This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 462: How much support?
Actually, what Lao Zhong said is not wrong. At present, online movies are indeed at the bottom of the contempt chain. Even online dramas have become high-quality, and online dramas are on par with TV dramas.

But online movies are not like that. On the one hand, they are poorly made, and on the other hand, if you want to watch truly high-quality online movies, why not go to the cinema?

It is precisely because of this that, as Lao Zhong said, online dramas are basically starred by out-of-date actors, internet celebrities, variety show stars, etc., and only those who have been abandoned by the film and television drama market will star in online dramas.

Do you think there are any high-quality online movies?
Have.

Just like the current top online celebrity Qi Dongqiang, he and Xie Long are from the same generation and both debuted as child stars.

But Qi Dongqiang was very popular all over the country at that time and was one of the most popular child stars.

However, the child star curse was also fully demonstrated on Qi Dongqiang. Since he was 20 years old, not many people asked him to film. Then after a few years of silence, Qi Dongqiang started filming online movies.

Qi Dongqiang is now a leading figure in the field of online movies. He can even shoot seven or eight online movies a year. Some of them are shoddy, but some of them can score as high as 8 points on Bihu and Douban.

Qi Dongqiang's films such as "The New Legend of Erlang Shen", "Yue Family Army" and "Crazy Detective" have all received extremely high praise, and his action scenes are quite good.

After all, Qi Dongqiang was one of the most capable child stars back then.

But to be honest, no matter how great Qi Dongqiang is in the online movie industry, it cannot change his status. He cannot make it into the film industry, and the TV drama and online drama circles do not need him either.

It is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. But how can a chicken head be on the stage???
Qi Dongqiang also wanted to find an opportunity to return to the big screen, but it was too difficult.

The Movie Channel once did an exclusive interview, which was titled "Child Stars Who Grew Up With Us". Most of the child stars we are familiar with were included in this episode, and Qi Dongqiang was also interviewed.

"I know that online movies are looked down upon and despised by others, but I can only shoot online movies, and I don't think it's shameful to shoot online movies. I am very grateful to online movies because I have been noticed by everyone again because of them."

"I hope that one day online movies and online dramas can be recognized by the industry and liked by more audiences."

……

These words are both Qi Dongqiang's inner voice and his persistence.

He really hopes that one day online movies can be on par with movies, and that online movies will no longer be the only movies made by rubbish actors.

But it's too difficult.

Unless there are top-tier, good actors in the circle who are willing to come down to earth to shoot online movies, and then slowly build up the online movies, this requires both these actors to come down to earth and time.

If you don’t believe me, take a look at online dramas. A few years ago, no one was optimistic about them. If someone made an online drama, it would be so rubbish. But what about now? ?
Many top stars are filming web dramas.

Even online dramas can be nominated for mainstream awards, so naturally there will no longer be any chain of contempt.

But the Internet is different.

Online movies are now really at the lowest end of the contempt chain. Online movies will never participate in any of the major film awards, and only various video websites will give a little promotion to their own online movies.

But this is destined to not make any waves.

Now, Lin Xing is willing to take the initiative to shoot a short film, and even put it online as an online movie on the Penguin Video website. This is actually a fantasy for many online movie actors.

Lin Xing is one of the most popular stars nowadays. Isn't it funny that he is filming a web drama? ?

Later, after everyone got to know the situation, Qi Dongqiang even asked his agent specifically, and then they realized it was a misunderstanding.

It was nothing more than that Li Jing and Situ Hui used their favors to let Lin Xing act in two scenes, and then promoted the film as starring Lin Xing.

When Lin Xing Studio took the initiative to refute the rumor, Qi Dongqiang's idea was further confirmed.

"I thought too much. I really thought Lin Xing was willing to make a short film."

Qi Dongqiang said to his agent with a bitter smile.

The agent was also a little amused: "What are you thinking? Is Lin Xing bored and wants to shoot an online movie? It's obvious that he doesn't want to have anything to do with online movies at all. His studio's statement speaks for itself."

As a result, even the agent was confused by the subsequent developments.

Lin Xing not only attended the premiere of "The King's Guards", he also went to Penguin Video with everyone to tour the site. He was quite cooperative.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but today there are a large number of artists coming to promote the network. All of them, the artists that Qi Dongqiang usually looks up to, are promoting "The King's Guards".

