Chapter 315 Lord, do you still remember those days...

In the studio.

This area has been transformed into an extremely realistic casino.

It was filled with gamblers of all kinds.

Most of the guest appearances are by staff seconded from SBS TV station.

A small number of them are extras from Seoul.

"Old Huang, Unit 3, move up two more spaces..."

"Master Ren, the angle of Unit 10's slide rail is wrong. Adjust it another degrees..."

"Old Gu, what are those people in East District 6 doing looking around? If they can't perform, get them out!"

……

Lin Yicheng held a loudspeaker and kept directing the crew.

It is very troublesome to shoot group scenes.

Especially this kind of group play involving hundreds of people.

There can be no problems in any aspect.

Otherwise the shot will be wasted and you will have to shoot it again.

It's nothing but a waste of time and money.

I’m afraid that some problems aren’t noticed during filming, nor during editing, but are discovered by careful and sharp-eyed audiences after the film is released - a mistake.

That would be very embarrassing.

After a long busy time, everything was finally ready.

With the clapperboard from the crew, today's shooting officially began.

The casino manager, played by Zhou Chenggong as a temporary guest star, was walking towards a gambling table with a few of his men.

The casino manager has quite a few scenes.

Usually, this kind of role is played by Wang Liming as a guest star.

However, Wang Liming is now too fat and carefree, which doesn't suit the role.

Zhou Chenggong volunteered, and Lin Yicheng agreed.

"Okay, you can go."

Zhou Chenggong patted a gambler on the back at the gambling table with a very cold tone.

"Why, did I win too much?"

As the gambler spoke, he threw out his chips and continued to bet.

"Please leave immediately, you have been blacklisted."

Zhou Chenggong's voice became even colder.

"Really?"

The gambler turned over his cards and won again.

"Thank you. See you next time."

After hearing his words, Zhou Chenggong sneered, "There won't be a next time."

At this time, the gambler finally stood up and turned around.

It is Macau Park played by Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming raised his eyelids and said meaningfully, "That's hard to say."

Huang Xiaoming walked towards the entrance of the casino, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Brother Chen, let's go fishing on Sunday."

This is a secret code used in the underworld.

This means that new actions are needed.
-
"Crack!"

Hearing Lin Yicheng's voice, everyone in the crew looked towards him.

There is more plot later.

If there is a "click" here, there is a problem.

"Come on."

Lin Yicheng waved towards Huang Xiaoming.

"Director Lin."

Huang Xiaoming hurried over.

"Take a look for yourself."

Lin Yicheng pointed at the monitor and said.

Huang Xiaoming obediently watched the clip he had just filmed.

No problems found.

"Director Lin, did I do something wrong?"

Huang Xiaoming said nervously.

This was his first scene after joining the crew, but he failed miserably.

Huang Xiaoming was very worried about whether Lin Yicheng would have any opinion of him, or even replaced him out of dissatisfaction.

"Tell me, what is this character like?"

Lin Yicheng asked.

"Macau Park is a man who hides his true intentions and has a lot of scheming..."

Huang Xiaoming answered without hesitation.

"Then look at what you are acting in."

Huang Xiaoming watched the replay again.

I immediately discovered my problem.

"Director Lin, I understand. My aura is not right. Next time, I will hold back my performance."

In the replay, his walking posture and speaking tone were all wrong.

He felt as if he wished all eyes were focused on him.

His character is a thief.

If a thief were really like this, he should have died eight hundred times already.

"Yeah. Go ahead."

Lin Yicheng nodded.

Speaking of which, Brother Xiao Ming's generation, who were able to survive and fight their way out of the cruel environment of the domestic entertainment industry back then, all have acting skills.

It's just that, as they have been performing for so long and so many times, it is inevitable that certain habits or stereotypes will be formed.

It's almost like being yourself in any role.

If no one points it out to them, it will be difficult for them to discover it themselves - they are surrounded by flattery and praise, who would not get lost?
Many so-called "old actors" are like this.

Of course the acting is there, but to say how good it is is nonsense.

But he has the qualifications - he has eaten more salt than others have eaten rice.

Over time, he became a veteran actor.

The second time, Huang Xiaoming's performance was much better.

But Lin Yicheng still felt that it was not enough.

After securing two more passes, it was considered passed.
-
The next plot is about the Chinese thieves team being introduced through this phone call from Macau Park.

Brother Chen played by Uncle Dong, Andrew played by Huang Bo, and Johnny played by a Korean actor who doesn't deserve a name.

And Julie, who will appear later and is played by a Korean actress who also doesn't deserve to have a name.

In the original version, when Macau Park called, Brother Chen’s team was robbing a gold shop.

This paragraph is quite interesting.

