There is a difference between online dramas and TV series.

The gap lies in the lineup and production.

When Lin Xing acted in the drama "Portrait of a Murderer", Ren Yi felt a little confused. Now that "Sweeping Out" has given Lin Xing recognition in the industry, why is he still acting in an online drama? ?
"Which web drama??"

Zheng Zhou asked curiously.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "It's just a script at the moment. The other party hasn't prepared it yet. It was handed over by Panda Video. I just think the script is good."

"The male lead??"

Zheng Zhou suddenly asked.

Lin Xing said: "Well, theoretically he should be considered the first male."

"Alright."

Zheng Zhou said with a smile: "Ren Yi, the production of online dramas is becoming more and more sophisticated. In the past, online dramas may not be as good as TV dramas, but now they are almost the same. Ah Xing chooses online dramas to be able to play the role of male lead." The number is normal."

Obviously, Zheng Zhou thought that Lin Xing was too impatient.

He was the male lead in "Portrait of a Murderer", and now Panda Video is also the male lead in a book he doesn't know what kind of book it is.

Isn't this impatient? ?

Obviously, he has gained a certain reputation in "The Big Brother" and his acting skills have been recognized by the industry. Zheng Zhou believes that if Lin Xing accumulates more experience, it may be impossible for him to win the leading role in a TV series.

Are you so anxious? ?

Zheng Zhou had seen too many young people lose their temper when they got angry, and even just wanted to kill the goose to get the eggs. Zheng Zhou originally thought that Lin Xing would be different.

Now it seems that they are the same.

Everyone present was a smart person, so when Lin Xing decided to take the role, naturally no one tried to persuade him.

After 2 hours, the meal was over.

"Axing, listen to me, you must be careful when choosing a drama, be careful, and be more careful. You have finally gained a certain popularity now, so don't squander your popularity."

Before Ren Yi left, he persuaded Lin Xing: "I told you before. Ranking is not important. What is really important is the energy of your character, just like Du Fei, who you played in "Just Waiting for You" , although there are not many scenes, but enough highlights..."

Lin Xing understood that Ren Yi was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

This is the real friend.

Looking at Zheng Zhou again, he is almost a dinner party friend, everyone just gets what they need.

As for Guan Peng, he also wanted to persuade Lin Xing. He felt that Lin Xing was obviously very stable before, so why did he suddenly become anxious? ? ?

"Brother Guan, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Lin Xing chuckled: "I won't make fun of the reputation I have earned so hard."

"That's good."

Guan Peng felt relieved after hearing what Lin Xing said.

He was really worried that Lin Xing cared too much about this so-called position and made a mistake.

After all, there are too few online dramas that are popular. Only TV dramas can really bring dividends to actors.

Just like "Just Waiting for You" and "Sweet Man" brought Lin Xing character bonuses.

Just like "Learning from Dad, Learning from Mom" ​​has brought bonuses to Guan Peng's character.

"They are all not optimistic."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly on the way back.

He knows that the industry has a certain disdain for online dramas, just like the movie fans in the past looked down upon the TV drama fans.

But what happened next? ?

Not only did movie stars come down to earth and act in TV series, but then they basically revealed their true colors one by one.

Who is nobler than whom? ?

The same is true for web dramas. The current web dramas are in a period of rapid development. The quality of some web dramas is gradually becoming more sophisticated, and web dramas that were once shoddy are gradually being eliminated.

Lin Xing believes that if he stays for another year or two, web dramas can also become gods.

After returning home, Lin Xing took a look at the online discussions, and sure enough, the popularity of "Portrait of a Murderer" had really dropped a lot.

In addition to the hot search for buying, many people seem to be not interested in the web drama "Portrait of a Murderer" at all.

"I just saw how the show was promoted?"

Lin Xing sighed and said.

It is indeed difficult for small-scale, low-cost online dramas to gain attention.

Not to mention "Portrait of a Murderer", the same is true even for "Bad Kid" which is currently being prepared.

Panda Video wants to be in the suspense market, but their cost control is extremely high, otherwise they would not have cut off all the previous content.

The purpose is to reduce costs.

Therefore, Deng Ying, the new boss of Panda Video’s content department, wants to win with quality.

Script is king.

This is necessary. Many TV series fail mainly because of the script.

Secondly, Deng Ying is planning to start with suspense. Several other video websites currently do not have a channel specifically for suspense theater.

In this case, Deng Ying simply opened a suspense theater.

In the first drama, he directly made a suspense drama. More importantly, in order to reduce costs, or in order to make the drama a high-quality drama, he planned to further reduce the drama.

