Those who want to go to the UK to watch the funeral are girls, or young people, and Lin Xiaoling also carries a camera, which has become her habit.
It's just a matter of a day or two, and you can't delay the film festival.
After sending off this group of people, Lin Zixuan met with Italian filmmaker Mark Muller to learn about the shortlisted films this time.
"Lin, there are a few movies that are very competitive this year, but Spring in a Small Town is also very good, I think it's not a problem to win the award, but the judges have to decide what award to take."
Mark Mueller said.
The highest award at the Venice International Film Festival is the Golden Lion, followed by the Silver Lion, and various awards such as Best Actor and Actress.
Since Lin Zixuan is here, of course he doesn't want to go home empty-handed, and now he can only wait for the final award ceremony.
This is his second visit to Venice, and the last time he was in a hurry, this time he came prepared.
Although the film festival was affected by Diana's funeral, many film companies from various countries still came, and Lin Zixuan took Yu Dong to communicate with these film companies, promote the film Spring in a Small Town, and invite them to participate in the screening of the film.
That's the commercial side of film, you can't say you're an artist and don't sell a film.
This time, the main thing is to let the people of Haomeng Company understand how to sell films, how to communicate with foreign filmmakers, don't be afraid to talk to them, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, you have to have this experience.
As for actors such as Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen, you can watch movies and visit the scenery of Venice.
Zhang Guoli followed Lin Zixuan to meet with the film company, he has business acumen, and wants to see what the process is like, what aspects need to be paid attention to, and may be able to use it in the future.
He filmed TV series in China, directed and acted by himself, and worked tirelessly, but in the end, he didn't get much remuneration than investors.
Zhang Guoli has also been cheated by investors, how to say it, at this time, the producers of the domestic entertainment industry implement the contract system.
When the producer contracts a TV series, the investor will set an amount, and after approval, the money will be handed over to the producer for management.
If the filming exceeds this amount, the producer has to advance money into it himself, and with the balance, the money is the producer's own.
Zhang Guoli has never been a producer before, so he thinks this condition is okay, everyone is like this, besides, he can control the crew as a producer and shoot the films he wants to make.
As a result, the budget of that drama was not well controlled, and he could only advance his own salary into it.
The investor makes a lot of money, but he doesn't make a penny.
This is a rare lesson, and when filming in the future, you won't make this kind of mistake.
Zhang Guoli wants to open his own company to invest in filming, he believes that the films made with his influence will definitely be sold, but there will always be profits and losses in film and television dramas.
There are so many film and television companies in Beijing, in his opinion, only Good Dream Company has not lost money.
This is due to the credit of Feng Xiaogang and Ge You, the Chinese New Year film made by the two was a box office hit, which is the basis for the profitability of Good Dream Company.
However, Zhang Guoli knew that Lin Zixuan was behind it, and it could be said that Lin Zixuan was the core of Haomeng Company, so he wanted to learn how Lin Zixuan operated.
"It's the same as at home, it's all about bargaining." sent away the filmmaker, Zhang Guoli said.
"It's the same, it's all the same, it's all about negotiation, and it's not the same thing."
Lin Zixuan explained, "We are in China, we come according to our rules, and when we come here, we must follow their rules." ” "That's right, I'm dizzy when I hear it, and we lack people who are familiar with their rules."
Zhang Guoli agreed.
"Brother Zhang, isn't he going to open a company, how are you preparing?"
Lin Zixuan asked.
Zhang Guoli discussed this matter with Lin Zixuan, he is different from actors like Chen Daoming, in the entertainment industry, Zhang Guoli has an easy-going temperament and good popularity, so he easily does not offend people.
His acting skills are good, but he is not the kind of person who is bent on acting and wants to become an artist.
Zhang Guoli has been involved in many roles such as director, producer and investor, and is always trying.
It can be said that he is not a peaceful person, he has made some money in recent years, and he is not willing to make money for those investors, and wants to have a more equal way of cooperation.
So, he wanted to start his own film and television company.
With the lesson of the last time, he stopped being a producer, but handed over the position of producer to his lover.
His lover's name is Deng Jie, and she is a serious and organized woman.
This kind of mom-and-pop shop business model is not uncommon in the domestic entertainment industry, and the two know and trust each other, and it is easy to communicate.
"I'm almost ready, let's invest in a drama next year and try it, Xiaolin, you have to point out to me, I see you shoot a spy war drama, will this type of drama be popular in the future" Zhang Guoli said curiously.
"I'm not sure for the time being, let's shoot a film first to see the audience's reaction, Brother Zhang, if you want to be safe, or make a historical drama, with your influence, the ratings are guaranteed."
Lin Zixuan persuaded.
This is the truth, at this time, I am not sure that it will be popular when I shoot the latent Lin Zixuan.
However, he believes that as long as it is a good series, the audience should accept it, and the latent is time-tested.
"I think so too, now I have a script on the ancient master at hand, I look good, you help me check it when I go back, you say it's okay, I can rest assured."

Zhang Guoli pleaded.
"Brother Zhang, don't praise me like this, I don't have that much ability, it's all our own business."
Lin Zixuan said politely.
They stayed in Venice for two days, and when it came to the day of the screenings in the Spring of the Small Town, according to the organizers' regulations, the films shortlisted for the main competition were allowed to be screened several more times.
With the preparation of the first two days, in addition to the local audience, there are also many film companies who come to watch the film.
Marc Müller used his influence to bring in some journalists and local Italian film critics to promote the Spring in Small Town and increase the popularity of the film.
Lin Zixuan and the actors stood at the door to welcome their arrival.
"Lin, these are lovers of literary films, and they will definitely like this film."
Mark Mueller Lin Zixuan said a few polite words to them, it was useless to talk too much, he had no friendship with these people, and he still had to watch the quality of the movie.
When the time came, only half of the audience in the screening room came, and it was Diana's funeral, and it was obvious that everyone was watching the solemn funeral in front of the TV.
In the past two days, Lin Zixuan has watched other films, which is basically the case, and the attendance rate is not high.
The film began to be screened, and Yu Feihong walked on the dilapidated city wall, just walking towards the audience.
Lin Zixuan paid attention to the audience's reaction to see if they were attracted to the film and whether this implicit emotional story of the East could resonate with Western audiences. t1706231537:
