Chapter 436 Don’t Be Honest in Your Circle

Feelings often come out of nowhere, and it takes time to see people's hearts.

Many times you need to feel it through things.

Just like Liang Yuan, he has known Xin Hui for a long time, and they even said they have known each other since they were children. After all, his parents and Xin Hui's parents have known each other for a long time.

But later on, the two people took completely different directions.

In fact, Xin Hui does not have this awareness. He just wants to start a business to prove himself that he is not a rich second generation with no merits.

But after Liang Yuan's parents saw Xin Hui's business losses, they told Liang Yuan not to imitate Xin Hui. As long as you eat, drink and have fun, we are better than the old Xin family.

In fact, because the old Liang family and the old Xin family have been competing with each other all their lives, Liang Yuan has always been forced by his parents to do things better than Xin Hui.

Just like Xin Hui suddenly succeeded in starting a business, or he suddenly took off thanks to Lin Xing, this made the old Liang family unhappy. They felt that Xin Hui had succeeded in starting a business, so could our Liang Yuan.

Hence the investment in the movie "Going to Heaven".

Liang Yuan had his own ideas. His willingness to invest in "Going to Heaven" was far from what Xin Hui said, or he believed in Lin Xing and believed that Lin Xing could create miracles.

On the contrary, Liang Yuan believed that Lin Xing had the foundation of the first two movies, so this one would not be too bad no matter what.

There is also a loss of tens of millions. Liang Yuan believes that he can definitely make a wave of popularity.

The result is that "Going to Heaven" far exceeded Liang Yuan's expectations. Liang Yuan originally thought that the film would break the sky if it reached 300 million, but he never expected that it would break 3 billion.

This made Liang Yuan praised by his parents.

My son is better than the boys from Lao Xin’s family.

At the same time, Liang's father did not forget to tell Liang Yuan not to be emotional in the investment industry. People like Xin Hui will fall over sooner or later.

Liang Yuan also recognized this.

This is also the reason why he did not invest in Sun Feng's science fiction movie. You must know that Liang Yuan and the author of "Dead on Earth" are also good friends. Xin Hui may invest in it no matter how much.

But Liang Yuan would never invest. Not only did he not invest, he also told Xin Hui in detail about the market for science fiction movies and asked Xin Hui not to invest either.

This was the reason why Sun Feng was rejected by both Xin Hui and Liang Yuan at the celebration banquet.

But what Liang Yuan didn't expect was that as soon as Lin Xing mentioned investing, Xin Hui was ready to invest directly.

And Xin Hui was not polite. He directly told Liang Yuan that each of us should invest 100 million in this movie.

One hundred million.

Xin Hui seemed to be talking about a few hundred yuan so casually and easily, because in his opinion, this was what Lin Xing wanted to shoot, so what else did he need to consider? ?

Xin Hui even thinks that Liang Yuan will do the same, and the two of them will support Lin Xing like they did in "Going to Heaven".

Two hundred million.

The two of them can completely support the investment in "Death on Earth".

As for the follow-up, if it is not enough, then just pay more.

If 200 million is not enough, just 300 million; if 300 million is not enough, just 400 million.

This is nothing more than tightening the belt.

But what Xin Hui didn't expect was that Liang Yuan refused.

He asked Xin Hui if he knew that the 100 million investment might be in vain.

Unexpectedly, Xin Hui said in an understatement: "It's just a waste of time."

Liang Yuan thought this was a big pit.

You have to say that it really doesn't matter if it's 10 to 20 million, just play it for a while, and you won't feel bad if it's really wasted.

But 100 million, Liang Yuan felt that even if he earned a lot from "Going to Heaven", he didn't want to spend it.

What's more, he doesn't want to be a fool.

It's obviously wasted, why do you have to throw away this money? ?

For this reason, Liang Yuan was willing to invest 10 million, but Xin Hui directly said no.

After listening to Xin Hui talk about the matter, Lin Xing felt quite calm.

He didn't have much hope for Liang Yuan from beginning to end. Besides, whose money was blown by the strong wind? ?

