This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 435 Because It's Lin Xing
Meng Yan really wanted to invest in "Death on the Ball". Although she had not read the original novel, she couldn't wait to meet Lin Xing after reading the script.

Because Meng Yan really thinks this script is quite creative.

And the more crucial point is that she believes in Lin Xing.

So, naturally, she came directly to see Lin Xing.

Meng Yan was very realistic in her thinking that Lin Xing's next movie was a huge deal and she absolutely could not miss it.

Even if this is a science fiction movie, as long as this person is Lin Xing, it is worth a try.

Originally, Meng Yan thought that Lin Xing would just give it a simple try, but she never expected Lin Xing to do something so big.

"Teacher Lin, I believe you, but if the investment in this movie is really that huge, then should we change the director?"

Meng Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, Sun Feng has no experience in making blockbuster films, especially science fiction films."

"That's not necessary."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "How many directors with experience in making blockbuster movies ended up with movies that weren't that good? You know what happened to 'The Fall of the Demon City'."

"This... is indeed true."

Meng Yan thought for a moment and nodded gently, "Although I am confident that I know a lot about movies, I still think I am not as good as you, so you can do whatever you want with the movie. We are willing to invest 2000 million..."

Just like that, Lin Xing never expected that in the end he would attract a lot of investors, and it turned out that it was Meng Yan who had a keen eye for talent.

Of course, people in the circle don’t think that Meng Yan has a good eye for talent. They just think it’s too risky.

Or too radical.

"If someone else were to make this sci-fi movie, I would think he was crazy, but for Lin Xing, I think he might actually be able to do it. But he's too bold."

"Yes, it is indeed too bold. Besides, what kind of sci-fi plot will Lin Xing make in his next movie?"

"Who said that before? Lin Xing wanted to break the million-dollar box office as quickly as possible. Why is he suddenly doing science fiction?"

"I think Lin Xing thinks that science fiction movies can be big hits? After all, a science fiction movie can earn 30 to 40 billion..."

"Don't make a fuss. Even a Hollywood movie can't possibly make 3 billion for a science fiction movie, let alone a domestic science fiction movie? 30 or 40 billion? I think it's hard to even make tens of millions..."

……

When people in the industry learned that Lin Xing was going to make a science fiction film, they were not very optimistic.

But because of the miracles that Lin Xing had created before, it is hard to say that Lin Xing has gone crazy.

For this reason, most people in the industry only think that Lin Xing is too radical.

Do you think that these three movies have set a record, so you want to make a name for yourself in the science fiction movie industry?

In other words, since Lin Xing is already unrivaled in art films, it seems reasonable for him to go into science fiction films.

After all, Lin Xing is not like other actors. This guy has always been unconventional.

Which actor is like Lin Xing? ?
However, when everyone heard that the science fiction film that Lin Xing was going to invest in was adapted from an online novel and even directed by Sun Feng, the industry was in a state of confusion.

Is this how you want to play?
A director who shoots youth campus dramas is shooting science fiction. What is he planning to do? ?

However, Lao Zhong, who always believed in Lin Xing, said on Weibo: "Everyone should stop criticizing. I just want to ask one question: do you believe that Lin Xing can continue to create miracles?"

"Old Zhong, I believe Lin Xing can continue to create miracles, but I absolutely do not believe that Lin Xing can create miracles in science fiction movies."

"In fact, Lin Xing's box office appeal is very strong now. I think this sci-fi movie he made might also make over 100 million yuan at the box office." "The key is, have you read the novel "Death on Earth"? If he shoots it according to the original, he has to spend money on every frame of the special effects. Let alone a 100 million yuan box office, I'm afraid it won't even make back the money even if it breaks 1 billion."

……

When the audience learned that Lin Xing was making a science fiction movie, they were quite confused.

Because they just couldn't understand why Lin Xing always acted against the market?
It was understandable that they made art films before. Firstly, although art films are niche, they do have a market. It is also understandable that TV drama stars would make their first movie in an art film.

In addition, after the success of "Killing Ading", the subsequent "Sunspots" and "Going to Heaven" were both phenomenal successes.

At this time, even if Lin Xing continued to act in art films, no one would say anything.

As a result, no one expected that Lin Xing would actually make a science fiction movie, and the key point was that the director he used was not even a big name.

Zheng Zhou was originally working on the post-production of "The Age of Struggle". He looked at the news online and called Lin Xing: "Xing, are you really ready to shoot?"

"Well, I thought the script was pretty good, so I wanted to try my hand at science fiction movies."

Lin Xing nodded slightly and said.

"Then count me in as a share."

Zheng Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I can't invest more, so I'll just invest 500 million."

It is obvious that Zheng Zhou is not optimistic about science fiction movies, but he is willing to invest in Lin Xing. What's more, Lin Xing will still be needed to continue promoting "The Age of Hard Work".

"Row."

Lin Xing nodded slightly, without any politeness or awkwardness.

Just after hanging up Zheng Zhou's phone, Xin Hui called back angrily: "No, Lao Lin, what do you mean?"

Lin Xing was stunned: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Don't you think I really have no one in the entertainment industry? You have approached so many film and television companies to get investment, why don't you come to me?"

Xin Hui was a little angry: "Don't you treat me as a brother?"

"That's not true."

Lin Xing shook his head and smiled, "The main thing is that I really don't have any confidence in the box office of this science fiction movie, because the domestic science fiction movie market is too bad after all. Didn't you say a few days ago that your father praised you for knowing how to invest? If I ask you to invest in this movie, it will really fail..."

"It's just a pounce, what's the big deal?"

Xin Hui said nonchalantly: "Besides, investment is always profitable. Let alone we are brothers, even if we are investment partners, who can guarantee to make money all the time?"

"Don't talk about this anymore. Lao Liang and I will take care of the rest of the money..."

Xin Hui said, "Let's drink together tonight. I'll call Lao Liang."

As a result, when it was night, Lin Xing saw that Xin Hui looked unhappy and was drinking alone. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"I really feel like I was blind and I misjudged someone."

Xin Hui said with gritted teeth.
