Chapter 308 Brothers, Settle Accounts Clearly (asking for monthly tickets)
Lin Yicheng spent the Spring Festival of the Lunar New Year of the Tiger in his hometown of Chang'an.

It’s New Year’s Eve.

Lin Yicheng and his family of three came to Jing Tian's house.

The two families have been old friends for a long time, and now Lin Yicheng and Jing Tian have already established a relationship.

It is natural for two families to have New Year’s Eve dinner together.

Jing Tian, ​​Zhao Yuxia and her godmother, the three women were chatting enthusiastically about the Spring Festival Gala.

Lin Yicheng, Lao Lin and his godfather, three grown men, of course talked about work.

Especially the content that men must talk about.

In this regard, Godfather is of course the main speaker.

It revealed some unknown inside stories.

In particular, the godfather specifically reminded Lin Yicheng not to have any relationship with a certain person in a certain city in the southwest.

To this, Lin Yicheng naturally agreed readily.

Even though it is still in full swing now.

But no one knows better than him how the final outcome will be.

He must have tried to hide as far away as possible.

During the dinner, Lin Yicheng mentioned some things about the Chang'an Xinghe Film and Television Base.

Although my godfather is no longer in Shaanxi Province, he still has some connections and contacts, so I have heard about this.

The advice that godfather gave to Lin Yicheng can be summed up in one sentence - "out of sight, out of mind."

As long as those people don’t go too far, just pretend you didn’t see anything.

Of course, if those people are still greedy, that’s another matter.

After all, this base was originally approved under the auspices of his godfather and was one of his major political achievements.

If those people go too far, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of my godfather?

Although my godfather looks kind and benevolent, it would be a big mistake to think that he is a vegetarian and a Buddhist.

During the dinner, Lin Yicheng told his godfather about his plan - a war for Internet copyrights.

In this regard, the godfather expressed his support.

Although it has been almost ten years since we joined the WTO, the country is still criticized for certain aspects, such as piracy.

The Internet is the responsibility of the godfather.

As long as it is done well, it will be a great political achievement.

So, the "father and son" or "father-in-law and son-in-law" agreed on a plan for this matter.
-
Years later, Lin Yicheng returned to the capital.

Started to get busy.

Galaxy Film and Television Company will prepare and launch many projects this year.

In terms of movies, there is also Lin Yicheng’s own "The Thieves".

Yang Qing also got a new book from Lin Yicheng - "The Unknown".

After knowing each other for such a long time, Yang Qing has proved his loyalty through his works and actions.

Therefore, Lin Yicheng directly handed over the power of this project to Yang Qing.

Let him choose anyone from the two agencies, Star Culture and 18 Culture, as long as he thinks it is suitable.

As for TV dramas, by the middle of the year, Liu Kang, who had been on secondment to Media Communications, will come back and continue to do his old job.

Lin Yicheng has also prepared the relevant scripts, and will let Liu Kang choose the one he likes when the time comes.

Liu Kang had worked for the coal boss for so long that he really didn't want to leave.

He used the pseudonym "Jiang Liu" in all the horror films he made.

The name "Jiang Liu" has already had a considerable influence in the minds of domestic horror film fans.

Although Liu Kang himself did not gain fame, he did not suffer any loss either.

Not to mention making a lot of money.

The key is that every time he makes a horror movie, he has to personally guide some new actresses.

After shooting dozens of films, Liu Kang has directed nearly a hundred actresses.

It is said that Liu Kang lost a lot of weight due to such high-intensity work.
-
On the Tangren side, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" will also be filmed in the near future.

The director is Lin Yufen.

The leading actors are Hu Ge, as well as Da Mimi and Liu Shishi, who have just returned from "further training" in Hollywood and have evolved into their perfect selves.

Their respective roles, just like in their previous lives, are Jingtian, Xuejian and Longkui.

What is different from the previous life is that there are no Hong Kong and Taiwan actors involved in this film.

The artists used are all from the "Galaxy".

One of the male protagonists, Xu Changqing, is played by Yuan Hong.

The Demon Lord Zunlou is played by Lin Gou.

Zi Xuan, one of the heroines, was a role that made Cai Yinong very embarrassed for a while.

According to the role setting, Zixuan needs to be graceful and have a cool temperament.

From the innocent, cute and naive little girl at the beginning, to the experienced, mature and infatuated descendant of Nuwa.

