Chapter 428 Celebration, Science Fiction? ?

Lin Xing followed the road show of "Killing Ading" throughout the whole process, especially he also experienced life by himself for three months. Many people did not expect Lin Xing to work so hard.

No one expected that the road show of "Killing Ading" was a 24-hour non-stop live broadcast. This desperate road show made the box office of "Killing Ading" finally exceed 100 million, which surprised many people.

Then, many people questioned that Lin Xing took the movie "Sunspots" just to win awards, but the movie broke 2 billion, and during the road show, Lin Xing almost held up the scene alone.

Why did many people want to invite Lin Xing to make a movie after the movie "Sunspots" became a big hit? ?

Even many big directors specially invited Lin Xing to play a role. Although the male lead could not be given to Lin Xing, it would definitely make Lin Xing shine. This is because they saw the added value of Lin Xing.

At that time, many people joked that Lin Xing almost did three or four jobs for one salary.

Even if Lin Xing's salary is sky-high, this sky-high price is too damn worth it.

Apart from other things, Lin Xing alone can spend tens of millions on publicity and promotion.

But many people still greatly underestimate Lin Xing's ability, and even greatly underestimate Lin Xing's box office appeal.

Everyone knows that TV actors have no box office appeal. Many TV actors, even if they are the top brothers and sisters, have very poor box office performances in movies.

There are very few people who can dominate both TV and movie circles.

But Lin Xing happens to be such a person.

In the past month, to be exact, since the official release of "Going to Heaven" on April 2, the entire industry was almost in a state of confusion throughout April, plus the May Day holiday.

You thought Lin Xing was awesome, but you never thought that Lin Xing would be so awesome.

This is unscientific.

Even the Sixth Princess interviewed Lin Xing five times in a row, and wrote two reports about "Going to Heaven" in [Film News] and [Film Weekly].

Content is king.

This is the sentence Lin Xing said most often when he was interviewed.

In Lin Xing's view, domestic audiences have suffered from [content] for too long.

It's not just movies, it's the same for TV series. Many TV series nowadays are short videos, and even they don't start from the content. They just treat movies and TV series as commodities.

How to package commodities?

How to find selling points from commodities? ?

How to make the audience pay for this commodity? ?

This is also why someone asked Lin Xing this question during the previous road show.

Many movies have high box office, but people just stop discussing them after watching them, and it seems that there is no such movie, but the long tail effect of "Going to Heaven" is so long? ?

In this regard, Lin Xing's answer is also very sincere, that is, content is king, and the most important thing for a filmmaker is to shoot good content, because the audience knows how to appreciate the level.

Just like a dish, did you make it with your heart? Are you fooling around? ?

The audience can see it.

Many times, you can fool the audience once, and even let the audience pay for the feelings, but it will not happen again.

Just like the former comedy king Chu Xingrui, decades ago, he was a rare comedy genius, and his comedy was unique. At that time, in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, there could only be one comedy king, Chu Xingrui.

He is not just an actor. Later, the several movies he directed set countless records.

Let's put it this way, Chu Xingrui has accompanied at least three generations of people in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and for those born in the 80s and 90s, Chu Xingrui is everyone's god.

Because many people watched Chu Xingrui's pirated optical films at that time, so later as the Internet gradually developed and entered a new era, everyone said that we owed Chu a movie ticket.

And Chu Xingrui is really good enough. He basically has multiple roles in a movie, starring, directing, screenwriter, supervisor, general producer, producer, etc., and he checks every movie.

But people will get old, and you may not feel this kind of oldness yourself, or you don't feel it slowly, but suddenly one day, you find that you are completely eliminated by the times.

But the more talented one is, the more likely one is to be paranoid, just like Chu Xingrui. The little people he used to shoot could completely resonate with everyone, but later he gradually began to change.

Even when Chu Xingrui was rising in the traffic era in those years, he actually started to use traffic artists.

So one movie was not as good as another.

At this time, the audience would only say: "I don't owe Chu Shen movie tickets anymore, and my money is not blown by the wind."

In addition to Chu Xingrui, there is also the Kung Fu Emperor Chen Sheng, who is now not as good as another movie. The audience even said: "Brother Sheng, please retire, don't lose your integrity in your later years."

Therefore, indefinitely overdrawing the audience can only be abandoned by the audience in the end.

Among them, Wang Ruoan is another exception. Many people once said that Wang Ruoan was hypocritical, that Wang Ruoan couldn't sing, and that Wang Ruoan's acting was not good.

But nearly 40 years have passed, and Wang Ruoan has become a perennial in the music industry and a movie emperor in the film industry. The most important thing is that his works are not rubbish, and he continues to produce classic films.

Wang Ruoan is so careful about his reputation, which is rare in the entire film industry.

Just like many people said Wang Ruoan was a bit lazy before, but Wang Ruoan has been doing it for nearly 40 years.

Who the hell can do it for so long? ?

It is also because of this that when people mocked Lin Xing for pretending, many people used Wang Ruoan as an example.

Some people even said that this Lin Xing is the little Wang Ruoan.

You know, when Wang Ruoan first debuted, he was really handsome, but his acting skills were also quite embarrassing.

But later, Wang Ruoan relied on his own efforts and then won the Best Actor award little by little.

He is handsome, but hardworking, especially Wang Ruoan's extremely strong self-control. There are no more than ten such self-control in the entire entertainment industry.

Look at Lin Xing's resume again, isn't it almost the same? ?

Of course, Wang Ruoan has never failed. He has been popular for nearly 40 years.

So when Lin Xing learned that he was compared to the little Wang Ruoan, Lin Xing quickly waved his hand and said: "This can't be said. I am far behind Brother An."

This is really not modesty.

Lin Xing really feels that he is far behind Wang Ruoan.

Just like many people said before that it is too difficult to stay popular in this industry. Even Chu Shen eventually ran out of ideas, let alone other people? ?

Although many people say that flowing water does not compete for the first place, but competes for continuous flow.

But if you look at the entire entertainment industry, who can stay popular? ? ?

Too few.

Whether it is an actor or a singer, there are very few who can stay popular. Many of them may not know what happened and become out of date, and are eliminated by this market.

Because of this, many people advised Lin Xing to take advantage of his current popularity and find ways to make more money.

If you don’t make money when you are popular, then when will you make money? ?

In this regard, Lin Xing really doesn’t care.

What money to make? ?

Lin Xing doesn’t dislike money, but he thinks that you have to do your job well before making money.

Besides, being an actor is so interesting. You can experience the joys and sorrows of each role. Every time Lin Xing finishes a role, he feels as if he has experienced a lifetime.

As for making money?

You've lived your whole life and you're still keeping an eye on money? ?

How is that possible?

Besides, Lin Xing doesn't need to be rich now, because no matter how rich he is, he's not as rich as his friends.

Originally, he only had one friend, Xin Hui. After all, Xin Hui always said during interviews: "I don't care if my friends are rich or not, after all, who can be richer than me?"

Now, because of the movie "Going to Heaven", he has another friend, Liang Yuan.

So what can I say? ? ?

Xin Hui is already a loser, but Liang Yuan is even more of a loser among losers.

You have to know that Xin Hui doesn't have many hobbies. He mainly wanted to start a business before. Well, his parents wanted to start another one after he started a business.

After all, if Xin Hui started a business like this, his family wouldn't be able to afford it.

On the contrary, Liang Yuan has more hobbies, like fishing, being a drama critic, reading online articles, watching anchors, doing live broadcasts, etc.

Anyway, this guy starts with a reward of '10,000' when reading online articles, and the same is true for watching anchors.

He is a real money-spending boy.

It can even be said that it is a hobby, and he wants to try more.

It is precisely because of this that when he saw that Xin Hui actually invested in film and television dramas, Liang Yuan wanted to try it out.

