Chapter 316 Baoer, do you want a performance award? (asking for monthly tickets)
Hearing Fatty Yu's request, Lin Yicheng fell silent.

Investing in Bona has both advantages and disadvantages for Lin Yicheng.

Let’s talk about the benefits first.

Since listening to Lin Yicheng's advice, Fatty Yu has brought back a lot of batch films from Hollywood.

Although most of them are flops, there are few dark horse hits.

Fortunately, the cost is low, and as long as one movie becomes a hit, it will be enough to recover all the costs.

We approve dozens of films every year, and when you calculate the overall profit, we make quite a bit of money.

In addition, since cooperating with Lin Yicheng, Bona has made a lot of money.

Nowadays, among private film and television companies, Bona's performance ranks second only to Galaxy Film and Television, and is much stronger than the third-ranked Guangguang.

In addition, the cinema chain that Bona has just acquired has already become one of the top six cinema chains in China.

He also holds two of the former "three great directors", Zhang Yimou and Feng Kuazi.

Don't have too many favorable conditions.

When Bona is listed in China, the shares held by Lin Yicheng will be worth a lot of money.

It's almost like picking up money for free.

Originally, Lin Yicheng had been concerned that if Bona became more powerful in the future, the alliance relationship with Galaxy Film and Television would become unstable.

If he invests in Bona, they will truly be a family from then on.

Some potential threats also disappeared completely.

As for the disadvantages.

Also obvious.

The water in Bona is too deep and too muddy.

Although the major shareholder of the company with the Bona prefix has withdrawn.

But those that remain are no match for each other.

Take off their identities and take a look.

Oh~
His ancestors and fathers were either nobles during the Hongwu reign or heroes in the Jingnan Campaign.

They are all from prominent backgrounds.

With Lin Yicheng's current status and position, he is not afraid of them, but there is no need to get involved with them.
-
Lin Yicheng had something in mind and was about to speak.

Fatty Yu spoke.

"25, I'll give you 25% of the shares, and you can decide the price."

Fatty Yu's words were sincere and heartfelt.

"Brother, for the sake of our friendship, please help me."

Lin Yicheng was stunned when he heard this.

As far as he knew, even if Fatty Yu took back part of the shares, it would only be a little over 50%, less than 60%.

Did not obtain absolute controlling rights.

Fatty Yu can give 25% of the shares.

It can be said to be full of sincerity - it really cost a lot of money.

In its previous life, Guangxian was able to reach a peak market value of over 600 billion.

In this life, Bona’s market value should be no less than 600 billion.

In this way, Lin Yicheng's 25% shares are worth more than billion yuan.

Lin Yicheng was moved.

"Brother, are you sure?"

Lin Yicheng asked again.

"If you don't believe it, we can sign the share transfer agreement now."

Fatty Yu's words were so decisive.

"That's not necessary."

Lin Yicheng waved his hand.

I quickly calculated in my mind.

The benefits are clear—big, enormous.

As for the disadvantages.

Lin Yicheng really doesn't care.

Don’t be fooled by those people’s impressive backgrounds.

But no matter how awesome you are, what does it matter?
After two years, whose background will be greater than Lin Yicheng's?
What's more, by that time, it would be a big question mark whether their background would still exist.

This vote is worth it!
Lin Yicheng made a decision immediately.

"How about this, I'll have someone estimate the value of Bona later, and I'll give you whatever the 25% stake is worth."

Lin Yicheng spoke.

"No need, really no need..."

Fatty Yu was about to refuse but was interrupted by Lin Yicheng.

"Brother, we should settle accounts clearly. Besides, you are short of money right now and need money everywhere. I can't take advantage of you."

Lin Yicheng's words were very beautiful.

Bona has not yet been listed and the domestic market has not exploded.

According to current estimates, Bona’s market value is at most a few billion.

It’s just the price difference of one or two small goals, and Lin Yicheng is unwilling to take advantage of this small advantage.

Let's do things openly and honestly now. When Bona's market value rises in the future, Fatty Yu will no longer feel that he was taken advantage of by Lin Yicheng when he thinks back on today.
-
"Brother, I won't say anything more. I'll offer you a glass of tea instead of wine."

As he spoke, Fatty Yu picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

The warm tea felt very soothing to the fat man.

Fatty Yu is not a fool, but rather very smart.

Of course, we know that the original shares given away now will definitely appreciate significantly after Bona goes public.

