Chapter 428 Celebrating, science fiction? ?
"Killing Arden" Lin Xing followed the whole road show, especially since he experienced life by himself for three months. Even many people did not expect Lin Xing to be so desperate.
No one expected that the road show of "Killing Arden" would be a 24-hour live broadcast. This desperate road show finally made the box office of "Killing Arden" exceed 100 million, which shocked many people. .
Then there is the movie "Sunspot". At first, many people questioned that Lin Xing won it just to win the award. However, the movie turned out to have exceeded 2 billion, and during the road show, Lin Xing was alone. It almost held up the place.
Why since the movie "Sunspot" became a hit, so many people want to invite Lin Xing to make a movie? ?
Even many great directors have specially invited Lin Xing to play roles. Although it is impossible for Lin Xing to be given the male lead, it will definitely make Lin Xing outstanding. This is because they have taken a fancy to Lin Xing's added value.
At that time, many people joked that Lin Xing almost did three or four jobs for one salary.
Even though Lin Xing’s salary is sky-high, the sky-high price is so worth it.
Not to mention anything else, Lin Xing alone has earned tens of millions of dollars.
However, many people still greatly underestimate Lin Xing's ability, and even greatly underestimate Lin Xing's box office appeal.
Everyone knows that TV drama actors have no box-office appeal. Many TV drama actors, even if they are a brother and a sister, the movies they act in are huge box office hits.
There are too few people who can excel in both TV dramas and movies.
But Lin Xing belongs to this kind of person.
In the past month, to be exact, starting from the official release of "Going to Heaven" on April 2, throughout April, plus the May Day holiday, the entire industry was almost in a state of confusion.
You thought that Lin Xing was awesome, but you never thought that Lin Xing would be so awesome.
This is unscientific.
Even the Sixth Princess interviewed Lin Xing five times in a row, and even wrote two reports about "Going to Heaven" in [Film Newspaper] and [Film Weekly].
Content is king.
This is what Lin Xing said most when he was interviewed.
In Lin Xing’s view, domestic audiences have suffered from [content] for too long.
This is not only true for movies, but also for TV series. Many of today's movies and TV series are short videos, and they are not even based on content. They regard movies and TV series as just a commodity.
How to package goods?
How to find selling points from products? ?
What if the audience is allowed to pay for this product? ?
This is also why someone asked Lin Xing this question during the previous road show.
Even many movies have very high box office, but people will stop discussing it after watching it. It seems that this movie does not even exist, but the long tail effect of the movie "Heaven" is so long? ?
In this regard, Lin Xing’s answer was quite sincere, that is, content is king. As a filmmaker, the most important thing is to produce good content, because the audience knows how to appreciate it.
It’s like a dish, did you cook it carefully? Are you being fooled? ?
The audience can see it.
Many times, you can fool the audience once, and you can even make the audience pay for their feelings, but this will not happen next time.
Just like Chu Xingrui, the former king of comedy. Decades ago, he was an unparalleled comedy genius. The comedies he produced were unique. At that time, in the entire China Entertainment Group, there could only be one king of comedy, and that was Chu Xingrui. Rui.
He was not just an actor. Later, several of the films he directed set numerous records.
Let’s put it this way, Chu Xingrui has been with at least three generations of people in the 70s, 80s and 90s, and for those born in the 80s and 90s, Chu Xingrui is everyone’s god.
Because at that time many people watched Chu Xingrui's pirated films, so as the Internet gradually developed and entered a new era, everyone said that we owed Chu Shen a movie ticket.
And Chu Xingrui is indeed capable. He basically wears many hats in one movie, starring, director, screenwriter, producer, chief producer, producer, etc. Each movie is composed by He checks.
But people will grow old, and you may not feel this kind of aging yourself, or you may not feel it gradually, but suddenly one day, you find that you have been completely eliminated by the times.
But often the more genius you are, the easier it is to be paranoid. Just like Chu Xingrui, the little characters he once photographed were completely relatable to everyone, but things gradually began to change later on.
