After Lin's father and mother came back, they looked at the graffiti on the wall calmly, took a photo, and sent it to Meng Lan.
"This is my son's masterpiece." Lin's father and mother said, "Please help him promote it and let his fans know how childish he is."
Meng Lan, who has been very busy recently, almost choked with laughter and felt that all the fatigue in her body was laughed away.
The diligent agent called to ask Lin Xin the reason for her graffiti. After learning that Lin Xin was so absorbed in the role of "Back to Hometown" and missed her parents so much that she was locked outside after returning home excitedly, she was very unhappy and therefore did this childish act of revenge, Meng Lan really choked with laughter this time.
He was very happy to share the cause and effect of this incident with Lin Xin's fans, and accompanied it with Lin Xin's "high-definition paintings". He also said that he would find a professional photographer to take pictures of Lin Xin's paintings and make them into postcards to give back to the fans' love.
Fans said that they fell down because of Lin Xin's laughter, and needed Lin Xin's kiss to get up.
Getting into a role is a very serious matter, but Lin Xin is able to express it in a comedic way, making people laugh.
After Meng Lan reported the fans' reactions to Lin Xin, Lin Xin pondered for a while and said, "You mean, I am suitable for comedy?"
Meng Lan didn't know why Lin Xin came to this conclusion, but the romantic comedy he performed last time was quite successful, so it's not impossible for him to continue acting in it. It's just that it's not easy for comedies to win awards.
Meng Lan said, "While you are young and popular, focus on winning awards first. Once you win some more awards or nominations and solidify your position in the entertainment industry, you can shoot some comedies or direct your own comedies."
Lin Xin nodded and said, "Okay, I will try my best."
Meng Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I just said if you really like it... I didn't mean you should work hard."
There is still a certain degree of discrimination against comedians in the film and television industry. Although comedy is not necessarily inferior to tragedy in terms of artistic content, comedians are not necessarily inferior in acting skills to actors in art films.
Lin Xin didn't know why Meng Lan suggested that he act in a comedy (Meng Lan: ... I don't.), but at the same time told him that he didn't need to work hard in this area. But he was a good boy, and he agreed even though he didn't understand, and then turned around and called Xue Fei for advice.
Xue Fei is almost becoming his human consultant.
After listening to Lin Xin's description, Xue Fei felt a little sympathetic towards Meng Lan. Meng Lan and Lin Xin's thinking was completely on different lines, but it was surprising that they could still reach a consensus.
Xue Fei explained to Lin Xin all the misunderstandings in their communication, and told Lin Xin that Meng Lan did not want him to act in a comedy, but because Lin Xin wanted to act in a comedy.
After Lin Xin hung up the phone, he rubbed his mosquito-repellent eyes.
So dizzy, Brother Meng thought he wanted to act in a comedy, he thought Brother Meng wanted him to act in a comedy... Well, forget it, don't think about it, I can't figure it out. I'd better just act well in the play at hand.
The drama that Lin Xin took on this time to promote the company's new female star is a movie that describes the problem of human trafficking in China.
Lin Xin plays a rural youth named Chen Da, who has a childhood sweetheart named Xu Juan from the same village. Although their family is not wealthy, they have a very good relationship.
Chen Da works in the city, while Xu Juan takes care of the elderly and does farm work at home. At the beginning of the movie, Chen Da said that he had received the New Year's bonus, and the family had money to renovate the house, and they could also prepare to have children. The couple was happily planning for the future, but they didn't expect the nightmare to come soon.
Chen Da broke his leg in a construction accident and began to give up on himself. Xu Juan decided to go out to work to support her family, hoping to support her lover with her actions and tell Chen Da that the family is not finished yet.
At this time, someone came to the village to recruit female workers, so Xu Juan followed that person out.
When Xu Juan went out to work, many people laughed at Chen Da, saying that Xu Juan didn't go out to work, but ran away with someone. Chen Da was very angry and called Xu Juan to ask her to come back. But he made many calls, but Xu Juan didn't answer.
Just when Chen Da was discouraged and thought that Xu Juan really despised him and ran away because of his disability, Xu Juan called back. Chen Da was angry and hung up Xu Juan's phone several times. Xu Juan kept calling him, and Chen Da finally turned off his phone out of anger, thinking that he would give Xu Juan a cold shoulder and then call her again to ask her to come back.
The next day, Chen Da called Xu Juan again, but found that Xu Juan's phone was turned off. Chen Da thought Xu Juan was angry with him, so he decided to have a cold war and see who could outlast the other. But on the third day, the police found Chen Da. It turned out that the police were looking for a large human trafficking gang, and one of the gang members had appeared in this village before.
That person is the "boss" who came to recruit workers.
The police visited the families of the "recruited" women, hoping to get clues from them, catch the criminals, and rescue the abducted women.
Only then did Chen Da realize that Xu Juan had been abducted and sold, and the phone call Xu Juan had made to him before might be Xu Juan's last hope of escape.
But he turned off the phone.
The criminal was very cunning, and the police returned empty-handed. Xu Juan's case became Chen Da's inner demon. He ignored the persuasion of his parents and brothers and embarked on the journey of looking for his wife alone.
On the way to find his wife, Chen Da changed from a disabled person who could not make a living and had to rely on begging on the road to a man who could speak, write and use new media. He united a group of poor people whose relatives were abducted and formed a leader of a group that helps each other and shares resources.
Judging from his life experience, he is already very inspiring. But the guilt in his heart has become a nightmare. He can't sleep or eat well if he can't find his wife.
At the other end of the story, after being abducted, Xu Juan had been trying to escape. But she never succeeded. She was sold into the mountains and became the wife of three brothers. She experienced the tragedy of being abused and raped. She once thought about committing suicide, but thinking of her disabled husband at home, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
At first, she thought that her husband's legs were broken, her parents-in-law were old, and her brothers had their own families. No one except herself would take care of her husband for the rest of his life. She wanted to escape and return to her husband.
After that, she felt that even if she went back, she would not be able to go back to her husband. But she still wanted to go back, to see her husband, and then die. The memory of her past happy life was the last light that she relied on to survive.
Xu Juan later became pregnant and wanted to abort the baby, not wanting to give birth to a child who had raped her. Her family then chained her up to prevent her from harming herself.
Chen Da and his companions search for their relatives, and Xu Juan's tragic experience intersect in the film. In the end, the police and the people cooperated and finally defeated the gang. The police entered the village and wanted to rescue the women who were trafficked into the village. However, they were violently resisted by the villagers, and the police had no choice but to leave temporarily.
Who made the Chinese law “one cannot hold everyone responsible”?
Finally, the men in the village said that they could bring the abducted women back if they paid money.
Some parents agreed, offering to use their life savings to get their daughters back, but most had already spent all their savings in the process of searching for their loved ones, and had no way of dealing with the other party's exorbitant demands.
Chen Da couldn't come up with the money either.
Xu Juan took advantage of the chaos in the village and ran out. Her child fell to the ground when she climbed out of the chimney. She looked old, her clothes were ragged, and blood was flowing from her body. She walked a few steps and crawled a few steps, trying to escape.
The villagers soon found her and wanted to take her back. At this time, Chen Da came to the village again. Even though Xu Juan had become so miserable, he still recognized his wife at a glance. Xu Juan also recognized her husband.
The two men tried to get closer to each other as they were beaten by the villagers.
At the end of the movie, the police station that received the call dispatched the special police. When the special police car arrived at the village, the villagers who had beaten Xu Juan and Chen Da scattered. Xu Juan and Chen Da, who had been beaten beyond recognition and were already dead, lay on the ground.
They were still in the posture of wanting to crawl towards each other, and there was a palm's distance between their hands stretched out to each other.
The movie ends here, without describing what happens to those who have not been rescued, nor what the fate of these villagers is.
Shang Qiuping plays Xu Juan. When she got the script, she was shocked by how dark it was. In the crew, she smiled and told Lin Xin that the story was really exaggerated.
Lin Xin shook her head and said, "This is based on a true story. In fact, the reality is even darker than this. Because it was too dark, they were afraid it wouldn't pass the censorship, so the ending was cut and became an open ending."
Shang Qiuping was immediately shocked: "Reality adaptation? Are there really such a couple in real life?"
Lin Xin said: "In real life, Chen Da's role is a couple looking for their daughter. In order to add a little romance to the plot, the parents and daughter were changed to a husband and wife. In fact, it is not so romantic in reality. It is basically the parents who look for the trafficked women. As for the husbands... according to the survey, basically they have remarried."
Shang Qiuping laughed dryly twice: "Is it, is it?"
Lin Xin said: "The confrontation between the police and the villagers, the villagers asking the victim's parents for money, and the parents seeing their daughter escape being beaten to death by the villagers together with their daughter, are all true stories."
Shang Qiuping opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
Another veteran actor who was listening in asked, "What happened to the villagers in the last village? Is this the end of it?"
