Chapter 412 How Dare You Steal the Show?

《Striving for Success》.

Lin Xing looked at the name of the script and thought it was quite concise.

He had just heard Zheng Zhou's talk on the way here. Zheng Zhou had wanted to write his own scripts recently, but it was Zheng Zhou's wife who reminded him.

"Didn't your dramas fail in the past two years because you wanted to be a screenwriter? I mean, you should just do your best as an actor."

This sentence also woke Zheng Zhou up.

You want to ask why Zheng Zhou's wife understands something, but other people don't?

That's a bit nonsense.

Many people don't understand, but they don't dare to say it.

What kind of person is Zheng Zhou? ?

When he was a teacher at the Imperial Capital Film Academy, he was quite strict, and many times the more successful people were, the less likely they would listen to others' advice.

The reason is simple. If they could listen to others' advice, then perhaps they would not necessarily succeed.

Just like Lin Xing, if Lin Xing listened to others' advice and didn't take the role when filming "Sweeping Black Waves", or if he listened to everyone's advice and didn't audition when filming "Never Breaking Line", or even listened to others' advice when filming "Sunspots", then he really had nothing to do with the 2 billion yuan of this movie.

In short, it's hard to say that Zheng Zhou did something wrong, and many artists are like this. When they are in a high position, they will not listen to any opinions.

Some people want to praise you to death, some people want to suck you, and some people just want to rub you. Anyway, no one really cares about how you live.

Only your other half, this is not because of the so-called love or something, but mainly because husband and wife belong to the same rise and fall.

It was precisely because Zheng Zhou heard his wife's advice that he simply gave up writing the script and directly bought the copyright of "The Age of Fighting" written by female writer Mu Shuang.

At the same time, Zheng Zhou even let Mu Shuang join the screenwriter team, and personally invited his good friend, the great screenwriter Tang Zhong, to be the chief screenwriter.

Tang Zhong is in charge of the screenwriter lineup. In short, Zheng Zhou really learned a lesson this time. He will not interfere with the script.

He directly plays the second male lead on one hand and acts as a producer on the other.

That's right.

This time Zheng Zhou is not going to carry the show himself. What he needs now is not to prove that he can be the first male lead, but to prove that he has acting skills and prove that the dramas he shoots are not always flops.

In this way, Zheng Zhou can play a relatively good second male lead, and then let the first male lead carry the show and the ratings.

This is actually very normal in the TV series or movie industry.

Basically, the old actors can come to play supporting roles for you, but you must give the old actors a good personality and a brilliant role.

This is also a kind of transaction.

With this script of "The Age of Struggle", Zheng Zhou can completely find any other so-called top stars. Don't worry, a lot of top stars are eager to act.

This script is a serious drama.

Who doesn't want to be on it? ?

But these people don't have a real reputation among passers-by, and even their acting skills will be completely inferior to those of veteran actors, and it's easy for them to steal the show.

Of course, they don't have the ability to carry a drama.

Otherwise, why did Zheng Zhou choose Lin Xing? ?

Because Lin Xing is the safest one at present, no one else.

Among the artists of the same level as Lin Xing, no one is as stable as Lin Xing.

Zheng Zhou is not a fool? ?

Otherwise, why did he just ignore He Canjun completely in the backstage of CCTV studio?

It's because although He Canjun also plays a serious drama, apart from acting skills and carrying a drama, He Canjun is really completely unqualified.

More importantly, Zheng Zhou doesn't like this He Canjun. He knows that this He Canjun is a typical flatterer, which is normal in the entertainment industry, but He Canjun has gone too far.

He stabbed almost all of his benefactors and girlfriends, which was too opportunistic. Zheng Zhou knew about it because one of his students was Zheng Zhou's ex-girlfriend.

This student was Zheng Zhou's niece, but no one in the industry knew about it, and He Canjun certainly didn't know it, otherwise he wouldn't dare to do it even if he had ten guts.

Many times, you may be cheated if you treat people with sincerity, but you can also make friends with sincere people. What's more, everyone in the entertainment industry is not a fool. Who would be willing to play with you if you flatter the high and trample the low every day? ?

