Chapter 248 This Is the Boomerang (Asking for Monthly Votes)
If it was just for fame, then Lin Xing would not have accepted "The Murderer in the Portrait" before, let alone "Bad Kid".
For the recent ones, if Lin Xing really wanted to become more popular, he would not have accepted "Killing Ading" at all, and even chose to invest.
In this regard, Lin Xing has his own persistence.
However, Zheng Zhou still weighed the pros and cons. He felt that as long as he could draw the pie directly, then Lin Xing would definitely agree without any hesitation.
"Then it's fine."
Although Zheng Zhou was a little unhappy, Lin Xing almost gave him enough face, so he would not say anything.
The key is that Lin Xing is very popular now, and he may need Lin Xing to support him sometime in the future.
Liao Qingshan also felt a little regretful, but he thought about what Ren Yi said about Lin Xing's talent, so he asked: "Then Ah Xing, who do you think is suitable for the role of Huang Ning?"
Hearing what Liao Qingshan said, Zheng Zhou's eyes also lit up: "Yes, Ah Xing, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?"
You should know that Zheng Zhou and Ren Yi, Guan Peng, Wang Fei, Song Yuan and others have had dinner together, and have also gathered together several times. Everyone appreciates Lin Xing's ability to understand the role.
You should know that Ren Yi, Wang Fei, and Song Yuan are all big-name actors, and these people actually appreciate Lin Xing's understanding of the role.
Especially when Ren Yi had dinner with Zheng Zhou a few days ago, he said that Zu Ming, Liu Zhou, Dong Deng and other big directors all think Lin Xing is very strong.
You say.
How could Zheng Zhou not value Lin Xing's opinion?
More importantly, Zheng Zhou's opening drama "Learning from Dad and Mom" this year was a mess, and the reputation and ratings were average.
Because of this, Zheng Zhou was holding his breath for "Sweeping Black Storm" this time. He invited Liao Qingyun to come just to set up a plan to do this.
As a result, Fan Le agreed easily, but Lin Xing refused.
This made Zheng Zhou wonder if Lin Xing was not optimistic about the script? ?
So Zheng Zhou also wanted to see who Lin Xing would recommend.
"If I were to recommend this role, I think Kong Tian is quite suitable..."
Lin Xing thought for a while and said, "Whether it is from the image, temperament or other aspects, I think he is very suitable for this role."
"Kong Tian?"
Zheng Zhou was stunned. He knew Kong Tian. After all, Kong Tian is quite famous in the circle as an acting instructor.
Not only Zheng Zhou, but Liao Qingshan's eyes lit up: "Yes, the role of Lao Kong is quite suitable, and you have to say that he can perform this hypocritical energy."
Liao Qingshan and Kong Tian have more exchanges. , and he also watched "Bad Kids" all the way.
Without mentioning other people, Kong Tian's performance in "Bad Kid" still shows the complexity of a father vividly.
Hypocritical but sincere.
Isn't this the character of Huang Ning? ? ?
Half an hour later, Lin Xing left the hot pot restaurant.
Zheng Zhou frowned and said, "Qingshan, don't you think Kong Tian's popularity is a bit too low?"
"The current "Bad Kid" is the first online drama. When the time comes, we can use "Bad Kid" to promote it, and..."
Liao Qingshan laughed: "When the time comes, we can let Lin Xing come to guest star. After all, he recommended Kong Tian to play, and this can also be used as our promotion routine..."
Hearing this, Zheng Zhou began to ponder.
"And another point is that Kong Tian's acting skills are really strong. You have to know Fan Le's acting skills. We have to find someone who can take over his role."
Liao Qingshan added fuel to the fire at this time.
Now, Zheng Zhou didn't need to hesitate at all, he said directly: "Since you are closer to Kong Tian, you can contact him."
Liao Qingshan nodded gently: "Okay, I'll call Kong Tian."
While speaking, Liao Qingshan dialed Kong Tian's number: "Old Kong, you haven't slept yet."
Kong Tian had just finished work at this time, he smiled and said: "No, I just finished shooting the night scene, Qingshan, what's wrong? Call me at this time?"
"Where are you shooting?"
Liao Qingshan asked: "I'm in the capital, I want to talk to you about something."
" Oh? I'm filming in the Northeast, but it will be finished in a few days. "
Kong Tian hurriedly said: "Qingshan, are you going to direct a play? Are there any good roles? ? "
"Yes, I'm going to direct a TV series next, and I'm going to invite you to play the male lead..."
Liao Qingshan roughly explained the situation: "If you have time next, I will send you the script first, and you can take a look first."
