This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 129: Turn on the camera, start broadcasting, are the garbage stars ready?
On March 3, Lin Xing and Kong Tian arrived in Hong Kong City together.

After a long period of preparation, "Bad Kid" is finally about to be officially launched.

When Lin Xing met with Deng Ying and the others before, Lan Lei said that since they still need to set up in Hong Kong City, the production of "Bad Kid" will not start later than the 20th.

that's the truth.

The final filming date for "Bad Kid" is March 3th.

Originally, Lin Xing wanted to fly directly to Hong Kong City after recording "Tonight's Drama", but the start of filming happened to be delayed by one day, and Lin Xing also wanted to meet Marvin and the others.

So I finally chose to fly to Hong Kong City with Kong Wen on the 19th.

"Teacher Lin, Teacher Kong."

As the director, Lan Lei came to pick up Lin Xing personally.

On the way, Lan Lei explained the situation in detail to Lin Xing.

"The current scenery has basically been arranged. At the same time, we are preparing to start filming on the 20th, and then spend a week conducting script discussions..."

Lan Lei explained to Lin Xing and Kong Tian: "At present, I feel relieved about the other actors in the crew, but the three children are still a little bit worse, so I thought we should study the script thoroughly first, and then..."

Lin Xing was not surprised by this.

Just as Lin Xing believed before, every director has his own style.

Now that he has joined the team, he will do his best to cooperate.

Kong Tian has no problem.

Kong Tian's role in this film is not small. Not only that, because he plays the father of the protagonist Ding Xi, he and Ding Xi, a young actor, also need to get familiar with each other first.

"Tonight, there is a small dinner party. Let's get to know each other first."

Lan Lei said to Kong Tianda: "Mr. Kong, you are the performance director after all. You have to give some suggestions and opinions to the young actors."

"Director Lan, you're welcome."

Kong Tian hurriedly said: "Everyone learns together, everything is for the script."

"Yes, it's all for the script."

Lan Lei deeply agrees with this.

An hour later, Lin Xing and Kong Tian settled in the hotel. They took a rest and then had a small dinner party in the evening.

The main creative lineup of "Bad Kid" was present at the scene.

Producer Deng Ying, screenwriter Ting Hai, director Lan Lei, assistant director Niu Xiao, in addition to Lin Xing met three young actors, these three can be regarded as the starring roles in "Evil Child".

But Lin Xing really didn’t know him.

There were several actors present who I knew, Lin Xing, but I couldn't name them for the moment, I just felt they were familiar.

This is a typical person who has filmed many movies and TV series. You know him, but you don't know his name.

Not only that, you can’t even remember what movies and TV series they filmed.

But just knowing them.

Next, Deng Ying introduced the three young actors themselves. These three had previous acting experience, but not much, and the reason for choosing them was that they were similar to the characters.

As for the remaining three actors, one plays Ding Xi's mother, one plays the old policeman in the play, and the third plays the young policeman.

Everyone probably got to know each other.

This meal is mainly about getting familiar with it in advance.

"Next, everyone will work together on this crew for a period of time."

Deng Ying said a few words, then picked up the wine glass and said: "I hope our drama will go well."

Everyone also raised their glasses.

After getting familiar with each other, the atmosphere became more lively.

Adult social interaction is boring for children after all. Lin Xing looked at the three young actors who looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do and shook his head slightly. He turned to Deng Ying and said: "Mr. Deng, let the children go first. Let’s go back. We’ll have plenty of opportunities when we start filming the script tomorrow. It’s not convenient for us to have a drink and chat with the kids here.”

"Teacher Lin is right."

Deng Ying listened to Lin Xing's words and said quickly: "I was negligent. Xiaotian, you should take them back to the hotel first."

Xiaotian was the casting director. He quickly stood up and took the three young actors out.

"Teacher Lin, Teacher Kong, I'd like to toast you."

Gong Qiang, who plays the old policeman in the play, picked up his wine glass and said.

"Teacher Gong, you're welcome."

Lin Xing also picked up his wine glass and said hurriedly: "I have to learn more from you on the set."

Kong Tian also smiled and said: "Teacher Gong, I should respect you."

Gong Qiang also belongs to the kind of person who has great acting skills and strong character creation, but just doesn't have many opportunities.

Such a person still has many things in common with Kong Tian.

Lin Xing found that neither Tong Jing nor Dong Xia attended the dinner party.

It seems that he is indeed a resource person, and the treatment he enjoys is really extraordinary.

