This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 430 Big Liar? Not Ordinary

According to what Wei Fei said, art films at least still have a market, but there really is no market for science fiction films.

The market here refers to the audience being truly hurt.

You have to know that although art films have always been a niche genre in recent years, they have always had an audience base. More importantly, there are many good art films, which is also because there is an audience base.

But the same cannot be said for science fiction movies. The movie “The Fall of San Francisco” directly closed the door to science fiction movies.

Then some people who didn't believe in superstition made science fiction movies, and they all failed one after another.

As for low-budget science fiction movies, it goes without saying that they are more like soft science fiction than science fiction movies.

Or just a little bit of science fiction.

In addition, just like Lin Xing disagrees with the statement that "Going to Heaven" is an art film, in fact, most audiences also do not think that science fiction movies in recent years are science fiction movies.

Or many science fiction movies don’t dare to call themselves science fiction movies.

Because science fiction movies often represent bad movies.

For this reason, even Liang Yuan was not optimistic about the script, and you know what was going on. Even Wei Fei also thought it was not advisable.

She only mentioned it in passing.

"This Sun Feng is really good."

Before Lin Xing could speak, Xin Hui was already a little angry: "I told him that Lao Liang and I would not invest in this sci-fi movie. We are not stupid and rich, but this guy still came to the celebration party..."

Liang Yuan also smiled bitterly and said, "I thought I had made it clear enough to Sun Feng just now, but I really didn't expect this guy to be so persistent."

"Science fiction?"

Lin Xing's eyes suddenly lit up: "You know what, my agent has received quite a few scripts, but most of them are urban or even literary. There are really no science fiction scripts."

For Lin Xing, he just talked about this with everyone. He can't always make art films.

Many people outside think that Lin Xing likes art films, otherwise why would he shoot three art films in a row? ?
But only Lin Xing knew that this was just because the script was pretty good.

Then, there were no other scripts for Lin Xing in the film industry.

Just like the script of "Sunspots", apart from the fact that it is an art film, this pie was also a big pie in the beginning.

Forget about the actors who act in art films, who among other actors wouldn’t want to compete? ?
As for "Going to Heaven", there is no need to say more, Lin Xing really likes this script.

A few days ago, Ding Chunling complained to Lin Xing that all the scripts nowadays are art films, and all of them are niche.

It seems like these people all think that Lin Xing likes to play niche roles.

Not only that, these people actually have an unrealistic dream, which is that they think that if their script is liked by Lin Xing, and then Lin Xing will attract various investments, then they can also become famous.

Not to mention scripts written like this.

Basically, it is as rubbish as it can be.

According to what Xin Hui and Liang Yuan said, they really thought Lin Xing was a fool with a lot of money.

Of course, for Ding Chunling, she has really read quite a few scripts. It would be fine if the script was good, but the script is really not good.

Even these scripts have not reached Lin Xing's hands.

Lin Xing has read several scripts recently, all of which were recommended to him by acquaintances like Wei Fei.

But what to say???
These scripts are really not that good.

As mentioned before, Lin Xing doesn't just want to act in art films, but other types of films don't seem to be very good either.

This is what Lin Xing feels most helpless about.

It is not easy to find a good script. Of course, Lin Xing also understands that many times a good script may not necessarily lead to a good movie or a good TV series.

But at least your script has to pass.

Only when a script is up to par can a good drama be made.

Because of this, Lin Xing thought that the script was well-completed even though everyone thought that "Going to Heaven" was too niche and even that no one paid attention to it.

Facts have indeed proved that Lin Xing was right.

But in the eyes of many people, this kind of good luck cannot last forever.

Besides, how can there be so many people who can turn stones into gold? ? ?
To put it bluntly, if you, Lin Xing, really have this ability, can you make another sci-fi movie with a revenue of 30 billion? ? ?

how could it be possible? ? ?
Therefore, Wei Fei herself was too embarrassed to mention this. Seeing that Lin Xing was actually interested, she quickly said, "Ah Xing, you can take a look at the script, but I really hope you can stay calm."

Not only Wei Fei, Liang Yuan also said: "Yes, Brother Xing, this "Death on Earth" is an online novel, but even in the online literature circle it is quite niche. Although there are some die-hard fans, it is really not popular."

"It's okay, I just looked at the script."

Lin Xing waved her hand slightly and said, "Sister Fei, please ask Sun Feng to come over here as well. We have to meet him anyway."

"Row."

Wei Fei nodded slightly, and waved to Sun Feng who was staring at them from a distance. "Hello, Teacher Lin, I am Sun Feng..."

Sun Feng came to Lin Xing and walked closer, then quickly introduced him.

