Chapter 344 Can copying succeed? Same sex? (Please subscribe)
While discussing the next publicity strategy for "Why Live" with the publicity department, Zhen Zhuang was a little confused when he received a call from Ning Ping.

"What script??"

Zhen Zhuang was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Lin Xing went to audition today, right?"

Ning Ping said: "Yes, I went to audition, but he controlled the character of Zhao Xiaodao a little too well. He seemed to know everything about the character of Zhao Xiaodao, so I want to ask you if Did you let him read the script or talk to him about the role?”

After hearing what Ning Ping said, Zhen Zhuang was a little happy: "Your script is constantly being revised. I don't even know how your script will eventually turn out? Besides, why should I show it to Lin Xing?" script?"

In fact, after asking Zhen Zhuang, Ning Ping thought this was impossible.

Because he still understands Zhen Zhuang's character. Even when Zhen Zhuang said that he wanted to talk to Lin Xing about the character of Zhao Xiaodao, he also got angry with Ning Ping.

But it was actually Lin Xing's performance as Zhao Xiaodao that was a bit beyond Ning Ping's expectations.

This is not to say that Lin Xing's acting skills are so explosive. After all, for Ning Ping, what an actor needs is understanding, and acting skills can be trained.

If Lin Xing could play Zhao Xiaodao so appropriately with just a piece of script and a humanistic biography, it would prove that Lin Xing is really better than he expected.

At 12 noon, "Why Live" was announced on the last day of September.

Regarding the distribution of "Why Live", Zhen Zhuang handed it over to Bohai Tianji Film and Television for distribution.

Ning Ping said: "Okay."

Or maybe Wang Ning thinks that Diane is playing tricks on her? ?
After all, he and Diane have been friends for many years. Wang Ning was responsible for Diane's first two street movies. At first, Wang Ning thought that Diane's movie could be a big hit.

Zhen Zhuang also had no objection to this: "Then it's settled."

Therefore, Wang Ning believes that there is no problem with "Why Live".

What I never expected was that Diane's movie was immediately hit the streets.

Zhen Zhuang chuckled softly: "I think it's not a bad thing to want to win awards. If an actor has no ambition, he will not become a good actor. But ambition must be matched by ability, otherwise he will only be able to reap the dividends of the times. "

"I see."

Because of this, Wang Ning has started to build momentum almost in the past two days.

But as I said before, Huahai Film and Television mainly focuses on TV series, so there is no problem for them to do post-production and publicity, but distribution is definitely not possible.

However, Zhen Zhuang didn't think too much about the next step. For him, the next step was the announcement of the movie "Why Live".

Zhen Zhuang nodded lightly: "Yes, I was just going to tell you. Remember to come when the screening is scheduled in a few days."

And when Diane came to Wang Ning with this movie, Wang Ning directly stated that he would not distribute it.

After all, Liang Yi is Hua Hai's newest brother. It was because of Liang Yi that he filmed the movie "For Whom the Bell Tolls", but what he never expected was that Lin Xing became the biggest winner in this movie.

Even the trailers of "Why Live" are a bit similar to "Killing Arden".

What's more important is that "Why Live" basically has some similarities with "Killing Arden" in terms of plot and actors.

Comprehensively replicate the success of "Killing Arden", and at the same time go one step further based on the replication.

For Wang Ning, Lin Xing's "Killing Arden" was just a road show, and then it was simply announced and released and it directly exceeded 100 million, so "Why Live" can also be copied successfully.

"If you want to live a life that you can see the end of, if every day is a dull and repetitive life, then what is the meaning of such a life?..."

At present, the box office of "Killing Arden" is almost reaching its peak. This is a good time to take advantage of the popularity to raise the audience's appetite for literary films to a higher level.

Why are you playing with me like this? ?

At the same time, the publicity was done by Huahai Film and Television. After all, Huahai had some investment in this "Why Live", and their investment was mainly to promote Liang Yi.

Ning Ping nodded lightly: "Okay, I originally thought that he wouldn't come to the interview after you told Lin Xing, but I didn't expect that he would come. And it seems that he is quite serious about this role, and he did work with some just I think artists who win awards are different..."

Zhen Zhuang said a few words and hung up the phone, but he really didn't expect that Lin Xing would perform so well.

