Chapter 86 I still can't convince everyone

Jiang Wei was in great trouble and had no idea what to do for a moment.

"How about this, I'll go back and think about it. Junior brother, can you wait for me for a few days?"

"No problem, I can wait for you for a week at most." Lin Yicheng said with a smile.

"That's troublesome. I won't disturb you today."

After sending Jiang Wei away, Lin Yicheng smiled.

Bullshit co-directing, Lin Yicheng had never considered it at all.

Is it really that easy to take advantage of him?
What I said just now was just to keep Jiang Wei hanging.

Besides, it would be strange if two directors who are not familiar with each other co-direct a project without conflicts in the end.

Lin Yicheng certainly wouldn't take such a risk with his own project.

Why are you treating Jiang Wei so harshly?
It’s not that Lin Yicheng is bullying people, this is how cooperation is supposed to be done.

Although he had always intended to let Jiang Wei direct this TV series, the results of the original time and space also proved that Jiang Wei could shoot it well.

But the one who rushes to buy something is not a good deal.

If Jiang Wei was just a simple director, things would be much simpler.

But behind Jiang Wei there is Dongyang Qingyu.

If Dongyang Qingyu wants Jiang Wei to direct, he will definitely try to get involved.

The copyright is in Lin Yicheng's hands, so the initiative is in his hands. So Xinghe Film and Television must take the lead and get the biggest profit.

If Galaxy Film and Television City cannot get the maximum profit, it would be better not to cooperate.

At worst, Lin Yicheng can find another director, or even keep the script and shoot it himself when he has time.

……

The next day, Jiang Wei came to Xinghe Film and Television Company again.

This time, it was not only himself, but also his wife Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing was representing Dongyang Qingyu.

So Lin Yicheng also called Liu Mingjun over, and the four of them talked together.

What can I say about Zhang Jing?

He does have the ability, but his vision is small, he is very strong-willed, and he is a bit petty.

As soon as Zhang Jing opened her mouth, she wanted to take a 50% investment share.

"Ms. Zhang, if this is what you think, then there is no need to discuss this further."

Liu Mingjun interrupted Zhang Jing directly, saying that there were some things that Lin Yicheng couldn't say, but it was okay if he said it.

"Our company has no shortage of funds, and this project has no shortage of directors. The reason I'm sitting here talking to you today is entirely because President Lin is doing this for Director Jiang's sake."

"We have prepared everything and originally planned to start preparations this month. But you guys not only want to participate, but also want to take away half of the investment. We cannot accept this."

In negotiation, it doesn't matter whether what is said is true or false. What is important is to have bargaining chips and to overwhelm others with momentum.

Zhang Jing frowned and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Jiang Wei.

To be honest, he himself felt that his wife's demands were excessive.

If it is Dongyang Qingyu's project and everything is ready, but Xinghe Film and Television intervenes and wants to take away half, will Dongyang Qingyu agree?
"Junior brother, how much share are you willing to give up?" Jiang Wei really liked this book, so he stopped talking and wanted to know Lin Yicheng's bottom line.

"Brother, for your sake, I will give Dongyang Qingyu 20% of the investment."

"No, 20% is too little. We should at least..." Before Zhang Jing could finish her words, Jiang Wei pulled her.

He realized that he shouldn't have brought his wife here today.

Zhang Jing was usually a bit strong, but it didn't matter. After all, she was the producer, and if she wasn't strong enough, she wouldn't be able to control the crew. And the actors and the people behind the scenes didn't dare to say anything.

But can Lin Yicheng do the same? Being so strong towards Lin Yicheng, aren't you afraid that this junior brother will reject you directly?
He doesn't think he has much face. Even though both sides call each other "senior brother" and "junior brother" affectionately, today is only the second time they meet.

Besides, what is Lin Yicheng's identity? Whether it is fame, status or past achievements, he and Zhang Jing can't compare.

"Okay, 20%." Jiang Wei made the decision directly.

"Okay, senior brother, let General Manager Liu hand over the specific issues to you." Lin Yicheng smiled and agreed.

