Tao Hong also sighed: "Actually...... This is just the result of my recommendation with the director and producer everywhere in the past few days, and there are some people who are even relatives and friends of the people behind the scenes, otherwise there would not be so many people coming to the show today. ”

After listening to Tao Hong's answer, Lin Xiaoguang felt a little lost in his heart, and his face also showed a worried look, but the producer of "Life Show" Guo Yuming seemed to be open, and said to him with a smile: "It's okay, our kind of literary film was not originally shot for the box office, and this time it was already half of a success to be shortlisted for the Golden Goblet Award." ”

Producer Guo Yuming is the management of China Film Group Corporation, and the film "Life Show" is one of the investment films of China Film Group, which is the only company in Chinese mainland with the right to import films, and has also promoted many domestic films overseas over the years, and it is currently the largest film company in China.

Of course, China Film Group is not a stupid son of a wealthy landlord, the reason why it is willing to invest in the literary film "Life Show" is mainly because of the great popularity of director Huo Jianqi's previous "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog" in RB.

Lin Xiaoguang knew Guo Yuming's ability, glanced at him curiously, and just as he was about to speak, he saw several foreigners walk into the hall and sit down in the front row.

I saw that Guo Yuming hurriedly got up, and without saying a word, he ran over by himself.

Lin Xiaoguang looked at the situation Yuming and those foreigners nodded and bent over with a flattering attitude, and was instantly dumbfounded, just now I heard him say so high-sounding, light and light, the whole look of indifference, thinking that he was a person who had seen a big scene and could really see it very openly, it turned out that it was purely to comfort himself, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Tao Hong, what is the origin of those people?"

Tao Hong said: "They are all foreign film companies, I met with the producer with a total of more than 20 film companies, except for a few RB film companies who have expressed interest, none of the film companies from other countries have agreed to introduce them." It wasn't until the shortlist came out that these companies were willing to nod, but it was only a preliminary intention, and they all planned to watch the movie. ”

Lin Xiaoguang originally thought that it was difficult enough to make a movie, but he didn't expect it to be even more difficult to promote the movie, so he asked with anxiety: "That, if we can't sell the overseas copyright, does it mean that our film will definitely lose money?"

Tao Hong smiled bitterly when she heard this, but still said calmly: "It can be understood that the current mainland film market is very sluggish, and it is difficult to make money by making movies in these years, not to mention the theme of literary films we make, even commercial films may not be able to make profits in China." ”

Huo Jianqi next to him answered: "Xiaoguang, like our "Life Show", China Film Group didn't plan to make a lot of money from this at the beginning. Generally, if the cost of literary films is not too high and the quality is good, they will invest in it to win awards. If you win the award, you can naturally sell it, and if they are dollars, they can give hundreds of thousands of dollars at will, and then make some box office money in China, and we will almost be able to recover our capital. Even if you don't get the award, the investor won't have much to lose, and you can still have a good reputation for supporting domestic films. ”

Lin Xiaoguang felt a little sad, he didn't expect the real situation to be like this, and then he looked at Yuming, who kept laughing and chatting in front of several foreign filmmakers, and sighed silently in his heart.

"Alright, it's time for the show. Tao Hong said suddenly.

As soon as the voice fell, the lights dimmed and the screen lit up.

In addition to Tao Hong, Lin Xiaoguang has never seen the finished film, and he, like Tao Hong, began to restrain his mood and watched the movie seriously.

The beginning is in the noisy Jiqing Street, and Lai Shuangyang is sitting with a cigarette in his hand, which becomes a scenery of his own.

However, when Shuangyang appeared, Lin Xiaoguang already smelled the breath of tragedy.

In addition, the photographer's lens seems to focus on the cigarette in her hand every day, and she says that she doesn't like cigarettes.

In Jiqing Street, her gestures are like seducing, seducing the man who bought his duck neck for a year, Zhuo Xiongzhou said, she is the mood of Jiqing Street.

The most powerful woman is not necessarily the most beautiful in life, but the one who knows how to show her every gesture into a painting.

If a woman has a crush on a man, she almost always wants to show her best to that man.

Lai Shuangyang is a typical person, for a plate of leftover fried noodles, she was like a shrew scolding the street, but when she saw Boss Zhuo coming, she laughed, threw the fried noodles away, and went back to the stall to wipe the table and smoke.

