Lin Xiaoling has experienced the whole process from highs to lows these days.
When I just came back from Venice, I was interviewed by the media, celebrated by relatives and friends, and went to the directing department of the film school to hold a symposium and share the things about winning the award with the younger students.
It's a beautiful place.
This is understandable, there are not many directors who can win this kind of award at her age.
The fifth-generation directors in China generally start to exert their strength after the age of 30 and become famous late, which is related to their special experience.
At that time, it was more difficult to make movies, and only by entering the film studio could you have a chance, and if you wanted to enter the film studio, you either had a relationship or an academic degree, and you had to graduate from the film school.
However, Huaguo did not resume the college entrance examination until 77 years, and Zhang Yimou went to film school in 78 years, when he was 28 years old.
The conditions for the sixth generation of directors to receive education are better than those of the fifth generation of directors, and they are gradually getting younger, and there will be more and more directors who become famous in their twenties in the future, and Lin Xiaoling is just a representative.
It was only a week after this fluttering good day, and little by little the reports of going home disappeared from the media.
There are things happening every day in the domestic film and television industry, and it is impossible to revolve around a topic all the time, which is logically normal.
But insiders know in their hearts that this is called cold treatment.
The so-called cold treatment, also known as low-key treatment, does not report, ignores it, and allows it to develop.
The media often says who is who has been blocked, this statement is inaccurate, there is no ban in the circle, it is a statement imagined by the media in order to attract readers' attention, and it was later recognized by readers.
Once a star is treated coldly, it will be said that it has been banned.
The word banning is too domineering, and neither the General Administration nor the film and television company will say who I want to ban.
The corresponding word should be called "snow storage", and the more artistic one is "cold treatment".
This time it was not Lin Xiaoling who was coldly treated, but for the movie Homecoming, and Lin Xiaoling was not affected much.
"Isn't there just a negative report, as for doing this," Lin Xiaoling said dissatisfied.
"You can be content, it's good to allow you to release it normally in theaters, if it drags on for two or three years before it is released, who will remember this film."
Lin Zixuan said calmly.
"But the theater is too much, and there are only two copies in the entire capital."
Lin Xiaoling said depressedly.
It's a bit too much for an award-winning hit, but theaters have their own say.
They are not optimistic about the box office prospects of going home, and copies also cost money, and it would be nice to have two copies to be screened.
Two copies meant that only two screens could be screened home in cinemas in Beijing, in stark contrast to the life-and-death decision-making rate of more than 80 percent.
With such an arrangement, it's no wonder that the box office back home can be good.
When I went home and reviewed it at the General Administration, I didn't find much of a problem, I should say that everyone doesn't think there is a problem with the verdict in the film, this is the situation in China, it is quite real.
In the 80s, an ordinary working family, who would ask a lawyer to defend it?
At that time, it was estimated that there were not many lawyers, not to mention the high fees, and there were even fewer public interest lawyers, and the common people had a weak sense of law, thinking that the court judgment was definitely right, and they did not know that the crime could be mitigated through defense.
The whole case is quite clear, it is a homicide case, the facts and evidence are there, and the verdict was pronounced directly.
Seventeen years later, when watching this movie, everyone still felt normal, until the foreign media questioned it.
Where is the lawyer and where is the legal aid in the whole case In Europe and the United States and other countries, lawyers play a great role in social life, and this role is both good and bad, and it is not easy to evaluate.
In the eyes of the Western media, the film "Homecoming" shows the imperfection of China's domestic legal system.
This is one of the reasons why the film was treated coldly.
Of course, even if it is not treated cold, the box office back home will not be too good.
The audience's reaction to a film with such a dull storyline can be imagined, and only lovers of literary films will feel that it has connotation.
Taking advantage of the enthusiasm of winning the award, the audience still has the impression that they can take a half-month tour in the theater and gain hundreds of thousands of box office.
This is the common practice of theaters for literary films, and it is not particularly for this movie.
If it is really put on hold by the theater for a year or two before it is released, it will be really miserable. originally didn't expect this film to make money at the box office, Lin Zixuan's attitude was quite indifferent, and he used his relationship with Huaguo TV to sell his home to a movie channel.
Although it is only a hundred thousand, it is also a profit.
However, as a director, Lin Xiaoling still hopes that the films she has worked hard to make can be seen by more audiences.
Winning an award is a kind of satisfaction, and the audience's evaluation is also a kind of satisfaction.
"You don't care about this film, you have to look forward, you have time to think about the new film, Brother Jiang's film was banned and didn't say anything, and now they are starting to talk about the investment in the new film."
Lin Zixuan gave an example.
"Brother, you invite the company's employees to watch a movie."

Lin Xiaoling proposed.
"I asked them to watch the Titanic, and they said I was good, and I asked them to watch this film, what do you think they would say about me after watching it," Lin Zixuan teased.
"This is a film invested by our company, brother, how can you say that, it makes me sad so much, I also got an honor for the company, so I have to reward it."
Lin Xiaoling said pitifully.
"You have your own money, so spend your own money to invite your friends to see."
Lin Zixuan was unmoved.
Lin Xiaoling went home and got a salary of 60,000 yuan, which is a little lower than the salary of millions of big directors, but it is already a lot compared with ordinary workers.
At this time, ordinary workers earn only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a year.
After winning the award this time, Lin Xiaoling will be able to get a salary of no less than 300,000 yuan when she shoots the next film.
This is the gap between a new director and a famous director, if you become a big director, you can get millions, and if you enter the mainstream Hollywood film circle, it will be millions of dollars.
"I still have to pay rent and eat with that little money, it's not enough to spend at all, okay, you capitalists are too picky, and you don't support the development of young directors' artistic careers at all."
Lin Xiaoling said sarcastically.
"Okay, you brothers and sisters don't quarrel, I'll give Xiaoling a room when the time comes."
Mu Shanshan persuaded him.
"Look, how high my sister-in-law's consciousness is, brother, you have to reflect on it."
Lin Xiaoling said.
"You, you know to follow her."
Lin Zixuan said helplessly.
According to the calculation of fifteen yuan for a movie ticket, there are about three or four hundred seats in an ordinary screening hall, and it costs five or six thousand yuan to charter a movie, and four thousand yuan is enough for six screenings a day. 40,000 yuan is nothing to the current Lin Zixuan and Mu Shanshan, and Lin Zixuan doesn't want Lin Xiaoling to care too much about the box office results.
Mu Shanshan felt that supporting Lin Xiaoling's movie could make her sister-in-law happy, and family harmony was more important than anything else. t1706231537:
