Wen Ying and Xie Qian had just put their luggage back to their respective rooms for a while when Yuan Fenghui informed them that Lin Wenxuan had returned to the hotel.
"Okay, let's go meet Director Lin."
Lin Wenxuan just finished a dinner party.
This is Director Lin using his own connections to do public relations for "Tangli Love".
After the two sides met and exchanged a few brief pleasantries, Lin Wenxuan was as delighted as the stingy Mr. Zhang when he heard that a distribution company was willing to sign a profit-sharing agreement with "Shendu: Youth Journey." "This is great news! Since there's such a sign, you must seize it. If "Shendu: Youth Journey" can sign a profit-sharing agreement, the overseas copyrights of other Chinese-language films in the future will also follow the standard of "Shendu: Youth Journey"!"
Generally, film companies and directors would be very satisfied with the box office results of 200 million or 300 million in China.
Lin Wenxuan was not very satisfied.
Compared with the global box office, the 200 to 300 million box office of Chinese films is really not enough.
The box office of Hollywood movies is also 200 to 300 million, but it is 200 to 300 million U.S. dollars. The gap is huge!
Lin Wenxuan doesn't think that Hollywood movies are much better than Chinese-language movies. It's just that Hollywood movies have stepped out of the path of commercial movies earlier. In the development over the years, they have a complete production system and have cultivated the viewing aesthetics of global audiences... Can't other countries imitate the production system explored by Hollywood?
No.
In addition to cultivating the viewing aesthetics of global audiences, Hollywood also has the strongest distribution company!
Whoever controls the channel has the right to set prices for the goods.
At Lin Wenxuan's level, sometimes thinking about issues no longer starts from a purely personal perspective, but from the perspective of the entire Chinese-language film landscape. A single director cannot elevate the status of an entire country's cinema; rather, it is when a country's cinema rises in global prominence that directors truly achieve international acclaim.
Mr. Zhang was very satisfied with the first half of Lin Wenxuan's words, but he did not agree with the second half.
We need to seize the profit-sharing contract, but if other Chinese films want the same treatment as "Shendu Youth"...haha, it's better to make the movie first and then dream. Putting aside the performance of other films, if a film like "The Devil Transformed" can also negotiate a profit-sharing contract, is there any reason in this world?
Zhang Tiegong disagreed in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He sincerely hoped that "Tangli Love" would be successful in winning the awards.
"Director Lin, I hope we can all get what we want!"
Lin Wenxuan smiled: "I hope so."
The award ceremony is the day after tomorrow. Lin Wenxuan asked Wen Ying what her plans were. Wen Ying said she planned to stroll around Cannes.
Wen Ying likes the sea, and Cannes has very beautiful beaches, which perfectly suits Wen Ying's aesthetic.
Thinking about walking on the beach with Xie Qian, Wen Ying felt that it didn’t matter whether she could win the award the day after tomorrow.
Lin Wenxuan disagreed with her open-mindedness: "You are here to attend the Cannes Film Festival, how can you treat yourself as an ordinary tourist? Since your plan is just to stroll around, I will assume that you have no other plans. How about this, you come with me tomorrow and we will go to see a few movie screenings."
Lin Wenxuan was afraid that Wen Ying would refuse, so he asked Xie Qian for confirmation: "Don't you young people like to watch movies when you're in love? Xiao Xie, is it okay for you to watch a few movies with us?"
Wen Ying felt that there was something wrong with her.
——Director Lin, do you know that when young people in love like to watch movies, they only like to watch movies together as a couple?
Xie Qian knew that Lin Wenxuan would not make such a request casually, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation: "It is an honor for Wen Ying and me to appreciate the excellent films of the film festival with you, Director Lin."
Yuan Fenghui also did not give Wen Ying a chance to refuse, and agreed to Lin Wenxuan's invitation before Wen Ying.
"Director Lin, if you like it, I'll let Wen Ying carry your bags and run errands for you tomorrow."
Wen Ying knew why Xie Qian and Yuan Fenghui agreed so readily.
Being able to watch a movie with Lin Wenxuan not only allows you to hear Lin Wenxuan’s true feelings about the movie, but also allows you to accompany Lin Wenxuan to meet people for a day.
Wen Ying is very popular in China.
At the Cannes Film Festival, Wen Ying was just a nobody, and the nomination for "Best Screenplay" meant nothing.
Lin Wenxuan is different.
Lin Wenxuan knows too many people!
Any connections that slipped through Lin Wenxuan's fingers were those that the stingy Mr. Zhang was willing to pay for at his own expense!
Wen Ying was still hesitant, and Mr. Zhang almost couldn't help but pull Wen Ying away from Lin Wenxuan to take his place. Wen Ying sensed Mr. Zhang's jealousy and envy, and quickly changed her mindset: "I'm mainly afraid of disturbing you... If you don't mind, of course I'd like to stay by your side and listen to your teachings."
At Lin Wenxuan's level, he no longer cares about the flattery of ordinary people. He only enjoys it when someone as talented as Wen Ying flatters him. "I wouldn't call it teaching, but I actually want to hear your opinion, Xiao Wen. You young people have broader minds, and your perspective can sometimes give me some inspiration."
Once Wen Ying corrected her mindset, she quickly made Lin Wenxuan smile.
Lin Wenxuan immediately made a movie list for Wen Ying, and the two of them agreed to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
For a workaholic like Lin Wenxuan, it’s okay to let him watch a movie at six in the morning, but unfortunately this is France.
"The French are always resting..."
Lin Wenxuan couldn't understand why he had so much energy at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, but it was wasted like this!
Lin Wenxuan casually sighed, and Mr. Zhang and Yuan Fenghui both agreed.
The purpose of life is to work.
If you sleep in for an extra hour, how much less work will you do?
The French are indeed too casual and lack initiative and sense of responsibility!
