Chapter 520: Confidentiality, Fantasy, Rejection

Because we had to talk about things, we didn't drink too much at Zhengzhou Hotpot Restaurant, not to mention that Lin Xing had to meet Guo Haishan tomorrow.

That's right.

After all, it's almost November now, and Guo Haishan had almost finished creating the skits in the early stage. The next step is to get used to it.

Of course, as long as it's not on the Spring Festival Gala in advance, there will always be changes, not to mention that every review has to be revised over and over again.

Lin Xing, who has been on the Spring Festival Gala once, has a deep understanding of this, after all, his program at that time was also adjusted temporarily.

This is still singing, and it would be even more difficult if it were a skit.

To be honest, it is becoming increasingly difficult to perform comedy effects in skits nowadays, because many skits have begun to become tragic.

It starts with a happy beginning and ends with a sad ending, as if a skit is not a good skit if it doesn't make people cry at the end.

Not only that, some skits are increasingly trying to educate people. You should know that Guo Haishan is actually very opposed to this. He thinks that skits are often just to make people laugh.

Think about it, during the Chinese New Year, others watch your skit and you educate others on how to do it?

Isn't this just annoying? ?

For this reason, Guo Haishan's skits are meant to amuse the audience from beginning to end, and at the same time, he tries his best to get close to the audience and educate the audience without being condescending.

This time, Guo Haishan is on the Spring Festival Gala for the last year, and his body can no longer support such rehearsals and dress rehearsals every year.

Since it is the last year of the Spring Festival Gala, Guo Haishan thinks that he must have a beginning and an end no matter what.

He still remembers that when he was on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, he played a farmer at that time, and this time Guo Haishan still wants to write such a script.

More importantly, he wants to make some comedy jokes through conflicts.

For this reason, Guo Haishan specially invited his partner for many years, Fan Zhishan, who has written many classic skit scripts, to write.

At the same time, Guo Haishan originally wanted to invite his old partner Liu Baofeng to act together, because the two of them had worked together on many classic scripts.

This is the last session, and Guo Haishan wants to bow out with Liu Baofeng.

But it's too difficult.

You should know that Liu Baofeng has not performed in the Spring Festival Gala for nearly ten years. He even wanted to escape the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.

Now he is used to filming in the crew, and he is not young anymore. It is really difficult for him to continue to perform during the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala.

It is not that he can't do it, but Liu Baofeng does not want to bear such great pressure.

For this reason, Liu Baofeng can only decline.

At this time, Fan Zhishan suggested that Lin Xing could play. First, since this program is about farming, Lin Xing's performance in "Let's Farm" was quite good.

In addition, Fan Zhishan really likes the "Protagonist and Supporting Actor" in "Comedy Must Be Laughing".

Let's put it this way, if Fan Zhishan were to write such a script, he might not be able to write it.

For this reason, Fan Zhishan thought that he could invite Lin Xing to play the role of "Teacher Lin" in it, and Lin Xing and Guo Haishan would play against each other, and the two people would form a contrast.

One is a city dweller, and the other is a laborer.

This is why Lin Xing was invited by Guo Haishan.

As I said before, every decision you make in life may affect your future.

If Lin Xing had not participated in "Comedy Must Be Laughing", he might not have been seen by Fan Zhishan.

"Axing, you have participated in the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years."

When Zheng Zhou heard that Lin Xing was actually performing a skit on the Spring Festival Gala, he was indeed a little surprised: "Not bad, if you can really succeed in performing a skit, that's not bad."

"Axing, what skit are you performing?"

Tang Zhong asked Lin Xing with some concern.

Lin Xing shook his head slightly: "It's a comedy, but I think we shouldn't talk about the details now."

Hearing this, Tang Zhong suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand, the Spring Festival Gala should indeed be kept secret."

Zheng Zhou smiled and said: "Old Tang, you should still care about whether Lin Xing is willing to participate in our work."

Tang Zhong smiled and said: "Axing, go back and take a good look at this script. If you really want to act, then we can talk about everything else. Anyway, the script is still in the initial preparation stage, and I can still make changes."

