Chapter 388 I Dare Not Think that Even Lao Zhong Cursed

"Axing, are you really no longer participating in variety shows??"

After finishing the recording, Minnie and Lin Xing found a tavern, and the two chatted about the recent situation while drinking.

Lin Xing said with a smile: "It's not that I won't participate in variety shows. If it cooperates with the promotion of TV series or movies, I will definitely participate, but I will not participate in permanent variety shows."

Minnie advised Lin Xing: "Axing, it's really hard to do variety shows now. Our show "Tonight's Drama" is almost over..."

"ah??"

Lin Xing was a little surprised: ""Tonight's Drama" is over?? Isn't it a revised edition??"

"It makes no sense. As a variety show that has been around for almost 20 years, it is too old. Moreover, we have reformed it several times and even invited popular artists to join us, but the ratings have not improved significantly, so the station is taking advantage of this. Let’s finish it decently while still being warm…”

Minnie said to Lin Xing: "Actually, the station is planning to launch a new variety show, and we hope you will be one of the hosts, and the conditions..."

"Sister Ni, there is no need to mention the conditions."

Lin Xing shook his head and said: "A few days ago, the second season of "Reinventing the Actor" was also in preparation. At the same time, they also wanted to invite me to be a mentor. I also declined. I really don't want to be too exposed for the time being..."

"forget about it."

Minnie didn't try to persuade her, she just gave her a message. Of course, deep down in her heart, she wanted Lin Xing to be the host.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of Lin Xing's variety show sense, emotional intelligence and even reaction ability, Lin Xing's variety show is simply getting twice the result with half the effort.

Of course, there is another point, that is, Lin Xing’s traffic is huge. How much promotion expenses can be saved by Lin Xing’s participation in variety shows? ?

Originally, the leaders of Minnie TV had very good conditions for Lin Xing and could even provide some resources. You must know that the resources of Tan Province Satellite TV are not generally good.

The result was good, Minnie was interrupted by Lin Xing before she even mentioned it.

Of course, even as a friend, Minnie would advise Lin Xing. In many cases, the flowering period of actors is very short.

Look at those well-known superstars from 20 years ago. How many of them are still remembered after 10 years? ?

It doesn’t even have to be 20 years ago, just how many superstars who were popular 10 years ago are still popular now? ? ?

Therefore, Minnie believes that actors should try their best to expand their influence while they are still popular, and even make crazy money.

In this line, it expires in an instant.

"Axing, you have been out of style for ten years, haven't you recognized the reality yet? If you are not popular in this circle, no one will treat you as a friend."

Minnie advised Lin Xing.

Lin Xing shook his head and said: "That's what it is said, but I still feel that the big waves wash away the sand. I believe that the running water is not to be first, but to keep talking. It is indeed easy to take shortcuts and make money, but I still have some pursuit of acting. , In other words, I am still a bit persistent in this industry, so I won’t join in the trend. ”

Lin Xing said this in private.

He doesn’t want to play the role of a middle schooler who can’t learn how to bend, and he doesn’t want to create a “I don’t love money” persona in public.

He just lived a new life, so he lived a more transparent life.

In the next few days, the reputation of "Minning Town" was a counterattack, and the score even rose directly from 8.8 to 9.4.

The king of dramas, a divine drama, another drama that catches up with "Never Stop".

This drama has received extremely high ratings and popularity since its launch on May 1st, and the data has soared in the next few days.

Among them, Lin Xing's performance is stable, and veteran actors such as Fu Da let everyone see that although they usually pretend to be lazy in acting, they are still very strong when they are serious.

Not only that, many of the young actors in the drama were acting in TV dramas for the first time, but they still performed perfectly.

And after all, there are only 20 episodes in total, so on May 7th, Penguin Video will basically have its finale.

Then May 10th will be the CCTV finale.

"It was too fast, damn, it was over before I even reacted."

"I think this drama is the real number one drama king. It is really not weaker than "Never Stop" at all."

"When I watch a lot of dramas, I feel they are too watery, and there are all kinds of delays. Many TV dramas obviously end at 30 episodes, but one after another they have to fill up to 40 or even 50 episodes. But when I watched "Minning Town" "I just want to say why is it so short?"

"To be honest, I think this finale is really just right. Although everyone has been lifted out of poverty, they still need to work hard for a better life in the future. I think this sudden ending is just right."

…

On May 7, during the finale of Penguin Video, "Minning Town" directly hit the hot search list.

Among them, Liu Ying has directly gained one million followers in the past 7 days.

Everything was as Lin Xing expected, Liu Ying was really popular.

And on May 10th, "Minning Town" also had its finale on CCTV, and the ratings set a new record.

Break 6.

You must know that this year there is only one movie with a rating of 5, and that is "Always On". Of course, "Always On" has higher ratings, but no matter how strong "Always On" is, it cannot break 6.

This is a bonus from CCTV.

If it were on other TV stations, like this "Always On", it would not be difficult to achieve a ratings of 6, but on CCTV, if the drama is good, it is even possible to set a record.

Obviously this time it was a record.

Break 6.

The first TV series in 2026 has a ratings of over 6. Not only this year, it is even the only one in recent years that has a ratings of over 6.

Everyone knows that nowadays, when fewer and fewer people watch TV sets, it’s so fucked up that this TV series breaks 6. ? ?

"Damn it, is there something wrong with this data? How is it possible that the ratings directly broke 6???"

"To be honest, I thought the peak of a movie right now would be the ratings of "Never Stop", but I never expected that the ratings of "Minning Town" would directly break 6???"

"I can't believe it. Let's just talk about it. Who the hell can think of it?"

"I really didn't expect it, but when I think about it again, it seems reasonable that the ratings of "Minning Town" exceeded 6. First of all, this drama is a poverty alleviation drama and a mission drama. The official has been promoting it. Secondly, this drama is quite good. The actors in the film all performed very well, and yesterday CCTV's "News Network" promoted "Minning Town". Just think about it, what kind of treatment is this?"

"Damn, it's true that CCTV's "News Network" came to promote a drama, which is quite unexpected."

…

In short, when the ratings of "Minning Town" came out, many people were shocked in addition to being amazed.

It has been many years since a TV series had a ratings of over 6. It would be unbelievable for a TV series to have a rating of over 5.

For most TV dramas, even if they break 5, they would have to hold a big celebration party if they break 2.

In the end, who would have thought that when it first aired, the outside world said that it was a drama with a main melody, that there was no market for poverty alleviation, that the market for such a drama was extremely low, and that Lin Xing might be on the verge of being sold out. This time, the ratings directly broke 6 during the finale.

Breaking 6.

I behaved well.

Even Lao Zhong said on his Weibo: "I remember when Lin Xing leaked "Always Offline", many people asked whether Lin Xing had a cheat. Now I think Lin Xing really has a cheat? ? Otherwise, why can a drama with such a main theme break 6?

…

Breaking 6! ! ! !

The last bell almost screamed.

The drama reviews Lao Zhong had written before were all bland, but this time she wrote them more excitedly.

This kind of excitement can only be understood by people who like dramas. After all, it is really a miracle if a drama breaks 6.

Who dares to believe it? ? ?

With the market for TV dramas now so sluggish, it is difficult for many TV dramas to even break 1. Just look at the final ratings of "Spy", which dropped to 1.

Yes.

Yang Tian opened champagne at halftime, bought a lot of press releases, and even thought about celebrating in advance.

The results of it? ?

The ratings broke through 1 on the first day, and then everything fell apart in terms of ratings and reputation.

But what about "Minning Town"? ? ?

In an interview, Lin Xing said that he tried his best to act in this TV series, but in the end, the TV series still has to be left to the audience.

In short, Lin Xing sincerely feels that it is hard to say whether the TV series will be a hit or not.

Moreover, Lin Xing also said in an interview that the success of a TV series is really multi-faceted, and success depends on the team.

"I'm just an actor. All I can do is play my role well. I really can't decide anything else, so don't expect too much from me. I'm really not that strong."

This is what Lin Xing said during the interview.

Humble enough.

What's more important is that if it were other people, they might just say some superficial words, but Lin Xing really meant what he said, and he thought so from the beginning to the end.

When dramas such as "Bad Kid", "I Am Yu Xiaohei" and "Death Knell" became popular, Lin Xing would talk about other people in interviews, and even some supporting actors Lin Xing would remember clearly.

In short, an actor may be able to pretend for a while, but since Lin Xing became famous, he has been pretending like this in one of his masterpieces in the past three years.

Who else is talking about Lin Xing's disguise? ? ?

This is the reputation that Lin Xing has created himself.

However, even if Lin Xing did not take the credit for "Minning Town", even when it started airing well, Lin Xing expressed this in many variety show interviews such as "Drama Talk", "Tonight's Drama", "Guests" and so on. The script is well written by Wang Haifei, directed by Tao Lian, and acted well by actors such as Fu Da and Liu Ying.

Not only that, Lin Xing later mentioned some of the executive directors, assistant directors and even staff members, etc., expressing his hard work.

Finally, during the CCTV interview, the host actually wanted to talk about the value of Lin Xing, how much effort he had made to film this role, how much homework he had done, etc., but Lin Xing interrupted the host.

What kind of effort does he think he is doing? ?

He is just an actor, and he even belongs to experience the work of poverty alleviation cadres, but the work of real poverty alleviation cadres is hard, and they are worthy of respect.

What does this mean to Lin Xing? ? ?

Almost all of these interviews have made Lin Xing's popularity soar further.

Because it’s so popular.

The most important thing is that Lin Xingzhen does not belong to those illiterate interviews. Every interview he gives is meaningful.

This reminds me of when Lin Xing ran a road show for the movie "Killing Arden", it was really a desperate effort throughout the whole process, and every interview was different.

It's that kind of energetic energy that makes many people think that Lin Xing is simply an iron man.

And this time in "Minning Town" everyone also saw Lin Xing's energy.

too strong.

Although there are many actors in "Minning Town", there are also many veteran actors, and even Ren Yi made a guest appearance.

But to be honest, it’s almost meaningless for these actors to accept interviews or even help with publicity.

And there are some guest appearances, take Ren Yi as an example. Isn’t it possible for you to have people make guest appearances and also have them help with publicity? ? ?

So most of the publicity fell on Lin Xing.

The male lead, the real male lead carries the drama, and at the same time, the male lead does the promotion himself.

As for the heroine Liu Ying, she accompanied Lin Xing throughout the whole process, but her interviews were really not interesting. She couldn't react in many cases, and several times she really relied on Lin Xing to help her out.

So these 10 days were hard for Lin Xing. He was actually being interviewed every day, shooting promotional photos, appearing on variety shows, live broadcasts, and sometimes even some official CCTV interviews.

Because the current "Minning Town" is an official drama with a main theme, Lin Xing still has to participate in some official activities.

You already know how busy Lin Xing is.

Of course, this kind of busyness has its rewards. The TV series's ratings of over 6 are enough to make everyone look up to Lin Xing.

No.

Not a high look.

Didn't you notice that even Lao Zhong was so excited that he cursed?

When it first aired, everyone thought that "Minning Town" was the second drama king, second only to "Never Stop", but now in terms of ratings, at least "Minning Town" is the number one drama king. .

As for the popularity and discussion of the online broadcast, "Minning Town" is also not weak, and according to Douban's rating, "Minning Town" is also far ahead.

So on May 11th, "Minning Town" held a grand celebration banquet.

Bohai Film and Television is of course the most excited and happy. You must know that this is the first TV series they have invested in, and it has achieved such good results. More importantly, they will promote the movie "Sunspot" next. And this happened to help "Sunspot" gain publicity invisibly.

Who let "Minning Town" and "Sunspot" star Lin Xing?

All the actors of "Minning Town" were invited to today's celebration party.

The ratings have already exceeded 6, so when can we stop showing off at this time? ?
