Entertainment: Stepmother’s daughter is actually a future queen

Just over a year after the popularity of The King, political films imitating Lin Yu were released in China, and almost all of them failed miserably. The highest box office was only over 1 million. No matter how they were made, they were not like Lin Yu at all.

This head-on blow made many people realize that this trend is difficult to follow.

The popularity of "The King" has just passed, and with the arrival of the New Year, "The Insider" was released.

This movie with the king's popularity, especially Lin Yu's political movie once again, can be said to be highly anticipated, and it has been hyped from the beginning.

All kinds of announcements were made like they were free of money, but Lin Yu almost threw money at them without even frowning.

Back and forth, more than [-] million yuan has been invested and it is still not stopped. The New Year's Eve has not even started yet, and "Insider" is already the most popular and most anticipated movie.

To this end, Lin Yu, who almost never participates in variety shows, also made a guest appearance in the "Longing for Life" episode, quietly promoting the insiders on the condition of a guest appearance in the episode.

At the age of 32, The Insider, once again directing, is releasing again amid much anticipation.

In the circle, I don't know how many people secretly wanted to see Lin Yu fall off the altar, but unfortunately, this time the insiders stood still again.

In the new year, it once again leads the way with unrivaled momentum, and this time the momentum is still higher than the previous king.

Some film critics and directors went to the cinema to watch The Insider for the first time.

Especially those who have made political films before but failed in the end, they want to see what kind of film this Lin Yu can make after his second attempt.

This "Insider" movie lasts for a full three hours, which can be regarded as an extremely rare long movie.

Many people came from the cinema and could only use the word "dizzy" to describe it.

To be fair, "Insider" is far less commercial than "The King", which is a cheerful, enjoyable and well-defined advancement.

But Insider is confusing, and you barely get the gist of the movie for a long time.

Even at the end of the movie, the entire atmosphere of the movie is depressing.

But this still cannot prevent this movie from highlighting the "unrivaled" aspect throughout the New Year period.

Any movie that is touted to be better than ever, if it encounters an insider this New Year's release, it will all be defeated!
Looking at this trend, the box office of the Insider will even surpass that of the King!
It was only three days before and after the release, and film critics from all walks of life immediately started hyping it online.

"My previous evaluation of the movie King was not very high."

"It's a movie that's marketed as a political movie, but it's actually full of vulgarity. The brotherhood is so clearly exaggerated, and it's so elegant and refined that it's just a commercial movie."

"But I have to say that every improvement made by director Lin Yu is so surprising, and it is clear from the inside out."

"This time, the insider talks about the darkness in the political arena from a completely depressive perspective. It is dark until the end of the movie, describing the atmosphere where black is not black and white is not white. The situation has never been reversed. .”

"Movies from this perspective have begun to be full of sincerity. I feel more and more that Lin Shen's film taste is getting better and better."

"Although this Insider has lost its commercial nature, it has truly been enriched in terms of connotation for viewing."

"No need to mention it, five-star Amway!"

“Wall Crack Recommended!!”

"..."

One New Year's Eve, insiders swept across the country like burning Red Cliff. In one month, it cut 30 billion in box office, shocking the country again.

This movie is once again going to win awards.

People from all walks of life in the film media began to lament that nowadays, there is really nothing that can stop Lin Yu.

After the whole New Year period, in the end, this time the insiders scored a high box office of 80 billion. Although it did not break the ceiling of the total box office, this data is already quite scary.

In fact, with the normal performance of insiders, they would never be able to sell it for such a sky-high price. It can only be said that Lin Yu's popularity in the early stage was well paved.

Now Lin Yu's appeal in the market has reached an astonishing level.

"On Lin Shen's transformation path."

"Lin Yu is still in college, and his debut film was a horror film."

"How should I put it? It's a horror film without a storyline, full of new ideas and new ideas. It's purely meant to scare the audience."

"So, his high score has nothing to do with winning half a dime."

"From this point on, it is enough to see that Lin Yu is at least a very talented and thoughtful person in terms of film thinking."

