This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

What comes out on paper is ultimately shallow.

To be honest, even though Sun Feng was fully aware of the difficulties, he still encountered many problems during the filming.

After all, it was his first time shooting a science fiction movie, and everyone’s standards were different.

If you just want to make a decent movie, there's no need to go to great lengths.

But we have so many people, and we have gathered such a good lineup. We have even invited so many professionals to be consultants, and we also have such trustworthy investors.

To be honest, Sun Feng felt that if he couldn't shoot it well, it would be a waste of his life and he would even be sorry for the cast.

To this end, we strive for perfection in every scene we shoot.

At the same time, the script was being revised and the progress was being adjusted every day. Sun Feng not only had to shoot his own group, he also needed to keep an eye on the other two groups.

Sun Feng even often only slept for 4 hours on the set.

Lin Xing did advise Sun Feng that the body is the capital of revolution, so don't risk your life by making a movie.

However, Sun Feng said that he really didn't feel tired.

People's physiques are different. If Lin Xing doesn't get enough sleep, he will feel weak all over and even feel listless in doing anything.

But Sun Feng is different. Even if he only sleeps 4 hours a day, he is still very excited every day, and his energy is full.

This may be because Sun Feng knows that he only has this one chance in his life, a chance to realize his dream.

People, when opportunities come, you must seize them.

To this end, Sun Feng is adjusting the progress every day, and he is also looking at the filming materials.

You have to know that although Lin Xing told Sun Feng that they would not rush the release date or work on "Death on Earth", they would strive for perfection.

But Sun Feng was anxious, and not only Sun Feng, but others were also anxious.

Just like today when everyone knew that "Death on Earth" was going to be filmed 123, everyone said that this movie was extremely risky.

For this reason, Sun Feng and other people all worked together to shoot the photos as early as possible.

After all, with so many actors, who can guarantee that any one of them will suddenly have a bad reputation? ?
For this reason, the movie has to be made as early as possible and then finished as soon as possible before the actors’ reputations fail.

At the same time, during the filming, some young actors have to join the group for training. In addition to training, their three meals a day are also various nutritious meals to ensure their health.

More importantly, there is no hierarchy in the crew of "Death on Earth" like in other crews. Even the biggest names like Wang Ruo'an and Zhu Biaohai mingle with the masses. Who would dare to use a big name? ?

Everyone on the crew has only one goal, which is to make a good movie and release it as soon as possible.

As for why the movie is divided into five parts?
This was naturally what Sun Feng had anticipated in advance. He revised the script with many screenwriters every day and looked at many scenes based on the script.

The result is that the length of "Death on Earth 1" may even reach 4 hours because there is so much to shoot.

In that case, let's just divide it into two parts.

Apart from "Dead on Earth 1", "Dead on Earth 3" is actually similar.

As for "Dead on Earth 2", it may not need to be divided into two parts, but it's hard to say.

Again, before filming begins, everything is possible.

For this reason, Lin Xing did not say too much. At the roadshow, he only said that "Death on Earth" will be released in three parts.

But then each of these three parts will be divided into upper and lower parts, which is actually reasonable, isn’t it? ?
"This is the way things are. Everything is actually unknown now."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "But overall the crew's filming went smoothly, so we have to wait until the filming is finished before we can really decide how many parts to divide it into."

At this time, Situ Hui looked at Lin Xing with some admiration and said, "Ah Xing, the production cost has increased exponentially."

"There's no other way. Many times, some things can't be solved with money, but many times, they really can be solved with money."

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "This is reality. Besides, filming Death on Earth is burning money at a rapid pace."

"But according to what you said, Xing, is 10 billion enough for Death on Earth?"

Situ Hui was worried about Lin Xing first: "If the production cost of Death on Earth alone is 10 billion, plus the cost of publicity, if you really divide it into 5 parts, each of them may not be able to make back the cost even if it makes 10 billion at the box office..."

Situ Hui really did say this because she considered Lin Xing her own talent.

She thought that Lin Xing had indeed made a lot of money in recent years, but it was not worth it to spend all the money on such a science fiction movie.

