This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 437: MLM Master? Can wait?
People are different, especially in the entertainment industry. Some people are born in Rome, while others can only be used as cattle and horses.

Just like Li Qian, Yao Ni and Chen Ning are actually much better than cattle and horses. Although they are not Romans, they are better than 90% of people in the entire entertainment industry.

But even so, the three of them still don't have many chances.

There are only a handful of Romans in the entire entertainment industry, and most of the young actors like these three are just trying to get a chance.

If you can get it, you might be able to reach the sky in one step.

This is like buying a lottery ticket. You have to know that four years ago, Lin Xing was not as famous as these three people.

But Lin Xing seized the opportunity.

No wonder many people say that the sudden emergence of Stephen Chow 20 years ago gave hope to thousands of extras.

That means even a supporting actor can win the Best Actor award.

But more than 20 years have passed, and only one Zhou Xingan has appeared.

And now, in less than four years, Lin Xing has already won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor, and it is even possible that Lin Xing will win the Best Actor award next.

Not only that, Lin Xing may also become the fastest actor to reach 10 billion yuan in box office.

Think about it, four years ago Lin Xing was still an out-of-date artist, and Lin Xing set the record in such a short time. He is the idol of all out-of-date actors.

"As long as we persist and work hard, we will be the next Lin Xing."

"Even someone as talented as Lin Xing had to persevere for 10 years before he achieved success, so we have to be down-to-earth too."

“I always believe that hard work will lead to success, persistence will lead to victory, and water does not compete for the lead, but for its continuous flow.”

……

In fact, even Lin Xing probably didn’t expect that he is now not only an idol to many fans, but also to many actors.

Just like Li Qian, she is Lin Xing's junior, so she respects Lin Xing even more. Even though she was not selected this time, Li Qian is still very grateful to Lin Xing.

Li Qian also listened to Lin Xing's suggestions, or advice.

At the age of 30, there is still a chance, but if you give up on yourself, or even start to fool yourself, then you will never have any chance.

Because of this, Li Qian directly expressed in her circle of friends after returning: "I talked with my senior and idol, and began to reflect on my actions in the past few years. From today on, I will reshape myself."

A comment section below asked: "Did the audition succeed??"

Obviously, many people knew that Li Qian was auditioning for "Death on Earth". When everyone saw Li Qian post this message, they all thought that she had passed the audition.

Some people have even started congratulating Li Qian.

In response to this, Li Qian directly responded: "Thank you for your concern, but I didn't pass the audition because of my lack of ability. I just know what I should do in the future."

Li Qian wants to leave a record or a testimony for herself through this circle of friends, that is, she wants to change.

She was willing to listen to the advice because it was Lin Xing who said it.

For many people, they only want to listen to successful people, especially when this successful person is their idol.

Li Qian has always regarded Lin Xing as her idol in the past two years, so she really listened to him.

As for the circle of friends, many people originally wanted to congratulate Li Qian, but it became awkward at this moment.

You know, don’t be fooled by some artists thinking that “Dead on Earth” is definitely going to be a flop, but as I said before, for many artists, it’s worth the risk.

It’s not even about whether it’s risky or not, it’s about whether or not you can get selected.

You know, "Death on Earth" is a movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan.

Or according to industry sources, this is not just an investment of over 2 million, it's even heading for million.

Then it’s time to bet on treasure.

At this time, some artists even took the initiative to contact Sun Feng, wanting to interview for the leading role or some important roles.

But the first-line artists are all unrelated, just like the artists that Sun Feng wanted to invite to perform at the beginning, but they all declined.

The current film market is in a rather embarrassing situation.

This kind of embarrassment is really unbearable for anyone.

Just like the main creators of last year's box office hits, this year their failures are worse than the last, and they all failed miserably.

Everyone originally wanted to save the market like in the movie "Going to Heaven", but instead of saving the market, they ended up breaking their own defenses.

