Chapter 209: Failure to Review

"Oriental Entertainment Weekly" moved quickly, and less than a week after returning from the interview, they published the first special issue of their weekly newspaper, and at the same time did not forget to send a copy to Lin Zhimo.

On the cover are four pictures of Lin Zhimo's different looks lined up side by side - the leftmost one is a singer holding a microphone, the second to the right is an actor in ancient costumes, the third is a director standing behind the camera, and the fourth is an entrepreneur sitting behind the boss's desk in a suit and tie.

Every picture was taken by them very exquisitely, and even with Lin Zhimo's eyes, they couldn't find anything wrong at all.

Turning the cover page, on the left side of the title page is a large half-length picture of Lin Zhimo smiling indifferently, in which Lin Zhimo is wearing a white T-shirt and a string of jade necklaces around his neck.

On the right side of the title page is the content of the personal resume style, which introduces Lin Zhimo's height and age in detail, and lists the exhibition of Lin Zhimo's representative works.

Although it is a special issue, perhaps because of the inaugural issue, "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" obviously wants a good start, so the content in it is full of weight, not only there are many photos of Lin Zhimo before, but also a tidbit of Lin Zhimo's usual filming of film and television works.

As soon as this special issue was launched, it immediately caused a frenzy of all Lin Zhimo fans, and after the first batch of 50,000 copies were sold, it was necessary to print another 50,000 copies for the second time to meet the market demand.

"Editor Sun, you need to thank me well." After the sales came out, Editor Sun specially made a phone call to Lin Zhimo to report the good news, and Lin Zhimo joked when he heard this sales figure.

"Haha. It must be, next time Mr. Lin comes to Xia Hai, I will definitely be the east! But this also shows how popular you are at the moment, Mr. Lin. Sun Yaohai's words revealed cordiality.

Although he said that he wanted to choose Lin Zhimo when he chose the cover of the inaugural issue, in fact, there were still different opinions in the newspaper, but now as soon as the sales results of more than 100,000 copies came out, all the questioners had nothing to say, which made Sun Yaohai a great glory in front of the newspaper president.

In Sun Yaohai's view, Lin Zhimo seems to have become his lucky star, and when he met Lin Zhimo for the first time, he asserted that he would become the editor-in-chief of the revised weekly newspaper, but he didn't expect the prophecy to come true; This interview was also because Sun Yaohai personally led the team because he supported Lin Zhimo in the newspaper, but he didn't expect this contact to prove the correctness of his vision.

It is said that the owner of the newspaper is already considering whether to promote him to vice president, which makes Sun Yaohai always have a kind of humility when he talks to Lin Zhimo again.

"Huh. It's not just a sign of how popular I am. It also proves that your newspaper has taken the right step, and at the same time shows how discerning your boss's vision is. Lin Zhimo understands the truth of the sedan chair carrying people, and he also praised Sun Yaohai.

Lin Zhimo and Sun Yaohai were answering the phone when they heard a knock on the door of their office, and the sound was still very urgent. Then I saw Huo Xiwen come in with a calm face.

"Edited by Sun. I have some business to attend to. I'll talk to you next time. ”

"Okay, then Mr. Lin is busy, I won't bother you. Good bye. ”

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhimo asked, "Sister Wen, what's wrong?" ”

Huo Xiwen handed a piece of paper to Lin Zhimo and said, "The film review did not pass." ”

A few days ago, Lin Zhimo completed the post-production of the film, and then sent it to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review non-stop, in order to catch up with next year's Berlin Film Festival, but he didn't expect Huo Xiwen to bring such a news now.

"Didn't pass?!"

Lin Zhimo asked rhetorically, quickly took the document and looked at it, and after a while, he laughed angrily: "What does this mean?" What is the deliberate scandalization of a harmonious social environment, which is not conducive to social unity? What a big hat! ”

Huo Xiwen also rubbed his brows and sighed: "I have also contacted the bureau, it is said that the chief judge of the movie script did not pass this time, thinking that there are too many scenes about insulting women in our movie, and we need to delete them." ”

"Delete them all?!" Lin Zhimo slapped the table and said angrily: "Delete this film, what's left!" ”

Huo Xiwen saw Lin Zhimo's anger and hurriedly persuaded: "Zhimo, don't be angry, calm down first and think about how to deal with things, calm down!" ”

Lin Zhimo let out a long sigh of relief when he heard this, he was concerned and confused, after all, Lin Zhimo still had high hopes for his first movie, perhaps because of the type of film, Lin Zhimo did not have much expectations for the final box office of this film, but he still had a lot of ambitions for the artistic aspect of the film.

