Chapter 521 Tu Yile, Gap, Is This Science Fiction?

Lin Xing stayed in the capital for three days. He was very busy during these three days. On the one hand, as Ding Chunling said, he needed to participate in some activities.

You should know that there are actually some advertisements in "Parallel Cohabitation" this time, and two of these advertisements have made great efforts.

One is [Diying Watch] and the other is [Dima Electric Vehicle].

These two endorsements were chosen by Lin Xing before they really took off. Whether it is [Diying Watch] or [Dima Electric Vehicle], they are all successful bets on Lin Xing.

Even when they bet on Lin Xing, many people thought it was a bad move. After all, Lin Xing had just become popular at that time, especially when [Dima Electric Vehicle] was in the air, Lin Xing returned to the public eye with "Let's Farm".

What was the result? ?

Now who doesn't say that [Dima Electric Vehicle] has a unique vision? ?

And over the years, Lin Xing is really not like other spokespersons who only make money. On the contrary, Lin Xing often selflessly helps [Dima Electric Vehicle] to promote.

Of course, [Dima Electric Vehicle] has been doing charity and poverty alleviation, and has even cooperated with Lin Xing several times.

In this way, compared with other electric vehicles, [Dima Electric Vehicle] has a very high reputation and popularity.

You should know that sometimes inviting endorsements is also a technical job.

Some companies will boycott all people when inviting endorsements. After all, under the current extreme opposition, anything can happen.

But [Dima Electric Vehicle] invited Lin Xing, which is different. Lin Xing has a very high popularity among passers-by, and even led to a lot of sales growth for [Dima Electric Vehicle].

More importantly, Lin Xing has been doing his best to be a good spokesperson in the past few years. No matter how much money other competitors offer, they have not poached Lin Xing.

As the saying goes, be honest.

Lin Xing does not want to choose endorsements just for money. If so, sooner or later his reputation will collapse.

He is not short of money, or he is not the kind of artist who only wants to make money and everything is based on money.

Even Lin Xing rarely does live broadcasts. Look at how many so-called acting schools and veteran actors sell fake goods live? ?

There is no way, because they are really offering too much.

Think about it, even a second- or third-tier artist would be offered so much, let alone Lin Xing.

But Lin Xing declined all of them.

And in fact, endorsements are often exclusive. For example, if Lin Xing endorses [Dima Electric Vehicle], then he certainly cannot endorse other electric vehicles.

Similarly, if Lin Xing endorses [Diying Watch], then he cannot endorse other watches.

You should know that [Diying Watch] is actually mid-to-high-end, and there are many real luxury high-end watches, which are actually more in line with Lin Xing's identity.

Because of this, Ding Chunling actually asked Lin Xing, after all, the endorsement contract signed with [Diying Watch] was for three years, and after the endorsement ended, it was completely possible to go further.

However, firstly, the cooperation between [Diying Watch] and Lin Xing was quite pleasant, and [Diying Watch] also offered good conditions later. In this case, I will not be picky.

In this way, whether it is [Dima Electric Vehicle] or [Diying Watch], the endorsements of these two companies are tied to Lin Xing.

It is too difficult to find a qualified and appealing endorser with good reputation and popularity. For this reason, [Dima Electric Vehicle] and [Diying Watch] did give a lot.

Not only that, Lin Xing actually likes to cooperate with the two companies. Firstly, both companies have a strong sense of corporate social responsibility, and secondly, these two companies basically support Lin Xing.

Take this time's "Parallel Cohabitation" for example, whether it is [Dima Electric Vehicle] or [Diying Watch], both companies directly paid tens of millions of advertising fees.

In other words, "Parallel Cohabitation" has actually recovered its investment just by relying on this advertising fee.

Of course, this is only Lin Xing, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve such an effect if it were replaced by other people.

After all, we are not stupid, and no one's money comes from the wind.

To be honest, the two companies [Dima Tram] and [Diying Watch] are not looking at the movie at all, they are just looking at Lin Xing as a person.

"Brother Xing, do you think this is okay?"

In Zu Ming's studio, Zu Lan said to Lin Xing: "We have edited a 1-minute short film, all in accordance with what you said, to give everyone a shock..."

