Chapter 464: Is Penguin Video Going to Rely on Lin Xing for Retirement?

Actually, it’s not now, but 4 years ago, action movies were not so popular.

Think about it 4 years ago when Lin Xing and Hong Fei recorded "Let’s Farm" together, Hong Fei was almost abandoned by the market.

Even though Hong Fei later became popular again with "Let’s Farm", he is not a pure action movie now.

Because there is no market for this.

Hong Fei was also very optimistic at that time. He thought that action movies would definitely be revived in the future. As a result, 4 years have passed, and Hong Fei has not waited for the revival of action movies.

Moreover, there are fewer and fewer action movie actors now, and there are not many who can fight. Even Chen Sheng can’t fight at this age, so the audience is getting more and more annoyed.

After all, Chen Sheng’s movies are often worth the price of the ticket when you see him fight.

But now Chen Sheng can’t fight anymore, the script is not good, and the filming is getting worse and worse. Think about it, even the Kung Fu Emperor can only consume passers-by’s popularity to make bad movies, let alone other people.

For this reason, Qi Dongqiang now dares not have any extravagant hope that there will be a revival of action movies and that he can return to the track of the film industry.

But this did not prevent him from feeling excited about the achievements of "The King's Guards".

Whether Lin Xing did it intentionally or unintentionally, at least Lin Xing has raised the record of online movies to a new height with his own efforts.

Now it depends on how much the box office is in 24 hours.

Penguin Video is still doing record statistics.

"The King's Guards" has broken many records.

The fastest record of breaking one million was only 30 minutes.

The fastest record of breaking 5 million was only 2 hours.

The fastest record of breaking 10 million was only 4 and a half hours.

As for the number of viewers, it has broken the record of the entire site, or the upper limit of the number of viewers of the entire online movie.

You should know that 10 million is only calculated based on the on-demand box office, and the number of viewers is about 1.6 million.

What concept? ?

According to the movie box office ticket price, the box office on the first day has broken 50 million in 4 and a half hours.

So terrifying.

The most important thing is that, as Lin Xing's fans said, Lao Mao and Zeng Li, the reputation of the short film "Jin Yi Wei" is also fermenting.

Needless to say, Lin Xing, his role Qi Wei is the most discussed, because as mentioned before, many people now don't like the great and glorious heroes, because they are not down-to-earth.

Now everyone prefers some flawed knights, or ordinary knights, who also have seven emotions and six desires.

And it happens that the role of Qi Wei is just like this.

More people are discussing whether Qi Wei is a good person or a bad person?

In this regard, some people said: "Why are the characters or protagonists in TV series and movies getting uglier and uglier? Isn't it because everyone always wants the characters to have all kinds of positive values? In fact, many times the characters are not black and white, but the good people in the current TV series must be ridiculously good, and if the bad people have a little humanity, they are not positive values. It's strange that such TV series can be good? "

Many people agree with this view.

"That's true, so I like the character Qi Wei. Even though he's bad, he's charming and not stereotyped."

"Yes, but I want to ask if Qinglian in this story is a gold digger? Or a green tea?"

"It should be said that this is not true or not. To put it bluntly, she is a prostitute of the Jiaofangsi. She can't even control what kind of customers she accepts. All she can do is to compromise and live a careful life."

...

If a work can be successful, then the characters of this work must stand out first, and not only the protagonist, but also the supporting characters are equally exciting.

Take the short film "Jinyiwei" for example. It has been online for 4 and a half hours. Basically, many people have watched it. The most popular lines are Qi Wei's: "You have to pay more" and "This female doctor is very moist."

In addition, there are the lines of Qinglian, a prostitute of the Jiaofangsi.

"Do you believe me when I say I sell my art but not my body? It's nothing more than cheating fools to get more money. Can you find a decent woman after visiting brothels?"

This line can still cause discussion.

The most important thing is that this character is better than many current dramas.

You should know that whether it is martial arts or ancient costume dramas, it is very easy to create a heroine who is untainted by mud.

This heroine must have the aura of a courtesan or a top prostitute in a brothel, and most of them sell their art but not their body, have high looks and talents, and are loyal to a man when they fall in love with him.

