This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 359: Everything is a coincidence, the spring of spy dramas is still here
"Mining Town" tells a story about poverty alleviation, or it can be said that it was a propositional essay from the beginning.

According to Ding Chunling, this play was originally a mission play, and it was a creative proposition, the main purpose of which was to show the "Fujian-Ningxia model" under the East-West cooperation.

The role that Lin Xing is going to audition for is the male lead of the show, Cheng Hao. According to the setting, the age of this character also ranges from 19 to over 40 years old.

When he first appeared, he was a young, handsome and young agricultural school graduate. He was then seconded to be a grassroots cadre, and at the same time, he led the villagers out of poverty step by step and achieved common prosperity.

While experiencing life, Lin Xing read some information on the spot and also visited some people to learn about the origin of the script.

After all, the script is well-written. Many of the previous poverty alleviation themes are fake and unrealistic, and are typically just slogans, and many are just blind praises.

But this time is different.

The screenwriter this time is Wang Haifei. The scripts he writes are always relatively realistic. In particular, Wang Haifei said in an interview that he had visited and collected folk songs many times in order to write this script. Wang Haifei also said that this is not a drama with a leading role, but a group portrait, and it mainly writes about many poverty alleviation cadres.

This is indeed the case. After reading the script, Lin Xing's first impression was that it was an ensemble drama, so Lin Xing wanted to take it on.

Some people might worry that the group drama would be overshadowed, but for Lin Xing it was quite enjoyable.

Just like "Death Knell", or the now scheduled "Never Breaking Bad", even for Lin Xing "Never Breaking Bad" is far better than "Death Knell".

The strong here refers to the collision between everyone during acting, especially Xie emphasized that teaching actors is extremely strong.

It can be said that Lin Xing feels that after performing "Never Breaking the Line", his understanding of the script and even the characters has been further deepened.

It is possible that he didn't know where to start, or Lin Xing didn't know how to express it, so he didn't say it in "A Day with Rice".

After all, casually saying that you are filming "Unbroken Line" feels like a step forward, as if you are bragging about it before the show even starts airing.

According to the industry, if you pop champagne at halftime, you’re likely to get slapped in the face.

Therefore, as "Never Breaking Connection" has not yet been aired, Lin Xing is trying not to brag about it at this time.

The most he said was "I have confidence in 'Never Breaking the Line'."

What happens in the end is up to the audience.

This time, although "Never Breaking Connection" has been scheduled for February 2, "Never Breaking Connection" has only released stills.

Whether it is Lin Xing in the stills or other actors, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil.

But everyone knows that Lin Xing is definitely a decent person, but that is why everyone wants to know how Lin Xing will act.

As a result, over the past two days, there have been a lot of discussions online about "Never Breaking the Line", and today it has gained a lot of popularity with the official announcement of "Mining Town".

This is a big pie.

The screenwriter of "Mining Town" is Wang Haifei, and the director this time is the master Tao Lian.

Tao Lian is one of the few outstanding female directors in the TV drama circle, and her works are few in quantity but of extremely high quality.

This time she is directing "Mining Town" again after almost 5 years.

With such a lineup of Tao Lian + Wang Haifei + Bohai Film and Television, to be honest, who wouldn’t be jealous?

"Okay, there should be quite a few people auditioning Cheng Hao this time."

Lin Xing listened to Ding Chunling's arrangements and asked directly.

"More than a few."

Ding Chunling shook her head and said, "Now many young artists want to grab a chance. In addition, even some people in their 40s want to grab a chance..."

In a word, there are too many people who want to take a piece of this pie.

"okay, I get it."

Lin Xing was not surprised.

Currently, the launch conference of "Never Breaking Connection" has been scheduled for the end of the month. This launch conference serves as an advance screening of the film.

You should know that nowadays TV dramas are paying more and more attention to publicity, and many TV dramas will even conduct roadshows in advance.

But the promotion of "Never Breaking Connection" this time is even stronger, and he directly organized a three-city roadshow.

