This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 417 Nothing important in life except death

July 3th, Saturday.

9am, Daxing Cinema.

Zeng Li, Da Mao and others all came to the 9:30 show. They were not all in one hall because the tickets Ding Chunling gave them were relatively scattered.

At 9:30, the preview of "Going to Heaven" will be shown in Hall 3.

Because the entire hall was filled with free tickets, which meant that everyone came here because they were interested in "Going to Heaven", so the discussion in the hall was relatively harmonious.

"Actually, I mainly want to see how Lin Xing performs?"

"I'm not really interested in Lin Xing. I'm mainly interested in the subject matter of this movie."

"Yes, I've only read about the funeral industry in online articles before, but it's really not seen in movies or TV shows."

……

After Zeng Li entered the room, there was a lively discussion in the hall.

Some, like Zeng Li, came to watch the preview of "Going to Heaven" just for Lin Xing. They are fans of Lin Xing.

Some others are not interested in Lin Xing at all, but are only interested in the funeral industry.

Of course, there are also some people who simply believe in Lin Xing’s works. Most of the people in this hall are such people.

Because everyone thinks that Lin Xing has never starred in a bad movie, they all think that "Going to Heaven" will not disappoint everyone either.

"Sister Li, do you think Brother Xing will suddenly show up in this game???"

A fan whispered to Zeng Li, "I remember when we were doing 'Killing Ading' and 'Sunspots', Brother Xing always did surprises like this."

"No, Brother Xing is still filming a TV series in Shanghai."

Zeng Li shook her head slightly and said, "He doesn't have time at all. Besides, this is a preview after all. If Brother Xing really wants to appear, it should be at the premiere."

The fan said somewhat disappointedly: "That's right, but we probably won't be eligible to attend the premiere."

“Who can say for sure?”

Zeng Li said with some amusement: "We are lucky to be able to attend the preview. You have to know that there are only a few screenings in total. What is the probability of this?"

The young fan also laughed and said, "Indeed, we can't be ungrateful."

Big Cat whispered, "Stop chatting, the show will start soon, let's not make loud noises, and don't record or take photos, and don't discredit Brother Xing."

Many times, idols pay the price for fans’ actions.

This is not only true for other young and popular stars, but also for Lin Xing.

If the forest is big, there will be all kinds of birds; if the traffic is large, there will be all kinds of fans.

Fortunately, Lin Xing did not set up a fan club, nor did he do anything extreme. He also bought all his peripheral products by himself, and even his autographed photos were worthless.

Not to mention the fans, even Lin Xing didn’t know how many photos he had signed.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing will not have any peripheral products that will be used by some fan circle leaders to make money. Lin Xing has even sued several photographers.

Again, Lin Xing doesn't need this kind of traffic, so he is often attacked by some paparazzi.

You have to know that many photographers make money by relying on celebrities. Just look at places like airports and train stations, you will see so many photographers taking all kinds of photos of celebrities, sometimes even disrupting the order.

But they made the money, but in the end it was the fans who got scolded. Not only that, even the stars got scolded.

Because of this, Lin Xing has always prohibited proxy photography. He always distributes autographed photos at any event he attends. Even if it doesn't matter who the person is, as long as he wants to take a photo with Lin Xing, Lin Xing will never refuse them.

Some artists may not have the time, some may not have the energy, and some may feel that they are superior, so they will not be approachable and take photos with passers-by.

But coincidentally, Lin Xing is very energetic. Not only that, when he is not filming, but when he is off-duty or experiencing life, if he is recognized by passers-by, Lin Xing will really take the trouble to take photos with them.

Compared to the top stars who hire countless fan leaders, fan club presidents, or even specially hire studios to do some things just for exposure, Lin Xing is indeed an outlier.

And precisely because Lin Xing is an outlier, most of his fans are not extreme.

Because extreme fans will never appear in the fan club group.

The reason is very simple. There is no soil for extremism in Lin Xing's fan club. You can't be extreme even if you want to.

