The straight man in the entertainment circle

On the evening of Father's Day, Lin Li posted a video on Weibo.

Inside is a live video of the finalization of the movie "You Are Young". After Lin Li said something on the stage, he began to sing the song "Father".

The sound source of the song is, of course, the studio version.

Soon, Chen Qingqing, Ji Yi, Wu Ruobing and other participating actors also forwarded it and sent their blessings.

Netizens also quickly discovered this Weibo post.

"Wow, you are indeed a fast man. The filming was completed so quickly! Blessings!"

"It's amazing. When will it be released? I want to see it."

"Spread flowers, hope the movie is good."

"I will definitely support Lin Li's first movie!"

"Support Chen Qingqing!"

"So soon, my God, it won't be another bad movie, right?"

"If it were anyone else, I might doubt the quality of the film, but with Lin Li here, I think I can look forward to it."

"Don't have too high expectations. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Anyway, I am keeping a normal mind."

"Wow, there's a surprise in the video!"

"Lin Li actually put a song in it!"

""Father" sounds great, awsl!"

"This song makes me miss my dad in heaven. I cried when I heard it!"

"Oh my god, I sing "Really Love You" on Mother's Day and "Father" on Father's Day. Is Lin Li trying to do all the holiday songs?"

"When will this song "Father" be released on the music website? I want to buy it!"

"Years from now, I may not remember this Father's Day, but I will definitely remember this song!"

…………

Immediately, news about the completion of Lin Li's movie and Lin Li's new song began to spread on the Internet.

Lin Li did not immediately put the new song "Father" on the three major music websites like before, but only let the song exist only in the final video of his movie.

It's very simple, because in this way, people who want to listen to the song can only listen to this video, so that the video content will be spread, and the news of the completion of the film will be received by netizens along with the song.

Many netizens took advantage of the tail end of Father's Day and wanted to post some words about being grateful to their fathers, but firstly, most people don't have the kind of touching writing style, and secondly, it's too disgusting for most people to write.

When these people heard or saw this video of Lin Li's Weibo shared by their friends, they all felt that this song "Father" was so representative of their own voices.

Because there is no other way to release Lin Li’s song, they can only repost Lin Li’s video on Weibo.

In just a few hours, the number of retweets on Lin Li's Weibo exceeded his previous highest number of retweets on Weibo, reaching an astonishing 650,000!

There is no way, young people in China just like to join in the fun, and they don't care whether they are obedient or not, but on Father's Day, they must show their filial piety.

What's more, Lin Li's song "Father" is so touching. Even if there is no Father's Day, it will be praised by countless people. Today is such a perfect occasion, so everyone naturally has to repost it to express their filial piety.

As Lin Li's Weibo video went viral, the news of the completion of Lin Li's "Young You" movie was also known to countless people, and it soon began to be discussed.

There are basically two groups on the Internet. One group thinks that Lin Li is talented and the quality of the film can be guaranteed and will definitely not be bad.

Others felt that Lin Li shot the movie too quickly, and that it would be a bad movie just like other movies where stars make money.

It can be said that this group of netizens have suffered too much from movies where celebrities make money, so even if they know that Lin Li is quite talented, they dare not say that the movies he makes will be good.

Although netizens have different opinions, it has to be said that many passers-by have already learned about this movie because of Lin Li and other actors' Weibo promotions.

It's not just limited to the fans of each actor.

The movie "Better Days" has begun to enter the post-editing stage. Since the film shot on the shooting site has already been rough cut, there are no special effects to be produced in the later stage, so the finished film will be ready very quickly.

Jiang Da called Lin Li the next day and told Lin Li that the movie "Young You" is scheduled for July 15 and has been approved!

Lin Li was very happy and immediately contacted An Xiaoxi to make relevant posters.

Now the Linjianxi Advertising Building has become the production company of Lin Li’s movie posters.

Moreover, the program "I Am an Advertiser" also ended in the past two weeks. Due to the huge advantages accumulated in the early stage, Linjianxi Advertising Building won the final championship and became the best advertising company in this program.

Today, there are more than a dozen first-line brands that have regular cooperation with Linjianxi Advertising Building.

The advertising building's staff and real estate have also expanded several times. It is only a matter of time before it replaces Tus Advertising Company in the industry.

Next, Lin Li focused his work on promoting the movie. In addition to posting some character posters and behind-the-scenes footage on the official WeChat account of "Young You" every day, Lin Li also started writing a theme song for the movie.