"However, just after the second series of Graveyard Encounter, he began to transform, immediately abandoning the original horror film track and switching to comedy films."

"The first part of Charlotte's Trouble is the peak of its debut!"

"This movie combines comedy and sensationalism. It can be regarded as a quite exemplary comedy movie. Hello, Li Huanying, and other comedy movies produced by his film company can almost all be said to be above average."

"At this point, we almost thought he had become a comedy director."

"As a movie with the highest box office in all movie genres, there is really no reason to continue to try and transform. However, Lin Shen gave us a surprise for the third time."

"After five years of dormancy, he gave us a political film as soon as he debuted."

"And, once again, the peak is the debut."

"So, I want to ask everyone, is it possible that political films will be the end of Lin Yu?"

"I don't think so..."

"..."

In May, insiders released the film, but Lin Yu did not take the film to the peninsula for release... It was really unnecessary. Three melons and two dates, worth [-] million at best, might as well be sold online.

Moreover, you really don’t give others a way to survive, right?

The fact that Insiders did not release Peninsula almost gave the other crew a big sigh of relief, and the tension in all aspects immediately loosened.

Jiang Shihan's work also began to develop smoothly.

"Boss, it's great to have you back!"

At Qingyun Media, a group of screenwriters hugged Lin Yu's thighs, "It's really hard for us to endure the days when you're not here, woo woo woo."

"Isn't it pretty good?" Lin Yu laughed dryly.

Qingyun Media now has a lot of money, investing everywhere, and even spent [-] million as a director fund for directors with dreams, encouraging more people to make the movies they want to make.

Qingyun Media is now completely smooth sailing even without Lin Yu, ranking among the top three film production and investment companies in the country.

It’s just that there are relatively few artists under his command.

The main ones who are famous are Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Su Qingtong and Zhang Xiaofei, including the group of people next door Shen Pao.

The two companies do not focus on cultivating artists, but on making films with dreams.

"Boss, tell me what we will film next, and we will follow your lead!"

"Well, the next one... will not be a political film."

"Ah?" With one sentence, the people from Qingyun Media were stunned.

"No, boss, the photos are so good. If this continues, we will have a smooth sailing. This area will be monopolized by us!"

"That is, we will directly create an empire of political films. Who can compete with us?"

"This is a subject that no one else can understand except us."

Lin Yu chuckled.

Indeed, as long as Lin Yu wants to make them, he has a lot of political film material that can darken the peninsula.

I have to say that when it comes to scolding ourselves, the people of the Peninsula have to do a good job.

"It's boring to make too many political films." Lin Yu scratched his head. In Lin Yu's current simple concept, he no longer has much desire to make money.

No matter how much money you make, you won’t be able to spend it all.But Lin Yu has never made a truly good film that satisfies him.

"Boss, if you don't make political films, what else do you want to make?"

Lin Yu smiled and did not answer.

"talk later."

As the awards ceremony began, it did not go to the Peninsula to be screened this time, so the Peninsula won't be able to win the award. However, Lin Yu, the Huabiao Award, will undoubtedly win again.

The core awards are almost all covered, including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay!
It's a pity that Lin Yu himself didn't participate in the show, otherwise he might have won the third Best Actor Award.

……

Just when the outside world was talking a lot about what movie Lin Yu was going to make, Lin Yu just abandoned the political film and went to the United States with Guo Hao for inspection.

"Boss, you are planning to come to the United States to make a movie." Guo Hao was a little dizzy. "You are also inspecting New York. Isn't this a bit too intense?"

Lin Yu squinted his eyes and looked at the entire street, and finally found the street in his memory.

"Boss, what on earth do you want to take a picture of?" Guo Hao looked puzzled, "The pressure here is too great, and it's even more exclusive."

"The Motion Picture Union, the Screenwriters Guild, the distributor, any one of them can block you."

"It's hard to achieve results on the peninsula, why not continue?"

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes for a while and didn't answer.

"Haozi, what do you think of this neighborhood?"

Lin Yu opened his arms and gestured.

