Japan does not have a concession in Shanghai, and the accurate name should be "Shanghai Hongkou Japanese Settlement".

In 1870, the Japanese began to settle in the Hongkou area of Shanghai.

In the same year, the Shanghai Public Concession authorities began to build roads across the Hongkou District, and the Hongkou area was informally brought under the jurisdiction of the Public Concession.

In 1873, Japan renamed the original Japanese Consulate in Shanghai, located at No. 3 Minhang Road, Hongkou.

In 1899, the Japanese organized the Shanghai Volunteer Corps in Hongkou as a self-defense organization.

In 1916, the patrol office of the Ministry of Industry of the Shanghai Public Concession set up a Japanese arrest unit, and on November 20, 30 Japanese patrolmen were in place to take over the public security affairs in the Hongkou area.

As a result, the Hongkou area of Shanghai was largely under Japanese control.

The Japanese occupy a seat on the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau in the Public Concession and participate in the management of the Public Concession.

Lin Zixuan understood that if the Japanese strongly protested, it was very likely that the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Concession would prohibit the screening of "Huo Yuanjia, the Great Hero of Tianjin" in the Public Concession.

The Americans are fine, but the British will definitely be on the side of the Japanese, and they have never been very fond of this kind of patriotic domestic films.

Lin Zixuan can only hope to use his influence with the Americans to weaken the Japanese interference in the film.

Of course, he is also ready to be banned.

In this matter, he will never give in, even if he does not make money, he will screen the film in Shanghai.

His decision was supported by Zheng Zhengqiu and others, and "Tianjin Hero Huo Yuanjia" pinned too much effort on them, swept away the lingering routines of talented and beautiful people in domestic films in the past, promoted the spirit of martial arts, and strengthened the country and the species.

Especially the theme song produced by Li Jinhui, "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" makes people's blood boil.

Lin Zixuan produced the song in Chinese and Cantonese versions, and when the movie was released, it was released nationwide in conjunction with Shanghai Baidai Records.

The premiere is scheduled for July, and when students are on vacation, it can be regarded as summer vacation.

After learning about the progress of "Jinmen Hero Huo Yuanjia", Lin Zixuan came to the filming site of "Havoc in Heaven" again.

Zheng Faxiang, who was introduced by the famous Peking Opera artist Yang Xiaolou, is just thirty years old, not tall, very flexible, in order to play the Monkey King well, he also brought a suit over, but the appearance of the Monkey King in Peking Opera is different from that in the movie.

In the movie, you don't need to paint so much oil paint on your face, and you don't need gorgeous costumes, you need to be more life-like.

Zheng Faxiang is a very good person, very cooperative with the crew, and willing to change some habits in Peking Opera performances.

Lin Zixuan talked to him in detail that the series "Journey to the West" may have to shoot dozens of films, and Sun Wukong is an indispensable role in it, and he hopes to cooperate with him for a long time.

As for the salary, Lin Zixuan will not be stingy, the salary of the first part is slightly lower, and when this series is successful, his salary will naturally rise.

Everyone said the words in front and then signed a long-term performance contract.

Now Lin Zixuan has begun to look for candidates for Tang Seng and others, after all, "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" will be filmed after "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", and the four masters and apprentices must be together.

Moreover, these people have to sign long-term performance contracts.

Lin Zixuan noted a high amount of liquidated damages in the contract, this is because it is normal to poach in this era, and he himself wants to poach the technicians of other film companies.

He had heard the story of Zheng Zhengqiu and Zhang Shichuan, when the civilized drama was flourishing, in the competition between the Minming Society and the Xinmin Society, Zhang Shichuan relied on heavy money to poach the Xinmin Society.

During the Republican period, there was indeed a copyright law, but it had little effect, resulting in serious piracy and follow-up.

You made money filming "Journey to the West", and other film companies followed up to shoot "Journey to the West", he poached your actor and started filming directly, and even the training was waived.

As long as the salary is high, actors change jobs very frequently, and it hurts too much money to talk about feelings.

With the lessons of civilized drama, Zhou Jianyun set up an artist department to manage the directors and actors of Star Film Company.

Liquidated damages are only a means of restriction, the main thing is to create space for the development of directors and actors, Lin Zixuan wants to retain talents, he must continue to shoot good movies, and develop and grow star film companies.

Only when we are strong can we not be afraid of other competitions and challenges.

Douglas Sheila was very interested in this Eastern mythology, and there are similar myths in the West.

But he was amazed by the story of a monkey challenging the gods, and in order to make the recording realistic, he even recorded different calls of monkeys, which ones were angry and which ones were sad.

It's completely an experiment with the crew's funds.

However, Lin Zixuan did not stop it, this is also an accumulation of experience, if you want the film to improve, you can't be afraid of spending money.

In later life, the filming of "Titanic" almost bankrupted Twentieth Century Fox Films, and in comparison, he could afford this expense.

He thinks that "Havoc in Heaven" will not be filmed in a few months, and it will be good if it can be released at the end of the year.

Perhaps a low-budget commercial film should be made to make some money to offset the high investment in "Havoc in Heaven".

Lin Zixuan recalled in his mind those movies that were not high investment and could make money.

Horror movies and ghost movies are definitely not good, in this era, it is easy to be criticized by public opinion, then there are only comedies, and if they are comedies of the family carnival type, this is enough to be safe.

He thought of a series of movies, Home Alone.

This is the story of a small child and two stupid thieves in a house.

The story is set in a wealthy area of Shanghai, where a large family is about to go back to the northern countryside to worship their ancestors, and after they pack up and get on a steamer, they find that they have forgotten a child at home.

Two stupid thieves prepare to steal from the rich area, and they meet a strange child, and a ridiculous story happens.

The Lin family has an idle villa in Shanghai, which can be used for filming, as long as they find another clever child.

Lin Zixuan is ready to write down this story, it doesn't need to be filmed too exquisitely, it's just a money-making film, it's almost enough, so you can't find director Hong Shen who has a perfectionist tendency.

In the evening, he returned to the crew of "Sunrise" to pick up Ruan Lingyu home.

The little girl's eyes were red, as if she had been wronged.

Lin Zixuan thought that she was reprimanded by Hong Shen, but when she inquired, it turned out that Ruan Lingyu had entered the state too much, treating herself as a small thing, and her eyes were red from crying.

According to later generations, this is the play.

Lin Zixuan was taken aback when he heard this, this is not good, he is too deep in the play, it is difficult to extricate himself, and he may end up schizophrenic.

Hong Shen explained on the side that this is a very normal phenomenon as an actor, which shows that she is very talented in acting.

There are similar examples in the famous roles of Peking Opera, who regard themselves as the roles they play, as long as they channel their emotions, they are not so serious.

Lin Zixuan glanced at Ruan Lingyu, but he didn't expect this girl to be a genius actor.
