The straight man in the entertainment circle

The documentary, which lasted for more than an hour, contained dark and cruel stories of bullying. Some of the videos were taken by the bullies. Some of the victims were stripped naked and splashed with feces. Some of the victims were beaten until their faces were covered in blood and they desperately begged for mercy.

The whole process is very depressing, making people hate it and feel helpless.

After the documentary was played, all three of Ji Yi shed tears.

Lin Li said to Ji Yi and the others: "After watching the documentary, I want to ask you, which one do you think is more cruel than the plot in our movie or the documentary?"

Ji Yi and the others thought about it and said, "It's more cruel in the documentary."

The stories in the documentary are all real, almost gory.

Although the bullying scenes in the movie will make people very angry, in order to pass the review, the real dark places must not be too cruel. Even if there are, they are only scratching the surface. Compared with documentaries, It's just a small fight.

Lin Lida said: "Then do you think bullies are hateful?"

"Of course it's hateful."

"Okay, then do you think the bully you played looks like a real bully?" Lin Li asked calmly.

Jiyi and the other three were silent. The things they did in the movie may have been abominable, but the scenes they actually filmed didn't have so many cruel scenes.

If they had been gentle in the only scenes of bullying, the film would have been much lighter on the audience.

They suddenly understood why Lin Li brought them to his home to watch this documentary.

Lin Li just wanted to let them feel how hateful a real bully is. In comparison, the ones they played were not so cruel.

On the one hand, this allows them to feel less burdened when performing those excessive scenes. On the other hand, it also allows them to learn what a real bully looks like, which is also very helpful for their performances.

Knowing that Lin Li used this method to help him, Ji Yi, Ren Shixiu and Ye Lin were all grateful.

After Lin Li saw that the three people's emotions gradually stabilized, he said: "Our movie is just hoping that this kind of school bullying will be noticed by the public so that this kind of thing will never happen again, so we need to make this movie well. "

Ji Yi and others nodded.

"The task of the three of you is to shape your characters well. Except for Ren Shixiu, I don't want to see any sympathy for the bullied in your eyes."

The role played by Ren Shixiu in this movie is a bit special. She is not bad in nature, but she is afraid of being bullied by Wei Lai so she chooses to join them and become a part of the bullies.

Therefore, the character Im Shixiu occasionally shows sympathetic looks when treating the heroine, but the characters of Ji Yi and Ye Lin do not at all.

Ji Yi nodded and said, "Director Lin, I understand. I will play this role well and will not let you down. I also hope that after this movie is released, everyone will pay attention to school bullying. Therefore, we will work hard to perform well."

Ye Lin and Ren Shixiu also said: "We are too."

Obviously, Ji Yi and others understand that this movie is meant to trigger public reflection, and it is impossible not to show some of the darkness of bullying.

As actors, what they can do is play their roles well, rather than being benevolent and affecting the filming during filming.

Lin Li was very pleased to see that they finally understood. He invited them to have a simple meal at home and didn't keep them anymore.

After Ji Yi and others left, Lin Li looked at the time and couldn't help but send a message to Chen Qingqing, asking her how the results of the hospital examination were.

It didn't take long for Chen Qingqing to reply: "Senior Brother Lin is so worried about me, why don't you come to the hotel to visit me."

Lin Li felt relieved when she heard that she was in a hotel, not a hospital.

"It's okay. We'll continue filming tomorrow."

Chen Qingqing sent a message after a while: "Brother Lin, are you worried about me today?"

Lin Li's face became a little hot when he was asked, and he replied: "I will be worried about whoever plays your scene."

"It's different. I can tell. Tell me, do you like me a little bit?"

Lin Li looked at Chen Qingqing's message back and was stunned for a long time.

Is my worry about Chen Qingqing really different in the morning?

Lin Li was indeed a little panicked at the time, which was something that rarely happened in his short career.

Do you really like Chen Qingqing?

Lin Li shook his head. He had never thought about finding a girlfriend, and he didn't think he would like Chen Qingqing.

After turning off the chat with Chen Qingqing, Lin Li turned on the TV and started watching, trying to divert his attention.

After changing TV stations one after another, Lin Li finally settled on Mango Channel.

At this time, Mango Channel was broadcasting entertainment news.

"Leng Ying's seventh album has been released for two weeks, and its sales have exceeded 700,000. I believe it is certain that this album will break one million. In this case, Leng Ying's number of albums that have exceeded one million sales will reach 6, and Zhou Lingling is even." said the male TV anchor.

