This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 399 ends, regret (asking for monthly ticket)
On June 6th, "Sunspots" was released, with a single-day box office of 19 million. On July 1.3th, one month after "Sunspots" was released, the single-day box office even on Sunday only took less than 7 million. It can be said that its potential is completely gone.

But for the crew, they were already content, and they were even about to celebrate with drums and gongs in the imperial capital.

One billion.

When the art film "Sunspots" broke 20 billion, it was almost crazy.

You have to know that the number of 20 billion really sets a record for an art film.

Even Ning Ping didn't expect this.

He originally thought that breaking 5 million would be good enough.

Now the potential of "Sunspots" has basically been tapped. The box office in the last week has fallen drastically. It seems that the final box office will only reach 21 billion.

But who dares to be dissatisfied? ? ?
Liu Jing was eager to celebrate his success at this time.

Because for Liu Jing, he has also had two movies fail in a row. Not only that, his reputation is now also suffering from serious negative effects.

This is often the case, what actors need to do is to let their works speak for themselves.

Why did Liu Jing take on the movie "Sunspots"???
He just wanted to tell everyone that he is still the actor who won the Best Actor award.

Not only that, Liu Jing wants to make a direct comeback with this art film.

Because of this, Liu Jing almost didn't ask for any remuneration. From the beginning, he thought that as long as the movie didn't flop, it would be fine even if it could make 100 million at the box office.

That's right.

What else do you think about when watching art films?

One hundred million, that's crazy.

What no one expected was that the movie actually broke 20 billion, and the final box office has now exceeded 21 billion.

So at the last stop of the roadshow, Liu Jing also shed tears on the scene. It was obvious that Liu Jing was indeed a little out of control.

He first expressed his surprise, and at the same time emphasized his gratitude to Lin Xing, because the police officer at the scene just now said that Lin Xing and Liu Jing caught several thieves when they were experiencing life together. For Liu Jing, although Lin Xing is younger than himself, his understanding of the characters is better than his.

In short, Liu Jing thanked Lin Xing.

Not only Liu Jing, but even Feng Cheng said on the spot that he is a socially anxious person, and he often speaks directly. To put it nicely, he has low emotional intelligence, and to put it bluntly, he is stupid.

When Feng Cheng was interviewed a few years ago, he was often tricked by reporters. It was because he was not very famous, otherwise he would have been exposed online right now.

Because of this, Feng Cheng has become smarter over the years. He never accepts interviews and tries not to participate in variety shows. He even rarely speaks during many drama roadshows.

Of course, he was basically not used in many previous art film roadshows.

But this time it was different. Feng Cheng had the same mentality as Liu Jing, which was that he finally made it.

Feng Cheng’s biggest problem before was that he didn’t have a high-grossing art film. Of course, it is also difficult for art films to have high box office.

The movies he acted in weren't very popular either, so he was only relatively good in the industry, but got very little from the audience.

This time it's different.

This time, Feng Cheng really gained a lot of attention with his role as Ding Lei in "Sunspots".

Even after watching some of Feng Cheng's previous works, people felt that Feng Cheng should have become famous a long time ago with such good acting skills.

In fact, Feng Cheng is a few years younger than Ye Wen, but Ye Wen is already considered Feng Cheng's senior in the circle.

But this time it's different.

Feng Cheng was even able to successfully break into the uncle circle with the help of Ding Lei. Of course, the follow-up will still depend on Feng Cheng's performance, but at least with this month's roadshow and the box office of "Sunspots", Feng Cheng will reap a lot of benefits.

As for Luo Yuan, Liu Ning and others, there is no need to mention them. In short, everyone benefited from it.

After the last stop of the roadshow, everyone took a group photo together and also made some promotional materials.

After returning to the imperial capital on the 20th, Lin Xing first returned to the studio.

"Here are some recent scripts..."

