This top guy only treats celebrities as his job
Chapter 542: Strong, all thanks to peers
To be honest, the performance of "Parallel Cohabitation" really shocked Lin Xing.
These days he has been filming scenes for the movie "Death on Earth", in which Lin Xing's performance spans a large period of time.
From preparing to be alone, to suddenly finding a girl he likes, and even having an idea of what the child will be like after meeting her once, this is naturally a slight comedy style.
But later, because his wife suddenly fell ill and there were only two places available to enter the dungeon, the protagonist had to reluctantly give up treatment.
This is the saddest thing when you reach middle age, but you have to be strong for the sake of your children.
But he stayed at the airport for more than ten years. At this time, his son had grown up, but there was a gap between him and him. Come to think of it, his son is now in his 20s. He has not been with him for more than ten years. He also remembers that he gave up his mother's treatment with his own hands. How can he not hate him?
In short, such a character is not easy to play.
He has to act out the carefreeness or mischievousness of his youth, and also the happiness and love of marriage. Then his wife gets cancer, and in the end he has to give up the person he loves most with his own hands.
Lin Xing acted opposite Guan Peng, Liu Baofeng and Chen Ning successively. Except for Chen Ning who finished filming, Guan Peng and Liu Baofeng had to act in other scenes.
The current explosion scenes were shot by the team led by Wei Lu, and she happened to be shooting Guan Peng's scenes first.
Among the several points that promote the growth of the protagonist Lin Xing, Guan Peng plays Lin Xing's master, but it can also be said that he personally watched Lin Xing grow up.
As a result, Guan Peng also went on a mission to bomb the moon, and detonating a nuclear bomb meant there was no return.
Guan Peng decided to do this without hesitation because he is old and he needs to leave the chance of life to young people.
This is the essence of the original work.
Lin Xing was also touched when he saw this scene, and Lin Xing told Wei Lu about this point, and he must film the tragic scene like the original one no matter what.
Treat death as home.
Even if we are usually careless, even if we really have some shortcomings, but in the face of danger, responsibility is the most important thing.
There is no such thing as fair or unfair, because if everything is about official business, then nothing can be done.
Even this kind of thing only exists in Eastern narratives and is completely incomprehensible in Western narratives.
This is what Lin Xing often said during the script discussion: we are not going to film heroism, we are only going to film our own collectivism.
In Lin Xing's opinion, this scene was the most important. He was really addicted to filming Wei Lu's individualism, and he really messed it up during the filming, so Lin Xing came over to watch it.
I really watched the whole time.
"That's not right, Director Wei. This character is not trying to show off, or to be in the limelight. You have to know that this mission is to die, but why did he go? Because he knows that in times of crisis, responsibility comes first, and he is already over 50 years old and has no other abilities. He is about to retire, but how can he watch young people who haven't married or had children die?"
Lin Xing explained to Wei Lu: "For this reason, we filmed the scene in a tragic and majestic way according to the script..."
You have to know that this is the first part of "Dead on Earth". If this first part is not well shot, how can the audience watch the next two parts? ?
Wei Lu's shooting style is bold and open, and his police and gangster films are basically about lone heroes. After all, Wei Lu was greatly influenced by the heroic style of Hollywood.
So naturally, she inevitably had to film it as a one-man show during the shoot.
Even a show like "Breaking Bad" which was intended to be a story about two heroes solving a case in the beginning, ended up being a duel between two heroes.
Wei Lu obviously couldn't understand this kind of collective center. She even felt that no one would believe it if it was filmed according to the original novel.
"Ah Xing, most of the time what people hate the most is movies that are sentimental and tear-jerking. When people face disasters, they must protect themselves..."
Wei Lu advised Lin Xing: "For this reason, I think it's okay to shoot it in a tragic way, but this character must be shown..."
Good guy.
Lin Xing can now understand the personalities of these great directors, and even why some of them started out as producers but ended up becoming directors.
As a director, he has a strong desire for control.