Because in these unofficial fan clubs, people can say whatever they want as long as they don't curse at others.

There are no rules here.

We are all normal people, not digital lives, or leeks that are being harvested.

It is also because of this that fan club presidents like Zeng Li and Da Mao are not extreme. In addition to the two of them, there were 5 other fans who came to watch "Going to Heaven".

However, these five fans were not subject to any review, such as personal accounts cannot follow other stars, or can only follow Lin Xing.

But this doesn't mean there are no requirements.

The only requirement is that you have to have a certain understanding of Lin Xing. At the same time, those who like movies but don't want to just go for the slack or just want to show off by attending the preview don't need this.

It was for this reason that Big Cat sent Yan Xiaofang five people.

Yan Xiaofang is also just a high school student, but because she goes to high school in the imperial capital and does not need to study as if she were in prison, her parents do not bother her much, so her parents fully support any of her hobbies.

So, although Yan Xiaofang is young, she is also a small V on Weibo and Bilibili, because her comments on many movies are very sharp.

Even many film critics call Yan Xiaofang "Little Lao Zhong".

After all, Yan Xiaofang's style is really a bit similar to Lao Zhong, especially when everyone learned that Yan Xiaofang was actually a high school student, they were even more shocked.

It is really something to look forward to in the future.

Even Lao Zhong forwarded a film review written by Yan Xiaofang and wrote: "Well written, I think you already have your own style. You are you, just write in your own style."

This is the highest level of star chasing.

Moreover, Yan Xiaofang likes Lin Xing not because of how great he is, and she is not a person who relies on appearance. She only likes him because Lao Zhong supports him.

Then, Yan Xiaofang truly felt that Lin Xing was definitely a legendary cheater.

This is too strong.

Because of this, in the past three years, Yan Xiaofang has also written many works about Lin Xing, and her style has gradually become different from that of Lao Zhong.

After all, it is impossible for the styles to always be the same. If they are really similar, then to put it bluntly, you will just live under the shadow of Lao Zhong all your life.

This is also why Lao Zhong specifically told Yan Xiaofang these words.

The same goes for this. She doesn't want the young Yan Xiaofang to blindly follow her style and end up taking the wrong path.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaofang has really worked hard, and now her account is one of the few that was built out of interest.

Of course, such interest is also determined by the economic conditions of Yan Xiaofang's family.

Originally, Yan Xiaofang was looking forward to meeting Lin Xing at the screening, but she gave up after hearing what Zeng Li said.

She is now thinking about watching the movie "Going to Heaven". You know, Yan Xiaofang is still a high school student, she may not be able to understand this kind of life and death.

But "Going to Heaven" is not restricted to 18s after all, and this movie is actually quite suitable for minors to watch.

After all, the protagonist is Zhang Xiaomai, a first-grade elementary school student.

That's exactly the case. It's nothing special for a high school student like Yan Xiaofang to see it.

What’s more crucial is that Lin Xing told Meng Yan from the very beginning that this is not an art film, so it should not be promoted according to the routine of art films.

Apart from anything else, at least you can't try to be pretentious.

Because many times, the more high-end something is, the more it tends to represent abandoning the masses.

In Lin Xing's opinion, "Going to Heaven" is a movie suitable for all ages. Even though many children do not understand death, and even many people do not know how to talk to children about death, this movie is quite suitable.

This is also a form of propaganda.

What’s more important is that “Going to Heaven” talks about death in an optimistic and even somewhat comedic way, or in other words, this movie is not about death, but about cherishing.

Many times, we always think that there is still plenty of time in the future, and we always get entangled and waste time on all kinds of trivial matters, but when facing death, these are really nothing.

Most of the time, ten years may just pass in the blink of an eye, so it is also very true what the ancients said about showing filial piety as early as possible.

Because for most people, their parents are no longer around when they want to take care of them.

