This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 442: Getting worse and worse, villain (please subscribe)
After reading the script, Lin Xing has already decided which role he will play. Be it the three brothers of Jinyiwei, Wei Zhongxian, or even the godson who wants to kill Wei Zhongxian, none of them are suitable for Lin Xing.

As for some other supporting characters, they are even more incompatible with Lin Xing.

In fact, Lin Xing also wanted to try a villain role, because he felt that although his recent dramas were not repetitive, they were all consistently positive.

Zhou Bo in "Sweeping Black Waves" is Lin Xing's first villain role.

Li Dongsheng in "Bad Kids" is Lin Xing's last villain role.

As for the later villain characters, they all have a tragic color, like Zhao Xiaodao in "Sunspots".

What's more important is that Zhao Xiaodao is also quite "positive".

Not to mention the Guiziliu.

Many times, villain roles are hard to come by. Apart from anything else, there is no movie or TV series in which the protagonist plays the villain.

That's exactly why Lin Xing would never come across such a script.

Besides, there are so-called unspoken rules in the industry, which is that once you play the leading role, you can never play a supporting role again.

You absolutely cannot lose your ranking.

Just look at the competition for ranking in recent years.

Not only are popular stars fighting for their spots, but more and more veteran actors are also fighting for their spots.

Just like the Magnolia Award, Golden Bear Award and other TV drama awards in the past two years, the competition between traffic stars and veteran actors for ranking has never stopped.

This is an unspoken deal in the industry right now.

Traffic artists are cast as protagonists in order to attract investment and for publicity. They have traffic, but why do you let veteran actors play supporting roles for you?

That’s very simple. You have to give the veteran actor a good personality. This personality will make it easier for him to win awards and also the Best Actor award.

Here's the deal.

If you don’t believe me, just look at the movies in recent years like “Cars and Traffic”, “Detective Dee: The Death of Detective Dee”, “Battle of Faith”, etc. They are all the same.

Although popular artists seem to be the leading actors, basically the ones who perform well are veteran actors, and even the one who wins the Best Actor award is also a veteran actor.

This is why the fans are fighting.

In the eyes of fans, my brother was fucking plotted against and stepped on by veteran actors. But in fact, from the perspective of people in the industry, you should just be fucking happy that your brother is being carried away.

But this thing does not exist for Lin Xing.

Firstly, he has traffic, and secondly, he has acting skills. He has always been the one who leads others to success, and he doesn't need anyone else to lead him to success.

So basically, the scripts he received were all about him playing the leading male role, and there was no such thing as a double male lead.

The male lead must be as handsome as can be.

However, Lin Xing declined all of them.

Some people also hope that Lin Xing will continue to play the role of a criminal policeman, just like he did in "The Murderer in the Portrait" and continue to be the captain of the criminal police team.

After all, the best policeman in the circle today is Xu Lie. Xu Lie's acting skills are naturally needless to say, but Xu Lie has played the role of a policeman too many times in recent years.

No matter how good your acting is, people are a little tired of it.

Even some of Xu Lie's fans said: "Brother Lie, can you change to someone else? Don't always stay in your comfort zone? "

There are seven or eight dramas a year, and six or seven of them are police dramas.

What is this for?

You are only 45 years old, which is the time when you should work hard. Why are you thinking about retirement?
Some people even hope that Xu Lie will play a villain or something like that.

Of course, some viewers find it acceptable. After all, this is a circle where everyone competes to see what’s worse.

Compared to watching some brainless idiots acting in stupid dramas, it is really better to watch Xu Lie. At least Xu Lie's acting is not embarrassing, right?
That's right.

The entertainment industry today is quite low, and some people are even calling for those who used to engage in prostitution, cheat on their spouses, etc. to come out.

Apart from anything else, these people at least have acting skills, right?

Otherwise, why when someone said that Chinese movies and TV series had regressed 30 years, many people said, "Is there such a good thing?"

Now it's all rotten.

Either the popular artists are bad, or the directors have also gone down to earth. What I mean by going down to earth here is that one by one they have started making bad movies.

Let’s not talk about Chu Xingrui, but Ding Yun, who has filmed many classic TV series, filmed the movie "Water Margin", which received the worst ratings. This directly broke the defense of director Ding Yun, who thought someone was smearing her.

In recent years, many great directors who were once very high-profile, respected in the industry and admired by the audience have fallen from the altar one after another.

As for why this happened? ?
It’s really hard to say.

You have to know that these people are not like Ouyang Qing. Ouyang Qing has always been ridiculed and criticized. But whether it is Chu Xingyun or Ding Yun, or even Chen Sheng, He Hongwen and others, they were once gods, and their health bars were extremely thick.

But it was still abandoned by the audience.

Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s just talk about Li Jing who is sitting in the meeting room now. Hasn’t he fallen from the altar?
In fact, before "Eighteen Heroes of the Republic of China", Li Jing had already been the action director of two bad movies.

What should I say? ?
When a movie becomes popular, it means everyone is happy. People will not only praise the actors and the director, but also the action director.

But what if it fails???
Just like the movie "Eighteen Heroes of the Republic of China", Li Jing is the director and action director, so he must take the blame.

Before this movie, Li Jing worked as an action director for a comedy movie. It was a bad movie starring a group of old comedy actors and some out-of-date actors, but it didn't receive much criticism.

Because these comedians once brought joy to many people, but now they are old, but they still act in the exaggerated way they did when they were young, which is really disgusting.

Just as some viewers advised Mr. Chen to retire, some viewers were even more helpless and said to these old actors: "Can you please stop coming out and ruining our childhood?"

But Lin Xing could still understand it.

Just enough money, no shame.

Many old actors or out-of-date actors in this industry actually don’t have very high incomes. They are already content to have a job.

They have no qualifications to choose scripts or even roles, and they will perform with all their heart to whoever is willing to use them.

After all, there are only a few people in this circle of 258 million, and more people are just working there.

Just like this short film.

In fact, in addition to using these students, Li Jing would also use his former martial arts trainees as actors for other roles.

To put it bluntly, it is to give those martial artists a job.

You have to know that there is not much room for survival for dragon and tiger martial artists now.

Li Jing even felt that if Lin Xing really became the protagonist, perhaps this short film could cause more of a sensation, and some of his former brothers and sisters would also have more opportunities.

"Mr. Li, Sister Hui, I really can't play this leading role."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, "I can just play the role of Qi Wei..."

"What??"

Everyone in the conference room was a little confused.

You know, the character of Qi Wei is a villain.
