Chapter 170 Return to Heart

Sitting on the plane back to the capital, Lin Zixuan thought about the Golden Star Awards last night.

For him, he was just a pure spectator, and he watched a very good show. He neither took the opportunity to make friends with the big guys in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry nor met those big directors and big stars.

He just sat aside and waited for the end of the award ceremony, with a few Cantonese songs singing well in the middle.

It’s not that he pretends to be noble, but that he feels it is unnecessary. Even if he runs over to introduce himself, others will not remember him.

The key to whether someone can be valued depends on whether he has capital. He does not have that capital yet.

Lin Zixuan is not without gains. Through the Film Awards last night, he has a preliminary understanding of the Xiangjiang filmmakers of this era...

In the past year, Xiangjiang has produced more than 300 movies, with a single movie having a box office of more than 40 million. Xiangjiang has a total of 119 cinemas, providing more than 120,000 seats.

Xiangjiang filmmakers have completely different attitudes towards mainland China and Hollywood.

They yearn for Hollywood, and the big guys of film companies want to cooperate with Hollywood film companies to invest in American movies.

Both the big directors and big stars in Hong Kong want to develop Hollywood and do not hesitate to play supporting roles for this.

As for the mainland, directors in Xiangjiang will bring the behind-the-scenes staff in Xiangjiang when they go to mainland China to film because they feel that they cannot find professional film practitioners in the mainland.

They even complain that mainland staff take naps, which affects their work.

In their impression, the shooting environment in the mainland was very bad, and the crew would be watched by the masses, so they had to call the police to maintain order in order to shoot normally.

In short, they believe that the mainland staff are unprofessional and inefficient, and the film industry is extremely backward.

Lin Zixuan was thinking about these problems. Some problems do exist, while others were caused by different concepts.

In Chinese film and television educational institutions, such as the Beijing Film Academy, the courses taught are all art films, and the directors produced are also all art films.

This is a different approach from commercial films in Hong Kong. We cannot say that mainland filmmakers are not professional, we can only say that they are not familiar with how to shoot commercial films.

As a newcomer who has just entered the film industry, Lin Zixuan still has a lot to learn.

However, he knew that if mainland films want to grow and grow, it would be useless to win several awards in the international film industry by relying solely on art films. They would not open up the market and form a scale. In the end, they would still have to follow the path of commercial films.

Especially commercial blockbusters can compete with Hollywood movies.

If you compete for box office with art movies and Hollywood blockbusters, you will hit the stone with an egg, which is a complete tragedy.

Thinking of this, Lin Zixuan sighed in his heart that domestic films are still in their infancy and there is still a long way to go in the future.

He looked at Jiang Wen, who was sitting not far away.

At this time, Jiang Wen was a little worried and rushed back to the capital to prepare his first movie. He wanted to do something big in the director industry. He was preparing to go to various middle schools and military courtyards in the capital to select 15 or 16 years old boys.

You must be a strong, healthy, naughty and wild boy and woman with a look of wildness.

In Jiang Wen's impression, the children in the courtyard in the 1970s were all the same temperament that they were not afraid of heaven or earth, and dared to do anything. They were not restrained and could do whatever they wanted.

In order to truly restore that era, he planned to lock these children in the military camp for a closed training.

They were not allowed to watch TV, practice military exercises every day, recite revolutionary quotations, listen to revolutionary songs, watch old movies from the 1960s, and were completely immersed in the atmosphere of the early 1970s.

He believed that only in this way could he take the taste of that era, pure and revolutionary passion.

Listening to Jiang Wen's ambitious remarks on his shooting plan, Lin Zixuan had a premonition that although this shooting was in the capital and was his own territory, the difficulty was no easier than shooting "The People in the Capital in New York" in the United States.

When he returned to the capital, he said goodbye to Jiang Wen at the airport before noon. He took the bus home.

Today, Mu Shanshan went to work and there was no one at home. Lin Zixuan opened her luggage, put her clothes in hand, and gifts she brought back from Xiangjiang were indispensable every time she went on a business trip.

Now that the family has a small savings, the expenses need not be as frugal as before.

The award ceremony last night was too late, and then he went to the food stall in Xiangjiang with Jiang Wen to drink and have supper. He didn't sleep well. He felt very tired and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In a daze, Lin Zixuan heard a sound outside, so he got up and looked at it, and saw Mu Shanshan working in the room.

"I'm getting up, I haven't eaten lunch yet?" Mu Shanshan said with concern.

"No, I'll take a nap for a while." Lin Zixuan yawned and said lazily.

"Come on, wash your face and have a meal, I'm ready." Mu Shanshan urged.

"You are not at work, it's not time to get off work." Lin Zixuan glanced at the clock and said in confusion at it at about three o'clock in the afternoon.

"You didn't answer the phone call at noon, so I came back to check it out. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't call you. I asked for leave." Mu Shanshan responded.

Lin Zixuan thought about it for a moment and seemed to hear the phone ringing in his sleep, but he ignored it. He washed his face, Mu Shanshan brought the food, and the two of them ate together, talking about this trip to Hong Kong.

"1 million US dollars, you really dare to do anything. When they come to Beijing, they will understand. You are all novices at all, so what does it matter." Mu Shanshan sighed.

"We are right. Jiang Wen is in the movie circle, I am in the TV circle, you are in the TV station, don't we have a relationship everywhere? Don't worry, even if he comes to the capital, he can't figure out the tricks." Lin Zixuan said indifferently.

Not a local from the capital, nor a person in the real circle, it is not easy to figure out the Beijing entertainment industry.

"It's a movie again, and you have to take care of the art center. Are you busy?" Mu Shanshan said worriedly.

"The art center has been arranged, so I don't need to worry too much. The filming location of this film is in the capital. It's not difficult to find a military compound." Lin Zixuan explained, "By the way, have you contacted Gong Li?"

"The show has been recorded, and she is in a hurry to film, and the process is a bit hasty." Mu Shanshan said regretfully.

Generally speaking, when choosing a subject in an interview program, you need to do preliminary preparations. The more you prepare, the better the program will be.

For example, find the behind-the-scenes movies that Gong Li took before, go to the Drama Academy to interview Gong Li's teachers, and classmates from the same class as Gong Li, so that you can introduce the growth history of this international star in detail and comprehensively.

"You didn't ask her about her relationship, did you?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.

"No, it's all about the movie. I've communicated in advance. This is a cultural program, so I'm not as gossipy as you think." Mu Shanshan said dissatisfied.

After dinner, at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them sat at home for a while and then went out with gifts. (To be continued.)
