This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

"Live broadcast tomorrow? No problem."

Yang Tian nodded gently: "What preparations do I need to make? Do you need to give me the questions first?"

"No need to make any preparations. This time, Zhao Fang will be broadcasting live. I specially found Zhao Fang, who is familiar to us and has the ability, to be the host..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "We don't need those so-called internet celebrities. They are actually useless for the real box office."

Yang Tian admitted this.

Look at how many movies use the "recruiting" method, or even the so-called traffic-based publicity, and then promote in the live broadcast rooms of major anchors, as if they can gain huge traffic online.

But it's of no use.

Because the box office won’t increase much at all.

Look at how many movies that were hyped up as phenomenal by marketing accounts or movie celebrities ended up not making 10 million at the box office, let alone tens of millions.

This is very normal.

In recent years, the publicity and promotion have been very diverse, each with its own unique approach, but most of the time, the box office is really a metaphysical issue.

You think this movie is going to be a huge hit, and you also think it is going to become a phenomenal movie, but in the end it flopped, and you don't even know why it flopped.

But sometimes when you don’t have much confidence in a movie, it just happens to become a hit.

Let's put it this way, why is Lin Xing the top star in art films? ?
Isn’t it because everyone is not optimistic about his two movies “Killing Ading” and “Going to Heaven”?
As a result, not only did "Killing Ading" break the 30 million mark, the box office of "Going to Heaven" exploded. It was almost as if Lin Xing single-handedly brought the box office of art films to over billion.

Let’s put it this way, before “Going to Heaven” was released, how did people view this movie at that time? ?
Basically, everyone thought that this was a funeral-themed movie and that it would be impossible for this movie to be successful. At that time, everyone thought that if it could break 100 million, it would be a sign of Lin Xing's strong box office appeal.

But who could have thought of it? ?

The box office of the movie "Going to Heaven" of over 30 billion really attracted many people to shoot funeral-themed works.

In addition to this one starring Lin Miaoyin, which was invested by Lin Xing Studio, there are actually many other works, including big productions, online movies, and online dramas.

Even Qi Ning, who declined the director's offer for "My Years in the Funeral Home," is preparing to start filming a similar funeral-themed movie.

The reason is very simple. Because the capital recognizes Qi Ning's right to shoot this subject, Qi Ning is about to shoot his second movie which is actually closely related to the funeral theme.

Of course, he also said in an interview: "This is a brand new story, and it is mainly about human nature. I hope everyone will forget the movie "Going to Heaven" because it is a thing of the past for me."

Of course, as a director with a box office of over 30 billion, Qi Ning’s aura is extremely strong at the moment.

You know, although many people think that the high box office of "Going to Heaven" is inseparable from Lin Xing, people in the industry or more so-called knowledgeable people think that the director deserves a lot of credit for it.

In particular, Qi Ning is not only the director of "Going to Heaven", he is also the screenwriter.

So it is understandable that his second work was sought after by everyone.

In fact, Lin Xing didn't care much about this from the beginning. You know, some people are only suitable for cooperation once, and some people are only suitable for working together once.

Separation is the norm in this circle.

Not every collaboration results in the individuals becoming friends like Wei Fei, Ren Yi and Guan Peng.

To be honest, most of them are just work relationships and are colleagues.

When filming, we are all nice to each other, and during the promotion, we act as if we are so close that we can wear the same pants. But when the promotion period is over, if not to say we will never have any contact with each other again, at least there will be no relationship before the next cooperation.

This is the norm.

As for the so-called ancient idol dramas or other dramas, the so-called CP is nothing more than artificially created.

But there is no way, most of the time people just like to ship this kind of thing, and because of this, basically every time there is a variety of ancient costume dramas or other idols, and even now some middle-aged dramas will make people ship CPs.

Because the more you knock, the more lively it becomes.

Just like this time with "Parallel Cohabitation", Lin Xing and Yang Tian were basically planning to promote it in the same way, but Lin Xing declined.

Because he thinks this is a double-edged sword, and more importantly, he thinks it is unnecessary.

At the moment, people are basically not supporting each other, but discussing Lin Xing’s transformation.

You know, to be honest, everyone thought that Lin Xing's transformation was a bit off track at the beginning.

You turn an art film into a science fiction film, and then make a comedy in the middle. This is really completely incomprehensible to me. What is Lin Xing thinking? ?

But in recent days, as the trailers of "Parallel Cohabitation" were gradually released, everyone discovered that this movie is also a science fiction movie.

Many people don’t understand why Lin Xing must transform into a science fiction movie? ?
Many people think that Lin Xing doesn’t really think he has cheats?

Or if he can increase the box office with art films, then he can also increase the box office with science fiction films? ?
Really thinking too much.

Others may not understand what kind of market science fiction movies are in, but as an industry insider, don’t you understand? ?

Among the current film genres, science fiction movies are almost not as good as kung fu movies.

How can you, Lin Xing, make science fiction movies big and strong?
Many people think that Lin Xing is just being arrogant, and of course more people think that Lin Xing has the capital to be arrogant.

"If you were Lin Xing, if your three art films had box office revenues approaching 60 billion, and if you had a friend who unconditionally invested in you, you would also be arrogant."

This is exactly the attitude of many people.

Besides, it seems that "Parallel Cohabitation" has released a total of five trailers so far, and the expectations for these five trailers are quite high.

At least everyone wants to see Lin Xing play a domineering CEO, and also wants to know how Lin Xing pursues love since it is a parallel universe???
In short, everyone now has deeper expectations for this movie.

This kind of expectation is what publicity and promotion needs.

If people have no interest in a movie after watching the trailer, then the movie can be directly discarded.

Many times, as promoters and distributors, they are not afraid of being scolded, what they are really afraid of is the lack of discussion.

That's exactly why, when "Parallel Cohabitation" was discussed by more and more people, Meng Yan thought it was pretty good, whether it was good or bad.

At least it represents heat.

Of course, with Lin Xing and Yang Tian, ​​how could it lack popularity? ? ?
First of all, Lin Xing's reputation is obvious to all. At least many people think that the quality of works in which Lin Xing participates is guaranteed.

Secondly, Yang Tian has indeed become a poison because all the TV series she starred in have flopped and the movies are also hard to describe, so everyone is really worried about Yang Tian's performance in "Parallel Cohabitation".

Now many people are looking forward to the question: "Who has a tougher life, Lin Xing or Yang Tian?"

Was it Lin Xing who brought Yang Tian to the sky?
Or did Yang Tian poison Lin Xing to death?
How can this be a low-profile topic?

As for tomorrow's live broadcast, it has already started warming up.

Zhao Fang can be said to be quite happy. What she needs most now is popularity. Isn’t popularity what is lacking in many programs? ?

At present, everything is based on popularity, and it is for this reason that Zhao Fang directly received some information about "Parallel Cohabitation".

She must have these materials, and then sort out the questions that Meng Yan asked her to ask tomorrow as soon as possible, and then broadcast live. At the same time, Zhao Fang also sent a message to Lin Xing.

"Sister Fang, I'm talking about you."

Lin Xing called Zhao Fang as soon as he received her message. He smiled and said, "I'm with Yang Tian right now. I was thinking of meeting you again tomorrow at noon. If you have nothing to do at this time, why don't you come over? Can the three of us meet?"

"Okay, send me a location..."

Zhao Fang spoke quickly upon hearing this.

So half an hour later, Zhao Fang met with Lin Xing and Yang Tian.

They were all acquaintances, and Zhao Fang had interviewed Yang Tian several times before, so they just exchanged some simple pleasantries and got straight to the point.

“No need for advance rehearsal…”

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said, "Let's do it as we always do before. We'll just keep it simple, do an impromptu interview, and talk about whatever comes to mind, but as long as it revolves around the movie 'Parallel Cohabitation', it'll be fine."

Zhao Fang then brought up the question Meng Yan was going to ask: "Ah Xing, this is the question Meng Yan sent me..."

"That's nothing."

Lin Xing took it, glanced at it and said, "What I mean is that we should focus on the movie as much as possible, and at the same time see what issues everyone is most concerned about..."