"Of course I have time, but Qingshan, you are not kidding, let me play the male lead? ? "
Kong Tian still didn't believe it at this time.
He knew that although he had a certain reputation in the industry, this reputation or this network could only guarantee that he could have a play.
It was almost impossible to play the male lead.
Even Kong Tian had no chance to play the male second before.
This time, if it weren't for Kong Tian's performance in "Bad Kids" that gained some popularity, he would not have so many opportunities.
But Kong Tian did not ask for the protagonist for the time being.
You know, the competition in the entertainment industry is too cruel, especially with so many middle-aged uncles. How can Kong Tian be the male lead? ?
Especially in Liao Qingshan's drama.
How is this possible? ? ?
"Old Kong, don't get excited yet. You have to thank Lin Xing for this."
Liao Qingshan smiled and explained the situation.
So that's it.
Kong Tian naturally knew Lin Xing's persistence, and he didn't expect Lin Xing to recommend him on his own initiative.
Think about it again, "Bad Kids" was also recommended by Lin Xing.
In the past few years when Lin Xing was out of fashion, Kong Tian often counseled Lin Xing, but wasn't he also counseling himself? ?
As a result, he never expected that Lin Xing would continue to help him after he soared to the sky.
As an acting instructor, Kong Tian has helped more than a hundred artists? ?
But in the end, only Lin Xing really wanted to help Kong Tian.
"Okay, send me the script first. I am really interested in this drama."
Kong Tian nodded gently, and then said, "Let's talk about it when I return to the imperial capital."
"Okay, that's it for now."
Liao Qingshan was relieved when Kong Tian agreed.
He was really afraid that Kong Tian would refuse like Lin Xing.
Although Liao Qingshan knew that if Kong Tian really refused, it would be Kong Tian's loss, but if he was rejected repeatedly.
This would make anyone feel a little confused.
On the other side, Kong Tian hung up the phone and called Lin Xing.
"Axing, where are you?"
Kong Tian directly told what happened just now.
"I haven't got home yet. It seems that Zheng Zhou and Liao Qingshan are really anxious."
Lin Xing laughed: "I just recommended it to them. I didn't expect Liao Qingshan to call you so soon."
Kong Tian said seriously: "Axing, thank you."
"Brother Kong, thank you is too formal."
Lin Xing shook his head and said: "Besides, I just recommended you. They really use you because they recognize your acting skills..."
"Although this circle values acting skills, most of the time it is not necessarily acting skills."
Kong Tian said helplessly: "If they really value acting skills, I wouldn't have been PASSed all the time."
Lin Xing smiled and said: "Brother Kong, they are blind. Besides, you took the initiative to PASS them. You can't tolerate any sand in your eyes."
"Haha, indeed."
Kong Tian laughed: "Axing, let's talk about it in detail after I return to the capital."
Lin Xing said: "Okay."
The next day, on the 8th, the National Day holiday officially ended. Today is the first day of work after the holiday.
Many people are still in the stage where their bodies come to work but their minds haven't caught up yet. Many people are still playing the game of "Hidden Lurker".
It's been a week. Some people have already cleared the game with the reminders, but some people didn't look at the cheats. They just want to rely on themselves.
Today is not only the first working day after the National Day holiday, but also the celebration party of "Hidden Lurker".
As mentioned before, the celebration party of "Hidden Lurker" was originally scheduled for the 13th, but Huahai needed to coordinate the actors' schedules in various ways, and finally scheduled it for the 8th.
The celebration party started at 2 pm and was held in the capital. It was live broadcast throughout, and the actors had to walk the red carpet.
Let's put it this way, Huahai is familiar with holding celebration parties, and this time the celebration party was nominally for "Hidden Lurker", but it was actually for "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
Even Song Lei and Zhao Fang were invited as hosts.
Obviously, Shanghai TV also wants to use this celebration banquet to promote "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
Because of this, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has also been on the hot search.
What's interesting now is that as long as "The Hidden Lurker" is mentioned, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" must be mentioned.
This is also why Huahai was willing to promote Lin Xing before.
Overall, as the industry said before, this real wealth really fell on the head of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
Especially in the upcoming opening drama of the year, you must know that Shanghai TV has always been the weaker party.
What's more, the publicity of Tan Province TV has always been very strong, and many times their publicity often achieves twice the result with half the effort.
Nowadays, there are many hot searches about "The Power of the Heart". Even if we put aside the publicity of Tan Province TV, the traffic actors of "The Power of the Heart" are enough.
After all, "The Power of the Heart" used traffic for publicity at the beginning.
Just like Niu Xiang, since the release of the trailer for "The Power of the Heart", his fans have been almost frantically collecting data.
Of course, Niu Xiang's fans no longer mock Lin Xing at this time.
