Chapter 33 I will be an Asian superstar in the future
After sending Mr. Han away, facing the admiring, awed, and enthusiastic eyes of the crew, Lin Yicheng said, "That's it for today. We'll start work on time tomorrow."

"Okay, Director Lin!"

"No problem Director!"

Everyone responded, and at this moment, Lin Yicheng's authority in the crew reached its peak.

……

The next day, the crew started filming.

It is obvious that everyone has a very proper attitude, especially the staff behind the scenes. After checking the props themselves, they are still not at ease and check them with others again, just to make sure there are no mistakes.

Since the jade is not ready yet, the shooting plan was changed today to shoot the scene where Dao Ge's three men pretend to move.

"Crack!"

"Xiaojun, your expression is wrong. You are nervous and uneasy. You need to show it. The traffic police are checking you now!"

Seeing Yue Xiaojun raise his hand to indicate that he understood, Lin Yicheng ordered: "Attention, all units, start over."

……

"OK! Next one!"

"Lao Wang, when the four of them turn their heads, zoom out and cut to the right spot. Give me about 3 seconds of lead time!"

"Hey, go check. There are audience members entering the camera. Be polite to them."

……

Following Lin Yicheng's command, the crew moved forward in an orderly manner like a clockwork machine.

Lin Yicheng himself became more and more adept, as if he had entered a whole new realm.

It was mid-April, and as the actors were all in good shape, Lin Yicheng wanted to strike while the iron was hot and finish filming the most difficult scenes.

Today's scene is about Xie Xiaomeng being pressed into the toilet and beaten.

Lin Yicheng looked at the toilet prop carefully and frowned, "Please bring the prop over here. The toilet is not old enough. We need to deal with it."

Of course you can't use an old toilet, after all, the person who will be pushed in later is your brother.

So choose a new toilet and make the appearance look old.

"Brother Dao, Heipi, Xiaomeng, the three of you should practice again and try to pass it in one go. Don't let Xiaomeng suffer."

"Director Lin, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Huang Bo grinned, showing his teeth.

Lin Yicheng quickly turned around and gave instructions to Lao Gu.

"Remember, in order to perform in the best possible state, Wang Liming, who played Xie Xiaomeng, insisted on using a real old toilet. After filming, the actor vomited for most of the day and had no appetite for several days afterwards."

After hearing Lin Yicheng's words, the people around him silently gave him a thumbs up. Is he a best-selling novelist? Look at his screenwriting skills, it's really high!

With the tacit cooperation of the three people, the scene where Xie Xiaomeng was beaten was filmed smoothly.

……

It was just noon and the crew had lunch.

Seeing the commander-in-chief waiting for him there, Lin Yicheng hurried over.

"Have you eaten? Let's eat together."

"I ate on the plane." Zong Shuai waved his hand.

"Let's go and chat over there." He handed Zong Shuai a bottle of drink, and the two walked to a quiet corner.

"I followed your instructions and had the media publicize the sale of overseas copyrights. The contract and bill have been given to the company's finance department. You can check them at any time."

"Well, we must handle the relationship with them well." Lin Yicheng nodded.

During this period, "Hello, Old Times" successfully sold the second and third rounds of copyrights, plus DVD audio and video copyrights and online copyrights, earning nearly another 700 million.

The overseas copyrights of several countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia were sold for a total of more than 500 million. The price was not high, but it was a good start. Lin Yicheng valued future profits more.

First, expand your influence and make yourself familiar to the audiences in those countries.

In addition, his novels and albums have also sold well there. To be frank, Lin Yicheng can now deserve the title of "Asian Superstar".

This is more authentic than some Hong Kong and Taiwan stars!

"We've found the professional person in charge of the TV series you wanted. He can't leave for the moment. Wait until you return to Beijing and talk to him in person." Zong Shuai talked about another thing.

"Okay, help me make an appointment with him when we get back. By the way, when will your company open?" "Maybe after a while. I haven't found anyone to replace me yet."

"I'll send you two big flower baskets later."

"Then I'll rent an office in your company's office building, so I don't have to run back and forth."

"See that Huang Bo? He's a little ugly, but he has great potential. You can try to sign him later." Lin Yicheng pointed at Huang Bo and said.

"Okay, I got it. I'll talk to him later." Zong Shuai took a look and nodded in agreement.

"Also, the crossover scene I told you about before will be filmed later, our scenes together."

"Okay, I've practiced this several times today."

It’s no secret that Zong Shuai is a talented guy. During the filming, he actually passed it in one take, which made Lin Yicheng, who wanted to laugh at him, a little disappointed.

But the picture of the profiteer selling the equipment was very simple, just a few seconds of close-up.

……

After the filming, the crew arrived at the airport gate, taking Zong Shuai, who was going to the airport.

After communicating with the airport and traffic police, we started filming Mike's scenes.

Mike appeared in a fitted black leather jacket, sunglasses, gel-on, and earrings in his ears.

Chewing gum, he walked out of the airport coolly with his suitcase in his hand, put the suitcase down, took off his glasses, and hailed a taxi.

As soon as I opened the car door, someone suddenly blinded me from behind.

"Guess who I am? I'll give you three chances."

Heipi spoke the island city dialect.

"I think you've got the wrong person." A knife slipped from Mike's sleeve into his hand.

"No, there are still two times left!"

"Sir, please let go!"

"Okay, don't open your eyes."

As the hand behind him let go, Mike looked around, but didn't see anyone, and the taxi had already left. He lowered his head and the box was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm gonna hit you with the lungs!" Mike cursed in his half-familiar Hong Kong dialect.

Then he raised his hand to signal, and Wang Liming shouted "click".

Lin Yicheng returned to the monitor, checked it once, and found nothing wrong, so he shouted, "Call it a day, hurry up."

After saying goodbye to the airport staff and traffic police, I returned to Luohan Temple and continued filming.

……

Time flows like water, and so does film consumption.

Every day, the finished film is put into the warehouse and guarded by a dedicated person, and new film is brought in.

Although digital cameras have been around for a long time, they still cannot meet the standards of some movies and are mostly used by individuals or by some companies for other purposes.

At most, some poor crews are forced to use digital cameras.

Nowadays, when making a movie, both the shooting and the copy for release cost a lot of money.

Fortunately, Lin Yicheng had a complete film in mind and there were almost no wasted shots.

As for Ji Ji, who was following the crew, he also did some preliminary editing according to Lin Yicheng's requirements, which greatly saved time for post-production.

……

By mid-May, the temperature in the mountain city was already quite high. Fortunately, the remaining scenes were basically night scenes, so it was not too uncomfortable.

Lin Yicheng also adjusted the crew's working hours, changing it to resting during the day and shooting at night.

This resulted in senior Yao Di having few opportunities to come and ask for advice on acting.

Her scenes had already been filmed, but she stayed in the crew, using the excuse that this was her first movie in her life and the opportunity to learn was rare.

He played the guest role of Lin Yicheng's personal assistant, bringing water and meals, providing sunshade and fanning, and serving the great director Lin very well.

Lin Yicheng almost had the urge to hire her as an assistant.

The crew members saw through it but didn't say anything. With Director Lin's power, doesn't he want to get involved?
