Chapter 38: Looking Up, You Can See the Big Dipper

On the evening of July 2005, 7, "Crazy Stone" held its premiere at a club center in Beijing.

It’s a pity that it’s not the Great Hall, Lin Yicheng feels a little disappointed.

In addition to Han Sanye, Xie Xiaojing, Wang Hongwei and others, many big names in the circle also came, such as Wang Zhonglei from Huayi, Wang Changtian from Guangguang, and Yu Dong from Bona.

They were very curious and wanted to see the quality of the movie that China Film and Qingdao Film Group promoted so heavily.

Many celebrities and famous directors also came, but of course they were not there for Lin Yicheng.

Although Lin Yicheng is very popular, he is still a rookie after all. Especially in the film industry, he is still a junior and does not have that much face.

They were even more attracted to Master Han Sanye. Since Master Han had already invited them, who would dare not come as long as they were free?

Of course, it is also directed at the many reporters on the scene.

It not only gives face to Mr. Han San, but also increases exposure and benefits, it's the best of both worlds!

The four leading ladies included Zhou Gongzi and Xu Cairen, the two iced girls also came, and there were also Ge ​​You, Zhang Guoli and his wife, Huang Xiaoming, Gao Yuanyuan and other popular young actors and actresses.

Feng Kuazi brought his wife, Wang Shuo, Liu Zhenyun, Guan Hu, Zhao Baogang and other famous directors.

From time to time, big stars walked on the red carpet outside the door, attracting the flashes of reporters and cheers from the audience.

The stars gathered together, shining brightly. In Feng Kuzi's words, "When you look up, you can see the Big Dipper!"

Lin Yicheng stood at the door, welcoming and thanking, smiling, his face almost frozen.

No matter who they come for, they are guests and should be welcomed warmly.

After all the guests entered, the staff also greeted the media reporters present and some lucky audience members who had grabbed tickets to enter.

And check each one to see if they are carrying any photographic equipment.

We have to be on guard against it. Piracy is rampant these days. Once it leaks out, it will have a huge impact on the movie.

This is a devastating blow especially for a movie like "Crazy Stone" which has no special effects and which is not much different when watched in the cinema or on a computer.

……

After the opening, the host gave a speech, and then Lin Yicheng brought the main creators to the stage.

"Teacher Guo Tao is a very good actor. It is my honor to work with him."

"I was shocked by Teacher Liu Hua's performance. I don't know how to describe it."

"Huang Bo is the person who suffered the most in this play. He has contributed a lot to this play and is very dedicated."

"Teacher Xu Zheng has made a breakthrough, and everyone will see a different him in the movie."

...Lin Yicheng praised the actors one by one, throwing out compliments as if they were free.

The actors also said that they learned a lot from working with Lin Yicheng. He is a very talented and capable director and they look forward to working with him again in the future.

Everyone is carrying the fancy sedan, and it is not surprising that they flatter each other in business.

……

When the time was almost up, Lin Yicheng and others went on stage, the lights in the auditorium were turned off, and the screen lit up.

After the dragon mark, a splash-ink painting appeared.

On a small boat on the quiet water, a little man was lying and sleeping soundly.

The sky is filled with stars, the water and the sky are one color, distant and magnificent.

The Milky Way hangs high in the sky and a small boat floats in the water.

It is just like "In the dream, I don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams that overwhelm the stars."

Then, the words "Xinghe Film and Television Media Co., Ltd." appeared.

Lin Yicheng spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to hire someone to make this LOGO, and he is very satisfied with it.

After the icons of China Film and Blue Film appeared one after another, the camera showed a cable car hanging on a cableway.

Xie Xiaomeng said to the beautiful woman: "Every time I look at this city from this angle, I feel strongly that the city is the mother and we live in her womb..."

This is different from the original drama. Lin Yicheng adjusted the order of subtitles and pictures to achieve the purpose of making a striking first impression.

As the beautiful woman's high heels stepped down, Xie Xiaomeng screamed. Some laughter appeared in the auditorium.

A can of Cola fell from the sky. In the close-up shot, the can became bigger and bigger, and finally fell down and turned into a few big words: "Crazy Stone"!
The screen went black and subtitles appeared.

Screenwriter/Director: Lin Yicheng

Finally, there was only one line of bold font on the entire screen: Director Lin Yicheng's work

This kind of hint is relatively rare in mainland films. Only big directors like Zhang Yimou will use it. But when Lin Yicheng used it, his ambition was very obvious.

……

In the first few minutes of the movie, many people in the auditorium were a little confused and there was some noise.

Lin Yicheng was not worried at all and let the bullets fly for a while.

Sure enough, as the plot continued to unfold, the noise disappeared and everyone stared at the screen intently.

Especially those reporters and film critics, they looked at the screen but kept taking notes in the notebook with the pen in their hand, which really showed their skill.

Manager Qin said mockingly: "Old Xie, we haven't received salary for eight months, why are you doing so well?"

"If you ask me, we should ask everyone to be laid off as soon as possible. This is the kind of thing we should do. The sooner we die, the sooner we will be reborn."

There was some laughter in the room, and Manager Qin's callous and ruthless personality was established.

When they got to the car crash site, they said, "Damn it, it's high-tech, driverless! Didn't you see it? Don't touch me. If you can't drive, don't drive!"

The BMW logo froze for a second, and I'm sure the sponsors were very satisfied.

There was also laughter in the field.

The movie kept on playing, and every few minutes, it would elicit a laugh.

Feng Kuazi frowned and whispered to his wife Xu Fan, "This kid is quite capable! He can catch the audience's laughter."

Feng Kuzi thought that he was a top figure in the film and television circles and the comedy world, and only Zhou Xingchi was qualified to be compared with him. But now, a sense of pressure inexplicably emerged in his heart.

……

"Are you done? You want to be romantic, but you're wasting money first. How can you pick on a girl if you don't have money?"

"You women just don't understand. This is the rising period of my career. How can I walk away?"

"Quality, pay attention to your quality!"

As the plot progresses, people understand what is going on. It has multiple narrative lines and black humor.

"You insulted my personality and my intelligence!"

……

"We are not married, but we have true love! ... There is no law, what kind of lawyer are you!"

"No one cares, right? Today I will administer justice!"

The laughter came one after another, like a surging river, endless.

Ordinary audiences see the happiness and feel tense and relaxed along with the characters in the play.

Journalists and critics took notes of the audience and the highlights of the show.

It’s not bad to earn enough to cover writing fees and travel expenses.

Industry insiders, especially Wang Zhonglei, Wang Changtian, Yu Dong and others, saw the potential for this movie to be a big hit.

Not to mention the audience, they all laughed along many times.

Several people had the same idea in their minds: This movie might be a hit!

Their eyes all turned to where Lin Yicheng was, and they all had different thoughts in their minds.

Some people are thinking about treating him to a beheading and accepting him as a dog. Some people are thinking about whether they can cooperate with him and eat meat together. Some people are thinking about what impact it will have on themselves and the company if they let this guy develop.
At this moment, Lin Yicheng left an extremely deep impression on the bigwigs of the film and television companies in the circle!
