This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 402: Slap in the face, coincidence, speed
"Axing, I'm sorry."

Ren Yi said angrily: "I didn't expect Ding Fei to be so impatient to promote it..."

"What??"

Lin Xing was a little surprised: "Isn't it too early for your TV series to start airing? What are you promoting at this time?"

Ren Yi was also a little speechless: "Because it's almost finished, and Ding Fei even wants to start broadcasting as soon as possible, so he wants to take advantage of your current popularity to quickly take advantage of it..."

"alright."

Lin Xing didn't feel angry at all. After all, they would only cooperate once in this kind of situation.

No, to be exact, there is no chance of cooperation at all.

If it weren't for Ren Yi's consideration, Lin Xing would never have gone to the crew of "Long Time No See".

Moreover, Ding Fei's behavior was indeed a bit too dishonorable. Just as Lin Xing and Ren Yi had just said, he understood but did not agree with it.

This time too.

It was obvious that Ding Fei made Ren Yi quite mad. In Ren Yi's opinion, I treated you as a friend, starred in your TV series as a friendly gesture, and invited Lin Xing to visit the set.

As a result, Ding Fei didn't care about Ren Yi's feelings at all, and directly put the promotion on the Internet without even thinking about how to get along with Ren Yi.

It was precisely because of this that Ren Yi took the initiative to call Lin Xing to explain.

"It's really nothing, Brother Yi, this is nothing, you are too polite."

After listening to Ren Yi's words, Lin Xing said with a bit of a smile: "It's really nothing, how could I be angry about this???"

After chatting for a few more sentences, Lin Xing hung up the phone.

At this time, Lin Xing also looked at the news online.

"Oh my god, Lin Xing actually ran to Jiangcheng. Is he preparing to shoot a movie or TV series in Jiangcheng?"

"Lin Xing, who disappeared for more than half a month, unexpectedly appeared in Jiangcheng, but he seems to be in good condition."

"I also think that Lin Xing is in good shape, but I don't know when he will continue filming the drama."

"Please ask Lin Xing to join the crew, hurry up and join the crew to film."

"Lin Xing, please join the team quickly."

……

This "Long Time No See" was an active promotion of Lin Xing's visit to the set, and the editing method was also used to make it look like Lin Xing was going to act in "Long Time No See".

Many film crews have actually done this before, and it's basically just to take advantage of the popularity.

To be honest, generally speaking, it is an unspoken rule, that is, if you are willing to use it, then use it.

Even if artists are cheated many times, they will accept it.

But Lin Xing is not such a person.

He didn't want to have anything to do with "Long Time No See" from the very beginning, and he even hated the promotion of "Long Time No See" extremely.

It’s still what Lin Xing said to Ren Yi before, he sincerely feels that the drama "Long Time No See" was not intended to be taken seriously.

Therefore, Lin Xing called Ding Chunling directly: "Sister Ling, yes, I saw the online publicity. Please ask the reporter to send my response. I have no intention of acting in this TV series. Not only that, I went to visit the set because of Ren Yi. I am not familiar with the director of "Long Time No See" and other people..."

Ding Chunling was a little surprised: "Axing, do you have to be so direct?"

"Well, I didn't respond because I didn't want to cooperate with them in hype, but I also didn't want to deceive the audience. Why should I cooperate with them when they are cheating?"

Lin Xing nodded gently and said, "Anyway, just let a few entertainment media report it. There are two points. First, I am not familiar with them, so I will not get involved. Second, I am not participating in this drama."

Just like that, half an hour later, Zhalang Entertainment wrote on its official V account: "According to Lin Xing's studio, Lin Xing went to visit the set of "Long Time No See" because of Ren Yi. At the same time, Lin Xing did not participate in this TV series..."

In addition to Zhalang Entertainment, several other media outlets also reported on the event.

"Oh my god, Lin Xing really got slapped in the face."

"Hahaha, Lin Xing really doesn't want anyone to take advantage of his popularity."

"I can actually understand that. After all, let's not talk about the distant past. For example, this TV series was directed by Ding Fei, and Ding Fei might have been afraid of failure before."

