Chapter 221 Producer
Lin Zixuan praised the sunny days at the French, and said that this film was one of the best art films in China. It would be your loss if you don’t see it when you come to China.
This kind of hawking-style sales made the translator on the side laugh.
This translation is actually not a translator, but also a producer, from the capital, named Wang Wei.
Wang Wei was in his forties. He entered the film industry in 1977 and worked as an actor for more than ten years, but he did not make a big name.
In the late 1980s, China had a trend of going abroad. She went to France to study business administration. After graduation, she transformed into a film producer and producer, and had rich experience in film production and international financing.
Producers are also divided into grades, such as Lin Zixuan, who is still in the early stages and can only make trouble in the country.
Senior producers can invite big directors and big stars to promote cooperation from international capital. After making movies, they can also ensure participation in international film festivals and even affect the ownership of film festival awards.
This kind of international filmmakers are familiar with the presidents of major film festivals and understand the dynamics and trends of the international film industry.
The French asked Louis and Wang Wei to come to China this time because they felt that Zhang Yimou was currently in the rising period and could make artistic and high-level films, which are very marketable in Europe.
Especially at European film festivals, it will be popular and can be sold at a good price.
A director has only been able to show his talent for a few years, and he can make a series of good films at a certain period of time.
This is the peak of creation.
Of course, this does not mean that he can't make good movies in the future, but he can't make good movies, but he can't surpass his previous ones.
There is a saying in the circle that a director can only make three movies in his life, and the rest of the movies are repetitions of these three movies.
In fact, many directors have made a movie in their lifetime, and it is too difficult to break through their own style.
Zhang Yimou is currently at the peak of his creation. Living is probably his best movie. It's like a parabola, and it will start to decline when it reaches its peak.
Unless you are seeking transformation, it is difficult to make any major artistic breakthroughs.
Although Wang Wei is not often in the capital, he has heard of Jiang Wen and his sunny days. Many people in the circle thought that this movie would end, but they didn't expect that they would start to make the late stage.
A movie will be sold on the market after the post-production instructions. At this time, you will rarely miss the game.
After all, where are the filmed materials placed? You can roughly judge the quality of the film by looking at it. Unlike when the film is just beginning to prepare, it is difficult to judge whether the film will succeed.
It can be seen that this crew is in a difficult situation, otherwise Lin Zixuan would not have sold movies in this way.
As a producer, Wang Wei is thinking about whether he can gain benefits from it. This is only known after watching the movie.
For her, persuading the French to watch an unfinished movie is a slight effort, and she can leave a favor with Lin Zixuan. Even if it is not used for the time being, no one can tell what will happen in the future.
This matter is in Wang Wei's hands. Otherwise, if Lin Zixuan said something, Wang Wei would not translate it, or if he deliberately translated it, Lin Zixuan would have no choice.
After some exchange, the French asked Louis to agree to watch the sunny days.
Lin Zixuan called Jiang Wen and asked him to take the film to the screening room of the Beijing Film Studio. When they arrived at the Beijing Film Studio, Jiang Wen was ready.
The film has not been edited in full yet, the plot is a bit scattered and not compact enough, and some confusing shots appear from time to time, affecting the viewing experience.
However, it is precisely such a movie that makes the French feel unique and endlessly praised.
Most of the films that the fifth generation of directors in China have won awards internationally are films that express suffering, but this sunny day shows the ignorance and impulse of teenagers.
This kind of subject is very popular with the French people. Even if there are no French subtitles, he still enjoys reading it with relish.
After letting Louis read it, he wrote seven pieces of paper for Jiang Wen, put forward 33 opinions, and promised to help solve the difficulties faced by the crew.
After reading the 33 opinions translated, Lin Zixuan felt that he was truly a Frenchman.
Let Louis praised the plot of a group of teenage actors taking a bath in the bathroom naked, believing that this showed the healthy beauty of oriental men and called those teenagers beautiful men.
He also admires the heroine Ning Jing quite well. Ning Jing's performance in the film is fascinating, and he thinks it can be bolder.
This is what the French think of art films.
In fact, you can tell by watching French movies that French movies without nude lenses cannot be considered authentic French movies.
Let Louis return to France with a video provided by Jiang Wen for more than ten minutes, and soon contact a German director who helped Jiang Wen find a studio called Berlin Berkesberg for post-production.
Of course, this is not free, but exchanges for copyrights for sunny days screenings in Germany.
At this time, I can't care about so much, so I'll make the movie first.
The two parties signed a contract, and Jiang Wen rushed to Berlin, Germany with the film.
In early June, Lin Zixuan saw Jiang Wen away at the airport and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He has been tormenting this film for more than a year, and now it is finally over.
After leaving the airport, he went to China TV to pick up Mu Shanshan.
The two of them did not go home, but went to the courtyard house in Shichahai first, walked through the long alley, and opened the gate.
Everyone in the yard moved away, leaving only an empty room, which gave people a quiet feeling compared to the bustle around.
We cannot live in here for the time being. They are old houses of some ages and are disrepaired. We need to find a construction team to reinforce and repair the houses and paint and renovate them.
It will take about a month, and next, you will have to buy furniture and equip daily necessities.
"I feel like we have become the former landlord class. If we hire a few more maids and workers to serve them all day, we will return to the old society." Mu Shanshan joked.
"Landlords don't work, they make a living by exploiting the working people. We earn it from our own hard work, and it's the income from labor." Lin Zixuan disagreed, "Besides, who is still paying attention to these things now? It's time to live a good life."
"Our dad praised you for your vision. In the future, more buildings will be built, and fewer courtyards will be demolished. Scarce is valuable. From this perspective, courtyards are more valuable than buildings." Mu Shanshan praised.
Mu Zhiyuan is a leader of the cultural department. He looks at the long term, unlike many people nowadays who are determined to demolition and live in new buildings.
The two of them walked around the yard casually, discussing the layout and planning of the yard. After all, they would live here for a long time, or even for a lifetime. It will not be continued.
