This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Lin Xing stayed in the imperial capital for three days, and he was extremely busy during these three days. On the one hand, as Ding Chunling said, he needed to participate in some activities.

You should know that there are actually some advertisements in "Parallel Cohabitation" this time, and two companies have made great efforts in these advertisements.

One is [Diying Watches] and the other is [Dima Tram].

Both of these endorsements were chosen by Lin Xing when his brand had not really taken off. Whether it was [Diying Watches] or [Dima Electric Vehicles], they were both successful bets placed by Lin Xing.

Even when they bet on Lin Xing, many people thought it was a bad move. After all, Lin Xing had just become popular at that time, especially during the period of "Dima Tram". Lin Xing returned to the public eye with "Let's Farm".

The results of it? ?

Now, who wouldn’t say that [Dima Tram] has a unique vision? ?

Moreover, over the years, Lin Xing is really not like those other spokespersons who only make money. On the contrary, Lin Xing often selflessly helps promote [Dima Tram].

Of course, [Dima Tram] has always been doing charity and poverty alleviation, and has even cooperated with Lin Xing several times.

As a result, compared with other trams, the reputation and popularity of [Dima Tram] have skyrocketed.

You have to know that sometimes asking for endorsements is also a technical job.

Some companies will invite everyone to boycott if they ask for endorsements. After all, under the current extreme confrontation, anything can happen.

But it was different when [Dima Tram] invited Lin Xing. Lin Xing was very popular among the public, and even boosted the sales of [Dima Tram] a lot.

What’s more important is that Lin Xingzhen has been doing his best to be a good spokesperson in the past few years, and no matter how much money other competitors offered, they failed to poach Lin Xing.

As I said, one must be kind.

Lin Xing does not want to choose endorsements just for the money. If he does so, his reputation will collapse sooner or later.

He is not short of money, or he is not the kind of artist who only wants to make money and does everything for the sake of money.

Even Lin Xing rarely does live broadcasts. Look at how many so-called acting talents and veteran actors are selling fake goods live? ?
There is no way, because it is really too much.

Think about it, even a second or third tier artist would be given so much, let alone Lin Xing.

But Lin Xing declined them all.

In fact, endorsements are often exclusive. For example, if Lin Xing endorses the Dima Tram, then he definitely cannot endorse other trams.

Similarly, since Lin Xing is the spokesperson for [Diying Watches], it is impossible for him to endorse other watches.

You should know that [Diying watches] are actually mid-to-high-end watches. There are many truly luxury high-end watches, which are more in line with Lin Xing's identity.

It was precisely because of this that Ding Chunling had actually asked Lin Xing. After all, the endorsement contract she had signed with [Diying Watches] was for three years, and she could definitely take a further step after the endorsement ended.

However, on the one hand, the cooperation between [Diying Watch] and Lin Xing was quite pleasant, and on the other hand, the conditions offered by [Diying Watch] in the future were also good. In this case, I will not be picky.

In this way, whether it is [Dima Electric Vehicle] or [Diying Watch], the endorsements of these two companies are tied to Lin Xing.

It is extremely difficult to find a qualified and appealing one with good reputation and popularity among passers-by. For this reason, [Dima Electric Vehicle] and [Diying Watches] do offer a lot.

Not only that, Lin Xing actually likes to cooperate with the two companies. Firstly, both companies have a strong sense of corporate social responsibility, and secondly, these two companies basically support Lin Xing.

Take the "Parallel Cohabitation" for example, whether it is [Dima Electric Vehicle] or [Diying Watch], both companies directly spent tens of millions on advertising fees.

In other words, "Parallel Cohabitation" has actually made back its investment just by relying on advertising fees.

Of course, this is only the case with Lin Xing, otherwise no one else would be able to achieve such an effect.

After all, we are not stupid, and no one's money comes from the wind.

To be honest, the two companies, [Dima Electric Vehicle] and [Diying Watch], didn’t care about how good the movie was at all, they only cared about Lin Xing as a person.

"Brother Xing, do you think this is okay?"

In Zu Ming's studio, Zu Lan said to Lin Xing: "We have edited a one-minute short film, all in accordance with what you said, to give everyone a shock..."

