Chapter 888 Did you play with fire and burn yourself
He defied all odds and chose several newcomers to play the main roles.
This caused a lot of controversy at the time, with many people questioning his choice and thinking he was joking about his career.
"Mr. Lin, are you sure you want to use these newcomers? They don't have much acting experience. What if they mess up?"
the producer asked worriedly.
Lin Gao sneered.
"Experience? Experience is nothing! When I was filming "Westward Journey", who the hell had experience? What happened? It didn't become popular all over the country!"
The producer was intimidated by his momentum and did not dare to say anything more.
Lin Gao knew in his heart that he chose these newcomers because they matched the temperament of the original characters very well.
He wants to create the most authentic "Dragon Movie", and he wants to let the whole world see the charm of Chinese martial arts!
During the filming process, Lin Gao showed his extraordinary directorial talent.
He shot every scene beautifully and portrayed every character vividly.
He pays particular attention to the details of his portrayal, requiring actors to be perfect in even a trivial look or movement.
"No! No! This look is wrong! You have to show Duan Yu's infatuation, not his lewdness!"
Lin Gao yelled at the young actor who played Duan Yu.
The young actor was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly adjusted his expression.
"Do it again! Prepare, start!"
After countless NGs, the young actor finally found the feeling and performed Duan Yu's infatuation vividly.
"Good! Very good! This is passed!" Lin Gao nodded with satisfaction.
As the filming progressed, there were more and more contacts between Lin Gao and Wang Yuyan.
He discovered that although Wang Yuyan looked weak on the outside, she was very strong on the inside.
She has a very deep understanding of the script and a very accurate grasp of the role.
During a break in filming, Lin Gao and Wang Yuyan were sitting on the side of the set chatting.
"Miss Wang, you...you really don't know Duan Yu?" Lin Gao asked the question again by mistake.
Wang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a mysterious smile.
"Mr. Lin, maybe... I know him in another time and space."
Lin Gao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...could she really be...
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the set.
Someone shouted: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"
The raging fire instantly swallowed up the ancient city building built on the set, with thick smoke billowing and flames shooting into the sky...
Thick smoke billowed and flames licked everything on the set, like a greedy giant beast.
In the chaos, Lin Gao grabbed Wang Yuyan's wrist and shouted: "Follow me!"
Wang Yuyan was dragged a few steps by his strong hand and asked in panic: "Mr. Lin, what... is going on?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Run for your life first!"
Lin Gao ignored the explanation and pulled her out as hard as he could.
The fire spread quickly, the crackling and popping sounds were endless, and the scorching air made people almost suffocated.
Lin Gao protected Wang Yuyan, stumbled all the way, and finally broke out of the sea of fire.
The two collapsed outside the set, gasping for air.
Wang Yuyan was in shock, her face was pale, and her eyes were full of fear.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Lin Gao comforted her as he patted her back gently.
Wang Yuyan raised her head and looked at the man covered in ashes before her, feeling an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for saving me..."
"It should, it should..." Lin Gao scratched his head in embarrassment.
At this time, the sirens of fire trucks and police cars came from far away, breaking the brief tranquility.
The fire burned down the entire set and Lin Gao's hard work.
In the next few days, Lin Gao was busy dealing with the aftermath and was very worried. Not only did he have to compensate for huge losses, he also had to appease the emotions of the crew, and he also had to face the indiscriminate bombardment from the media.
"Lin Gao, what else do you have to say?"
A reporter asked aggressively, "Is this fire the result of you playing with fire and burning yourself?"
"Fart!"
Lin Gao roared angrily, "Who am I? Will I make fun of my own career? This fire was clearly set on purpose!"
"Where's the evidence? Do you have any evidence?" The reporter pressed forward step by step.
Lin Gao was speechless for a moment. He really had no evidence.
At this moment, Wang Yuyan stood up.
"I know who set the fire!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Wang Yuyan said calmly: "I saw with my own eyes that someone was sneaking around the studio with a lighter in his hand..."
"Who is it? Do you see who it is?"
Reporters swarmed over and asked questions.
Wang Yuyan shook her head.
"I didn't see his face clearly, but I remember his clothes..."
Lin Gao's heart moved, and he immediately ordered his men to look for the suspicious person based on Wang Yuyan's description.
After several days of investigation, police finally caught the arsonist.
It turned out that this person was sent by Lin Gao's competitor with the purpose of sabotaging Lin Gao's film shooting.
When the truth came to light, Lin Gao was cleared of his grievances and won public sympathy.
However, the damage caused by the fire was irreparable.
The filming of "Dragon Movie" was forced to interrupt, and Lin Gao also fell into a huge dilemma.
Not only did he lose a lot of money, but more importantly, he lost confidence.
He locked himself in his room, refused to eat or drink, and drank to drown his sorrows all day long.
Wang Yuyan was very worried about him and knocked on his door every day to persuade him to cheer up.
"Mr. Lin, you can't stay depressed like this. You and we all believe in you!"
"Believe me? What do you believe in me?"
Lin Gao said dejectedly, "I have nothing now, what qualifications do I have to make a movie?"
"You still have talent! You still have dreams!"
Wang Yuyan said firmly, "Although this fire burned down the studio, it can't burn away your talent, nor can it burn away your dreams!"
Lin Gao looked at the weak but strong woman in front of him, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
"Wang Yuyan..."
He murmured, "You...you really believe me?"
Wang Yuyan nodded.
"I believe in you, just like I believe in Duan Yu..."
Lin Gao's eyes suddenly became profound.
"Duan Yu...you...do you really know him?"
Wang Yuyan did not answer, but showed a mysterious smile.
At this moment, Lin Gao's cell phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone and a familiar voice came over.
"Director Lin, I am Director Zhang, I want to talk to you about cooperation..."
Lin Gao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be... could there be a turning point?
On the other end of the phone, Director Zhang's voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed: "Director Lin, I heard that your "Dragon Movie" had an accident? What a pity!