Wang Ning, head of the distribution of Bobo Hai Tianji Film and Television, said to Zhen Zhuang: "Of course, we still have to hold the premiere, and we have to make it special. Other than that, we can completely replicate Lin Xing's road show... …”

As for Liang Yi's transformation, Hua Hai has done a lot of work. They originally planned for Liang Yi to gradually enter the film industry. It is precisely because of this that Hua Hai collaborated with Zhen Zhuang to film the film "Why Live".

“I think we can completely replicate the success of ‘Killing Arden’.”

After all, Ningping's requirements are not generally high.

After listening to Ning Ping's words, Zhen Zhuang said with a smile: "I think Lin Xing really has this ability. I heard Liang Yi say that Lin Xing has a very strong understanding of scripts. Not to mention anything else, even and Which director Lin Xing has worked with has not praised Lin Xing so much?"

So, there's no reason why "Why Live" shouldn't be a hit, right? ?

"That's true. By the way, will your movie be announced today?"

But who would have thought that this movie would be a huge hit? ?

The power of publicity even seems to be greater than that of several blockbusters released during the National Day.

"That's it for now. I have to continue working on the scheduled promotional posters and videos for a while."

But Liang Yi was not useless, he still got some bonuses.

Ning Ping stopped talking about this. He suddenly remembered what Zhen Zhuang said about the movie "Why Live" which will be announced today, so he asked.

One thing to say, Wang Ning was almost depressed when he saw the box office of "Killing Arden".

So when Wang Ning knew that "Why Live" was going to be released in advance and looking for distribution, he directly contacted Zhen Zhuang to obtain the distribution of the film.

But Wang Ning thinks it's worth it.

Now it seems that Lin Xing is really very ambitious. He doesn't take his external image seriously at all.

And the one-minute trailer is also a monologue by Liang Yi.

"It's not that I don't want to live, I just don't want to live. Who stipulates that life must be carried out in accordance with schooling, graduation, work, marriage, and having children??"

This is a literary and artistic film.

So as soon as it was released, many literary and youth people reposted it one after another, and some people said that I have really had enough of this kind of life.

In short, the trailer of "Why Live" has been retweeted by more than 10,000 people in a short period of time, and with the retweeting of many main creators, the popularity of this trailer has soared.

Lin Xing also forwarded this Weibo post, but he did not use the copy sent to him by "Why Live".

Lin Xing doesn't think there's anything wrong with a step-by-step approach to life, and he doesn't like the promotion of some movies nowadays, which always seem to criticize the lives of ordinary people.

On the one hand, it wants ordinary people to spend money to buy tickets, but on the other hand, it looks down on the lives of ordinary people.

This is not true.

There are also some movies that constantly criticize parents, teachers, etc., and then even shout out, "All parents should watch this movie to learn from it" and so on.

Some even shouted out, "As a parent, I'm sorry for you."

Is it weird to say that the audience can pay the bill?
The current trailer of "Why Live" actually has this meaning. If you watch the movie, it doesn't feel like this, but when edited, it seems to have this flavor.

If coupled with a lot of publicity from the actors, it seems to be telling everyone: "You are not living a good life now, go and die quickly."

are you crazy. Lin Xing's slogan is almost the same, so Lin Xing is useless.

He thought about it and directly reposted the Weibo post of "Why Live" and wrote: "What doesn't kill you will make you stronger. Let's go to the cinema to watch "Why Live" on October 10st."

Originally Lin Xing wanted to write: "Let's go to the theater to watch Qi Liang change his fate against the odds", but after thinking about it, it seemed that the word "change his destiny against the heavens" has been used too much recently, so Lin Xing simply made it more ordinary.

Anyway, for publicity, just let everyone know.

Lin Xing made two turns in total.

One is from the official video of "Why Live?"

One is Liang Yi's.

"Big brother is here to help promote the younger brother. I'm dreaming back to "Death Knell"."

"Lin Xing is so cute. When did he help people repost two Weibo posts in a row?"

"Good guys, you Chen brothers are still in love, aren't you?"

……

Many people have played this joke.

On the one hand, the main reason is that the movie "Death Knell" is so popular. There are still some people at Station B editing clips of the Chen brothers and even the eldest sister of the Chen family.

On the one hand, Lin Xing and Liang Yi both gained some attention with their respective artistic films at the Venice Film Festival not long ago, and they also took a group photo together.

Then, when Lin Xing's "Killing Arden" movie was released, although Liang Yi did not go to the road show, he still vigorously promoted it.

