Chapter 290 Lin Xuan: Set a small goal first! (Please subscribe!)

"Let us welcome the main creative guests of the movie "The Dark Side", Lin Xuan, Fan Xiaopang, and Gao Yuanyuan."

The three people appeared one after another and waved to the audience.

The stage layout of the talk show is very simple, just two spacious and comfortable large sofas.

The big screen in the background is a giant poster of "The Dark Side".

"Hello host, hello fellow audience members, wishing you all a happy New Year in advance..."

Lin Xuan stood up to greet the fans, and then sat between Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan.

"Before the interview, let me first let Director Lin Xuan introduce the film."

"The movie "The Dark Side" is a movie that combines the three elements of love, suspense, and thriller.

Most of the plot of the film takes place in a special house.

"Yes, and it's an amazing twist, just like my debut novel "Adult Style of Love."

"The level of confidentiality is so high. Will there be a big twist in the movie?"

She was scalded by hot water while taking a shower and discovered something strange in the bathroom mirror...

"Because this is a dual-heroine movie, the core of the film is the confrontation between the two of them."

The host nodded and continued to ask questions.

Fan Xiaopang and I play a couple, but one day she disappears for no reason and cannot be found, as if she has disappeared from the world..."

Quickly edited scenes, narration about clouds and mountains, and a thrilling and low soundtrack.

The photographer took a close-up, and the audience noticed that the goddess was blushing, and immediately screamed with excitement.

Without revealing the mystery of the movie, Lin Xuan edited together the more exciting clips in the movie.

"I am a tool that causes conflict and transformation between the two heroines. I have no other use than that. I just want to throw it away after use."

"Don't you have many roles in the movie?"

I believe everyone will be surprised when the secret of the conspiracy is revealed. "

If you want to know the answer to the story, just go to the cinema during the Spring Festival to find out. "

Gao Yuanyuan and Lin Xuan met by chance in a bar and returned to the room for a passionate kiss.

Gao Yuanyuan blushed a little and covered her mouth in embarrassment.

The male protagonist played by Lin Xuan sits on the sofa in a daze and decadence, holding a video recorder in his hand.

Fan Xiaopang had a conflict with him and let out a desperate roar. Lin Xuan showed signs of taking action.

"There are quite a lot of scenes, but I am just a tool who is kept in the dark."

Several police officers entered the house to investigate, and Lin Xuan explained his girlfriend's disappearance.

"Tool man? What does this word mean?"

Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, the core part of suspense movies is trickery.

After half a minute, the playback ends.

"On this movie poster, Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan are standing in the front. Your image is in the back and smaller than them. Why are these?"

Immediately afterwards, the screen screen quickly switched.

Fan Xiaopang also smiled and clapped.

I can't reveal too much about the details or it would be a spoiler.

"This is an interesting statement. The movie will be released on New Year's Day, and I can't wait now.

A low musical instrument sounded.

"The trailer is very rhythmic, but I found that there are many revealing scenes in the film."

"The plot of the movie is a bit complicated. Can you explain it in more detail?"

"Dong~~"

Everyone took their body measurements and looked at the big screen on the stage.

You are already old, why are you pretending to be a shy girl?

The audience was attracted by the exciting trailer and stared at the big screen attentively.

Lin Xuan briefly described the plot of the story.

But when he finished speaking, the host was still confused.

Let us watch a trailer first to satisfy our eyes. "

Hearing what the host said, the audience immediately burst into laughter.

However, when she glanced at Gao Yuanyuan, she showed a bit of disdain.

That tense and exciting atmosphere hits your face.

The audience came to their senses and burst into applause.

How did she know that male viewers like to see beautiful women blush.

Mr. Lao She once said: "There are not many truths in the world. A woman's blush is worth a long dialogue!"

When the audience's laughter gradually subsided, Lin Xuan raised the microphone and explained:
"There are a lot of explicit scenes in the movie..."

Before he finished speaking, the male audience in the audience immediately burst into excitement.

Lin Xuan is such a good person!
He never hides good things, but takes them out and shares them with his brothers.

I’m determined to watch this movie, even Jesus can’t stop me!
"Okay, please keep the audience quiet."

"These explicit scenes are not intentional, but are for the pursuit of real life conditions.

I think the best thriller is when an unusual situation suddenly appears in the life you are accustomed to.

The kind where a monster suddenly jumps out and scares you is at best a horror movie, not a thriller. "

Lin Xuan explained the exposed scene.