"Yes, Leng Ying's momentum in the music industry is unmatched by anyone now. I think we can call her the little diva." said the female anchor.

"I also agree. Leng Ying has been called the little queen for many years. If the influence in the music circle is not as bad as before, Leng Ying's current popularity and strength in the music circle would have been called a queen. , but just now you said that Leng Ying is unmatched in the music industry, I have a slightly different opinion."

"Oh, what do you think?"

"I think there are still people who can catch up with Leng Ying, or at least be on par."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Lin Li."

"Hey, you're talking about Lin Li, aren't we discussing the Queen of Heaven..."

"Oh...that's okay! Let's watch the next news."

"Well, the next piece of entertainment news is that today the movie "Extinction" has released its scheduled trailer. The movie is scheduled to be released on July 15th."

At this time, the TV screen was showing the trailer for the movie "Extinction". Lin Li had seen one of their trailers before, and it was like a car accident scene.

"Yes, we know that "Extinction" is the first domestic CG film made by director Guo Xiaoshan with an investment of 400 million two years ago. It was the most expensive film in China that year. The post-production alone took a year to produce. "

"It is said that the special effects team has carefully polished and modified it countless times just to show the best effect. I think we can look forward to it..."

When Lin Li heard this, he sneered. Mango TV and Guo Xiaoshan had a good relationship, so it was expected that they didn't say anything bad about his movies.

But looking at Guo Xiaoshan's trailer, it was carefully polished and revised countless times. It must be so bad that even they themselves can't stand it.

The first few trailers for "Extinction" came out, and they were already criticized by netizens, so this time, their scheduled trailer is much smarter. There are almost no scenes from the real movie, it's all about the actors. with his face captured by the camera at the scene.

Lin Li thought to himself that the best CG technology in the entire film was only the clips in the trailer, and the main film was not that bad.

The two months of summer are the domestic film protection months in China.

In other words, there will be no foreign blockbusters released. This is simply the best time for a director like Guo Xiaoshan who relies on his student fan base to support the box office.

There are no foreign blockbusters rushing to schedule, and there are countless students who have time and spare money during the holidays to go to theaters and contribute to the box office. Therefore, Guo Xiaoshan's movies have always been scheduled to be released in the summer.

Lin Li thought about it and called Jiang Da.

"Damn it, Director Lin, why are you calling me when you have time?"

"Hey, let me ask you, have you not applied for the scheduled release of our movie?" Lin Li asked.

"What are you applying for? Haven't you finished filming? You usually apply after filming. You have to leave a few months for post-production. Otherwise, if you apply in advance, if something goes wrong during the filming, it won't be a plane!"

Lin Lidao: "Our movie is scheduled to be released on July 15th. You go find someone to apply for registration."

Jiang Da was stunned and said: "Gregorian calendar?"

"Nonsense! What we are filming is not a ghost movie."

Jiang Da laughed and said: "July 15th in the Gregorian calendar is only 3 months away. You still have to shoot for one month. After 2 months... there won't be enough time... Don't make it too late..."

"Don't worry, I'll make it in time. I'll try to finish the filming within half a month!"

"Damn it, the filming will be finished in half a month? You are so fast. You are indeed a fast man!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm serious. You go through the application process over there. By the time you finish, I'll almost finish filming."

"Okay, but..." Jiang Da hesitated.

"but what?"

"It's okay, I'm waiting to watch your movie."

Jiang Da originally wanted to say that Lin Li should not ruin the quality of the movie by rushing so fast, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Jiang Da felt that he should trust Lin Li at all times and should not be reminded of this.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Li sorted it out and found that about one-third of the footage for his movie had been shot. If the shooting was to be completed within half a month, the progress would have to be accelerated.

Fortunately, the movie I am shooting this time is a simple feature film. I don’t need to fly the whole crew to all over the country or even the world, nor do I need to build very complicated scenes. There is nothing to be produced in the post-production, so it is easy to catch up on the schedule. .

It’s nothing more than all the staff working overtime.

If it weren't for the high requirements for filming quality, a pure plot movie of more than an hour would have been shot in a few days. Back then, Hong Kong was known as one movie a week.

Even so, there were some very good movies produced by Xiangjiang back then, so what did I have to be afraid of?

Lin Li took advantage of the opportunity and checked his Weibo.

It’s been a while since I took a good look at Weibo. Lin Li’s Weibo followers at this time also reached 40 million without realizing it.

Lin Li has 40 million fans in less than a year, which has already broken the Weibo record.

Lin Li has become the person with the largest number of fans in one year since Weibo was founded more than ten years ago!

Of course, this is just an increase. For people like Xu Zhe who are close to the ceiling, there is almost no need to think about it.

The person who had the largest increase in the past year was the star Sun Cheng. Sun Cheng is a third-tier actor. Three years ago, he and Meng Weier filmed a movie "Love You" which became an overnight sensation. During the broadcast of this drama, his followers increased. Ten million, an increase of 32 million fans in that year, which is also very terrifying.

Meng Weier became famous in this drama, but since she made her debut as a child star, her growth rate is obviously only that much.

And the record set by Lin Li is at least 10 million away from Sun Cheng, which is simply terrifying!

However, Lin Li has discovered that after reaching 35 million fans, the number of fans increased significantly slower.

I won the leading role of Zhang Dasong in "The Big Show", and later released songs such as "Really Love You" and "Little Dimples", but the number of fans has not increased as fast as before.

To put it bluntly, with so many fans, there may be thousands or tens of thousands of people unfollowing me every day.

Without a breakthrough point, it is already difficult to increase the number of fans.

Lin Li looked at his reputation. The increase in reputation was normal, it was already over 1.05 billion.

After that, Lin Li called Yin Shiguang and some editing staff and asked them to start editing the previously shot film materials.

Moreover, Lin Li announced that in the future, the scenes shot on the scene will also be edited on the spot.

With the monitoring system, the editor connects the camera, monitor and on-site editing computer through data cables.

When each shot is shot, the editable material, including sound, appears on the on-set editor's editing timeline in almost real time.

The post-production time can be reduced, but the on-site shooting time may be delayed.

But overall, it can still speed up the shooting progress.

After shooting in this way, the post-production cycle can be greatly shortened.

Lin Li naturally stole this method of shooting and editing from Zhang Dasong.

After everyone discussed it some more, Lin Li left them to have dinner at his home before everyone dispersed.

Lin Li suddenly felt envious as he watched them come and go freely.

Unless I disguise myself, it is no longer convenient for me to go out.

Not to mention Lin Li, Chen Qingqing, Ji Yi and others also knew many people in Su City, so they had to be wrapped up tightly when going out.

In the evening, after school, Wu Ruobing knocked on the door with a schoolbag on her back.

Seeing Lin Li opening the door, Wu Ruobing smiled and said, "You're back so early today? I saw the light in your room was on, so I guessed you were at home. Why are you back so early today?"

"I just filmed one scene today and took a rest."

Wu Ruobing asked: "What's wrong?"

Lin Li said: "It's nothing. It's just that we haven't rested for a long time. Let's give everyone a holiday...Why are you carrying a schoolbag? Why did you come to me before going back?"

Wu Ruobing blushed a little and said, "I...I was...looking for you to ask a question!"

After Wu Ruobing found an excuse, she walked in confidently, put down her schoolbag, took out the book and placed it on Lin Li's table.

"Tell your mother, don't let them worry about you." Lin Li said.

Wu Ruobing snorted and said, "You are the only one who is sensible!"

After speaking, he obediently sent a voice message to his mother.

Taking out his textbook, Wu Ruobing wondered: "Lin Li, where did the questions you gave me come from? How many of them are so strange?"

"Oh? Which questions? Let me take a look."

Wu Ruobing took out the test questions that Lin Li had written for her before, pointed at a few of them, and said, "This, this... this, and this!"

Lin Li had the answers to these questions in his mind. After taking a glance, he found that the solutions Wu Ruobing used to solve these questions were formulas that were not found in this world.

It should be brought by the system from another world.

"Don't worry about these questions. You don't have to do them." Lin Li said.

Wu Ruobing frowned and said, "Lin Li, can you do it? You don't even know the questions you gave me?"

"It's too hard for you, forget it."

Lin Li made a joke and successfully took away Wu Ruobing's attraction.

Wu Ruobing spat at Lin Li, and finally couldn't help but said: "But the other questions you gave me are really good. There are two questions I can't do, so I asked the teacher, and they all said the questions were good, and I got them in class said."

Lin Li said proudly: "Oh, you don't even know who I am!"

Wu Ruobing rolled her eyes at Lin Li: "Of course I know, you are the most shameless person in the world!"
