Chapter 401: Don’t Give Face, Go to Heaven

Lin Xing has actually heard of Qi Ning, but this is not because Qi Ning's works are so awesome. On the contrary, it is because Qi Ning, as a screenwriter, often complains about the current market.

The most important thing is that Qining and Kong Shan are different. Kong Shan only dares to complain about Xiaoxianrou. Even Kong Shan, a big screenwriter in the circle, dare not complain.

But Qining was different. He really complained about them all.

In his opinion, no means no.

The current film and television dramas are fundamentally wrong. The screenwriters are not good, the directors are not good, and the actors are not good. And then the capital still wants to make them look bad.

It's just a hard-packed work and the idea of ​​creating a god.

Qining has really said a lot over the years. He even thinks that many capable screenwriters should cherish their own feathers and not even look for guns all the time.

That's right.

Qi Ning really doesn't like some old screenwriters controlling the market, or even outsourcing at all levels.

Because of this, Qining is really not liked by people in the industry. Several of his own screenwriters are quite good, so he has a certain say.

Qi Ning and Ren Yi have known each other for ten years. It was a script written by Qi Ning and Ren Yi came to make a cameo. Later, in another script written by Qi Ning, Ren Yi directly played the male lead.

After going back and forth, the two of them had similar temperaments, so naturally they became more and more familiar with each other.

This time Ren Yi was filming a drama, Qining came to Jiangcheng to collect news, and then came to visit Ren Yi.

So there was this little gathering.

In addition to Ren Yi and Qi Ning, there were two other actresses present. Ren Yi also introduced them. One was Ren Yi's senior sister, Qi Qiuyu, who was also from the Film Academy, and the other was Ren Yi, who was also from the Film Academy. Ji Qin, a primary school girl.

"Hello, Brother Xing, I really like you so much..."

Ji Qin has not yet graduated from film school. This time she plays Ren Yi's daughter in this drama.

Speaking of which, Ji Qin should be called Uncle Ren Yi, because Ji Qin's father, Ji Jue, and Ren Yi are good buddies. They used to be brothers in bunk beds.

Ji Qin is a second-generation celebrity. When she was a child, she and Ji Jue participated in variety shows together. However, Ji Jue did not want his daughter to enter the entertainment industry prematurely, so Ji Qin had never acted before.

This is Ji Qin's first acting time, and Ji Jue thinks that his daughter is now a junior, so it's time for her to act.

As the saying goes, the starting point of some people is the ending point of countless people.

Feng Qing was like this in the past, and Ji Qin is like this now.

Of course, it's hard to say whether you can break out later. After all, big names in this industry rely on their lives, while little ones rely on support.

Take Ren Yi's senior sister Qi Qiuyu, she also started at a very high level, but in recent years she really hasn't had many opportunities and can only play some roles like mother-in-law and mother-in-law.

Even in a few years, she feels that she will have to play grandma and grandma.

"Axing, why did you come to Jiangcheng??"

After Ren Yi introduced Lin Xing, he then looked at Lin Xing and asked with some confusion: "I heard Zheng Zhou say a few days ago that he wanted to meet you, but Zheng Zhou said you were no longer in the capital, so I still I thought you were filming another drama..."

"No, it was really painful to shoot the movie "Sunspot". My spirit was tense all the time, and it's not like you don't know that I am an experiential person..."

Lin Xing smiled bitterly and said: "So I haven't recovered yet..."

"Axing, I'm not talking about you, you sometimes work a little too hard."

Ren Yi naturally understood Lin Xing's character. Even if Ning Ping said that he was a maniac, he was naturally too fierce, so Ren Yi advised Lin Xing from the perspective of a big brother.

Now that we are young, we can still work hard, but how many people are suffering from illnesses? ?

Actors, especially those who are experienced, are often most likely to be depressed or unable to perform.

However, Ren Yi knew that Lin Xing broke himself down time and time again during filming, and then reorganized himself. Let’s not talk about the two literary films "Killing Arden" and "Sunspot". How did Lin Xing do it? of? ?

Just seeing that he is completely connected with Lin Xing's previous roles, you may not even recognize Lin Xing.

That's why Ren Yi was worried about Lin Xing's health.

Not many actors can withstand such a crazy experience.

