This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

"Parallel Cohabitation" started its preview on November 11th and lasted until the 6th. With 10 days of previews + 5 days of official release, the box office easily exceeded 4 million yuan.

It really broke the 100 million mark easily.

"Parallel Cohabitation" is currently on roadshow in Jiangcheng.

The main creators of "My Years in the Funeral Home" also attended the roadshow, and Lin Xing also invited Feng Yun, Lao Wang and others.

Let me put it this way, the roadshow of "Parallel Cohabitation" in Jiangcheng today was actually a familiar place, as all the people who came were acquaintances of the funeral home.

It will be more natural for everyone to chat.

At the same time, there were some reporters at the scene, and naturally Lin Xing was asked about the box office after the roadshow ended.

"I feel like I've talked about the box office issue countless times."

Lin Xing said with a bit of a smile: "Why have you been asking me this question since the preview of Parallel Cohabitation? Now it's been released for 5 days and you're still asking?"

The reporter also laughed: "The main reason is that everyone feels that Parallel Cohabitation is too strong today. The box office on Sunday actually doubled, so many people want to know what you think of the doubling of the box office?"

"I've said it before, I trust the audience."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, "As long as I work hard to make my movies well, the audience will be able to feel it. If the audience still doesn't like a movie even if I work hard, then it can only be said that I am not capable enough..."

High judgment.

From the beginning to the end, whether Lin Xing was being told that "Parallel Cohabitation" had a box office flop or now when he was being told that it had a good box office, he did not have too many emotional fluctuations.

More importantly, Lin Xing did not complain about the audience.

He did not say that this was due to the audience's lack of appreciation.

It's really all thanks to the support of my peers.

You have to know that if it were other directors or actors, when their films failed, they would never admit that there was anything wrong with them and would think that everything was the director's fault.

Then, when you are successful, you think that everything is your fault. That is really a crazy attempt to steal the credit.

There are not just one or two such people in the circle, but too many.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing is admired by more people.

He doesn't shirk responsibility or take credit for other people's work. He is very good at filming and can carry a drama and has box office appeal.

Honestly speaking, who wouldn't want to work with an artist like this?
Originally, everyone thought that it was Lin Xing's turn to fail anyway, because Lin Xing's previous three art films were so strong, each one better than the last.

Well, this time Lin Xing said that he was just having fun, and this was a movie like this, everyone thought that the pre-sale was less than 300 million, and although the first day box office reached 2100 million, 2 million is actually a bit of a flop for Lin Xing, isn't it? ?
From over 30 billion to 2 million, it's obvious that this is a failure.

As for those so-called words saying that Lin Xing did not fail, for some people, this is just Lin Xing's way of saving face.

It’s simply that Lin Xing couldn’t afford to lose and the gap was too big, so he just said some comforting words to himself.

In short, Lin Xing did not refute these remarks at all.

The time for one-on-one debates has passed for him now, and there is no need for him to waste time on them.

Just as Lin Xing said before, even if these people really said that 1+1 equals 2, Lin Xing would admit that they were right.

Why waste time?

Therefore, today, during the roadshow, Lin Xing once again appealed to everyone: "I hope everyone can discuss the movie "Parallel Cohabitation", and don't discuss whether the box office is good or bad. I always think that a movie that can leave everyone with a long discussion is a good movie, otherwise what is the point of the movie box office?"

This is the truth.

Just like when the movie box office was flooding, those movies could easily make hundreds of millions of dollars, but what about now? ?
Who else remembers?
Lin Xing has never accepted scripts based on ratings or box office performance.

Take this "Parallel Cohabitation" for example, why does Zu Ming think that this script is not good? ?

Isn’t it because it’s so innovative?

In the current market, many times even a so-called time travel story will be classified as science fiction.

Don't get involved with science fiction, because it will become unfortunate.

Therefore, no one was optimistic about "Parallel Cohabitation" at the beginning, and some even thought that Lin Xing was acting in "Parallel Cohabitation" and "Death on Earth" at the same time. What else could this be but courting death? ?
But who could have imagined it? ?
The box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" really surprised everyone. What was surprising was not that it was a flop, but that it was quite good.

