This incident caused a lot of shock in the film industry, and everyone would talk a few words when they were together.

Some people lament that the General Administration’s review was too strict, while others think that Zhang Yimou was too stubborn in recent years.

Since Zhang Yimou won several international awards, his connection with the domestic film industry has not been as close as before.

He is not short of funds for filming movies, and there are a large number of investors outside who are willing to pay, so he doesn't need to compromise within the system.

When a domestic director had no way to ask for one or two million yuan for filming funds, he used millions of dollars to shoot the film he wanted to shoot. When a domestic director was fighting for the prize, the Golden Bull Award specially changed the rules for him and allowed co-productions to enter the award range.

This gap will inevitably make people have ideas.

Zhang Yimou is getting closer and closer to Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas filmmakers, and neglects communication with the mainland film industry. Over time, relationships will inevitably become unfamiliar and friendships will depend on management.

Just like this time, when everyone talks about Zhang Yimou, there are not many people who are willing to talk to him. Most of them are watching coldly, and some even putting in trouble. This is the norm in society.

Lin Zixuan came to a conclusion from it.

You should not be too independent in your work, but pay attention to equal benefits. A person cannot take all the benefits, otherwise you will suffer one day.

Since the movie "Alive" failed to pass the review, the news on it was very tight. Changhe Literature and Art Publishing House was unwilling to take the risk and was preparing to deal with the 20,000 printed books. The publishing house called Lin Zixuan if he wanted it.

Lin Zixuan asked the publishing house to send him some, but he didn't want to do anything, it would be a waste of time, just to give it to someone.

This is a book with a regular book number and can be put on the market, but the publisher does not want to take risks.

A few days later, he went to the post office to collect the package and found five large sacks, which probably contained hundreds of books. In fact, he only wanted dozens of them, but he didn't expect the publishing house to be so generous.

The remaining 10,000 copies of the publisher were probably treated as waste paper.

Lin Zixuan put the sacks on the car and transported them home. He unloaded them with great effort and put them in the living room. He couldn't help but worry about the five large sacks.

Even if the person I know gives one copy, there are only dozens of copies. Those who have no friendship are embarrassed to give it to you. People think he is showing off. There is really nothing to show off in this matter.

These books take up space at home and donate them to the library. I guess they won't want so many.

At this time, Mu Shanshan came back from get off work.

"Why are there so many? Didn't you just have dozens of books?" Mu Shanshan said in surprise.

"I think this is the publishing house expressing its dissatisfaction and posed a problem for me. You said that our house is just such a big place, where is it better to put it? It can't be used to cause fire, right?" Lin Zixuan joked.

"What are you talking about? This is the first novel you have published, so you can't publish it." Mu Shanshan said dissatisfied.

"This is true. I feel embarrassed to say that I am a writer without a published novel. Now our family finally has two writers. Unfortunately, this book has not made any money." Lin Zixuan said mockingly.

"This is not a matter of money or not. Your book is much more important than the one I wrote. I will pass on my book if someone reads it. If you can pass it on, there will always be times when it reflects its value in the future." Mu Shanshan said confidently.

"I don't plan to give it away after you say that. This is the first edition. After the demolition of the publisher, the rest is in our hands. It's too rare and can be auctioned." Lin Zixuan joked, "When the time comes, we will auction ten books a year, which is enough to auction for decades."

"Look at your stingyness. You really care about that little money when you were so famous." Mu Shanshan said contemptuously.

"That's right, I'll give it to someone." Lin Zixuan nodded.

The two of them rolled up their sleeves, opened the sack, sorted out the books inside, and placed them on the table in piles, with a total of five hundred books, which looked quite spectacular.

The whole room was filled with the fragrance of ink, which was the fragrance of books.

Mu Shanshan picked up a book, the cover was quite simple, it was an abstract painting and a paragraph of text excerpted from the beginning of the book.

"When I was ten years younger than now, I got a idle profession and went to the countryside to collect folk songs. Throughout that summer, I wandered in cicadas and the fields of the village filled with sunshine."

The story of "Living" begins here.

Perhaps when this book is published in the future, a series of honors will be printed on the cover, such as being made into a movie by Zhang Yimou, or winning a grand prize, being evaluated by celebrities, etc.

This is the first, the easiest version.

With these hundreds of books, the fragrance of books in the room will not dissipate, and you can always smell the smell of ink. Friends will praise you when they come to visit. You are really a literary person.

"We are considered a scholarly family." Lin Zixuan joked.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan gave it to others with novels, both for people who are familiar or worthy of giving. Some acquaintances would come to ask for it. This is a very good relationship.

If you want to know who are in Lin Zixuan's circle, you can see if this person has the first version of "To Live".

The first batch he sent were naturally Ge You, Feng Xiaogang and others.

The movie "Alive" cannot be released in China, which has a significant impact on Ge You. After all, it is a movie starring him. It is a pity that he has been preparing for so long that it is impossible to be seen by domestic audiences.

This time, the main target was Zhang Yimou, and as an actor, Ge You was only implicated.

Although those people criticized the movie, they did not criticize Ge You, and some even thought Ge You performed well.

Now, Ge You is facing a choice.

"Alive" was sent to the Cannes Film Festival for exhibition. In order to avoid suspicion, Zhang Yimou called Ge You and Gong Li to attend the film festival together in Cannes, France.

One is that if the film wins an award, someone can go on stage to receive the award, and the appearance of the starring actors can increase the attention of the film.

Needless to say, Gong Li is an international movie star. Ge You's influence is mainly in China and is still a newcomer in the international movie industry.

This is exactly why he is hesitant.

This film failed to pass the review and was a violation of regulations. If he ran to Cannes, it would be a bit inappropriate and would leave a bad impression on it. He was a person who was unwilling to cause trouble.

"Brother You, you are just an actor, and this matter has nothing to do with you. It's nothing wrong with going to the international film festival to see the world. Maybe you can even get a movie hero back." Lin Zixuan persuaded.

"Forget it, I know it, there's no chance." Ge You shook his head, "Besides, I can't even speak English well, and foreigners don't know me, and I can't help selling movies. Why do you go? It's enough to have Gong Li. It's quite expensive to fly back and forth, so don't waste other people's money."

"This may be a good thing. In the past two years, our company's films will be sold abroad in the future. You first go and inquire about the enemy's situation. Whether the Good Dream Company can go to the world in the future depends on you." Lin Zixuan encouraged.

"Don't lift me so high. I'm afraid of falling. Let's talk about it if you can't go." Ge You hesitated.
