Chapter 237 Whoever Spends Money Is the Boss

"Xin Hui, why are you here??"

Lin Xing was indeed a little surprised.

He had just finished filming when Xin Hui came. Originally, Lin Xing wanted to call Xin Hui today.

After all, Xin Hui said on the 1st that he would celebrate the success of the game "Secret Lurker", but Lin Xing asked him to wait a moment, and everything was still focused on "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Yesterday, after the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" was completed, Lin Xing actually breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the filming of such a drama has finally been completed.

Speaking of which, this drama gave Lin Xing an experience he had never had before.

It's one thing for the production team to be on hiatus, but other than that, Lin Xing has gone from the second male lead to the first male lead.

Now that filming is finished, Lin Xing feels that he can rest for a few days.

Lin Xing has been on the set of the drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls" almost all the time. In the meantime, he also produced "The Hidden Lurker", plus the filming and promotion of "The Hidden Lurker" and so on.

It's not enough to say I'm tired.

After all, when you are immersed in it, especially when there are a group of people who have the same interests as you, you don't feel tired.

But we still have to balance work and rest.

So what Lin Xing was thinking about was to tell Xin Hui when he woke up today. He knew that Xin Hui had been in the imperial capital recently.

As a result, I never expected that when I opened my eyes today, Xin Hui would appear at the door of his hotel room.

"I'm happy."

Xin Hui couldn't hide his excitement: "I told you on the 1st that you have to film a movie if I want to see you. Today we two must not get drunk or come home."

"Don't get drunk. I drank too much last night and I still have a headache..."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly as he spoke.

"If I knew that you finished filming yesterday, I would have come directly."

Xin Hui said: "You too, you should have called me yesterday."

Xin Hui was really excited today. This kind of excitement made Xin Hui have to find Lin Xing to share it.

After all, Xin Hui's requirements for "The Hidden Lurker" were not high from the beginning. He just hoped that the game would gain a good reputation.

Just don't fail.

Whether you make money or not is secondary. As long as you don't hit the streets and have a certain good reputation, that's all.

As a result, the surprises this game brought to Xin Hui were like driving a car. It was a wave after wave without stopping.

The sales volume of No. 1 immediately topped the list, which really made Xin Hui get rid of his depression.

After all, in the past two years, many people think that Xin Hui is a stupid guy with a lot of money, and many people even think that Xin Hui is a prodigal.

Many people in the second generation circle have a lot of yin and yang feelings toward Xin Hui.

Therefore, this time "Secret Lurker" ranks first in sales, allowing Xin Hui to truly prove himself.

If it were just that, that would be fine.

The following praises from the official media are really going against the grain.

Perhaps no one expected that "The Hidden Lurker" would be praised one after another by People's Daily Online and CCTV.

Then, yesterday, a huge array of blue V messages appeared on Weibo. Unknown to that guy, he thought it was Chinese New Year.

Even last night when Xin Hui went home for dinner, his father patted Xin Hui on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, well done."

After all, Lao Xin's family also has a layout in entertainment, and Lao Xin's family has always followed the policy.

This time Xin Hui made a game and received official praise, and the praises came one after another, and Lao Xin felt happy.

"Whatever you want to do next, do it."

If Xin Hui was already very happy when Lao Xin praised Xin Hui, then Lao Xin's second sentence really made Xin Hui happy.

He did it.

He finally got his father to recognize him, and even his father agreed to let him continue his business.

Damn it.

I wonder who dares to look down on me any more.

That bastard named Ye Fan, this time I have to slap him in the face.

Xin Hui explained the situation to Lin Xing in a snap, and at the same time he said: "Old Lin, what else do you want to invest in? I will listen to you in the future. I don't ask for much, as long as I can be praised by CCTV and People's Daily Online... …”

Lin Xing was a little speechless: "Are you not asking too much??"

"Hahaha, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry, as long as I have the chance."

