Chapter 417 Nothing Matters in Life Except Death

Saturday, March 27th.

9 a.m., Big Star Cinema.

Zeng Li, Da Mao and others all came for the 9:30 show. They were not all scattered in the same hall because the tickets given to them by Ding Chunling were relatively scattered.

At 9:30, Hall 3 will be showing "Going to Heaven".

Because the entire hall was filled with free tickets, which meant that everyone came because they were interested in "Going to Heaven", the discussion in the entire hall was relatively harmonious.

"Actually, I mainly want to see how Lin Xing performs??"

"I'm not very interested in Lin Xing. I'm mainly interested in the subject matter of this movie."

"Yes, I have only read about the funeral industry in online articles before, but there is really no such thing in movies and TV shows."

…

After Zeng Li entered the venue, the discussion in the hall was quite lively.

Some are just like Zeng Li. This time she came to see the screening of "Going to Heaven" just for Lin Xing. This is for Lin Xing's fans.

Others are not interested in Lin Xing, but are only interested in the funeral industry.

Of course, there are still some people who believe in Lin Xing's works alone. Most of the people in this hall are like this.

Because everyone feels that Lin Xing has never acted in a bad movie, they all feel that this "Going to Heaven" will not disappoint everyone.

"Sister Li, do you think Brother Xing will suddenly appear in our scene???"

A fan whispered to Zeng Li: "I remember when we were filming "Killing Arden" and "Sunspot", Brother Xing would always come up with surprises like this."

"No, Brother Xing is still filming a TV series in Shanghai."

Zeng Li shook her head slightly and said: "He doesn't have time at all. Besides, this is a screening after all. If Brother Xing really wants to show up, he should show up during the premiere."

The fan said with some disappointment: "That's right, but we shouldn't be eligible to attend the premiere."

“Who can say for sure??”

Zeng Li said a little funny: "We are very lucky to be able to participate in the screening. You have to know that there are only a few screenings in total. What is the probability??"

The young fan also smiled and said: "It is true, you can't be dissatisfied."

Da Mao whispered: "Stop chatting, it will start in a moment. We don't make loud noises, and we don't video or take pictures. Don't smear brother Xing."

Many times fans pay for the behavior of idols.

This is not only true for other low-traffic fresh meat, but also for Lin Xing.

The bigger the forest is, the more birds there are. The more traffic there is, the more fans there are.

Fortunately, Lin Xing did not go to a fan club, nor did he go to extremes. Moreover, he bought off all his peripherals, and even the autographs and photos were worthless.

Not to mention fans, even Lin Xing doesn’t know how many photos he has signed.

Because of this, Lin Xing doesn't have any peripherals now that some fandom leaders can make money from, and Lin Xing has even been sued by Lin Xing several times for proxy shooting.

Again, Lin Xing does not need such traffic, so he is often hacked now and some agents are hacking him.

You need to know how many photographers make money from celebrities. If you look at airports, train stations and other places, there are many photographers taking all kinds of photos of celebrities, and sometimes they even mess up the order.

But they made money, but it was the fans who were scolded in the end. Not only that, but even the celebrities were scolded.

Because of this, Lin Xing has always been prohibited from taking photos on behalf of others. He always sends out signed photos at any event he attends. No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he takes a photo with Lin Xing, Lin Xing will accept all comers.

Some artists may not have time, some artists may not have the energy, and some artists may feel that they are superior, so they will not be approachable and take photos with passers-by at all.

But coincidentally, Lin Xing is very energetic. Not only that, in addition to filming, when he is in dramas or experiencing life, if he is recognized by passers-by, Lin Xing will really take the trouble to take photos with others.

Compared to top celebrities who hire countless fans, presidents of fan clubs, and even ask studios to do something just for the sake of exposure, Lin Xing is indeed an alternative.

And precisely because Lin Xing is such an outlier, most of his fans are not extreme.

Because extreme fans will never appear in the fan club group.

