Chapter 449: Personal Struggles Must Also Take Into Account the Course of History

This time, the premiere of "The Age of Fighting" was quite big. Although the male lead was Lin Xing, this TV series was the most critical to Zheng Zhou.

Because Zheng Zhou can no longer afford to lose.

Zheng Zhou made too many compromises in "The Age of Fighting". Not only did he give the male lead to Lin Xing, but he also didn't even interfere with the screenwriting and directing.

He just acts as the second male lead and nanny.

Directors, screenwriters, actors, investors, broadcast platforms, etc. all need to communicate, but this time Zheng Zhou is just a nanny.

Before putting it aside, Zheng Zhou is someone who wants to take care of everything. He wants to take care of this and that. To use a hot word on the Internet, he is ‘full of daddy’.

Even Zheng Zhou is not aware of this "daddy flavor" in many cases. He can also see that the variety shows he produced were good at the beginning but gradually became annoying to passers-by.

What should I say? ?

Zheng Zhou is surrounded by good people, even because he is a screenwriter, actor, director, teacher at the Imperial Film School, producer, and owner of a film and television company.

You say, who dares to say that he is wrong?

In fact, it was a good thing for Zheng Zhou, because after he discovered something was wrong, he stopped the variety show, and then sorted everything out, otherwise there would not be a drama like "The Age of Fighting".

Think about Ouyang Qing, has anything changed over the years? ?

That's really not the case at all.

Because Ouyang Qing can't listen to other people's opinions at all now, let alone the truth.

Anyway, Ouyang Qing is already this age. He himself said in an interview: "Now I only have one less film to make, and I just want to film my own ideas. As for many current audiences, their appreciation level is actually far behind. In the past, even many of my films cannot be appreciated by current audiences, but I believe they will like them in 20 years..."

There is nothing wrong with what Ouyang Qing said, because the movie "Death of a Knight" he made 20 years ago was criticized by many people. Everyone thought that you, Ouyang Qing, couldn't make a martial arts film.

But later, with the interest of the Internet, more and more people interpreted the movie "Death of a Knight".

It's so magical a lot of the time.

At that time, a lot of people thought that "Death of a Knight" was a hoax, thinking that it was a martial arts film but it looked like a spy drama. Everyone even said that half of the film should be left in half, etc., which was simply untrue.

How do you think a knight can be like this? ?

But with the development of the Internet, a lot of people have interpreted "Death of a Knight", and this movie seems to have become a phenomenal work.

Therefore, this is what Ouyang Qing meant when he said that many of his films will be liked in 20 years.

He is blindly confident in this aspect.

But having said that, if a creator doesn’t even have self-confidence, he will definitely not be able to create any good works.

But what Ouyang Qing doesn't know is that times have changed first. Whether a movie is good or not, the most important thing you should do is respect the audience. Even if the audience you filmed can't understand it, it's definitely not the audience's problem.

Secondly, in the past 20 years, how many movies were made that were bad and then became good?

More often than not, it was a bad movie back then, and it will still be a bad movie later.

Ouyang Qing can't change, but it doesn't matter even if it's still a bad movie. He is the best choice for some blockbusters and even movies with the main theme.

This is status.

But Zheng Zhou was different.

Zheng Zhou may be okay in the TV drama industry, but he is far behind in the movie industry, otherwise he would not have been involved in the TV drama industry.

But now Zheng Zhou can hardly survive in the TV drama industry, so of course he is anxious.

For this reason, Zheng Zhou almost put all his money into "The Age of Fighting", so there were too many friends from the industry coming to the premiere.

Of course, people like An Yifeng, Yang Tian, ​​and Tang Yishan came not just because of Zheng Zhou, they all came for Lin Xing.

Yang Tian didn't say anything for the time being. An Yifeng now felt that it was too late to say anything. She just told Lin Xing to speak as soon as possible if she needed help later.

Not to mention Tang Yishan, she knew that she might have offended Lin Xing, but she still wanted to relax.

Compared to the three women, Wang Lu is more direct.