Of course Xin Hui also knew how difficult this was, so he laughed first: "But it's really fun. Now I understand why Lao Liang likes to read those slap-in-the-face online novels, because it's really fun."

It's really cool.

Recently, every time when Xin Hui chats in the group, he would like to yell at Ye Fan, and then make some weird remarks.

After all, when Xin Hui rushed to the street before, this Ye Fan was quite yin and yang.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Xin Hui talked about another thing: "The editor-in-chief of "Game World" wants to interview you, and they want to make a special issue for you temporarily."

“Make a special issue for me??”

Lin Xing frowned: "They are game magazines, and I don't play games very much..."

"It can be considered as helping us promote "Secret Lurker". The main reason is that they want to continue to use it. After all, the sales of game magazines are not very good now. I think they are so pitiful and just reserved their advertising space for a few months..."

After all, Xin Hui still has some feelings for games, so he did give a little help to the magazine "Game World".

In Xin Hui's opinion, this is just a little help, but for "Game World" magazine, it solves an urgent need.

At least "Game World" magazine's bonuses are stable this year, and everyone can have a good year.

"OK."

Lin Xing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

On the one hand, since "Game World" is helping to promote "Secret Lurker", it doesn't hurt if Lin Xing agrees to do an exclusive interview.

On the other hand, Lin Xing speculates that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" may also have to be promoted next month, so it can be considered as a promotion for this drama.

After hearing Lin Xing's agreement, Xin Hui called Anan: "We are going to have dinner soon, you can just go to the Peace Hotel."

Half an hour later, Peace Hotel, suite.

"Hello, Teacher Lin."

Anan had been waiting for Lin Xing at the Peace Hotel early.

"Okay, Anan, just ask whatever you want..."

Xin Hui glanced at the time, and then he said to Lin Xing: "Old Lin, I'm going to pick up Huo Tingting. She happens to be attending an event in the Magic City today."

Lin Xing said: "Okay."

Recently, Huo Tingting has started to participate in various activities. In the past few days, there is a gathering of the second generation stars in Modu, and not only the second generation stars are there, there are also some other second generations, and even some second generations. Parents will also support their children.

Each line has a circle.

People like Huo Tingting have the blessings of their fathers, so their debut can be said to be smooth.

"Teacher Lin, this is our interview transcript..."

Anan waited until Xin Hui left before taking out the interview transcript.

In addition to the questions, these interview transcripts also include some answers.

Obviously, Anan also has some friends in the entertainment industry after all, so he knows that most celebrities have to read the interview script, and even their consent depends on the interview script.

how to say? ? ?

Many celebrities are no different from idiots if they leave the script. If they are asked to speak without the script, they will only say "this question is meaningless".

"Need not."

Lin Xing laughed at this time: "Since it is an interview, there is no need to fix any framework."

Anan: "??"

Obviously Lin Xing's words made Anan a little surprised, but Anan didn't say anything. He was a little stunned and then started chatting.

"Teacher Lin, our special issue is a supplement, so we will publish it around the 25th of this month..."

Anan first talked about the situation.

It was also common in the past for "Game World" to issue supplements.

But it’s really not possible to publish a supplement with a popular celebrity on the cover.

"Then, our interview will officially begin."

Anan then sat up straight and started the interview.

The first question is naturally about why "The Hidden Lurker" was made.

Lin Xingdao: "I've said this before. It's because the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has been suspended, but everyone is very happy to work together. We don't want everyone to disband like this, so we just want to make a live-action film and television game."

Anan asked: "Then why should it be made into a spy game??"

"As I said just now, we don't want the crew to disband, and we are all filming a spy drama, so it is just right to make a spy game."

…

"I really didn't expect this game to be so popular. We just wanted to disband the crew at the time, and then we gave it a try, but we didn't expect it to happen."

"No, I don't know much about other games, so making "Secret Lurker" just happened to happen."

…

The interview lasted almost half an hour.

