This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

...I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival. This year is finally coming to an end. I hope everything goes well for you in 2025...

Liu Jie was once an excellent action actor, and he even played many classic villains.

Later, Liu Jie suffered a serious injury and gradually moved behind the scenes. He would occasionally play some guest roles, but basically no action roles.

"I'll give you the contact information later, please contact him."

Li Jing said: "He still admires you very much, and even thinks that you have brought "Death on Earth" to a new climax."

At this point, Li Jing suddenly said, "I will also invite him to attend the premiere. If you are not in a hurry, you can chat with him on the spot then."

"No rush. The second part of Death on Earth hasn't been post-produced yet. Let's wait until the premiere of the movie The Imperial Guards."

Lin Xing said with a smile.

After the serious business was over, it was natural for us to start chatting about trivial things. Of course, the topic we talked about was still the movie "Charlotte's Troubles".

"It's not a big problem."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "I've been focusing on post-production recently. Originally, I wanted to take a break after "Death on Earth" was finished, but now there's no way to rest."

"Those who are capable should do more work, but Xing, you really should take a break. You can't just work all the time."

Situ Hui said to Lin Xing: "Young people should play more."

Feng Qing on the side was a little dissatisfied: "Mom, you didn't tell me that. You said young people should work harder."

"Can it be the same?"

Situ Hui said unhappily: "If you can reach half of Lin Xing's ability, you can do whatever you want."

"You are too much of a bully. Who in the entire entertainment industry can be half as good as Brother Xing..."

Feng Qing shook his head and said, "This Xing Ge's movie is going to reach 10 billion."

indeed.

At present, Lin Xing’s "Death on Earth" has directly reached more than 30 billion, which is equivalent to several other films.

Lin Xing’s next movie will definitely break 10 billion.

The most important thing is that Lin Xing's 10 billion box office revenue is of high quality. The 10 billion revenues of others may be a combination of some kind, but Lin Xing's 10 billion revenues were all earned by himself.

Except for Sunspots.

After all, no matter from which aspect, "Sunspots" has an award-winning actor, and director Ning Ping has his own appeal.

But apart from this one, if you look at other movies, you will find that it is Lin Xing who alone carries the box office.

Someone once said that Lin Xing was lucky, and that "Going to Heaven" was not due to Lin Xing, but to Na Qining's script and directing ability.

But look at what a flop the movie "The Undertaker" has become now.

correct.

After being criticized by Lin Xing, Qi Ning became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, because no matter from which perspective, what Lin Xing said was correct.

But Qi Ning really didn't dare to confront Ouyang Qing, so he thought about finding Ouyang Qing to at least give himself a chance.

As a result, Ouyang Qing completely ignored him and blocked him.

So Qi Ning started a live broadcast today.

While Lin Xing was eating, Qi Ning had already started cursing in the live broadcast room.

Of course, Qining didn't say any swear words because he was worried that it would be blocked.

He felt abandoned.

"I wrote the script for Going to Heaven, and I worked very hard during the filming. I put almost all my efforts into the film. As a result, the film grossed over 30 billion yuan at the box office, but I didn't get a cent. Lin Xing only gave me a red envelope of 800 million yuan in the end."

"Later, I wanted to film The Undertaker. For this film, Ouyang Qing asked me to use his son, so I did. When I was filming, everything was closely related to Ouyang Lei. I even added a lot of scenes for Ouyang Lei."

"The results of it?"

“Now that The Undertaker has flopped, they want me to take the blame??”

"I'm just a screenwriter and director. Do you blame me if you actors don't perform well? You, Ouyang Lei, are not destined to play the leading role."

……

Qi Ning must have drunk a little alcohol during this live broadcast, so he was basically crazy.

For Qi Ning, he has actually always regretted the movie "Going to Heaven".

What he regretted was not anything else, he just regretted why he didn't invest in the first place?

To be honest, let alone other people at that time, even Qi Ning had never thought that the box office of this movie would be so high.

30 billion, who would have dared to think of that before? ?

