Chapter 1057: Is this what the post-00s generation is like

~6 min read 1,061 words

"Brother, you're so amazing!"

"Director Lin, you're so fierce."

Lin Yu leaned against the headboard, with the twin sisters in his arms.

He lazily exhaled a smoke ring.

The ancients did not deceive me; a cigarette after the deed is better than being an immortal.

No wonder so many directors love the "hidden rules."

The pleasure in this is truly something only those who experience it know.

Last night, Lin Yu unlocked many positions he couldn't have imagined in his daily life.

He also learned that twins really do have telepathy.

After getting to know each other deeply, one could even conduct a comparative study; it was simply an ethereal experience.

"Continue."

Lin Yu gritted his teeth and crushed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray.

No matter what, he was determined to fall into this land of gentleness today.

However,

just as he was about to dive back under the covers,

the phone rang abruptly.

Lin Yu frowned and looked at the phone screen.

Damn it!

It was only 6:00 AM.

Whoever this is, they must give me a reason.

"Great nephew,"

"how have you been lately?"

Upon hearing the familiar tone from the other end of the line,

Lin Yu shuddered violently, and his previous anger vanished instantly.

He hurriedly waved his hand, telling the twins to go next door and get dressed.

"Uncle Wei."

Receiving a call from the Director of the State Administration of Radio and Television caught Lin Yu quite by surprise.

But he quickly steadied his mind and began to exchange pleasantries with this high-ranking uncle.

Lin Yu had been drifting through the entertainment industry for these two years.

He had mastered the ways of the world very thoroughly.

Soon, he had Director Wei laughing happily.

"Little Lin, find some time to come to the bureau this morning; there's something I need to discuss with you."

"Dress a bit more appropriately."

After hanging up the phone,

Lin Yu fell into deep thought.

It was clear that Director Wei was giving him a heads-up.

It seemed very likely that there would be outsiders present at the morning meeting.

Otherwise, if it were just a family talk, there would be no need to care about attire.

After handing the twin sisters over to Da Peng, Lin Yu headed straight for the Administration.

Under the staff's arrangements,

at 9:30 AM,

Lin Yu entered the reception room of the Administration.

"Little Lin, let me introduce you—"

"This is the boss of the China Film Group,"

"Han Sanping."

When Lin Yu first entered the reception room, he had already noticed the middle-aged man sitting next to Director Wei.

His hair was a bit sparse, his figure slightly plump, and he looked amiable.

However, there was a faint aura of looking down on others.

Lin Yu could tell that it was the aura of decisive killing power accumulated by a superior over many years.

"Director Lin, I've long admired your name."

Han Sanping stood up and proactively reached out his palm.

But it was clear that this was entirely out of respect for Director Wei.

One must know that all film companies in China were affiliated with the China Film Group.

All film distribution licenses were approved by the China Film Group; that dragon logo at the beginning of every movie was something raised by the China Film Group.

And as the head of the China Film Group, Han Sanping was a figure akin to an underground emperor in the film industry.

Even when seeing Li Lianjie or Cheng Long, he wouldn't stand up to greet them, let alone a junior like Lin Yu.

"Director Han, you're too kind."

Lin Yu was not someone who didn't know his place, so he lowered his posture and spoke politely.

However, he was curious in his heart.

With his current status,

logically, he shouldn't be able to reach a figure of Director Han's level!

After a simple exchange of pleasantries,

Director Wei and Han Sanping got straight to the point.

"I have a few things to say behind closed doors."

Director Wei cleared his throat and then set down his teacup.

Seeing this, Lin Yu hurriedly took out his phone and decisively turned it off right under their eyes.

Clearly, things said behind closed doors were not meant to be spread.

This action by Lin Yu instantly earned him their favor.

Especially Han Sanping, who began to appreciate Lin Yu's cleverness.

Regardless of what this kid was like as a person,

he certainly seemed to have a good sense of the situation.

"Little Lin, you said in an interview before that you wanted to promote Chinese films to the North American market; were you serious?"

Director Wei asked with a sharp and serious gaze.

"It's true, and not just North America; I plan to promote Chinese films to the whole world."

Lin Yu replied truthfully.

Since he was in this industry,

he naturally hoped his works could go international rather than closing the door and stagnating domestically.

"Hahaha, good!"

"Great nephew, do you know why China has been able to stand for thousands of years without falling?"

"Why does the Chinese nation have such cohesion?"

"It's not for anything else, but because of our unique local culture, because we have a foundation that other countries don't have."

"But nowadays, the impact of foreign culture has caused the youth's worship of foreign things to become increasingly serious. Our Administration and the Propaganda Department actually deployed cultural emerging projects a long time ago, but we have been slow to see results."

"Your 'Ne Zha' defeated Marvel's 'Avengers' head-on this time, and the higher-ups saw hope. So this time, I invited Director Han from China Film over so you two can see if you can cooperate to produce and distribute a few films that can go out, letting cultural confidence reignite domestically."

Director Wei's words were very sincere.

"Little Lin, if you want to enter the international market, you must have the support and protection of overseas forces. In this regard, we at China Film have unique advantages. You can go ahead and do it boldly."

"We have the people, and we have the money."

"But there is one requirement: your next film must at least exceed the box office influence of 'Ne Zha'."

Han Sanping said with a firm voice.

"Just that?" ===== CHAPTER 1058 =====
