My landlord is a big star

Chapter 89. 88. Pre-screening Preparation Internal Screening Meeting

The sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

Putting on the pajamas that Xu Lin prepared in advance, Lin Yuner stood in front of the full-length mirror, taking pictures with her mobile phone. She likes to record her life, especially the life with Xu Lin.

The styles of pajamas are very common, black pajamas in the style of ice silk long-sleeved shirts, with a sika deer printed on the left corner.

After taking the photo, Lin Yuner put away her mobile phone, raised her hand and tied her long hair into a ponytail, put a mask on her face, poured the remaining essence in the mask bag on her hands and applied it to her neck and arms.

After finishing all this, she bounced back to the living room and sat down beside Xu Lin who was looking up at his phone.

"Are you in Ganshen?"

"...The pronunciation is not standard." Xu Lin evaluated her Chinese level, but did not look at her.

Lin Yuner was curious, so she poked her head out to see what this guy was playing. There was nothing wrong with the screen, it was all densely packed Chinese, which she couldn't understand.

But she knew that these words together were called a novel, and Lin Yuner who came close to him blinked her eyes puzzled.

"Does it look good?"

"Hmm...it looks good." Xu Lin replied.

There was a dangerous breath approaching in the air, and when he sensed something was wrong, he looked sideways at Lin Yun'er.

Seeing that her willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, her beautiful eyes were narrowed, her face was filled with displeasure, and she looked like she was about to get angry, Xu Lin immediately put down her phone, got up and sat down obediently, and said softly:
"Oh, you mean the pajamas, um...it's so pretty, don't the fans call you Xiaolu?"

"I'm talking about novels." Lin Yuner pouted.

"Uh..." Xu Lin was embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched his head: "It's beautiful, I usually read novels to relieve stress."

"Then am I good-looking or the novel is good-looking?"

"..."

For some reason, girls seem to like to ask such strange questions. Facing Lin Yuner's expectant gaze, Xu Lin stretched out his arms and took her into his arms, and kissed her long hair with his head bowed.

"Of course it's because you're good-looking. Novels aren't comparable to yours. I read novels just for entertainment."

"...Do you think I can't entertain?" Lin Yuner, who was stuck in a corner, said sullenly: "Or do you think being with me is boring, and you have to use novels to pass the time."

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Lin buried her head in her neck and said lazily, "I read novels just like you read scripts. Sometimes you can find inspiration when you read novels. Don't underestimate the power of words." , we directors basically have a way to find inspiration.”

"So you always read novels to find inspiration?" Lin Yuner smiled and said, "It sounds a bit strange, you seem to like reading texts very much, why can't I calm down when I read them?"

"How can I tell you, maybe I take it more seriously, and I like to experience it as a role."

"Oh, so what are you looking at?"

Lin Yun'er came out of his arms, sat aside, raised her hand to press on her face, and fixed the mask.

"Hmm...a tomb-robbing novel." Xu Lin grinned and narrated with great interest: "There are so many strange things in the ancient tomb, and strange things will happen. I was a little fascinated by what I read just now."

Lin Yuner nodded, but did not respond to him.

She was not interested in this kind of novel, and she didn't understand why Xu Lin was obsessed with novels, so she ignored him.

Lying lazily on the sofa, Lin Yuner straightened her legs and placed her calves on Xu Lin's. The next second, the sensible Xu Lin massaged her calves, but she didn't stop him when she caught a glimpse.

"The atmosphere in the team seems to be back today, but I always feel flustered, so strange."

"Don't think about it so much. You can't change what should happen alone. It will be difficult to deal with feelings and interests. As long as you can keep yourself out of it, don't think about anything else."

"...but the fans want us to be good and take care of each other, we are a team."

"You're a smart person, you know what to do." Xu Lin didn't try to persuade her, but thought about it and said, "You can't make everyone like you. Human nature will be fully reflected in times of crisis."

"We had a meeting together, in fact, everyone can see that people's hearts are not in harmony." Lin Yuner closed her eyes and said.

Be it fans, passers-by, or Xu Lin, they have no right to point fingers at Girls' Generation's affairs. The girls have already grown up, and it's useless to insist on some things.

It was nothing more than a psychological comfort, Lin Yuner also understood this truth, she pursed her lips and thought about it.

The meeting in the team was about the brand, and they wanted to talk about it, but the matter was more complicated than they imagined. Maybe it was because they were all involved in the game, and no one could figure it out.

Xu Lin held her tender little feet, stroked them gently, and said with a smile, "It's always right to do what you think is right."

"But I don't know what's right." Lin Yuner opened her eyes, her expressionless expression arousing pity.

"Theoretically speaking, there is no absolute right or wrong in the world. Nothing is black and white. It is right to be kind to yourself... Hey~~ What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing?"

