This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 117 It’s not necessary to be unsociable (please ask for monthly votes for guarantee)
Kong Tian Studio.

"Axing, why are you here??"

Kong Tian looked at Lin Xing and said in surprise: "You didn't even make a call in advance??"

"Class finished??"

Lin Xing asked with a smile.

"I'm done. Let's go and chat in my office. I'll ask someone to order some food later."

As Kong Tian spoke, he picked up his mobile phone and asked people in the studio to order meals, and at the same time, he specifically told which restaurant to order.

Because the restaurant where Kong Tian ordered meals has recently been out of service, restaurants are becoming more and more economical, and the menus have even been replaced with pre-made dishes.

How to save trouble how to come.

Quick dishes such as shredded pork with Beijing sauce, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork with pickled vegetables, and sweet and sour pork loin are completely unsuitable for entertainers.

High in sugar.

"The restaurant I'm looking for is a small restaurant, but first of all, the boss is really good at cooking, and secondly, it's clean and hygienic..."

Kong Tian laughed a little as he said this: "What do you mean these days? Actors don't really act, singers don't really sing. Now it's better, chefs don't really cook anymore."

Lin Xing said: "Brother Kong, it's not like you don't know how to cook. You really can't afford to have a kitchen in your studio. Next time we get together, we can cook."

Kong Tian listened to this but said seriously: "Don't tell me, I really want to build a kitchen. I can also stir-fry and cook..."

After all, Kong Tian usually spends most of his time in the studio now, because he can take fewer and fewer roles.

Character determines fate.

Everyone knows that Kong Tian is very talented, and he is not particularly good at acting direction, so whether it is a movie or a TV series, everyone is willing to invite Kong Tian to be the acting director.

But forget the rest.

Because Kong Tian is too unsociable in the eyes of many people.

Everyone is fishing and lying flat, you are the only one who is reeling? ?
The key point is that if you are on the front line and top-notch, then no one will say anything about you. You are such an old fool that you cannot be called a 'passed artist' because you have never been popular. Who will give you face at this time? ?

Most of the time, face is not given by others, but earned by relying on your own status.

The same thing, some people say it is the truth, but you say it is bullshit.

Just like Lin Xing only had one assistant to pick him up in "Just Waiting for You". There were not many people willing to pay attention to him on the set, let alone his treatment. Chu Chen and Li Jingjing even finished the scene with Lin Xing. Just withdraw.

But in "Anti-Gangster", Lin Xing firstly won the recognition of Zu Ming with his acting skills, and secondly, he won the recognition of Ren Yi with his conscientiousness in the crew.

It was completely different when he was on the set of "Portrait of a Murderer".

Even if Lin Xing clearly does not want any treatment, not even the so-called RV, Lin Xing's invisible treatment among the crew is naturally not high.

Try replacing Lin Xing from before?

Do you want to take a leave of absence from "Portrait of a Murderer"? ?

There are no doors.

In the entertainment industry, sometimes you have to learn to compromise. As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, Lin Xing has always been such a person and kept his heart. But why should he be serious about some things? ?

But not Kong Tian. He really couldn't get any sand out of his eyes.

Lin Xing had warned Kong Tian before that he would not be popular if he was too noble.

'Social' is sometimes actually a derogatory term.

But Kong Tian obviously didn't listen, or as he said, I'm over 40 and my temper has been fixed for a long time and I won't change it.

If I really change, I will no longer be Kong Tian.

Lin Xing respects people like this, because they live a pure life, far unlike some old actors in the entertainment industry who sell themselves to be honest and indifferent to fame and fortune, while doing the most unrestricted things.

"Next time, maybe I'll finish the kitchen when you come next time, and I'll build an open-air balcony barbecue later..."

Kong Tian brought Lin Xing to his office. He poured Lin Xing a cup of jasmine tea and said with a smile, "Tell me why you came to me suddenly."

Lin Xing laughed: "You can't come if you have nothing to do??"

"Of course not, but you should be busy now. Not to mention that you just finished filming "Portrait of a Murderer", I was chatting with Ren Yi two days ago, and he also said that he wanted to record a variety show with you..."

Kong Tian smiled and said: "But Ah Xing, I still want to advise you. You can record variety shows, but don't record too many in a year. You should take advantage of your popularity to choose a few more books now. If you record too many variety shows, you will easily become a variety show star." , look at Ren Yi, he has not dared to record variety shows in the past two years."

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "Brother Kong, I know it. I told my agent before that I won't record too many variety shows this year. Even if I record it, it will be for the promotion of the TV series."

