Chapter 443 I Am Different From Them

In Li Jing's opinion, he took the short film "Jin Yi Wei" very seriously this time, and this attention was reflected in the fact that he invited several masters to work together on the script.

Not only that, Li Jing also invited several masters from the history department to work on the historical background of the movie "Jin Yi Wei".

Let me put it this way.

Many people criticized Li Jing for tampering with history in "18 Heroes of the Republic of China", and he also integrated several masters who were not from the same time and space.

Ip Man and Huo Yuanjia even exchanged martial arts together.

This is a bit weird.

It is said that drama is not nonsense, and adaptation is not random editing. Since you said that this is a serious drama with historical themes, it seems to be a lie.

So "18 Heroes of the Republic of China" is almost unpopular, and it is even a bit unlike it.

It is not history when it is said to be history, it is not martial arts when it is said to be martial arts, and it is a kung fu film but it wants to lean towards the seriousness of a serious drama.

Therefore, it is reasonable that "18 Heroes of the Republic of China" failed, and it would be unacceptable if it did not fail.

Simply put, Li Jing has a master's disease.

Whether it is the dramas he has acted as the action director or the dramas he has filmed, he will not consider history or anything like that.

He only considers one thing: "Is the action cool? Is the fighting scene exciting? Does the audience like it?"

But now he has become a master, so he has a little style, or even a little airs.

At this time, he thinks more.

He wants it all. He wants the audience to like him, but he doesn't want the industry to scold him for making a lot of money. At the same time, he wants every role to be exciting and to take care of all aspects.

How is this possible? ?

So Li Jing simply didn't lead the script for "Jin Yi Wei". He only designed the action scenes and acted as a good action director. As for the script, it was all handed over to several masters.

This type of film belongs to martial arts films, but it is different from other martial arts films, and it tells the stories of small people while respecting history.

Some time ago, Li Jing had dinner with Cheng An and talked about the decline of martial arts films.

What is martial arts? ?

It is to take the knight as the protagonist, with the magical martial arts skills as the characteristics, to portray and promote the spirit of the knight.

Look at the martial arts movies in the past, aren't there all kinds of heroes, even the greatest knights, serving the country and the people, isn't that the case?

Not to mention the routines of learning martial arts from a master.

But I'm tired of it.

The decline of martial arts is actually due to the drastic change in the meaning of "knight". Old audiences have visual fatigue after seeing the fancy kung fu and CG, while new audiences have found that the relevance of martial arts movies to life has dropped sharply.

Because nowadays, society is not about the greatest knights, but the greatest power and the greatest money.

Youdao: How can your ten years of hard study be worth the efforts of my three generations? ?

Therefore, Li Jing felt that he could completely make a martial arts movie for ordinary people, or even a martial arts movie focusing on small people.

It is impossible for ordinary people to change their fate. In this movie "Jinyiwei", it is actually about the Jinyiwei who are feared by the people in the chaotic world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but they are still ants in the hearts of those in power.

In the Ming Dynasty, good people did not live long, and knights did not live long. You will find that the movie "Jinyiwei" can actually show why the Ming Dynasty fell.

Because everyone is fighting for their own interests, and what does the Ming Dynasty have to do with me?

Whether it is Chongzhen or the eunuch party headed by Wei Zhongxian, or even the Donglin party headed by Feng Hai, they are fighting each other, and no one cares how bad the situation is.

In this movie, it is actually a struggle in the temple, to be precise, it is a struggle between Feng Hai, the leader of the Donglin party, and Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch party. In many cases, the bigwigs in the court do not even need to fight to death, and even a little fight will cause ordinary people to suffer.

As the saying goes, if your grandfather makes a mistake, my grandfather will go to beg for food.

As I just said, this is a martial arts film about ordinary people.

What were martial arts films like in the past? ?

The heroes at least drank and ate meat.

At the very least, they had to be unrestrained.

But what is the situation of this script? ? ?

The three brothers of Jinyiwei are Duan Gang, Cui Jian, and Zheng Xiaohai.

Among them, Duan Gang is the absolute male lead, but he is the second brother. He loves the geisha of Jiaofangsi but has no money to redeem her.

As for the eldest brother Zheng Xiaohai, he obviously worked diligently and even used the money to bribe his superiors to open up connections. He even thought about being promoted to a hundred households to satisfy his mother, but he had no way.