Even when the traffic era emerged in those few years, Chu Xingrui actually started to use traffic artists.
So a movie is not as good as a movie.
At this time, the audience will only say: "I no longer owe Chu Shen movie tickets, and my money did not come from the strong wind."
In addition to Chu Xingrui, there is also the Kung Fu Emperor Chen Sheng. His movies are not as good as each other. The audience even said: "Brother Sheng, please retire, don't lose your security in the late festival."
Therefore, the audience who is overdrawn indefinitely can only be abandoned by the audience in the end.
Among them, Wang Ruoan is another exception. Many people have said that Wang Ruoan is so hypocritical, that Wang Ruoan is not good at singing, and that Wang Ruoan is not good at acting.
But nearly 40 years have passed, and Wang Ruoan has become an evergreen tree in the music industry and a best actor in the film industry. The most important thing is that his works are not garbage, and he continues to produce classic films.
Just because Wang Ruoan cherishes feathers so much is really rare in the entire film industry.
Just like many people said before that Wang Ruo installed it, but Wang Ruo has been installing it for nearly 40 years.
Who the hell can pretend for so long? ?
Because of this, when everyone was mocking Lin Xing's outfit, many people used Wang Ruo'an as an example.
Some people even said that Lin Xing is Xiao Wang Ruoan.
You must know that when Wang Ruoan first debuted, he was a really handsome group, but his acting skills were also quite embarrassing.
But later on, Wang Ruoan relied on his own efforts and gradually won the Best Actor Award.
He is handsome, but he works hard, especially Wang Ruoan, who has extremely strong self-control. There are not more than ten people with this kind of self-control in the entire entertainment industry.
If you look at Lin Xing’s resume, isn’t it almost the same? ?
Of course, Wang Ruoanke has never been on the street. He has been popular for nearly forty years.
So when Lin Xing learned that he was being compared to Xiao Wang Ruoan, Lin Xing quickly waved his hand and said, "It can't be said that Brother An and I are far apart."
This is really not modesty.
Lin Xing really felt that he was far away from Wang Ruoan.
Just like many people said before that it is too difficult to stay popular in this industry. Even Chu Shen eventually ran out of talents, let alone others? ?
Although many people say that the running water does not compete with the first, but the competition is with the continuous flow.
But if you look at the entire entertainment industry, which one can remain popular forever? ? ?
Too little.
Whether they are actors or singers, there are very few who can remain popular. Many of them have become popular without even knowing what happened, and have been eliminated by the market.
Because of this, many people advised Lin Xing to take advantage of the current popularity and quickly find ways to make more money.
If you don’t make money when there is a big fire, then when will you wait? ?
Lin Xing really didn’t care much about this.
What money is made? ?
It’s not that Lin Xing doesn’t like money, but he believes that you must at least do your job well to make money. Besides, being an actor is so interesting. You can experience the joys and sorrows of each character. Lin Xing feels as if he has experienced a lifetime every time he plays a role.
As for making money?
You have lived such a hard life and still keep your eyes on money? ?
How is that possible?
Besides, Lin Xing does not need to be rich now, because no matter how rich he is, he will not be as rich as his friends.
Originally I only had one friend, Xin Hui. After all, when Xin Hui was interviewed, he always said: "I don't care whether others have money or not when I make friends. After all, who can be richer than me??"< br>
Now, because of the movie "Going to Heaven", I have another friend, Liang Yuan.
How to say it? ? ?
Xin Hui is already a Sanbai boy, but Liang Yuan is even more of a Sancai boy.
You have to know that Xin Hui often doesn’t have many hobbies. He mainly wanted to start a business before. Well, in the end, his parents wanted to start a small business.
After all, if Xin Hui starts a business like this, his family will not be able to bear it.
On the contrary, Liang Yuan has many hobbies, such as fishing, being a drama critic, reading online articles, watching anchors, doing live broadcasts by himself, etc.
In short, this guy’s reward starts with ‘10,000’ for reading online articles, and the same goes for watching anchors.
He is a real money-spreading boy.
It can even be said to be a hobby, and I want to try it more.
