Chapter 22 Director Tian, say something, Director Tian!
When Lin Yu opened his eyes, he was stunned for several seconds before he realized that he was in the dormitory where he had stayed last night.
The bed was still a bit cold for one person, and he subconsciously reached out to touch it.
Ah, I miss it.
Lin Yu woke everyone up one by one before taking his toothbrush cup and towel to wash up.
After spending a month with these three guys, I feel like we get along quite well.
If you can lend a hand, then do so; if you really can't, then you can only respect their fate.
After washing up, Lin Yu strolled back to the dormitory and told them about the movie they were going to make while they were still awake.
After washing up and returning to the dormitory, Lin Yu patted the door frame to attract the attention of the three brothers: "I have an announcement to make. Your dad, that is, me, is about to start making a movie."
The dormitory fell silent for a moment.
Then the three brothers went back to their own business.
Wang Yanyang walked over and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, saying earnestly, "Brother Yu, I know you might be under a lot of pressure dating Nazha. How about this, I'll treat you to a foot massage tonight to help you relax."
Lin Yu sighed, took out the script and storyboard from the drawer, and threw them on his desk.
"Take a look yourself. I've already reported it to Dean Wang Jinsong." Lin Yu patted the script on the table. "The script and storyboard are all done."
The three brothers stopped moving in unison.
Li Chao leaned over, flipped through a couple of pages of the script, and glanced at the storyboard. His eyes widened like saucers: "Holy crap, are they serious?"
"We've almost finished casting," Lin Yu said, leaning back in his chair. "Any of my three sons interested in taking on part-time jobs on set?"
The three brothers only realized what was happening after hearing this.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Chao sprinted forward, grabbed Lin Yu's leg, and began to wail, "If you don't abandon me, I'm willing to become your godfather!"
Wang Zihong, that shrewd one, grabbed the unopened can of cola from Lin Yu's desk and chugged it down in one go: "Brother Yu, enough said, watch your little brother perform a 'Little Whirlwind' for you! *gulp gulp gulp* *burp*"
"Holy crap, I just bought a Coke." Lin Yu was about to go over to stop him when Li Chao grabbed his legs tightly, making it impossible for him to move.
These two grandsons actually work together quite well!
Wang Yanyang walked up to Lin Yu, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said solemnly, "Don't say anything more, brother. I'll cover the cost of foot baths this year."
Perhaps it's because autumn and winter are here, but this Northeastern kid is especially nostalgic for the traditional health care services back home, and he can't stop talking about foot baths.
Doesn't he know? I, Huang, am sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!
"Alright, stop fooling around." Lin Yu kicked Li Chao, who was clinging to his leg, away. "You guys can forget about being actors. Just follow the logistics and production staff and help out. Learn as much as you can."
A hint of disappointment flashed across the three brothers' faces, but they quickly became excited again.
After all, the opportunity to learn on a movie set is rare enough.
Looking at the three brothers' expressions, Lin Yu added, "They get paid, and there's a daily allowance for meals and transportation."
Since it wasn't his own money, Lin Yu didn't feel bad spending it.
At the dinner party the night before last, Han Sanping and Lin Yu finalized the investment in just a few words.
The situation at the scene was roughly like this.
Lin Yu: "Uncle Han, I've done the calculations, and I estimate the filming cost will be around five million. I'll cover part of it myself, and could you help me out with the rest?"
Han Sanping: "Nephew, what are you saying? What can five million do? This is your first time making a movie, how could I, as your uncle, not support you? Four million plus the adaptation rights, that's 60% of the share, that's settled. China Film Group will also handle the publicity and distribution."
Wang Jinghua was a shrewd woman; how could she let such an opportunity slip by? She immediately decided to invest two million for a 20% stake. She also actively promoted her own actors.
Of course, these are not the main points.
The key point is that Lin Yu used the pretext of making a movie to swindle ten million yuan from his second brother.
He probably won't go back, right? Probably...?
Lin Yu currently has plenty of funds and has no intention of transferring a portion of the investment to himself.
Therefore, when he was preparing the business plan, he planned to raise the salaries and subsidies of the participants to the highest level in the industry.
Yes, Lin Yu did not have a business plan when he received the investment.
He never believed the nonsense that "high salaries make people lazy".
He only believes in two things: leave professional matters to professionals; and if you pay enough, even unprofessional people will become professional.
When the three brothers heard that there would be wages and subsidies, they looked at each other and said in unison, "We'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Yu!"
Lin Yu looked at the three who were still clowning around and almost laughed in anger: "Why are you going through fire and water? Are you playing the gangsters? Go find some books to read in the next few days, so you won't be completely clueless when you get on set."
"Mission accomplished, sir!" The three brothers gave another standard military salute, laughing and joking.
Lin Yu shook his head and added quietly, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, this film will be directed on-site by Dean Wang Jinsong and Professor Tian Zhuangzhuang from the Directing Department."
The air in the dormitory seemed to freeze instantly.
The smiles on the three brothers' faces disappeared at a visible speed, and their rosy complexions gradually turned pale.
"If I embarrass myself in my own department, I can just laugh it off. But if I embarrass myself in front of the directing department, I don't know what will happen."
"Hey, why aren't you three laughing anymore?"
-----------------
"Director Tian, Professor Tian, say something! How's the script?"
Wang Jinsong was particularly "lively" in front of Tian Zhuangzhuang.
After all, the rivalry between the acting department and the directing department at Taipei Film Academy has a long history.
Everyone in the industry knows that directors who graduate from directing programs generally don't like to use actors from acting programs, and Wang Jinsong has always remembered this.
If we weren't concerned about the impact, do you think the directing department would still have a single intact piece of glass?
"Well, he's just a freshman after all," Wang Jinsong said modestly. "He might still lack experience, and the script and storyboard probably have some shortcomings."
He was practically dancing on the table in front of Tian Zhuangzhuang.
"Director Tian, please say something," Wang Jinsong added, "If you really don't like it, you can just call any student to give you some guidance, even a senior would do."
Lin Yu stood to the side, really wanting to stop Old Man Wang.
This is, after all, the directing department's territory. I'm really afraid that Director Tian will smash his cup as a signal, and four or five hundred axemen who are lying in ambush will suddenly rush out from all sides and cut me and the dean down.
Tian Zhuangzhuang sighed and reluctantly put down the script.
In his opinion, the script was really good. Although it was an adaptation, it had its own style in terms of localization and the overall theme of the script.
At least none of my current students have reached that level.
Looking at the shot composition, the quality is also extremely high.
Even the second-year students in the department who haven't learned much can use this storyboard to create a high-quality work.
Tian Zhuangzhuang raised her head, looked at the smug Wang Jinsong, and then at Lin Yu standing to the side.
Silently, she pulled a form from the drawer and handed it to Lin Yu.
Lin Yu took it and looked at it.
