Those who want to go to the UK to watch the funeral are all girls or young people. Lin Xiaoling also brings a camera, which has become her habit. 81 Zhongwang

It's just a day or two and it won't delay the film festival.

After seeing off these people, Lin Zixuan met with Italian filmmaker Mark Muller to learn about the situation of the shortlisted movie.

"Lin, there are several movies that are very competitive this year, but "Spring in Small Town" is also very good. I think winning the award is not a problem, but the judges will decide what award they win." Mark Muller said.

The highest award at the Venice International Film Festival is the Golden Lion Award, the second most important is the Silver Lion Award, and the best actor and actress.

Since Lin Zixuan has come, of course he doesn't want to return empty-handed. Now he can only wait for the final award ceremony.

This is his second time to come to Venice. The last time he had a hurry, so he came prepared this time.

Although the film festival was affected by Diana's funeral, many film merchants from all over the world came. Lin Zixuan brought Yu Dong to communicate with these film merchants, promoted the film "Spring in a Small Town" and invited them to participate in the screening of the film.

This is the commercial side of films. You can’t say that you are an artist and don’t sell videos.

This time, the main purpose is to let the people of Haomeng Company understand how to film and how to communicate with foreign film manufacturers. Don’t be afraid of talking to them. It doesn’t matter whether they succeed or not, it just needs to have this experience.

As for actors such as Director Chen and Wang Zhiwen, you can watch the movie or visit the scenery of Venice.

Zhang Guoli met Lin Zixuan with the film dealer. He had a business acumen and wanted to see what this process looked like and what aspects needed to be paid attention to. Maybe it could be used in the future.

He filmed TV series in the country, directed and acted by himself, and worked hard, but the rewards he received in the end were not as much as the investors earned.

Zhang Guoli was also cheated by investors. How to say that at this time, the domestic producers in the entertainment industry implemented a contract system.

The producer contracts a TV series, and the investment chamber stipulates an amount. After approval, the money will be handed over to the producer for management.

After filming this amount, the producer has to pay for it himself. With the balance, the money is the producer's own.

Zhang Guoli has never been a producer before and thinks that this condition is OK. Everyone is like this. Besides, if you become a producer, you can control the crew and shoot the films you want to shoot.

As a result, the budget for that drama was not well controlled, so he had to pay his own pay.

The investor made a lot of money, but he didn't make a penny.

This is a rare lesson. You will not make such mistakes when filming in the future.

Zhang Guoli wanted to start a company and invest in filming. He believed that the films he made with his own influence would definitely be able to go out, but there would always be profits and losses when filming films and TV dramas.

There are so many film and television companies in Beijing, but in his opinion, only Haomeng Company has never lost money.

This contains the contributions of Feng Xiaogang and Ge You. The New Year films made by the two have a large box office, which is the basis for Haomeng Company's profitability.

However, Zhang Guoli knew that Lin Zixuan was supporting him. It can be said that Lin Zixuan is the core of Haomeng Company, so he wanted to learn how Lin Zixuan operated it.

"This is like in China, it's all bargaining." Zhang Guoli said after sending away the film dealer.

"The same is different. The same is negotiating, and the different is the rules." Lin Zixuan explained, "We are in China, we follow our rules. When we come here, we must follow their rules."

"I was so dizzy when I heard this. We lacked people who were familiar with their rules." Zhang Guoli agreed.

"Don't Brother Zhang want to open a company? How are you doing?" Lin Zixuan asked.

Zhang Guoli discussed this matter with Lin Zixuan. He is different from actors like Director Chen. In the entertainment industry, Zhang Guoli is easy-going and has a good relationship with people, so she doesn't easily offend others.

His acting skills are good, but he is not the kind of person who is devoted to acting and wants to become an artist.

Zhang Guoli has been involved in multiple roles such as directors, producers and investors, and is always trying.

It can be said that he is not a sedative person. He has made some money in recent years and is unwilling to make money for those investors. He wants to have a more equal way of cooperation.

So he wanted to open a film and television company by himself.

With the lesson from last time, he no longer became a producer, but instead handed over the position of producer to his lover.

His lover is Deng Jie, who is a serious and organized woman.

This kind of business model of husband-and-wife stores is not uncommon in the domestic entertainment industry. Two people understand and trust each other and are easy to communicate.

"I've been prepared almost. I'll try investing in a drama next year. Xiaolin, you have to give me some advice. I'll see if you shoot spy war dramas. Will this type of drama become popular in the future?" Zhang Guoli said curiously.

"I can't be sure for the time being. Let's shoot one to see the audience's reaction. Brother Zhang, what if you want to be insured, or do you want to film a historical drama? With your influence, the ratings are guaranteed." Lin Zixuan persuaded.

This is the truth. Lin Zixuan was not sure that he would be popular when filming "The Hidden" at this time.

However, he believes that as long as it is a good drama, the audience should accept that "Luxing" has been tested by time.

"I think so too. Now I have a script about ancient lawyers. I think it's good. If you go back, you can help me check it. If you say ok, I can rest assured." Zhang Guoli asked.

"Brother Zhang, don't praise me like this. I don't have that much ability. It's all our own business." Lin Zixuan said politely.

They stayed in Venice for two days, and when the "Spring of the Small Town" was screened, according to the organizer's regulations, the videos shortlisted for the main competition unit could be screened several more.

With the preparations two days ago, in addition to local audiences, there are also many film merchants who come to watch the video.

Mark Muller used his influence to bring some journalists and local Italian film critics to promote "Spring in Small Town" and increase the popularity of the film.

Lin Zixuan and the actors stood at the door and welcomed their arrival.

"Lin, these are all art film lovers, and they will definitely like this movie." Mark Muller

Lin Zixuan made some polite words with them, but it would be useless to say too much. He had no friendship with these people, so he still had to watch the quality of the movie.

When time came, only half of the audience came to the screening room. Today was Diana's funeral. Obviously everyone was watching the grand funeral in front of the TV.

In the past two days, Lin Zixuan has seen other videos, and this is basically the case, and the attendance rate is not high.

The film began to be screened, and Yu Feihong walked on the dilapidated city wall and walked towards the audience.

Lin Zixuan paid attention to the audience's reactions to see if they were attracted by the film and whether this implicit emotional story in the East could resonate with Western audiences. (To be continued.)