"Brother Zhong, I have to go back and take a look first. I just took a rough look just now, but I have to go back and take a closer look at the details."

Lin Xing said: "Actually, I also want to make a TV series now, but my top priority is to finish the play "Death on Earth" first."

Tang Zhong expressed his understanding.

Zheng Zhou could understand, he was just a little curious: "Axing, now "Parallel Cohabitation" is about to be released, and it's only a few days away from Double Eleven. You just said that you're working overtime in the post-production, so is the first trailer going to be released too??"

Lin Xing nodded gently: "We have discussed it, the first trailer is going to be released at the end of this month, but it's only edited into a 1-minute one, and I don't want to show the core of the movie in advance, so the trailer is actually a bit specious."

Lin Xing has to keep the skits for the Spring Festival Gala secret, but there is no need to keep "Parallel Cohabitation" secret.

The reason is simple, because it's about to be released, everyone is in the same industry, it's okay to discuss it with each other at this time.

More importantly, Lin Xing had no choice about the skits in the Spring Festival Gala, or he had no decision-making power.

But Lin Xing had a lot of decision-making power about "Parallel Cohabitation".

So Lin Xing didn't keep this movie secret when he talked to everyone.

But others were a little confused.

Zheng Zhou reacted immediately: "Axing, you mean this "Parallel Cohabitation" is not about a domineering CEO chasing love?"

Not only Zheng Zhou, but also Tang Zhong looked at Lin Xing: "Axing, is the domineering CEO a gimmick??

In addition to Tang Zhong, Meng Da and Shen Zhong also looked at Lin Xing with some curiosity.

In response, Lin Xing smiled and said: "Yes, this is not a domineering CEO chasing love. To be precise, I actually play a loser in it..."

"Ah? ? ? "

Zheng Zhou suddenly realized: "So all the previous ones were deliberately made for publicity? The so-called domineering CEO is just your fantasy? ? "

Lin Xing shook his head and said: "This is really not a fantasy. This movie is actually a science fiction movie, that is..."

Listening to Lin Xing's words, everyone present was completely confused.

Good guy.

This was originally thought to be a comedy love movie, and it was a story of a domineering president chasing love, but after Lin Xing said that, it directly became a science fiction movie??

This difference is a bit too big.

And the key point is that if this really becomes a science fiction movie, then the box office will be different.

Lin Xing looked at everyone and continued to explain: "In fact, it is not science fiction, it should be considered a fantasy love movie, because it involves things in two time and space..."

"I know, I know." Zheng Zhou looked at Lin Xing and laughed: "I said, how could you, A Xing, play a domineering president? Now I am very curious about what you said. No matter what, A Xing, you must let me see it when the premiere..."

At this time, the others were also interested in what Lin Xing said.

Lin Xing nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, I will invite everyone to attend the premiere together. ”

Sometimes, movies need to be kept secret, and even don’t need to have a grand premiere.

But sometimes it’s different, and you still have to have one anyway.

Lin Xing doesn’t reject this. What he really rejects are those grand premieres that are just for bragging.

Lin Xing has always held premieres simply, and everyone can speak freely, and he will never cover everyone’s mouth.

At any time, everyone can say whatever they want.

Movies are meant to be watched by the audience, and the industry is also watching them to get real opinions.

If a movie is always boasting, and at any time, there is only one voice praising it, then this movie is actually no different from a bad movie.

At 10 o’clock in the evening, Lin Xing left first. In addition to meeting Guo Haishan tomorrow, he will also attend an event tomorrow.

After Lin Xing left, Tang Zhong asked with some expectation: "Lao Zheng, do you think Lin Xing will agree? ? "

"It’s really hard to say. ”

Zheng Zhou shook his head slightly and said: "You have to know that Lin Xing's current status is very high, and he himself has no shortage of scripts. I heard that a lot of drama king scripts have been piled up for Lin Xing. Who can say for sure which one he wants to play? ? ”

"That's true."

Tang Zhong nodded gently: "Now everyone knows that Lin Xing has a very strong appeal. If he participates in a TV series, it often represents the quality of the TV series."