"Okay."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "You can hand it over to Meng Yan, let her start promoting it."

Zu Lan said: "Okay, the post-production is already working overtime, but it may be really tight to finish it before the preview."

Zu Ming also said: "A Xing, I advised you to stagger it a little before, why choose such a small schedule?"

Lin Xing laughed: "Director Zu, it's not that I have to choose a small schedule, it's really either November or early to mid-December, because there are fewer blockbusters at this time, we can go the long way, but if it's New Year's Eve, there will definitely be blockbusters under the New Year's Day holiday, and we won't be able to compete at that time."

Yes.

That's right.

If a movie wants to have a good box office, it often needs a schedule, and a good schedule can completely make the box office like a tiger sky wing.

But if the release date is not good, then it will even flop.

Just look at how many movies flopped because of a bad release date.

"That's true, but Ah Xing, is it really okay to choose such a film at such a schedule???"

Even now, Zu Ming is still not optimistic about this movie.

To be precise, Zu Ming didn't believe his daughter.

He didn't believe it from the beginning, and after reading the script, he thought it was just average. Now that he's watching the trailer, what kind of stupid editing is there? ?

If Zu Lan hadn't said to cut it according to Lin Xing's request, then Zu Ming would definitely have bombarded her.

"Ancestral mentor, actually the emphasis is on participation."

Lin Xing didn't say anything. He just smiled and said: "Originally, we didn't have much pressure on "Parallel Cohabitation". This movie is mainly for fun."

Zu Ming was stunned: "Tu Yile??"

"Yes, I really like this script, and the movie is actually quite interesting. Among the romance dramas that are filling the screen today, "Parallel Living" is really special. Didn't you read the script too??"

Lin Xing nodded lightly and said: "So it's just an attempt. Just like when I made the science fiction movie "Dead on Earth", it was also an attempt. Isn't it the same when you make a TV series? You can't make it for the market or to cater to the market. Something short and fast?”

These words reached Zu Ming's heart.

He always feels that the audience's aesthetic needs the joint efforts of everyone in the industry. If the audience watches bad movies every day, then it is not the audience's problem, it is the efforts of the filmmakers.

Therefore, Zu Ming looks down on those who immediately say that the audience's level of appreciation is not enough.

Don't talk nonsense, isn't it the responsibility of your industry to determine whether the audience's level of appreciation is sufficient? ?

It's quite funny that you can't make a good film and still complain that the audience doesn't appreciate it enough.

For this reason, even if Zu Ming no longer looked down on "Parallel Cohabitation", he didn't say anything more when Lin Xing said this.

"Leaving tomorrow??" Zu Ming then asked instead.

"Yes, the crew of "Death on Earth" has already started working. I should go over and shoot a segment first, and then come back when "Parallel Living" is screened next month^"

Lin Xing said: "I mainly came here today to see how the trailer was. I have been rehearsing on CCTV for the past two days, so I didn't pay attention to it."

Zu Ming said "Oh": "How was the rehearsal? Guo Haishan is quite strong, and it's not easy to catch his scenes..."

Zu Ming admires these sketch actors in the Spring Festival Gala, especially these comedy sketch actors. They are not just sketch actors.

"In terms of acting, Guo Haishan's acting skills are seriously underestimated."

Zu Ming said: "I have worked with him before. When he plays a small character, he is not acting at all. He is really a small character. Especially when he plays farmers, migrant workers, and ordinary people, he is ridiculously strong..."

When they were at Zheng Zhou's hot pot restaurant, because Lin Xing and Zheng Zhou's relationship was only acceptable, Lin Xing could only keep it secret.

You must know that most of this circle is not good for you, good for me, or good for everyone. Most of the people in this circle are good for you but not good for me. If you can insert a knife in the back, you will never let it go.

For this reason, it was impossible for Lin Xing to tell them that he would act in Guo Haishan's skit.

But with Zu Ming, there are not so many secrets.

For this reason, Zu Ming was also quite worried when he listened to Lin Xing perform Guo Haishan's skit.

Because Guo Haishan is a master-level figure in the field of sketches. It's not just as simple as being taken away by him, but whether you can catch his scenes or his jokes.