This dinner party was almost at 10 o'clock in the evening, and no one drank too much. It was almost the same as the previous dinner parties of "Sweeping Crime" and "Portrait of a Murderer".

It's nothing more than for everyone to meet in advance and get familiar with each other to facilitate subsequent cooperation.

After returning to the hotel, Lin Xing and Sister Dao made a phone call and also explained the situation.

"This crew is still reliable so far. These actors are relatively capable, but Ah Xing, sometimes the more this kind of crew is, the more weird things happen..."

Sister Dao once again warned: "Don't open the door to anyone at night. No matter if it's a female artist or a male artist, don't open the door to them. If you have anything, Xiao Nan can tell me at any time..."

At the end of the sentence, Sister Dao added: "You should stay away from those two resource guys, so as not to get dirty."

"Okay, Sister Dao, you don't have to remind me every time, I still know it in my heart."

Lin Xing was a little dumbfounded: "I will not give others an opportunity."

"I believe you on this, but Ah Xing, you have to know that some artists are really willing to do anything just to be famous."

Sister Dao said seriously: "So we are careful not to make any big mistakes."

Lin Xing agrees with this.

After a brief chat, Sister Dao talked about the promotion of "Drawing Night". She believed that the current promotion effect of this drama was good, but it did not attract much interest from the audience.

In addition, data shows that Lin Xing is the first associated word in "Portrait of a Murderer".

Of the many people who clicked on the hot search for "Portrait of a Murderer", 80.00% were directed at Lin Xing, [-]% were out of interest, and the remaining [-]% were just passers-by.

"90.00% of the predictions for "Portrait of a Murderer" are that it will be a hit, and [-]% is that it will be tepid, which is a little better than a hit."

Sister Dao analyzed rationally: "Big data will not lie. Ah Xing, you must be mentally prepared for this drama. I'm afraid many people will step on you hard."

"It's okay."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said: "I'm afraid those who really trample on me are just some black fans. Passers-by can only criticize a few words, and they will be gone in a few days. Don't take it too seriously. Besides, big data will not lie to people, but Big data is artificial intelligence, it is not artificial after all..."

If big data were really so accurate, there wouldn't be so many street dramas, let alone so many counterattack dramas.

Not to mention that Panda Video relies on big data to analyze which dramas are worthy and which dramas are not worthy. In the end, it almost became a fun person in 2023.

After all, data is just a reference.

I haven’t read a single script, and I can tell you just from the cast, director, screenwriter, and a few trailers that I’m going to be a hit. Even if Penguin Video has read the script, I don’t have a deep understanding of it at all.

Lin Xing thinks this kind of big data is too broad.

Maybe it's not as good as fortune-telling.Lin Xing doesn't understand other dramas, but in "Portrait of a Murderer" Lin Xing doesn't believe in the fortune-telling big data.

The next day, January 3th.

"Bad Kid" is officially launched.

The startup ceremony cannot be said to be simple, it can only be said to be relatively low-key.

There were no media reporters at the scene, only the main creators of "Bad Kid".

After a set of procedures, everyone took a group photo together.

"The production of "Bad Kid" is off to a good start!"

The crowd held banners and shouted loudly.

Lin Xing met Tong Jing and Dong Xia at the opening ceremony.

Because Tong Jing was going to play his wife in the play, Lin Xing paid more attention to her. Lin Xing had already checked her resume before.

Since her debut, she has almost been playing tricks. Her resources have improved a lot since the year before last. She has started to play the third and second female roles, and she has gradually become familiar to the audience.

"Hello, Teacher Lin, I would like to ask for your advice."

After the booting ceremony, Tong Jing took the initiative to come to Lin Xing and stretched out her hand.

"Teacher Tong, you're welcome. Let's make progress together."

Lin Xing stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with Tong Jing, then quickly let go.

Tong Jing still had a sweet smile on her face: "Okay, let's make progress together."

After the opening ceremony, everyone came together to a studio with a temporary set-up. In addition to the studio, there were some shooting places that required interior scenes.

For example, the mountain climbing scene will basically be completed here.

When the time comes, just use post-production.

"I already understand my role quite thoroughly. I think this week's script study is a waste of time..."

On the other side, Dong Xia calmly said to Lan Lei: "Director, when the shooting of my scene officially starts, just give me a call."

Lan Lei said: "Mr. Dong, the thing is like this, because your character has changed a lot, so we will see if there is a better way to show it when we are reading the script. I think..."

