Chapter 452 This Is the Protagonist's Halo

It is no accident that Wang Ruoan has been so popular, especially when he was an idol singer.

At that time, there were kings, queens, dance kings, singing gods, etc. in the same period. It can be said that compared with the current music scene, that was the era of gods fighting.

Wang Ruoan was able to fight out of that era and step by step to the top of the king, relying on strong self-control and vision.

That's right.

If you want to talk about talent, Wang Ruoan is definitely not the best in singing. Even at his age, he can't even be ranked in the top five, but he has been singing until now, and his singing skills are as stable as ever.

As for the singers of the same period, some retired, some became outdated, and some disappeared. Even though Wang Ruoan is 65 years old now, it is still difficult to get tickets for his concerts.

Look at the artists of the same period as him. Even the various kings and queens who were once popular in the streets and alleys, many tickets are no longer selling.

But Wang Ruoan is really admired not only in the music scene, but in the film scene.

Back then, Wang Ruoan was an idol singer, but in today's words, Wang Ruoan is even more of a fresh meat.

He has always been good at singing and acting. Why is Wang Ruoan a model worker? Because he was not very good at singing and acting in the early stage, and he won by quantity.

He started to play his first TV series at the age of 20, and then he started to play supporting roles in various movies at the age of 23, until he started to play the leading role at the age of 25.

But Wang Ruoan has always been suppressed by Xie Ming, Fang Lei, Guo Dong, Chu Xingrui and others. This kind of suppression means that when Wang Ruoan plays with them, he always loses.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ruoan has been criticized by everyone, saying that he is not good at acting and singing and relies on marketing.

Why is Wang Ruoan hypocritical?

In fact, this is what it means, because Wang Ruoan has created a perfect personality in various ways. Isn't this a packaged star?

But 35 years have passed, and too many artists of the same period as Wang Ruoan have fallen behind. I just talked about the music industry, but the same is true for the film industry. Even Chu Xingrui, who was called Chu God back then, hasn't had any works for a long time? ?

But Wang Ruoan still maintains a high output rate, and his works are large in quantity. Because of the large quantity, there is always one that can become famous.

More importantly, Wang Ruoan is not like Chen Sheng and Chu Xingrui who are high and mighty. He is quite humble.

Over the years, Wang Ruoan has promoted many new directors, and even been cheated, but he is always willing to promote them.

But look at Chu Xingrui, he never goes to other movies to make cameos. Even Ouyang Qing scolded Chu Xingrui back then. He thought Chu Xingrui was completely unmanly. I helped him, but I asked him to make a cameo in my movie and he refused.

This is still Ouyang Qing. If it were someone else, Chu Xingrui would not even bother.

As for Chen Sheng, it's almost the same, because he feels that his current position is not suitable.

But Wang Ruoan is different. He is willing to try more. He even often takes care of some outdated artists and often introduces some roles for them to play.

Because of this, Wang Ruoan has a great reputation in the whole circle. Almost all directors, actors and producers praise him.

Of course, because of this, Wang Ruoan has been cheated by many people.

Otherwise, why does he have so many bad movies?

Many of them are due to human relationships, and some are obviously given good scripts, but they become so bad during the filming.

Wang Ruoan's agent has seen a lot of these, so most of the time the agent will stop them.

There are too many scammers in the entertainment industry. Some cheat for money, some cheat for sex, and some just use a broken script to make a classic to become famous.

Because of this, Wang Ruoan's agent looked at Lin Xing as if he was a big liar.

So he couldn't help but persuade Wang Ruoan as soon as Lin Xing left.

But seeing Wang Ruoan's moved look, he couldn't help but continue: "Brother An, this science fiction movie is really dead. Look at Xie Ming who filmed "The Fall of the Demon City", and he is still being ridiculed now."

Said that the agent of other people was worried that Wang Ruoan would not take it seriously, so Wang Ruoan simply said Xie Ming.

After all, Wang Ruoan and Xie Ming were rivals in the film industry back then.

You should know that Wang Ruoan lost to Xie Ming in all the major film festivals in the Best Actor category.

As the highest award in the film industry, the Golden Dragon Award, Wang Ruoan was nominated six times and lost all six times. It took him 25 years to win the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor with the art film "Echo".

