Lin Zixuan arrived at the General Administration at eight o'clock in the morning and waited for the people in the bureau to go to work.
This time, there is no need to convene the members of the censorship committee, and there is no need to discuss it for a long time, as long as the people from the General Administration confirm that the film has been revised in accordance with the revised opinions and that no new problems have arisen, it will be considered to have passed the review.
After passing the examination, the General Administration will issue a "film release permit", and with this certificate, the film can be screened in theaters.
Therefore, this certificate is also known as the "birth permit" of the movie.
Things went well, and several members of the censorship committee of the General Administration spent nearly an hour reviewing the film, and then signed a censorship document that could be used to apply for a release permit.
The General Administration implements a system of who signs and who is responsible, and if something goes wrong with this movie in the future, it will also affect the person who signed it.
"In principle, the bureau supports and encourages the filming of co-productions, but it must also be strictly controlled, which is a responsibility to the audience, and I hope you will win glory for the country at the Venice Film Festival."
One of the directors of the market management department made an official statement.
In this way, Lin Zixuan got the film release license.
He left the General Administration at eleven o'clock, made a phone call to Jiang Wen, and everyone met at the airport, and then he returned home, took a shower, took his luggage, and went out to take a taxi to Beijing International Airport.
They had to go to Xiangjiang to meet Wen Jun first, and then go to Italy together.
Lin Zixuan went to Venice this time, not to win awards, good scenery, his main purpose is to ensure the income of the movie, that is, to sell the film and share the money.
On a sunny day, the production budget was seriously overspent, and Jiang Wen invested a lot of money himself.
In addition to the funds that Wen Jun pulled from investors in Xiangjiang and Baodao, there are also funds from Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqing, and some domestic companies have also invested in them, including some piecemeal loans and so on.
It can be said that it is very confusing.
Moreover, in order to complete the post-production, the German rights to the film have been sold, and these things need to be sorted out.
The audience only sees the film and the stars when they watch the movie, but they rarely know the entanglement of interests involved behind a movie.
It's all behind the scenes, but sometimes it's also a great story.
The contract they signed in Xiangjiang was no longer suitable for the current situation, and a new solution needed to be negotiated.
For example, how to divide overseas copyrights, how to divide domestic box office, and how to divide accounts if they are released in Xiangjiang and Baodao.
If Jiang Wen didn't invest, just as a director, then there would be no need to be so troublesome, Jiang Wen would get a salary of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and Lin Zixuan would get 60,000 Hong Kong dollars, so it would be none of their business.
Lin Zixuan's trip to Venice this time is to protect the interests of domestic investors, which is also the responsibility of the producer.
There are some things that Jiang Wen is not good enough to come forward, and Lin Zixuan and Wen Jun need to negotiate.
Everyone has put a lot of effort into this film, hoping to have a happy ending.
For Lin Zixuan, it is also an opportunity to enter the international film scene, meet filmmakers and film distributors from various European countries, and learn about the state of international film distribution.
If Haomeng wants to develop, it will definitely enter the international market in the future, and he will take the first step.
At Beijing International Airport, Lin Zixuan and Jiang Wen converged.
"Show me the release permit, it's not easy for this, let's get luck better than Zhang Yi, this bad luck is gone, and good days are coming."
Jiang Wen rested all morning and regained his spirits.
Lin Zixuan opened the suitcase, took out the documents and handed them to Jiang Wen.
This is Jiang Wen's first movie, he is very happy to be released in China, the movie can not only be made for self-appreciation, but also let the audience realize the meaning he expressed.
When the time came, the two got on the plane to Xiangjiang.
"Brother Jiang, do you think it's better for us to divide the copyright or according to the investment ratio" On the plane, Lin Zixuan asked.
Wen Jun's side accounted for 80 percent of the total investment, while domestic investment accounted for only 20 percent.
There are two ways to distribute the income of a movie, one is according to the proportion of investment.
This is relatively easy to understand, everyone first sells the various copyrights of the movie, and then Wen Jun takes eighty percent of it, and Lin Zixuan takes the remaining two percent, which is very fair.
Another way to distribute it is to divide the copyright.
For example, overseas copyrights, Southeast Asia's own, Europe's own, domestic box office belong to you, Hong Kong and Taiwan's box office belong to me, and the copyrights of other video tapes and TV broadcasts are all distributed one by one.
It depends on their luck and ability, and whoever can sell it for a good price will make it.
"We don't have much experience, let's follow the investment ratio, be safe."
Jiang Wen responded.
"It's okay, but you have to fight for the domestic box office account, and it's best to get it in your hands."
Lin Zixuan proposed.
"Do you think this film will be a box office hit in China," Jiang Wen skeptical.
He is confident in his films, but the downturn in the domestic film market in China is an indisputable fact, a movie can have a box office of several million, even if it is a big hit, and many films are lost money.

"This type of film has not been seen in China, and proper publicity should have good results."
Lin Zixuan asserted.
"Anyway, they don't care about the mainland market, so it should be fine."
Jiang Wen thought about it.
On the afternoon of September 8, the two came to Xiangjiang to meet with Wen Jun and Mr.
Tang, an investor in Xiangjiang.
Investors on a sunny day were quite pleasantly surprised, they thought that their investment was in vain, but they did not expect to be able to participate in international film festivals, and there was a possibility of recovering costs.
All the expenses of this trip to Venice are taken care of by this Mr.
Tang, and of course, it will also be counted in the film investment.
Everyone had a meal and flew to Venice, where tomorrow the sunny day is going to premiere.
On the plane, Lin Zixuan and Wen Jun discussed the new distribution plan and basically reached an agreement.
Overseas copyright owners will be distributed according to the proportion of investment, and the box office income from Hong Kong and Taiwan will go to investors from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the box office income from the mainland will go to investors in the mainland.
They really don't care about the mainland film market, thinking that it would be good to have a box office of two or three million.
This is in line with the market law of mainland literary films, even if this film wins an award in Venice, the box office in the mainland cannot be compared with the box office of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Founded in 1932, the Venice Film Festival has a long history and can be said to be the world's first international film festival.
However, with the rise of Hollywood films, European films are in decline, and even Cannes is more influential than Venice.
This is related to the fact that the Venice Film Festival is paying more and more attention to art films, and the purpose of this film festival is that "film serves serious art", and the criterion for judging a film is very pure, that is, artistry.
This is the reason why Chinese filmmakers flock to the Venice Film Festival. t1706231537:
