This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 210: Business as usual, play a big one (please vote for me)

The next day.

The producer of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", Lao Zhao, was the first to find Lin Xing. He smiled and said: "Teacher Lin, this time I want to thank you on behalf of Hua Hai, and on behalf of the entire crew."

"Mr. Zhao, you're so polite. It's just a coincidence. Besides, I'm also a member of the crew. I also wish our crew well..."

Lin Xing said with a slight humility: "What's more, this matter can be accomplished thanks to the cooperation of Director Dong, Liang Yi, Sister Fei, An An and others. They are willing to sacrifice their own time to do this matter, which is the most grateful. .”

Looking at Lin Xing, Old Zhao truly admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Xiu said that Lin Xing was only 32 years old, just like when Mu Zihuan suddenly became famous at the age of 40, he immediately started playing cards.

Back when Mu Zihuan was not a top player, Mu Zihuan was quite polite to everyone, even quite respectful, and very polite. He also called Lao Zhao "Brother Zhao".

Later, as Mu Zihuan became more and more popular, his old brother Zhao Xiu said that Mu Zihuan called him Brother Zhao, and even directly changed into Xiao Zhao.

When you become famous overnight, how can it be so easy to keep your original intention? ? ?

But this Lin Xing was always polite to everyone. When he was on the set, even a minor actor, a stage manager, or even a staff member of the props team, this Lin Xing had never treated anyone like him. of condescension.

Even during the filming break of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", when Liang Yi, Wei Fei, An Yifeng, and even Ren Shuai, Wu Qifeng and others went to their RV to rest, Lin Xing also helped the crew to help.

It was fun for him to help.

He blended in so naturally, and others didn't even recognize him. He just chatted, chatted, and helped in various departments.

At that time, some staff members felt that Lin Xing looked a lot like Lin Xing. Was he Lin Xing's stand-in? ?

At first, when Lao Zhao was chatting with Dong Deng, he felt that Lin Xing was pretending, or even just to promote himself.

In the end, Dong Deng shook his head and said: "What are you pretending to do?? Have you seen any performances without a camera? It's not like you don't know about the current publicity?? Basically, the crew filmed how the actors acted, but Have you seen Lin Xing let us take pictures?"

These words made Lao Zhao slightly stunned.

He just thought that many things were normal, but he forgot that Lin Xing did not do this at all.

Not to mention that Dong Deng added: "When Lin Xing was on the set of "Sweeping Out", he even did the work of bricklaying in the props team. On the set of "Portrait of a Murderer", I heard Wei Fei say that Lin Xing He is almost considered a performance director, and he often discusses scenes with everyone. If he is really pretending, then he is just like the best actor Wang Ruoan, who would still say he is pretending now??"

Again, if you can pretend to be an actor all your life, then you will have both virtue and art.

Because of this, Lao Zhao changed his mind a little more about Lin Xing.

There is a way in which what you hear is false and what you see is true.

This Lin Xing is even more exaggerated than rumored.

Just like when we were filming action scenes before, who would have thought that Lin Xing would actually be in it? Where can there be any scenes where popular actors are filming with live ammunition now? ?

Especially Lin Xing made thorough preparations before filming this action scene.

Let alone popular actors, Lin Xing is far ahead of other actors.

After all, many of today's drama actors have also started water skiing, and most of them don't even have a little bit of talent in terms of professionalism.

how to say? ?

Now the entire entertainment industry is a process of bad money driving out good money. Most of them are hand in hand, whoever is dedicated first is the dog.

It is precisely because of this that people like Zu Ming, Liu Zhou, Dong Deng, and even Luo Jun, the director of "The King of Powers" are rare. They have always insisted on what a director should do.

The director, in addition to directing the play, also instructs the actors on how to perform. It is easy to say but very difficult to control the entire crew.

After all, many directors in today's market are just decorations. Some directors don't even mention directing actors. They are almost like the grandsons of actors.

In the past two days, a group of screenwriters and directors formed a group one by one to denounce the hit drama "The Road" for being disrespectful to the screenwriters and directors, especially the heroine Xie Nianwei's random changes to the script, the crew kicking people, etc.

All in all, it was quite a fuss.

You must know that Xie Nianwei belongs to the peak of 85 Flowers, but now she is not even as influential as An Yifeng, and even now she can only film online dramas.