It was precisely because of this that Qi Ning really thought that as long as the movie was made, it would be fine. He just needed to prove himself and then make money from the second movie.

But who could have thought that the first movie would be such a hit, and then the second movie would flop like this.

How could Qi Ning not go crazy?
But his madness is actually of little use. The use here refers to his desire to restore his reputation.

"No, man, how did you say it's only 800 million?"

"What you said in the interview is still there. Do you want to look up what you said at the time?"

"You were banned in the beginning, and no one wanted to use the script you wrote. It was Lin Xing who was willing to use you. And didn't you get paid for selling the script to Lin Xing? Didn't you get paid by the director? Lin Xing gave you a red envelope of 800 million, and you actually said you didn't have much money?"

……

"Oh my god, Lin Xing actually gave you a red envelope of 800 million. Damn, you are such an ungrateful person."

"Think about it, if I were Lin Xing, I would be so nice to you, but you actually stabbed me in the back like this, I would block you too."

"No, it's obvious that you don't want to work with Lin Xing in your second movie, and you even worked with Ouyang Qing. Damn it, you deserve it."

……

Obviously, Qi Ning's madness during the live broadcast this time can only make Lin Xing's character continue to rise.

You know, sometimes your peers are too good to be true. Just think about what other directors and other investors are like? ?

That's really stingy to the core.

But Lin Xing always gives out red envelopes whenever he makes money. Previously, the online movie "The King's Guards" gave out huge red envelopes.

Originally, everyone really thought that Lin Xing didn't need to give Qi Ning a red envelope, because according to normal people's thinking, Lin Xing was the one who pulled Qi Ning out of the mud.

It is precisely because of this that many people feel that Lin Xing is too kind after listening to Qi Ning's words.

We could have done it in cooperation and not paid Qi Ning anything, but after giving him money, he actually thought it was too little? ?
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.

Faced with Qi Ning's behavior, Ren Yi couldn't stand it anymore. He directly expressed on Weibo that what he regretted most was introducing Qi Ning to Lin Xing.

"Brother Xing, Qi Ning is scolding you."

Feng Qing suddenly saw the live broadcast room opened by Qi Ning and quickly spoke.

"What does Qi Ning want to do?" Situ Hui said angrily, "Axing helped him so much before, but he didn't know how to be grateful. He said a lot of bad things about Axing during the National Day holiday. Now that his new movie has failed, why is he scolding Axing?"

"He's going crazy. He not only cursed Ah Xing, but also Ouyang Qing..."

Feng Qing said quickly.

Lin Xing smiled and said, "He came to my studio to find me, kowtowed to me and admitted his mistake, and asked me to give him a chance, but I asked the security guards to kick him out."

"Good job."

Li Jing immediately clapped his hands and cheered: "This Qi Ning has a bad character. People like him are not suitable to be in this circle. He doesn't know how to be grateful at all."

Lin Xing said: "Actually, it's the Joker, but he wasn't like this at the beginning. I can only say that a lot of times the fame and fortune in this circle really change people a lot."

Seeing Lin Xing say this in an air of being an old-fashioned person, Feng Wei also found it a little funny: "Actually, Xing, sometimes I think you are really terribly mature. It has been like this since the beginning. You are setting records again and again, but you have remained calm from beginning to end."

Situ Hui also said: "Yes, Ah Xing, anyone in this circle may change, but I think you are the only one who will not change, because you really have maintained a calm personality no matter how successful you have been over the years..."

"Not really. Sometimes I tear it when I'm angry. It's not like I haven't had other people tear it before."

Lin Xing shook his head and smiled: "The main reason is that I don't have the energy to quarrel with others right now. After all, I might as well do more things if I have the time."

"What Ah Xing did was right. Oftentimes, the more you respond and argue, the more they may think you are in the wrong, especially now that Ah Xing is so popular, and so many people are just trying to ride on your popularity."

Situ Hui thought for a while and said.

Lin Xing said: "So I didn't plan to pay attention to Qi Ning. He just wanted to kidnap me through public opinion, but he made a wrong calculation.

In the evening, when Lin Xing returned home, he took a look at the discussions on the Internet.

