The straight man in the entertainment circle

Lin Li returned to Kyoto the next day and booked all the classes for this semester with the school.

Lin Li originally thought that the school would be somewhat reluctant or even disapproval.

But unexpectedly, when the school leaders heard that Lin Li was going to take a long leave, they immediately agreed.

On the one hand, the school supports Lin Li in filming. After all, Lin Li is not an ordinary student. When Yan University recruited Lin Li, it had no intention of curbing his development in the entertainment industry. Instead, it encouraged Lin Li to engage in fields where his strengths could be used.

In addition, Lin Li now has many fans in Yanda, which has somewhat affected the school's learning atmosphere. The school is naturally willing to take Lin Li off for a long time. Anyway, Lin Li took so many leaves before, and did not delay his studies at all. His grades have gone from being at the bottom of the school to becoming Top of the class.

Lin Li unexpectedly ended the semester early.

They stayed in Kyoto for two days. On the first day, Lin Li and An Xiaoxi discussed and made a concept poster for their movie.

The next day, Lin Li wrote the song he promised Leng Ying and sent it to Leng Ying.

What Leng Ying wanted was a male-female duet or a sweet love song, so Lin Li wrote him the score of "Little Dimple".

After a long time, Leng Ying didn't reply. Lin Li thought she was busy and didn't care.

In the evening, Leng Ying suddenly called.

"at home?"

"Um...what's wrong at home?"

"Go out and look for the car with license plate 6688. Come up, I'll wait for you."

Lin Li was about to ask if there was anything that couldn't be discussed over the phone, but Leng Ying decisively hung up the phone.

Lin Li had no choice but to pack up and walk out of the house.

From a distance, he saw the car Leng Ying was talking about. Lin Li recognized that car. When Sister Hua wanted to sign her contract, they had negotiated in this car.

As soon as Lin Li walked near the car, the door opened.

Leng Ying stretched out her hand, grabbed Lin Li and dragged her to the car.

Lin Li's strength was beyond Leng Ying's strength. Seeing Lin Li motionless, Leng Ying shouted awkwardly: "Come up!"

Lin Li walked into the car and said, "What's wrong? It's like they want to kidnap me!"

At this time the car started, Leng Ying smiled and said: "Yes, I want to kidnap you!"

Lin Li pretended to be scared and said: "Is it a robbery of wealth or a robbery of sex? No robbery of wealth, I will try my best to cooperate with you in robbery of sex!"

Leng Ying snorted and said, "You have a good idea!"

Lin Li said: "Did I guess wrong? Then you are trying to drag me to do something bad?"

"You'll know when the time comes." Leng Ying smiled mysteriously.

More than ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of a record agency.

Lin Li took a look and realized, isn't this the agency where Leng Ying works?

"What, you don't still want to sign me, do you?" Lin Li said helplessly.

Leng Ying pushed Lin Li gently from behind and said, "Go up and have a look."

The two of them went to the company building together. There were many people in the company. When they saw Leng Ying, no matter how big or small they were, they all affectionately called her "Sister Ying". This shows that Leng Ying's status in the company is quite high.

After the group of people finished calling Leng Ying, their expressions became more complicated when they saw Lin Li.

It felt as if they had stumbled into a relationship between the two. There was gossip hidden in their eyes, but neither of them dared to show it right away.

Leng Ying took Lin Li to a top-notch recording studio. When she opened the door, four or five people were already sitting inside. When they saw Leng Ying and Lin Li, they all stood up.

"Let me introduce, these are my royal musicians who are responsible for recording my songs." Leng Ying said to Lin Li, and then said to those people, "I don't need to introduce this one."

The few people laughed and said, "No need, who among those who make music nowadays doesn't know Lin Li."

Another said: "The same goes for those who write poetry."

"So do the people who make the ads."

These people were telling the truth, but Lin Li still felt that they were flattering him, and he finally understood why Leng Ying brought him here.

"I seem... to have been kidnapped by you?" Lin Li said.

Leng Ying smiled and said: "We all like the songs you wrote for me, but after thinking about it, you still need to be the male voice. You can't refuse. This is the interest you owe me for the song for more than half a year. The big deal... you will I’ll give you another free trip to the concert.”

Lin Li said: "That's it. If you hadn't told me earlier, it would have been over. I thought you were going to rob me!"

Everyone laughed.

Lin Li and Leng Ying entered the recording studio and started recording songs.

Lin Li was familiar with this song, and it wasn't too difficult. He could pass it in one go, but Leng Ying recorded it several times in pursuit of better results.