Even so, Xie Nianwei still played a big role.

This can only mean one thing, some people are not popular because of their own fault.

A lot of the time it’s all about comparison.

Zhao was actually a little worried when the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" started. As a producer, he really needed to coordinate all aspects, and he also had to worry about whether some actors would play big names.

After all, in this industry, it would be abnormal for an actor not to be a big name.

Like Lin Xing, not only did he not pretend to be a big name, he didn't even act like a big name, and he even helped the crew with a completely down-to-earth attitude.

This was completely beyond expectation.

Not to mention this time.

Originally, it was inevitable that the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" would be shut down, and even Huahai Film and Television had no solution for the time being.

What's more, the crew's one-day expenses are too high, and it is impossible for Huahai Film and Television to come up with this money.

Besides, from the perspective of capital, the world will turn around no matter who it is, and everyone in the crew is not a necessity. Why are many screenwriters always ignored?

Or to take a step back, why are many creators always ignored?

Isn't it because capital thinks they don't need it? They can decide what disgusting dramas you watch, and they can even flatter a few ugly people to get you to pay for them, so that even if you annoy them, they will post them on the home page every day.

For Huahai Film and Television, what they need to ensure is maximization of profits.

The crew is on hiatus, it’s okay.

It’s okay if the crew disbands.

It's just a matter of reshooting it when the time comes.

But as a producer, Zhao knows what impact the shutdown of the crew will have, especially now that the good chemistry of the crew may be destroyed.

Therefore, Lin Xing is willing to work with the crew to create another project. Regardless of whether the work is a game or something else, it is enough to allow the crew to operate normally.

After chatting for a few words, Lao Zhao also said bluntly: "Teacher Lin, yesterday I asked people to promote it, mainly to tell everyone that although our crew is suspended, it will not stop working..."

Lin Xing expressed his understanding: "Mr. Zhao, in fact, you will continue to be the producer of this crew."

Lao Zhao: "??"

"It's business as usual."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "I said before that our crew is running normally, so how can we do without you? You have to be responsible for many things."

This is what Lin Xing had thought of last night.

Since all members of the crew are used, no one from this crew can be missing.

Oh.

Not right either.

Then Ling Mei doesn't need it.

Except for Ling Mei, everyone else can use it.

Youdao is a professional who specializes in arts. There is no problem if you let Lin Xing be in charge of the script, but if you let him be in charge of the operation of the entire crew, Lin Xing really doesn't have those two skills.

Lao Zhao also laughed after listening to Lin Xing's explanation: "Okay, no problem."

Half an hour later, in the conference room.

Lin Xing handed the script to everyone in turn.

This script only has the first three episodes, but these three episodes have countless choices.

"Let's take a look at it first. After all, the scripts I wrote overnight are a bit immature..." Lin Xing said with a smile: "And I'm not a professional screenwriter. A lot of what I wrote was written in one stroke."

This Lin Xing is really not self-effacing. Although he has also been a screenwriter over the years, there is still a certain gap between him and professionals.

But what to say? ?

Lin Xing doesn't care much about technical terminology. He only cares about the completeness of the story and whether it is easy to understand so that the audience, or players, can have a sense of involvement.

Then that's enough.

In Lin Xing's view, Lin Xing only needs to maintain the story of "The Hidden Lurker", and the focus is on the characterization and details of the characters.

At the same time, Lin Xing still said: "This is just the main line. We can discuss other options when filming and see how interesting it is. Anyway, the main thing is participation."

This first episode, or the prologue of "The Hidden Lurker", is Xiao Bo's return to China.

And the identity is revealed at the beginning.

Two years ago, Xiao Bo was arrested and imprisoned for being overly active in the anti-Japanese war. Then he was rescued by his teacher. At the same time, he secretly became a Communist Party member and paid for his education.

At the same time, the focus is on making Xiao Bo a gray character.

If we don't just talk about the game selection, but the main line, "The Hidden Lurker" is a bright start, and the plot line is highlighted through Xiao Bo's mouth.

I, Xiao Bo, was a simple and passionate college student two years ago. Now that I have returned to China two years ago, I am already a gray person on the surface.

……

In the conference room, everyone was looking at the script.

Even though Ren Shuai was already quite close to Lin Xing, he was still a bit unexpected.

This surprise given by Lin Xing was a bit big.