20 episodes is already quite a small number now. If you look at the 20 episodes of "The Big Brother", everyone is still full of excitement after watching [-] episodes. It has even been completed for more than ten days, and some people have expressed their hope that a second season can be filmed.

All in all, everyone really liked the 20-episode drama "The Big Brother". After watching it in one sitting, everyone felt that it was not enough.

Like many TV series, they often reach more than 50 episodes, and some have as many as 70 episodes. The audience watched half of them and watched The Eunuch.

Although it has gotten better in the past two years, some TV series still have more than 40 episodes. Even if you watch less of the middle episodes, it will not affect the plot at all if you continue watching.

Why do people watch TV series at double or triple speed more and more? ?
Isn't it because TV dramas are becoming more and more popular nowadays?

For this reason, Deng Ying believes that since we are making a suspense drama, we should make it fast-paced and compact, rather than something slow and slow that doesn’t even get to the point after two or three episodes.

12 episodes.

Deng Ying made many choices before choosing the script for "Bad Kid". He felt that this script was very in line with his own considerations.

The script is ready, and Deng Ying is planning to choose actors with acting skills. The most important thing is that they must have both acting skills and charisma.

So he handed the script to most of the actors who fit the bill.

Some popular artists Deng Ying, who were obviously bad at acting, simply gave up. Even if these popular artists wanted to spend money, Deng Ying would not agree.

However, it is really not easy to invite real artists with both reputation, acting skills and popularity to act in this script.

Web dramas have always been ignored by A-list actors.

What's more, they can't afford frontline workers.

You can rest assured that Deng Ying has a certain understanding of the script. After much deliberation, he had no choice but to cast a wider net. First, he tricked the actors into it, and then communicated with the actors later.

After learning that Lin Xing was interested in "Evil Child", Deng Yingna was really happy. He had a chat with Lin Xing's agent, Sister Dao.

But I always feel like the other party doesn't trust me.

Or maybe the agent thought he was trying to make a fool of himself.

Especially when Deng Ying said that the director of "Evil Child" was Lan Lei, Sister Dao completely regarded him as a liar.

"I was serious."

Deng Ying said to Sister Dao: "Although Lan Lei has no experience, he is very good at suspense. I think..."

"Okay, Mr. Deng, I believe in your sincerity, but I still have to go back and discuss it with Teacher Lin."

This is what Sister Dao said before she left.

Then we lost contact for several days.

Originally, Deng Ying thought that Lin Xing might have given up on the show, but what he didn't expect was that Lin Xing would take the initiative to ask them to meet today.

"Mr. Deng, do you think Lin Xing can act?"

Lan Lei asked with some disbelief.

"I don't know."

Deng Ying shook her head slightly: "But we must show sincerity in a while. The most important thing is to let Lin Xing see that our script is really good..."

In fact, Lan Lei is not very confident.

The script of "Evil Child" is really good. Lan Lei was so excited that he had the opportunity to direct it. He didn't sleep well for several nights. Also present was Ting Hai, the screenwriter of "Evil Child".

Ting Hai is a new screenwriter. He saw the suspense scripts collected by Panda Video before and submitted the script for the first three episodes of "Evil Child". After that, he was shortlisted, so he also wrote the next nine episodes.

This was Ting Hai's first time writing a script. He was not surprised when he saw that Lan Lei was directing it. After all, it would be strange for such a small script to invite a big director.

However, when he knew that Lin Xing might participate in the show, Ting Hai was completely confused.

really.

Although Lin Xing is far from being on the front line, let alone being popular, he has fully proved himself with the drama "The Big Brother". What's more important is that Zu Ming greatly praised Lin Xing.

If he acts in dramas in the future, shouldn’t he be the leading male lead in TV dramas?

How is it possible to play such a role? ?

Moreover, this role is relatively dark, and it is more likely to have some impact on Lin Xing's image.

"Ting Hai, you will mainly talk to Lin Xing about the script later."

Deng Ying said to Tinghai: "Let me tell you, whether Lin Xing can be allowed to participate in the show mainly depends on today."

Half an hour later, Lin Xing came to Panda Video accompanied by Sister Dao.

Along the way, Sister Dao was very sincere.

She believed that there was no need for Lin Xing to make the trip in person. More importantly, Sister Dao had been in the entertainment industry for so many years. She understood very well that a good script did not mean a good finished film.

You must know that the script can determine the lower limit of a play, but the director, producer, and actors are the ones who really determine the upper limit of a play.

There are clips at the back.

If there is any more, it will be announced.

Good publicity can save a drama, but bad publicity can make the audience beat themselves to death.

"Axing, you will understand why I said this when you meet me later."

After Sister Dao arrived at Panda Video, she said the last words to Lin Xing, and then she stopped trying to persuade him.

Next, we need to be consistent with the outside world.

