This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 123: Resource guys, let’s get together
There are three important female characters in "Evil Child". One is Li Dong's wife, one is Ding Heping's ex-wife, and the other is Ding Heping's current wife.

During the Spring Festival, Lin Xing knew that the crew of "Evil Child" was almost ready. Regarding the actors, Lin Xing did not interfere too much except for introducing Kong Wen to audition.

After all, this is not Lin Xing's job in the first place. Casting is a matter for the director, screenwriter, and producer.

Lin Xing just hopes that the right actors will be chosen when casting "Evil Child", that's all.

In this regard, Lin Xing is extremely powerful.

Screenwriters, directors, producers, actors, lighting, photography and other departments all perform their respective duties and work together to make a drama successful. This is what Lin Xing said in an interview.

Actors alone cannot produce a good work.

Even if your acting skills are amazing, it won't be of any use. Just look at how many so-called bad actors have acted in bad movies.

When filming "Portrait of a Murderer", Lin Xing just kept doing his job as an actor.

Today, Lin Xing follows the same principle in the drama "Bad Kid".

Do your job well, don't make blind comparisons, let alone give random orders.

This is easy to say, but it is difficult for many people to do it after gaining power, not just in the entertainment industry.

Because many people mistakenly attribute their success to their own abilities, and coupled with the praise from people around them after success, doesn't it make them more and more confident? ?

"President Deng..."

Lin Xing did not accept these two resumes. He just smiled and said: "I have said before that I believe you are more professional than me in terms of casting. As long as the actor is suitable for the role, I don't have many requirements. .”

"Teacher Lin, you'd better take a look."

Deng Ying said with some embarrassment: "These two actors are quite special, so we still want to listen to your opinion."

"Oh??"

Lin Xing was a little surprised. He took the resume handed over by Deng Ying.

But this is more of an introduction to the actor than an actor's resume.

One is named Tong Jing and the other is named Dong Xia.

The two people are about the same age, one is 25 years old and the other is 26 years old.

Tong Jing graduated from the Imperial Film Academy, and Dong Xia graduated from the Imperial Dance Academy.

In addition to this explanation, there are also some film and television dramas in which the two of them have participated, and the two of them have acted in more literary films.

But Lin Xing was not familiar with these two people.

So now Deng Ying asks Lin Xing to choose which one, and he really doesn’t know how to choose?
"Mr. Deng, Ting Hai, Director Lan, who do you think is more suitable between Tong Jing and Dong Xia?"

Lin Xing raised his head and asked: "And Mr. Deng, what do you mean when you say these two people are special?"

"The main thing is to catch a piece."

Deng Ying said and introduced the situation, but he didn't hide it.

Besides, this is very common in the entertainment industry.

Of these two people, one is Hao Tao's girlfriend, and the other is favored by the money maker.

"Teacher Lin, don't worry, there is no problem with their acting skills. The current situation is that they both want to hone their skills in this script. The role of Qiao Li is not suitable for them at the moment..."

Deng Ying said to Lin Xing: "So I mainly want to ask for your opinion."

Okay.

It's not like Lin Xing didn't meet relevant people in "Just Waiting for You", "Anti-Gangsters", and "Portrait of a Murderer". Just like Li Jingjing, wasn't she the one supported by the financial backers?
Even in serious dramas like "Anti-Gangster", didn't Feng Wei's son Feng Qing still come in through connections? ?
Lin Xing had no objections to these.

There is no absolute fairness in the circle.

Just like some actresses may not be able to play the leading role after ten years of wasting time, while some actresses may play the lead role within one year of their debut.

Everyone is working hard, but in different directions.

Some practice skills hard, and some practice skills hard.

However, Lin Xing did not expect to meet two of them in the drama "Evil Kid".

"I'm just curious, why are they willing to act in such an online drama?"

However, Lin Xing did not talk about the problem of the characters. Since Deng Ying said that there is no problem with the two people's acting skills, then he has nothing to worry about.

He was just a little puzzled.

"Bad Kid" is not a popular script, so how come two related actors suddenly appear in it?

What's more, the role of Gu Ning, let alone the relationship between these two people, is probably not even wanted by female artists in their 30s or even 40s.

