Chapter 155: A Different Way of Thinking

Lin Zhimo lost the opportunity to participate in this Spring Festival Gala, but he got the joy of the family, and in the harmonious family, Lin Zhimo enjoyed the happiness that could not be compared even if he won the Golden Horse Award.

In the next period of time, Lin Zhimo temporarily forgot about work, just spent time with his family, went shopping every day to buy groceries, and quarreled with Lin Yumo from time to time. However, this does not mean that Lin Zhimo has relaxed, he is still reading books every day to enrich himself as much as possible, otherwise it will not be a waste of such a great opportunity as the Heavenly King Gene.

Just a few days before the Chinese New Year, Lin Zhimo received a call from Wang Xiaoshuai: "Zhimo, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you plan to listen to first?" ”

Lin Zhimo asked: "The good news won't be that the film passed the review of the Berlin Film Festival, but the bad news is that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a blocking order, preparing that I can't mix in the entertainment industry in the future, right?" ”

Wang Xiaoshuai shook his head and said: "The bad news you said should be one of the many consequences of the good news I said after it spread, and now the bad news I want to say is not so bad, and the good news is even better." ”

Lin Zhimo was confused by Wang Xiaoshuai's good news and bad news, and asked directly: "Brother Wang, you still tell me what the news is, don't sell it." ”

Wang Xiaoshuai smiled: "The bad news is that our film was shortlisted for the official competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, but you and Li Bin are the double protagonists of the same movie, and he was selected for the best new actor, but you didn't." ”

Lin Zhimo was stunned for a moment, and did not ask why according to Wang Xiaoshuai's assumption, but asked: "Brother Wang, if the Berlin Film Festival approves us to participate in the competition unit, doesn't it mean that if we don't succeed in bidding for the Olympics next year, we will face the danger of being blocked?" ”

Wang Xiaoshuai didn't expect that at this time, Lin Zhimo was still concerned about the movie and his fate Wang Xiaoshuai, and he was very moved in his heart, but he said indifferently: "These are not worth mentioning compared to the good news I am going to tell you." ”

At this moment, Lin Zhimo was also very curious about the good news that Wang Xiaoshuai had been saying, and couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Wang, what is the good news?" ”

"The good news is that you didn't make it to the new actors, because the Berlin Film Festival rules that anyone who is shortlisted for new actors can't be shortlisted for the best actor again!" Wang Xiaoshuai said word by word.

"Brother Wang...... You, you mean ......"

Lin Zhimo was a little incredulous, this is his first film? Even if you count the supporting roles, this is only your third film, even in this film, because Li Bin has fewer roles, he can barely be said to be the first actor.

"My first starring film was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, and I was also nominated for the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor?" Lin Zhimo was completely stunned, "In the history of Chinese performing arts, he is the first actor to be nominated for the Berlin Best Actor, right?" ”

Wang Xiaoshuai seemed to know Lin Zhimo's current state, and he didn't urge Lin Zhimo, just holding the microphone and waiting quietly for the other party.

After a long time, Lin Zhimo asked loudly: "Brother Wang, are you saying that I am really shortlisted for the Berlin Best Actor?" ”

"Yes, I'm sure you will answer you in the affirmative, you have been shortlisted for Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival, one of the three major international film festivals in Europe!" Wang Xiaoshuai also said loudly.

Lin Zhimo clenched his fists fiercely, stood up from the desk and laughed: "Brother Wang, where are you, I want to invite you to dinner!" ”

"Haha, don't invite me to dinner yet, as you just said, think about the reaction of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television after learning the news." Wang Xiaoshuai poured a basin of cold water on Lin Zhimo.

Lin Zhimo's laughter immediately stopped, yes, as Wang Xiaoshuai said, what he needs to care about most now is the reaction of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, right? You must know that Lin Zhimo is not a dispensable little person in the entertainment industry, even if one of his false scandals can be on the headlines of major networks and media newspapers, if the news of Lin Zhimo's "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle" being shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival spreads, you can imagine what kind of big earthquake it is!

The most important thing is that this film still participated in the competition in his personal name without being approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, which is like being kicked to the ground by Lin Zhimo and then riding on him and ravaging him fiercely.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhimo shuddered a little, and there was no longer the excitement in his tone just now, but then he reacted that Wang Xiaoshuai seemed to be a little too calm, and asked with a thought: "Brother Wang, do you have any solution?" ”

Wang Xiaoshuai smiled: "Don't say it, after so many days of thinking, I really came up with an idea that is not an idea." ”

"Brother Wang, say it quickly." Lin Zhimo urged.

