Chapter 467: Pull the watch, far ahead (more)
After chatting with Zu Ming for a few more words, Lin Xing simply hung up the phone.
He wanted to be quiet but couldn't.
Because the short film "Jin Yi Wei" was really strong, if it continued like this, the box office of several hundred million yuan might really be a drop in the bucket.
As a result, more people called Lin Xing.
Li Jing and Situ Hui both called, and the two of them talked about the celebration banquet, because Penguin Video wanted to sweep another wave of posts and then conduct a group interview.
Then there were people who congratulated, invited to dinner, etc.
They are all friends, and when they call to congratulate you, what can you say? ?
What's more, these friends have supported "Jin Yi Wei" with real money, so Lin Xing could only express his gratitude one by one.
As for the invitation to drink, Lin Xing declined politely. He really didn't have time. Not to mention the interviews on Penguin Video for "Jin Yi Wei", there was also the premiere of "Love Is Not Easy" on Zu Ming's side, and "Death on Earth" needed a small gathering, etc.
This does not include the upcoming magazine shoots, endorsement shoots, film weekly interviews, etc.
Because some interviews had already been conducted during the Hundred Flowers Awards, but the success of the short film "Jin Yi Wei" made [Movie Channel] want to invite Lin Xing for another exclusive interview.
Even Minnie is constantly inviting Lin Xing. The last time she recorded a program with Minnie was when "Min Ning Town" was successful. At that time, "Min Ning Town" participated in "Tonight's Drama" on Tan Province Satellite TV. At the same time, the next day Lin Xing recorded "One Day Tour with Mi" on the way to the Magic City.
But since the promotion of "Going to Heaven" after "Min Ning Town", Lin Xing really has no time to record "One Day Tour with Mi". He even has no time to go to the major variety shows of Tan Province Satellite TV.
However, the two have been in contact. Minnie really wants to invite Lin Xing to do a program. After all, every episode of the program with Lin Xing is quite discussed.
But Lin Xing really thinks there is no need.
After all, talk shows are often similar. Since he has already participated in the [Movie Channel] and Penguin Video, there is no need to participate in too many at this time.
Wait until next time, there will be a chance.
This is what Lin Xing said.
Zheng Zhou is preparing the next script. Of course, he still wants to strike while the iron is hot to see if he can work with Lin Xing again. Lin Xing said that he will wait until the script comes out and forget about the wine.
In short, various invitations, congratulations, and dinner calls came one after another, and Lin Xing simply turned off his phone.
This month's schedule is really full.
"Axing, Situ Hui just called me again. He said that Penguin Video's floor visit is scheduled for 3 pm tomorrow. It is a collective live interview..."
Ding Chunling said to Lin Xing: "It seems that Penguin Video wants to take advantage of the opportunity to promote it again this time. I am afraid that there will be too much publicity in the future..."
"Yeah."
Lin Xing nodded gently: "Okay, I know."
Tomorrow, August 7th, Penguin Video will be on the floor visit, which is also considered an interview.
On August 8, Lin Xing was going to shoot the cover and interview of the magazine. After all, September and October are the golden months. As a hot star, Lin Xing would naturally be featured by "Fashion Men's Style" again.
August 9 was the launch conference of "Love Is Not Easy". This was what Zu Ming and Lin Xing said. Because "Love Is Not Easy" was scheduled for the 10th, after all, it would be broadcast online first, so the launch conference would be held one day in advance, and the promotion would definitely continue the next day.
As for the activities after the 9th, they were also one after another.
"Axing, since "Death on Earth" will not start until November, do you want to take a script in these two months?"
Ding Chunling asked Lin Xing: "We can't be idle for two months, so we can take some scripts that don't require experience of life and take too long to prepare. What do you think?"
"If the script is suitable, it's fine."
Lin Xing smiled and said: "But is there a suitable script?"
"I'll help you choose."
Ding Chunling said hurriedly: "As long as you take it, you don't have to worry about the script."
Lin Xing disagreed.
At present, the most worrying thing in the film and television industry is the script, and a good script.
Although major capitals and film and television companies are shouting that "content is king", and even respect creators and screenwriters, etc., they are all killing the chicken to get the eggs.