"Yes, but unless it is the protagonist, if it is a supporting role, then Lin Xing's gold content is not that high. ”

Zheng Zhou sighed: "You see "Love is Not Easy" is actually more of Zu Ming's brand. If our TV series Lin Xing plays the male lead, then the rating of major video websites will definitely reach S+, but if Lin Xing just makes a cameo appearance, then the rating cannot reach S. ”

Tang Zhong frowned: "What if it is a male second or something like that? ? ”

"That's impossible."

Zheng Zhou shook his head and said: "What a joke? You let Lin Xing play the second male lead. Do you think Lin Xing might lower his status now? "

"That's true. Which actor would take the initiative to play a supporting role? ? "

Tang Zhong was also amused by his own words: "Even many veteran actors play supporting roles because they have no more roles to play. But for someone like Lin Xing who is at the peak of his career and may not even reach his peak yet, how could he play a supporting role? ? ”

Comparing yourself to others is frustrating.

Meng Da and Shen Zhong, who were present, were not young. You should know that many male actors become veteran actors when they are over 40, but there are different types of veteran actors.

Some male actors soar to the top when they are over 40, and can even play the leading role, and then successfully complete the positioning of the uncle circle.

But some male actors are over 40, and can only play supporting roles every day, and don’t even have a representative work.

There is no way.

This is the cruel market.

Meng Da and Shen Zhong are slightly better. This kind of good means that although they can’t play the leading role, they can at least play the third or fourth male.

In this way, they are not bad.

But who doesn’t want to climb up? ?

Who doesn’t want to play the leading role? ?

But the plate is only so big. Some people belong to the first level. They finish eating and picking, and then only those on the second level have a chance to pick.

As for Meng Da and Shen Zhong, they are fifth- and sixth-level artists. They don't have the capital to choose, so they just eat what they have.

I've already reached 40+. Basically, if I get to 50+, I'm afraid there are only so many opportunities.

But if you look at Lin Xing, he is already a first-tier artist in his 30s, and he is firmly in the first-tier.

It’s okay not to accept it.

Lin Xing naturally doesn't know this. In his current position, he no longer cares about what others think of him.

Sometimes, a person's good attitude actually depends on your status.

Just like many big shots in the entertainment industry, needless to say, let's just say Zheng Zhou. Why can he be so calm and Buddhist when faced with other people saying he is greasy, others saying he is pretending, and even some teasing and ridiculing?

Isn't it because Zheng Zhou has already become famous.

Many times, Lin Xing actually hates how some people create loose characters.

Don't talk nonsense, the reason why many artists in the entertainment industry are slack is because they have money.

Why is it said that red energy nourishes people? ?

The principle is the same.

Back home, Lin Xing first read the script written by Tang Zhong. I have to say that the script written by Tang Zhong is quite good. This good refers to the plot and the development.

You must know that when "Love Is Not Easy" was aired, many people were saying that the three views were wrong, because everyone had seen too many incorrect views, and they wanted to see something truly realistic.

But this script is like that.

And to be honest, it's a bit bloody.

The script actually has three male protagonists. At the same time, the women seem to be driving the development of the plot. There is green tea, there is a pure white rabbit, there is a man who wants to be rich, there is a man who only talks about sex but not love, and there is a man who just wants to get rid of his father. Liu Zi's and so on.

It’s just that this drama is not about pure romance.

There must be some discussion about this kind of drama, but Lin Xing doesn’t want to participate in it because he feels that there are not many places for him to show his talents.

The character he plays is actually a sullen otaku, a loser in another direction.

It’s not that it’s repetitive, it’s just that it’s so well acted.

For this reason, Lin Xing decided to decline.

The next day, Lin Xing first attended an event, and then met with Zheng Zhou and Tang Zhong in person at noon, saying that he thought the show was good, but not suitable for him.

Anyway, I declined.

Zheng Zhou and Tang Zhong didn't say anything. Lin Xing's posture was acceptable enough. Besides, this was a two-way choice.

How can you not make people dislike you?
