Chapter 56 Not a good bird

In the next few days, Lin Yicheng seemed to have stepped on the accelerator and basically stayed in the company during the day.

The company hired several screenwriters, who did not have the right to sign their names, to revise the scripts submitted by Lin Yicheng.

In many dramas, the lines and settings are based on the background of the times. Lin Yicheng needs them to find and improve the omissions based on the actual situation.

Lin Yicheng doesn't want to end up like the guy in "Ice Hunter". He could chat on QQ in 96.

……

On this day, Lin Yicheng was discussing with several screenwriters when Li Yuefang came over and said that Liu Mingjun had brought a director and was waiting for him.

After meeting, Lin Yicheng couldn't help but smile. It was an old acquaintance, or to be more precise, an acquaintance from the previous life.

Liu Gang, one of the most famous TV drama directors in later generations, is very good at shooting modern dramas.

In his previous life, Lin Yicheng had worked with him twice, serving as his life producer and assistant director respectively.

Unexpectedly, the situation changes and this time Liu Kang has to work for him.

At present, Liu Kang is only slightly famous and has only filmed two works with mediocre results.

After a brief greeting, the two sides got down to business.

Lin Yicheng took out the script of "The Good Times of Daughter-in-law" and showed it to Liu Kang, wanting to hear his opinion.

Although Lin Yicheng knew that Liu Kang had a promising future, it was a different time at that time and it was hard to say what level he was at now.

Soon, Liu Kang finished reading the script and briefly talked about his understanding of the script and his ideas for filming.

It’s okay. Although it’s not specific and mature enough, Lin Yicheng can see that the general framework is correct. It’s already very good to be able to give such an answer in such a short time.

"Director Liu, this project is now handed over to you. I hope you can come up with a plan as soon as possible." Lin Yicheng continued, "Old Liu, you will be the producer of this project yourself."

After seeing both of them nod, Lin Yicheng said, "As for the male and female protagonists, my idea is to find Huang Haibo and Haiqing. What do you think?"

Liu Mingjun naturally had no objection and just followed his boss's arrangements.

Liu Kang considered the works and images of the two and had no objection. The investors have the greatest say, which is very normal in the industry, not to mention that these two people are suitable.

"Okay, prepare the project as soon as possible, and we'll communicate if you have any questions."

Liu Mingjun would naturally negotiate Liu Kang's treatment as a director, and in the end Lin Yicheng would just have to sign.

After thinking about it, Lin Yicheng called Zong Shuai again and asked him to check Huang Haibo's situation to see if he could be signed to Star Culture Agency.

Lin Yicheng had a good impression of Huang Haibo, a rare talent with great acting skills. Unfortunately, he was blocking the way of others and had no support from a big company, so he was naturally pulled down.

He is the only actor who, after something happened, many netizens expected him to make a comeback, which shows how popular he is with the audience.

Lin Yicheng has many projects that are suitable for Huang Haibo to play. In this case, he naturally cannot let outsiders benefit.

Lin Yicheng also wanted to help Huang Haibo, otherwise it would be a pity to ruin such a good actor.

As for Liu Kang, we will cooperate with him once first, and then we can bring him into Xinghe Film and Television Company. As long as he can help Lin Yicheng expand his territory, he will naturally be generous in return.

……

Time quickly came to March, and a big event happened on the Internet.

A war of words broke out between Han Han and Bai Ye. The two sides exchanged verbal attacks, which the netizens enjoyed greatly. This event was known in history as the "Han-Bai dispute."

"The literary world is shit, no one should pretend to be cool"; "Every forum is an altar in the end, every circle is a wreath in the end."

As soon as Han Han's two famous quotes came out, it was like stepping on a hornet's nest. Countless writers, celebrities, and literary figures came out to join the battle, as if the eighteen princes were fighting against Dong Zhuo together.

Han Han is also very powerful. No matter how many troops you have, I will remain unmoved.

He just scolded Bai Ye, as if to say, "No matter how many ways you come from, I will only go one way." It was obvious that he had studied military tactics a lot.

As one of the most famous and popular bloggers, Lin Yicheng is naturally asked by netizens about his opinions and who he supports.

Who should I support? Can I say that none of them are good people? Lin Yicheng complained in his heart.

