Chapter 246 Contribution

On the side of the Third Ring Road in Beijing, there are various dense buildings. In a family building, there is a small building with white walls and red roofs. [Web [(

From the outside, I can't figure out what this small building is for. There is no sign or anyone entering and leaving. It seems very mysterious. Only when I walk in can I find out that it is a film company.

This is the office location that Jiang Wen found for his film company. The company's name is Sunshine Production Company.

At present, the company's information has just been submitted, and the business license of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau has not yet been approved. It cannot be opened here yet, but the renovation has begun.

"I'm going to build a screening room here. It's the luxury one, it can't be too cold." Jiang Wen pointed to a large room and introduced, "There's the editing room over there. I'm having enough of that kind of hand-crank machine. I want to buy a new one from Germany."

"Brother Jiang, your comparison is very serious. It seems that it comes according to Director Zhang's layout." Lin Zixuan teased.

Zhang Yimou has his own studio in the suburbs of Beijing, which contains various equipment for filming movies.

Among film directors in mainland China, it is considered a luxury, so he deserves his identity as an international director.

Jiang Wen obviously had a long time of jealousy. This time he had the opportunity to own his own studio, he would definitely be better than Zhang Yimou's.

He felt that this was a necessary equipment for a director. If there were these things in the past, he wouldn't have to go to Berlin and Tokyo for post-production.

His experience in filming "Sunny Days" gave him a sense of crisis and always felt that everything should be his own.

"How can this be a comparison? If a director does not have this set of equipment, it will be more inconvenient to work." Jiang Wen defended, "For example, if a foreign investor comes to a foreign investor and looks at these equipment, people will think that we are professional and investment will be much more refreshing. This is the storefront."

"The shooting equipment in this building alone can't be taken down if there are millions of dollars," Lin Zixuan estimated.

"Isn't it just to make money for spending? Your Haomeng Company is just too stingy and doesn't even have a decent screening room. How can investors have confidence in you?" Jiang Wen retorted.

Lin Zixuan thought about it and it was true that Haomeng Company is still an empty air, and the post-production of "Party A and Party B" was used in the editing room of the Beijing Film Studio.

It’s not that they don’t want to buy equipment, but they are used to being thrifty.

Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang started out in filming TV series. They had little money to shoot TV series, and they could not be as luxurious as filming movies, and they needed to be careful. Just like when filming "The People in Beijing in New York", they even went to the garbage dump to pick up props.

Their principle is to use other people's things and not pay for it alone.

This fine tradition cannot be lost, but it also needs to be more generous, otherwise there will be no atmosphere for a film company.

Jiang Wen is used to spending money, so he uses it if he has money, and looks for money everywhere if he has no money. He lives a good life now.

It can only be said that each person has different personalities, or his own way of living.

Jiang Wen considers the problem from the perspective of the director, while Lin Zixuan thinks from the perspective of the producer and the boss.

The two of them walked around the building, and Jiang Wen talked about his plan and said that this place would become the starting base for his movies.

"What are you taking next time? Do you have any ideas?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"That French film agency called and our films sold well in Europe. They wanted to invest in my new movies. I haven't figured out what theme to shoot yet." Jiang Wen hesitated.

This is how this circle is, very realistic.

When you are not famous, you ask others to invest. When you have fame, you will come to invest. Jiang Wen has proved his directorial ability, so naturally someone will be willing to invest.

"Okay, Brother Jiang, think about it slowly, I have something to do." Lin Zixuan said and was about to leave.

He came here to take a look today and recognized the way. He was different from Jiang Wen, and there were many things.

"Have you finished writing your martial arts? Give me a copy of the manuscript. I will find inspiration and maybe I will think of what to shoot." Jiang Wen asked.

Although Jiang Wen has no interest in martial arts films, he believes in Lin Zixuan's writing ability, and maybe he will feel it.

"I have sent it to the magazine. I'll get a magazine for you when it is published." Lin Zixuan responded.

He doesn't need to finish writing all "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and then send it to the magazine. He just needs to write tens of thousands of words and add an outline.

Although magazine serialization is stricter than newspapers, it does not require too many rigid requirements for the author. As long as the quality of the article does not decrease, it is easy to negotiate in terms of word count.

In this era, the author's status is not low, especially writers like Lin Zixuan who have some fame.

At the end of October, the magazine "Legend of Ancient and Modern" received a manuscript. When the editor opened it, it was a martial arts article with only two chapters, and an explanation was attached.

The description introduces that this martial arts is a long story. If it is popular with readers, it will also write a prequel and a posthumous copy.

The editor thinks this person is a bit ambitious, and yours may not be published in the magazine. He just thinks of the prequel and the post-trib, which is a bit ridiculous, but when he read the author's self-introduction below, he doesn't think it's ridiculous.

Lin Zixuan wrote about what he wrote before, but although he didn't have much, he was all famous.

"The Stubborn Lord" and "Living" have also been adapted into movies, especially "Living", and Zhang Yimou's name is still very useful.

The editor’s first idea was that someone would submit his articles as Lin Zixuan’s name. This is not the case.

Besides, most writers who write popular literature yearn to move closer to the circle of orthodox literature, while writers who write orthodox literature basically do not involve popular literature.

The editor then gave up on this idea because it was easy to verify, and the author also left his phone and pager.

Lin Zixuan is not interested in the scene of being rejected by a magazine and then slapped in the face.

What was originally easy to solve, why bother to do so? He used his real name not to show off, but to get the magazine to publish "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Fame is sometimes very useful, at least the magazine "Legend of Ancient and Modern" will not reject the article.

Mu Shanshan felt that Lin Zixuan would be better with a pseudonym this time, otherwise he would be scolded by those orthodox writers of literature.

They would think that Lin Zixuan is not doing his job properly and can't write martial arts that can't be on the table.

"I didn't care much about their thoughts at first. When I wrote "The Stubborn Lord", they said "The Stubborn Lord" and martial arts together as the four common people, which shows that I am just a popular one." Lin Zixuan said indifferently.

This is the truth. There is no need for people to care too much about those irrelevant people and things in this world. As long as they feel comfortable in their hearts. (To be continued.)8