"Here..., uh, uh, how should I put it?" Guo Hao scratched his head and had many thoughts at the moment, "This half is very modern, and the other half... is very slum area?"

"It's very depressing." Lin Yu changed his angle and looked across the street. A lonely man walking on a busy street was the biggest depressant.

Guo Hao looked at Lin Yu on one side and was speechless.

He always felt that Lin Yu's thinking was a little strange now.

"Well, you never let me down when it comes to making movies."

Lin Yu smiled.

"I'll tell you when I get back."

This place is my dream shooting spot, but just like the previous question, the question is whether I can take this place down.

On the bustling street of New York, Lin Yu stood there in a daze.

At this moment, a girl with short hair, a bag on her shoulder, a scarf around her neck, and a pink mask hurried past with her head lowered. As she walked by, she looked up at Lin Yu. , and immediately walked away.

But within a few minutes, the other party turned back again.

Lin Yu was a little surprised for a moment. Was he recognized?fan?

Has your popularity spread abroad?Yes, after all, he is also Chinese.

Guo Hao looked at Lin Yu jokingly with envy in his eyes. He must be the boss after all. He can make movies and is handsome. He has fans everywhere.

"Lin, Lin Yu?"

The next second, Lin Yu heard a cry.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at the girl carefully for a while.

"S-senior sister???"

Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will be better than countless others in the world!

The two met each other in a coffee shop, each holding a coffee cup, and were silent for a long time.

The girl took off her mask, revealing a fair face. Time seemed to have left no trace on her cheeks.

A face that is still astonishingly white.

Looking at the person in front of him, Lin Yu felt a little dazed and was speechless for a long time.

Outside the coffee shop, Guo Hao looked around with his hands in his pockets.

"Why haven't you come to see me after all these years?" Huang Shan lowered her head and whispered.

She clenched the coffee cup with her five fingers, so hard that her fingers turned blue.

"Yes, sorry."

Then, there was another long period of silence and speechlessness.

"Senior sister, how have you been in these years?" Lin Yu still mustered up the courage to ask.

Huang Shan smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's not very good."

"Originally, my father lied to me to come abroad, saying that my mother was in poor health, but within two years, it was difficult to do business abroad."

"The government suppressed foreign investment and even malicious mergers and acquisitions. A few years ago, he went bankrupt."

"Originally, my family had been arranging blind dates for me, and I met a boy from Harvard who was also in the Chinese-American circle."

"When something like this happened, my parents took hundreds of thousands of dollars and just pretended it never happened... although our family gave the money back."

"Dad has been doing odd jobs outside to make money, but life was very difficult, so he later went to a slaughterhouse."

"It smells bad every day. Even though it's fully mechanized, it's still very tiring."

"There was an accident once, and my father was caught in the machine..." As she spoke, Huang Shan trembled all over and lowered her head.

"The factory compensated us a lot of money. I graduated by then and went to look for a job."

"As a result, with my academic qualifications, all the candidates I applied for were clerks."

"My mother really got sick again. In a few years, all the money saved by my father's compensation and savings over the years were spent."

“I had to work two odd jobs a day just to make ends meet.”

Speaking of this, Huang Shan smiled and said gently, "What about you?"

"I..." Lin Yu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"You must be married, right?" Huang Shan secretly looked at Lin Yu's face.

"Yes." Lin Yu took a deep breath, "I have a daughter who is in kindergarten."

"you are so happy."

After a short chat, I suddenly lost the topic to continue talking about. In fact, there was always a topic, but in this heavy and depressing atmosphere, it seemed so unreasonable to say anything.

"It's getting late, I have to go to work." Huang Shan stood up suddenly, "Ayu, I'm glad to see you here again, I thought..."

"I have seen you for the last time in my life." Huang Shan lowered her head.

Lin Yu, "..."

"I'm leaving." Huang Shan said softly, took two steps, then suddenly turned back, stood on tiptoes, and kissed Lin Yu gently on the cheek.

"It's what you owed me before. I want it back, but it's not too much." (End of Chapter)