Gu Ning is the mother of the child.

For many female artists in the entertainment industry, they don't act, let alone play children. Some female artists often play girls even in their 40s.

Unless they really have nothing to play, they will never take on the role of 'mother of a child'.

Besides, with a girlfriend of Hao Tao and a financial backer, shouldn’t she be filming a TV series? ?

"This time the assistant director of the crew is Hao Tao's student. I invited him to come to the crew to assist Lan Lei..."

Deng Ying explained the situation.

Tong Jing and Dong Xia are indeed friendly actors.

For the "Bad Kid" crew, these two actors have certain acting skills and a certain degree of popularity, plus they bring "capital" into the group.

This really couldn't be more appropriate.

"The two characters Gu Ning and Qin Ru have different proportions of scenes, and Gu Ning's role has far less space than Qin Ru's."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said: "So, you can just choose, as long as it is based on suitability. I still say the same, I have no objection."

"OK then."

Deng Ying said nothing more, as long as Lin Xing had no objection. He mainly wanted to get a vaccination with Lin Xing today.

"Mr. Lin, the crew's preparations have been basically completed. We are preparing to head to Hong Kong City for the set tomorrow..."

Lan Lei on the side said: "It will be ready to start in the middle of this month."

"Okay, that means you will join the group around the 15th, right?"

Lin Xing asked.

This is the reason why Lin Xing came here today.

Because the crew of "Bad Kid" is about to start shooting, Lin Xing needs to discuss with them the time to join the cast. Lin Xing's next schedule will basically be reserved for "Bad Kid".

Lan Lei nodded lightly: "Yes, it won't be after the 20th at the latest, because we need to arrange some scenes first..."

Next, let’s talk about some details of the specific shooting.

Most of the scenes of "Bad Kid" were filmed in Hong Kong City, but the mountain climbing scenes in the play were not shot in Hong Kong City. The crew thought Liufeng Mountain in Guizhou Province was good.

Half an hour later, Lin Xing left Panda Video.

"Okay, since Lin Xing has no objection, then Lan Lei, tell me, between Tong Jing and Dong Xia, who will play Gu Ning? Who will play Qin Ru??"

Deng Ying asked Lan Lei.

Lan Lei thought for a while and said: "I suggest Tong Jing to play Gu Ning and Dong Xia to play Qin Ru. Although Dong Xia did not graduate from a film school, she started making movies when she was 16 years old. Her acting skills are still better than Tong Jing... …”

Deng Ying said: "Then let's arrange it like this."

……

As for Lin Xing, after leaving Panda Video, he went to Jinfeng Film and Television.

Compared to the polite manners of people like Deng Ying, Ting Hai, and Lan Lei, Lin Xing's arrival at Jinfeng Film and Television was more natural.

"Axing, I originally thought of getting together after the new year, but it was always in the later stages of "Portrait of a Murderer"..."

Marvin saw Lin Xing laughing and said, "Look at us, do we look quite vicissitudes of life?"

This is true.

Ma Wen, Liu Zhou, and Wang Yi are indeed more vicissitudes of life than the others.

After all, they have been working crazily on the later stage of "Portrait of a Murderer" for a while, and everyone is staying up late and working overtime.

That's crazy volume.

"When the post-production of "Portrait of a Murderer" is completed, we must have a good two days of rest. No one in the production team is working so hard."

Liu Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "I have been living and dining in the company almost all this time. Wei Fei almost thought I had someone outside."

"Hahaha, Lao Liu, you are exaggerating."

Marvin laughed: "But I do have to thank Feifei for trying her best to send us food these days and help us improve our lives."

"Axing, let's take a look at the two episodes of our rough cut. What do you think?"

Liu Zhou turned to the staff and said, "Get ready to play it."

In the conference room, Lin Xing watched the rough cut of "Portrait of a Murderer".

This is basically the case for most film and television dramas, that is, the first version is a rough cut, and then the cuts are streamlined based on the first version.

Each episode is 55 minutes long.

Basically, it’s not much different from the two episodes in the script.

"How about it??"

After the two episodes were played, Liu Zhou smiled at Lin Xing and asked, "Can you give me some advice?"

