Chapter 623: Don't talk about interests, talk about art
As an actor, Zhang Xianmin is actually not successful.
Although he has been in the industry for a long time, if you really want to say that the most effective and well-known work is only Lou Ye's work "Summer Palace", which caused him to be banned from scheduling films for five years......
In it, not many people even noticed what kind of role Zhang Xianmin played.
To be honest, even if Li Mo went to watch "Summer Palace", he didn't find any characters in it who could be named Zhang Xianmin.
…… Of course, maybe what people are looking for is just the thrill of participating in the movie in person, after all...... Someone's official job is a screenwriter.
Okay, I really can't make it up, Zhang Xianmin's biggest achievement in the first half of his life was to mix up an associate professor of the Imperial Capital Film Academy, screenwriter, director, actor, he is involved in these industries, but the problem is that in all the fields involved, Zhang Xianmin is not a mixed up, it can be said that the first half of his life is a typical thing to do......
If he were to follow Li Mo's usual social crowd, he would never have any dealings with such a person.
If it weren't for Xue Xiaolu and Ning Hao both saying that this person is notoriously good at talking, and his reputation in the review committee is also relatively good, Li Mo would not have made this trip.
At half past ten in the morning, when Li Mo took Feng Wen into the better teahouse box, it was not only Zhang Xianmin who appeared in front of him, but three people including him.
If it weren't for Xue Xiaolu and Ning Hao sitting next to him, Li Mo would almost think that he was in the wrong place.
"Director Li, you're here, come and sit down. ”
As the organizer of today's meeting, Ning Hao is quite familiar.
not only took the initiative to greet Li Mo, but also glanced at Li Mo without showing a trace.
It seems that something unexpected happened to the original meeting, not only did the number of people meet increase, but it also seemed that even the level of the people who showed up invisibly became higher.
As for why Li Mo was able to judge that the two on the opposite side were of a higher level?
It's simple.
But everything related to government departments, almost ten out of ten ** are directly proportional to age and seniority.
The older he is, the longer he has experience in this department, and the longer the seniority, it usually means that his prestige and influence in this department are greater.
Zhang Xianmin is just a middle-aged man about forty years old, and the two next to him, the youngest one, are at least running towards the age of sixty......
It is very obvious that most of the time today is that Zhang Xianmin didn't know what to do before the meeting, which alarmed the two seniors related to the script review......
Under normal circumstances, the review committee will only inform the review unit of the review results, and did not listen to the review unit explain the procedure in person, but according to Li Mo's estimate, it may be that the script theme of the "Book Sword" series is as he feared, and it is too sensitive in the current environment, but the review unit is too weighty, and it happens that the review unit has made an appointment to meet Zhang Xianmin, so the review committee simply pushes the boat and uses this private meeting to conduct a pre-trial in advance......
If the two on the other side could hear Li Mo's heart, they would probably exclaim in surprise.
In fact, things are indeed similar to what Li Mo deduced.
As the direct department of the review of film and television dramas in the Celestial Empire, with the rapid development of film and television marketization in recent years, in fact, they have not received commercial film scripts submitted by local provincial studios for a long time.
The Tianshan Film Studio in Xijiang Province has a limited level of local economic development, and there are very few commercial films submitted for review.
In fact, before this "Book of Swords and Enmity", the last time Tianying Studio submitted a commercial film script for review was almost ten years ago.
At that time, Zhang Xianmin was even a lecturer in the college......
Although the background of the times has been modified, the background of the story has been set in a chaotic era where countries stand side by side, and there is no orthodoxy at all, and the name of the Red Flower Society has been changed, but these people on the review committee are all well-informed and have eaten and seen the masters, so they basically didn't take much effort to see it, and this script is adapted from Jin Yong's "Book of Swords and Enmity".
Is this worth it?
Although Jin Yong himself basically does not hold a subjective stance on ethnic minorities in his works, but only specifically puts forward the contradictions between the Manchus and the Han Dynasty according to the social status quo in the early Qing Dynasty at that time, and even writes the plot of Chen Jialuo's final conversion to the Green Religion in the "Book of Swords and Enmity", but in today's situation, it is inevitable that some people will associate it randomly.
It's not terrible to make random associations, but what is terrible is that if the higher authorities think that the inaction of the censorship committee has condoned this tendency, then they will be too wronged.
So, even if Li Moqian saved the country and asked Tianying Studio to submit the script for review, in response to this situation, the committee was naturally divided into two factions.
One faction naturally thinks that with the guarantee of Tianying Studio and the revision of the script, it should not have any impact and can be released;
while the other faction insists that no matter who the producer is, no matter how it is modified, it is a move to cover up and steal the bell after all, and if it doesn't work, it won't work;
At this time, Zhang Xianmin, who was originally indispensable, made an appointment with the producer, so the two factions simply sent one person to follow Zhang Xianmin......
That's why the number of people who met today suddenly became three.
It happens to be one for each of the support, the neutral, and the opposition......
…… I have to say that it is really not a simple matter for "Book of Swords and Enmity" to be put on the screen......
"Director Li, come and sit down," Ning Hao first stood up and greeted, "Let me introduce you, this is Zheng Dongtian Zheng Lao, he is also my teacher at the Imperial Capital Film Academy, a famous photography master in my country, next to him is Wang Guolin Wang Lao, he is the senior of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, I have also been taken care of by him, and finally this is Zhang Xianmin and Brother Zhang, he is my senior at the Imperial Capital Film Academy......"
…… De, the original guest Zhang Xianmin, because of these two gods, has completely become a foil.
Even if Li Mo and Zhang Xianmin were not familiar with each other, he could see embarrassment and embarrassment from each other's expressions......
But it's really no one else's ......
Who told you not to know the secret?
As the saying goes, 'the minister does not lose his country, and the king does not lose his body,' could have allowed Zhang Xianmin to understand the situation of the project "Book and Sword", and then let him beat the side drum at that time, say good things, and by the way, the opportunity to make some benefits slipped away from Zhang Xianmin's eyes......
Whether it is Zheng Dongtian or Wang Guolin, even if Li Mo is persuaded in the end, Molong Media will not pay any price on the surface......
Sending money to the old-timers in the circle?
Are you sure it's good intentions and not insulting them?
