Chapter 239: A Scoundrel in the Industry, a Frustrated Director, Boss Yang

Today is not only a party, but also a small gathering of the crew of "The Lost Daughter".

Although the National Day file was dominated by "The Hidden Lurker", "The Lost Daughter" still received considerable attention.

I have said before that the cast of this movie is strong, and this movie was also filmed in Shanghai, and then finished on October 1st.

If there is no "The Hidden Lurker", then "The Lost Daughter" will definitely receive more attention.

This movie is the third movie written and directed by Huo Bing. You should know that Huo Bing has always been a well-known screenwriter in the entertainment industry. He has cooperated with Ye Xing for 27 years and produced a series of classic movies.

During this period, Ye Xing did find other screenwriters, but the movies he made were completely different.

As for Huo Bing, he also cooperated with other directors, and they also failed.

So the industry said that the two belong to Ye Buli Huo, Huo Buli Ye.

It is a pity that in 2015, Ye Xing announced that he could no longer direct movies due to health reasons, which led to Huo Bing's two self-written and self-directed movies and became a dark horse.

In an interview, Huo Bing also said the reason. He thought that no one understood his director as well as Ye Xing. In this case, I might as well do it myself.

There are many screenwriters who have turned to directors, and many have succeeded, but not many have turned as smoothly as Huo Bing.

The key is that Huo Bing is 68 years old. To be honest, he has been eliminated by the market at this age. Look at the movies made by those former big directors, one after another.

As a result, the 68-year-old Huo Bing refused to admit defeat and became a director, but he succeeded.

The small production "The Disappearing Couple" directly won 200 million box office. You should know that the production cost of this movie is not even 20 million, and most of the actors are here for friendship.

Then the second "The Disappearing Murderer" won 300 million box office.

Really old and strong.

What else can I say about the two movies that won more than 500 million box office? ? ?

The most important thing is that during this period, Huo Bing also worked part-time in three movies of his students. Although the box office was not too good, it was profitable.

Now, the 76-year-old director of the Disappearance Trilogy "The Disappearing Daughter" has finished filming. Unlike the previous small-scale productions, this one is full of stars.

Just look at the cast of "The Disappearing Daughter" which was announced when it was finished, and there are nearly 25 actors in one go.

The most important thing is that these 25 actors are either drama bones or traffic stars, and each of them is very popular.

Although everyone is not surprised by the configuration of traffic + drama bones, it would be a lie to say that they are not disappointed.

After all, who would have thought that Huo Bing, who is in this position, would do this.

However, most people sneered. Huo Bing even promoted his own daughter, so what's surprising about him using traffic actors? ?

What's more, the market is like this. Although the traffic is not as crazy as in previous years, there is still a market.

One of the leading actors in the movie "The Disappearing Daughter" is Ren Yi.

Of course, Ren Yi is actually a supporting actor.

Even though Ren Yi has been firmly the leading actor in the TV drama circle, he still can't be the leading actor in the movie circle.

The male lead of this drama is Chu Hai, who is very popular recently. This Chu Hai is a double winner in both movies and TV series.

As a member of the middle-aged and young generation, he has accumulated a lot of experience.

You should know that six years ago, Chu Hai was still playing supporting roles in TV series.

But six years ago, Chu Hai had already ushered in his golden period.

In comparison, Ren Yi is a little worse. He has tried to enter the film industry in recent years, but he always failed. Later, he didn't even have a chance to play the leading role in the film industry.

This is the cruelty of movies, and movies are even crueler than TV series.

Look at An Yifeng, even though she has such a thick blood bar, she still failed miserably in the film industry.

This year, Ren Yi can be said to have made further progress in his career with "Sweeping Black Waves", so he naturally wants to break into the film industry again.

In the movie "The Lost Daughter", Ren Yi got a role with a good role, and he didn't need to carry the box office, he just needed to perform well.

"Old Yang, this is Lin Xing, haven't you always wanted to meet him?"

Ren Yi introduced Lin Xing to a bearded man who looked particularly artistic.

Lin Xing actually knew the man in front of him.

Venomous-tongued Yang Yang.

He is also a celebrity on the Internet. Of course, he has many titles, such as writer, screenwriter, host, director, etc.

Not only that, Old Yang is also a famous film critic.

The word "venomous tongue" can tell what kind of personality he has.

The reason why Lin Xing knows this guy is because of his quarrels on the Internet.

Yes.

This poisonous-tongued Old Yang is basically known for quarreling on major social platforms, and his quarrels are often humorous and very tricky.

This Old Yang has been famous for more than 20 years. Anyway, Lin Xing really doesn't know what works he has, but he knows that he has a strong presence.

After all, Old Yang is different from other film critics. He is still quite famous in the circle. He often eats with this big shot and talks with that big shot.

Not only that, he also participated in variety shows from time to time and made guest appearances in some TV dramas. Many people in the entertainment industry called him "teacher" when they saw him.

Anyway, his qualifications are still quite high, but Lin Xing really couldn't remember any of his works.

However, Lin Xing did not expect that Ren Yi and Lao Yang seemed to have a good relationship.

"I did not expect to meet here today."

Lao Yang smiled and looked at Lin Xing and said, "I really like playing your "Hidden Lurker". The game is so great. I just told Lao Ren about you. Your work really shocked everyone in the circle..."

It is obvious that Lao Yang really played the game "Hidden Lurker", and he is a bit of a film critic.

These few words praised Lin Xing.

Of course, Lin Xing expressed his gratitude on the one hand, but on the other hand, he said that this was the credit of the hard work of all the crews of "Hidden Lurker".

"But Lin Xing, you are the screenwriter, what does this prove?"

At this time, another middle-aged man smiled and said: "This proves that the screenwriter is important, and Director Dong has always respected the screenwriter very much, unlike some people."

After that, the middle-aged man introduced himself to Lin Xing: "Lin Xing, hello, my name is Kong Shan, I like your performance in "Bad Kids" very much."

Kong Shan, a well-known screenwriter in the industry, is nicknamed Kong Cannon because he often fires at capital, traffic stars, and some actors.

"Hello, Mr. Kong."

Lin Xing also said to Kong Shan with a little respect.

Unlike Lao Yang, Kong Shan is really famous. Several of his dramas, especially "Why She" are still in the top ten urban dramas.

More importantly, "Why She" will be discussed every year on November 25, the Anti-Domestic Violence Day.

This TV series is about domestic violence, and it is a TV series 20 years ago, but it is not outdated at all, and it is hundreds of times better than the current TV series.

You should know that whether it is domestic violence or rape in TV dramas nowadays, the camera is basically aimed at the victim, and the victim is always portrayed as pitiful and miserable.

But in "Why She", the camera is aimed at the perpetrator, showing the hideousness of a domestic violence man to the fullest.

In addition to "Why She", Kong Shan has several other dramas, and he is strictly speaking a student of Huo Bing.

Today he came to get together with other people.

In recent years, Kong Shan has not produced any works. You have been following Lao Yang to do various live broadcasts, interviews, book clubs, etc.

Then Kong Shan will invite him to many variety shows, and some talk shows will also invite him.

Kong Cannon is not a false name.

He will confront anyone he is unhappy with.

Therefore, although Kong Shan has not produced any works in recent years, his presence in the entertainment industry is getting bigger and bigger.

"Huh?"

When several people were chatting, Kong Shan was a little surprised: "Dian is here too?"

Old Yang sneered: "He probably still doesn't want to give up and wants to find Mr. Huo to help him."

"Impossible."

Kong Shan shook his head slightly: "My teacher has helped him twice. He is a hopeless case. How can I help him again?"

The two people didn't lower their voices when they spoke, and Lin Xing was also suddenly enlightened when listening to other people chatting.

Dian is a director. He is also a student of Huo Bing. He used to be an assistant director in the crew. When he accumulated enough money, he started to make movies.

As a result, the first movie invested 80 million, and the box office was less than 10 million. This Dian was a complete failure.

This movie had some investment from Huo Bing, and the actors were all well-known actors. Dian wanted to make a commercial movie.

As a result, it was a complete failure.

Later, Dian learned to be smart. He wanted to make an art film, but it still failed, and this art film did not win any awards at domestic and foreign film festivals.

