Chapter 426: Whose road show talks about life?
“First of all, congratulations to Lin Xing for the good results of this movie, and now the box office forecast is heading towards 2.5 billion and may even exceed 3 billion. So, Lin Xing, will your next film be a literary film? ? ”
At today’s road show in Shanghai, some audience members asked Lin Xing.
"No, are you a reporter or an audience??"
Lin Xing was a little happy: "Today is the 6th day of the release of "Going to Heaven". I don't think about the next part now. Regarding the situation of the drama, I will only think about this movie..."
For Lin Xing, he is not someone who can serve two purposes.
The more important thing is that he is thinking about this movie now, and now he needs to do his best to promote this movie.
Of course, Lin Xing still has some unfinished filming of the TV series "The Age of Fighting".
What he wanted to do next was to go back to filming the movie "Going to Heaven" after almost a month of road show.
How can you still think about your next movie? ? ?
"Brother Xing, I would like to ask, since Mo Sanmei's ex-girlfriend's husband died in the play, does Mo Sanmei still like her??"
This was asked by a girl.
Because she always felt that Mo Sanmei was a little lonely at the end in this movie? ?
"I have to say this."
At this time, Qi Ning, who is the screenwriter and director of "Going to Heaven" said: "Actually, the script was not like this at the beginning. From the beginning, the script wanted to have Mo Sanmei and Xiao Wu’s mother have a relationship. We thought that Mo Sanmei would always have love..."
This is indeed the original script.
But during the [Script Discussion], Lin Xing felt that Xiao Wu’s mother came in and ruined the original rhythm.
So Lin Xing suggested not to give too many scenes to Xiao Wu’s mother, because this is not a family ethics drama.
Why did she go abroad?
What did she experience abroad?
Why did she come back? ?
Why does she have to fight for Xiao Wu’s custody? ?
What is the difficulty in even clearing her name? What is the last resort she has to clear her name? ?
Not only that, but also asking her to have some so-called love lines for Mo Sanmei? ?
In Lin Xing's opinion, these are not necessary at all.
This drama is about the funeral industry, or more specifically, funerals.
There are no major events in life except death.
So this drama is exactly about a funeral, about human nature at a funeral, about the various aspects of life at a funeral, and even about a person from birth to death, and then to the process of it. Trivial things.
But this trivial matter can also crush people to death.
Many times, humanity can only be seen in hospitals, and other than that, it is at funerals.
Therefore, Lin Xing told Qi Ning about this matter, and then he did not intend to suppress everything by himself.
Because Lin Xing is just an actor, although he has read scripts and some director books, he feels that he is not professional.
For this reason, Lin Xing just talked about this matter at the [Script Seminar].
Finally, after everyone’s discussion, it was decided to weaken the role of Xiao Wu’s mother and remove it.
Because she is not important.
Not many people had mentioned this during the road show before. Only Qi Ning said that the film could achieve such good results all thanks to Lin Xing.
At that time, no one connected this incident with today's incident.
Who would have thought that Lin Xing would change the script? ?
You must know that as a screenwriter and director, many times you hate modifying the script.
Just like a big screenwriter said before: "Even the movie king and the movie king can't change my script. They are just big illiterates."
Also, many celebrities nowadays do not change the scripts for the sake of the whole show. On the contrary, they just want to make their characters better and more distinctive.
Not only that, there are also some celebrities who want the second male and female actors in the same crew to have less roles.
The truth is very simple.
Prevent the male lead and female lead from overturning the table.
It is really not easy for people like Lin Xing to change the script before to benefit other people in the same crew.
Although this time the role of Xiao Wu's mother, who is in the same crew, was reduced a lot, but Lin Xing really did it for the benefit of the entire movie.
The actor who plays Xiao Wu’s mother also has no opinion on this.
Because it was false to say that I had no objection at the beginning. After all, who wants their scenes to be deleted like this? ?
But during the filming, the actor saw with his own eyes what it means to be so desperate, and what it means to do everything for the sake of the show.
This is exactly the case. At today's road show, Zhang Xian, the actor who plays Xiao Wu's mother, had no objections. At the same time, she even expressed her gratitude to Lin Xing.
She thinks Lin Xing taught her a lot.
After Qi Ning and Zhang Xian finished talking, Lin Xing also smiled and said: "Actually, there are not so many so-called auras. I always feel that everything is for the movie, and when I step into Mo What would he do when he was with his third sister? He loved his ex-girlfriend, but that was only for a period of time. Love is like this. Loving him at that time does not mean he will continue to love him in the future. , I don’t think Mo Sanmei is lonely, because he still has Xiao Wu accompanying him. In addition, he also has many friends. I think love is not necessarily everything in life. Getting married and having children is an option, but not getting married. Infertility is also an option, and in the movie, when Mo Sanmei went through so many things, and he saw so many joys and sorrows, life and death, I think he At that stage, I didn’t think about finding my other half again..."
Speaking of this, Lin Xing paused and continued: "But this is life, your thoughts are different at every stage of life. Similarly, today you may be thinking about not getting married and having children in the future, then in the next stage you may be thinking about having children and getting married. I still say the same thing, we should not always Plan for the next five or ten years, because it is impossible to plan well. The world is changing, people are changing, and everything is under discussion. Who can say for sure about the future? So I think what we have to do? Just enjoy the present moment to the fullest, don't waste your time, don't squander your energy, don't waste your time, that's it..."
Good guy.
During other road shows, Lin Xing basically talked about other things, and he didn’t even say much about his insights on life.
