On the surface, Lin Xiaoguang is doing his own job as a director, but in fact, he is still a popular student in China.

After finishing the preparation of the movie, Lin Xiaoguang's itinerary after returning to the capital this time was still full, in addition to taking two advertisements, he and Li Xiaoran secretly went back to Guanggu's hometown to get a marriage certificate, followed by more than ten magazines, interviews and other announcements.

On Chinese New Year's Eve for more than a year, Lin Xiaoguang and Li Xiaoran spent time in Vancouver, and Li's father and Li's mother also took this opportunity to see their granddaughter and met with Lin Xiaoguang's parents.

I have to admit that blood relationship is really a very delicate thing, because of the maintenance of the bond of the little baby Lin Jinyu, the two groups of people who were originally not related to each other have become a happy family, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.

This time, Lin Xiaoguang's trip back to Beijing was full, and in addition to participating in the Huayi annual meeting, he also returned to Vancouver after more than ten magazines, interviews and other announcements.

At night.

Li Xiaoran sat on a comfortable recliner and held her chin and watched "Roman Holiday" with great interest, the images of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck after more than half a century of baptism still cannot be erased by time, and they are still so classic.

The cover type introduction clearly says that it is a light comedy love story, and the encounter in just 24 hours has achieved an eternal love, but at the end of the story, Princess Anne decisively abandoned love because of her national responsibility, which made Li Xiaoran a little sad every time she saw this.

It is heartbreaking and regrettable to love each other deeply but not be able to stay together.

Lin Xiaoguang would come to Li Xiaoran's side every time at this time, no matter what he was doing, he would hold Li Xiaoran in his arms, and he knew that she would be sad.

"Wife, every time I see it, I feel bad, why do I have to watch it again?" Lin Xiaoguang sat beside Li Xiaoran and kissed her forehead.

"Don't you think handsome men and beautiful women are very eye-catching?"

"If that's the reason, then you can look in the mirror and look at me again, we're also eye-catching. ”

"Narcissism. Li Xiaoran raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaoguang.

"No, it's self-confidence. Lin Xiaoguang corrected Li Xiaoran.

"Husband, I want to watch it every time I am free, because regretful love is always unforgettable, so I feel sorry for them, and then think about us, I will feel lucky and happy. ”

"Yes, nine times out of ten, life is not as expected. "Lin Xiaoguang is so lucky to have a gentle wife and a lovely daughter.

Li Xiaoran smiled and pursed his lips to ask Lin Xiaoguang for a kiss, Lin Xiaoguang would never refuse, not only would he not refuse, but he would also intensify it like glue, Li Xiaoran, who kissed directly, gasped again and again, in fact, Li Xiaoran was also addicted to such games.

To be honest, Lin Xiaoguang enjoys this kind of ordinary life of his wife and children on the hot kang.

However, because the movie was about to start after the year, Lin Xiaoguang only stayed in Vancouver until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in order to borrow the school's venue before the students started school, and he accompanied his father-in-law and mother-in-law to return to China first.

The story of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" takes place in Changhua County, Mosswan, when she was an innocent student.

In fact, as early as 2005, when Nine Knives came back from Shen Jiayi's wedding, he had the idea of making "Those Years" into a movie.

Later, the autobiography "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was completed, and a Hong Kong director did come to the door, and he was also the favorite candidate for Nine Knives.

However, due to the extraordinary affection of Nine Knives for this work, the other party was discouraged by "childishly" insisting that its price must be higher than the four "Killer Series" sold to Wong Kar-wai and Zeng Zhiwei's "Killer Ouyang Bonsai".

A year later, Nine Knives tried to shoot the first short film "Three Voices of Happiness", which was released as a third of the film "Love to the End".

That experience not only satisfied the vanity of Nine Knives as a director, but also made him understand what filming is all about.

At the beginning of 2007, Nine Knives had even started the film version of "Those Years", but Nine Knives never found money, actors, photographers, and production companies.

Throughout 2007, Nine Knives saved money while writing books, and slowly formed a new team.

It's brand new, because except for an assistant director who is in graduate school, from the executive director, the camera team to the production company, the experience in film is like a blank slate.

It was for this reason that in September 2007, one of the largest investors decided that it was "too risky" and temporarily announced its withdrawal.

This is the opportunity for Lin Xiaoguang to break out of the encirclement and buy the film copyright of "Those Years" from the hands of nine knives.

Early March.

The entrance of a private house near Jingcheng Middle School.

Before the movie started, the staff was preparing props, and Lin Xiaoguang and the film screenwriter and consultant, who was a lot shorter than him, were smoking cigarettes against the wall, and the two of them chatted about each sentence.

Lin Xiaoguang spat out the smoke ring and asked with interest: "Nine knives, I haven't figured it out until now, since you have always wanted to make this movie, why are you willing to give me the copyright of the movie?"

Nine knives thought about it, raised his head, looked at Lin Xiaoguang and said: "Because there are many people who don't like me, no matter how good the movie is, they will feel that they don't like the things of nine knives." ”

However, Nine Swords didn't think so in their hearts.

Just as in the book "Those Years", there is a passage where the teacher stands on the stage to hand out the report card, Ke Jingteng nervously waits for the results to be announced, because under the supervision of Shen Jiayi, he has been secretly trying to review for a while.

