Lin Chaoyang's words are very skillful. "Hollywood is not suitable for you" and "You are not suitable for Hollywood" just reverse the main and object structure, but the effects are completely different.

Chen Kaige was a little disappointed and said sadly: "I just want to see the scenery outside!"

Good guy, this arm is for you to pretend.

I filmed "Farewell My Concubine", how did you look like this?

Lin Chaoyang was complaining in his heart, but he also felt that it was worth a while to make a movie "Farewell My Concubine".

"Wrong! A big mistake!" Lin Chaoyang said decisively,

Chen Kaige showed doubts on his face, not understanding what Lin Chaoyang means?

"On the road of art, the concept of "If the mountain does not come to me, I will walk towards the mountain" is unparalleled.

To achieve extraordinary achievements, you must have strong self-confidence. What is strong self-confidence?

It is not just self-righteousness, nor self-admiration, but a kind of faith rooted in one's own creative ability and aesthetic taste.

I believe that what I photograph can resonate with most people and give the public an artistic aesthetic enjoyment.

Of course, it is not a sin to blindly cater to a certain group, but it can easily cause you to lose your artistic pursuits and characteristics.

Kego, do you want to be a mediocre commercial director or a famous film history?”

Chen Kaige was still hesitating, but was so excited by Lin Chaoyang's words that he was irritated, especially the saying "Being a mediocre commercial film director is still a famous film history", which made him feel that the youthful spirit that he had not had for a long time was stirred up in his heart.

"Uncle Lin, of course I will choose the latter!" Chen Kaige replied firmly.

"Okay." Lin Chaoyang nodded with a look of relief, "It's right to have this goal. I'll see the book "Like Father and Son" is good. You can shoot that next movie."

"good."

It's right?

Chen Kaige responded and realized that he came to Uncle Lin to learn from the scriptures. How did he give the next drama?

"Uncle Lin, the book "Like Father and Son" is not suitable for me."

"Like Father and Son" tells the story of a happy family who suddenly learned that their 6-year-old child was taken wrong in the hospital when they were born and fell into a family ethical dilemma.

The idea was created by Lin Chaoyang. The screenwriter of Lin's Film gave two adaptations at that time, one focused on family affection, and finally became "Like Father and Like Son". Under the guidance of Lin Chaoyang, it was 90% similar to Yukazu Koreed's representative work.

.

The other one focuses on love and becomes the Hong Kong version of "Blue Life and Death Love", which was spotted by Star TV and plans to invest in the TV series and take the idol drama route.

There are three treasures in Korean dramas, car accidents, cancer, and poor medical treatment.

It is a bit vulgar, but it can capture the taste of the main audience.

"Wrong, wrong again."

When Chen Kaige heard these words, he instinctively retreated a little. He didn't know where he was wrong again, so he could only look at Lin Chaoyang quietly.

"Kego, what kind of personality do you think you are?"

Lin Chaoyang's question made Chen Kaige hesitate. People's understanding of themselves is always subjective.

Summarizing one's own personality in front of others must be more modest. While he was thinking about how to speak, Lin Chaoyang spoke again.

"I'm not wrong, full of emotions, free and easy, right?"

Chen Kaige looked at Lin Chaoyang's eyes, and Uncle Lin's eyes were as sharp as a torch.

"Your emotions are delicate and rich, and you are naturally sensitive to the emotions between people. This is your unique advantage, just like Yimou's natural perception of pictures and colors.

"Like Father and Son" talks about family affection. Such a book is best suited to your style. People can only succeed in the field they are good at. Do you understand?"

Chen Kaige thoughtfully, nodded slowly in Lin Chaoyang's gaze, "I understand."

Lin Chaoyang had a kind smile on his face, with the kindness unique to his elders, "That's right."

What kind of cultural and humanistic expressions are most suitable for you.

After seeing off Chen Kaige who was full of worries, Li Hanxiang enthusiastically grabbed Lin Chaoyang, saying that he hadn't seen him for a long time, and that he would call a few friends to gather together no matter what.

He arranged a circle and called Wu Siyuan, Yue Hua and Xu Guanwen. Everyone ran to the magic lamp seafood restaurant on Shanghai Street.

This restaurant is a fly restaurant, but the taste is authentic and is very famous among the old foods in Hong Kong.

Five people ordered a table of dishes, and while drinking, Wu Siyuan was busy with the release of "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong: Men Should Strengthen Self-Strength" in the mainland last month.

After Comrade Tian reported to the above work at the beginning of the year, he organized and drafted the document "Several Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Film Industry Mechanism", which aims to adapt the film industry to the socialist market economic system.

The document was opposed by the issuing companies of various provinces and municipalities in China during the drafting stage, but it was officially released and implemented in June this year.

Instigated by Tao Yushu, the butterfly wings, the 93 reforms in the film industry were half a year ahead of history.

The "Opinions on Reform of the Film Industry" was officially issued, abolishing the unified purchase and sale of the film industry.

The reform of radio and television first cut itself, and China Film Company lost its position to unify the world of domestic feature films.

Theoretically, studios in various places can connect with distribution companies in various provinces and cities to negotiate a box office distribution mechanism.

To achieve win-win results with the publisher and theater chain, local studios naturally welcome this document with both hands. "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong: Men Should Strengthen Self-Reliance" is the second movie in the series, and it is with Yan Film Studio.

Co-shoot by Zhuzhou Film Studio.

According to the new regulations of the "Opinions on Reform of the Film Industry", Hong Kong and mainland co-production movies can also participate in box office sharing.

