On the side of the third ring road in the capital, there are all kinds of densely packed buildings, and in a family building, there is a small building with white walls and red roof.
From the outside, it is impossible to figure out what this small building is for, there is no sign and no one enters or leaves, it seems very mysterious, and only when you walk in does you know that it is a film company.
This is the office location that Jiang Wen found for his film company, and the name of the company is Sunny Productions.
At present, the company's information has just been declared, and the business license has not yet been approved by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
"I'm going to get a screening room here, the luxurious kind, not too shabby."
Jiang Wen pointed to a large room and introduced, "That's the editing room, I'm tired of that kind of hand-cranked machine, and I want to buy a new one from Germany." ” "Brother Jiang, your comparison thinking is very serious, and at first glance, it follows Director Zhang's layout."
Lin Zixuan teased.
Zhang Yimou has his own studio on the outskirts of Beijing, which has all kinds of equipment for filming.
Among the film directors in China, it can be regarded as a luxury, so he can be worthy of his status as an international director.
Jiang Wen's eyes have obviously been hot for a long time, and if he has the opportunity to have his own studio this time, it will definitely be better than Zhang Yimou's.
He felt that this was a necessary equipment as a director, and if he had these things before, he would not have to go to Berlin and Tokyo for post-production.
The experience of photographing a sunny day gave him a sense of crisis, and he always felt that everything had to be his own.
"How can this be a comparison, if a director doesn't have this set of equipment, how inconvenient it is to work."
Jiang Wen defended, "For example, if a foreign investor comes and sees these equipment, people will think that we are professional, and the investment will be much more refreshing, this is the façade." ” "Just this small building, as well as the filming equipment you mentioned, you can't get it without millions."
Lin Zixuan estimated.
"Isn't making money just for spending, your good dream company is too picky, and you don't even have a decent screening room, how can investors have confidence in you."
Jiang Wen retorted.
Lin Zixuan thought about it, it was true, the good dream company was still an empty shelf, and Party A and Party B's post-production used the editing room of the Beijing Film Studio.
It's not that they don't want to buy equipment, but they are used to being thrifty.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang started by making TV series, and they have little money to make TV series, so they can't be as extravagant as making movies, and they need to be careful with budgeting, just like when filming people in Beijing in New York, they also went to the garbage dump to pick up props.
Their principle is that if they can use other people's things, they don't pay for themselves.
This fine tradition cannot be lost, but it also needs to be appropriately generous, otherwise there will be no atmosphere of a film company.
Jiang Wen is used to being a loser, he uses it when he has money, and he looks for money everywhere if he doesn't have money, and he is doing well now.
It can only be said that each person's personality is different, or each has its own way of living.
Jiang Wen thinks from the director's point of view, while Lin Zixuan thinks from the perspective of the producer and the boss.
The two walked around the building, and Jiang Wen talked about his plan and said that this would become the starting base for his films.
"What's going to shoot next time, do you have an idea?"
Lin Zixuan asked.
"The French film agency called, our films are selling well in Europe, they want to invest in my new film, I haven't decided what to shoot yet."
Jiang Wen hesitated.
This circle is like that, very realistic.
When you are not famous, you beg others to invest, when you have fame, others come to you to invest, Jiang Wen has proven his directing ability, naturally someone will be willing to invest.
"Okay, Brother Jiang, think about it slowly, I still have something."
Lin Zixuan was about to leave as he spoke.
He just came over today to take a look and recognize the way, he is different from Jiang Wen, there are many things.
"Have you finished writing that martial arts novel, give me a copy of the manuscript, I'll find inspiration, and maybe I'll be able to think of what to shoot."
Jiang Wen demanded.
Although Jiang Wen is not interested in martial arts films, he believes in Lin Zixuan's writing ability, and maybe he will feel it.
"It's been sent to the magazine, and I'll give you a copy of the magazine when it's published."
Lin Zixuan responded.
He doesn't need to finish writing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and then send it to the magazine, he just needs to write tens of thousands of words and add an outline.
Although magazine serialization is stricter than that of newspapers, it does not have too many rigid requirements for the author, as long as the quality of the article does not decline, the word count is negotiable.
In this era, the status of authors is not low, especially writers like Lin Zixuan, who have some fame.
At the end of October, the Ancient and Modern Legend Magazine received a manuscript, and the editor opened it to see that it was a martial arts novel, with only two reviews and a note.
The description introduces that this martial arts novel is a long story, and if it is popular with readers, it will also write a prequel and a sequel.

The editor thinks this person is a bit ambitious, and your novel may not necessarily be published in magazines, so it feels a little ridiculous to think about the prequel and the sequel, but when he reads the author's self-introduction below, he doesn't think it's ridiculous.
Lin Zixuan wrote the novels he wrote before, although there are not many, but they are all somewhat famous.
The stubborn master and alive have also been adapted into movies, especially alive, Zhang Yimou's name is still very useful.
The editor's first thought was that someone pretended to be Lin Zixuan's name to submit the article, which is not uncommon.
Besides, most writers who write popular fiction aspire to move closer to the circle of orthodox literature, while writers who write orthodox literature basically do not get involved in popular literature.
The editor then abandoned this idea, because the matter was easy to verify, and the author left his phone and pager.
Lin Zixuan is not interested in engaging in the kind of scene where the manuscript is rejected by the magazine and then slapped in the face.
It was originally easy to solve, why bother with it, he used his real name not to show anything, but to let the magazine publish Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Fame is sometimes useful, at least the Legend of Ancient and Modern Magazines will not reject the manuscript.
Mu Shanshan felt that it would be better for Lin Zixuan to use a pen name this time, otherwise he would be scolded by those writers of orthodox literature again.
They will think that Lin Zixuan is not doing his job properly and has written martial arts novels that cannot be put on the stage.
"I didn't care much about their thoughts, when I first wrote about the stubborn master, they said that the stubborn master and martial arts novels were the four vulgarities, which shows that I am a writer of popular novels."
Lin Zixuan said indifferently.
This is the truth, people don't need to care too much about irrelevant people and things in this world, as long as they are comfortable in their hearts. t1706231537:
