Chapter 490: Filming Completed!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Then, filming “Dying to Survive” took more than three months.

For the past three months, Lin Fan had been filming for more than ten hours a day.

He was the male lead and the most important person in this movie.

Almost every scene had Lin Fan. Therefore, Lin Fan had to film every scene to the best of his ability.

For the past three months, Lin Fan hadn’t rested much.

The entire film crew did not rest much either.

In more than three months, this movie was about to be completed.

In the finale, many extras watched the protagonist leave.

Finally, the movie… was completed.

All the filming was completed.

After the movie was completed, no one cheered as usual.

Many people’s eyes were moist.

Lu Benkai found a random rock and sat down. His eyes were a little moist. “We’re finally done filming. I’ve never seen Boss Lin work so hard in a movie. This is something I’ve never seen before.”

“This is probably the most engrossed Boss Lin has ever been in a movie. He doesn’t really care about his image.” Liu Mou smoked a cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke.

“Yes, this is Lin Fan. He always has strict requirements for himself. Who would have thought that as a big star, he has to film more than ten movie scenes a day. He has to film a scene repeatedly. The movie ‘Dying to Survive’ was filmed really well. I’ve never seen anyone who can set the plot of the movie so well. To be honest, I’m very touched after filming this movie.” Lu Benkai sighed.

After all, the movie “Dying to Survive” did not have many funny scenes. Most importantly, this movie could directly touch the hearts of all the audience.

Many cancer drugs were extremely expensive, and most people could not afford them.

Furthermore, this medicine could only maintain the patient’s life.

Coupled with the extremely high prices, countless people would lose their families and sell their houses and cars just to fight against the illness. In the end, they could only leave this world helplessly.

This was the helplessness of humans in the face of illness.

This was the main point of the movie. Every detail could touch the hearts of the audience.

Whether it was the pain of the cancer patient, the male lead’s choice between illegal medicine and legal medicine, or the fact that he had to break the law to save more people.

The change in the male lead and the plot of the movie allowed this movie to achieve its final sublimation.

Furthermore, this movie deeply reflected the change in the male lead. It was even adapted from a real story in reality.

There were no jokes with the usual funny style, but the plot was realistic. People were helpless in this environment, so before the movie was released, the director and the other staff were already teary-eyed.

“This movie is the best movie I’ve filmed in all my years of working. I feel proud to be able to participate in this movie. Although I don’t know what kind of results I’ll achieve after it’s released, I have no regrets about filming this movie,” Liu Mou said with a smile.

“After this movie was released, there were only two outcomes. It was either it became popular or it failed. No one knows what kind of movie the audience likes now. Previously, the style of funny movies was quite good. I thought that Lin Fan would continue with this style, but he chose to film ‘Dying to Survive’ and completely changed the style of the movie,” Lu Benkai said.

Liu Mou nodded. “But Boss Lin is such a person to begin with. Look, when he was filming television drama, it started with the historical drama Joy of Life, then it became the Xianxia drama The Legend of Sword and Fairy, then it became the anti-war drama Drawing Sword, and he even filmed the relationship drama Twenty Your Life On. Later on, he filmed the martial arts drama The Legend of Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes. The style of every television drama is changing. Every television drama can be filmed so well, and all the television dramas personally directed by Boss Lin are extremely popular!”

“Boss Lin has already become very proficient in every style of television drama. After he transitioned to film movies, everyone thought that Boss Lin’s movies would fail. However, Boss Lin used facts to prove what a legend is.”

“Isn’t the popularity of ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ enough to prove Boss Lin’s ability?” Liu Mou smiled. He was no longer worried about Lin Fan’s ability because Lin Fan’s thinking was far ahead of theirs.

“That’s true. Maybe ‘Dying to Survive’ can still become popular.” Lu Benkai nodded.

“I heard that ‘Wandering Earth’ has already been filmed. The script for this movie was also written by Boss Lin. Although Boss Lin wasn’t involved, this movie might still become popular,” Liu Mou said with a smile.

It was very difficult for movies to become popular.

Even the most famous director could make this movie popular, but not the next movie. The audience’s requirements for the movie were also very harsh.

Liu Mou was always confident in Lin Fan. Every movie Lin Fan filmed should be able to become popular.

After the filming was completed, Lin Fan sat on the rock and couldn’t calm down for a long time.

This movie was finally over.

After filming the movie, Lin Fan was deeply moved.

He was the director and main lead of this movie. After filming for so long, the feelings he had for this movie were incomparable to others.

To be honest, Lin Fan wasn’t too confident that this movie would become popular.

The second half of this movie had always been depressing. There were the deaths of all sorts of supporting actors and the helplessness of the patients in the face of illness.

Reality and oppression filled the ending of the movie.

Of course, there were also many touching parts.

Lin Fan wasn’t sure if it would become popular.

However, Lin Fan had already spent a lot of effort on this movie.

It was already May, the end of spring, and the beginning of summer.

A movie that was filmed from winter to spring took a long time.

As for whether it could become popular, that would be up to the heavens.

Lin Fan was wearing a scarf that Xia Wanqiu had knitted for him.

However, the weather was gradually getting warmer, and the scarf was temporarily useless.

“Alright, send the movie to the post-production department. After the movie is completed, you can contact the cinema and release it quickly,” said Lin Fan.

“Boss Lin, fast release? Don’t you need to promote the movie? After the movie is done, it will take a lot of effort to promote it,” Lu Benkai said curiously.

Which movie wouldn’t need promotion?

Even if he was a big director, he still had to promote the movie so that the audience would know that such a movie existed.

“There’s no need to promote it much. I’ll just post something on Weibo,” said Lin Fan. “Leave the publicity to the cinema. Just promote it casually. The most important thing is to release it early.”
