This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 445 Is Lin Xing going crazy?

Ever since Lin Xing said he was going to start shooting a science fiction movie, the whole industry has been discussing it like crazy.

But that's all.

Because the people involved in "Death on Earth" didn't accept many interviews.

In other words, from the director to the actors, no one responded to this matter.

Of course, if there is no refutation, then it is true.

But everyone thinks that no matter from which aspect, "Death on Earth" is definitely going to start filming, so everyone wants to know how the current actors are preparing?
What’s more important is what Lin Xing is thinking?

Or maybe everyone wants to know why Lin Xing did this this time? ?

So when Lin Xing arrived at the award ceremony for Yang Tian's new drama, naturally many reporters were ready to interview him about this matter.

"Lin Xing, why did you take on the movie "Death on Earth"??"

“I heard that no one was willing to invest in “Dead on Earth” and some people even withdrew their investment midway. Is this true?”

"People in the industry are saying that you filmed Death on Earth just for fun? Is this true?"

"Science fiction movies have long ceased to have any market in China, so why do you, Lin Xing, still want to try to make one?"

……

Almost as soon as Lin Xing appeared, numerous media had surrounded him. Lin Xing didn't even need to promote himself, as these media had already started asking questions impatiently.

"Thank you for your concern. The preparation of the film "Death on Earth" is going quite smoothly. I have always believed that fans of Chinese science fiction films are particularly respectable and lovely people. Even though they have watched so many excellent science fiction films around the world, they still have hope for Chinese science fiction films."

Lin Xing first signaled to the media not to be anxious, as this was his first official announcement.

After all, up to now, "Death on Earth" has been kept secret from the outside world.

There are many rumors in the industry.

For example, Cao Ping, who was originally going to play one of the leading roles, just stood up, and the recently popular female artist Tan Nan also stood up.

These two have a good relationship with Sun Feng, and Tan Nan became popular because Sun Feng recommended him to star in Sheng Fei's movie.

I can only say that this circle is all about interests.

In the opinion of Cao Ping and Tan Nan, Death on Earth is totally unreliable and it is extremely time-consuming. They might as well take on a few other movies with this time.

Because of this, the two of them felt from the beginning that Sun Feng was not capable of doing it, so they tactfully expressed that as long as Sun Feng could get the crew together, they would be willing to act.

But who could have thought that Sun Feng really pulled the crew together, and at this time Cao Ping and Tan Nan had no choice but to run away quickly.

They may be friends, but they can't just waste their time on "Dead on Earth" when their careers are on the rise.

In addition to Cao Ping and Tan Nan, there are actually some actors who chose to run away.

This is something the industry knows.

In the industry’s view, if all these actors run away, your crew must be not good enough.

Otherwise, why did all the actors run away? ?

This is one of them.

The second is that it is said that Qintian Film and Television was planning to invest in "Death on Earth" before, but they decided not to invest at the last minute.

Everyone in the industry knows that Qintian Film and Television has a keen eye for investment, and many of the works they invested in have been big hits. Therefore, Qintian Film and Television's withdrawal of investment naturally proves that they are not optimistic about "Death on Earth".

There is a more direct point, that is, the copyright company behind "Dead on Earth" has not invested in it.

In this section, there is actually quite a lot of discussion about "Death on Earth", but because Lin Xing has always been in [Jingwu Hall], he didn't pay much attention to it.

Besides, whether it was Ding Chunling, Sun Feng, Wei Fei or the others, no one wanted to tell Lin Xing about this matter.

Because they can really understand everyone's thoughts.

You have to know that science fiction is not good at the moment, or domestic science fiction is not good, so it is understandable that everyone is not optimistic about it.

What made Sun Feng angry was that Cao Ping, Tan Nan and others could clearly say they would not agree at the beginning, but they agreed and then went back on their word at the last minute, which was a bit fucked up.

Sun Feng even felt that he had embarrassed himself. You know, he had just told Lin Xing that the actors had almost been negotiated, but as soon as Lin Xing agreed, all his actors ran away.