Lin Yun'er frowned and looked at him, she was just hurt by something in Xu Lin's trousers pocket, she felt uncomfortable, moving this person was like being shocked by an electric shock, it was really inexplicable.

After moving again, Xu Lin immediately frowned.

The expression seems to be both dissatisfied and unhappy.

This inexplicable look made her feel very strange.
-
The rushing water washed against Xu Lin's muscular body, and after washing off the shower gel on his body, he dried his body.

Picking up the bathrobe and wrapping it around his body, he threw his crumpled pajamas into the washing machine, poured in laundry detergent and lavender-scented fabric softener, and then wandered into the bedroom.

The mischievous Lin Yuner was like a child who did something wrong, leaning against the head of the bed, pretending to be serious and staring at the phone.

"Um... do you want to lower the temperature?"

Xu Lin was a little embarrassed, and asked a casual question, but Lin Yuner's eyes drifted away when she heard this, she subconsciously raised her head to look at him, then immediately lowered her head and did not speak.

In the next second, she realized what the man was saying, bit her lower lip and lay down with her back to Xu Lin.

"I'm fine. I'm a little sleepy. I'll go to bed first."

"...Then go to sleep." Xu Lin sat on the side of the bed, snapped off the light in the bedroom, the whole room was only illuminated by two desk lamps, and silently turned on his phone to read the novel.

The room fell into silence, and after a while, Lin Yun'er, who was pretending to sleep, felt the bed behind her suddenly sink.

She put her hands together in front of her chest, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. To be honest, apart from sleeping on the sofa with him when she was drunk last time, this was the first time she slept on the same bed with Xu Lin soberly.

Just as she was thinking wildly, Xu Lin's arm suddenly stretched out, and Lin Yuner's expression flustered instantly.

"Don't pretend, I know you're not asleep." Xu Lin hugged her tightly and said with his head close to her neck.

Lin Yun'er closed her eyes and didn't speak, her heart was in a mess, she was afraid that he would do bad things to her but at the same time she was afraid that he would do nothing, that way it would appear that she had no attraction to this guy.

The girl is so strange, the two hugged like this, Lin Yun'er, whose heart was beating wildly, slowly turned her head.

She opened her big watery eyes and looked at Xu Lin.

"It's hot, and you hit me again..."

In the dim room, the two looked at each other affectionately. Once the atmosphere came, the two embraced and kissed for a long time.

Then, Xu Lin just hugged Lin Yuner in his arms like what Xu Lin said in the living room, but he didn't expect that Lin Yuner would roll over and squeeze him in various ways when she was awake.

She wished she could occupy the entire bed in big characters, until Xu Lin, who couldn't bear it anymore, hugged her tightly, and then behaved a little bit.

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Lin, who was replenishing his energy with sleep, was woken up by Lin Yuner's boo. She opened her bright eyes, kissed Xu Lin's cheek left and right, and finally bit his lip lightly.

Xu Lin, who slowly opened his eyes, half-closed them, and just about to speak, he felt Lin Yun'er arching into his arms.

Mouth still humming...

The morning sun penetrated into the bedroom through the window, and the air conditioner stood in the corner blowing cold wind, which made me feel full of happiness.

Holding the delicate little man in his arms, Xu Lin evoked a gentle smile and asked, "What time is it?"

"Well~~ around eight o'clock, I'll go to the company at ten o'clock." Lin Yuner, who was enjoying the hug, replied in a muffled voice, she was lying comfortably on Xu Lin's body, and she didn't even bother to move.

"I have to go to work in the company today, so I can't sleep in with you. What do you want to eat in the morning, I'll make it for you."

His words made Lin Yuner leave her embrace reluctantly, and muttered: "If you don't want to eat breakfast, just bring me a cup of coffee, oh, yes! I want to drink ice, or I will lose energy."

"I drink ice in the morning, so I don't worry about stomach pain." Xu Lin stood up, stretched himself, and left with his slippers on.

Although he said that, he still prepared a cup of iced coffee for Lin Yuner. After all, she is Korean, and some habits can't be changed just by changing them. It takes time to settle.

After bringing the coffee to the coffee table, Xu Lin forcibly pulled her up, and the two of them had breakfast after washing up.

After breakfast, Xu Lin stirred enthusiastically for a while before Lin Yuner walked out of the house with a smile on her face, went downstairs and drove to CJ Entertainment, and walked into the meeting room on the fifth floor with a cup of hot tea.

It is said to be a conference room, but it is actually a simple internal preview meeting, and the movies he made are to be shown here.

Although the senior leaders of CJ Entertainment are very busy, there will be many senior executives participating in this internal preview screening. I don't know if it is because of Li Quanbin's random propaganda, a few directors also came.

