Chapter 565: Tourism

Leaving the Beijing Film Studio, Lin Zixuan and Lin Xiaoling got in the car and went home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lin Zixuan looked at his sister sitting in the co-pilot, and sighed in his heart, on the one hand, he felt that Lin Xiaoling had grown up and matured, but on the other hand, he was worried about her future.

It's not easy to be a director, especially a female director.

Just like this time, Lin Xiaoling had to run around to promote during the Chinese New Year, which was quite hard.

Directing is not a profession with a regular schedule and commuting on time, and it is normal to work all night in order to catch up with the schedule during filming.

Lin Zixuan sometimes wonders if her original decision was wrong, maybe it would be better for her to change careers.

"Let's take a break after this play, where do you want to travel? I'll reimburse you. Lin Zixuan proposed.

"Why did my brother suddenly become generous, then I'm welcome, I want to travel around the world." Lin Xiaoling said greedily.

"Hehe, okay, is 10,000 yuan enough? Take a plane around the globe. Lin Zixuan joked.

Lin Xiaoling, as the director of the sequel to "Desire", received a salary of 500,000 yuan.

Although she has won awards internationally, she is still a young director in China, a junior in the circle, this salary is very suitable, and she is not eligible to take a box office share for the time being.

If the box office of this movie reaches 100 million, it will also be 1 million according to the 1% share.

In China, those who can get a share of the box office are either big directors like Zhang Yimou, or directors with commercial value like Feng Xiaogang, and other directors who have not proven themselves are exempt from talking.

After the sequel to "Desire" achieved box office results, Lin Xiaoling's next movie should be able to score at the box office.

500,000 is enough for her to travel around the world, but her hard-earned money is distressed.

"It's so stingy, I thought I could knock it out." Lin Xiaoling was not angry.

"Who made you so greedy, wait for your free time to take your parents abroad to see what it's like abroad, now it's fashionable to do this, if you can complete the task, I will reimburse you for all the expenses of traveling around the world." Lin Zixuan promised.

Lin Boqing has reached the age of retirement and is going through the retirement procedures, so he will not have to go to work after the New Year.

Once the elderly retire, they have nothing to do, and they will inevitably feel empty inside.

Zheng Xiulian is the same, she can still take care of Xiaoxue in the first two years, and she has a sustenance in her heart, but now Xiaoxue is gradually growing up, she has to go to kindergarten during the day, and when she goes to elementary school in the future, there will be less place to take care of.

Getting them out for a walk, traveling, and being active is good for both the body and the mind.

The two have worked for most of their lives, rarely leave the capital, and it is time to enjoy life.

Since March 97, the National Tourism Administration promulgated the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Chinese Citizens Traveling Abroad at Their Own Expense", and overseas tourism has gradually emerged in major cities in China.

The travel agency is responsible for handling the formalities of leaving the country and arranging the specific itinerary.

Lin Zixuan was not very relieved, and wanted Lin Xiaoling to follow him twice, and when the two old men were familiar with it, he could follow the group by himself.

"In this way, then I will be a strong flower, don't feel distressed." Lin Xiaoling agreed.

"Don't worry, your brother's net worth is enough for you to toss." Lin Zixuan said generously.

Lin Xiaoling said that, but she wouldn't really go to luxury.

Their family's previous life was good, but they did not belong to a wealthy family, and they developed the habit of frugality since childhood, and only after Lin Zixuan mixed in the film and television industry did he enter the ranks of rich people.

That is, in the past few years.

Besides, she is not an actress, she doesn't need to wear a famous brand, as long as she can get by.

This is the reason why Lin Xiaoling and Xu Jinglei can get along, neither of them is a luxury type.

Xu Jinglei is planning to buy a house after getting the advertising fee and the salary of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", with a goal of about 1 million, which is not only an investment, but also wants to settle a home.

She was the first person in the same class of students in the acting department of the film school to buy a house.

The brother and sister talked about the trip, and then discussed which country was fun, and argued a few words about it.

Thinking that she would be able to travel everywhere after the movie was released, Lin Xiaoling was in a good mood and couldn't help but call Xu Jinglei to show off.

Xu Jinglei is busy with the global promotion of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" this year, although she is also running around abroad, but it is the nature of work, and it is far less comfortable than travel.

In May, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

In July, the crew will promote the film in various Asian countries, including Singapore, South Korea and Malaysia.

After August, there will be various large and small film festivals in Europe and the United States, such as the Taylor Lai Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, etc.

This was followed by the British Academy Awards, the American Golden Globe Awards, the Directors Guild of America Awards, and finally the Academy Awards.

The entire publicity cycle lasted for a year, and the previous film festivals were all for the Oscar warm-up.

American film companies are very professional in publicity, and they do not miss any opportunity to build momentum, and the Oscars are not only fighting for the quality of the film, but also for publicity and public relations.

Since handing over the film to the U.S. studio in April, they have been solely responsible for the global promotion.

Lee and the film's leading actors will cooperate with the promotion until the end of next year's Oscars.

"Chong Olympics" is a system project.

Although the General Administration selects and sends films to the Olympics every year, they are not familiar with the whole process, and if they want to win the Oscars, they will not just send the film over, but also continue to build momentum for the film and expand its influence.

Major film festivals are the best stage to showcase films, and American film companies are familiar with this set.

Lin Zixuan has to consider the release date of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the mainland.

Jiang Zhiqiang proposed that it would be best to release the mainland, Xiangjiang and Baodao at the same time to strengthen the momentum. Both Xiangjiang and Baodao have set the release time of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in July.

Lin Zixuan felt that it would be difficult to achieve good box office results when it was released in the mainland in July.

Although it has been prepared for so many years, it is unknown whether this Li Eucalyptus-style martial arts film can be accepted by mainland audiences, and the impact of piracy makes the box office prospects worrying.

What's more, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has not won any awards, and it is not attractive enough to domestic audiences.

This is the reason why Lin Zixuan hesitated.

He has an idea that maybe wait until the film has gained popularity and popularity abroad, or even after the Oscars, and then arrange for it to be released in theaters in the mainland.

When the time comes, all kinds of halos and honors will be added, and the audience will buy it for the sake of the Oscars.

Just like "Titanic", before it won the Oscar, the domestic media was full of bad comments, and the audience was not interested, but after the Oscars, the direction of the media changed.

In the final analysis, this is the pursuit of awards, and it has little to do with movies.

Lin Zixuan is quite risky in doing so, and the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has changed a lot, and once the film does not win an Oscar, the mainland box office is unimaginable.

He can only take a gamble, believing in the public relations ability of American film companies and the luck of Li Yu. (To be continued.) )
