PS: Thank you for the valuable monthly ticket voted by the book friend "Little Residence Teacher"!!

Lin Zhimo is now holding an investment plan for a film called "Warm Spring", which is a film about family love directed by Mongolian director Ulantana.

Because in "Don't Talk to Strangers", the score is performed by Sanbao, a Mongolian, Huo Xiwen also knows each other, and Sanbao and Ulantana are also very familiar with each other, so Lin Zhimo ridiculed Huo Xiwen for accepting bribes from Sanbao.

But having said that, Lin Zhimo didn't think so in his heart, and when he read this document, he asked with some hesitation: "Sister Wen, can this kind of movie recover its cost?" ”

"That's up to you to advertise." Huo Xiwen said: "Anyway, the investment is not very large, even if you lose money, you can't lose much, especially now that you have this relationship with Director Chen, you should be subsidized by some national film special funds." ”

Seeing Huo Xiwen wink at himself, Lin Zhimo also showed a smile on his face: "Well, robbing the rich and helping the poor is my consistent purpose as a man, at least investing in this film is much better than shooting those movies that don't know the so-called main theme, isn't it?" ”

The film plan of "Warm Spring" is indeed very exquisite, which not only has the introduction of the script and actors, but also includes several storyboard drawings by Ulantana. Of course, the most important thing is what Huo Xiwen said, the investment in this film is not high, that is, it can be won for about 3 million yuan, and if the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television approves the film subsidy, then the cost will be less.

The Spring Festival Gala in 2002 soon kicked off. The singer and lyricist of the theme song of Lin Zhimo's Olympic bid sang a song "Beyond Dreams" alone.

To be honest, Lin Zhimo likes this song, but compared to the song "becausewebelieve" written by Shakira, Lin Zhimo always feels that the momentum of this song is not enough.

"Hello, Shakira, how are you doing?" Lin Zhimo would discuss a few sentences with her if there was any musical melody in his mind on weekdays, but because of the time difference, the two always didn't talk enough. There is always a sense of regret that cannot be fulfilled.

“Hey。 Lin, I was just going to call you, you know? I just wrote a really nice tune, you listen to ......" after answering the phone. Shakira didn't answer Lin Zhimo immediately. Instead, he began to talk about a song he had recently written in a flash of inspiration.

"Oh. Is it? That's amazing! But is it possible to change it a little bit a third of the time......" Lin Zhimo immediately converted it into a simple score in his mind after hearing Shakira's voice on the phone, and after a little thought, he put forward his own opinion.

"Change? What do you mean to say......" Shakira did not stubbornly insist on her own opinion when she heard Lin Zhimo's opinion, but obediently listened to Lin Zhimo's opinion. Maybe she didn't realize that the reason why she reacted this way was not right or wrong, but just a knee-jerk reaction.

In this way, the two discussed things about music with each other, and time passed slowly, and after hanging up the phone, Lin Zhimo let out a long breath, and a desire to collaborate with Shakira on a song suddenly rose in his heart.

Lin Zhimo's future is bound to go abroad, and the easiest way to make a name for himself abroad is to participate in the production of a foreign blockbuster, or sing a song with a well-known singer. And now in terms of movies, although Lin Zhimo has gained some fame by relying on his status as a Berlin actor, it is still worse to participate in Hollywood's A-level productions, so the best way now is to cooperate with well-known singers.

"But that's something to think about." Lin Zhimo thought about it for a while and then gave up thinking, after all, even Shakira's fame in the United States is not so good so far, and she can only be regarded as a first-line singer at present, and she is still a step away from a superstar.

And if you want to rely on the cooperation with Shakira to become well-known in the United States, then it means that Lin Zhimo must come up with a song that can become an instant hit, a song that can directly establish Lin Zhimo's status as a top musician.

But how can such a song be said to be able to be taken out? So far, among so many classic songs written by Lin Zhimo, there are only a few songs that can be called the top songs of this kind, not to mention that he is still writing English songs that are completely different from Chinese songs.

But I'm afraid that there is no direction for everything, now that I have a general direction, then all that remains is to keep running hard in this direction, maybe it will be very tiring at first, it will be a little slow, but as long as you persevere, there will be a day to reach your destination!

