Chapter 571: Pack up and Prepare for the Upgrade

Song Ying really felt that she had suffered a huge loss, and she really had suffered a huge loss.

You must know that before the release of "Hot Streets", the industry unanimously believed that it would be a hit. Action movies are no longer good, everyone is tired of watching explosion scenes, Wei Lu is getting old, and many other predictions are considered reasonable and well-founded.

But what everyone didn't expect was that this prediction should not be based on "Hot Streets", but should be based on "Pursuit of Fire".

Criticisms such as repetitive action movie routines, too tiring fighting scenes, too monotonous actors' characters, etc. In fact, at first glance, it turns out that all of them have been realized in "The Wire".

Many people have certain expectations for the movie "Pursuit of Fire". This expectation is actually because everyone has not seen a good action movie for a long time.

After reading it, I found that it was still the same, which naturally made everyone unhappy.

Then it’s really about peer support.

Because of the general garbage "Pursuit of Fire" in the front, many people basically watched "The Streets of Fire", so "The Streets of Fire" is completely supplemented by fighting.

In other words, although "Explosion Street" is also an action drama, and the various explosion scenes are really quite explosive, the script is very solid.

This time, the rating of "Hot Streets" on Douban has reached 8 points, which can be said to be completely good.

Everyone has enjoyed watching Wei Lu's previous movies, but if you say the script is always a weak point, this time Wei Lu wanted to directly make up for the weak points of her script, but the result was that the script was too demanding. On the contrary, Yuan Yu was dissatisfied.

Of course, we said before that Yuan Yu flipped the table because you turned my male lead into a villain. Of course I was unhappy.

Let’s go a step further and let’s talk about the movie “Hot Streets” again. Basically, this movie is currently stable at 2 billion.

Now the May 1st box office has won 1 billion, and there are no blockbusters in the following May, which means that "Hot Streets" can continue to have a long-term success.

In such a situation, how could Song Ying not vomit blood? ?

Many media also reported this incident.

If Song Ying was willing to take a gamble, then Song Ying will now account for the majority of the subsequent profits of "Hot Streets".

Of course, Song Ying also said in an interview: "I regret it really, but it is really funny to say that I hate Lin Xing. To be honest, I am really grateful to Lin Xing. Lin Xing is not the only one who wants to take advantage of the share of "Fire Streets", there are also some people who want to take advantage of it, and some even want to get a 30% discount..."

At this point, Song Ying paused and continued: "At that time, I really wanted to make a move because I felt that I was not suitable for investing in movies at all. I had no confidence in this movie at all. I even thought that this movie must be... Not many people saw it, so after Lin Xing took over the deal, I thought that as long as Lin Xing was willing to get it at a 50% discount, I would give it to him, so I offered him a 30% discount because I thought Lin Xing would bargain... …”

This was what Song Ying was saying. For Song Ying, she really thought that Lin Xing should be able to bargain, and her psychological price was 50% off.

"But what do you think Lin Xing told me??"

Song Ying looked at the numerous media and said: "Lin Xing didn't bargain at all. Not only that, Lin Xing also directly told me that I would lose money in the future. He suggested that I continue to hold it, but I really just wanted to hurry up at that time. Take action, so I still transferred the share to Lin Xing..."

At the end, Song Ying said with a wry smile: "So I can only blame myself for being stupid. I can't blame Lin Xing anyway."

Of course, apart from Song Ying, An's mother is actually the one who is ridiculed the most online.

Because everyone thinks that An's mother really opened the champagne halfway. You must know that An's mother has always looked down on Lin Xing.

You have to know that the relationship between Lin Xing and An Yifeng was quite good at the beginning, and Lin Xing and An Yifeng even cooperated well. The two of them could have cooperated more.

But everything was ruined by An's mother.

Now that Yang Tian and Lin Xing have joined forces, Yang Tian has become the only heroine of Ichiban 10 Sisters.

Not only that, "Charlotte Trouble" co-produced by Yang Tian and Lin Xing is currently being filmed. Everyone thinks that the comedy will also be good.

Of course, because of Lin Xing's participation, many people think that this movie should not do too badly.

This saved Yang Tian from being a ratings poison and a box office poison.

Whether it's a ratings poison or a box office poison depends on who you're filming with.

Look at An Yifeng, isn’t that the case? ?

She made a TV series with Lin Xing in "The Return of Sister Wang", and she made a movie with Lin Xing, which directly broke the box office poisonous hat.

The result? ?

Filming "The Wire" is really a hit now. Even though the box office is now close to 200 million, it is still a hit.

After all, with such a big cast, such a hit drama with such a box office, how can it not be considered a hit? ?

It is true that "Pursuit of Fire" was not so willing to admit defeat at the beginning. As I said before, "Pursuit of Fire" is trying to boost the box office.

They really tried their best during the road show. Chen Sheng even fell ill and Liu Yunxia also collapsed from exhaustion.

Then, now only An Yifeng is left. No matter what, An Yifeng still wants to run again.

But as the May Day period ended, the single-day box office of "Pursuit of Fire" dropped directly to 1 million.

Why are you running? ?

After running for a week, "The Wire" didn't have much box office fluctuations even on weekends.

On the contrary, the box office of the movie "Hot Streets" is as stable as a dog. It really has a long-term success, and it took in nearly 300 million in box office in one week.

For this reason, "Fire Chase" is no longer planning to run road shows, because there is no point in running anymore.

In the end, "Fire Chase" really didn't even reach 200 million.

The one who pounced on the street was miserable.

On the contrary, the box office of "Hot Streets" dropped for two days even though Lin Xing kept doing road shows.

This is often the case in this circle, the winner takes all.

As long as you win, then everything you say is the truth.

Because of this, Yuan Yu, Chen Sheng, An Mu, Song Ying and others all became happy people.

A professional film critic directly wrote: "Kung fu movies have not disappeared, but Chen Sheng's era has passed. He may continue to make movies in the future, but he has lost his appeal, and people will no longer pay for his feelings. .

Lin Xing has really started his own era. He is the fastest player I have ever seen.

Many people say that they are getting ready to get promoted.

But after a TV series becomes popular, do you want to become a celebrity? ?

How is this possible? ?

What is a big shot? ?

A big shot can carry a drama, and this kind of drama will never lose its ratings. As long as he is there, even if he is a supporting role, he will carry the drama.

What is a big shot? ?

That can carry the box office. As long as it is a movie in which he participates, everyone will want to support it. Although the movie he guest-stars in may not have much box office, the box office of his movies will definitely not be bad.

Take a look, of those people you mentioned who are getting ready to get promoted, how many of them meet this condition? ?

But only Lin Xing was satisfied.

Watch Lin Xing's TV series, watch Lin Xing's movies, he is the one who can really carry it.

…

The person who said this was a professional film critic and even the editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly".

"Film Weekly" was relatively optimistic about Lin Xing from the beginning, but they still underestimated Lin Xing's ability.

Ridiculously strong.

Not only "Film Weekly", but also some other industry professionals also gave Lin Xing very high praise.

The revival of action movies may really fall on Lin Xing.

Yes.

Action movies are really dead these days. How long has it been since an action movie has a box office of over 2 billion? ? ?

A reporter also asked this question at today's road show.

“Why does the revival of action movies depend on me??”

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Lin Xing said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Can everyone stop praising me so much??"

"No, Lin Xing, this is not praise. You must know that "Jinyiwei" is an action martial arts movie. Then the movie broke the record. Now, a police movie like "The Streets" Gangster action movies are about to set another record..."

Some reporters shook their heads and said: "So you will continue to make action movies in the future??"

"First of all, I have to say that I think I am just an actor. Then I encounter a good script, a good production team, and then I am lucky enough that the audience buys it..."

Lin Xing looked at the crowd and said: "So if there is a good action movie script in the future, I may take it, but it depends on fate in the future. This is really not something I can decide. As for the revival of action movies, I don't care about it. , let the vast number of filmmakers work together to make good action movies..."

