Chapter 441 I Didn’t Want to Play the Leading Role

Filming The Imperial Guards was within Li Jing's comfort zone. After all, as a martial arts instructor, he had filmed several films on The Imperial Guards with Chen Sheng.

After all, Ming Wei has too many stories to tell.

This script also tells the story of Ming Wei, mainly the story of Jinyiwei, but at the same time this story is very different from the previous ones.

"Axing, what do you think of the script?"

Li Jing first asked Lin Xing: "I heard from Ah Hui that you have a strong understanding of the script. What do you think of this script?"

"pretty good."

Lin Xing expressed his opinion: "I think this film is quite creative, or it has quite a lot of ideas."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

Li Jing actually became interested.

Because he has been revising the script of "The King's Guards", and at the same time he has tailored each role for the first batch of students.

In other words, Li Jing knew where his weakest link was. As he reflected, he was not like some other old guys who thought that the box office failure was all the audience's fault.

On the contrary, Li Jing looked at many people's comments and some responses, and his weakest link lies in the script.

Because of this, he invited several screenwriters to work together on "The Imperial Guards".

Let’s put it this way, first use a 50-minute short film to see the effect. The most important thing is to let investors in the industry see it. If they like it, it is not impossible to adapt it into a movie.

Who is willing to quit?
Especially since Li Jing retired from the circle in disgrace, he certainly still wants to prove himself again, even if it is only as an action director.

That's exactly why Li Jing was really happy that Lin Xing joined.

Of course, in the past month, Li Jing has really done everything he can to help Lin Xing, and he told Lin Xing everything he knew.

In addition, Lin Xing also likes to learn. He can often draw inferences from one example, that is, many sets of moves, how many fighting scenes are made, whether the actors are tied to wires, whether the actors are in mid-air, and other various movements, how are these done? ?
One teaches with heart, the other uses with heart.

In the past month, Lin Xing had to stay with Li Jing almost 24 hours a day at most times.

Sometimes at night when he thought of a move, he would come to Li Jing.

Finally, Li Jing couldn't stand it anymore: "Ah Xing, I'm an old man, I can't stand you to torture me like this. If you have anything to ask, please try to ask during the day, okay?"

Li Jing was an action director, and he was also a director, and he had seen all kinds of dramas. If Li Jing was 20 years younger, he would definitely have a long talk with Lin Xing all night long.

But at his age now, he really can't bear it anymore.

Even if Situ Hui hadn't said this, Li Jing still felt that Lin Xing was really amazing. He was really talented in action scenes, just as Guo Teng said.

What Situ Hui said was that Lin Xing was very talented in scriptwriting.

In that case, there's nothing wrong with asking Lin Xing to give some advice on the script.

What’s more important is that Li Jing actually has his own selfish motives, that is, if the movie “Jin Yi Wei” has Lin Xing’s bonus, then it will definitely be easier to attract investment, right? ?

Whether as an action director or a director, Li Kyoto understands that there must be trade-offs.

Situ Hui had no objection to this.

She was eager to let Lin Xing be the protagonist.

At the beginning, when filming the short film "The King's Guards", Situ Hui just thought that it would be fine as long as she could get a score of 6. She also really wanted to do well for the students.

Situ Hui even found the filming location by herself, and she also made great efforts in preparing the crew, etc. After all, shooting a short film is not that easy.

In this regard, Situ Hui's idea is actually similar to Li Jing's. Apart from anything else, if Lin Xing can really be the protagonist, then this short film "Jin Yi Wei" may really be adapted into a movie.

It is two different things for a film or TV series to have Lin Xing or not.

For example, if you watch "The Age of Struggle", you will know that if there is no Lin Xing, how can it be possible to get an S+? ?

The same is true for movies. Even if Lin Xing takes on a science fiction film that no one is optimistic about, won’t there still be investors? ?

To be honest, no matter what, martial arts novels are more popular than science fiction.

For this reason, Situ Hui actually wanted to know what Lin Xing thought about the script of "The Imperial Guards".

"I think this is more of a spy film than a martial arts film, and if the action is more intense, it would be just right against the backdrop of the Ming Dynasty..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Because what you, Mr. Li, are best at is this kind of fierce action movie..."

As I said, there are actually many types of martial arts films, and when the background is set in the Ming Dynasty, it is inevitable to talk about the characters.

This was Lin Xing's first time reading a script, but he understood it thoroughly in just one hour. This alone made everyone admire him completely.

However, Lin Xing is still quite interested in this script, because it is indeed a chain of events.

Or this is why the three brothers of Jinyiwei, as small people, wanted to control their own destiny but were manipulated by the big people at will.

"Ah Xing, how about you play the role of Duan Gang?"

Li Jing was also shocked by Lin Xing's analysis, but at the same time he was thinking if Lin Xing played the male lead, wouldn't it be better? ?

Originally, Li Jing wanted Xie Long to play the role of Duan Gang, but now it seems that Xie Long can only play another role.

In fact, the students are not newcomers. They have seen too many things like this. This time, it seems that they will have to accompany the prince to study.

This is normal.

Just as Situ Hui told them privately yesterday, if they only shot a short film, then definitely not many people would watch it.

But if this short film had Lin Xing as the leading actor, it would naturally be different.

So rather than saying that he was accompanying the prince to study, it would be more like asking "the boss to take us flying".

Everyone agreed with this.

So, when everyone learned that the protagonist Duan Gang in the play would be played by Lin Xing, they had no dissatisfaction at all.

But Lin Xing really didn't intend to play the leading role from the beginning.

From the beginning to the end, whether it was Li Jing or Situ Hui, it could only be said to be wishful thinking.

Besides, Lin Xing knows his own foundation. It is not impossible for him to play the protagonist Duan Gang, but it is a bit too difficult.

As an actor, you have to know when you are good and when you are not.