The Imperial Capital, the Magic Capital, and Tianjin.

The first stop for watching movies was in the imperial capital.

And it is scheduled for the end of the month, which is January 1th. As for the trial screening of "Mining Town" after the official promotion, it is scheduled for January 30th.

"What a coincidence."

That evening, Lin Xing and Liu Zhou made an appointment for dinner. Wei Fei was also there. When he heard that Lin Xing was also going to audition, he couldn't help but laugh: "I don't need to audition for this play. I'm just going to make a cameo appearance."

"Mining Town" is a big project, and it is also a mission drama, so all the actors must be veteran actors. Not only that, because the play is going to be performed in dialect, other actors who don't speak dialect will naturally be excluded.

For example, Liang Yi.

"I actually received an audition invitation at the beginning, but then Director Tao told me that they were going to use the local dialect, so naturally I didn't have any chance..."

Liang Yi naturally also attended today's dinner, and not only Liang Yi, but also Ren Shuai and Guan Peng came.

The spy drama that the two of them filmed together had already been completed, and it was being prepared as this year's opening drama, and its release date was almost the same as "Never Breaking the Line".

"This is really a coincidence."

Ren Shuai said with a smile: "Ah Xing, I really don't want to compete with you, but we have already set the date early, who knew that Director Xie would also set the date so hastily later???"

"You can't really blame us for rushing to set the release date."

Liu Zhou said helplessly: "You all know that CCTV's opening drama of the year is "Happy Today", but the male and female protagonists of this TV series have been taken away, there is nothing we can do..."

Nowadays, most actresses are carried away for tax evasion, while male actors are more likely to be carried away for prostitution and drug use.

However, it is rare to see both the male and female protagonists appear in the same TV series.

The film "Happily Ever After" originally had a very strong cast, and it was a comedy, so it was perfect to release it during the Chinese New Year.

The result was really embarrassing.

The actress was reported for tax evasion, and then during the live broadcast, she insisted that if I had evaded taxes, wouldn’t the tax bureau know about it?

As a result, the live broadcast room was blocked during the live broadcast, and then the tax bureau issued a document, it turned out that the actress had evaded taxes several times before. In addition, the actor was directly named by the police for his previous prostitution.

Ok.

Don’t you think this is a coincidence?
Several male artists who had previously been caught soliciting prostitution had denied it by force when they were named by the police, but this time the male actor continued to do so.

"I don't even want to mention their names."

Liu Zhou was a little annoyed.

Lin Xing was a little confused, because he didn't understand why Liu Zhou seemed to be angrier? ?
Wei Fei was a little speechless: "Let's see if you dare to be a good person in the future? Will you still follow the introduction?"

"What's going on???"

Ren Shuai asked with some confusion.

Wei Fei said unhappily, "Brother Zhou thought Xia Mei and Jia Hai had good acting skills, and the director of "Happy Today" happened to be Lao Cao, so he introduced the two of them to audition..."

"Fuck..."

After hearing what Wei Fei said, Guan Peng immediately swore.

No wonder Liu Zhou is so angry.

To be honest, Lao Cao, the director of "Happy Today", might have wanted to kill Liu Zhou with a knife.

You see, if you introduced only one person and he failed, it would be fine, but what happened is that both of the people he introduced failed.

Who can bear this???
"I don't even have the face to call Lao Cao now. If this drama "Happy Today" only had one actor, I would just replace their faces. But there are problems with both the male and female protagonists, so it's impossible to replace their faces. We can only reshoot..."

Liu Zhou became a little annoyed when he said this.

The key point is that he originally thought that Xia Mei and Jia Hai were both pretty good people. He never thought that one of them would dare to evade taxes, and the other would dare to solicit prostitution in such a public opinion environment? ?
"Okay, let's not talk about these two bastards anymore."

Liu Zhou said to Lin Xing, "The industry is quite optimistic about "Mining Town" this time, and most of the male actors need to be able to speak northwestern dialects, so keep going."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "I'll try my best. I can't say that I will definitely be selected. Just like when I was on 'Never Breaking Line', I was eliminated."