Because of this, when he saw that Xin Hui actually invested in film and television dramas, Liang Yuan wanted to have a go.
Of course, compared to Xin Hui who has no skills, Liang Yuan is really more capable. In recent years, major film and television companies have not tried to trick him into investing, and even online literary companies have also I hope he, the financial backer, can invest.
However, Liang Yuan declined because he heard Xin Hui say more than once that this circle was too boring.
What's more, think about how much money Xin Hui was cheated.
So, if there is money, Liang Yuan would rather give money to online article authors or anchors.
As a result, when Xin Hui invested in "Killing Ading" and gained fame and fortune, Liang Yuan wanted to play it.
Anyway, tens of millions is just pocket money.
Even during the filming of "Going to Heaven", Liang Yuan really felt that the money spent was too little.
No need to save money for me.
But Liang Yuan is a drama critic and film critic after all. He also reads online articles and even a lot of entertainment articles, so he understands what it means for a movie to have a value of over 3 billion. Condition.
Because of this, Liang Yuan really took full charge of the celebration banquet this time.
“This little money is nothing.”
Liang Yuan said: “After all, we can’t do anything. There seems to be no other way to promote us except to spend money, and I will follow the road show After a few games, I felt a little boring, but it’s hard for me to imagine how energetic you are, Brother Xing. It’s too difficult..."
At first, Liang Yuan really thought that the road show was just about eating, drinking and having fun. What's the big deal? ? ?
It turned out that during the road show, Liang Yuan realized that this was simply suffering.
You must know that the road show is a wheel-and-wheel show, and if you run to the east side in the morning, you may have to run to the west side in the afternoon.
Not to mention that we might have to fight to another city overnight.
Not only that, but the interviews need to be done one after another. You must know that Lin Xing is the leading star in "Going to Heaven". Apart from him, the other people's roles are actually not too big. many.
Even "Going to Heaven" is considered a unit movie.
After all, many actors still have their own scenes to shoot, so it is unrealistic for them to follow the road show from beginning to end.
So, most of the actors are acting piece by piece.
Of course, these actors are quite satisfied. After all, the last thing Liang Yuan and Xin Hui care about is money.
They really provide all kinds of money to these actors.
You must know that for young actors, or for extra actors, often even 10,000 yuan can improve their lives.
After all, they often don’t have thousands of dollars a month because they have absolutely nothing to film.
Everyone persists just for a dream.
Actor’s dream.
But there is no such thing as a pure commoner actor who has become a movie star in recent years. Now they are all Romans.
no way.
Some people are born in Rome, and some people are born as cows and horses.
But again, what circle doesn’t have Romans? ?
Even competitive sports like the Olympics have fucking Romans involved, let alone other circles.
So, everyone in the entertainment industry is struggling, or even waiting for an opportunity, which is gambling.
But after all, who is not betting? ?
Not only actors are gambling, but directors are also gambling. To be honest, many directors do not have various investments like those famous directors. If these famous directors make two movies, there will be investors. .
But ordinary directors are different. Look at Diane, what was his situation after his continuous attacks on the street?
Even his own teacher was unwilling to help him.
Look at Qining, if he hadn’t met Lin Xing, how could he have attracted such a large investment? ?
In comparison, just like Ouyang Qing who blocked Qi Ning, even if he makes a few movies, his movies will never lack investment.
It can even be said that some mission dramas often really require Ouyang Qing to film.
But other directors don’t have this opportunity.
Even if some directors have proven themselves, you can only shoot in the same genre. Otherwise, if you cross genres, it will be difficult for anyone to invest.
Just like Sun Feng who came to the celebration party for "Going to Heaven" today. His last movie was a comedy romance, and he made 300 million at the box office with his small talent.
Then, originally the investors and everyone else thought that Sun Feng would continue to make this type of movies, but who would have thought that Sun Feng would actually make science fiction movies.
This makes other people think that Sun Feng is crazy? ?
The current door to science fiction movies has been closed by the movie "The Fall of the Devil" eight years ago.
