Sitting on the plane back to the capital, Lin Zixuan thought about last night's Academy Awards.
For him, he was a pure spectator, watching a very good show, and he didn't take the opportunity to make friends with the bigwigs in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, nor did he get to know those big directors and big stars.
He just sat on the sidelines and waited for the award ceremony to end, with a few Cantonese songs singing well in the middle.
It's not that he pretends to be high, but he doesn't think it's necessary, even if he runs over to introduce himself, others won't remember him.
The key to whether he can be taken seriously is to see if he has capital, and he does not have that capital yet.
Lin Zixuan is not without gains, through last night's Academy Awards, he has a preliminary understanding of Xiangjiang filmmakers in this era......
In the past year, more than 300 films have been produced in Hong Kong, with a single film grossing more than 40 million, and there are 119 cinemas in Hong Kong, providing more than 120,000 seats.
Hong Kong filmmakers have very different attitudes towards the mainland and Hollywood.
They yearn for Hollywood, and the bigwigs of the film companies want to cooperate with Hollywood studios and invest in American films.
The big directors and big stars of Hong Kong want to develop in Hollywood, and they do not hesitate to play supporting roles for this.
As for the mainland, directors from Hong Kong will bring their behind-the-scenes staff with them when they go to the mainland to film, because they feel that they can't find professional film practitioners in the mainland.
They even complain that mainland staff take a nap, which affects their work.
In their impression, the filming environment in the mainland was very bad, and the crew would be watched by the crowd, and they had to call the police to maintain order in order to shoot normally.
In short, they believe that the staff in the mainland are unprofessional and inefficient, and the film industry is extremely backward.
Lin Zixuan pondered these questions, some of which did exist, and some of which were caused by different concepts.
In China's film and television education institutions, such as the Beijing Film Academy, the courses taught are all art films, and the directors who come out shoot are also art films.
This is a different approach from commercial films in Hong Kong, and it cannot be said that mainland filmmakers are unprofessional, it can only be said that they are not familiar with how to shoot commercial films.
As a newcomer who has just entered the film industry, Lin Zixuan still has a lot to learn.
However, he knows that if mainland films want to develop and grow, it is of little use to rely on art films to win a few awards in the international film industry, they cannot open up the market, and they cannot form a scale, and they will eventually have to take the road of commercial films.
Especially commercial blockbusters, they can compete with Hollywood movies.
If you use art films and Hollywood blockbusters to fight the box office, it is a complete tragedy to hit a stone with an egg.
Thinking of this, Lin Zixuan sighed in his heart that domestic films are still in their infancy, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
He looked at Jiang Wen, who was sitting not far away.
At this time, Jiang Wen was a little homesick, and he was in a hurry to rush back to the capital to prepare for his first film, and to do a great job in the director's business, he was ready to go to various middle schools and military compounds in the capital to select fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys.
They want the kind of sturdy, healthy, mischievous boys and women with wild eyes in their eyes.
In Jiang Wen's impression, the children in the compound in the 70s were the kind of people who were not afraid of the sky, the earth, and dared to do anything.
In order to truly restore that era, he planned to put these children in the barracks for a closed training.
They were not allowed to watch television, practice military drills every day, recite revolutionary quotations, listen to revolutionary songs, watch old movies from the sixties, and completely immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the early seventies.
He believes that only in this way can he capture the flavor of that era, pure and full of revolutionary passion.
Listening to Jiang Wen's ambitious talk about his shooting plan, Lin Zixuan had a hunch that although this shooting was in the capital and was his own territory, the difficulty was by no means easier than filming "Beijing People in New York" in the United States.
When he returned to the capital, it was not yet noon, and he said goodbye to Jiang Wen at the airport, and he took the bus home.
Mu Shanshan went to work today, there was no one at home, Lin Zixuan opened his luggage, put the clothes away, and the gifts he brought back from Xiangjiang, which was indispensable for every business trip.
Now that the family has a small amount of savings, they don't need to be as frugal in their expenses as before.
Last night's awards ceremony was too late, and then he and Jiang Wen went to the food stalls in Xiangjiang to drink and eat supper, but they didn't sleep well, he felt very tired, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
In a daze, Lin Zixuan heard a noise outside, so he got up and looked, and saw Mu Shanshan working in the house.
"Wake up, haven't you eaten lunch yet?" Mu Shanshan said with concern.
"No, I squinted for a while." Lin Zixuan yawned and said lazily.
"Wash your face and eat, I'm done." Mu Shanshan urged.
"You didn't go to work, it's not time to get off work." Lin Zixuan glanced at the table clock, it was only past three o'clock in the afternoon, and said suspiciously.
"You didn't answer the call at noon, so I came back to take a look, and I didn't call you when I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I asked for leave." Mu Shanshan responded.
Lin Zixuan thought about it for a while, and seemed to hear the phone ringing in his sleep, but he ignored it, he washed his face, Mu Shanshan brought the food, and the two of them ate together, chatting about this trip to Xiangjiang.
"1 million US dollars, you really dare to break it blindly, people will understand as soon as they come to the capital to inquire, you are all novices at all, what does it matter." Mu Shanshan said with emotion.
"We're right, Jiang Wen is in the film industry, I'm in the TV circle, you're in the TV station, don't we have anything to do with it anywhere, don't worry, even if he comes to the capital, he can't figure out the door." Lin Zixuan said nonchalantly.
is not a native of the capital, not a person in the real circle, it is not easy to figure out the entertainment industry in the capital.
"It's a movie again, and you still have to take care of the art center, are you busy?" Mu Shanshan said worriedly.
"The art center has been arranged, I don't need to worry too much, the filming location of this film is in the capital, and it is not difficult to find a military compound." Lin Zixuan explained, "By the way, have you contacted Gong Li? ”
"The show has been recorded, she is in a hurry to film, and the process is a bit rushed." Mu Shanshan said regretfully.
Generally speaking, the selection of a topic for a talk show requires preliminary preparations, and the more fully prepared, the better the program effect.
For example, find the tidbits of Gong Li's previous films, go to the School of Drama to interview Gong Li's teacher, and classmates in the same class as Gong Li, so as to introduce the growth history of this international star in detail and comprehensively.
"You didn't ask her about relationships, did you?" Lin Zixuan said curiously.
"No, it's all about the movie, it's communicated in advance, I'm a cultural program, how can I gossip as much as you think." Mu Shanshan said dissatisfied.
After eating, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them sat at home for a while, and then went out with gifts. (To be continued.) )
