Chapter 442 Getting Worse and Worse, Villain (Please Subscribe)
Lin Xing had just decided which role to play after reading the script. Neither the three brothers of Jinyiwei nor Wei Zhongxian, nor even the godson who wanted to kill Wei Zhongxian, were suitable for Lin Xing.
As for some other supporting roles, they were even more incompatible with Lin Xing.
In fact, Lin Xing also wanted to try the villain, because he felt that although his recent dramas were not repetitive, they were all consistent and positive.
Zhou Bo in "Sweeping Black Waves" was Lin Xing's first villain.
Li Dongsheng in "Evil Kids" was Lin Xing's last villain.
As for the later villains, they all had a sad color, just like Zhao Xiaodao in "Sunspots".
More importantly, Zhao Xiaodao was also quite "positive".
Not to mention Guizi Liu.
Many times, villain roles are also hard to come by. Apart from other things, no movie or TV series will let the protagonist be the villain.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xing can never come across such a script.
Besides, there are so-called unspoken rules in the industry, that is, after playing the leading role, you can never play a supporting role again.
You can never drop your ranking.
You can just look at the ranking disputes in recent years.
Not only traffic stars are fighting for ranking, but more and more veteran actors are also fighting for ranking.
Just like the Magnolia Award, Golden Bear Award and other TV drama awards in the past two years, the ranking disputes between traffic stars and veteran actors have never stopped.
This is an unspoken deal in the industry at present.
Traffic artists are the protagonists, which is to attract investment and good publicity. There is traffic, but why do you let veteran actors play supporting roles for you?
That's very simple. You have to give the veteran actors a good personality, which makes it easy for the veteran actors to win awards and also win the Best Actor Award.
This is the deal.
If you don't believe it, look at "Cars Come and Go", "The Death of Detective Dee", "War of Faith" and so on in recent years.
Traffic artists seem to be the leading actors, but basically the ones who are outstanding are veteran actors, and even the ones who win the Best Actor Award are also veteran actors.
That's why the fans are fighting.
In the eyes of the fans, my brother was screwed and stepped on by the veteran actors. In fact, in the eyes of the industry, your brother should be screwed and happy if he is carried by the old actors.
But this is not the case with Lin Xing.
He has traffic and acting skills. He has always been the only one who can carry others. He doesn't need others to carry him.
So basically, the scripts he received are all the male lead, and even the double male lead doesn't exist.
The male lead must be as positive as can be.
But Lin Xing declined all of them.
Some people also hope that Lin Xing will continue to play the role of a criminal policeman, just like in "The Portrait of the Murderer".
After all, the best policeman in the circle now is Xu Lie. Xu Lie's acting skills are naturally needless to say, but Xu Lie has played too many policemen in recent years.
No matter how good your acting skills are, everyone is a little tired of watching them.
Even some of Xu Lie's fans said: "Brother Lie, can you change to someone else? Don't always stay in your comfort zone?"
Seven or eight dramas a year, six or seven of which are police dramas.
What's the point?
At the age of 45, it's time to work hard, why is he thinking about retirement?
Some people hope that Xu Lie can play a villain or something like that.
Of course, some viewers think it's acceptable, after all, this is a circle that is worse than others.
Compared to watching some brainless idiots and traffic stars acting in stupid dramas, it's really better to watch Xu Lie.
At least Xu Lie's drama is not embarrassing, right?
That's right.
The current entertainment industry is a bottom-line, and some people are calling for those who used to solicit prostitution, cheat, etc. to come out.
Not to mention other things, these people at least have acting skills, right?
Otherwise, why did some people say that when Chinese movies and TV series regressed 30 years, many people said: "There is still such a good thing??"
Now they are all bad.
Either the popular artists are bad, or the directors have all fallen from grace. Here, falling from grace means that they all started to make bad movies.
Let’s not talk about Chu Xingrui. Let’s just say that Ding Yun, who once filmed many classic TV series, filmed the movie "Water Margin", which was rated the worst. Director Ding Yun was so upset that she thought someone was blacking her.
In the past few years, one after another of the great directors who were once very high-profile, respected by the industry, and admired by the audience have fallen from grace.
As for why this happened? ?
It’s really hard to say.
You have to know that these people are not like Ouyang Qing. Ouyang Qing has always been ridiculed and blackened, but whether it is Chu Xingyun or Ding Yun, or even Chen Sheng, He Hongwen and others, they were once the altar, and their health bars were very thick.
But they were still abandoned by the audience.
Let’s not talk about the distant past. Let’s talk about Li Jing who is sitting in the meeting room now. Didn’t he fall from grace?
In fact, before "Eighteen Heroes of the Republic of China", Li Jing had already been the action director of two bad movies.
How to say it? ?
If a movie is popular, then everyone will praise not only the actors and directors, but also the action director.
But what if it flopped? ? ?
Just like the movie "Eighteen Heroes of the Republic of China", Li Jing is the director and action director, so he must take the blame.
Before this movie, Li Jing was the action director of a comedy movie. It was a bad movie made by a group of old comedy actors and some outdated actors. There were not many people who criticized it.
Because these comedians once brought joy to many people, but they are old, but they still act as exaggerated as they were when they were young, which is really disgusting.
Just as some viewers advised Chen Sheng to retire, some viewers said helplessly to these old actors: "Can you please stop ruining my childhood?"
But Lin Xing can still understand it.
It's not shameful to make money.
Many old actors or many outdated actors in this industry don't actually have high incomes. They are already very satisfied with having a job.
They have no qualifications to choose scripts or even roles. Whoever is willing to use them will act with their heart.
After all, there are only a few people in this circle with 2.58 million, and more people are just doing a job.
Just like this short film.
In fact, in addition to using these students, Li Jing will use his former dragon and tiger martial arts teachers for other people.
To put it bluntly, it is to give those martial artists a job.
You know, there is not much room for martial artists to survive now.
Even Li Jing thinks that if Lin Xing really plays the protagonist, maybe this short film can cause more sensation, and some of his old brothers and sisters will have more opportunities.
"Mr. Li, Sister Hui, I really can't play this protagonist."
Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said: "I can play the role of Qi Wei..."
"What??"
Everyone in the whole conference room was a little confused.
You know, the role of Qi Wei is a villain.
