This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 244 Give Lin Xing a kiss (please vote for me)

"Huh? Name??"

Dai An looked at Lin Xing a little puzzled: "A Xing, do you think the name "Killing Ading" is not good??"

"It's not bad, I just think this name is a spoiler..."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Although a qualified movie does not need to be mysterious, but if the creator helps the audience to finalize the final word, then everyone will feel that they have much less expectations..."

At this point, Lin Xing paused and said: "Take the upcoming Spring Festival release as an example. Look at all the other films except Huo Lao's "The Lost Daughter". That is "The Lost Daughter" now. No one knows what the story is..."

Movies create dreams for the audience, or in other words, movies allow the audience to understand on their own.

This is why good movies have white space.

In fact, the script of "Killing Aden" never wrote that Aden died. In the end, he seemed to be the winner and even had a child.

But in fact it is nothing more than a dream.

Aden's dream.

In other words, Adin was already dead, from the moment he knelt down, he was already dead.

However, this script is a literary film, not a limited film. When people first see a name like "Adeen," they may think it is some kind of kung fu film.

The name is wrong.

Diane explained: "Axing, this name is actually a pun. At first I thought it was called "Who Killed Adin", but I think the name "Killing Adin" is more powerful..."

At this point, Diane paused and said, "But Ah Xing, if you think this name is not good, then we can change it."

Lin Xing thought for a moment and said, "Then let's start with this name."

Originally, Lin Xing thought of calling him by another name, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with what Diane said.

Besides, it's still in the preparation stage, and it won't be too late to change the name when the time comes.

"Axing, it's okay. If you have a good name, you can change it."

However, Dai An was determined to listen to Lin Xing in everything.

There is no way, Diane is really forced to the point where he can't even get investment now, but it will be different if Lin Xing participates in the show.

Who doesn’t know that Lin Xing’s traffic is huge now? ?

There is also the matter of remuneration.

After all, "Killing Arden" is a low-budget literary film, but based on Lin Xing's current salary, Diane feels that it may be a bit stressful.

So Diane felt that she had to make Lin Xing like the script first, and then the next thing to talk about was the salary.

"Axing, it's just about the remuneration..."

Diane sheepishly explained to Lin Xing, but before he could explain, Lin Xing interrupted: "I like this script very much, so I can participate in it for free."

When he heard that Lin Xing agreed to participate in the film for free, a smile appeared on his face.

Zero pay for actors is nothing new in the industry. Many actors ask for a share of the box office.

But for the script "Killing Arden", even if Lin Xing asked for 20% of the box office share, he would still lose money.

After all, Diane is not very confident about the domestic box office of "Killing Arden".

The upper limit for literary films in China is not high, but the lower limit is very low.

Just like last year's star-studded film "White Winter", the final box office didn't even reach 2000 million, which is still good.

There are even some literary films that can even reach 500 million.

For this reason, even Diane felt that giving Lin Xing a share of the box office was actually just a sign of respect for Lin Xing.

Lin Xing didn't say much after hearing what Diane said. He also understood that with a subject like this, there was no need to expect any extravagance at the box office.

Reputation is what everyone wants.

"Director Dai, what is the estimated production cost of this movie? How much is the difference now??"

Lin Xing asked with concern.

"this…"

Dai An said helplessly: "Actually, I no longer have any extravagant expectations about the production cost. Now only Jiang Ning generously invested 100 million for me. Other than that, other people avoided mentioning my investment... "

Originally, Diane was thinking of doing something big at the beginning. For this "Killing Arden", he felt that he only needed 3000 million.

3000 million is considered to be an upper-middle-class investment in literary and artistic films. According to Diane's ideas, he felt that it would not be a problem to raise 3000 million by himself.

The result was a slap in the face.

Don't talk about 3000 million, even 1000 million is not even mentioned.

In the second movie, Diane not only lost all his net worth, but he also lost his reputation, or credibility.

Now no one believes that Diane can make another good movie, especially a fucking art movie.

