Chapter 212 The wolf is coming

Lin Zixuan just listen to Lin Xiaoling’s complaints.

He would not pay for his sister to go to Cannes and celebrate the film festival. He is not short of that little money now, but he can't be so spending money. He has gone to the place to spend more money.

Besides, Lin Xiaoling is still immature and is not good to be too spoiled, so she needs to practice more.

However, he had thought of a way to make Gyu pay attention when he was in Cannes. If the documentary won the award, he would just bring the trophy and other things back.

Under Zhang Yimou's persuasion and urging, Ge You agreed to go to the Cannes Film Festival with Gong Li.

"If Xiaoling or I can go with me, I don't know foreign languages, Xiaoling can still be an interpreter for me, and it is the one I hired." Ge You suggested.

"It is difficult for multiple producers to explain. They will definitely hire an interpreter for you, so don't bother." Lin Zixuan refused.

If Ge You brought Lin Xiaoling, the living producers would have to pay more for air tickets and food and accommodation. Although it was not much for them, it could easily lead to misunderstandings, thinking that Ge You was a big shot or something.

At this time, the actors were not very popular with assistants, especially Ge You, who was a particular person.

What is the priority? Take what should be taken, and never touch your hands if you shouldn't. Take care of your own affairs and don't cause trouble.

Lin Zixuan is the same. He would rather pay his own money to let his sister go to Cannes than let the living producer misunderstand Ge You.

"Okay, I'm probably fine in Cannes. If that documentary really wins the award, I'll go and get it. I'll go abroad very easily and always get a trophy back, right?" Ge You joked.

"Brother You, you should first think about the award speech for the Best Actor. Don't panic when the time comes." Lin Zixuan reminded, "I think it's quite hopeful."

"There are so many good actors in foreign countries, so I definitely have no chance, I just go and make up the numbers." Ge You said calmly.

Since he was not a professional and had never learned formal acting skills, Ge You has always been not confident in his acting skills.

Compared with the storm caused by living in the entertainment industry, Jiang Wen's sunny days are still struggling.

After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Wen borrowed some money. Wen Jun brought some of it from Xiangjiang. Finally, he finished filming and was in post-production. The film has been filmed until now, and he can't give up halfway.

Everyone worked harder and finished the film, which was a matter of worry.

Lin Zixuan is cooperating with Beijing Film Studio to shoot Party A and Party B.

Under the strong promotion of South Korean Sanping, Beijing Film Studio used manpower and material resources as investment, which was equivalent to RMB 500,000. In cooperation with Haomeng Company, the total investment of Party A and Party B reached 2.5 million.

In the domestic film industry, this is a considerable amount of shooting funds.

A few years ago, Mi Jiashan spent 800,000 yuan on a filming film of a stubborn film. Now the prices have risen and the actors’ pay has risen. At that time, Ge You’s pay was 800 yuan, but now it’s 150,000 yuan.

This era is changing too quickly.

Lin Zixuan asked Jiang Wen to use the editing room of the Beijing Film Studio. Everyone is now in a cooperative relationship, and the price is relatively cheap.

With the lessons of living, Jiang Wen became much more restrained during editing.

Think about it, even if a film like Zhang Yimou is banned if it is said to be banned, Jiang Wen is not sure that he is stronger than Zhang Yimou. The General Administration will give him a glimpse.

After all, making movies is not about self-entertainment, and ultimately, it is necessary to show them to the audience. This refers to domestic audiences.

To be honest, most foreigners watch Chinese movies with a curious attitude. If they don’t live in this environment, they cannot truly understand the meaning of the movie.

Although art is all the same, only Chinese people who have truly experienced that era can understand the stories told alively and resonate with each other.

Jiang Wen thought that the film could be released in the country and won awards at film festivals abroad.

If he can't have both, he still wants to win awards at the film festival. This is the first movie he directed. He always wants to pursue artistically without leaving any regrets.

"I plan to indulge in such a random way, and this life will be worth it, otherwise I will feel that living is boring." In the editing room, looking at the flowing light and shadow on the front curtain, Jiang Wen said deeply.

However, based on Lin Zixuan's understanding of him, Jiang Wen probably wanted to indulge more than this time.

At the end of April, Lin Zixuan attended a symposium by the General Administration.

This symposium was quite lively, and all participants were big shots in the film industry, including directors of major film studios, managers of cinemas, and experts and scholars in film.

Several private film and television companies in the capital were also invited, but they were not valued much and could only listen.

The theme of the symposium was how to boost the film market in China and how to deal with the imported foreign commercial blockbusters.

1993 was the most sluggish film market in China. The data is the most intuitive.

In 1990, the total box office nationwide was 2.2 billion, 2.3 billion in 1991, 2 billion in 1992, and 1.3 billion in 1993.

In terms of film production, about 150 films are filmed every year, but there is really market appeal and only a few movies that make money. The audience's interest in domestic films has dropped sharply, and the film industry is facing a serious crisis.

In order to get Chinese movies out of the predicament and let the audience return to the cinema to watch movies, the General Administration issued a document.

Cinemas are allowed to import about 10 films in the form of a share every year, which basically reflects the world's excellent civilization achievements and basically expresses contemporary film art and technological achievements.

In the past, China also imported foreign movies, but they only used a buyout method. The buyout price of each movie is up to 20,000 US dollars.

This low price cannot attract the interest of foreign film manufacturers at all. The old movies with low quality are all bought.

This time, the accounting method was divided. The proportion of the accounting was that foreign film companies and China Film Company won 46% of the total box office, provincial and municipal film companies won between 8% and 10%, and the rest belonged to the theater.

In this way, the higher the box office of a movie in China, the more money foreign filmmakers will get. In order to make more profits, they will bring high-quality foreign commercial blockbusters to China for release.

These foreign blockbusters can attract audiences into theaters, domestic box offices have risen, and the Chinese film market has flourished.

At the same time, foreign blockbusters will have a strong impact on domestic films.

Only by improving the quality of the film and learning advanced foreign shooting techniques and publicity methods can domestic filming and raising the meaning of the general administration survive in this competition. This is also the meaning of the General Administration.

Use the catfish effect to activate the competitiveness of the Chinese film industry, either survive or eliminate it.

Lin Zixuan knew very well that for the domestic film industry, this time it was really a wolf. To be continued.
