This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

"The Vanishing Bride's box office exceeded 10 billion in one week, shocking the industry once again."

"The reputation of The Vanishing Bride has begun to ferment. This is another phenomenal film of the year by Lin Xing."

"The movie 'The Vanishing Bride' will support the entire November, and even December."

……

Major media outlets have reported extensively on "The Vanishing Bride".

Many people feel that although the box office of "The Vanishing Bride" was nearly 7 million in two days, the total revenue in the following days was less than 3 million, which is a bit weak.

Because according to the industry's belief that "The Vanishing Bride" was a hit, it should have easily reached 14 billion in the first week.

Of course, for Lao Zhong, she feels that the box office of the movie "The Vanishing Bride" will probably soar further in the future.

"I feel like everyone seems to be a little too harsh on Lin Xing. If it were any other actor, they would be bragging if the movie made 10 billion in the first week, or even 10 billion in total."

"What's the result? Just because it's about Lin Xing, everyone thinks that "The Vanishing Bride" will flop after taking in 10 billion on its first day?"

“I think this is a bit nonsense. First of all, the 10 billion yuan in the first week of The Vanishing Bride is already quite strong, because it is a small schedule. Also, everyone thought it was a romance film at the beginning, so it is actually a bit niche, but it is different now.

At present, the reputation of "The Vanishing Bride" has reached its peak, and more and more audiences have begun to go to the cinema, and many people even watch it twice or three times to look for details.

So I really think that the box office of this movie will definitely soar next time.

……

This is another amazing prediction by Lao Zhong.

Of course, Lao Zhong actually agrees with Lu Yang's [fraudulent marketing].

Because Lao Zhong believes that this is a kind of screening, screening out lovers who are willing to watch movies, and then further fermenting from this country of lovers.

Therefore, Lao Zhong felt that there was no reason why "The Vanishing Bride" would have a poor box office.

This is indeed the case. The box office reached 7.5 million in the second week. Such a box office really made everyone feel that it was too strong.

After two weeks, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the spread of short videos, and Lin Xing's crazy roadshows, "The Vanishing Bride" successfully reversed its decline at the weekend.

At present, the box office of "The Vanishing Bride" has successfully exceeded 17 billion.

"Of course I am satisfied. Tell me, why should I be dissatisfied with this box office?"

At the roadshow, Lin Xing started chatting with the audience.

Some viewers were disappointed: "But despite all the acclaim, the box office didn't break 10 billion in the second week..."

"Not every movie is like 'Charlotte' that completely breaks away from the market rules, and the first week box office of a movie is basically the peak..."

Lin Xing smiled at everyone and said, "And I've said before that we still need to be calm about the movie box office, because we have already made back our investment, and it's a big win, so at this point I think it's all profit..."

What Lin Xing said was a bit irritating.

Still calm? ?
The box office of "The Vanishing Bride" is extremely impressive. Such box office is the envy of everyone.

"Teacher Lin, many people say that you have been creating miracles, and your movies have never failed. And not only movies, but also your TV series have never failed..."

At the scene, another media asked: "So are you worried about failure?"

"Of course I am worried. In fact, just like what everyone said before about the movie "Falling Leaves", I thought from the beginning that the box office might not be good, but even so, I am willing to shoot it because I think an actor should not be completely kidnapped by the box office. I want to shoot some high-grossing movies, but I don’t want the movies to be tied to the box office. Many times, high box office does not necessarily mean a good movie, and low box office does not necessarily mean a bad movie..."

Lin Xing smiled and said, "In fact, I have said this many times. I only hope that a movie will have an audience who likes it. And as an actor, I want to bring something new to the audience. If I keep bringing things that make the audience aesthetically tired, then this will definitely be abandoned by the audience..."

At this point, Lin Xing paused and said, "It's still what I said before. We must respect the market and respect the audience even more."

These things are often easier said than done.

But precisely because it is difficult, we need to do it.

"Teacher Lin, hello, I am a college student. You once said that "evil is evil", but don't we need to explore the reasons behind evil and avoid it from happening again?"

This was asked by a college student.

In this regard, Lin Xing felt that this question was actually quite good.

"I think what you said is correct, but it is the responsibility of sociologists to explore the causes of evil, while the responsibility of film is actually to reveal the nature of evil."

Lin Xing believes that there is nothing wrong with exploring the causes of evil.

But how does the saying go?

Preventing evil is not the same as understanding evil.

Sociologists or legal workers can develop prevention strategies by studying crime dynamics, but movies, as a mass media, can blur the line between right and wrong if they overly exaggerate the causes of evil.

"I think movies are not sociological papers, so their responsibility is to present the truth instead of making excuses for the evildoers."

"There is another point that I particularly dislike now, which is the saying that there must be something hateful about pitiful people. I mentioned this before during the roadshow, that hateful people are often better at pretending to be pitiful."

"Just like why the media always say 'he is an honest man' when reporting on the murderer, it is offensive. Now 'honest man' has almost become a derogatory term."

……

Lin Xing did not think that there was no problem with his remarks. He also said at the roadshow: "Actually, I am not young anymore. I also know that many young people do not like to be preached. In fact, everyone hates some dad-like remarks the most. So what I said just now is not to teach you. I also do not think that a movie can have any educational significance..."

At this point, Lin Xing suddenly paused, then smiled and said: "In fact, this reminds me of Mr. Guo Haishan, who once said that CCTV Spring Festival Gala should not always think about educating people. Everyone has been educated 365 days a year, so CCTV Spring Festival Gala should just bring happiness to everyone during the Spring Festival.

This point is actually very suitable in the movie. This movie has no educational significance. It is just a movie."

……

From the beginning to the end, Lin Xing was actually quite rational about movies.