Not only the actors, but also the props team, art team, etc. ran away.

Good guy.

Sun Feng didn't even dare to talk to Lin Xing. He felt as if he was fooling Lin Xing.

Fortunately, Lin Xing is quite calm. After all, if you make a movie about a subject that no one is optimistic about, it will naturally be questioned, and some people may even run away.

But Lin Xing always believed that "Death on Earth" was not just a movie, it also represented a true "Chinese-style" special effects blockbuster.

Of course, today's society belongs to an era where even the best wine is afraid of the worst, so in "Death on Earth", Lin Xing needs to let everyone know that this is not an unreliable science fiction.

For this reason, when facing interviews from numerous media outlets, Lin Xing first thanked China's science fiction movie fans.

"I know that the movie 'The Fall of the Demon City' made many people lose confidence in Chinese science fiction movies, but what I want to say is that the failure of a movie is nothing."

"Moreover, the failure of "The Fall of Demon City" is inevitable. Not only "The Fall of Demon City", but also various magic and fairy tale blockbusters made in recent years, they are completely making bad movies under the banner of "carrying the banner of Chinese special effects blockbusters."

"The special effects are bad, the plot is bad, and most importantly, the art aesthetics are even worse, because they still follow Western aesthetics, especially the story logic of the script is 'Hollywood-style heroes', this core is not our Chinese style at all."

……

The many reporters at the scene were a little confused.

They just wanted to ask Lin Xing why he wanted to shoot "Death on Earth"?
But why did Lin Xing start to criticize "The Fall of Demon City"?
No.

Lin Xing not only criticized "The Fall of Demon City", he even criticized various special effects blockbusters in recent years.

“The reason why I filmed Death on Earth is because I think it is a sci-fi movie that tells our Chinese stories authentically.”

“I don’t know if you have read the original novel?”

"In the original work, this novel vividly explains to everyone what is a 'community with a shared future for mankind', what is a saturation rescue, and what is the only responsibility in times of crisis."

……

Originally, Lin Xing came to attend the premiere of Yang Tian's new drama, but he ended up attracting a lot of news attention from the reporters.

This Lin Xing is too bold.

No.

This might be Lin Xing's character. You know, Lin Xing has always been so sharp-tongued.

Lin Xing is already a top star now, but he still looks the same.

Why was "The Fall of Demon City" criticized by everyone back then? ?
Because this is not our own science fiction movie at all, and it is even a typical Hollywood blockbuster. For this reason, "The Fall of Demon City" did not tell the story well, and that is why everyone has been criticizing this movie for closing the door to science fiction movies.

Now "Death on Earth" is also about to start filming, and Lin Xing criticized "Demon City Has Fallen". Of course, he not only criticized "Demon City Has Fallen", he also criticized some bad movies without naming them.

The problem is that these bad movies are all directed by big directors, and even shot by first-line movie kings, movie queens, and top stars.

The key is that their box office didn’t flop. Just like those movies adapted from “Journey to the West”, their box office were pretty good.

For this reason, everyone felt that Lin Xing was being arrogant because of his attack.

Open the champagne at halftime?

Do you really believe that "Dead on Earth" will be a box office hit?
“I still want to say that the pre-production funds for Death on Earth are sufficient, and the actors have basically been negotiated, but this film will definitely take a lot of time, because our art design is the most critical this time.”

"I have talked with Director Sun. This time, more than 90% of our shots are visual effects, and the scenes span a wide range, involving four major scenes: the underground city, the ice field, the planetary engine control room, and the space station. In addition to the ice field, the other on-site settings alone may exceed 100,000 square meters."

"This does not include the real scenes such as the space elevator that we are going to make next."

"We are not making a simple movie. On the contrary, we are making a special effects blockbuster that can change the entire film landscape."

"I'm actually very dissatisfied. Many people say that we Chinese can't make special effects blockbusters. In fact, the special effects blockbusters we make are all Westernized, or even learned from Hollywood. Even though Hollywood is now 50 cents, many people still think they do a good job."

