This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 167: Be a fan and be a human being (please subscribe and vote)

Lin Xing looked at the woman in front of him in shock for two seconds, and then said hurriedly: "Hello, Mr. Hong."

The person in front of her was none other than Hong Jingjing from the TV series production department of Yiying Group. At the celebration banquet of "Portrait of a Murderer", Wei Fei specially took Lin Xing and introduced her to Hong Jingjing.

"Are you here to audition??"

Hong Jingjing looked a little strange.

"Yes, I'm here to audition for the crew of "The Powerful Man"..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "I have already made an appointment with them."

Looking at Lin Xing, Hong Jingjing asked: "Are you auditioning for the role of the prince?"

"Yes, it's the role of the prince."

Lin Xing nodded slightly.

"This character..."

Hong Jingjing thought for a while, then whispered to Lin Xing: "Don't have too much hope."

"Thank you, Mr. Hong."

Lin Xing understood instantly. He smiled and said, "I understand."

This is not a place for small talk, so Hong Jingjing didn't say much, but just said that we would talk again when we have the opportunity.

Everyone is smart, and Lin Xing almost understood it after Hong Jingjing hinted.

Later, the staff came to lead Lin Xing to audition.

From the beginning to the end, both the staff and the on-site casting director and assistant screenwriter were very polite to Lin Xing. After trying out a scene, he asked Lin Xing to go back and wait for notification.

In less than 10 minutes, Lin Xing only acted for a short period and then it was over.

After leaving the hotel, Lin Xing told Sister Dao about the situation. Sister Dao said helplessly on the other end of the phone: "Sure enough, it is true that what the industry said about this role has already been confirmed, but because this cake is so good. , so everyone wants to give it a try.”

What if? ?

Just because of this emergency, many actors came to audition.

You must know that the drama "Strike" has been coveted by countless people during the preparation stage. It is such a big IP, and the production company of this drama is Yiying.

There is a saying in the industry that if a film is produced by Art Film, it must be a high-quality product.

Of course, this statement is actually promoted by Yiying itself. The TV series produced by Yiying are indeed very strong, and several TV series are directly phenomenal works.

However, it is not that the dramas produced by Yiying are free of criticism, and the dramas that are popular are also silent, and no one even discusses them.

Under such a situation, don't we just remember that Art Film only produces high-quality products? ?
"Axing, where are you??"

Half an hour later, Lin Xing received a call from Wei Fei on his way back.

"Sister Fei, I'm getting ready to go home."

Lin Xing asked: "Have you returned to the imperial capital?"

"Not yet, I estimate I won't be back until next month..."

Wei Fei said: "I just heard from Jingjing that I met you, and I also heard that you went to audition for "Strike"..."

Okay.

Hong Jingjing was really best friends with Wei Fei. Within an hour, Wei Fei knew it.

"You can't play the role of prince. This is for Niu Xiang..."

Wei Fei said: "I asked Jingjing. Jingjing has nothing to do, but are you interested in King Wu, another character in "The King of Powers"?"

If the prince is the second male, then the King of Wu is the fourth male.

This character has very few roles. To put it bluntly, he is considered a standout at most.

Lin Xing shook his head and said: "Thank you, Sister Fei, but there is no room for performance in that role, so forget it."

"Well? Have you seen it?"

Wei Fei asked in surprise.

Lin Xing laughed: "Sister Fei, there are not many words in the original work of "Strike". After I knew that I was going to audition yesterday, I read it in one afternoon. If I had said that before, maybe I would have accepted Wu Wang's role, but now..."

At this point, Lin Xing paused: "It's not necessary."

"really."

Wei Fei said: "I think it's condescending for you to play the second male lead. You have to know that you already have two popular dramas in your hands."

"Sister Fei, you are joking."

Lin Xing is still aware of it: "There is still a certain distance between online dramas and TV dramas now, let alone a big production like "The Power of Man"."

"It's okay, Ah Xing. It's not just the big-budget movie "The King of Powers" on the market. What's more, it's their loss if they don't use you..."

Wei Fei shook her head and said, "Even Niu Xiang's acting skills can't keep up with yours."

After a few more chats, Wei Fei indeed regarded Lin Xing as her younger brother, and it was obvious that she was really straight-tempered.

In a previous interview, Wei Fei said that what she hates most are the kind of popular artists who have no acting skills and only make hype.

Now I learned that Niu Xiang was cast in the drama "The Power of Man". This originally had nothing to do with Wei Fei, but Nima actually used Lin Xing as a stepping stone, which made Wei Fei unhappy.

Compared to Wei Fei, Lin Xing is actually quite indifferent.

In this industry, there are many actors and actresses, and there are many differences.

Just like Dong Xia, she has a sponsor, so she can do whatever she wants.

The same goes for top players like Chu Chen and Niu Xiang. As the first generation of top players, the resources behind them are already strong. Now coupled with the collapse of other top players, they are now frantically grabbing resources.

Lin Xing is not qualified to grab these dropped resources, businesses, etc. at present.

Just like after Qi Shuai collapsed, his resources were basically robbed by people like Chu Chen and Niu Xiang.

