Back in the capital, Lin Zixuan received a call from Zhang Yimou, who told him that the script of "Alive" had been reviewed. △↗,.

In China, if you want to shoot a film, you must first submit a synopsis of the script or a complete script for the record with the General Administration, and after review, the film that agrees to shoot will be issued a "Film Script (Synopsis) Filing Receipt" and a "Filming Film Permit".

You can only shoot movies with a license from the General Administration, otherwise it will be illegal filming and will be treated as a banned film.

After the filming of the film is completed, the film must be submitted for review, and only after the film has passed the final review can it be arranged to be screened in theaters.

This is the normal process that a film has to go through.

The script is relatively easy, and the script is just a textual description, far less intuitive than the image.

As long as you are careful to avoid some sensitive areas, there is a great possibility of passing guò, writers are good at playing word games, and the same thing will feel completely different if you express it in different ways.

However, once the script is filmed into an image, those wordplay are useless.

In addition, some directors like to change the script during filming, and the final film may be very different from the original script, or even two stories with different meanings.

Therefore, the final review of the film is the key, which will determine whether the film can be released or not.

Anyway, Lin Zixuan still admires Zhang Yimou very much, he has changed the script many times, and he knows very well how difficult it is to get such a sensitive subject to be reviewed.

"Alive" is adapted from a novel into a movie, there are no tricks available, it doesn't mean that you can pass the test by submitting a script synopsis of a few thousand words, the people in the General Administration know what kind of story "Alive" is.

In other words, Zhang Yimou has to come up with a complete script, and he has to explain the script to convince those people in the General Bureau.

It's not just a matter of script, it's also about whether you have the ability to make the General Administration compromise and make concessions.

In China, perhaps only the great director Zhang Yimou can get the filming license of "Alive".

Take Jiang Wen as an example, you can understand the hardships.

Jiang Wen was ready to make his first movie as soon as he returned to China, he was not Zhang Yimou, he couldn't say a word and would attract a large amount of investment, he wanted to try to take the regular road first.

In Beijing, the Beijing Film Studio specializes in shooting feature films, and is the boss of the Beijing film and television circle.

Jiang Wen is also a first-line actor in Huaguo, and he knows many leaders of Beijing Film Studio.

He submitted the script of "Sunny Days", and as soon as people saw the background and general story of this book, they returned it, not making this kind of movie, and did not even mention the suggestions for revision.

Jiang Wen wants to use guò to tell a story of adolescent growth to show the whole magnificent era.

His heart is too ambitious, and his expression is too obvious, others can see it at a glance, if he just writes an adolescent love story, maybe he can cheat the investment first.

The main reason is that Jiang Wen is still a little proud at this time, he doesn't want to play those little tricks, and he thinks he can come as he wants.

If this road doesn't work, you can only pull investment by yourself and take the road of co-production.

This involves the Huaguo Film Co-production Company, which is entrusted by the national film department to be responsible for the management, coordination, and service of Sino-foreign co-production of films.

As long as foreign funds want to enter the domestic film market through formal channels, they need to contact this company.

They will contact overseas investment companies, and will also recommend excellent domestic film projects to play a role in matchmaking.

Jiang Wen submitted the script to the Huaguo Film Co-production Company, and when they read the script, they did not refuse, but asked to revise the script, otherwise it would be difficult to get permission to shoot through guò.

In Lin Zixuan's opinion, Jiang Wen is too sharp.

He is desperate to express his thoughts, and he doesn't know how to compromise, or he doesn't want to compromise, that's how willful he is.

Zhang Yimou is also capricious, "Alive" is more sensitive than the subject matter of "Sunny Days", he still tries his best to shoot, the only difference is that he knows how to be flexible better than Jiang Wen.

In this year, they are all willfully shooting the movies they want to make.

Zhang Yimou has already obtained the filming permit, and Jiang Wen is still painfully revising the script.

"I used to film and always felt that those scripts were really not good, if I wrote them, it would definitely be better than this, but now I finally know the reason, it's not that other people's scripts are bad, but it's strange that they can be changed so well. Jiang Wen complained.

"Where are you now, this "The Great Satan" that is being screened now, Brother Feng and I have changed it for two months, you either write a script synopsis to fool the past, or put away those unrealistic ideas. Lin Zixuan said.

"Let me think again. Jiang Wen said gloomily.

It's hard to convince a stubborn person, unless it's after he runs into a wall everywhere, Lin Zixuan doesn't plan to ignore Jiang Wen for the time being, let him try it himself first, and wait until he figures it out.

In October, the movie "The Great Satan" starring Ge You was released.

The Beijing Film Studio took the opportunity of Ge You winning the TV Golden Oriole Award for Best Actor to launch a movie, which was first screened in cinemas in the capital and then rolled out across the country.

Although it is only a niche literary film, Ge You's box office appeal should not be underestimated.

Most of the audience went to Ge You, the quality of the whole film is very high, and it can still be evocative after watching it, both the audience and the media have given praise.

To be honest, Ge You has not made much progress in this movie, and he still hasn't stepped out of his previous path, but his performance is more mature.

The surprise of "The Great Satan" is Xu Fan, an actress who has just graduated from the Beijing Drama Academy not long ago, contributed a wonderful performance, and interpreted the gentleness and tenacity of Chinese women quite delicately.

Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan took the time to watch this movie in the cinema.

"It's a pity at the end, why can't the two of them be together?" Mu Shanshan said regretfully after the end.

"It's a way for the audience to think and reminisce. Lin Zixuan explained, "The main thing is that the review can't pass, the two of them are really going to be together, then it will become promoting extramarital love, you think, if those crazy men and women who stay in the country do the same, this society is not chaotic." ”

"No matter how strong the love is, it can't stand the test of time, and the matter of feelings is really unclear. Mu Shanshan sighed.

"Don't be sentimental, it's all other people's business, it has nothing to do with us, let's live our own lives. Lin Zixuan said with a smile, "Let's go, it looks like it's going to rain this day." ”

They weave through the crowd and blend in with the city's countless ordinary people. (To be continued.) )