In addition to talking about the original intention of the game "Secret Lurker", it is natural to inevitably talk about the plot.

"I told Xin Hui before when we were making games that this game is not about making money, and I don't intend to educate everyone about this game. We just want to make a spy game..."

…

Half an hour later, Anan said: "Teacher Lin, thank you."

Anan’s exclusive interview in this issue is quite rewarding.

In other words, the gimmick is quite big.

This is Lin Xing's first interview after the hit of "The Hidden Man", and it is also Lin Xing's interview after the completion of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

He even talked about "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in the interview.

This supplement suddenly seemed like an entertainment magazine.

"Teacher Lin, I will go back and finish the manuscript before sending it to you for a look. You can see if there is anything that needs to be changed..."

Anan left these words before leaving.

Later, the official V of "Game World" revealed the news of this supplement.

"The next supplement will be released, featuring an exclusive interview with Lin Xing, the creator of "Secret Lurker", to reveal how the phenomenon-level game "Secret Lurker" was born."

This news instantly caused the official V of "Game World" to explode again.

"Damn, did you actually interview Lin Xing?"

"Here, wasn't it previously announced that Lin Xing would be included in the latest issue of Game Magazine? Why is there another supplement?"

"In that case, I must read this supplement."

"Count me in."

…

"You are "Game Magazine", not "Gossip Magazine", and you are not a traffic magazine. I really give up. Can't you just run a magazine properly?"

"That's right. I really didn't expect that "Game Magazine" has now become a hype magazine."

"Oh, I'm really disappointed."

...

Editor-in-chief's office of "Game Magazine".

"Brother Nan, there are a lot of people criticizing us online, and many people in the "Game Forum" think that we have forgotten our original intention and actually interviewed traffic artists in the entertainment industry."

The publicity department came to report to Anan.

"Don't worry about them."

Anan said nonchalantly: "They are the kind of people who always stir up trouble. Many people in the forum have always only stirred up trouble but have never supported us."

What does it mean to not forget your original intention? ? ?

Why did Anan go to interview Lin Xing.

You should know that the pre-sale sales of the October issue of "Game World" are really higher than their annual sales.

The sales of "Game World" were actually quite miserable before.

But this time, the October issue of "Game World" on official V stores such as Taobao, JD.com, Pinxixi, and WeChat Mini Programs directly set a record.

These people must have been brought by Lin Xing.

After all, it is too difficult to rely on people in the circle to buy this magazine.

Many people only shout, but never buy magazines.

Even if "Game World" magazine is still priced at 15 yuan in recent years, it is useless.

You must know that 15 yuan is often not enough to even afford a cup of milk tea, but it can buy a professional magazine.

So, Anan thought about publishing another special issue.

The premise of not forgetting your original intention is that you have to survive.

If you can't survive, what else do you want to do? ?

Making money is not shameful.

Eating is also not shameful.

In many cases, whoever spends money is the boss.

It's not easy to have a big local tyrant like Xin Hui, for "Game World" they must hold on to the thigh.

It's almost going bankrupt, what are you proud of at this time? ? ?

Survive first.

So Anan doesn't care what people say online.

More importantly, Anan thinks that their magazine doesn't really want to gossip.

Apart from anything else, is the game "Hidden Lurker" a phenomenon? ?

More importantly, this game was created by Lin Xing.

So what's wrong with interviewing Lin Xing? ? ?

Let them be, whether it's online discussions or online criticisms.

Because Anan thinks that "Hidden Lurker" will probably continue to ferment.

This is indeed the case.

The real reason why "Hidden Lurker" has gone viral is that it has brought in some people who don't play games.

This is the scary part.

Why can "Hidden Lurker" be the first in sales in real time? ?

That's because many people who don't play games have also come in.

And Anan wants these viewers to pay for it.

At the same time, Xin Hui invited Huo Tingting to eat with him, and Huo Tingting said to Lin Xing: "Brother Xing, there is a party tonight. Do you have time to attend?"