This is extremely difficult.

What's more, Guo Haishan is an excellent actor in his own right. Although he has not acted in many film and television dramas, all of them are classics.

"yes."

Lin Xing agreed with Zu Ming.

When rehearsing with Guo Haishan, Lin Xing was actually a little uncomfortable at first. Performing skits on this kind of stage, and doing it in one go. The most important thing is that there is no pause and no shouting.

In fact, it’s just one shot to the end.

This is extremely difficult.

What's more, Lin Xing wants to play the right role.

That's right.

He has to act strictly, and then it creates a contrast, which is even more difficult.

Because if you are not careful, it is easy for the audience to get into trouble.

Fortunately, the rehearsal effect was quite good.

"If you say that, I'm looking forward to it even more."

Zu Ming became interested after listening to Lin Xing's words.

However, Lin Xing said with a wry smile: "Actually, there is no need to expect it. I am just a foil. The main thing is to see how Teacher Guo leads me."

This is not because Lin Xing is modest, this is what he really thinks.

Acting in sketches, or comedies, he couldn't feel it on the stage of "Comedy Is Laughing", but when he collaborates with the master Guo, he can really feel it.

Still far from it.

The next day, Lin Xing returned directly to the set of "Death on Earth".

At the same time, "Parallel Cohabitation" finally began to be promoted.

First, the official V of "Parallel Living" said: "Please look forward to the first trailer on October 31st."

"666, has a trailer finally appeared?"

"Good guy, it looks like we can make it in time for Double Eleven?"

"I'm not worried about not being able to make it. Since it's been confirmed, I can definitely make it. Now I just want to see what this first trailer is about??"

…

"The story of a domineering president pursuing love is a bit bloody, but it depends on who plays it. If Lin Xing plays it, then I will definitely support it."

"That's right, Lin Xing is really suitable for playing a domineering CEO. He hasn't played since "Waiting for You". He even entered the track of a loser. I really think Lin Xing will not play a domineering CEO again. After all, who would want to play an idol drama when they can play a serious drama?"

"In fact, if you know Lin Xing, it's not surprising, because Lin Xing has always only read the script. He prefers to try more. I think it's probably because the script of "Parallel Cohabitation" is good that Lin Xing is willing to take it."

"Stop joking. Look at who is the director of "Parallel Cohabitation"? That's Zu Lan. Everyone knows that this is just Zu Ming's favor."

"I think so too. Just think about why Lin Xing said in an interview that he was just having fun."

...

At present, many people's views on "Parallel Cohabitation" are actually a little stronger than "Death on Earth".

The reason for the strong is naturally easy to understand. It's nothing more than "Parallel Cohabitation" as a comedy, which naturally has a basic base, not to mention that this is Lin Xing playing a domineering CEO, which has traffic.

But "Death on Earth" is different. Many people think that "Death on Earth" is a science fiction movie after all, and everyone can see what the basic market of science fiction movies is like.

Science fiction movies are dead. Before, "The Fall of the Demon City" sealed the door of science fiction movies. Later, several movies were afraid that the door was not big enough, and they specially nailed a few more nails.

Of course, for Lin Xing, he does not think that science fiction movies are dead, because a movie will never really die at any time, just like action movies. Many people still think that action movies are dead, but there are still people making action movies, and the box office is not bad.

So, in the final analysis, it depends on how it is made. More importantly, whether it is an action movie or a science fiction movie, on the one hand, what is needed is change, and on the other hand, it is necessary to do everything possible to improve the quality.

Just like why everyone thinks that Chen Sheng should retire when he makes action movies?

Isn’t it because the movies Chen Sheng made are quite bad?

Of course, now Chen Sheng is filming "Fire Pursuit" and everyone thinks that Chen Sheng should take filming seriously.

But Chen Sheng is already this old, whether he can still fight is still unknown.

In short, the topic of "Fireline Pursuit" is even bigger than "Death on Earth".

This is also because Lin Xing deliberately made "Death on Earth" not need to be high-profile for the time being, after all, it has been high-profile when it started.

And with the release of the trailer of "Parallel Cohabitation", it is basically the promotion period of this movie.
