Hearing Lin Zixuan's decision, the employees of Haomeng Company couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. No one wanted to put the company in crisis. Not being afraid of trouble does not mean that they were going to cause trouble.

"Look at what makes you nervous, I'm just making an assumption, hoping that the film can win awards, so that we can also enjoy the American Oscars." Lin Zixuan joked.

Everyone cooperated and smiled, not taking this seriously.

It is true that Li An comes from Hollywood and has also made movies that were nominated for Oscars, but that was an English film.

I don’t have much hope to win a big prize in a Chinese film at the Oscars, it would be great if I could win a small prize in technology or clothing.

Lin Zixuan did not mention making another version, it was still early, so there was no hurry.

There is another thing about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", that is, making an Olympic film.

According to the rules of the American Academy Awards, each country or region can only choose one movie to participate in the Oscars' Best Foreign Language Film Award every year.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a movie jointly produced by Da 6, Xiangjiang and Baodao.

All three parties are qualified to choose to send movies to participate in the Oscars, so there is a saying in whose name it is. If the movie chosen by Big 6 wins the award, the honor will return to the domestic film industry.

The Mainland is decided by the General Administration. The competition is fierce every year and is the battlefield for major directors.

The General Administration selects and sends videos more to consider political factors, followed by art and influence.

Lin Zixuan naturally hopes that the General Administration will agree to the selection of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to participate in next year's Oscar competition, but Good Dream Company does not have that much say.

You can only apply and do your best.

After the topic of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the atmosphere of the conference became relaxed, and this year was a year of good dream company's harvest.

The company's free movie activity planned by the company was very successful. Not only did it spend 1.5 million yuan, but it also affected audiences in other regions through the news media.

This led to a small boom in the box office of "The Funeral of Big Names", which eventually reached 40.6 million yuan.

According to the accounting ratio of Hehua Film Company, Haomeng Company can get a box office share of 16 million.

Excluding all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, including taxes and fees, this movie brings the company more than 10 million yuan in net income.

This is Feng Xiaogang's highest box office movie, which established his position in the New Year film market.

The market is most intuitive. According to statistics, this movie accounts for 10% of the total box office of the Du Cinema throughout the year, and the box office in Beijing reaches 15 million.

Last year, five New Year's films were released in China, with box office mostly around 10 million.

Of course, they are not as large as "The Funeral of Big Names", and they are famous for actors, and dare to spend money on promotion.

This shows that the domestic film industry can no longer make small fuss. The way to invest two or three million yuan and expect to make a big fortune with small investments, the probability of success is not high.

It's time for domestic films to move towards big production.

Feng Xiaogang increased the production cost of comedy to 30 million yuan, and he could make money by implanting advertisements and patch advertisements, giving domestic movies a shot in a heartbeat.

High investment means high returns.

With Feng Xiaogang's successful example, other film and television companies dared to invest and produce excellent domestic commercial films.

Lin Zixuan plans to hold a celebration banquet before the Spring Festival to reward the company's employees.

After the celebration banquet, in addition to the creative department being able to have a holiday, other departments must also stick to their posts. The publicity work of the sequel to "Desire" across the country cannot be relaxed.

At the end of the year-end meeting, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang chatted in the office.

"Jiang Wen's temper is probably useless to persuade him. He used to listen to others' advice. Since he won two major awards internationally, he has really regarded himself as an artist. He talked about creation silently, and was crazy." Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said.

This is a joke. Although Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen don’t deal with each other, they have to argue when they meet, but the relationship is very good.

Jiang Wen is the kind of person with an artist's temperament. He is not the superficial artist's temperament, but what he thinks in his heart. He has his own artistic persistence and will not compromise easily.

What Feng Xiaogang said makes sense. Jiang Wen, who won the award, obviously has a more stubborn temper and is more persistent.

When filming "Sunny Days", the General Administration asked him to modify seven scenes after review, and then he revised them. When he arrived at "Xu Sanguan's Blood Selling Record", he adopted a perfunctory attitude and finally participated in the International Film Festival in violation of regulations.

This time, Wang Zhongjun asked Lin Zixuan to persuade Jiang Wen not to participate in the film festival in violation of regulations. Feng Xiaogang thought there was no chance.

Jiang Wen is very clear about the domestic censorship system. Since he dared to shoot like this, he did not intend to pass the censorship. In this case, he is unlikely to give up attending the film festival.

"Try it, why don't you come and film "Heroes" by Brother Feng?" Lin Zixuan said.

Feng Xiaogang has read the script of "Hero". He has the intention of trying it out. He has made several comedy films and wants to change the genre.

But he was a little hesitant. This transformation was a bit big and he didn't know if he could control it. He wanted to see the audience's reaction to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" before making a decision.

If domestic audiences can accept martial arts films like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he will try directing "Hero".

Feng Xiaogang's biggest advantage is that he continues to learn, learn from the strengths of other directors, and use them in his own films.

There is no way, who made him a wild way? His style was formed through continuous learning, and there was no trick.

"If Jiang Wen is unwilling to lead, then I will come and I will ask him to be the protagonist." Feng Xiaogang said simply.

Feng Xiaogang admitted that Jiang Wen had an advantage over him in filming movies like "Hero", but as a successful commercial director, he had his own confidence and knew what the audience wanted to see.

"Why would you rather let Director Jiang? Have you forgotten what happened when filming "The People in Beijing in New York"?" Lin Zixuan quipped.

During the filming of "The People in Beijing in New York", Jiang Wen caused trouble for Feng Xiaogang a lot, which made Feng Xiaogang lose his temper.

At that time, Feng Xiaogang was still an unfamous director, and Jiang Wen was already a big star in China, but Feng Xiaogang steadily controlled the crew and successfully finished the TV series.

It's strange, although they argued fiercely, they didn't make any trouble in the end.

Maybe they are all for the sake of the TV series, not for the fight for control of the crew.

This is why Jiang Wen is difficult to cooperate with other directors. His approach can easily cause misunderstandings among directors and make those directors feel like they are being overshadowed. Who is the director?

A real big director can tolerate an actor like Jiang Wen, giving him room to create classic roles.

Now Feng Xiaogang has become the top domestic commercial film director, and Jiang Wen has won an international award. If the two work together again, I don’t know what kind of sparks can be created. (To be continued.)8
