Chapter 393: Finalist

The review of "Spring in a Small Town" went fairly smoothly without too many twists and turns. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the officialdom of China, there is a customary rule, that is, the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, no one reports it, or the report is not so enthusiastic, and the above basically sits idly by.

This is not a good thing, but it is the actual situation in the country at the moment.

For this film, with Zheng Dongtian's escort, there is a lot less trouble, the film is quite conservative, and there are no bed scenes and kissing scenes in it.

The only scene where there was intimate contact was when Yu Feihong and Wang Zhiwen drank alcohol, and Wang Zhiwen tried to hug Yu Feihong, but in the end, the two of them stopped and stopped.

Some people suggested that the content of the film was negative and not bright enough.

The background of the movie is the moment when the Anti-Japanese War was won and the whole country was jubilant, and at this time, it was a bit inappropriate to shoot a dead and silent town, and the emotional entanglement of one woman and two men.

Only a minority hold this opinion, and most of the members of the review committee think it is a good film.

After passing the review of the General Administration, Lin Zixuan sent the videotape in English and Italian to the Organizing Committee of the Venice Film Festival.

If nothing else, "Spring in a Small Town" will be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the film festival, and they will receive an invitation letter from the organizing committee.

This time, Lin Zixuan will take the main creator of the film to Venice together, including the five actors in the film, as well as the director and assistant director, etc., to form a large team.

This is not to rub the red carpet, but to let everyone feel the atmosphere of a large international film festival.

For example, in a large-scale international film festival, as long as the film is shortlisted for the main competition, the organizing committee will provide the director and producer with air tickets and hotel expenses, which are limited to two people, and no one else has them.

Everyone's accommodation in the past had to be paid for by the film's production unit, that is, the Good Dream Company.

Lin Zixuan can afford this expense, as long as "Spring in a Small Town" can win the award in Venice and sell it at a good price, this can be earned.

If it weren't for Mu Shanshan being too busy, he still wanted Mu Shanshan to go over together.

Mu Shanshan was indeed very busy during this time, mainly because the show "Shanshan Interview" became popular.

Those TV stations that were originally reluctant to introduce "Shanshan Interview" have plans to buy it, and Phoenix TV is the first.

After evaluating the programme, they believe that the programme is a window for overseas Chinese to understand life in the Mainland.

One is that the quality of "Shanshan's Interview" is indeed very high, and the other is the impact of the Asian financial crisis.

Phoenix Satellite TV first broadcast that episode of Mu Shanshan's interview with domestic economists, which was cited by many foreign media.

They may not know who Mu Shanshan is, but they know that this is a hot news.

Some people in China predicted the financial turmoil in Asia, so Mu Shanshan appeared on the pages of many newspapers and magazines, and foreign reporters came to Beijing to interview Mu Shanshan.

Mu Shanshan refused to be interviewed by foreign media, not because she didn't want to be famous, but because these foreign media may have unknown purposes.

As a former host of Huaguo TV, Mu Shanshan's consciousness is very high and she is quite cautious.

Besides, once the foreign media misinterprets her words, it may also have an impact on Mu Zhiyuan, and it will be worth the loss.

The best thing to do is to refuse them all, and she is still busy recording the show "Treasure Appreciation", which invisibly increases her mystery.

Foreign reporters can only get some superficial information, such as Mu Shanshan used to be a famous host of Huaguo TV, presided over China's annual Spring Festival Gala, traveled to Europe and the United States, and was familiar with the Western world.

Later, he quit his job and started his own business, and produced a number of excellent TV shows.

In their eyes, as a media person, Mu Shanshan has both the independence of Western women and the subtlety of Eastern women.

This is the first detailed report on Mu Shanshan by foreign media, but in the context of the financial turmoil, it has not caused any impact, just a news that does not leave much impression on readers.

At this time, Lin Zixuan got the news that Xu Ligong, a filmmaker from Baodao, suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized.

This is what he heard from a person who is closely connected with the film industry of Treasure Island, and he has always contacted Xu Ligong for the matter of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

I'm afraid there will be a problem now, after Xu Ligong is hospitalized, he naturally has no way to prepare a movie.

Lin Zixuan thought about it, and he decided to go to Venice, Italy next month to participate in the film festival, and then transfer to the United States after the film festival, and directly interview Li Yu to understand Li Yu's true thoughts.

Without an intermediary, it may be better to talk openly and honestly.

In order to convince Li to join the project, he needs to do some preparatory work, and convince Li that there are not only excellent actors in the mainland, but also excellent behind-the-scenes staff, who can make high-quality films.

"Spring in a Small Town" is a good example, with only 3 million investment, converted into 400,000 US dollars.

High-quality films can also be made at a low cost, and the staff members in the mainland have received systematic education in film majors, which is no worse than the staff of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Filmmakers in the mainland may not have the expertise of Hong Kong filmmakers in commercial films, but they have their own uniqueness in literary films.

He also wanted to bring Chen Daoming, Yu Feihong and others over, and everyone talked about their views on the characters in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

While Lin Zixuan sent the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to Xu Ligong, he also gave the script to Chen Daoming and others, so that they could ponder the characters in the play when they had time.

For this film project, he will definitely do it.

In mid-August, Lin Zixuan received an invitation to the Venice Film Festival, and "Spring in a Small Town" was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

This incident caused a lot of sensation in the domestic media, and reporters came to Haomeng Company for an interview, and Zhang Yimou's film was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival this time.

There are two domestic films that appear in the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival, which is enough to make the media excited.

Compared with Zhang Yimou's film, "Spring in a Small Town" is extremely low-key and has not been screened in China, and the media only knows that the main actors are Chen Daoming, Wang Zhiwen and Zhang Guoli.

When these three people get together in one movie, you can imagine how wonderful it is.

Facing reporters, Yu Dong was interviewed, and he emphasized that "Spring in a Small Town" is a film invested and produced by Haomeng Company, and it is a literary film, in addition to Chen Daoming and the three, there are two actresses, Yu Feihong and Xu Jinglei.

The director of the film is Zheng Dongtian, the producer is Tian Zhuangzhuang, the producer is Lin Zixuan, and the producer is Han Sanping.

Although the General Administration did not pursue the matter of Tian Xiang, it should be low-key when it should be low-key, and don't ask for trouble.

"Being shortlisted is an honor, and whether you can win the award depends on luck." Yu Dong said. (To be continued.) )
