Chapter 70 Preparing for Recording
The original version of Jiuzhadao's "Those Years" tells the youth of the 1980s from the Taiwan Strait. If the plot is kept intact and put on the big screen, it would be a bit unearthy.
Moreover, Chen Lin was born in 1988. If he really wrote about his youth, he would be a little too precocious.
Therefore, as early as 2005 when the novel "Those Years" was published, Chen Lin had already changed the plot a lot.
For example, the Taiwan Strait described in the 1980s was replaced by a capital city two thousand years later.
For example, the original book describes his father with a generous personality and never wears clothes at home. Chen Lin's writing turns into an old cannon and rarely stays at home.
For example, the scene where the two called during an earthquake was replaced by the last call between the two before Shen Jiayi went abroad.
When writing the movie script, Chen Lin deliberately changed the timeline from 2000 in the novel to 2002, because this is the right way to write the earthquake incident in 2008.
Only by being more fascinating in the movie!
After the trailer was released, it quickly heated up among the original fans.
Chen Lin's influence at this moment is like the position of Han Shao in the hearts of the people after filming "Riding the Wind and Waves".
Not only is it well written, but it is also well photographed!
The most intuitive manifestation is that Chen Lin’s Weibo fans are infinitely close to the 30 million mark!
This was in 2011, how many people in the entire entertainment industry had a fan base comparable to Chen Lin?
Moreover, Chen Lin never uses advertisements on Weibo. Apart from his own movies, he rarely helps people forward any news releases or something.
Chen Lin pays great attention to interactions with fans, and updates his daily status every day. He does not deliberately make jokes, but the words he wrote accidentally are jokes themselves!
Basically, every time you post a Weibo post, you can get nearly 60,000 to 70,000 discussions.
In a virtuous cycle, Chen Lin's Weibo has remained highly concerned, and almost every speech can be on the hot search on Weibo.
In addition to having a little more fans than ordinary directors, Chen Lin's personality is very suitable for someone who is behind the scenes.
Rarely expose yourself.
Many media that follow Chen Lin can only look for news from his Weibo.
A few days ago, the box office of "33 Days of Love Break" exceeded 450 million to celebrate. The main creators were very happy, but it was obvious that Chen Lin and Erectile Dynasties were a bit inconsistent, and the two had almost no active communication throughout the whole process.
In the era of self-media, one or two photos were exposed online, and sharp-eyed netizens immediately discovered the secret.
Then, there was a lot of controversy on the Internet, and the hype between the heralds and Chen Lin.
As a result, many media became interested and wanted to explore the "real thoughts" in it.
Unfortunately, Light gave a direct answer. Chen Lin is currently filming the movie and is not convenient for interviews.
Heraldry accepted several interviews generously, but he is a star, and what a star is best at is disguise.
The emblem showed respect for Chen Lin throughout the whole process, and called on Chen Lin to hope to cooperate again!
The media following Chen Lin’s Weibo found that Chen Lin did not respond at all. The messages posted in the past few days were all interesting stories filmed by the crew.
On May 4, 2011, the trailer of "Those Years" was officially launched.
Although there was only 2 minutes to open the film, and even the heroine Shen Jiayi did not appear. Only Ke Kondo, Fatty, and Liao Gaibian showed their faces, but these were enough!
Ke Kondo's image has appeared on the screen.
Many netizens left messages on major forums.
"It's exactly in line with the facts, it's really our era!"
"I'll go, this guy is pretty handsome!"
"Chen Lin is really amazing!"
If you like it endlessly, it is like the level of surprise that domestic netizens were surprised when the promotional video of "The Promise" was released!
Some people also noticed the song "Those Years"
"There is no fancy or magnificence, nor is it deliberately sensational, but the lyrics of the audience allow all those who listen to the memories to the green years that can laugh loudly and can be radiant. The singing of the singer Xue Zhiqian is calm and stubborn, and there is helplessness hidden in the passion. The listening, there is a faint sorrow, showing the taste of youth. Putting the purity of youth to infinitely great allows us to experience the faint sorrow in ecstasy, and also allows us to find the only hope in the sluggishness. Even if the cruel reality suppresses everyone, it can never destroy our remembrance of the past of youth and the nostalgia of that youth."
"Music Appreciation" gave this song a high evaluation.
At first I thought the song was sung by Chen Lin, but after listening to it, I realized that it was sung by Xue Zhiqian.
Then they saw that Xue Zhiqian, who had been angry for a long time, also participated in the movie, so Lao Xue became popular.
Huang Xuan's attention has soared, and has occupied the top spot in the most popular male actors on the search list for several consecutive days.
Many media have spontaneously ranked "The Girl We Chased Together" in the top three most anticipated movies of the year.
Of course, it is not all good. Many well-known and veteran film critics directly criticized this thing for being unartistic, saying that a director like Chen Lin would ruin the movie!
Regardless of good or bad news, the purpose of publicity has been achieved anyway.
The original fans know that the movie will definitely be released, and the passers-by also probably learned the news.
However, the news that the heralds and the sunset are incompatible gradually settled down. This is the news. New topics will always overshadow old topics!
In the afternoon, the crew of "Those Years" and the actors, behind the scenes, including some workers, dramas and other people all sat in a classroom.
Because it is time for our teacher Chen Lin to give lectures again - the recording of "The Departure".
In the last issue of "The Fall of HK Movie", when Chen Lin talked about this issue, he did not have any personal selfishness at all, and analyzed it from the public perspective.
Of course, the dissatisfaction in some places must be revealed in the words, but overall it is fair and just.
The response online was very good, especially in response to Chen Lin’s initial rebuttal and self-defense about whether he was biased against Guangdong actors.
Many netizens left messages below "The Departure" to express their support for Chen Lin's view.
"This is probably the difference in background. Most Guangdong actors have not received systematic training and have not experienced regular sound training, so it is normal for poor lines to have poor lines!"
"Yes, it's not like our mainland, which has the training of major professional colleges and the training of stage plays!"
"In fact, the older generation of Guangdong actors still have good lines, such as Li Liqun, Jin Shijie, Liang Jiahui, etc."
Some people also disdain Chen Lin's point of view. Their reason is, "Chen Lin's point of view is too biased. China is so big, there are too many dialects, and it's enough to have acting skills. Why do you need to stop the voice on the spot? It's just the dubbing in the later stage!"
Of course, most of the people who watch "The Departure" have IQ online, and there are few brainless fans, or they will be criticized to death in this episode!
These people don’t know at all that the film industry around the world is filled with voices. Except for our country, some actors’ lines cannot be listened to at all, so actors with poor line skills gradually withdraw from the market, such as Lam Lin.
Chapter completed!