"I'm not angry, I really didn't expect Liang Yuan to be such a person. I always felt that I knew him quite well..."

Xin Hui said angrily: "What's more, the movie "Going to Heaven" earned him at least 300 million. What happened to him taking out some money???"

Lin Xing shook his head and said: "That's not what you said. One code is the same, and there is no need to say it. Besides, no one knew that "Going to Heaven" would be such a hit..."

Friendship is friendship, business is business.

It just depends on the size of the friendship, and this needs to be seen one by one.

Just like Zheng Zhou, he clearly didn't like this science fiction movie, but he still took out 5 million.

But if you look at Bo Hai and Yi Ying, who were very good people before, they just didn't even save face.

At least Liang Yuan is willing to look good.

As for disappointment?

It’s really out of the question.

Because Lin Xing never had too much hope for others, he always believed that he had to rely on himself to be a good person.

So why is someone like Xin Hui a close friend?

Because there is only one person like Xin Hui.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, I will always take care of it for you."

Xin Hui said: "It doesn't matter if Liang Yuan doesn't invest. I'll just use all the money I earned from "Going to Heaven". It's enough no matter what."

"Don't worry, the cake cannot be eaten by one person, and the risk cannot be borne by one person."

Lin Xing waved his hand slightly and said, "Next, I will meet with Sun Feng and Wei Fei first and then talk about other things."

The next day, Sun Feng was like a frost-bitten eggplant because several actors ran away.

Yes.

They had said good things before, but when they really thought that Sun Feng had prepared a science fiction movie, they all started to back off.

The reason is simple.

"They all thought that I couldn't prepare a science fiction movie well, and they even thought that I couldn't start shooting this science fiction movie smoothly, so they all agreed to it very happily."

Sun Feng said angrily, "I really regarded a few of them as friends, but it turned out to be like this."

"Sun Feng, you are still so honest."

Wei Fei said with some amusement, "In our circle, even if you sign a contract, you can still run away. What's the use of your verbal promise?"

"I just didn't expect these people to stand me up..."

Sun Feng said helplessly, "I thought all the actors were selected, but now it seems that I have to start all over again."

"That's normal."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Actors need to be selected from various levels, and it's better to run away before filming starts than to run away during filming."

"That's right."

Sun Feng said embarrassedly: "But we need to start all over again."

"It doesn't matter, let's start casting first, and the investment is almost done..."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Don't think too much about the investment money for the time being, but I hope the production cost can be controlled within 200 million as much as possible. For our first film, we should spend the money as much as possible."

"Absolutely no problem."

When Sun Feng heard that the production cost was 200 million, he almost screamed, you know, he didn't even dare to think about this production cost.

"Talk to Sister Fei about the rest, I'll talk to a few actors first..."

Lin Xing said to Sun Feng and Wei Fei.

As for the casting of actors, Lin Xing actually had some ideas in his mind when he saw the script.

It's no problem for him to play one of the protagonists, and there are a few other roles besides.

According to the script, the character Lin Xing has a master, and this master actually does everything possible to protect the character Lin Xing.

Although there is a generation difference, Lin Xing thinks that it is not a big problem for Guan Peng to play this role.

"Okay, no problem, tell me when you start shooting in advance, I have to keep the schedule, after all, your brother Guan is also a little famous now..."

After listening to Lin Xing, Guan Peng smiled and said, "Just give me the script later. If you say it is suitable for me, then it must be right."

"Okay."

Lin Xing nodded gently.

In addition to Guan Peng, Lin Xing wants to ask An Yifeng to play the role of the heroine.

You must know that this heroine is the wife of the character played by Lin Xing, and there are also some fighting scenes.

There is absolutely no problem with An Yifeng.

As a result, when Lin Xing met An Yifeng, before he could say anything, An Yifeng's mother had already declined on her behalf.

Because An Yifeng had already received the leading female role in another big drama, this drama was played by two movie emperors and several movie queens.

Anyway, you can tell no matter how you choose.

"Okay, then we'll work together again if we have a chance in the future."

