Chapter 365 Do you know how hard I work?
Feng Xiaogang felt that he had opened his eyes today. Not only did he see the working process of Hong Kong TV stations, but he also saw what a truly ruthless person is.
Just now, Teacher Lin walked into the crowd and tried to persuade them to reconcile in a friendly manner, but he did not get the respect of people from both sides. The director and producer seemed to be unable to persuade them either. Feng Xiaogang was worried for Teacher Lin.
He didn't know how Teacher Lin should continue to smooth things over, or whether he should just leave in shame and pretend nothing happened even if he was scolded.
Anyway, Feng Xiaogang feels that if he were in Teacher Lin’s position, he would probably choose to leave.
The kids from the alleys knew too well when to give in. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the leaders of both sides were protecting their own people, and peacemakers like Teacher Lin became the least popular one.
However, Mr. Lin's choice was far beyond Feng Xiaogang's expectations.
When he heard that Teacher Lin was bringing together Hong Kong's TVB and CCTV for a collaboration, he did not understand how important Teacher Lin was in this collaboration.
Now he finally understood that Teacher Lin was the one who could support two families at the same time.
You can't do this without me!
This is why Mr. Lin was able to bow his head and surrender in public in front of the producer and director.
Feng Xiaogang looked at the two directors and producers who had gloomy faces but had to bow their heads.
He was not familiar with Xiao Sheng, but he knew Huang Yihe, who was one of the four major directors of CCTV and the chief director of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years.
But in front of Teacher Lin, you still have to be obedient.
If I could get the same status and power as Teacher Lin in the crew, I would be content in this life.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help laughing inwardly.
I treasure my work in the crew, but for Teacher Lin, it is just the most insignificant identity, not even a part-time job.
When visiting the crew this morning, Teacher Lin also mentioned that after writing the script, he rarely participated in the crew's affairs.
Feng Xiaogang guessed that it was because Teacher Lin rarely appeared on the crew that the staff dared to ignore Teacher Lin.
Even the two producers and directors only showed superficial respect.
But the fact is that when it comes to real arm wrestling, these people are nothing in front of Teacher Lin.
No matter what director or producer you are, if you are a dragon you have to coil up, if you are a tiger you have to lie down.
So fucking domineering!
"I'm so sorry for making a fool of myself!"
Feng Xiaogang looked at Lin Weimin in a daze for a moment. In the eyes of Teacher Lin, what happened just now seemed to be a trivial matter, and the results showed that it was indeed the case.
Feng Xiaogang, who is always eloquent, didn't know how to respond to this for a moment.
The few of them returned to where they had just sat. Tao Huimin ran to Lin Weimin and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death just now!"
Lin Weimin asked, "I asked you that day, but you didn't tell me. Is it because someone on the set didn't respect you? It's a good opportunity to clean it up today to save you trouble later."
Tao Huimin quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, everyone is very nice to me. Don't lose your temper, it's scary!"
Lin Weimin's expression softened. "It's okay. Since they can't tell the difference between the primary and the secondary, today is a good opportunity to wake them up. In the future, when you are on the crew, don't be so polite to these people. Some people are afraid of power but not morality. They need to learn a lesson before they can remember it."
In fact, today's matter was easy to resolve. Even if the staff on both sides did not give face when Lin Weimin tried to stop the fight, as long as Huang Yihe and Xiao Sheng could show some attitude in time, Lin Weimin would not easily argue with some staff.
Unfortunately, Lin Weimin overestimated the awareness of these two people.
It was not difficult for him to guess what Huang Yihe and Xiao Sheng were thinking. They simply felt that the birds were gone and the good bows were hidden. The crew had already started filming, so they just needed to give him, the screenwriter, some face.
But when it comes to one's own rights and interests, that little bit of face is no longer useful.
Today, Lin Weimin was directed at the staff members who spoke rudely to him, but more importantly, he was directed at Huang Yihe and Xiao Sheng.
Can we restore Teacher Lin's face by punishing a few staff members?
If you can't find it back, people will think you are petty.
So, if you want to clean up, you have to clean up the big things.
How can Teacher Lin regain his face if he doesn't embarrass these two people completely?
I got slapped in the face and you're just standing there watching?
Grandma, my face is swollen from you!
The crew's interlude ended, and Feng Xiaogang and Zheng Xiaolong also said goodbye and left.
On the way back, the two were still talking about what had just happened.
When Feng Xiaogang talked about Teacher Lin's style at that time, his face was full of yearning and admiration, and he wished he could replace him.
Feng Xiaogang said: "After what happened today, everyone in the crew will understand. When Teacher Lin is not around, the director and the producer have the final say. When Teacher Lin is around, they have nothing to do with it! Hehe, it's really fucking awesome!"
Zheng Xiaolong nodded and asked, "Indeed. Teacher Lin has directly communicated with the higher-ups, so it's useless for your subordinates to make a fuss. To put it bluntly, they don't interfere with the work of the crew because they are giving face to the director and producer. They have to hold this face with both hands. If they don't hold it well and it falls to the ground, it will be their jobs that are broken!"
The two left with a look of emotion on their faces.
In the crew of "Legend of Female Doctor", the incident is still continuing to ferment.
More than a dozen staff members from Hong Kong and CCTV were driven away. Naturally, the parties involved were very dissatisfied and cursed while packing up their things.
Xiao Sheng and Huang Yihe felt very uncomfortable. They were now in a dilemma.
The subordinates failed to protect him, and instead, they developed a rift in their hearts; Lin Weimin was completely offended; too many people left, and the crew would have to stop working for at least ten days or half a month, and it would be difficult to explain to the superiors (boss).
