Chapter 307: Don’t “wait for the price” anymore (ask for monthly ticket)

"You are Chengcheng right?"

Lin Yicheng asked helplessly.

"Yes, brother-in-law, it's me."

Little Fatty, Fan Chengcheng still held Lin Yicheng's arm and refused to let go.

"Brother-in-law, I'm your fan!"

The little fat boy said this excitedly.

After hearing this, Lin Yicheng's mouth twitched slightly.

He couldn't bear to hear these words now.

The Riot Games, which he has been keeping a close eye on, has already launched "League of Legends" on the US server at the end of October.

Even if Lin Yicheng had never played this game in his previous life, he had heard of the "I am your fan" joke.

When they meet, they first say "I'm your fan", and then they go on stage and beat their idol to death...

By the way, could this brother-in-law have this kind of mentality?

This is absolutely not okay!
"Chengcheng, let go of your hand first. Your brother-in-law bought you a gift." Lin Yicheng said.

While my brother-in-law is still young, I must leave a very good impression on him.

"oh oh."

The little fat boy finally realized what was happening and let go of his hand, scratching his head embarrassedly.
-
Lin Yicheng walked back to the entrance and picked up a bag.

I just put it there when I changed my shoes.

"Here, see if you like it."

Lin Yicheng took out a box from the bag and handed it to the fat boy.

The little fat boy was about to take it when he remembered something.

He turned his head and looked at Fat Fan.

It is obvious that Fan Xiaopang has a very high status in the family.

After the fat boy's jokes, the atmosphere in the room became much more normal.

Fatty Fan no longer covered his face and was watching the interaction between Lin Yicheng and the fat boy, his "brother-in-law" and "brother-in-law", with a smile.

"You just take what your brother-in-law gave you. From now on, his words will be mine."

Fan Xiaopang gathered the hair behind his ears with his bare hands and slightly emphasized the word "brother-in-law".

"Oh, I understand, sis."

The little fat man nodded quickly and took the box from Lin Yicheng.

Just one look and he immediately shouted.

"Wow, it's Sony's PSP GO! Thanks, brother-in-law, I love it so much."

Looking at the little fat boy who was happily unpacking the box, Lin Yicheng couldn't help but smile.

I didn’t expect the little fat guy to be so knowledgeable.

Of course, this gift was not chosen by Lin Yicheng himself, so how would he know what children like?

So he handed it over to Li Yuefang.

Coincidentally, Li Yuefang has a cousin who is about the same age as the fat boy.

I bought this Sony handheld game console for Lin Yicheng.

Sometimes you have to accept the small life.

Products such as the Famicom, handheld game consoles and Walkman, etc., are truly popular all over the world.

"Why did you buy this for him? He just plays games. Does he still study?"

Fat Fan complained.

"Well, wait until you have a holiday to play. Don't play during school hours. Got it?"

Lin Yicheng also gave the little fat boy a warning.

"Yes, brother-in-law, don't worry, I'll listen to you."

The little fat boy hid behind Lin Yicheng, as if he was afraid that his new game console would be confiscated by his sister.

At this moment, in the eyes of the little fat boy, his brother-in-law Lin Yicheng is a good man.

Lin Yicheng was amused again when he saw this.

Fatty Fan had mentioned the little fat boy's situation to him.

With his academic performance, there is basically no room for improvement.

Besides, considering that he is Lin Yicheng’s brother-in-law, does academic performance matter?
Not important at all.

If the fat boy still wanted to enter the entertainment industry like in his previous life, Lin Yicheng would definitely make him even more popular.
-
"Auntie, this is a gift for you. I don't know what you like, but I think this should be suitable for you."

Lin Yicheng took out another small box and handed it to Fan's mother.

"Oh, that's really expensive for you."

Although Fan's mother said this, her hands moved quickly and she took it directly.

What the gift is or how much it costs, Fan's mother, who has no worries about food and clothing, doesn't care.

What she cared about was Lin Yicheng's kindness.

"Mom, let me open it for you."

Fat Fan came over and took the box from Fan Ma's hand.

Lin Yicheng didn't tell her in advance what gift he was going to give her.

She was curious to know what was in the box.

Through this gift, we can see whether Lin Yicheng is sincere or not, which reflects her importance in Lin Yicheng's heart.

As soon as Fat Fan opened the box, his beautiful eyes lit up.

I saw a string of agate bracelets lying quietly inside.

The color is as deep as the sea, the texture is unique and picturesque, and there is a small Maitreya Buddha carved on each one.

You can tell at first glance that it is made of top-quality materials and crafted with exquisite craftsmanship.

"Mom, let me put it on for you."