He did not want the audience to misunderstand and think that he relied on his privileges to shoot some scenes that ordinary directors were not allowed to shoot.

If that were the case, the audience would definitely curse when they walked into the cinema.

Because most of the revealing scenes in the movie were shown in the trailer just now.

Lin Xuan's interview topic ended, and the host asked the question to the two heroines.

The first is Gao Yuanyuan, whose blush has not yet dissipated.

Hundreds of viewers watched her bathing scene and screamed and caroused. She was really a little shy.

"Yuanyuan, the audience likes the character you play very much. Let me introduce it to everyone."

“The character I play is a bartender, and she’s a very emotional person.

The male protagonist came to the bar to drink after being heartbroken, and because he cried so sadly, she fell hopelessly in love with him..."

"Okay, now Fan Xiaopang is welcome to introduce his role."

"The character I played was a makeup artist on the set. Because I often put makeup on the male protagonist, the two gradually developed a good relationship.

In order to better grasp the psychology of the character, I went to several production crews to chat with the makeup artists.

Talk about their daily work, their opinions on actors, and what they would do if they meet an actor they like..."

The two heroines introduced their roles respectively.

In order to keep it secret, they did not talk about the plot, but analyzed the psychology of the characters and the situation of such professionals in reality.

After they answered their questions, the host approached Lin Xuan again.

"I heard that the movie only took a month from start to finish. Why was it shot so fast? It seems like this in every one of your works."

There is a consensus in the industry that great directors work slowly and carefully when filming.

The more you like to grind, it means that the director has high requirements for the film, and the final quality will definitely not be bad.

The host's question is a bit sharp.

However, when communicating about the script, Lin Xuan did not delete this item.

I definitely need to explain something about filming quickly.

Otherwise, it will not only affect the general audience's view of the movie, but also affect the relationship between fans and others.

The anti-fans directly said that Lin Xuan shoots movies so quickly, it must be an assembly line product, has no soul, and does not understand art.

Even if fans want to refute, they will find unreliable endorsements.

“The movie is shot quickly, first of all, the script is well polished, so you don’t have to be distracted and revise it during filming.

The second is the actor's performance, you must do your homework in advance.

Just like this movie, I gave them the complete script and character biographies three months in advance.

Both of them have been rehearsing at home during this time and often call me for advice.

If you don't believe it, you can check their schedule. There must be very few commercial performances in these three months.

Then the director has to make preparations.

Before the movie started shooting, I drew a complete storyboard, and I knew exactly how to shoot each scene.

Finally, there is the scene layout of the movie. Eighty percent of the entire movie takes place in a villa, so the shooting efficiency must be much faster. "

"About that villa, I heard that you have bought it?"

The trailer showed panoramic views and interior views of the villa, and its level of luxury made many viewers gasp.

I thought it was a venue rented by the crew, but I didn't expect that Lin Xuan had a lot of money and bought it directly.

Lin Xuan nodded and smiled: "Yes, the original owner has plans to sell it, and the price is more appropriate."

"Then this can be considered as filming a movie in your own home."

"Haha, you're right."

"Last question, the film has been shortlisted for the Berlin International Film Festival. Are you confident of winning the award?"

“The film festival hasn’t started yet, so it’s too early to talk about winning awards.

I think we should be down-to-earth and set a small goal first, such as being shortlisted for the main competition unit. "

Hearing this, the host almost lost his composure.

She bit her lip hard to keep from laughing.

Being shortlisted for the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival is no small goal.

I can count the number of directors in the Mainland who can do this on two hands.

Program recording ends.

CCTV staff moved several tables over.

Lin Xuan, Fan Xiaopang and Gao Yuanyuan signed the movie posters on the spot and gave them to the lucky audience in the audience.

…………

A few days later, the crew was out on a promotional tour.

The CCTV interview program was broadcast during prime time in the evening.

After the show ended, the Internet immediately became lively.

Not surprisingly, the most discussed ones are the bathing scenes.

"I really admire Lin Xuan. It's the first time I discovered that Gao Yuanyuan is so beautiful. I didn't feel this way in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer"."

"Don't forget, Lin Xuan is not only an actor, but also a film director. This light, shadow, and camera movement are simply masterful."

"The bathing scene in the bathtub was so erotic that I couldn't hold it back."

