Chapter 201: Psychological Pressure

PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Zhan Ping Bingling"!!

Later, during the filming of the show, He Jiong clung to Lin Zhimo, but Lin Zhimo either played tricks or shirked and dodged, which provoked He Jiong to kill him after the show was recorded.

"Black Sesame, how are you preparing for the movie you're going to make?" After the group had enough, the two walked together because of the relationship between Zhou Xun and Lin Zhimo.

"Filming will officially start in a few days, how about you are interested in making a cameo?" Lin Zhimo has not played many roles in the "hero" crew, and the completion is only a few days, and the shooting of the new movie is about to be put on the agenda.

"I'd like to make a cameo, but unfortunately I don't have the time." Zhou Xun sighed, and then asked, "By the way, I don't know who the heroine of your play is?" ”

Lin Zhimo smiled: "It's Gong Li." ”

"Gong Li?!" Zhou Xun suddenly stopped, kept looking Lin Zhimo up and down, and said: "Okay, you, you actually unknowingly abducted a senior like Gong Li into the crew, to be honest, did you two fall in love because of misfortune?" ”

Lin Zhimo couldn't help but think of the madness of him and Gong Li that night, and felt a little weak in his heart, stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhou Xun's head and said: "What is 'love due to misfortune', Sister Li was able to watch this script completely because she saw the potential of this film, you know?" ”

Zhou Xun pushed Lin Zhimo's hand away dissatisfiedly: "Hey, don't touch my head, okay, is it amazing to be tall?" ”

Lin Zhimo is 1.8 meters tall, and Zhou Xun is only a little more than 1.6 meters even if he wears high heels. Compared with Lin Zhimo's sturdy and burly figure, he is like a primary school student.

Lin Zhimo laughed: "Don't be discouraged by Zhou Xun, you are still young and still have the potential for development." ”

Zhou Xun ignored Lin Zhimo's ridicule and asked curiously, "Tell me what kind of drama this is?" She was really curious about what kind of story would attract Gong Li to join the crew of Lin Zhimo, a rookie director.

Lin Zhimo didn't hide it, and roughly told the story.

Zhou Xun was slightly silent after hearing this, especially when she heard that there was so much domestic violence in the country, and at the same time, she also thought of the personal experiences that several of her female friends told her.

There are many such situations in the entertainment industry, and because of their special status, these public stars are even more ashamed to talk about this kind of thing, and often choose to swallow their anger. Silently endure the bullying from the other half.

"Zhimo. You must shoot this drama well. Zhou Xun said in a serious voice.

"Huh?" Lin Zhimo was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why Zhou Xun's attitude suddenly became like this, but he still nodded and agreed: "If you don't say it, I understand, my first film must not be messed up." ”

"Nope. It's not all. Zhou Xun shook his head slightly: "As you said." It's about more than just art. It also reflects a real phenomenon in society, if you don't shoot this film well, it will even make those perpetrators of domestic violence even worse. ”

Lin Zhimo smiled and said, "It's not as serious as you say, right?" ”

"Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I really hope you make this movie well. It's not easy for women in society nowadays. Zhou Xun looked at Lin Zhimo sincerely and said.

Lin Zhimo was suddenly touched when he saw Zhou Xun's dark and round eyes, and said firmly: "Okay, I promise you, I will do my best to shoot this film well!" ”

Zhou Xun smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Bye, I wish you a big box office hit." ”

"Okay, thank you for your blessings." Lin Zhimo couldn't help but fall into deep thought as he watched Zhou Xun leave.

When he chose to shoot this film, to be honest, he also had some sympathy for the injured women in his heart, and he also thought that through this film, he could arouse the public's attention to the victims of domestic violence, but more importantly, he planned to make this film out of a utilitarian heart.

Lin Zhimo is a very planned person, he has his own steps in everything he does, and each step has its own purpose. It can be said that from the day he stepped into the entertainment industry, he had a very complete plan for his life.

He knew very well from the beginning that it would take much longer to become a top star by acting than to become a top star by singing, because there are so few actors like Leonardo who can become a top star in the world by relying on a movie, so small that it is negligible compared to the number of all actors in the world.

There are more singers who rely on songs to become famous, and with the help of the king gene, Lin Zhimo can write some classic songs relatively easily, so after getting the king gene, Lin Zhimo immediately formulated his future development plan, that is, walking on two feet - singing and acting.

As it turned out, Lin Zhimo was right.

With the unnatural ratings of "Huanzhu Gege", Lin Zhimo's album sales became the newcomer king of the year, and he became a star who can be compared with Xiaoyanzi Zhao Wei in terms of comprehensive strength, and his popularity is much higher than that of Lin Xinru and Su Youpeng in the same crew.

Later, Lin Zhimo's development trajectory also proved that his plan was very successful - relying on the song "often go home to see" of the Spring Festival Gala entered Zhang Yimou's eyes, and then when he participated in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it is said that he also had something to do with Zhang Yimou's recommendation, so it opened up his popularity among top domestic directors.

It is precisely by relying on the music albums and these movies over the years that Lin Zhimo's fame has grown wildly all the time, and now he has become a leader among the new generation of domestic actors.

And now this "don't talk to strangers" is the same, Lin Zhimo is not a whim, he also has his own considerations.

What is the fastest way for a non-literate director to quickly open up his popularity?

There are only two answers: to fight big and to win awards.

Fighting big with small, as the name suggests, is to rely on a lower cost to get the maximum box office. This situation is difficult to achieve in China, whether it is the current situation of piracy or the box office sharing model, it is almost impossible to complete this article, so Lin Zhimo first gave up this article.

Although it is also difficult to win a prize, it is still easier than the previous one. Although almost all of the famous awards in China are monopolized by large state-owned film studios, whether it is to block everyone's mouth or to save face, there will always be one or two films that stand out from the many internal films every year.

In fact, there is another possibility for the development of the option of winning awards, and that is international awards!

Domestic awards are set by some big companies, but the shady scenes of international awards are relatively few, although foreigners are still very discriminatory against Chinese films, but they are still cleaner than the blatant shady scenes in China.

Therefore, as long as the quality of the film itself is acceptable, it can be said that it is relatively easy to quickly open up a director's popularity through the way of winning awards.

If you want to win the award, then it is decided that Lin Zhimo's first film cannot be a commercial film, it can only be this kind of literary film.

That's why Lin Zhimo's first movie chose such a sensitive genre, because he was very utilitarian from the very beginning to win the award, of course, occasionally he imagined in his heart that this movie might be a big hit.

But now when he heard Zhou Xun's words, Lin Zhimo's heart was suddenly touched, and he also felt a heavy pressure.

As a director, the pressure is actually very high, and you need to consider the cost, sponsors, and cast before shooting; During the shooting, you need to consider the budget and consider the shooting schedule; After filming, you need to consider the box office and the audience's recognition; After the screening, it is not over, and it is also necessary to take into account word-of-mouth, taking into account the awards.

It can be said that the psychological pressure on the director of every movie is very great, but now, after hearing Zhou Xun's words, Lin Zhimo has locked a shackle called "morality" in his heart, and this kind of mental pressure makes him feel even more depressed.

Although he has unparalleled confidence in his script and the acting skills of the actors, the original plan to focus on the director from now on has inevitably faded. (To be continued......)