As he spoke, Fat Fan put the bracelet on Fan Ma.

As soon as she picked it up, Fan's mother immediately noticed the good quality of the bracelet - it felt as smooth as jade.

"Your son-in-law is really good to you. Just this string of pearls is worth at least 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, maybe even more."

Fat Fan gave Fan’s mother a very “thoughtful” reminder.

"Huh? So expensive?"

Fan's mother was shocked.

If the item was worth thousands or even tens of thousands, she could still accept it with a clear conscience.

But she really didn't dare to accept things worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Mother Fan hurried to take it off.

But he was stopped by Fat Fan.

"Don't worry, just wear it. This is a token of his love."

"This……"

Fan's mother was still hesitant.

He first looked at Fat Fan, then at Lin Yicheng.

"Yes, Auntie, you can wear it. It's a token of my love for you."

Lin Yicheng said with a smile.

Fan Xiaopang’s estimation was correct.

The original price of this bracelet is really over a million.

It’s just that Lin Yicheng bought three strings at one time - three strings of different colors and styles.

They gave me a 20% discount.

He plans to give one of the remaining two strings to his godmother when he returns to his hometown during the Chinese New Year.

He has more than one mother-in-law, Fan Ma. His godmother is a more authentic mother-in-law.

The other string, of course, must be presented to my mother as a filial offering.
-
After listening to Lin Yicheng's words, Fan's mother had no choice but to continue wearing it.

But the action was extremely cautious.

I didn't know where to put my hands.

I was afraid that the bracelet would be bumped or damaged.

At the same time, my impression of Lin Yicheng improved a bit.

The son-in-law was so generous that it was obvious that he valued her daughter from the bottom of his heart.

This is enough.

"My mom and my brother both have presents, where's mine?"

Fat Fan stretched out his white and tender little hands and asked Lin Yicheng for a gift in a coquettish manner.

"Crack~"

Lin Yicheng simply reached out and slapped Fan Xiaopang's hand away.

"What are you thinking about? It's not your place."

Lin Yicheng said unhappily.

Except for the last Children's Day when Fan Xiaopang called "Daddy".

At other times, she refused to scream no matter what.

With this performance, you still want gifts?

"Well, if you don't want to give it to me, then I'll buy it myself later."

Fat Fan wrinkled his pretty little nose and snorted.

Fan's mother was standing by, smiling broadly and watching the two bickering with a look of satisfaction on her face.

I felt so relieved.

See Weizhi book.

Through these details, she could see that the relationship between Lin Yicheng and his daughter was really good.
-
Lin Yicheng had dinner at Fan Xiaopang's house.

Fan’s mother cooked herself and prepared more than a dozen of her signature dishes.

You know what, her cooking skills are pretty good.

Especially the classic Shandong dish - braised sea cucumber with scallions, which was particularly to Lin Yicheng's taste.

Most of the food on the plate went into Lin Yicheng's stomach.

Seeing that Lin Yicheng liked it so much, Fan's mother asked him to come more often so that she could continue to cook for him.

After a happy dinner, Lin Yicheng said goodbye.

Although he had stayed overnight at Fan Xiaopang's place countless times before.

But today is the first time I’ve come to your house.

You still have to do what you should do.

On the path outside the villa.

Fat Fan held Lin Yicheng's arms with both hands and leaned on him.

In name, he came out to see Lin Yicheng off, but in reality, he just wanted to take the opportunity to spend some more time with him.

After walking for a while, Lin Yicheng seemed to be hesitant to speak several times.

Fat Fan noticed it.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Fat Fan raised his head.

"Why didn't your mother ask me anything?"

Lin Yicheng was still very confused about this.

If all mothers-in-law in the world were like Fan's mother, most men would be so excited that they would burst into tears.

"What's there to ask? Income, car, house, these things, do you still need to ask?"

"What about the others?"

"Anything else?" Fat Fan immediately understood what Lin Yicheng meant.

"I've already given her some warnings in advance."

Fan Xiaopang's words were a bit vague.

Lin Yicheng knew what she meant.

It's nothing more than things related to marriage and children.

In these aspects, he and Fan Xiaopang had a tacit understanding and never discussed them.

Lin Yicheng didn't say anything, but just put his arm around Fan Xiaopang's waist.

it is more than words.

"kiss Me."

Fat Fan stopped, closed his beautiful eyes slightly, and pursed his red lips.

Lin Yicheng looked around.

The path was very quiet, with only the two of them and no one else.

No hesitation either.

He bent down and kissed her directly.

"Woo~"

Fan Xiaopang’s response was very intense.

This kiss lasted for three or four minutes...