"Do you want to take a look at the current film market? I really think that a movie like Parallel Cohabitation that can earn 200 million is really amazing, okay?"

"Yes, in fact, I thought the movie Parallel Cohabitation was good from the beginning, because I really liked it after watching it. In fact, this box office is really a dark horse."

"Yeah, don't compare this box office with Lin Xing's previous box office. I'm just saying, who the hell can keep going like this?"

“No actor can claim that his box office revenue has always been in the billions.”

……

At this time, everyone gave thumbs up to Lin Xing's roadshow, and everyone felt that Lin Xing was quite clear.

“Respecting the audience, trusting the audience, and understanding the audience are what the creators should do, but many creators always think about educating the audience…”

After Lao Zhong's "Parallel Cohabitation" broke the 100 million mark, she once again posted a long Weibo post.

In this long Weibo post, Lao Zhong mainly praised Lin Xing. She felt that Lin Xing was always doing the right thing, which was the most rare thing.

Many times, Lao Zhong even thought that what Lin Xing did was wrong, but Lin Xing still did it.

Where is the plug-in?

To put it bluntly, it is because more and more people want to take shortcuts and more and more people are no longer down to earth.

Looking at the entertainment industry, it seems that everyone is hoping to become popular again, hoping to become famous overnight. Acting seriously is like being a fool.

Let’s not talk about traffic, isn’t it the same for artists with acting skills? ?

They are all competing for the position.

Even their fans are similar. Many fans don't want their idols to play a third role, and many times, the fans are more excited than the idols themselves.

You said that in this situation, many artists debuted as male and female lead, and they couldn't even experience life, how could they act well? ?

Look at Lin Xing again. He is willing to try and even willing to make science fiction movies. Even though many people ridiculed Lin Xing for not being able to make the movie "Parallel Cohabitation", Lin Xing was still willing to shoot it.

You can't just look at how Lin Xing succeeded, you have to look at how Lin Xing stood up against all odds.

……

"Old Zhong's words really hit the nail on the head. Damn, I'm really annoyed by those who always say that Lin Xing is cheating. That's really disrespectful to what Lin Xing did."

"Who says it's not? And I really think 'Parallel Cohabitation' is a good movie. I'm so happy that it didn't flop at the box office."

"Yes, Yang Tian's performance in "Parallel Cohabitation" was also good, which really surprised me."

"In fact, actors' performances in different dramas are different. You have to know that acting skills also depend on the script and the director's ability to teach."

……

"Lao Zhong really loves Lin Xing. Even though she doesn't agree with what Lin Xing does, she still supports Lin Xing."

"I'm not supporting him. I think Lao Zhong is also like that most of the time, he's not talking about people, but about the matter. It's just that Lin Xing has always done the right thing."

"Yes, Lao Zhong has actually been slapped in the face by Lin Xing, but Lao Zhong admitted it every time." "This is why I always think Lao Zhong is better than many big Vs. In this Weibo public opinion, you often cannot apologize. Whoever apologizes has failed."

……

Many people expressed their feelings about Lao Zhong’s Weibo post.

It's a real feeling.

On the one hand, actors really rely on promotion to become slightly famous, and luck to become very famous. Many actors don't care what kind of financial backers they have, but in the end they just can't become famous.

On the one hand, sometimes an actor really needs to be strong himself. Many actors have long forgotten how to act earnestly. Even some popular actors want to gild themselves in serious dramas, and then are ridiculed by everyone.

In short, this is why everyone admires Lin Xing.

Lin Xing became famous at a young age, and then suddenly fell out of favor, which lasted for ten years. Many people thought that it would be impossible for Lin Xing to stand up again.

However, Lin Xing is still a top star after returning after ten years of being out of fashion.

Then, the path that Lin Xing has taken step by step in the past few years was not what everyone thought it would be.

What did someone say?

Lin Xing could obviously take an easier path, but he chose the most difficult path.

But he chose this path anyway.

