After returning to the hotel where "I'm Not the God of Medicine" stayed, Lin Yuan took a shower and lay on the bed early.
Directors like Wu Ershan and Cao Baoping told him before that it would be much easier to make a movie with him. At that time, he thought they were just talking politely. But now that he is a director, he knows that if the actor finds the right person,
It can indeed be considered as getting twice the result with half the effort.
The director's position is a bit complicated. If the movie is shot smoothly, the director is basically only responsible for shouting "stuck", but the director cannot just shout "stuck".
As for other things, I don’t say how proficient you have to be, but at least you have to know a little bit about so many things in the crew.
Where is the problem and where is the problem, so that it can be seen at a glance.
Otherwise, it would be no problem to just find someone on the street and call for a card. But when I look at the problems in the camera, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't find the problem. This obviously means I can't be a director.
Directors are not required to be able to do professional things such as lighting and modeling, but they must be able to watch!
What Lin Yuan has to do now is to ensure that there are no problems with the performances of various departments and actors in front of the monitor, and then at the end shout out the word "pass" that everyone wants to hear.
However, he needs to control every detail such as photography, lighting, scenery and even the actors' performances. In fact, it is not simple at all.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be lying on the bed enjoying this moment of relaxation.
After the first day of shooting, Lin Yuan finally understood why big directors like to use the original cast to shoot sequels. In addition to meeting the needs of the audience, there is probably another big reason, which is to reduce the friction of the crew.
Expect.
A good crew can save the director a lot of trouble. It's like recruiting a bunch of amateur photographers to shoot a movie. No matter how hard they shoot a shot, the final picture will look ordinary, even if the director knows it.
If there's something wrong with the lens, there's nothing you can do about it unless you do it yourself.
However, if it were replaced by a group of top photographers, and every shot would be full of lens feel, it would not be much worse.
Fortunately, the crew brought together by Enlight Media is quite good in the industry. I believe that after a period of running-in, the subsequent filming will be much smoother.
Just when Lin Yuan was thinking about the filming of "The God of Medicine", a call suddenly came to his mobile phone.
The call was from Director Li Lu.
Before the phone call, Lin Yuan knew that Director Li Lu was looking for him because it must be related to the TV series "In the Name of the People".
Sure enough, after Lin Yuan answered the phone, Director Li Lu first exchanged greetings with Lin Yuan, asked about Lin Yuan's current situation, and then got to the main topic: "Lin Yuan, our TV series will be released soon, you
Since a movie is being filmed there, you definitely won’t be able to come to the show, but I’d still like you to help promote it on social media like Weibo.”
The filming of the TV series was actually completed in the middle of last year, but due to the sensitive subject matter, it was not reviewed until this year.
As soon as it passed the review, Hunan Satellite TV immediately put "In the Name of the People" on the screening schedule. They were afraid that something would happen later, which also caused their crew's publicity work to be advanced to now.
"Director Li, don't worry about this. I'm still the leading actor no matter what, so why don't you help promote the movie?" Lin Yuan assured him on the other end of the phone, patting his chest.
If his movie "The God of Medicine" hadn't just started filming, let alone promoting the TV series "In the Name of the People" on Weibo, there would be no problem even letting him participate in variety shows.
The reason is very simple. Lin Yuan invested a total of 40 million, accounting for 40%, and is the largest investor in this TV series. Although the screening rights of the TV series have been sold, the online screening rights are still in the hands of the crew.
If the ratings of the TV series are high enough, are we still worried that the online screening rights will not be sold?
As the largest investor in the TV series "In the Name of the People", can Lin Yuan not promote this TV series well?
At this point, Lin Yuan also took the initiative to ask: "Director Li, has the show time of the TV series been decided?"
"It has been decided that it will premiere on Hunan Satellite TV's Golden Eagle Private Theater on March 4th." Li Lu announced the premiere time of "In the Name of the People".
"Okay, I will cooperate with the crew to promote it." Lin Yuan agreed directly.