Before putting it aside, Qi Shuai may also want to compete for the role of the prince in "The Power of Man". After all, the second male lead does not need to carry the ratings, and this is a serious drama. As long as he participates in it, he can gain honors.

Not to mention that there is no need to consider the reasons for such a big pie.

As long as the performance is normal and the prince's original character is included, it is easier to attract fans. This is a good character that can help the actor, so that the actor's acting skills can be improved from 5 points to 7 points.

So how could the capital behind popular artists miss this opportunity? ?

Besides, the core of "The Heart of Power" is not only revenge, but the most exciting part of the whole drama is the battle between the ten kings.

In this kind of group portrait scene, the ten princes each have their own handsomeness and charm. Wouldn't it be a smooth process if they add some fresh meat to it? ?
Lin Xing feels that there is little room for the role of King Wu, but other popular artists don't think so.

It's good that there's not much room for development.

If there is room for us to show off, we little freshmen won’t do it either.

So Lin Xing doesn’t want this role, but other young talents think it’s too suitable.

After all, what little freshmen fear most is to be able to perform, because they themselves have nothing to perform, and most of them can only play themselves.

After returning to the company, Sister Dao apologized: "Axing, this is my fault. It's because I was eager for quick results, blindly confident, and optimistic..."

"Stop, Sister Dao, where is your idiom practice story??"

Lin Xing interrupted Sister Dao and said: "As an actor, when I encounter a good script, I still have to give it a try even if I know that I will be rejected. If I didn't have the enthusiasm at the beginning, then I would not have auditioned for "Sweeping Crime". Wild Waves"."

This is the truth.

Many actors, especially those who have no capital or financial backers, and who are still in the lower reaches or even the middle reaches, are often on the chosen side.

Even many upper-level actors may lose many opportunities when one of their films fails.

Fu Shu, who was once one of the top four major actors, was rejected just because he was cast in "The Way of Power" directed by Zu Ming. Then it would be difficult for him to play the male lead in a good drama. .

The profession of an actor is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.

After all, not every actor has a good sponsor.

For this reason, Lin Xing doesn’t think there’s anything unacceptable about being rejected for auditioning for “The Power of Man”?

What's more, he can't always have good luck like in "Anti-Gangster". For a director like Zu Ming, he can't accept the control of capital. He only cares about the acting skills of the actors, so he is willing to Use Lin Xing.

But "Strike" is obviously another story.

According to Wei Fei, the role of the prince in "Strike" has been given to Niu Xiang from beginning to end, just as Qi Bing has been cast to play Zhou Bo in "The Wild Wave" before.But this time, Lin Xing was not so lucky to win the role of the prince.

This is normal.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "Everyone calls me the protagonist who cheats, but if I think so myself, then I will not be far away from my second pass."

At this point, Lin Xing is still clear enough.

At present, because of the phenomenal work of "Bad Kid", Lin Xing is almost being praised as a fairy, and he has used all kinds of "disfiguring acting skills".

Not only that, whether Lin Xing is on the set or participating in activities, or even at the dinner table with Ren Yi and others, Lin Xing is basically praised in various ways.

During the "Portrait of a Murderer" stage, Ren Yi would try to persuade Lin Xing, especially expressing his incomprehension that Lin Xing would continue filming the "Evil Child" web series.

But who would have thought that "Bad Kid" would be even more popular than "Portrait of a Murderer".

Even now, the rating of "Bad Boys" is slightly higher than that of "The Big Brother".

Tell me, does Ren Yi have anything else to give Lin Xing? ?
Everyone thinks that Lin Xing's choice is right, Lin Xing has his own persistence, how sober Lin Xing is in the world, how awesome Lin Xing is, how he cheats, how his star luck explodes.

Others can praise Lin Xing for these things, but Lin Xing cannot really take them seriously.

Think about why Fu Shu was so greasy in the first place?Why is it called the Oil King?

Isn't it just because he was surrounded by praise and not even a little bit of bad criticism, and then Fu Shu was always in it without knowing it, and finally became the oil king in everyone's mouth step by step.

So Lin Xing had already thought about it before the filming of "Bad Kid" was completed, that is, he needed to stop for a while after finishing filming.

As Ren Yi and the others said, joining the cast seamlessly is a disservice to actors, especially actors like Lin Xing whose acting skills still have a lot of room for improvement.

Drama comes from life, but it must also be higher than life.

Lin Xing didn't want to lose touch with reality when he returned to acting at this age.

Actors need to accumulate. If Lin Xing did not have the accumulation of these ten years, then he would not be able to have outstanding performances in "Just Waiting for You", "Anti-Gangster", "Portrait of a Murderer" and "Evil Child" .

Especially whether it is Guan Feng in "Portrait of a Murderer" or Li Dongsheng in "Evil Child", if Lin Xing had not been teaching in Dafeng Mountain all these years, then he might not be able to understand the relationship between the characters.

Just like children, some children are good by nature, but some children are evil by nature.

It's even more nonsense that a child can't lie.

At least Lin Xing had seen what the real 'evil' children deep in the mountains looked like.

Because of this, he was able to talk meaningfully with everyone about how Ding Chaoyang, Yan Cheng, and Pingping should act as children in "Evil Child", and he even made some modifications to the script.

There is a saying that goes: do good deeds and don’t worry about your future. It is precisely because of Lin Xing’s silent efforts in the past ten years and his teaching support in Dafeng Mountain that he has gradually gained more accumulation.

"Going to Dafeng Mountain?"

Sister Dao frowned and said: "Axing, "Evil Child" will end next week..."

"I know, so I stayed for a week and came back. The high school entrance examination and college entrance examination are coming soon. I went to see them."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't be able to stay in Dafeng Mountain for two or three months this year. Even if I want to stay, the old principal won't agree."

"Well."

Sister Dao breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Lin Xing would go to Dafeng Mountain to stay for another two months, so when she heard what Lin Xing said, Sister Dao also laughed: "Okay, you can also adjust it, "I can "Would you like to come to your house for dinner?" I have already declined them."

"Well, I also told Zhao Fang."

Lin Xingdao: "Their program is very popular, but I don't like the recording method."

In fact, it's not just Lin Xing who doesn't like it, most of the audience doesn't like it either.

Today is Friday, the second issue of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" will be updated at 12 noon.

This is often the case. Even if you watch the first episode of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner", there will be a lot of scolding, but sometimes this is also a variety show method, because the audience is like this, and the more they scold, the more they will follow.

Just like this "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner", although everyone scolded it fiercely, they also immediately followed the second issue updated at 12 noon.

Then, the guests in this episode remained the same. Luo Yi and Chen Qianmei were better this time, but Xu Fang and Liu Tian were still rude.

As for Qi Hong, he continued to be scolded.

how to say?

This time Qi Hong and Lin Xing went to the home of a young couple for dinner. The young couple were freelancers and earned income from filming short plays, and their income was not stable.

Moreover, the woman is a local, and the man is a bit like a door-to-door son-in-law. Originally, the woman's parents did not agree with this marriage, but Qi Hong couldn't help but notice that there was no discernible person at the dinner table.

Let me tell you, man, your usual income is unstable, how do you support your family?
After a while, I said that you need to find the right person to get married. After marriage, it is unstable and very painful.

Qi Hong even used herself as an example to talk about how difficult it was for her.

This variety show is meant to capture the lives of ordinary people, but Qi Hong shows off her superiority in every aspect.

No wonder Faye Wong said after watching the second issue: "Look at Qi Hong, and then look at Lin Xing. One is a leader, but he doesn't have the mentality of a guest when he goes to other people's homes. He even regards himself as a master. Then look at Lin Xing. How did he let go of his celebrity status, and how did he treat himself as an ordinary person who suffered in the world? How come the gap between people is so big?"

Many people even edited the two issues of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" into an 8-minute video of "Why Not Eat Minced Meat".

"I went to eat at other people's houses and picked on this one and that one. I also said that other people's careers were not good. It would be my turn to kick them out sooner."

"I feel sorry for Lin Xing. He has been helping Qi Hongyuan, but his teammates can't help him at all."

"Lin Xing is so kind. In the end, he even invited the two families to have dinner together at the revolving restaurant. The show crew's operation was really very deceptive."

……

"I want to say, can these celebrities consider the feelings of ordinary people? You are celebrities, but you go to ordinary people's homes and complain about this and that. You also say how difficult it is for you, and you even look down on ordinary people. I'm really convinced."

"Among these people, only Lin Xing is a normal person. Damn it, I just want celebrities to be human beings. Why is it so difficult??"

"After watching "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner", I became a fan of Lin Xing."

……

In the afternoon, "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" by Qi Hong became a hot search topic.

Yep.

Being scolded and trending.

Almost all of them were scolding him.

For some actors, they are not afraid of being scolded, and even some variety show stars are really happy when they are scolded, because it means that they have topics and popularity, so you see that although some variety show stars often scold them, they never Lack of programs.

But Qi Hong is not like this.

She also wants to act. She had a certain amount of popularity before, but now she has lost almost all of her popularity after participating in only two episodes of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner?"

Which crew will use her to play a leading role in the future? ?

"Sister Hong, we really can't go to this variety show."

The manager advised Qi Hong: "If we continue to participate, we..."

"Someone is trying to hack me."

Qi Hong gritted her teeth and said: "If quitting the variety show at this time will seem like we are in the wrong, I will pay attention to it if we record it next time. You can talk to the program team and let them help us clear our names..."

broker:"???"

At the same time, the popularity of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" surged further due to the popularity of online discussions.

After watching it, many viewers even asked seriously: "Are Qi Hong and Liu Tian really like this or did they act according to the script?"

In this regard, someone said: "Qi Hong doesn't know, but I believe Liu Tian doesn't have such good acting skills."

Then there is the anti-blackmail from Liu Tian's fans.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Just as "Bad Kid" was about to premiere, news came out about Lin Xing auditioning for the role of "Strike".

Many people are still looking forward to this.

However, a marketing account said: "As far as I know, Lin Xing auditioned for the role of the prince, but he was rejected because he was too young and too tender to play the role of the prince at his age."