But this time it's different.
This time it was because someone in the audience happened to mention it, and Qining and Zhang Xian just supplemented this issue. As a result, Lin Xing had more to say.
Finally, Lin Xing said: "Of course, this is just my family's opinion. I remember there was a saying before that I learned a lot of principles, read a lot of books, and listened to a lot of life philosophy stories, but I still can’t live this life well. I still think that everyone has a path that everyone wants to take. All we have to do is to take the right path. The right path may be difficult to walk, but as long as we keep moving towards Just go in the right direction."
After Lin Xing said this, another audience member stood up and said, "Brother Xing, how do you judge whether your path is correct? ? It is true that I often read some life philosophies and even some inspiring words and books as you said. But even so, I can't control myself.
I tell myself every night that I have to work hard and work well. I will never be able to check my phone again tomorrow, let alone do other things, but by the next day I can't control myself.
I’m not afraid of your jokes. I insist on it for at most 5 minutes a day. I almost never leave my phone.
I check my phone on the way to work, I check my phone when I am working in the company, I check my phone while eating, I check my phone when I sleep, I even use my phone when I go to the bathroom. .
……
Good guy.
Those who knew it was at the road show of "Going to Heaven", but those who didn't know it thought it was some sort of lecture on self-control.
No, this audience member didn’t even talk about the movie, he just talked about his own things.
He even seemed so confused.
“I actually don’t know what to do with what you said. I can give you a lot of suggestions for improvement, but I think it would be a bad thing for you to just listen to these suggestions.”< br>
Lin Xing said with a smile: “Actually, we often don’t set goals for ourselves, let alone Think of life as a 100-meter sprint. I remember when I went to film school to study, a teacher said something to me. He told me that in the profession of actors, one does not strive to be first, but to speak incessantly. Like me, I became famous at a young age. I was so popular at first, but what happened next..."
Lin Xing took himself as an example. He was indeed the idol of countless people. At that time, he was not even considered top-notch.
But Lin Xing was absolutely top-notch at that time.
What happened next?
It’s not that you’re outdated just because you’re angry.
Not only that, but look at how many child stars in the entertainment industry are also like this? ?
Basically, he was so brilliant when he was a child star, but later he became outdated.
On the contrary, some actors may have always been tepid, but in the end, they survived until they were in the junior circle, and then they became popular immediately.
It’s impossible to tell.
Just like the relatives and friends around some people, their lives were not very good, and many times they were often looked down upon by others.
But later, after more than ten or twenty years, their lives suddenly got better. On the contrary, those who ridiculed and looked down on them, their lives became worse and worse.
"There is a saying in Internet articles that it takes thirty years to the east of Hedong and thirty years to the west of Hexi. In fact, this is quite right, because life is like a horse-drawn exercise. When you have not reached the end, you don't know or say at all. I don’t know what will happen..."
Lin Xing’s last call Said: "Just like our movie, isn't that what the saying on the phone says, "Nothing matters in life except death?" As long as we live, life will be full of uncertainty..."
...
This road show finally turned into a discussion about life.
Originally, a host wanted to control the scene and said that we should discuss the movie more, but Lin Xing said that since the movie is about major events in life, why not discuss life? ?
In the end, it even turned into an open-hearted book club.
Everyone has their own opinions.
Lin Xing said with a smile: "Look, I think many times we should seek common ground while reserving differences. Most of the time we can disagree with other people's opinions. You think it is necessary to get married and have children. I think it is not necessary to get married. Education is inevitable. You like Lin Xing and I hate Lin Xing. This is normal. There is no need for everyone to be at odds because we have to focus on more worthy explorations. Let’s talk about it.
When we watch movies and TV series, we sometimes feel that time flies by in the blink of an eye, but if you look at the reality, is it not the case?
Just like me, I was once one of the most popular groups [Xingyaohai]. That was fourteen or five years ago. How old was I at that time?
After that, I became obsolete, and if I think about it, wouldn’t it be like a blink of an eye to think about these ten years of being obsolete? ? ?
What I am most grateful for is that "Farm" made more viewers recognize me, and "Farm" was already three or four years ago.
Look, it sounds like a lot of time, isn’t it? ? ?
……
This remark really resonated.
"That's right, I didn't expect that it would be more than ten years ago when I graduated from high school."
"Yes, I always felt like I was still a child at the beginning, but in the blink of an eye I turned into thirty I am a middle-aged man.”
“Life is really fleeting, especially when I don’t know. Why do I realize that time flies so fast after I turn 30? Many times when I meet my friends, I realize that the last time we met was three or four years ago. ”
……< br>
“It’s really just a matter of seconds. Time flies so fast.”
"Here I go, I really didn't expect that Wu Yao's house collapsed three or four years ago."
"No, you are a bit overthinking..."
...
< br>At this time, the road show finally came to an end with everyone's vigorous discussion.
Later, Lin Xing was interviewed by media reporters.
"I really didn't expect that the box office could exceed 100 million on weekdays, and I also saw the support of people in the funeral industry, plus the support of other audiences. I am really grateful to them."< br>
“The audience is indeed the cutest people. They often like to watch as long as you take good photos. They will promote it to anyone.”
“No, I just said it during the road show. I really don’t think about the next movie. I just want to finish the road show first. "
......
Lin Xing also opened his heart to the media reporters.
But to be honest, these interviews basically keep talking, and they are also very repetitive.
So in the end Lin Xing said: "No matter what, this is my job, so I don't feel tired or not? Just try hard and do it well."