It can be said that today is the day when online movies have the strongest presence.

Qi Dongqiang was also a little excited. He directly said on his Weibo: "I am joining in the fun. The short film "Jin Yi Wei" will be launched on Penguin Video soon. To support Brother Xing, I will give away 2000 movie viewing gift packages. I hope the market for online movies will get better and better in the future."

"I knew that Brother Qiang would promote it. I hope that one day Brother Qiang can work with Brother Xing."

"Xiao, Brother Qiang is really good at joining in the fun, but I always feel that Brother Qiang has good acting skills and good movements. I really hope that one day I can work with Lin Xing."

"Brother Qiang is so majestic and generous. I want this movie gift package."

……

You have to know that in the past, whether Qi Dongqiang was promoting his own online movie or helping others to promote it, the number of comments and reposts on his Weibo basically never broke 500, let alone .

But this time, the number of reposts and comments on Qi Dongqiang’s Weibo instantly exceeded one thousand.

After all, Qi Dongqiang doesn’t have a fan circle, he is more popular among passers-by, so everyone feels that this time it’s a bit of a dream linkage.

You have to know that Qi Dongqiang debuted as a child star. Many people watched him grow up, and many people grew up with him.

Before this, many people thought that Qi Dongqiang had retired.

"Oh my god, I just realized that Qi Dongqiang actually filmed so many online movies? I always thought Qi Dongqiang had stopped filming a movie a long time ago."

"Where has time gone? In my memory, Qi Dongqiang is still the 9-year-old prince. I never thought that he is almost 40 years old now, and he has become a tough guy now."

"That's true. But Qi Dongqiang's action scenes are really good. I thought he had retired before, but later I found out that he has become the top star in online dramas."

"It turns out that the number one online celebrity is really worthless. Many passers-by don't even know this."

……

From this we can also see why most artists are unwilling to shoot online movies, because they cannot convert influence at all.

Let’s not talk about other people for now, just say Qi Dongqiang is already the top online celebrity, but many people don’t even know him. Even some passers-by think he has retired.

No one expected that the release of a short film like "The King's Guards" would cause such a stir and heated discussion.

The entire Internet was in chaos.

Anyway, this wave of traffic is a sure win.

They originally thought it was just a marketing promotion for the launch of a short film called "The King's Guards".

I never expected that the popularity would come in waves.

Apart from other things, the fact that An Yifeng, Yang Tian, ​​and Tang Yishan all posted on Weibo together would have caused the traffic on Zhalang to explode. Lin Xing's traffic was really extraordinary.

Ever since he failed to win the Best Actor award at the Hundred Flowers Awards, Lin Xing's traffic has remained high in the past few days.

Originally, "The King's Guards" was scheduled to be released on August 8th in order to take advantage of Lin Xing's popularity.

At the beginning, everyone was betting that Lin Xing would be the best actor, because no matter from which aspect, Lin Xing should be the undisputed choice for the best actor.

It’s not that Guo Hai is not strong, it’s just that Lin Xing deserves the Best Actor award more.

That’s why the Hundred Flowers Awards have been heavily criticized these days.

Do you all think that you deserve the Hundred Flowers Award?

The box office of the art film "Sunspots" has exceeded 20 billion, and Lin Xing's acting skills are so strong, but you don't let Lin Xing win an award? ?
Lin Xing was not given last year’s “Killing Ading” and he is not given this year’s “Sunspots” either.

Someone is preparing to post a thread saying: "If you have the guts, why don't you continue not giving the Hundred Flowers Award to "Going to Heaven" next year??"

Originally, Guo Hai won the Best Actor award this time, and he has been accepting various interviews in the past few days, including an exclusive interview with the Sixth Princess. During the interview, he even revealed that he has been working with Master Guo.

Yes, Guo Hai has been cast as the leading male role in the blockbuster film directed by Master Guo.

Then, Master Guo said in an interview: "I don't rule out inviting Lin Xing again, because this is a two-hero drama. To be precise, I want to shoot a group drama. Of course, it is still in the preparation stage, and all our energy is still focused on the National Day..."

This year's National Day holiday may become the hottest National Day holiday because there are many themes for the movies.

There are works with realistic themes like Master Guo’s "A Good Man".

