Chapter 466: Reaction, Popularity and Release Date
Lin Xing Studio.
"Ah Xing, I will cooperate with you in any way you need me to for the movie "Death on Earth."
Ding Chunling is now completely confused.
As an agent, she naturally knows about online movies, and it is precisely because of this that Ding Chunling was extremely unhappy at the beginning.
In her opinion, Lin Xing was kind and was deceived by Situ Hui.
Ding Chunling had dealt with Situ Hui before. This woman is a good person, but she is too calculating.
So why did Ding Chunling insist on signing the contract with Situ Hui after Situ Hui said that the profit after deducting the production cost would be given to Lin Xing.
Of course, this is not that Ding Chunling does not trust Situ Hui. You must know that in this circle, integrity is often more important than money.
If you keep holding on to money and are calculative, then almost no one will be willing to cooperate with you again.
No one in this circle is a fool. You can't just take advantage without suffering any loss.
If you get involved, you have to pay it back.
When you are popular, you are strong, you take advantage of others, maybe people dare not do anything to you, and even have to hold their noses to laugh with you.
But if you get into trouble, a bunch of people will come to step on you.
Even Chu Xingrui is like this now, isn't it the same? ?
When he was Chu Shen, he was a person who was petty and even used you to move forward and not to move backward. It is precisely because of this that now that he has no box office appeal, more people have begun to step on him.
In this industry, there are very few people like Wang Ruoan, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Ruoan can be popular for a lifetime.
Originally, Ding Chunling was just a little unhappy with Situ Hui. She felt that Lin Xing had lost a lot in the filming of "Jin Yiwei" this time.
After all, even if Lin Xing's current salary is given to you at a friendly price, even if it is discounted, it will be tens of millions, and this does not include subsequent publicity, etc.
What is the result? ?
All of them were fleeced by Situ Hui. Ding Chunling felt that no matter from which aspect, Lin Xing had suffered a huge loss, so it would be strange for her to be nice to Situ Hui.
But Ding Chunling actually did not sleep from last night to today. She and Sister Dao did not sleep either, and they stared at the box office with wide eyes.
Isn't it difficult for online movie box office to break 10 million? ? ?
Even though Ding Chunling is a mature agent, she is now in a state of serious doubt about her ability.
Fortunately.
Fortunately, Lin Xing insisted on his own ideas and he did not listen to her opinions at all.
If it were really up to Ding Chunling, she should not have taken "Jin Yi Wei" in the first place.
"Yes, Xing, but you shouldn't just accept it for yourself, think about Miaoyin..."
Sister Dao also said: "You should have let Miaoyin try this "Jin Yi Wei" at the beginning. Miaoyin needs to transform. I think that Qinglian..."
"Stop it."
Lin Xing said with some laughter: "Who would have thought that this "Jin Yi Wei" would have such a high box office? And at the beginning, "Jin Yi Wei" was just a short film for the graduation drama. Why did I let Miaoyin go?"
When Lin Xing came to the studio today, he was surrounded by Ding Chunling and Sister Dao.
These two people really came to chat with Lin Xing with panda eyes.
At the same time, he also had some other opinions about the science fiction movie "Death on Earth".
What if? ?
What if "Death on Earth" can really make a few hundred million at the box office? ? ?
A science fiction movie that makes a few hundred million plus a good reputation is enough.
Before the short film "Jin Yi Wei", Ding Chunling might not have trusted it too much, but it's different now.
She agreed with what Sister Dao said. Lin Xing is now in a state of metaphysics, and in this state, he is cheating all the way.
This is actually quite common in the entertainment industry.
Many times, you see some artists or stars who release several movies at once, and then all the movies are a big hit.
Because of this, Sister Dao thinks that Lin Xing's ten years of being out of fashion is an accumulation, which is to take the right path to accumulate blessings.
Look at what Lin Xing has done in the past ten years, which one is not a good thing? ?
If Lin Xing had done something slightly not so good in the past 10 years, then the others would probably have been able to prevent the explosion directly.
Because Lin Xing has always had a good character, it is useless for these people to prevent the explosion.
On the contrary, they dig Lin Xing more and feel that Lin Xing is more fucking strong.
Don't you say this is not accumulating character? ?
Or in many cases, because you do a lot of good things, your future will naturally be good.