"Axing, why don't you invite me??"

Wang Lu asked first when he saw Lin Xing.

Lin Xing smiled and said: "You are an actress with a box office of 3 billion now. I'm afraid I won't be able to hire you."

You must know that Wang Lu also gave a good performance in "Going to Heaven".

In today's industry, most of the time, as long as you play a role, the billions in box office are yours.

It is precisely because of this that many so-called actors and actresses with tens of billions in box office are empty.

Just like Wang Lu, even though her role in "Going to Heaven" is not too many, it is still part of her resume.

With his performance in "Going to Heaven", Wang Lu has successfully entered the film industry.

But it was impossible for her to take on the leading female role, so in this part Wang Lu just played something special.

The good thing about this kind of role is that there is a certain amount of potential in the role. If you play it well, you will be successful.

At the same time, you don’t need to support the box office with these characters.

Even if the movie really hits the streets, it has nothing to do with you.

In this respect, Wang Lu is quite smart.

In fact, regarding "Death on Earth", Lin Xing did not consider letting Wang Lu play the leading female role.

It's not that she is not beautiful, but her kind of beauty is not suitable for the leading female role. Not only that, she does not have the skills of fighting scenes.

Moreover, after Lin Xing asked An Yifeng and Tang Yishan, he simply prepared to choose ordinary actors.

Anyway, "Death on Earth" was recognized by everyone for its script and special effects. To put it bluntly, there is not much that actors can change.

It doesn't matter who is used? ?

"Axing, please stop making fun of me. What kind of actress am I with a box office of 3 billion? Don't you know how I became like this?"

Wang Lu said speechlessly: "Don't change the subject. I don't believe that there is no role suitable for me in "Death on Earth"?"

"Are you really going to act???"

Lin Xing smiled at Wang Lu and asked: "Everyone thinks that "Death on Earth" will definitely fail. Aren't you worried?"

"What should I worry about? I'm not An Yifeng and the others. I haven't even entered the film industry yet. What's the point of failure?"

Wang Lu said disapprovingly: "As long as I can play a role in the movie, Axing, I'm serious. Even a small role is fine."

"Okay, you read the original work of "Death on Earth" these days, and then see which character you like? Then write a character biography for each character..."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said: "But don't think about the female lead. Others are fine."

"Okay."

Wang Lu said hurriedly.

Obviously, Wang Lu is really not very picky.

As long as there is a role to play, it's fine.

"We'll talk later, I'll go first."

At this time, Lin Xing saw Zheng Zhou calling him over, so he chatted with Wang Lu for a few words and went straight over.

Just as Lin Xing went over, Tang Yishan came over.

In fact, Tang Yishan and Wang Lu have a good relationship, so Tang Yishan said to Wang Lu: "Are you really going to play "Death on Earth"? "

"Yes, but it depends on which role you play..."

Wang Lu nodded gently.

Tang Yishan advised: "Wang Lu, you should know that everyone is avoiding Lin Xing's "Death on Earth". Why are you still rushing up???"

"I understand what you mean, but I believe in Lin Xing. He has never failed..."

Wang Lu said to Tang Yishan: "Actually, I also advised you to play a role. Haven't you always said that you want to go to the film industry but can't find an opportunity? This time is such a good opportunity..."

"I haven't told you yet, I have rejected Lin Xing before."

Tang Yishan said with some amusement: "If Lin Xing invited me to play other types, then I would definitely go without thinking, but this is science fiction, science fiction is even cooler than martial arts, I am full and want to play this..."

Listening to Tang Yishan's words, Wang Lu said nothing more.

She just felt that Tang Yishan was thinking too beautifully.

How could you take all the good things in this circle in many cases?

To put it more bluntly, if Lin Xing really had other types, then why did he have to invite Tang Yishan? ? ?

Now, no matter what, the investment in the movie "Death on Earth" is heading for 200 million yuan, and if you can play the leading female role in such a big production movie, how many people are eager for it? ? ?

But Tang Yishan felt that the movie would definitely fail, so she didn't want to choose it.