"I feel relieved when you say that. Besides, I have seen many sober people in the entertainment industry, but not many are so sober at your age."

Kong Tian paused and said: "Most people may still maintain their original aspirations before becoming famous, but once they become famous, few can keep it, especially fame and profit. We have seen too many in this circle. Someone who becomes famous overnight and then falls quickly.”

At this point Kong Tian laughed: "But you are special. You experienced fame at a young age, and then experienced ten years of silence. Now is your golden period, so I don't suggest you be too anxious, just take it slow and steady. .”

Not to mention anything else, in 2023, Lin Xing successfully returned to everyone's attention with his outstanding roles in Wu Yao's House, "Farming", and "Just Waiting for You".

At the beginning of 2024, he successfully gained recognition in the industry with his role as Zhou Bo in "The Big Brother".

What's more important is that Lin Xing is only 32 years old this year. Male stars and female stars in the entertainment industry are different. The golden age of male stars does not even begin until they are 35 years old. Some male actors even started their career blowouts in their 40s.

Now, Lin Xing has traffic. His traffic is not comparable to real top traffic or top traffic that is highly praised by capital, but it is better than artificial top traffic such as Li Xingchi, Xu Han, and Hao Zhi.

In addition, Lin Xing also has acting skills, and his acting skills have been recognized by people in the industry.

Then Lin Xing will definitely not worry about the book next. In this regard, Kong Tian actually has similar suggestions to Ren Yi and others.

Just don't be impatient.

Now it's a steady and steady approach.

"Thank you Brother Kong, I know it."

Lin Xing expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart, and then he took out the script of "Evil Child" and said, "I came here today really thinking about letting you read this script."

"Okay, let me see."

Kong Tian took over the script and started reading it.

"Evil Child"?
This drama was quite interesting, and then Kong Tianze slowly read the script of "Evil Child".

While Kong Tian was reading the script, Lin Xing was drinking tea and looking at Weibo.

"The news broke that Zheng Zhou is producing a new variety show again after two years. It is reported that this time the lineup is very strong."

"Lin Xing and Zheng Zhou had a dinner last night. Could it be that Lin Xing is also going to appear on Zheng Zhou's new variety show??"

"Zheng Zhou, Ren Yi, and Lin Xing had a dinner together. It can be seen from the video that they had a great time meeting each other."

……

It seems that Zheng Zhou really belongs to the action group.

After all, the new variety show hasn't been decided yet, and it doesn't even have a name yet, but the announcement has already begun.

These so-called marketing account revelations and videos look like they were shot by someone in advance.

This is a form of momentum building in advance.

It's normal when you think about it. Zheng Zhou has always been the best at marketing, and his marketing has not failed yet.

Unlike other characters like Li Chuzi, Li Don't Want to Be Popular, Li Guangzhi, etc., they basically all turned over completely.

"As expected, artists will participate in variety shows as soon as they become popular. I thought Lin Xing was an exception before."

"Haha, Lin Xing participated in various variety shows after "Just Waiting for You" became popular. This is more normal." "Smile, Lin Xing had some kind of Buddhist character before. It's really a It broke in seconds.”

……

Among the breaking news topics on Weibo, some were scolding Lin Xing.

At first glance, these are basically rhythm black.

This is why many celebrities are reluctant to lose their fan clubs.

Because many times they will set up so-called 'anti-black' official blogs, and as long as there is a black word, no, to be precise, a critical word, then they will control the comments, fight against the black people, and accuse people to let everyone fight. .

Just like today's situation, if it were an extreme fan, they would have already started to criticize and fight at the same time.

Because in the eyes of fans, those who criticize us are our opponents.

In addition, many passers-by wearing black fans can actually easily see it.

Since July last year, Lin Xing has recorded three variety shows: "Let's Farm", "Comedy Is Laughing", and "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation". Among them, "Farm" is a regular guest, but "Comedy Is Laughing" "Laugh" Lin Xing recorded a few episodes.

Not to mention "Follow the Stars to Poverty Alleviation", Lin Xing really did it purely for charity.

In half a year, you only recorded so many variety shows. How come it became so popular and then you participated in various variety shows? ?
Lin Xing took a quick glance and understood that these usually belonged to other people who were imperceptibly influencing passers-by.

After all, passers-by don't know exactly how many variety shows Lin Xing has participated in.

Lin Xing did not take care of these things. He was prepared to prevent Sister Dao from deliberately taking care of them, otherwise he would really be sucked into the whirlpool of the fan circle again.

Lin Xing has always believed in one sentence, that is, anyone who manipulates public opinion will definitely be backlashed by public opinion.