On the surface, the Hong Kong Island police were quick to leave the country—once the alarm sounded, they arrived at the scene within five minutes.

But if you think about it carefully, the Koreans really have no good intentions - they are secretly mocking those Sirs.

The atmosphere in the gold shop was obviously tense. Brother Chen had put a pistol under the newspaper with most of the gun exposed. The female clerk had written a message for help on a tissue...

There were so many suspicious things and even loopholes, but Sir didn't notice them at all.

Are their eyes used to vent anger?

Lin Yicheng did not change this part.

If it were the mainland police, they would definitely change it.

But as Sir, it doesn’t matter.

Their real abilities and qualities, as shown in the movie, are already compliments to them.
-
Before we knew it, it was already the end of April.

Although Lin Yicheng was filming on the crew, many things in the company still depended on him.

Especially various projects, all need Lin Yicheng's approval.

Yang Qing has already started preparations for "The Unknown".

The male lead played by Chen Jianbin in the original version was replaced by Zhang Jiayi.

First of all, Zhang Jiayi is an artist of Star Culture and one of our own.

Furthermore, after working together twice in "Crazy Nightclub" and "Love Is Not Blind", Yang Qing was very impressed with Zhang Jiayi and his acting skills.

Although Lin Yicheng had given Yang Qing autonomy, Yang Qing was sensible enough not to abuse it - after consulting Lin Yicheng's opinion, he finally decided on Zhang Jiayi.

For the role of the hero’s sister, the paralyzed one, Yang Qing chose Hai Qing, who is also under Star Culture.

Lin Yicheng had no objection to this.

Hai Qing is quite suitable in terms of both image and acting skills.

The other characters were easy to deal with, but when it came to the "stupid thief duo" - Glasses and Curly, Yang Qing was in a dilemma.

Yang Qing’s first impression was to find the “graduate school duo”, Wang Shuangbao and Badu, to continue their cooperation.

After all, the performances of these two in the movie "Crazy Racing" directed by him were exceptionally brilliant.

Yang Qing also wanted to come up with a gimmick of "the original crew of "Crazy Racing" teaming up again."

Unfortunately.

The age and image of the "Graduate Entrance Examination Duo" are somewhat inappropriate.

Yang Qing had no choice but to continue asking Lin Yicheng for help.

After considering it, Lin Yicheng pointed out two people to him.

Huang Haibo and Yue Xiaojun.
-
There is nothing much to say about Huang Haibo's acting skills.

He can play the role of Ding Li well, so the role of "Glasses" with vigor and vitality is even more of a piece of cake for him.

Huang Haibo is an old employee of Star Culture. He has always been conscientious and hardworking, and never causes any trouble.

Lin Yicheng saw it and kept it in mind.

Now that we have the role of "Glasses", which can show his face and attract fans, of course it should be given to Huang Haibo.

Yue Xiaojun has no problem playing Curly, he easily handles this kind of silly and funny loser role.

By the way, Yue Xiaojun had followed Lin Yicheng's arrangement and went to the coal boss to work with Liu Kang to make a horror film.

Liu Jiang is in charge of directing, and Yue Xiaojun is in charge of writing and performing.

The two of them worked together very happily.

But it doesn't work after a long time.

Yue Xiaojun's waist couldn't bear it anymore.

Judging from his appearance, he might have been a little weak.

Yue Xiaojun really couldn't stand such a long and intensive exchange of acting skills with various actresses.

Liu Kang has returned to Xinghe Film and Television.

Yue Xiaojun cried and begged to come back - he called Lin Yicheng and asked Lin Yicheng to let him come back for the sake of their old brotherhood and the future inheritance of the Yue family.

Lin Yicheng agreed.

It was just right to put him into the crew of "Nobody" so that this comedy film could bring him some good luck.

It is said that after Yue Xiaojun had in-depth communications with those actresses many times, some shadows seemed to be left in his heart.

I often have nightmares.

The key is that after being awakened by a nightmare, I saw the actress who played the ghost lying next to me, sleeping in the same bed with me. That feeling...

Fortunately, Yue Xiaojun's psychological quality is still good.

If it were someone else, there would be a problem that they would never be able to pass the exam.

For example, those coal bosses.

At first, he was very keen on sending his honey to appear in horror movies.

As a result, after a few films, those honeys disappeared.

I really don't dare to give it away anymore. In the play "Nobody", Lin Yicheng made some changes to the script.

A lot of the scenes in the original version that involved interactions between the protagonist’s daughter and the boss’s son were deleted.

Especially the final part about the student battle, which was directly deleted.

The protagonist's plot, the "stupid thief duo's" plot, the police's plot, the boss's plot...

That's enough.

There's no need to add unnecessary fluff.