What else is there to mock?
Lin Xing has already become a star in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", while their brother Niu Xiang can only be the second male lead.
Of course, fans are always the hardest-mouthed at any time, even if their own brothers are soft, fans will always be hard-hearted.
As the saying goes, fans are willing to help artists to be enemies with the whole world.
No, Niu Xiang is currently thinking of keeping a low profile for the time being. You know, he has already succeeded in playing the second male lead in "The Power of the Heart".
After all, this is a serious drama.
Niu Xiang is already this age, he can't always play ancient idol dramas, and ancient idol dramas are basically despised in the entertainment industry.
If you don't believe it, take a look at the summary of the hit dramas on major platforms every year. Which one talks about ancient idol dramas? ?
Again, the ancient puppets belong to the circle of fans. They think that their brother is already top-notch and the first brother of ancient puppets, but in the eyes of real people in the industry, he will never be on the stage. .
Because of this, Niu Xiang has always wanted to get into the main drama.
This time, a financial sponsor was willing to support him, and he cherished this opportunity.
And at any time, artists need to make adjustments based on actual conditions.
Just like at the beginning, because Lin Xing didn't have a celebrity status yet, he was still considered a top player, but he was far inferior to Niu Xiang.
What's more, Lin Xing has been given a lot of attention by the crew, and Lin Xing is being praised by everyone for being a good actor. Of course, Niu Xiang wants to step on him at this time.
But it's different now.
Now Lin Xing's popularity has almost increased by three points with the game "Secret Lurker". In particular, the character Xiao Bo has been praised by many people, and some people have called out the ceiling for spy protagonists.
In addition, Lin Xing is already the male lead in "For Whom the Bell Tolls". What else is Niu Xiang going to do at this time? ?
The real hit of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is "The Power of Man".
The real showdown is Lin Xing VS Hou Jian.
So Niu Xiang just promoted it normally. At the same time, the studio would show some stills of Niu Xiang from time to time, and then let the support team blow a wave of rainbow farts.
Basically this is the routine.
But fans faced the ridicule from passers-by but had no intention of letting it go.
First of all, Tan Province TV is far superior to Shanghai TV. As for the platform, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is simply not qualified.
Secondly, "Strike" is a group drama. Whether it is the leading actors Hou Jian and Xia Yi, or other leading actors, they are all actors. This lineup completely crushes "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
Thirdly, Niu Xiang is more suitable than Lin Xing. Otherwise, why didn't Lin Xing be used in "The Power" instead of Niu Xiang? ?
Finally, when fans concluded, they did not forget to say that there are no big or small roles. They did not think that Niu Xiang, the second male lead, was inferior to Lin Xing. I will see if it is better or not in the drama.
How fresh is it? ?
When Lao Zhong looked at the short essay written by Niu Xiang's fans on Weibo, he directly retweeted the long essay and said at the same time: "Since you fans think that the characters are not big or small, why are you tearing them apart??? "
"Hahaha, I just like Lao Zhong's facial expression input."
"It makes me laugh so hard. I still believe other people who say the characters are big or small. Are these Niu Xiang fans saying this is funny??"
"When the cast of "The Power of Man" was officially announced, who was arguing??"
"This boomerang is a bit interesting, and I really like Lao Zhong's character."
"Niu Xiang's fans were calling Lao Zhong Lin Xing's vest back then. Lao Zhong must be holding a grudge."
…
This Weibo post by Lao Zhong directly killed fans’ essays.
Say one thousand, say ten thousand, the main thing is that the boomerang is powerful.
This is the case anytime fans have double standards. They always believe in the party that is beneficial to them.
But they forgot that the Internet has traces, so this time Boomerang did this, and Niu Xiang fans were dumbfounded.
Then they chose to ignore Lao Zhong and said: "We will find out who is swimming naked when the show starts."
They ignored Lao Zhong, but Lao Zhong kept staring at them. She forwarded it again: "Comparing acting skills with Lin Xing, have your heads been gnawed by pigs???"
Niu Xiang fans: "???"
Obviously, Lao Zhong’s venomous tongue, or in other words, Lao Zhong has never failed in her beef on Weibo over the years.
This Niu Xiang fan finally chose to block Lao Zhong, and at the same time they began to frantically compile data for "Strike".
In the opinion of fans, they will wait until "The Power of Man" starts airing and the ratings surpass "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to tear up Lin Xing.
When the ratings of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" take a hit, will you, Lin Xing, be responsible as the male lead? ?
As for what to say if the ratings of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" exceeds that of "Michelle Power" fans, they have never considered it at all.
How can it be?
Leave it alone, do you believe it?