The gesture of coming to Shuangyang to take a cigarette is really a naked, naked, naked seduction, which is the only charm that belongs to women, but it also has that kind of soul-scaring beauty. It is not to be loved, nor is it not to be loved.

The pace of the whole film is not fast, and the camera often stays on some seemingly meaningless still life.

Lin Xiaoguang was most impressed by the scene where Shuangyang wore the broken sandals, which appeared twice, respectively in the development of the story and the ending.

Lin Xiaoguang felt that the sandals with broken straps were like Zhuo Xiongzhou's feelings for Shuangyang, which seemed to be like that, and he knew that they were unreliable when he walked.

The film is called "Life Show", Lin Xiaoguang has never understood before, where is the life of Kai Shuangyang?

Until today, Lin Xiaoguang watched the whole movie, and he realized a little later, it turned out that the so-called show of "Life Show" is better said to be "Life Turn".

What makes people feel chagrin and sigh in this movie is that even if it is a woman like Kai Shuangyang, her world still revolves around men.

For the younger brother, for the elder brother, for the father, for the boss Zhuo. It's like a ballet-dancing actress, turning circle after circle on the stage, she can't extricate herself, but no one comes out to cheer for her.

……

To be honest, the movie "Life Show" does not have the elements that Western studios want to see, because "Life Show" does not have the "Chinese impression" they imagined, and backward, poor, and pigtailed Chinese may be the image of Chinese taught by the West.

Because that element fits the image of China in their heads.

If it weren't for Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others who were influenced by Bruce Lee and used "kung fu" to enter Hollywood movies, Western countries' impressions of China might be more stereotypical.

You must know that the standard opening of Western documentaries about China is generally a melodious prelude to the sound of the erhu, with an upward view of the armed police soldiers in the square, the portraits of the leaders on the city towers, and the army of bicycles with green lights such as black pressing.

Come on, how many years ago did the bicycle army go?

Ironically, they're still in use.

Unlike the West, RB is a country that appreciates movies, in addition to heavy av, but also has a strong humanistic feeling.

Huo Jianqi's "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" is a niche literary film in 1999, and it barely sold a copy in China, and almost no one cared about it.

Then, it set off a movie-watching boom in RB, although the box office was only 350 million yen, but all RB people who have seen this film are deeply moved by this film, and even shed tears, and there is even an RB small town theater that only shows this film all year round.

Why do RB people like this film?

Lin Xiaoguang also asked Huo Jianqi this question, and all the RB people who interviewed him mentioned to him the problem of RB's current lack of affection, and they felt that this film raised the topic of education to RB people.

In RB, ordinary RB people like the simple folk style of this film, while some government agencies and individual parties require their subordinate staff to watch it as an educational film, and there are even posters of this film on the wall outside the office of the post office.

After nearly two hours of film screening, most of the audience at the scene had already left.

The filmmakers in the first row have long been missing.

The result is already obvious, but the premiere of "Life Show" at the SH Film Festival ended in such a bleak situation.

That night, Tao Hong suddenly rushed into Lin Xiaoguang's bedroom wrapped in a white bathrobe, and the faint spring light on his chest made Lin Xiaoguang, who was watching TV in the room, a little at a loss.

"It's sold!Finally sold!" Tao Hong shouted excitedly.

"What was sold?" Lin Xiaoguang didn't know why.

"Our "Life Show" has sold overseas copyrights!"

"Which country was it sold to?"

Hearing the news that Tao Hong personally came to tell him, Lin Xiaoguang was also very happy, although he was only a supporting role in this play, it was also his first movie, and the most basic sense of collective honor was still there.

Speaking of which, there is also a credit for his contribution here.

"Sold to RB's dentsu. ”

Lin Xiaoguang suddenly wondered: "Is there only RB's film company?

Tao Hong was also stunned and said, "It seems that there is none." ”

Lin Xiaoguang said with emotion: "In this way, it would be nice if a few more countries could buy it." ”

"Xiaoguang, don't be too greedy, it's good that a country's filmmakers are willing to buy it, I heard the producer say that Dentsu is the company with the largest distribution rights in RB, and if it goes well, it will be released on RB in the second half of the year. ”