Of course, compared with Xin Hui's lack of experience, Liang Yuan is really more experienced. In recent years, major film and television companies have tried to trick him into investing, and even online writing companies hope that he, the sponsor, can invest.

However, Liang Yuan declined politely because he heard Xin Hui say more than once that this circle is too rip-off.

Moreover, think about how much money Xin Hui has been ripped off.

Therefore, Liang Yuan would rather give the money to online writers or anchors if he has that money.

As a result, when Xin Hui invested in "Killing Ading" and gained fame and fortune, Liang Yuan wanted to try it out.

After all, tens of millions is just pocket money.

Even during the filming of "Going to Heaven", Liang Yuan really felt that the money spent was too little.

No need to save money for me.

But Liang Yuan is a drama critic and film critic after all. He also reads online articles and even entertainment articles, so he understands the value of a movie that breaks 3 billion.

Because of this, Liang Yuan really took full responsibility for the celebration banquet this time.

"This little money is nothing."

Liang Yuan said: "After all, we can't do anything. It seems that there is no other way to promote us except to spend money. And I feel a little bored after following a few roadshows, but I can't imagine how much energy you have, Brother Xing, it's too difficult..."

Liang Yuan really thought that roadshows were just eating, drinking and having fun at first. What's the big deal? ? ?

As a result, when Liang Yuan was really on the roadshow, he deeply understood that this was simply suffering.

You have to know that roadshows are like a wheel turning, and you run the east side in the morning, and you may have to run the west side in the afternoon.

Not to mention that they might have to rush to another city overnight.

Not only that, but the interviews need to be one after another. You have to know that Lin Xing is the leading actor in "Going to Heaven". Apart from him, the roles of other people are not that big.

"Going to Heaven" can even be considered a unit film.

After all, many actors still have their own dramas to shoot, so it is unrealistic to ask them to follow the road show all the way to the end.

Therefore, most actors are interviewed one segment at a time.

Of course, these actors are quite satisfied. After all, Liang Yuan and Xin Hui care least about money.

They really give all kinds of money to these actors.

You know, for young actors, or for minor actors, 10,000 yuan can improve their lives.

After all, they often don’t have thousands of yuan a month because they have no movies to shoot.

Everyone insists on doing it for a dream.

The dream of being an actor.

But the waves wash away the sand. In these years, there has never been an actor who has become a pure civilian actor. Now there are all kinds of Romans.

There is no way.

Some people are born in Rome, and some people can only be cattle and horses.

But the same thing is true, which circle does not have Romans? ?

Even competitive sports like the Olympics have Romans coming in, not to mention other circles.

So, everyone in the entertainment industry is waiting, or even waiting for an opportunity, which is a gamble.

But to be honest, who is not gambling? ?

It's not just the actors who are gambling, but the directors are also gambling. To be honest, many directors don't have all kinds of investments like those famous directors. Even if these famous directors fail in two movies, people will still invest in them.

But ordinary directors are different. Look at Dai An. What was his situation after the consecutive failures?

Even his own teacher was unwilling to help him.

Look at Qi Ning again. If he hadn't met Lin Xing, how could he have attracted such a large investment? ?

In comparison, just like Ouyang Qing who banned Qi Ning, even if he failed in a few movies, his movies would never lack investment.

It can even be said that some mission dramas often really need Ouyang Qing to shoot.

But other directors don't have this opportunity.

Even if some directors have proved themselves, they can only shoot the same type, otherwise it will be difficult for people to invest in cross-types.

Just like Sun Feng who came to the celebration banquet of "Going to Heaven" today, his last movie was a comedy romance, which was a small bet and won 300 million box office.

Then, the investors and other people all wanted Sun Feng to continue making this type of movie, but who would have thought that Sun Feng would actually make a science fiction movie.

This made everyone think that Sun Feng was crazy? ?

The door to science fiction movies was already closed by the movie "The Fall of the Demon City" eight years ago.
