Huayu is here for you

Once the news that Lin Yu was going to make a new movie was confirmed, it swept through the entertainment industry like a gust of wind.

The general public was naturally happy to see this happen, but the companies that invested in "The Martian" couldn't sit still. Why did they abandon a good blockbuster and turn around to make a small movie with a budget of ten million? How could they be so careless?

For this reason, the leaders of several companies even called Lin Yu to "consult" him. However, after Lin Yu repeatedly assured them that it would not delay the filming of "The Martian," the companies gradually calmed down. Han Sanping even kindly asked Lin Yu if he needed to invest, but Lin Yu naturally refused. Wanda had already provided enough money, and Lin Yu didn't need to worry about this matter anymore.

Han Sanping also said a few words of regret to Lin Yu, saying that next time they were filming a movie, they should definitely let him know in advance. Lin Yu understood and gave a perfunctory reply.

He understood Han Sanping's feelings quite well. After all, the head of China Film Group was about to change, and this General Manager Han was about to become Chairman Han. It was understandable that he wanted to make some achievements. After all, there were only a few directors in China who could make the box office, so he had to keep a close eye on them.

After a month of preparation, the film "Those Years" finally held a small launch press conference on May 1st.

Lin Yu sat in the center, flanked by two beautiful young women, Liu Yifei and Jing Tian. Further out were several supporting actors from the film, including Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin. As for the male lead, Lin Yu was naturally a shoo-in; he wouldn't let anyone else have this opportunity.

The media outlets present today, looking at Lin Yu and the lead actors sitting on the stage, couldn't help but sigh: This director Lin is really different from other directors who graduated from Beijing Film Academy. He always chooses students from Beijing Film Academy when casting actors. This time, he's even more amazing. The actors chosen for the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye" are almost monopolized by the 02 class of the acting department of Beijing Film Academy.

"Director Lin, hello! May I ask why you chose Liu Yifei to play the female lead in your new film?"

"Of course, it's because she's suitable for the role in the drama," Lin Yu said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Director Lin, you've chosen mostly students from the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy this time. Was this because the school administration communicated with you beforehand?"

Lin Yu looked at the somewhat young reporter and couldn't help but chuckle. "You're really something else. Don't you know how big the Beijing Film Academy's network is? How dare you ask such a question?"

"Of course not. The school didn't interfere with my actor auditions. As for why I chose so many students from the Beijing Film Academy, one reason is that they are my juniors, and another reason is that their ages are very suitable for my film. Since I can choose right here and easily, why should I waste time and effort going elsewhere?"

"Director Lin, what are your thoughts on playing the male lead in your first film?"

"I don't have any particular feelings. I just couldn't find a suitable actor, so I had to do it myself."

As Lin Yu effortlessly navigated the questions from various reporters, the two young girls beside him looked at the director, who wasn't much older than them, with starry eyes.

"He's so young, and already so amazing? Isn't he nervous at all?"

As for Zhu Yawen and the others standing nearby, they were all tense, afraid that their image on television would not be good enough.

"Ms. Jing Tian, ​​how come you were chosen by Director Lin to play the second female lead in the movie without any acting experience? And I heard that you haven't studied acting, is that right?" A reporter turned the microphone to Jing Tian, ​​who was in a daze.

Lin Yu watched as the reporters, unable to get any interesting stories out of him, turned to Miss Jing next to him. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He knew this Miss Jing well; she was just as good at interviewing as Miss Liu.

Moreover, this was the first time she had experienced such a situation, and Lin Yu was afraid that she would say something inappropriate.

Our Miss Jing Tian was taken aback at first, as if she hadn't expected the reporters' cameras to be pointed at her. Although Lu Zheng had rehearsed the "lines" with her before they arrived, she couldn't help but feel nervous. The words Lu Zheng had taught her vanished completely.

"Um...maybe it's because my age is suitable for Director Lin's movies."

Seeing Jing Tian's hesitant answers, the reporters immediately became energized and all turned their microphones toward her.

"Ms. Jing Tian, ​​there are many actresses in the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy who have already played various roles. Why did Director Lin choose you specifically?"

"Miss Jing Tian, ​​is there some inside story behind this?"

"Miss Jing Tian..."

Lin Yu watched the reporters gradually becoming chaotic and sighed inwardly, "Everyone! Calm down, can you take it one step at a time? How can Miss Jing Tian answer all your questions properly with this jumble of questions?"

"As for why I chose Ms. Jing Tian to play the second female lead in my movie, it's partly because of her age, and partly because she's beautiful. My movie needs an actress who can rival Liu Yifei in appearance, so I went through many twists and turns to find Ms. Jing Tian. As for those inside stories you mentioned, they are completely fabricated."

Liu Yifei and Jing Tian stared blankly as Lin Yu rambled on with a straight face. If they hadn't already read the complete script, they would have actually believed him.

The reporters didn't press Lin Yu too much about his explanation. Although they understood that in the entertainment industry, there was a 90% chance that such official answers were false, they weren't going to be foolish enough to expose them. They made their living from these 90% false rumors and were used to it.

Besides, even if things fall apart, they'll be the ones who suffer. Directors of Lin Yu's caliber are, to a certain extent, not afraid to go head-to-head with them. Didn't you see that Xiao Gangpao kept clamoring to slap the reporter? He's still doing just fine now, isn't he?

So when they saw that Lin Yu was trying to protect Jing Tian, ​​they took the opportunity to back down. After asking the actors in turn questions, the press conference officially came to an end.

The reporters' feelings varied. The rookies' answers were always so rigid and formulaic. The only one who was slightly different was Liu Yifei. It has to be said that this girl has a really straightforward personality. She made them almost forget what they were there for.

After the press conference, Lin Yu led everyone to the filming location. Fortunately, most of the filming locations for the movie "You Are the Apple of My Eye" were on school campuses, so it didn't take Lin Yu long to find a very suitable school for filming.
