This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 428 Celebration, science fiction? ?

Lin Xing followed the entire roadshow of "Killing Ading", especially he also experienced life on his own for three months. Many people did not expect that Lin Xing would work so hard.

No one expected that the roadshow of "Killing Ading" would be a 24-hour non-stop live broadcast. This desperate roadshow made the box office of "Killing Ading" finally exceed million yuan, which surprised many people.

Then, many people questioned whether Lin Xing won the award just for the sake of winning the award for the movie "Sunspots", but the movie ended up grossing over 20 billion yuan, and during the roadshow, Lin Xing almost held up the show by himself.

Why have so many people wanted to invite Lin Xing to make movies since the movie "Sunspots" became a big hit? ?

Even many big directors specially invited Lin Xing to play roles. Although the leading male role would not be given to Lin Xing, they would definitely let Lin Xing shine. This is because they saw the added value of Lin Xing.

At that time, many people joked that Lin Xing did almost three or four jobs for one film salary.

Even though Lin Xing's pay is sky-high, it's so damn worth it.

Apart from anything else, Lin Xing alone was worth tens of millions in publicity and promotion.

However, many people still greatly underestimated Lin Xing's ability, and even greatly underestimated Lin Xing's box office appeal.

Everyone knows that TV actors have no box office appeal. Many TV actors, even if they are top stars, have very poor box office performances in the movies they starred in.

There are very few people who can be successful in both TV dramas and movies.

But Lin Xing happens to be one of these people.

In the past month, to be exact, since the official release of "Going to Heaven" on April 4, the entire month of April, plus the May Day holiday, the entire industry was in a state of confusion.

You thought Lin Xing was awesome, but you never imagined that Lin Xing would be so awesome.

This is unscientific.

Even the Sixth Princess interviewed Lin Xing five times in a row and wrote two reports about "Going to Heaven" in [Film News] and [Film Weekly].

Content is king.

This is the sentence Lin Xing said most often during interviews.

In Lin Xing's opinion, domestic audiences have suffered from [content] for too long.

It's not just movies, the same is true for TV series. Many of today's film and television dramas are short videos, and even everything they do is not based on the content. They treat movies and TV series as just commodities.

How to package the product?

How to find selling points from products?
How to get the audience to pay for this product? ?
This is also why someone asked Lin Xing this question during the previous roadshow.

There are many movies that have high box office, but people just stop discussing them after watching them, as if the movie didn’t even exist. But the long tail effect of the movie “Going to Heaven” is so long? ?

In response to this, Lin Xing answered very sincerely, that is, content is king, and the most important thing for a filmmaker is to produce good content, because the audience knows how to appreciate the level.

Just like a dish, did you cook it with your heart? Did you just fool around?
The audience can see it.

Many times, you can fool the audience once, and even make them pay for their feelings, but don't do it again.

Just like the former comedy king Chu Xingrui, decades ago, he was a rare comedy genius, and the comedies he made were unique. At that time in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, there could only be one comedy king, and that was Chu Xingrui.

He was not just an actor. Later, several films he directed set numerous records.

Let’s put it this way, Chu Xingrui has accompanied at least three generations of people in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and for those born in the 80s and 90s, Chu Xingrui is their god.

Because many people watched Chu Xingrui's pirated films at that time, so later as the Internet gradually developed and entered a new era, everyone said that we owed Chu Shen a movie ticket.

And Chu Xingrui is indeed capable. He basically takes on multiple roles in a movie, including starring actor, director, screenwriter, supervisor, executive producer, producer, etc. He is in charge of every movie.

But people will grow old. You may not be able to feel it yourself, or you may not feel it gradually, but suddenly one day, you find that you have been completely eliminated by the times.

But the more talented a person is, the more likely he is to be paranoid, just like Chu Xingrui. The little people he used to shoot could completely resonate with everyone, but later on, things gradually began to change.

Even when Chu Xingrui was in the limelight during those years when the traffic era was on the rise, he actually started using traffic artists.

