Chapter 238 Practical
In mid-September, Beijing International Airport.
As soon as Lin Zixuan and Jiang Wen left the airport passage, they saw several reporters surrounding him. He stopped and landed behind.
At this time, Jiang Wen was the protagonist.
Although she won only one Best Actor in the sunny days, Xia Yu became the youngest actor in Venice.
Domestic media are particularly interested in such records-breaking things. As soon as the news reached China, a reporter went to Qingdao to interview Xia Yu, who was in school.
Xia Yu is quite ignorant about this award and doesn't quite understand the importance of Venetian actors to him.
Think about it, Ge You had been a supporting actor for ten years before he won a Cannes actor. He won the Venetian actor in his first movie.
It is very difficult for Chinese actors to win the Best Actor at the three major European film festivals. This is basically the home court of Europeans, but in this year, two Best Actors were released.
Ge You, the actor who was banned from the screen because he was alive, had no way to promote it. Xia Yu was fine, which made the media very excited.
However, Xia Yu is just a student, but there is not much interview, so the media focused on the film's director Jiang Wen and asked about the story of the film before and after.
This is Jiang Wen’s first film directing. During the filming period, the crew went on strike. The filming was stopped many times due to lack of funds. It was not favored by others in the circle, and even believed that the film could not be completed at all.
It was under such harsh conditions that the movie was finished and he participated in the film festival and got back the youngest actor.
It sounds like an inspirational legendary story, and journalists have a lot of material to write.
Not only the reporters came to pick them up, but Xia Yu and some actors also came to the airport and delivered flowers.
Jiang Wen was familiar with this kind of scene. He took out the Venetian Actor's trophy from his suitcase and held it high with Xia Yu, allowing the reporters to take photos with them.
After meeting the reporter's request, they left the airport and left by bus.
"How is it like returning home with honor?" Lin Zixuan quipped.
"It's okay, it's not as good as I thought. There will definitely be various interviews next. We will invite the crew to have a meal tomorrow night, which is a celebration banquet. I'm afraid I'll be out of leisure this time." Jiang Wen replied, "Let's talk about the film company again."
"Let's talk about the funds when they come, and there's no rush." Lin Zixuan persuaded.
In 1994, there were more and more private film and television companies in Beijing. Sometimes a few people gathered together and registered a company, and they started filming film and television dramas when they found funds, which was extremely blind and chaotic.
Jiang Wen plans to open a film production company, mainly for his personal service, which is equivalent to a personal studio.
In fact, there is no such thing as a personal studio in China. A big director like Zhang Yimou does not belong to any film company. He is extremely free and has many things to do. He will have a group of people under his command to help him handle various affairs.
Some people write scripts, some people are responsible for watching the outdoor scenes, some people contact foreign investors, etc.
Some of these people are fixed, some are temporary, and they are making a living with Zhang Yimou.
Jiang Wen wanted to set up a company like this, find a group of acquaintances to form his own team, and someone to help him, so that he would not be so chaotic and busy in the future.
This success gave him great confidence. The sunny days sold well. When he had the funds, he wanted to be the master of his own home, take the initiative, and shoot the films he wanted to shoot.
When it comes to making movies, Jiang Wen is a person with strong control.
He wanted to build his own team according to the model of Haomeng Company, which is something he wanted to discuss with Lin Zixuan.
Lin Zixuan and Jiang Wen said goodbye and returned home.
The film school started, Lin Xiaoling moved to school, and Mu Shanshan was working, there was no one at home, and the yard was a little empty.
He called Mu Shanshan first and told her that she was back and reassured her.
Then he sorted out his luggage, made a cup of tea, and sat on the sofa to rest. He looked through several newspapers ordered at home to see what news has been happening in China recently.
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the founding of China, and the Fourth Plenary Session of the 14th Central Committee will be held.
This is a very important meeting, and it is a meeting where the second generation of Chinese leaders won excessive victory over the third generation of leaders.
Lin Zixuan saw Zhang Yimou's evaluation of the sunny days in the entertainment version.
At this time, Zhang Yimou was filming a new film in Shanghai. This was not the result of a reporter's interview, but the news circulated from the crew.
The day before yesterday, Zhang Yimou and a group of people in the crew went out for midnight to have midnight snacks. Staying up late to film is very normal for the crew, and the work and schedule of the film crew is not very regular.
The domestic film industry already knows the news that the award will be won on sunny days, and everyone can't help but talk.
"I like this movie, first of all, this movie is very passionate." Zhang Yimou commented.
"I don't like it." said Wang Bin, the literary planner next to him.
This is the person who has a big disagreement with Lin Zixuan while preparing to film the filming.
The so-called literary planning is not a screenwriter, but a person who helps in-depth processing of the language and artistic nature of the script.
Wang Bin turned out to be a writer, but he didn't make a name for himself in the writer's circle, so he found an opportunity to enter the film industry and follow Zhang Yi to make a living. What he is best at is changing other people's novels beyond recognition.
"It's really good. Jiang Wen is very familiar with drama. In terms of handling some shots, many old directors often find it difficult to control it." Zhang Yimou continued, "Other point, this film is very personal, and passion and personality are very important."
After reading Zhang Yimou's comments, Lin Zixuan knew that their group of art movies were all the same.
Feng Xiaogang will not pursue passion and personality. He pursues the market and the satisfaction of the audience.
Most of the newspapers are praised for Jiang Wen and Xia Yu, and even the heroine Ning Jing has become popular, but the real people in the movie circle are watching behind the scenes.
Some people say that Zhang Yimou made Ge You famous, and Jiang Wen pushed Xia Yu to the throne of the best actor in the Venice Film Festival, but if you study it carefully, you will find that living and sunny days have one thing in common.
That is, Lin Zixuan is involved.
It is these two films that have produced two European film heroes. They have never been before, and it may be difficult to reproduce in the future.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, Lin Zixuan got up and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
When Mu Shanshan came back from get off work, she heard the noise in the kitchen and leaned against the door and watched Lin Zixuan busy. The two of them hadn't met for seven or eight days, so they didn't miss it very much.
These days, she lives alone in the huge yard and always feels empty and uneasy.
She wanted to call her mother over to live with her, but she felt a little ridiculous. Now she is ready and feels at ease. To be continued.
