Huayu is here for you

Chapter 134 Born in China... How fortunate!

Like flowing water and falling leaves, time slips away quietly and slowly. The sweltering summer has passed, and what awaits us is the bountiful harvest and crisp autumn air.

The upcoming release of "Assembly" and the start of filming for "The Forbidden Kingdom" are currently the hottest news in the entertainment industry.

In Lin Yu's current film "The Forbidden Kingdom", in addition to Liu, the role of the White-Haired Witch has also been recast.

The female lead changed from Miss Liu in her previous life to Da Tian Tian in this life. I wonder how much money that guy surnamed Lu spent on Miss Jing.

The role of the White-Haired Witch was also given to Shu Chang from Starlight Entertainment. Lin Yu didn't care about the small roles and only chose this one, which is considered the second female lead. After all, it's a freebie, so why not take it? Huayi Entertainment was also quite generous and simply waved their hand and said: "Give it to us!"

Not only was it given away for free, but it was also given a veneer of goodwill: Huayi and Xingguang have reached a cooperation agreement again, and Xingguang seems to have taken a liking to the project and participated in the investment.

This news release is truly worthy of Huayi; they really know how to do publicity.

What's a bit funny is that when Huayi initially sent out the second female lead, the female lead was supposed to be chosen by someone from their own family. Unfortunately, Lu's superpowers were too strong, and he directly eliminated Bing, who was almost confirmed, and overtook her! Lin Yu thinks that Bing must be crying in the bathroom.

However, the outside world's turmoil has nothing to do with Lin Yu now, as he has already started filming the movie "Qian Xuesen".

After nearly two months of preparation, the pre-production work for this film is basically complete. As for the main actors other than Luo Jin—well, basically the only one with more screen time is the role of Qian Lao's wife—the casting was very easy.

Needless to say, there are also a group of supporting actors from both China and abroad. With the name of Starlight Entertainment, actors flock to audition.

Lin Yu, who was chosen as Luo Jin's co-star, is a stunning beauty from the Central Academy of Drama, known as "Big Pear."

There's also Tangtang, Da Lizi's junior sister, who plays a female soldier in the People's Liberation Army in the movie. It can be considered a perk that Lin Yu gave to Luo Jin, this loyal working man, by putting his future wife in front of him in advance. I wonder if Luo Jin will ever get to eat Tangtang in this lifetime.

This time, Lin Yu's film has once again reached a cooperation agreement with the domestic aerospace department, and relevant technical personnel have been sent to provide guidance. This is something only Lin Yu can enjoy; other directors might not necessarily receive such treatment.

The outside world has been very supportive of Lin Yu's recent hard work, sending a wave of encouragement and support. Although it's not a commercial film, the name Lin Yu is now more effective than some commercial film titles.

Moreover, Lin Yu chose a different shooting order this time than before. This time, he started with the difficult scenes and then moved on to the easier ones, with the large-scale scenes coming first and the indoor dialogue scenes coming later.

Moreover, Lin Yu encountered a "little surprise" during filming. There was a scene in the film where Qian Lao asked the leaders for people and locations. This scene, which was less than a minute long, was originally intended to be filmed by Lin Yu with hundreds of extras. However, just as he was about to arrange for his subordinates to recruit people for the crew, the technician from the aerospace department gave Lin Yu a big gift.

"Director Lin, I heard you're looking to hire quite a few extras to play People's Liberation Army soldiers?"

"Ah—yes, I want to make the scenes in this storyline bigger, so that it can fully demonstrate the cohesion of our Chinese nation, the unity and solidarity of the people, and—I think if it is really filmed according to my idea, it will be even more shocking to the audience."

"Have you ever considered—actually casting our own soldiers in the films?"

Lin Yu: "??? I don't have that kind of nerve, Engineer Li."

"Hmm—I'll help you! But I'm just putting in a word for you, though I don't think it'll be a big problem. After all, your film is a bit special; they shouldn't refuse." Li Gong hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "Are you—are you sure?" Lin Yu asked expectantly, "Sure! Is one infantry regiment enough?"

Hearing what Engineer Li said, Lin Yu was so shocked he almost spat out his saliva. He was only looking for a few hundred extras, but Engineer Li wanted to give him an entire infantry regiment? What did that mean? 1,500 to 1,800 people! And it was a good thing he wasn't drinking water, otherwise Engineer Li would definitely have been given a good beating.

"You're not kidding me, are you? That's over a thousand, almost two thousand people!" Lin Yu was a little dazed.

"Hehe—don't worry, I'll wait for you."

Two days later, when he was called out of his tent in Linyu, what he saw was a dense mass of People's Liberation Army soldiers arranged in a square formation. Looking at those neat and uniform rows, he felt an indescribable sense of pride.

Under the bright sunshine, soldiers stood in neat formations, their gazes unwavering, as if no force could shake this steel-like array.

"As long as it benefits the country, we will fully support you!" These words echoed in Lin Yu's mind for a long time, never stopping for a moment.

This is our nation's army, the People's Liberation Army, the sons and daughters of the Chinese people! Born in China, I, Lin Yu—

幸！

After a long period of reflection, Lin Yu began to tell the soldiers about his filming plan. Putting everything else aside, the soldiers' execution was truly impressive! And the scene was, needless to say, spectacular.

Lin Yu originally planned to film this scene for several days, but unexpectedly, it was all filmed in just one day. Although it was only a few dozen seconds long, Lin Yu was certain that this scene he filmed in this life would be much more exciting for the audience than the one he filmed in his previous life.

After filming this scene, the soldiers returned to their original posts without stopping. Lin Yu had originally planned to treat them to a meal, even though there were many of them and the cost might be considerable, but Lin Yu was willing to do so. However, the soldiers did not give Lin Yu the opportunity.

"Director Lin, if you really want to thank us, please make us look good in the film. Also, it would be even better if you could find the time to make a movie about us soldiers."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Director Lin, don't listen to him, just follow your own plan."

"Keep it up, Director Lin! Although we're not on the same side, we're both contributing to the country, so we're practically comrades. And I really admire you; it's not easy for a country to produce a director like you. See you again someday!"