It seems that the brothel in the ancient costume drama is very formal, and there is no forced prostitution or even dragging decent women into the water. The heroine even said: "I haven't been broken yet."

In the past, the heroine in online articles must be a prostitute, and now TV dramas and film and television dramas also do this.

The key is that some people believe this.

There were some short videos before that said that they wanted to go back to ancient times, be a courtesan, choose a good man, etc.

In short, one is really daring to act, and the other is really daring to believe.

It is precisely because of this that the character of Qinglian in the Jiaofangsi in "Jin Yiwei" feels real to everyone.

There are more discussions.

However, as for some people calling Qinglian a gold digger or a green tea girl, many people now say that this is completely different from urban dramas.

You should know that it is not popular in urban dramas nowadays for the heroine to be a virgin. Even the overbearing CEOs have begun to like the heroines who have abortions and menopausal heroines.

So, everyone discussed the topic and ended here.

"Yes, I think this is different from the character in the TV series "Ordinary Life" that has been causing trouble recently. He is really a prostitute, and this TV series has completely whitewashed the prostitute. "

"Damn, are you watching "Ordinary Life" upstairs too? I'm drunk too. The people in this TV series are either civil servants or executives, driving big luxury cars, living in big houses, and they ended up saying this... It’s just ordinary people’s lives? What nonsense? And are the bosses in TV dramas so silly and sweet now?”

"That's right, with an annual salary of one million and a 150-square-meter house in the imperial capital, my wife was so dissatisfied. In the past, it was the domineering president who fell in love with me, and then it was the little bitch who fell in love with the big sister, but now she has fallen in love with the domineering president. I am in my 30s and have had an abortion. A few days ago, there was a short drama about "a domineering president falling in love with me who is divorced and menopausal." Do I really want to say that this is all nonsense? Don’t you want to eat?”

…

"I think "Ordinary Life" is okay. Didn't you see another movie where the male protagonist was cuckolded by the female protagonist and gave birth to a little black man? Moreover, the female protagonist even got AIDS, but the male protagonist still stayed together. It’s a disgusting drama of abandonment.”

"That's right, I was even more amazed after watching that drama. It's just that it was blocked, so there wasn't much discussion. I really want to ask, do these TV dramas really not consider male viewers? No matter how stupid a man is, he can't be like this. Bar."

…

At present, not only is the relationship between men and women seriously torn in reality, but it is also severely torn in major film and television dramas and even variety shows.

Just like "Ordinary Life" that everyone is currently discussing, this is also the case with the latest romance drama "I Just Like You", which has a unique double standard.

It can be summed up in five words: "Can it be the same??"

It is precisely because of this that "Ordinary Life" and "I Just Like You" are the most discussed.

But maybe the producers and promoters of these two movies are still having fun.

After all, isn’t the heat rising?

This is why many people are saying that whether it is a movie or a TV series market, it does not matter whether it will live or die in the future. ?

The next day, after a night of fermentation, the short film "Jinyiwei" was discussed on Weibo, Bihu, Bilibili, Weishi, Douban, Internet forums and other places.

Seventy percent were discussing Lin Xing, and 20% were just like last night when we were discussing the role of Qinglian, but ended up talking about the current women and green tea, and the discussion was completely divergent.

The remaining 30% is to discuss "Jinyiwei" as a whole, especially the well-made short film, which is less than an hour long, has cool movements, tight rhythm, etc.

These are basically within the scope of normal discussions.

In addition, Penguin Video has no longer announced the real-time release of "Jinyiwei" since its box office exceeded 10 million.

All we have to do is wait for the update of the box office data list at 12 noon.

The eyes of the industry are also focused on it.

You must know that no one expected that a short film like "Jinyiwei" would be such a box office hit.

6 yuan is money after all.

At least for most people, it must be quite difficult for you to ask them to pay. After all, it depends on whether you are worthy or not?

Why do many directors often feel good about themselves, but then start criticizing the audience after making a bad movie? ?

Because they think what’s wrong with you spending dozens of dollars to support the film I made? ?

There are also many celebrities who think that their fans will foot the bill, but as a result, there are many people who only buy hundreds of thousands of goods from tens of millions of fans.

Think about when Lin Xing appeared in "Fashionable Men's Style" magazine. At that time, Lin Xing was far from having so many masterpieces. Even Hao Zhi and Xu Han felt that sales could crush Lin Xing.