However, there are even more people who do not know how to cherish. They only repent when they are really facing death, but it is already too late.

At this moment, many audiences in Hall 3 are far from having this realization. They are just waiting to watch such a movie.

This should be the first movie about funerals. The many audiences present had different thoughts, but those who were able to attend the preview naturally liked the movie.

Three minutes later, "Going to Heaven" officially began.

The film begins with a funeral, and Mo Sanmei, played by Lin Xing, appears to be helping a deceased person with body plastic surgery.

Because the old man died in his sleep, and he was accompanied only by a granddaughter, and this granddaughter was the orphan Xiao Wu played by Zhang Xiaomai.

The child didn't understand that the old woman had passed away, she just thought that her grandmother was asleep.

A funeral brought Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen together.

……

"Third sister, I have to comfort you. You have to think more positively. It's not a big deal. Isn't it just that others say you eat dead people's food?"

"Isn't it your own girlfriend who dumped you?"

"Isn't it just that your girlfriend cheated on you?"

"Isn't it just that the cuckolded guy is richer and more successful than you?"

"You're the one who eats the dead, has been in jail, has no car, no house, and no savings."

……

"You two shut up, are you trying to comfort me or disgust me?"

……

When Mo Sanmei found out that she was cheated on, and yet she had to pretend to be cheerful and express that she didn't care, and at the same time, the words of advice from his employees, or his two good friends, made Mo Sanmei collapse.

As for the cinema, laughter was heard.

What follows is the interaction between Xiao Wu and Mo Sanmei. Xiao Wu, a child who has grown up without parents and has only depended on her grandmother, really feels that her grandmother was kidnapped by Mo Sanmei's funeral home.

This can be considered a small episode in the film, and as previously publicized, Xiao Wu has a lot of scenes, and she can even be considered the absolute leading female role.

This movie can be said to truly touch the viewers.

The world is impermanent.

And the movie is presented through several funerals.

At the first funeral, an old man died in his sleep, and a group of people held the funeral in a lively manner. Everyone was laughing and joking as if the funeral was held for the living and for the living to see.

Even if the son is sad, he can only be sad for a short while, because he is not just a son, he is also a father, and he needs to consider his son.

The second funeral was for a girl who wanted to bravely pursue her dream, but her parents wanted her to settle down and not be unrealistic. They even threatened to commit suicide. In the end, the filial girl had no choice but to agree, but was hit and killed by a truck when she was in despair.

Life is impermanent.

The third funeral was about an old man who wanted to hold a funeral for himself in advance, and when he faked his death, a farce arose among his children.

It’s all about the demolition fees.

Raising children to provide for your old age ultimately depends on luck.

The fourth funeral was held by the ex-girlfriend for her husband, which really proves the saying that no one can guarantee that they can be arrogant for the rest of their life.

Originally, Mo Sanmei didn't want to agree, but since ancient times, the Chinese have believed that the dead are greatest, and Mo Sanmei already has respect for her profession. At the same time, Mo Sanmei also reconciled with her father.

But as I said, when the relationship between father and son was heating up, Mr. Mo's life also came to an end.

Big things in life, big things in life, there is no big thing in life except death.

This statement made many people present agree deeply.

Even during these five funerals, no one felt sad, or even heavy, because it was just like the various aspects of life, and we seemed to have witnessed all of this just like Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen.

When the movie ended and the lights in the theater came on, many people did not stand up for a long time.

Cherish the people in front of you.

The paintings of Lin Xing and Zhang Xiaomai also appeared at the end, as well as the stars in the sky.

As for the Easter eggs, they are about the lives of Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen, as well as the atmosphere of life on the streets of this city.

world.

The Easter eggs brought everyone back to the human world.

Just as the lyrics say, every star in the sky has loved one of us, so we should cherish the present even more.

Yan Xiaofang may not understand death yet, but she thinks this movie is good.

As for Zeng Li, she only had one feeling.

That's what they say in the movies: Nothing matters more in life than death.