Do you think you are Zhang Mo or Zhou Tian? ? ?

You must know that Zhang and Zhou are both leading directors of artistic films. Although the films they shot did not do well at the domestic box office, they were extremely good abroad.

After all, these two people don't make money from box office when making movies, they rely on extra income.

But why do you, Diane? ?

Diane talked a bit too much this night, because he was really suffocating to death. After all, from the time of preparation for "Killing Arden", no one around him except his wife was optimistic about it.

Then, it was Diane’s darkest moment.

The teacher avoided him.

His classmates and friends all advised him to calm down.

Then there are those like Kong Shan and Lao Yang who are yin and yang and even trample them hard.

The ancients often said that only when you are down and out do you know whether the person around you is a human or a ghost. This is true.

When Diane's first commercial film hit the streets, Diane did not lose confidence. It is normal for a new director to fail in his first film.

When Diane's second literary film was being prepared, the people around him were pretty good to him, and his relatives and friends felt that he was on the safe side.

Even Diane put her own net worth up.

Everyone knows the result.

Then he saw the warmth and coldness of human nature.

how to say? ?

If people continue to rush into the market, they will doubt their life and even lose their due judgment on the market.

This is not.

Many people feel that Diane is really not suitable for directing and does not understand the market.

Not to mention talking about him behind his back.

Just think about Diane's situation at the "Gone Daughter" party yesterday.

During this period of time, Diane has been being questioned, ridiculed, and ridiculed by the outside world.

He even had some doubts about whether his script was really rubbish and whether he was really not suitable to be a director.

If Diane's wife Li Qian hadn't been encouraging Diane, Diane would have given up long ago.

Li Qian belongs to the acting group among actresses, which means she is not very pretty.

And once when the topic of plastic surgery was discussed, Li Qian said very straightforwardly: "If I go under the knife, my micro-expressions will definitely be affected, and my face will basically collapse, and I don't need to rely on my face to get into the entertainment industry."

It can be said that Li Qian's personality is somewhat similar to Wei Fei's, they are both typically straightforward, so Li Qian actually doesn't do well in the entertainment industry, even worse than Wei Fei.

Also, Li Qian is not as anxious as other female artists in their 40s. She fully accepts her age. In recent years, Li Qian has started to play the role of a mother.

She not only accepts her old age, but also dares to grow old.

In this regard, Li Qian is much better than too many people.

At the same time, Li Qian is not like those empty-minded female artists, she really understands the script.

Li Qian really thinks "Killing Arden" is good, and she believes in her husband's talent even more.

So during this period of time, Li Qian has really been cheering up Dai An.

Think about it, you are facing difficulties in getting investment, no one except your wife is optimistic about your script, you want other actors to play it but no one is willing to take it.

At this moment, an actor suddenly tells you: "I am optimistic about this script. I can participate in it with zero pay. I can also invest 1000 million, and I can also help you raise the next investment."

you say.

I'll leave you alone, what's your first reaction? ? ?

Telecom fraud? ?

No. At this time, there is nothing worthy of defrauding Diane, especially since the actor in front of him is a popular top actor recently.

"Brother, don't say anything anymore. We will be brothers from now on..."

Diane really drank too much and he was happy.

He was really holding back this period and was extremely depressed at the same time. Now he feels that someone finally understands him and all his worries have been resolved.

"How you want to shoot this movie is how we shoot it."

"It's just a name, brother, which name do you think is suitable?"

……

Two hours later, Li Qian picked up the drunk Dai An. Before leaving, Dai An actually gave Lin Xing a bump.

Li Qian could only ask the driver to help Dai An up quickly while apologizing to Lin Xing.

This is so embarrassing.

Lin Xing was also a little bit dumbfounded. She didn't know what to do this late at night and thought she was forcing Diane to do something.

"I will definitely not drink with Diane next time."

Lin Xing decided.

It seems that Diane is a very reliable and reserved person when she is not drinking. How did she become a talkative person after drinking? ? ?

The next day, when Diane woke up, she found herself lying on the bathroom floor.