……

Not long after the Spring Festival, Lin Zhimo received news from Berlin that "Don't Talk to Strangers" was officially shortlisted for the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival and participated in the competition for the Golden Bear Award!

After Lin Zhimo learned the news, he immediately instructed Huo Xiwen: "Sister Wen, immediately increase the publicity of the film, and at the same time set the screening date for mid-March. ”

It was set in mid-March to catch the ride of Women's Day, and to take advantage of the hottest discussion about women in society at that time to launch this film that reflects the harm of women in family life, in order to receive the maximum viewing effect and strive for the maximum box office revenue.

After hanging up the phone with Huo Xiwen, Lin Zhimo called the actors in the crew to inform them one by one, and then asked if he would like to go to Berlin for a walk, yes, just a walk. Although Lin Zhimo is very confident in his film, he doesn't think that the first film he shot can win the Golden Bear Award back, and Lin Zhimo, the Silver Bear who can win a special jury award, will be overjoyed.

Before the opening of the Berlin Film Festival, Lin Zhimo left for Berlin, and he came to sell the foreign rights of his film.

Standing at the door of the film market hall, Lin Zhimo was full of emotion, remembering that when he came here for the first time, it was not for Wang Xiaoshuai's help. I was afraid that he would be blasted out by the security guards as a troublemaker, but now he walked in as a movie seller.

Lin Zhimo has no idea how much money can be bought for the movie "Don't Talk to Strangers", after all, he has no experience in negotiating with foreign manufacturers, selling movies, or even shooting movies, so Lin Zhimo simply made a hands-off shopkeeper, and the business was completely handed over to professionals, and he only listened and did not talk about it on the sidelines.

By the day the Berlin Film Festival officially opened, the film "Don't Talk to Strangers" had sold the rights to more than a dozen countries, including Spain, France, and Germany, with a total income of about one million euros. After all, Lin Zhimo is a newcomer, and it is also a film from China. So the transaction price is very low.

But even so, it is converted into 10 million yuan.

When this movie was filmed, Lin Zhimo planned to make it a masterpiece. Therefore, whether it is the venue or props, Lin Zhimo uses the best, and strives to be flawless, so in addition to the cost of the publicity that is still in progress, the investment in the whole movie has reached nearly 20 million. But half of the cost has now been recovered.

"It's no wonder that those directors always have to work hard to make up for foreign awards. It turned out that it was not for fame. It's for profit. Lin Zhimo shook his head slightly and smiled.

There are some things that you will never know if you are not personally involved.

"Sister Li, this film festival is just the two of us being each other's company." After picking up Gong Li from the airport, Lin Zhimo smiled at Gong Li and said.

Because the other members of the crew didn't have much expectations for whether the movie could win the award, and Lin Zhimo didn't strictly require them to come over to promote it. So only Lin Zhimo and Gong Li participated in this Berlin Film Festival.

Hearing the implicit meaning of Lin Zhimo's words, Gong Li glanced at Lin Zhimo with annoyance and said, "Zhimo, let me tell you, you are not allowed to have any bad ideas. ”

"How could I be crooked." Lin Zhimo patted his chest and swore solemnly: "I have so much respect for Sister Li, how can I have a wrong idea!" ”

"It's strange to believe you." Gong Li directly ignored Lin Zhimo's oath and walked forward.

Gong Li was indeed right, Lin Zhimo's words could never be believed, and on the night of his arrival in Berlin, Lin Zhimo knocked on Gong Li's door.

The door opened a crack slightly, and before Gong Li could speak, Lin Zhimo squeezed into the room, and then closed the door with a backhand, supporting the wall with both hands and squeezing Gong Li against the wall.

"I ...... As I said, you are not allowed to make up your mind. Gong Li felt the bursts of hot breath exhaled from Lin Zhimo's mouth and nose, and even smelled the masculine masculine breath coming from Lin Zhimo's body, her body was a little weak, and she leaned against the wall tightly and said in a weak tone.

