"Sunny Days" has been shut down due to funding issues, and there are actually not many shots left. However, the crew's hearts are distracted, the shooting efficiency is very low, and it often makes mistakes.

Lin Zixuan advised Jiang Wen to stop for the time being and wait before saying that it would be meaningless to hold on like this. It is almost the end of the year. Let's do this first.

I took advantage of this time to find investors. Are you afraid that I can’t find anyone to work if I have funds?

In fact, it is really difficult to find investors in China. Lin Zixuan has tried it. When people heard that they were filming films from the 1970s, they shook their heads and refused. This is not a matter of money, but mainly because they are afraid of causing trouble.

The field condition has had a great impact in the circle, and even those investors are outsiders, they have heard of it.

There is no good news on Wen Jun, so it is not easy to make money in Xiangjiang.

Jiang Wen had no choice but to let the crew take a holiday, go around for dinner, and find the big guys to sell his movies.

As a popular Chinese actor, he doesn't have to check out the bill to attend dinners. The rich people are happy to chat with him. Everyone has a good chat, but once investment is involved, it won't work.

"Sunny Days" is quite famous in the Beijing entertainment industry, but most of them have bad reputations and are in debt everywhere.

In the second half of 1993, the real estate industry collapsed in some areas of southern China, especially Qiongzhou, the southernmost part, which was an indelible nightmare for real estate developers.

The bursting of this real estate bubble made the Chinese people understand a new term, that is, unfinished buildings.

"Sunny Days" is called the unfinished building in the Chinese film industry.

It is rumored in the circle that the producer in Xiangjiang has gone away and cannot pay his salary. The crew has disbanded and spent more than one million US dollars. The film has not been finished for half a year. This is not a bad ending.

The big guys were scared when they heard this, and no one was willing to take on such a project.

Even if Jiang Wen drinks with the rich people every day, he still can't find a way. Every time Lin Zixuan sees Jiang Wen, he says he was drinking with someone two days ago, and he is still feeling uncomfortable now.

It can be seen that he has been soaking on the wine table these days. In addition to looking for investors, he also has the intention of drinking to relieve his sorrows.

Unlike Jiang Wen's experience, Zhang Yimou ended the filming of "Alive" before the New Year and returned to the capital for post-production.

Although Zhang Yimou also filmed a film with a background in the 1960s and 1970s, he is not short of funds. Even if he has no money, it is very easy to find funds abroad, so there is no need to worry at all.

This is the difference between a big director and a new director.

Once the film enters the post-production editing, the crew will be disbanded and the salaries of the actors and crew members must be settled clearly.

Lin Zixuan received a notice asking him to collect the remaining 20,000 yuan. It was agreed before that the novel adaptation was 30,000 yuan, and the script creation was 20,000 yuan, and the total was 50,000 yuan.

During the process of creating the script of "Living", Lin Zixuan provided a lot of opinions, but Zhang Yimou did not use much.

The main reason is that he has different views from the literary planner of Zhang Yimou, so he was too lazy to pay attention to it later, so he let them do it. After all, he has worked hard in it, and he feels at ease to receive the reward.

Lin Zixuan drove with Ge You to Zhang Yimou's post-production villa.

"Brother You, should we hire Director Zhang when we open the business?" Lin Zixuan asked on the way.

"Director Zhang is going to edit movies recently, so he should be very busy, but let me say that it is someone else's business whether to come or not. We should be considerate in etiquette." Ge You said carefully.

What they are talking about is the opening ceremony of Haomeng Company.

It is the end of the year now, and Ge You is back. All of his friends in the capital are here. It will be time for everyone to go home for the New Year in a few days. After the New Year, work will start again. It is not easy to get together these people.

The first TV series of Good Dream Company has been filmed soon, and the situation is good.

They thought about holding an opening ceremony in the past few days so that people in the circle could know that there was such a film and television company, which was not a good reputation.

It is a good thing to be low-key in the entertainment industry, but you can't be too low-key, especially when starting a company, you still have to make some noise.

"I'm just afraid that Director Zhang will be too busy. OK, I'll invite you." Lin Zixuan nodded.

In the Beijing entertainment industry, there are also some specialties in which film and television companies can hire to open.

Acquaintances with friendship naturally need to invite them, and those seniors in the circle also need to invite them. They come to give face, but it doesn’t matter if they don’t come, mainly because of respect.

The most difficult thing to grasp is for those who are half-familiar and unfamiliar, and Zhang Yimou belongs to this type of person.

Logically speaking, a small film and television company opened, so it would be considered as a face-saving person to invite a big director like Zhang Yimou, but big directors don’t participate in all activities. Otherwise, don’t be too busy and have no time to create.

Lin Zixuan felt that his relationship with Zhang Yimou was average and he might not be able to invite this great director.

But let’s just mention it, it’s up to him to make good use of Zhang Yimou’s or not.

"We're going to make a movie next year?" Ge You asked intriguedly.

Ge You had just returned to the capital for a few days and had been resting at home. This time, he was too busy filming "Alive" and had some sequelae. It took some time to adjust to recover.

Real actors generally do not take on many roles. If they are too dedicated to acting, they will overdraw, so they should be slow down.

Those actors who take on roles frequently do not have high production but generally have low quality and do not perform well.

"The current plan is to give it to Brother Zhang. I have some idea. The movie has not been found yet. It is a comedy film." Lin Zixuan introduced, "Brother You, you can rest for a while, and you will talk about it when the preparations are almost done."

"Okay, comedy is pretty good. This film was so hard to shoot. Now I feel uncomfortable when I think about it." Ge You sighed.

The two came to the place and received their pay.

In China, actors’ pay is usually paid part of the pay before starting the filming, and the settlement is clear after the filming is completed. This is for the main characters, and for supporting roles, they can basically get the pay after the filming.

It is easy to get money, just sign and stamp with a private seal or put a hand seal.

I heard that Ge You came, Zhang Yimou came out of the editing room, and everyone chatted for a few words. He was very satisfied with Ge You's performance and praised Ge You for breaking through his previous image and performing just rightly.

"Director Zhang, Brother You and I have opened a small film and television company. We will hold an opening ceremony in two days. Do you have time to enjoy the scenery?" Lin Zixuan invited while talking.

"Congratulations." Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment and congratulated, "Let me see the time. The investor in this film was anxious and said he wanted to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. I was busy in the editing room all day. If I couldn't leave, I would ask the assistant director to go there for me."

"That's OK, please trouble Director Zhang." Lin Zixuan responded.

Zhang Yimou said this, but actually refused.

He is not very familiar with Lin Zixuan's circle, and he is busy with the post-production of the film, attending the Cannes Film Festival in May, and has no time to go to the opening ceremony of a small company, just send a personal message. (To be continued.)
