Chapter 229 People must learn to encourage themselves
"Director Lin, welcome to be a guest on "Movie Today" again. This is the third time, right?"
In the dim recording studio, only a small area on the stage was lit by an orange light. The setting looked like it was in a coffee shop. Lin Juan was sitting on a coffee-brown single sofa, nestled inside.
, very comfortable, and there is a steaming cup of coffee on the transparent coffee table in front of me.
It's a very comfortable environment, which is why Lin Juan likes this talk show the most.
The short-haired host Huang Jing sat opposite him, holding a script book in her hand and smiling. She crossed her legs elegantly. Lin Juan, who has a girlfriend, could tell at a glance that those legs were powdered, otherwise she wouldn't be able to
Maybe so smooth...
This is growth...
"Well, it's the third time." Lin Juan nodded to confirm.
"We all know that you rarely attend events. Our entire program team feels very honored to be able to invite you for the third time. Can we take the liberty of asking you what attracted you to come here for the third time?" Huang Jing asked.
While talking, he hinted wildly.
Lin Juan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Because the coffee here is delicious."
"Is it just because of the coffee?" Huang Jing asked in disbelief, and Lin Juan nodded with a smile.
Just kidding, how dare he do it because of anything else? He still has to meet Li Qingyu, and he doesn’t want to admit his mistake for an hour the next time they meet.
"Okay, okay, I thought it was because you liked the atmosphere of our program." Huang Jing also said regretfully, slightly cheating Lin Juan. Lin Juan said funny: "Of course, this is also the reason.
one."
At least during this show, Lin Juan could relax. This was also Huang Jing's hosting skills. The little joke at the beginning also successfully relaxed the atmosphere. Then he got to the point. Huang Jing said with a smile: "I can get your approval.
Now our program team is a bit boastful, but Director Lin, you have come to our program team three times, and your identity has changed greatly every time."
"Well?" Lin Juan frowned and looked at Huang Jing with some confusion. What is his identity?
"Look, when you came here for the first time, the work you brought was "Going Home". At that time, you had just debuted and you were still a new director. The second time you brought the work "The Monkey King"
, at that time you could already be called a new and great director. Now for the third time, your "Watchmen" has topped the box office rankings in domestic film history, and even achieved the third place in world film history. This change
It can be rapid progress." Huang Jing concluded.
Lin Juan smiled dumbly, shook his head and said in disapproval: "Your changes are all due to the box office. In fact, your identity has never changed. You have always been a director."
Huang Jing was a little speechless when she heard the news. Lin Juan was so serious when it first sounded, saying that he was not interested in money. Then she saw this video in the ghost area...
Now she has the same feeling as before, can this director be the same? In any industry, people at the bottom and people at the top of the pyramid are not the same world.
But Lin Juan's appearance makes people feel unobtrusive, because he is very sincere, and you can feel that this is what he really thinks.
"Didn't the changing box office bring you any changes?" Huang Jing asked unwillingly.
"If there are changes, of course there are." Lin Jian replied without thinking. Huang Jing asked: "What changes are they?"
Lin Juan thought for a moment before replying, "Actually, the change is not that big, because the money I made from my first movie was enough to buy a house, and I have no other needs."
Huang Jing: "..."
Can we still chat?
"But the mental changes are pretty big," Lin Juan continued.
"What about?"
"When writing a script, I will start from what I like at the beginning. Later, I will consider whether the fans will like it. Is it inappropriate to write it like this? I start to worry more and slowly become more conservative. At one point, I am stuck.
I can't continue writing." Lin Juan replied.
Huang Jing looked surprised. She obviously didn't expect Lin Juan to be in this area. She said, "I thought you would have an inflated mentality or something, but I didn't expect it to be in this area."
"How could it be inflated?" Lin Juan laughed dumbly and shook his head: "Being liked by movie fans means trust is a responsibility. Just thinking about how to live up to their love and trust already makes you feel a lot of pressure. There is no reason to inflate."
Huang Jing looked at Lin Juan in admiration. This person's thinking is really very different from ordinary people. You can gain something every time you get along and chat with him. There are always some outstanding people in life. They may not look different, but once
Understand and you can feel them shining.
"Then in your daily life, don't you feel happy or proud when you hear praises such as the number one Chinese director and the king of commercial films?"
"There will definitely be happiness. Anyone will be happy when they hear compliments. Sometimes they will also be proud and feel that they are really great." Lin Juan smiled and said with some embarrassment, and then changed the topic: "But these are all occasional.
Use it to cheer yourself up before taking it out to comfort yourself. People must be able to encourage themselves. You will find that those who are often encouraged will hold themselves to higher standards, but they will also calm down, because reason will tell themselves that if you do
It’s not enough, and it’s far from enough.”
"There are actually many excellent directors in China. In recent years, many excellent works have emerged every year. I am just lucky. When the series I like is produced, everyone also likes it. It does not mean that I am really much better than other directors.
, some of the praises are a bit exaggerated to me.”
The studio was very quiet, except for Lin Juan's serious voice, and Huang Jing listened carefully.
Lin Juan took a sip of coffee, thinking that at times like this, purified water would be better at quenching his thirst, and then continued: "Actually, I occasionally look for some critical comments to read."
"Ah?" Huang Jing was surprised, and then asked funnyly: "Why?"
Don't most people avoid criticism? Do you have a masochistic physique?
"I want to see how others criticize me. People can't always stay in their comfort zone. When I read those criticisms that are reasonable, I actually gain a lot, and some of the criticisms are very interesting."
"What about?"
"For example, I saw a comment before. He thought that I was making a hype and it was impossible for one person to make a movie. Another person asked me how I got my grandpa to get under the bed. It made people angry and funny. That was very
Just simple special effects."
"Then did you reply to him?"
"No, it's very troublesome to explain this, and you have to log in before you can speak. I don't remember the Weibo password..."
"Okay." Huang Jing covered her face and smiled, and then sighed: "Yes, you can make better progress by always looking at how others criticize you, but this really requires a strong heart."
Lin Juan smiled and said nothing, and took another sip of coffee. Everyone's personality is different, so his approach is not necessarily correct.
"Then we all know that you are going to start a new drama. What are your expectations for this new drama? What is the positioning?"