“Can this be the same??”

Liu Zhou shook his head and said, "After all, the film "Never Breaking the Line" was already decided, but this time "Mining Town" was not."

Wei Fei said, "That's right, and Director Tao has already said that everything depends on the actor's acting skills, or whether the actor is suitable for the role. From what I see in the script, Ah Xing, you are the chosen Cheng Hao."

Although Ren Shuai and Guan Peng had not read the script, they both thought that Lin Xing was quite suitable for the role based on the official announcement.

What’s more important is that Lin Xing can play both teenagers and middle-aged people.

Liang Yi had also read the script, and he said directly: "Brother Xing, Sister Fei is right. When I read the script, I was thinking that I could play this role, but Brother Xing, you are more suitable."

Lin Xing looked at the crowd and was somewhat speechless: "I say, please stop flattering me. It's already stressful for me."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come, let's have a drink first. I hope our dramas will be a big hit this year."

Guan Peng picked up his glass and said with a smile: "This is my first time playing the leading male role in a TV series. Whether I can fly depends on this one."

"Yes, whether I can get rid of the label of ratings poison depends entirely on this time."

Ren Shuai also said with some worry: "Since "Death Knell", I have only accepted this TV series. As you know, many scripts are either not suitable for me, or they are bad scripts, just want to overdraw my traffic. The script of "Counterattack" is really good, and it takes the path of comedy spy war, so I still like it very much..."

Both Ren Shuai and Guan Peng are once again playing the leading male role after so many years, and in such an important drama.

This time, the drama "Counterattack" is exclusively broadcast on Tan Province Satellite TV. It is obvious that Tan Province Satellite TV attaches great importance to this drama, otherwise it would not have given it exclusive broadcast.

The drama has been watched on a small scale now, and everyone thinks it’s quite good.

However, the results in the industry may sometimes be just a reference, which is not necessarily very reliable.

The real decisive factor is to see how it performs when it is first broadcast.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, after you take it out for a walk, you have to let the audience see what it is like.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Brother Guan, Lao Liang, I think the drama you two are working on will be a hit, maybe even more successful than mine."

"Ah Xing, just now you said that you don't want us to flatter you, why are you now slandering us?"

Guan Peng said with a smile: "Don't worry about whether it will be a hit or not. As long as the ratings don't flop, I'll be satisfied."

"Don't worry, Tan Province TV is not stupid. If your drama is not good, they will never take it over, and they will buy it out exclusively..."

Lin Xing looked at Guan Peng and said, "The themes and styles of our two dramas are completely different, so I think the audiences must be different. Maybe the two dramas can even expand the spy war genre..."

The current spy war genre is already big enough, but Lin Xing believes that with the launch of the two spy war dramas "Never Breaking the Line" and "Counterattack", this genre will definitely expand.

In the workplace, most of the time, you will shoot the subject based on which direction the wind blows.

When spy war themes were not popular before, investors would not plan to shoot spy war dramas.

But later, with the rise of spy war dramas and the huge success of "For Whom the Bell Tolls", it can be said that more and more capital began to enter the market.

Although Ren Yi's film "Darkness Before Dawn" was a minor flop, it doesn't matter.

Most people don’t think their film will flop; instead, they think it won’t end up like “Dark Before Dawn.”

Otherwise, why are there so many spy war dramas popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain? ?

More importantly, the industry believes that even Xie Qiang is going to film a spy war drama, so doesn’t this prove that the spring of spy war dramas is still here? ?
Of course, compared to the fame of Xie Qiang, the director of "Never Breaking the Line", Wang Ning, the director of "Counterattack", is not that famous. Even the screenwriter of "Counterattack" is a little unknown in the industry.

Otherwise, the crew would not have invited Guan Peng and Ren Shuai. It’s because the other bigger names in their lineup are simply not interested at all.

But it was this production team and cast that were exclusively acquired by Tan Province TV after watching the drama.

What does this mean? ?
