This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 452 This is the protagonist's halo

It’s no coincidence that Wang Ruoan has remained popular, especially since he was an idol singer.

At that time, there were superstars, singing queens, dancing emperors, singing gods, etc. Compared with the current music scene, it can be said that it was an era of fierce competition among the gods.

Wang Ruoan was able to fight his way out of that era and rise to the top step by step because of his strong self-control and vision.

That's right.

If you talk about talent, Wang Ruoan is definitely not the best in singing. Even at his age when there are many talented singers, he can't even be ranked in the top five. But he has been singing until now, and his singing skills are as stable as ever.

As for the singers of the same period, some retired, some became outdated, and some disappeared. Even though Wang Ruoan is 65 years old now, tickets for his concerts are still hard to get.

Look at the artists of the same period as him, even the various kings and queens who were once popular in the streets and alleys, many tickets are no longer selling.

But what really makes Wang Ruoan admired is not just the music industry, but the film industry.

Back then, Wang Ruoan was an idol singer, but to use today's words, he is even more of a young and handsome guy.

He has always been a two-legged person in singing and acting. Why is Wang Ruoan called a model worker? Because he was not very good at singing and acting in the early stage, and he won by quantity.

He started starring in his first TV series at the age of 20, and then began playing supporting roles in various movies at the age of 23, until he started playing the leading role at the age of 25.

But Wang Ruoan was always suppressed by Xie Ming, Fang Lei, Guo Dong, Chu Xingrui and others. This suppression meant that when Wang Ruoan acted with them, he was always at a disadvantage.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ruoan has been criticized by everyone, saying that he has poor acting skills and singing skills and relies entirely on marketing.

Why do people say Wang Ruoan is hypocritical?

That’s actually what I mean, because Wang Ruoan seems to have created a perfect personality in various ways. Isn’t he just a packaged star?
But 35 years have passed, and too many artists who were in the same period as Wang Ruoan have fallen behind. I just talked about the music industry, but the same is true for the film industry. Even Chu Xingrui, who was once known as the Chu God, hasn't had any works for a long time? ?

But Wang Ruoan still maintains a high output rate, and his works are huge in volume, so there is always one work that can become famous.

What’s more important is that Wang Ruoan is not as arrogant as Chen Sheng and Chu Xingrui. He is a person who can humble himself.

Over the years, Wang Ruoan has promoted many new directors, and even got cheated once, but he is always willing to promote them.

But look at Chu Xingrui, he never makes a cameo appearance in other movies. Ouyang Qing even scolded Chu Xingrui back then. He thought that Chu Xingrui had no idea how to behave. I had helped him, but he refused to even make a cameo appearance in my movie.

This is Ouyang Qing. If it were someone else, Chu Xingrui would not even pay any attention.

As for Mr. Chen, it was similar because he felt that his current position was not suitable.

But Wang Ruoan is different. He is willing to try more. He even often takes care of some out-of-date artists and often introduces some roles to them.

Because of this, Wang Ruoan has a great reputation in the entire circle, and there are almost no directors, actors, and producers who fail to praise him.

Of course, because of this, Wang Ruoan has been cheated quite a few times.

Otherwise, why does he make so many bad movies?

A lot of it has to do with human relationships, and some of them were clearly given good scripts, but they changed during filming.

Wang Ruoan’s agent has seen this a lot, so most of the time the agent would try to stop them.

There are too many scammers in the entertainment industry. Some of them steal money, some of them steal women, and some of them just take a crappy script and make it into a classic to become famous.

Because of this, Wang Ruoan's agent looked at Lin Xing as if he was a big liar.

So as soon as Lin Xing left, he couldn't help but quickly persuade Wang Ruoan.

But seeing Wang Ruoan's moved look, he couldn't help but continue: "Brother An, this science fiction movie is really dead. Look at Xie Ming who filmed "The Fall of the Demon City", he is still being ridiculed now."

It was said that other people’s agents were worried that Wang Ruoan wouldn’t take it seriously, so Wang Ruoan simply said Xie Ming.

After all, Wang Ruoan and Xie Ming were rivals in the film industry back then.

You have to know that in terms of Best Actor, Wang Ruoan lost to Xie Ming in all the major film festivals.