"Thank you, Brother Yi. I know, so I am planning to take a break after the road show of "Sunspot" is over..."

Lin Xing said with a smile.

"That's okay, just relax and have a rest."

Ren Yi didn't say anything more. Originally, Ren Yi wanted to introduce Qi Ning and Lin Xing to get to know each other, and then Qi Ning had a script for Lin Xing to read.

But since Lin Xing wanted to take a break, Ren Yi stopped mentioning it.

"Brother Yi, are you in trouble??"

Lin Xing had just heard on the phone that Ren Yi seemed to have something to do, and now it sounded like Ren Yi had something else to do, so Lin Xing smiled and said directly: "There is no need for politeness between us, just say what you have to say directly."

Ren Yi smiled after listening to Lin Xing's words: "There is indeed something. Qi Ning has written a movie script. I originally wanted you to read it to see if you are interested..."

Qi Ning has been writing scripts in the past few years, and he is writing movie scripts. He does not want some directors to modify his scripts randomly anymore. He wants to direct it himself.

Yes.

Qi Ning wanted to be a director himself, and he had been writing this script for a long time. He went to various places to collect ideas and then thought about perfecting the script.

Let me put it this way, Qi Ning gave up a lot of work for this script.

Hearing that it was about the script, Lin Xing refused without a second thought: "Brother Yi, Teacher Qi, I really don't want to do this for the time being, because I don't plan to take any more roles in the next two months. I just said that I just want to relax..."

Qi Ning hurriedly said: "Teacher Lin, I am still in the preparation stage for this script, and it should be a few months later if it is really going to be filmed. If you have time, you can take a look. It's okay if you are not interested. I heard from Brother Yi that you are more familiar with the script. You can give some advice when the time comes..."

Lin Xing said: "Teacher Qi, you call me Ah Xing is fine, I really can't take on this teacher..."

"I say, do you two really need to be so polite? ? "

Ren Yi was a little speechless: "We are all friends, don't call each other teacher, Ah Xing, just call Qi Ningning brother..."

"Okay."

Lin Xing nodded gently, and then said: "Then Brother Ning, please send me the script later, we will add each other as friends first, but I may not have time to read it recently..."

Qi Ning said: "Okay, no problem."

Then they just ate and chatted, Ji Qin also added Lin Xing as a friend, and took a photo with Lin Xing.

"Brother Xing, can I post it online? ? "

Ji Qin is still a child after all, she thinks that she has succeeded in chasing stars, so she naturally thinks about posting it online at this time.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "Don't post it for the time being, I just want to stay away from all the spotlights now..."

"Ah?"

Ji Qin was slightly stunned, but still said: "Okay."

"Ah Xing, how many days are you going to stay in Jiangcheng? ? "

Ren Yi asked Lin Xing.

Lin Xing said: "It's almost time to leave. I've been here for more than half a month..."

"I was thinking about you visiting my crew, but forget it, since you want to stay away from the spotlight, it's not appropriate to visit the crew at this time..."

Ren Yi thought for a while and said: "Then I won't see you off when you leave. Let's get together again when we return to the capital..."

"It's not that exaggerated..."

Lin Xing laughed a little: "I want to stay away from the spotlight, but this doesn't mean I can't visit the crew, and my visit today doesn't mean that your crew has to use me for publicity."

To be honest, Lin Xing came out to relax. He felt that as long as this part of the visit was not publicized, it didn't matter.

Besides, what if it was really publicized? ?

Lin Xing just wanted to stay away from the spotlight. He was not dead. Even his coming to Jiangcheng was not unknown. Some people still took some photos.

He just didn't want to be on the hot search again, which was also the reason why Lin Xing didn't let Ji Qin post photos.

If Ji Qin really posted a group photo, Lin Xing really didn't overestimate his traffic. He might have rushed to the hot search again in an instant, which would be a mess.

The TV series that Ren Yi filmed this time is called "Long Time No See", which is directed by Ding Fei. Ding Fei has filmed many classic TV series, but they have been flops in recent years, so there are not many good scripts.

This time, Ding Fei used his own favors for "Long Time No See". He invited Ren Yi to play the male lead and Miao Wei to play the female lead. In addition, he also invited drama bones like Qi Qiuyu.

In short, the lineup of "Long Time No See" is still good.

