Vanity Fair in the entertainment industry, in this realm where Zhao Si can be a fan, Lin Xiaoguang did not look for flowers and willows everywhere, and he can already be regarded as a double of virtue and art.

However, for filmmakers like Lin Xiaoguang, the quality of the work always comes first.

Therefore, every time he selects actors for a movie, Lin Xiaoguang always starts from the movie itself to find an actor who is suitable for a certain role, rather than choosing an actor first and then picking a role.

If you really choose the actors first and then the roles, then you really put the cart before the horse.

Obviously, Lin Xiaoguang did not change his original intention of making the movie "Dear" because he wanted to spark love with Dong Liya.

November 15th.

The conference room of a hotel near the light and shadow company was temporarily changed as the launch of the movie "Dear".

After 9 o'clock in the morning, no less than 10 media outlets had already come to the scene, and the number of reporters reached 30 or 40.

Most of them sit in the second row of seats, the first row for the top of the "Dear" investors.

At this time, in the lounge at the back of the hotel conference room, all the main creators of "Dear" are here.

Lin Xiaoguang first chatted with Huang Changtian and other investor bigwigs, and then explained the precautions for the press conference to the staff of the crew.

……

10 o'clock.

Under the announcement of the host, the launch conference of the movie "Dear" officially began.

"Now we have the main creators of our "Dear" crew on stage, everyone is welcome. ”

"Papapa" applause rang out.

Lin Xiaoguang took the main creators of the entire crew of "Dear" to the stage, took the microphone handed over by the host, and said with a smile: "Thank you media friends for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the launch conference of "Dear", everyone has worked hard. ”

After some introductions, the press conference began to enter the question and answer session.

"Director Lin, can we ask a few questions now?"

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and nodded: "Say it." ”

"Director Lin, I'm Xiao Lin, a reporter from Youku Video, I want to ask Director Li, why did you think of making a movie adapted from a realistic theme?"

"First of all, thank you, Ms. Xiaolin, for your question. Lin Xiaoguang paused, and then said: "Actually, I personally have always preferred stories with emotions, rather than choosing a single genre, just like the previous "Hawthorn Tree", "Those Years" and so on. "Dear" is undoubtedly in the same vein, but it is based on the real "abduction" incident, and the style is more realistic. ”

"Director Lin, hello, I'm Zhang Jun from Entertainment Star Weekly, I want to ask Director Lin, what are your expectations for this drama, such as the box office. ”

Lin Xiaoguang said with a smile: "The box office, naturally, the higher the better, after all, as a director, you can only keep filming with the support of the market." ”

When a reporter mentioned how he felt about the rapid expansion of the mainland film market and the emergence of newcomers in recent years, Lin Xiaoguang also said: "Now is the platinum age of Chinese films, and for me, with the support of the market environment, I hope that I can also be like Woody Allen, quietly make my favorite movies until I am 80 years old." ”

In addition, Lin Xiaoguang, who has never shied away from "commercial calculations", also said in a low-key manner: "I know, now everyone thinks that I am a film director with a box office exceeding one billion."

"So everyone will ask me for the title of 1 billion director, hoping that I will achieve higher results at the box office. ”

"But I want to say that that's already in the past, and now the movie we are going to make is a relatively unpopular movie theme, and it may indeed be inferior to "Thai Embarrassment" at the box office. ”

"But I believe that as long as it's a good movie, you can still make money, because, for me, making movies without losing money is the bottom line. ”

"If one day, I can't make any money making films, then I should quit the circle. ”

Subsequently, Huang Bo, Taohong, Hao Lei and others also accepted interviews with reporters one after another, expressing their thoughts and expectations for this movie.

However, not every journalist is so friendly.

In the middle of this, there was a reporter who was not long-sighted and interviewed Hao Lei, deliberately mentioning Hao Lei's two marriages, which made Hao Lei a little unable to get off the stage.

"Miss Hao Lei, hello, I am a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News, I want to ask, has your current marriage made you sum up some experience?"

After listening to the reporter's question, Hao Lei's face changed instantly, and she said angrily: "Where are the rules to be found in marriage, they all come from the inner feelings of the two, if you don't go deep into his heart, you don't know how to continue this relationship." ”

"And people's personalities are completely different, so whatever life gives, you just have to accept it. ”

Although Hao Lei's answer was a little emotional, it was only enough and she didn't get mad, but the reporter was unrelenting and wanted to expose Hao Lei's scars in public.

Seeing this, Lin Xiaoguang immediately gave the host a look, signaled the other party to shut up the reporter, and asked some reporters who had a good relationship with them to ask questions, the host was from the propaganda department of the light and shadow company, Lin Xiaoguang gave a hint from his eyes, and he understood.

"Okay, I would like to ask the next journalist friend a question. ”

It doesn't matter if you put away the reporter's microphone, Lin Xiaoguang himself took the microphone and warned the reporters in public: "I hope you will cooperate with the work of our actors and don't ask questions unrelated to the movie, thank you." ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaoguang loved herself so much, Hao Lei didn't speak, but just glanced at Xiaoguang silently.

On the first day of "Dear", the image of the heroine Tao Hong in the film shocked the entire crew, she sacrificed her image and transformed into a rural mother who has gone through vicissitudes of life and "gains and losses".

"I'm from the earth, and I have the scent of the earth. ”

Tao Hong said incredulously: "Xiaoguang, when the shape was first made, I couldn't recognize myself, I was very down-to-earth."

And Huang Bo, who is the male number one, also vividly expressed his first feeling when he saw the "village mother" version of Tao Hong: "Sister Tao Hong is the goddess in my heart, and she fell to the ground with a click, but throwing it in the village can be regarded as a village flower, it is really unseemly." ”

However, then again, jokes are jokes, the actors who join the "Dear" drama are all powerful actors, and unlike those stars, every actor has put in hard work and effort to interpret their roles in the film.

For example, in the film, in a scene where the parents beat Tao Hong, Tao Hong seriously "sought the truth" from other group actors for the sake of the shooting effect.

Seeing Tao Hong lying on the ground and being "beaten" by the group performers, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't stand it anymore, but he also respected her own choice, and just told the group performers as much as possible to let them take a leisurely step and not be heavy-handed.

And Huang Bo can be called the actor who suffers the most among all the crew members, and the first scene in the group is to carry the child to run wildly in the mountains at the head of the village.

After running for three days with a child weighing nearly 50 pounds, the "slimming effect" of this high-energy father has been particularly obvious.

As for the shot of jumping from the bridge, Huang Bo refused to use a stand-in, and went into battle in person.

In order to ensure that the performance of sinking to the bottom of the water is realistic and natural, Huang Bo soaked in the water for six or seven hours until he had a rash all over his body.

Because of this cooperation, Lin Xiaoguang finally understood why so many big directors in the circle like to find Huang Bo to film.
