Full-level Director

Chapter 20 Interview (Part 2)

"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 confused by the question, and after thinking about it, he said, "I didn't actually know about the box office before I came here. The purchasing manager of Chenguang told me yesterday that the box office was almost one million. You just told me you broke three million."

"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 you, and you couldn't breathe under the pressure."

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

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 movie 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."

"The scariest thing in life is that I don't have any sense of expectation. During that time, I lived very peacefully, and I became more aware of my inner thoughts. It was a bit settled. I like making movies, and this is what I can look forward to. " Lin Juan said seriously.

Huang Jing couldn't help applauding. The results of this conversation were beyond expectations. Originally, she didn't have much expectations for this interview task, but now she feels that this interview is likely to be popular.

"It's wonderful." Huang Jing said in admiration.

Lin Juan smiled modestly, and waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing.

Afterwards, the interview continued. Huang Jing asked about her grandfather's health, what is her psychological expectation for the box office, and what kind of new film will be, etc. The atmosphere gradually relaxed. I will definitely become a successful director, thank you again for coming to our "Movie Today" as a guest, and look forward to your new film."

"Thanks."
