This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 586 It’s not Lin Xing who should be afraid

"After watching the preview tonight, you should understand. What I want to tell you is that in the past few years, I have never thought of deceiving the audience, and I will never deceive the audience."

"As for the suicide preview, I find it a little funny."

"Why is it a suicide preview?"

"I hope the entire film industry can develop in a healthy way. I also hope that people can express their true opinions after watching a movie. This is why I want to screen it in advance."

"I don't want to ask everyone to support science fiction movies, because as long as the science fiction movies are good, everyone will definitely support them."

"So, I hope everyone will give their honest comments after watching it. Then everyone will know whether I am engaging in any fraudulent marketing or so-called paid film reviews."

……

Faced with Lin Xing’s response, it has to be said that many people did not really believe it.

"Lin Xing, what are you talking about? If you really believe it, why did you invite film critics?"

"That's right, Lin Xing, you've invited film critics, so why are you talking about the so-called real voice?"

“I want to ask if this film critic said anything true??”

"I also think Lin Xing, you are talking nonsense. Why don't you invite ordinary audiences?"

……

The barrage of comments was scrolling like crazy, and Lin Xing actually noticed it.

As for the host, of course he also asked Lin Xing: "So, Lin Xing, do you have anything to say about everyone's doubts?"

“I think everyone is right to be skeptical.”

Lin Xing said: “The current film critic circle has indeed been ruined by some bad apples, and the entire film industry is no longer developing in a healthy way.

Of course, we cannot say that there are only a few bad apples. It should be said that among the 99 percent of bad apples, only the 1 percent of film critics are still upholding their professional ethics.

I am not against film critics making money, because doing it for love is not sustainable, but the current situation is that film critics are destroying their own credibility while making money. "

This can actually be seen from the conflict between film critics and audiences.

The collapse of trust between film critics and audiences has not happened overnight. Just like the year before last, when a film critic named "A Cai" posted on Weibo a souvenir from the premiere of a military film - a gold commemorative coin worth 5888 yuan, everyone was stunned.

Although it was deleted within seconds, the screenshots were circulated wildly in major movie fan groups. “We paid to watch the movie.

The anger of "they were paid to blow up the movie" completely exploded in the hearts of the audience.

The Iron-Blooded Eagle, released during the Spring Festival last year, is a typical example. The producers spent 4.2 million yuan to invite "top 9 film critics" to jointly promote the film, which was full of cheap special effects and logical loopholes, and packaged it as a "new benchmark for Chinese military films." When ordinary audiences gave it a score of on Douban, film critics collectively gave it a "professional score" of more than points.

Lao Zhang, the moderator of the Data Network forum, was subjected to a human-hunt by the navy and even received a package of ghost money simply because he criticized the absurd scene of the tank drifting in the film.

As for martial arts films, it goes without saying that during the release of "Sword Lake" in 2026, the concept of "new martial arts" invented by film critics swept the entire Internet. It was not until a special effects artist exposed the inside story of the crew using AI face-changing to replace martial arts doubles that the audience discovered that the touted "smooth fighting scenes" were nothing more than the product of post-production synthesis.

The anger of being deceived turned into 17 negative reviews on Douban, but the investors had already cashed out and left.

You say, why do audiences still believe the so-called film critics' exaggerations? ?
This is what Lin Xing said just now, you can take the money, I have no objection to you taking the money, but you can't take the money and then say things like you will never take money.

This is just bullshit.

At the same time, Lin Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with Meng Yan inviting film critics, because he thought it was necessary to tell everyone that I would never do that kind of thing.

For this reason, Lin Xing also said in the live broadcast room: "We invited film critics this time to let them make their real voices heard, and we will not spend money on any so-called marketing. You can go and watch the golden show tonight."

At this point, Lin Xing paused and said, "I believe everyone will make their own judgment after reading this."

Lin Xing is very confident about the movie "Death on Earth".

Now faced with the not-so-ideal pre-sale situation, Lin Xing certainly needs to rely on word of mouth to break through.

This kind of confidence is not some mysterious confidence. It comes from the quality of the movie "Death on Earth".

If he was really so confident, Lin Xing wouldn't have asked for an advance screening.