No surprises.

So Lin Xing just scanned it.

"Teacher Lin, I still need you to repost the official video of "Portrait of a Murderer"."

At this time, the staff of "Portrait of a Murderer" sent another message to Lin Xing.

Yesterday’s final photos were posted.

But at the same time, "Portrait of a Murderer" is preparing to take advantage of the situation and release another wave of stills.

After all, the current "Portrait of a Murderer" is really a small one among the small ones. The traffic of other actors combined is not as much as Lin Xing's, so naturally Lin Xing needs help to forward it.

Lin Xing replied: "Roger it!"

He then planned the official V of "Portrait of a Murderer", and sure enough, the official V posted a 9-square still, in which Lin Xing was clearly in the C position.

In the stills, in addition to the male protagonists Lin Xing and Zhou Wei, there are also Wei Fei, Lin Miaoyin and others.

They are basically single-person stills.

Although it is impossible for all the actors in "Portrait of a Murderer" to tear up the show, because there is nothing to tear up.

Take Lin Xing and Zhou Wei for example. Not to mention the senses of passers-by, even Zhou Wei's few fans think that Lin Xing should be in the front.

Lin Xing forwarded the stills of the 9-square grid and wrote: "Stay tuned!"

"Wait!"

"Sit back and wait. Hurry up and join the group. Don't go filming a variety show."

"Brother Xing, stay away from variety shows and join the group as soon as possible."

"Career, career, brother Xing, you must cherish your current career."

……

Almost as soon as Lin Xing posted on Weibo, fans quickly left messages.

What's interesting is that fans have seen the revelations and gossip just now, and they hope that Lin Xing will join the group as soon as possible.

Fans who care are chaotic.

More importantly, if an artist records too many variety shows, it will really affect the performance.

Take Zheng Zhou for example. He used to have very strong acting skills and created a variety of characters. However, since he has participated in more variety shows, he now only plays some urban roles.

Because it’s easy for the audience to act like someone else.

But even if he plays a city character, like the father he played in "Learn Like Dad, Like Mom", everyone still feels that he is acting out.

In other words, it feels like watching him in a variety show.

This is why many fans don't like artists taking on too many variety shows.

But look at both sides of the matter. Some artists like to record some variety shows. After all, don’t you like this kind of relaxed and leisurely job that can make a lot of money? ?

What career are you fighting for?
Wouldn’t it be nice for him to work hard to make money when he can? ?
So why do many people think Kong Tian is stupid?
It's also due to this.

"Axing, I've finished reading."

Forty minutes later, after Kong Tian roughly read the script and then read it in detail, he looked up and said, "So, are you playing the role of Li Dong? Or are you playing the role of Ding Heping?"

This script is really good.

After all, Kong Tian understands scripts. In the past few years, he has helped many people read the scripts. Not only that, he has also helped too many people figure out their roles.

This is also part of performance coaching.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "Li Dong."

"That's okay. You can play a bigger role in this role. Although you are a little younger, you are basically about the same age as in the play. I'll just put on makeup to make you a little rougher..."

What Kong Tian is really worried about is: "This script is not good for your image."

"Brother Kong, my image of Zhou Bo in my last movie "The Big Brother" is not much better."

Lin Xing shook his head and smiled: "When it comes to acting, what kind of realistic image do you care about??"

"You can't say that. The advantage that your role of Zhou Bo brings to you is that you think you are a good villain, but at the same time, there are some crazy critics. Even if your fans don't like it, passers-by like it..."

Kong Tian analyzed it carefully: "But Li Dong's character is different. This character is yin and yang, hypocritical, spicy, and also bald. You may have never seen an actor with a bald head. That really ruins everything..."

Lin Xing laughed: "Brother Kong, I understand what you mean. You want to say that it would be a violation for me to take on this role and then take on an idol drama in the future, right?"

"That's what it means."

Kong Tiandao: "Not only idol dramas, but also elite characters. After all, the competition among male actors is fierce now. Have you ever seen actors in their 40s still jumping into ancient puppets? The filters will make their faces white. Saw it..."

"I don't really care about that."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly: "Firstly, I will definitely act in more dramas in the future. Secondly, I want the audience, the director, and the industry to see more of my possibilities."

"Well, then there's no problem."

Kong Tian smiled and handed the script to Lin Xing: "Although this is a web drama, I am quite optimistic about the script."

"So Brother Kong, are you interested in the role of Ding Heping?"

Lin Xing pushed the script back and asked with a smile.

Kong Tian: “???”
