The high-profile appearance of the Beijing Television Art Center at the Golden Oriole Festival this time brought about the consequence that Lin Zixuan was targeted by reporters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lin Zixuan's status in the art center is not low.

It's no secret inside showbiz, but it's fairly new to entertainment journalists.

The main reason is that Lin Zixuan is generally behind the scenes, does not accept interviews from reporters, and acts quite low-key.

However, as long as the reporter inquires carefully, he can always find clues, just watching the TV series filmed by the art center, almost every one of them has Lin Zixuan's name on it.

Either a producer, a screenwriter, or a planner......

Lin Zixuan used to be the deputy director of the production department of the art center, and is now the chairman of the Good Dream Film and Television Company.

Some reporters felt that there was a story to dig up in him, so they asked to interview Lin Zixuan, but they were closed.

It's not that Lin Zixuan is putting on a show, but he feels that he has nothing to talk about with reporters.

It's not interesting to talk shallowly, it's not good if it's too deep, it's easy to say something that shouldn't be said, just refuse, he's not a star, he doesn't need exposure, just live his own life.

He, like Ge You, is a person who pays a lot of attention to privacy.

One day in late October, Lin Zixuan received a notice from the General Administration to watch a movie at Huaying Company.

This movie is not simple, this is the first imported blockbuster introduced by China Film Company, and it has signed contracts with foreign film companies, and this time it is an internal screening.

The Hollywood blockbuster, called "The Outlaw," was released in the United States as early as August last year.

"The Outlaw" meets the definition of a Hollywood blockbuster, it costs more than $40 million to produce, is directed by a famous director, starred by a popular American star, and has many big scenes in the film.

The film makes use of a lot of stunt shots.

One of the shots of the collision between the prisoner car and the train cost $1.5 million, and a total of 16 cameras were used to shoot this set of shots, and a real train and car were lost.

This is unthinkable in the domestic film industry.

Lin Zixuan spent $1.5 million on filming "Beijingers in New York", Jiang Wen's "Sunny Day" spent $1.2 million, and in Hollywood blockbusters, a shot of less than five minutes cost $1.5 million.

"The Outlaws" grossed more than $180 million in the United States and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

In every sense of the word, this is a real Hollywood blockbuster.

Huaying didn't want to take such a big step at first, they wanted to cause blockbusters in Xiangjiang first, such as kung fu movies.

One is that domestic audiences are familiar with it, and the other is that the box office gap will not be so big, which will cause a rebound in the domestic film industry.

In fact, since the General Administration decided to introduce Hollywood blockbusters, the opposition has not stopped.

Many people regard Hollywood blockbusters as a flood beast, believing that it will ruthlessly occupy and even destroy the fragile domestic film market, and the debate between all parties is very fierce.

If the box office results of Hollywood blockbusters are too eye-catching, it will make the domestic film industry more pessimistic and more opposed.

Huaying had already negotiated with a film company in Xiangjiang, and at this time, Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States came to the door.

In the past, Hollywood studios were not interested in the domestic film market in China, because they couldn't make much money, but now they have adopted the method of box office sharing, which has attracted their attention.

After all, Huaguo is a huge market with a population of more than one billion, and Hollywood has always studied it.

They conducted a survey on the movie-watching habits of Chinese audiences.

The survey pointed out that Chinese audiences are relatively conservative, and themes such as love triangles and intergenerational conflicts are not popular because they violate traditional ethics, but general romance and historical films will be very marketable.

In particular, comedies and films starring children are very popular.

The survey found that films with narrative characteristics such as "great reunion" and "clear distinction between good and evil" were in line with the values of the Chinese people, and also reminded American filmmakers not to bring films that scandalized Chinese to China.

Warner Bros. was one of the first Hollywood studios to enter China, and when they learned of the change in policy in the Chinese film industry, they sent people to negotiate.

It was just a temptation, and Warner Bros. was not very demanding.

They wanted to see if Hollywood movies could do well in China and whether there was any difference in the viewing interests of Chinese and Western audiences, so they recommended "The Outlaw", which was a big hit at the US box office.

If the film is a success, they will increase their investment and public relations efforts in China, allowing more Warners films to enter the emerging film market.

Huaying felt that the conditions of Warner Bros. in the United States were good and very sincere, so they decided to test the water with this film.

Before the official release, they organized several in-house screenings.

The first was an invitation to the members of the Film Commission to censor the film and remove the overly violent and bloody scenes.

The second session invited insiders in the film industry, including the heads of major film studios and film projection companies in various provinces and cities.

There will also be a session where experts from all walks of life will be invited to evaluate and discuss the film and make suggestions.

The introduction of Hollywood blockbusters is undoubtedly an "earthquake" for China's film industry, and China Film Company is quite cautious.

Lin Zixuan rushed to the Chinese Film Company on time and was taken to a screening room, where many people were seated, all of whom were important figures in the Chinese film industry, and he saw Han Sanping.

Some of them had serious faces, some were talking in low voices, and he found a seat and sat down and waited for the movie to show.

Two hours pass quickly, and the film is nearing its end.

There's nothing to say about the whole story, it's that the protagonist's wife was killed, the protagonist became a suspect in killing his wife, and was sentenced to death by the judge, the protagonist was unwilling to die, and tried to escape, on the one hand, to avoid the pursuit of the police, and on the other hand, to investigate the truth of the matter.

It's a very cliché story, not artistic, but it's very cool to watch, and it belongs to standard Hollywood action movies.

The pace of the story is very fast, and it has been in a tense pursuit, which makes the audience experience a dangerous escape process with the male protagonist, which is very exciting.

The big scenes in the movie are not seen in domestic films, and such movies are very attractive to the Chinese people of this era.

After watching the movie, there was a lot of discussion in the screening hall, and everyone generally believed that there was no domestic film that could compete with this film.

You get what you pay for, the cost of $40 million is not spent in vain, and the investment in domestic films rarely exceeds $1 million, the gap is too big, and he is not a heavyweight player at all.

The group emerged from the screening room and headed to the conference room, where there was a discussion below.

"Director Han, what do you think?" On the way, Lin Zixuan asked.

"If you don't introduce it, there is no way out for domestic films, if you introduce it, there is still some hope for domestic films, we see the gap, and then we can only catch up." Han Sanping sighed.

However, not everyone has this attitude of shame and courage.

Many people are ready to unite to boycott this Hollywood blockbuster, and a storm is about to break out in China's film industry. (To be continued.) )
