Lin Zixuan has no good impression of Zhang Wei and does not mind pointing out the conflict between him and Zhang Yimou.

To put it bluntly, it is about literary and artistic matters and investment.

In the early 1990s, it was popular in the literary and art world. At that time, literary and artistic workers were an elegant profession, and wealthy people were nouveau riche and were not popular.

Later, the big guys entered the entertainment industry and suffered a lot of losses and accumulated some experience.

So, they want to gain the right to speak, control the director, and control the stars to seek benefits for them.

This is how Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping commented.

When Zhang Yimou became famous in Europe, Zhang Weiping was still selling lunch boxes. At the beginning, Zhang Weiping curled Zhang Yimou, and when he cursed, he invested in Zhang Yimou's film.

In the end, his mentality expanded and wanted to control Zhang Yimou, thinking that he was Zhang Yimou's benefactor.

In the entertainment industry, this kind of game has been happening.

Especially after the marketization of the film industry, capital will gain the upper hand and will fully affect the development of the film industry. Hollywood is the best example.

"The new version of the "Movie Management Regulations" that was officially implemented a few days ago has four major changes in comparison with the old version in 1996, namely censorship system, co-production, distribution business and foreign investment in domestic theaters." Lin Zixuan listed, "This shows that the policy is being liberalized, the degree of marketization is becoming increasingly higher, and the reform of the film industry has entered a new stage."

On February 1, 2002, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued the latest revised "Movie Management Regulations".

Domestic film companies and foreign film companies are encouraged to make movies together, and the censorship system is further clarified, not as ambiguous as before.

Joint ventures to build cinemas, allowing foreign investment to account for 75% of the proportion.

The amendments to these regulations mean that the government's policy restrictions on film production and distribution gradually disappeared, clearing the final obstacle for capital to enter the film market.

Not only is it attractive to domestic companies, but foreign capital will also flock.

In other words, China's film industry has officially entered the era of market economy, which is consistent with the general tone of "actively developing cultural industries" proposed by the country.

The fact that Good Dream Company has achieved such good results this year is actually taking advantage of the policy.

"Can you talk about yourself? Your family and life give people a mysterious feeling in the eyes of the media." Meng Jing said in a light tone.

"Do you think I'm mysterious? I'm not an ordinary person yet." Lin Zixuan said gently, "It's because of his personality. I'm not very good at dealing with the media. You always want to dig out big news. I don't have big news here, and I'm not those stars."

"But you are in charge of celebrities. You have discovered so many celebrities. Are there any tricks?" Meng Jing said curiously.

"It cannot be said that discovery is that gold will always shine. The main reason is that they are talented and malleable. Even if I don't look for them, they will become famous, sooner or later." Lin Zixuan responded, "There is currently no professional agency in China, and the reputation of actors is a certain randomness, or luck."

"Isn't this supposed to be the case?" Meng Jing said in confusion.

"No, there is a relatively mature agency model abroad. Professional scouts discover actors everywhere, which can be called junior agents. Scouts introduce the discovered actors to agency companies or directors. In China, they are mostly scams. Directors often select actors themselves, which is very inefficient." Lin Zixuan explained, "We pay too much attention to professional background and ignore the discovery of actors from other channels, which has led to the prevalence of art exams in recent years."

In China, those who make art films look down on those who make commercial films, those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, those who are professional from non-professional schools, and those who have high education look down on those who have low education.

Actors need to learn both acquired and talent, and talent often plays a decisive role.

Lin Zixuan means that he should be unconventional in the selection of actors and should not stick to the rules.

There are both professional actors like Zhang Jiayi and Huang Xiaoming in Good Dream Company, as well as non-professional actors like Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan.

"Doesn't the lively art exam just mean that everyone is optimistic about this industry?" Meng Jing said inexplicably.

"That's because they saw that celebrities have high pay, filming a movie that costs millions, and the temptation to become famous is too great. There are too few who really like to perform, and they all want to become big stars." Lin Zixuan sighed, "Especially after the school expanded its enrollment, the performance department used to recruit only a dozen people, but now there are dozens of people. What should they do after graduation? The market does not have that large capacity and cannot accommodate so many stars, so art schools should also consider employment issues in the future."

Meng Jing discovered that Lin Zixuan was good at changing topics.

Once he talks about himself, he will unknowingly lead to a deviation and I don’t know where he is going.

"Mr. Lin, let's talk about you. You have changed between the identity of writers, screenwriters and company bosses. Each of them has been very successful. How did you do it?" Meng Jing seized the rhythm of the interview again.

"Let it go with the flow. I am not the kind of person with ambition or ambitious ambitions. Sometimes I am pushed by others, sometimes I follow the trend and just come step by step." Lin Zixuan touched, "I think it is this era that has created our people and given us opportunities. Just as Brother You once said, we have caught up with a good time."

"But from our perspective, you are the one who led the trend. From the earliest sensational gangster literature to the most popular TV series, as well as the comedy New Year films and current commercial blockbusters, you have always been ahead of the times." Meng Jing praised.

"Don't say that, it's the crystallization of collective wisdom. I have played some role in it. It is the warm response from readers and audiences that gave us confidence and encouragement. It cannot be said that it leads the trend, but that our ideas just fit the needs of the people." Lin Zixuan said in a deep voice.

"You are humble. Now is an era of showing off your personality. If others have achieved such achievements as you, they will definitely not be so low-key." Meng Jing sighed.

"If I am really low-key, I won't accept your interview, which means I am not low-key enough." Lin Zixuan joked, "I think this is a life attitude. Our generation is a bit idealistic and pragmatic. The education and growth environment have developed such a personality."

"Han Han became famous as a young man and has a close relationship with you. What do you think of their generation? Do you think it is too personal?" Meng Jingfa asked.

"The previous generation always feels disliked when looking at the next generation, and their views on things are different. They think that this is not good or that is not good. In fact, there is no need to worry about what the next generation will be like. They have their own way to go, and it is a path that suits them, which will also lead the trend of the times." Lin Zixuan thought for a while and replied.
