✈️你的飞行教练何西来喽～

这次和大家见面的时间比较短，但很开心在玫瑰的故事里解锁了飞行教练这个身份，能在空中自由飞行自己开飞机的感觉真的很奇妙。

不过最最最高兴的还是可以和我一直以来非常喜欢的前辈@刘亦菲 老师合作，她是对我人生影响很大的偶像，喜欢她的每一个作品，尤其是仙剑，也欣赏她对工作敬业的态度，还有她的自信大方，从内心油然而生的从容与魅力，都是我想向她学习的。

第一次见到她的时候大脑一片空白，好像总控制不住已读乱回，不敢相信自己真的能见到偶像，记得以前有一次生日，工作人员说刘亦菲老师刚好路过要来探班可以顺道跟我说声生日快乐，我高兴坏了开始认真打扫房车生怕给她不好的印象，敲门声响起的那一刻我紧张到心脏要爆炸，结果出现的居然是拿着蛋糕戴着面具的工作人员（永远记得那晴天霹雳的瞬间），导致我内心有点阴影一直很难相信有一天我真的可以见到刘亦菲老师，这次能一起合作拍戏真的是我的荣幸，希望以后还能有很多这样的机会！！找我一定到

距离拍摄结束已经快一年了，可就算我现在看到我们当时的剧照合影还是觉得很像做梦，会有一种恍惚感哈哈，人生真的很奇妙，我也真的很幸运😁，希望大家都能圆梦，追星成功！

在这里也要特别感谢@汪俊导演  导演，跟我们走戏讨论的时候给了我很多不一样的想法，让我更好更快去接近何西的内心，帮助我调整表演上的问题，更谢谢导演把我拍的腿很长哈哈～

还有新哥@林更新 ，跟新哥真的很有缘分，有种一见如故的感觉，有他在的时候我心里特别踏实放松，跟新哥聊天总能得到很多收获，非常感谢新哥的照顾。

最后谢谢所有演员老师及辛苦的工作人员们，很可惜这次没办法见到每一个前辈老师，真的都是我很喜欢的演员老师们（尤其是霍建华华哥我太想见了但刚好都错过），希望以后还有机会能跟大家见面，谢谢你们给了我很美好的时光，请期待一年后何西学成归来，我们有缘再见！#玫瑰的故事#



Your flight instructor He Xi is here~

This time I met you all for a relatively short time, but I am very happy to have been entrusted with the identity of a flight instructor in The Tale of Rose. It feels really amazing to be able to fly freely in the air on board of my own plane.

But the happiest thing was that I could cooperate with my senior colleague ("teacher") @Liu Yifei who I have always liked very much. She is an idol who has a great influence on my life. I like every one of her works, especially Chinese Paladin, and I also appreciate her dedication to work. Her attitude, her self-confidence and generosity, her calmness and charm. These are all things I want to learn from her.

When I first met her, my mind went blank. I seemed to be unable to control my thoughts. I couldn’t believe that I could really meet my idol. I remember the staff had said that teacher Liu Yifei was around and wanted to visit the class. She was going to stop by to say happy birthday to me. I was so happy that I gave my trailer a serious cleaning for fear of giving her a bad impression. The moment I heard a knock on the door, I was so nervous that my heart almost exploded. I turned out it was just a crew member with a cake and wearing a mask, but I will always remember that thunderbolt feeling. It was hard to believe that one day I might really be able to meet Teacher Liu Yifei. It was really an honor for me to be able to work together with her, in filming this time. I hope we can do it again in the future. Lots of opportunities like this! She will definitely find me if she comes.

It’s been almost a year since the filming ended, but even now when I see photos of us together from that timr, I still feel like I’m in a dream, and I feel like I’m in a trance haha, life is really amazing, and I’m really lucky too😁, I hope everyone is happy You can realize your dreams and succeed in chasing stars!

I would also like to express my special thanks to director Wang Jun @王君director. He gave me a lot of different ideas when we were discussing the show, which allowed me to get closer to He Xi’s heart better and faster, and helped me adjust my performance problems. Thank you to the director for making my legs look very long, haha~

And Xin Ge [Lin Gengxin]@林萱萍, I really have a lot of fate with Xin Ge. I felt like we were old friends at first sight. When he was around, I felt very at ease and relaxed. I always got a lot from chatting with Xin Ge. Thank you very much for your care, Xin Ge.

Finally, thank you to all the actors, colleagues and hard-working staff. It’s a pity that I couldn't meet every senior colleague this time. They are all actors and seniors that I like very much (especially Brother Huo Jianhua. I wanted to meet them so much but just missed them all). I hope I can have the opportunity to meet you all in the future. Thank you for giving me a wonderful time. Please look forward to He Xi returning from his studies in one year. We are destined to meet again! #rose的故事#
Liu Yifei answered with 3 yellow roses and Lín Yī responded with 35 !