"What if? What if the box office of this movie is a big hit? ? ? "

Wang Lu wanted to ask Tang Yishan, but she finally gave up the idea.

Because there is actually no point in asking this question.

If she said it a little more, Tang Yishan would definitely think that the box office would fail before she dared to do so.

Let time decide.

At this time, the premiere of "The Age of Fighting" began. Basically, it was a set of procedures. Lin Xing also expressed why he took on this TV series.

"I always feel that sometimes choices determine destiny, just like the role I played in this TV series, every choice he made is crucial"

At the premiere, Lin Xing first talked about the situation and understanding of the role he played in the TV series.

Of course, Lin Xing finally said that personal struggles should also consider the course of history.

If the country is not getting better and better, more choices are useless.

Some people mistake the dividends of the times for their own abilities, such as the character played by Zheng Zhou in the play.

This is also the charm of this play.

Or it can be said that "The Age of Struggle" is a group of references, and Lin Xing and Zheng Zhou are two opposing groups.

Anyway, judging from the first two episodes, Zheng Zhou's performance in such a character is quite good this time.

Of course, everyone is more amazed at Lin Xing's acting skills.

It's really too strong.

You know, the male protagonist in "The Age of Struggle" is actually not easy to play. If such a role is played hard, it may become a black-bellied person, but if it is played lightly, it may become a white lotus.

This is also a main theme TV series, and it involves the large layoffs and various painful reforms of that year.

But at this time, whether it is the lines or the acting of the protagonist played by Lin Xing, if he presents it in a way like "If I don't get laid off, who will get laid off?" or "For the sake of the overall situation, you should sacrifice yourself", then I am afraid that this character will instantly become the most annoying protagonist for everyone.

Just like in the previous anti-corruption dramas, why are some high-end male protagonists not popular?

In the end, everyone even likes the villains.

The reason is the same.

And this time, "The Age of Struggle" basically eliminated this situation from the beginning.

In fact, the script that Lin Xing got at the beginning, especially the role he played, was actually a little bit out of touch with reality.

An idealist does not mean being out of touch with reality.

Especially in "The Age of Struggle", when the protagonist became the leader of a state-owned enterprise, he was actually a little out of touch with the masses at this time, but he still had to go to the masses.

For this reason, after the role of Lin Xing was broadcast for a week, as the drama gradually became popular, Lao Zhong also posted a Weibo.

In short, Lao Zhong believes that many of the roles played by Lin Xing now are out of touch with his own shadow.

If you look at the many roles played by Lin Xing, you will find that no matter which role Lin Xing plays, he is completely different.

In other words, Lin Xing can also be regarded as a TV King with a thousand faces.

Of course, what Lao Zhong is most concerned about now is the upcoming Hundred Flowers Awards, because she wants to see whether the movie "Never Breaking Line" can win the Best Actor Award.

You should know that among "Never Breaking Line", Lin Xing has the highest voice at present.

"Old Zhong is right. I always think that if Lin Xing is already very strong, but he always surprises me, I hope he can win the Hundred Flowers Award now."

"I think Lin Xing is completely worthy of the title of the Thousand-Faced Movie Emperor, but Lin Xing has too few movies. I just don't know when "Death on Earth" can be released."

"I think this movie is a bit difficult. I heard from Lin Xing that it is a science fiction movie and a special effects blockbuster. It will take at least a few years."

"Yes, I think so too. It's possible that this movie will take a few years to shoot. I remember that "The Fall of the Demon City" took about three years to shoot?"

"Upstairs, don't talk about "The Fall of the Demon City". Damn, this movie is really rubbish. I don't want "Death on Earth" to be so rubbish."

"You're off track. Let's talk about the Hundred Flowers Award."

...

While everyone was discussing, "The Age of Struggle" also had a soaring ratings. This TV series has only 30 episodes in total, and it is rare and compact. Lin Xing has played from a college student to 40 years old.

Of course, Lin Xing has played a character with a big age span like Hong Yi before, so this is really not a big deal.
