It is common to modify scripts when making movies. No director will make movies completely according to the script.

During the filming process, various problems may be encountered, such as the actor was injured, the outdoor scene was destroyed, the weather was not coordinated, the funds were insufficient, etc. The director needs to make temporary adjustments and adapt to the situation.

As long as the whole story is not overturned and started over again, the general plot direction can be guaranteed.

In the circle, big directors often like to modify scripts, which can prove their creative ability.

Lin Zixuan has worked with many directors and has no objection to revising the script. As long as it is reasonable, it cannot be modified randomly.

The national implementation of the director-centered system, and a drama should be dominated by the director. Since Lin Xiaoling wants to connect the prisoner's return home with the New Year, she needs to adjust the shooting plan.

Let’s take the plot of 1997 first, take advantage of the two months of the Chinese New Year, and then shoot the story of 1980 later.

In other words, Lin Xiaoling has been having a bad year.

This is the case in the entertainment industry. No matter how you film, everything is for the plot.

Fortunately, this film was filmed in Beijing, so it is convenient to go home, otherwise Zheng Xiulian should have an objection again. Parents are more worried, not really wanting to argue.

As the end of the year approaches, ordinary people are preparing for the New Year and film companies will settle the profits for one year.

This year's New Year holiday competition is fierce, with five Beijing-style comedy only released at the same time. The audience was happy to watch it, but the box office of the film was distributed, basically around 10 million.

For low-cost comedy films, film companies still make money, but they are not as much as they imagined.

"The Foreign Wife and Local Cosmother" achieved a box office of 12 million in Guangdong Province, while the rest of the country has less than 5 million, ranking among the top in this batch of New Year films.

The investment in the film is only two million. Calculated, Chen Changle made about four million, and Haomeng Company made one and five million.

This is a pretty cost-effective investment.

With this successful operation experience, I guess Chen Changle will not cooperate with Haomeng Company in the next movie.

This is human nature, and people and interests should be clearly distinguished in business.

If Lin Zixuan felt that he had helped Chen Changle once and would have to pay profits for each video in the future, he would probably not even have friends and would turn against each other.

Such examples abound in the mall.

After the release of "Foreign Daughter-in-law and Local Son-in-law", Chen Changle first held a celebration banquet in Huacheng, and then went to Beijing to host Lin Zixuan and the employees of Haomeng Company at the Beijing Hotel.

He also sent red envelopes to the employees of Good Dream Company who participated in the production of the movie, but he never mentioned the sequel from beginning to end.

This shows that Chen Changle will be able to be a human being, and there may be some places to rely on Lin Zixuan in the future, so this relationship needs to be maintained.

Lin Zixuan also wants to have a partner in the south to prepare for entering the film market in the south. The cooperation between the two parties can bring benefits, which has a foundation for cooperation.

After dinner, the two of them drank tea and talked about the past.

"Brother Lin, your stall is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't catch up. As long as you can do the things you are doing well now," Chen Changle sighed, "Think about a few years ago, we were filming the "Foreign Girl" in Huacheng with only a few hundred thousand investments. The world has changed so quickly."

This year, Haomeng Company has become the focus of the entertainment industry many times.

"Spring in a Small Town" won the Golden Lion Award. Haomeng Company is preparing to work with Li An to shoot a film, and Feng Xiaogang's new film will be released soon.

Chen Changle could feel that Lin Zixuan was no longer on the same level as him. He envied Lin Zixuan, and at the same time, he was very practical and wanted to grasp what he had in his hands.

The series "Foreign Daughter-in-Land Cosmother" can help him eat and drink for the rest of his life. As for winning awards abroad and working with Hollywood, it is not in his plan at all.

Lin Zixuan looked at Chen Changle with a lot of thoughts.

Chen Changle is a shrewd businessman who has his own method in the mall, otherwise he would not have achieved his current success.

But like most businessmen in China, they don’t think long-term enough and only care about the present.

If Lin Zixuan cannot see future development prospects, he may be as satisfied with everything he has now, just like Chen Changle.

However, the world develops too fast and if it does not move forward, it will soon be eliminated by society.

After seeing off Chen Changle, Lin Zixuan returned to Good Dream Company.

By the end of the year, the company will conduct an inventory. To be honest, Haomeng Company has not made much profit this year, mainly because many projects have not yet reached the time to gain.

"A Sigh" has not been released, and this film is roughly estimated to bring more than four million yuan in revenue.

"Spring in a Small Town" sold its overseas copyright and earned about one million yuan.

The two TV series "Putting Love to the End" and "Luxing" may have more income next year.

These films and TV dramas can probably bring tens of millions of net profit to Haomeng Company. Many of the profits must be calculated next year. Haomeng Company will only have about two million profits this year, which is the lowest profit in recent years.

Since he has not made any money, Lin Zixuan does not plan to hold a celebration banquet at the end of the year.

He would invite the company's employees to have a meal together. This time there are no outsiders, only the company's own people. At present, Haomeng Company has hundreds of employees and has begun to take shape.

Good Dream Company has been very high-profile this year, and now it is going to be more low-key.

This period is a time when other film and television companies are high-profile. Film and television companies that make money during the New Year holiday have held celebration banquets, which is the focus of recent entertainment media reports.

The media believes that this is a sign that domestic films have escaped from the trough and are heading towards prosperity.

The fact that several films can earn tens of millions of yuan in box office shows that the audience recognizes this movie model.

We cannot make such high-investment commercial blockbusters, but this down-to-earth low-cost comedy film may be a way out. The media optimistically stated that domestic movies have found a new direction.

At the same time, in North America, the box office of "Titanic" is constantly rising with an unusually stable trend.

The box office of "Titanic" was not ideal at the beginning of its release. The cumulative box office of three days on the weekend was only 27 million US dollars, far less than the box office results of other blockbusters released in the same period.

This is by no means good news for a film that invests more than $200 million.

Everyone was waiting to see Cameron's jokes, and even Cameron himself was prepared for the worst.

But week after week, the box office of "Titanic" not only did not fall, but instead rose against the trend, drawing an incredible curve.

Generally speaking, a movie has the highest box office in the first week and will gradually decline in the future. This is the rule of the film industry.

The so-called miracle is to break the general rules. One month after its release, the weekly box office of "Titanic" did not drop, which surprised the financiers in Hollywood and Wall Street.

They wouldn't have thought that this box office miracle had just begun. (To be continued.)