They think that a good script is like leeks, and there will be another crop after cutting one crop, and they even think that good scripts can grow at any time.
So since last year, the film and television winter has gradually arrived, and many movies and TV series are all complete failures.
Why has "Jin Yiwei" attracted such a big response since it was launched on Penguin Video yesterday? ?
On the one hand, the audience has been suffering from bad dramas for a long time, and suddenly there is a good short film that makes the audience willing to pay for it. This is the most important reason why "Jin Yiwei" became a hit on the first day.
On the one hand, film and television companies, investors and many people in the industry have discovered that there is still a market for martial arts films and people are willing to watch action films. They are even ready to copy and paste them in batches.
From this, we can also see that the industry really has no intention to prepare the script properly. According to the thinking of many big bosses: "I can succeed by copying, why should I work so hard to create original works?"
The more critical point is that creating original works may not necessarily succeed. A good script may take a year or a half, or even two or three years. This time is too long. What if it takes another year or a half to shoot, and the drama or film is not successful in the last few years, it will be a flop.
Wouldn't that be a big loss? ?
Instead of that, it's better to quickly write the script, shoot quickly, release quickly, and get the money back quickly.
Don't be afraid of bad points, we will find a marketing account to blow it up.
Don't be afraid of criticism, the more criticism, the more traffic.
Use a few more traffic artists, let the fans of traffic artists help maintain it, and it will basically be done.
This has always been everyone's routine. Let's put it this way. Lin Xing, who works diligently and only shoots one or two dramas a year, studies the script, tries hard to experience life, and does not overlap with other dramas during filming, is a special case. The top leaders of the entire domestic entertainment industry can find such people.
Even Wang Ruoan can't do this, otherwise how can he be called a model worker? ? ?
Of course, the requirements of fans and audiences have changed now. In the past, if an artist joined the group seamlessly, he would be scolded, but now he will be praised for his ambition.
Let's not talk about other people, let's talk about the current professional policeman Fan Le. He had worked with Kong Tian in "Sweeping Black Storm" before. At that time, Zheng Zhou wanted to invite Lin Xing to the show, but Lin Xing declined, so Kong Tian and Fan Le worked together.
How to say it? ?
Fan Le is a good actor, and also a talented actor, but he has to shoot almost six or seven dramas a year, most of which are police.
In Fan Le's words, I also want challenges, I also want good scripts, but there are none, even the scripts of the dramas I took on are not complete.
But I am an actor, all I can do is not play my role badly, and I can't control the rest.
There are many old actors like Fan Le in the entertainment industry, and they are even worse than Fan Le, because they almost belong to the lying-flat acting method, anyway, they are playing themselves in any drama.
There is no way.
Even if they play themselves, their acting skills are better than those of the traffic actors or other actors in the same crew.
This is due to the overall environment.
It is difficult to change.
Lin Xing also said before that he did not intend to change the environment. All he could do was control himself, choose good scripts, act well, and be a good person.
Let him do whatever else.
Because Lin Xing has such an attitude, he will not be constrained by capital like other artists.
But it is precisely because of this that Lin Xing can create miracles again and again.
Because there is no blind interference from capital, and no blind changes from other artists in the crew, good scripts can be presented.
Just like this time's "Jin Yi Wei".
The three leading actors Xie Long, Meng Fei, and Zhang Ming are not qualified to change their own plays. All they can do is to play themselves well.
Old actors such as Zhou Hai and Niu Xiaofeng are more Buddhist. They can play their roles well. They don't have to add more scenes for me like some old actors.
Then there are top stars like Lin Xing. Not only did Lin Xing not add more scenes for himself in the crew, he even gave up a lot of scenes.
Everything is for the script, everything is for the final presentation.
Only in this way can we have such a qualified short film.
After all, Situ Hui and Li Jing are responsible for the final effect. They want to use this short film as a promotional film for their [Jingwutang], so naturally they will not do anything for the prominence of a certain artist.
In this way, the whole play can be considered a success.
But the outside world doesn't think much.
At present, a large number of people are piling the success of "Jinyiwei" on Lin Xing.
"Good guy, what did I say before? Lin Xing has really been creating miracles."