But if many people are asked to choose, they really don’t dare to choose.

On the one hand, there are sunk costs, and on the other hand, everyone thinks that this is the most difficult path to take, but it is prone to failure.

This is Lin Xing's success, but what if he fails? ?
But now Lin Xing is the winner, and "Parallel Cohabitation" is also a big winner.

Previously, when Lin Xing was previewing "Parallel Cohabitation", he said that he was not demanding about the box office.

Yes.

Lin Xing said that he would not force the box office. At that time, everyone seemed to think that Lin Xing was taking precautions in case the movie would flop.

As a result, the current situation reminds many people of the time when "Going to Heaven" was released.

It seemed to be the same at that time. Lin Xing said that he would not force the box office, and many people felt that Lin Xing just had no confidence in himself.

As a result, "Going to Heaven" really went to the sky, and the final box office was over 30 billion.

Now, although "Parallel Cohabitation" is far from being as powerful as "Going to Heaven", it is still maintaining a good trend.

On Monday, a working day, "Parallel Cohabitation" still earned nearly 10 million yuan at the single-day box office.

This box office forecast is once again raised.

Small schedules do have advantages.

That is, the screening schedule of "Parallel Cohabitation" has reached 40%.

no way.

There is really no one who can fight.

For this reason, "Parallel Cohabitation" is like picking a general from a group of short people, and under such circumstances, the number of screenings naturally soared further.

Many cinema chains scheduled screenings for "Parallel Cohabitation", and the attendance rates of other movies were very poor. There were even small cinemas that gave 80% of their screenings to "Parallel Cohabitation".

It's not easy for cinemas either. If there's a movie of decent quality in such a short period of time, then we should do our best to watch as much as we can.

It's better than some bad movies, at least it can make some profit for the theaters.

Now the box office forecast for "Parallel Cohabitation" has reached 6 million.

In other words, in just one day, the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" went from predicted 5 million to 6 million.

At this time, An Yifeng, who had already finished filming the movie "Fire Pursuit", was not surprised at the box office forecast of "Parallel Cohabitation".

Because she believed in Lin Xing.

As for An's mother, her expression turned a little ugly.

You should know that from the beginning, An's mother thought that the movie "Parallel Cohabitation" was a flop, and even at the premiere, An's mother thought that the movie was bound to flop.

It was such a weird atmosphere at that time.

As a result, I didn’t expect that the box office forecast of "Parallel Cohabitation" has reached 6 million.

Isn't this a silent slap in the face or what???

But when An's mother thought of the movie "Fire Pursuit", she no longer had any other emotions.

"The box office of 'Fire Pursuit' has to be guaranteed at least 30 billion, so now it's nothing more than letting Yang Tian feel a little proud. It's insignificant."

Mother An seemed to be persuading An Yifeng, but in fact she was also comforting herself.

As for An Yifeng, she didn't say anything after listening to her mother's words. She just sighed in her heart.

30 billion guaranteed.

Who dares to boast about this?

On the other hand, Yang Tian was in high spirits during the roadshow.

Bet right.

At first, Yang Tian really felt that he had lost the bet, but then he thought it was nothing, as long as he could cooperate with Lin Xing in the future.

What's more, Yang Tian was really grateful to Lin Xing. After all, not only did Lin Xing not put the blame on himself, he even kept taking the blame.

Who wouldn’t want such a partner?

In addition, if the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" exceeds 2 million, it will be considered quite successful, but it just does not provide such a big advantage for Yang Tian.

After all, Yang Tian’s previous box office record was as high as 4 million.

But who could have thought that the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" would suddenly soar?

And yesterday, Monday, a working day, the box office remained strong.

If it can maintain its performance this week, the box office of "Parallel Cohabitation" may soar further.

Do you think this is a turn of events for me?

Yang Tian even wanted to kowtow to Lin Xing.

"I have always had box office pressure. My mentality in this regard is really incomparable to Lin Xing's."

Yang Tian smiled and said, "However, Lin Xing has always advised me to be more open-minded, saying that the audience can see our efforts. Sure enough, the audience really saw it."