Not only does the actor need to be able to interpret these two completely different images well, but the key is to have that royal sister style and charming temperament.

Cai Yinong searched everywhere but couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Cai Yinong is of course aware that Lin Yicheng and Chengtian have a bad relationship, and he also has opinions about the Hong Kong circle.

Therefore, Tang Yan, an artist of Orange Sky and active in the Hong Kong circle, was not even considered by Cai Yinong.

In the end, Cai Yinong had no choice but to ask Lin Yicheng for help.

Then, Lin Yicheng assigned an actress to her - Guo Zhenni from Star Culture.

Letting this sister play Zi Xuan is absolutely a sure thing, there won't be any problem at all.

By the way, ever since collaborating with Lin Yicheng on "Heart Love", Guo Zhenni has joined Star Culture.

This sister did not quit the circle resolutely out of despair like she did in her previous life, but is still working as an actress smoothly.

In her previous life, it was said that a certain financial sponsor wanted to support her for a few years, otherwise he would ban her.

Although this sister looks charming, she has a hot temper and has simply retired from the circle - I don't want to play with you guys anymore.

Now, not only does she have the support of an agency, but the key is that Lin Yicheng is backing her up.

If there really is someone so blind as to want to touch her, haha, then they really have to consider the consequences carefully.

However, this sister's personality is really a bit too Buddhist.

In addition to being unwilling to accept commercial performances, he also has a very indifferent attitude towards scripts and roles.

If there is a role and the company asks her to play it, she will play it.

Without a role, she would not fight for it. She would just stay at home, planting flowers and plants, painting and so on.

Her personality is very suitable for Star Culture Company - most of the artists under Star Culture are like this.

Therefore, the artist relationships and atmosphere of Star Culture Company are basically the most harmonious in the circle.
-
In addition to these main characters, there was one person in the cast list of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" that caught Lin Yicheng's attention.

Zhao Liying.

Ever since Huayi collapsed, all of its famous artists have been divided up by Lin Yicheng, Fatty Yu and the coal boss.

It's just a pity for an unknown extra like Zhao Liying, who suddenly became a motherless child.

At that time, Lin Yicheng's attention was elsewhere, so he forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, Zhao Liying's luck was really good. She was spotted by Cai Yinong and joined Tangren.

This time, she played a small supporting role - Huaying in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3".

Seeing this, Lin Yicheng couldn't help but laugh.

Cai Yinong’s taste is really amazing.

What is Jacaranda?

That's a little potato spirit.

Having Zhao Liying play Huaying is such a true portrayal of her true self!

She is the real "potato spirit"!
It’s just that Tangren first had Liu Shishi, then Da Mimi, and now Zhao Liying…

Well, three of the four great kings of “Ying, the Poet of the Tang Dynasty” have gathered together!
From now on, the relationship and competition between these three will probably keep Cai Yinong busy.

After all, none of these three are easy to deal with.

Anyway, it won’t be Lin Yicheng who will have a headache at that time, he can only watch the fun.

He couldn't wait to see what kind of sparks these three could create and what kind of drama they could put on when they got together.
-
After all these matters were dealt with, Lin Yicheng asked people in the company to spread the news.

His new movie, "The Raiders," is about to be prepared.

Good guy.

The day the news was released.

Various sponsors came upon hearing the news, waving their money in their hands, and almost broke down the door of Galaxy Film and Television Company!
Look at the posture, it's like an old ladybug who has abstained from sex for many years, meeting a technician girl from 98 - her eyes are full of green light!

The first ones to be confirmed, of course, were Audi, Nokia and Wahaha, three friendly companies with whom we have cooperated for many years.

As for the rest, the same old saying applies: the highest bidder gets it.

Lin Yicheng himself does not need to worry about these aspects, as Xinghe Film and Television Company has its own set of mature operating experience.

Lin Yicheng was discussing cooperation matters with Huang Chunrong, his "good brother" whom he had not seen for a long time.

Although we are all "good brothers".

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly.

After several rounds of confrontation via video calls, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

China-South Korea co-production is the foundation.

First of all, in terms of investment, the initial filming funds are tentatively set at 6000 million RMB, with China and South Korea each contributing half.

The specific costs for post-production, publicity and distribution will be determined based on the circumstances at that time, and both parties will split the costs in half.

