeting, he was listless, talking about the same things over and over again. After the meeting, he was full of energy, eating, drinking and singing."

"Why did I go to this place?"

Lin Yicheng is telling the truth.

Look at these two places, how did they invite Lin Yicheng before?

Just for an ordinary member!
Not even a director!
Who the hell are you talking about?
Let’s talk about shadow.

In the previous life, who were those main, deputy, and honorary ones?
Even the "King of Bad Movies" and "Wolf Warrior Beijing" can be deputy!
Whether a person has status in a circle is not determined by whether he has a title or not.

With Lin Yicheng's current status, he doesn't need these titles to embellish him.

"You."

Zhang Hongsen sighed and said nothing more.

Those two places were not his responsibility, and he was too lazy to get involved.

The reason I brought this up today is because someone complained a few times.

Lin Yicheng is the "number one director in the country". If he does not join, those two places will lose face.

It may even give people a feeling of being excluded.

"Anyway, you have to have some idea in your mind. At your current level, you don't know how many eyes are watching you."

"You must be familiar with the 'Crab Theorem'. There are too many people who want to pull you down."

Zhang Hongsen had high hopes for Lin Yicheng, so he gave him a few sincere reminders.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down, and I will not let the higher-ups down." Lin Yicheng said seriously.
-
After returning to the company, Lin Yicheng held a video conference.

There are three companies involved, Galaxy Video, Sina Weibo, and Moudian.

As the year draws to a close, we have to look back at the past and look forward to the future.

The locations of these three companies are relatively scattered, and Lin Yicheng is too lazy to run to each of them.

Thanks to Lin Yicheng’s wise leadership, well, at least that’s what Lin Yicheng thought, and Yan Siming, Cao Guowei, and Wu Wenhui who were present at the meeting also said so.

The performance of these three companies is very good.

Because of its weak foundation, Xinghe Video has made great efforts to catch up and is now at the forefront of the industry.

Sina Weibo and Dianping are the undisputed leaders in the industry, leaving the runner-ups far behind.

Although the main credit goes to the boss Lin Yicheng, we cannot let our employees down.

Just now, Lin Yicheng waved his pen and gave generous year-end bonuses to these three people, as well as the backbones and employees of the three companies.

"By the way, I heard that people in the Internet circle like to hold annual meetings?" Lin Yicheng asked with a smile.

"That's right. Many big Internet companies like to find a few celebrity singers to come and perform. Especially those Hong Kong stars are also keen to make money in the mainland through this method." Yan Siming replied.

Then, he couldn't help but look at Cao Guowei and Wu Wenhui.

What does Big Boss mean?
Are we going to invite the stars from Galaxy Film and Television to hold the annual meeting?

This is a real surprise.

They would never dare to think about Fan Xiaopang, Gao Yuanyuan and the like.

This is the big boss's woman and his private part.

But if we let other young actresses, such as Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, come and perform once, that would be very rare.
-
Lin Yicheng saw the eye contact between the three people and immediately understood what they were thinking.

"Don't even think about it. He's not a star under Galaxy Films."

After hearing what Lin Yicheng said, Yan Siming and the other two were suddenly disappointed.

However, Lin Yicheng's next words suddenly made the three people's eyes light up. A green light.

"Tell me, who is your favorite Japanese female teacher?"

"It must be Teacher Cang! I am her most loyal student for many years!" Yan Siming said impatiently.

"What era is it now? What about Teacher Cang? I think Teacher Bo is better. Not only is she young and beautiful, but the most important thing is that she is older!" Cao Guowei immediately retorted.

Although Teacher Bo has just debuted for a short time, Cao Guowei was deeply conquered by her broad mind.

"What kind of vision do you have? I think the best is Mr. Yoshizawa, and Mr. Hua Qiluo is also okay." Wu Wenhui also expressed his opinion.

"Fuck, look at your character." Lin Yicheng curled his lips and scolded.

"Hehe." The three of them laughed a little embarrassedly.

Although they support different teachers, they all have one thing in common: they are all perverts.

"You have no sense of proportion at all." Lin Yicheng knocked on the table and said domineeringly: "Don't argue anymore, call these four over!"