"Why am I here??"

Diane thought about it carefully.

He was discussing the script of "Killing Arden" with Lin Xing last night, and then Lin Xing agreed to participate in the film for zero pay, and was also willing to invest 1000 million.

Not only that, Lin Xing also said to see if he could help with the remaining funds.

So he felt the stone in him fall to the ground, and he drank with Lin Xing.

What next? ? ?

Diane couldn't remember.

Headache.

I drank too much yesterday.

Dai An stood up and washed his face at this time, and then he came out and saw Li Qian.

"woke up???"

Li Qian looked at Dai An and said with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"Ah, wake up."

Diane was still a little confused and asked: "How did I come back last night??"

"Don't think about how you came back last night. Do you still remember what happened when you left last night??"

Li Qian said.

Diane said with a wry smile: "I seem to have lost my mind. I can't remember it at all. What happened?"

"Did you remember to kowtow to Lin Xing?"

Li Qian suddenly said angrily: "Di An, you have disappointed me so much. You just failed to make two movies, and no one invested in them. Why don't you even give up your self-respect? Then Lin Xing doesn't want to If he doesn’t want to participate in the show, why are you kneeling to him???”

Dai An was a little stunned by Li Qian's roar, especially when he heard that Li Qian actually said that she had knocked on Lin Xing, he was really a little unbelievable.

"I kowtowed to Lin Xing???"

Diane asked again.

"Yes, you're so knocked down that we can't pull you up no matter how hard we pull you up. It's really embarrassing..."

Li Qian was still furious.

"You can never drink like this again, Qian, please calm down..."

Diane said helplessly at this time: "Listen to me."

"Don't say anything, I don't want to listen now."

Li Qian said angrily: "I feel annoyed when I see you now."

"No, Qian, it was Lin Xing who agreed to participate in "Killing Aden", and he also agreed to invest 1000 million. In addition, he will figure out a way to use the remaining funds. He will give it to me in the past two days. information……"

Diane quickly explained.

Li Qian suddenly stood up: "You said that Lin Xing agreed to star in "Killing Arden" for zero pay?"

Diane nodded slightly: "Yes."

Li Qian continued: "You said he also invested 1000 million???"

Diane continued to nod: "Yes."

Li Qian also asked: "He also promised to help you think about your next investment???"

Diane nodded seriously.

Li Qian sat down and said, "Then if you're not wronged, you should be able to knock on a few more."

Diane: "???"

……

Lin Xing's home.

"Brother Xing, these pancakes are filled with spicy strips and ham."

"This soy milk is sweet."

……

Xiao Nan came to find Lin Xing and brought breakfast to Lin Xing.

"Xiao Nan, have you eaten??"

Lin Xing took it and asked.

"already eaten."

Xiao Nan said.

"Didn't I give you a day off today? Why are you here again???"

Lin Xing suddenly remembered and said.

Xiao Nan quickly said: "Sister Ling asked me to come. Originally, the celebration party of "The Hidden Lurker" was supposed to be on the 13th, but Hua Hai wanted to move it two days in advance, so that all the actors could be coordinated …”

Lin Xing frowned: "What's the date??"

Xiaonan said: "It's just this Wednesday, 9pm on the 2th..."

"Row."

Lin Xing said: "I understand, is there anything else?"

"Sister Ling asked me to ask how your conversation with Diane went? If it's really confirmed, she won't arrange other activities."

Xiao Nan said.

"We've basically reached an agreement. I'll give Sister Ling a call later..."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said, "Okay, since you have nothing to do, you can go and rest. We have a holiday these two days. We will go to the celebration banquet together on the 8th."

After Xiao Nan left, Lin Xing thought for a moment and made a call to Xin Hui. Lin Xing asked directly: "Where is it?"

Xin Hui said: "I'm still in the Magic City. I'll go back in the afternoon."

Lin Xing said: "Okay, then we will talk when you come back."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xing called Ding Chunling. Apparently, Ding Chunling was a little confused after hearing this.