Coincidentally, Lin Yuan has filmed three TV series in total. In addition to the web drama "Remaining Crime", "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" and "In the Name of the People" were both broadcast on Hunan Satellite TV. The former directly set a new domestic weekly broadcast record
TV series's ratings record, I wonder if the latter can break this record.
...
After a night's rest, Lin Yuan woke up very early the next day.
As the director of the crew, he has to arrive at the set with the crew and arrange the scene in advance.
Before seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Yuan was eating morning ginseng while directing the props team to set up the scene. After a while, the crew could all arrive before filming could begin.
After a while, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao also arrived at the filming set in a nanny car. At a glance, they saw Lin Yuan, who was narrating a scene for the special actors.
Xu Zheng was not in a hurry to put on makeup. He walked directly to Lin Yuan and said with a smile: "Director Lin, you are here very early."
"Don't you have to come here in advance to make preparations? Otherwise, if you let a big star like Brother Zheng wait, what if you get angry and act like a big star?" Lin Yuan joked.

"No, I don't dare to act big with you." Xu Zheng waved his hand and said quickly: "I'd better put on makeup and get ready for filming."
Lin Yuan stood up and looked around the set. He saw that everyone in the crew was staying in their seats, waiting for Lin Yuan to give the order to start filming!
He turned his head, looked at the executive director next to him, and asked, "Are you all ready?"
The executive director glanced at the dressing room and then explained: "Not yet, the actors are putting on makeup, and I haven't had time to tell them the story yet."
Lin Yuan nodded and sat back in front of the monitor: "Okay, you'll give a special speech first."
"Okay Director Lin."
The executive director responded, took the script and stood outside the dressing room, waiting for the actors to put on their makeup.
Yesterday's incident involving Lin Yuanxun, the photographer and the leader of the lighting team, was seen by the crew. They knew very well how strict Lin Yuan was as a director.
Nowadays, no one wants to touch Lin Yuan's brow, so they don't dare to slack off in their own work.
While the executive director was explaining the scene to these special actors, Lin Yuan also checked the photography and lighting again.
Half an hour later, today's shooting officially started!
"The sixth scene of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", one shot, the first time!"
"start!"
This was the first scene today, and Lin Yuan didn't even use the walkie-talkie in his hand, shouting with great energy.
The crew members on the set also knew very well that Lin Yuan was trying to cheer them up, so they were extra cautious and tried their best to ensure that they did not make any mistakes.
Today's scene is mainly about patients marching to protest against pharmaceutical companies.
For the extra actors, this scene can be said to be very simple. They don’t need to say any lines anyway, and they won’t be given any close-ups.
Among the protesting crowd, Lu Yiyi, played by Lin Yuan, was the most calm. Seeing the patients crowding around the entrance of the pharmaceutical company and shouting slogans, he remained unmoved and continued to bite the chicken legs and turn the pages.
Rolling eyes, a look that is commonplace and at the same time a little disdainful.
"Okay! Card!"
After Ning Hao finished shouting for help, Lin Yuan also walked from the studio to the monitor, ready to see how the shooting was going.
Before Lin Yuan walked to the monitor, Ning Hao said with a smile: "Director Lin, you are in good condition today. You have mastered all body movements, expressions and language. Did you secretly ponder the script last night?"
"Director Ning, let's see what you said, did I perform poorly yesterday?" Lin Yuan teased while looking at the effects of the film he had just shot.
Looking at the picture on the monitor, he finally understood why Ning Hao said he was in good condition.
In addition to his performance, the camera crew also provided very timely shots, capturing almost everything Lin Yuan wanted to express.
Although this scene was relatively simple, it was the first one-shot scene that the crew had done, and Lin Yuan was still very satisfied.
"That's right, we've passed this. Let's take a break. We'll start filming the scene on time in half an hour!"
As Lin Yuan's voice fell, there was a burst of cheers on the set.
However, this did make some crew members curious, why doesn't Director Lin seem to be as strict as yesterday?
...
Taking advantage of the break between filming, Lin Yuan also took out his mobile phone and logged into his Weibo account.