"Boss, Teacher Cang's appearance fee is not low. As far as I know, it is at least this amount." Yan Siming gestured towards Lin Yicheng.

"Huh?" Including Lin Yicheng, the three people in the video immediately turned their eyes to Yan Siming.

"How do you know it so clearly? Could it be..." Cao Guowei asked with a wink.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just heard it from others." Yan Siming explained quickly.

But no matter how you look at it, these words seem to lack some confidence.

"Since you, Old Yan, know so much, I'll leave this matter to you." Lin Yicheng ordered directly.

"Let's not have four, that's too few, not enough to share. How about this, all those who debuted in the past two years, who are good-looking, and who are popular, bring them all here."

"When the time comes, have them go on a 'tour' at your three houses, performing for a few days at each house. As for the order, you three can decide it yourselves."

"But I'll be frank with you. When they come, we must give them a warm and generous reception. If anyone brings shame to us Chinese men, don't blame me for scolding them."

"Boss, don't worry. I will let the teachers feel in depth what the real length and hardness are!"

Yan Siming was the first to pat his chest and make a promise.

"Come on, don't think about leaving get out of class after just a few minutes." Cao Guowei couldn't help but say something sarcastic.

"Old Cao, you are not young anymore, and maybe you are not able to do it. You'd better not go up, otherwise you will be messed up by others in a few moves." Wu Wenhui laughed.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't accept it, let's have a competition later!" Cao Guowei suddenly became anxious.

Seeing the three people arguing, Lin Yicheng directly turned off the video.

A bunch of old perverts.

Lin Yicheng disdained to associate with them.

Because he is not old.

This time, the reason why he asked those teachers to come over and reward these three companies was real.

But this is only one of the reasons.

Lin Yicheng had a secret idea in his mind.

Let the teachers come over first and take a deeper look.

One is born, the second is cooked.

After getting to know each other three or five times, we became familiar with each other.

You can then get in touch with the companies behind the teachers.

By that time, his idea could almost be implemented.
-
The company and the matters under the "Galaxy" have been almost dealt with.

Lin Yicheng went back to Chang'an first.

Chang'an Galaxy Film and Television Base.

"Boss Lin, look here, here we use... and here, we use..."

The person in charge of the construction company was introducing the project to Lin Yicheng in a torrent of words.

"Stop, stop. I don't understand what you are saying." Lin Yicheng felt a headache after listening to it.

"I only have one request, quality, quantity and time. Can you do that?"

"Don't worry about that. If anything goes wrong, you can ask me." The person in charge immediately guaranteed.

"That's what you said." Lin Yicheng looked deeply at the person in charge.

The reason why he came here in person was because he heard some bad news.

With this progress, Godfather's influence in Shaanxi Province has inevitably declined.

Even though there are still many old disciples and friends here, it is not to the point where people have left and the tea has been forgotten.

But the Chang'an Galaxy Film and Television Base project is really too big.

Just for the first phase of the project, there are more than a dozen small goals.

Any little bit that leaks out here is a lot of fat.

Naturally, this caused a lot of people to be jealous...

Although because of their godfather, those people didn't dare to go too far.

However, over-reporting, concealment of information, waste of energy and the like are always inevitable.

The first phase of the project was only half completed, but there were discrepancies in the accounts of nearly 20 million.

"This..." The person in charge was stuck and felt a pang in his heart.

He didn't take Lin Yicheng's money.

The point is, there are some things that he really has no say over, and he can only pretend not to see them.

If Lin Yicheng really pursued the matter, those people might be fine, but it would be hard to say for himself.
-
"Remember what I said just now, otherwise... hehe." Lin Yicheng patted the person in charge on the shoulder and left.

On the way out, Lin Yicheng felt as if he had eaten a fly and was extremely disgusted.

If someone in the entertainment industry dared to play with him like this, he would have turned hostile long ago.

Unfortunately, no.

It's easy to say "turn the table over", but if you really turn over the small one, you will cause trouble for the old one...

What's more, what should we do with this base in the future?
If we move to another place, will this kind of thing not happen anymore?

