This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 520: Confidentiality, Fantasy, Rejection
Because they had something to talk about, they didn't drink too much at Zheng Zhou Hotpot Restaurant. What's more, Lin Xing had to meet Guo Haishan tomorrow.

That's right.

After all, it is almost November now, and Guo Haishan has almost finished creating the sketch in the early stage. The next step is to make adjustments.

Of course, as for the Spring Festival Gala, there will always be unexpected things if it is not aired in advance, not to mention that every review requires revisions over and over again.

Lin Xing, who had performed on the Spring Festival Gala once, had a deep understanding of this point. After all, his program at that time also underwent temporary adjustments.

This is just singing, if it were a skit it would be even more difficult.

To be honest, it is becoming increasingly difficult to create comedic effects in skits nowadays, because many skits are becoming tragic.

It starts with joy but ends with sorrow, as if a skit wouldn't be a good one if it doesn't make people cry at the end.

Not only that, some sketches are becoming more and more educational. You should know that Guo Haishan is actually very resistant to this. He thinks that sketches are often just for making people laugh.

Think about it, it’s New Year’s Day, and others are watching your skit and you are trying to teach them what to do?
Isn't this just annoying? ?

To this end, Guo Haishan's sketches are designed to amuse the audience from beginning to end, while also doing everything possible to get close to the audience and educate them without being condescending.

This time, it is Guo Haishan's last year to perform on the Spring Festival Gala. His body can no longer support the annual rehearsals and dress rehearsals.

Since this is the last year of the Spring Festival Gala, Guo Haishan thinks that he must see it through to the end no matter what.

He still remembers his first year on the Spring Festival Gala, when he played a farmer, and this time Guo Haishan still wanted to write such a script.

More importantly, he wanted to use the conflict to create some comedic jokes.

For this purpose, Guo Haishan specially invited his partner of many years, Fan Zhishan, who has written many classic sketches, to write it.

At the same time, Guo Haishan originally wanted to invite his old partner Liu Baofeng to act together, because the two of them had worked together on many classic scripts.

This is the last session, and Guo Haishan wants to take his final bow with Liu Baofeng.

But it's too difficult.

You should know that Liu Baofeng has not performed on the Spring Festival Gala for nearly ten years, and he even wants to escape from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Now he is used to filming in the crew, and he is not young anymore. It would be a bit difficult for him to continue performing during the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala.

It’s not that he can’t do it, but Liu Baofeng doesn’t want to bear such great pressure.

For this reason, Liu Baofeng could only decline politely.

It was at this time that Fan Zhishan suggested that Lin Xing could perform. Firstly, since this program was about farming, Lin Xing’s performance in "Let’s Farm" was quite good.

Another thing is that Fan Zhishan really likes the "Protagonist and Supporting Actor" in "Comedy Is for Laughing".

Let me put it this way, if Fan Zhishan were asked to write a script like this, he might not be able to do it.

For this reason, Fan Zhishan thought that he could invite Lin Xing to play the role of "Teacher Lin" in the film, and have Lin Xing act opposite Guo Haishan, so that the two would form a contrast.

One is a city dweller and the other is a worker.

This is why Lin Xing was invited by Guo Haishan.

Again, every decision you make in life may affect your future.

If Lin Xing had not participated in "Comedy is for Laughing", he might not have been seen by Fan Zhishan.

"Ah Xing, this is two consecutive years that you have participated in the Spring Festival Gala."

When Zheng Zhou heard that Lin Xing was actually going to perform a skit on the Spring Festival Gala, he was a little surprised: "Not bad, if you can really succeed in performing a skit, that would be great."

"Ah Xing, what skit are you performing?"

Tang Zhong asked Lin Xing with some concern.

Lin Xing shook his head slightly: "It's a comedy, but I guess I'm not allowed to talk about the details right now."

After hearing this, Tang Zhong suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand. The Spring Festival Gala should indeed be kept secret."

Zheng Zhou smiled and said, "Old Tang, you should still care about whether Lin Xing is willing to participate in our production."