There is indeed no one around.

But the two of them forgot that Fan Xiaopang’s villa was a high-rise building.

Mrs. Fan is still in the villa.

Everything the two did after they left the house was seen by Fan's mother.

When she saw the two of them kissing passionately, the last big stone in Fan's mother's heart was finally put down.
-
For Lin Yicheng, New Year's Day 2010 passed so peacefully.

But this year's New Year's Day period is particularly turbulent.

That man - a truck driver, dropped a blockbuster bomb on the domestic film market - "Avatar"!
As soon as the movie was released, it showed its absolute dominance.

Movies released in the same period, whether domestic or Hollywood, have no ability to resist at all.

All of them were ruthlessly crushed by "Avatar".

The domestic release date is later than that in North America and other countries.

Therefore, domestic audiences have already known about the grand release of "Avatar".

In order to catch a glimpse of the film, long queues formed in front of all the cinemas in the country that were equipped with IMAX and 3D projection facilities.

Some viewers have to drive to neighboring cities because there are no IMAX or 3D cinemas in their own city.

On the first day of its release, "Avatar" directly broke the domestic first-day box office record previously set by Lin Yicheng.

And this record was raised to a despairing 6000 million!

It doubled the original record!
The price of a 3D ticket starts at 100 yuan, and an IMAX ticket starts at 200 yuan.

It's only natural that "Avatar" has such amazing first-day results.

In the following days, although "Avatar" did not break any records, its box office performance was very stable.

Over 100 million in two days, over 200 million in four days, over 300 million in one week...

Colleagues in the industry are really confused.

Almost everyone remembered the big ship from that year.

Could it be that Avatar will be the second big ship? Could it be that Avatar will create another box office record that cannot be broken for ten years?
Under such tremendous pressure, some people in the industry became desperate and even gave up on themselves.

Working hard to revitalize domestic films?

What a waste of effort!

Facing an opponent like "Avatar", no matter how hard they try, will it be of any use?
How can small family workshops in China outperform Hollywood’s industrialized model?

Domestic audiences have had their horizons broadened and their appetites spoiled by "Avatar". How will they watch domestic films in the future?
Just stop struggling and lie down and let me fuck you!
Just make some random movies in the future and try to fool the box office as much as possible...

Some people, however, have seen new hope and found new ideas to make money.

It turns out that audiences love watching 3D movies so much?

It turns out that 3D movies are so profitable?

What are you waiting for?
Let’s make 3D movies too!

Yes, we do not have 3D shooting equipment, nor do we have relevant technical experience.

But if I can’t shoot real 3D, can’t I make fake 3D?
Just convert the ordinary movie, well, just make the subtitles into 3D, we can't afford more than that.

It also deceives the audience under the banner of "3D blockbuster".

By then, wouldn’t it be possible to make a lot of money?

This is called spending a small amount of money to do big things!

In this way, many messy projects were hastily launched.

No matter what the content is, just promote yourself as a "3D movie" first!
Rushing to be the first.

No one wants to be the first to eat the soup.
-
Even Uncle Han, Fatty Yu, Wang Decai and others had the same idea.

They also called and asked Lin Yicheng if he wanted to do this together.

Lin Yicheng declined all of them.

If the leader is unwilling, then there is nothing that can be done. These families can only use their own methods and show their talents.

The first thing they did was to look for talents everywhere - talents who could convert to 3D.

Uncle Han was even a little fanciful and asked Lin Yicheng whether the movie "The Heist" could be made into 3D.

Are you kidding me?
One of the great things about The Heist is its fast pace and high-speed cuts.

If this is made into 3D, it would be pure suicide - the audience would feel dizzy and nauseous.

Without the fast pace and high-speed editing, "The Raiders" would become a mediocre movie.

Lin Yicheng just watched coldly at the chaos in the circle.

He doesn't want to make this kind of money, but there's no need to stop others from making it.

This is not just the case in China.

The same is true in Hollywood.

For example, "Alice in Wonderland" and "Clash of the Titans" are purely fake.

This chaos will not improve until this batch of pseudo-3D movies are released, which have completely ruined their reputation and lost the trust of the audience due to problems such as poor color saturation and eye-damaging focusing.

Now is the time when colleagues are eager to see the product and audiences are making blind demands.

Lin Yicheng will not be the "clear-headed person in the world" who is "clear-headed while the whole world is turbid".
-
"Are you not in a hurry at all?"

In a horse farm in Beijing, Lin Yicheng and Wang Liming were each riding a horse and trotting slowly.

Lin Yicheng didn't have any hobbies in horse riding, but he heard that this sport was good for certain male functions, so he came to try it.