"Yes, I think so too. To be honest, the short film "Jinyiwei" was really brought to life by Lin Xing."
"Before, some people thought that Lin Xing would not be the number one in the online movie, but now it's good, he is directly the number one in the online movie."
"Didn't you see that Qi Dongqiang has posted several Weibo and videos in a row? He thanked Lin Xing for expanding the online movie market."
...
This large group of people are typical onlookers.
If the short film "Jin Yi Wei" really flopped at the box office, they would even turn around and immediately say how bad Lin Xing was.
Again, most people will support whoever wins.
As for real industry insiders, in the forums of online movies, many people are analyzing why the important reason for the success of "Jin Yi Wei" is still the script.
An insider said that Li Jing invited 5 big guys to write the script of "Jin Yi Wei" together, and even specially invited history professors to be consultants. Although it is just a short film, to be honest, the importance of the script in this short film is no less than that of the movie.
In addition, even Lao Zhong also said on his Weibo: "Those who have turned the success of "The King's Guard" into entertainment, those who say that Lin Xing's filming will be a hit, and those who say that without Lin Xing, there would be no success of "The King's Guard", I think they are all disrespectful to "The King's Guard" and also disrespectful to Lin Xing.
You can start with "Sweeping Black Waves" and take a closer look at what Lin Xing has been doing.
He is a person who takes the script seriously.
…
"Lao Zhong is right. Lin Xing's success seems accidental, but it is inevitable."
"That's right. Take "Never Breaking Line" as an example. If Dong Yang played the protagonist, it might be more popular. This is the power of the script."
"Yes, to put it bluntly, respect the script and respect the originality, and then you can succeed."
"Yes, look at why "Sweeping Black Waves" was a great success, but "Sweeping Black Storm" has mixed reviews? Isn't it because Zheng Zhou wants to please others?"
…
"Why do I like Lao Zhong? It's because Lao Zhong has always been relatively fair. She didn't blindly praise Lin Xing, she used data to praise Lin Xing."
"Damn, compared to blindly praising, I think using data to praise is more awesome."
"But I'd like to know if Penguin Video will announce the 24-hour box office of "The King's Guards" later?"
"Of course it will. It broke 60 million in 16 hours, so it should break 80 million in 24 hours."
...
Everyone is guessing the 24-hour data of "The King's Guards".
And Penguin Video did release the 24-hour data of "The King's Guards" later.
"Oh my god, it only made less than 10 million in the last few hours?"
"I thought "The King's Guards" would definitely make 80 million???"
"Yeah, it made 60 million in 16 hours, how come it didn't even make 8 million in the last 8 hours?"
...
"It would be great if it could make 100 million in 24 hours, I think it's a bit low to make only 70 million in 24 hours."
"I think it's a bit low too."
...
"You guys above really don't understand online movies, Do you know what it means to break 8 million in 8 hours after 16 hours of release? ? "
"Some online movies nowadays can't break 2 million in a month. Even Qi Dongqiang, who is the No. 1 online movie star, took him three months to break 8 million in his last online movie. "
"Damn, 8 million is not a lot of money in your eyes? ? "
"Anyone who knows about the online movie market knows how awesome "The Royal Guards" is. "
...
At this time, the official Weibo of "The Royal Guards" also started to list tables.
So far, "The Royal Guards" has just been online for 24 hours, and the box office has just broken 70 million.
At the same time, all data such as popularity, barrage, number of comments, Weibo topic discussion, data network forum discussion, B station secondary creation discussion, etc. are all ranked first.
50 records, and at the end it says "etc.".
In other words, it is impossible to praise "The Royal Guards" by drawing a table.
It's so damn awesome.
What is the No. 1 online movie star?
What is the ceiling of online movies? ?
What does it mean to be far ahead? ? ?
Please look at the data of "The King's Guards" and you will know.
Even so, a lot of people still say that it is a pity that it did not break 100 million. It simply made many online movie investment companies and actors bite their teeth.
It is too infuriating, isn't it?
At the same time, Penguin Video once again announced that the main creators will broadcast live at 3 pm tomorrow, and everyone will talk about why "The King's Guards" is so popular.