The only romantic suspense film is "Dangerous Liaisons" by Wang Ruoan.

There is also an anime-themed movie "Wukong VS Erlang Shen".

There is also the comedy "Customized Couple", starring Sharp.

There is also a main theme movie, "Unretreat from Resistance" directed by Ouyang Qing. This movie was filmed by a group of actors and can be regarded as a compilation movie. Ouyang Qing is the chief director, and there are 4 other directors, each shooting 4 anti-Japanese stories.

That’s 5 of them, and there are another 3 which are small productions, but they also have a certain appeal.

In short, there are more themes and more blockbusters during the National Day holiday, which may be able to heat up the market.

Of course, there is still more than a month away from the National Day, so it is still unknown whether other movies will be scheduled.

It's just because Guo Hai just won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, so he wanted to market himself and said more. After all, Guo Hai also performed in "Customized Couple" during the National Day holiday, and he also performed in "Anti-Japanese War".

What to say???
Just do marketing and promotion as much as possible, and you must improve your status, style, reputation, and popularity.

As a result, Guo Hai's side found that they had spent enough money, but all the attention was sucked away by Lin Xing.

Not even a drop is left for them.

Finally, Guo Hai’s manager said, “Let’s not start marketing for now. It’s just a few days. Let’s wait until Lin Xing’s short film “Jin Yi Wei” is online. After all, it’s just a short film. Can this popularity last for a month?”

Anyway, the promotion of major movies during the National Day generally starts in September. By then, Lin Xing will have no works to be broadcast or released, and no news about him. Who will pay attention to him? ?

Guo Hai's agent thought that since we had won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, and there were two more movies released during the National Day holiday, although Guo Hai only had a cameo appearance in a few scenes in "Resist the Japanese Aggression".

But so what?
As long as the publicity is good, we can still be the protagonists.

Therefore, at this time, Guo Hai's agent suggested that Guo Hai did not need to pay attention to the outside discussions, the most important thing was to have a good attitude.

After all, anyone who wins the Best Actor award and then is criticized every day, saying, "Lin Xing's acting is better than yours, you don't deserve the Best Actor award," will feel angry.

But no matter how angry I am, I cannot respond, let alone debate with netizens, saying things like: "I admit that Lin Xing is excellent, but my acting skills are not bad either."

As long as there is a response, it basically means crisis public relations.

So, for now, Guo Hai is not responding much or promoting it anymore, just trying to avoid the limelight.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to promote, nor does he not want to market, he just really can’t beat the traffic.

With Guo Hai's continued marketing and publicity, the topic can reach tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of discussions.

But look at Lin Xing's side.

Not to mention that the discussion volume of the "Jin Yi Wei" short film has exceeded 100 million, even the discussion topics forwarded by people like An Yifeng have reached a certain level.

Now that "The King's Guards" is about to be released, what everyone wants to know is how much the box office will be this time? ?
“I actually also want to know how much the box office of “The King’s Guards” will reach?”

"But let's be honest, there are already quite a few movie tickets given away by various stars. Will the box office reach a peak?"

"Among the current box office revenues shared by the major video websites, the highest box office revenue is only 50 million, and that 50 million already involves various marketing efforts and big names."

"That's right. If Lin Xing were a top star now, would the box office reach 100 million based on Lin Xing's words?"

"One hundred million is possible, but it's a bit ridiculous to say that the box office revenue sharing will reach one hundred million. If that's the case, the total box office revenue will have to be more than one hundred million. Although Penguin Video gave a little more, it's useless."

……

In an instant, it can be said that everyone's discussion and attention are focused here.

That is, how much the box office of "The King's Guards" can reach in the end.

I still say that, for now, don’t care what other people think, and don’t care what Lin Xing says that he is not the lead actor, now everyone is here for you, Lin Xing.

In this case, then we have to see your appeal, Lin Xing.

Let’s see if Lin Xing can perform even better in the online university.

It really seems like we've fallen into a cycle again.

Because according to what many people said, this matter basically has nothing to do with Lin Xing, Lin Xing is just a supporting role.

As a result, everything now depends on Lin Xing.

So, was the rumor refuted by Lin Xing Studio true? ?
While everyone was discussing this, the short film "The King's Guards" was finally released online.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, we will finally see how much the box office will be.