The reason is very simple. There is no room for extremes in Lin Xing's fan club. You can't be extreme even if you want to be.

Because in these unofficial fan clubs, everyone can say whatever they want as long as they don't curse.

Here, there are no rules.

We are all normal people, not digital beings, leeks that have been cut off.

Because of this, support club presidents like Zeng Li and Da Mao are not extreme. In addition to the two of them, there were five fans who came to watch "Go to Heaven".

But these five fans have not been reviewed in any way. Some personal accounts cannot follow other celebrities, some can only follow Lin Xing, etc.

But that doesn't mean there are no requirements.

The requirements are that you at least have a certain understanding of Lin Xing, and you also like movies. It is not necessary for those who are in trouble or just want to attend the screening to show off.

It is precisely because of this that Da Mao gave away five people to Yan Xiaofang.

Yan Xiaofang is also just a high school student, but because she goes to high school in the capital, and she doesn't need to study like she's in prison, her parents don't push her too much, so her parents fully support any of her hobbies.

So, although Yan Xiaofang is not very old, she is also a small V on Weibo and Bilibili, because her comments on many movies are very sharp.

Even many film critics call Yan Xiaofang "Little Lao Zhong".

After all, Yan Xiaofang's style is really a bit like Lao Zhong, especially when everyone learned that Yan Xiaofang was still a high school student, they were even more shocked.

Really a promising future.

Even Lao Zhong forwarded a film review written by Yan Xiaofang before and wrote: "Well written, I think you already have your own style, you are you, just write according to your own style."

This is the highest level of star chasing.

And Yan Xiaofang doesn't like Lin Xing because Lin Xing is so great, she is not a person who relies on the appearance association, she just likes Lin Xing because Lao Zhong supports him.

Then, Yan Xiaofang really felt that Lin Xing was definitely a legend.

This is too strong.

Because of this, in the past three years, Yan Xiaofang has also written more works about Lin Xing, and her style has gradually become different from that of Lao Zhong.

After all, many times the style cannot always be the same. If it is really quite similar, then to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than living under the shadow of Lao Zhong for a lifetime.

This is also why Lao Zhong specifically told Yan Xiaofang.

The reason is the same. She does not want the young Yan Xiaofang to blindly follow her style and eventually go down the path.

Fortunately, Yan Xiaofang is indeed very motivated. Now her account is one of the few that is built on interest.

Of course, this interest is also determined by the economic conditions of Yan Xiaofang's family.

Originally, Yan Xiaofang was looking forward to seeing Lin Xing at this screening ceremony, but she gave up after listening to Zeng Li's words.

Now she is thinking about how the movie "Going to Heaven" is.

You have to know that Yan Xiaofang is still a high school student now, and she may not be able to understand this kind of life and death.

But "Going to Heaven" is not 18+ after all, and this movie is actually quite suitable for minors.

After all, the protagonist is Zhang Xiaomai, a first-grade elementary school student.

Exactly so, it's okay for Yan Xiaofang, a high school student, to watch it.

More importantly, Lin Xing told Meng Yan from the beginning that this is not an art film, so don't promote it according to the routine of art films.

Apart from anything else, at least you can't do anything so-called pretentious.

Because many times, the more pretentious it is, the more it often represents abandoning the public.

In Lin Xing's view, "Going to Heaven" is a movie suitable for all ages, even if many children don't understand death, and even many people don't know how to talk to children about death, then this movie is quite suitable.

This is also a means of publicity.

More importantly, "Going to Heaven" talks about death in an optimistic and even somewhat comedic way, or in other words, this movie is not about death, but about cherishing.

Many times, we always think that there is still a lot of time in the future, and we always get entangled and waste our time because of all kinds of trivial matters, but facing death, these are really nothing.

Most of the time, ten years may really pass in the blink of an eye, so the ancients said that filial piety should be performed as early as possible, which is also very correct.

Because most people are gone when they want to support their parents.