Wang Ruoan was nominated six times for the Golden Dragon Award, the highest film award, and lost all six times. It took him 25 years to win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor with the art film "Echo".

Before that, he had never won not only the Golden Dragon Award, but also the Hundred Flowers Award, and he had never won the other two highly prestigious Golden Tiger and Golden Sea Awards.

Otherwise, why do many people think that Wang Ruoan is not good enough?
Some also say that he is immune to awards.

I didn’t win the Best Actor award, so I don’t have any sense of recognition.

In Wang Ruoan's opinion, if he only shoots stable films that are popular in the market, he feels that he will never win the Best Actor award in his lifetime.

For this reason, Lin Xinglai just now did not talk to me about the script, but only talked about feelings, the future, genres, prospects, etc.

There is another point that Lin Xing really hit the nail on the head for Wang Ruoan, which is that what Wang Ruoan really needs now is reputation and influence.

But it is very difficult to choose a script that has both good reputation and influence.

I've said it before, this is something you can only encounter once in a while, who doesn't want to make a hit movie? ?
No.

To be precise, who doesn’t want to make a blockbuster movie with good reputation?

But how is it possible? ?

Today's audiences have low patience, and because short videos often feature climaxes, audiences prefer videos with dense climaxes.

It is also because of this that many film and television dramas have been turned into short videos. There is no other way. Otherwise, there will be no box office. But the more it is like this, the more likely the audience will find it boring after watching it.

This is a vicious cycle.

But there is no way. For the sake of box office, many publicity and promotion agencies will do this. Take the recent "A Good Man" as an example. The current publicity and promotion is through short videos.

Even the publicity is based on the various film and television publicity that everyone has complained about before.

What shocked Master Guo.

You have to know that in the past two years, whenever Master Guo’s movies are released, they are basically shocking.

There are also videos that use keywords like "How scary the villain Dong Yang is", "How heartbroken Miao Hui cries", "Tian Hui is so miserable", etc. in this promotion.

In short, they are all videos of more than ten or even twenty seconds.

To be honest, these videos are really eye-catching.

But for a show like "Master Guo is Shocked", many viewers have been complaining about it endlessly.

What should I say?

Damn, you are Master Guo. All actors are proud to act in your dramas. You have seen so many actors. At this time, would you be shocked by an actor's acting skills? ?
It's too fake.

Just think about it, even Master Guo is like this now. Even Master Guo’s dramas may not necessarily be both popular and box office success, let alone other people.

There is no 100% sure win.

So Lin Xing has been on a roll in the past few years. Every TV series and movie he has made has been a success.

To be honest, this is really a miracle.

Precisely because it is a miracle, everyone feels that it has no sustainability. So when Lin Xing was about to shoot "Death on Earth" this time, many people were not optimistic.

An Yifeng's mother and sister secretly helped An Yifeng to decline the offer. Tang Yishan didn't even bother to be tactful. As for the actors who had previously agreed to Sun Feng's offer, they all ran away.

Not to mention other factors, when all of them are added together, Wang Ruoan's agent would definitely not be happy about this.

There is also a more crucial point, that is, Lin Xing just now really looked like a liar. "Probably not."

Wang Ruoan looked at the script, concept drawings, creative settings, character biographies, and other drawings left by Lin Xing and shook his head and said, "Didn't you say before that you would cooperate with Lin Xing if you could?"

The agent said hurriedly: "Brother An, I mean to cooperate with other dramas, such as spy wars, literary films, etc. I think..."

“How can cooperation be as good as we want?”

Wang Ruoan shook his head and said, "I am quite interested in this science fiction movie script, especially the creative settings and wild ideas that Lin Xing mentioned. They are very attractive to me. Besides, what's wrong with being a supporting role?"

Supporting actors don’t need to carry the box office.

This is also very suitable for Wang Ruoan.

What's more, what Lin Xing said just now was quite sincere. This movie has four outcomes.

If it’s a bad movie, then everyone will just scold Lin Xing.

If it’s a good movie, then everyone will praise all the artists, and naturally Wang Ruoan will be praised more.

Bad movie + low box office, everyone still just blames Lin Xing.

As for a good movie with a low box office, which is critically acclaimed but not commercially successful, people will praise Wang Ruoan even more.

Anyway, no matter which result it is, it will be beneficial to Wang Ruoan.