很抱歉这么晚才来写玫瑰，但面对这么鲜活的女性角色，我竟找不到精准的词汇去描述，在“玫瑰的故事”播放的过程中，我们几次深聊这个角色，她总是说黄亦玫从不畏惧去体验人生。亦菲从不想过多的解释角色，毕竟活出来比说出来更重要，与其说得头头是道，还不如什么也不说，只是专注地成为这个自我探索的女人。
22年的《梦华录》，23年的《去有风的地方》到现在24年《玫瑰的故事》，她的角色像一条彼此牵引的线索，从做想做的事，看该看的风景，到爱人学会爱己。我们聊到不同角色时，她总是说千人千面，所以她创造的角色仅属于她。她说耗废太多精力在与表演无关的人事上，一定会消耗表演的能量与力气，从2011年与她相识，我心中无暇美好的小白花，到此刻绚烂绽放的玫瑰，在这背后，有她对表演的诚恳与虔诚。她从不在非作品期间过度的曝光，坚持保持生活的简单与真实，这是她最大的叛逆，最适合女明星的外貌与才气，却总是要过着最不像女明星的生活，养猫、看书、看电影，从不浮躁，这是我爱她的原因。我一直对低调且热烈地活着之人，有着敬佩与仰望，她那么有本钱任性却从不任性，而是把力气一次次的都用在自我成就上。作为她的好友之一，我能看到另一个刚毅的她，而不止是仙气的她，也是这个刚强的内里，让她在一部部大女主的戏上绽放。

对我来说，她的人生才是真正的大女主，独立且清醒。

巧妙的是，我们年龄差距如此之大，她的通透常让我自叹不如，这与她习惯自省及爱阅读有关。明明我是姐姐，但每一次彻夜长谈，我都只感受到女性与女性之间互相鼓舞的美好。她的老灵魂与她美丽略带稚气的外表有着极大的反差，有时她坐在我面前，说着那些她观察到的人性与莫名，她都是平平静静的好像在说着另一个星球的故事，这么丰富立体的刘亦菲，无论是盼儿的聪慧与执拗，红豆的浪漫与勇敢，黄亦玫的天真与信仰，如此差异化的角色，她却都让你确信了有这样的女性存在，這与她对世界强大的理解有关，也与她总是积蓄能量只在角色里爆发有关。

黄亦玫在故事的最后骑上摩托车，迎着风，不再有任何人同行，然后她的声音响起，自信且坦然：“从此，我不再希求幸福，因为我自己便是幸福。凡是我遇见的我都喜欢，一切都被接受。我不受限制，我使自己自由，我走到我所愿去的任何地方。我完全，而绝对地，主持着我。”

当其他人还在追逐着她，她却已经飞向前方，留给人们一个叹息的背影。这么多年，我一直以为亦菲外表的美，只是我们认识她最简单的方式，而她真正的美，是她自由超脱的灵魂。黄亦玫还会勇敢的去爱，刘亦菲也会继续惊艳我们，“我完全，而绝对地，主持着我。”这不仅仅是台词，也是属于黄亦玫生命的史诗，我们爱过，犯过傻，我们也一次次地在衰败与建设中救赎自我，我们终会成为自己生命过去的旁观者，也是未来生命的拥有者，更是彼此人生的参与者。身为女人真的太幸福，只因女性能彼此共情，且接纳生命一切可能发生的。这一切看来如此宿命却又不信命，或许所有的相遇都是注定，但结局却可以由我们自己来改写。

只愿每一个经验过玫瑰的人生的你们，也能头也不回的，永不畏惧的，去爱，去生活。

I'm sorry to write about Rose so late, but in the face of such a vivid female character, I couldn't find precise words to describe it. During the airing of "The Tale of Rose", we had deep conversations about this character several times. She It is always said that Huang Yimei is never afraid to experience life. Yifei never wants to explain the role too much. After all, living it is more important than speaking it out. Instead of speaking it clearly, it is better not to say anything and just focus on becoming this self-exploring woman.

"A Dream of Splendor" in 2022, "Meet Yourself" in 2023, and now "The Tale of the Rose". In 24 years, her role is like a thread that links gems to each other, from doing what she wants to do, to watching what needs to be seen. Scenery, learn to love yourself from your lover. When we talked about different characters, she always said that there are thousands of people with different faces, so the characters she creates belong only to her. She said that wasting too much energy on people and things that have nothing to do with the performance would definitely consume the energy and strength of the performance. From the time I met her in 2011, she evolved from a flawless and beautiful little white flower in my heart, to the gorgeous and blooming rose of this moment. Behind this, there is her sincerity and devotion to performance. She never overexposes herself when she is not working, and insists on keeping her life simple and real. This is her greatest rebellion. Her appearance and talent are most suitable for a female star, but she always has to live a life that is least like a female star, raising cats. , reading books, watching movies, never impetuous. This is why I love her. I have always admired and looked up to people who live a low-key and passionate life. She is so capable but never willful, instead, she uses her strength for self-achievement time and time again. As one of her good friends, I can see another version of her, not just a fairy-tale like one, but a resolute one ; it is this strong inner side that allows her to blossom in dramas with major heroines.

