604: Chapter 604 Zheng Hai's Curse

What does the name Lin Chuyan represent?

In the past, whenever this person was mentioned, his labels were 'sharp-tongued' and 'maverick,' and he had no notable works; later, he became a Singer and an actor, and surprisingly, he was actually quite decent; after that, he became a Best Actor, a Best TV Actor, and a famous Asian superstar; now, he is an international superstar and an industry authority, practically a big shot in the circle.

But what leaves the deepest impression is his daring to speak and act, and how he keeps his word.

Haters can no longer find any dirt on him now. Whenever they open their mouths, it's just awkward bashing that only makes people laugh.

The truth is, anyone with a bit of eloquence can talk trash. What's rare is that he doesn't stop there; he uses concrete actions to defend his words.

When he first stood up against directors in the circle, some said he was just risking his life to seek attention. But later, after he was blacklisted in retaliation and then won The Oscars, the idlers all shut up.

After that, when he criticized the current film industry for lacking culture at a seminar, some felt he was talking big. As it turned out, he didn't just talk; he turned around and founded a company, starting to support new actors and directors, effectively silencing everyone.

And now, Yanyu Animation, after the hit of 'ne zha,' has started to enter the public eye. But it was only after this live interview that everyone realized 'ne zha' and the like were just the tip of the iceberg!

A mythology universe to rival Marvel, a massive theme park to rival Disney... Isn't Lin Chuyan's ambition a bit too big?

Honestly, if anyone else had said this, everyone would just scoff: "Who are you? Dreaming? It's broad daylight, it's not even time for that yet."

But since it's Lin Chuyan saying this, for some reason, netizens actually started to feel a sense of anticipation...

Think about it, ever since he made his comeback, everything he has said seems to have come true...

Think about it again, he isn't just painting a pie in the sky. 'ne zha' is still showing, and this is a verified work! Can we really look forward to this?

If Lin Chuyan actually manages to pull this off... netizens are truly excited this time.

[If the big talk Lin Chuyan is spouting can come true, I'll be a jerk if I ever hate on him again!]

[Hate? Let me see who is still hating on Lin Chuyan? From now on, I am at odds with the Haters! We are sworn enemies!]

[If Lin Chuyan can pull off the mythology universe and the theme park, he will be my dad from now on.]

[Lin Chuyan, keep it up. If there are any difficulties, tell your brother. Don't give up, I want to watch 'Yang Jian'!]

[Regardless of whether Lin the Dog is painting a pie, he is actually doing real work. Damn, I don't want to go to Disney, I really want to go to the mythology theme park!]

The audience of 'ne zha' and the fans of Lin Chuyan are already spreading the word.

[Brothers, do you know what to do? Want to see the mythology universe? Then support Director Lin's movie and let him earn more! Let's go for a second viewing of 'ne zha'!]

[That's true. When Yanzi earns money, he really spends it where it counts—either investing in movies or donating. Others earn money and buy luxury cars and find beauties, but he is devoted in his relationships. As far as I know, the two cars he has now were still the ones Ruan Xingyu gave him. He really is a good young man with ideals. If you don't support such a star, who do you want to support in this entertainment circle?]

This makes sense.

Didn't you see that Maoyan has also quietly adjusted the box office forecast for 'ne zha'?

"4.8 billion? That's still looking down on 'ne zha' a bit." Lin Chuyan shook his head.

"What's your prediction?" Yang Xiaozhou was very interested in Lin Chuyan's prediction.

"What is the box office of the current number one movie in the country?"

His own 'la la land,' if only counting domestic box office, was only ranked 12th, which was really not much to look at.

"A little over 5.7 billion."

"Then let's see if there's a chance to reach the top. People need to have ideas, didn't you see I'm already aiming for a small goal?"

In his previous life, he remembered that the box office of the first 'ne zha' should have been a little over 5 billion, ranking exactly in the top five. But in this life, with his buff of 'painting big pies,' maybe it could go further? He had promised Yang Xiaozhou that he would return to the country to help promote and support him, and now he could be considered to have kept his promise.

"I'll be satisfied with half a small goal." Yang Xiaozhou laughed happily, "Enough talk, I'm going back to ponder 'nezha 2'."

Number one in domestic box office history? Before the movie was released, how could he dare to think in that direction?

"Alright, wait to split the money. Only with money do we have the confidence for willful creation."

He and Yang Xiaozhou had been partners from the very beginning. Lin Chuyan was very satisfied with this. The deeper their interests were intertwined, the stronger their relationship would be, not to mention they had the same cause to strive for.

Lin Chuyan would not participate in the subsequent promotion of 'ne zha'; it could proceed normally.

He had too many things to be busy with now. Minor matters would naturally be handled by others, but he couldn't avoid some things.

First is the editing and special effects of 'mr. & mrs. smith.' Only after they are finished can it be submitted for review and get the dragon mark. As long as there is no problem with the film, with the help of China Film Group, it will definitely be released as scheduled during the Spring Festival Movie Season. Now the headache is for other movies in the same period—a commercial film by an Oscar-winning actress and a Best Director. It just depends on who has the courage to compete.

There is also the compilation of 'three-region film set notes.' The current progress is good, and Director Chu Dong's preface has been written. It is not far from publication. It is worth mentioning that the preface is really well written. Director Chu Dong first recalled his impression of Lin Chuyan when he first met him, then recalled some unknown details about Lin Chuyan when filming 'pegasus 2,' then commented on why this book is good, and finally summarized and sublimated the theme, which is basically that Lin Chuyan is awesome... It was progressive, engaging, easy to understand, and beautifully written. As expected of you, Director Chu Dong.

Then there is the submission of 'crazy stone.' Director Li Hao had already finished editing the film, but he was not very confident before submitting it for review, saying he hoped that a big director like Lin Chuyan could take a look at it. After Lin Chuyan finished watching it, he knew it was stable. The problem now is the release schedule. It is definitely too late for this year—'ne zha' is playing during the National Day holiday, and the Spring Festival Movie Season belongs to 'mr. & mrs. smith.' It can only wait until after the New Year.

In addition, the actors of 'soldiers sortie' have finally finished their military training, and the TV series is about to start filming. As a screenwriter and one of the investors, Lin Chuyan naturally has to go there to show support. Seeing Wang Yongqiang again, this guy is even darker, which makes his teeth look whiter, and he looks very likable. Lin Chuyan has no requirements for Wang Yongqiang because the other party is more attentive to filming than Lin Chuyan, and he doesn't need to worry about it at all—Yanzi had to take care of dating when he was filming, while Wang Yongqiang has no woman in his heart, truly immersed in the role without distraction...

Finally, Lin Chuyan also has to prepare to release his brand new album—a Cantonese album. This matter had actually been discussed with Zheng Hai a long time ago, and the songs were almost selected, but because he had been abroad, he really didn't have time to record the songs. Fortunately, he could stay in Beijing for a few months after returning to the country this time. Lin Chuyan didn't even think about it and agreed to Zheng Hai: "I must find time to record the new album!"

However, Zheng Hai didn't believe him: "Why do I feel that every time you record a song, something unexpected happens?"

Lin Chuyan: "What kind of accident could there be? Why don't I remember? Brother, you're overthinking it! Wait a moment, let me answer a call, it's Director Yu's call."

"Which Director Yu? The Director Yu from the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Yes."