Why bother? ?

It's just a movie, why take it so seriously???

What's more, Situ Hui sincerely felt that Lin Xing should take advantage of his reputation and popularity now and shoot what he is good at as soon as possible.

"Axing, I know you want to make a good film, but I think this is too risky."

Situ Hui advised again.

"Sister Hui, how can you do things without taking risks?"

Lin Xing didn't really care, because for Lin Xing, there was no such thing as stability in this world? ?
It feels good to make money, but you still have to pay it back later.

It is difficult to accumulate word of mouth, but it is very easy to consume it.

Take Liu Jing for example, he has acted in too many bad movies before, and the audience chose to abandon the movies he starred in independently.

If it weren't for "Sunspots" that saved Liu Jing, it can be said that Liu Jing would never be able to sit at the table again.

Actors who frequently participate in variety shows and act in bad movies will ultimately lose not only the audience's trust but also their own talents.

Being an actor is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward, you will fall behind.

If Lin Xing really just wanted to make money, what couldn't he do?
Considering his current status, he would have to make tens of millions just to participate in a variety show.

It’s just that Lin Xing just wanted to put on a good show.

For this reason, Lin Xing expressed his understanding and gratitude for Situ Hui's words, but he had his own arrangements.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Li Jing also came.

"Ah Xing, are you really not going to make a cameo appearance?"

After seeing Lin Xing, Li Jing asked again: "It's just a few scenes. After all, the movie version of "Jin Yi Wei" is also a big movie. It's not shameful for you to make a cameo appearance. Let's make this movie together..."

"never mind."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, "Director Li, I really don't want to repeat myself. We can work together again if we have the chance in the future."

"Row."

Li Jing didn't say anything more.

Next, the three protagonists of "The King's Guards", Xie Long, Meng Fei, and Zhang Ming, also arrived. In addition, there were also Meng Yan, Shen Lin, Niu Xiaofeng, Zhou Hai and others.

Anyway, since it was a celebration party for "The King's Guards", most of the main actors were able to attend.

Because of the popularity of the online drama "The King's Guards", the three leading actors Xie Long, Meng Fei and Zhang Ming all reaped the benefits.

But to be honest, the benefits they got were not as much as those of veteran actors Zhou Hai and Niu Xiaofeng.

Not only that, this time the movie version of "The King's Guards" also lets Zhou Hai continue to play the leader of the Donglin Party, and Niu Xiaofeng continues to play Wei Zhongxian.

Obviously, both of them are supporting roles, so they don't affect the whole movie.

As for the leading actors, it is impossible for Xie Long, Meng Fei and Zhang Ming to play the leading roles.

And because they were worried about the audience's liking for these three people, they didn't even dare to let them play other roles.

Therefore, although Xie Long, Meng Fei, and Zhang Ming have successfully become popular with "Jin Yi Wei", they have not reaped too much benefits. This is the reality of this circle.

There is never a shortage of people picking the fruit.

"What are you busy with lately?"

Lin Xing looked at the three people and asked.

Xie Long respected Lin Xing very much. He hurriedly said, "Brother Xing, I've been at Director Wei's place recently..."

"Oh??"

Lin Xing was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized: "Is it that police and gangster movie?"

"Yes, Director Wei watched my performance and thought I was good..."

Xie Long explained to Lin Xing: "And Director Li also recommended me."

"That's pretty good. Have you finished filming your scenes?"

Lin Xing asked Xie Long.

Xie Long smiled bitterly and said, "Not yet. The crew is currently on hold..."

"The crew is shut down?"

Lin Xing has never heard of it.

Meng Fei on the side said: "I heard about it too. It is said that Director Wei got mad..."

"No, what's going on???"

Lin Xing really didn’t quite understand.

"Actually, this is not a secret. It's just that Yuan Yu is dissatisfied with Director Wei's changes to the script..."

Xie Long said: "You know, Yuan Yu is considered to be Chen Sheng's successor. He has been taking on more serious dramas, but this time Director Wei let him play a villain..."

