Of course, before the selection work, Shen Lin still needs to visit someone. Updates are fast and ad-free.

His immediate boss, no, to be exact, the common boss of all domestic film and television companies, Comrade Director of the Film Bureau.

On Friday, January 15th, the weather in BJ was still the same bird.

The smog shrouded the whole city, and Shen Lin came to Fuxingmen by car.

Get out of the car and enter the door.

The doorman glanced at him, apparently recognized who he was, and did not stop him, and let him go directly.

Shen Lin turned directly to the innermost separate room.

There was a knock on the door, and a deep voice came from the room, "Please come in!" ”

He pushed open the office door.

"Zhang Ju, you look for me."

Zhang Hongsen was reading the document, and when he saw that it was Shen Lin, he smiled and said, "You sit down first, and I will finish reading this document." ”

Shen Lin sat down, and after a while, a secretary brought a cup of tea and put it in front of him.

"Congratulations, four nominations, is this time the best foreign language film nine out of ten?"

After about twenty minutes, Zhang Hongsen closed the file, got up and sat on the chair next to Shen Lin, and asked with a smile.

"It's not easy to say, the competition is too fierce, and I'll be honest with you, that Hungarian film is more likely to win an award than my one, in fact, I don't really care if I win an award or not, I'm still young anyway!"

"Hehe, I now know that you are really a real literary and artistic worker, not arrogant or impatient, it is difficult for a young director to have such a mind!"

"I don't dare to be, mainly because I'm too familiar with Hollywood, and I know their preferences..."

"I've heard a lot of rumors about you lately, and you're ready to make a big deal?"

"The main thing is that the situation is good right now..."

Although Shen Lin didn't say hello to the upper-level leaders, he was very familiar with the routines, and he usually greeted him first before getting to the point.

Zhang Judong talked for a while, Shen Lin talked about various foils, and chatted for a while before he said: "I have seen your film plan this year, and I am personally very much in favor of shooting mainstream commercial works, but..."

Sure enough, it still came.

Even though Shen Lin has made it clear that this is a Sino-US co-production project, and the main producer is Disney Pictures, those who want to find fault can still find a reason.

"Tomb robbing is illegal, and it shouldn't be in the cinema!"

Or "With Shen Lin's influence, it must be beaten and beaten, otherwise it will be difficult to manage in the future!" ”

Just what Shen Lin could see on the Internet, there were a bunch of seniors who accused him of ignoring the law.

In fact, last year's film reflecting the release of lesbians has already aroused the dissatisfaction of many old-timers, thanks to Shen Lin's hard work and Zhang Ju's strong support.

Of course, the lack of dew point in the film is also one of the important reasons.

“… I'm not very good at doing this! ”

Zhang Hongsen looked at Shen Lin with a sad face.

"Zhang Ju, or I will revoke the four big characters of 'Tomb Robbery Notes' at the beginning of the film, for example, I will call this one this year, how about next year's one?"

Shen Lin lowered his head and thought about it, and proposed a solution that seemed to answer what he asked.

"Okay! That's it. ”

Zhang Hongsen thought briefly and nodded.

The main complaint of his peers is that Shen Lin can blatantly use the words 'tomb robbery notes', especially the words 'tomb robbery'.

As for the content, they won't care, even if they want to, there is no way, after all, in terms of genre, it belongs to the theme of adventure, and in terms of investment, Disney occupies 30% of the investment share, a typical co-production, to put it bluntly, can enjoy many discounts that domestic films can't enjoy.

Otherwise, if you really follow the path of domestic films, you won't be able to set up a project at all.

Well, that's it, we can't shoot, but we can introduce.

"By the way, that project, China Film also wants to invest, do you think it's okay?"

"Ahh I'm a director with an experimental idea, and if China Film doesn't dislike it and is willing to join, of course I'm welcome, but when I'm not directing movies, I don't like people to interfere. ”

Shen Lin felt bitter in his heart,, he knew that there would definitely be a price!

In fact, China Film has always wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with Shen Lin, but it lacks good opportunities.

This time, they thought it should be okay.

“… In this case, then I'll tell them, it's really not good, and I'll cooperate in the future. ”

The relationship between China Film and the Film Bureau is complicated, but in essence, the two are actually one.

Shen Lin is really ready to invest by himself and not take other companies to play.

Although this is a disaster movie, it mainly reflects human nature, and the investment will not be too large.

"Will you be attending the Xining Film Festival this year?"

"Well, it's decided."

Shen Lin is a little strange, what does this thing have to do with the Film Bureau?

"We at the BJ Film Festival also need young talents like you to join!"

“… As long as the organizing committee invites me, I will definitely be duty-bound. ”

Well, now I get it.

"Well, there's one more thing, and these two projects, you also bother a lot, to be honest, we still hope that you can be the director, after all, you have a little more experience."

"Li Ju, don't worry, I have already written the script, and Director Lin Chaoxian is still very level."

……

Walking out of the film bureau, Shen Lin sighed.

So far, there are still too few directors who can carry the banner.

When he said that he would hand over two more projects to Lin Chaoxian, Zhang Hongsen was obviously a little unhappy.

A brief introduction: it is a film created with the background of Yemen's evacuation of overseas Chinese and the protection of the interests of Chinese nationals; It is China's first maritime rescue movie.

Both films have a national background.

At the beginning, he hoped that Shen Lin would be the director, but he really didn't have time, so he had to find Lin Chaoxian to guide, and of course, he personally participated in the compilation of the script.

Even so, the boss was still a little dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Shen Lin's current international prestige, it is estimated that he really wouldn't even have the right to refuse.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he may be a character, but in the eyes of those in power, he is always just a small person!

In the final analysis, our country is still a power-based country.

"After all, he's just a craftsman!"

Retracting his thoughts, Shen Lin looked out the car window.

There is nothing to see, the smog is severe and there are few pedestrians.

"Director Shen, where are we going?"

Xiao Xu sat in the driver's seat and waited until Shen Lin came to his senses before asking.

"Well, let's go to the audition!"

Shen Lin looked at the time, the first round of auditions should have begun.