The first three episodes.

The first episode is the prologue, that is, Xiao Bo returns to China, and then performs a play with his teacher Wu Yao, which makes him bear the name of a traitor. At the same time, Xiao Tu also has a relationship with his best friend in school, that is, Xiao Tu Teacher Bo's daughter Wu Mei is completely alienated.

In this episode, Xiao Bo has a new codename: Deep Sea.

At the same time, in this first episode, Xiao Bo officially filled out his application for party membership.

In the second episode, Xiao Bo successfully worked in the news agency, and at the same time, Xiao Bo was asked to try his best to break into the top management of RB.

In this episode, Xiao Bo gained the appreciation of Consul Nakano Ichiro. Even under Nakano Ichiro's temptation, Xiao Bo also gained trust, and the reason for trust was that Xiao Bo handed over a list.

Of course, in this episode Xiao Bo also gained the trust of Nakano Mika, the daughter of Ichiro Nakano.

But this episode is the one where Xiao Bo officially grows up, because he sees true cruelty.

The teacher he admired most was dead, and he was beaten to death with his own hands.

In this lesson, Xiao Bo also really started to grow up and disguise himself, and even started to learn to smoke. At the same time, he gained the trust of Nakano Ichiro and entered Nakano Ichiro's secret service.

……

how to say?

The scripts of these first three episodes can be said to be very compact. The story follows one link after another, and the pace is completely unmatched by some of today's spy dramas.

Does Ren Shuai even think that this game script is of such high standard now? ? ?

Not only Ren Shuai, but Dong Deng even felt that Xiao Bo's character had a sense of upgrade from a director's perspective.

Because he is younger first, and because he is young, he is more impulsive, or not easy to adapt.

Think about the state of Chen Xuewen played by Lin Xing in "For Whom the Bell Tolls"? ?

He is already in a high position, and he is confident of victory. He is full of charm and is a leader from afar.

But what about Xiao Bo? ?

He was a passionate student two years ago. He didn't even have any latent experience. After returning to China, he just acted in a play with his teacher. When he was even preparing to follow his teacher to contribute to the party, the teacher died.

Moreover, the teacher held Xiao Bo's hand and fired.

Each episode is very interesting and contains a lot of information. The most important thing is that the main line is not confusing at all.

Xiao Bo.

Everything revolves around Xiao Bo.

At present, after reading the scripts of the first three episodes, Dong Deng feels that this is not a group scene, but it is Xiao Bo's game alone.

But think about it again.

This is originally a game script.

And if this game is shot in real-life scenes, then so much material can honestly be put together for a TV series.

"Axing, I don't understand games, but if we follow the scripts of the first three episodes, we will need a lot of money to shoot all the live scenes."

Dong Deng raised his head and did not talk about the script. Instead, he talked about the funding situation.

Not only Dong Deng, but also Lao Zhao, who quickly became a producer, also said: "Yes, if we film according to the requirements you said, Teacher Lin, this fund will be indispensable."

"The game is a production fund, and the live shooting is another production fund."

Liang Yi still has a certain understanding of games. He also knew that there are some such interactive dramas and interactive video games abroad, and the most important thing is that these foreign ones are outdated.

“It is not easy for interactive dramas and interactive video games to succeed.”

Liang Yi said to Lin Xing: "I think this script is good, but it's hard to say whether players will buy it."

"Don't worry about funds. Xin Hui really doesn't have much other than money."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Of course I know that there are many interactive dramas and interactive video games abroad, but there are very few in China, and since there are none, we people can try one out, and we will be the first to take advantage of it whether it succeeds or not. people……"

"Axing is right."

Wei Fei nodded lightly and said, "Since Mr. Xin is paying the bill, we will definitely not lose money if we have fun."

Having said that, Wei Fei is more interested in the filming techniques of this drama.

"In the past, we filmed movies with one main line, but for this movie we can shoot it as a game and figure out our own solutions..."

Wei Fei said with a smile: "It's as if we are trying out this game first."

"Yes, I think this is quite interesting too."

Ren Shuai also said: "We can think of other options ourselves and then take pictures. This is just like what Ah Xing said, let's play the big one."

The important thing is to participate and have fun.

This is often a popular method of promotion for many people.

But for many actors who have been filming movies and TV series for many years, this is really the first time for them to do this.