Ding Chunling smiled bitterly at Lin Xing and said, "Because of the huge success of Sunspots, almost all movie scripts are now literary films..."

"I said I won't accept scripts for the time being..."

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "Forget about these scripts for now. I plan to disappear for a while."

Ding Chunling said: "You can disappear for a while, that's fine, but you have to participate in CCTV's "Artists' Appointment" next. Because of the good reviews of the mission drama "Mining Town", you have been invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, so you naturally have to participate in CCTV's interview..."

"Artists Have an Appointment" is a long-standing interview variety show on CCTV. As Zhao Fang said, interview variety shows have become increasingly difficult to produce in recent years. Even Minnie has started doing outdoor interviews, but CCTV doesn't care.

Since 2000, "Artists' Appointment" has been conducting interviews for nearly 26 years, and the "artists" in this "Artists' Appointment" are not just people from the entertainment industry.

Because this is CCTV, the "artists" in "Artists' Appointment" even refer to craftsmen, so people from all walks of life will come to participate.

Moreover, from the very beginning, "Artists Have an Appointment" has been an interview program, with CCTV host Qi Bing chatting with guests.

After Qi Bing retired in 2015, the show "Artists Have an Appointment" was replaced by CCTV's new host Zheng Hai. Zheng Hai's hosting style is more relaxed and he doesn't do those tear-jerking things.

You should know that Zheng Hai initially hosted "Focus Interview" and "News in Three Minutes". He can be both positive and funny.

Zheng Hai has been in charge of "Artists Have an Appointment" for more than 10 years now. This interview program has remained standing, and it basically only adheres to one principle, which is: "Always be consistent. You can change as you like, but I will never change."

It can be said that "Artists Have an Appointment" is CCTV's trump card interview. Unlike other interviews, they do not invite only popular and high-traffic interviewers, and they even invite some young and handsome guys.

"If there was no TV series called 'Mining Town', they would never have invited you."

Finally, Ding Chunling said again: "And we really have no way to refuse."

Lin Xing said he knew: "When will the recording be?"

"At the end of the month."

Ding Chunling said: "So you have to stay in the capital at least until the end of the month."

"Row."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "It just so happens that Sunspots will not be taken off the theaters for the time being. They will hold a celebration banquet in a few days to promote it further..."

For the movie "Sunspots", a box office of over 20 billion is already an over-achievement, and even an above-average performance.

But no one will complain about low box office.

If the box office of "Sunspots" can go further, Bohai Film and Television will certainly be happy.

For now, the celebration banquet is basically the last promotion.

According to Bohai Film and Television, it would be great if "Sunspots" could finally break 21 billion.

The current situation is that although it is only tens of millions short, it often takes a long time to grind for these tens of millions. After all, sometimes we can't even reach 300 million a day. It may even be or million a week.

There will be more and more new films coming out, and your "Sunspots" may not even get 800 million in a week.

The market for art films is so small, and it has already been released for 31 days, what else do you want? ? ?

Therefore, the celebration banquet had to be held as soon as possible, so on July 7th, "Sunspots" held a celebration banquet in Beijing.

At the celebration banquet, Ning Ping first gave a speech, basically thanking this and that.

In addition to Ning Ping, actors such as Lin Xing, Liu Jing, Luo Yuan, Feng Cheng, and Liu Ning also gave speeches.

Today we are just eating, drinking and celebrating.

At the same time, the publicity and promotion department will capture some scenes and then extract some text from them to promote "Sunspots".

Just like that, the celebration banquet on July 7th successfully became a hot topic, along with Lin Xing’s short interview.

This is an exclusive interview with China Film News.

You should know that Lin Xing is now considered a male god in art films. "Killing Ading" and "Sunspots" are the two movies that have secured Lin Xing's position as the male god in art films.

"I don't deserve this title. My decision to act in art films was really a coincidence. I just took the role when I saw the script was suitable."

"I feel like I'm still a long way off in the art film industry. I always think that what Director Huang Ning said is right, the market for art films is still huge."