Because of this, everyone has realized that for a movie to be successful, the right time, right place, and right people are all necessary.

No matter whether it is a director or an actor, it is impossible to never fail.

So, who dares to pressure Lin Xing to make a sci-fi movie that has no market at all? ?
Didn’t you see that the spy movie shot by billionaire director Zhao Gou also flopped? ?

In a field that I am not familiar with, I want to make a trend-setting movie and I don't even want to listen to other people's opinions.

This is the case with Zhao Gou, and now it seems that Lin Xing is the same.

Of course, most people also understand that Lin Xing is qualified to ignore other people's opinions because he is the top star of art films.

In the next few days, many people actually viewed the incident with a fun attitude.

After all, this science fiction film is a less popular subject, and most people don't have much confidence in it.

However, many people in the science fiction circle are still quite supportive.

Many science fiction writers have read the original novel of "Death on Earth". They think that this novel is quite grand, and if it can be filmed exactly as it is, it may really change the entire science fiction world.

You have to know that the influence of science fiction is weak because there are no movies and TV series to promote it.

In other words, when it comes to science fiction movies and TV series, every one of them fails, which also leads to the scarcity of science fiction movies and TV series.

You can't say that no one has made science fiction films or TV series since "The Fall of Devil City", but they are all bad movies.

That's right.

It's 100% bad movie.

As for the science fiction circle, they actually don’t care how the movie "Death on Earth" is made.

That's right.

Even if it’s a really bad movie, it’s okay, as long as it works as a science fiction movie.

Just like the original "The Fall of Orpheus", although it was a bad movie, it at least made science fiction novels known to the public again.

After all, the original novel "The Fall of Demon City" is quite good.

This time, the movie "Death on Earth" is another science fiction masterpiece after eight years.

That's right.

Even though Death on Earth has not started filming yet, some people have already labeled this movie a sci-fi masterpiece. Not only that, many people want Lin Xing to fail in this movie, so now there is a lot of toxic support.

Many science fiction authors don’t really care about these things. What they really care about is getting more publicity.

It would be a good thing if the movie "Death on Earth" could make more people pay attention to science fiction novels.

According to many science fiction writers, as long as it is adapted, it will have influence.

Don’t worry about whether the adaptation is good or not, just adapt it first.

Because of this, compared to other people who are not very optimistic about "Death on Earth", the science fiction circle is mainly encouraging.

What’s more important is that after all these years, there hasn’t been a reliable cast to shoot science fiction.

Of course, from an industry perspective, this lineup is not very reliable.

"This Sun Feng is actually a big liar, as if he is engaged in pyramid selling, always talking about how great this movie is..."

"Yes, I have read the original novel. It would be impossible to film those classic scenes without hundreds of millions of dollars. Sun Feng told people that he could film it for 5000 million. Who would believe that?"

"Actually, I really don't understand why Lin Xing wanted to make this movie? I suspect he was really fooled by Sun Feng."

……

At present, everyone feels that when Sun Feng invited actors one by one, it was like he was engaging in a pyramid scheme, and the most important thing is that many people were fooled.

Just like all the investments Sun Feng attracted were obtained through his own deception.

Not only that, all the brands of headphones, robots, etc. were sponsored by Sun Feng himself.

Just think about it, "Death on Earth" has not started filming yet, but in addition to attracting some investment, Sun Feng also attracted a lot of sponsorship.

In Sun Feng's words, he is not trying to fool people. He is just sincerely talking to these companies and leaders about how they can work together to change China's science fiction films.

Because of this, Sun Feng has attracted quite a lot of sponsorship.

Lin Xing admired Sun Feng very much for this, because Sun Feng was indeed well prepared.

But not enough.

"As for the concept design drawings, you need to make them as much as possible. You should know that I saw that the entire process of Death on Earth lasted for 3000 years. This time span is not ordinary. The first part of the script is the 'Moving Mountains Plan'..."