On the Chinese side, Huang Chunrong will not ask how Lin Yicheng allocates half of the investment.

Similarly, on the Korean side, no matter which Korean film and television company Huang Chunrong will choose to cooperate with, Lin Yicheng will not interfere.

Secondly, in terms of revenue, China’s movie box office as well as television, Internet, and audio-visual copyrights all belong to China.

The box office revenue and related copyrights of Korean movies belong to South Korea.

As for the box office and copyright in Southeast Asia and overseas, the two sides will split it in half.

"The Heist" will not only be released simultaneously in China and South Korea.

The two sides will also mobilize their respective relationships to achieve simultaneous release across Asia, or at least across East Asia.

As for overseas copyrights, both parties have their own division of labor.

Lin Yicheng is responsible for South America and Africa.

Huang Chunrong is responsible for North America and Europe.

These things sound simple, but when it comes to the contract, they take up more than a dozen pages of densely packed paper.

When it comes to cross-border cooperation, there is no room for carelessness.

Otherwise, it may even affect the diplomatic level.

Detailed notes have been made for every place where problems and disputes may arise.
-
In terms of actors, both parties are basically half and half.

If Lin Yicheng had followed his original idea, and if all the investment in "The Heist" came from China, then he would just have to throw out a few supporting roles and give them to a Southeast Asian country to let them taste the sweetness.

Now that it has become a Sino-Korean co-production, we can’t fool around like that.

I'm not a fool.

There are eleven main characters in "The Thieves".

The first male protagonist, plus two teams of thieves, a total of ten people.

There is also a big villain.

The original version of "The Heist" is also claimed to be a co-production between China and South Korea.

But the most important roles have nothing to do with China.

Ren Dahua and Zeng Aizi’s sons are the only two people.

Ren Dahua is better, as he has quite a few roles.

As for Zeng Aizi's son, he was just a cameo appearance and didn't have many scenes at all.

Apart from these two, the rest are basically Korean actors.

This time, Lin Yicheng directly took away six roles including the first male lead.

The remaining five roles were given to Huang Chunrong.

Among these five people, Lin Yicheng also made a request - they must include artists under SM Entertainment, Little Seal, and You Wenhua.

As a result, the real Korean actors can only get four main roles.

By the way, after working together on "Heart Love" that year, Lin Yicheng had a pretty good impression of Xiao Haibao.

Acting skills don't matter.

The key is that this person is humble and polite.

Originally, after "Heart Love" was released in Korea, Xiao Haibao wanted to terminate his contract with SM Entertainment Company in advance and return to China to hang out with Lin Yicheng.

However, after considering it, Lin Yicheng did not let him do so.

If he were to return to China, he would simply be the second Han Geng.

There is no shortage of idol-type male actors under the "Galaxy".

What's more, due to the influence and suppression of Lin Yicheng, the current Korean wave in China is not as rampant as it was in the past. Letting a person like Xiao Haibao, who is "in Cao's camp but his heart is in Han", continue to stay in Korea will be more helpful to Lin Yicheng's future plan.

The six characters that Lin Yicheng took away were the first male protagonist, the big boss behind the scenes, the boss of the entire thieves gang who organized and planned to steal the "Tears of the Sun", and Macau Park.

Lin Yicheng has not yet decided who should play this role.

Wire rope master, Anycall.

In the original version, this is the character played by Jun Ji-hyun. As long as there is "theft", she will participate in it regardless of the consequences. She is a wire theft expert who regards the chips as more important than anything else.

This character can be said to be the most outstanding and memorable one in the movie.

Lin Yicheng has already been decided, and Gao Yuanyuan will play the role.

Vault Expert, PepsiCo.

The expert safe-stealer who won't let go of any item in his hands may look very cool on the outside, but he has deep wounds on the inside.

Lin Yicheng didn't even consider such a role and directly chose Guo Zhenni.

As for whether there will be any conflict with Zi Xuan from "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" in her hands, it is not a problem at all.

They are all their own dramas, so just adjust their schedules.

Besides, what if it really happened?

This is the actor chosen by Lin Yicheng. Who dares to jump out and blame Guo Zhenni?

Chen, the boss of the Chinese thieves gang.

He seems to be gentle and elegant in appearance, but he is actually cruel and ruthless.

In the previous life, this role was played by Simon Yam.

This time, Lin Yicheng didn't think much about it and decided on Dong Shu and Wang Jinsong.