It's not enough that the art film failed at the box office, but it's embarrassing that he didn't win any awards at home or abroad.

After two consecutive failures, it will be much more difficult for Dai An to attract investment. Many people even think that he should stop directing.

He has almost exhausted his connections with these two movies.

The entertainment industry is so cruel.

However, Lin Xing was a little surprised that Lao Yang and Kong Shan seemed to look down on Dai An.

But this is their business, and Lin Xing is too lazy to worry about it.

"Brother Xing..."

At this time, Huo Tingting came to Lin Xing: "I was looking for you..."

While speaking, Huo Tingting greeted Ren Yi, Lao Yang, Kong Shan and the other three people.

Obviously, Huo Tingting has a good relationship with these people. After all, strictly speaking, she grew up under their eyes.

"Brother Xing, my friend wants to take a photo with you..."

Huo Tingting said to Lin Xing.

Lin Xing smiled and said, "Then let's go."

He felt that Huo Tingting came at the right time, because he really didn't want to deal with people like Lao Yang and Kong Shan.

How to say it? ?

He could still talk to Ren Yi about acting, but Lao Yang and Kong Shan basically talked about so-and-so being bad, so-and-so being bad, and so on.

The most taboo thing in the entertainment industry is to talk about deep things with shallow friends.

So Lin Xing apologized to everyone, and then followed Huo Tingting to Huo Tingting's friends.

After taking a few simple group photos, Huo Tingting's friends were all very excited.

It was obvious that although they had often seen many celebrities, they were actually fans of Lin Xing.

Lin Xing stayed and chatted for a few more words before leaving.

Lin Xing found that he didn't know anyone in this circle except Xin Hui and Ren Yi.

But it didn't matter if he didn't know others, it was enough for others to know him.

"Lin Xing, hello..."

As he was talking, a woman came over and introduced herself politely: "I'm Yang Tian."

"Hello."

Lin Xing looked at the woman in front of him and said politely.

"I really didn't expect to see you here. I was still thinking about how to get to know you..."

Yang Tian's words were not false. She really wanted to get to know Lin Xing.

While Yang Tian was talking, she took out her mobile phone and said: "Is it convenient to add WeChat?"

Lin Xing smiled and said: "Of course it's convenient."

Yang Tian in front of him was a fierce man. She was not just a female star now. She was also a capital.

Think about it, she was just a little maid who helped An Yifeng hold an umbrella, but now she is Boss Yang.

Let's not talk about her later transformation into a workaholic, but she was able to complete the gambling agreement and turn around to become a boss, which was indeed unexpected by many people.

More importantly, Yang Tian's career in the film industry is smoother than An Yifeng's.

Although Yang Tian is not the leading actress in "The Lost Daughter", her role is still quite important.

She is really lucky.

Yang Tian said to Lin Xing: "How many days will you stay in Shanghai?"

"I should be back to the capital tomorrow."

Lin Xing thought for a moment and said: "I will go back to the capital after I finish recording the variety show of Shanghai Satellite TV."

"I will go back to the capital tomorrow too. Let's go back together then?"

Yang Tian said, and then she looked at Lin Xing and explained: "It's like this. I recently received a script and I want you to help me take a look..."

"Oh?"

Lin Xing was even more surprised: "I don't know much about scripts..."

"Lin Xing, don't be so modest. I have calluses on my ears from hearing Sister Fei praise you..."

Yang Tian smiled and said: "Don't worry, no matter whether the opinion is good or bad, just give me a suggestion. I will never be dissatisfied or complain about your opinion afterwards. You can ask Sister Fei. I, Yang Tian, ​​am not such a person. I mainly want to hear your opinion."

"Okay."

Lin Xing felt that Yang Tian had said so much, so what else could Lin Xing not agree to? ?

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Yang Tian was called away.

Then a few more people came over to say hello to Lin Xing, of course, they were all social interactions for adults.

After all, the real protagonists today were Huo Bing, Chu Hai, Jia Ying, Chu Tian and others.

"Your script will definitely fail."

At this time, Lin Xing discovered that Lao Yang and others seemed to be arguing with Dai An.
