Chapter 220: Interview
PS: Thank you for the valuable monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Ugly Plastic Surgery"!!
Regarding the question of Lin Zhimo's memory, in fact, some viewers already knew about it when they participated in the "Super Interview" before, but Lin Zhimo's fame was not particularly big at that time, so although there were people who knew about it, there were not many people.
Now the reporter of Time Magazine offered to make a demonstration, and Lin Zhimo couldn't ask for it, so he seemed very cooperative; And Lin Zhimo's calm appearance is a sign of self-confidence in Catherine's opinion, and only fearlessness in the heart can have this kind of performance.
However, although the suspicion of Lin Zhimo in my heart has decreased, the test still has to be done, otherwise there will be no information to write when it is reported.
"It just so happens that I have a deck of playing cards in my hand." Catherine took out a deck of playing cards from her coat pocket and said with a smile: "This is a casual installation when playing games in the morning, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now." ”
Lin Zhimo smiled and asked, "Is it for me to memorize the order of the playing cards?" ”
"Yes," Catherine nodded, "is that okay?" ”
Lin Zhimo shrugged: "If you have two decks of playing cards, you can mix them up." ”
Catherine's eyes lit up, and her gaze at Lin Zhimo was not a little more curious. Lin Zhimo is very different from the other celebrities she comes into contact with, and the other celebrities are always more or less nervous and restrained after hearing that Catherine is a reporter for Time magazine, or they are just vaguely selling themselves their outstanding abilities in some way.
But Lin Zhimo is different from them, Catherine can feel it. Although Lin Zhimo's words sounded a little arrogant, he didn't show off anything to himself, he was just admitting a fact. It's like a person saying that they eat soy milk fritters in the morning, which is very plain and natural.
"That's a shame, otherwise I would have been able to see the surprise that Mr. Lin brought us." Catherine was noncommittal to Lin Zhimo's words, and continued: "But now let's appreciate how Mr. Lin memorizes these cards. ”
Lin Zhimo stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said, "Listen to your convenience." ”
So Catherine shuffled the playing cards in her hand again, and then showed the cards to Lin Zhimo one by one, and after showing all the fifty-four cards, Catherine looked at Lin Zhimo with anticipation.
Lin Zhimo didn't even think about it. "The first card is the four of hearts." The second ten of spades, the third king of diamonds, and the fourth ......"
Lin Zhimo spoke neither fast nor slow, as if he usually spoke. But Catherine's gaze on the other side gradually brightened as Lin Zhimo said the names of the playing cards one by one.
In fact, she was already prepared in her heart, and Lin Zhimo could tell the order of the playing cards. But that's just thinking in the heart. After all, it's not really seen, and now that she really sees Lin Zhimo's memory so amazing, how can she not be surprised?
It's not just her. Even the reporter who was in charge of recording and taking pictures behind couldn't hide the shock on his face, and couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to Lin Zhimo after Lin Zhimo finished talking about all the decks of playing cards.
Catherine sighed again and again: "It's amazing, it's amazing!" I didn't expect you to have such an excellent memory, Lin Zhimo. In my heart, I thought that it seemed that what Lin Zhimo said about knowing a few foreign languages should not be fake.
After enjoying Lin Zhimo's wonderful memory display, Catherine continued the interview: "Mr. Lin Zhimo, we all know that before you really became an actor, you were just a martial arts stand-in, so do you really know martial arts?" ”
Lin Zhimo nodded: "My martial arts foundation has been laid since I was a child, and I learned the family boxing method. ”
"Oh, then why are these roles you play basically not famous by martial arts, are you deliberately avoiding the restriction of being a star?"
Lin Zhimo's Er Kang played in the two "Huanzhu Gege" can be regarded as a character with both civil and military skills, but in the play, it reflects more of the love entanglement between several leading actors, and does not focus too much on the fighting aspects of martial arts; Not to mention the next "My Father and Mother", Lin Zhimo doesn't even have a love object, let alone any plays; "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a martial arts TV series, but Lin Zhimo does not reflect the skills that a martial arts thief should have, and it is more of a wrestling technique of ethnic minorities; In the recently award-winning "Don't Talk to Strangers", Lin Zhimo still plays a role that has nothing to do with martial arts - a doctor.
"Did you deliberately avoid falling into a star-studded box when choosing roles?" Catherine asked.
"No, no, I don't have a particular opinion on this, in fact, when Zhang Yimou's "Hero" is released this year, you will find out that I play a martial arts master in it." If Lin Zhimo did not avoid this choice of roles when he first debuted, then by the time "Huanzhu Gege" became popular through half the sky, Lin Zhimo was already paying attention to the direction of his choice of roles.
Whether it is Bruce Lee, the kung fu superstar who developed Chinese martial arts to Hollywood, or Cheng Long, the representative of today's kung fu films, or Li Lianjie, who is known for his hard-core martial arts style one after another, or Zhen Zidan, who is gradually becoming famous, or Arnold and Stallone in the United States, etc., it is difficult for everyone who is defined as a successful husband superstar to transform, and can only follow the path of martial arts roles to the dark.
Lin Zhimo doesn't think that if he is really defined as a martial arts superstar, he can transform into a character actor, so it is absolutely essential to take precautions in advance, so when he was selecting films in the future, Lin Zhimo had already intentionally or unintentionally avoided roles related to martial arts.