Looking back at this war of words now, it is clearly a win-win situation for all parties.

Although Bai Ye has some status in the literary world, he has not reached the level of being famous.

This time, he went completely viral. After the war of words, the sales of his slow-selling books soared.

There were also publishing houses that hurriedly contacted him, wanting to take over the publishing rights to his other works. One of them was Lin's mother Zhao Yuxia's publishing house. Although Bai Ye was scolded, he became a best-selling author overnight, and his hands were tired of counting money. It was like Qin Shihuang touching the wire, and he won a lot.

As for Han Han, he had obviously studied the famous Zhongnan shortcut thoroughly.

Why is Han Han so famous and influential?

It’s not enough to just write novels.

He has another trick.

Don't disbelieve it. Look, after scolding Lao She, Mao Dun, Ba Jin and other deceased masters, he turned his attention to the living.

Bai Ye, Ai Dajin, Lu Tailang, Zheng Jun, Yu Qiuyu, Guo Xiaosi, Li Ao...

There are too many to count, but celebrities can curse anyone who is popular. In this way, the names of representatives of public opinion and opinion leaders will become more famous, and actual benefits will be easily obtained.

As for Sina Blog, it is exactly what Feng Kuzi said in "Big Shot".

Hire a few bad-mouthing gunmen, and find a few cultural celebrities as targets, and put down whoever is popular! What does the website rely on? It relies on the click rate! When the click rate goes up, the next customers will come.

Is it the same in reality?

I can only say that Feng Pants is YYDS!

……

Therefore, Lin Yicheng opened his blog and wrote the following:

"Many people asked me what I thought about the 'Han-Bai dispute'. What could I think? We are not from the same circle, and I have never met either party. I have no way of knowing, nor do I want to know, their grievances."

"I am just a film and television actor. In my spare time, I write novels and sing songs to entertain the public. So my opinion is not important, and I don't have any opinion."

"So don't ask me. I've been very busy and worried lately."

"I currently have two scripts, both of which are movies. One is about a group of frustrated people making a movie during the Republic of China period. The other is a costume drama about Yue Fei, the Yue Family Army and Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty."

"I'd like to clarify that this is a costume drama, but not a costume movie. There are no grand scenes, no flying around, and no special effects. It relies on the plot to win. I believe you still have confidence in my ability to make up stories, right?"

"I'm having a hard time choosing right now, so I want to hear your thoughts and opinions. Whichever one you want to watch first, I'll shoot that one first."

"Well, let's make a deal for a week. After a week, I will make a choice based on your messages."

……

Originally, Lin Yicheng wanted to add a sentence to recommend everyone to watch the movie "Big Shot", but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

Don't underestimate others. There have always been many smart people on the Internet. They may be able to understand his profound meaning, add more heat to the "Han Bai dispute", or even get themselves into trouble.

As for the two movies, Lin Yicheng did not lie. He really didn't know which one to shoot between "Famous" and "Red River".

Let's shoot "Man Jiang Hong". The great director Kai Ge has just ruined a costume blockbuster, which really disgusted the audience. He is afraid that he will be affected as well. When the audience sees that it is a costume drama, they instinctively think it is another costume blockbuster and choose not to watch it.

So on his blog, he specifically pointed out that this is not a costume blockbuster.

As for the effect, he couldn't guarantee it, he could only say that director Kai Ge had done a lot of harm to people.

……

The movie "Man Jiang Hong", apart from other things, is of good quality.

The reason why he received so many bad names in later generations was that the fans of these four characters jumped up and down, and their various behaviors disgusted too many passers-by.

Then there are the investors’ outrageous actions, which have further affected the audience’s perception.

Of course, Zhang Yimou also has to take the blame, as he really wasn't that attentive when he was making this movie.

However, this time it’s Lin Yicheng who’s shooting it, so it’s definitely different.

……

"Famous" is a good movie. Lin Yicheng wants to make it, but he doesn't want to release it so early. He is afraid that the evaluation of his subsequent films will not catch up with this one, and he will be described as "running out of ideas".

This is very possible.

Currently, on Douban, the score of "Crazy Stone" has dropped from the initial 8.5 points to 8 points.

Although Lin Yicheng does not attach importance to Douban ratings, he cares about the audience's reputation and does not want to give people a feeling that he is going downhill.