Xu Lin didn't know these high-level officials very well, but a few directors and high-level officials came to say hello to him, perhaps because they had cooperation with China, and they said they asked Xu Lin to contact them for something.

For commercial companies that pursue profit, even if they are scolded, there is no real benefit.

Obviously, this group of executives and directors can see it clearly. Of course, if you want to release it quickly, you have to let this group of people see the selling points and controversial topics of the film, and show the profit prospects as much as possible.

Fortunately, Xu Lin's "Jin Zhiying Born in 82" has obvious arguments, and controversy has already begun on the Internet.

Sitting in the middle near the left, Xu Lin waited patiently for the film to be broadcast, and observed his surroundings by the way.

There were many staff members in uniforms around, and the top executives and directors also wore suits like dogs. After sitting down, they smiled and greeted each other. After about 10 minutes, the movie started.

The conference room was plunged into darkness, and the opening of the movie was different from that of all movies. The opening scene was Jin Zhiying busy with housework and taking care of children, and the overall tone was gloomy.

Laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the doorway. There will be many people who understand movies in the internal preview. Among them, a female director named Park Zhimin's eyes lit up, and she nodded with interest.

There is a big difference between liking movies and making money from movies. Park Zhimin likes those artistic movies very much.

Of course, those who came to the preview must be those who only want to make money, so at the beginning of the movie, some well-dressed beasts chatted quietly with their colleagues beside them.

The topics discussed were unbearable, for example, a certain person had an in-depth discussion with a high-level executive about work, or a certain actress in the entertainment circle welcomed a certain director...

When the voice of the voice was handed over to the lines of the film, Xu Lin shook his head helplessly, feeling inexplicably ironic.

And Park Jimin, who was watching the movie seriously, saw Jin Zhiying's illness, his eyes turned red, as if thinking of something, he was gradually attracted by the plot, earnest and looking forward to it.

She was relieved when Daxian comforted Jin Zhiying, but when she saw Daxian got angry with Jin Zhiying and refused to let her go out to work, she frowned slightly and felt depressed in her heart.
The plot is full of highlights one after another, including Jin Zhiying's illness, becoming a grandmother to talk to her mother, and a mother and daughter with similar fates crying in front of the camera.

Immediately afterwards, the memory killing began, and Lin Yuner's appearance seemed to open up two different paths.

As Xu Lin said, the role she plays is the finishing touch of the film. Although there are few scenes, it is like a life-saving straw for women in the workplace.

The role she plays is hardworking and hardworking, not bound by the family, and finally becomes a strong woman.

Park Zhimin was very absorbed in watching, with a helpless expression, unwillingness, and even heartache. When she saw Jin Zhiying, who had just recovered from a serious illness, and the glamorous Lin Yuner passing by, she smiled calmly.

It's like walking in a dark cave, and suddenly there is a light coming in, which is really a highlight.

Due to the review system, the film had to make some plot changes, but these changes were quietly resolved by Xu Lin. Park Zhimin only had four words to describe his impression of this film.

That is: brilliant.

The film not only exposes the real society in South Korea, but also gives some psychological comfort to all working women.

The internal preview meeting finally came to an end with the passage of time. The staff turned on the lights, the executives and directors sat down in their seats, and the discussion was endless, and opinions were expressed one after another.

Some people think that this movie is not good, but some people think that this movie will definitely sell well after it is released. For professionals, this movie has definitely exceeded their expectations. It is not difficult for them to distinguish between good and bad movies. Now The real question is whether the market can accept it.

Park Zhimin clapped his hands impatiently, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said, "Let's talk about your own views on this film. Consultant Li Quanbin, please speak first."

"...Okay, director nim." Li Quanbin stood up, buttoned up his suit and said, "The plot of this movie is impeccable, the most important thing is that it is controversial, and the box office is absolutely..."

"Consultant Li! The release of a movie is not only based on the plot, but also caters to the market. Movies are controversial, but have you ever thought that this movie will be boycotted? What if someone makes trouble?"

The person who interrupted him was called Jin Shuisheng, about 50 to [-] years old, and also a director of the company.

Li Quanbin froze in place, just about to bow and apologize when he heard Park Zhimin not far away said lightly:
"I don't think men in our country are that mean. It's just a movie, right, Director Kim?"

"...We also need to consider the risks. Although the movie is very popular, it will definitely be risky to release it blindly. Everyone here is an employee of the company. What should we do if the company loses money?"

"You're right." Park Zhimin nodded affirmatively, then turned around suddenly and locked his eyes on Xu Lin.

"What do director Xu Lin think?"

"..."

Xu Lin who was named swallowed, stood up, took off the peaked cap on his head and said speechlessly:
"Dear directors and company executives, is there a possibility that the company didn't invest in the film I made? The release will only make a profit, and losing money is also my personal loss."