So one movie is not as good as another.

At this time, the audience will only say: "I don't owe Chu Shen movie tickets anymore, and my money didn't come from the wind."

In addition to Chu Xingrui, there is also Kung Fu Emperor Chen Sheng, whose performance in each movie is worse than the last. Audiences even said, "Brother Sheng, please retire. Don't lose your reputation in your later years."

Therefore, overdrawing the audience indefinitely will only end up being abandoned by the audience.

Among them, Wang Ruoan is another exception. Many people have said that Wang Ruoan is hypocritical, that Wang Ruoan can't sing well, and that Wang Ruoan's acting skills are not good.

But nearly 40 years have passed, and Wang Ruoan has become a perennial in the music industry and an award-winning actor in the film industry. Most importantly, his works are not bad, and he continues to produce classic films.

Just because Wang Ruoan cherishes his reputation so much, he is truly rare in the entire film industry.

Just like many people have said before that Wang Ruo installed it, but Wang Ruo has been installing it for nearly 40 years.

Who the hell can pretend for so long?

It is also because of this that when everyone was mocking Lin Xingzhuang, many people used Wang Ruoan as an example.

Some people even said that this Lin Xing was Xiao Wang Ruoan.

You know, Wang Ruoan was very handsome when he first debuted, but his acting skills were quite embarrassing.

But later, Wang Ruoan relied on his own efforts and won the Best Actor award little by little.

He is handsome, but also hardworking. In particular, Wang Ruoan has extremely strong self-control, which is rare in the entire entertainment industry.

If you look at Lin Xing's resume, isn't it almost the same? ?

Of course, Wang Ruoan has never failed. He has always been popular for nearly forty years.

So when Lin Xing learned that he was compared to Little Wang Ruoan, Lin Xing quickly waved his hands and said, "You can't say that. I'm far from Brother An."

That's not really modesty.

Lin Xing really felt that he was far behind Wang Ruoan.

Just like many people said before, it is too difficult to stay popular in this industry. Even Chu Shen eventually ran out of ideas, let alone others? ?

Although many people say that water does not compete for the lead, but for the continuous flow.

But if you look at the entire entertainment industry, is there anyone who can remain popular forever? ? ?

Too little.

No matter whether they are actors or singers, there are very few who can continue to be popular. Many of them become out of date without even knowing why, and are eliminated by the market.

Because of this, many people advised Lin Xing to take advantage of his current popularity and find ways to make more money.

If you don’t make money when the market is booming, then when will you make money?
Lin Xing really doesn't care about this.

What money to make?

Lin Xing didn't dislike money, but he thought that you had to do your job well before you could make money. Besides, being an actor was so interesting. You could experience the joys and sorrows of each character. Every time Lin Xing finished playing a role, he felt as if he had experienced a lifetime.

As for making money?

You've lived your whole life with your eyes fixed on money?

How can it be?

Besides, Lin Xing doesn’t need to be rich now, because no matter how rich he is, he is not as rich as his friends.

Originally, I only had one friend, Xin Hui. After all, Xin Hui always said in interviews: "I don't care whether others are rich or not when making friends. After all, who can be richer than me?"

Now, because of the movie "Going to Heaven", we have another friend, Liang Yuan.

What should I say? ? ?

Xin Hui is already a loser, but Liang Yuan is even more of a spendthrift boy.

You have to know that Xin Hui doesn’t have many hobbies. He mainly wanted to start a business before. Well, in the end, his parents wanted to start a small business.

After all, if Xin Hui were to start a business in this way, his family would not be able to support it.

On the contrary, Liang Yuan has many hobbies, such as fishing, being a drama critic, reading online articles, watching anchors, doing his own live broadcasts, etc.

Anyway, this guy reads online articles and gives rewards starting from '10,000', and does the same with watching anchors.

He is a real money-giving boy.

You can even say it's a hobby, and I want to try it more often.

It was also because of this that when he saw that Xin Hui actually invested in film and television dramas, Liang Yuan also wanted to try his hand.