Lin Zhimo walked out from behind the wide desk, thought for a while and asked, "Sister Wen, what do you mean by this, there was no problem when the original script was sent, why is the film stuck now?" ”

Huo Xiwen thought for a moment and guessed, "Are they asking us for benefits?" ”

Lin Zhimo's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he said: "Even if we ask for benefits, we can't give them, otherwise we won't be able to stop the car as soon as this opening is opened, and they will get stuck with us from time to time after they taste the benefits...... In this way, I will contact director Yuan Delong and see what his opinion is? ”

Lin Zhimo took out his mobile phone and dialed Yuan Delong's number.

"Uncle Yuan, it's me, Zhimo. How is your health lately? I haven't seen you in a while...... It's okay, everything is fine, but this recent film review has been reviewed except for some minor problems...... Okay, okay, then I'll wait for your news. Lin Zhimo told Yuan Delong about these situations and hung up the phone.

"Zhimo, how's it going? What did Director Yuan Delong say? Huo Xiwen asked with concern.

"It's hard to say now, Director Yuan said that this kind of thing generally doesn't happen, if it happens, there are only two reasons, one is that we offended the people inside, and the other is what we just analyzed, and I want to take this opportunity to get stuck." Lin Zhimo said to Huo Xiwen.

"So what do we do now?" Huo Xiwen frowned and asked.

"Wait." Lin Zhimo sighed: "I can only wait." ”

Half an hour later, Lin Zhimo received a call from Yuan Delong.

"Zhimo, something is wrong this time. Do you remember the Golden Eagle Festival some time ago? Yuan Delong's tone was a little low.

Lin Zhimo was stunned in his heart: "Remember, Uncle Yuan, does this have anything to do with us?" ”

Yuan Delong said: "Tell you that you don't understand, simply put, because a leader in the bureau was involved in the Golden Eagle Festival, and now he has been dismissed, and then a new leader has been transferred......"

"Three fires for the new official?" Lin Zhimo smiled bitterly.

"Yes, unfortunately, this fire has burned on our heads." Yuan Delong was also helpless about this.

The rules in officialdom, when a newly appointed official first arrives at that position, he usually establishes his authority through some things, and the film submitted by Lin Zhimo for review unfortunately became the chicken in the other party's methods of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys.

"Then Uncle Yuan, can't we do anything?" Lin Zhimo asked a little unwillingly, this film embodies a lot of his hard work, but Lin Zhimo will not give up if there is a slight opportunity.

"Alas, it's hard to say...... I'm trying to figure out how to get in touch with each other. Yuan Delong didn't have expectations for this, but he also knew that Lin Zhimo attached great importance to this film, so he said: "But Zhimo, don't worry too much, this matter shouldn't be his intention, at most next summer, even if you don't change a shot, this movie will definitely pass the review." ”

Lin Zhimo was relieved when he heard this, but when he thought that if it was next summer, no one knew what would happen, and he felt a wave of irritability in his heart, but he still expressed his gratitude to Yuan Delong.

"The result?" Huo Xiwen had been waiting for the latest news in Lin Zhimo's office, and when she saw Lin Zhimo hang up the phone, she immediately asked.

Lin Zhimo sat on the sofa with his head resting on the back of the sofa and repeated Yuan Delong's words.

"Zhimo, if it is put to next year to pass the review, what will be the impact on the film?" Huo Xiwen and Lin Zhimo were also a little relaxed, after all, the other party was not specifically targeting Lin Zhimo.

Lin Zhimo spread his hands and said: "Who can say for sure, maybe it will still pass, maybe it will pass but it must be revised on a large scale, just like "Zhou Yu's Train", or maybe it will pass the review smoothly, nothing ......."

"Zhou Yu's Train" completed post-production as early as last month, but again, it was rejected by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which believes that the scale of the film's passion scene is a bit large and needs to be revised. But Sun Zhou is not a good director, and there is something behind it, so he got into a fight with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

After going back and forth until now, it has not passed the review, but this process has inspired Sun Zhou to another inspiration, so he simply discussed with Lin Zhimo, Gong Li and others again to reshoot some shots next year, and then send them for review.

Lin Zhimo didn't want his movie to end up with the same result as "Zhou Yu's Train", but he also knew that this matter would not come to an end in a hurry.

Although Lin Zhimo was worried about this matter in his heart, he didn't bring a bad mood into the house at all, and when he got home, he still talked and smiled as usual.

"Brother, is there something wrong with our company's movies?" Lin Zhimo didn't speak, but Lin Yumo saw something, and after eating, he pulled Lin Zhimo aside and asked.

"How do you know?" Lin Zhimo was surprised, except for a few directors of the company, no one else knew about this matter, but he didn't expect Lin Yumo to know it now.

"Hmph, don't underestimate your sister!"

Lin Yumo pointed to his big black and bright eyes and said: "I saw Sister Wen enter your office with a solemn face today, and then sat for a long time before coming out, and then I heard Sister Wen ask Xiao Li to inquire about which films will be released in the second half of next year, so I guessed that there must be something wrong with our movie."