Although no one else said it, they were also surprised by Lin Li's ability. They had recorded many singers, but there were really not many singers who could sing a song well in one session in the recording studio.

No wonder Lin Li's rise was so terrifying. His strength was really incredible.

After recording the song, Leng Ying sent Lin Li home. The people in the recording studio were still finishing the song.

"This song is going to be a hit."

One of the music directors took off his headphones and said in admiration.

"Well, this song is very nice. It is definitely a song that young people like."

"I just listened to Lin Li's "Really Love You" the day before yesterday. Today there is another new song, and the quality is so good. I am really convinced!"

"At first, Sister Hua wanted to sign Lin Li, but this guy didn't agree. At that time, we thought Lin Li would regret it. Now it seems that our company has suffered a loss."

"No one can deny Lin Li's musical talent, but he is not very tactful."

"Yeah, to put it bluntly, I can tell that Sister Ying is a little interested in him. Sister Ying often mentioned Lin Li in front of us before. If Lin Li gets into trouble, he will fall in love with Sister Ying, and the two of them will be tied together. Bo, the influence is absolutely explosive. Back then, Zhou Siyuan and Zhou Lingling were in love for two weeks, which pushed them to the throne of King of Heaven and Queen of Heaven."

"Biweekly love, it's such a distant thing. It's no wonder that the entertainment industry is not as good as it was back then. Otherwise, with Sister Ying's ability, the little word "little diva" should be almost removed."

"Together, they can really recreate the grand occasion of bi-weekly love in those days, but we can't get involved in this matter..."

…………

Two days later, Lin Li returned to Su City. In the evening, the Lin family and the Wu family gathered together. Zhang Li prepared a table of food, saying it was for Lin Li to catch the wind.

Wu Ruobing had classes today and had evening self-study in the evening. Normally, she ate at school in order to save time.

But today she came back early. When she saw Lin Li, her first question was: "Lin Li, when will your movie be filmed?"

Lin Li said: "The filming will start in a few days."

"The person who promised me a role last time asked me to play what?"

Wu Ruobing stared at Lin Lidao. Ever since he knew that Lin Li wanted to be a director, Wu Ruobing had been nagging Lin Li to star in his movies.

Wu Ruobing's mother Zhang Li said: "You are about to take the college entrance examination, what kind of scenes are you filming! Sit down and eat!"

It's not that Zhang Li really doesn't want her daughter to act, it's just that she thought Lin Li didn't leave any roles for Wu Ruobing, so she just said this to avoid Lin Li's embarrassment.

"There is a role left for you..."

Lin Lidao said that the cast has almost been decided, and now the only thing missing is Hu Xiaodie.

This character is a student who committed suicide due to school bullying at the beginning.

The scenes are few, but very important to the movie.

Lin Li had already considered this role and asked Wu Ruobing to play it.

Wu Ruobing looks like the girl next door, innocent and pleasant. Such an image is enough to make people unable to calm down after being bullied to the point of committing suicide.

The most important thing is that Wu Ruobing doesn't have many roles, which will not affect her college entrance examination review.

When Wu Ruobing heard that Lin Li had reserved a role for herself, she was obviously a little excited. She sat down next to Lin Li and lay on Lin Li's arm, looking at him.

"What role?!"

"A character who died as soon as he started." Lin Lida said.

Wu Ruobing was obviously dissatisfied and frowned: "What kind of role is this!"

"This role is important."

"Liar, I don't believe it!"

Wu Ruobing's father Wu Yong said: "You are about to take the college entrance examination, so just play any role. It's not like you won't have opportunities in the future."

Wu Ruobing pouted and said, "This is my first time acting, so I don't want to just show my face and get a box lunch!"

Wu Ruobing said to Lin Li: "Lin Li, change the role for me."

Lin Li pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Yes, yes, but... no one can play your role."

"Why?" Wu Ruobing suddenly became curious.

"Because this character needs to be beautiful!" Lin Li said. "You want to have the feeling of pity for me, and no one else can do it except you."

Then she changed her direction and said that Wu Ruobing was beautiful. She immediately raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "If you say so...if no one else can do it except me, I...can consider it."

"We plan to go to the school to film for two days next weekend, and then we will film your part." Lin Lida said.

Wu Ruobing said: "Okay, by the way, Principal Hu has told me a long time ago that if you want to go to school to film, just call the school one day in advance, or ask me to bring you a message."

Lin Li nodded and said, "I understand."

Zhang Li smiled and said: "This girl is about to take the college entrance examination and she still doesn't give up."