"Director, are you teaching me acting?"

Dong Xia suddenly said.

Lan Lei: "??"

"I started acting when I was 16 years old. Before I was 16 years old, I also accepted many commercials. I have known how to face the camera since I was 10 years old, and how to better show the charm of my character..."

Dong Xia said slightly calmly: "I don't need anyone to teach me how to play."

Dong Xia glanced at the time and said, "I still have something to do. Please call me in advance when my scene will be filmed."

Nima!

Seeing Dong Xia leave immediately after finishing speaking, Lan Lei couldn't help but curse.

Lin Xing looked at this scene not far away and was also a little confused.

Are resource guys so awesome? ?
"This Dong Xia has always had a bad temper."

Tong Jing said from the side: "She is a very selfish person."

Lin Xing glanced at Tong Jing, but didn't say much.

The crew is a mixed bag, and what Sister Dao said is right, that is, the smaller the crew, the more things go wrong.

Just like a crew like "Bad Kid" can actually gather two resource stars. It seems that Tong Jing, a resource star, can at least have a decent face, but Dong Xia really doesn't give face.

And Dong Xia really does what he says.

During the week of script study, basically all the actors of "Evil Child" participated. In order to make the filming smoother, Lan Lei also specially asked some supporting actors to come and listen.

Not only that, Kong Tian did hold an acting training class privately. Not only did he talk about the play with three young actors, Kong Tian even talked about it with other young actors.

Lin Xing's script reading this week helped him understand Lan Lei's work style.

Standard detail control.

Lan Lei will mark every scene after the filming starts, and he will take out some scenes that require improvisation for everyone to discuss during the script reading.

How can I take better pictures?
You must know that sometimes there may be only two sentences in the script, but as an actor, what you need is to act these two sentences realistically, act well, and even be able to improvise on the spot.

This is sometimes what script study is all about.

While Lin Xing was studying the script on the set of "Bad Kid", the online promotion of "Portrait of a Murderer" gradually started to gain momentum.

However, what is really popular on the Internet right now is the episode of "Tonight's Drama".

"It's going to be aired soon. I watched the trailer and it's really good."

"Yes, the three crews actually appeared on "Tonight's Drama" together, and they all have people I like."

"Who says it's not the case? I think Zhao Yining is my favorite among these people."

……

There are currently only three days left until the premiere of "Tonight's Drama", only three days left until the premiere of "Portrait of a Murderer", and four days until the premiere of "A Good Man".

It is also 4 days before the premiere of "The Right Way to Open Independence".

The three crews appeared on "Tonight's Drama" together, and coincidentally, the three crews started broadcasting at almost the same time.

In the past few days, "The Right Way to Be Independent" has been promoted with full intensity. This drama is really hotly searched and has been on the Internet for a long time, and many of them are so-called popular topics nowadays.

Like full-time housewives, like women who need to improve themselves, like the so-called scumbag comments, and the so-called raising children, etc.

Anyway, you don’t even need to spend money to buy hot searches for this kind of topic. As long as you create a topic, someone will discuss it.

For example, today's hot search topic is: "My husband abused me domestically. Should I have a second child to tie up his heart?"

This topic captures the essence of clickbait.

It just so happens that the trailer for "The Correct Way to Be Independent" contains the line: "A woman cannot hold a man's heart by giving birth to a child."

If you want to say that this was not agreed upon, who would believe it? ?
Many times, behind many topics between men and women on Weibo is a battle for traffic and interests. Most people just need to use this traffic.

In this regard, Lin Xing advised Marvin not to use such topics to promote the show.

Those who rely on the antagonism between men and women to promote dramas are often the most vulnerable to backlash.

This "Portrait of a Murderer" talks more about women, but this is done in a neutral way, rather than an extreme statement like: "Men are [-]% criminals."

This will ultimately just drive passersby away.

Because when passersby watch a drama, they often don’t want to argue with each other. They just want to chat with everyone about the plot. If you can relate to many plots, they may give you some comfort.

They are all relatively mild.

Only haters and fans will hedge.

For example, when "Portrait of a Murderer" was wrapping up, some people thought that the show would be a hit. At that time, some people said that if the show didn't hit the show, he would stand on his head and shit on the live broadcast.

Sometimes, the more extreme it is, the more market it has.

No, the 'garbage star' who said this was almost as if he was Lao Wang 2.0. He actually did the same as Lao Wang did in "Sweep the Crime".