Wang Ruoan is a good person, and he has a good character in the industry, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.

All I can say is that everyone sees it differently.

On the one hand, Wang Ruoan was attracted by Lin Xing as a person, and on the other hand, he was attracted by the preparations for Death on Earth. More importantly, he was willing to give it a try.

If you lose, you lose.

Wang Ruoan really doesn't have much of the so-called idol baggage. In order to transform himself, he even took the initiative to dress up in various ways to make himself look ugly.

Of course, a more important point is that Wang Ruoan is already this age. Although he has always maintained a good figure and is even called an ageless idol, he is still 65 years old.

Although Wang Ruoan can now play lovers with people in their 20s or 30s, he still prefers to play a role that suits his character.

Coincidentally, this time the role in "Death on Earth" is more suitable for him, even including the comparison between youth, middle age and old age.

In short, Wang Ruoan is willing to try losing.

If you lose, you lose.

If you want to take risks and take a gamble, then you can't be afraid of failure.

"You don't have to say any more."

Wang Ruoan waved his hand slightly and said, "Lin Xing is so young and dares to take such a risk, why shouldn't I dare?"

Now that things have come to this, the agent will not try to persuade him any further.

As for Wang Ruoan, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Is Lin Xing's short film going to be screened today as well?"

"Yes, the short film will be officially screened at 2 pm, but Li Jing has invited us."

The agent nodded slightly and said.

This time, "The King's Guards" is screened as the opening ceremony short film of the Hundred Flowers Awards, and the film producers actually attach great importance to it.

To be precise, Li Jing and Situ Hui both attach great importance to it.

After all, this short film is a very good recruitment advertisement, and if "The King's Guards" is successful at the opening ceremony of the short film screening at the Hundred Flowers Awards, it will definitely receive good attention.

Although this short film has not been screened yet, Penguin Video has already bought out the exclusive rights to it. It is obvious that Penguin Video took the lead when other video sites were still unable to react.

Again, Penguin Video mainly trusts Lin Xing.

You have to know that other video websites have no confidence in Li Jing, and more importantly, they also have no confidence in martial arts films.

Martial arts is dead.

This is true.

Take a look at the current martial arts movies, and the box office of even the most successful one has never exceeded 3 million.

There hasn't even been a movie that grossed over 100 million yuan in the past three years.

Under such circumstances, Li Jing's previous film "Eighteen Heroes of the Republic of China" was a complete flop, and he almost retired from the circle.

Now I am shooting a short film like this.

Why is this?
In fact, many people understand that this is for the promotion of the so-called training school, especially since Situ Hui is a person who does acting training.

Many people expressed their incomprehension before this.

Even when Lin Xing talked about how different this martial arts short film was, many people also felt that Lin Xing was just talking about worldly matters.

You have to know that Lin Xing is not the leading male role, he is a supporting role.

And today, after the opening ceremony of the Hundred Flowers Awards, Lin Xing walked the red carpet with everyone from "The King's Guards" and also responded to this matter.

But more people didn't believe Lin Xing's response.

Not only netizens don't believe it, but many people in the industry also don't believe it.

So when they were invited to watch the short film "The King's Guards", they actually did not quite believe it.

Li Jing and Situ Hui still have some connections, and more importantly, this short film was starred by Lin Xing, so all the main creators of "Sunspots" also came.

However, Lin Xing has already said hello to Li Jing and Situ Hui, so there is no need to invite anyone to comment.

no need.

This is a short film, not a movie, and it will be released on Penguin Video soon. Let the audience watch it to see whether it is good or not.

Situ Hui and Li Jing also agreed with this.

Well, today's screening invited everyone to come and watch it, and even the main creators like Lin Xing did not go on stage to speak.

Wang Ruoan was wearing a hat and a mask and played an inconspicuous role, so not many people paid attention to him.

Although it is called a short film, it is actually almost 50 minutes long in the end, and the pace is quite fast, without any nonsense throughout.

You could even call it a movie.

Everyone was a little surprised after watching it, because "The King's Guards" is really different from previous martial arts films.

Of course, the person who impressed everyone the most after watching the movie was still Lin Xing.

This is really the halo of the protagonist. Even if Lin Xing is a supporting role, everyone feels that he is the protagonist.