Even if there are mainland studios that share profits and accounts, this is definitely a major benefit for Lin's Pictures.

However, industry reform is a major event, and the content of the document is obviously beneficial to the studio. Everyone still can't see the pros and cons of the issuing unit clearly. Anyway, the workload will definitely increase significantly compared to before.

After all, in the past, we only needed to connect with China Film Company, but now we have become connected with studios in various places.

Therefore, provincial distribution companies are not enthusiastic about film reform, and there are even many distribution companies in private confrontation.

Knowing this situation, Wu Siyuan joined forces with the director of Yan Film Factory Cheng Zhigu to go south last month and first ran to Yongle Film Co., Ltd. in Shanghai.

Yongle Film Co., Ltd. was previously the Shanghai Film Distribution Office, and this year it has just been restructured into the first film joint-stock company in the country.

Wu Siyuan and Cheng Zhigu talked about Wu Mengchen of Yongle Company, and Yongle obtained the right to issue "The Grandmaster Huang Feihong: Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing" in Shanghai for a guaranteed price of 1 million yuan.

If the box office share exceeds the guaranteed price, Yan Film Studio, Zhu Film Studio and Lin's Film Studio can also receive a 35% share as producers.

This film is no longer distributed through China Film Company, marking the official disintegration of the economic system of China's film distribution plan.

To this end, the comrades from the Radio and Television Department rushed to Shanghai to attend the premiere of "Men Should Strengthen Self-Enhancing". The film reform was strongly promoted by him, and the intention of this move was undoubtedly revealed.

With experience in Shanghai, Wu Siyuan and Cheng Zhigu took "Men Should Be Self-reliant" all the way west, going to the JS Provincial Film Distribution Company, which now has the highest number of copies of movies, but encountered boycotts from the JS Provincial Film Distribution Company.

After the failure, the two of them were not angry and directly bypassed the provincial issuance company and transferred to a joint negotiation with several municipal issuance companies in Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou. The two sides hit it off.

On June 12, 1993, "Men Should Be Self-reliant" was directly released to these places, which became the first example that can be released after the provincial company is not released smoothly. It is called "Jiangsu Breakthrough" in the film industry.

Throughout June, Wu Siyuan and Cheng Zhigu traveled all over East China, and in various provinces in South China, Sun Changcheng, the director of Zhuzhou Film Studio, was responsible for the release of the movie in Guangdong and Guangxi, and made "Men Should Be Self-reliant" release half of China.

The result was also very gratifying. In Shanghai alone, the box office revenue of "Men Should Strengthen Self-Reliance" exceeded 1 million yuan in the first week of its release.

By early July, the movie was released in various provinces and cities in mainland China for 1,020 days. According to rough statistics from local distribution companies, the box office revenue of "Men Should Strengthen Self-Reliance" reached 8.5 million yuan.

"Looking at the moment, the box office in the mainland is expected to exceed 15 million. 35% of the account share ratio. If we share it with the studio, it will only be more than 5 million.

It doesn't seem to be much, but it's a very good breakthrough.

Mrs. Lin has a big picture view of his work. After the Wandao lifted the restrictions on the participation of mainland personnel and funds the year before yesterday, he actively planned to make a co-production film.

"Men Should Be Self-reliant" is just the beginning. From now on, we will cooperate with mainland studios with no less than 6 movies every year, and the company's box office revenue will increase significantly."

Listening to Wu Siyuan talking about the inside story of the movie being released in the mainland, Lin Chaoyang said:

"The market size of the mainland is far from being developed, and there is great potential in the future.

But don't be too optimistic. Now the film companies in Xiangjiang and Wandao are rushing to the mainland to make co-productions.

The mainland will definitely not sit idly by and watch the trend of co-production films continue so unscrupulously."

After 90 years, the mainland film industry has set off a trend of co-production. Because of its mature commercial style, these co-production films have achieved remarkable box office sales in the mainland.

By 1994, 7 of the top 10 domestic movies were co-productions. Under such circumstances, the mainland had to introduce policies to start limiting the number of co-productions.

Wu Siyuan knew that Lin Chaoyang and his wife had a deep foundation in the mainland, and thought he had received some news in advance, so he nodded tacitly.

Li Hanxiang, who was standing beside him, drank three points of drunkenness, came over with blurred eyes, hugged Wu Siyuan, and said with emotion:

"The situation when Chaoyang and Yushu came to Xiangjiang that year is still vivid in my mind. Unexpectedly, after so many years have passed, Lin Chaoyang and Wu Siyuan stopped the topic and started chatting with a smile.

Li Hanxiang and Lin Chaoyang met in "Political Affairs from the Curtain". They have been in contact for ten years, but to say that they have a deep relationship, it was after Lin Chaoyang and his wife came to Hong Kong to develop.

In recent years, he has taken advantage of the ride-hailing of Lin's Pictures. While working as an art consultant for Lin's Pictures, he also took into account film investment and made tens of millions.

Whenever I think of it, I feel that my decision back then was extremely wise and proud.

"Yes, what is even more unexpected is that the Chaoyang couple has now become one of the richest people in Xiangjiang, comparable to Li Ka-shing!" Yue Hua said in an exaggerated tone.

Speaking of the speed of Lin Chaoyang and his wife's rise, everyone present was inevitably amazed even as friends.

In just six or seven years, he became a person on the top of the city's pyramids, which is a wealth myth.

Lin Chaoyang waved his hand, "Blind, it's boring to say this!"

Li Hanxiang echoed: "That's right, talking about money is really boring to Chaoyang."