Besides, during that period, more than a hundred students took to the streets, holding badminton rackets, baseball bats and other things, ready to fight...

What does this mean? What does it reflect? What does it encourage?
Lin Yicheng didn't want to cause trouble for himself or Xinghe Film and Television.

Just delete it.
-
The film's matters have been arranged properly, but there are still problems with Liu Kang.

When Lin Yicheng was leaving, he left several scripts for Liu Kang to choose from.

Liu Kang selected two.

Nothing But Thirty and All Is Well.

I plan to shoot Nothing But Thirty first, and then All Is Well, and finish all of them within a year.

Lin Yicheng agreed with this.

Liu Kang is a veteran and a quick shooter, and he has experience in nearly a hundred horror films, so it is no problem for him to shoot two TV series a year.

The key lies in the casting of "Nothing But Thirty".

Liu Kang didn't know what he was thinking.

I think Fan Xiaopang is very suitable for the role of Wang Manni - she is the only one who can play it.

Liu Kang got excited and went to the agency department with the script to find Fan Xiaopang.

Then, nothing more.

Are you kidding me?
TV series is fine.

There's nothing wrong with urban emotional dramas.

The key director is Liu Kang, not Lin Yicheng!
As Lin Yicheng's "official heroine", Fan Xiaopang now only shoots movies that don't feature Lin Yicheng.

What's more, "Nothing But Thirty" is an ensemble drama.

The three female protagonists have almost the same roles.

It is said that the way Fan Xiaopang looked at Liu Kang at that time was no different from looking at an idiot.

Do you know who I am?
How about you go out and ask around first?
Today, Emperor Gong is very old.

"International Zhang" has just gone through the "Triple Gate" and her image is no longer there.

"Wearing flowery clothes" has long since turned into "wearing funeral clothes", and the grass on the grave is more than one meter high.

"Master Zhou" first reduced his works, and then finally contributed a classic role in "Painted Skin", but was dragged down by the events of the former.

Not to mention "Xu Cairen", Shuoge Run is gone, Huayi collapsed, and the Beijing circle is basically dead, so what's the point of her still jumping around...

Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, in such a big world, there is not a single person who can compete!
Fan Xiaopang is undoubtedly the number one female star in the current domestic entertainment industry—the type that feels lonely at the top and seeks to defeat the enemy alone.

You, Liu Gang, let Fan Xiaopang play Wang Manni. Are you okay? Do you want to eat a Liuliumei to wake up your brain?

Liu Kang was in a state of disgrace.

Then, he made another bold move and set his sights on Gao Yuanyuan - he was going to let Gao Yuanyuan play Wang Manni.

After receiving the invitation, Gao Yuanyuan was initially interested.

Now, she likes roles with complex personalities - roles that provide her with room to "show off" her acting skills.

Let’s look at the description of Wang Manni in the script—she is 30 years old and has a beautiful face, a smart mind, and is eager to realize her life value through her own struggles…

These contents are so suitable for Gao Yuanyuan and they touch her heart so much.

When Gao Yuanyuan learned that Liu Kang was willing to wait for her schedule and join the crew after she finished filming "The Heist", she was already moved.

She was planning to ask Wang Jinghua to help her take on the role.

But I heard a piece of news from Wang Jinghua - Fan Xiaopang didn't want this role.

Gao Yuanyuan suddenly became angry.

What do you mean?
Man, the man I, Da Meiyuan, use is the one you, Fan Xiaopang, used before. He is already a second-hand man.

That’s nothing, my daughter Meiyuan also feels very comfortable using it.

Now, you want me, Da Meiyuan, to play the role that you, Fan Xiaopang, left over and didn’t like?

What has become of my great beauty? You can't bully others like this!

only.

Gao Yuanyuan was angry, but she didn't dare to vent her anger on Fan Xiaopang.

So she turned the gun around and called Liu Kang.

He attacked Liu Kang right away and insulted him in a sarcastic manner.
-
Liu Kang was panicked, really panicked.

I just want to make a TV show.

How did I suddenly offend two boss ladies at once?
Liu Kang had no choice.

I can only call Lin Yicheng.

Ask for help.

She spoke so aggrievedly and cried so sadly.

The general meaning, translated is——

My lord, do you still remember the "Zhao Zilong of Changshan" who fought for you seven times and made great contributions to your Tang Dynasty at the foot of Baideng Mountain?

After receiving Liu Kang's call, Lin Yicheng was a little amused.

Fortunately, Jingtian is young.

If Jing Tian's age was not a problem, Liu Gang would find Jing Tian again...

He really offended all the members of his "harem".

Even if Liu Kang was still alive, it would be more painful than being dead.

However, Liu Gang was indeed a hero.

If you are asked to make a TV series, then make a TV series; if you are asked to make a horror movie, then make a horror movie.

