Chapter 315: Having Money, Being a Bad Guy, and Having Connections Everywhere (Asking for Monthly Votes)

"The tentative date is around mid-September, but the specifics have not been discussed yet."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Everything depends on the response from Toronto and Venice."

Liu Zhen was a little confused: "Why not set it on National Day??"

"It's not that I don't want to celebrate National Day, it's that I don't deserve it."

Lin Xing joked: "This is a literary film. If it is on a less popular schedule, it may have a chance. If it is on a popular schedule, it will definitely be cannon fodder."

"That's the truth. Look at how many cannon fodder there were during last year's Spring Festival??"

Fan Xingyan nodded lightly: "If there is a mistake in setting the schedule, the impact will be too great. "Let's Play with the Moon" became cannon fodder during the Spring Festival because of the mistake in setting the schedule. Later, it was changed to the Qingming Festival and it did not rebound strongly."

In the film industry, none of the films that have been released have been canceled and re-fixed, and none of them have been successful.

In the Spring Festival period alone, three movies have done this, but none of them reached a box office of 200 million.

But how to say it? ?

The Spring Festival show is really too tempting. You have to know that everyone never watches Cannon Fodder, and no one even thinks that they will become Cannon Fodder.

Everyone feels that they can become the biggest winner and can start making billions from a movie.

Think about it, the box office may be hundreds of millions during the unpopular period, but it may be able to take off immediately during the Spring Festival period.

The temptation is too great.

But so far, there are only one or two real winners in the Spring Festival every year, and most of them are cannon fodder.

On the contrary, there are some movies that can achieve good results in small releases.

Speaking of movie box office, it is also a metaphysics. Whether a movie can be a hit depends on many factors.

In many cases, good quality of a movie does not mean it will definitely become a hit. On the contrary, a movie of average quality may become a hit if it is well marketed.

But many people think that small-budget movies should not go on busy schedules.

Especially for a literary film like "Killing Arden", if you go to a busy schedule, you are looking for death.

"But what I really want to ask Ah Xing is, is this movie really invested by Xin Hui??"

Miao Liting herself prefers to eat melons. She has been surfing more vigorously in the past few years. Anyway, she likes to read gossip when she is bored.

Miao Liting and Fan Xingyan are good friends. Do you know what Miao Liting's character is like?

Dare to do it, dare to say it, Miao Liting even tore up Green Tea Tian Li with her own hands to protect her assistant, and also tore up the matter of how many boats Tian Li was on.

how to say?

In those days, it was not shameful for actresses to be mistresses. Some actresses even said in interviews: "I have been everything and played everything."

There are also golfers.

However, Miao Liting is more restrained. She just loves to fall in love more and likes to eat melon and play.

This "play" is fun in the literal sense, not like other actresses playing golf.

It is precisely because of this that Miao Liting is more interested in the gossip about "Killing Aden".

As for movies, she wasn't that interested.

She saw the trailer of "Killing Arden" and thought it was just average. Miao Liting also felt that there was no box office market for literary and artistic films like this.

You must know that Miao Liting also made a literary youth film back then. She knew that the box office would not be high.

But this does not mean that Miao Liting underestimates Lin Xing. On the contrary, she was not polite just now. She really thinks that Lin Xing's acting skills are very good.

At least among the younger generation, or among the post-90s generation of artists, Lin Xing's acting skills are really far ahead.

Just so, Miao Liting didn't have any objections to Lin Xinglai being her mentor.

The more important thing is the Magnolia Emperor.

From here we can see the benefits of Shidi, or the gold content of Magnolia.

Lin Xing got the Vision Emperor, and he almost won it among a group of powerful opponents. More importantly, he was not the so-called Water Emperor.

Don't forget that even after half a year, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is still popular.

What's more, after Magnolia's "Death Knell" became the biggest winner the day before yesterday, the popularity has increased again.

It's really as strong as midwinter.

But as mentioned just now, Miao Liting’s favorite thing is to eat melons.

"I invested part of this movie, and Xin Hui invested part..."

Lin Xing explained with a smile: "Because the shooting is relatively economical, Xin Hui's investment has not been used up yet, and he knew before that we were going to announce the release date and gave him another 10 million, saying that he would just spend money to buy fun. Already..."

Miao Liting: "???"

