This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 388 I dare not think that even Lao Zhong cursed

"Axing, are you really not going to participate in variety shows anymore?"

After finishing the recording, Minnie and Lin Xing found a pub, and they drank and talked about recent events.

Lin Xing smiled and said, "It's not that I won't participate in variety shows. If it's to promote a TV series or movie, I will definitely participate, but I won't participate in any permanent variety shows."

Minnie advised Lin Xing: "Ah Xing, it's really hard to do variety shows nowadays. Our show "Tonight's Drama" is almost over..."

"what??"

Lin Xing was a little surprised: "'Tonight's Drama' is over?? Isn't it a new version??"

"It's meaningless. As a variety show that has been around for almost 20 years, it's really too old. We've reformed it several times and even invited popular artists to join, but the ratings haven't improved much. So the station should end it decently while it's still popular..."

Minnie said to Lin Xing: "Actually, the station is planning to launch a new variety show, and they hope you can be one of the hosts, and the conditions are..."

"Sister Ni, there's no need to tell me the conditions."

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "A few days ago, the second season of "Reinventing the Actor" was also being prepared. At the same time, they also wanted to invite me to be a mentor, but I also declined. I really don't want to be exposed too much for the time being..."

"let it go."

Minnie didn't try to persuade him again, she just wanted to convey a message. Of course, deep down in her heart, she hoped that Lin Xing would be the host.

Putting aside other things, just based on Lin Xing's sense of variety, emotional intelligence and even reaction ability, Lin Xing's participation in variety shows can simply achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, there is another point, that is, Lin Xing's traffic is huge. How much publicity costs can be saved by having Lin Xing participate in variety shows? ?
Originally, the leaders of Minnie TV treated Lin Xing very well and could even provide some resources. You have to know that the resources of Tan Province Satellite TV are extremely good.

As a result, Minnie was interrupted by Lin Xing before she even mentioned it.

Of course, even as a friend, Minnie also advised Lin Xing that the acting industry’s success is often very short-lived.

Look at those famous superstars 20 years ago, how many of them are still remembered by the post-10s generation? ?

Even without 20 years ago, how many superstars who were very popular 10 years ago are still popular now? ? ?
Therefore, Minnie believes that actors should try their best to expand their influence while they are still popular, and even make crazy money.

This line will expire in a moment.

"Ah Xing, you've been out of fashion for ten years. Haven't you faced reality yet? If you're not popular in this circle, no one will consider you a friend."

Minnie advised Lin Xing.

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "That's what it says, but I still think that the waves will wash away the sand. I believe that flowing water does not compete for the first place, but for the continuous flow. It is indeed easy to take shortcuts and make money, but I still have some pursuit of acting, or I still have some persistence in this industry, so I will not go along with the crowd for now."

Lin Xing said this in private.

He didn't want to play some middle school student act like "I'm so tough that I can't learn to bend over", and he even less wanted to create a "I don't like money" persona in public.

He just lives a more transparent life because he has lived again.

In the next few days, the reputation of "Mining Town" continued to rise, and even the score increased directly from 8.8 to 9.4 points.

The king of dramas, a great drama, another drama that surpasses "Never Breaking Connection".

The show received extremely high ratings and popularity since it was aired on May 5, and the data soared across the board in the following days.

Among them, Lin Xing performed stably, and veteran actors like Fu Da showed everyone that although they usually pretend to be dead and lazy in acting, they are still very strong when they are serious.

Not only that, many of the young actors in the play are acting in a TV series for the first time, but they also performed perfectly.

After all, there are only 20 episodes in total, so on May 5th, the Penguin Video has basically reached its finale.

Then on May 5th will be the CCTV finale.

"It happened too fast, damn, it was over before I could even react."

"I think this drama is the real number one drama. It is not inferior to "Never Breaking the Wire" at all."

"When I watch a lot of dramas, I feel that they are too watery and dragged out in various ways. Many TV dramas clearly end in 30 episodes, but they have to be padded to 40 episodes or even 50 episodes. But when I watch "Minning Town", I just want to ask why it is so short?"

