Chapter 87: No Drama, Dream Linkage (First Order Required)
Lin Xing has indeed made up his mind.
On the plane, Lin Xing read through the script of "Portrait of a Murderer" again. The more he read, the more he liked the story.
Because of this, Lin Xing was ready to meet the creator of "Portrait of a Murderer" as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital today.
"Sister Dao, I think this script is good."
Lin Xing said to Sister Dao: "It doesn't matter even if there are two male protagonists, because this script is a crime-solving drama. These 20 episodes condensed 15 cases. The most important thing is that each case is very down-to-earth and has its own character. The 'new' and 'odd' aspects of reasoning..."
"Okay, now that you've decided, I'll discuss the details of the signing after meeting with the main creator later. You just need to focus on the script and acting."
Sister Dao said directly.
Half an hour later, Lin Xing met the creators of "Portrait of a Murderer".
"Hello, Teacher Lin, my name is Marvin..."
Marven was shocked when he saw Lin Xing, and then said with a smile on his face: "Let me introduce to you, this is Wang Yi, the chief screenwriter of "Portrait of a Murderer", and this is the chief director Liu Zhou."
"Hello, Mr. Ma, just call me Lin Xing."
Lin Xing also extended his hand, and then said hello to Wang Yi and Liu Zhou.
"Teacher Lin, let's get straight to the point."
Ma Wen looked at Lin Xing's striking face and said with a smile: "We really want to invite you to play the role of Guan Feng. We think you are very suitable for this role."
Lin Xing was also unpretentious: "I actually like this character quite a bit, otherwise I wouldn't come to talk to you guys as soon as I returned to the imperial capital."
"Teacher Lin, it's like this, we can add a love line for you, and then..."
Before Ma Wen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Xing.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Ma, why do you need to add a love line??"
Lin Xing asked with a question mark on his face: "This script is already a two-male protagonist model, and the 20-episode story is mainly about solving crimes. Wouldn't adding a love line at this time ruin the rhythm??"
"ah??"
Marvin also had a question mark on his face: "I thought you wanted a love line."
"Mr. Ma, you misunderstood."
Lin Xing shook his head and laughed: "I don't meet and communicate with you just to add drama. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I know the script better than the screenwriter. I just like the script very much so I want to talk to you. If I have any requirements, Then there is only one.”
Marvin quickly said: "You tell me."
"That's why I hope this script can be filmed as it is."
Lin Xing said seriously: "I don't want the final script to be changed to pieces."
At this point, Lin Xing paused and said: "And the real leading role of this drama should be a woman. I think the women in every unit are the key to this drama, so these actors are the top priority. "
These words made the faces of Ma Wen, Wang Yi, Liu Zhou and others move.
They didn't expect Lin Xing to be able to directly capture the core of the show.
In fact, "Portrait of a Murderer" has always developed cases around women's tragedies, such as nude loans for plastic surgery, bullying on campus, kidnapping cases of rich girls, bank selling cases, etc.
These are the core of the entire play.
Over the past three years, Wang Yi has been perfecting the script. He even consulted with frontline criminal police many times for advice on real cases, and then gradually came up with the current script.
It’s a dual-male protagonist model, but at the same time, the women’s roles have their own merits.
Ma Wen, Wang Yi, and Liu Zhou have all said in many script discussion meetings that in addition to the two male protagonists, the casting of female characters in the play must be based on the role.
Everyone is serious about making this show.
Definitely not suitable.
Even if Marvin hadn't seen Lin Xing being so proactive, they would have thought that they couldn't add an emotional scene to Lin Xing.
After all, acting can't be based on one's temper.
Sometimes there really are trade-offs.
Everyone, whether it's Ma Wen or chief screenwriter Wang Yi, has expectations.
Apart from anything else, Lin Xing’s current traffic and appeal after suddenly becoming famous, even if it is only short-lived, will be a boost for the crew of "Portrait of a Murderer".
What's more important is that they think Lin Xing still has certain acting skills.
How fresh.
The actor's acting skills are not expected, on the contrary, it is a surprise.
But this has been the norm in the industry these years.
Why didn’t many veteran actors really understand it before?
Because some current popular actors do not need to memorize lines, experience life, or even read scripts.
When it's time for the crew to film, it's either "123456789" or there's an assistant in front of you who can read the lines yourself.
If you don’t believe me, look at how many actors act as if they are reading their lines?