"To put it bluntly, this method is nothing, that is, you have to find a way to become the standard-bearer of this Olympic bid, and it is best to use your influence to strive to become the leader of the Olympic bid." Wang Xiaoshuai's tone was no longer as playful as just now, but he said these words with a sense of seriousness.

"Me? Become a leader in the Olympic bid? Lin Zhimo asked rhetorically, "How is this possible, I just shot a film on the front foot that is not conducive to the Olympic bid, and I will immediately go to shoot the sycophants of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television on the back foot?" I don't do it! ”

Wang Xiaoshuai heard Lin Zhimo's resentment, and knew that Lin Zhimo was still young after all, maybe he acted calmly and was sophisticated, but after all, he had never dealt with the political axe, and he didn't know the set of rules for dealing with the world in the political axe department.

At that moment, Wang Xiaoshuai was not annoyed, and patiently explained: "Zhimo, you are wrong to understand it this way!" ”

"Think about it, whose idea was it to kill our movie? Is it the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television? On the surface, it seems to be, but in fact, it is just a private decision made by someone or some people in the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in order to figure out what they want. What does this mean, this shows that the essence of this matter is right and not right, who told us to be unlucky to catch up? ”

"Moreover, do you think that our film was really filmed to deliberately smear the image of our capital? No, so, don't think that our matter and this film are wrong because of the one-sided words of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television! We're right! ”

Hearing Wang Xiaoshuai say this, Lin Zhimo seemed to understand a little, but he didn't seem to understand it even more, this kind of thing seemed to break the concept of right and wrong that he had formed in his ordinary words, so he continued to listen to Wang Xiaoshuai's narration without saying a word.

"Let's put aside the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television now, do you think the Olympic bid is a good thing? Is it a big deal for our country and our nation? Surely it is, you certainly won't deny it. Well, let's exaggerate a little bit, since this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, then why do you refuse to be such a character? Just because the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television didn't let you go to the Spring Festival Gala? ”

"No, no, of course not." Lin Zhimo hurriedly denied it, and then said with some hesitation: "Brother Wang, what do you mean is that I will dedicate my strength and radio and television to the Olympic bid...... Never mind? ”

"No! You are you and he is him, although because of your relationship, our film may be a big hit, according to them, it is to discredit the Olympic bid, but after all, they have banned our film from being released in China, no matter how popular this film is, domestic audiences can't see it, so it doesn't matter if it's smeared or not; And we don't have to look for foreign distributors, and foreign audiences can't see them - are they not satisfied that the impact of this film is only limited to the Berlinale for two weeks? ”

Lin Zhimo thought about it and felt that it made sense, but he still asked suspiciously: "Then Brother Wang, won't they object to me doing this kind of thing, after all, they are the ones who killed our film, if I promote the Olympic bid now, wouldn't it mean that what they are doing is wrong?" ”

"You, you, you're still too tender. Since the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television did not notify the outside world of the reason why our film did not pass, it means that the reason why our film failed to pass the review has nothing to do with the Olympic bid, and they can completely excuse it and say that there is something wrong with the plot of this film, and there are too many reasons. On the contrary, if you really make a contribution to the Olympic bid, it will be too late for them to be happy. ”

These are actually the conclusions that Wang Xiaoshuai has come to after constantly asking people to find a relationship for so many days, which is different from the initial fear of the ban by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and now Wang Xiaoshuai can look at this matter very rationally.

In a word, although the consequences of this incident are somewhat serious, they are far from the point where they can break their bones, and they are more afraid of themselves, after all, the authority of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has been too great for many years.

Although Lin Zhimo still doesn't understand it, he also knows what Wang Xiaoshuai means, that is, the greater his contribution to the Olympic bid, the greater the benefit to himself, and the greater the benefit to the film "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle".

Thinking about this, Lin Zhimo said happily: "Okay, Brother Wang, I understand what you mean." It just so happens that I have also written two songs about the Olympic bid, and now I will hand them over to Director Yuan and let him check them. ”

"That's for the best!"

After Lin Zhimo hung up the phone, he immediately called Yuan Delong: "Director Yuan, let me tell you something, that is, our film is going to participate in the competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival, and I was also shortlisted for the Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival." ”

When Yuan Delong heard the news of Lin Zhimo, he first said hello to Lin Zhimo twice, and then said: "In this case, then Zhimo, you still don't have to think about the lifting of the ban on your films, I'm afraid I can only let you resume normal work, as for your videos, I can't do anything." ”

Lin Zhimo was also silent for a while when he heard this, and then realized that Wang Xiaoshuai had explained to himself for a long time just now that it was all about himself, but he didn't say a word about the future of the film, obviously he also knew that the best result of this matter was that the film was banned, and the actors were not affected.
