PS: Thank you for the precious monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Haotian God Emperor"!!

Lin Zhimo still had a smile on his face after going downstairs and returning to the company, which made Huo Xiwen very curious: "Zhimo, why do you look very happy, did you meet Director Chen smoothly this time?" ”

"Smooth? No, it didn't go well at all, and Director Chen and I didn't even say more than five sentences in total at the wine table, including the one that introduced ourselves. Lin Zhimo was in a very relaxed mood because of Zeng Mengquan's big backer, and said with a smile and wiped Huo Xiwen's smooth and delicate chin.

"Go, don't do anything in the company." Although he has been honest with Lin Zhimo countless times, Huo Xiwen is still a little shy about Lin Zhimo's intimate actions.

With a slightly red face, he pushed away Lin Zhimo's hand and said angrily: "Then why are you still so happy, you won't be stimulated, right?" ”

Lin Zhimo grinned, pointed to his cheek and said, "Sister Wen, if you express it, I'll tell you the reason." ”

Huo Xiwen glanced at Lin Zhimo angrily: "I won't do this kind of thing, do you like to say it or not!" She knew that the matter was obviously done, so she directly rejected Lin Zhimo's unreasonable request.

Lin Zhimo shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Sister Wen, do you remember what happened in my house a few days ago?" ”

Huo Xiwen nodded: "Of course you know, didn't you recognize an uncle and grandfather who hadn't met for decades, why, today's matter has something to do with them?" ”

Huo Xiwen's thinking was very sharp, and he deduced from Lin Zhimo's tone that today's incident should be related to the newly recognized family. And it's a good thing.

“Bingo！ Sister Wen, you are right, today I met an uncle from my uncle's grandfather's family, if I guessed correctly, he should be a deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department. Lin Zhimo was in the hotel, because the ups and downs of things had changed a lot, so he didn't have time to ask Yuan Delong what his cheap uncle was, but on the way back, he also thought about it.

Although Yanjing City claims to throw a stone at the head of the department, there are not many ministers who can make a department-level deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television go to the minister, only those departments directly under the central government, and the most likely is the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of China, which directly leads the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and CCTV!

Lin Zhimo believes that his uncle should not be the minister of the Central Propaganda Department, otherwise he should often see the other party on TV, then the only possibility is the deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department.

"Deputy Minister of the Central Propaganda Department!" Huo Xiwen gasped. A pair of beautiful eyes full of incredulity. Although he is a native of Xiangjiang. But Huo Xiwen, who has lived on the mainland for a long time, already knows how much power an official at the level of vice minister has on the mainland, let alone a vice minister of the leading body directly under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

"Zhimo, if that's really the case, as long as you don't make some reactionary films. Then no matter what work you produce in the future, you won't have any problems! Huo Xiwen said excitedly.

When Lin Zhimo heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face: "Yes." When I went to a family dinner the other day, I just knew that my uncle and the uncle who was a soldier were both officials. But I was embarrassed to ask about the specific identity, but I didn't expect to give me such a big surprise today! ”

A few days ago, after Lin Zhimo's grandfather Lin Yuezong agreed with his grandmother to visit Zeng Yufu, Lin Zhimo's family met with Zeng Yufu's family the next day. During the period, it was naturally full of warmth after various reunions, especially Zeng Yujing and Zeng Yufu, two brothers and sisters, dozens of years old, who still hugged each other and cried.

But despite this, there is inevitably a little strangeness between the two families, so there is no detailed inquiry about each other's identities. In contrast, Lin Zhimo has become the most well-known person in this family.

Zeng Yufu has two sons, the eldest son Zeng Songquan and the youngest son Zeng Mengquan.

Zeng Songquan is now serving in the army, and the specific position Lin Zhimo's family is not clear. Zeng Songquan also has a son, who is now studying in college in the United States, and is said to be an intern manager of a multinational company.

Zeng Mengquan is the deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, and he has a daughter with the famous singer Zhang Yuan, but she is much younger than Lin Yumo, and now she is only a teenager and is still in elementary school.

The reason why Lin Zhimo didn't want to meet Zeng Songquan was entirely because his uncle, who was a soldier, was very drunk, and he drank a lot of alcohol, although he was almost fifty years old now, he was not much better than Lin Zhimo when he drank alcohol, and it was precisely because of this that Lin Zhimo would be reluctant to go when Zeng Mengquan said that there was Zeng Songquan tonight.

At the last family banquet, Lin Zhimo, as the only male in the younger generation, naturally undertook the task of pouring wine and toasting, so Zeng Songquan saw Lin Zhimo's amount of alcohol, and insisted on having a try with Lin Zhimo, and finally Lin Zhimo and the two of them drank five bottles of liquor, Zeng Songquan finally shouted and fell under the table.

Although Lin Zhimo was only a little dizzy, far from the point where I didn't walk the wall, he was still a little apprehensive about fighting with Zeng Songquan, because Zeng Songquan was completely in a desperate posture when he drank wine, and that courage alone made Lin Zhimo feel uncomfortable.

But no matter how much reluctance Lin Zhimo has in his heart, he is going to the family banquet tonight, not to mention that the two families have just recognized their relatives, Lin Zhimo must go based on Zeng Mengquan's words at noon, and Zeng Songquan must be accompanied tonight.

So when the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television called the next morning, Lin Zhimo was still lying on the bed with a red face, and the breath exhaled from his mouth still had a strong smell of alcohol.

"Zhimo, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television called us to send the film for review again." In the afternoon, Huo Xiwen said to Lin Zhimo, who had just sobered up.

"Oh, really?" Lin Zhimo shook his head hard, wanting to eliminate the effect of the hangover: "It seems that Director Chen's reaction is very fast." ”

Huo Xiwen nodded and smiled: "I also asked someone, your minister's uncle is indeed the deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department." is still the executive deputy minister, and it is very likely to become the next head of the Central Propaganda Department, so that Director Chen will be very good at letting us re-send it for review. ”

Lin Zhimo smiled: "Since Director Chen asked us to submit it for review, we can't change anything...... Let's change the soundtrack. ”

"Poof".

When Huo Xiwen heard the first half of Lin Zhimo's sentence, he really thought that Lin Zhimo wanted to change something, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Zhimo's forehead and said, "You, it's really bad!" ”

Lin Zhimo spread his hands innocently: "I really don't know how to change it." ”

There is no doubt that the review was passed quickly, and the news that the film passed the review was told by Director Chen in person, and Director Chen also sent an invitation to Lin Zhimo for dinner on the phone.

Lin Zhimo naturally didn't think that with Zeng Mengquan's big backer, he could pick his nose and eyes at Director Chen, so he accepted Director Chen's invitation very happily on the phone. During the banquet, the two of them were naturally guests and hosts. Director Chen achieved his goal of befriending Lin Zhimo. And Lin Zhimo finally got a hint from Director Chen - as long as Lin Zhimo's movie is not pressed, then the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will give the green light.

After the film passed the review, the big stone that had been hanging in Lin Zhimo's heart fell to the ground, and then Lin Zhimo sent the film to the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee non-stop. Selected films for this year's Berlin Film Festival. As for what the result was, Lin Zhimo no longer cared. With the current power of Lin Zhimo. can't touch foreign film forces, so he can only do his best to obey the fate of God.

……

"Zhimo, it's time for us to think about how to promote the movie." After Lin Zhimo returned to China, Huo Xiwen found Lin Zhimo and said.

"Hmm. Yes, Sister Wen, have you come up with any great ideas? "Now that the film has passed the review, it's time to start the scheduling and promotion.

"No, the most important thing is that the topic of our movie is a bit too heavy, and some promotion methods that can be promoted through small games and winning the lottery are not suitable for publicity, so we can only follow the most traditional methods." Huo Xiwen has also done a lot of homework recently, and has also considered a lot of methods, but in the end, after comparison, it is more prudent to choose traditional promotion.

"That's it......" Lin Zhimo didn't expect this to happen because of the subject matter.

Even from a global perspective, the box office of literary films is not high. Why? First, because the content of literary films is mainly about the truth of some things, there is not much storytelling, and the audience doesn't like to watch it; Another reason is that the publicity and promotion are not strong.

Even if a non-bullshit movie is promoted with full coverage, it will generate a certain amount of box office, but because of its own investment and content restrictions, literary films simply can't get enough funds for investment and promotion, so the box office is not high.

"Actually, there is still a way......" Seeing Lin Zhimo's deeply furrowed brows, Huo Xiwen said softly.

"Oh?" Lin Zhimo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at Huo Xiwen with blazing eyes.

"Have you forgotten how those small-budget independent films in the United States are promoted?" Huo Xiwen said to Lin Zhimo with a playful smile.

"Ahh I see! Lin Zhimo slapped his forehead and sighed.

What to do with some low-budget films in the United States that have neither the funds nor the channels for promotion?

Answer: Awards!

There is a famous film festival in the United States called "Sundance International Film Festival", this film festival is a film festival specially set up for some unknown filmmakers and films, and as long as you win some awards at this film festival, then it can be said that there are a lot of media for you to promote for free, maybe not too long, but the popularity has started, and at the worst, there will be some distribution companies to buy out your work.

Lin Zhimo's film did not pass the review at that time, so Lin Zhimo did not send it to the United States, but now it is the same at the Berlin Film Festival, even if it does not win any awards, as long as it can enter the official competition unit, it is very good.

That's the idea that Hoshwen hit.

Don't think that now that Lin Zhimo has just sent the movie over, he can't promote it without even knowing the most basic results. There are so many true and false things in the entertainment industry, how many people will be more real in the end? That's all I want.

As long as the movie "Don't Talk to Strangers" is always associated with the Berlin Film Festival when promoting, even if Lin Zhimo doesn't gain anything in the end, the fame of this movie has also been hit. It can be said that this can be regarded as a marketing method, and no one will pay attention to the slogan when it was first promoted, and Lin Zhimo will naturally not be stupid enough to leave any handle when it is promoted.

"Sister Wen, I'll leave this matter to you." Lin Zhimo thought of the benefits and said with a smile.

"I knew you would say that!" Huo Xiwen raised his eyebrows: "Forget it, since you handed over this matter to me, then you can refer to the investment plan of this film in detail." ”

As he spoke, he threw a document on Lin Zhimo's chest.

Lin Zhimo pretended to be painful and snorted, and then opened a film investment plan.

"Ulantana?" Lin Zhimo couldn't help but glance up at Huo Xiwen and said, "Sister Wen, you won't accept a bribe from Brother Sanbao, right?" (To be continued......)