Don't know if it's true or not.

However, since they all test "riding skills", there must be some truth to it.

The reason why I dragged Wang Liming along.

It's also for his own good.

My old brother has really been developing horizontally in the past two years - he is getting fatter and fatter.

I’m almost 200 pounds.

If this continues, how will Lao Wang be able to interview new actresses in the future?
"Why should I be in such a hurry?" Lin Yicheng asked back.

"Your record has been surpassed. The box office of Avatar may even exceed 10 billion."

Wang Liming is a bit like the emperor who is not anxious, but the eunuch is.

Speaking of "Avatar", Wang Liming felt that he seemed to have heard Lin Yicheng mention it a few years ago.

It’s just that it’s been so long that I can’t remember some of it clearly, and I’m not sure if I said it at all.

"So what? I was able to destroy his ship once before, and I can destroy his aliens again in the future."

Lin Yicheng said with a smile.

When it comes to global movie box office, "Avatar" is truly awesome.

The figure of 28 billion US dollars firmly occupies the first place.

No matter whether it is "Avengers" or "Star Wars", it cannot be shaken.

The truck driver took the first and third place in the top three with "Avatar" and "Titanic".

But, it’s in the country.

Don’t think that “Avatar” is really shocking now.

But it is not the second big ship.

There is not such a strong dominance at all.

What’s 6000 million on the first day?
Not to mention the authentic directors in the future.

Even Guo Xiaosi expressed his dissatisfaction!

Do you know that "Tiny Times 1" had a box office of 7300 million on the first day?
As for the box office of over 1 billion, that goes without saying.

Weight loss pills can earn 3.3 billion!

By comparison, it seems that the truck driver is nothing special - he is not even as good as Guo Xiaosi and Jia Sheng...

What's more, Lin Yicheng also knew that if nothing unexpected happened, "Avatar" would be the truck driver's last glory.

Even though "Avatar 2" has achieved great box office worldwide.

But the reputation is ruined.

Especially in China.

Twelve years later, with the domestic market booming, the domestic box office of the second film is almost the same as the first.

Truck drivers are also getting old.

In the future, he will gradually step down from the altar just like his predecessor Spielberg.
-
"Are you referring to 'The Thieves'?" Wang Liming asked again.

"Of course not." Lin Yicheng shook his head.

Although he is confident about "The Raiders", there is no possibility that the box office of this movie will exceed that of "Avatar".

For domestic films, which are not in 3D format, there is no need to even think about it, especially when the domestic market has not really exploded.

"Oh, what a pity." Wang Liming sighed.

"When will our domestically produced films be able to make a breakthrough?"

"There will be a day."

Lin Yicheng said softly.

This is also one of the goals he has been working towards.

If domestic films were still as chaotic as they were in the past, with all the chaos going on.

Then wouldn’t he have traveled through time in vain?
"By the way, after the filming is finished, you should go to Hollywood too." Lin Yicheng said.

"Huh? You want me to learn 3D shooting?" Wang Liming immediately understood what Lin Yicheng meant.

"That's right." Lin Yicheng nodded.

It’s hard to say whether he will make a 3D movie in the next few years.

But this technique must be learned.

Lin Yicheng himself didn't have time, so he had to ask Wang Liming, his "official photographer", to go.

If Lao Wang has learned it, it is equivalent to Lin Yicheng having learned it.

"Okay, I'll come back and teach you when I've learned it." Wang Liming agreed readily.

The two were chatting when Lin Yicheng's cell phone rang.

At first glance, it was Zhang Hongsen calling.

Lin Yicheng pulled the reins and stopped.

"Hey, Director Mori..."

"Well, I'm a little busy these two days and can't spare the time..."

"I'm not lying to you. I'm discussing with Wang Liming how to prepare for it. After all, it's a cross-border joint shoot, and it's very stressful."

"Then I'll let Zhong Lifang go in my place..."

Looking at Wang Liming who was winking at him, Lin Yicheng raised his index finger in annoyance, telling him to be quiet.

That's right. The influence of "Avatar" is not only seen by peers in the industry and audiences.

The leaders saw it too.

Now, a seminar initiated by the General Administration and organized by the Film Association and the Film Art Research Center will be held in Beijing the day after tomorrow, December 12th.

Industry insiders and relevant experts are widely invited to participate.

The title of the meeting is very impressive - "Symposium on Inspiration and Reflection on the Movie "Avatar"".

The content of the meeting was also meaningful - allowing participants to engage in "passionate and in-depth" discussions.

Lin Yicheng always tries to stay as far away from such meetings as possible.

Participate in shit.