As soon as this remark came out, several directors looked embarrassed. After thinking for a long time, they couldn't find an excuse to refute the other party. After all, Xu Lin was telling the truth. How could he lose money without investing?
Park Zhimin was also stunned. She really enjoyed the movie, but she was also a director of the company, but she couldn't deny Xu Lin's words. After thinking for a while, she asked other directors for their opinions.

CJ Entertainment is not the only film distribution company in South Korea, if the final result is not to allow distribution...

Then the money will be taken away by other companies.

Everyone present is not stupid, it is impossible to make money standing up, unless he is Xu Lin.

An emergency meeting was held in the conference room. Xu Lin and Li Quanbin left silently. After returning to the lounge, the two drank tea. Looking at the nervous expression of the man opposite, Xu Lin shook his head and said with a smile:

"Why is Consultant Li more nervous than me? Relax, no one who can become a high-level person is an idiot."

"Anyway, the release is definitely fine." Li Quanbin took a sip of tea and sighed deeply: "Now I'm afraid that some high-level executives insist on withdrawing the file, and I may be demoted at that time..."

"Is there a possibility that you will be promoted? Think of something good." Xu Lin drank his tea calmly.

He doesn't worry about the release of the movie, so if he spits a nail, can the high-level executives still destroy their reputation?
Li Quanbin frowned and sighed: "Don't relax too much. There are many old and stubborn people in the top management of the company. They are the kind of men you criticize in the movie. It would be ugly to die when opening champagne at halftime."

"Oh? Abuse of power?" Xu Lin said with a smile, "Impossible. You have to trust the power behind me. If you can't even handle a movie, why should I mess around? Why don't I just go back to China for entertainment."

"...Huh, I hope." Li Quanbin didn't believe it, he was Korean, and his arrogance still existed.

He could deal with directors, but he might not be able to deal with company executives. He didn't believe that Xu Lin had such a big background, at most he was the son of a big company boss, and the company would definitely be able to deal with him.

Seeing him like this, Xu Lin smiled and said nothing. He lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, drinking hot tea from time to time.

Take it easy.

When it was close to noon, Park Zhimin pushed the door open and entered, Li Quanbin was interrupted by her waving just as he was about to salute.

"Director Xu Lin, congratulations. The high-level executives have almost unanimously approved your film. When it is released, it will be promoted with the greatest intensity, and there will be a lot of screenings, about 400 screenings."

"Nai, thank you director nim." Xu Lin smiled modestly: "I would like to thank the director for speaking for this movie."

"... You observed very carefully." Park Zhimin handed him the document and said at the same time: "You are welcome, this is your own talent, please keep it up, I believe you will become an excellent director, maybe tonight Do you have time? We can have a meal together."

"There's no need to eat. My girlfriend is still waiting for me to cook at home. It's inconvenient." Xu Lin's cold sweat suddenly spread all over his body, but he still refused the other party sternly.

Just kidding, how could he agree to such a thing, and there is a fair-skinned and beautiful girlfriend at home!
Seeing that Xu Lin took the document and began to look through it, Park Zhimin turned his attention to Li Quanbin who was at the side:
"Consultant Li."

"Here! Director Park nim!" Li Quanbin bowed immediately.

"Don't be so nervous, I think your taste is very sharp, and it's amazing to be able to discover such a good movie."

"Uh...everything is for the company!" Li Quanbin was full of embarrassment. From the corner of his eye, he secretly looked at the director in his thirties.

It's just a pity that she chose the wrong target. If it was him, then he would agree without even thinking about it!
Park Zhimin nodded and smiled, "It's good to have this kind of awareness. Director Xu Lin is very talented, and you are also good. You have a good vision. Keep it up. The company is currently selecting a new supervisor."

"Yes! I will work hard!" In front of the class, Li Quanbin had long since lost his demeanor, so he could only bow down and thank him.

During the chat with the other party, Xu Lin signed his name on the document, and he read all the conditions. This time there was a lot of publicity, and it can be seen that the company is very optimistic about the potential of this movie.

After re-handing the document to Pu Zhimin, Xu Lin bowed to thank him, and then sent the director away.

Looking at the swaying figure, Li Quanbin poked Xu Lin with his shoulder and said, "Why did you refuse, Director Park is one of the most beautiful women in the company, you boy actually don't like it?"

"Superficial!" Xu Lin said seriously: "I am a decent person, and I have a better and brighter future!"

"Young..." Li Quanbin lamented: "If you are like Director Park, are you afraid that you will not have a bright future? Let alone the issue of whether the movie will be released, you can walk sideways in the company."

"Go on your own, I have a girlfriend, how can I do such a thing." Xu Lin turned and entered the room.

To be honest, he dismissed such things, so what about directors, as far as he knew, the company did not have single directors.

Cao Cao is unacceptable, he will be soaked in a pig cage!