"Director Sun, you're welcome. You can just call me A Xing."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Just now Sister Fei said that you want to shoot a science fiction movie?"

"Yes, I have always wanted to make a science fiction film. I think there are actually a large number of science fiction fans in China, and we have a lot of science fiction novels, and even science fiction online articles are very imaginative. But with a population of more than one billion, we can't even make a good science fiction movie. Don't you think this is an extreme failure?"

At this time, Sun Feng spoke to Lin Xing.

"Director Sun, this is unnecessary. You don't have to use the same tricks you used to trick investors to trick me. Don't we still have no one good at playing football among our population of more than one billion? I think we're not even good at playing basketball anymore..."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said, "If this is what you want to talk about, then I really think there is no need for us to talk anymore."

What nonsense? ? ?
It is better to say that you make movies for fame than to say that you make movies for the so-called dream.

Because dreams are too virtual.

What’s more important is that it’s okay if you use your own money to realize your dream, but it would be fucked up if you use investors’ money to pay for your dream.

Like many directors, they say that they just want to shoot something that is too high-brow and not popular among the general public, or even that they don’t want to shoot something too monotonous.

But you are taking the investors' money, shouldn't you be responsible to the investors?
If Sun Feng is just making empty promises, Lin Xing really doesn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Teacher Lin, this is what I really think. You can take a look at my script. Not just the script, you can take a look at it again..."

At this time, Sun Feng told everything he had done over the years and even why he wanted to make "Death on Earth".

“I think the failure of ‘The Fall of Devil City’ was because we just wanted to make a Hollywood-style blockbuster. We didn’t learn from Hollywood. We were assimilated by Hollywood, or PUA by them. However, Hollywood’s individual heroism doesn’t work here. We are a collectivist here. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid…”

Sun Feng said: "As for Death on Earth, it is actually about collectivism and the unity of all people in the face of difficulties. These are our Chinese narrative styles, and I think this movie can really be adapted into a script..."

You have to admit that what Sun Feng said is quite touching.

In particular, he seemed to be sincere in wanting to make a science fiction movie, but he was not just doing it out of passion or excitement.

On the contrary, he waited for 8 years, which means that he has been holding his breath since "The Fall of Demon City".

Others at the table weren't too impressed.

After all, what haven’t you seen in this online circle???
What's more, oftentimes, your hard work doesn't necessarily lead to good results. Aren't we all still angry? ? ?
Take Wang Lu for example, if she hadn’t been forced into “Going to Heaven” by Lin Xing, would she want to make a movie? ?
That's really bullshit.

Apart from that, the others are pretty much the same.

More importantly, who doesn’t have a dream?
But one year, two years, three years, four years, how long can a dream last you???

This thing can't be eaten as a meal.

Go to Hengdian, or go and see how many of the graduates from the three major film schools are still actors? ?

When everyone graduates, they say, "I must persevere. I can persist for my whole life for my dream of becoming an actor."

But if you look back ten years later, how many people have changed their careers?

Similarly, it's almost the same when Sun Feng wants to make a science fiction movie. You say you are persistent, you say it's not easy for you, you say you are doing it for your dream, but as Lin Xing said, investors don't care at all.

Investors only care about one thing: whether they can make a profit and whether they can make money.

But Lin Xing is not such an investor. Just now he really felt that Sun Feng was fooling him, but after listening to Sun Feng's thoughts on science fiction, his understanding of movies, and especially his ideas for the script, Lin Xing could still feel Sun Feng's love for science fiction.

"Well, I haven't read the novel Death on Earth yet, and I haven't read the script either, so I'll talk to you about whether I should take this one after I finish reading them..."

Lin Xing finally said to Sun Feng.

Sun Feng said: "No hurry, no hurry, Teacher Lin, just tell me when you have finished reading it, I..."

"Let's add each other on WeChat..."

Lin Xing interrupted Sun Feng and said, "Because I have to film a movie next, so it will take at least half a month. I will decide whether to accept it after I have finished watching it half a month later..."

Sun Feng was originally thinking about how to add Lin Xing’s WeChat, but now, Lin Xing actually took the initiative to add his WeChat.

And it seems that Lin Xing might actually be interested in this movie.

Half an hour later, Sun Feng left. Of course, he was carried out.

Xin Hui thought Sun Feng was a big liar and was trying to ruin Lin Xing's celebration party, so he forced Sun Feng to drink.

Originally Lin Xing wanted to stop him, but Sun Feng was really happy today.

Can you believe it???
This was the first time Sun Feng met an artist who was interested in this script, and this artist was Lin Xing.

You have to know that Lin Xingke is not just an artist, he is also a boss. After all, he often comes with investments.
