Chapter 303: Trial, You Can Go for It (Ask for Monthly Pass)

For Lin Xing, the higher the popularity of "Killing Arden", the better.

After all, Diane still has certain connections in the industry. Many times, the film industry relies on connections rather than money.

Just like Xin Hui before him, he was taught how to be a good person when he first entered the film industry.

And in this circle, seniority is the key to ranking, not to mention cliques.

People like Kong Shan and Lao Yang have obviously not produced any works for many years, and even Lao Yang is a gangster in the industry, but they are still mentors for major domestic film festivals, award ceremonies, variety shows, and even acting variety shows.

Tell me, why do they do that? ?

Isn’t it just relying on the circle?

If you look at some veteran actors, they rely on the three major film schools and even control various resources. They are invisible bosses and capital.

At that time, because the Internet was underdeveloped, the three major film schools could be said to control public opinion, and many students were even taught various hidden rules.

The biggest commotion that year was the "Liu Liangping beating" incident.

Eighteen years ago, Liu Liangping beat up Tao Fei, a professor in the acting department at the Imperial Film Academy, and then exposed Tao Fei's bestial behavior.

Even though the Internet was not developed back then, because the nude photos were flying all over the place, and even famous actresses were involved, the Imperial Film Academy couldn't suppress them even if they wanted to.

At that time, the media was quite capable.

Especially entertainment and gossip media.

Even the special articles on major portal websites are directly titled ‘Emperor Film Academy Nude Photos’.

The questions are really exciting.

Because this Tao Fei is not just an unspoken student, he doesn't even let the students' mothers go.

If Liu Liangping hadn't been a celebrity himself, and he was the one who beat up Tao Fei directly in front of everyone, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been exposed.

But now these things have been exposed long ago, and the Imperial Film School is still one of the highest schools in the film industry.

Even Tao Fei came out to make movies a few years ago, but Liu Liangping has disappeared now.

What's funny is that when Tao Fei's new movie was released, Kong Shan went to support Tao Fei.

So you really believe he is Kong Dapao? ?

He is just watching people order food.

Take this time as an example, Kong Shan really criticized Lin Xing in various ways because he was interested in Lin Xing's traffic.

Especially today, even after he saw the first trailer of "Killing Arden", he still did not change his opinion.

Today is a live broadcast between Kong Shan and Yang Yang.

During the live broadcast, the two people naturally and inevitably started chatting about the trailer of "Killing Arden".

"I really didn't expect Brother Sharp to be Lin Xing. From this aspect, I think Lin Xing is really good. He is willing to experience life for the role..."

Yang Yang is quite to the point, although he also talked about this movie and Diane before.

But this time he gave some praise to Lin Xing.

Then there is Kong Shan. Kong Shan thinks this trailer is good, but it is just a trailer.

"I said from the beginning that I don't have any objection to Lin Xing. I just think it's too early for Lin Xing to make literary films..."

Kong Shan shook his head and said: "I still hold the same view as before. Lin Xing is too anxious. Now he doesn't have the opportunity to win awards or the ability to handle the box office..."

Next, Kong Shan talked about the trailer in detail.

He even thinks that this trailer is a kind of vilification of small cities.

Where are these so-called poor people now? ?

In short, the meaning behind the words is the same, that is, Kong Shan gave guidance to the country as a senior.

Of course, Kong Shan did not forget to tell the inside story.

"Currently, I heard that Diane is looking for someone in the industry to have this film viewed by other film festival selections..."

Kong Shan and Dai An are actually in the same circle in a strict sense.

As I said before, there are no secrets in this circle.

Diane has indeed recently been thinking of using her own connections to invite the Toronto Film Festival’s Asian film selection specialists to take a look.

As for whether it can be done, it's hard to say.

You must know that there are only a few film selection specialists in each region, but they need to watch at least thousands of films.

Basically, you have to vomit after watching the movie.

Someone even said privately before that if a movie selector doesn't find it interesting after watching it for one minute, then the movie can be taken away.

Because of this, Lin Xing believed that Diane's previous edited trailer was wrong.

Because what Lin Xing needs is a trailer that can attract film selectors at a glance.

The trailer is not just for interaction with Brother Sharp, what Lin Xing needs is for the trailer of "Killing Aden" to really create a publicity effect.

No, even Yang Yang and Kong Shan want to continue to come here to take advantage of the popularity.

This trailer is indeed a hit.

In three days, it almost caused the entire Internet to become extremely popular.

"How about it??"

In the viewing room, Diane asked nervously towards Dong Deng and others.

The post-production of "Killing Arden" was very intense this time, and there was nothing we could do about it. In order to catch up with the film festival, we had to work overtime.

Fortunately, after a lot of hard work, the production was finally completed.

Dong Deng expressed his opinion to Lin Xing before when they were drinking, and invited him to watch the film when it was finished.

It just so happens that the production is finished today, and Dong Deng happens to be in the capital, so it's a good opportunity to invite Dong Deng to take a look.

In addition to Dong Deng, there are three other directors on the scene: Liu Zhou, Feng Gang, and Zu Ming.

Yes.

They are all considered to be Lin Xing's mentors.

Of course, Dai An also invited several familiar friends in the industry.

After watching, Dai An couldn't wait to ask Dong Deng and others.

At this time, the viewing room was a little quiet.

Especially Dong Deng.

After all, he has just worked with Lin Xing for a short time, and whether it is Xiao Bo in the game "Secret Lurker" or Chen Xuewen in "For Whom the Bell Tolls", these two characters are both handsome and charming.

Or elites.

Even Lin Xing's previous role, the so-called disfigured Li Dongsheng, is actually okay.

The okay here refers to the Li Dongsheng without the bald head.

But the role of Ading in front of him is different.

"Great, Ah Xing did a great job."

Dong Deng said with a little shock: "I think Ah Xing's acting skills have reached a peak, and this role will even become his masterpiece."

In just a few months, Lin Xing almost broke all his previous habits or acting skills through his own life experience.

This really shocked Dong Deng.

Dong Deng even wanted to watch this movie again because he was still trapped in the plot of "Killing Ading".

Reality and fantasy coexist.

Even Dong Deng himself was a little schizophrenic.

Zu Ming on the side also said: "Now I understand why Ah Xing said it's difficult to get out of the play. Such roles are often hard to come by."

It is obvious that the two great directors really think that Lin Xing's performance is very strong.

Zu Ming has not cooperated with Lin Xing since the last "Sweeping Black Waves". The last time the two met was at the dinner after the Magnolia Awards.

But Zu Ming has always been paying attention to Lin Xing. He still remembers the shock that Lin Xing brought him during the first audition.

At that time, many people thought that Lin Xing was illiterate, after all, Lin Xing's illiterate character was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But Lin Xing directly brought Zu Ming a huge surprise, and Zu Ming even exclaimed that this could be thought of by an illiterate? ?

It was also because of Lin Xing that the character of the crazy pervert Zhou Bo came into being.

As for Lin Xing's ability during the filming and promotion period, it goes without saying.

In short, Zu Ming felt that Lin Xing was born to do this job, and people like him would definitely be able to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry.

However, Lin Xing's progress still exceeded Zu Ming's imagination.

In a year and a half, Lin Xing has already had many representative works.

This is a rocket in the industry.

The key is that Lin Xing has been making progress.

Zu Ming watched the drama "For Whom the Bell Tolls" because he happened to be a judge of the TV drama unit of this Magnolia Awards.

He felt that Lin Xing really had a great chance of winning the Best Actor this time.

Lin Xing played the role of Chen Xuewen very well.

But I never expected that this time in "Killing Ading", Lin Xing would go one step further.

"Axing, you really keep surprising me."

Zu Ming said with a sigh, and then he said to Diane: "Xiao Dai, I think this movie can be screened at the Toronto Film Festival, I will help you promote it..."

After all, although Zu Ming does not know several of the current Toronto Film Festival's selectors, he knows one of the art directors of this session.