……

Everyone was discussing more at this time, and they were all paying attention to the situation in the circle. Basically, they were still quite impressed by Ding Fei's previous failed dramas.

Everyone in the industry can understand it.

No one wants to fail, but if you fail twice in a row, you will naturally have to think of other ways because your chances will be slim.

Everyone in the industry is aware of everything Ding Fei did, but he happened to meet Lin Xing, who did not play by the rules.

If it were other people, they might just suffer in silence, and many artists don’t really want to start a fight.

As a result, Lin Xing didn't tolerate it.

There is no discussion about the drama "Long Time No See" on his Weibo. He even ignores it directly and uses other channels to let the media speak out.

Lin Xing remained silent, and even seemed not to want to get close.

The crew of "Long Time No See" messed up this matter.

You should know that Lin Xing is not afraid of public opinion or so-called reputation. Lin Xing is having a real bumper harvest this year. The ratings of his TV series have skyrocketed, and his movie has directly refreshed the ceiling of art films.

The TV series "Mining Town" is now almost the focus of official promotion.

Many people even said that Lin Xing had already secured the Best Actor award for the movie "Sunspots".

In the end, an actor's reputation will ultimately be judged by his works. Just based on these two works this year, Lin Xing's reputation cannot be bad.

This is an era of comparing the worst. All actors and artists are lying down or even being lazy. At this time, Lin Xing really has to rely on his peers to set him off.

Because of this, everyone has relatively high trust in Lin Xing. Also because of the trust, as soon as Lin Xing’s studio spoke out, everyone immediately supported Lin Xing.

This is where the actors’ feathers are sometimes used.

The next day, Lin Xing looked at the online discussions and nodded slightly. It seemed that Ding Chunling was quite quick in her actions. Anyway, the matter was done quite quickly.

Next, we have no control over how "Long Time No See" wants to hype or promote Lin Xing.

He just felt that Ren Yi was too miserable and had trusted the wrong person. This time, Ren Yi might have to take the blame for "Long Time No See".

If the TV series fails in ratings, Ding Fei as the director will of course have to take the blame, but Ren Yi will also have to take the blame because he is the leading male role.

If Ren Yi's drama fails again, then his two dramas will have failed.

However, since Ren Yi wants to repay the favor, then this matter is unsolvable. Besides, Ren Yi doesn't have much of a headache, so it's not Lin Xing's turn to consider this matter.

He was just looking at the script of "Going to Heaven" and found it a little interesting, especially the character in the script. At least this character was not noble, nor was he great and glorious.

This is a little person, a little person who made a mistake, a little person with a kind heart.

This is a realistic film, and focusing on the funeral industry is relatively novel.

Many TV dramas and movies nowadays basically avoid talking about life and death, especially the funeral industry, which will not be filmed by everyone.

Who are you shooting such a heavy subject for?
Reality is already bitter enough, and everyone just wants to enjoy some pleasure.

But the script of "Going to Heaven" is not heavy at all, it even has a bit of comedy style.

You know what, Lin Xing is indeed a little interested in this script.

The scripts that Ding Chunling had chosen for Lin Xing before were too similar, and many of them were even exactly the same.

"Brother Ning, I'm Lin Xing, where are you right now?"

Lin Xing dialed Qi Ning's number directly.

Qi Ning said, "I'm here at the Yangtze River Bridge because I need to select more scenes for the script. I want to see which scene is suitable when the time comes. What? Ah Xing, have you finished reading the script???"

Qi Ning was quite surprised to receive Lin Xing's sudden call, but after the surprise he felt a little excited.

If Lin Xing is willing to take on this script, then the script can be improved by several levels.

You know, in Qi Ning's opinion, "Going to Heaven" is also an art film, and Lin Xing is now the male god of art films. If he is cast in the film, it will be a guarantee of the film.

However, Qi Ning was still a little nervous inside.

First of all, he went from being a screenwriter to a director, and he is actually far from it.

Secondly, why would Lin Xing act in such a low-budget movie like yours? ?
Qi Ning, the actor of "Going to Heaven", was not even planning to invite popular actors. He was planning to invite some actors with high cost performance.

These are actually challenges as well.

