The Tokyo International Film Festival is hosted in Tokyo's Shibuya district, which is an entertainment and shopping center.
Lin Zixuan and his entourage arranged accommodation, and then he met with Tian Zhuangzhuang, who came a few days earlier than them and was one of the judges of this film festival, and the food and accommodation were arranged by the organizing committee of the film festival.
This is one of the reasons why Lin Zixuan is looking forward to the two of us winning the award.
The judges of each country will be biased towards the films of their own country, and as long as the quality of the film is not bad, they must try their best.
The two of us have three nominations, and it is unlikely that the top award and the best director will win, so we can only fight for best actress.
Whether it is the Oscars in the United States or the Cannes Film Festival in France, there is no absolute impartiality at all, and if the chairman of the jury this year is Chinese, the chances of Chinese films winning awards will increase.
Everyone in the circle knows in their hearts that only the media will talk about "unpopular" and "unfair" topics after the fact.
Tian talked about the state of the film festival.
This time, there is another domestic film shortlisted for the main competition unit, which tells the story of a face-changing artist in Sichuan opera, which is a co-production with Xiangjiang and is very artistic.
Fortunately, this film competes for Best Director and Best Actor, and there is no conflict with the best actress between the two of us.
The second is how to sell the copyright of the film, which will be discussed after the film can win the award.
The Tokyo International Film Festival has a lot of influence in Asia, and it can also attract filmmakers from all over the world, but there will be no big buyers interested, after all, the grade is still a little worse.
Lin Zixuan is here for tourism, and participating in the film festival is a matter of course.
The next day, he and Mu Shanshan arrived at a bookstore called Oriental Bookstore, located in Kanda Jimbocho, Tokyo.
Due to the large number of bookstores and publishing houses here, it is also known as Bookstore Street.
Oriental Bookstore is a little different in this regard, because the bookstore has a lot of books related to China, and although it was founded in 1951, this small bookstore is famous for publishing and selling Chinese books.
It is mainly books in the fields of humanities and social sciences such as literature, history, and philosophy.
The bookstore is sold to Japanese universities, specialized libraries, and professional researchers.
Lin Zixuan came to this bookstore because it was this bookstore that the living Japanese version was published, and now the translation work has been completed, and the Oriental Bookstore is ready to go on sale next year.
In addition, living Italian and Korean editions will be published one after another.
This novel brought Lin Zixuan a lot of fame abroad, and he was regarded as a famous writer in China, but in fact, his position in the domestic literary world was a bit awkward.
People abroad did not know about these things, and the manager of Oriental Bookstore, Yamada Mashi, came forward to greet Lin Zixuan.
The two chatted through an interpreter, nothing more than some words of admiration and views on the relations between the two countries, a very ordinary conversation.
In the mid-90s, Japan's economy fell into a long-term downturn, the aging of Japanese society became increasingly serious, the number of college students dropped significantly, and the book industry as a whole entered the predicament of declining sales, shrinking market, and sluggish operation, not to mention niche Chinese books.
Oriental Bookstore's insistence on publishing Chinese books under such circumstances is commendable.
Predictably, the sales situation in Japan is not optimistic.
Lin Zixuan doesn't care much, he doesn't live on royalties, he can sell the best, and it doesn't matter if he can't sell it.
"Mr.
Hayashi has a big work coming out in the near future," asked Mashi Yamada at the end of the conversation.
"Are you interested in fairy tales?"
Lin Zixuan responded.
Xiaoxue's adventure has received a good response in China, from kindergarten children to high school students, and even parents of some families are interested, and the range of readers is very large.
As a result, the sales of literary and artistic youth magazines increased significantly, and they took the initiative to adjust Lin Zixuan's manuscript fee and increase publicity.
A children's publishing house was preparing to publish Xiaoxue's adventure next year, and Lin Zixuan signed a contract with the publishing house and got 10% of the royalties.
This is related to the lack of a domestic children's book market, and it is difficult for children to read an interesting story.
When Mashi Yamada heard the translator's words, he thought it was a childish fairy tale, so he lost interest.
He asked Lin Zixuan to write a preface to the living Japanese edition, describing the creative process of the book, and Lin Zixuan agreed that he would hand it over to Oriental Bookstore before leaving Japan.
The two sides just said goodbye and left.
Walking on the bookstore street, looking at the different bookstores around, Mu Shanshan was a little unhappy.
"That Yamada can't look down on Xiaoxue's big adventure, and there will be times when he regrets it in the future."
Lin Zixuan understood after thinking about it, and persuaded him, "After this story sells well all over the world, he will know what a good opportunity he has lost." ” "How can it be as powerful as you say, and it is also a bestseller all over the world, put gold on your own face."
Mu Shanshan said, "It's good to be popular in China, I read those letters and put forward a lot of opinions, you have to continue to work hard." ” The Literary Youth Magazine forwarded many letters to their readers, most of which were written by children.
Mu Shanshan likes to read those letters, and when she comes across letters praising Xiaoxue, she leaves them, and writes them down if she has any opinions.
The children also have a lot of wonderful ideas, they put forward a lot of strange plots, and the whole person's ideas are more powerful than the other, and it is estimated that they usually practice on other children.
Lin Zixuan was surprised to see it, Mu Shanshan felt that it was good, and it could be used in future stories.

Even if you don't need it, you can save it, and every letter is a child's innocence.
"Don't add more plots to it, I'm afraid it will be troublesome if I don't come back later."
Lin Zixuan objected.
Lin Zixuan found that adaptation is a very laborious work, if you add all kinds of weird plots, it is basically difficult to tell the story smoothly, but fortunately, it is a fairy tale, and some unreasonable places are pushed to the magic world.
In the wizarding world, anything is possible.
"You're not a genius, you're stumped on this little thing."
Mu Shanshan teased, Lin Zixuan had no choice but to admit defeat, on the streets of a foreign country, no one around knew them, and this feeling was very relaxing.
This does not mean that living in the capital has to be endured, but that they have their own identities in the capital, which determines their behavior and cannot be surpassed.
In this strange place, they can let go of their original identity and chase and fight on the streets, without caring about the eyes of others.
This may be the purpose of travel, to let go of everything and be your true self. t1706231537:
