Hearing the voice from the microphone, Lin Zixuan did not suspect that someone was pretending, and it was not very reliable for scammers to make international calls to the United States, and the cost of deceiving people was too high.
He was a little curious about how Zhang Yimou knew about this novel.
The second issue of the Hundred Flowers Magazine will be released on March 10, and the magazine should not be on the market at this time.
Moreover, as soon as he told Li Hong his phone number in New York, Zhang Yimou called, which is too efficient.
"I am, you have something to do with me," Lin Zixuan asked.
"I want to sign your novel and prepare to adapt it into a movie, what do you think?"
asked Zhang Yimou straight to the point.
"That's a good thing, but I'm abroad, and it won't take months to go back."
Lin Zixuan responded.
"There's no rush for this, just talk to you first and settle the matter."
Zhang Yimou said calmly.
"Okay, I'm fine."
Lin Zixuan agreed.
Zhang Yimou may not know who Lin Zixuan is, but Lin Zixuan knows Zhang Yimou, and most of the film magazines in China can see this big director, and there is no one in the Chinese entertainment industry who does not know him.
As the older generation of film artists gradually fades out, the fifth generation of directors has officially risen, and Zhang Yimou is one of the best.
In this era, how popular is Zhang Yimou For example, Lin Zixuan tried his best to raise funds in New York in order to film the people of Beijing, and he was tired and half dead to discuss the conditions in all aspects.
As long as Zhang Yimou says, if I want to make a movie, he doesn't need to find funds, and the funds will come to him.
Not only the mainland's funds, but also the funds from Xiangjiang, Japan, and Europe will invest in him, and it is no exaggeration to say that he can bring in an investment of 3 million US dollars just by virtue of his words.
In China, there are only a handful of directors with this kind of appeal, no more than three.
The film industry in the early 90s was the stage for the fifth generation of directors to display their talents.
Lin Zixuan knows that whether the novel is published in a magazine or adapted into a movie, censorship is a difficult hurdle.
A great director can use his influence to gain creative freedom and make censorship less harsh.
If an unknown little director wants to shoot alive, it is self-defeating, and the above will not directly say that your book is not good, but will say that we are still researching.
Once you hear a vague word like "research", there is basically no hope, which means to put it on hold indefinitely.
If there is a clear amendment to the above, it means that it can be saved.
Lin Zixuan has participated in the discussion of the script and knows the stakes well, and in the final analysis, this is a process of compromise.
Zhang Yimou, as the most influential director in Huaguo, has great advantages in terms of censorship, investment, and actor recruitment, and is an excellent candidate for filming.
If a young director comes to him to talk about it, Lin Zixuan will consider whether being alive will cause trouble to the director.
The last time the stubborn lord made Mi Jiashan unable to make movies for two years, Lin Zixuan felt very sorry for him.
On the phone, after Lin Zixuan finished speaking, the matter was settled, although it was a verbal agreement, there was no possibility of repentance, at this time, everyone was very trustworthy, otherwise their reputation in the circle would be ruined.
Then the two of them didn't know what to say, they hadn't seen each other before, they didn't know each other well, and they were a little cold.
"Jiang Wen is where you are, I'll talk to him."
Zhang Yimou changed the subject.
Zhang Yimou was very curious about Jiang Wen's participation in the TV series, and wanted to ask what Jiang Wen thought, and he could also resolve the embarrassment.
He wanted to discuss the plot of the novel with Lin Zixuan, but it was not something that could be finished in a while, and it was not suitable for talking about international distances.
Lin Zixuan went to the next room and called Jiang Wen over, and Jiang Wen and Zhang Yimou chatted warmly for five or six minutes.
"Tell me what novel you wrote, let Director Zhang chase after him so much, it's all called to New York, it's too rare."
Putting down the phone, Jiang Wen said curiously.
"I didn't bring a manuscript, and I can't say it clearly in a short time, the novel should be published in Hundred Flowers in March, and the magazine has not yet been listed at this time, so I was wondering how Director Zhang saw it."
Lin Zixuan was puzzled.
"I know this, their directors give the magazine 10,000 yuan a year, and the magazine society sends them the manuscript in advance, so that they can start early."
Jiang Wen explained.
"Is there such a lack of scripts in the film industry," Lin Zixuan said in surprise.
"What do you say, in the 80s, everyone concentrated on creation and produced a lot of good stories, but now everyone's minds are lively, no one writes seriously, and there are no good stories to watch in the past two years."
Jiang Wen complained.

Jiang Wen's heart is very big and wild, he doesn't want to limit himself to the profession of an actor.
He wanted to make the movies he wanted to make, to make interesting stories.
This kind of person is called having ideals on the positive side, but in fact, he has too much desire to control, he is not satisfied with becoming a pawn of the director, he wants to be a director himself.
Therefore, in the past two years, he has consciously looked for good stories to prepare for his transformation into a director.
However, he wants to transform, and the entire Chinese society is also transforming, and now going to the sea to do business has become the trend of the times, people's hearts are fluctuating, and there are many writers who go to the sea to set up cultural companies, known as cultural businessmen.
Because of this, Jiang Wen complained that he couldn't see a good story.
When he heard that Zhang Yimou had found a good story to be made into a movie, he was envious, and when he thought about it, he knew that the novel that could make Zhang Yimou call and sign the adaptation rights before the magazine was released must be a good story.
This time he was a step late, and Jiang Wen turned his gaze to Lin Zixuan.
"Xiaolin, next time you write a novel, you have to show me first."
Jiang Wen said confidently.
"Brother Jiang, this is not a matter of your words, as long as we can shoot this TV series well, when we have time, we will figure out a good book."
Lin Zixuan promised.
"That's what you said, I'll remember it for you."
Jiang Wen said seriously.
If Jiang Wen's impression of Lin Zixuan was that he was talented and down-to-earth, then now he attaches more importance to it.
Lin Zixuan didn't expect that Zhang Yimou's phone call could have such an unexpected effect, as long as Jiang Wen could cooperate well, the filming of this TV series would be much smoother, and he would be much easier.
"By the way, what is your novel about" Jiang Wen asked, "How about I act?"
He said it for granted, and there seemed to be no role he couldn't play.
Lin Zixuan thought about Jiang Wenlai to play Fugui in the living, and shook his head secretly, it would be more appropriate for Ge You to play it, but he wouldn't say it directly, mainly because he didn't want to argue with Jiang Wen.
"You have to ask Director Zhang's opinion, I can't be the master."
Lin Zixuan pushed the problem to Zhang Yimou.
Jiang Wen pointed at Lin Zixuan with his finger, speechless, he understood that this was because Lin Zixuan was not optimistic about him, and when he encountered this kind of problem before, Lin Zixuan would push it to Feng Xiaogang. t1706231537:
