full-level director

"Well, then let's go." Lin Juan nodded and said, thinking in his heart, he wondered if there were any vests with many pockets for sale, and sunglasses. The sun is too poisonous this season, and the crew will have to shoot exterior scenes. .

And then... what else?

The car started, and Lin Juan, who was frowning and thinking, drove towards the shopping mall.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Juan showed up in the studio of the CCTV building on time.

At this time, Lin Juan's appearance had changed drastically. He was wearing a bright black slim-fitting suit, which set off his heroic spirit, and his well-groomed hair made him look more energetic.

The taciturn temperament of an otaku is like hanging silk on a slovenly person, but if it is matched with a decent dress, it is called calm.

Lin Juan crossed his legs, put one hand on his lap and the other on the armrest. He sat quietly on the red sofa and listened to the host's opening remarks to the camera. He was calm and moderate.

"I will give you the latest movie information every day. Hello, audience friends, this is "Movie Today", and I am the host Huang Jing." The short-haired hostess smiled at the camera and talked eloquently.

"The guest we invited to "Today's Film" is very special. What makes him so special? This is a grassroots director who rose from the folk. He has never received a professional film school education, but through self-study, he is in his hometown. In my hometown, I shot a horror movie by myself in more than three months."

"This movie is the horror movie "Going Home" that has been popular on the Internet recently. The movie has been released for two days, and the total box office has exceeded 300 million. Today our guest is the director of "Going Home", Lin Juan, a young Director, let us welcome Director Lin."

"Hello host." Lin Juan greeted with a smile and nodded.

This studio is very interesting. It is decorated like a theater. There are curtains and projectors on the stage. It is the style that Lin Juan likes, and there is no audience. It is like a conversation with friends, which makes Lin Juan feel much more at ease.

"Hi Director Lin, may I ask your age?"

"I was born in 23, March [-]th, and I am [-] years old this year." Lin Juan replied.

"That's really young and promising." The hostess with short hair said enviously.

The corners of Lin Juan's mouth twitched, and he bent it slightly as a smile, but didn't speak.

This is so far, compared to the goal, what he is doing now is just the beginning, and there is nothing to be proud of.

With those vast and magnificent movies in the system, he knew his position and what to do in his heart.

Chapter 20 Interview

"Thank you." Lin Juan pursed his lips and said with a smile, without any complacency. It gave the impression that this person was very low-key and calm. He sat there quietly, as if there was nothing outstanding, calm and indifferent.

"You're welcome, I'm telling the truth, not a compliment. What you've done has been spread all over the Internet. How do you feel now? Are you satisfied with the box office? Did you expect it before?" Huang Jing opened her mouth and said Talk non-stop.

"Uh..." Lin Juan was a little dazed by the question, and after thinking about it, he said, "I didn't actually know about the box office before I came here. The manager of Dust Light yesterday told me that the box office was almost 100 million, which is already broken." 300 million or you just told me."

"Don't you understand?" Huang Jing asked in surprise, her eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened, with an unbelievable expression on her face.

"Well, because I was busy with the new movie, I didn't pay much attention to the hairstyle of this "Coming Home"."

"Oh~ Then Director Lin must be the type of workaholic." Huang Jing said firmly.

Lin Juan smiled embarrassedly, and said, "No, I might be rather lazy. When I do one thing, I don't pay attention to other things, and I'm not interested in money."

Huang Jing was still listening carefully in the front, but she was stunned behind, and there were two groans in her throat, obviously a movement of holding back her laughter.

"I'm sorry. By the way, Director Lin, why are you not interested in money? Although I don't advocate worshiping money, money is something that no one can live without." Huang Jing looked at Lin Juan amusedly and waited for his answer.

"I usually spend very little money in my life. The manager of our company forced me to buy this clothes when I came here. I usually wear those one or two hundred clothes, which are pretty good." Lin Juan smiled Said, if he said this before, it might be a little unnatural and a little inferior, but now he has gone through that period, and now looking back, he can be quite calm.

"When the box office of this movie comes out, I should be able to buy a house for my parents. I usually don't go out at home, just write scripts, draw pictures and scenes. If I work, the company will pay for the food and lodging on the set. Money, so I don't have much feeling for money, because it's enough." Lin Juan said his thoughts seriously.

Huang Jing kept looking into Lin Juan's eyes, trying to find out the unnatural or complacent emotions inside, but those eyes were calm and calm, so he had to believe that this was the young man's truest thoughts.

Yes, people are enough...

But she still had a preliminary feeling that she got to know this young director, at least this is a pure him, peaceful and restrained, he understands his heart very well.

So Huang Jing nodded and said with a gentle smile, "I'm starting to believe."

Lin Juan smiled.

"Then how did you decide to teach yourself directing, Director Lin?"

"It's because I have been interested in movies since I was a child."

"Oh~ Then why didn't you go to a professional film school? Beijing Film or something?"

"My family's conditions are not very good, the tuition fees of art colleges are too expensive, and my grades are not good enough to be recruited."

"Well, that's true. Then, Director Lin, under what circumstances did you decide to make "Going Home"?"

"That's when I always had nothing to eat in Hengdian, and once I came home, my mother carefully discussed with me and asked me to go to work." Lin Juan recalled and frowned and said with a smile: "I was very sad at that time. , I think the most frustrating thing in this world is time. When time goes by, maybe when you turn around, you will find that those straight waists in your memory have started to bend, and even speaking is difficult, and you begin to understand You’re not a superhero, you can’t save the world, and you can’t even save yourself.”

"You suddenly realized the responsibility on your shoulders. Those things that you thought were far away came directly to your face, making you breathless."

"You realize you're growing up, you don't have that much time, and you have to do something."

Lin Juan's words were distracted and a little heavy, and Huang Jing felt a little sad when she heard it.

"So I decided to give it a try. After studying by myself for so long, I should give it a try. Then I went back to my hometown and filmed "Going Home"" Lin Juan finished this sentence with a serious expression on his face.

"Yes, I didn't expect Director Lin to have such a deep feeling for life at such a young age." Huang Jing's expression was a little heavy, and she sighed, and then continued to ask:

"It must be very difficult. How did you finish this film alone? Because we ordinary people have a photographer, lighting engineer and so on in our minds."

"I bought a tripod and let it shoot automatically after setting the angle in advance. If you watch the movie carefully, you can see that many of my shots are for long shots. The camera didn't move during the process. I don't have much equipment. I couldn’t shoot several angles at the same time, so I took multiple shots to make up for the monotony of the lens.”

"In order to adjust the lighting properly, I removed all the light bulbs at home, and the only thing that was difficult was the framed lens."

"Well, I've seen that scene, and now those scenes of scenic spots are very popular on the Internet." Huang Jing continued.

"Is it hot?" Lin Juan was dumbfounded, then said with a smile, "I don't know."

"Well, the likes on Douyin and WeChat are all over the screen, and there are millions of likes." Huang Jing nodded.

"As long as the audience likes it." Lin Juan said with a smile.

"It's been so hard, have you ever thought about giving up at a certain moment?"

"No." Lin Juan said without hesitation.

"why?"

"Because I like it, I like to make movies, and I have figured out a lot of things after living with my grandparents in my hometown for a few months."

"whats the matter?"

"We always feel that the future is still very long, but it is not. Life is really short. After living with the elderly for a few months, we will understand that in such a short life, you should do what you want, or wait until later. Just like my grandpa, there is nothing to look forward to in bed."