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of applause at the scene.

At this time, Lin Xing waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone to calm down first. He said to the college student: "Actually, I'm not trying to convince you. I just think we can seek common ground while reserving differences, and then we can continue to discuss the movie..."

The current public opinion on the Internet is actually too extreme, and many times it is either black or white.

This is wrong. Lin Xing hopes that everyone can seek common ground while reserving differences.

It’s not a matter of right or wrong, so don’t always think about convincing anyone.

Just like discussing a movie, you may not like the plot, you may not like that character.

There is no problem with these.

"I think the most amazing thing about Lin Xing is that he always has something new to offer during his roadshows." "Yes, that's really amazing. You know, many artists are very perfunctory when it comes to roadshows, and some don't even have much work."

"Yes, I've noticed this a long time ago, but Lin Xing is not like that. Every time Lin Xing does a roadshow, he has something new."

……

Many people couldn't help but admire Lin Xing after seeing the hot searches on Weibo such as #Movies are not a tool for educating people# and #Movie discussions need to seek common ground while reserving differences#.

……

Because of the two consecutive weeks of roadshows, Lin Xing returned to the imperial capital for the third week.

Then he came to Peking University and Tsinghua University in the capital, and this time he came to discuss movies with college students from Peking University and Tsinghua University in the capital.

At the same time, the host this time is none other than Zhao Hai, a teacher at the Imperial Capital Film Academy and a well-known film critic, and Feng Ting, a well-known young artist at the Imperial Capital Film Academy.

Feng Ting is a junior student at the Imperial Capital Film Academy, but she has already filmed quite a few movies and is a leading figure of the new era of the Imperial Capital Film Academy.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. I am actually really excited to come to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the imperial capital, because my parents taught me when I was a child that I should study hard and get into Tsinghua University and Peking University..."

At this time, Lin Xing first went on stage to introduce himself, and then expressed his excitement.

At the same time, Lin Xing also said to everyone: "Today we are just discussing movies together. It doesn't matter what kind of education it is. Because I am an illiterate person, I don't think I am qualified to educate the young people here..."

This sentence also made everyone laugh.

In fact, today we have not only students from Peking University and Tsinghua University, but also some people from film academies.

Of course, whether it is Peking University, Tsinghua University, or the Imperial Capital Film Academy, none of them are within Lin Xing's reach.

"Let's just have a casual chat. Just like what I said to everyone during the roadshow, we should make progress together. No one should try to educate anyone else. We should just seek common ground while reserving differences..."

Lin Xing said this and sat back.

At this time, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Before we start, I actually have a question for Teacher Lin..."

"Teacher Zhao, please don't call me Teacher Lin. Just call me A Xing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask..."

Lin Xing said hurriedly: "I will definitely answer the questions I can answer, and I will try to find an answer to the questions I can't answer..."

This sentence made everyone in the audience laugh.

Zhao Hai smiled and asked, "I mean, why does the ending of "The Vanishing Bride" have to be tragic?"

Lin Xing laughed: "Teacher Zhao, do you think tragedy is bad?"

Zhao Hai said: "Very good, but I want to know what you think?"

Lin Xing said: "It's not that I want a tragedy, but because from the beginning we have been creating this story based on the concept of 'evil will be punished with evil'. Tragedy is actually a faithful presentation of the logic of the character's behavior."

"I don't like any redemption plots. I think this character is just pure evil. And you all saw the court scene, right? I actually made a few micro-expressions..."

At this time, Lin Xing talked about the court trial scene in "The Vanishing Bride".

From the very beginning, this character was thinking about making a life-saving talisman for himself in the event of mental illness.

But he didn't expect that the character played by Lin Miaoyin had been acting for him all the time.

It’s a play within a play. Evil will be punished and evildoers will be punished by evildoers.

This is the logic behind the creation of "The Vanishing Bride".

Next is the discussion about the movie "The Vanishing Bride".

Everyone present here is knowledgeable, so naturally the discussions are of very high quality.

"Teacher Lin, what kind of movie do you think is a good movie?"

A college student at the scene asked.

Lin Xing asked back: "What kind of movie do you think is a good movie?"

The college student said, “I think a good movie is one that tells a good story.”

"Teacher Zhao Hai, what do you think?"

Lin Xing looked towards Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai said: "I also think that a good movie is one that tells a good story."

"What about Tingting?"

Lin Xing did not forget Feng Ting, after all, he still needed to continue to serve her.

Feng Ting smiled and said, "I think a good movie is one that the audience likes."

This answer also drew applause.

As for the people at the scene who were cheering, "Only the ones that can win awards are good movies."

At this time, Lin Xing waited until everyone had finished speaking before he said, "I personally think that these are all right, but not entirely right, because I believe that there is only one standard for a good movie, and that is sincerity."

“This sincerity is actually just 15 words.”

“Don’t fool the audience.”

“It’s not to please capital.”

“Don’t be self-satisfied.”

……

This statement made the students present couldn't help but applaud. In fact, only Lin Xing dared to say this.

Because Lin Xing has been bombarding the entire market.

“Whether it’s The Vanishing Bride or other films, I think the success is because we have always been sincere to the story, to the characters, and to the audience…”

This sentence once again received applause.

Then they talked about the actor's life experience. Feng Ting might have let herself go a little bit, so she asked, "Brother Xing, I know you have helped the poor before. Actually, for someone of your level..."

"Well, it's true that I'm on the rise, but I'm just an ordinary person. I think I have the ability to do something, so it's my duty..."

Lin Xing reacted very quickly. He interrupted Feng Ting's next words and then said again: "In fact, there are many ways to experience life, but I think the most important thing is not to forget where you come from..." (End of this chapter)