"Why are you resisting commercial films?? I'm an actor, don't actors want to try everything???"

"I don't have any plans for the future. I want to take a break. To be honest, I feel like I have no life after this period of continuous work. When an actor has no life, then he naturally has no content."

"I really think it's normal that I can't win the Magnolia Award for Best Actor. As for the other three awards, I would like to win them, but I still think it's up to fate. I'm still young and there will always be opportunities."

"I won't respond to the Hundred Flowers Awards. I haven't even been nominated. Whatever I say here seems to be just me being envious?"

……

Lin Xing's comments on the interview with China Film News were quite pertinent.

Lin Xing's comments on the No.1 spy hero in TV dramas, the male god in art films, the missed Magnolia Award for Best Actor, his nomination for Best Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards, etc., were quite pertinent.

Success is success, failure is failure.

It's just an award. Do you think it's important? It is important, but if you say it's not important, it's not important either.

Lin Xing still walks his own path steadily.

Regarding Lin Xing's choice of films to take on next, and even the choice between movies and TV series, Lin Xing said very pertinently: "It depends on the script."

If the script is good, take it.

As for pressure???

Lin Xing really doesn’t have it.

"I never thought that my next TV series would have a viewership rating of over 4, and I certainly never thought that my next movie would be a failure if its box office was less than 20 billion."

"How is that possible? If we use statistics to judge the success or failure of movies and TV series, then decades ago, those TV series that were called classics were relatively poor at the time, and were even considered the worst by the audience."

……

This interview was actually also to promote "Sunspots".

While the popularity is still there, the China Film News naturally also wants to take advantage of the wave of popularity.

And to be honest, China Film News has indeed benefited from this popularity.

"You know what, Lin Xing is really awesome. This TV series and movie are really a double-edged sword."

"That's right. To be honest, I really admire Lin Xing. The key is that he always makes the right choice."

"This is really unsolvable. Damn it, why else would so many people say that Lin Xing has cheats???"

……

These comments are all about admiration for Lin Xing, or people who think Lin Xing is awesome.

This report from the China Film News indeed made Lin Xing a hot topic once again.

Although this popularity exists, its impact on the box office of "Sunspots" on the day is almost negligible.

If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work.

As I said, the market for art films has reached this point, and the market has been completely eaten up. At this time, the impact of new films will naturally be gone.

At the end of July, Lin Xing participated in an interview with "Artists Have an Appointment" again.

Because "Sunspots" was withdrawn from theaters the day before, the final box office was actually a little short of 21 billion. It is a little regrettable, but not much.

After all, this was within everyone's expectations. What's more, the box office has already exceeded 30 billion. What else are you dissatisfied with? ?

When Lin Xing was recording "Artists Have an Appointment", he had actually done some research for this variety show.

To put it bluntly, this variety show is completely different from other variety shows.

Because the values ​​of "Artists Have an Appointment" are so great, it is a program that allows people to appreciate life and give people some positive energy at the same time.

Since it is positive energy, it naturally needs to be more sensational.

Besides, CCTV has always liked sensationalism.

This "Artist's Appointment" program will often investigate an artist from childhood to adulthood, and even their social relationships, in order to make the artist let down their armor, or in other words, let go of their defenses.

According to what some people in the industry said, this "Artists Have an Appointment" can actually be called "Artists Are Unguarded", which basically means talking about everything with everyone, but it must not destroy people's values.

You are like the artists who are kept by men, you are like some people in the entertainment industry who were mistresses but were praised as good wives, and there are some who are just little gangsters but are praised for being so kind, etc.

None of these are possible.

"Teacher Lin, we don't have a script for this show. Here are some of our procedures..."

A staff member had come to take Lin Xing backstage and began to say to Lin Xing: "If you have any requests, you can ask."

"I didn't ask for it."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, "Just record it however you say. I'll listen to you."