Lin Xin said: "They covered up for each other, and no one knew who killed the person. In the end, several young men were locked up for a few years, and the others were fine. But because of the murder, the other women in the village were finally rescued. Later, according to the oral accounts of the rescued women, many women were abducted into this village, raped, and killed, but the police did not file a case."
"It's not that the police are derelict in their duty, but that they have no way to collect evidence. The locals are shielding each other, and even the local government thinks it's better to have less trouble than more, and even thinks it's a good thing that the purchased wives benefit those bachelors and reduce the local crime rate. Sometimes the police are kidnapped and killed while rescuing abducted women and children." Lin Xin paused and said, "When everyone in a village unites to do evil, the police can do nothing."
Lin Xin said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. He didn't understand why "the law does not punish the masses".
Isn't the law supposed to govern everyone? Why is it that when many people break the law, there is no accountability? □□? But if the law is trampled upon, society will become more unstable, right?
Lin Xin couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He was a star, not a politician. Let the leaders worry about these things. He just had to act well in his own movies.
When Lin Xin said these words, he was very calm. The people who listened to him fell into depression, and the crew was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
The director was happy to see this happen. In this atmosphere, the actors all showed extraordinary acting skills. Even Shang Qiuping, whose acting skills seemed very weak against the backdrop of many veteran actors, showed full explosiveness in the end, which was very moving.
However, Shang Qiuping's own condition was not very good.
After listening to Lin Xin's words, she couldn't help but look up relevant information, and was frightened by the numerous cases. Especially when she played the victim Xu Juan, she seemed to have really become the poor woman who was locked in the house, lingering in the hellish life with only the hope of seeing her lover for the last time.
Shang Qiuping had a breakdown in the end and almost couldn't continue the performance. Fortunately, Lin Xin had prepared in advance and invited a psychologist to take charge, so that Shang Qiuping didn't give up halfway due to psychological factors.
When Lin Xin first asked the psychologist to accompany the crew, some people complained that Lin Xin was wasting money and increasing costs. Lin Xin just said coldly that he hired this psychologist at his own expense to shut up some people.
As the content of the filming became more and more depressing and people lined up to consult the psychologist, the crew began to sing praises of Lin Xin, saying that Lin Xin was worthy of being a superstar, who was knowledgeable and experienced, knew that something would go wrong, and was willing to prepare a psychologist at his own expense.
Moreover, Lin Xin himself did not seek consultation from a psychologist. He benefited the crew entirely at his own expense.
According to the psychiatrist himself, his appearance fee is not low.
Finally, the director felt bad and found Lin Xin privately, saying that Lin Xin could discuss with Fengyu. Even if Fengyu did not give Lin Xin the money, they could include the money Lin Xin spent on hiring a psychologist in the investment. Lin Xin refused.
Lin Xin said: "If I had thought of this situation in advance, discussed it with other investors, and invited a psychologist, this fee should naturally be counted as a cost. But I thought of it halfway through and did not discuss it with others. No matter how useful this measure is, it is my personal behavior and should not be counted as a cost. Don't worry, my salary is enough to pay the doctor's appearance fee."
The director didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not afraid that you can't afford it, I just think you're at a disadvantage."
Lin Xin said: "It's okay, it's okay. I calculated Brother Fei's investment ratio, and I should still be able to make money."
Director: "..." So does your boss Xue's investment and profit have anything to do with your loss? Even if he gives you money to spend, you still lost money this time?
The director felt that Lin Xin’s thinking was indeed as difficult to understand as industry insiders had rumored.
But since Lin Xin himself didn't think it was a big deal, the director didn't continue to meddle in his affairs.
Although the director said this to himself, his actions did not reflect this. He told the media about this incident and used the whole crew queuing up to see a psychologist as a publicity point.
He doesn't ask for much box office for this movie, but he hopes to win an award. Considering that everyone is working so hard and acting to the point of breaking down, can you give some encouragement?
At first, most public opinion believed that this was just a hype, but in the end the psychologist came out to confirm what the director said.
This psychologist is very famous in the industry, and it cost Lin Xin a lot of money to invite him to the crew.
The psychologist originally thought that this was because of the investors' awesomeness, but after joining the crew he found out that Lin Xin was paying for the project at his own expense, and that he was doing it for the benefit of others.
"Lin Xin's mental state is very good. I haven't had the opportunity to serve the real sponsor yet." The psychologist joked, "Your claim that Lin Xin paid for a psychologist for the crew must be false. Such a person must be stupid. I thought so at the beginning, and many people in the crew didn't buy it at first, but Lin Xin persisted. Now I am very busy with my work, and no one in the crew says that Lin Xin is a fool anymore."