"To be honest, I think this ending is just right. Although everyone has escaped poverty, they still need to work hard for a better life in the future. I think this sudden ending is right."

……

On May 5, when the Penguin Video finale was aired, "Mining Town" directly topped the trending search list.

Among them, Liu Ying gained one million followers in these seven days.

Everything happened just as Lin Xing had expected, Liu Ying really became famous.

On May 5, "Mining Town" also had its finale on CCTV, and the ratings set a new record.

Break 6.

You should know that there is only one TV series with a viewership rating of over 5 this year, and that is "Never Breaking Connection". Of course, the viewership rating of "Never Breaking Connection" is higher, but no matter how strong it is, "Never Breaking Connection" has never broken 6.

This is a bonus from CCTV.

If it were on other TV stations, it would be extremely difficult for a show like "Never Breaking Line" to get a viewership rating of over 6, but on CCTV, if the show is good, it may even be possible to set a record.

Obviously this time it set a record.

Break 6.

The first TV series in 2026 to have a viewership rating of over 6, not only this year, but also the only TV series in recent years to have a viewership rating of over 6.

As we all know, with fewer and fewer people watching TV nowadays, how amazing is it that this TV series has exceeded 6? ? ?

"Fuck, is there something wrong with this data? How is it possible that the ratings can directly exceed 6???"

"To be honest, I thought the peak ratings of a movie right now was the ratings of "Never Breaking the Line", but I never expected that the ratings of "Min Ning Town" would actually break 6???"

"I can't believe it. I'm telling you what I mean. Who the hell could have thought of that?"

"I really didn't expect it, but if you think about it again, it seems reasonable that the ratings of "Mining Town" have exceeded 6. First of all, this drama is a poverty alleviation drama and a mission drama. The government has been promoting it. Secondly, this drama is quite good, and the actors in the drama all act very well. In addition, "Mining Town" was promoted in CCTV's "News Network" yesterday. Just imagine what kind of treatment this is?"

"Damn, CCTV's 'News Broadcast' really came to promote a drama. It was quite unexpected."

……

In short, when the ratings of "Mining Town" came out, many people were not only amazed but also shocked.

For many years, no TV series has had a viewership rating of over 6. You know, it would be incredible if a TV series had a viewership rating of over 5.

For most TV series, even if the box office breaks 5, let alone 2, they will have to hold a big celebration party.

As a result, who would have thought that such a drama, which was said by the outside world to be a main theme drama when it was first aired, that there was no market for poverty alleviation, that the market for such dramas was extremely low, and that Lin Xing might be doomed to fail, would have a viewership rating of over 6 in the finale.

Break 6. Oh my god.

Even Lao Zhong said on his Weibo: "I remember when Lin Xing got the leak for "Never Breaking Connection", many people said whether Lin Xing had cheats. Now I think whether Lin Xing really had cheats? Otherwise, how could such a mainstream drama like his get a ratings of over 6???
……

Breaking 6!!!!

At the end, Lao Zhong almost screamed.

The drama reviews that Lao Zhong had written before were all very light-hearted, but this time she wrote something quite exciting.

This kind of excitement can only be understood by those who like the drama. After all, it is really a miracle for a drama to break 6.

Who dares to believe it? ? ?

With the current sluggish TV drama market, many TV dramas have difficulty breaking 1. Just look at the final ratings of "Spy Blood", which dropped to 1.

Yes.

Yang Tian opened champagne at halftime, bought a lot of press releases, and even thought about celebrating in advance.

The results of it? ?

The ratings broke 1 on the first day, and then both the ratings and word of mouth were a mess afterwards.

But what about "Mining Town"? ? ?

Lin Xing said in an interview that he tried his best to act in this TV series, but the final result of the TV series will still be up to the audience.

In short, Lin Xing sincerely feels that it is hard to say whether the TV series can become a hit.

Moreover, Lin Xing also said in an interview that the success of a TV series depends on many factors, and success depends on the team.