Of course, compared to Xin Hui who has no clues, Liang Yuan is really more knowledgeable. In recent years, major film and television companies have tried to trick him into investing, and even online literature companies hope that he, the financial sponsor, can invest.

However, Liang Yuan declined politely because he had heard Xin Hui say more than once that this circle was too deceptive.

What's more, just think about how much money Xin Hui has been cheated out of.

Therefore, if he had the money, Liang Yuan would rather give it to online writers or anchors as rewards.

As a result, after Xin Hui invested in "Killing Ading" and gained both fame and fortune, Liang Yuan wanted to give it a try.

Anyway, tens of millions is just pocket money.

Even during the filming of "Going to Heaven", Liang Yuan sincerely felt that the money spent was too little.

No need to save money for me.

But Liang Yuan is a drama critic and film critic after all. He also reads online articles and even a lot of entertainment articles, so he understands the value of a movie that breaks 30 billion.

Because of this, Liang Yuan was truly in charge of the celebration banquet this time.

"This little money is nothing."

Liang Yuan said: "After all, we can't do anything. It seems that there is no other way to promote us except to spend money. Moreover, I feel a little bored after following a few road shows. But I can't imagine how motivated you are, Brother Xing. This is too difficult..."

Liang Yuan really thought at first that roadshows were just about eating, drinking and having fun, what was the big deal???

It was only during the roadshow that Liang Yuan finally understood how miserable this was.

You have to know that roadshows are like a cycle of rotation, and you may go to the east venue in the morning and the west venue in the afternoon.

Not to mention that we might have to march to another city overnight.

Not only that, but the interviews also need to be done one after another. You have to know that Lin Xing is the leading actor in "Going to Heaven". Apart from him, the roles of other people actually are not that too many.

Even "Going to Heaven" can be considered a unit film.

After all, many actors still have their own dramas to shoot, so it is unrealistic to ask them to follow the roadshow until the end.

So, most of the actors are in segments.

Of course, these actors are still quite satisfied. After all, Liang Yuan and Xin Hui care least about money.

They really give these actors all kinds of money.

You have to know that for young actors, or for extras, ten thousand yuan can often really improve their lives.

After all, they often don’t even have a few thousand dollars a month because they have absolutely no movies to shoot.

People often persist just for a dream.

Actor dream.

But as time goes by, there has no longer been an actor who came from a purely common background and became a movie star over the years. Now it is completely various Romans.

no way.

Some people are born in Rome, while others are born to be only cattle and horses.

But again, what circle doesn’t have Romans?
Even competitive sports like the Olympics have Romans joining, let alone other circles.

Therefore, everyone in the entertainment industry is just holding on, or even waiting for an opportunity, which is a gamble.

But let’s be honest, who doesn’t gamble?
Not only the actors are gambling, but the directors are also gambling. To be honest, many directors do not have various investments like those famous directors. Even if these famous directors have two flops, people will still invest in them.

But it’s different for ordinary directors. Look at Diane. What was his situation after his series of flops?
Even his own teacher was unwilling to help him.

Look at Qi Ning again. If he hadn't met Lin Xing, how could he have attracted such a large investment?
In comparison, just like Ouyang Qing who banned Qi Ning, even if a few of his movies fail, his movies will never lack investment.

It can even be said that some mission dramas often really need Ouyang Qing to shoot.

But other directors don’t have this opportunity.

Even if some directors have proven themselves, they can only shoot the same type of films. Otherwise, it will be difficult for people to invest if you cross genres.

Just like Sun Feng who came to the celebration party of "Going to Heaven" today, his last movie was a comedy romance, which made 3 million at the box office with a small investment.

Then, originally both the investors and other people wanted Sun Feng to continue making this type of movie, but who could have imagined that Sun Feng would actually make a science fiction movie.

This made other people wonder if Sun Feng was crazy? ?

The door to science fiction movies was closed by the movie "The Fall of San Andreas" eight years ago.