Lin Xing had never worked with Wei Lu before, so he couldn't understand what was going on between Yuan Yu and Wei Lu.
Maybe after this scene, Lin Xing felt that he could understand it a little bit.
"Director Wei, this kind of collectivism is actually everywhere in real life..."
Lin Xing said at this time: "Don't we also provide saturation rescue when encountering various things? When we encounter an accident or a disaster..."
For Lin Xing, he really found that he was unable to persuade Wei Lu.
You have to know that at Wei Lu's age, how could she be easily convinced? ?
Besides, how can a director who can be easily persuaded be a good director? ?
At present, Lin Xing no longer has the energy or time to persuade Wei Lu.
He said directly to Wei Lu: "Director Wei, we are here to make a movie, not to quarrel. If you can finish the explosion scene as soon as possible, we can start shooting "Street Explosion" as soon as possible. And I invited you to shoot the explosion scene, not to let you decide how to shoot the movie. Do you understand what I mean?"
To be honest, Lin Xing really found that Wei Lu was a stubborn person. It was almost impossible to convince such a person.
Because of this, Lin Xing was prepared to say it directly.
This made Wei Lu stunned for a moment. After all, she had never seen Lin Xing so serious, even a little aggressive.
And for a moment, Wei Lu was ready to quit. She believed that she could not relax her seriousness about the film no matter what.
But Wei Lu suddenly found that she could quit her job. Could it be that "Hot Street" could also quit?
Besides, this was already agreed upon with Lin Xing. He would come to shoot "Explosion" and Lin Xing would turn around to help him shoot "Explosion Street".
This is a common resource exchange in the circle.
If Wei Lu really quits her job now, then it would be unkind of her to do so.
"Okay, I understand."
Wei Lu took a deep breath and said at this time.
So the subsequent filming naturally went much more smoothly.
For Wei Lu, it’s not that she can’t shoot collectivism, it’s just that she doesn’t want to shoot it. When she pinched her nose and really shot collectivism, she actually shot it pretty well.
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Wei." After Wei Lu finished filming, Lin Xing handed Wei Lu a bottle of water and said, "You will have to trouble Director Wei for the next few days. I won't come over so that you won't be upset when you see me."
Hearing Lin Xing's joke, Wei Lu also laughed: "Ah Xing, am I the kind of person who holds grudges? I'm just talking about the facts. Just like the movie you mentioned, I just came here to shoot, so I won't make any comments. But when we're filming "Hot Street", we might still quarrel like this. Of course, your agent has reminded me before, so if it really comes to a decisive matter, I will definitely listen to you..."
Obviously, Wei Lu is not unwilling to compromise. Now that "Hot Street" has transferred its shares, Lin Xing, as the boss, certainly has the right to decide.
For this reason, Wei Lu naturally knew which end was light and which end was heavy.
However, Wei Lu herself would say it in advance, that is, she couldn't control herself, because she had been making movies for a lifetime, how could she control her temper?
In response, Lin Xing expressed his understanding: "Director Wei, you are exaggerating. You are the director on the set, so you naturally have the final say. If there is any controversy during the filming of "Hot Street", I will naturally listen to you."
Wei Lu said, "We'll talk about it later, but Xing, I now understand why you have always been successful."
Lin Xing: "Director Wei..."
"Let me finish what I'm saying. You know, as an actor, you must have your own persistence, your own judgment, and even your own perseverance. Otherwise, you can't be a good actor."
Wei Lu interrupted Lin Xing and said, "Just like the recent movie Parallel Cohabitation, which I watched myself and thought was just average. I even thought that a box office of 1 million would be good, but I didn't expect it to reach 10 billion..."
At this point, Wei Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Although I said I won't make a movie just for the box office, but as a director, which one doesn't want a high box office? So whether it's "Death on Earth" or the next "Hot Street", we should have a debate. Don't worry, I, Wei Lu, am not someone who won't listen to opinions, and you are different from Yuan Yu..."
If Yuan Yu were here, he would probably be furious again.
