According to "Mirror Weekly" report, after Lin Yanjun and Chen Yushan signed the brokerage contract, the other party was busy with the preliminary work of "Witness", "I also I made a poster for the movie, and thought I would participate in the film’s performance”, but after the poster was shot, there was no follow-up, and I didn’t receive any new performance work for almost a whole year, resulting in zero income, and I couldn’t even pay the rent, even because I didn’t pay the rent. The management fee didn’t dare to go through the front door, and secretly went home through the back door. “I had to live on my laurels. In the end, when I had problems with my life, luckily I met my current agent, who helped me get out of that inhuman life.”
《 "The Eyewitness" has so far surpassed 50 million at the box office in Taiwan, and is expected to win the Golden Horse Award. All this is particularly touching in Lin Yanjun's eyes. She said frankly that after watching the movie, all she could think of was "I was supposed to star in this movie!" But looking back on the experience of that year, I would like to thank her former agent Chen Yushan. Although those days were hard, her life also grew rapidly. Hosting a food program has never been able to describe the taste, but later mastered the trick, and couldn't help but shed tears when recalling the past. At the same time, I did not forget to thank my host partner A Pang for his patience in teaching.

In fact, Chen Yushan has already revealed the reason for the poster shooting in her "Witness" Facebook fan group (not Cheng Weihao's "Witness" Facebook fan group) , "(The screenwriter) usually reaches zero at a certain period of time. At the zero stage, I will shoot concept posters.", "The purpose of concept posters is to communicate with relevant people, including investors, directors, actors, Relevant staff.", "The concept poster is to communicate the atmosphere. In order not to let the atmosphere escape, I will print the concept poster and stick it on the wall." So Lin Yanjun is actually just the protagonist of one of the concept posters, Provide Chen Yushan for the convenience of discussing the use of the script.
Regarding this, Lin Yanjun told "ET Movies" through his agent, "At that time, everything was arranged by the company." However, director Cheng Weihao entered legal proceedings due to a copyright dispute with Chen Yushan, and no longer made any public statements. The film company Jiayang acted on his behalf. Response: "The company is not aware of this aspect. Lin Yanjun is a very good actor. After that, Jiayang will start other TV shows or movies. If there is a suitable role, I will be happy to cooperate with her." "Fan group Facebook full text:
The screenwriter I often work with has more than 200 script concepts in the computer. Usually we will chat in a small way, and then we will write it down, usually at a certain period of time will come to zero, at the zero stage, I will shoot concept posters. When there is no budget, the concept poster is to grab pictures from the Internet, and ask my artist to do the design draft. I care about the visual style very much, because our entire concept and atmosphere are extended with concept posters. Then this picture was taken at my own expense, the photographer is a great Miing, I took my concept poster to tell him, I want eyes, the feeling of innocent victims, but he may also be one of the perpetrators , a great photographer, and I really like his lighting concept.
It takes us about a week just to find the concept poster pictures. If we have the budget, we need to search for models, photographers, makeup artists and stylists. Usually, the budget for a studio is less than 30,000 yuan, and we need to sign contracts with relevant personnel before shooting. Copyright, sometimes it is cheaper to act, and it is possible that the concept poster will not be signed. The purpose of the concept poster is to communicate with relevant people, including investors, directors, actors, and related staff.
Then the third step, field research, data investigation and screenwriter search, we try not to write down the original, usually 1.0~4.0 version, let the screenwriter write, let the screenwriter arrange the plot, we will think of the plot we want, i passI often use dictation, the screenwriter wants lines, and the concept poster is to communicate the atmosphere. In order not to let the atmosphere escape, I will print the concept poster and stick it on the wall. (Because of this matter now, the future dictation will be conducted in the form of recording. If it is not a screenwriter, you have to hold a computer or a pen. It is very troublesome for me to type while thinking.) When
goes well, the first When the screenwriter comes down to write a draft, I first produce the outline, from the outline to the first draft of the screenplay, it will be 1.0, and sometimes 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 will be produced accidentally, which means that there are three versions. At this time, I will change the draft , For example, I have three screenwriters and five original writers. We will change handwriting. Many people don’t like to change scripts. Even when we are making characters, we will find actors and actor directors to communicate. The actor director helps me Grasp the character of the character, for example, Xiao Qi's personality, what is he like in private. We were probably in the third draft in 2011. The screenwriter and director Chen Yujie gave me a suggestion to let the murderer become someone, and that someone is the murderer in the current movie version.
My way of thinking about writing scripts is not a general way of thinking, and I don’t know what other people use. My own way is not learned in class or experience, but intuition. I have encountered screenwriters who thought my way was weird and he couldn’t accept it. When the script was changed, they were very angry and thought that I didn’t respect the screenwriter and resigned.
My investors will also ask, why spend money on concept posters, and just do it when the movie is about to be shot, as well as field surveys, data surveys, and car accident data surveys, so we asked the police about the number of car accidents in Taiwan every year Events, how many hit-and-runs, the possibility of asking about the hit-and-run, the possibility of finding the murderer, the possibility of dying without a problem, these can trigger our inspiration.
Many small details will trigger my inspiration. For example, when I went to take the MRT yesterday, when a woman went down the stairs, she went down the stairs with her back facing me, that is, the whole person walked in the opposite direction, but It’s not as scary as the Archmage, it’s very realistic. I usually record the details of this character at this time, because it’s very realistic. At that time, I even wanted to rush over and ask her why she walked backwards. After leaving, I will really catch up with that woman and ask him why he fell backwards.
And now I imagine why, it may be foot pain, knee problems, another reason I think is very interesting, is fear of heights, the stairs of the MRT are sometimes very long, and walking down is actually very scary .
