Chapter 235: All staff are tools people

Views:

The Xingmang Film Department had a tendency to collectively shut itself off, and there was also an indescribable sense of shame. After all, everyone had said some weird things about Lin Yuan's film before:

“Who would have thought…”

"After all this, we are no better than an amateur."

"I still don't understand why "Flirting Scholar" is so popular. I've watched the movie... But my kid loves it so much. Maybe we're getting old and can't keep up with the times."

"Let Xianyu run the cinema chain, and we can just go online."

"I just feel a little sorry for Manager Zhou... Manager Zhou sold this movie. I heard that he was criticized in today's high-level meeting."

"I heard about it, too. The scene was extremely bloody."

"It's not a big deal. The company has already started to save its reputation. Look at the way the official Weibo account celebrated."

"… "

That's true.

Lao Zhou was indeed criticized.

The people in the film department were indeed a little skeptical about their lives. After all, this was a very serious accident.

To be precise, it was a tragic accident of "collective misjudgment".

But Xingmang is also extremely skilled at deceiving himself.

The company has recently been reposting various film reviews and data about "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" on its official account on the blog.

Four words: crazy showing off.

I almost said, "Have you seen this movie? Isn't it awesome? It was made by us at Starlight."

Then the crowd who didn’t know the truth started shouting “666”.

The industry has indeed eaten unripe grapes and is feeling the sourness.

From this perspective, the company has made a lot of money after all.

As for Lin Yuan...

He has been holding a computer every day recently, calculating how much money he has earned so far.

Of course Lin Yuan had expected that "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" would become a huge hit.

But the amount of money earned by this movie really shocked Lin Yuan!

Tens of millions in profits!

And according to this popularity trend, "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" will continue to have many people watching and will continue to make money!

Writing novels…

Release new song...

Teaching painting...

Think about it, what can make money faster than making movies

It’s such a joy to make a movie!

The online movies are well managed, no worse than those in cinemas!

There is just one thing that Lin Yuan really wants to correct the outside world.

In fact, the cost of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" was more than nine million.

The system props that Lin Yuan used for the actors were also exchanged for krypton gold, and the price was extremely expensive!

But as the old saying goes...

There is no reward without hard work.

If the actors didn't use props and messed up the performance, the effect of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" wouldn't be so good.

The only pity is that Xianyu has too many fans paying attention to him.

It would be great if these fans’ attention was directed to Chu Kuang.

Lin Yuan even considered whether to use Chu Kuang's account to say...

In fact, the script of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" was written by Chu Kuang

This thought flashed through his mind, and finally Lin Yuan decided to forget it.

If we do this, the risk of being exposed is too high.

After all, everyone in the company knew that Xianyu was me, and everyone also knew that I stayed on the set the entire time during the filming of this drama...

As for the poems in the movie, they were actually inspired by the "Flirting Scholar" script provided by the system.

This script is so detailed that even these things are written in.

Fortunately, this is not an inexplicable point.

After all... to write good lyrics for a song, one must also have good literary skills.

Who dares to deny that Fang Wenshan and other songwriters have poor literary skills

With this prerequisite, it is understandable that Lin Yuan, the alias of Xianyu, can write some awesome ancient poems.

This is very reasonable and logical.

Anyway, from now on, I will focus on writing lyrics, composing music, and writing scripts under the pseudonym Xianyu.

When a movie becomes popular, its success is attributed to far more than just one person.

As a screenwriter, Xianyu has certainly become very popular.

But the director, actors, and important members of the creative team of this film also benefited greatly!

The first is the male protagonist He Sheng.

As the absolute leading male star of "Flirting Scholar", He Sheng became unexpectedly popular two weeks after the movie was broadcast!

The notice that came to the door broke through the threshold of Xingmang—

He Sheng is an artist of Xing Mang.

Of course, before that, he could only be considered a supporting actor in Xingmang.

Now, he has become a hot new star in the film industry!

This made the company's chief agent Zhao Jue very happy. She immediately arranged a very capable agent for He Sheng.

With the company's transformation, Zhao Jue now has artists from both the film and television industry and the music industry.

Lin Yuan had discovered several new singers for Zhao Jue before...

Now Lin Yuan has actually started to help Zhao Jue discover film and television talents for the company!

This is horrible!

If Lin Yuan's success this time is not a coincidence, and if Lin Yuan's screenwriting ability can be guaranteed, then his value to the company is no less than that of other Qu Dads -

Even higher!

Judging from the chairman’s personality, I’m afraid that Lin Yuan will be able to act arrogantly in Xingmang in the future!

Xiao Qu’s dad

It's not...

Before, Lin Yuan wanted to make a movie, so the company gave him the movie. At that time, there were rumors in the company that Lin Yuan was the little prince of Xing Mang...

At the moment, this description seems to be more appropriate than "Xiao Qu's father"!

He Sheng himself was naturally extremely excited.

After the company registered a blog account for him, the first thing he did was to follow Xianyu, then he personally read all of Xianyu’s Weibo posts and liked every one of them…

Occasionally, I leave comments, such as:

"Come on, Teacher Xianyu!"