Li Jing also knew about this because he had specifically advised Yuan Yu about it.

Yuan Yu thought that she was deceived by Wei Lu, because from the beginning this was actually a movie with two male protagonists, and both of them were decent.

But later, Wei Lu suddenly felt that if the gangster in the police and gangster film did not have enough roles, or could not hold up the role, then the whole show might be ruined.

So at the beginning the content of this play was [Two heroes catch a thief], but later on in the filming it was changed to [Two heroes break up].

It can even be said that both of them were once good policemen and brothers, but the latter one started to turn bad, and he turned bad because he was betrayed.

In this way, the script is much more reasonable.

In order to make the villain more reasonable, Wei Lu even added a lot of roles for Yuan Yu.

This is a villain with flesh and blood.

In Wei Lu's opinion, although he is not a decent person, he is also one of the absolute protagonists.

This scene is still about two heroes, but it is a fight between two heroes.

But Yuan Yu refused to do it.

He even thought why should I be a villain???
You let another person be the villain? ?

But in Wei Lu's opinion, Yuan Yu actually has the energy to play a villain, and she thinks Yuan Yu can play the role well.

Then, the matter became a matter of controversy.

"Actually, I can understand Yuan Yu."

Li Jing sighed and said, "He has always claimed to be Mr. Chen's successor, and his image is quite positive, so he definitely doesn't want to play a villain."

Situ Hui nodded gently: "Yes, after all, it is a cold winter for the film and television industry. If Yuan Yu really starts to play a villain, what if more people ask him to play a villain in the future???"

People will definitely consider their own interests first.

If you put yourself in Yuan Yu's shoes, I came here to play the leading male role, but I ended up becoming the villain.

Who can bear this?
Because of this incident, the crew was forced to shut down.

After all, Yuan Yu’s role is too important, and if he just goes on strike then the production will have to shut down as well.

"So is this the way the crew is going to pull it now?"

Lin Xing asked with some confusion.

"There's nothing we can do. The main reason is that Wei Lu is so angry that she won't give in to anyone. As for Yuan Yu, she won't back down either. So now we're at a stalemate."

Li Jing smiled bitterly and said, "This is actually what we fear when filming. It's easy to get into trouble when we meet big names. After all, small actors have to accept whatever changes you make to the script, but big names are generally very difficult to change."

After chatting for a few more sentences, everyone started talking about the road ahead.

Li Jing and Situ Hui are going to be in the movie version of "The King's Guards", while Xie Long is now waiting to hear about Wei Lu's crew.

Zhou Hai and Niu Xiaofeng are also in the movie version of "The King's Guards".

Meng Yan is currently filming another online movie, playing the leading female role, which can be considered a slight upgrade.

As for Shen Qi, he is also in the movie version of "The King's Guards".

Then some other actors of "The King's Guards", like He Fan, Wang Bo and others, basically continued to be in the movie version of "The King's Guards".

Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have come together.

"My role in Death on Earth isn't that big..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "When we were doing the [script discussion], I basically deleted nearly one-third of the scenes because I felt that some of them were not really necessary..."

"What??"

Li Jing was a little surprised: "So, Xing, you are not the protagonist?"

"He is the protagonist, but most of the characters are side stories and are different..."

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "This is a group portrait drama. The reason why we made multiple episodes is that we want to show it as much as possible..."

Everyone really admires Lin Xing.

You know, there are very few people like Lin Xing who take the initiative to reduce their roles.

When they had almost finished drinking, Li Jing went on stage and said a few words, and Situ Hui also said a few words at the same time.

Finally, it was Lin Xing's turn.

"Let's all work hard together. Actually, the reason why I chose this day for the celebration banquet is because Penguin Video just settled the money two days ago, and I thought everyone should get a share..."

Lin Xing said at this time.

And you have to know that in fact, no one present knew why Lin Xing did this.

Putting aside other things, the money originally belonged to Lin Xing, and they did not expect Lin Xing to give them a red envelope because they really could not reach it.

The result was unexpected.

Li Jing and Situ Hui were a little confused when they saw the red envelopes Lin Xing gave them.