Look at the people in [Xingyaohai], aren't they all like this? ? ?
Why is Lin Xing the most competitive among the three? ? ?
But even now, there are still the other two, especially Wu Yao's fans who are still calling for his soul, and even think that Lin Xing is blocking Wu Yao's way.
Of course, this is nothing more than a clown.
Even this does not require Lin Xing's fans to say anything, passers-by can mock Wu Yao's fans directly shut up.
Now Lin Xing has made a bright road in the film industry by relying on art films, and whether it is Ding Chunling or Dao Jie, they actually want Lin Xing to continue to take art films.
Now Lin Xing is the number one in art films, this is something that no one can deny, and Lin Xing has a good reputation and popularity in art films. As long as the next art film is not too bad, there will be no problem in the box office exceeding 100 million.
You have to know that no matter how awesome Lin Xing is, it is impossible for every movie to break 2 billion or 3 billion.
It does not exist.
Even if you are really good at cheating, you can't be so awesome.
Moreover, it is impossible for an actor to have a hit in every movie, but a movie box office of over 100 million is already remarkable, especially for art films.
If other people act in an art film that exceeds 100 million, I'm afraid they will have to make a few hot searches for publicity and marketing, but Lin Xing's is a guaranteed bottom line.
After all, who let Lin Xing hold a 2 billion+ "Sunspots" and a 3 billion+ "Going to Heaven" in his hands? To be honest, any artist is qualified to say this.
Not only the artists, but also the fans, producers, and investment teams will actually have higher expectations invisibly.
If you don't believe it, why do so many people want to invite him to play the same type of role again after the male lead, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh in a TV series or a movie become popular? ?
Isn't it just to copy the path to success.
After all, there are too few people like Lin Xing who always try different roles after becoming popular, but the key is that Lin Xing never fails to try different roles, which is not easy.
Apart from other things, who would have thought that Lin Xing could directly act in the sci-fi movie "Death on Earth"? ?
Of course, what is even more unexpected is that Lin Xing actually went to act in a short film directly.
The key is that he acted so well.
Just today, the data network was updated, and several companies went crazy.
The first one to go crazy was Penguin Video, which directly listed all the posters.
In short, although Penguin Video's cloud cinema has not been very powerful this year, it has all been bought by several other video websites.
There is also a more critical point that Penguin Video has made several exclusive cloud cinemas but lost money.
Because of this, Penguin Video is actually under great pressure this year.
This time it is a direct bet.
Anyway, it is a brainless bet on Lin Xing. If it succeeds, it will succeed. If it doesn't, the cloud cinema will not be held this year.
As the head of the content department of Penguin Video, this time he made the right bet. You know, at the beginning he directly quoted a high price to make Deng Ying of Panda Video give up.
Obviously, this wave of Penguin Video made the right bet.
The bold die of gluttony, the timid die of starvation.
This is often the case.
"I'm so stupid, really."
Just as Penguin Video was excited to celebrate, on the other side, Deng Ying of Panda Video regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
You should know that Panda Video's cloud cinema has done quite well this year. Some of the fine online movies have a box office of about 20 to 30 million, which can be regarded as the leader of Panda Video in the field of online movies.
Qi Dongqiang, the number one online movie star, is almost tied to Panda Video. Several online movies shot by Qi Dongqiang are exclusively on Panda Video.
It is precisely because of this that although Deng Ying knew that the short film starring Lin Xing should be good, he just thought it was good, and the premise of being good might be only 30 or 40 million.
This is the best.
Besides, Deng Ying felt that with their support and support in the field of online movies, they might be able to produce several online movies that broke 50 million this year.
In this case, why spend a high price to buy "Jin Yiwei"? ?
"I'm so stupid, really."
Deng Ying sighed again: "I should have known that Lin Xing has always been very powerful, and he has always created miracles again and again, but I still underestimated him..."
If "The King's Guard" only had a box office of 40 million or even 50 million, then Deng Ying would not regret it.
But now "The King's Guard" has broken 60 million in 16 hours, and this is just the paid cloud cinema, not including the other split box office.
At present, many people predict that the split box office of "The King's Guard" will have a box office of 200 million, but Deng Ying thinks that this is not a lot of box office, but traffic.