When the time comes, when Uncle Dong puts on his gold-rimmed glasses, his aura of a big boss and hero will naturally come to the fore.

Andrew, the route expert.

Responsible for diverting attention and keeping watch, covering other thieves, and carrying guns.

This is a somewhat funny character.

After consideration, Lin Yicheng decided to let Huang Bo play the role.

Although this is only a supporting role, Huang Bo has now become the newly crowned Golden Horse Award winner.

But when he heard the call from Lin Yicheng, his boss and benefactor, he still ran over happily and took on the role happily.

The last character is the villain in the play.

Wei Hong.

In the original version, the actor didn't look like a big boss at all.

He doesn't look like a prince even when he puts on the dragon robe.

Although there may be a possibility that "there are great people hiding in the city".

But Lin Yicheng changed it directly.

What we want is that kind of grandeur - if the villains are not strong, how can we highlight the power of the protagonists?
Lin Yicheng hasn't decided who should play this role.

Uncle Dong already has another role.

Under Wang Jinghua's 18 Culture, both Chen Daoming, You Yong and Liu Wei are quite suitable.

We'll see when the time comes.
-
The roles given to Huang Chunrong are:

The leader of a Korean thief group, Popeye is in charge of transactions and can sell out everyone just to take the diamond for himself. He is a despicable and greedy person.

A novice thief who is responsible for operating the wire.

An acting expert who drinks all day long and uses his excellent acting skills to gain the trust of others.

Julie is a thief on the surface, but in fact she is an undercover police agent.

And Johnny, who has little presence and is basically just a supporting role.

Apart from the role of Zang Pano, which Lin Yicheng designated to be played by a little seal, he didn't worry about anything else.

The role script has been sent to Huang Chunrong, and he just needs to follow it.

While Lin Yicheng was busy confirming the actors, the employees of Xinghe Film and Television Company were also busy.

A team of dozens of people, led by Zhou Chenggong, had already set off for Bangzi in advance.

Due to the nature of the film, almost all of the plot will be shot in Korea.

In addition to exploring filming locations and coordinating with the Korean team, the most important task for this team was to build a studio in advance according to Lin Yicheng's requirements - one of the most important backgrounds of the film, the casino.

In fact, there are casinos in South Korea, and they are operated legally.

However, Lin Yicheng didn’t want to promote their casino—even if he had to cover up and replace the casino’s real name.

Lin Yicheng knew very well how the casinos in Korea made money - Koreans were not allowed to enter, only foreign tourists were allowed to enter.

A large proportion of these foreign tourists come from China.

How could Lin Yicheng help the Koreans to make money from their compatriots?
Even though most of these domestic compatriots are gamblers, some even use Korean casinos to launder money or transfer property.

Lin Yicheng was unwilling to let the Koreans profit for nothing.

Except for the casinos in Korea.

After learning that Lin Yicheng's new film project had been launched, a family in Macau that made its fortune from casinos also sent people to contact Galaxy Film and Television Company.

Want to provide venue sponsorship.

Lin Yicheng directly rejected it.

He didn't want to have any dealings with that family.

Even though they seem to be very clean now, they are actually very dirty underneath.
-
Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province.

"Fuck, that idiot Lin Yicheng is going to make a movie to cheat people out of money again."

After seeing the news online, Ma Yingjun closed the webpage cursing.

Then he opened Weibo again and looked at the private messages.

The last time, after that person "Wu Xin Sheng Liu Cheng Yin" contacted him, there has been no movement or follow-up news since then.

However, Ma Yingjun thought that this person was a coward.

But when he thought of those "gentle and lovely girls" the other party mentioned, Ma Yingjun felt like many little bugs crawling in his heart.

These days, whenever he falls asleep, he always dreams of several beautiful girls in cool clothes, flirting with him and shouting "Brother Xiao Ma, come quickly"...

"Damn it, this is really dishonest."

Looking at the chat record with "Wuxinshengliuliuchengyin" in the private message chat, Ma Yingjun cursed again.

Ma Yingjun, feeling a little annoyed, was just about to close his Weibo account, thinking that out of sight, out of mind.

Skillful.

There is news about the "willow trees that grew into shades unexpectedly".

Ma Yingjun couldn't wait to open it.

"Mr. Ma, what do you think about this?"

This annoying little goblin is finally here!

Ma Yingjun quickly typed a message and sent it.