Before that, not only the Golden Dragon Award, but also the Hundred Flowers Award, he had never won it, and the other two highly valuable Golden Tiger and Golden Sea Awards had not been won either.

Why else do many people think Wang Ruoan is not good enough?

Some people also say that he is an award insulator.

If he didn't win the Best Actor, he would not have a sense of recognition after all.

In Wang Ruoan's opinion, if he only shoots stable and popular movies in the market, he feels that he will never get the Best Actor award in his life.

For this reason, Lin Xing just came to talk to him not about the script, but about feelings, the future, the genre, the future, etc.

There is another point that Lin Xing really hits Wang Ruoan's heart, that is, what Wang Ruoan really needs now is reputation and influence.

But it is too difficult to choose a script with good reputation and influence.

I have said before that this kind of thing is something that can only be encountered but not sought. Who doesn't want to shoot a hit movie? ?

No.

To be precise, who doesn't want to shoot a hit movie with good reputation.

But how is it possible? ?

Today's audiences have low patience, and because short videos often have various climaxes, the audience prefers climaxes that are dense.

Because of this, many film and television dramas are short videos. There is no other way. Otherwise, there will be no box office, but the more this is done, the more boring the audience may find it after watching.

This is a vicious cycle.

But there is no other way. For the sake of box office, many publicity and promotion will do this. Take the recent "A Good Man" as an example. The current publicity and promotion is taking the path of short videos.

Even the publicity is based on the various film and television publicity and promotion that everyone has complained about before.

What is Guo Shi shocked.

You should know that in the past two years, as long as Guo Shi's movies are released, they are basically shocking.

There are also keywords like [How scary is Dong Yang's villain], [How broken Miao Hui's crying is], [Tian Hui is too miserable], etc. to promote videos.

In short, they are videos of more than ten seconds or even more than twenty seconds.

To be honest, these videos are really eye-catching.

But for [Guo Shi shocked], many viewers have been complaining endlessly.

How to say it?

Damn, you are Master Guo, all actors are proud to film your dramas, you have seen so many actors, at this time, you will be shocked by an actor's acting skills? ?

It's too fake.

Just think about it, now even Master Guo is like this, even filming Master Guo's dramas may not be both well-received and box office, you say others don't have to think about it.

There is no 100% sure win.

So Lin Xing has been completely on a roll in the past few years, every TV series has been a success, and every movie has also been a success.

To be honest, this is really a miracle.

It is precisely because it is a miracle that everyone thinks there is no continuity, so this time when Lin Xing was going to film "Death on Earth", many people were not optimistic.

An Yifeng's mother and sister even helped An Yifeng to refuse privately, and Tang Yishan didn't even have a little euphemism. As for the actors who had agreed to Sun Feng before, they all ran away.

Not to mention other factors, after adding them together, Wang Ruoan's agent would definitely not be willing to do this.

There is also a more critical point, that is, Lin Xing just now really looks like a liar.

"I shouldn't."

Wang Ruoan looked at the script, concept map, creative settings, character biography and other pictures left by Lin Xing and shook his head and said: "Didn't you say before that you can cooperate with Lin Xing if you can?"

The agent hurriedly said: "Brother An, I mean to cooperate with other dramas, such as spy wars, literary films, etc. I think..."

"How can the cooperation be as we wish?"

Wang Ruoan shook his head and said: "I think I am very interested in this science fiction movie script, especially the creative settings and wild ideas mentioned by Lin Xing are very attractive to me. Besides, what's wrong with a supporting role?"

Supporting roles don't need to carry the box office.

This is also very suitable for Wang Ruoan.

What's more, Lin Xing just said it very sincerely. There are four results for this movie.

Bad movie, then everyone will only scold Lin Xing.

If it is a good movie, then everyone will praise all artists, and naturally Wang Ruoan will be praised more.

If it is a bad movie + low box office, everyone will only blame Lin Xing.

As for a good movie with low box office, if it is well-received but not popular, everyone will praise Wang Ruoan more.

Anyway, no matter which result you look at, it is beneficial to Wang Ruoan.