"Hello, Teacher Lin, I am Deng Ying, director of the content department of Panda Video..."

Deng Ying sighed inwardly when she saw Lin Xing.

He is indeed handsome.

To be honest, such people may not be suitable.

Because he's so handsome. "Teacher Lin, let me introduce to you. This is Ting Sheng, the screenwriter of "Evil Child". This script is his original script. This is Lan Lei, our next director of "Evil Child"..."

Deng Ying suppressed his thoughts and introduced Lin Xing with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, hello."

Tingsheng and Lan Lei quickly said to Lin Xing.

The two newcomers seemed a little embarrassed in front of Lin Xing.

"Mr. Deng, I'll get right to the point."

Lin Xing didn't talk nonsense. He said directly: "I am very interested in the script, and I am also willing to participate in the role of the math teacher, so I have a few questions to ask you."

Deng Ying said hurriedly: "Okay, you tell me."

“Are you sure this script only has 12 episodes??”

Lin Xing asked the first question: "I have read the current script. Both the characters and the plot are quite good, so I would like to ask if there are any changes to the script in the later stage??"

"No, we are doing a suspense drama this time to make it a high-quality product."

Deng Ying said with a smile: "Since we want to make it a high-quality film, we naturally cannot have too many episodes. When we solicited scripts before, we only solicited short plays."

At this point, Deng Ying paused and said: "But Teacher Lin, if you are really sure to participate, then we can discuss some plots during the filming. If you have any opinions, then we will all take your opinions as the basis." , if you think it is not good for your character to be bald, you think this character is too tragic, and you want another emotional line, then..."

"Need not."

Lin Xing suddenly interrupted Deng Ying and said: "Mr. Deng, my last drama was "Portrait of a Murderer". This drama is also an online drama. I wonder if you know the producer of this drama, Ma Wen?"

Deng Ying was stunned: "I really don't know him, but I can know him if you think it's necessary."

Lin Xing couldn't help but smile.

Sure enough, being a producer is really about being able to bend and stretch.

Deng Ying and Ma Wen really do exactly the same thing.

So Lin Xing could only express his attitude: "You misunderstood me. I mean I told Marvin before I filmed "Portrait of a Murderer" that I would not ask for additional scenes, because if Adding scenes will destroy the original structure of the script, especially adding emotional scenes. If "Bad Kid" really adds an emotional line to the math teacher, wouldn't you think it's ridiculous??"

"Teacher Lin is right."

Ting Hai suddenly said: "Nowadays, some TV dramas rely entirely on the emotional line to push forward the plot. It seems that all walks of life are either falling in love, cheating on the mistress, or the heroine and the mistress under the banner of 'feminism' Join forces to fight the scumbag..."

Good guy.

Once I saw this Tinghai, I couldn't stop watching TV series.

Each of these complaints is very accurate.

"Yes, Teacher Tinghai is right."

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "So I won't ask for changes to the play, but at the same time, I hope you won't change the script easily. The script cannot be changed. It can be modified slightly, but it must not be changed drastically."

Lin Xing said exactly the same thing when filming "Portrait of a Murderer".

The scene was really recreated.

"Teacher Lin, you can just call me Tinghai. I dare not call you teacher in front of you."

Ting Hai said somewhat flattered.

He didn't like Lin Xing very much before "Anti-Gangster". He felt that Lin Xing was a lucky man, a lucky man with a face that would make a country beautiful.

Of course it is easy for such a person to attract fans when he plays a domineering CEO.

God is fair. When he gives such a person such a face, he will definitely take something away from him.

The result was something Ting Hai never expected. Lin Xing's performance in "The Wild Wave" shocked him.

What's more important is that Tinghai is Zu Ming's biggest fan.

Because Tinghai has always regarded Zu Ming as his idol, he always feels that what domestic entertainment needs now is not a two-faced or even unprincipled director like Kong Yi.

What domestic entertainment now needs is a director like Zu Ming who sticks to his own principles and insists on filming according to his own ideas.

But such people praised Lin Xing greatly.

This shows that Lin Xing is capable.

And extremely capable.

Looking at Lin Xing's performance in the last episode of "Sweep the Crime", Ting Hai felt that if Lin Xing didn't talk about becoming a god, at least he would be able to become a king.

At that time, Ting Hai also complained in his circle of friends.

Damn it, did God put away Lin Xing's appendix?

He's so damn handsome and has good acting skills.

There is absolutely no fairness at all.

But now, Lin Xing is sitting in front of him. Even though they have been chatting for more than half an hour, Tinghai still feels that it is unreal, quite unreal.

More importantly, how dare he call himself teacher in front of Lin Xing.