Therefore, for the main creators of "Portrait of a Murderer", when they saw that Lin Xing had acting skills and was so proactive, then Lin Xing agreed to participate in the film, they felt that they should give back something in return.
The result really surprised them.
These days, there are still popular actors who don’t want to join the cast? ?
What's more important is that not only did Lin Xing not add scenes, he also hoped that the drama team would not add scenes or change the script randomly.
Marvin smiled and said, "Teacher Lin, you can rest assured that our crew will never disrespect the script in any way. I am fully responsible for this project, I can assure you."
At this point, Ma Wen further explained: "Teacher Lin, in fact, I have known Wang Yi for many years. I have been following this script since it was formed three years ago."
Wang Yi on the side also said: "Yes, Teacher Lin, I let Ma Wen read the script when it was just formed three years ago. At that time, we wanted to make a drama that is both innovative and focused on solving crimes."
At the same time, Liu Zhou also smiled and said: "Everyone in the industry knows me. I never change the script randomly."
Having said this, the only thing left is to sign the contract.
Lin Xing does not need to take care of the contract. The details and specific guarantees of the contract can be directly handed over to Sister Dao to handle.
"Happy cooperation!"
Lin Xing just stood up and shook hands with Ma Wen.
"Happy cooperation."
Ma Wen was in a very good mood.
It's the kind of surprise that you originally thought that the other party only had 5 points, but the other party gave you 8 points.
"Teacher Wang, Director Liu, please give me more advice next."
Lin Xing said to Wang Yi and Liu Zhou in the same polite way.
"Hahaha, I can't say that I need your advice. Let's make progress together."
Liu Zhou seemed very kind.
Wang Yi also said: "Teacher Lin, if you have any questions later, you can communicate with me at any time."
Here, Ma Wen pulled Lin Xing into the WeChat group of [Picture Hunting for the Murderer].
Ma Wen: "Welcome Teacher Lin Xinglin to join."
Wei Fei: "Wow, it's Teacher Lin? Teacher Lin, I'm your fan."
Wang Yi: "Welcome Teacher Lin."
Zhou Wei: "Welcome Teacher Lin."
...
Currently, there are 15 people in the WeChat group of [Picture Hunting for the Murderer], including screenwriters, directors, producers, supervisors, actors, etc., who are mainly responsible for discussions before the start of filming.
But now there are only three actors here, one is Lin Xing, one is Zhou Wei, and one is Wei Fei.
Lin Xing and Zhou Wei are the male protagonists of "Picture Hunting for the Murderer".
As for Wei Fei, she is Liu Zhou's wife, and she mainly came to this drama for a guest appearance.
Lin Xing sent an emoticon pack of Guan Peng on WeChat.
"I'm new here, please take care of me."
As Guan Peng's emoticons were released, Wei Fei immediately sent out a series of emoticons, not only Guan Peng's, but also her own.
What 'I like newcomers like you the most'.
What 'I have the final say here in the future, and you all listen to me.'
And other emoticons.
Completely flooded the screen.
Liu Zhou was a little speechless: "Don't scare Teacher Lin."
Wei Fei replied with a "rolling eyes".
At this time, Lin Xing was still chatting with Liu Zhou and Wang Yi about the script.
"Teacher Lin, my wife is a bit of a social cow, so please bear with me."
Liu Zhou looked at the messages in the group and had a headache, then he said to Lin Xing.
"Director Liu, you are polite, I think Teacher Wei is quite genuine."
Lin Xing said hurriedly.
Liu Zhou waved his hand slightly: "You will know later."
Wang Yi smiled and said: "I think Xiaofei is pretty good. You are an i person, and Xiaofei is an e person. Isn't this a perfect complement?"
Liu Zhou was a little surprised: "Damn, Lao Wang, you even know buzzwords?"
Wang Yi said: "I am a screenwriter, and sometimes I have to look at the trend."
Then Lin Xing chatted with Liu Zhou and Wang Yi for another half an hour, and everyone communicated about the script at any time.
In addition, the filming of this drama will start on November 20th, and Lin Xing will definitely join the crew on the 20th.
After all, Lin Xing is the male lead in this drama, and he will definitely join the crew as soon as the filming starts.
One hour later, the contract was signed.
The contracts are basically the same, which is to determine the responsibilities of both parties, and the details are all implemented in the contract.
"Teacher Lin, we will speed up the preparations for joining the crew. Your schedule after the 20th will be reserved for the crew."
