The 7th National Congress of the Chinese Federation of Literature and Art Circles will be grandly held in the capital.??
The residence of the Cultural Congress is the Cadillac Hotel in Beijing. This is a quasi-five-star hotel with conference halls of different sizes and a maximum capacity of 400 people.
Delegates need to report to the hotel and participate in the discussion of the various agendas of the Cultural Congress.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang left the Cadillac Hotel and took a bus. The meeting had not officially opened yet. They came to meet with representatives from all over the country.
Representatives of the Cultural Congress are elected by local Federations of Literary and Art Circles.
The representatives included leaders of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in various places, old artists and art workers who have achieved success.
The most eye-catching ones are the representatives of the stars.
Although the two have reached a certain level in the circle, they have to take the attitude of a newcomer and establish a good relationship with the old artists in this situation.
Lin Zixuan also wants to win the support of those people.
"It's really lively. The last session was in 1996, and we were not qualified to participate. This time we finally caught up with it." Feng Xiaogang sighed.
It’s not his fault that this is the largest and highest-level event in the domestic literary and artistic circles.
There are so many literary and artistic workers across the country, and only more than 2,000 people came to Beijing for meetings, which is enough to illustrate the problem.
Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen have just finished filming "Heroes" and are doing the later stages, with a large number of special effects shots.
The filming of the past six months was very difficult. The movies he used to shoot were all urban themes, either in the film and television base or in the capital, with no outdoor scenes.
"Hero" is different. In order to pursue the best effect, the crew traveled all over the country.
Feng Xiaogang and Li An competed secretly.
Li An, a Chinese director living in the United States, came to the mainland to shoot the scene and filmed beautiful scenery that was amazed by Western audiences. He is a local director, so it shouldn't be too bad.
Moreover, this is his first time filming a martial arts film. Many things need to be explored, filmed several times, and tried boldly.
Feng Xiao had to go abroad to do the late stage after the meeting, and time was tight.
"Qualification is achieved through enduring, and we will become old qualifications after more than ten years." Lin Zixuan responded.
This is the truth. In another twenty years, they will probably be called old artists by young people.
"That's fine. Then I can also show off my airs and swear. Whoever I want to scold me?" Feng Xiaogang joked, "By the way, I watched the screening of "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" and it was very stressful. If I had one movie every year, others would not play the Chinese New Year holiday."
With the support of the General Administration and the coordination of Haomeng Company, "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" has been scheduled for 90% of the films in major theaters across the country.
No main theme movies are treated like this.
It can be said that this year's New Year holiday, whether it is the Hollywood blockbuster or domestic films introduced, will make way for "Little Snow's Big Adventure", and no one can stop it.
On the one hand, it is the unified arrangement of Huaying Group, and on the other hand, the theaters have confidence in this movie.
The higher the box office of a movie, the better the theater revenue. This type of large-scale film is the favorite of theaters.
Faced with this situation, even Feng Xiaogang, who once dominated the Chinese New Year holiday in the mainland, was under pressure.
"Xiaoxue's Big Adventure" is a series of movies. There is no problem shooting one every year. How can I play the Chinese New Year's Eve? I won't give other New Year's Eve movies opportunities.
"This time, there will be no such good situation next year." Lin Zixuan explained.
From anti-pirated versions to theater film scheduling, there are influences from the Ministry of Culture. The Ministry of Culture wants to set a typical example, so it has increased its support.
But I won’t be so lucky every time, and I can only rely on the strength of Haomeng Company in the future.
"Jiang Wen and I originally wanted to be successful in the box office with "Hero". With "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure", I guess it's difficult. What does the marketing department think about the box office?" Feng Xiaogang asked.
"Conservatively estimated that 150 million yuan may exceed 200 million yuan, depending on the market's reflection." Lin Zixuan replied.
This is a judgment made by Haomeng Company based on various factors, and it is impossible to reach the height of "Titanic".
The reason why "Titanic" won a box office of 360 million is that it has been released in China for five months and is suitable for audiences of all ages.
"The Big Adventure of Xiaoxue" is difficult to be released for so long, and two months is already the limit.
Besides, its audience is teenagers and its coverage is not wide.
Objectively speaking, "Titanic" is much higher in terms of artistry and influence than "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure", and it is normal for a gap in box office.
This is why Lin Zixuan has reservations about the media.
Even if "Xiaoxue's Adventure" gets a box office of 200 million yuan, it will only cost more than 20 million US dollars. If you want to recover the cost, it depends on the box office in Europe, the United States and other countries.
The next day, Lin Zixuan came to the Great Hall of the People.
The national leaders met with all representatives of the Cultural Congress at the Great Hall and took photos with the representatives.
This is the second time Lin Zixuan has been received by national leaders. The first time was after "Desire" was broadcast ten years ago, when he and members of the "Desire" crew entered Zhongnanhai.
At that time, he had no reputation and only shook hands with the leader.
This time the leader knew who he was. When shaking hands, he chatted with Lin Zixuan and praised Haomeng Company, which shows that the senior management has a good impression of Lin Zixuan.
Lin Zixuan heard that leaders like to watch movies and love literature.
Even so, he had no intention of inviting the leader audience to "Xiaoxue's Big Adventure".
He is no longer the young man who gave advice to leaders for the broadcast of "The Story of the Editorial Department", and he has considered things too much.
When taking a photo, Lin Zixuan stood among thousands of people, not conspicuous.
This news was broadcast at 7 o'clock that night. Lin Zixuan had a scene of shaking hands with the leader. As a well-known figure in the literary and artistic circles, Lin Zixuan has been on the news many times, but there are not many opportunities to go to "Huaguo News".
The editing of news materials is very particular, especially the thirty-minute "China News".
There are so many people in the material, and there is a saying for whoever appears or who doesn’t show up. Therefore, those leading cadres often think about "Huaguo News" and understand the meaning of the upper class.
China Television recently increased its efforts to promote "Little Snow's Big Adventure".
This year's Cultural Congress and Works Congress will be held for a total of five days.
At the Congress, the chairman, vice chairman and members of the Secretariat were elected.
At the same time, a group of old writers who enjoyed prestige in the literary world and made great contributions to the literary cause were also elected to serve as honorary positions in the Writers Association, and gold medals and certificates were awarded to them at the closing meeting.
Lin Zixuan successfully joined the presidium and became one of the 30 members of the presidium.
At the closing ceremony, the vice chairman of the China Writers Association made a summary, which is a conference that inspires writers and literary workers to create and strive.8