In the system, Lin Li would not let go of the movie's own theme song. After a few days of searching, he went to Wang Tuo's recording studio to complete the movie's original soundtrack.

These two songs, one is "We Are Good" and the other is called "FLY".

After recording the songs, Lin Li found someone to cut some spoiler-free clips and behind-the-scenes footage to serve as the MVs for the two songs.

Five days later, Lin Li released the song "We Are Very Good" and marked it as the theme song of "Young You".

Because the attention brought by the song "Father" to the movie "Young You" has just dissipated, it is now attracting the attention of many netizens again because of the theme song.

Three days later, Lin Li released the ending song "FLY", which kept the topic of the movie "Young You" quite popular.

Netizens all know that Lin Li is filming a movie about school bullying, but no one knows the specific story.

So when the movie "Young You" became more and more discussed, everyone began to be curious about the story of the movie.

Although the film was not promoted by the company, the attention on the Internet is not low.

A few days later, Lin Li released the first trailer of the movie "You Are Young".

This trailer is only about 50 seconds long and is full of fragmented clips. There are several campus scenes, coupled with the rapid transition of Lin Li's fight, and the rhythm of the music, it makes people's hearts beat faster after watching it, but it doesn't look like it at all. Nothing comes out.

What can be roughly seen is the director's style of the movie.

The movie's images are dark and depressing, which also goes with the theme. After all, it's a movie about school bullying, so it can't be made fresh.

After this trailer was released, it didn't take long for it to become a hot search.

Originally, if a trailer had been released directly after the filming of the movie, it would have been difficult for the movie to be trending due to its popularity at the time, but Lin Li's songs have raised the popularity of the movie and the audience's expectations.

Therefore, when the tip of the iceberg was revealed in this movie, netizens wanted to find out.

"Look at the trailer, this movie should be good."

"Watching the trailer is quite exciting. I hope it won't disappoint me."

"Would it be cruel? I don't dare to watch it."

"It is said that there is a kissing scene!"

"What, a kissing scene? Between Lin Li and Chen Qingqing?"

"Wow, the two of them gave each other their first kiss on screen. Royal CP fans will be so happy!"

"No, my boyfriend's kiss..."

"I feel like Lin Li is so handsome in this movie, and his acting is so good."

"What a man, Lin Li, much better than those little fresh meat!"

"Does anyone know when this movie will be released?"

"Ah, people who grew up in Sioux City saw many familiar scenes. It's great!"

…………

During this period, Mango Channel's "Longing for Life" program also began to air, but Lin Li was in the last episode, and it would have to wait for a while before his part could be broadcast.

At the same time, new plays directed by Zhang Dasong also began to appear, and Lin Li finally got his part of the script.

Zhang Dashong's new drama is a period film, tentatively titled "The Grandmaster". The main story is that the male protagonist Song Shi is the son of a southern sect master. His father died during the war, so he took his family north and wanted to open a martial arts school to revive it. Family business, promoting southern martial arts, but was ostracized by local martial arts schools.

So according to the rules of the martial arts world, Song Shi could only choose to kick out the martial arts gym. He had to overthrow all ten martial arts gyms in Jinmen before he could open a martial arts gym in Jinmen.

But Song Shi felt that he would open a martial arts gym in Jinmen in the future. He would not look up when he looked down. If he really wanted to go on the field and defeat these people, it would be difficult for everyone to meet in the future.

So Song Shi found a disciple from the Jinmen martial arts school, hoping to let the apprentice go to the martial arts gym. The apprentice was from Jinmen, so even if he defeated the people from the Jinmen martial arts gym, they would be able to accept it in their hearts and would not cause trouble for him in the future.

After searching for a long time, Song Shi found a Jinmen native who was very talented in martial arts, but he was a woman.

This woman's name is Guo Hui, and she is the leading female lead in this drama. Naturally, she is played by Chen Qingqing.

Song Shi accepted Guo Hui as his disciple and taught her martial arts for three years. Guo Hui was extremely talented and after three years she was as good as Song Shi.

The two also developed feelings while getting along, but due to their status as master and apprentice, they never revealed it.

Since the martial arts school in Jinmen always retains some skills from masters and disciples, it has been passed down from generation to generation. Today, few young disciples have real skills.

When Song Shi taught Guo Hui, he taught him everything he could.

In order for Song Shi to gain recognition and respect from the Jinmen Wulin, Guo Hui tried her best in every match and beat the people at the Jinmen Wulin to a pulp.

Losing to a woman made the people of the Jinmen Wulin lose face. The "Wulin Leader" of Jinmen privately advised and even threatened Guo Hui, asking her to lose on purpose when she kicked the gym. However, Guo Hui did not listen and still defeated three martial arts masters in succession. pavilion.

So the "martial arts leader" of Jinmen, who felt that he had been disgraced, found someone to kill Guo Hui and killed her.

After Song Shi learned about Guo Hui's death, he was furious and went to the gym in person to beat him. In the end, he beat the people in the Jinmen Martial Arts Hall to the point where they were helpless. From then on, no one in the Jinmen Martial Arts Hall dared to object to him opening a martial arts gym. .

On the day Song Shi opened the martial arts gym, the "martial arts leader" also came to congratulate him.

Song Shi fought with him and eventually beat him to death on the stage. Because of this incident, Song Shi was still not tolerated in the Jinmen Wulin and could only travel far away from home. No one knew where he was.

This script is very average among Zhang Dasong's movies. There is no sentiment about family and country, and there are no ups and downs in the plot. To put it bluntly, it is just a tragic master-disciple relationship, and more than a dozen scenes of challenging a martial arts school.

The only thing that has some profound meaning probably reflects the reason why the martial arts has declined to the current situation, that is, when the master is teaching his disciples, he is always afraid that the master will be better than the master, so he will hold back, so that it is passed down from generation to generation, and finally the martial arts has become what it is today. Such an embarrassing situation.

Lin Li was a little disappointed at first, but after seeing more than ten martial arts scenes, he changed his view.

In the script, every martial arts competition is described very carefully, including the martial arts drama where Song Shi teaches Guo Hui. Every scene is different.

Each martial arts school specializes in different things. After more than ten fights, almost all eighteen martial arts skills were used.

Apart from anything else, if these more than ten fighting scenes are filmed well, they will definitely be wonderful!

According to what Zhang Dashong said when he was planning the movie, this time, he wanted to make a pure martial arts film to promote Chinese martial arts and let all audiences experience the shock of real Chinese martial arts.

In today's market, there are too many people pretending to be "masters" who are swindling, causing the reputation of martial arts among the people to become increasingly eroded, and no one believes that martial arts has any actual combat capabilities.

Zhang Dashong has been learning boy kung fu from his grandfather for a while since he was a child. Although his skills are not good, his heart is still towards the martial arts, and he wants to rectify the name of martial arts through his own movies.

Zhang Dashong's previous movies also had traces of Chinese martial arts in many places, but this time, he hired someone to write the script for several years in order to make a movie like this.

Moreover, the martial arts instructor Zhang Dashong hired was a well-known martial arts instructor in the industry: Yuan Ping.

With these two people on board, no one will not look forward to this movie.

After Lin Li received the script, Zhang Dasong's contract was also sent to him. The contract required Lin Li and other important actors to stay for three months to go to the crew for training.

After all, there are too many martial arts fighting scenes in this movie. The actors don't have to practice to be proficient, but at least they have to be able to shoot it during filming to achieve the effect the director wants.

For so long, Lin Li drew a lot of Chinese martial arts moves in the system, such as swords, guns, swords and sticks. He had all drawn them, but he had not upgraded them.

This time it comes in handy.

However, Lin Li is also a little worried. His movie is about to be released and many things have not been resolved yet, so naturally he cannot go to training now.

But not going to the training camp would be completely disrespectful to industry giants like Director Zhang Dashong and Yuan Ping, especially since he is still a newcomer. If he offends them, they can completely replace him.

Lin Li thought for a while and decided to discuss it with Zhang Dasong.

Although a newcomer who had debuted for a year could play the male lead of Zhang Dasong, he wanted to sign the contract immediately and prepare to join the cast. Lin Li actually wanted to discuss it with Zhang Dasong, and he was not afraid that Zhang Dasong would replace him in a fit of anger.

In the eyes of others, Lin Li's behavior may think that he is crazy. The release of the movie can be left to others. It is the right choice to quickly fall into the arms of Zhang Dasong's crew.

But Lin Li didn't think so.

If you compare a movie to your own child, then the release of the movie is the birth of the child. He has to start facing the eyes of the world. Lin Li still has a lot of ideas about the publicity before and after the release of the movie, and he doesn't want to just leave it to others.

Lin Li was different from others. If others encountered such a situation, they would definitely think about whether to choose A or B. There is always a trade-off.

But Lin Li's thinking was, how could he have his cake and eat it too!