He had his reasons for being willing to give so much.

Even though he successfully persuaded the major shareholder to withdraw, he still temporarily gained the upper hand within Bona.

But this advantage is not stable.

Even if he had a lot of leverage over those people, it wouldn't work.

Those people are ruthless and will eat people without leaving any bones.

If they were really pushed to the limit, the fat guy's small body would not be able to bear it.

But if Lin Yicheng is also introduced to Bona, the situation will be different.

Fatty Yu knew Lin Yicheng's background very well.

Not inferior to those people at all.

This is called driving a tiger to devour a wolf.

If Lin Yicheng wants to actually get the benefits of 25% of the shares, he has to help Fatty Yu deal with those people and fully assist Bona in successfully listing in the country.

Otherwise, no matter how many shares you have, they will just be flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

More than that.

Fatty Yu’s little plan was also very clear.

Lin Yicheng has become a shareholder of Bona, and he will have to pay more attention to Bona's film and television projects in the future.

With Lin Yicheng, the "midas touch", in charge, Fatty Yu has more confidence in Bona's project.

What's more, with Lin Yicheng's investment, the outside world will be more optimistic about Bona's prospects.

Once it goes public, its market value will surely skyrocket.

The most important thing is that Fatty Yu has a relatively good understanding of Lin Yicheng's character.

They have a "Galaxy" that is bigger and more valuable than Bona's.

There is no need to worry that after Lin Yicheng comes, he will seize power from him or even take over his position.

After comprehensive consideration, Fatty Yu made this decision with great courage and determination.

Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf.

Although it is painful to pay now, Fatty Yu is doing it for the future.

Looking at Lin Yicheng who also raised his glass to gesture, Fatty Yu smiled happily, and Lin Yicheng also smiled.

They both felt that their relationship with each other had become much closer again.

In this wave, both people got what they needed, and it was a win-win situation.

Since we are already a family.

Bona’s affairs are also Lin Yicheng’s affairs.

About how to deal with those people, or even drive them out of Bona completely.

Lin Yicheng and Fatty Yu had a long secret conversation - all the afternoon shooting was stopped.

Because of the sensitive nature of the matter, the specific content cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

Anyway, after the talk, when Fatty Yu was leaving, his steps were brisk and he seemed to feel a lot lighter.
-
After seeing Fatty Yu off, Lin Yicheng reassembled the crew to catch up with the progress.

Shooting night scenes.

Taking advantage of the night, we shot the outdoor scenes first.

Brother Chen played by Uncle Dong, Andrew played by Huang Bo, and Johnny played by a Korean actor who doesn't deserve a name, came out to pick up people after successfully robbing the gold shop.

The next character is Julie, played by a Korean actress who also doesn't deserve a name.

As he had to cooperate with the Korean team, the cunning Brother Chen was not confident in handing over the task of opening the safe to the Koreans.

So he found Julie, the daughter of a former accomplice.

Julie appears to be an expert at opening safes, but in fact she is an undercover agent of Interpol.

In this way, every move of the Chinese and Korean gangs of thieves will be under the eyes of the police.

This scene was not difficult to shoot, as it mainly consisted of dialogues and it was done in one take.

After the filming, Lin Yicheng led the crew back to the studio without stopping.

The thief gangs of the two countries are both elites in the industry and neither is willing to submit to the other.

When meeting for the first time, verbal tests and confrontations are inevitable.

The next thing to shoot is this part.

In the restaurant.

The Chinese and Korean gangs of thieves met.

Right from the start, the situation was tense.

On the way here, the Chinese people teased the Koreans, saying, "Korean people always love to lie."

Wait till we meet.

The Korean thieves, Anycall played by Gao Yuanyuan, Popeye played by Lee Jung-jae, and Zang Pano played by Little Seal, are sitting around a table drinking tea.

They also pointed fingers at the Chinese thieves: "They look so fierce", "They are a bunch of idiots, they only know how to pretend", "Be careful, the Chinese are the best at robbing each other"...

Seeing the Chinese thieves approaching, Lee Jung-jae asked his companions to smile while muttering under his breath: "Idiot, it's so hot, and you're wearing so many clothes."

When the movie is released, the audience will definitely stop and look at what the Chinese thieves are wearing.

Skillful.

The clothes worn by the Chinese thieves were all conspicuous HL brands.

This is a skillful way of implantation, just right.
-
When he saw the beautiful Gao Yuanyuan, Andrew, played by Huang Bo, spoke.

