Chapter 167: Drifting Fans, Just Be a Human Being (Asking for Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Lin Xing looked at the woman in front of him in shock for two seconds, and then said hurriedly: "Hello, Mr. Hong."

The person in front of her was none other than Hong Jingjing from the TV series production department of Yiying Group. At the celebration banquet of "Portrait of a Murderer", Wei Fei specially took Lin Xing and introduced her to Hong Jingjing.

"Are you here to audition??"

Hong Jingjing looked a little strange.

"Yes, I'm here to audition for the crew of "The Power of Man"..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "I have already made an appointment with them."

Looking at Lin Xing, Hong Jingjing asked: "Are you auditioning for the role of the prince?"

"Yes, it's the role of the prince."

Lin Xing nodded slightly.

"This character..."

Hong Jingjing thought for a while, then whispered to Lin Xing: "Don't have too much hope."

"Thank you, Mr. Hong."

Lin Xing understood instantly. He smiled and said, "I understand."

This is not a place for small talk, so Hong Jingjing didn't say much, but just said that we would talk again when we have the opportunity.

Everyone is smart, and Lin Xing almost understood it after Hong Jingjing hinted.

Later, the staff came to lead Lin Xing to audition.

From the beginning to the end, both the staff and the on-site casting director and assistant screenwriter were very polite to Lin Xing. After trying out a scene, he asked Lin Xing to go back and wait for notification.

In less than 10 minutes, Lin Xing only acted for a short period and then it was over.

After leaving the hotel, Lin Xing told Sister Dao about the situation. Sister Dao said helplessly on the other end of the phone: "Sure enough, it is true that what the industry said about this role has already been confirmed, but because this cake is so good. , so I want to give it a try.”

What if? ?

Just because of this emergency, many actors came to audition.

You must know that the drama "Strike" has been coveted by countless people during the preparation stage. It is such a big IP, and the production company of this drama is Yiying.

There is a saying in the industry that if a film is produced by Art Film, it must be a high-quality product.

Of course, this statement is actually promoted by Yiying itself. The TV series produced by Yiying are indeed very strong, and several TV series are directly phenomenal works.

However, it is not that the dramas produced by Yiying are free of criticism, and the dramas that are popular are also silent, and no one even discusses them.

Under such a situation, don't we just remember that Art Film only produces high-quality products? ?

"Axing, where are you??"

Half an hour later, Lin Xing received a call from Wei Fei on his way back.

"Sister Fei, I'm getting ready to go home."

Lin Xing asked: "Have you returned to the imperial capital?"

"Not yet, I estimate I won't be back until next month..."

Wei Fei said: "I just heard from Jingjing that I met you, and I also heard that you went to audition for "The Power of Man"..."

Okay.

Hong Jingjing was really best friends with Wei Fei. Within an hour, Wei Fei knew it.

"You can't play the role of prince. This is for Niu Xiang..."

Wei Fei said: "I asked Jingjing. Jingjing has nothing to do, but are you interested in the other character in "The King of Powers", King Wu?"

If the prince is the second male, then the King of Wu is the fourth male.

This character has very few roles. To put it bluntly, he is considered a standout at most.

Lin Xing shook his head and said: "Thank you, Sister Fei, but there is no room for performance in that role, so forget it."

"Well? Have you seen it?"

Wei Fei asked in surprise.

Lin Xing laughed: "Sister Fei, there are not many words in the original work of "Strike". After I knew that I was going to audition yesterday, I read it in one afternoon. If I had said that before, maybe I would have accepted Wu Wang's role, but now..."

At this point, Lin Xing paused: "It's not necessary."

"really."

Wei Fei said: "I think it's condescending for you to play the second male lead. You have to know that you already have two popular dramas in your hands."

"Sister Fei, you are joking."

Lin Xing is still aware of it: "There is still a certain distance between online dramas and TV dramas now, let alone a big production like "The Power of Man"."

"It's okay, Ah Xing, "The Power" is not the only big production on the market. What's more, it's their loss if they don't use you..."

Wei Fei shook her head and said, "Even Niu Xiang's acting skills can't keep up with yours."

After a few more chats, Wei Fei indeed regarded Lin Xing as her younger brother, and it was obvious that she was really straight-tempered.

In a previous interview, Wei Fei said that what she hates most are the kind of popular artists who have no acting skills but only hype.

Now I learned that Niu Xiang was cast in the drama "The Power of Man". This originally had nothing to do with Wei Fei, but Nima actually used Lin Xing as a stepping stone, which made Wei Fei unhappy.

Compared to Wei Fei, Lin Xing is actually quite indifferent.

In this industry, there are many actors and actresses, and there are many differences.

Just like Dong Xia, she has a sponsor, so she can do whatever she wants.

The same goes for top players like Chu Chen and Niu Xiang. As the first generation of top players, the resources behind them are already strong. Now, coupled with the collapse of other top players, they are now even more frantically grabbing resources.

Lin Xing is not qualified to grab these dropped resources, businesses, etc. at present.

Just like after Qi Shuai collapsed, his resources were basically robbed by people like Chu Chen and Niu Xiang.