Last night, Director Li Lu asked him to help promote the TV series. Since it was too late, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to post updates, but now that he is free, Lin Yuan must still promote the TV series "In the Name of the People".
Lin Yuan looked at Xu Zheng beside him and said, "Brother Zheng, help me get the phone and I'll record a promotional video."
"Promotional video?" Xu Zheng took Lin Yuan's phone and asked doubtfully: "Is there another movie going to be released?"
Before Lin Yuan could speak, he muttered to himself again: "It shouldn't be. The Spring Festival is almost over. It's released at this time. If it's not about eating...then it can't keep up with the heat?"
Seeing Xu Zheng whispering here, Lin Yuan quickly explained: "It's a TV series, the previous one "In the Name of the People"."
Hearing this, Xu Zheng suddenly reacted.
The previous incident in which the crew of "In the Name of the People" was divested by its management caused quite a stir in the industry.
Later, Lin Yuan invested 40 million, which solved the urgent need of the crew and also left a good reputation in the circle.
Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought it was a new movie starring you that was released. I was shocked."
A normal actor like him can only make two starring movies in a year at most. If he is a more model worker, he may be like Huang Bo, who may have three movies released a year, but if he is like Lin Yuan, only one Spring Festival movie will be released.
It's really hard to find many movies with two starring actors released.
If a movie starring Lin Yuanxin is really released, I'm afraid that by the time of the National Day, the tens of billions box office winner will be able to directly announce Lin Yuan's name.
"Okay, tell me the words."
Xu Zheng took his mobile phone and pointed the camera at Lin Yuan.
"Hello fans, I am actor Lin Yuan. The anti-corruption TV series "In the Name of the People", starring Zhang Fengyi, Wu Gang, Zhang Zhijian and other teachers, will premiere on the evening of March 4th on Hunan Satellite TV. I hope that fans
Friends can give you more support..."
The promotional video was not long, only a short twenty seconds, and was accompanied by a relatively versatile text. After confirming that there were no problems, Lin Yuan did not choose a timer and clicked send directly.
It is worth mentioning that with the popularity of the movie "Mermaid", the number of fans on Lin Yuan's Weibo suddenly increased a lot. Originally, Lin Yuan had a lot of fans.
Before it was released, it already had nearly 40 million, which is not much different from the "predecessor" Huang Bo.
However, in less than a month, Lin Yuan's number of fans increased to a staggering 60 million.
He suddenly gained more than 10 million followers. Even the Weibo platform mistakenly thought that it was Xitian Media Company or Guangguang Media Company that helped Lin Yuan buy zombie fans. However, the Weibo platform tried to use various means to get rid of them.
After these zombie fans, Lin Yuan was not affected at all. On the contrary, many traffic stars disappeared overnight with dozens or even millions of fans.
Just after Lin Yuan posted this news to promote the TV series, the Internet suddenly became lively.
"An anti-corruption TV series, I think it has a good theme!"
"I really didn't expect that this kind of TV series could be screened smoothly..."
"Lin Yuan's third TV series, I don't know what surprises he can bring us this time."
"I just hope it won't be a weekly TV series. It would be too painful."
Previously, "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" was released on Hunan Satellite TV, and we couldn't watch two episodes in a week. For netizens who follow the show, it was definitely a torture.
And in the past, netizens would have criticized Lin Yuan for not doing his job properly. The movie was well-made and he insisted on making any movie. But the final result was that they were all wrong.
After these two works achieved great success, netizens also expressed their expectations for Lin Yuan's upcoming TV series.
After promoting the TV series "In the Name of the People", Lin Yuan also returned to his position as director.
After all, he is also the director of the "God of Medicine" crew. No matter how high the online screening rights of "In the Name of the People" are sold, he, Lin Yuan, has to think about the staff of the "God of Medicine" crew first.
And just when the TV series "In the Name of the People" was about to premiere on Hunan Satellite TV, something shocking to netizens suddenly caused an uproar on the Internet!