Next, the Internet began to report Lin Xing’s interview.

At the same time, Lao Zhong also said: "This is why I am optimistic about Lin Xing. The reason is very simple, because Lin Xing is always awake.

Just like the editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly" said before that the most annoying sentence now is "packing up and preparing to be promoted". I am also annoyed because I think this is very disrespectful to the screenwriter, director, and production team.

You know, many times a drama becomes popular, and then the actors get all the bonuses, and then if the drama is not good, they scold the writer and director.

This is so funny.

But look at Lin Xing, he is always sober. He knows that his success comes from many aspects. Even though he has been called a cheater, he is still extremely humble.

Some people think Lin Xing is pretending, but don't forget that Lin Xing is a real live entertainment person. He doesn't pretend, he is just real. "

…

"Old Zhong is right. It's true what you said. Lin Xing has never had anything to do with him. He has always said that he is lucky."

"Yes, but in the entertainment industry, good luck is not a sign of strength."

"Yes, I still don't think Lin Xing is lucky. You have to know that once or twice is good luck. How many times has Lin Xing been lucky??"

"No, let me just ask, has Lin Xing ever jumped on the street??"

…

People on Lao Zhong’s Weibo said that Lao Zhong was right, but some people felt that Lao Zhong’s requirements for Lin Xing were too high.

Why are you praising Lin Xing at this time? ?

You must know that many people like the aura of the protagonist, and they prefer that the person with the aura of the protagonist always succeeds, or that he never disappoints everyone.

Why do so many people chase stars? ?

Isn't it because they pin their dreams on the stars they follow?

But among these people, Lin Xing is a special one.

Those who like him really like him. No matter whether they are old fans or new fans, once they see Lin Xing's record, they really think that the star they follow is worth following.

Especially since Lin Xing is still a living person in the domestic entertainment industry.

But those who hate Lin Xing really hate him. For example, those black fans, such as those Lin Xing's opponents, yes, in fact, Lin Xing has never thought that he has opponents. He neither intends to cut leeks by relying on the fan circle, nor does he intend to follow the route of an old artist. He just likes to make dramas, likes to make movies, and likes to try something.

But there are two sentences in this entertainment circle, and they are two contradictory sentences that are very suitable for Lin Xing.

One is that when you become famous, you are surrounded by good people. Think about whether Lin Xing is surrounded by good people all of a sudden after he became famous.

One is that fame will inevitably lead to jealousy. Think about the number of black fans after Lin Xing became famous. Didn't you?

Not only that, there are always some people who want to stab Lin Xing.

These are too normal.

For this reason, Lin Xing's black fans and fans are quite contradictory.

However, it is not black fans or fans who decide whether a star can go far, but passers-by.

So you see, if a star's popularity among passers-by collapses, then no matter how much the fans control the comments, it will be useless.

After all, if a movie relies on the fans of traffic stars, how many hundreds of millions can you make even if you are a top star? ?

In the end, it still depends on passers-by.

This is why Lin Xing does not engage in fan circles. He just thinks that no matter what time, he only needs to give his work to the audience.

There is no need to control comments, let alone press the audience's head to applaud, and even if it flopped, Lin Xing can accept it.

It is precisely because of Lin Xing's mentality that his popularity among passers-by has always been good.

This time, the first wave of fermentation of "Blast Street" was actually passers-by, and then Meng Yan's publicity and promotion followed the trend.

Compared to Chen Sheng in "Fire Pursuit", whose popularity and trust have completely collapsed + An Yifeng's fans are crazy about comment control, Lin Xing defeated them with just his sincerity.

Therefore, the editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly" is actually right.

This year, Lin Xing really needs to clean up and prepare for a promotion.

Of course, in fact, it's not just this year. Last year, or the year before, Lin Xing's status was already very big, wasn't it? ?

It's just that this year Lin Xing once again proved his potential, that is, he still has unlimited possibilities.