To me, her life embodies the real heroine, independent and sober.

The strange thing is that we have a big age difference, and she often candidly expresses a feeling of inferiority. This is related to her habit of introspection and her love of reading. Obviously I am the older sister, but every time we talk all night long, I only feel the beauty of women encouraging each other. There is a great contrast between her old soul and her beautiful and slightly childish appearance. Sometimes she sits in front of me and talks about human nature and the inexplicable things she has observed. She is always calm and distanced, as if she were talking about another planet. She is so thoughtful and three-dimensional. Liu Yifei makes you believe that women such as these exist, whether it is Pan'er with her intelligence and perseverance, Hongdou's romance and bravery, Huang Yimei's innocence and faith, so many different roles. It has something to do with her powerful understanding of the world, and it also has something to do with the fact that she always accumulates energy and only explodes in her role.

At the end of the story, Huang Yimei rode a motorcycle, facing the wind, with no one else riding with her. Then her voice sounded, confident and calm: "From now on, I no longer hope for happiness, because I am happy myself. Whenever I meet someone I like, everything and everything is accepted. I am free, I go wherever I want to go. I am completely and absolutely in charge.”

While others were still chasing her, she had already flown forward, leaving people to sigh behind her. For many years, I thought that Yifei's physical beauty was the simplest way for us to know her, but her real beauty is her free and detached soul. Huang Yimei will still love bravely, and Liu Yifei will continue to amaze us, "I am completely and absolutely in charge of me." This is not only a line, but also the epic of Huang Yimei's life. We have loved and made mistakes.  We have redeemed ourselves again and again in the midst of decline and construction. We will eventually become bystanders of our own lives’ past, owners of future lives, and participants in each other’s lives. Being a woman is such a blessing because women can empathize with each other and accept everything that may happen in life. All this seems so fateful but we don’t believe in fate. Maybe all encounters are destined, but the ending can be rewritten by ourselves.

I only hope that everyone who has experienced the life of roses can love and live without looking back and never being afraid.

林更新  所见所“文”， 焕然一“新”。方协文的故事告一段落，@林更新 《玫瑰的故事》收官捷报已送达，感谢大家一路相伴～

笨拙的时刻，强硬的瞬间，时而纯粹又理想，时而现实却迷茫，这些的这些，都构成了方协文的成长脉搏。故事注定会有结尾，但生活和蜕变永远不会。
未来，依旧值得期待。
 Lin Gengxin took on a fresh look at the character from literature and now that Fang Xiewen's story has come to an end, @Lin Gengxin wishes to say : "The story of the rose" has been delivered, thank you all for accompanying us all the way [sending flowers]~

Clumsy moments, tough moments, sometimes pure and ideal, sometimes grounded in reality but confusing, these all constitute the pulse of Fang Xiewen's growth. Stories are bound to have an end, but life and transformation never do.
The future is still worth looking forward to.

If someone can find and add that data, I'm interested too. The piece of news I dug up only listed the others. But, I'm sure it can't have been too measly a sum, lol  (S+ dramas are "high budget")

Excerpt about this drama 

Click on Title above to view the full profile


Picture above : banner from Lín Gēngxīn studio Weibo during airing, depicting his character as Fang Xiewen

The Tale of Rose is the 13th drama to date in which Lín Gēngxīn appeared

Among the other screen work he did (17 movies, 13 dramas, 35 TV shows  since his debuts in 2009) , he played twice as support role in the beginning of his career, and since then as Male Lead or, twice as Guest (including The Tale of Rose). 

The latter has seemed rather inappropriate a denomination to many commenters, considering that Baidu lists him as "supporting" and he got 12 million Rmb remuneration for several times more screen time than colleagues Péng Guānyīng  彭冠英 (who got paid 15 million Rmb), Wallace Huo /Huò Jiànhuá 霍建华 (who hauled off 20 million Rmb for his appearance in 8 episodes.

LGX appeared in 18+ episodes and could well have been termed ML since his status as father and husband or ex husband from episode 13 to 38 was far more impactful on the story than the shorter or relatively shorter appearances of his colleagues).  

As Crystal Liu / Liú Yìfēi 刘亦菲 acknowledged, Lín Gēngxīn played admirably the difficult role. Lín Gēngxīn had already expressed himself in interview, so he did not add more than a few sentences in his farewell message to the character on his social media. It was also difficult for him as a person, since this set him as a target for "black fans" (anti-fans) who criticized him harshly, mostly from  the character he portrayed. Lín Gēngxīn chose to "respond positively through various ways, hoping to change the audience's views with practical actions, so that everyone can better understand and recognize themselves." (LaiTimes, July 2, 2024)
