Chapter 74 Let's compete fairly

The discussions and comments from the outside world did not disturb Lin Yicheng.

I had anticipated this before going to the College Student Film Festival, so I was not surprised or disappointed.

The reason I wanted to go was because "Crazy Stone" was his debut film, and I was quite concerned about it.

For example, the album "Lin Yicheng" also won some music awards. Lin Yicheng did not attend, but asked Zong Shuai to accept it on his behalf.

Although Lin Yicheng's identity as a singer is a bit of a hobby, those music awards dare not not give him an award.

After all, there are some mysterious excuses such as "artistic quality" and "profound meaning" to determine whether a movie wins an award or not.

But music awards are all based on sales.

The sales of Lin Yicheng's album are there, surpassing all the albums of other singers of the same period. It would be unreasonable not to give him an award.

And Warner Bros. is no pushover, so those music awards certainly can’t ignore their opinions.

……

But when it comes to film awards, there are many different ways and opinions.

It is obvious that Lin Yicheng cannot beat them now.

Of course, Lin Yicheng may not accompany the College Student Film Festival again in the future.

When his movie crushed everything and set the box office record, it was no longer Lin Yicheng who was sitting on the sidelines and in trouble.

If these awards can still ignore the box office and the audience's reputation and still not give him an award, then Lin Yicheng will only give them a thumbs up and say "awesome"!
Therefore, Lin Yicheng's mentality was still relatively calm and he was not affected at all.

Grand Commander Zhao Feiyu was not asked to take action either. The voices in the online media were enough and there was no need for him to add fuel to the fire.

Moreover, as time goes by, some things will always leave clues once they are done.

There are too many organizers of the College Student Film Festival. Not to mention other things, the General Administration is also involved.

Lin Yicheng naturally didn't want to offend them.

Of course, the spontaneous criticism and comments from netizens and the media cannot be blamed on him, and he does not take the blame.

You see, even if you don’t like me very much, I don’t complain at all.

Is there anything wrong with the acceptance speeches I gave? No, I guess not.

What? Others can interpret it to mean something else? What does that mean?

When Mr. Lu Xun wrote the word "early", it had dozens of profound meanings. I also write novels, so it is normal for people to interpret my works.

……

Back on the crew, some people became cautious, fearing that they might bring bad luck to him.

Lin Yicheng really wanted to say that it was not necessary, he was not such a petty person.

But there's no way to say this. Even if I say it, I guess no one will believe it. Well, at least Lin Yicheng himself doesn't quite believe it.

Let them be.

……

The scene to be filmed today is very crucial.

It was when Sun Jun, Zhang Da, He Li and Wu Yichun were sitting around drinking tea that they revealed that Wu Yichun was the emperor's spy planted next to Qin Hui.

Then, through the conversation between Wu Yichun and He Li, Qin Hui’s arrogance and power were pointed out - he even dared to ignore the gold medal. In this courtyard, his handwritten edict was more useful than the gold medal!
"Is Steward He crazy? This is a gold medal bestowed by the emperor. Do you know what it means? I can do whatever I want in this mansion." Wu Yichun, played by Uncle Qian'er, held up the gold medal, his tone was tough and sarcastic, but also a little timid.

"Everyone has to cooperate, including the prime minister." Seeing He Li, played by Zhang Guoli, trying to touch the gold medal, Uncle Qian shrank back and laughed, "Don't touch it. If you do, you will die. Your rank and status are not enough."

……

After watching the replay, Lin Yicheng continued to shoot the next segment.

Faced with Wu Yichun's imperial gold medal, He Li instead took out Qin Hui's handwritten edict.

"I, Yaoqin, am entrusted with a great secret and shall be sent to the capital as soon as possible. However, the matter is of great importance. I have decided to conduct a personal trial immediately. Anyone who disobeys will be executed, no matter who they are."

Wu Yichun was confused. When he realized that in this courtyard, the imperial gold medal was not as important as a handwritten edict from Qin Hui, he expressed disbelief.

"You are too much of a bully. You have the golden medal of immunity from death, but you still can't escape death? Have you read history? There has never been a case in history where a golden medal was useless!"

