This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 467: Pull the table, far ahead (plus more)
After chatting with Zu Ming for a few more words, Lin Xing simply hung up the phone.

He couldn't find peace and quiet even if he wanted to.

Because the short film "The King's Guards" is so powerful, if it continues like this, the box office revenue of several hundred million yuan may be just a piece of cake.

As a result, more people called Lin Xing.

Li Jing and Situ Hui both called to talk about the celebration banquet, because Penguin Video wanted to scan the posts again and then conduct a group interview.

Then came people congratulating each other, making dinner appointments, and so on.

We are all friends. When someone calls you to congratulate you, what can you say?
What's more, these friends have supported "The King's Guards" with real money, so Lin Xing can only express his gratitude one by one.

As for Lin Xing's invitation to drink, he declined. He really didn't have time. Not to mention the interview on Penguin Video about "The King's Guards", there was also the premiere of "Love Is Not Easy" with Zu Ming, and he also needed to have a small gathering for "Death on Earth", etc.

This does not include upcoming magazine shoots, endorsement shoots, film weekly interviews, etc.

Because we had already interviewed Lin Xing some of the time during the Hundred Flowers Awards, but the success of the short film "The Imperial Guards" made the [Film Channel] want to invite Lin Xing for another exclusive interview.

Even Minnie is constantly making appointments with Lin Xing. The last time he recorded a show with Minnie was when "Mining Town" was a success. At that time, "Mining Town" participated in "Tonight's Drama" on Tan Province Satellite TV. At the same time, the next day Lin Xing recorded "A Day Trip with Minnie" on the way to the Magic City.

But since the promotion of "Going to Heaven" after "Mining Town", Lin Xing really has no time to record "A Day Tour with Mi". He even has no time to participate in the major variety shows of Tan Province Satellite TV.

However, the two have always been in contact. Minnie really wants to invite Lin Xing to do a show. After all, every episode of the show with Lin Xing has attracted a lot of discussion.

But Lin Xing really felt that there was no need for it.

After all, most talk shows are pretty much the same. Since he has already participated in the [Movie Channel] and Penguin Video, there is no need for him to participate in too many at this time.

Wait for next time, there will be a chance.

This is what Lin Xing said.

Zheng Zhou is preparing the next script, so of course he still wants to strike while the iron is hot to see if he can work with Lin Xing again. Lin Xing said he would wait until the script comes out, so there's no need to invite him for drinks.

In short, with calls for various invitations, congratulations, and dinners coming one after another, Lin Xing simply turned off his phone.

This month's schedule is really packed.

"Ah Xing, Situ Hui just called me again. He said that Penguin Video's floor-to-floor interview will be held at 3 pm tomorrow. It's a group live interview..."

Ding Chunling said to Lin Xing: "It seems that Penguin Video wants to take advantage of the situation to promote it again. I'm afraid there will be too much publicity in the future..."

"kindness."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "Okay, I understand."

Tomorrow, August 8th, I will be doing a tour on Penguin Video, which will also be considered an interview.

On August 8, Lin Xing is going to shoot the cover of a magazine and do an exclusive interview. After all, September and October are the golden months, and as a hot star, Lin Xing will naturally be interviewed by "Fashion Men's Style" again.

August 8th will be the launch conference for "Love Is Not Easy". This was said by Zu Ming and Lin Xing, because "Love Is Not Easy" is scheduled to be released on the 9th, after all, it will be broadcast online first, so the launch conference will be held one day in advance, and promotion will definitely continue the next day.

As for the activities after the 9th, they will also be held one after another.

"Ah Xing, since Death on Earth won't start filming until November, would you like to take on a script in the next two months?"

Ding Chunling asked Lin Xing, "We can't be idle for two months, so we can take on some scripts that don't require much time to prepare and experience life. What do you think?"

"If the script is suitable, it's fine."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "But is there a suitable script?"

"I'll help you choose."

Ding Chunling said hurriedly: "As long as you accept it, there will be no worries about the script."

Lin Xing disagreed.

The biggest worry in the film and television industry right now is actually the script, and a good script at that.

Although all the major capitals and film and television companies are clamoring that "content is king", and even demand respect for creators, screenwriters, etc., what they are actually doing is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

They think that good scripts are like leeks, which grow again after being harvested. They even think that good scripts can grow at any time.

So since last year, the cold winter of the film and television industry has gradually arrived, and many movies and TV series have been ruined.

Why has "The King's Guards" attracted such a big response since it was launched on Penguin Video yesterday? ?

On the one hand, the audience had been fed up with bad dramas for a long time, and suddenly there was a good short film that made the audience willing to pay for it. This is the most important reason why "The King's Guards" became a hit on the first day.

On the one hand, film and television companies, investors and many people in the industry have discovered that there is still a market for martial arts films and that people are still willing to watch action films, so they are even preparing to copy and paste them in large quantities.

It can also be seen from here that the industry really has no intention of preparing a good script. According to the thinking of many big bosses: "I can succeed by copying, why should I work so hard to create an original work?"

A more crucial point is that original creations may not necessarily lead to success. A good script may take a year and a half, or even two to three years. This time is too long. What if it takes another year and a half to shoot, and the drama or film is not successful in the final few years? It will be a flop.

Isn’t this a big loss?

Instead of that, it is better to write the script quickly, shoot quickly, release the film quickly, and get the money back quickly.

Don’t be afraid of the bad parts, we can find marketing accounts to blow it up.

Don’t be afraid of scolding, the more scolding you get, the more traffic you get.

If you hire a few popular artists and ask their fans to help maintain it, it will basically be done.

This has always been the routine. Let's put it this way, people like Lin Xing who work diligently, only shoot one or two dramas a year, study the script, try hard to experience life, and do not overlap with other projects during filming are special cases. Even the top executives in the entire domestic entertainment industry can find such a special case.

Even Wang Ruoan can't do this, otherwise how can he be called a model worker???

Of course, the demands of today’s fans and audiences have also changed. In the past, artists would be criticized if they joined a crew seamlessly, but now they will be praised for their ambition.

Not to mention other people, let’s just talk about the current professional police actor Fan Le. He has worked with Kong Tian before in "Sweeping Dark Storm". At that time, Zheng Zhou wanted to invite Lin Xing to the show, but Lin Xing declined, which led to the collaboration between Kong Tian and Fan Le.

What should I say? ?
Fan Le is a good actor and also a talented actor, but he has to shoot almost six or seven movies a year, most of which are police roles.

In Fan Le's words, I also want challenges and good scripts, but there are none. Even the scripts I have accepted are not complete.

But I’m an actor. All I can do is not play my role badly. I can’t control the rest.

There are many veteran actors like Fan Le in the entertainment industry, and some of them are even worse than Fan Le, because they almost adopt a lying-flat acting style, and they are just playing themselves in any drama.

no way.

Even if they play themselves, their acting skills are better than the popular actors or other actors in the same crew.

This is due to the overall environment.

It's hard to change.

Lin Xing had said before that he had no intention of changing the overall environment. All he could do was control himself, choose good scripts, act well, and be a good person.

Let the rest go.

Because of Lin Xing's attitude, he is not constrained by capital like other artists. But it is precisely because of this that Lin Xing can create miracles again and again.

Because there is no meddling from capital sources and no random changes from other artists in the crew, a good script can be presented.

Just like this time's "The King's Guards".

The three leading actors, Xie Long, Meng Fei and Zhang Ming, are not qualified to change their own plays. All they can do is to play their roles well.

Veteran actors like Zhou Hai, Niu Xiaofeng, etc. are even more Buddhist. They can play their roles well, and they are not like some veteran actors who insist on adding more scenes for me.

Then there are top stars like Lin Xing. Not only did Lin Xing not add more roles for himself in the crew, he even gave up a lot of roles.

Everything is for the script, everything is for the final presentation.

Only in this way can there be such a qualified short film.

After all, Situ Hui and Li Jing are responsible for the final effect. They want to use this short film as a promotional video for their [Jing Wu Tang], so naturally they will not do anything just to highlight a certain artist.

Only in this way can the whole play be considered a success.

But the outside world doesn't care much.

Currently, a large number of people are putting the credit for the success of "The King's Guards" on Lin Xing.

"My goodness, what did I say before? Lin Xing really has been creating miracles."

