Next chapter

In the north, after the beginning of winter, it means that it has entered winter, and the weather turns cold, and the people of the capital will take supplements at this time.

It is said to be a tonic, that is, to buy some beef and mutton on this day, boil a pot of soup, and have a lively meal as a family.

In this era, ordinary people are not often able to eat beef and mutton, and the day of the beginning of winter has a special significance.

In the past two years, everyone's life has been good, but the habits have not changed, and on this day, most of the family will go home for dinner.

As soon as Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan entered the courtyard, they could smell the pervasive smell of meat, almost every family was like this, this was the custom.

Lin Xiaoling rushed back from the film school, she will not let go of this opportunity to satisfy her hunger, who knows who eats the food in the school cafeteria, it can only be said that the price is affordable, and the amount is full.

When the two of them entered the door, Zheng Xiulian brought up the broth that had been stewed a long time ago.

The family sat together, eating dumplings, drinking mutton soup, and chatting casually.

Xiaoling was very interested in Mu Shanshan's signing meeting, and helped calculate the royalty income.

"Fifteen yuan a copy, this is about to sell 30,000 copies, 10% of the royalty, that's 45,000, if you sell 1 million copies, that's 1.5 million, this is a fortune. Lin Xiaoling said excitedly.

"Not so much, at first readers were interested, sales were good, but then it slowed down, and the publisher estimated that it was about 300,000 copies at most. Mu Shanshan explained.

This "My 180 Days in America" was printed for the first time 50,000 copies, and 30,000 copies were sold in a month, which was a good result.

After all, Mu Shanshan is not the kind of celebrity who is a household name, even in Huaguo TV, she is not the most famous host, she just took the lead and became the first host of Huaguo TV to publish a book.

With the first person to eat crabs, there will be a boom in the host publishing books in the future, after all, no one will be afraid of money.

However, this money is not a one-time acquisition, and the book can only be collected after it is sold, which will be a long-term process.

That's how to get royalties, pay attention to the long stream.

"That's a lot, hundreds of thousands, it turns out that writing books makes so much money, so I'll become a writer too." Lin Xiaoling said enviously.

"Don't be half-hearted, study hard, and when you become famous, talk about writing books. Lin Zixuan said.

"Brother, don't just talk about me, you're still a writer, your sister-in-law has published books, what about you?" Lin Xiaoling teased.

"If I write a popular novel, it will sell more than this, and it will scare you. Lin Zixuan exaggerated.

"You just blow it, and you won't pay taxes anyway. Lin Xiaoling said in a low voice.

This is at home, the brother and sister are used to making trouble, and they just talk and laugh.

"By the way, brother, Professor Zheng asked me to ask you, the copyright issue of our documentary, the director department is going to re-shoot and produce it, it seems to be a new type of documentary, and it may be sent to the international film festival if it is done. Lin Xiaoling said happily.

Lin Xiaoling doesn't know much about these, and Zheng Dongtian values it more.

In fact, the commercial value of this documentary is not very large, except for insiders and documentary lovers, no audience will come to watch a film with rough images, poor production, and no stars.

The mere use of expired film could not be shown in regular theaters, and the only way to do it was to use videotape.

It is basically difficult to make money from this, and its value lies in the novel form, which has opened a new direction for Chinese documentaries.

Zheng Dongtian wanted to remake the documentary, fill it in, and add a soundtrack to make it more complete.

At the beginning, Lin Zixuan and Lin Xiaoling only filmed for one day, they were in a hurry, not so much exquisite, and the whole documentary was very primitive.

Zheng Dongtian is the director of the Beijing Youth Film Studio, and it is easy to remake the documentary, so it is a practical course for the students of the directing department, and let these students shoot and cut themselves according to this idea.

If the final product is good, send it to the international film festival to try it.

He inquired about the copyright because he was worried that if the documentary won an award in the international film industry, it would not be good to cause controversy.

He has been in the film industry for decades, and he has seen it very thoroughly, and everyone is fighting for nothing more than fame and fortune.

"The copyright belongs to you, you can toss as much as you want. Lin Zixuan thought about it and decided.

He doesn't pay much attention to this documentary, it was originally for his sister's exam, if he really wins any awards, then Lin Xiaoling will go more smoothly in this industry in the future, there is nothing wrong.

Lin Xiaoling returned to school and reported the results to Zheng Dongtian.

Zheng Dongtian found a group of several directing students who were interested in this matter, and asked them to follow the normal steps of filming a film to prepare, write a plan, and assign work.

For example, I want to find students from the photography department to shoot, find students from the department to write scripts, find students from the recording department to record, and so on.

The production of film is a team effort, and the most important thing in the Beijing Film Academy is the students of various majors.

Lin Xiaoling will also be the red scarf girl in the film, she has practical experience, but this time it is more formal, and she can experience the whole process of shooting a movie when she participates in it.

Xiaoling also brought Jia Zhangke in, after all, she knew this person in the film school.

Besides, everyone is an auditor, and there is a sense of intimacy.

Jia Zhangke knew that Lin Xiaoling had a work of his own, and he followed a group of students to watch "The Wind in the Capital is Very Windy", and there was a hazy feeling in his mind.

It turns out that the movie can still be shot like this, and if I take a video camera to shoot the streets and people in my hometown, it will also be a good movie.

Feng Xiaogang resigned from the art center, he did not leave without pay, and left very simply.

"I don't plan to leave a way out, I've been in the unit for so many years, I've long been tired of it, and now it's easy. Feng Xiaogang said with emotion.

He didn't go to the Air Politics Center to direct "The Story of the Cooking Class", but first went to be an actor.

Beijing 101 Middle School, Feng Xiaogang was wearing a white really good shirt, holding a hat, wearing glasses, and he was preparing for the start of filming.

This is the crew of "Sunny Days", filming the scene of Feng Xiaogang in class.

At this time, it was already November, and it was a little cold in the capital, but it was a summer scene, and Feng Xiaogang was going to wear half a sleeve.

There were dozens of students in the classroom, some of them were actors, and some were students from 101 Middle School.

Jiang Wen is waiting for the students' reactions in class, and then there will be many rehearsals before the actual filming, Jiang Wen's filming is rarely done once, he needs to shoot a few more times for comparison.

Feng Xiaogang walked up to the podium and started the class, and the students below were coaxing.

Jiang Wen watched from the side, did not speak, and when this part was finished, he would communicate with the staff and propose where improvements were needed, and the second rehearsal would be much better.

After watching the rehearsal a few times, Jiang Wen walked up to Feng Xiaogang, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and put it in Feng Xiaogang's shirt pocket.

There were few teachers in the sixties and seventies who didn't smoke, and the audience might not notice this detail, but Jiang Wen felt that it was very important, which was in line with the appearance of that era. (To be continued.) )