"Sister Li, I didn't have a bad idea...... Lin Zhimo gently pinched Gong Li's round chin when shopping, and chuckled, "I'm just going to take advantage of Sister Li." ”

"You...... Bummer! Gong Li glared at Lin Zhimo angrily and stretched out his hand to push Lin Zhimo violently, wanting to push him away, but Lin Zhimo violently wrapped around his waist, and at the same time, the cherry mouth was roughly occupied by Lin Zhimo.

Regarding the relationship between himself and Gong Li, Lin Zhimo couldn't say clearly. Let's say it's lovers, the number of phone calls between the two is very small; Let's say it's an ordinary friend, there have been several times between the two of them who have begone far beyond the boundaries of friends. The most recent one was during the filming of a movie, Lin Zhimo and Gong Li had a crazy role-play, and the two had a hearty battle between themselves as characters in the play.

Facing Gong Li, a woman with a bumpy emotional experience, Lin Zhimo couldn't say the words "I love you", because Lin Zhimo felt that these three words would be a kind of shackle for Gong Li. She is like an elf walking in the world, but for some reason she temporarily stopped by Lin Zhimo's side, sooner or later, maybe because of boredom, maybe because of exhaustion, she will leave Lin Zhimo's side and start her lonely journey again.

After the cloud and rain, Gong Li slumped in Lin Zhimo's arms and said, "Zhimo, I heard that you have climbed the high branch now?" ”

Lin Zhimo's hand, which was originally wandering around on Gong Li's bumpy carcass, suddenly stopped, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Li, isn't this called climbing high branches, okay?" ”

After speaking, Lin Zhimo did not hide it, and told the other party about his experience during this time.

"Deputy Minister of the Central Propaganda Department?!" Rao was also stunned by Gong Li's determination, after all, he grew up in China, and the idea of official status is still deep-rooted, not to mention a deputy minister-level official, even a department-level official is enough to make these stars look up.

Seeing Gong Li's shocked appearance, Lin Zhimo climbed the two soft peaks with both hands again, and joked in his mouth: "Yes, Sister Li, serve me well, otherwise I will ban you if you are careful." ”

With a sigh, Gong Li was amused by Lin Zhimo's skillful methods, but her mouth refused to admit defeat and said: "I don't, I'm about to change my nationality, and even if your relatives are national leaders, they won't be able to control me at that time." ”

"Really?" Lin Zhimo suddenly pinched his hands lightly, and the two bulging grapes were immediately pinched into a flat shape by Lin Zhimo.

"Ahh

Gong Li's legs straightened suddenly, and her mouth let out a comfortable moan, but with her age, she naturally knew what to say at this time to better arouse Lin Zhimo's interest, so she frowned and said stubbornly: "I won't!" ”

Sure enough, seeing Gong Li's appearance of "I'd rather die than obey", Lin Zhimo knew that Gong Li was lying, but a strong desire to conquer still inevitably rose in his heart. Turning over and pressing on Gong Li's delicate body, Lin Zhimo's hands became more urgent, sometimes light, sometimes heavy, sometimes urgent, and sometimes slowly, constantly teasing Gong Li's sensitive belt and asking: "Sister Li, if you beg for mercy now, I can make you more comfortable." ”

"I ...... I, I'm not convinced. Gong Li grabbed the white sheet with both hands, her body trembled from time to time under Lin Zhimo's teasing, and the green silk on her forehead was also wet with sweat, but she still bit her lower lip and said stubbornly.

"Sister Li, then I'm going to be punished!" Lin Zhimo's eyes flashed, and he started the conquest on Gong Li again.

"You, just come...... I, I'm not afraid of you! Gong Li's voice trembled slightly.

Acceleration of action.

"Sister Li, how is it, are you convinced?"

"No, I...... Resolutely refused. Gong Li only felt that she was about to reach the peak, but suddenly she felt a void below, and the whole person seemed to be hanging in the air and couldn't get up and down.

She opened her eyes slightly, and then saw Lin Zhimo looking at her with a wicked smile.

"Sister Li, are you still not convinced, can I go?"

"Zhimo, sister...... Served! ”

couldn't stand the needs of her body anymore, and Gong Li finally "succumbed" to Lin Zhimo's obscenity.

Naturally, the next thing is full of spring. (To be continued......)
