Chapter 305 Busy and Leisure
Huaying Company transferred the box office revenue of "Seeking Away" to the account of Haomeng Company. Lin Zixuan first distributed everyone's dividends and kept the remaining funds for the new film.
Some funds are also used to run restaurants.
The restaurant called "Seeking Away" is being renovated. They didn't ask professionals to design it, but they followed the style of the old Beijing restaurant, which looked a bit friendly.
One of the private rooms is left for them and is not open to the public.
Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan live nearby. They will go over and take a look when they have time to help the staff.
Since Shichahai was designated as a historic scenic spot in the capital in 1992, it has taken the path of leisure tourism. The catering industry has gained the opportunity for rapid development, and the surrounding restaurants and wine have gradually increased.
The wine here is different from Sanlitun. The area in the embassy area attracted many foreigners. Those who want to hook up with foreigners go there.
Shichahai, a land area mainly composed of college students and locals in the capital, is a gathering place for young artists with petty bourgeoisie.
The restaurant invited local chefs from Beijing to take charge, and with the appeal of a number of celebrities, the business would be good.
The decoration is coming to an end and will open at the end of April. Mu Shanshan and Sister He are chatting.
Sister He originally taught art at school and was interested in painting. She often visited art galleries. She thought that hanging a few ink paintings in the restaurant should be very stylish, and not just hanging photos of celebrities. It is too tacky.
I think she was a standard young artist when she was young.
Ge You agreed with this, believing that the old restaurant and ink painting are just right, and it is probably the same at home.
After lunch, Sister He cooked and had a good craftsmanship.
On this bright afternoon, I invited a few friends to make tea and chat, which was also very good.
"Xiaogang is not good, he is a busy man." Ge You said happily.
The Beijing College Student Film Festival has opened in the past two days. Feng Xiaogang is about to attend the event. He is a member of the China Film Directors Association or a small cadre in it.
Lin Zixuan and Ge You are also members of the Film Association, one is the Screenwriter Association and the other is the Actors Association.
However, the two of them were not very active in the association's activities and did not expect to get a job in the association.
Feng Xiaogang was a little more enthusiastic. He liked the lively scenes and was willing to contribute his strength to the organization. It seemed like he was a warm-hearted person, but in fact he had his own little thoughts.
He felt that even if he could not get the recognition of film experts and film critics, as long as he could get to the top management of the Directors Association, he could still stand out in this industry and be respected.
Zhang Yimou has been at the level of vice president of the Directors Association, so he can't be too backward.
Of course, he generally does not admit that he has such a little thought, and it is just about striving for the film industry in China.
Especially at the College Student Film Festival, he has to participate, because the films he made are the most popular among college students. If he can win the award, it is the most likely to be at the College Student Film Festival.
"Maybe this college student film festival can also award Brother Feng a Best Director Award." Lin Zixuan joked.
"It's hard to say. Nowadays, there are more and more film festivals, and there are a variety of awards, which is not as pure as before." Ge You said cautiously.
The Beijing College Student Film Festival was founded in 1993. It uses the preferences of college students as the criteria for judging, focusing on youthfulness and fashion, and is more like a entertainment activity.
Within the Chinese film industry, the Golden Bull Award is the most formal and professional, and the College Student Film Festival is a useful supplement.
"Brother You, you have to relax your mind. Judging from the current situation, you will enter an entertainment era in the future. We used to do nothing to promote the movies, but now we have to find ways to promote the business. This circle is not that pure." Lin Zixuan reminded.
"No matter how much entertainment is, movies are still an art. I just need to shoot the movies well, and you will be in charge of the rest." Ge You said happily.
It’s right to think so. Movies always have to look at the quality, which is the most fundamental thing.
In the evening, Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan went home and talked about something.
Xiangjiang's Phoenix TV started broadcasting the middle platform at the end of March and was broadcast to Chinese people around the world. Phoenix TV knew that Mu Shanshan would not go to work in Xiangjiang, so they wanted to work with Mu Shanshan on a program.
There are several reasons here, the most important reason is that the chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix TV graduated from Beijing Radio College.
He wants to use the host who graduated from the Broadcasting Academy.
Mu Shanshan has a very outstanding career resume. She has hosted influential programs on Chinese TV stations. She has a high reputation in China and has also experienced further study in the United States.
Her perspective and perspective on issues are more open, and she is suitable for a program facing Chinese people around the world.
In recent years, the TV industry has developed rapidly, and the lives of ordinary people are increasingly inseparable from TV.
The people learn about various information from TV, including national events and whether it will rain tomorrow, and countless advertisements.
"They mean to work with me on a program about domestic people, mainly to introduce the living conditions of domestic people." Mu Shanshan said, "They will support funds, and I am responsible for the director of the program."
"This is a good thing. Why don't they cooperate with China TV?" Lin Zixuan asked.
"They want a more folk attitude and photograph the people's more realistic life state." Mu Shanshan explained.
"Then you can shoot a travel program, let reporters go to the country to interview, and show the different customs and local diets through personal experience." Lin Zixuan suggested, "Our country is so big, it's okay to have an episode in one place, and it's okay to have thousands of episodes."
With the improvement of the living standards of the people in China and the increase in holidays, tourism has gradually become a hot topic.
At present, people's travel destinations tend to be large cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai.
But China is vast and there are too many places to travel. A program introducing beautiful scenery and food can broaden the horizons and increase knowledge. Chinese people overseas can also appreciate the beauty of China's people and nature.
"What they want is probably the documentary form. I'm still talking about it now. I will give them a few program plans to see what they mean." Mu Shanshan said calmly.
For Mu Shanshan, there is no rush to have a new program.
"Shanshan Interview" has just gotten on track and has achieved good ratings on Shanghai City TV. It is the time to be stable. However, Phoenix TV is broadcast overseas and has a greater influence overseas.
If we can reach a cooperation with Phoenix TV and with financial support, it would be fine to do one more program.
"Documentary films are no longer available. In the future, TV programs will still focus on entertainment. What singing competitions and talent shows can be participated by the whole people. This is the new trend of TV programs." Lin Zixuan said. (To be continued.)
