Chapter 9: If you have ambitions to travel around the world, you can travel anywhere
After dealing with the heroine, Lin Yicheng felt relieved.

The next day, I met Uncle Dong and the two discussed the role of the dean.

Afterwards, Uncle Dong also signed the contract.

6 yuan in salary.

Although I feel a little sorry for Uncle Dong, Lin Yicheng is not a pushover and these are all market prices.

Only Sister Huang’s pay still made Lin Yicheng feel a little sad.

You have to know that for the 30 episodes of "Drawing Sword" which was filmed this year and will be broadcast next year, Li Yunlong only received one million yuan. This is a well-known artist in China.

She hopes that Senior Huang will not let her down and become famous just like she did in her previous life.

Make your 50 bucks worth it.

Lin Yicheng could only comfort himself in this way.

"Senior Yao Di, right? I'm Lin Yicheng."

"The leading actress has been decided, it's Senior Huang Shengyi... Now are you interested in the role of the second female lead, Mi Qiao?... Okay, then come over this afternoon to sign the contract... You're welcome."

Putting down his phone and picking up a pen, Lin Yicheng quickly reviewed the list of actors.

The male lead is Lin Yang. Lin Yicheng, paid 0.

The leading actress is Yu Zhouzhou. Huang Shengyi received a salary of 50 yuan.

The second female lead, Mi Qiao and Yao Di, received a salary of RMB 1.5.

The second male lead, Ben Ben, Zhu Yawen, received a salary of 2 yuan.

The third female role is Xin Rui. Liu Jing, with a salary of 1.2 yuan.

Male No. 1.2, Chen An. Luo Jin, paid yuan.

Male 6, Director of Education. Uncle Dong, paid yuan.

Most of them are from Beijing Film Academy.

Excluding the 50 yuan for Huang Xuejie, the others are all priced at market price. A few supporting roles, big special roles, and extras will be hired before and after the filming starts, and a total of 20 yuan will be enough.

Afterwards, Lin Yicheng met the seven people that Wang Liming had brought over.

Four of them were behind the scenes and three played supporting roles, which was not a big problem, and Lin Yicheng also signed contracts with them.

Even though everyone had very little money, Lin Yicheng still followed the rules to avoid any wrangling later.

In the next few days, Lin Yicheng was busy non-stop.

Purchase and rent equipment, contact costume designers to put forward your own requirements for clothing, and contact school uniform manufacturers to make a batch of school uniforms separately.

School uniforms are indispensable in campus dramas, but the appearance of domestic school uniforms these days is hard to describe, they are fat and ugly.

Lin Yicheng asked the manufacturer to make the clothes as slim and fitted as possible to highlight the beauty of youth.

Otherwise, it would be a waste of all the handsome men and beautiful women in the crew.

A few days later, good news came from Marshal Zong and Zhou Chenggong.

There is the best-selling novelist Lin Yicheng, plus the new "Star Girl" Huang Shengyi.

Zhou successfully contacted Nokia, which provided a sponsorship of 20 yuan and promoted the Nokia 2650 and 6630, two new models launched this year.

They also sent 20 mobile phones for filming, but they had to be returned after the filming.

Being stingy doesn't seem grand enough.

Zong Shuai contacted Giant, a bicycle manufacturer in Taiwan, which was hoping to expand into the mainland market and offered a sponsorship of 15 yuan.

There is also Wahaha, which sponsored 18 yuan and mainly sold mineral water, AD calcium milk, Fanta Cola and Eight Treasure Porridge.

And the crew will be provided with some free drinks.

Then there are things like school bags and pencil cases, which cost different amounts, and all together they amount to about 12.

With this calculation, it’s exactly 65 yuan, which is enough to hire a senior student named Huang.

After discussing with these manufacturers and stipulating the required number and duration of shots, the contracts were signed smoothly.

Lin Yicheng did what he said and gave 6.5 points to Zong Shuai and Zhou Chenggong.

People cannot stand without faith.

...Soon, it was July.

A hotel in HD area, all the main creative crew members are present.