"Director Liu, I think the editing has been very good, and the pace is also very fast. All the feelings we wanted when filming came out."

Lin Xing thought for a moment and said, "But I personally think the pace could be tighter. These first two episodes are mainly about two cases, and I don't think there is any problem at all."

"Well, I have the same idea. Excluding the opening and ending of the film, 55 minutes is actually a bit long. I will cut out some details next..."

Liu Zhou nodded slightly and said, "We should be able to catch up with the broadcast at the end of last month."

“Starting at the end of the month??”

Lin Xing was a little surprised: "So fast??"

"Well, Penguin Video originally gave this drama an A-level rating. Neither they nor the market recognized it. It was precisely because of inviting you that the rating was raised to A+."

Marvin explained helplessly: "But to be honest, we have no choice in terms of publicity resources. Even if we release it in a few months, we don't have much publicity resources. Rather than doing this, it would be better to start broadcasting in advance."

After all, "Portrait of a Murderer" is not an S-level drama like "The Dark Side", so the publicity before the show was almost complete.

Again, at present, the biggest influencer of "Portrait of a Murderer" is Lin Xing, and their biggest support during promotion is also Lin Xing.

Ma Wen had been talking to Lin Xing about this from beginning to end.

"I'm trying to get more resources from Penguin Video in the next few days. No matter what, we have to give us some publicity when "Portrait of a Murderer" is launched."

Marvin continued: "We can't parachute naked, otherwise we will really fail."

Nowadays, film and television dramas are all about wine and fear of deep alleys. Many times, if you want to change your life simply by word of mouth, it cannot be said to be impossible, but it is too difficult. What you need is a solid enough script and good enough acting skills. There are also points for publicity.

The current "Portrait of Murderer" has these, but having them doesn't mean you can handle them.

So far, people are not as interested in the drama "Portrait of a Murderer" as Lin Xing himself.

If Lin Xing reposts the Weibo post of the official V of "Portrait of a Murderer", it can easily exceed 3000, but if Lin Xing does not repost it, it will be difficult for the retweets to exceed [-].

There is no traffic, no review control, and no fandom quarrel. From this point of view, the drama "Portrait of a Murderer" is quite clean, but it is too clean.

There is no topic, let alone ordinary passers-by, not many people in the industry are willing to discuss "Portrait of a Murderer".

In other words, if "Portrait of a Murderer" does not include Lin Xing, then the existence of this web drama will be almost zero.

“When will the scheduled preview be released??”

Lin Xing asked with a frown.

"315."

Liu Zhou said: "The trailer is the one you just saw, showing some situations after suffering from telecommunications fraud."

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "That's okay."

Lin Xing also understood the anxiety of the creators of "Portrait of a Murderer", but he finally said: "But no matter how fast we go, we must not sacrifice quality. Since we are going to make this drama a refined drama, we must Be worthy of the audience.”

"That's for sure. I, Marvin, Wang Yi, and we are all watching the editing the whole time."

Liu Zhou nodded lightly and said, "Even Wei Fei discussed editing with us after delivering the meal. Everyone's opinion was that no matter what difficulties we face, we must make this drama a good one. "

"Yes, Axing, don't worry, we won't waste our efforts."

Marvin nodded lightly: "I just want to tell everyone with the web drama "Portrait of a Murderer" that the quality of web dramas is no worse than that of TV series."

The current main creators Liu Zhou, Ma Wen, Wang Yi and others are like chicken blood.

No one is looking forward to seeing the show with the audience more than they are.

From preparation, to casting, to location selection, to setting, and even to all the big and small things on the crew, especially the conflicts among the crew, the accidents of the actors, etc., Marvin can be said to be both a father and a mother at the same time.

What happened to A+? ?

Although the evaluation is very low, Marvin believes in the quality of this drama. He believes that "Portrait of a Murderer" will definitely be recognized by the audience.

The audience is not stupid. Everyone can see whether you have put your heart into filming the drama.

"If there are no accidents, our online drama will be broadcast on Saturday, March 3th. I have already coordinated with Penguin Video on this date, and Ah Xing, I am afraid I will have to trouble you to record a program in the middle of the month..." Marvin said towards Lin Xing.