Even when Liang Yi was participating in a variety show, he took the initiative to promote "Killing Arden".

So everyone says that the friendship between the Chen brothers seems to be unbreakable.

It had been half a month since "Killing Arden" was released, and no one expected that "Why Live" would be released again, and then it would be Lin Xing to help promote it.

You say it's a coincidence, right? ?
Of course, there are still more and more promotional articles for the movie "Why Live". In this movie, Liang Yi is the male lead, and the female lead is Bai Dan. Not to mention Liang Yi, even Bai Dan is also very popular. It's big and popular with passers-by.

If Bai Dan hadn't rejected the role of Wu Jingyi before, where would Wang Lu have been cast? ?

In fact, Bai Danhui's intestines were green. She didn't expect that the audience would like the villain. If she knew this, then she would have played this role no matter what.

This time Bai Dan also had great confidence in "Why Live".

She thought that although she missed "Death Knell", it would be good to break into the film industry with "Why Live".

After all, the film industry is quite difficult to break into. Bai Dan has been acting in TV series for ten years. She is already considered to be a force in the TV series industry, but it is not easy to enter the film industry.

This time, a literary film is an opportunity.

At the same time, Lin Xing Studio.

After Lin Xing came back from the audition, he returned to the studio, but Ding Chunling was not in a good mood because she received the news that the play that Lin Xing took actually had a homosexual plot.

Originally, Ding Chunling thought that it would be good to act in Ning Ping's drama. It would be even better if she could win awards through Ning Ping's drama.

But this premise cannot damage Lin Xing's image. This image is not only on-screen, but also off-screen.

Lin Xing will never support others.

This is what Ding Chunling cares about most.

She didn't want Lin Xing to be deceived into playing a second male role to help others promote themselves.

The second is the image in the plot.

Sometimes if an actor plays a bad role, he may lose his reputation over the years.

If you don't believe me, look at Yu Yan. She is very popular with the public, she is also very talented in the film industry, and she has always been called an aura actress.

The results of it?
She came down to the world to act in a TV series and played a queen. She was ridiculed in various ways at first, and later she suffered all kinds of ridicule due to the collapse of her reputation.

This is what the role mismatch brings about.

Actors need to cherish their own image.

At present, Lin Xing has just made a masterpiece on the big screen with "Killing Arden", and more importantly, this literary film has a box office of over 100 million.

Now you have to choose your acting roles even more carefully, especially movies.

If the second movie holds up, things will be very different.

If Ning Ping's crime-themed film was really good, then Ding Chunling wouldn't have anything to worry about.

But it just so happens that Ningping has always been known for its roughness in filming. The roughness here is not the roughness of the person, but the roughness and strong impact of the scenes filmed.

Originally, Ding Chunling was worried that Lin Xing, the character of Zhao Xiaodao, would have a bad image, but after she came back, she got the news that this character had a homosexual scene.

This is not possible.

As an agent, Ding Chunling must have considered the pros and cons. She felt that Lin Xing could not afford to take a role that would harm her screen image just for the so-called award.

"I know this."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Zhen Zhuang told me yesterday, but I think everything still depends on the script. Is this scene added to serve the plot or for my own bad taste? There is a clear difference between the two. There are different differences, so I’d better wait for the notification from Ningping. If he is satisfied with me, he will read the script first and then talk about other things..."

Ding Chunling looked at Lin Xing and wanted to persuade her, but in the end she gave up: "Then let's wait until we read the script."

"Well, if there is a notice from Ning Ping, then you should ask him for the script first. Even if he doesn't give the script, you should read the follow-up outline and character biographies..."

Lin Xing nodded lightly and said, "You are right. I can't act in a hazy way just by reading a piece of script."

"it is good."

Ding Chunling felt relieved when she heard what Lin Xing said.

"Then I won't wait any longer."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said: "I will continue to join the group directly."

For Lin Xing, he is actually a little exhausted from the road show in the past half month, and he is both mentally and physically tired.

However, the TV series "Always On" was being filmed overtime. Although Lin Xing could join the set tomorrow at the agreed time, he still wanted to go to the set to check on the situation.

As soon as Lin Xing arrived on the set, Xie Qiang looked at Lin Xing and said, "Okay, where's the makeup artist? Hurry up and give Lin Xing makeup."

Lin Xing: "??"