Before, Qi Shuai might have wanted to compete for the role of the prince in "The Power of the Heart". After all, the second male lead does not need to carry the ratings, and this is a serious drama. As long as he participates in the drama, he can win honors.

Not to mention that such a big pie does not need to consider the reasons for the failure.

As long as he performs normally, plus the original character of the prince is easier to attract fans, this is a good character that can help the actor add, so that the actor's acting skills can be improved from 5 points to 7 points.

So how could the capital behind the traffic artists miss this opportunity? ?

Besides, the core of "The Power of the Heart" is revenge, and the most exciting part of the whole drama is the battle for the throne among the ten princes.

In this kind of group drama, the ten princes are all handsome and charming. In this way, wouldn't it be a natural thing to stuff young and handsome actors into it? ?

Lin Xing thinks that there is no room for the role of King Wu, but other traffic artists don't think so.

It's better if there is no room for development.

If there is room for development, we young and handsome actors won't do it.

So Lin Xing didn't want this role, but other young actors thought it was too suitable.

After all, young actors are most afraid of being able to perform, because they don't have much to perform, and most of them can only play themselves.

After returning to the company, Sister Dao apologized: "Axing, this matter is my fault. I am a little eager to achieve success, blindly confident, optimistic..."

"Stop, Sister Dao, where are you practicing idiom stories?"

Lin Xing interrupted Sister Dao and said: "As an actor, if you encounter a good script, you have to try it even if you know it will be rejected. If I didn't have this determination at the beginning, I wouldn't have auditioned for "Sweeping Black Waves."

This is the truth.

Many actors, especially those who have no capital, no sponsors, and are still in the lower or even middle stream, are often the ones who are chosen.

Even many upper-level actors may lose many opportunities when their dramas fail.

Fu Shu, who was once one of the four most popular actors, was suppressed in "The Way of Power" directed by Zu Ming. It was very difficult for him to play the leading role in a good drama.

The acting industry is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind.

After all, not every actor has a good sponsor.

For this reason, Lin Xing didn't think it was unacceptable to be rejected in the audition for "The Power of the Heart"?

Moreover, he couldn't be as lucky as in "Sweeping Black Waves" every time. For a director like Zu Ming, he couldn't accept the control of capital. He only cared about the acting skills of the actors, so he was willing to use Lin Xing.

But "The Power of the Heart" was obviously another matter.

According to Wei Fei, the role of the prince in "The Power of the Heart" was given to Niu Xiang from the beginning to the end, just as Qi Bing had been selected to play Zhou Bo in "Sweeping Black Waves".

It's just that this time, Lin Xing didn't have such good luck to get the role of the prince.

This is normal.

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Everyone praises me as a protagonist with cheats, but if I think so myself, then I will soon be out of fashion for the second time."

On this point, Lin Xing is still sober enough.

At present, because of the phenomenal work of "Bad Kids", Lin Xing is almost praised to be a fairy, and all kinds of "disfiguring acting skills" are used.

Not only that, whether Lin Xing is in the crew or participating in activities, or even at the dinner table with Ren Yi and others, basically all kinds of praises are given to Lin Xing.

During the stage of "Picture Hunting for the Murderer", Ren Yi would persuade Lin Xing, especially for Lin Xing's continued filming of "Bad Kids" web drama, he expressed considerable incomprehension.

But who would have thought that "Bad Kids" would be even more popular than "Picture Hunting for the Murderer".

Even now, the score of "Bad Kids" is a little higher than "Sweeping Black Waves".

You say, what else can Ren Yi give Lin Xing? ?

Everyone thinks that Lin Xing's choice is right. Lin Xing has his own persistence. How clear-headed Lin Xing is, how awesome Lin Xing is, how he has opened his mouth, and how his star luck explodes.

Others can praise Lin Xing for these, but Lin Xing can't really take it to heart.

Think about why Fu Shu was greasy in the first place? Why was he called the greasy king?

It's because he was surrounded by flattery, and there was not even a little bad criticism, and then Fu Shu was always in it without knowing it, and finally became the greasy king in everyone's mouth step by step.

So Lin Xing thought about it before the filming of "Bad Kids" was finished, that is, he needed to stop after the filming was finished.

As Ren Yi and others said, seamless entry into the group is a harm to actors, especially actors like Lin Xing who still have a lot of room for improvement in acting.

Drama comes from life, but it must also be higher than life.

Lin Xing doesn't want to be out of touch with reality when he returns to acting at this age.

Actors need to accumulate. If Lin Xing had not accumulated these ten years, he would not have been able to perform well in "Just Waiting for You", "Sweeping Black Waves", "Picture Hunting", and "Bad Kid".

Especially whether it is Guan Feng in "Picture Hunting" or Li Dongsheng in "Bad Kid", if Lin Xing had not been teaching in Dafeng Mountain for these years, he might not have understood the relationship between the characters.

Just like children, some children are kind by nature, but some children are evil by nature.

It is even more nonsense to say that children cannot lie.

At least Lin Xing had seen what some real 'evil' children deep in the mountains looked like.

Because of this, he was able to talk meaningfully with everyone about how Ding Chaoyang, Yan Cheng, and Pingping should act as children in "Evil Child", and he even made some modifications to the script.