"Row."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "You can hand it over to Meng Yan now, let her start promoting it."

Zu Lan said: "Okay, we are currently working overtime on post-production, but it may be quite tight to finish it before the preview."

Zu Ming also said: "Ah Xing, I advised you to stagger your schedule a little bit before, why did you choose such a small time slot?"

Lin Xing laughed and said, "Director Zu, it's not that I have to choose a small period. It's really either November or early to mid-December, because there are fewer blockbusters at this time. We can definitely go the long way. But if it's New Year's Eve, with the New Year's Day holiday, there will definitely be blockbusters, and we won't be able to compete then."

Yes.

I just can't compete.

If a movie wants to have good box office, it often needs a release date. A good release date can definitely make the box office go viral.

But if the release date isn’t right, then the film may even flop.

Just look at how many movies fail due to a bad release date.

"That's true, but Ah Xing, is it really okay to choose such a film at such a time???"

Even at this point, Zu Ming still was not optimistic about this movie.

To be precise, Zu Ming did not trust his own daughter.

He didn't believe it from the beginning, and he thought the script was just average after reading it. Now he watched the trailer and wondered what the hell was going on with the editing? ?
If Zu Lan hadn't said to cut it according to Lin Xing's request, Zu Ming would definitely have criticized her.

"Director Zu, the most important thing is participation."

Lin Xing didn't say anything. He just smiled and said, "We didn't have much pressure on 'Parallel Cohabitation'. This movie is mainly for fun."

Zu Ming was stunned: "For fun?"

"Yes, I like this script very much, and the movie is actually quite interesting. Among the romantic dramas that are all over the screen nowadays, this "Parallel Cohabitation" is really quite special. Didn't you read the script too?"

Lin Xing nodded gently and said, "So it's just an attempt, just like when I made the science fiction movie "Death on Earth", it was also for the sake of trying. Isn't it the same when you make a TV series? It's impossible to make something short and quick just for the market or to cater to the market?"

These words touched Zu Ming's heart.

He always felt that the audience's aesthetic taste required the joint efforts of everyone in the industry. If the audience watched bad movies every day, it was not the audience's problem, but the result of the efforts of filmmakers.

Therefore, Zu Ming looks down on those who blame the audience for the low level of appreciation when their movie fails.

Stop talking nonsense. Isn't it your responsibility to determine whether the audience's appreciation level is high enough?

It's quite funny that you can't make good films and yet you complain that the audience's appreciation level is not high enough.

For this reason, even if Zu Ming looked down on "Parallel Cohabitation", he didn't say anything more when Lin Xing said this.

"Leaving tomorrow?" Zu Ming then asked.

"Yes, the crew of Death on Earth has already started working. I should go there to shoot a segment first, and then come back for the preview of Parallel Cohabitation next month^"

Lin Xing said, "Today I came here mainly to see how the trailer is. I have been rehearsing at CCTV for the past two days, so I haven't had time to watch it."

Zu Ming said "Oh", "How was the rehearsal? Guo Haishan is quite strong, and it's not easy to take over his role..."

Zu Ming admires these sketch actors in the Spring Festival Gala very much, especially the comedy sketch actors, who are not just sketch actors.

"In terms of acting, Guo Haishan's acting skills are seriously underestimated."

Zu Ming said: "I have worked with him before. He is not just acting when playing small characters. He really is a small character. Especially when he plays farmers, migrant workers and ordinary people, he is ridiculously strong..."

When they were at Zheng Zhou's hotpot restaurant, since Lin Xing and Zheng Zhou had only a decent relationship, Lin Xing could only keep it a secret.

You have to know that in this circle, it is not the case that we are all good, but that we are all good. In most cases, it is the case that I am not good, and if anyone can stab you in the back, we will never let you go.

For this reason, Lin Xing couldn't possibly tell them that he was going to perform Guo Haishan's skit.

But with Zu Ming, there is not so much secrecy.

For this reason, when Zu Ming heard Lin Xing performing Guo Haishan's skit, he was quite worried.

Because Guo Haishan is a master in the field of skits, it's not as simple as being outshone by him, but whether you can keep up with his acting, or his jokes.