In the conference room, Lin Yicheng naturally sat in the main seat.

On the left is producer Zhou Chenggong, followed by photographer Wang Liming and other main behind-the-scenes actors.

Leading on the right is Huang Shengyi, followed by Dong Shu, Yao Di and other main actors.

Zong Shuai has his own things to do and will not follow up with the crew. The female agent surnamed Fei arranged a life assistant for Huang Shengyi and returned to Hong Kong Island.

In fact, there is nothing much to say about the meeting. It is nothing more than for everyone to get to know each other first to facilitate the subsequent filming.

Based on the script, each leading actor talked about his or her understanding and perception of the character, and then the director + screenwriter Lin Yicheng made certain adjustments and modifications.

Lin Yicheng once again made clear arrangements for the division of labor among the behind-the-scenes staff, ensuring that everyone is assigned to tasks and tasks are assigned to people, so as to avoid a situation where no one knows who to contact or who is responsible after filming begins.

The meeting lasted for two hours, during which we raised issues, found problems, and solved them. In the end, it was a complete success.

After the meeting, everyone went back home and looked for their own mothers.

The crew booked the first floor of the hotel, mainly for today's attendees, who are waiting to move in after filming starts.

Although this place is not far from the school, it is enough for several students who return to the school to stay here.

But after consideration, Lin Yicheng decided that everyone would live here in the future.

He didn't want the actors to be delayed by traffic jams or even unexpected situations due to running back and forth, which would prevent the crew from filming normally and waste time and money.

It's worth spending the accommodation fee.

Only Senior Sister Huang will live here from today on.

After all, she is the star of the crew, so it must show in some way.

……

July 2004, 7, the 11th day of the fifth lunar month, Xinmao Day.

Today is a good day for traveling, moving, opening a business, breaking ground, and praying.

In a high school in HD area.

Lin Yicheng led a group of main creators to start filming and worship gods according to the procedures.

After traveling through time and being reborn, Lin Yicheng obviously had a different view on certain things.

You should worship when you need to, to pray for good luck.

After setting off firecrackers, a small launch conference was held.

Lin Yicheng counted the media, big and small, present. There were more than a dozen print and online media, including a TV station. The name on the microphone read Shaanxi Film Channel. Needless to say, this was arranged by Comrade Lao Lin.

The on-site host was an emcee hired by Zhou Chenggong. Although he was obviously not very experienced in film and television drama press conferences, he did not make any mistakes.

At least, the names of several actors were called correctly, not to mention Sao~ Rui~
After that, it was time for reporters to ask questions.

Lin Yicheng first clicked on the Beijing Youth Daily, after all, it was a local media and was also his aunt's employer.

"Hello, Lin Yicheng. I'm a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily. I'd like to ask why you chose to film Hello, Old Times?"

Well, we’re friends, just regular questions and answers.

"When I was writing this novel, the images of Yu Zhouzhou, Lin Yang, Mi Qiao and Ben Ben came to my mind. Later, I studied directing and wondered if there was a chance to present these characters to the audience in different ways."

"So, after studying and preparing, I chose to shoot Hello, Old Times, hoping that more book fans and audiences can see them in person and fall in love with them."

"Hello, Lin Yicheng. I'm a reporter from NetEase News. As far as I know, you are still a student at the Beijing Film Academy's directing department. I would like to ask if you have the confidence to make this film well and not disappoint the fans? Did you encounter any difficulties or pressures in the process?"

"I do have confidence, which comes from myself and the guidance of my mentors at Beijing Film Academy. Because this is a work I wrote myself, and I am also the director, screenwriter, and the leading actor, I have a good grasp of this play."

"As for difficulties and pressure, what can we do without? All we need to do is hold on to a firm goal, maintain a positive attitude, work hard, solve problems, and then improve and enrich ourselves to present a relatively perfect result."

……

No matter what the question is, Lin Yicheng can talk about it fluently and with ease.

Of course, the reporters mainly asked questions to Lin Yicheng and Huang Shengyi. As for the others, they were just little Karami who didn't deserve to have a name!