When Xin Hui said it was just a matter of spending more than 20 million, it was an exaggeration. Now Lin Xing said it was even more exaggerated.

Spending money on fun? ?

Who the hell spends more than 10 million on fun?

What family? ?

ah? ?

The richest man? ?

That's okay.

Still saying that, others might say it as a show of pretentiousness, but when Xin Hui said it, it was really reasonable.

Don’t forget how much money Xin Hui got cheated when he first entered the film industry?

For Xin Hui, he really doesn't want to touch the film industry anymore.

If it weren't for Lin Xing, Xin Hui would never have planned to invest in movies again.

But even so, Xin Hui had no intention of recovering the cost. After all, it was only 20 to 30 million, not several hundred million?

It's worth listening to it, spending money on music, and making Lin Xing happy.

All the people present were not aware of these, even Miao Liting did not know what Xin Hui was thinking.

She just felt that Lin Xing was lucky to have such a good brother.

While sighing, the door of the box was pushed open again, and Liu Wu came in first, followed by director Rong Jinyuan.

"Everyone should be familiar with each other, Director Rong, let me introduce you, this is Lin Xing, who just won the Magnolia Best Actor Award..."

Liu Wu introduced to Rong Jinyuan.

"Director Rong, hello."

As a junior, Lin Xing naturally took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, your movie "Bad Kids" is very good."

Rong Jinyuan said to Lin Xing with a smile.

In addition to Lin Xing, people like Wang Fei, Liu Zhen, Fan Xingyan, and Miao Liting also got to know Rong Jinyuan one by one.

The entertainment industry is not big, but not small either. Among these people, only Miao Liting and Rong Jinyuan knew each other before. The others really only knew Rong Jinyuan, but had never worked with him.

Everyone introduced themselves to each other, and after they sat down, Rong Jinyuan frowned and said, "Aren't A-Zu and A-Wei here yet?"

"They'll be here soon."

Liu Wu smiled and said, "I've already gone to pick them up. They're a little late at the hotel."

As they were talking, three more people came in.

"Sorry, sorry, we're late..."

Zhou Zu apologized.

Wu Wei also said, "Sorry."

Ye Ling also apologized.

These three were very popular in China forty years ago. Their hit drama "The Romantic Detective" is almost the childhood memory of many people.

In the drama, Zhou Zu and Wu Wei played brothers who were both teachers and friends, but they turned against each other because they fell in love with the heroine played by Ye Ling.

Afterwards, Zhou Zu and Wu Wei collaborated on TV dramas many times, and they were almost the strongest duo at the time.

At that time, there was a CP, and the newspapers even thought that Zhou Zu and Wu Wei should be a pair.

But later, Zhou Zu began to move to the film industry, and after experiencing a low point, he began to win awards, which was considered to have a greater impact.

Wu Wei is more Buddhist. He is not picky about TV series and movies. Especially as he gets older, he starts to play supporting roles.

But the relationship between the two is always the same. They are the youth of several generations.

It has to be said that Liu Wu has put a lot of effort this time. He invited the crew of "The Romantic Detective" mainly to sell feelings.

More importantly, except for Zhou Zu who has not made a film in the past five years, Ye Ling and Wu Wei are both active in the entertainment industry.

Especially although Ye Ling is over 60 years old, she surfs the Internet like a young person.

Liu Wu doesn't need to introduce these three, but Liu Wu introduced Lin Xing and others.

At present, Rong Jinyuan, Wang Fei, Fan Xingyan, Liu Zhen, and Miao Liting are the main creators of the program.

They have to participate in the recording all the time.

As for Lin Xing, Wu Wei, Zhou Zu, and Ye Ling, they are guest mentors.

According to the saying, Lin Xing is a flying mentor, and Wu Wei, Zhou Zu, and Ye Ling are assistant mentors.

Lin Xing will record one or two episodes, depending on the situation.

As for Wu Wei, Zhou Zu, and Ye Ling, they will also have to record several episodes, depending on the situation.

Anyway, the first two episodes must be recorded.

The main purpose of today's meal is to get to know each other. When we really record tomorrow, we still have to pretend to know each other for the first time.

But it is impossible to meet tomorrow. What if there are some conflicts at that time? ?

"Tomorrow's recording is mainly to meet. I will send you a copy of the specific recording process. If you have any opinions, you can communicate at any time..."