"I'm just an actor. All I can do is play my role well. I can't really decide anything else. So don't expect too much from me. I'm really not that strong."

This is exactly what Lin Xing said during the interview.

Be humble enough.

What’s more important is that if it were someone else, they might just say some polite words, but Lin Xing said these things seriously, and he believed this from the beginning to the end.

When dramas like "Bad Kids", "I Am Yu Xiaohei" and "Death Knell" were popular, Lin Xing would talk about other people in interviews, and he even remembered some supporting roles clearly.

In short, an actor may be able to pretend for a while, but since Lin Xing became popular again, he has been pretending like this in his masterpieces over the past three years.

Who else said Lin Xingzhuang?
This is the reputation that Lin Xing has built himself.

However, even though Lin Xing did not take credit for "Mining Town", when it was doing well in the beginning, Lin Xing said in many variety show interviews such as "Drama Talk", "Tonight's Drama", and "Guests Have Appointments" that it was all because of Wang Haifei's good script, Tao Lian's good directing, and Fu Da, Liu Ying and other actors' good acting.

Not only that, later Lin Xing also mentioned some executive directors, assistant directors and even staff members, expressing their gratitude for their hard work.

At the end of the CCTV interview, the host actually wanted to talk about the value of the role, that is, how much effort and homework Lin Xing put in to play this role, etc., but Lin Xing interrupted the host.

What kind of effort does he think he is making?

He is just an actor, and he is even experiencing the work of a poverty alleviation cadre, but the work of real poverty alleviation cadres is hard, and they are worthy of respect.

What does Lin Xing mean by this?

These interviews have further increased Lin Xing's popularity among the public.

Because it has so many fans.

The most important thing is that Lin Xingzhen is not one of those illiterate interviewers. Every interview he gives has substance.

This reminds people of when Lin Xing was on the road for the movie "Killing Ading". He was really working like a workaholic the whole time, and every interview was different.

It is that kind of energetic energy that makes many people think that Lin Xing is simply an iron man.

And this time in "Mining Town", everyone also witnessed Lin Xing's energy.

too strong.

Although there are many actors in "Mining Town", there are also many veteran actors, and even Ren Yi came to make a guest appearance.

But to be honest, whether these actors accept interviews or even help with publicity, it's really lacking.

And some guest stars, take Ren Yi for example, you can't ask him to guest star and also ask him to help promote it???
Therefore, most of the publicity still fell on Lin Xing.

The real male lead carries the show and also promotes the show himself.

As for the female lead Liu Ying, she accompanied Lin Xing throughout the whole process, but her interview was really lackluster. She couldn't react in many ways, and she really had to rely on Lin Xing to help her out several times.

So it cannot be said that Lin Xing had a hard time during these 10 days. He really was giving interviews every day, taking promotional photos for the drama, and appearing on variety shows, as well as doing live broadcasts, and sometimes even having some official interviews from CCTV.

Because the current "Mining Town" is officially stamped as a main-theme drama, Lin Xing also has to participate in some official activities.

Now you know how busy Lin Xing is.

Of course, this kind of busyness is also rewarding. If the TV series ratings exceed 6, it will be enough to make everyone look at Lin Xing with a higher regard.

No.

Not a high look.

Didn’t you see that even Lao Zhong was so excited that he swore?

When it first aired, everyone thought that "Mining Town" was the second best drama, second only to "Never Breaking Line", but now in terms of ratings, at least "Mining Town" is the best drama.

As for the popularity and discussion of online broadcasts, "Mining Town" is also quite strong. As for Douban's ratings, "Mining Town" is also far ahead.

So on May 5, "Mining Town" held a grand celebration banquet.

Bohai Film and Television is of course the most excited and happy one. You know, this is the first TV series they invested in, and it achieved such a good result. More importantly, they are going to promote the movie "Sunspots" next, and this just happens to help promote "Sunspots" invisibly.

Who made Lin Xing the leading actor in "Mining Town" and "Sunspots"?

All the actors of "Mining Town" were invited to today's celebration banquet.

The ratings have already exceeded 6, so when else should we show off? ?