As he spoke, Lin Xing directly opened his Weibo account: "Tomorrow at 2pm I will be doing a live broadcast with @杨田@赵芳, mainly to talk about the upcoming movie, and Zhao Fang will be the host. If you have any questions, you can tag Zhao Fang."

After posting this Weibo, Lin Xing took a photo of the three of them.

This immediately exploded on Weibo.

"Damn, this Lin Xing actually drank?"

"No, what kind of combination is this? Why is Lin Xing drinking with Yang Tian and Zhao Fang?"

"It's normal to drink, but I didn't expect that Lin Xing would be so Buddhist when "Parallel Cohabitation" is about to be released."

……

Many people were surprised by this Weibo post.

"No, I think Lin Xing is a real live person in the domestic entertainment industry. Look at his selfies, they are real, without any filters."

“Haha, it’s really a selfie shot right up to the face, but you know what, I think it’s a pretty good shot.”

"Indeed, Lin Xing, this wasn't taken by a straight guy. I think the selfie is pretty good."

……

Many people seemed to have lost focus at this time. They were no longer talking about Lin Xing's live broadcast. Instead, they were talking about why Lin Xing really released the photo without retouching it? ?

But even with this close-up shot, Lin Xing is still very handsome. And unlike those handsome guys with filters, Lin Xing is truly handsome in a healthy and normal way.

Apart from that, Yang Tian’s appearance is still very good, and Zhao Fang also looks really good as a host.

Then everyone in the comment section was talking about how interesting this combination was.

Zhao Fang also reposted this Weibo post and said: "Do you have any questions? I will help you ask tomorrow."

Yang Tian forwarded the message and said, "Let's have a good chat this time."

Just like that, with the reposting of Zhao Fang and Yang Tian, ​​and the so-called interaction or memes between the leading actors of "Parallel Cohabitation",

For example, the official account of "Parallel Cohabitation" directly tagged Lin Fang and asked: "I would like to ask what kind of person Lin Xing thinks Lin Ying is?"

Not to mention the others.

Some of the questions were quite sharp, such as, Lin Xing, why did you choose to make a science fiction movie like "Parallel Cohabitation"? ?

I also asked Lin Xing if this movie flopped at the box office, would it affect his subsequent choices???
Someone also asked Lin Xing what his box office expectations were? ?

Everyone asks all kinds of questions, and hopes to be able to ask them during the live broadcast.

And so, the next day, at 5 pm on the 2th, the live broadcast officially began.

It’s really a very relaxed live broadcast.

Lin Xing, Zhao Fang and Yang Tian sat together, with a poster of "Parallel Cohabitation" behind them.

The three of them were drinking tea together.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Xing, and I'm very happy to meet you all in this live broadcast format."

"Hello everyone, I am Yang Tian, ​​and I play Lei Xiaozhao in "Parallel Cohabitation."

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhao Fang, and I'm mainly responsible for interviewing these two people."

……

This opening statement was a bit formal, and then Lin Xing laughed: "I said we're just chatting casually, let's not be so formal."

"Have some tea first..."

As Lin Xing spoke, he poured a cup of tea for the two people and said while looking at the camera: "Then let's start the live broadcast. Sister Fang, how many questions have you collected?"

Zhao Fang took out a piece of paper and said, "There are 20 questions in total. These 20 questions are what everyone wants to know the most and are also the most discussed."

“20 questions are so many??”

Lin Xing was a little surprised: "Didn't you just say in private that there were 10 questions?"

"It was 10, but then I thought it was a rare opportunity to broadcast live, so I added 10 more."

Zhao Fang looked at the camera and said, "If you have any questions, you can just say it in the barrage. I will try my best to ask Lin Xing and Yang Tian."

Just like that, the live broadcast officially began as a joke.

"In fact, we should call Zulan over..."

Lin Xing also laughed when he heard Zhao Fang's first question: "Actually, this has nothing to do with Director Zu Ming..."

"Ah? Is that so??"

Zhao Fang was a little surprised.

Even Yang Tian who was standing by was a little surprised. She had met Zu Ming during the filming and only knew that Zu Ming seemed to look down on Zu Lan, but she didn't know that Zu Ming actually rejected Zu Lan on behalf of Lin Xing.