When Ma Wen saw Lin Xing off, he smiled and said, "Although the filming starts on the 20th, you may need to join the crew in advance. Also, you may need to experience the profession of portrait artist first. This is a friend of mine from the Academy of Fine Arts..."
While speaking, Ma Wen handed Lin Xing a business card: "You can go to him to get a brief understanding. He will also serve as a consultant for the crew at that time, so it would be good for you to contact him in advance."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ma."
Lin Xing thanked him after taking the business card.
"This is what I should do. Everything is for the crew."
Ma Wen shook his head slightly and said, "What I have to do is to provide all support for the crew, so if you have any subsequent requirements, Teacher Lin, please feel free to communicate with me."
"Okay."
Lin Xing chatted with Ma Wen for a few more words and then left with Sister Dao.
"This Ma Wen is a man who gets things done."
In the car, Dao Jie said, "And the contract is quite loose. Anyway, this is your first drama as the male lead. There are less than 20 days before you join the crew. Just stay at home and read the script."
Lin Xing said, "Okay."
Two days later.
That is, November 3, Friday, 12 noon.
Lin Xing's Weibo is a bit lively.
Today is the broadcast of the final episode of "Let's Farm" (Part 1), and today is also the broadcast of the episode of "Follow the Stars to Help the Poor" [Dafengshan].
"'Let's Farm' is coming to an end. This is the only variety show I think is down-to-earth."
"I hope that "Let's Farm" can have a second season as soon as possible. In addition, Lin Xing's chef character is really good."
"That's right, I thought Lin Xing could only cook big pot dishes before, but then he cooked more and more meals."
"And when filming Lin Xing's cooking, it was all panoramic. It looked like he was really cooking. Unlike Ren Dayi, he never took full-body shots."
…
"No, don't just watch "Farming", go and watch "Follow the Stars to Alleviate Poverty", Lin Xing also cooks here."
"I just watched it, and it's not just about cooking. Lin Xing seems to know all the students in Dafeng Mountain like the back of his hand."
"Are you kidding? Do you think Lin Xing goes to Dafeng Mountain for charity for three months every year just for fun??"
…
The two programs "Farming" and "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation" were aired at the same time, and Lin Xing promoted both programs on Weibo.
However, "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation" [Dafeng Mountain] has a total of 3 issues.
The first episode starts today, and later on it will focus on poverty alleviation and [Dima]’s donation.
This is the shooting mode of "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation", and the difference between before and after each poverty alleviation point will be filmed.
This is also the highlight of the show.
Just like today's first issue, we photographed the aging of Dafengshan school facilities, outdated teaching equipment, etc.
There is not a single student mirror in the show.
This is Lin Xing's request. He doesn't want to push these children to the front row to suffer misfortune.
Compared with the reluctance of everyone when "Farming" ended, many people were a little surprised by the column "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation", especially Lin Xing's performance in Dafeng Mountain in this issue.
Too ripe.
Lin Xing is very familiar with the students and children of Dafeng Mountain, and this cannot be conveyed in the acting.
"Have you forgotten that Lin Xing went to Dafeng Mountain to record "Exchange Life" when he first debuted, and the director of "Exchange Life" was Feng Gang."
"Damn it, now that I remember it, it was already fifteen years ago."
"That's right. When someone accused Lin Xing of sexual harassment before, fans came out to speak out. Lin Xing has been doing charity work in Dafeng Mountain every year for the past five years."
…
Suddenly everyone felt that it was really strange.
Lin Xing recorded in "Farming" and in Dafeng Mountain in "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation".
Then Feng Gang, the director of "Farming", took the crew of "Swap Life" to Dafeng Mountain to record the show.
It's been fifteen years now.
Not only are netizens discussing it, but "Farming" and "Follow the Stars to Alleviate Poverty" have a dream linkage, which can be regarded as the top trending search.
In this way, more people will pay attention to poverty-stricken areas.
is a good thing.
The most important thing is that this variety show has no sensationalism, no traffic, no show, it really shows the essence to everyone.
Sincerity is the biggest killer.
Lin Xing naturally saw the discussion on the Internet, and he also thought it was a good thing.
After all, poverty alleviation is not something that happens overnight. As long as today is better than yesterday, that is progress.
While the discussion on the two variety shows was in full swing online, Lin Xing received a call from Ding Bai.
