Chapter 426 Whose Roadshow Is Talking 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 an art film???"

At today's road show in Shanghai, some audience members asked Lin Xing.

"No, are you a reporter or a spectator??"

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 drama now, I only think about this movie..."

For Lin Xing, he is not someone who can serve two purposes.

What's more important is that he is thinking about this movie now, and now he needs to go all out to promote this movie.

Of course, Lin Xing actually has some unfinished filming of the TV series "The Age of Fighting".

What he wants to do is to continue filming the movie "Going to Heaven" after the road show ends for almost a month.

How can I still think about the next movie? ? ?

"Brother Xing, I want to ask, since Mo Sanmei's ex-girlfriend's husband died in the drama, does Mo Sanmei still like her??"

This was asked by a girl.

Because she always felt that Mo Sanmei was a little lonely in the end when she was alone in this movie? ?

"I have to tell you this."

At this time, Qi Ning, who is the screenwriter and director of "Go to Heaven" said: "Actually, the script was not like this at the beginning. The script was intended to make Mo Sanmei and Xiao Wu's mother have feelings. We What I thought was that Mo Sanmei would always find love..."

This is indeed the original script.

But during the script discussion, Lin Xing felt that Xiao Wu’s mother’s entry would ruin the original rhythm.

Therefore, 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 trying to clear her name? What is the last resort she has to clear her name? ?

Not only that, but also for her to have some so-called love lines for Mo Sanmei? ?

In Lin Xing's opinion, these are simply unnecessary.

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's life from birth to death, and then to the trivial things in between.

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's 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 what is happening today.

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: "The movie king and the emperor can't change my script even if they come here. They are just hugely illiterate."

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 stars who want the second male and female actors in the same crew to have fewer roles.

The reason 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 played Xiao Wu's mother also had no objections to this.

Because it was false to say that I had no objection at the beginning. After all, who would want 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.

Just so, at today's road show, Zhang Xian, 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 said with a smile: "Actually, there is not so much so-called halo. I always feel that everything is for the movie, and when I stepped into the role of Mo Sanmei, she What will he do? He loves his ex-girlfriend, but that is only for a period of time. Love is like this. Loving him at that time does not mean that he will continue to love him in the future. At the same time, I don’t think Mo Sanmei is lonely because he still has Xiao Wu accompanying him. In addition, he has many friends. I think love is not necessarily everything in life. Getting married and having children is an option, but being unmarried and infertile is also an option. In the movie, when Mo Sanmei experienced There were so many things, he had seen so many joys and sorrows, and after the separation of life and death, I don’t think he was thinking about finding his other half at that stage..."

At this point, Lin Xing paused and continued: "But this is life. Your thoughts are different at every stage of life. Today you may be thinking about being unmarried and infertile in the future, then the next stage may be Thinking about having children and getting married, I still say that 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 changing. Talk about it, who can say for sure about the future? So I think what we have to do is enjoy the present, don’t waste our time, don’t squander our energy, don’t waste our 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 had just added on this issue. As a result, Lin Xing had more to say.

Finally, Lin Xing even 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 a good 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, but as long as we keep walking in the right direction, it will be fine. ”

After Lin Xing finished speaking, another audience member stood up and said: "Brother Xing, how do you judge whether your path is correct? I am indeed like you said, I often watch some Philosophy of life, even reading some inspiring words and books.

But even so I couldn'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. Now I can do 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'm working in the company, I check my phone while I'm 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 say anything about the movie, he just said something about himself.

He even seemed so confused.

"Actually, I 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."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "In fact, we often don't set goals for ourselves, let alone treat life as a 100-meter sprint. I remember when I went to film school to study, a teacher said something to me, he Tell me, in this industry of actors, you don’t compete for success, but you compete for eloquence. Just like me, I became famous at a young age. I was so popular at the beginning, but the result is still..."

Lin Xing used 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.

And what happened next?

It’s not that you’re angry 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 some people's relatives and friends, their lives were not very good, and many times they were 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 had their lives getting 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 don't reach the end, you don't know or say at all. I don’t know what will happen…”

Lin Xing said again for the last time: "Just like our movie, isn't that what the saying on the phone says that life is nothing but death?? As long as we live, life is 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 life events, why not discuss life? ?

In the end, it even turned into an open-hearted book club.

Everyone expresses their own opinions.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "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 inevitable to be unmarried and infertile. You I like Lin Xing and I hate Lin Xing. This is normal. There is no need for everyone to get angry because of this, because we have to focus on things that are more worthy of discussion.

Sometimes when we watch movies and TV series, we feel that time flies so fast. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. But if you look at reality, is it not the case? ? ?

Just like me, I used to be one of the most popular groups [Xingyaohai]. That was already 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 that these ten years of being obsolete were just a matter of seconds? ? ?

What I am most grateful for is that "Farming" made more viewers recognize me, and "Growing" 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 realize that it was more than ten years ago that I graduated from high school."

"Yes, I always felt like I was a child at first, but in the blink of an eye I became a middle-aged man in his thirties."

"Life really flies by in a blink of an eye, especially after I turned 30, I realized that time flies by so fast. Many times I meet my friends only to realize that the last time we met was three or four years ago. forward."

…

"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 had collapsed for three or four years."

"No, what you are thinking is a bit..."

…

At this time, the road show finally came to an end with everyone's vigorous discussion.

Later, Lin Xing accepted an interview with media reporters.

"I really didn't expect that the box office would 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."

"Audiences are indeed the cutest people. They tend to like it if you shoot it well, and they will promote it to anyone."

"No, I just said it during the road show. I really don't think about making a movie for the time being. 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 kept talking, and the words were 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 work hard and do it well."