Lin Xing said with a smile. He was not angry, because he really thought that this role could really open up An Yifeng's acting career.

But An Yifeng's mother obviously chose a more stable path, and An Yifeng, who was so old, actually listened to her mother.

It really surprised Lin Xing a little.

He felt that people were multifaceted. Before this, he really only thought that An Yifeng was the kind of actress with personality who would not turn back until she hit the south wall, and would not turn back even if she hit the south wall.

Now it seems that she is still a mama's boy.

Next, Lin Xing talked about this matter with Tang Yishan again.

Yeah.

Tang Yishan had a lot of things to say. She wanted to take it, but her agent thought that science fiction movies were really not good, and was afraid that she would fail in the initial film industry, so she could only decline.

That's it.

Lin Xing called Ding Chunling, and he now understood that sometimes the more famous a person is, the easier it is to be bound.

In this case, can I find a young actor? ?

"Help me find a female artist who is an action star but also has acting skills, right..."

Lin Xing directly told Ding Chunling about his idea: "And I have to try out a play."

After listening to Lin Xing's request, Ding Chunling directly said the names of three people.

These three people are all small actors in the entertainment industry. They have works, but they are not popular, not famous, and even have no fans.

"Let them come for an interview one by one."

Lin Xing thought about it at this time.

You know what, these three people graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Theatre Academy, and Beijing Film Academy respectively.

Among the three people, the one who graduated from Beijing Film Academy is called Li Qian. She has almost filmed many leading roles in this circle, but there is no way, she is not famous.

Moreover, Li Qian debuted as an action star when she was young. Although she has no martial arts skills, she is still pretty good after learning for a few years.

In addition, Li Qian's acting skills are naturally good.

Lin Xing thought that this is also his junior sister, so he tried Li Qian first.

So what can I say? ?

Li Qian's acting skills are not good enough, and her skills are also a little bit off.

"I hope to cooperate again in the future, but Li Qian, let me give you a suggestion, that is, when you accept a film in the future, don't think about the protagonist..."

Lin Xing read some of Li Qian's resume.

Li Qian's acting skills were very strong before, but her poor acting skills are due to the fact that she has acted in a lot of bad movies in the past few years.

Oftentimes there is a price to pay for being in a bad movie.

Because it is difficult for people to work hard upwards, but it is very easy to lie flat or fool around downwards.

Just like Li Qian, she realized that no matter how she took the photo, no one would see her. In this case, she might as well just fool around.

Of course, the price for being fooled is that her acting skills are now showing a visible decline.

Of course, Lin Xing did not stand and talk without back pain, because he knew how difficult it was.

Many times actors have no choice, but actors can control their work attitude.

This is what Lin Xing told Li Qian.

Then there is Yao Ni, who is in the drama. In fact, Yao Ni has no problem with her acting skills and her kung fu is good, but her appearance is too sweet.

Belongs to the sweet girl type.

The heroine of "Death on Earth" must have some heroic looks, but Yao Ni is not suitable for this.

Next up is Chen Ning, who has also appeared in countless film and television dramas, but most of them were small roles.

Of course, this shows the difference between Chen Ning and Li Qian.

Chen Ning takes every role very seriously, so her acting skills are improving again and again.

"That's it."

Lin Xing said to Chen Ning: "Go back and read the original novel "Death on Earth", and then write as many biographies of the heroine as possible, and at the same time read the script again..."

At this point, Lin Xing thought for a while and then warned: "Next, we may join the group for training in advance..."

Chen Ning was a little confused at this time, or she had been confused since she received the call from Ding Chunling.

For many well-known actors, they certainly feel that science fiction movies are unreliable.

But for young actors, as long as there is a good role, they are willing to risk everything to participate.

Not to mention such a big production.

Many big actors can't afford to take risks, but for young actors, it's worth taking even one ten thousandth risk for such a big production.

So Chen Ning really wanted to succeed in the audition, but she never expected that she would win so easily.

She didn't even react after leaving Lin Xing's studio. She couldn't wait to call her agent.