After this wave, Penguin Video has added a lot of new members, plus a huge outflow of traffic, and this is not a short-term influx, because online movies are originally long-term, which means that the next "The King's Guard" can continue to bring traffic to Penguin Video.
Do you think Deng Ying can not regret it? ?
But there is no use in regretting now.
All I can say is that I have tried my best to make up for it. He dialed the phone again and said, "Hurry up, follow the trend as early as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Deng Ying sighed again, "I'm so stupid, really."
At the same time, Banana Video was preparing to promote a drama, which was "Love Is Not Easy" directed by Zu Ming.
This drama was bought out exclusively by Banana Video a long time ago. On the one hand, this is Zu Ming's second drama after "Sweeping Black Waves". Although it is a love drama, it is also worth their investment.
What's more, Gao Miao and Shi Lin have good appeal. They should have promoted it a long time ago. At that time, Shi Lin was a little negative, and Banana Video didn't dare to take too much risk.
Now it's been so long, not to mention that the TV series "Love Is Not Easy" also has Lin Xing as the second male lead. This drama must be prepared before promoting it.
Now is the time.
Originally, when the box office of the movie "Going to Heaven" was a big hit, "Love Is Not Easy" wanted to be promoted, but at that time Banana Video felt that the popularity was not here, and it would become cannon fodder if it was promoted.
Even if this drama is Zu Ming's, it still needs to be considered.
Now, the Hundred Flowers Awards have been passed, and there is no drama king this month. As for the short film "Jin Yi Wei", it is just right to take advantage of the popularity.
It is precisely because of this that after "Jin Yi Wei" directly achieved such a result, Banana Video is ready to be promoted directly.
At the same time, "Love Is Not Easy" has been officially announced to be released on August 10th, and will be broadcast online on Banana Video, while satellite TV will start broadcasting on August 20th.
Obviously, Banana Video can’t wait any longer, so it plans to access the backend first.
This is normal.
Many TV dramas are first released online, and many online dramas are even released on satellite TV after they are almost finished broadcasting on video websites.
At the same time, Lin Xing also received a call from Zu Ming.
"Axing, congratulations. This has released another big star for the Internet market. Today, my circle of friends are all shocked. Some people even said that they are planning to shoot for Internet companies..."
Zu Ming smiled and said to Lin Xing: "It's really difficult to call you. I called several times before I got through."
Lin Xing said with a wry smile: "Director Zu, it's really not my fault. I've been answering the phone now, and I'm about to turn off the phone."
"It seems that I am quite lucky, this just opened up."
Zu Mingli was delighted: "I'm telling you that the launch press conference for "Love Is Not Easy" will be held the day after tomorrow. Do you have time??"
"the day after tomorrow??"
Lin Xing was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he also participated in the TV series "Love Is Not Easy".
Mainly it takes too long.
When "Love Is Not Easy" Lin Xing went to visit the cast, he happened to have some time to appear in a few scenes, and also discussed the script.
Originally, this drama was preceded by "Never the Line" before filming started, but it turned out that "Never the Line" had been aired for a long time, and "Love Is Not Easy" was still on the air.
This was so overwhelming that Lin Xing almost forgot about it.
"Okay, Director Zu, just send me the time via WeChat later and I'll be there on time."
Lin Xing was stunned for a moment and then agreed.
Although he knew that Lin Xing would agree, Zu Ming was still very happy to hear Lin Xing agree so happily: "That's it. Don't leave until the launch conference is over. Let's have a drink together."
Today, Lin Xing is no longer the young actor he was when he was filming "The Big Brother". Now he is a top-notch actor with multiple phenomenal TV series and three 5-billion-dollar art films.
For this reason, Zu Ming was naturally more polite to Lin Xing, not to mention that Lin Xing was always helping.
Just friendly help.
After filming for a few days on the set of "Love Is Not Easy", Lin Xing just helped out out of pure friendship. Not to mention the salary, even the hotel he stayed in was paid for by himself.
Now Zu Ming needs Lin Xing to do some friendly promotion. What's more important is that this is traffic that is meant to rub off on Lin Xing. Zu Ming naturally wants to talk to Lin Xing in advance.
Many people often say these words "repay kindness with kindness", but there are not many people in the entertainment industry who truly appreciate kindness with kindness.
Most of them are just icing on the cake.