At least Zheng Zhou has already blocked He Canjun in his heart. In short, there is only one sentence: "Don't get involved."

Of course, if He Canjun really has the appeal of ratings and box office like Lin Xing, then Zheng Zhou will naturally not have this attitude.

In a word, there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this entertainment industry. Everything depends on interests.

Lin Xing is a popular star now, so Zheng Zhou treats Lin Xing as a peer. He doesn't act like a father or a teacher, and even puts on a humble attitude.

It's obvious that Zheng Zhou needs Lin Xing. He knows how many big directors and even big-budget scripts want to invite Lin Xing.

This circle is like this.

After you become famous, you will have countless scripts to choose from. If you hit the market on your own, no one will dare to use you, and no one will even dare to cooperate with you.

Zheng Zhou is in such a situation now.

People who carry dramas don't want to play Zheng Zhou's male lead. You must know that actors in this category of dramas have too many choices. Why should they choose a drama that Zheng Zhou has already starred in several times? ?

Just so, Zheng Zhou was indeed sincere this time, and he even used his personal connections to invite Meng Da, Wu Tingting, and Shen Zhong to be the leading actors.

In addition, there are a number of other actors who are all good at acting. Some are from the Imperial Film Academy, and some are from the Renyi Theater. All in all, their acting skills are quite strong.

At least there is no problem with the lineup of "The Age of Fighting".

Moreover, Zheng Zhou didn't even ask his second male character to add any extra scenes. He just wanted to tell Lin Xing that he would never add or change scenes randomly. Everything was for the sake of the show.

The most important thing is that your character Lin Xing has great potential for growth.

You must know that this character belongs to a child from a poor family. He just happened to catch up with the country's resumption of the college entrance examination, and then he seized the opportunity of fate, and at the same time, he grew up step by step to become a man of the hour.

This kind of growth line should not be too challenging for Lin Xing. In other words, after Lin Xing played a character like "Never Stop", subsequent roles should not be too difficult for him.

This can even be said to be within Lin Xing's comfort zone.

However, Zheng Zhou could not guarantee that Lin Xing would participate in the show. You must know that Lin Xing is not lacking in such scripts. The only thing he is looking forward to now is that as rumored, Lin Xing really likes acting.

If he likes acting, then he will definitely be interested in the role of Su Yunfeng in "The Age of Fighting".

But Zheng Zhou always felt that this was Lin Xing's character. You must know that there are decent so-called drama fans and even drama lunatics in the entertainment industry, but everyone still needs money.

Just like He Canjun, he obviously wants to be famous more than anyone else, but in the end, the character he created does not want to be too famous, but just wants to act quietly.

If you stay in the entertainment industry for a long time, you will find that there are no good people in this industry.

Zheng Zhou can still see this clearly.

For this reason, he looked at Lin Xing meditating and continued hurriedly: "Axing, this script is just a first draft. If you have any other ideas about this script, you can mention it. Even if you have any ideas about the female lead, If you have other ideas, you can choose according to your own preferences..."

Obviously, Zheng Zhou is now in one sentence.

If Lin Xing agrees to participate in this TV series, then he can choose any role he wants.

"Brother Zhou, I think the script is quite solid, and Teacher Tang wrote it very well, so I don't need to fiddle with it."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "So I really don't have any ideas about this script. As for the female lead, I actually can't think of anyone to play it for a while, so you just decide."

Zheng Zhou looked at Lin Xing excitedly and said, "So, you have decided to act in this drama?"

“When will this drama start filming??”

Lin Xing did not agree directly, he just asked.

"Now the script is almost completed, and the actors are almost invited. As long as you are willing to participate, the filming will start whenever you say."

Zheng Zhou said directly to Lin Xing.

This is top-notch treatment.

It's all up to you.

"It definitely won't work a year ago. After all, we have to rehearse for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and I still need to read the original work again and do some homework. How about waiting after the Lantern Festival?"

Lin Xing said to Zheng Zhou, "You can turn it on whenever it's convenient for you. I'll save the schedule."

"OK, no problem."

Zheng Zhou said directly and excitedly.