Tang Zhong smiled and said, "Ah Xing, go back and take a good look at the script. If you really want to act, then we can discuss everything else. The script is still in the initial preparation stage, so I can still make changes."

"Brother Zhong, I have to go back and take a look first. I just took a rough look just now, but I have to go back and take a closer look at the details."

Lin Xing said: "Actually, I really want to film a TV series right now, but my top priority is to finish filming Death on Earth first."

Tang Zhong expressed his understanding.

Zheng Zhou could understand, he was just a little curious: "Ah Xing, Parallel Cohabitation is about to be released, and it's only a few days away from Double Eleven. You just said you'll be working overtime, so is the first trailer going to be released too???"

Lin Xing nodded gently: "We have already discussed it. The first trailer is going to be released at the end of this month, but it will only be edited into a one-minute clip. I don't want to show the core of the movie in advance, so the trailer actually has some specious situations."

Lin Xing has to keep the skit for the Spring Festival Gala a secret, but there is no need to keep "Parallel Cohabitation" a secret.

The reason is simple, because this movie is about to be released, and we are all in the same industry, so it’s okay to discuss it with each other at this time.

What’s more crucial is that Lin Xing has no choice or decision-making power regarding the skits for the Spring Festival Gala.

But Lin Xing has a lot of decision-making power over "Parallel Cohabitation".

So when Lin Xing talked about this movie with everyone, it was not kept too secret.

But the others were a little confused.

Zheng Zhou reacted immediately: "Ah Xing, you mean this "Parallel Cohabitation" is not about a domineering CEO pursuing love? "

Not only Zheng Zhou, but Tang Zhong also looked at Lin Xing: "Ah Xing, is the domineering CEO just a gimmick?
In addition to Tang Zhong, Meng Da and Shen Zhong also looked at Lin Xing with some curiosity.

In response, Lin Xing said with a smile: "Yes, this is not a story about a domineering CEO chasing love. To be precise, I actually play a loser in it..."

"what???"

Zheng Zhou suddenly realized: "So everything before was just for publicity? And the so-called overbearing CEO is just your fantasy?"

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "This is really not a fantasy. This movie is actually a science fiction movie, which is..."

After listening to Lin Xing's words, everyone present was completely confused.

Good guy.

I originally thought this was a comedy romance movie, and it was about a domineering CEO chasing love, but after Lin Xing said this, it directly became a science fiction movie? ?

This difference is a bit too big.

Another key point is that if this really becomes a science fiction movie, the box office will be different.

Lin Xing looked at everyone and continued to explain: "Actually it's not science fiction, it should be considered a fantasy romance, because it involves things in two different time periods..."

"I knew it, I knew it." Zheng Zhou looked at Lin Xing and laughed, "I was wondering, how could you, Xing, play the role of a domineering CEO? Now that you put it that way, I'm very curious. No matter what, Xing, you must let me see it when it premieres..."

At this time, the others also became interested in what Lin Xing said.

Lin Xing nodded quickly: "Don't worry, I will invite everyone to attend the premiere."

Sometimes, a movie needs to be kept secret, and there’s even no need for a grand premiere.

But sometimes it is not the same, and you still have to do it anyway.

Lin Xing doesn't reject this. What he really rejects are those grand premieres that are ultimately just for bragging.

Lin Xing has always held premieres simply, allowing everyone to speak freely and he would never cover anyone's mouth.

Everyone can say whatever they want at any time.

Movies are meant to be watched by audiences, and the purpose of letting people in the industry watch them is to get a true opinion.

If a movie is full of boasting at all times, and even in the end there is only one voice praising it, then this movie is actually no different from a bad movie.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, Lin Xing left first. In addition to meeting Guo Haishan tomorrow, he also had to attend an event tomorrow.

After Lin Xing left, Tang Zhong asked expectantly, "Old Zheng, do you think Lin Xing will agree?"

“It’s really hard to say.”

Zheng Zhou shook his head slightly and said, "You have to know that Lin Xing's current status is very high, and he himself has no shortage of scripts. I heard that a lot of drama king scripts have been piled up for Lin Xing. Who can tell which one he wants to play?"