To be honest, Lin Xing didn't pay any attention to Qi Ning, but some people couldn't help it.

Because Ouyang Qing always thought that he was not the kind of person who would take the initiative to suffer bullying.

He responded directly to Qi Ning's late-night live broadcast, and said that if Qi Ning was not good enough, he should practice more and not be too obsessed with the success of his first movie.

Because Ouyang Qing believes that the success of most directors' first film is accidental.

This is really a stab in the back.

After all, most people now say that Qi Ning "went to heaven" all because of Lin Xing.

This is the current situation in the circle. When you fail, all kinds of things will be said about you.

Some media wanted to interview Lin Xing the next day, but Lin Xing declined.

Again, he really doesn't need to respond to anything now.

The audience's eyes are discerning.

The audience can see what's going on.

The roadshow of "Dead on Earth" has now ended, and it is almost time for it to be released in theaters.

However, the movie ultimately failed to break 40 billion.

When "The King's Guards" premiered, Lin Xing was also asked this question on the red carpet.

"I always feel that China's box office potential is huge. Currently, 40 billion, 50 billion, and 60 billion are far from the ceiling. What I can do is to work hard to polish the work, and then hope to raise the ceiling a little higher."

Lin Xing talked freely facing the red carpet.

"Lin Xing, Qi Ning has been scolding you on the live broadcast recently. Do you have anything to respond to?"

A reporter asked Lin Xing.

Lin Xing shook his head and laughed: "I have blocked him, so I have no response."

After hearing Lin Xing say it so bluntly, the others quickly asked Lin Xing why he blocked him.

Lin Xing said, isn't this asking knowingly?
Because this is the premiere of the movie "The King's Guards", Lin Xing still hopes that everyone can pay more attention to or promote "The King's Guards".

In order to maximize the profits of this IP, the name of "Jin Yi Wei" was not changed.

So a reporter asked Lin Xing what he thought the box office of "The King's Guards" would be, especially given the success of the online drama.

"I think box office predictions are the most unreliable thing. For example, there was a prediction that Death on Earth would exceed 38 billion. But in the end, the box office of this movie was billion."

Lin Xing declined to make a box office prediction.

Lin Xing chatted casually for a few more words on the red carpet before entering the backstage.

"Axing, this way."

Li Jing greeted Lin Xing and introduced Liu Jie next to him to Lin Xing.

"Hello, Mr. Liu Jie."

Lin Xing quickly greeted Liu Jie.

"Please don't call me teacher. I think you are my teacher in special effects. I watched Death on Earth and I think the special effects in this movie are amazing. There are some parts that I don't think I can do myself."

Liu Jie is also a technology geek and he is very knowledgeable about special effects technology.

"So, I'll call you Ah Xing, and you can just call me Brother Jie. Let's not be so polite."

Liu Jie waved his hand slightly and said.

The two of them continued to talk about business. Liu Jie said, "I'm working on an animated film. I'll be free in about half a month..."

"Okay, then don't take any other jobs after you finish this animated film."

Lin Xing said directly: "I'll take care of you."

Liu Jie laughed: "Okay, no problem, I couldn't ask for more."

That's how it was settled.

Half an hour later, the premiere of the movie "The King's Guards" officially began.

At the same time, Lin Xing also had the opportunity to see the difference between this movie and the online version.

What should I say? ?
When watching the first half, Lin Xing felt that the movie was very fragmented, as if the screenwriter had several lines and everyone was doing their own thing.

These lines are totally unmixed.

Lin Xing felt that everything about this movie was a bit of a mess, from the script to the characters. He had previously thought that there was no need for him to say anything because Li Jing had said that he would not interview him.

But he never expected that at the end of the premiere, he would be called up by the host.

"We all know that when you, Mr. Lin Xing, starred in the online movie "Jin Yi Wei", the online movie "Jin Yi Wei" achieved phenomenal box office. So do you think this big movie can continue to create brilliance?"

The host asked Lin Xing.

"No."

Lin Xing's answer was crisp and clear, as if he was going to ruin the situation.