"Yes, I think so too. To be honest, the short film "Jin Yi Wei" was really brought to life by Lin Xing."

"Some people thought that Lin Xing would never become the No. 1 online celebrity, but now he has become the No. 1 online celebrity."

"Didn't you see that Qi Dongqiang posted several Weibo posts and videos in a row? He was thanking Lin Xing for expanding the scale of the Internet."

……

This large group of people are typical people who come here to watch the fun.

If the short film "The King's Guards" really fails at the box office, they will even turn around and immediately say that Lin Xing is not good enough.

As I said, most people will support whoever wins.

As for real insiders, in the online forum, many people are analyzing why the success of "The King's Guards" lies in the script.

An insider said that Li Jing invited five bigwigs to write the script of "The King's Guards", and even invited history professors to serve as consultants. Although it is just a short film, to be honest, the importance attached to the script of this short film is no less than that of a movie.

In addition, even Lao Zhong said on his Weibo: "Those who have turned the success of "The King's Guard" into entertainment, those who say that Lin Xing's film will be a hit, and those who say that without Lin Xing, there would be no success of "The King's Guard", I think they are all disrespectful to "The King's Guard" and also disrespectful to Lin Xing.

You can start with "Sweeping Black Waves" and take a closer look at what Lin Xing has been doing.

He is a person who takes the script seriously.

……

"Old Zhong is right. Lin Xing's success may seem accidental, but it is actually inevitable."

"That's right. Take the original "Never Breaking Line" for example. If Dong Yang played the leading role, it might be even more popular. This is the power of the script."

"Yes, to put it bluntly, you have to respect the script and the originality, and then you can succeed."

"Yes, look at why "Sweeping Black Waves" was a huge success, but "Sweeping Black Storm" had mixed reviews? Isn't it because Zheng Zhou wanted to curry favor?"

……

"Why do I like Lao Zhong? It's because Lao Zhong has always been relatively fair. She doesn't blindly praise Lin Xing. She uses data to praise Lin Xing."

"Damn, compared to bragging without thinking, I think bragging with data is more awesome."

"But I'd like to know if Penguin Video will announce the 24-hour box office of "The King's Men" later?"

"Of course it will. If we break 16 million in 6000 hours, we will definitely break 24 million in 8000 hours."

……

Everyone is guessing the 24-hour data of "The King's Guards".

Penguin Video then also collected the 24-hour data of "The King's Guards".

“Oh my god, in the last few hours, it was less than 1000 million??”

"I thought that "The King's Guards" would definitely break 8000 million???"

"Yeah, it broke 16 million in 6000 hours, how come it's less than 8 million in the next 800 hours?"

……

"It would be great if it could break 24 million in 24 hours. I think it's a bit low to break 7000 million in hours."

“I think it’s a bit low, too.”

……

"You guys above really don't understand online movies. Do you know what it means to be able to break 16 million in 8 hours after 800 hours of release?"

"Some online movies nowadays can't even break 200 million in a month. Even Qi Dongqiang, who is the top online movie star, took him three months to break 800 million in his last movie."

"Fuck, 800 million is not a lot of money in your eyes?"

"Anyone who knows about online dramas knows how awesome this Jin Yi Wei is."

……

At this time, the official Weibo of "Jin Yi Wei" also started to list the information.

As of now, "The King's Guards" has just been online for 24 hours, and the box office has just exceeded 7000 million.

At the same time, it ranks first in all data such as popularity, barrage, number of discussion comments, Weibo topic discussion, data network forum discussion, B station secondary creation discussion, etc.

50 records, with 'etc.' written at the end.

In other words, it would be impossible to praise "The King's Guards" completely by making a table.

It's so strong.

What does it mean to be the top internet celebrity?
What is the ceiling of the Internet?
What does it mean to be far ahead?
Please look at the data of "The Imperial Guards" and you will know.

Even so, a lot of people still said that it was a pity that it didn't break 100 million. It was simply a waste of time for many online movie investment companies and actors.

Isn't that so annoying?
At the same time, Penguin Video once again announced that the main creators will conduct a live broadcast at 3 pm tomorrow, and everyone can talk about why "The King's Guards" is so popular.