…After the two left, Lin Yicheng said, “As for Snow Leopard, you and Director Liu should hurry up. After you are done, you should immediately prepare for Hidden.”

"Okay, Mr. Lin." Preparing two projects at the same time was not a problem for Liu Mingjun.

The general framework of "Snow Leopard" has now been finalized, and what remains is to confirm the cast and crew.

At the same time, there will still be negotiations between "The Hidden Corner" and Dongyang Qingyu. After the negotiations, the preparation period will begin and "Snow Leopard" can almost start filming.

Lin Yicheng thought about it and decided that the role of Yu Zecheng did not need to be changed. Sun Honglei’s performance in the original drama was outstanding and almost perfect.

But as for Cuiping, she naturally couldn't give in to Yao Dazui anymore.

As for Sheng Xiang, we must not use the original person again. No matter whether that person behaves well in the crew, he is always a huge hidden danger.

So in order to avoid trouble and bad influence, just replace someone else when the time comes.

……

"Why did you agree to 20%? This doesn't fit in with our original plan."

As soon as Jiang Wei and his wife came downstairs, Zhang Jing couldn't help but speak:
"If that's the case, we'll be busy all the time, but in the end, the lion's share will go to Lin Yicheng and his company. Why should we bother?"

"Do you know who he is?" Jiang Wei asked back, feeling a little headache.

"He's just a lucky young man who became famous after filming a few movies." Zhang Jing blurted out.

"..." Jiang Wei looked at his wife and didn't know what to say for a moment.

His wife is a producer and can manage a crew in an orderly manner, which saves him a lot of worry.

However, her mentality of always considering herself as a senior and a successful producer also limits her.

"It's settled. I'll talk to your eldest brother. If he's not satisfied, then I won't shoot this project." Jiang Wei said directly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Isn't this all for your own good and for the good of the company?" Zhang Jing yelled.

Jiang Wei ignored him and just walked towards the parking lot.

……

In fact, not only Zhang Jing, but many people in the industry also view Lin Yicheng in this way.

The reason is simple: Lin Yicheng's rise was too fast and too smooth, and his achievements were so impressive that it was difficult for many people to change their mindset in a short period of time.

In their opinion, if you want to succeed, you have to do what they did, spend several years or even more than ten years slowly accumulating experience and climbing up step by step. This is the normal process and steps.

But what about Lin Yicheng?

They are so evil and abnormal. In just two years, they have accomplished what they cannot do in more than ten years or even in their entire lives.

In this situation, one will naturally feel envious, jealous and hateful, and one's mentality cannot be balanced.

They would not think that it was because of their own lack of ability, but only that Lin Yicheng was just lucky.

They think that they are talented but not appreciated, and they just lack opportunities. If they are given opportunities, their achievements will not be worse than Lin Yicheng's, but even greater.

They believed that Lin Yicheng's foundation must be unstable. Even though he was so successful now, he might fall flat on his face at any time and return to the same position as them or even lower than them.

This kind of thinking is really normal. Isn't it the same in every industry?

The wood show will be destroyed by the forest wind.

If you stand out too much, you will definitely have to endure criticism from your peers.

There is no other way to break this prejudice and criticism except to continue to succeed.

When the gap continues to widen and reaches a level where they can no longer match, they will naturally shut their mouths and no longer have the mentality of comparison.

　In the past two days, a lot of "whiteboard accounts with no subscription records" suddenly came and directly criticized my first chapter. These people didn't even finish reading the first chapter.

　　What I want to say is that Chinese entertainment is originally a small subject, and the current environment is not good. Isn’t it good for everyone to work together to make the subject popular and make the cake bigger?

　　What's the point of attacking me? Will readers read your work?
　　We all write about Chinese entertainment, but we can’t be like those female stars and fight with each other, right?

　　If you have the time, the right thing to do is to write your own work well.

　　Of course, if you really want to criticize, you can just read it for a while longer, find the real weaknesses, and then criticize it with substance.

　　In this way, I would be grateful and help you point out my shortcomings.