Everyone thought that "Death on Earth" was a suicidal preview, but for Lin Xing it was a clarion call to attack.

In the live broadcast room, Lin Xing responded to everyone's questions one by one, and he did not forget to interact with other people.

"We didn't intend to play the victim in the film, because it's a job, and more importantly, we like making movies, especially such an innovative movie..."

In the live broadcast room, Lin Xing had already told everyone not to play the victim.

In fact, Meng Yan had thought about whether to talk about Zhu Biaohai's professionalism. After all, Zhu Biaohai is so old and in poor health. If he were to promote this, he could crush some popular artists.

But Lin Xing refused.

What audiences hate most nowadays is actors and crew playing the victim.

Therefore, Lin Xing’s main purpose in this live broadcast was publicity and response.

The problems in the film industry are actually difficult to solve in a short period of time. In addition, the problems of film critics are equally difficult to solve.

It is understandable that people want to make money, but it is not so easy to do so without any moral principles, even praising the movie for money and criticizing it if you are not paid.

What this situation destroys is the audience's trust.

In fact, it is unrealistic to let film critics take the blame, because it is the industry that is truly ruined.

You see a movie is released and a bunch of artists go to the premiere, and then they just brag about it.

Who is willing to believe it at this time?
Word of mouth and popularity among passers-by are things more precious than gold, and this time some people are willing to believe Lin Xing.

Because Lin Xing has never made a bad movie.

Of course, there are also some people who think that the movie "Death on Earth" is bound to fail.

But how to say it? ?
Lin Xing’s publicity was effective.

That evening, passers-by gradually entered the preview screenings of major cinemas, and some cinema managers were surprised to find that a number of people arrived just before the show started.

Others were wearing 'anti-fraud guard' costumes.

These people call themselves the film critics group, and their main job is to review the bad movies.

Some film review groups have no bottom line, but some are more upright.

Some of them actually still have a good impression of Lin Xing, and they are willing to trust Lin Xing again.

The leader of the "Anti-Fraud Guard" film viewing group is called Zhou Xing, and he has also spoken a lot for Lin Xing in recent years.

From the very beginning, Stephen Chow was not very optimistic about this science fiction movie, because science fiction movies nowadays are really dead.

There are many artists in the entertainment industry today who basically become arrogant when they are successful. Lin Xing was still sober before, but Zhou Xing felt that Lin Xing was not sober since he started filming this science fiction movie.

To be honest, it’s okay to be confident, but being overconfident becomes arrogance.

Besides, Stephen Chow is not stupid. He was heartbroken by the movie "The Fall of Demon City" before, and he doesn't believe in science fiction movies at all.

Wasn’t the popularity of “The Fall of Demon City” greater than that of “Death on Earth”? ?

You should know that the first-day screening of "The Fall of Demon City" was as high as 35%, and what was the result? ?
It was a continuous release. Stephen Chow watched this movie for the sake of science fiction, but after watching a third of it he wanted to curse.

Because that's fucking bullshit.

This movie has already closed the door to science fiction, so don't talk about anything else at this time.

There won't be any more good science fiction movies.

But Zhou Xing felt that he should still trust Lin Xing, so he brought his group to the movie.

Zhou Xing has booked this hall.

For this reason, the hall is now full of people from Zhou Xing's movie-watching group, which will be more conducive to the discussion after the movie is over.

At 8 o'clock, the movie officially begins.

It has to be said that when Stephen Chow watched the scene in the movie "Those over 50 years old, step out", he did feel his eyes moist.

There is no return, but it still leaves hope of life to young people.

What is more important is that everyone is united in purpose. Isn’t the plan to move mountains just like Yugong moving mountains?
Of course, what shocked Stephen Chow even more was the special effects of this movie, which were extremely amazing.

And the length of the film is even more touching.

150 minutes.

This is a long movie with two parts.

But it really left me wanting more.

Especially the Easter egg part left a lot of suspense, and it was even a little unclear who was the villain and who was the hero.

But this movie contained too much information, and Stephen Chow felt that he needed to watch it a second time, as he felt that some of the details were not well grasped.

"Well, this movie is great."

