Chapter 402: Slap in the Face, Coincidence, Speed
"Axing, I'm sorry."
Ren Yi said angrily: "I didn't expect Ding Fei to be so eager to promote it..."
"What??"
Lin Xing was a little surprised: "Isn't it too early for your TV series to start broadcasting? What are the promotional pictures at this time??"
Ren Yi was also speechless: "Because the filming is almost finished, and even Ding Fei wants to start broadcasting as soon as possible, so he wants to take advantage of your popularity now..."
"Fine."
Lin Xing didn't feel angry at all. Anyway, we would only cooperate once in the future.
No, to be precise, there is no chance of cooperation at all.
If Lin Xing didn't care about Ren Yi, he would never have gone to the set of "Long Time No See".
Moreover, Ding Fei's actions were indeed a bit too dishonorable. Just as Lin Xing and Ren Yi said just now, he understood but did not approve of it.
This time too.
Obviously, Ding Fei made Ren Yi very angry. In Ren Yi's opinion, I treated you like a friend, appeared in your TV series in a friendly way, and invited Lin Xing to visit the class.
The result was good. Ding Fei didn't care about Ren Yi's mood at all, and directly put the promotion online without even thinking about how Ren Yi would get along with him.
It was precisely because of this that Ren Yi took the initiative to call Lin Xing to explain.
"It's really okay, Brother Yi, what's the matter? You're too ignorant."
After hearing what Ren Yi said, Lin Xing said with a bit of laughter and tears: "It's really okay, how could I be angry because of this???"
After chatting for a few more words, Lin Xing hung up the phone.
At this time, Lin Xing also read the news on the Internet.
"I'm here, Lin Xing actually went to Jiangcheng. Is he preparing to film a movie or TV series in Jiangcheng?"
"Lin Xing, who disappeared for more than half a month, unexpectedly appeared in Jiangcheng, but he seems to be in good condition."
"I also think Lin Xing is in good condition, but I don't know when to continue filming dramas."
"Please Lin Xing join the team, hurry up and join the team for filming."
"Lin Xing hurry up and join the team."
…
This "Long Time No See" is an active promotion of Lin Xing's visit to the class. At the same time, the editing method is used to make it look like Lin Xing is going to play "Long Time No See".
Many crews have actually done this, and it's basically just to gain some popularity.
There is a saying, generally everyone has an unspoken rule, that is, if you are willing to use it, then use it.
Even if artists are cheated many times, they still admit it.
But Lin Xing is not such a person.
He didn't really want to get involved with "Long Time No See" from the beginning, and he even hated the promotion of "Long Time No See".
It's still what Lin Xing said to Ren Yi before. He really felt that he had no intention of taking the drama "Long Time No See" seriously.
Therefore, Lin Xing called Ding Chunling directly: "Sister Ling, yes, I saw the publicity on the Internet. Please just ask the reporter to send my response. I have no intention of acting in this TV series at all. Not only Only that, I went to visit the class because of Ren Yi. I am not very familiar with the director of "Long Time No See" and other people..."
Ding Chunling was a little surprised: "Axing, do you want to be so direct??"
"Well, I don't respond because I don't want to cooperate with their hype, but I also don't want to deceive the audience. Why should I cooperate with them when they are cheating??"
Lin Xing nodded lightly and said, "Anyway, just let a few entertainment media report it. Just two points. First, I'm not familiar with them, so don't get involved. Second, I'm not participating in this drama."
In this way, half an hour later, Zhalang Entertainment directly wrote on its official V: "According to Lin Xing's studio, Lin Xing went to visit the cast of "Long Time No See" because of Ren Yi. At the same time, Lin Xing did not participate in this TV series. Didn’t participate in the show…”
In addition to Zhalang Entertainment, several other media have reported on it.
"Let me go, this is really a slap in Lin Xing's face."
"Hahaha, Lin Xing really doesn't want to be rubbed off on by others."
"I can actually understand it. After all, let's just say that this TV series was directed by Ding Fei. Ding Fei might have been scared before."
…
Everyone was talking more at this time, and they all paid attention to the situation in the industry. Basically, they were quite impressed by the few dramas that Ding Fei had participated in before.
Everyone in the industry understands.
No one wants to be on the street. If you are on the street twice in a row, you will naturally have to think of other ways, because your chances will be slim.
Everything Ding Fei did was considered well-informed in the industry, but he happened to meet Lin Xing, who didn't play by the rules.
If it were others, they might just be left speechless and suffer the consequences. Many artists don't want to really start tearing it up.
As a result, Lin Xing was not used to it.
There is no discussion about the drama "Long Time No See" on his Weibo, and he even just ignores it and uses other channels to let the media speak out.
Lin Xing remained silent, as if he didn't even want to be next to him.
In this matter, the crew of "Long Time No See" messed up.
You must know that Lin Xing is not afraid of public opinion or so-called word-of-mouth. Now Lin Xing has had a real bumper harvest this year. The ratings of his TV series have exploded, and his movies have directly refreshed the ceiling of literary films.
The TV series "Minning Town" is now being promoted almost exclusively by the government.
In the movie "Sunspot", many people even said that Lin Xing has already booked the best actor.
In the end, actors have to rely on their works to speak for themselves. This year, Lin Xing's reputation cannot be bad just based on these two works.
This is a bad era, and all actors and artists are lying down or even lazy. At this time, Lin Xing really relies on his peers to support him.
Because of this, everyone still trusts Lin Xing, and because of trust, everyone immediately supported Lin Xing after his studio spoke out.
This is where actors' feathers are sometimes used.
The next day, Lin Xing looked at the discussion on the Internet and nodded slightly. It seemed that Ding Chunling's movements were quite fast. Anyway, she did this very quickly.
It's out of Lin Xing's control how he wants to hype or promote "Long Time No See" next.
He just felt that Ren Yi was too miserable and he trusted the wrong person. This time, Ren Yi might have to take the blame for "Long Time No See".
If the TV series' ratings plummet, of course Ding Fei will take the blame as the director, but Ren Yi will also take the blame, as he is the male lead.
Ren Yi, if this drama hits the market again, then he will also rush into two movies.
But since Ren Yi wants to return the favor, this matter is unsolvable, and since Ren Yi doesn't have much of a headache, it's not Lin Xing's turn to consider it.
Now he is just looking at the script "Going to Heaven" and finds it a bit interesting, especially the character in the script who is also quite interesting.
At the very least, this character is not tall and lofty, nor is he great and upright.
This is a little person, a little person who made a mistake, a little person with a kind heart.
This is a realistic movie, and it is relatively novel to focus on the funeral industry.
Many TV series and movies nowadays are basically taboo about life and death, especially the funeral industry, which is not filmed by everyone.
Who would you show such a heavy subject to? ?
The reality is already quite bitter, everyone just wants to have some nipple fun.
But the script of "Going to Heaven" is not heavy, and even has a bit of comedy style.
Not to mention, Lin Xing is indeed a little interested in this script.
The scripts that Ding Chunling helped Lin Xing select before were too similar, and many of them were even the same.
"Brother Ning, I'm Lin Xing, where are you right now?"
Lin Xing dialed Qining's phone number directly.
Qi Ning said: "I'm here at the Yangtze River Bridge because I want to choose more scenes for the script. Then I want to see which scene is suitable. What? Ah Xing, have you finished reading the script???"
Qining was quite surprised when he suddenly received a call from Lin Xing, but after the surprise, he became a little excited.
If Lin Xing is willing to take over this script, then the script can be lifted up a few levels.
You must know that "Going to Heaven" is also regarded as a literary and artistic film in Qi Ning's opinion, and Lin Xing is now the male god of literary and artistic films. With him acting, it will virtually be regarded as a guaranteed film.
However, Qining was actually a little uneasy inside.
First of all, he himself went from screenwriter to director, but he is actually very far behind.
Secondly, why did Lin Xing star in such a low-budget film like yours? ?
Qi Ning, the actor of "Going to Heaven", is not even planning to invite popular actors. He is planning to hire some cost-effective actors.
These are actually also challenges.
Lin Xing's first two movies, one with a box office of over 100 million, and the other with a box office of over 2 billion. Both movies are so successful, will they still take risks? ? ?