I'm afraid there will be more trouble!

He showed up in person at the base today just to show it to those people.

Remind them not to take it too far.

Both sides must at least maintain decency.

At this moment, Lin Yicheng could fully understand the difficulties Uncle Wang had gone through back then.

With Uncle Wang’s wealth and power, he has to pay all kinds of “tea money”.
-
After returning home, Lao Lin also advised Lin Yicheng after hearing what he said.

"What else can you do if you can't bear it? Can you catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"That's not possible." Lin Yicheng shook his head.

"What else is there to say? You are on someone else's land. Who can't make things difficult for you? In the end, who will be the one who suffers?"

"I just feel so angry, I really hate it..." Lin Yicheng said indignantly.

"Stop it right now." Old Lin interrupted Lin Yicheng directly.

"There's something wrong with you, kid."

"Is there?" Lin Yicheng asked in confusion.

"Yes, the murderous aura is too strong." Lao Lin said seriously.

"Look at what you've done recently. Others don't know who did it, but you're my son, how can I not know?"

"You beat this, you did that, so what? Does that make you stand out? Is that all you can do?"

"Well, even if you can do this in the entertainment industry, what else do you want? Who else do you want to touch? Who do you think you are?"

"Put away your murderous intentions as soon as possible and stay in your own little piece of land. You are not allowed to touch other places!"

"I, your father, don't even have a grandson yet, so I don't want to see the young one die. Do you understand?"

Lao Lin almost shouted out the last sentence.

Lin Yicheng was stunned.

As far as he could remember, this was the first time that Lao Lin spoke to him in such a harsh tone.

Lin Yicheng was silent.

He is reflecting on himself.

He has been very successful in the past two years.

No matter what the process is, the final result of everything he wants to do is what he wants and what he is satisfied with.

In this way, it is inevitable to have a feeling that "everyone in the world is being played around by me, that's all."

If this continues...

Lin Yicheng couldn't help but shiver.
-
"Dad, I know what to do from now on."

"That's good to know. To be honest, I was really nervous a few days ago." Lao Lin sighed.

"Others don't even have time to hide from those storms, how dare you get involved?"

"I don't know if it's because of your ancestors' blessing, but you're fine."

"It's okay this time, but what about next time? If a raindrop hits the wrong place, you will be in big trouble!"

"It's my fault. I made you worry." Lin Yicheng apologized quickly.

As he spoke, he picked up the apple on the table and prepared to peel one for Lao Lin.

Lao Lin glanced towards the kitchen.

It seems like he got some secret code.

Then he spoke.

"Speaking of ancestors, I have something to tell you."

"Dad, tell me."

"A few days ago, I dreamed about your grandfather."

"Hmm?" Lin Yicheng looked up and stopped what he was doing.

His impression of his grandfather had long been vague.

But this did not prevent him from respecting the old man from the bottom of his heart.

"Your grandfather came to me in my dream." A look of nostalgia appeared on Lao Lin's face.

"What did he say?" Lin Yicheng asked curiously.

"He said that he was out for a walk one day and met some old comrades. Guess what?"

"Dad, please stop keeping me in suspense."

"Those old comrades, each holding a fat boy in their arms, asked him, 'Lao Lin, where is your great-grandson? Why don't you bring him out for us to see?'"

Lin Yicheng: “…”

Well, so she's waiting for him here.

Seeing that Lin Yicheng remained silent, Old Lin continued to talk to himself: "Your grandfather has been strong all his life, and he is so angry."

"In the dream, he pointed at my nose and scolded me: 'How can you be a father? Can you take care of your son? If you can't, I will do it for you!'"

"Dad, stop, stop." Lin Yicheng quickly stuffed the half-peeled apple into Old Lin's mouth.

"Just tell my grandfather tonight, and I will definitely give him a great-grandson."

"Really?" Lao Lin seemed unconvinced.

"Also, tell grandpa again so he can be mentally prepared."

"Huh? What preparations?"

"When I get back to him, I will give him 70 or 80 great-grandchildren!"

Lao Lin: "..."
