It's different from being tired on the set. On the set, you're physically tired, but this time you're mentally tired.
He really doesn't like this kind of scene.
He missed the days when he could study movies quietly by himself every day.
"Bang bang."
There was a knock on the door. Lin Juan looked at the direction of the door, then stood up and walked over to look at the door.
"Director, are you okay with disturbing me? Do you want something to drink?" Peng Yan had a smile on his face, and he deliberately looked in the direction of the room as he spoke. At first glance, he was teasing him and Han Xiaoxue. As he spoke, he raised the
A bag of canned beer was shaken, about eight or nine cans in size, and the other hand was holding some takeout boxes.
Lin Jian doesn't like drinking very much.
But this time we can make an exception.
"Come in." Lin Juan said with a smile, and turned back to the lobby. The hotel arranged by the theater for them would definitely not be too bad.
"Close the door."
Peng Yan shrugged his shoulders and closed the door with his feet.
"Director Lin, Han Xiaoxue is not in the room," Peng Yan said jokingly as he walked.
"I think so." Lin Juan said angrily.
They are all men, and Peng Yan is not unaware of his feelings for Han Xiaoxue, so he has nothing to pretend about.
Peng Yan smiled and dismissed the topic. He was not the kind of person to gossip.
After sitting down, he put the food and wine on the table and said, "Director Lin, I actually quite admire you."
"What do you admire about me?"
"Your experience, learning to direct by yourself, and then making a movie by yourself and releasing it, is not easy just thinking about it."
"Bang."
With a slight muffled sound, Peng Yan opened a can of beer and handed it to Lin Juan.
Lin Juan took it with a smile and said at the same time: "The circumstances are different. I admire you even more. You get a certificate for every movie you make."
"It's nothing to me. It's just hard work. You have technical skills and talent." Peng Yan smiled and disagreed.
"You win on this alone. Besides, you don't have any talent." Lin Juan shook his head.
Peng Yan looked at Lin Juan, smiled and changed the subject: "Come here, Director Lin, I respect you and thank you for giving me this role and this opportunity."
Lin Juan smiled, touched him, and said, "You have thanked me many times."
"No amount of times is enough."
After Peng Yan finished speaking, the two looked at each other, smiled, and took a sip together.
All in silence.
Drinking must be accompanied by food and wine. Peng Yan brought some barbecues. Seeing these barbecues, Lin Juan remembered that they should be in Qingdao now.
"Director Lin, I have a question that I am particularly curious about."
While eating the food, Peng Yan couldn't help but ask Lin Juan, this was also the reason why he came to Lin Juan.
"What's the problem?"
"Director Lin, you...are not planning to make a simple series of movies, right?" Peng Yan looked at Lin Juan carefully and asked.
Lin Juan had a smile on his face and asked with interest, "Why do you ask that?"
"I always feel something is wrong. If it's just a series, you don't have to wait two or three years before making a second one. And if you ask me to make a guest appearance next year, that means the character Chen Feng will appear in another independent film." Peng
Yan analyzed it carefully, looking at Lin Juan from time to time while talking.
"So I think, Director Lin, what you are planning is not a separate series."
After saying that, Peng Yan looked at Lin Juan and waited for the answer.
Lin Juan smiled and nodded under his gaze: "Yes."
He just admitted it, and Peng Yan was shocked.
It's actually true...
How much courage and ambition do you have to dare to say that you want to build a superhero movie universe from scratch by yourself?
Everyone can talk a lot, but when it comes to action, it’s an investment of at least tens of billions!
Now that the first one has been successful, and depending on the situation, he still plans to combine these superheroes and make them into one movie.
This is a crazy thing. Currently, the two world-famous movie universes, DM and Myth series, are separate series of movies. It’s not like they haven’t made movies that are forcibly paired together, but they have all failed.
This involves many issues, such as the different personalities of each hero and the conflicting abilities. No matter which one is weakened, the series will be affected.
Then there are plot arrangements, actor schedules, remuneration, etc.
The problems are not as common as usual.
How dare he do it!
Peng Yan looked at Lin Jian and didn't know what to say.
And no one knows how many superheroes Lin Juan has built in his mind.
"What, are you scared?" Lin Juan looked at him funny and asked.
"Well, a little bit." Peng Yan nodded honestly, then said with a deeper smile: "But I'm more excited!"
It is indeed exciting. Who wouldn’t be excited to be an actor?
"Captain China" has already reached this level of momentum. Peng Yan thought it was the peak, but now Lin Juan told him that it was just the beginning.
The huge sense of anticipation made him want to escort Lin Juan to the set.
Shoot it for me!
But I can only think about it...
Lin Juan is the boss.
"That's good. You should stay in good shape in the past few years, and especially don't make any negative news. Your role is very important." Lin Juan said with a smile but seriously.
Peng Yan nodded seriously and suddenly recalled what Lin Juan said to him at that time: "Cherish this role."
Only now did he really understand the weight of this sentence.
"Don't worry, Director Lin." Peng Yan said solemnly again.
"Yeah." Lin Juan nodded with a smile. He actually wanted to give some assurance or something, but held back.
Forget it, results are always more convincing than words.
He is not a person who talks too much, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult to find a publisher.
"So what kind of superhero will Director Lin direct in your next movie?"
"He..." Lin Juan smiled and said meaningfully: "He was the superhero of my childhood."
"That's also the person I want to be."
"Who is that?"
"..."
After that discussion, time flashed to mid-to-late October, and there were more and more positive reviews on the Internet, but at the same time, the negative reviews never stopped.
There have been a large number of one-star reviews and negative reviews on Douban and other places. More and more voices are saying that this movie is not good. It is not that anyone planned it, but this result has made some people feel unbalanced.
, people who originally thought it was not good-looking but were not prepared to say anything came out, causing the film's reputation to be polarized.
Those who like it regard it as nectar, and those who dislike it regard it as arsenic.
Very normal.
Lin Juan was quite calm during this storm. While running his schedule, he returned to the hotel in the evening and slowly wrote the script for the second movie. The popularity outside was getting higher and higher, and Lin Juan was gradually getting rid of the label of "new director".
, to become a truly recognized director.
While gaining a lot of loyal fans, I also like to gain a lot of negative fans.
emmmm……
To be honest, Lin Juan found it quite interesting.
It would be too monotonous if all praise was given in life, and it would be easy to lose oneself.
And it’s actually quite interesting to see some people complaining like crazy about themselves until they’re so angry that they’re half-dead.
Speaking of which, Lin Juan actually has a bit of a bad taste.
