As many people are worried, Jiang Wen sent "Xu Sanguan's Blood Selling Record" to the General Administration, but the result was not ideal.

According to Zheng Dongtian, who participated in the review, the members of the film review committee were divided into two factions.

The school is mainly directed by directors and critics. They believe that the film is highly artistic and adds legendary colors to the real reflection of real life, which is extremely contagious.

Another faction is some film critics and people outside the circle, including writers, sociologists, historians, etc.

They feel that the film is suspected of distortion and ugliness, and is likely to have adverse social and international effects.

The director portrayed a blood-selling farmer as a savior, allowing the audience to see this society.

Officials of the General Administration agreed with this and handed over the opinions to Jiang Wen, asking him to modify them before submitting them to the review.

The successful publication of the novel "Xu Sanguan's Blood Selling" does not mean that the movie can pass the censorship. The novel is a literal description and is far less intuitive than the picture. These are two different art forms.

Moreover, from the perspective of communication, the influence of novels is far less than that of movies.

It is difficult for such pure literature novels to sell more than one million copies in China.

But once the movie is released, there may be millions of viewers. If it is still broadcast on TV, it will be even more unsatisfactory.

Taking the movie channel of China TV as an example, as long as a movie has a rating of 0.1%, it means that 1.2 million viewers have watched this movie.

The best viewership rate of the movie channel can reach 2%, which is equivalent to having 20 million TV viewers.

This is something that no novel can be compared, and it is difficult for 20 million readers to read "The Legend of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

Nowadays, fewer and fewer readers are reading pure literary novels, and film and television dramas have become the favorites of the audience.

Therefore, the current domestic censorship on books is far less stringent than film and television dramas, which is related to the scope of communication and influence.

Lin Zixuan did some work in advance and communicated with the General Administration, but it seemed that the effect was not good.

Jiang Wen was mentally prepared for this.

When he directed "Sunny Days", he deleted many wonderful clips in order to pass the review. He was always very sorry, but now he has encountered this situation again.

"How to change it? A bright ending made Ge You laugh, without such a tossing." Jiang Wen complained.

"Let's change it first, there is still time, this attitude must be there." Lin Zixuan persuaded, "If you really can't pass it, let's not worry about it. Anyway, this is not the first time in China, but you have to think about the consequences."

This year's Venice International Film Festival is held in early September, and Jiang Wen has more than half a month to modify the movie.

Regardless of whether you can pass the review in the end, your attitude must be in place, leaving each other with a leeway and room for maneuver.

in the country, there are many films that have been sent to international film festivals for exhibition without passing the review.

This is the case among the sixth generation directors, and many directors have been punished by the General Administration for this.

Write a check lightly, and then you will be fined. If the plot is serious, you will not be allowed to direct a movie within a few years.

At that time, Zhang Yimou wrote inspections and paid fines, and was said to have restricted his exit from the country, so he did not participate in the Cannes Film Festival. In fact, it was not that serious. Just wait until the limelight passed.

For Haomeng Company, which participated in the production, at most it would be a fine for some money, and the main punishment was the director.

"Isn't Zhang Yimou okay? This is the era, and I don't think it's a big problem." Jiang Wen said confidently.

"You can do it yourself. If the fine is fined, the company will help you pay it. Let's be low-key during this period and don't give those reporters a chance to talk nonsense." Lin Zixuan instructed.

The fine of the General Administration is just a form. It is willing to impose a problem, and it generally does not exceed 50,000 yuan.

The most worrying thing is the reporter, who are a group of people who don’t bother to watch the fun.

They could make trouble if they had nothing to do. Once it was a big deal, the General Administration would be more severe in order to serve as a warning.

Many sixth-generation directors are young and energetic. They will talk to reporters about these things and complain about them. They think that as long as the matter is made big, the General Administration may compromise under the pressure of public opinion and can gain a reputation.

In fact, the General Administration cannot compromise.

Moreover, when the director was punished, the press conference was very happy, and it was big news for them.

"Okay, I'll think about how to change it." Jiang Wen said.

Seeing Jiang Wen calm down, Lin Zixuan left Jiang Wen's film company.

Jiang Wen is not a good business person. When he opened this film company, he was full of energy and wanted to do something, but now he only has an empty shell.

The main reason is that the output is too low. You only made a movie in a few years. How to raise employees in the company, who is willing to follow you?

If you shoot a box office movie like Feng Xiaogang, it can still be maintained.

In China, there are many situations like Jiang Wen. Zhang Yimou used to have his own team, but now he has joined the film and television company established by Zhang Weiping and became the artistic director.

With the rapid development of domestic private film and television companies, directors will gradually disappear when they obtain funds from overseas.

Joining a film and television company and becoming a contracted director is a new cooperation model.

Film and television companies provide directors with filming funds and supporting services, so directors can shoot movies with peace of mind without worrying about other trivial matters.

Lin Zixuan returned home and Mu Shanshan was watching a movie.

"How is Brother Jiang? Is it okay?" Mu Shanshan said with concern.

"It's okay, he just complains, he understands it in his heart." Lin Zixuan replied, "How do you feel after watching Li An's film? Have you found the key points for the interview?"

Since I was going to give Li An an interview, Mu Shanshan was doing her homework.

When interviewing a director, you must at least roughly read other people's movies. This is the minimum respect and don't make jokes.

Li An's movie has never been released in the mainland, and Mu Shanshan found a videotape from the Performance Department of the Broadcasting Academy.

"I can't say that his films have a good performance in terms of emotions, especially in dealing with the relationship between women." Mu Shanshan commented, "I have read some movie reviews, mostly focusing on how Li An communicates with Eastern and Western cultures. There are not many comments about the movie itself."

The reason why Mu Shanshan did not conduct an interview when Li An first came to Beijing was because she didn't know much about Li An and his movies.

Besides, the domestic film industry has not studied Li Yan for a lot of research, and it is difficult to find information.

"Audiences may not like to listen to stories in the movie. They have never seen Li An's movies. They probably prefer gossip of celebrities. For example, Li An has been idle at home for six years, and the cooperation between Li An and Hollywood stars, etc.," Lin Zixuan analyzed.

"How can that work? I want to have an in-depth interview." Mu Shanshan insisted.

"Okay, don't forget to ask him what he thinks of Oscars then, the audience will definitely want to hear this." Lin Zixuan reminded. (To be continued.)