There is a saying that goes: do good deeds and don’t worry about your future. It is precisely because of Lin Xing’s silent efforts in the past ten years and his teaching support in Dafeng Mountain that he has gradually gained more accumulation.

"Going to Dafeng Mountain?"

Sister Dao frowned and said: "Axing, "Evil Child" will end next week..."

"I know, so I stayed for a week and came back. The high school entrance examination and college entrance examination are coming soon. I went to see them."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's impossible for me to stay in Dafeng Mountain for two or three months this year. Even if I want to stay, the old principal won't agree to it."

"Well."

Sister Dao breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Lin Xing would go to Dafeng Mountain to stay for another two months, so when Lin Xing said this, Sister Dao also laughed: "Okay, you can also adjust it, "I can "Would you like to come to your house for dinner?" I have already declined them."

"Well, I also told Zhao Fang."

Lin Xingdao: "Their program is very popular, but I don't like the recording method."

In fact, it's not just Lin Xing who doesn't like it, most of the audience doesn't like it either.

Today, Friday, the second issue of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" will be updated at 12 noon.

This is often the case. Even if you watch the first episode of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner", there will be a lot of scolding, but sometimes this is also a variety show method, because the audience is like this, and the more they scold, the more they will follow.

Just like this "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner", although everyone scolded it fiercely, they also immediately followed the second issue updated at 12 noon.

Then, the guests in this episode remained the same. Luo Yi and Chen Qianmei were better this time, but Xu Fang and Liu Tian were still rude.

As for Qi Hong, he continued to be scolded.

how to say?

This time Qi Hong and Lin Xing went to the home of a young couple for dinner. The young couple were freelancers and earned income from filming short plays, and their income was not stable.

Moreover, the woman is a local, and the man is a bit like a door-to-door son-in-law. Originally, the woman's parents did not agree with this marriage, but Qi Hong couldn't help but notice that there was no discernible person at the dinner table.

Let me tell you, man, your usual income is unstable, how do you support your family?

After a while, I said that you need to find the right person to get married. After marriage, it will be unstable and difficult.

Qi Hong even used herself as an example to talk about how difficult it was for her.

This variety show is meant to capture the lives of ordinary people, but Qi Hong shows off her superiority in every aspect.

No wonder Faye Wong said after watching the second issue: "Look at Qi Hong, and then look at Lin Xing. One is a leader, but he doesn't have the mentality of a guest when he goes to other people's homes. He even regards himself as a master. Then look at Lin Xing. How did he let go of his star status, and how did he treat himself as an ordinary person and suffer in the world? How come the gap between people is so big? "

Many people even edited the two issues of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" into an 8-minute "Why Not Eat Minced Meat" video.

"I went to eat at other people's houses and picked on this one and that one. I also said that other people's careers were not good. It would be my turn to kick them out sooner."

"I feel sorry for Lin Xing. He has been helping Qi Hongyuan, but his teammates can't help him at all."

"Lin Xing is so kind. In the end, he even invited the two families to have dinner together at the revolving restaurant. The show crew's operation was really very deceptive."

…

"I want to say, can these celebrities consider the feelings of ordinary people? You are celebrities, but you go to ordinary people's homes and complain about this and that. You also say how difficult it is for you, and you even look down on ordinary people. I'm really convinced."

"Among these people, only Lin Xing is a normal person. Damn it, I just want celebrities to be human beings. Why is it so difficult??"

"After watching "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner", I became a fan of Lin Xing."

…

In the afternoon, "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" by Qi Hong became a hot search topic.

kindness.

Being scolded and trending.

Almost all of them were scolding him.

For some actors, they are not afraid of being scolded, and even some variety show stars are really happy when they are scolded, because it means that they have topics and popularity, so you see that although some variety show stars often scold them, they never Lack of programs.

But Qi Hong is not like this.

She also wants to act. She had a certain amount of popularity before, but now she has lost almost all of her popularity after participating in only two episodes of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner?"

Which crew will use her to play a leading role in the future? ?

"Sister Hong, we really can't go to this variety show."

The manager advised Qi Hong: "If we continue to participate, we..."

"Someone is trying to hack me."

Qi Hong gritted her teeth and said: "If quitting the variety show at this time will seem like we are in the wrong, I will pay attention to it if we record it next time. You can talk to the program team and let them help us clear our names..."

broker:"???"

At the same time, the popularity of "Can I Come to Your House for Dinner" surged further due to the popularity of online discussions.

After watching it, many viewers even asked seriously: "Are Qi Hong and Liu Tian really like this or did they act according to the script?"

In response, someone said: "I don't know about Qi Hong, but I believe Liu Tian doesn't have such good acting skills."

Then there was the anti-black reaction from Liu Tian's fans.

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty.

Just as "Bad Kids" was about to be aired, news about Lin Xing's audition for "Power and Strategy" was released.

Many people are still looking forward to this.

However, a marketing account said: "As far as I know, Lin Xing auditioned for the role of the prince, but he was rejected because he was too young and too tender to play the role of the prince at this age."