"Teacher Xianyu is the best!"

"I am a die-hard fan of Teacher Xianyu!"

"… "

These are mostly words of this kind, and the attitude can be said to be very pious.

Another person who was in a similar mood to He Sheng was Yi Chenggong!

Obviously, the biggest star of "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" is Xian Yu, the screenwriter.

This movie is the most typical product of the "screenwriter-centered" crew.

But Yi Chenggong is a director after all!

Even if the screenwriter is the most brilliant, the director can at least be ranked among the top three contributors to the success of the film!

To be honest, Yi Chenggong was a little disappointed that "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" failed to hit theaters.

Looking back now, what’s so good about cinemas!

Isn’t it great to make money from on-demand movies on the Internet

Isn't it awesome that he left a landmark work for the online movie

Besides...

With the credentials of this movie, even if Yi Chenggong wants the company to invest in a theatrical movie for him now, the company will most likely not refuse.

Because as for qualifications, you have them once you succeed!

Didn’t someone say something weird about Xianyu before

Now I’m afraid the company is asking Representative Lin to make another movie like “A Chinese Odyssey: Part One”

Having said that.

Although Yi Chenggong was the person who was most optimistic about "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" besides Xianyu, the huge success of this movie also shocked Yi Chenggong himself.

Yi Chenggong knew that this movie might be popular, but he didn’t expect it to be so popular!

certainly.

Both the director and the leading male actor benefited, so the leading female actor will naturally not be bad off either.

Flirting Scholar...

The one I ordered is Qiuxiang, played by Yu Xilu!

As the heroine of the movie, Yu Xilu discovered for the first time that being a vase is not a bad thing!

Others are responsible for being funny, while I am responsible for being pretty and cooperating...

However, compared to the excited Yi Chenggong and He Sheng, Yu Xilu thought a little more.

After all, she has more experience in this circle and knows better the importance of clinging to someone powerful:

"When will Representative Lin shoot a new movie?"

"Should I beg her to give me another role?"

"I believe Representative Lin doesn't mind my status as a vase..."

"Although I have a lot of acting offers now, if Mr. Lin needs me, I will definitely reserve my time for him..."

Although some people may think that "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" is a work of luck that can only be achieved by chance, Yu Xilu does not think so.

She almost laughed to death many times while filming this movie!

She also saw with her own eyes how Representative Lin trained He Sheng to become a comedy master!

This made Yu Xilu very sure that Representative Lin was the real deal!

In fact…

During the filming, Yu Xilu even tried to strike up a conversation with Representative Lin.

Isn't it said that men like beautiful women? I am so beautiful, there are so many boys in the crew who keep glancing at me. Maybe Representative Lin is interested in me

Unfortunately, Representative Lin didn't even look at him for a second.

Representative Lin even looked at He Sheng and Yi Chenggong more often than he looked at himself...

It seems that my charm has no effect on Representative Lin.

Yu Xilu was not disappointed either, after all, she was just giving it a try.

And she didn't use this to get promoted, she just wanted to curry favor with Representative Lin.

If the boss of the crew was Yi Chenggong, Yu Xilu would never have any ideas.

She would rather never be promoted than have anything happen to her with Yi Chenggong!

"I guess other actresses in the company will soon be eyeing Lin... But whether or not Lin chooses me as the leading actress in the future, I must maintain a good relationship with Lin..."

Nowadays, every actress in the entertainment industry has her own little tricks.

He Sheng, Yi Chenggong, and many other participants in this movie have the same little tricks.

It’s just that other people’s reactions were slower than Yu Xilu’s…

But no matter how slow you are, you will never forget who made "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" a success.

In fact.

As the movie became a big hit, everyone was basically thinking about how to quickly get closer to Representative Lin in their own way.

Following, liking, commenting and leaving messages in a tribe are just basic operations.

Perhaps only the film producer Shen Qing has been a bit embarrassed recently...

Many people around him began to congratulate Shen Qing, saying how good "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" was.

After all, he is the chief producer, so he gets a lot of benefits.

But the more he was congratulated, the more embarrassed Shen Qing felt...

Can he tell everyone that he actually had no hope for "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" at all

Well, I didn’t dare to say.

Shen Qing still has some dignity.

The thing he is most grateful for now is that there is no problem with his work attitude and he did not neglect his duties just because he was not optimistic about the film.

Finally, Representative Lin asked me to help negotiate the online movie matters, and I did it obediently.

From this perspective, even if I don't try to flatter Representative Lin, at least he won't hate me, right

I just guess that Representative Lin won’t cooperate with me next time…

After all, everyone in this crew, including myself and the director, are just a group of tools to achieve Representative Lin’s goals.

Yes, everyone is a tool.

If Representative Lin has bigger ambitions in the future, he will not be satisfied with just a group of tools like this.

ps: It is an undeniable fact that this book is overdue for more and more updates. This is the second additional update by the Silver Alliance of Huanyu. Let's call it a day. It is inevitable that the word count will be a bit watery, especially since I wrote more than 10,000 words today. I hope everyone can understand. It would be better if you don't tear up the monthly ticket...