"Korean girls are still pretty."

"You can tell it's plastic surgery. All Korean women have had plastic surgery."

Julie on the side continued.

The actress herself is Korean, so it’s only fitting for her to say this.

It's not Lin Yicheng who slandered or defamed you Korean women, but your own people who said so.

"I'm going to try some Korean tofu."

Huang Bo said to his companions.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll go and give them a warning."

After taking a few steps closer, Huang Bo's face showed a somewhat frivolous, or even lewd smile.

"Oh, the girl is pretty."

Huang Bo patted Gao Yuanyuan's shoulder vigorously and continued, "She still looks pretty good after plastic surgery."

Huang Bo picked up the teapot again and poured a cup of tea for Gao Yuanyuan.

Anycall, played by Gao Yuanyuan, is Korean and cannot understand Chinese, so she asks Zang Pano, played by Xiao Haibao, who is an overseas Chinese.

"What did this rice noodle head uncle say to me?"

Without waiting for the little seal to translate, Huang Bo spoke again.

"I didn't trust Koreans in the first place, but when I saw you, I was ready."

Huang Bo said the last sentence "I'm ready" when he leaned close to Gao Yuanyuan's head.

It has a strong hint of teasing or provocation.

At this time, the little seal took over the line and first cursed Huang Bo: "Sit down, bastard."

Then he translated for Gao Yuanyuan: "He just asked you if you had plastic surgery on your face?"

After hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan's expression changed immediately.

It's like a cat whose tail is stepped on - its fur stands on end.

Gao Yuanyuan stood up in a flash.

He pointed at Huang Bo and started cursing.

"You stupid pig-headed uncle, do you know how difficult it is to have a natural beauty like me?"

Huang Bo wanted to pat Gao Yuanyuan's shoulder again, but the little seal grabbed his hand.

"You don't want to live anymore?"

"How dare you arrest me?"

Huang Bo sneered and wanted to resist, but he was not as strong as the little seal and could not resist.

No matter how much you resist, it won’t work.

Huang Bo was extremely angry.

He pulled out a .38 pistol from his waist and pointed it at the little seal's chest.

"Believe it or not, I can kill you with one shot?"

Huang Bo asked arrogantly.

Seeing Huang Bo pulling out his gun, both China and South Korea could no longer sit still.

As the bosses, Uncle Dong and Lee Jung-jae hurried over to stop it.

Uncle Dong snatched Huang Bo's .38 rifle and ejected the bullets from the magazine.

He quickly apologized to the little seal: "I'm sorry."

The little seal just let it go and said it was okay.

The atmosphere had already eased, but Huang Bo waved at Gao Yuanyuan again in a frivolous manner.

How could Gao Yuanyuan spoil him?
He picked up the teapot and poured it towards Huang Bo.

It splashed right in his face.
-
This plot is simple to explain.

The filming process was not smooth.

Keep NGing - the problems are all with the little seal and Gao Yuanyuan.

Look at the poor performance of these two "Wolong" and "Fengchu".

Lin Yicheng was a little overwhelmed.

Unfortunately, one is his woman and the other is an actor he specifically selected.

What else can Lin Yicheng do?
I had no choice but to accompany them and keep making mistakes.

that's it.

When the little seal grabbed Huang Bo's wrist, he either didn't grab it accurately or didn't use the right amount of force.

It was such a simple action, but I had to shoot it four or five times.

So is Gao Yuanyuan.

She didn’t know if it was because Huang Bo patted her shoulder too hard and her hand was a little unsteady.

When Gao Yuanyuan splashed water on Huang Bo, it either hit his chest or hit his face and missed.

It took six pots of water to finally succeed.

It would have been fine if Huang Bo was forced to keep changing clothes.

The point is, to show authenticity.

The water in the teapot is really warm, about 40 degrees Celsius.

Huang Bo's face turned red after being splashed.

During the last repetition, his screams were not just acting; it really hurt.

Gao Yuanyuan was also very embarrassed and kept apologizing to Huang Bo.

Even if Huang Bo had some thoughts in his mind, he couldn't show it on his face - this was the big boss's woman, how could he dare to offend her?
I could only comfort Gao Yuanyuan and tell her not to worry about it.
-
It was such a simple plot, but we took until after 11 o'clock in the evening to finally finish filming.

Back in the hotel room, Gao Yuanyuan was like a child who had done something wrong. She lowered her head, embarrassed to look at Lin Yicheng.