"Oh??"

Lin Xing said 'Oh', and then he looked at Marvin: "What program??"

"It's the variety show of "Tonight's Drama". You, Zhou Wei, and Ning Rong are participating together..."

Ma Wen explained to Lin Xing: "When this variety show starts on March 3, it will coincide with the premiere of "Portrait of a Murderer"."

"Okay, tell me the time in advance, because I will join the group soon."

Lin Xing nodded slightly: "I need to change my time."

"Still that one??"

Marvin said a little uncertainly: "What 'child'?"

Lin Xing said: "Evil Child."

"Yes, yes, "Evil Child". I have been helping with the post-production of "Portrait of a Murderer" recently, so I haven't paid much attention to this..."

Marvin patted his head and said, "Axing, your drama selections are often surprising."

"I believe in Ah Xing's vision."

Liu Zhou has some confidence in Lin Xing: "Although I haven't read the script "Evil Child", I think it should be a realistic script, and especially in the past few years, people will discuss more about children's affairs. Some."

"Old Liu is right. There is indeed a market for realistic themes in the past two years, but realistic themes are not easy to write about, let alone photograph. If they are shallow, people think they are fake, and if they are dark, they are not easy to write. , and everyone thought it was too much..."

Marvin said: "There is a degree, but this degree is often difficult to grasp. There is also Ah Xing. I think it is a waste to really delve into realism themes based on your face."

Just like when Lin Xing left the drama "The Boss" in favor of filming "Anti-Gang", Ren Yi said in a weird way: "Isn't it good to just lie down and make money? Why do you have to make a real drama to find the punishment? "

From Marvin's point of view, he really felt that Lin Xing could make a lot of money by filming a few idol dramas.

"When I took on "Portrait of a Murderer," I wasn't thinking about changing careers. It was because this script deeply moved me. What's more important is that all the scripts handed to my agents in the industry were from domineering CEOs."

"Then in the past two months, since the launch of "Anti-Gangster", all the scripts my agent received were for villains, and some of them even casually included a Zhou Bo character..."

"Being an actor, some bonuses can be eaten, but some bonuses cannot be eaten."

"My current popularity is not stable. It really depends on the support of my peers and the popularity of the two dramas "Just Waiting for You" and "Anti-Gangster". But I want to destroy the reputation I have accumulated with so much effort." It might just take a bad movie to drop.”

……

Lin Xinghun said nonchalantly to Ma Wen, Liu Zhou, Wang Yi and Wei Fei who came to deliver the meal.

"Axing, if these words of yours were said by others, then I would think that he is pretending and hypocritical. You can't be shameless in the entertainment industry, and you can't be blushing if you want to be shameless."

Wei Fei put the food on the table and said with a smile: "But this is what you said, Axing. I believe you."

It's just like what Wei Fei said when the wedding banquet of "The Painter Seeks Murder" was over.

She believes that Lin Xing will definitely continue to be popular.

For nothing else, just because of his sobriety and his choice.

It's not difficult to be an actor, and it's not difficult to be a good actor, but it's not that difficult to be a good actor who can restrain temptation and his own desires.

The water in this circle is very deep, let alone Lin Xing, even some actors may not be able to grasp it.

"Thank you, Miss Fei."

Lin Xing said with a smile.

"You don't need to thank me. I just said what I think. And I think all of us should thank you."

Wei Fei waved her hand and said, "If we want to promote "Portrait of a Murderer" these days, we can only ride on your popularity."

"It's hard to say that it's too late. In my opinion, "Portrait of a Murderer" is my second starring role in so many years. Of course, I hope that this drama will get better and better."

Lin Xing shook his head and smiled: "I am the protagonist, and it is my duty to promote this drama!"

This is work.

Just like Lin Xing's conscientious publicity before and after the launch of "Anti-Gangster", since you have done this, you have an obligation to do it well.

Comparing to the three leading male protagonists in "The Big Brother", Lin Xing is the leading male protagonist in "Portrait of a Murderer".

He doesn't need to carry the drama for "On the Road" because he is a supporting character.

As long as he does his job well and can bring some popularity, some second creations, and some discussions to the TV series "Anti-Gangster", then Lin Xing will have successfully completed his mission.

