This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 585: Rectification of the Film Industry Begins From Now on

This is not Lin Xing's fault.

This is the conflict between film critics and audiences.

To be precise, film critics are currently facing a large-scale boycott from the audience, because people do not think that film critics are trustworthy? ?
Just like last year’s Spring Festival, it was clearly a terrible movie, but it was praised by film critics as a classic good movie.

Not only that, one of the military films was praised to the skies by film critics.

Many viewers originally wanted to say that the movie was not very good, but because of this, they were insulted by countless people, calling the audience American dogs, big germs, traitors, etc.

In this situation, how could the audience not feel disgusted?
But, many film critics still praise this military film to the extreme.

The box office ended up being pretty rubbish.

Not to mention other movies, in short, these movies make the audience unwilling to pay for them.

In fact, it’s not just science fiction that is dead.

Even martial arts films are dead.

But wasn’t that also the case when many film critics praised martial arts films before? ?

That really is just short of praising martial arts films to the sky.

Ok.

In fact, Chinese animation died a long time ago.

Anyway, science fiction, martial arts, and Chinese comics are basically doomed to fail, so many people just want to give it a try no matter what.

Just like this year's "The Myth: Journey to the West" is actually scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, the industry is still looking forward to this adult film.

But whether it will succeed or not depends on the follow-up.

Let’s talk about film critics again. At present, what people really like is to watch for themselves. At the same time, the only one who really doesn’t like bad movies is Lao Zhong.

But up to now, Lao Zhong doesn't seem to have spoken.

So here's where it gets interesting.

Many people thought that Lao Zhong might have watched the movie "Death on Earth", but because Lao Zhong thought Lin Xing was good before, she chose not to say anything.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this.

At the same time, Meng Yan was indeed a little panicked.

Because according to the routine, it will premiere today during the day and then be screened directly in the evening.

Today's preview is a selected golden screening, and there is only one screening.

Because what is needed is word of mouth.

But now the critics’ praise has become negative news for “Dead on Earth.”

Too much money was spent.

Now everyone has only one evaluation of "Death on Earth", that is, Lin Xing is really crazy.

This madness is because Lin Xing said that "Death on Earth" had a huge investment, and then he got a bunch of film critics to praise it.

Familiar?

Isn't this just like some bad movies? It's obviously a rubbish movie, but a bunch of people praise it, and it makes hundreds of millions on the first day of its release, and then it starts to plummet on the second day.

Now it seems that "Death on Earth" has this meaning.

Currently, "Death on Earth" has chosen a popular schedule, is a science fiction film, and has invited a large number of filmmakers to participate in the premiere.

Yes.

Everyone thinks that you, Lin Xing, don't even dare to invite some passers-by to attend the preview. What does this prove? ?

This proves that "Dead on Earth" is afraid of real word of mouth.

So why do you preview it in advance?

This kind of suicide screening has happened before, and now it seems that "Dead on Earth" will definitely have a suicide screening as well.

No one thinks that Lin Xing still has any tricks up his sleeve.

You are already in this state, what else do you have to do?

"That's my fault."

Meng Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I originally thought that inviting film critics would give the audience the most authentic voice, but I didn't expect that the film critics had a completely bad reputation."

Lin Xing shook his head and said, "It's not your fault. Who would have thought that the critics would give such a bad review of the film?"

To be honest, let alone Meng Yan, even Lin Xing was a little surprised.

After all, although the film critics were rubbish before, everyone was still willing to believe them a little. But now these film critics really have no moral integrity at all.

It doesn't really matter.

For Lin Xing, it doesn’t matter whether the critics praise the film or not, because what really matters is the reputation of the film that night.

Tonight’s preview is the real deciding factor, because today’s preview only has the prime time.

Just one golden field.

This is understandable, after all, it is for the convenience of controlling word of mouth.

"Just do what you need to do, and don't pay too much attention to other reactions."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, "I believe the audience can tell the good from the bad, and can also tell whether we are putting our heart into it or not."

At this point, Lin Xing said: "Remember not to pay film critics, and don't spend money on other things. What we need to do is to build real word of mouth. You have to believe in our movie."

But many people are actually panicking right now.

Because it was not until now that everyone realized that what Lin Xing said before was correct, that is, actors’ so-called box office support should not be taken too seriously.

You have to know that many times it’s just the movie that’s good, but the actors mistakenly think it’s their own fault.

Many people are not clear enough about this and always think that it is their own ability, but Lin Xing has never taken this seriously.

Just like this time with "Death on Earth", Lin Xing never thought about how popular the pre-sales would be from the very beginning.

To be honest, he is quite satisfied with this nearly 10 million.

This proves that popularity is not useless. At least everyone is willing to believe Lin Xing when buying tickets.

But it is impossible for Lin Xing to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in pre-sales just by participating in the film.

Sometimes celebrities shouldn't take themselves too seriously.

None of us has our money blown by the wind.

Many times, as long as your film is good, the audience will be willing to support you.

That's it.

So why do celebrities have fan circles? ?

Isn’t it because the fan circle is really willing to spend money? Just look at the pre-sale of "Shan Hai" this time and you will know that the top fans are really willing to spend money.

Who doesn’t like this real money? But now “Death on Earth” is quite embarrassing.

At the same time, fans of Yang Tian, ​​Lin Xing and other leading actors in "Death on Earth" are defending it.

But it’s difficult.

Currently, there are unanimous negative reviews on the Internet, and everyone thinks that there is no possibility for "Death on Earth".

The term "suicide preview" is mentioned most often.

Film critics did this, hundreds of film critics joined the topic to praise "Dead on Earth", isn't that really pouring oil? ?

In short, up to now, the successful point of the premiere of "Death on Earth" is that it has made "Death on Earth" popular.

Yes.

Originally, many people thought that the pre-sale of "Dead on Earth" was dead, and then at the premiere, they said that it would be screened in advance, which was like adding insult to injury.

Then the film critics did this, and the already bad reputation of the film has been made even worse.

It's really just a series of deaths, deaths, and deaths.

Everyone felt that Lin Xing might really suffer a Waterloo this time.

In the evening, before the preview, Lin Xing and the leading actors were interviewed by the Sixth Princess.

He also needs to formally respond to some negative public opinion because the business war has already begun.

Yes.

Real business war.

The competition among the current movies during the National Day holiday is actually very fierce. It is very normal for everyone to work together in public but to stab each other behind the scenes.

What's more important is that capital does not want Lin Xing to continue to act so recklessly. You know, capital would rather control the trash.

For this reason, the release of "Death on Earth" during the National Day holiday can actually be regarded as a battle of encirclement and suppression.

Otherwise, why did the reputation suddenly become so bad?
Moreover, the fan circle is even more anti-corruption, and there are too many negative news about "Dead on Earth".

If this isn’t a business war, then what is it?
Not only that, other actors also came out to add fuel to the fire, and many of them said they were not optimistic about science fiction movies.

Of course, there is no shortage of backstabbing and green tea in the entertainment industry. While everyone is being sarcastic, they are still helping Lin Xing to make up for it.

That's how courageous Lin Xing is.

Among them, when "Shanhai" was interviewed, he talked about "Death on Earth" in a joking manner.

Even Master Guo said in an interview: "In fact, we are still lacking in science fiction in China, because we don't have the technology of Hollywood. If we want to make our own science fiction films, we still have at least ten years to go. This is not only true for science fiction, but also for animation. Our domestic animation must face up to the gap..."

In short, Master Guo's words seem to be saying that foreign special effects are awesome, but in fact he is saying that "Death on Earth" is not worth it.

This is business war.

In addition, when interviewed, some directors in the industry all believed that the filming of "Death on Earth" was a success, and Lin Xing's ability to shoot 5 films in one go really allowed everyone to see what science fiction movies are like.

In short, everyone seemed to be surrounding Lin Xing.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

Everyone has been waiting for several years. In recent years, Lin Xing's TV series have been making great strides. Not only that, Lin Xing's movies have never failed.

No matter what others say, Lin Xing is undefeated.

It seems that this guy is really cheating just as everyone says.

Now it seems that this is who God wants to destroy, so let him swell first.

Lin Xing actually overestimated his own capabilities and tried to make a science fiction movie, and the science fiction movie pit directly dragged Lin Xing into it.

The investment for these 5 movies is more than 10 billion, and adding on the post-production special effects, it would make Lin Xing bankrupt.

Everyone knows that there are basically no investment companies investing in "Death on Earth".

Therefore, there is basically no need for anyone to feel any psychological burden when they start a siege.

Anyway, I'm just giving you a ride, Lin Xing.

Of course, Lin Xing was not surprised by the business war, but Lin Xing himself did not expect that Master Guo would say this in the interview.

This Master Guo really doesn't care about moral integrity at all for the sake of his own movie.

Of course, it is understandable. After all, Lin Xing had previously fired shots at the entire film industry.

Perhaps from other people's perspective, you, Lin Xing, bombarded us with all kinds of attacks in the past, so it is normal for us to encircle and suppress you now.

If you mess around, you have to pay for it. Didn’t you, Lin Xing, say that?
This time, the interview of "Death on Earth" on the Six Princesses Movie Channel was broadcast live. Lin Xing participated with Chen Ning, Wang Ruoan, Zhu Biaohai, Liu Baofeng, Guan Peng, Ren Yi and Yang Tian.

Because Zhu Biaohai had always been in poor health, Lin Xing had someone take Zhu Biaohai to the hotel to rest not long after Zhu Biaohai attended the premiere.

Not only that, Lin Xing did not plan to let Zhu Biaohai participate in this live broadcast.

However, Zhu Biaohai believed that since he had participated in the movie, he should promote it.

What’s more important is that Zhu Biaohai really thinks this movie is amazing and he really likes it.

During the live broadcast, Zhu Biaohai was naturally asked why he took on such a science fiction movie. Zhu Biaohai said: "If I don't take such a good movie, I will regret it. I think this will become another masterpiece of mine, and I think this movie will become a masterpiece of science fiction."

Not only Zhu Biaohai said this, but Wang Ruoan also said so.

"I have always wanted to work with Lin Xing, but I could never find the right opportunity. This time, when I heard that we could shoot a science fiction film, especially a groundbreaking science fiction film, I agreed immediately. After reading the script, I decided that I would participate even if there was no pay."

Wang Ruoan and Zhu Biaohai have similar ideas.

Then Liu Baofeng, Guan Peng, Ren Yi, and even Chen Ning and Yang Tian all talked about the same thing.

They believed in Lin Xing and the script, and after filming they felt that the movie would not disappoint.

"So, Lin Xing, are you under a lot of pressure now?"

The host turned the topic to Lin Xing: "We all know that the pre-sale situation of movies is not ideal, and many people think that the early screening during the National Day holiday means that the film is out of the market early. At present, the pre-sale schedule of "Death on Earth" has been reduced to the lowest. Because of the unsatisfactory pre-sale, many theaters have even reduced the screening schedule..."

Obviously, this is not just a problem with the host. On the contrary, everyone in the entire live broadcast room also feels a little confused.

What everyone doesn't understand is why Lin Xing has to be so unconventional? ?

And is the suicide preview necessary?

"First of all, I don't think I'm under too much pressure. I said before that the worst-case scenario for this sci-fi movie is that it fails. In that case, I can still make TV series and movies to pay off my debts. I think I'm still pretty good as an actor."

Lin Xing first said: "It is impossible for a movie to be successful all the time, but what I can do is to shoot it seriously. At the same time, I believe that everyone will not be disappointed after watching it, because I have said before that the audience can see whether the movie is bad or not..."

"I can understand that people don't have confidence in science fiction movies. In fact, you can go and read the original novel, Death on Earth. This time, our adaptation was based on respect for the original novel."

"And in order to respect the original work, or to maintain continuity, we shot five films in one go."

……

As for whether the pressure was great or other things, Lin Xing just wanted to say that the movie was worth it.

At the same time, Lin Xing responded to the suicide preview mentioned online.