Seeing Gao Yuanyuan's aggrieved look, Lin Yicheng's anger disappeared completely.

However, the matter still needs to be resolved.

Gao Yuanyuan's role is second only to Huang Xiaoming's.

If she continues to mess up like this, it will greatly delay the filming progress.

"Can you tell me what's going on with you?"

Lin Yicheng hugged Gao Yuanyuan, patted her back gently, and asked softly.

He knew that Gao Yuanyuan was a poor actress.

But it shouldn't be this bad, right?
Let’s not talk about anything else, didn’t she play the role of Zhou Zhiruo very well?
"I, I just..."

Gao Yuanyuan spoke hesitantly.

"What is it?"

Lin Yicheng was a little anxious.

If Gao Yuanyuan was so hesitant at a certain time or in a certain action, Lin Yicheng would certainly be more than happy.

But now we are solving the problem, could you please be more straightforward, sister?

"That's right, I really want to play this role well, and I really want to perform well in front of you."

After Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking, she buried her head in Lin Yicheng's chest and kept rubbing it.

When Lin Yicheng heard this, he was stunned at first.

Then it dawned on me.

Speaking of which, "The Heist" was the first drama that Gao Yuanyuan collaborated with him after they confirmed their relationship.

Gao Yuanyuan must attach great importance to it and feel pressured.

It was fine at first, the pressure turned into motivation.

Gao Yuanyuan’s previous performances were not outstanding, but at least they were slightly better than her own.

It’s a pity that Gao Yuanyuan was really upset yesterday—the incident of “Nothing But Thirty”.

After learning the truth, Gao Yuanyuan faced the gap between her and Fan Xiaopang for the first time.

That's not ordinary big.

The role she was so attracted to turned out to be someone that Fan Xiaopang discarded like a piece of trash.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, in terms of status, the difference between her and Fan Xiaopang, even if not worlds apart, is incomparable.

If we just talk about appearance, Gao Yuanyuan still has confidence and courage.

But if you add in acting skills and fame, she really can't compare to Fan Xiaopang.

That's far away.

Not to mention, Fan Xiaopang is not just a female star now.

He is also a well-known "fashion designer" and a small shareholder of the HL brand...

In terms of commercial value and earning ability, Gao Yuanyuan can't even catch up.

Even judging by her age, she is two years older than Fan Xiaopang.

To use today's fashionable terms, they can all be considered "older leftover women."

If Lin Yicheng didn't exist, it wouldn't matter if Gao Yuanyuan couldn't beat Fan Xiaopang.

You go your way, and I go mine.

But not now.

Gao Yuanyuan was really afraid that one day Lin Yicheng would suddenly get fed up with her.

Then he gradually distanced himself from her and became cold to her...

For Gao Yuanyuan, who had already invested seriously in this relationship, this was worse than the sky falling.
-
Gao Yuanyuan didn't sleep well last night.

I thought a lot over and over in my mind.

The more I thought about it, the less confident I felt, and the more frustrated I became.

In this situation, wouldn't she be under tremendous pressure?

This is reflected in performance: the more you want to perform well, the worse you perform.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was buried in Lin Yicheng's chest, couldn't help but shed tears.

Lin Yicheng's clothes were soaked.

Lin Yicheng noticed it.

He was very smart and based on Gao Yuanyuan's current appearance and the whole process, he guessed the truth of the matter almost immediately.

In Lin Yicheng's heart, he immediately cursed Liu Kang.

Isn't this just looking for trouble?
Damn it, when I get back I’m going to squeeze this bastard to death!

However, these words cannot be said to Gao Yuanyuan.

"Baoer."

Lin Yicheng called Gao Yuanyuan.

He calls Jing Tian, ​​Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan differently.

Jingtian is a treasure.

Fat Fan is a baby.

Gao Yuanyuan is Baoer.

A wife is a wife, a lover is a lover, a girlfriend is a girlfriend, a baby is a baby, a darling is a darling, and they cannot be confused with each other.

"Ok?"

Gao Yuanyuan raised her head and looked at Lin Yicheng with tears in her eyes.

"Would you like an acting award?"

Lin Yicheng asked.

"Ah I?"

Gao Yuanyuan was stunned.

Although she hasn't won any prestigious awards since her debut, she is very eager for it.

But she still has self-awareness.

Know how good your acting skills are.

Unless the judges were blind, how could she possibly win those awards?
"I, can I?"