But "Portrait of a Murderer" is not.

This drama is a two-male protagonist model, and regardless of the current official V promotion and other materials released, basically everyone thinks that the leading male lead in this drama is Lin Xing, and the following one is Lin Xing. It's Zhou Wei.

Why did everyone think that Lin Xing should not film this web series?
Isn't it because since Lin Xing plays the male lead, he needs to be responsible for the drama and at the same time he needs to be able to carry it.

But no one believes that Lin Xing can carry it now.

This web drama is completely different from Lin Xing's previous dramas from the very beginning.

Lin Xing stayed at Jinfeng Film and Television all afternoon.

In addition to the editing situation of "Portrait of a Murderer", there is also the subsequent publicity situation.

For example, a scheduled trailer.

As the first scheduled trailer, this really cannot be taken carelessly.

So in the conference room, Lin Xing, Liu Zhou, Wang Yi, Ma Wen, and Wei Fei had a very intense discussion all afternoon.

In the end, this finalized trailer is a 5-minute finalized trailer.

In the evening, everyone had a meal together.

After all, the last time everyone got together was at the wedding banquet.

"I wish our next drama a good success."

"I don't want a big explosion, but I want to get out of the circle."

"Hopefully the audience will like it."

……

It is no different from what everyone thought at the finals banquet.

If a drama is not broadcast, no one knows what it will be like.
Sometimes, many dramas that you think are sure to hit the public will not watch them as soon as they are released, but some dramas that you think are sure to hit the streets may become popular works.

This is the magic of the entertainment industry.

There are always miracles.

Ma Wen, Liu Zhou, Wang Yi, and Wei Fei have been really busy lately, sometimes staying up all night trying to finish the show quickly.

In fact, everyone has similar ideas.

As long as this web drama is aired, half the battle is won.

If this web drama can make it out of the entertainment industry, then I will be satisfied.

Everyone’s requirements are not high.

As for "Portrait of a Murderer" reaching the level of popularity as "Sweeping Out", that is something that is unimaginable.

Because it is impossible.

Even if the entertainment industry is a place where miracles happen, it must comply with the principle of miracles.

On the way back, Lin Xing talked to Sister Dao.

"315 scheduled trailer??"

Sister Dao nodded slightly: "It's not surprising. Most of them will choose the day of 315. Although the popularity will be somewhat dispersed by then, if the popularity is successful, it will still be quite good."

"Well, and "Evil Child" should start shooting around mid-March. The crew didn't make it too clear today..."

Lin Xing said: "I just gave a general idea, and there are also things about actors..."

"It is true that these two actors are somewhat related, but to say the least, how many people in the entertainment industry are not related??"

Sister Dao shook her head and said: "But it is said that Dong Xia has a bad personality and has caused trouble on the set before. If you act opposite her, you should really be careful."

“Dong Xia??”

Lin Xing said with a smile: "As long as her acting is fine and everything else is fine, it's not what we should be concerned about. Besides, if she really makes trouble, it will be Deng Ying who has a headache. After all, she chose the person. "

"That's true, but we still have to be more careful when we start filming "Bad Kid"..."

Sister Dao suddenly felt that the crew of "Evil Child" might be more dangerous than the crew of "Sweeping Out" and "Portrait of a Murderer".

Especially for a popular male artist like Lin Xing.

In "Portrait of a Murderer", Lin Xing is already the absolute leading male, and in the web drama "Evil Child", it is not to mention that, whether it is popularity or influence, Lin Xing is For once it was really far ahead!
In the next few days, Lin Xing took time to come to Kong Tian's studio.

On the one hand, Lin Xing had to prepare in advance for joining the crew of "Evil Kid". On the other hand, Lin Xing also asked Kong Tian for advice on the script.

During this period of time, Lin Xing was not idle, and as for Lao Wang, he was not idle either.

How to say it? ?
He originally planned to come back on April 4st, and then tried every means to give Lin Xing a little shock.

But later, with the popularity on Weibo and Lao Wang discovering that Lin Xing's data was lagging behind overall, Lao Wang decided to come back early.

The node 315 is the most suitable for Lao Wang.