But as he just said, when it comes to Lin Zhimo's current fame, there is no need to consider whether the role he plays is a "bottle" who can only fight and has no acting skills, because Lin Zhimo's acting skills have been recognized by everyone.
"So will you star in some kung fu movies in the future?" Catherine asked.
"Of course, why not?" Lin Zhimo asked rhetorically.
"Is it possible for you to direct it yourself?" Catherine asked, rolling her eyes.
"Haha. I don't dare to pack a ticket for this, I will definitely direct it if I have the chance. Lin Zhimo's heart is very big, and he wants to try anything he can do.
After asking this question, Catherine changed the subject and asked, "Why did you suddenly choose to be a director, with your current grades, there is still a lot of room for growth as an actor?" ”
"You're talking about winning the prize, haha. Indeed, for me, I didn't win the Best Actor Award, whether it was the Golden Rooster Award or the Golden Statue Golden Horse Award, but I think that as an actor, you don't just need the proof of the actor trophy to show that you have the strength of the actor. Lin Zhimo explained first, and then replied: "The reason why I chose to be a director is also because I have a desire to try new things in my heart, and I want to challenge my limits to see if I can do well in the director industry." ”
"It turns out that you succeeded. Isn't it? Catherine complimented.
"Haha. I don't dare to say that I have succeeded, at least I have passed the report card. Lin Zhimo was not modest about this.
"Then you started your own company out of a desire to challenge?" Catherine asked suddenly.
"yes, yes." Lin Zhimo didn't expect Catherine to ask such a question, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "There are many reasons for starting a company. On the one hand, I naturally want to challenge myself. On the other hand, it is out of a certain vanity. ”
Lin Zhimo blinked and said, "After all, my business card can now be written with the identity of 'President of the Entertainment Company'." Doesn't that look magnificent? ”
Catherine chuckled, nodded and said, "Yes, the title of Mr. Lin is indeed more imposing than other titles. Looking at Lin Zhimo's cheerful smile, Catherine's curiosity about Lin Zhimo became more and more vigorous - young, rich, humorous, and talented. After only being exposed to kung fu for such a short time, Catherine felt that she was almost about to fall into Lin Zhimo's whirlpool.
So Catherine asked, "Mr. Lin, are you still single now?" ”
Lin Zhimo glanced at Catherine in surprise: "Does Time Magazine also ask this kind of gossip question?" ”
Catherine asked rhetorically, "Why can't Time ask this kind of question?" ”
Lin Zhimo was stumped by Catherine's rhetorical question, and after a pause, he said, "I thought you would only care about our movies and other latest developments." ”
Catherine persistently asked, "You haven't answered yet, do you have a girlfriend?" ”
"No, no." Lin Zhimo shook his head decisively and said, "You have also seen that I want to act and sing, and now I am a director, where do I have time to fall in love?" ”
Lin Zhimo said this, but he couldn't help but think of Lin Xinru and Zhang Ziyi in his heart, because of the relationship between filming and work, now the contact between him and the two of them is becoming less and less, and he has not been in contact with Zhang Ziyi for nearly three days. He didn't know what they thought, but Lin Zhimo had begun to slowly feel the feeling of being involuntary as a person in the entertainment industry.
The relationship between them has not weakened, and even because there has been no contact for a long time, there will be a sense of surprise that Xiao Bie is newlywed after making contact suddenly, and the feelings are getting stronger and stronger, but it is delusional to want to eat and watch movies together like other ordinary lovers, especially now that Lin Zhimo is all focused on his career, Lin Zhimo can't find time to spend alone with the two of them.
Catherine naturally didn't know that her words would cause Lin Zhimo to have so many thoughts, and when she heard Lin Zhimo answer that she didn't have a girlfriend, her first reaction was that Lin Zhimo was lying, but after all, she was a reporter from Time Magazine, not a reporter from those gossip tabloids, so she no longer asked Lin Zhimo whether he had a girlfriend or not, but changed the topic and said: "Then Lin Zhimo, do you have any hobbies on weekdays, what sports do you like?" ”
"Hobbies, my biggest hobby is reading." Lin Zhimo now has a special house in his home that is used to place books and newspapers, and the more he reads, the more Lin Zhimo feels that he knows less, although he has such a perverted memory, but reading books does not mean that being able to recite is equivalent to understanding.
The meaning of a book is self-evident when it is read a hundred times, and the book is meant to be read, not memorized.
"And what kind of sports do you like?" Catherine went on to ask, "Football, basketball or table tennis?" ”
"I like football a little more, and if I have time, I will ......also go to watch this year's World Cup," Lin Zhimo said this, a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, and he couldn't help but stop talking.
"Lin Zhimo? Lin Zhimo, are you listening? Seeing Lin Zhimo's sudden distraction, Catherine couldn't help but shake her hand in front of Lin Zhimo's eyes.
"Ahh Sorry sorry, something suddenly came to mind. Lin Zhimo came back to his senses, and there were still thoughts in his mind.
"It's nothing, do you like football, it's a gratifying event for Chinese football to enter the World Cup this year." Catherine obviously has a lot of interest in Chinese football, and she is no stranger to this topic.
"Yes, yes, this year's World Cup will be more exciting with the Chinese team." Lin Zhimo naturally doesn't know what the results of Chinese football will be in the summer, but there should be no problem in qualifying from the group, probably no problem...... (To be continued......)
