Chapter 222: The Man Has Tears
“…… Can you talk about why you did so many crying scenes in the movie?"
"Because men don't flick when they have tears......"
After thinking for a moment, Li Mo gave his own answer to Luo Xiangfei's question.
This answer is neither his thoughts on Chen Kexin's movies in his previous life, nor the content of the original Chen Kexin's interview, but completely his Li Mo's perception of the movie "Chinese Partner" based on his experience in two lives.
"But? oh...... I understand. "After working for many years, Luo Xiangfei is not a stupid person after all, "You mean, when they cry, it doesn't mean that they don't have the spirit of a man, it's just because they were really sad at that time?"
"Yes, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place!"
Li Mo nodded, quite emotionally touched by the words just now.
In his previous life, Li Mo had been away from home for ten years, and except for the master who brought him into the industry, there were very few people who could sincerely care about him.
Over time, Li Mo also thought that he had forgotten what kind of emotion crying was.
Even at the memorial service for the death of his initiation master, he did not shed a tear.
Because of this, Li Mo was even scolded as an 'ungrateful white-eyed wolf' in the mouths of his fellow disciples and brothers.
Even so, he never explained a word.
It's not because he doesn't care, it's just because he remembers a phrase that his master often said: "Only when you reach the top of the mountain can you be qualified to shed tears." ”
In this way, when his first and last movie in the original time and space won the box office of 19Y and achieved a success that attracted everyone's attention, Li Mo found a place where no one was there and cried.
It is precisely because of this experience in his previous life that Li Mo can say that he truly understands the meaning of "a man who has tears and does not flick, but has not reached the sad place." ”
"Meng Xiaojun ......"
"Holly ......"
"Wang Yang ......"
"In my opinion, all three of them represent only one aspect of the multitude of beings, and only when the three of them are combined are they a complete era of beings. ”
"The three male protagonists in the movie actually face the most vulnerable side of their hearts, which is what I call the 'sad place' that can make men cry......"
Speaking of this, Li Mo smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "In my opinion, there are no people in this world who can really live for themselves. All people, more or less, always live for some other people, for something else. ”
After listening to Li Mo's words, Luo Xiangfei was speechless again.
Since he entered this room today, it seemed particularly easy to run out of words.
On several occasions, when he jotted something down in his interview shorthand notebook and looked up again, he always had the feeling that the person sitting across from him did not seem to be a young man who had only turned 22 this year......
is a person who has lived two lives and has seen through the world......
Shaking his head, Luo Xiangfei threw this unreliable idea in his mind out of the clouds, and turned the topic to other aspects: "Director Li, you are only 22 years old this year, and you have already directed two successful movies, do you have any secrets?"
"The secret. Li Mo touched his chin and said, "Is it a secret to dare to take out your house and mortgage it to the bank?"
"Uh...... Ahem, you're too ......" Luo Xiangfei heard this, so he choked to death, and after thinking for a long time, he finally found an adjective that he thought was appropriate, "You are too sincere." ”
When he finally took a breath, Li Mo blinked his eyes and continued.
"When I first filmed "Love Apartment", the money spent on filming was the money I mortgaged the house to the bank for a loan, and the investment in "Hypnosis Master" came from the profit after the sale of the broadcast rights of "Love Apartment". ”
"Even today's "Chinese Partner", I was able to get the loan after I mortgaged the box office proceeds of "Hypnosis Master" to Fiber Optic Media, and let the crew run smoothly......"
"Maybe in the eyes of others, I have been going very smoothly along the way, but like Brother Zong, or the employees who have accompanied me all the way to the present, they will know that I am not easy at all. ”
"If one of the works goes a little bit wrong, my best outcome is sleeping on the streets. ”
"Director Li, since it's so dangerous, why don't you choose a safer path?" With a puzzled look, Luo Xiangfei spoke again, "Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
"Two years ago, my dream in life was to have a small house of my own, so that I didn't have to go home and squeeze under the same roof with my father after graduation; two years later, I already had a "Hypnosis Master" with a box office of 500 million under my name, and I also had my own company, Molong Media. ”
"As you can see, I'm only twenty-two years old, and even if something goes wrong now, at my age, I'm sure I'll be able to make a comeback. ”
If he has all the skills and experience in his previous life, but still can't succeed here, it can only prove that Li Mo is indeed a 'shame of a traverser'.
Instead of going with the flow, it's better to take a leap.
In fact, Li Mo still had a sentence in his heart that he didn't dare to say: "In this era, it can be said that it is the last chance before the BAT triumvirate enters the entertainment feast, if he doesn't cast a net on all sides at this time and bloom everywhere, the best result in the future is just another Chen Sicheng." ”
Seeing that I couldn't get the first step on this issue, I looked at the time, and before I knew it, this interview had been going on for more than an hour, and it was time to end the topic.
"Director Li, do you have any new plans after you are busy with "Chinese Partner"?"
"If there are no accidents, I should take a break for a while, find a place to relax with my girlfriend, and play for a while......"
"Director Li has a girlfriend?"
"I just said that I'm 22 years old," Li Mo shrugged helplessly, "Isn't it normal for a young man of my age to have a girlfriend?"
Luo Xiangfei's tone was really a bit exaggerated, and Li Mo could only repay it with an innocent face......
Luo Xiangfei patted his head, feeling that he was really nervous a little too many times today.
Li Mo is right, when he was 22 years old, although he failed to complete the feat of 100 people, his girlfriend still dated.
I was still shaken by the aura of the director on Li Mo, and I didn't remember that this guy was just a college graduate.
"So what's next? Do you have any plans to work after the break?"
"At that time, it will probably start to be adapted from Xiong Dun's personal experience of the movie "Get Out, Tumor". ”
"Listening to Director Li's tone, it seems that I can't be sure what the plan is, is it because of the actor's schedule?"
"It's because I don't know if the funds will be available. ”