"Sure, I do."

"Well, welcome to join our team."

Seeing the other party's words, Ma Yingjun's eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment, he seemed to see countless "gentle and lovely girls" waving at him.

However, before Ma Yingjun could continue to get excited, the other party sent him another message.

"However, if you want to become one of us, you need to pass the assessment. Do you agree?"

"Fuck! There are so many bullshit!"

Ma Yingjun cursed again.

However, for the sake of those "gentle and lovely girls", Ma Yingjun, who has always been a man of strong character and would not accept anything given out of pity, decided to endure it for the time being.

"What exactly is the assessment?"

Ma Yingjun asked.

"Excuse me, do you know anything about the famous female star XXX? What is your impression of her?"

Seeing what the other party said, Ma Yingjun couldn't help but rub his eyes. After making sure that he was not mistaken, his not very smart brain started to work rapidly.

What does it mean?
Two possibilities.

The first one is that the other party wants to discredit XXX and wants him to be a water army.

The other possibility is that the other party is XXX’s team, and he is also asked to be a water army.

I have a very deep impression of XXX, Ma Yingjun.

This person was once his dream lover and the only white moonlight in his heart!

It’s a pity that since becoming Lin Yicheng’s black fan and turning into a little internet expert, Ma Yingjun has learned a lot of things on the Internet.

Only then did he realize that the real image of this person was not what he had imagined before.

All the previous filters were shattered to the ground.
-
Ma Yingjun was very conflicted.

How should you respond when the other party’s identity is still unclear?
If he speaks his true thoughts, and what if the other person is a member of that person's team, then those "gentle and lovely girls" will have to say goodbye to him completely.

At this moment, Ma Yingjun was scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.

I just hate that I’m not smart enough.

In a hurry, Ma Yingjun noticed the other person's name again - "Unintentional willows grow into shade."

Suddenly, Ma Yingjun had an idea.

He remembered that the other party had given him a hint last time!
Unintentional willows grow into shade...

willow……

This pronunciation...

Ma Yingjun had a guess in his mind.

Although I can't be completely sure yet.

But for those "gentle and lovely girls", Ma Yingjun decided to take a gamble.

"Wow! XXX is my idol! I have liked her for many years!"

"I have watched all her TV series several times. I even went to the cinema to watch the few movies she starred in when she first debuted. Also, I asked a friend to buy her album for me from Rizi..."

Ma Yingjun typed a few words out.

Portray yourself as a die-hard fan who absolutely supports your idol.

Of course, what he said was half true and half false.

When he was infatuated with her, he did watch all her TV series.

It's just those flops, movies and albums whose names I don't even know...

That is pure nonsense.

Ma Yingjun was worried that this "unintentional creation of willows that grew into shade" might doubt the authenticity of his identity, so he specially opened Baidu.

If someone asks him the name of a movie or album, he can immediately give an accurate answer, absolutely disguising it as truthful.

However, the other party seemed to really believe what he said and did not ask too many questions.
-
"So, are you willing to do something for your idol?"

Seeing this, Ma Yingjun was stunned.

what's going on?

From what I hear, is this a plan to have me contribute “voluntarily”? Is this a plan to get something for free?
How can this work!
Not to mention that the man is no longer his idol, even if he still is, he can't work for nothing!

After all, everything you say is fake, only the yuan you get is real.

"Last time, didn't you mention some treatment?"

Ma Yingjun simply copied the treatment content mentioned by the other party and sent it over.

After a long time.

Just when Ma Yingjun was about to get impatient, the other party replied again.

"Those benefits are indeed real, but now it is just the content of the assessment. You will only get those benefits after you pass our assessment and officially join us."

"I really fucked your grandma!"

At this moment, Ma Yingjun wanted to crawl along the Internet cable and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the other person's face!
You can't play with people like this!

"I will endure it."

Ma Yingjun took a few deep breaths.

Force yourself to think more about those fair-skinned girls and those red-skinned girls.

Ma Yingjun typed a sentence quickly.

"Okay, I agree. Now, can you tell me what the assessment is about?"

Perhaps, the other party felt that they had manipulated and pushed the issue enough, and finally stopped hiding it.

The reply came.

Looking at the message sent by the other party on the computer screen.

Ma Yingjun was completely stunned.

"Fuck, can you play like this?"

Ma Yingjun muttered to himself.
