Chapter 190: Self-written, self-directed, and self-acted
"Charlotte troubles? What the hell is this name?"
"Is there one less word 'of' missing? Could it be that Lin Yi wants to make a foreign film?"
"Worship the foreign and flatter, resist Lin Yi!"
"Upstairs is rough, foreigners have also photographed the last emperor, does Lao Mei worship China?"
Tianyi Culture's official blog update, announcing that the launch ceremony of the new film "Charlotte's Troubles" will be held on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and various comments flew up for a while, but the official blog did not have any comments, and even no one said what type of drama fans are most concerned about.

Fortunately, there are only two days before the ninth day of the new year, and it is the New Year, so everyone also has other pastimes to play, and the noise will fade after a while.
Lin Yi couldn't calm down at all, and it was easy to rush to Zhongzhou, but when he saw Cao Xiaoxue, he felt a little awkward after all, this should be regarded as a betrayal?
But fortunately, there is not much time for him to feel guilty, and the preparations for the start of the new film are very busy.
Tianyi Film and Television has been under the management of Ma Chunqiang's uncle, and is completely on the right track, this new film is naturally based on Tianyi Film and Television, and the shooting location is divided into Beijing and Zhongzhou, the capital side mainly shoots more luxurious scenes, and Zhongzhou mainly shoots scenes from the nineties of the last century - even if you want to shoot this kind of scene in Beijing, you can't find a suitable location.
Photography, props, costumes and other crew members are ready-made, but before the start of filming, Lin Yi needs to communicate with everyone, and set the structure of his entire film, so that each group can prepare - for example, when filming a scene in the 90s, it is naturally necessary to prepare the costumes, props, and sets of that era first, right? There are also group performances, even if there are no lines, but the appearance and image must always conform to the characteristics of that era, right? You can't find a guy with a mohican hairstyle to play Charlotte's classmate, right?
Lin Yi was busy communicating and coordinating with the people in each group, and Cao Xiaoxue also flew to the capital first, preparing for the start-up press conference, and coordinating various issues with the partners this time.
In this film, Lin Yi only let the oil depot participate in 30% of the shares, and Baolihou, who heard the news, wanted to intervene in his life, Lin Yi had no choice but to give him 10%, as for Mr. Yu, who was Bona, Lin Yi didn't even answer his phone, and made it clear that he wouldn't play with him at all!
Who made this girl not give it last time?
What is a little surprising is that Huayi also sent someone to contact Cao Xiaoxue, hoping to participate in this film, and even willing to pay more money and share less into the bank. This is obviously Huayi's goodwill, although Lin Yi sued Huayi last time, but in the end, Director Zhao came forward and said a few words, and Lin Yi raised his hand and let it go - after all, Huayi is a top film and television company in China, and it is being ordered to open up overseas markets, trying to bring Chinese film and television to the world, and the top does not want to watch it fall.
Although that incident has passed, it is obvious that Huayi also recognizes the strength of Lin Yi's opponent, and this is an opportunity to show goodwill.
Of course, Lin Yi will not accept Huayi's participation, this is a high-quality project carefully selected by himself, not only to make money, but also to earn word of mouth, how can it be cheap for outsiders?
So, it was finally finalized that the production budget of "Charlotte" was 20 million, the publicity budget was 20 million, and the total investment value was 40 million, and Tianyi needed to bear 24 million.
This amount of money is still not a small amount for Tianyi, after all, the box office of "Wan Wan" has not been completely recovered.
But fortunately, the production cycle takes more than half a year, as long as the funds for the production period are in place first, it is enough. With the current situation of soaring online advertising, if nothing else, it is enough to calculate the share of replay advertising for the old dramas that the oil depot cooperates with.
The conditions that have been negotiated a few years ago, the most important thing for Cao Xiaoxue to enter Beijing is to urge them to put the funds in place, and in addition, everyone has launched a relationship and invited more media to participate in the opening ceremony of the new film.
Chinese New Year, entertainment reporters are boring to report on the Spring Festival Gala all day long, at this time, there is a new film to start, of course, I am happy to come to participate, but the car and horse fee of three or five hundred yuan per person is easy to get, and I just happened to send a non-Spring Festival Gala-related report to change the taste.
So, at ten o'clock in the morning of the ninth day of the first lunar month, the originally scheduled business hall could not accommodate so many reporters, and it was necessary to temporarily change to a large business hall, which successfully held the start-up press conference.
"Don't you feel a little strange when you see the name of the movie? Charlotte is troubled? Is the protagonist a foreigner?" Lin Yi stood on the stage and said with a smile, "I can clearly tell you that there is no foreign actor in this movie at all, and the protagonist is definitely Chinese." Our name is Charlotte, Te Trouble!"
couldn't help but burst into laughter at the scene, everyone could see that Lin Yi's new film was obviously deliberately done like this, a hype gimmick.
"From the title of the film, everyone knows that this is a movie about the troubles of a man named Charlotte. Lin Yi continued, "This is an urban film, which contains dreams, love, and even fantasy, and the content is very fresh in domestic films, which is guaranteed to be refreshing for everyone." As for the specific content, it will be kept secret for the time being......"
A lot of media coaxed, but Lin Yi definitely wouldn't say anything about the content of the film, and he wouldn't even reveal the general structure.
Next up is about the actors.
When Lin Yi announced that he would personally play the actor Charlotte, the scene inevitably died again.
There are indeed a lot of directors, many directors have their own habits of playing cameo roles, and even the master Hitchcock insisted on showing his face in every one of his films, and as for being the protagonist, it is not too much. The key problem is that this guy is too young, and he hasn't graduated from college yet!
As for whether Lin Yi has this ability, there is basically no doubt!
Although "Old Boy" was filmed by others, although he only played half of the roles, it was the first micro-film record with more than 100 million on-demand views!
And "Wan Wan", which has just been released, has also starred in the big match of Monkey King, and it also performed very well, and some netizens have even called it the most representative and distinctive image of Monkey King in addition to "Journey to the West" and Xingye Supreme Treasure!
Judging from this disassembly, Lin Yi's screenwriting ability is good, the director's level has also withstood the test, and his acting skills are even more appreciated, he already has all the basic conditions for self-writing, directing and acting!
Now, it's time to see if he has the ability to fully integrate this skill and present it perfectly.
There is no doubt that this new film with a bad name has whetted the appetite of these media people, and a big report will definitely be inevitable......