Gao Yuanyuan stammered.

"Why not? My Bao'er is beautiful on the outside and intelligent on the inside. How is she any worse than others? If others can win awards, why can't my Bao'er win?"

“Have you ever heard the saying, ‘The world is not short of beauty, but short of eyes to discover beauty.’”

"For you, it means 'It's not that you don't have acting skills, but that you lack the eyes to discover your acting skills.'"

Lin Yicheng just said those nice words without asking for money.

Gao Yuanyuan was deceived and believed it a little.

"No need to wait until later, for this movie, I will make sure you win a proper acting award - Best Actress!"

Lin Yicheng said while the iron was hot.
-
"Really?"

Gao Yuanyuan's big eyes, which were still misty, suddenly shone brightly.

Then, she thought of something else.

"But, but, didn't you say before that your work would not be included in the awards?"

"You don't have to make an exception for me."

Gao Yuanyuan felt a little touched and rubbed Lin Yicheng's chest with her head again.

By the way, I wiped away all the tears on my face.

"Who said we should win a domestic award?"

Lin Yicheng asked back.

"What is that?" Gao Yuanyuan wondered.

"If we want to win, let's win an Asian award. When you become the 'Asian Film Queen', I'll see who will say my Bao Er has no acting skills. If anyone disagrees, let them win one too."

Lin Yicheng said confidently.

Back then, he played a little word game.

I just said that I would not participate in any domestic awards from now on.

But I didn’t say that I won’t participate in foreign awards.

"The Thieves" is very suitable for winning awards - the Busan International Film Festival.

As the largest film festival in Asia, the Busan International Film Festival is definitely of high quality.

At least it is much higher than the Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster awards which have a bad reputation and have lost their authority in China.

Because of the blow suffered by Lin Yicheng, the Hong Kong entertainment industry as a whole is very weak, and their Academy Awards have long become a game of house-playing for children in a small circle.

Even the Golden Horse Awards have lost a lot of value because Lin Yicheng and "Galaxy" never participated.

The influence today is not as great as in the past.

Thanks to the contrast with its peers, the Busan International Film Festival suddenly became more grand.

Helping Gao Yuanyuan win an award was just a byproduct - just to make his woman happy.

Lin Yicheng really wanted to win an award.

After all, he is the "number one director in the country", and it would be unreasonable for him not to have an award of some importance.
-
"The Heist" is a co-production between China and South Korea.

Just looking at this attribute, it is naturally suitable for the Busan International Film Festival.

Not to mention, the Busan International Film Festival is held in South Korea.

In Korea, the chaebols are the ones who really have the final say.

Don’t forget that half of the investment in “The Thieves” comes from South Korea - SBS TV station and several other film and television companies.

For their own interests, these chaebols will also say something and express their intentions.

In this way, it will be a sure thing for "The Thieves" to win an award.

To say something excessive.

Lin Yicheng can get any award he wants.

"You are so nice to me~~"

Gao Yuanyuan, who had no idea what Lin Yicheng was thinking, was inexplicably moved and felt a warm current flowing through her heart.

She didn't misjudge the person, and she didn't trust the wrong person...

Gao Yuanyuan's eyelashes fluttered a few times and her eyes flashed.

"wait for me."

As she spoke, Gao Yuanyuan stood up from Lin Yicheng's arms.

He ran to the refrigerator.

From the freezer, I filled a cup with a few ice cubes.

Ok?
Are we going to have some drinks to celebrate in advance?
Lin Yicheng still hasn't figured out what this means.

Gao Yuanyuan put two ice cubes into her mouth.

Then, he leaned down.

"Sigh~"

Lin Yicheng took a deep breath.

It’s cool. Really cool.

However, his heart was burning with passion.

At this moment, Lin Yicheng seemed to have turned into Zhang Wuji.

Wandering on the island of ice and fire.

Undergoing the baptism and cleansing of the Song of Ice and Fire.

And Gao Yuanyuan is Zhou Zhiruo.

Help him relieve and treat the blockage in his meridians.

Lin Yicheng became happy.

Originally, he had other benefits to give Gao Yuanyuan.

Now it seems that there is no need.

The benefits should be put one by one.

This will achieve the best results.

This time it's A Song of Ice and Fire.

What about next time?

Lin Yicheng couldn't help but look forward to it.

It feels great to be a director.

It feels even better to be a big shot in the entertainment industry!