Lin Xing’s first two movies had a box office of over 20 million yuan and over billion yuan respectively. Both movies were so successful, would he still take risks? ? ?
When Qi Ning and Ren Yi were chatting about how this role was very suitable for Lin Xing, he jokingly said: "But it's impossible for Lin Xing to participate in the performance."

But Ren Yi said, "You still don't understand Lin Xing. When did Lin Xing shoot a drama to become famous? Even though all the dramas shot by Lin Xing have become popular, how many of them thought they were popular before filming started?"

If Qi Ning's script was really good, Ren Yi thought Lin Xing would accept it. That was why Ren Yi called Lin Xing after reading the script.

Ren Yi felt that this script was really good and was really suitable for Lin Xing.

This is how the scene yesterday happened.

But when Qi Ning heard that Lin Xing didn't want to take any acting jobs recently, he no longer had any hope in his heart.

The reason is simple. Lin Xing's answer is a tactful refusal.

However, Qi Ning did not expect that Lin Xing would call him early this morning.

An hour later, Lin Xing met Qi Ning. The two found a place to rest and started chatting.

"I've read this script and I quite like it. I want to ask what stage this project is at now?"

Lin Xing looked at Qi Ning and asked seriously, "I didn't listen very carefully yesterday."

Qi Ning was excited when he heard Lin Xing say that. He quickly said, "The current script is almost finalized, and the project has been approved. However, because I still need to do some field research, the earliest we can start shooting this movie is in late October..."

This is what Qi Ning said to Lin Xing yesterday.

They won't be able to finish filming in a short time. Qi Ning has a lot of things to prepare, and the actors haven't been decided yet.

“Where’s the funding??”

Lin Xing asked: "Has the funding for this film been secured?"

"The funds are actually in place, but I'm still planning to raise some more. Recently I've been working with..."

Before Qi Ning finished speaking, Lin Xing interrupted him and said, "How much funding do you need? I'll help you find a solution when the time comes."

This time, Lin Xing plans to continue bringing in capital into the group.

Lin Xing is satisfied with the script now, but since this is Qi Ning’s first time as a director, he needs an experienced producer.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xing called Ning Ping: "Director Ning, I hope I didn't disturb you."

Ning Ping said with a smile: "I'm not busy, I'm not busy. I just attended a meeting of the Directors Association. They mainly asked me to talk about the reasons for the success of the movie..."

At this point, Ning Ping asked in confusion: "Ah Xing, didn't you go to relax? How come you suddenly have time to call me???"

Lin Xing talked about the script of "Going to Heaven" and then asked, "Director Ning, are you free after late October? I would like to invite you to be the producer of this play..."

"That's fine."

Ning Ping smiled and said, "I haven't chosen the script yet. I will be in a period of leisure for the rest of the year, so I can be the producer. Please send me the script..."

Lin Xing chatted with Ning Ping for a few more words, then hung up the phone. He then sent the script of "Going to Heaven" to Ning Ping.

Then, Lin Xing called Xin Hui again: "Where is it???"

Xin Hui said excitedly: "Damn, Lao Lin, you finally remembered me. I was fishing with someone. I've been fascinated by fishing recently. Do you want to come and see me?"

Lin Xing said: "Okay, where are you fishing???"

"In Jiangcheng..."

Xin Hui said: "My buddy has a fishing ground in Jiangcheng, so I came over to play..."

"That's a coincidence. I'm in Jiangcheng too. Send me your location and I'll be there right away."

Lin Xing said.

A few seconds later, Xin Hui sent the location.

Lin Xing opened it and took a look. The location was not too far away. He directly called an online taxi and went to find Xin Hui with Qi Ning.

In less than an hour, Lin Xing arrived at the fishing ground.

"Axing, let me introduce you."

Xin Hui introduced Lin Xing, "This is Lao Liang. This guy came to Jiangcheng to play, and he found this fishing ground while fishing, and then he bought it directly. I was bored, so I found him..."

Liang Yuan grabbed Lin Xing and said, "Brother Xing, hello, hello, I finally meet you. I asked Xin Hui to introduce you to someone a long time ago, but this guy always stood me up..."

Liang Yuanlinxing in front of him knew it, and he also smiled and said, "You are too polite. I have to thank you for always speaking up for me."