And there are even more people who do not know how to cherish, and only repent when they really face death, but it is too late.

At this moment, many viewers in Hall 3 are far from this feeling, and everyone is just waiting to watch such a movie.

This should be the first movie with funeral themes. Many viewers present have different thoughts, but those who can participate in the preview naturally like movies.

Three minutes later, "Going to Heaven" officially begins.

The beginning is a funeral, and Mo Sanmei, played by Lin Xing, appears to help a deceased person with cosmetic surgery.

Because the old man died in a dream, and the old man was accompanied by only a granddaughter, and this granddaughter was the orphan Xiaowu played by Zhang Xiaomai.

The child didn't understand that the old man had passed away. She just thought that her grandmother was asleep.

A funeral brought Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen together.

…

"Sanmei, I have to comfort you. You have to think more open-mindedly. It's not a big deal. Isn't it just that others say you are a cheater?"

"Isn't it just that your girlfriend dumped you?"

"Isn't it just that your girlfriend cheated on you?"

"Isn't it just that the cheater is richer and better off than you?"

"You are a cheater, have been in jail, have no car, no house, and no savings."

…

"You two shut up. Are you trying to comfort me or disgust me?"

…

When Mo Sanmei found out that she was cheated on, and then she had to pretend to be cheerful and express that she didn't care, at the same time, his employees, or his two friends persuaded him, which made Mo Sanmei collapse.

As for the theater, there was laughter.

What follows is the interaction between Xiao Wu and Mo Sanmei. Xiao Wu, a child who has grown up without parents and has only depended on her grandmother, really feels that her grandmother was kidnapped by Mo Sanmei's funeral home.

This is a small episode in the film, and as previously announced, Xiao Wu has a lot of roles, and she is even considered the absolute leading female.

This movie can really make people who watch the movie feel something.

Nothing is permanent.

And the movie is shown through several funerals.

In the first funeral, the old man passed away in his dream. A group of people held the funeral lively. Everyone was laughing and joking as if the funeral was held for the living people and for the living people to see.

Even if the son is sad, he can only feel sad for a while, because he is not just a son, he is also a father, and he needs to think about his son.

The second funeral was about a girl. She wanted to pursue her dream bravely, but her parents wanted her to stabilize and stop being unrealistic. They even threatened her with death. In the end, the filial girl was helpless. He agreed, but when he was in despair, he was hit by a large truck and died.

Life is impermanent.

In the third funeral, the old man wanted to hold a funeral for himself in advance, but when he faked his death, a farce broke out between his son and his daughter.

It's all due to demolition costs.

Raising children to prepare for old age ultimately depends on luck.

But the fourth funeral was organized by the ex-girlfriend for her husband. This really fulfilled that sentence. No one can guarantee that he can be arrogant for the rest of his life.

Originally, Mo Sanmei didn't want to agree, but since ancient times, China has said that the deceased is the most important, and Mo Sanmei already has respect for her profession. At the same time, Mo Sanmei also reconciled with her father.

But again, when the relationship between father and son heated up, Mr. Mo's life also came to an end.

There are big things in life, there are big things in life, there are no big things in life except death.

This sentence deeply resonated with many people present.

Even in these five funerals, no one felt sad, or even heavy, because it was like all the changes in life, and we seemed to witness it like Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen.

When the movie ended and the theater lights came on, many people still didn't stand up for a long time.

Cherish the people in front of you.

The paintings of Lin Xing and Zhang Maimai also appear at the end, as well as the stars in the sky.

As for the easter eggs, they are about the lives of Mo Sanmei and Xiaowen, as well as the atmosphere of life on the streets of this city.

world.

The easter egg brings everyone back to the human world.

As the lyrics often say, every star in the sky has loved our people, so we must cherish the present even more.

Yan Xiaofang may not be able to understand death, but she thinks this movie is good. ,

As for Zeng Li, she only had one feeling.

That's what they say in the movie: There's nothing important in life except death.