Lin Xing said to Sun Feng: "There is really no rush for the start time, because you have been preparing for the early stage for eight years, so there is no need to wait for a while..."

For Lin Xing, the actual preparatory work for "Death on Earth" was extremely huge.

"I originally wanted to shoot it in the second half of the year, but I was having dinner with someone in the industry the past two days and someone said something that really touched me."

Originally, Sun Feng was wondering why Lin Xing suddenly changed his opinion. It turned out that Lin Xing had a chat with someone.

“Everyone says that the door to science fiction was sealed by The Fall of the Demon City eight years ago. No one has touched hard science fiction for eight years. All they have touched are soft science fiction. If we fail again this time, I’m afraid we won’t touch it again for another eight years…”

Lin Xing said with some emotion: "I think what everyone said is right. We can fail at the box office, but we must not let people say that 'this is the only way to fool the audience when making hard science fiction'..."

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing and Sun Feng have not done enough.

"The world view of Death on Earth needs to be improved, so next you should improve the setting and make it more realistic..."

Lin Xing feels that since he wants to make hard science fiction, and really want Chinese films to be recognized as "science fiction films", then everything must be perfected.

"If you have any difficulties, please feel free to tell me and I will help you solve them. What I want is this worldview, that is, social science and natural science must be true."

"The geographical environment, astronomical calendar, occupational composition, living habits, visual effects, etc. must all be done well."

“We can also invite scientists from multiple institutes of the Academy of Sciences to take a look.”

……

For Lin Xing, this movie would not be shot if he didn't want to. But since he was going to shoot it, everything had to be perfect.

It is easy to find actors, but the early world view setting, props production, special effects production, etc., these are not things that can be done overnight.

Some people in the industry are laughing at it, some are looking forward to it, and as for netizens, they don’t really care about it, because after half a month they will go to chase other hot topics.

"Axing, let me introduce you, this is Li Jing..."

Situ Hui introduced to Lin Xing: "Li Jing is also my partner now. The two of us opened a training school [Jingwutang], which is mainly for training action actors..."

Li Jinglinxing knew this. His "Jing Family Class" was the favorite team of all major film crews.

Of course, in addition to being an action director, Li Jing is also a director. Of course, all the movies he made were flops.

Because of this, Li Jing has been working as an action director with peace of mind in recent years, and has also started to train talents.

Because action movies have less and less market share, action actors are also finding it increasingly difficult to survive, and now all action and fighting scenes are just special effects.

Look at the fighting scenes nowadays, aren’t they all slow motion with cheap special effects?

To be honest, is there any exciting fight?

No more.

On the one hand, the film producers want to save time, and on the other hand they are also worried about the actors getting injured.

What’s more important is that this method can save time and cost, and no actors will be injured.

It's similar with martial arts films. Some martial arts films mainly rely on slow motion, empty shots + background sound, freeze-frame shots, spinning in circles, and somersaults.

The martial arts moves can be described as "showy".

Li Jing was unhappy about all these. He wanted to make a real fighting movie, but it ended up being a failure.

He used his connections, invited superstars, and made a movie called "Eighteen Heroes of the Republic of China", which even cost 2 million yuan to produce.

The result is similar to that of "The Fall of Demon City". This martial arts film can be said to have completely closed the door to martial arts and action films.

This drama also made Li Jing bankrupt, and he completely gave up filming because no one dared to ask him to film anymore.

Now Li Jing is thinking about training some action actors. He believes that the market will definitely pick up in the future.

This coincides with Situ Hui's opinion. After all, action and literary drama are not in conflict.

"You want to learn action scenes?"

Li Jing looked at Lin Xing and frowned slightly, "Don't you think it's a little late for you to learn now? Besides, you don't need to shoot the action scenes yourself?"

"Mr. Li, I learned this because I wanted to film action scenes myself..."

Lin Xing said: "I have some basic knowledge of martial arts, you may not have seen my plays..."
