Students in school often have ideals and passionateness, and do not care about too much interest gains and losses.

Everyone raised money to shoot this short film, but didn't think about what profits they would get. At least from the current situation, the film "Going Home to the Hill" does not have any potential to make money.

They thought the script was good and very artistic, so they made it.

The film school has a tradition in this area. Everyone has heard many similar stories. Their predecessors also did many ridiculous deeds to make movies during their school days.

These deeds have become legends with the popularity of those people and are still talked about.

At the same time, this is inseparable from Jia Zhangke's own ability. If you want others to support you, you can't just shout a few times.

You need to have a good popularity so that everyone can believe in you, and even if you don’t have money, you are willing to work with you, or even pay for it to sponsor you. It is not easy to achieve this level.

This is a personal charm.

Jia Zhangke undoubtedly has this ability, so he brought a group of people to prepare to shoot his first film.

Lin Xiaoling knew about this and took out five hundred yuan to express her feelings.

The Beijing Youth Film Studio invested in the filming of "The Two of Us", so she didn't have to worry about the funding issue. She told Lin Zixuan about Jia Zhangke, which was quite emotional.

"It's not easy for Lao Jia. That book is good, it's just too dark." Lin Xiaoling said.

Jia Zhangke entered the film academy after taking the exam for three years. He was generally older than the students of the same class in the school, so everyone called him Lao Jia. This is also because he has been in society and has a relatively steady approach.

"No one is easy. Take Brother Jiang for example. Don't think he looks like that now. When he was out of money, he didn't drink with those big money for investment." Lin Zixuan gave an example.

In the entertainment industry, looking glamorous, many people actually have the experience of hard work at the bottom, and it will be fine if they can make it through.

Jia Zhangke has no connections or relationships, so he can only rely on his classmates and use crowdfunding to obtain the first shooting fund.

"Think about the current society, people squander at will, and some want to do something but have no money." Lin Xiaoling complained.

"This way, tell him that if you lack funds, you can come to me." Lin Zixuan thought for a while and said this.

It is not difficult for Lin Zixuan to take out tens of thousands of yuan. He doesn't have to help Jia Zhangke, but it depends on what Jia Zhangke himself means. If Jia Zhangke is willing to accept it, he doesn't mind stretching out his hand, which is considered an investment.

If Jia Zhangke thinks he can do it, then forget it, there is no need to force it, the choice is in the hands of Jia Zhangke.

Lin Xiaoling told Jia Zhangke Lin Zixuan's words, and Jia Zhangke fell into deep thought.

He was a little embarrassed and didn't want to owe favors. It was easy for the classmates to say that everyone was in a similar mood.

He had met Lin Zixuan several times, but had never had a deep conversation, and his friendship was not deep.

In fact, it is very common to attract investment in the film and television industry. As a director, this is a compulsory course for the entry. This is not a matter of face, but a business.

You sell your ideas and ideas, get investments, make products, make profits, and give back to investors.

If you think so, you won't feel embarrassed.

Although Jia Zhangke has been in society, he is still a little reserved. However, he really wants to shoot "Going Home to the Hill". If he can have sufficient financial support, it will not be so difficult.

He thought about it all night and finally decided to use the script to find Lin Zixuan and invest like a real filmmaker.

Lin Zixuan read the script and it was similar to what Lin Xiaoling said. The plot of "Going Home to the Hill" is very heavy, but the form is very novel. There are many newspaper reports and TV news, as well as various pop songs.

It adopts the form of a pseudo-documentary, giving people a very real feeling.

It used this shooting method to record the appearance and status of the capital this year.

There is a plot in which Wang Xiaoshan went to the train station to buy tickets. The train station was lined up. He found a fellow villager who was a ticket seller. The two of them were wandering around at various train stations, but they still couldn't get the ticket to go home.

With the rise of the working wave, the number of migrant population has increased year by year, and the "Spring Festival travel rush" has become the focus of the media.

"This script is very interesting. How much money do you need?" Lin Zixuan asked directly.

This short film is destined not to be screened in the theater, it can only be an underground movie, or a student's work, and investment cannot be rewarded. Lin Zixuan is very clear about this.

Just as Wen Jun told investors in Xiangjiang, we invested in Jiang Wen, not the video.

Lin Zixuan invested in Jia Zhangke, not this short film.

"Thirty thousand yuan." Jia Zhangke replied.

He originally wanted to say that it was 50,000 yuan, but if it had 50,000 yuan, it would be relatively sufficient and would not be so tight when filming. At this time, Jia Zhangke did not have so much experience in film operation.

"Then it's 30,000 yuan. I'll provide you with shooting equipment. You can use the company's editing room, so you don't have to worry about post-production." Lin Zixuan explained.

This will save another amount of money, 30,000 yuan is enough.

"Thank you, Brother Lin, are you the producer of this film?" Jia Zhangke invited.

"No need, you guys can do it yourself, just shoot according to your own ideas." Lin Zixuan declined, "When you graduate in the future and really make movies, with producers and producers, it will be difficult to make your favorite movies."

This is the truth. Even Zhang Yimou will be restricted by investors and has no absolute creative freedom.

The two chatted for a while, and Lin Zixuan sent Jia Zhangke away.

This is a small investment, and he didn't take it seriously. He was more concerned about the shooting situation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", or the situation of Director Chen on the crew.

Regarding Director Chen, Feng Xiaogang once said that Director Chen is a person who is so noble that he is willing to bow his head in the play.

In other words, Daoming Chen gives people the feeling that it is difficult to get along with in life. He doesn’t like to admit his mistakes and would rather suffer losses than bow his head. He doesn’t give others face, speaks directly and leaves no room for anything.

The reason why he was willing to take on this drama was that he fell in love with the character Li Mubai.

Chen Daoming felt that Li Mubai's inner entanglement and helplessness were very interesting. Unlike the previous knights, he was a person bound by traditional morality and more like a Confucian believer.

He struggled in love and life, but could not be liberated, and hesitated between being born and entering the world.

Li Mubai wanted to live in seclusion and be a free and easy hermit, but the pressure of reality was overwhelming, and he had to surrender to life and continue to survive in the light of swords and swords.

Lin Zixuan is not worried about Director Chen’s acting skills. What he is worried about is whether Director Chen can integrate into the crew. (To be continued.)