As a result, Lin Xing's sales were far ahead. It was precisely because "Fashionable Man Style" that Lin Xing proved his popularity that he was invited to follow the online drama "Portrait of a Murderer".

Now more than three years have passed, and Lin Xing's popularity and reputation have naturally risen to several levels, so many people still want to watch the short film in which he made a temporary cameo.

Lin Xing doesn't act in bad movies.

These 6 words are not just mentioned casually. On the contrary, these 6 words are proved by Lin Xing one by one through his own works.

Just like Sharp said before that he would not act in bad movies, but the result was good. How many bad movies has he acted in the past three years? ? ?

Therefore, the actor's reputation is important, and passers-by are more often willing to pay for the actor because of the actor's reputation.

Let’s not talk about other people, let’s talk about Wang Ruo’an. Everyone says that he is dedicated and everyone knows what he is like, so it is hard to get tickets for his concerts because everyone knows that his concerts will be wonderful.

But it's hard to say about movies, because he has acted in many bad movies, so his box office appeal in the movie market is not so absolute.

Let's put it this way, if Wang Ruoan's movie is okay, then his movie box office may be even better based on Wang Ruoan's popularity with the public.

But if Wang Ruoan's movie doesn't work, no matter how popular it is, people on the street won't buy it.

Therefore, "Jinyiwei" is a big network, and the entire film and television industry despises the works at the end of the chain. It has achieved such a result in a market with a small plate and not many viewers paying attention. What can you say? ?

Everyone can only say that Lin Xing is awesome.

At this time, any language seems to be pale, and even the black fans are thinking about which direction to attack again? ?

"I think the box office revenue of "The King's Guards" will be at least 30 million after the data network is updated."

"It's hard to say. After all, the growth rate will be slower as time goes by. The explosion of the box office of "The King's Guards" in the first few hours is due to marketing. After all, many artists helped to promote it."

"Nonsense, what's the use of these artists' promotions except for the free movie tickets?"

"That's right, who still watches the promotions of artists now? The audience will automatically pass up the promotions of a bunch of artists who are just trying to keep warm together."

...

"I think apart from some artists, more people are willing to watch it just because of Lin Xing. In addition, everyone thought that "The King's Guards" was okay after watching it for 6 minutes, so they just paid for it."

"Yes, I think Lin Xing usually doesn't act in bad movies. Lin Xing has never disappointed people in recent years."

...

More and more people are starting to discuss the box office of "The King's Guards", but in fact, there is no need to discuss why the box office of this short film is so explosive?

No need to discuss.

Just two words.

Lin Xing.

This is almost beyond discussion. If Lin Xing had not participated in "Jin Yi Wei", the box office would have been difficult to reach tens of millions, let alone millions.

If you don't believe me, look at the current online movie box office rankings, which are really more flops than one another.

Not to mention that apart from Lin Xing, where do people like Xie Long, Meng Fei, and Zhang Ming have the box office appeal? ?

This is really the current situation of online movies. Some are outdated, and some old actors make cameos. In short, it is a complete bad movie.

It is precisely because of Lin Xing that it can be regarded as turning stones into gold.

"I'll make a blind guess. The box office of "Jin Yi Wei" should be 50 million when the data is updated."

"It shouldn't be. Although it rushed more fiercely in the early stage, you have to know that the market for martial arts films is not that big, and online movies are not like movie box office.

"Yes, the VIP unit price of online movies is only 6 yuan. Besides, the payment of cloud cinema has not formed a trend. How many people are waiting for free. ”

……

If the box office of "Jin Yi Wei" as an online movie is 50 million, then the number of on-demand viewers has reached at least 8 million, and this is not just members watching, some of them are new members.

In the past two years, the number of VIP members of major video websites has basically reached the top. The number of VIP members of Penguin has remained at around 100 million in the past two years. In the past two years, it has increased a certain amount of new members thanks to "Never Breaking Line" and "Minning Town".

Speaking of which, these two TV series are still starring Lin Xing.

Now, "Jin Yi Wei" has been bought out and broadcast on Penguin Video.

No wonder some people joked before that Penguin Video is relying on Lin Xing for retirement??