After all, in Yuan Yu's opinion, he was far ahead of Lin Xing. Lin Xing was just getting started in the film industry, so what if those three art films had high box office sales? ?
He, Yuan Yu, is the future successor of Kung Fu movies.
Of course, if other people heard what Yuan Yu said, they would only think that Yuan Yu was really arrogant and thought too much.
Is he also the successor of Kung Fu movies? ?
Kung Fu movies are dying, and you're still here to take over? ?
Of course, Yuan Yu is a first-line artist after all, and he has starred in several classic movies and won many awards, so his status in the circle is unquestionable.
But in Wei Lu's opinion, Yuan Yu was just in a good situation and he was not as good as Lin Xing.
This refers to vision.
Just like the recent release of "Parallel Cohabitation", who would have thought that such a movie would directly be predicted to break 10 billion at the box office? ?
This is probably also why Wei Lu admires Lin Xing.
If you have strength, status, appeal, and persuasiveness, then what's wrong with having a bit of temper? ?
What's more, this time in "Hot Street", it was Lin Xing who helped Wei Lu.
Otherwise, Wei Lu would have no chance to prove herself.
Then everyone in the industry might think how sorry Wei Lu was to Yuan Yu.
Lin Xing naturally didn't know all this, he just thought that as long as the filming went smoothly no matter what, it would be fine.
Of course, Lin Xing also didn’t expect that “Parallel Cohabitation” would become so popular again in the fourth week.
At the beginning, Lin Xing felt that no matter what, "Parallel Cohabitation" would pay for itself sooner or later, so he had a very Buddhist attitude.
Let’s put it this way, being Buddhist is one thing, but a bunch of people followed him to make a movie, and Lin Xing had said before that he had to fight for these people.
Apart from anything else, at least "Parallel Cohabitation" must have a small goal.
Now it seems that 10 of these small goals have been achieved, which is not bad.
"It must be held. Let's do this. We can hold it when we reach 10 billion. By then it will be almost the end of the month. I don't think there will be any other potential..."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "I will be done by then, so I can announce the news about "Hot Streets" as a warm-up..."
Lin Xing is indeed very confident about "Hot Streets". He is even more confident than "Death on Earth".
At first, Ding Chunling did not recommend Lin Xing to invest, but after hearing Lin Xing's confidence, she even thought that the performance of "Hot Street" would not be bad, and might even make a profit.
In this case, Ding Chunling will naturally pay more attention to "Hot Street".
So when Ding Chunling heard that Lin Xing was going to promote "Hot Street" at the celebration party of "Parallel Cohabitation", she felt it was perfect.
In the next few days, the fourth week box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" came out, directly reaching 2.7 million.
It can be said that the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" reversed the decline in the fourth week.
At the beginning, everyone thought that based on the weekly box office of "Parallel Cohabitation", it would be difficult to break 10 billion.
But now it seems that this is really getting closer.
"Parallel Cohabitation" has been officially released for 4 weeks, which means that including the preview, it has been basically a little more than a month and has exceeded 7 million.
If it were any other movie, it would have lost its appeal a month after its release, but "Parallel Cohabitation" is different.
This is so damn powerful.
Therefore, if the market continues to be strong in the next two weeks, breaking 10 billion is only a matter of time. Even if the market can continue to be strong, it may even break more than 10 billion.
Yang Tian is still doing roadshows.
Her voice was already a little hoarse, but she had no intention of taking a break. Other actors also joined the crew one after another, but Yang Tian started running to the end alone.
"I really want to thank everyone, but I want to say it again that you really don't need to care too much about my health, and I don't want marketing to say that I'm playing a pity game or something like that. How many times do I have to say it? I'm really not pitiful. I'm going to be an actress with a billion-dollar No. 10 female lead soon..."
Yang Tian's remarks were truly high EQ, and even received applause from the audience.
Even people in the industry have changed their views on Yang Tian.
Everyone knows that roadshows are the most important means to maintain the long-term success of a movie, but roadshows must be effective.
This is Yang Tian’s ability.