Because the art director was a judge at the Shanghai International Film Festival in China before, and it just so happened that Zu Ming was invited to be the award presenter that session.

After all, Zu Ming is not from the film industry, he is from the TV industry, but he has established a friendship with the art director.

This time at the Toronto Film Festival, the art director even invited Zu Ming to watch the movie.

Zu Ming naturally knew that Diane was going to push the movie to the selectors, but he didn't say anything at first.

But after watching the movie "Killing Ading", Zu Ming felt that the movie was really suitable for screening.

Because whether it is from the perspective of artistry or plot, this movie is very surprising.

More importantly, the characters in it are very real.

Yes.

Real.

He is willing to promote this movie, as for whether it can be shortlisted for the Toronto Film Festival, it depends on the situation.

"Thank you, Director Zu, thank you, Director Zu."

Diane hurriedly thanked Zu Ming when she heard what he said.

"Don't thank me, you should thank Lin Xing."

Zu Ming picked up the phone and called him while speaking.

"Hello, Locke, I may not go at that time. It's like this, I know you have been selecting films all over the world, and I just happen to have a good movie here..."

Zu Ming called Locke, the artistic director and senior film selector of the Toronto Film Festival, and he explained the situation.

"Zu, since you like it, I believe it must have certain strength. I'll give you an email address, you can send it to my email."

On the other side, Locke, who was watching movies from all over the world, said with a smile: "You don't know that I've been vomiting from watching movies recently..."

"Hahaha, I understand, OK, I'll have someone send this movie to you later."

Zu Ming laughed.

Locke asked: "By the way, what's the name of this movie?"

"Killing Ading."

Zu Ming said directly.

"This name is quite familiar, because there are many such names in Hollywood, and they all learn from your Chinese Kung Fu. Don't tell me that this is a Kung Fu movie? If it is a Kung Fu movie, it is really not suitable..."

Locke frowned slightly and said.

You should know that Chinese Kung Fu movies have declined. There is no box office in China for a long time. As for foreign countries, people are not very interested in Chinese Kung Fu movies.

Most of the Chinese movies that are actually screened at the Toronto Film Festival are still mainly art films, and occasionally there are also police and gangster revenge movies.

Of course, there are occasionally some movies screened by masters that may not limit the subject matter.

But Diane is not a master, and he wants to rush for the special screening of the Toronto Film Festival.

Because the main screening is difficult to rush, there are about 20 to 30 movies in total, and Diane feels that he can't be selected in any aspect.

As for Zu Ming, he thinks that "Killing Ading" should be suitable for the main screening.

He laughed after listening to Locke's words: "Locke, don't worry, this movie is not about kung fu, it is about reality. You can say it is an art film, but I think it is more of a genre film about reality. You will know it later..."

After saying a few more words, Zu Ming hung up the phone.

Ding.

His mobile phone received an email from Locke, and then Zu Ming sent the email directly to Diane.

"Okay, you can send the movie to Locke as soon as possible..."

Zu Ming said to Diane: "Let him watch this movie and see if it can be screened in the main screening..."

After that, Zu Ming left.

He had other things to do.

Later, Dong Deng and others chatted for a few words and left.

And Diane did not hesitate at all. He sent the film directly to Locke's email.

At the same time, Venetian also sent a copy.

After all, the registration deadline is almost here.

…

“Hey, let’s take a look.”

After receiving the movie “Killing Ading”, Locke said to several film selectors: “This was sent by a good friend of mine in China. He said that this movie is very good and we can take a look.”

“The trailer is OK.”

A minute later, Locke nodded gently.

The three film selectors also nodded.

After they finished watching “Killing Ading” in less than half an hour, Locke asked: “What are your opinions???”

“It’s worth a try!”

Several film selectors said at the same time.

…

Lin Xing Studio.

“It can be released.”

Ding Chunling said at this time: “Since “Killing Ading” has been completed and has been selected, the next wave of popularity will have to come again.”

…