Always at your service, loyal and devoted.

Lin Yicheng cannot disappoint the heroes who have made great contributions.

So, Lin Yicheng cut the Gordian knot and directly assigned him three candidates for the female lead.

Wang Manni——Li Xiaoran.

Gu Jia——Qin Lan.

Zhong Xiaoqin——Sun Li.

Lin Yicheng was very satisfied with his choice.

It’s so suitable and so fitting.

Especially Qin Lan and Sun Li.

In her previous life, Qin Lan was very kind to Lu Tailang, and gave him both her heart and money. What was the result?
Rikutaro abandoned her in the blink of an eye.

In this life, Rikutaro went to meet his Showa locust early.

Qin Lan hadn't been hurt that deeply.

The role of Gu Jia, whose husband, whom she had supported with all her strength, cheated on her, was given to her by Lin Yicheng, who gave her a reminder - Lanlan, you'd better be more careful.

Zhong Xiaoqin gave it to Sun Li for similar reasons.

Zhong Xiaoqin in the play is in a marital crisis.

Look at Sun Li’s husband, Huang Shitou…

After all, she was the woman with whom he had once tasted red wine, so Lin Yicheng could only use this method to kindly remind her.
-
Sympathy is sympathy, and interests are interests.

These are two different things.

Sun Li is an artist of Tangren and a member of the "Galaxy".

Of course there is no problem giving her the role.

Li Xiaoran and Qin Lan are not like that.

Lin Yicheng specifically instructed Liu Kang.

Li Xiaoran and Qin Lan, if they want to get a role, they have to join the "Galaxy" - Star Culture, 18 Culture or Tangren, they can choose.

This condition is not excessive.

I believe that neither Li Xiaoran nor Qin Lan would refuse.

Don’t think that Liu Kang was rejected by Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan one after another.

But he is also a well-known figure in the TV drama circle.

Many female celebrities want to be in Liu Kang's dramas, but they don't have the chance.

Not to mention, this is a play produced by Xinghe Film and Television Company, and the script was written by Lin Yicheng, the "master of clicks".

The actresses outside are going to be beaten to a pulp!
What's more, it's a great thing to be able to join the "Galaxy".

Everyone knows that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade.

Nowadays, among the actors in the circle, who doesn’t envy the artists under “Galaxy”?

There is an endless supply of resources and roles.

The key is to be able to hold your head high when you go outside and not be afraid of being bullied by anyone!

In the circle, there are countless artists who want to join the "Galaxy" but cannot.

no way.

“Galaxy” has too strict standards for artists.

If there are any problems, or any bad tendencies or signs, don’t accept them!
Lin Yicheng also made some changes to the script of "Nothing But Thirty".

Some content that is too perverse has been deleted or modified.

Although there are still many things like petty bourgeoisie, materialism, selfishness, and unspoken rules in the workplace, they are not a big deal.

Filming this kind of content does not mean supporting these things.

It can also be criticism or irony.

Speaking of which, in the previous life, the original version of "Nothing But Thirty" was indeed criticized in various ways.

But if the original version was broadcast in 2010, the criticism would probably be much smaller.

If it had been aired in 2000, there probably wouldn’t have been any criticism!

Different times and backgrounds lead to different audience demands and standards.

Just like the movie "Desire" back then.

Looking back 40 years later.

Many of the plots and contents in the film are also distorted in terms of values.

Many movies and TV series have turned from classics into garbage after being washed away by the long river of time.

There are also many film and television dramas that, after experiencing the baptism of time, have turned from rubble into pearls.

All I can say is that each version has its own way of playing.
-
All the matters related to "Nobody" and "Nothing But Thirty" have been dealt with.

Lin Yicheng still has no time to rest.

Fatty Yu came over again.

As soon as they met, he told Lin Yicheng that Bona's housework had been settled.

The company with the prefix Bona has three major shareholders.

The biggest one among them withdrew.

Without a leader, the rest of the people become scattered sand.

The voices calling for listing in the United States suddenly became much weaker.

Lin Yicheng didn't ask how Fatty Yu drove away the major shareholder.

I think it is nothing more than - killing someone with a borrowed knife, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, playing hard to get, making friends far away and attacking those near, sowing discord, killing three warriors with two peaches...

One or more of these.

Fatty Yu took over the shares left by that man while preparing for a counterattack.

However, Fatty Yu knew that he could only suppress those people temporarily.

It is not easy to completely defeat those people and successfully regain Bona’s voice.

We also have to be careful to guard against those people's relapses.

Fatty Yu can't handle the whole thing alone and is not strong enough.

Therefore, I thought of Lin Yicheng, my iron ally.

He wanted Lin Yicheng to invest in Bona and give him a helping hand.