“Yes, this time our aesthetic style is Soviet industrial style, and the overall art design is mechanical, structural and industrial…”

……

"Okay, that's about all I have to say. Thank you everyone."

Lin Xing waved his hand and quickly walked into the venue under the confused gazes of the reporters.

"No, Lin Xing is crazy???"

"What did Lin Xing just say? He's going to make a science fiction movie that will go down in film history?"

"Lin Xing said that this movie needs to be set entirely in real scenes?"

……

Many journalists know that most of the time the production costs of movies are very inflated.

You're like a movie that's all indoors, but it dares to say that it cost 3 million yuan to invest.

There are also various modern dramas that clearly don't have any special effects or even any big scenes. They are just like skits, yet they dare to say that their production cost is 10 billion.

Anyway, everyone in this film industry is good at bragging.

Take "The Fall of Demon City" for example. At the beginning, they dared to boast that the investment in the whole movie was 30 billion, and it would be released in three parts.

Even "The Fall of Demon City" said that it was all shot on location.

This is similar to what Lin Xing said now.

This is a big lie.

Lin Xing came to the premiere of Yang Tian's new drama alone, and after the interview he went straight into the backstage quickly, so at this time many people in the backstage didn't know how many large satellites Lin Xing had launched.

"Axing, I was worried that you wouldn't come."

Yang Tian quickly came to Lin Xing, then said with a smile: "Let's have a drink after the premiere. Don't run away today. I still want to talk to you about your new movie..."

"Sister Tian, ​​you called me several times, and I got here anyway."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "But Sister Tian, ​​I'm making a science fiction movie, aren't you afraid of being cheated?"

"Don't be afraid, it's a trap."

Yang Tian said nonchalantly, "I cheated you at first because I didn't trust you. This time I trust you. And I heard that An Yifeng and Tang Yishan didn't want to act and didn't dare to invest? Then I am even more interested..."

This was obviously not the place to talk about movies, so Yang Tian just said a few words to Lin Xing and then planned to talk about it later.

Of course, this time in "Love is Back", Lin Xing doesn't need to speak anymore.

The truth is that the production team knows Lin Xing's character, and they are really afraid that Lin Xing will not give them face again.

So after watching two episodes of "Love is Back", most of the other actors came to praise it.

At this time, many people actually saw what Lin Xing said during the interview.

"Oh my god, Lin Xing really shot a large area."

"No, is Lin Xing planning to quit the domestic entertainment industry? He has offended half of the domestic entertainment industry."

"Let's put it another way. Lin Xing shouldn't have stepped on the movie 'The Fall of the Demon City'. If you can make a good movie, that's fine. But don't go back and make something worse than 'The Fall of the Demon City'."

……

Many people on the Internet think that Lin Xing is a bit too high-profile.

Even Ding Chunling told Lin Xing about this matter. Lin Xing asked Ding Chunling not to think too much about it and she would contact Wang Ruoan first.

"No, you haven't given up yet?"

Ding Chunling said: "Sun Feng has already contacted Wang Ruoan, but Wang Ruoan declined..."

"It's different. Wang Ruoan didn't read the biography about him in Death on Earth. In particular, I think this role is quite suitable for him..."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly: "Anyway, you will definitely see it at the Hundred Flowers Awards, you can talk to Wang Ruoan first."

"Axing..."

At this time, Yang Tian walked towards Lin Xing and said, "I won't read the original novel of Death on Earth. You know, what I hate most is reading novels. Can you give me the script? And can you let me play the leading female role? I am willing to invest 3000 million..."

Good guy.

Yang Tian is really generous and he really dares to gamble.

He directly brought in money, and he brought in 3000 million yuan in funding.

However, Lin Xing shook her head and said, "Sister Tian, ​​you may not have a chance to play the leading female role because it has already been decided."

"Hmm? An Yifeng agreed again???"

Yang Tian's first reaction was to ask in some surprise.

It is obvious that Yang Tian really thinks that only An Yifeng can make Lin Xing reject him.