Do you go there to listen to your colleagues' complaints? Or listen to the experts' nonsense?
What will you say then?
pour cold water on?
Isn’t the cold water poured down by “Avatar” itself enough?
Talk about the future?
Who of those people cares about the future? Who doesn't only care about the present?
It would be most appropriate for Zhong Lifang to attend this kind of meeting.

Representing Lin Yicheng, he participated in it.

There is no need to make any statement.
-
After perfunctorily responding to Zhang Hongsen, Lin Yicheng was about to hang up the phone.

Then Zhang Hongsen said something else.

This is the most critical thing.

Today, China and South Korea are still in the honeymoon period.

Above, we want to deepen the feelings and exchanges between the two countries in many aspects and dimensions.

Naturally, there will be communication between film and television works.

This is cultural exchange.

The higher-ups were also aware of how big of a sensation "Heart Love" caused in Korea.

In addition, there are "Taken" and "The Legend of Lan Lan", which have achieved huge success in South Korea.

Since Lin Yicheng is so ambitious, let's just not bother two people with the same thing.

This time, Lin Yicheng will continue to take action - "The Heist" will be filmed in Korea and made into a Sino-Korean co-production, so that both sides can have a good exchange in the field of film and television.

The higher-ups have spoken.

Could Lin Yicheng still refuse?
Although, he knew that the Koreans were always ungrateful people who only cared about food and not about beatings.

Even though it's still the honeymoon period, it's really useless.

From now on, it will turn around and look for its American father.

In a few years, even my own father will be allowed to deploy Saddam in my own home...

Who is this directed at?

However, Lin Yicheng couldn’t tell anyone about these things and could only keep them in his heart.

"Ugh."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yicheng sighed.

"What's wrong?" Wang Liming asked curiously.

"After this, I have to eat kimchi for a while." Lin Yicheng said helplessly.

"Huh?" Wang Liming was stunned at first, then he understood.

"The new film has to be shot in Bangzi?"

"It's the request from above." Lin Yicheng pointed to the sky.

Originally, he was thinking of "waiting for the price to rise".

See which country in Southeast Asia offers the best treatment and conditions.

Now, there is no need to “wait” anymore.

There was no other way but to contact Huang Chunrong, the "old brother" whom I hadn't seen for a long time, and relive the "brotherhood" of the past.

"Horse riding!"

Wang Liming cursed.

The last time he was filming "Heart Love", he was really upset because he loves meat.

Eating kimchi every day almost made him green.

Although there are also barbecue and fried chicken and so on.

But those things taste okay if you eat them occasionally, but if you eat too much, you will feel sick of them.

"Stop complaining. This time, I'll take you to do something exciting." Lin Yicheng comforted.

"What's exciting?" Wang Liming asked.

"It's the one I told you about last time. Old Huang told me that he has made a new device with strong power, high frequency, and can also adjust the tune intelligently..."

"Really?" Wang Liming's eyes suddenly lit up.

Last time, after he heard Lin Yicheng talk about this, he was in a state of mixed emotions - on the one hand, he cursed the inhumanity of the Korean entertainment industry, and on the other hand, he complained about why Lin Yicheng didn't invite him to join him at the time...

"How can I lie to you? Not only that, you can also give those actresses some in-depth guidance on their acting skills."

Lin Yicheng gave Wang Liming a look that every man could understand.

"Don't you like that guy? When the time comes, I'll let Lao Huang make arrangements for you."

"That's a deal." Wang Liming was overjoyed.

"I love eating kimchi the most in my life! If possible, I would eat it for the rest of my life!"

"Look at how you fight." Lin Yicheng said sarcastically.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep practicing. Don't let the time come when you fail to 'show off our national prestige' and bring shame to the Chinese men."

"Practice, I have to practice. I've been practicing like crazy during this period!"

Wang Liming's fighting spirit was burning.

As he said this, he slapped the horse's butt hard.

"drive!"

Wang Liming rode his horse and galloped quickly.

His whole body swayed up and down with the movements of the horse.

Judging from the posture, it seems that the one he is riding is his favorite Korean female star...

"drive!"

Lin Yicheng also waved his whip and chased after him.

He is not interested in Korean female stars.

Lin Yicheng could still accept some local "technology and hard work".

But Lin Yicheng was unwilling to refuse the comprehensive "technology and hard work".

The main thing is that this year is already 2010.

Those little flowers born in the 90s have all grown up healthily - those that should bloom are blooming, and those that should sprout are sprouting.

As an "old senior", Lin Yicheng must of course prepare for a rainy day.

　It's the end of the month, and those of you who still have tickets in your pockets, please vote for me. I'd be very grateful!