"Have you noticed? Lin Xing doesn't even have the most scenes in this movie?"

"Yes, and this movie should be considered an ensemble drama, but it's really wonderful."

……

"I can really trust Lin Xing forever. I didn't expect the special effects of this movie to be so explosive."

“There are two scenes that are really exciting to watch, the special effects in the space elevator scene are amazing.

......"

When the movie was over, Stephen Chow discussed the content of the movie with everyone.

As a veteran, Stephen Chow really shed tears when watching this movie. He believes that this movie is a true oriental story.

"After watching the preview, I want to say that this movie really gave me too many surprises as Lin Xing said. This is a movie that reconstructs the disaster genre with a grand cosmic narrative. I think it perfectly adapted the original work.

I haven't seen such a hard science fiction movie in a long time.

Scenes like "Space Elevator Crisis" and "Moon Fall" really seem to be burning money.

This movie is a true oriental science fiction movie, because since ancient times, we have learned that it is better to rely on ourselves than on others. This movie is about there being no savior, only the mortals who continue to pave the way for survival with their flesh and blood. "

……

Stephen Chow spoke highly of the movie and also posted videos of himself watching the movie online.

Of course, this kind of video was not secretly filmed, and the shooting angle was only aimed at the audience seats.

This is generally the case with movie-watching groups. Everyone just looks at the audience seats, and then many viewers express their most genuine thoughts.

Not only Stephen Chow, other film critics also made some comments.

At this time, many of Lin Xing’s interviews were also dug out.

For example, this film actually cooperated deeply with Chinese Academy of Sciences, because they wanted to build a future technology lineage that can withstand scrutiny.

Although the movie is a group portrait, Lin Xing and Wang Ruoan seem to be two independent lines, and they have never even met each other.

But everyone was having a blast watching it.

Because there has never been a science fiction movie like this. Compared with Hollywood's personal heroism, everyone feels that this "saturation rescue" narrative is our own story in the East.

At the same time, word of mouth really spread in one night, and of course, everyone was also very good at playing with the memes.

"Master Guo said that science fiction movies cannot produce Hollywood-style special effects and images. I want to say that he can go watch Death on Earth, which has all the special effects and images."

"The movie is so realistic. Although the space elevator exploded, the housing prices in Shanghai did not - the last stubbornness of human civilization is the gene of real estate speculation."

"The moon is about to hit the earth, but the capital's household registration is still being drawn up by lottery"

"Planetary engines burn stones, workers burn their livers, and the end of the universe is fuel."

……

“It is recommended that the Chinese Academy of Sciences apply for the planetary engine to be a major national science and technology project. Funding is much easier to obtain than controlled nuclear fusion.”

"When the planetary engine was ignited, the workers' DNA was stirred: Isn't this the boss's pie come true?!"

"Moon crisis emergency plan = company layoffs rhetoric: We are not giving up on you, the universe needs structural optimization"

……

The first day's preview of "Dead on Earth" was very successful, and even various linkages came in one night.

Among them, #死在地球详细信息# dominated the hot search list with 2.7 searches per second. The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ official microblog posted a screenshot of the movie: “Please ask Mr. Lin, can the tensile strength parameters of the space elevator cable be used in the construction of my country’s space station?”

This kind of interaction makes everyone play memes all the time.

Heavy industry film.

A mechanical engineer raised his laser rangefinder and shouted: "The error in the spacing of the rivets in the space capsule does not exceed 0.03 mm, which fully meets the manufacturing standards of spacecraft. The nuclear physics doctoral student in the back row found an easter egg: the fuel ratio of the planetary engine is consistent with the latest paper data of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor)."

Good guy.

This is becoming more and more professional.

Many people who haven’t watched “Dead on Earth” yet are a little surprised.

How come this sci-fi movie not only interacts with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but also looks so real? ?
Lin Xing said in an interview: "Movies are about dreaming. We just want to imagine the high-tech things that will happen in the distant years of 2044 and 2060 in the movies based on reality, and see if we can make them happen."

At this time, more people wanted to enter the theater because of the effect of the preview on the first day.

In the following days of previews, it was found that Death on Earth not only did not commit suicide, but on the contrary, lived a second life.