"Haha, in my opinion, you have written a realistic suspense-themed script like "Evil Child", and you deserve to be called my teacher."

Lin Xing chuckled, then turned to Deng Ying and continued to ask: "So Mr. Deng, what is the current progress of this script? Have the actors been finalized or have they not been finalized yet?"

"Teacher Lin, we have actually finalized the candidates for the three children. After confirming the script, I have quietly auditioned thousands of children from all over the country. At the same time, I have also tried out child actors from the entertainment industry. Finally, I found three suitable ones. Currently, these three children have been taking classes with the acting teacher I found..."

Deng Ying said quickly: "As for the other actors, the actresses have basically been confirmed, but the male actors have not been confirmed yet."

"Oh."

Lin Xing said and stood up: "In that case, do it as soon as possible. Remember to let me know when you are ready..."

"Ah? Teacher Lin, this..."

"Happy cooperation!"

Lin Xing stretched out his hand towards Deng Ying.

This made Deng Ying stunned for three seconds, and then he laughed: "Happy cooperation!"

"Teacher Lin, can I take a photo with you?"

Tingsheng suddenly asked weakly at this time.

"no problem."

Lin Xing said.

As for Lan Lei, he also took a photo with Lin Xing.

Later, Deng Ying suggested: "How about the three of you take a photo together!"

Next, Sister Dao will be responsible for signing the contract.

"I knew it, I knew what I said was all in vain."

Sister Dao said helplessly at this time: "But Ah Xing, do you really have confidence in such a grassroots team?"

"You still have to give it a try."

Lin Xing laughed and said: "When a film is not produced, no one knows how it will turn out, but as an actor you still have to dare to take risks. Otherwise, if you stand still and only make steady scripts, you may not be able to fail, but It’s absolutely impossible to explode.”

Although Sister Dao thinks what Lin Xing said makes sense, after all, many big-hit dramas in the industry are often not taken seriously at the beginning.

As long as everyone has high hopes for it from the beginning, just go and see it. One by one, it will be totally blown away.

When Sister Dao went to sign the contract, Lin Xing said to Deng Ying: "Mr. Deng, have you confirmed the actor for the role of Ding Heping?"

Deng Ying shook her head: "Not yet, Teacher Lin, do you have a suitable candidate?"

"If not, when are you going to audition? I have a suitable candidate, and I think he can play the role of Ding Heping with depth..."

Lin Xing smiled and said: "Of course, I am not interfering in your casting. I just want you to have a chance. You can decide after the audition whether it is successful or not."

"No, Teacher Lin, the one you choose will definitely be fine..."

Deng Ying hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Ask him to contact me, and then we can sign the contract directly."

Lin Xing: "???"

You don't have to.

If today he inserts the character Deng Ying and says it’s no problem, then tomorrow someone else inserts the character Deng Ying and says it’s no problem too? ?

Wouldn't it be a mess later? ?

"Mr. Deng, I hope that everyone will work together to make this drama a masterpiece. Otherwise, I will not come to talk to you personally, so I hope everyone will pay attention to it..."

When Lin Xing said that people should try not to use the back door, Deng Ying looked a little weird.

"Teacher Lin, don't worry, I definitely put my acting skills first."

Deng Ying didn't say anything about going through the back door.

In his opinion, it is normal for a film to use the back door. How many directors often like to use the back door.

As long as the acting is okay.

"Teacher Lin, because your understanding of characters is extremely strong, that's why I believe you..."

Deng Ying explained again why he agreed just now when Lin Xing said that he didn't think he needed to audition.

Because he already knew some of Lin Xing's abilities from the industry.

This is the entertainment industry, whether it is good or bad, it spreads very quickly.

Many times, the crew has no secrets.

Otherwise, why are there so many glow-in-the-dark scripts?

"But when it's time to try out, you still have to try out."

Lin Xing will not ask for any kind of treatment for himself, and he also doesn't like to use the back door.

At first, Feng Gang wanted an opportunity for introduction to himself, but now Lin Xing also wanted an opportunity for introduction to his friends.

That's all.

When the opportunity comes, it depends on the individual whether he can seize it or not.

An hour later, Lin Xing and Sister Dao left Panda Video.

"Axing, do you need to take on another movie??"

Sister Dao thought for a moment and said, "I support your desire to transform, but should we also take on another idol drama??"

"I was just going to tell you..."

Lin Xing said and recounted what Zheng Zhou discussed yesterday: "You can talk to them about the rest. I will only record two episodes. I won't record more. I am not suitable for variety shows at the moment." That’s a lot.”

"Well, okay."

Sister Dao smiled bitterly: "The idol drama seems to be a failure, and once "Bad Kid" is aired, I think I can say goodbye to idol dramas completely."