At this time, the two began to regret that they should have resolved the conflict in time and dealt with the two people ruthlessly, so that things would not have come to this point.
"Okay, let's call it a day for today! Everyone can take a few days off, and we'll resume work after people have caught up." Xiao Sheng shouted to the crew members.
"We have to stop working because of a lack of manpower?" Lin Weimin stood not far away without knowing when.
Everyone looked at him when they heard the voice, and Xiao Sheng's face was full of bitterness.
You drive people away with just a few words. What can we do if we don't stop working?
Seeing that Xiao Sheng didn't say anything, Lin Weimin asked again: "Who are missing?"
"The photographer, lighting, and stagehands are all gone."
"We need a few people. Give me the list."
Xiao Sheng and Huang Yihe looked at Lin Weimin with some confusion, but still gave him the list.
"Wait a moment."
Lin Weimin left after he finished speaking and did not come back until an hour later.
"Two groups of people will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, one from the Xi'an Film Studio and the other from the Shanghai Film Studio. When the time comes, you should think about sending a car to pick them up."
Lin Weimin handed the train information to the two people and then left the crew directly.
Many crew members witnessed this scene and were stunned.
What do you mean? Someone from Xi'an Film Studio or Shanghai Film Studio?
Is it specifically to fill the positions of those who have been fired?
Thinking of this possibility, the crew members couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Although I don't like Teacher Lin, he is indeed capable.
As soon as people were driven away, the staff gap was filled in the crew over there.
Xi'an Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio are both large film studios in China.
What a great honor it is to be able to help with the filming of a TV series?
Xiao Sheng and Huang Yihe looked at the note in their hands and looked at each other in silence.
I felt bad and inexplicably thought of what Lin Weimin said.
It came true!
Lin Weimin was determined to drive those people away. With so many people missing all of a sudden, wouldn't the crew have to stop working?
It’s okay, I’ll find the person for you right away.
We don’t need people from CCTV or Hong Kong, but just bring people from the two major domestic film studios.
Not to mention the level, just the specification alone is enough to crush you.
As a TV producer, what do you have to show your superiority to those who make movies?
The note that Lin Weimin threw lightly landed on Xiao Sheng and Huang Yihe's faces, making a loud sound like a slap.
Facts speak louder than words!
"This crew can leave anyone behind, but not me, Lin Weimin!"
Lin Weimin also gave everyone in the crew a vivid lesson.
I can build the crew of "The Legend of Female Doctor" with one hand, and I can also tear it down with one hand. If I can tear it down with one hand, I can also build it up again with one hand.
This is called strength!
After Lin Weimin's efforts to resolve the turmoil on the set of "Legend of a Female Doctor", the staff became obedient and the leader's arrogance was suppressed, and the situation was completely put to an end.
After he came out of the crew, he finally felt a little relieved.
In the evening, Tao Huimin returned home in a good mood.
Although she didn't want Lin Weimin to lose his temper on the set, this kind of temper did make her see something different from before.
Before on the crew, everyone knew that she was the screenwriter’s girlfriend, so they all showed respect to her on the surface.
But from time to time, some staff members would intentionally or unintentionally neglect us, especially when there was a conflict between the staff of both sides.
Tao Huimin is not a squeamish person and never takes these things to heart.
But after Lin Weimin's temper tantrum, she realized that the contrast in their attitudes was really surprising. It completely refreshed Tao Huimin's cognition and made her feel like she had gotten to know these staff members in a new way.
The actors I usually interact with the most had good attitudes before, and they were even more enthusiastic this time.
"We in the mainland call it the literary and artistic circle, while they in Hong Kong call it the entertainment circle. In such a circle, fame and fortune come too easily. Often it is not based on real ability, but on luck and petty manipulation. Many people rely on such things to rise to the top, and naturally become popular.
Besides, didn't you get along well with them before? Their attitude now is actually not as intimate as before. They are more afraid of offending you!"
The more Tao Huimin listened to Lin Weimin's words, the more she felt they made sense.
She couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad, but she knew that those people deserved it because they had offended Lin Weimin!
Two days later, staff from the Xi'an Film Studio and the Shanghai Film Studio arrived in Yanjing, and Lin Weimin treated them to a dinner.
The venue was arranged in Taifeng Building, one of the eight old Yanjing buildings.
This time, the crew of "Legend of Female Doctor" was short of people. In fact, the first choice should have been to ask CCTV to support more people. However, Lin Weimin had just driven away the people from CCTV, and now he turned around and asked for more people from CCTV, which was a slap in his own face.
The next best choice was Yanying Studio, but unfortunately he was not very familiar with the leaders of Yanying Studio. He only knew one person, Liang Xiaosheng, who was just a screenwriter.
Therefore, Lin Weimin called Wu Tianming first. Wu Tianming was the director of Xi'an Film Studio. When he learned about Lin Weimin's situation, he immediately transferred all the available people to him.
However, there is a large staff gap in "The Legend of Female Doctor", and it is still short of a few people.
Lin Weimin thought of Xu Sangchu from Shanghai Film Studio. They had had a pleasant exchange at the previous symposium on "Furong Town", and Shanghai Film Studio also contributed a lot to the filming of "The Lover".
He made a tentative call. In fact, Lin Weimin already had a plan in mind. If Xu Sangchu didn't help, he would borrow a few people from Yanzhi.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sangchu agreed without hesitation.
Outsiders only see that Teacher Lin is very pretentious, but they don’t see how hard he works to make it perfect.
Do you know how hard I work?