But all of this is Ding Fei's own connections and resources, especially the favors he used.

But favors are often used less and less, what's the saying?

Yes.

There is a give and take, you help me once, and I help you once.

But Ding Fei's resources have been downgraded after the flops, so his favors are used less and less.

Take Ren Yi for example. He can help Ding Fei once this time, but he won't do so next time.

After all, Ren Yi also needs to cherish his reputation.

The same is true for other actors.

It can be said that if Ding Fei hadn't directed "Long Time No See" this time, it would be impossible to invite Ren Yi, Miao Wei and others to this script.

Just like this, you can understand Ding Fei's mentality.

That is to use all means to make this TV series achieve good results.

Therefore, when Ding Fei knew that Lin Xing was coming to visit the set, his first reaction was to let the crew get ready and let the assistant director prepare for the whole process of filming.

This is excellent publicity.

Especially since Lin Xing is very popular recently, it would be great if Lin Xing came to visit the set and made a guest appearance in one or two scenes at this time.

Just like this, Ding Fei was really well prepared. He even invited several actors in the crew who had a good relationship with Lin Xing.

In short, in one sentence: I hope Lin Xing will give me face.

Half an hour later, Lin Xing came to the crew of "Long Time No See" and met all the actors in the crew.

"It's been a long time since we last saw this show, and it's really been a long time since I last saw you all."

Lin Xing looked at everyone and said with a smile.

Some of the people present had worked with Lin Xing in "Bad Kids", "Death Bell" and "Never Breaking".

How to say it?

They are all drama bones, but they are all actors with good cost performance without much fame.

Among them is Huo Li, who played Jia Ying in "If There Is No Tomorrow". She plays the second female in this drama.

From the third female in the web drama to the second female in the TV drama, it has to be said that Huo Li has also achieved resource upgrades.

Everyone chatted briefly, and then Ding Fei said: "Axing, how about filming a scene?"

Lin Xing declined politely: "Director Ding, Brother Yi knows me. I just finished the road show and I'm on vacation. Besides, I haven't gotten over the drama "Sunspots" yet, so forget it."

"Ah Xing, it's just one scene. Your role is just a temporary guest appearance..."

Ding Fei smiled and said: "And I don't think you need to act at all. Just show up in the main scene..."

It's obvious that Ding Fei just wants to use Lin Xing's fame. It doesn't even matter what role Lin Xing plays.

If Ding Fei really has a role suitable for Lin Xing to guest star, even if he writes a sincere role for Lin Xing, Lin Xing may not be able to refuse and play it.

But it's obvious that there is nothing, just want to take advantage of Lin Xing's popularity. How can Lin Xing agree? ?

The moral kidnapping trick is really useless to hold Lin Xing back.

For this reason, Lin Xing said that he really wanted to work with the actors, but at the same time he also said that he was not in good condition now and he couldn't act because it was disrespectful to the audience.

One hour later, Lin Xing's visit ended.

"Axing, don't take it personally."

When sending Lin Xing away, Ren Yi said helplessly: "Actually, Ding Fei has no other choice. After all, he is under too much pressure now. If this movie fails again, he may only be able to shoot low-budget movies in the future."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "I understand, but I don't agree. It is precisely because of the pressure and the fear of failure that we should work hard on the script and try to find ways to make the show good, instead of thinking of taking shortcuts..."

Ren Yi smiled bitterly: "How can it be that easy? And many times, the harder you work, the more it fails, just like Ding Fei actually worked very hard on the last show But the result was still not good, so he was anxious this time. "

Lin Xing still didn't agree: "I always think the best shortcut is to be down-to-earth. If you fail once, then find a way to stand up again. Look at Diane, didn't she fail in two movies, but he didn't make do with the script for the third movie."

Ren Yi laughed: "Diane should be grateful to meet you, but the movie "Killing Ading" is really good."

Lin Xing chatted with Ren Yi while walking outside: "Okay, Brother Yi, don't see me off, let's meet again in the capital."

"Okay."

Lin Xing nodded gently.

On the way back, he took a look at the script. The name of the script was quite interesting. It was called "Going to Heaven", and it was about the funeral industry.

But Lin Xing received a call from Ren Yi just after arriving at the hotel: "Axing, I'm sorry."