Liu Wu said while pulling a tutor group.

Create a group face to face.

This is not embarrassing.

After dinner, Zhou Zu, Wu Wei, Ye Ling, Rong Jinyuan, Liu Zhen, Miao Liting, and Fan Xingyan all left.

Wang Fei and Lin Xing found a bar to continue chatting for a while.

"There were so many people just now, so some things are not convenient to say."

Wang Fei said to Lin Xing: "Axing, you just won the Magnolia Best Actor Award, and many people are trying to snipe you..."

However, Wang Fei knew that Lin Xing must have known this, and what he really wanted to say was the next recording.

"This time, in order to balance, Liu Wu invited different mentors. For example, Rong Jinyuan belongs to the southern circle, Zhou Zu, Wu Wei, and Ye Ling are all from Rong Jinyuan's department, while Fan Xingyan, Miao Liting, Liu Zhen and I belong to the northern circle..."

"But we are also different, because the companies behind us are not the same."

"This time there are a total of 20 artists, including Rong Jinyuan's company, Miao Liting's company, Panda Entertainment, and other companies."

...

Wang Fei still knows more.

He didn't plan to participate in any variety show, but this time he had no choice.

On the one hand, he has a good relationship with Liu Wu, and on the other hand, Liu Wu successfully captured his daughter.

Star second generation

Wang Fei's daughter Wu Shiyan has been in the industry for three years, but she basically plays small supporting roles and is mostly invisible.

It's not that Wang Fei doesn't want to help his daughter, but he thinks that if she hasn't mastered the basic skills, how can she be an actor?

So he has always been against his daughter becoming an actor.

But Wu Shiyan just wants to be in the industry, and she hates Wang Fei. Until now, not many people know that Wu Shiyan is Wang Fei's daughter.

You must know that Wu Shiyan is the daughter of Wang Fei and his first wife after all.

He has been married five times, and Wang Fei usually keeps a relatively low profile. In addition, as he is an old drama star now, there will be no paparazzi to take pictures of his marriage and private life.

But when Liu Wu was preparing for "Reshaping the Actor", he invited Wu Shiyan, and what Liu Wu and Wang Fei said was quite honest.

"Since you have always felt that Yanyan is not suitable to be an actress, and Yanyan usually doesn't listen to you, isn't it just right this time? You can teach her well in a variety show, even if she is eliminated, it will be good. It can make her realize the reality..."

Liu Wu's words made Wang Fei make up his mind.

"Brother Fei, what do you mean?"

Lin Xing asked Wang Fei in confusion: "Do you want me to persuade your daughter then?"

"I'm not trying to persuade you. You are young people after all. She will still listen to what you say. What I mean is that you try to eliminate her as much as possible..."

Wang Fei smiled bitterly at Lin Xing and said: "The other people are all old fools. I can't trust them. I'm afraid they will be eager for Yanyan to enter the next round..."

"Okay, then I understand."

Lin Xing nodded slightly.

"Well, and you only record one or two episodes, it's just right. You'd better record less of this kind of program, Ah Xing. Don't listen to Liu Wu's words about not promoting things. It's impossible..."

Wang Fei finally persuaded Lin Xing: "You just won Shidi, you must cherish your feathers."

Lin Xing said: "Brother Fei, I understand."

Because they had to continue recording tomorrow, the two of them didn't stay too long. After returning to the hotel, Lin Xing looked at Wu Shiyan's resume.

Before this, Lin Xing really didn't know Wu Shiyan. Let alone Wu Shiyan, Lin Xing didn't even know two-thirds of these artists.

The remaining few are considered acquaintances.

Wu Shiyan's resume is not that rich, and she debuted in literary films, and later played small roles.

If you just look at it this way, you think Wu Shiyan may not have had any favor with Wang Fei.

But look at what these small characters are made of?

It's either a big director or a big drama, but some of Wu Shiyan's small roles still have a sense of presence.

If it wasn't for Wang Fei, why would she? ?

Wu Shiyan is not a fairy-like beauty like An An, and she is even worse than Wang Lu.

If there is an advantage, it is that Wu Shiyan is not that famous, and her face does not move.

Let's see what happens tomorrow.

Although Lin Xing is ready to become this evil person, he cannot eliminate others without any reason.

What if Wu Shiyan really has acting skills? ?