"The more times this happens, the more important it is to relax occasionally." Song Wenjie said.

"Look at Aunt Song, how well she talks."

Wu Ruobing smiled sweetly at Song Wenjie.

"Lin Li, you are in Sioux City during this period anyway. If you have time, you can tutor Xiaobing. You must have not forgotten the knowledge you learned in the third year of high school, right?" Lin Changmin said.

"Lin Li has his own affairs to be busy with, so don't delay his affairs." Wu Yong said.

"What's the delay? I'm afraid that all the things this kid has learned will be returned to the teacher."

Wu Ruobing looked at Lin Li and said, "Leave me at least one night a week."

Lin Li was stunned, looked at Wu Ruobing and said, "What?"

Wu Ruobing blushed and said, "Coach me!"

"Oh...this is okay."

Wu Ruobing stepped on Lin Li's foot heavily, because Lin Li seemed to say that other things were not allowed. This was an insult to Wu Ruobing!

After the two families had dinner, Wu Ruobing rushed to school for evening self-study.

Lin Li said to his mother, "Mom, we will check out the itinerary of the actors we have scheduled later. Tomorrow we will go to a five-star hotel in Suzhou. It is best to be close to Sucheng No. 3 Middle School and book some hotel rooms for the actors."

"Okay, I know."

Lin Changmin approached the room, took out a stack of permits and handed them to Lin Li, saying, "I have applied for all the filming permits you want. Everyone knows that I applied for you, and they didn't say anything."

Lin Li felt a lot heavier after taking over these permits.

Making a movie by myself was just a feud with Guo Xiaoshan.

But now I see so many people working for free, having their salaries reduced, and having their jobs reduced, opening the door to convenience for themselves, as well as the teachers and students of my alma mater. If I don’t make this movie well, I will really be ashamed of my father Jiangdong.

Lin Li asked Yin Shiguang to find a film and television company and spend huge sums of money to rent the most advanced shooting equipment, which was also shipped to Su City.

When everything was ready, Lin Li informed all the actors to come to Suzhou in three days and prepare to start filming.

Of course, the basic publicity will also begin at this time.

Lin Li didn't want to spend a lot of money to promote the film, but even if Lin Li wanted to promote it, after investing all his money into the movie, he probably wouldn't be able to give much to the publicity company.

Therefore, Lin Li felt that he should not go to a publicity company to announce the company and spend all his money wisely.

As for the promotion of the movie, of course it cannot be done at all.

Lin Li feels that he can have a great publicity advantage in terms of theme songs and promotional songs.

Then, Lin Li opened an official Weibo account for "Young You".

I uploaded the registration number, shooting license and other information, and certified this Weibo.

After certification, it is natural to release the materials.

Generally, a movie's official WeChat account will first announce the actors one by one, put posters of the actors, and then release some filming behind-the-scenes, and finally videos such as theme songs, promotional songs, and trailers.

There are many types of movie posters, including concept posters, theme posters, character posters, promotional posters, etc.

Naturally, what the general public pays most attention to are the character posters, and discussing the movie's lineup is something that the general public likes to talk about.

But in fact, as the leading material for film promotion, concept posters convey the most important basic information of the film and shape the audience's "first impression" of the film. Wonderful work.

Lin Li only had this movie in his mind, but no related posters, so Lin Li had to think of all the posters himself.

This concept poster was finalized after a long discussion between Lin Li and An Xiaoxi when he was still in Kyoto.

The poster is very simple, with a white negative and a bright red scarf on it.

The red scarf is not placed vertically, but like a person who has fallen to the ground and is trying to get up.

The knot in this red scarf is not the flat knot used to tie a tie, but the fisherman's knot used for binding.

This is a very subtle metaphor, but what is relatively dazzling is that under the corner of the bright red scarf, there is a drop of bright red blood hanging down!

The white negative film combined with the bright red scarf has a great visual impact. The red scarf symbolizes youth.

The bow tie and blood both symbolize school violence, which is shocking.

On the edge of the red scarf are the four characters "Young You" written by Lin Li in his hand.

These four characters are powerful and sharp-edged, and seem to have a spirit of resistance.

It seems to be saying that the person in the poster who is subjected to school violence is you as a young person.

As a young man, you should have a spirit of resistance!

It can be said that this concept poster conveys the theme of the movie very well.

Lin Li and An Xiaoxi were both very satisfied.

So now that the movie is about to start filming, Lin Li naturally posted this concept poster on his official Weibo account first!