This is extremely difficult.

What's more, Guo Haishan himself is an excellent actor. Although he has not acted in many film and television dramas, each one is a classic.

"Yes."

Lin Xing agreed with what Zu Ming said.

When rehearsing with Guo Haishan, Lin Xing was actually a little uncomfortable at first. It was a kind of skit to perform on stage, and to do it in one go, and the most important thing was that there were no pauses and no calls for cut.

In fact, it is a one-shot shot.

This is extremely difficult.

What's more, Lin Xing wants to play a positive role.

That's right.

He has to act very strict and create a contrast, which is even more difficult.

Because if you are not careful, it will easily distract the audience.

Fortunately, the rehearsal went quite well.

"Now that you say that I'm looking forward to it even more."

Zu Ming became interested after listening to Lin Xing's words.

However, Lin Xing smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, there's no need to expect anything. I'm just a foil. It all depends on how Teacher Guo guides me."

This is not Lin Xing being modest, he really thinks so.

When it comes to skits or comedies, he doesn’t seem to be able to show it on the stage of “Comedy Is for Laughing”, but when he works with the master Mr. Guo, you can really feel it.

It's still a long way off.

The next day, Lin Xing returned directly to the crew of "Death on Earth".

At the same time, "Parallel Cohabitation" finally began to be promoted.

First, the official V of "Parallel Cohabitation" said: "Please look forward to the first trailer on October 10st."

"666, is there finally a trailer?"

"Wow, it looks like we can make it in time for Double Eleven?"

"I'm not worried about not being able to catch up. Since it's set, I'm sure I can catch up. I just want to see what this first trailer is about?"

……

"A domineering president's pursuit of love, although this kind of story is a bit cliché, it depends on who plays it. If Lin Xing plays it, then I will definitely support it."

"Yes, Lin Xing is really suitable for playing a domineering CEO. He hasn't played a role since "Waiting for You". He even entered the loser track. I really think Lin Xing will not play a domineering CEO again. After all, who would want to play an idol drama when they can play a serious drama?"

"In fact, if you know Lin Xing, then it's not surprising, because Lin Xing has always only read the script, he prefers to try more. I think it's probably because the script of Parallel Cohabitation is good that Lin Xing is willing to take it."

"Stop joking. Look at who is the director of Parallel Cohabitation? It's Zu Lan. Everyone knows that this is just a favor from Zu Ming."

"I think so too. Just think about why Lin Xing said he was just having fun during the interview."

……

At present, many people actually have a slightly stronger opinion of "Parallel Cohabitation" than "Death on Earth".

The reason for its strength is easy to understand. It's just that as a comedy, "Parallel Cohabitation" naturally has a basic base. What's more, Lin Xing plays the role of a domineering president, which has traffic.

But "Dead on Earth" is different. Many people think that "Dead on Earth" is a science fiction movie after all, and everyone can see what the basic foundation of science fiction movies is.

Science fiction movies are dead. First, "The Fall of Mordor" closed the door to science fiction movies, and then a few movies were afraid that the door was not big enough, so they specially nailed a few more nails.

Of course, for Lin Xing, he doesn’t think that science fiction movies are dead, because a movie will never be truly dead at any time, just like action movies are still considered dead by many people, but there are still people making action movies, and the box office is not bad.

So, in the final analysis, it still depends on how it is filmed. More importantly, whether it is an action movie or a science fiction movie, on the one hand, what is needed is change, and on the other hand, everything possible must be done to improve the quality.

Just like why does everyone think Mr. Chan should retire when he makes action movies?

Isn’t it because all the movies made by Mr. Chen are pretty bad?
Of course, everyone thinks that Mr. Chen is going to take filming seriously now that he is filming "Fire Pursuit".

But Mr. Chen is already at this age, and it is still unknown whether he can still fight.

In short, the topic of "Hotwire" is even bigger than "Dead on Earth".

This is also because Lin Xing deliberately decided not to make "Death on Earth" high-profile for the time being. After all, it was already high-profile when it started filming.

And with the release of the trailer for "Parallel Cohabitation", it is basically time for the promotion of this movie.