Uncle Qian'er acted out Wu Yichun's disbelief, grievance and anger, and his desire to compromise when the situation got bad. "Ka!" Lin Yicheng applauded Uncle Qian'er.

"Is the acting okay?" Uncle Qian'er said with some satisfaction.

"It has to be possible." Lin Yicheng said with a smile, "Of course, Mr. Guoli's performance is also very exciting. This scene mainly depends on the two of you."

"After so many years of filming, I deserve the reward for my good performance." Zhang Guoli waved his hand, lowered his head and read the handwritten note again, and said:

"Xiao Lin, your handwriting is really good. You must have practiced for a long time."

"I started practicing since elementary school, more than ten years ago." Lin Yicheng replied.

This handwritten edict from Qin Hui was written by Lin Yicheng himself.

"Hey, don't say, if you take a closer look, it has both the charm of the Two Wangs and the strength of Yan and Liu. Good calligraphy, indeed good calligraphy." Uncle Qian'er is a playful guy who also studies calligraphy and painting.

"Brother, you have a keen eye. I first learned from Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan. After practicing for a few years and having a solid foundation, I started copying the two Wangs."

"Please find some time to paint one for me later and I will frame it." Uncle Qian'er said.

"No problem, whatever you like."

Then, Zhang Guoli and Huang Bo also asked for it, and Lin Yicheng agreed.

……

In the dim room, Yaoqin, played by Fan Xiaopang, stands in front of a screen with shackles on her hands. Through the screen, one can vaguely see a figure sitting behind her.

"The Zuo Pushe, the co-minister of the Secretariat, and the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, Lord Qin, will meet with him." Yaoqin slowly recited the contents of the secret letter and drew out the dagger in her hand.

In the original drama, this was called "Right Pushe". Lin Yicheng changed it, so Qin Hui never held the position of Right Pushe.

Moreover, in the letter that Zhang Da wrote on the wall later in the original drama, the word "Zuo Pushe" was also written.

"Respectfully presented by Wanyan Zongbing." Having said this, Yaoqin opened her eyes, and with a bit of ferocity and murderous intent in her phoenix eyes, she pounced fiercely towards the screen.

With a "crash", the screen broke into pieces, and the figure sitting behind the screen fell to the ground. It turned out to be a dummy. The real Qin Hui was still behind the dummy.

Yaoqin was filled with reluctance, but was pinned to the ground by the soldiers who rushed over. She could not struggle and could only let out bursts of screams.

"Click!" Lin Yicheng called to stop.

The two extras who played the soldiers quickly helped Fat Fan up.

"Bingbing performed well." Mr. Han Sanye, who came to visit the set today, clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment." Fat Fan was very polite.

"Mr. Han, would you like to try the crew's food?" Lin Yicheng invited.

"I've always heard that the food on your crew, Director Lin, is good. I must try it today." Uncle Han said with a smile.

After the staff brought two lunches, Lin Yicheng and Han Sanye found an empty room and sat down.

When Fatty Fan saw this, she was very tactful and didn't follow him. She usually had lunch with Lin Yicheng.

"Is the progress going smoothly?" Mr. Han picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth. "Wow, it's authentic. The old vinegar from Jin Province is different."

"It's going smoothly. We can finish filming in early June." Lin Yicheng said while eating a piece of braised hairtail fish.

"Then we won't be able to catch up in the summer season." said Mr. Han San.

"I plan to release it during the Lunar New Year holiday."

"Lao Mouzi's new film is also scheduled to be released during the Lunar New Year. This time you two are going to be in the same movie."

"Didn't 'A World Without Thieves' and 'Kung Fu' collide before? Everyone is competing fairly, and the audience has more choices. That's good." Lin Yicheng picked up another piece of lotus root slice and threw it into his mouth.

"You kid, there's no outsider here, so you don't have to hide it."

Mr. Han San didn't believe a single word of what Lin Yicheng had just said.

He still remembers the incident of "Seven Swords" vividly.

Xu Ke's original seven-step plan also died in the womb and there was no further news. I heard that Xu Ke was somewhat devastated and planned to take a break for a while.

"Tell me, what is your plan this time? So that China Film can prepare in advance."