If Lin Xing participates in this drama, the rating of the entire drama will be directly S+. Even the major video websites may not be very interested in it before, but this time when they knew that Lin Xing was participating, they were all interested in it no matter what. They won't be interested anymore.

This time "The Age of Fighting" may really depend on Lin Xing to drive it.

However, Zheng Zhou's current self-confidence is still very high. He feels that no matter what, his chances with this drama will be huge.

Next came the issue of contract signing. Lin Xing left it directly to Ding Chunling to negotiate. Whether it was the salary or other conditions, it was all left to Ding Chunling to negotiate.

As for Lin Xing, he continued to rehearse for the Spring Festival Gala on the one hand, and read the script of "The Age of Fighting" on the other hand. In the middle, He Canjun came to Lin Xing to test it out, but Lin Xing dismissed him directly.

Everything is still centered on the Spring Festival Gala.

And this time, the most difficult thing about the Spring Festival Gala is not actually singing. After all, it’s all lip-synching, right? ?

What is really needed is for everyone to move.

Not only Lin Xing, but also others.

As the Spring Festival Gala approaches, many actors naturally become more and more nervous.

On the first day of the Spring Festival Gala, Lin Xing, Luan Duo, and He Canjun were interviewed at the same time. To be honest, Lin Xing was the biggest one, so He Canjun smiled during the interview: "I have already made an agreement with Luan Duo. When we are on stage during the Spring Festival Gala, everything depends on Brother Xing’s arrangement. If we get nervous, Brother Xing will bring us back..."

At this time, the pressure came to Lin Xing.

It was obvious that He Canjun was really a bit of a jerk. He was the first to shirk the blame. Anyway, if the sky fell, there would be someone taller to support him. At the same time, he pretended to be a little naive and looked at Lin Xing.

You are already in your 30s, why are you acting so cute? ?

Moreover, He Canjun seemed to be stealing the show during the interview. He seemed to be the spokesperson of the group, and everything he said was in official terms and clichés, one after another.

Even recently, He Canjun has uploaded a lot of videos of collaborations with Lin Xing and Luan Duo on his social platform, focusing on one of them who seems to have a close relationship with them.

And tomorrow is the Spring Festival Gala. Today, He Canjun stopped pretending and said everything depends on Lin Xing.

Put the pressure on first.

The most important thing is that He Canjun said it in a joking tone. You really can't take it seriously.

In the workplace, this kind of person is also the most hated.

Even if something goes wrong, he will definitely throw away all the blame, but if there is credit, he will definitely take the credit first.

No, this is what He Canjun is doing now.

"I think what Can Jun said is indeed right. The three of us also said it privately. When we go on stage, we try to use our peripheral vision to coordinate when singing. And I think everyone has been rehearsing for a long time, and the positions are basically I’ve memorized it too…”

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Now I am obviously more excited than stressed. This stage is what I enjoyed when I was a child. For example, those of us born in the 90s grew up watching the Spring Festival Gala. Our childhood is inseparable from the Spring Festival Gala. It is a great honor for me to be able to stand on this stage now, so I hope that we can present the most exciting stage to everyone tomorrow night in front of the national audience..."

…

I have to say that Lin Xing’s interview was quite good.

At present, what is online about this year's Spring Festival Gala is not about expectations, but has become a habit. Even if you don't like watching the Spring Festival Gala very much, even if the Spring Festival Gala is not funny, you will still open it on New Year's Eve. Spring Festival Gala.

Even more people like to be angry online. After all, direct complaints are easy to get your account blocked.

Today, many Lin Xing fans are waiting in front of the TV, waiting for Lin Xing's appearance.

The same is true for Zeng Li.

She did not go back to her hometown this year because she would be forced to get married by her parents when she returned, and she would also have to pay New Year's greetings and visit meaningless relatives. Instead of doing that, she might as well stay in the imperial capital.

Whether it was the opening remarks of the Spring Festival Gala, the cross talk or the sketch that followed, it was basically as expected by Zeng Li.

When Lin Xing appeared on the CCTV stage, Zeng Li looked at He Canjun in shock.

Is this stealing the show?