"This is what you call a director. There is obviously no revealing scene, but the shots are so addictive."

"Fan Xiaopang's photos are also very good. I felt white, pure and clean at first sight."

"Lin Xuan is really awesome. He can make the goddess of literature and art look lustful and the beauties look pure."

"Why are you talking about women? You only think with your lower body, right?"

"The plot of the movie is not revealed at all. If you don't talk about women, what is there to talk about?"

"Lin Xuan is so rich. He bought the villa directly for filming. This villa must cost several million."

"It must be more than a few million. This is a French villa from the last century, and it is on the protection list."

"Why can he still buy it if he's on the protection list? Privileges?"

"Fuck privileges, you can buy them if you have money. For buildings on the protected list, the exterior walls are not allowed to be modified casually, but the interior can be decorated however you like."

"It made me laugh! Lin Xuan said to set a small goal first. I thought it was something, but it turned out that he was shortlisted for the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival."

"Lin Xuan is right, this is a small goal for him."

"I don't know when Feng Xiaogang will achieve this small goal."

"He just acted like a turtle and didn't show up for half a month."

…………

With the widespread dissemination of various variety shows and movie trailers, the media has also begun to follow suit.

Regarding the content shown in the trailer, the media had both positive and negative reviews.

But the slogan "Watch a movie on New Year's Day" has spread everywhere.

Feng Xiaogang kicked off the "Lunar New Year stalls" in the mainland.

Lin Xuan opened up a new track "Spring Festival stall".

The media interviewed many people about their views on this new track.

Many middle-aged and elderly people expressed dissatisfaction.

The Spring Festival holiday is for you to celebrate the New Year. Whatever movie you watch, it should be a family-friendly movie.

Most young viewers said they were acceptable.

Instead of sitting stiffly in front of relatives and being questioned about your income and objects, you might as well go to the cinema and watch a movie.

The only ones who firmly opposed it were the staff of the cinema.

Damn it, I finally had a holiday during the Spring Festival, and now I have to work overtime because of you.

…………

28 number.

The last stop for the crew's promotion was Lin Xuan's hometown.

The people in his hometown support him very much. In addition to the four major ticket silos, it is the province with the highest movie box office.

More than 5,000 fans gathered at the event that day.

The open square outside the mall was packed to the brim.

The balconies of the surrounding communities were also full of people, and there were serious traffic jams on several nearby streets.

The afternoon activities are over.

The crew rested in the room arranged by the organizer.

They had to wait until all the crowds were evacuated before they could leave by car.

"You guys will go back to the capital later. I'll go back in a few days."

Lin Xuan said to the two of them while eating lunch.

"why?"

"why?"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at them both speechlessly.

"This is my hometown. I definitely have to go back to see my parents."

"Oh~~"

The two of them suddenly realized, and then their eyes became a little strange.

"What are you two planning?"

Fan Xiaopang smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't met your parents yet. It happens to be the Chinese New Year soon, so I'll buy some gifts and see them."

"That's right, we can go back a few days later."

"Yuanyuan, you have been out for so long. Your parents must miss you. You should go back today."

"My home is in the capital, and I can see my parents every day. It's rare for your parents to come from Qindao, so you should spend more time with them."

The two were talking and quarreling again.

Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly, lowered his head and continued eating.

In the evening, the three of them drove to Lin Xuan's house.

Coincidentally, the venue of the event happened to be in a shopping mall.

After the meal, the three of them bought a lot of clothes, jewelry, and health care products, stuffing the trunks of several cars full.

The shopping guide lady opened her mouth in surprise. It was probably the first time she saw a boss with such a strong purchasing power. It seemed like she was buying things for free.

"I told you in advance that when you arrive, don't talk nonsense or do anything strange."

Lin Xuan was not afraid of anything else. He was just afraid that the two of them would have their heads twitched and force him to have a baby with his parents, or expose his background.

"Don't worry, let's just say we are your good friends."

Lin Xuan suggested: "It's better to talk to the crew colleagues."

Gao Yuanyuan retorted: "No, how can any colleague be willing to spend a lot of money to buy gifts for his colleagues?"

"That's right! I've never bought so many things for my parents!"

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes.

"You also know that you have spent a lot of money, and no one will listen to you if I ask you to buy less."

"Aren't you trying to impress your parents?"

"Forget it, the ugly daughter-in-law will have to meet her parents-in-law sooner or later."

"You are the ugly one!"