But when the teacher later praised him for his progress, "I've been working hard lately!" The boy pretended to be disdainful and said, "No, I'm a genius!"

And the same is true of the nine knives in reality, he often claims to Lin Xiaoguang that he is "Jay Chou in Taiwan's publishing industry", he will not admit that the reason why he sold "Those Years" to Lin Xiaoguang is mainly because Lin Xiaoguang has a lot of money and has a big company like Huayi as the backing.

Moreover, if it is not prepared, the nine knives are afraid that this one will be smashed in their own hands.

You must know that in the hands of nine knives, the budget of "Those Years" at the beginning was only less than 2 million yuan, but Lin Xiaoguang was generous and willing to spend 1.5 million yuan to buy his film and television adaptation copyright, which can also be seen Lin Xiaoguang's love for this one.

Nine knives laughed at himself: "If I were to shoot "Those Years", it might be a bad movie!"

Lin Xiaoguang smiled and quipped: "Then you are not afraid, I will also make it a bad movie?"

Nine knives nodded: "Don't lie to you, to be honest, I was also afraid at first, I knew that you were very popular in the mainland, and there are many of your fans here in Moss, so I'm afraid that you will fall into a kind of idol myth and call on fans to watch movies, in fact, the box office will be less than you imagined, very, very much, I have too many examples to cited, but it is completely inconvenient to cite them." ”

Lin Xiaoguang smiled: "Then why did you change your mind later?"

Nine knives said calmly: "Because I watched your "People in Embarrassment" on the Internet, I found that you are not only a star, but also a funny director, and there is another very important point, that is, the heroine you chose Cheng Yanxi is super positive, super in line with my aesthetics." ”

When he said the last sentence, Jiudao smiled and made a look at Lin Xiaoguang very mischievously.

Everything is ready, and the movie "Those Years" is officially launched.

In order to have a good fortune, Lin Xiaoguang deliberately arranged the first scene of the movie at the home of the actor Ke Jingteng.

"Okay, let's go!" After confirming it, Lin Xiaoguang shouted.

I saw that the first picture at the beginning of the camera was an apple on top of a lady's velvet glove, which was the introduction of the whole movie, and the apple that was ripe but not fully ripe was a metaphor for the heroine Shen Jiayi, which also echoed the plot later, that is, "you are the apple of my eye".

Then the camera pans to the right and comes to a graffiti book that flips in the wind, with all kinds of rhetoric on it, but the most crucial sentence is "Everything that happens in life has its meaning!"

Don't think that this is also a casual word, this sentence was deliberately added when Lin Xiaoguang and Nine Knives communicated in private, echoing what the heroine said in the later plot "There are many things in life that are in vain".

In other words, Lin Xiaoguang finished watching "Those Years" There are a lot of experiences, he very much agrees with what Nine Knives said in the book, maybe we will do a lot of futile things in this life, but these things will have the meaning of their existence, doing and not doing are two different things, futile work does not mean meaningless, just like the love between the hero and the heroine, Ke Jingteng has made so many efforts, especially those efforts, in exchange for Shen Jiayi marrying a man eight years older than him, which can be said to be in vain, but who can say that the things he did are meaningless?

Because of Ke Jingteng's own efforts, those days when he studied hard just to get closer to Shen Jiayi, his grades improved, and more importantly, he found the meaning of his life, or he found a goal, so how happy and happy he was during that time!

According to the nine knives' own words, it is "you at that time, shining!"

Immediately afterwards, the camera jumped, and a student uniform full of ink spots appeared in front of the camera, this uniform naturally needless to say, this is the bridge between the male protagonist Ke Jingteng and the heroine Shen Jiayi's initial communication, and the ink spots on the uniform are the best confirmation of their lifelong bond.

It can be said that the shot set by Lin Xiaoguang is meaningful, and the audience can only experience it when they see the end of the movie.

Subsequently, the actor Jing Boran finally appeared, clumsy tie, serious shoe shine, careful comparison in the mirror, it can be seen from the degree of serious dressing that what he wants to participate in for a while must be a very solemn and solemn occasion, and choosing formal clothes to appear on important occasions is not only a respect and attention to the other party, but also something that a mature man must learn, because he is mature and can no longer do what he wants.

After a while, the two friends and actors who played the male protagonist Ke Jingteng came over to urge him, and the "Do you want the bride to wait for you alone?" made people think, is the male protagonist going to get married? Seeing Jing Boran picking up the apple with a confident smile and nibbling it, there is indeed a feeling of "I am the most proud today".

"Okay! It's over!" Lin Xiaoguang was very satisfied with Jing Boran's performance in this scene.

Although Jing Boran is a draft singer, in Lin Xiaoguang's opinion, he has no jerky feeling in front of the camera at all, and he is naturally suitable for the big screen.

According to Lin Xiaoguang's original plan, after filming the first few scenes at Ke Jingteng's house, many scenes will continue to be filmed at Nine Knives' alma mater, Private Jingcheng Middle School.

On the third day of coming to Mosbei, Lin Xiaoguang took all the crew members of "Those Years" to settle in Jingcheng Middle School and returned to the "original starting point".

Ps. I didn't change it yesterday, and I owe 27 chapters again!
