Chapter 118: Inside and Outside the Circle
The 11th and 12th Lunar New Year stalls are relatively weak, and there are too many streets. "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", which are a bit interesting, were also released on the same day and fought head-on.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is cold, and it only achieved a box office of 550 million in the first month, compared to the awesome boasting before the release, Zhang Weiping was slapped in the face. Although the key has been postponed for a month, it is sad to see that the trend is also sad to pass the 600 million mark.
What's worse is the failure of the Olympic Games, the bad reviews of the foreign media, and the failure of the North American box office. All this has also become the fuse of the "two breakups".
These days, the news about the failure of "Jinling" to win the Olympics is flying all over the sky. The reporter who swished the tiger asked in passing, and he didn't want Lu Lin to say bluntly that filming is only for entertaining the public, not for awards, which can be regarded as a breaking point of this press conference.
The reporters in the audience have already figured out how to write the manuscript for going back. After interviewing Yingbao, Fat Di, Han Dongjun and others, the press conference was over.
The next day, the headlines on the front page of various media entertainment news were decisively won by the crew of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun".
Penguin Entertainment reported: Chang'e was chosen as a fan, and Director Lu said that it had a fairy spirit!
Whoosh Tiger Entertainment Report: Director Lu doesn't love awards and box office, and bluntly said that he won't rush to the Olympics! I just want to make a film to entertain the public and be a good director for the people!
Xinlang Entertainment: Losing the role of Chang'e, many actresses were bluntly unconvinced. Click in and see that it is the title party, and the so-called unconvinced actresses are all anonymous.
……
January 22 is Chinese New Year's Eve, Longlin Film Company has a holiday as early as the 18th, and also issued a year-end bonus in advance. As the employees in the company and its artists went home one after another, Lu Lin became alone.
As usual, I find time to go to my mother's side every year to have a look, and as usual, I stay in the capital to celebrate the New Year by myself. The only difference is that the house is bigger and the people are more lonely.
Today, he has a three-bedroom apartment near the company and a single-family villa near Jingxi. In addition to the BMW 730 and Toyota Alpha, an Aston Martin was also bought.
He was materially rich and emotionally barren like never before. The three-billion-dollar director is still a single dog, and he has to spend the New Year alone, which is quite sad to think about.
In the past year or so, I have come into contact with a lot of girls, Yingbao, Yaya, Fat Di, and Jing Yan are all good girls. But apart from some concern, he never showed anything.
He is a person who grew up in an environment of single parents and teenagers with "parents alive and orphaned", and he is very, very insecure. Maybe Xing Ye has never been married, which is also the reason!
It's easy to find someone to marry, but it's more difficult to find someone who can trust each other and go on forever, and the entertainment industry is a notoriously high-incidence area for cheating.
Actor Nie Ruan bluntly said in an interview when talking about the issue of actors' cheating: Others dare not say it, I dare to say it. You want to be together for two or three months in filming, fall in love in the play, be together every day, feelings are slowly grown, in fact, it's as simple as that.
Handsome men and beautiful women get along day and night, and it is normal for you and me to have some thoughts in the play. Even when Hu Jun and Liu Ye were filming "Lan Yu", they were extremely frightened in their hearts, for fear that they would not be able to get out of the drama too deeply, so they hurried back to find their wives and girlfriends as soon as they finished work.
When it's true, it's true and false, and it's a thing like feelings, maybe whoever is acting will take it seriously.
Regarding the matter of finding a girlfriend, Lu Lin didn't think about whether to find someone in the circle or outside the circle. If he is willing to go behind the scenes in the future, he doesn't mind finding an actress in the circle. But now, I have to celebrate the New Year alone.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Lu Lin came to a single-family villa in western Beijing and asked the housekeeping staff to clean it. After living in, I read books, played boxing, and listened to music every day, but I was quite comfortable.
During the period, I also went to listen to the sealing performance of Deyun Club, which was full of pits and valleys, and it was hilarious. After they dispersed, they went backstage to chat for a while, and Teacher Yu also invited Lu Linnian to play at his horse farm.
In the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Lin cooked by himself, still four dishes, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, leek eggs and home cool. The dishes are the same as last year, and the people are the same as last year.
Because the business number is turned off, there are not many people who know his private number, so there are not many calls for New Year's greetings.
The first one to call was Yingbao, perhaps because Lu Lin didn't say anything, the relationship between the two did not get closer in 11 years, and even felt a little estranged.
When Lu Lin had not yet made a career, there were still some heart-to-heart words between the two, but as Lu Lin became more and more successful, Yingbao had less communication with Lu Lin. The New Year's greetings are also a few words, revealing some concern.
It was Yaya who called at seven o'clock, she had a more boyish personality, although Lu Lin didn't sign her, and she didn't support her. But being able to play soy sauce in the three blockbusters of "The Return of the Great Sage", "The Alliance of the Gods", and "Houyi Shooting the Sun" in a row has a lot of impact on her popularity and position.
Yaya was very grateful, said a New Year's greeting, and bluntly said that she would come to Lu Lin's house to pay New Year's greetings after the New Year, and cook something delicious for him in person.
Fat Di called at nine o'clock, and as soon as he got through, he said, "Brother Lu Lin, Happy New Year!"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "Fat Di, Happy New Year!"
"What did you eat for the New Year?" asked Fat Di.
Lu Lin reported the name of the dish, and Fat Di was surprised: "Just eat so little, you can order a few more dishes from outside!"
Lu Lin laughed and said, "Why are you calling so much, I can't eat it!"
"Oh, too. Hey, if only you could come here, I can treat you to roast whole lamb, it tastes very good!"
Lu Lin laughed and said, "You girl, let me tell you, you must keep in shape as an artist, and when you come back in the next year, you will find that you are fat, beware of me deducting your salary!"
Fat Di said aggrievedly: "No, it's not easy for people to make some money, because if you grow some meat, you have to deduct money, it's too unscrupulous!"
Lu Lin smiled and stopped laughing. After some more gossip, I hung up the phone.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, thousands of families were reunited, but he was alone. It's like a werewolf on a full moon night, and he always feels like there's a power in his body about to burst out.
Coincidentally, Jing Yan called, and the two had contact a few times, although it was the relationship between a big director and a small actor, although Lu Lin vetoed the audition of the young lady several times.
But people's family backgrounds are there, and there will be no awe of young actors for big directors at all. When I came into contact with Lu Lin, I always had a very equal and peaceful attitude. And I think Lu Lin is very good, and he has always gotten along as friends.
"Happy New Year to Director Lu!"
Lu Lin said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Jingyan beauty!"
"Well, it's really fake, do you think I'm a big beauty?" The young lady went to audition for the role of Chang'e, but she was brushed off, and she was still a little disappointed in her heart.
Lu Lin smiled: "Of course, your appearance is one of the best!"