When Qi Ning chatted with Ren Yi and said that this protagonist was very suitable for Lin Xing, he said jokingly: "But it is impossible for Lin Xing to participate."
In the end, Ren Yi said: "You still don't understand Lin Xing. When did Lin Xing go to the big fire when filming? Even though Lin Xing's movies are all popular, how many of those dramas thought they were popular before they started filming?? "
If Qi Ning's script was really good, Ren Yi thought Lin Xing would take it, and that's why Ren Yi called Lin Xing after reading the script.
Ren Yi felt that this script was indeed good, and it was really suitable for Lin Xing.
This led to the scene yesterday.
But when Qining heard that Lin Xing didn't want to take on roles recently, he no longer had any hope in his heart.
The reason is very simple. Lin Xing declined politely.
But Qining didn't expect Lin Xing to call him early this morning.
An hour later, Lin Xing met Qi Ning. The two found a place to rest and started chatting.
"I have read this script and I quite like it. I would like to ask where is the progress of this project now??"
Lin Xing looked at Qi Ning and asked seriously: "I didn't listen too carefully yesterday."
Qi Ning's face showed excitement when he heard what Lin Xing said, and he quickly said: "The current script is almost finalized, and the project has been approved, but because I still need to do some on-site investigation, basically this is The earliest the movie can really start shooting will be late October..."
This is what Qi Ning said to Lin Xing yesterday.
They won't be able to shoot it in a while. Qining still has a lot to prepare for, and the actors haven't been decided yet.
“Where are the funds??”
Lin Xing asked: "Has the funding for this movie been secured?"
"The funds are actually in place, but I am still planning to raise some more. Recently, I have been working with..."
Before Qi Ning finished speaking, Lin Xing interrupted: "How much funds are needed? I will help you find a solution when the time comes."
This time, Lin Xing is ready to continue bringing money into the group.
Lin Xing is now satisfied with the script, but Qining is his first time as a director after all, and he needs an experienced producer.
After thinking about it, Lin Xing dialed Ning Ping's phone number: "Director Ning, I didn't bother you."
Ning Ping said with a smile: "I'm not busy, I'm not busy. I just attended a meeting of the Directors Association. I was mainly asked to talk about the reasons for the success of the movie..."
Speaking of this, Ning Ping asked with some confusion: "Axing, didn't you go to relax? Why did you suddenly have time to call me???"
Lin Xing explained the script of "Going to Heaven" and then asked: "Director Ning, will you be free after late October??? I want to ask you to be the producer of this drama..."
"That's fine."
Ning Ping said with a smile: "The script I have in hand has not been selected yet. I am indeed in a free period of leisure, so I can be a producer. You can send me the script..."
Lin Xing chatted with Ning Ping for a few more words, then hung up the phone. He then sent the script of "Going to Heaven" to Ning Ping.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xing called Xin Hui again: "Where is it???"
Xin Hui said excitedly: "I bet, Lao Lin, you finally remembered me. I'm fishing with someone. I've become obsessed with fishing recently. Do you want to come find me?"
Lin Xing said: "Okay, where are you fishing???"
"In Jiangcheng..."
Xin Hui said: "My buddy has a fishing ground here in Jiangcheng, I will come over to have fun..."
"That's a coincidence. I'm also in Jiangcheng. Send me the location and I'll be there right away."
Lin Xing said.
A few seconds later, Xin Hui sent the location.
Lin Xing opened it and took a look. The location was not too far away. He directly called an online taxi and then went to find Xin Hui with Qi Ning.
Less than an hour later, Lin Xing arrived at the fishing spot.
"Axing, let me introduce you."
Xin Hui introduced to Lin Xing: "This is Lao Liang. This guy came to Jiangcheng to play. He found this fishing spot while fishing and bought it directly. I was bored and looked for him..."
Liang Yuan grabbed Lin Xing's hand and said: "Brother Xing, hello, hello, I finally see you. I asked Xin Hui to introduce you to me a long time ago, but this guy always puts me in the wrong place... …”
Liang Yuan and Lin Xing in front of him still knew it, and he also smiled and said: "You are so polite. I have to thank you for always speaking up for me."