"That's true."

Tang Zhong nodded gently: "Now everyone knows that Lin Xing has a strong appeal. If he participates in a TV series, it often represents the quality of the TV series."

"Yes, but unless he is the protagonist, if he is a supporting role, then Lin Xing's value is not that high."

Zheng Zhou sighed, "You see, Love Is Not Easy is actually more of a Zu Ming brand. If Lin Xing plays the leading male role in our TV series, then the ratings on major video websites will definitely reach S+. But if Lin Xing only makes a cameo appearance, then the rating will not be able to reach S."

Tang Zhong frowned: "What if it's a male second or something like that?"

"That's impossible."

Zheng Zhou shook his head and said, "Are you kidding me? You let Lin Xing play the second male lead. Do you think Lin Xing would lower his status now?"

"That's true. What actor would take the initiative to play a supporting role?"

Tang Zhong was also amused by his own words: "Even many veteran actors play supporting roles because they have no more roles to play. But for someone like Lin Xing who is at the peak of his career, or even hasn't reached his peak yet, how could he play a supporting role?"

People are more mad than people.

Meng Da and Shen Zhong who were present were actually not young either. You know, many male actors become acting veterans when they are over 40, but there are different levels of acting veterans.

Some male actors soar to fame at the age of 40+, and can even play the leading male role, and then successfully complete their positioning in the uncle circle.

But some male actors are over 40 and can only play supporting roles every day, and they don’t even have a representative work.

no way.

This is the cruel market.

Meng Da and Shen Zhong are slightly better. This means that although they cannot play the leading male role, they can at least play the third or fourth male role.

In that case, they are not bad.

But who doesn't want to climb up?
Who doesn’t want to play the male lead?

But the plate is so big, and some people are on the first layer. They eat and choose after they have finished, and then people on the second layer have the chance to choose.

As for Meng Da and Shen Zhong, they are fifth- or sixth-level artists. They have no choice but to eat whatever is available.

I have already made it to 40+, and basically my chances of making it to 50+ are probably slim.

But look at Lin Xing, he is only in his 30s but he is already a first-tier artist, and he is firmly in the first tier.

I can't accept it.

Lin Xing naturally didn't know these things. In his current position, he no longer cared what others thought of him.

Sometimes, a person's good attitude actually depends on your status.

Just like many big names in the entertainment industry, let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Zheng Zhou. Why can he be so calm and Buddhist when facing people saying that he is greasy, pretending, or even some teasing and mocking him?

Isn’t it because Zheng Zhou has already achieved success and fame?

Many times, Lin Xing actually hates some people who try to create a relaxed persona.

Stop talking nonsense, the reason why many artists in the entertainment industry are relaxed is simply because they have money.

Why do people say that red energy nourishes people? ?
The principle is the same.

After returning home, Lin Xing first took a look at Tang Zhong's script. He had to say that the script written by Tang Zhong was quite good, both in terms of the plot and the development.

You know, when "Love Is Not Easy" was first aired, many people were saying that having incorrect values ​​was wrong, because everyone had seen too many shows with incorrect values, and they wanted to see something truly realistic.

This script is like that.

And to be honest, it's a bit bloody.

The script actually has three male protagonists, and the women seem to be the ones driving the development of the plot. There are green tea girls, pure little white rabbits, those who want to be rich, those who only talk about sex but not love, those who just want to kill the father and keep the son, and so on.

This drama is not about pure love.

This kind of drama is definitely discussed, but Lin Xing does not want to participate in it because he feels that there is not much room for him to perform.

The character he plays is actually a stuffy otaku, which is another type of loser.

It's not that it's repetitive, it's just so easy to act.

For this reason, Lin Xing decided to decline.

The next day, Lin Xing first attended an event, and then at noon he met with Zheng Zhou and Tang Zhong in person, saying that he thought the drama was good, but not suitable for him.

Anyway, I declined.

Zheng Zhou and Tang Zhong didn't say anything. Lin Xing's attitude was quite good. Besides, this was a two-way choice.

How can you not be disliked?
