After shooting these films, Lin Yuan has already formed a regular crew. The core members of this crew have not changed, especially the producer Shen Qing, the chief steward, and the director Yi Chenggong, the tool man. However, when Lin represented the new film project, the crew of the film did not change much, but the director was replaced by Du An from Yi Chenggong. Yi Chenggong could not help feeling disappointed, although Yi Chenggong himself knew in his heart that in terms of directing ability, he was definitely not as good as Du An, the great director who the company specially poached from Qizhou.
Besides…
In order to become the director of "Life of Pi", Du An was even willing to be a tool for Representative Lin. This sacrifice was actually very great, because under normal circumstances a director of Du An's level would not be willing to be under someone else. So if anyone was to say that he felt wronged, it was not only Yi Chenggong who felt wronged, but Du An also felt wronged.
Shen Qing was not replaced.
But seeing that Lin Yuan chose Du An instead of Yi Chenggong for his new movie, Shen Qing felt a little unhappy. After all, they had worked together for so long, and Shen Qing had established a good personal relationship with Yi Chenggong. Therefore, he accompanied Yi Chenggong for a drink to comfort his old friend: "Mr. Lin should think that the style of this movie is more suitable for Du An to direct. When he encounters a movie that suits you in the future, he will still look for you to cooperate. I will also talk to Mr. Lin later..."
“No need.”
Yi Chenggong smiled bitterly and said, "I don't mean to blame Representative Lin. He has helped me a lot. The reason I was not selected this time is because of my ability. I also hope that Representative Lin's movie can be shot to the best effect. It just so happens that I can take advantage of this time to improve my ability and strive to keep up with Representative Lin's pace."
Obviously.
In Lin's future films, the scenes will definitely become larger and larger, and the requirements for the director's ability will become higher and higher. If Yi Chenggong's level continues to stagnate, it is only a matter of time before he falls behind.
At this time.
Yi Chenggong's phone suddenly buzzed. He picked it up and sobered up from his drunken stupor. Shen Qing beside him also looked serious:
"Representative Lin!"
Yi Chenggong answered the phone. He thought Representative Lin came to comfort him, but when he heard the voice on the phone, Yi Chenggong was suddenly stunned, so much so that he was a little dazed when the call was hung up.
"How about it?"
Shen Qing smiled and said, "I said Representative Lin has not forgotten you. He is not the type to take the initiative to comfort others. If he takes the initiative to comfort you, it only means that he still values you very much."
"no… "
"What is that?"
Yi Chenggong took a deep breath and said excitedly, "Mr. Lin said that there is a new script that needs me to direct. He will send the script to me in a while. His next two movies will start production one after another!"
“Fuck!”
Shen Qing was surprised, and then overjoyed: "Congratulations, Representative Lin even wrote a new script for you to compensate you. This shows that he thinks highly of you!"
"Yes!"
Yi Chenggong couldn't help but raise his voice, the alcohol rising in his heart again: "I will definitely make a good new movie, and I can't let Representative Lin down!"
…
In fact, it was not to comfort Yi Chenggong. It was mainly because Lin Yuan predicted that "Life of Pi" might take a while to produce, and the vacuum period would be a bit long, so he wanted Yi Chenggong to direct another movie during this process. According to the difficulty of shooting, the release time of the two movies can be staggered. However, Lin Yuan has not decided what movie to shoot, and he plans to choose carefully from the film library.
the next day.
Lin Yuan rarely stayed in his studio to draw comics. At this time, the serialization of "Death Note" had reached the second half of the story, and it was estimated that it would be completed before the end of this year.
I drew comics for hours.
Lin Yuan wrote "Sherlock Holmes" for a while. The serialization of this novel has been proceeding in an orderly manner, and the update progress is consistent with the original Poirot series. It is also with the blessing of stable serialization that the influence of Holmes has gradually spread, and more and more people put Holmes on an equal footing with Poirot.
This made Lin Yuan feel relieved.
Preconceived notions are actually very scary. Readers in this world recognized Poirot first, so it is not easy to get everyone to recognize Holmes. However, the facts have proved that Poirot did not overshadow Holmes. Because of their relationship of inheritance, the two characters have a sense of mutual achievement.
This is also Lin Yuan’s intention.
In the serialization of "Sherlock Holmes", he often had Holmes mention Poirot, and through Holmes' admiration for Poirot, he made the two characters more closely connected.
Finished the novel.
It's getting dark.
Jin Mu made a cup of tea for Lin Yuan, then sat on the sofa opposite Lin Yuan and said, "Boss, the serialization progress of the Sherlock Holmes series should not be halfway through yet, right?"
Lin Yuan nodded.
Jin Mu understood: "It's too late. This year's fantasy novel supreme god selection will be announced early next year. Boss actually has the qualifications to be shortlisted, but because Boss has been serializing mystery novels in the past two years..."
"Supreme God?"
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned. He remembered that he had won the Great God Award in the fantasy field. Above the Great God Award, there was actually a Supreme God selection. However, Lin Yuan did not become the Supreme God at that time because of his qualifications. Now, from what Jinmu said, his qualifications seemed to have accumulated enough. "Is there any explanation for this?"
"certainly."
Jin Mu smiled and said, "The Supreme Gods are at the top of the fantasy field. Not to mention Qi Chuyan, there are only four Supreme Gods in Qinzhou alone. This shows how difficult it is to obtain this honor. So I personally suggest that the boss consider writing fantasy literature for his next novel. If I become the Supreme God, I can also negotiate with the Silver Blue Library..."
"for example?"
“Shares!”
Jin Mu said seriously: "Boss, the share of the novels from Silver Blue Library is already very high. It is almost impossible to go further in terms of conditions and treatment. But if the boss can get the Supreme God, I think we can discuss the possibility of buying shares with Silver Blue Library. Silver Blue Library has developed very well in recent years, and its development momentum can be regarded as the first publishing company in Qinzhou. If we can get shares of this company, the speed of making money will definitely be much faster than the share of novel sales!"
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up!
It turned out that after getting the highest share, he could also strive for shares in the Silver Blue Library, which made him eager to try. There were too many works in the system, and Lin Yuan now had to spend money to redeem some songs at any time, even some songs that he could not use temporarily. As a result, part of Lin Yuan's money was deducted by the system.
Still short of money!
Then why not strive for shares of Silver Blue Bookstore and make more money? If you get shares, your cooperation with Silver Blue Bookstore will be more than just working.
In a sense.
Lin Yuan is now a working emperor. Both Xianyu and Chu Kuang are working for the company. Although the bosses treat them like treasures, it is better to invest in the company...
"Are you interested?"
Jin Mu saw Lin Yuan's interest, and he smiled and said, "It is indeed more appropriate to be a shareholder than to work for others. If other writers had this idea, Silver Blue Library would definitely disagree. But the boss's words are not that difficult. Taking a Supreme God is our token of surrender for negotiating terms. They have no reason to refuse. The publishing houses that want to cooperate with us are lining up all the way to Hanzhou. The only difference is the amount of shares they get."
Lin Yuan nodded vigorously!
In order to satisfy the system's appetite, I can't work for others. I will never work for others in my life. I don't know how to run a company by myself, so I can only be a shareholder to barely make a living...