The money was taken by the superiors.

The merits were taken by the superiors.

But he could never be promoted.

As for the third brother, he is even worse off. He is not only weak but also has tuberculosis. Moreover, he joined the Jinyiwei under a false name. Because of this reason, he has always been blackmailed by his senior brother Qi Wei.

In short, each of the three has his own difficulties. What do you think of this as a hero? ?

In Lin Xing's opinion, the most "heroic" character in "Jinyiwei" is probably Qi Wei, who is both good and evil.

This character is interesting.

Yes.

Lin Xing thinks it is interesting. Although he only has a few scenes, Lin Xing always feels that there should be more to explore about this character.

Or because Qi Wei is a supporting role, and unlike Chongzhen, Wei Zhongxian, or even Donglin Party leader Feng Lin, who have prototypes, there is too much creativity.

There is more to explore about original characters.

For this reason, Lin Xing was already preparing to play this supporting role after reading the script.

What's more, this was originally a short film. This short film had these students as the protagonists from the beginning. Even if Lin Xing liked the script, he had no intention of stealing the opportunity from these people.

He is not like some acting sects or veteran actors who must play the leading role, and he must not be suppressed.

Forget about short films, there are many veteran actors who want status in variety shows.

In this circle, the characters of many veteran actors are not as good as those of young actors.

Just like many people always say why a certain old drama star is never popular? ? ?

In fact, sometimes for these veteran actors, not being popular is the only way to protect them.

After all, paste is the best protective color.

If you don’t believe it, look at that one. Didn’t that one suddenly become famous and then quickly collapse?

Therefore, many people now understand that no matter who it is, as long as he is not popular, there is definitely a reason.

Character? character? Or there are various dark histories that prevent people from betting on treasures, etc. In short, it’s all normal.

There is a more important reason, that is, no one can resist peeling.

You see, after many newcomers suddenly become famous, they are often stripped of their skins. There are also some who become popular by relying on tough guy personas, but are stripped of their skins and treated like ducks.

There are too few people like Lin Xing who gain more fans after being skinned.

Because how to say? ?

There are too many temptations in the entire entertainment industry, and regardless of the wooing from various forces and various resources after becoming popular, who can refuse it? ?

Just like a female artist can play the female lead if she sleeps with the director?

Do you think she is sleeping? ?

Otherwise, why do so many female artists attend the dinner party? ? ?

Not just female artists, but male artists too? ?

There are too many double-plugs in the entire entertainment industry. Isn’t Fan Qiang, the green tea in the current TV drama director world, ripped apart by male artist companies? ?

Of course, these are generally not discussed too vigorously. If they are discussed too much, the account will be blown up.

Just like Ji Yingxue, who is now married to her husband and godson, who still remembers all the dark history of Ji Yingxue twenty years ago? ?

When Ji Yingxue got married, a lot of people were saying that her husband had a lot of cuckolds, and that he could join a football team.

But now? ?

Ji Yingxue succeeded in attracting numerous fans thanks to her role as a good wife and mother in variety shows. As for the original image that was stood up and kicked by various big shots, she has long since disappeared.

This is reality. The memory of the Internet is often only 7 seconds. After the [Gossip Talk] website was bombed, many male and female artists in the entertainment industry breathed a sigh of relief.

Therefore, since you can get away with being a bitch or a duck after becoming famous, it doesn't matter if you become a mistress, steal other people's husbands, sleep with other people's wives, hug the mentor's third leg, or even make "paper clips" together.

Because as long as the resources are given, it will be worth it.

In this circle, there is no shame in exchanging one's body for resources. What is shameful is that one cannot exchange one's body for resources, and is even 'not popular' or 'out of fashion'.

So why do so many artists stop talking about buying hot searches and the like? They even take the initiative to attend dinner parties, even famous artists.

Why? ?

Isn't it just that I'm afraid that I won't be popular?

The treatment and attention of being popular or not is going to drive people crazy.

In other words, why do many people have completely different spirits when they are popular and when they are not? ?

Red can nourish people in all aspects.

For this reason, going back to what I just said, most celebrities can't help but pick their skin.