"Some people are born to succeed, and I think Lin Xin is one of them."
After reading the psychologist's evaluation of himself, Lin Xin felt a little unbelievable: "I am just worried about delaying the filming. Anyway, I have no shortage of money. Compared with the salary, I value the potential of this film to win awards more. Why do they find it incomprehensible?"
The assistant thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they can't understand the way rich people think. You think you just spent a little money in exchange for a smooth filming. But they value money more."
Lin Xin sighed: "Always talking about money, money, money, isn't that too vulgar? You see, I never care about that. They should focus more on other things."
The assistant's mouth twitched. So he said that ordinary people can't understand the thinking of rich people. Only when there is too much money will they say that money is too vulgar and doesn't need to be considered at all.
Lin Xin wanted to respond, but the assistant stopped her. He thought that if Lin Xin spoke out her true feelings, it would probably make Meng Ge anxious again.
Because Lin Xin did not speak his "true feelings" this time, his motives were interpreted by netizens themselves.
In short, it is hard to escape from the good words that he is responsible for the film and cares for his predecessors and juniors. Some people also said that Lin Xin was hyping again. Of course, Lin Xin used his own money to do practical things. If it was hype, most of the onlookers with normal brains would think that Lin Xin is a good person.
However, Lin Xin has always been labeled as a good person since his debut, so this time he reached a new level of goodness, and the onlookers didn't seem to be surprised. As for Lin Xin's fans, they were all proud. Their idol is so good that people will look up to him when they say they are his fans.
This kind of idol is really a great honor for fans. Even parents who dislike star-chasing the most expressed their support after hearing that their children are fans of Lin Xin. There is even a trend of "whole family star-chasing". Lin Xin is extremely popular among grandparents and is deeply loved by the older generation.
A fan once posted a message to complain that Lin Xin had finally released an album with a limited edition photo album. Because the school’s Internet was cut off, she had to sneak out to buy it in a physical store, but she found that the people in line in front of her were all old men and women. She couldn’t get the tickets at all, and she didn’t dare to compete with them.
She originally thought that these uncles and aunts bought them for their grandchildren, but they opened them after buying them, and then looked at them and admired that Lin Xiaoxin was becoming more and more handsome.
Oh my god, it turns out you guys aren't buying for others, you're collecting for yourselves! _(:з」∠)_ I feel like I'm a fan of the same celebrity as an old man, and I have mixed feelings.
The comments under this fan's blog are all funny. Blogger, you are really amazing. Lin Xiaoxin has been the favorite star of the middle-aged and elderly since her debut. Isn't it great to be fans of the same star as your parents and grandparents? When Lin Xiaoxin finds her conscience one day, she can hold a fan meeting or concert, and the whole family can go on a trip together.
After reading the comments, the blogger suddenly realized something and decided to recommend his entire family to join Lin Xin’s fan circle, so that the whole family could also chase stars together.
This kind of weird fan circle is probably not very common.
A weird star like Lin Xin has a weird fan circle, which is just a case of fitting the pot.

After Lin Xin finished filming this movie, "Return to Hometown" began to be released.
After its release, this film's box office was not as good as other big productions, but it received very high reviews from the audience.
Because of Lin Xin's fame, this movie achieved the best box office performance in China.
Although Chinese people attach great importance to the concept of family and find it difficult to understand why the protagonist ran away from home because his parents did not understand him and did not return home even after his parents died, the protagonist's pain and regret after the reversal made them understand it more deeply.
The older people in China criticized the protagonist of this film for harming his parents because of his youth and ignorance. The young people in China said that they could understand the protagonist. They were indeed not abused in life, but their mental distress was not without illness. Maybe the elders think that as long as they are well fed and clothed, it is enough, but children are also human beings. Adults will have troubles, and so will children. The pain of not being understood is unbearable for adults, and so are children.
On one hand, the young people say that they are also very sad and hope that their parents will understand them, while on the other hand, the parents say that the young people "don't know the taste of sadness when they are young, so they force themselves to express sadness in order to write new words." The contradiction in the movie is also clearly present in reality. This makes the movie more ironic.
But young people in reality cannot go back to the past like the protagonist, after they mature, and have a spiritual exchange with their parents as adults, so as to understand their parents' painstaking efforts. If you miss it, you miss it.
If the parents were still alive, perhaps their relationship could have been eased. If it was like the protagonist, perhaps he would never let it go.
But maybe it's better not to let go. It's more painful to wake up like the protagonist but be unable to make amends.
