Regarding Lin Xiaoling's complaints, Lin Zixuan just listened.

He won't pay for his sister to go to Cannes and get through the film festival, he is not short of that money now, but he can't be such a loser, there are more places to use the money.

Besides, Lin Xiaoling's age is still immature, she is too used to it, and she needs to hone more.

But he did think of a way to tell Ge You to pay attention when he was in Cannes, and if the documentary won an award, he would just bring back the trophy or something.

Under Zhang Yimou's persuasion and urging, Ge You agreed to go to the Cannes Film Festival with Gong Li.

"If you don't let Xiaoling go with me, I don't know foreign languages, Xiaoling can still be a translator for me, which is considered someone I hired. Ge Yuti said.

"It's hard to explain to the producer side of multiple people, and they must have asked you for a translator, so don't bother. Lin Zixuan refused.

If Ge You takes Lin Xiaoling with him, the surviving producers will have to pay more money for air tickets and accommodation, although it is not much for them, it is easy to cause misunderstandings, thinking that Ge You is playing a big name or something.

At this time, actors are still interested in bringing assistants from time to time, especially Ge You, who is a particular person.

What is exquisite, take what should be taken, never touch your hands when you shouldn't take it, take care of your own affairs, and don't cause trouble to others.

Lin Zixuan is the same, he would rather pay for his sister to go to Cannes than let the living producer misunderstand Ge You.

"That's okay, I'm probably fine in Cannes, I'll get it if the documentary really wins, it's easy to go abroad, and I always have to get a trophy back." Ge You joked.

"Brother You, you better think about the acceptance speech for the best actor first, don't panic when you are not prepared. Lin Zixuan reminded, "I think it's quite promising." ”

"There are so many good actors in foreign countries, I definitely don't have a show, I just want to make up the numbers. Ge You said calmly.

Because he is not from a professional class and has not learned formal acting skills, Ge You has always been not very confident in his acting skills.

Compared with the turmoil caused by being alive in the entertainment industry, Jiang Wen's sunny days are still struggling.

After the Chinese New Year, Jiang Wen borrowed some money, Wen Jun remitted a part of it from Xiangjiang, and finally finished filming the film, and was in the process of post-production.

If everyone works hard and finishes the film, it can be regarded as a matter of heart.

Lin Zixuan is cooperating with Beijing Film Studio to shoot Party A and Party B.

Under the vigorous promotion of Han Sanping, Beijing Film Studio used manpower and material resources as an investment, which was converted into 500,000 yuan, and cooperated with Haomeng Company, and the total investment of Party A and Party B reached 2.5 million.

In the domestic film industry, this is a lot of filming funds.

A few years ago, Mi Jiashan only spent 800,000 yuan to shoot a stubborn master, but now the price has risen, and the actor's salary has risen, at that time, Ge You's salary was 800 yuan, and now it is 150,000 yuan.

Times are changing too fast.

Lin Zixuan asked Jiang Wen to use the editing room of Beijing Film Studio, and everyone is now in a cooperative relationship, and the price is relatively cheaper.

With the experience of being alive, Jiang Wen has restrained a lot when editing.

Think about it, even if a film by a big director like Zhang Yimou is banned, even if Jiang Wen is confident, he doesn't dare to say that he is stronger than Zhang Yimou, and the General Administration will open up to him.

After all, making movies is not for self-entertainment, and in the end it is still for the audience to see, and here it refers to the domestic audience.

To be honest, most foreigners watch Chinese movies with a curious mentality, and if they don't live in this environment, they can't really understand the meaning of the movie.

Although it is said that art is all connected, only Chinese people who have truly experienced that era can understand the stories told alive and resonate.

Jiang Wen thought that the film could be released in China and win awards at foreign film festivals.

If he can't have both, he still wants to win an award at the film festival, this is the first film he directed, and he always wants to pursue some art without regrets.

"I'm going to indulge like this wantonly, and this life will be worth it, otherwise I feel very bored to live. In the editing room, looking at the flowing light and shadow on the curtain in front of him, Jiang Wen said in a deep voice.

However, with Lin Zixuan's understanding of him, Jiang Wen may want to indulge more than this time.

At the end of April, Lin Zixuan attended a symposium of the General Administration.

The symposium was quite lively, and the participants were all bigwigs in the film industry, including directors of major film studios, managers of movie theaters, and experts and scholars in film.

Several private film and television companies in the capital were also invited, but they were not taken seriously and could only be audited.

The theme of the symposium was how to boost China's film market and how to deal with the introduction of foreign commercial blockbusters.

1993 was the most sluggish year in the Chinese film market.

In 1990, the total box office of the country was 2.2 billion, in 1991 it was 2.3 billion, in 1992 it was 2 billion, and in 1993 it was 1.3 billion.

In terms of film output, about 150 films are shot every year, but there are only a few films that really have market appeal and make money, and the audience's interest in domestic films has plummeted, and the film industry is facing a serious crisis.

In order to get Huaguo films out of the predicament and let the audience return to the cinema to watch movies, the General Administration issued a document.

Theaters are allowed to import about 10 films each year in the form of account sharing, which basically reflect the world's outstanding civilization achievements and basic table xiàn contemporary film art and technical achievements.

In the past, Huaguo also imported foreign films, but by way of buyout, and the buyout price of each film was up to $20,000.

This kind of low price can't attract the interest of foreign filmmakers at all, and they buy back some old movies of low quality.

This time, the method of splitting accounts was adopted, and the proportion of account sharing was that the foreign film companies and Huaguo Film Company together received 46 percent of the total box office, the provincial and municipal film companies received between 8 and 10 percent, and the rest was owned by the theaters.

In this way, the higher the box office of a film in China, the more money foreign film companies will get to sell, and in order to make more profits, they will bring high-quality foreign commercial blockbusters to China for release.

These foreign blockbusters can attract audiences to the theaters, the domestic box office climbs, and the Chinese film market prospers.

At the same time, foreign blockbusters will have a strong impact on domestic films.

Only by improving the quality of the films and learning from foreign advanced shooting techniques and propaganda methods can domestic films survive this competition, which is also the meaning of the General Administration.

Use the catfish effect to activate the competitiveness of the Chinese film industry, either survive or eliminate.

Lin Zixuan knows very well that for the domestic film industry, this time it is really a wolf. To be continued
