The Tokyo International Film Festival hosts the venue in Shibuya district of Tokyo, which is an entertainment and shopping center.

Lin Zixuan and his group arranged accommodation, and then he met with the fields. The fields came a few days earlier than them. He was one of the judges of this film festival, and the food and accommodation were arranged by the film festival organizing committee.

This is one of the reasons why Lin Zixuan is looking forward to winning the award in "The Two of Us".

The judges of each country will prefer the films of their own country. As long as the quality of the films is not bad, they must try their best to achieve them.

"The Two of Us" has three nominations, and the highest award and best director are unlikely to win the award, so you can only strive for the best actress.

Neither the American Oscars nor the French Cannes Film Festival, there is no absolute fairness. If the chairman of this jury is a Chinese, the chances of Chinese films winning awards will increase.

People in the circle know what they think, and only the media will talk about topics of "unpopularity" and "unfairness" afterwards.

Tian Zhixiao talked about the situation of the film festival.

This time, another domestic film was shortlisted for the main competition unit, which tells the story of a face-changing artist in Sichuan opera. It is a co-production film with Xiangjiang, which is very artistic.

Fortunately, this film competes for Best Director and Best Actor, and there is no conflict with Best Actress in "The Two of Us".

The second is how to sell the copyright of the film, and then discuss this after the movie can win the award.

The Tokyo International Film Festival has a considerable influence in Asia and can also attract film merchants from all over the world. However, there will be no big buyers interested, after all, the level is still a bit bad.

Lin Zixuan is here to travel, so it is a matter of course to participate in the film festival.

The next day, he and Mu Shanshan came to a bookstore called Oriental Bookstore, located in Kanda Kanbocho, Tokyo.

Because there are many bookstores and publishing houses here, they are also called Bookstore Street.

Oriental Bookstore is slightly different from it because it houses many books related to China. Although this bookstore, founded in 1951, is not large in scale, but is known for publishing and selling Chinese books.

It mainly includes books in the humanities and social sciences fields such as literature, history, and philosophy.

The sales targets of bookstores are mainly from universities, specialized libraries and professional researchers in Japan.

Lin Zixuan came to this bookstore because the Japanese version of "Living" was published by this bookstore. The translation work has been completed and Oriental Bookstore is preparing to be launched on sale next year.

Moreover, the Italian and Korean versions of "Living" will be published one after another.

This novel has brought Lin Zixuan a considerable reputation abroad. He is regarded as a famous writer in China. In fact, his position in China is a bit embarrassing.

People from abroad were not aware of these things, and the manager of Oriental Bookstore, Masashi Yamada came forward to greet Lin Zixuan.

The two chatted through the translation, which was nothing more than some admiration and their views on the relationship between the two countries, and they had a very common conversation.

In the mid-1990s, Japan's economy fell into a long-term downturn, the aging problem of Japanese society became increasingly serious, the number of college students in school decreased significantly, and the overall book industry entered the dilemma of sales, market shrinking, and weak business, let alone niche Chinese books.

In this case, Oriental Bookstore insists on publishing Chinese books, which is commendable.

It can be predicted that the sales of "Alive" in Japan are not optimistic.

Lin Zixuan didn't care much. He didn't rely on royalties to live, so it would be best to be able to sell it, and it doesn't matter if he couldn't.

"Will Mr. Lin have a masterpiece come out soon?" At the end of the conversation, Masashi Yamada asked.

"Are you interested in fairy tales in your bookstore?" Lin Zixuan responded.

"Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" has received a good response in China. It likes it from kindergarten children to high school students, and even parents from some families are interested. The readers have a large age range.

The sales of "Literary and Art Boy" magazine increased greatly, and they took the initiative to adjust Lin Zixuan's royalties and increase publicity efforts.

A Children's Publishing House is preparing to publish "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" next year. Lin Zixuan signed a contract with the Publishing House and received 10% of the royalties.

This is related to the lack of domestic children's book market, and it is difficult for children to read an interesting story.

After hearing what Yamada Masashi said, he thought it was a childish fairy tale, so he lost interest.

He invited Lin Zixuan to write a preface for the Japanese version of "Living" and introduce the creation process of the book. Lin Zixuan agreed and would hand it over to Oriental Bookstore before leaving Japan.

The two sides said goodbye and left.

Walking on the bookstore street and looking at the various bookstores around, Mu Shanshan was a little unhappy.

"That Yamada doesn't like "Xiao Xue's Big Adventure" and he regrets it in the future." Lin Zixuan understood after thinking about it and persuaded him, "When this story is popular all over the world, he will know what a good opportunity he has lost."

"It's not as good as you said, and it's a best-seller all over the world. Give yourself a gold on your face." Mu Shanshan said, "It's good to be popular in China. I read the letters and gave a lot of opinions. You have to keep working hard."

The magazine "Literary and Art Boy" has sent many letters to them, most of which are written by children.

Mu Shanshan likes to read those letters. Whenever she encounters letters praising Xiaoxue, she will leave them and write them down if she has any suggestions.

The children also have many wonderful ideas. They come up with many strange plots and their ideas are more powerful than the other. I guess they often practice it on other children.

Lin Zixuan was surprised to see it, and Mu Shanshan thought it was good and could be used in future stories.

Even if it is not used, it can be saved. Every letter is the innocence of a child.

"Stop adding plots to the inside, I'm afraid it will be troublesome if I don't come back." Lin Zixuan opposed.

Lin Zixuan found that adaptation was a very laborious job. If various strange plots were added, it was basically difficult to tell the story smoothly. Fortunately, it was a fairy tale, and some unreasonable parts were pushed into the magic world.

In the magical world, nothing is possible.

"You are not very genius, you are stumped by this little thing." Mu Shanshan teased,

Lin Zixuan had to admit defeat. No one around knew them on the streets of a foreign country, and this feeling was very relaxed.

This does not mean that living in the capital requires one's own identities, but that they have their own identities in the capital, which determines their behavior and cannot be surpassed.

In this strange place, they can put down their original identities and chase and fight on the street without caring about other people's eyes.

This may be the purpose of traveling, let go of everything and be your true self. (To be continued.)