That is to say, you can take advantage of the popularity of 315, and at the same time, you can tell everyone that you are still the old king who fights against fake traffic.

Since the launch of "Anti-Gangster", after Lao Wang was beaten by Lao Zhong, he basically tried every means to defend himself, but at that time, "Anti-Gangster" was too brave , Lao Wang was almost chased and beaten.

Then, Lao Wang made a strategic retreat. He simply stopped for a while, and at the same time, he started to raise other alt accounts at Station B and Weishi.

It has been almost two months since "The Dark Side" aired. Although the popularity is still there, it is far less exaggerated than before.

At this time, Lao Wang felt that he could make a comeback.

Lin Xing's data has shrunk, and Lao Wang's own data has also shrunk.

As I said before, Lao Wang also wants to eat properly.

Now that he has stopped updating for almost two months, he has lost a lot of money.

But he knew that he had to think of a complete support, that is, even if he criticized Lin Xing, everyone must be convinced.

In this regard, Lao Wang is still professional.

For more than two months, he carefully prepared various information about Lin Xing, including what Lin Xing was like? ?
So on 315, the official V of "Lao Wang Watching Movies" posted a video again after more than two months. In this video, Lao Wang talked about some of today's TV dramas in detail. Phenomenon.

For example, many TV dramas have so-called trick scripts.

For example, the omnipotent mistress will definitely appear in urban TV dramas, and they often need to rely on the mistress to promote the plot.

For example, the second male lead is often a scumbag, or even a scumbag heroine, and they will do whatever they want to make everyone cruel.

Another example is parents' preference for boys over girls. The focus is to portray the parents as sucking blood. Don't worry about whether it is reasonable or not. Just buy a hot search topic like 'parents' controlling desire' and it will resonate with everyone in an instant. .

……

In the 20-minute long video, 'Lao Wang Watching Movies' did some homework. At the end, he changed the topic and focused on Lin Xing.

For example, Lin Xing's acting skills are far from as good as everyone thinks, but it's just because of Lin Xing's role.

Another example is the recent so-called pranksters who boasted about Lin Xing's acting skills. Basically, if you dare to boast about your acting skills among a bunch of veteran actors, then you really don't have the upper hand.

Lao Wang has learned to be smarter since he came back, but this time he was flattering Lin Xing in vain.

He said that Lin Xing's acting skills are still good. He thought that Lin Xing's acting skills were not good before because he was biased, but.

Correct.

There is a but in everything.

This Lao Wang made a "but" move in the video, and he almost caused a wave of hatred.

In short, the real way to troll someone is not to catch them and scold them. On the contrary, when you troll someone, you have to praise them first. You have to make everyone think that this person has certain abilities, and then inadvertently criticize this person. The shortcomings are infinitely magnified.

Lin Xing plays a supporting role in "Anti-Gangster", and his role as Zhou Bo made many people gnash their teeth with hatred. Many passers-by admit this.

In addition, since the finale of "Sweep the Gangster", many UP owners have made secondary creations of Zhou Bo, and this secondary creation has also been liked by many people.

So Lao Wang has learned the lesson from before. He no longer criticizes Lin Xing endlessly. He praises him first and then suppresses him.

"Hahahaha, Lao Wang is finally back. Damn it, life without you is really painful."

"That's right, that's right. It's still the old Wang I'm familiar with. This time he comes back and it's full of bloodshed."

"Lao Wang did a great job in this video, and he really analyzed urban dramas very thoroughly."

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, it will be great if Lao Wang comes back. The main thing I want to know now is, do you dare to insult Lin Xing again in the future???"

……

Almost immediately after the video of "Lao Wang Watching Movies" was released, many of Lao Wang's fans reposted it one after another, and these people also have deep filters for Lao Wang.

As mentioned before, Lao Wang started his career by spraying the so-called traffic fan circles, but his comment area and forwarding area have also fallen into a fan circle-style information cocoon.

No, as soon as Lao Wang came back from watching the movie, many people were beating gongs and drums to congratulate him.

It's a win in another sense.

And almost at the same time that "Lao Wang Watching Movies" released this complaint video, "Portrait of the Murderer" also released a "release preview"