Wang Ruoan is a good person, and he has a good character in the industry, but this does not mean that he is stupid.

It can only be said that everyone sees things differently.

On the one hand, Wang Ruoan is interested in Lin Xing as a person, and on the other hand, he is interested in the preparation of "Death on Earth", and more importantly, he is willing to try to lose.

If he loses, he loses.

Wang Ruoan really doesn't have much so-called idol burden. In order to transform himself, he even took the initiative to make himself ugly.

Of course, there is another more important point. Wang Ruoan is already this age. Although he has always maintained a good figure and is even called an ageless idol, he is 65 years old even if he is not old.

Although Wang Ruoan can now play lovers with people in their 20s and 30s, he still wants to play a role that suits him.

Coincidentally, the role of "Death on Earth" is more suitable for him this time, even including the comparison between youth, middle-aged and old age.

In short, Wang Ruoan is willing to try to lose.

If you lose, you lose.

If you want to take risks and gamble, you can't be afraid of failure.

"You don't need to say more."

Wang Ruoan waved his hand slightly and said: "Lin Xing is so young and dares to take such risks, why can't I dare?"

Having said that, the agent stopped persuading him.

As for Wang Ruoan, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Is Lin Xing's short film going to be screened today?"

"Yes, the short film will be officially screened at 2 pm, and Li Jing has invited us."

The agent nodded slightly.

This time, "Jin Yiwei" was screened as the opening ceremony of the short film of the Hundred Flowers Award, and the film company actually attached great importance to it.

To be precise, Li Jing and Situ Hui attached great importance to it.

After all, this short film is a very good recruitment advertisement, and if "The King's Guards" is successful at the opening ceremony of the short film screening at the Hundred Flowers Awards, it will definitely receive good attention.

And although this short film has not been screened yet, Penguin Video has exclusively bought it. It is obvious that Penguin Video made a profit before other video websites responded.

Again, Penguin Video is mainly about Xin Linxing.

You must know that other video websites have little confidence in Li Jing, and more importantly, they also have little confidence in martial arts films.

The martial artist is dead.

This is true.

There is only one martial arts movie currently available, and the most successful box office has never exceeded 300 million.

Even in the past three years, there hasn’t been a single movie that has exceeded 100 million yuan.

Under such circumstances, Li Jing's previous film "Eighteen Heroes of the Republic of China" hit the streets, and even almost withdrew from the industry.

Now I am making a short film like this.

Why is this?

In fact, many people understand that this is for the promotion of the so-called training school, and Situ Hui is a person who does acting training.

Many people didn't understand it before.

Even when Lin Xing talked about how different this martial arts short film was, many people also felt that Lin Xing was a human being.

You must know that Lin Xing is not the leading actor, he is a supporting role.

Today, after the opening ceremony of the Hundred Flowers Awards, Lin Xing walked on the red carpet with everyone from "Jinyiwei" and also responded to this matter.

But more people didn't believe Lin Xing's response.

Not only netizens don’t believe it, but many people in the industry also don’t believe it.

So when they were invited to watch the short film "The Golden Guard", they actually came with a disbelieving attitude.

Li Jing and Situ Hui still have some connections, and more importantly, Lin Xing stars in this short film, so the main creators of "Sunspot" are also here.

However, Lin Xing said hello to both Li Jing and Situ Hui, that is, don't invite people to comment.

no need.

This is a short film, not a movie, not to mention that it will be launched on Penguin Video soon. Whether it is good or not is up to the audience to watch.

Situ Hui and Li Jing also agreed with this.

No, today's screening is just to invite everyone to come and watch it. Even the main creators like Lin Xing didn't come on stage to speak.

Wang Ruoan wore a hat and mask and played an inconspicuous role, but not many people paid attention.

This is said to be a short film, but in the end it was almost 50 minutes long, and the pace was quite fast, and there was no nonsense throughout.

It’s even okay to say it’s a movie.

Everyone was a little surprised after watching it, because this "Jinyiwei" is really different from previous martial arts movies.

Of course, Lin Xing is still the one who impressed everyone most after watching this movie.

This is really the halo of the protagonist, even if Lin Xing is a supporting role, everyone thinks that he is the protagonist.