And more celebrities must maintain their strong personality after becoming popular, so they will not easily help others match them. They must exchange [personality], [money], and [awards] in exchange.

Therefore, Situ Hui and Li Jing have already discussed it from the beginning, that is, as long as Lin Xing is willing to play "The Golden Guard", then they can even customize the leading role for Lin Xing.

They are the three Jinyiwei brothers [Duan Gang], [Zheng Xiaohai], and [Cui Jian]. If Lin Xing doesn't like playing Duan Gang, it doesn't matter.

Whichever one of the other two he wants to play, they will add scenes to that one.

Anyway, Lin Xing’s role must be guaranteed.

But Nima Linxing wants to play Qi Wei? ?

This is a bit embarrassing.

How can the villain add drama? ?

And add the male lead? ? ?

It's not that it can't be added, but if this is the case, then the character Qi Wei may need to be comprehensively sorted out.

We even had to add a love scene to him.

Situ Hui persuaded Lin Xing tactfully: "Axing, why don't you choose one of the three brothers? That way we can add more scenes. Qi Wei is not difficult to add, but he is a villain after all. If he adds If I get to be the first boy, I think it would be too difficult..."

Li Jing didn't say anything. He actually meant the same thing, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

When he was filming, there were so many female supporting actors that there were too many female leads.

Just like when many directors are in love with female artists, or when they want to flatter their girlfriends, they will go crazy and add scenes.

Anyway, there is no difference between then and now.

This world is like this, how can there be absolute fairness? ? ?

The other students also didn't say anything. They were not qualified to say anything.

But Lin Xing was a little surprised: "Sister Hui, why do you want to add drama??"

"ah???"

Situ Hui was also a little surprised: "Axing, what do you mean???"

Lin Xing looked at Situ Hui, and he looked at Li Jing in a daze.

Misunderstood.

Lin Xing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Sister Hui, Mr. Li, as I said before, you can just treat me as a student. I came here with a learning attitude, and your short film has always been based on Xie Long's , Meng Fei, and Zhang Ming prepared it, I think the three of them are also very suitable..."

Needless to say, Xie Long, Meng Fei and Zhang Ming are actually Li Jing's disciples. Both of them have certain skills. This time they came to [Jingwu Hall] mainly to learn literary opera.

That's right.

The acting skills of the two are actually not that interesting.

In other words, most action actors' dramas may not be interesting at all.

In fact, Xie Long, Meng Fei, and Zhang Ming were all a little nervous in the conference room. Compared to others, the three of them had already known that they would play the leading role.

But now everything depends on Lin Xing.

Which one Lin Xing chooses will be replaced.

The three of them really have nothing to resent. How many times have they been rejected in this circle? ?

What's more, whether this short film has Lin Xing or not, it's two different things.

Among the three, Xie Long is the most nervous. After all, if Lin Xing is not there, he will play the male lead Duan Gang.

Now if Lin Xing plays Duan Gang, Li Jing also told him yesterday, then he should only be able to play other roles.

As for Meng Fei and Zhang Ming, it was the same. Neither of them expected that Lin Xing would not play the leading role.

Playing a villain? ?

And there’s no drama? ?

Not only that, Lin Xing directly said that Xie Long, Meng Fei, and Zhang Ming are actually quite suitable.

He just wanted to play a villain, or in Lin Xing's view, Qi Wei was not considered a villain because the character was not a facial expression.

Of course, this is the first time Lin Xing has seen the script, so we still need to read it again to see what exactly this character is like.

But at least for now, Lin Xing hopes that Situ Hui and Li Jing will not think too much.

"I think this script is very good. You can shoot whatever you want next. I will definitely cooperate with you..."

Lin Xing finally said.

Situ Hui suddenly realized that she even felt that she understood why Lin Xing chose this villain.

The reason is simple, if you don't choose the male lead, you don't need to be responsible for the drama.

The same goes for short films.

In this case, let's stick to the original plan.

"Then the shooting will start in three days..."

Li Jing said nothing more. He just asked Lin Xing, "Axing, do you have time here?"

"It's fine on my end."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said: "But I may not be able to come to [Jingwutang] tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow is the launch conference of Yang Tian's new drama. I will go and support her..."

"Ah? Yang Tian still dares to invite you??"

Situ Hui blurted out after hearing this.
