Chapter 480 Lin Chaoyang’s Influence(1/2)
After all, Lin Chaoyang went with Xie Jin. Blackmailing was of course a joke. He had been an old friend for so many years, and he was still willing to help as much as he could. The content of "Furong Town" was considered excessive by some people.
That's just their wishful thinking.
Since the 1980s, there have been many films produced in China that reflect the period of humanitarian torrent. Almost every one of them was shot and released without being questioned and embarrassed. But in the end, weren't all of them released?
There's no reason why it wouldn't work in "Furong Town".
What's more, the director of this film is still Xie Jin, and the screenwriter is Lin Chaoyang. "Ah, Comrade Chaoyang also participated in this film? Why is there no signature?"
In the office, Shi Fangyu looked stunned when he heard from Xie Jin that Lin Chaoyang actually participated in the screenwriting work of "Furong Town".
Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "It's a long story. At that time, Lao Xie asked Mr. Zhong's son Acheng to write a script. Acheng happened to be busy at the time, so I helped to revise the script without much effort.
There is no signature."
After he explained, he said to Shi Fangyu: "Comrade Fang Yu, the bureau has concerns about the film "Furong Town" and believes that this film may cause some controversy. Everyone can understand.
This is how I look at this issue. Wasn't there controversy over the country's selection of the site for Baosteel, the establishment of a special zone in Shenzhen, and the construction of the Three Gorges power station in the Yangtze River? Did we stop eating because of the controversy just because of the controversy?
The humanities and arts are less rigorous than the sciences, so this kind of controversy is even more inevitable.
It’s not terrible to be controversial, we can discuss it. Lao Xie has been deleting and editing scenes during this period, which can be said to be very cooperative with the work of our film bureau. To be fair, I think the ideological connotation and artistic appeal of "Furong Town" are very high
of.
Back then, the novels all won the Mao Dun Literary Award. There is no reason for them to become negative examples when it comes to movies. Do you think this is true?" After Lin Chaoyang and Xie Jin entered, Xie Jin first chatted with Shi Fangyu for a few words.
, Shi Fangyu’s expression was noncommittal.
Seeing this, Xie Jin told Lin Chaoyang about the relationship between "Furong Town" and winked at Lin Chaoyang. Lin Chaoyang had no choice but to stand up and say a few words about "Furong Town". While he was speaking, Shi
Fang Yu remained silent.
"The King of Children" just won an award at the West Berlin Film Festival. Because of this international award, everyone at the film bureau feels elated. In the past six or seven years, both the film bureau and film studios around the world have been very proud of it.
Chinese films have to put a lot of thought into going international.
In general, movies belong to propaganda management, and the purpose of this is of course to promote cultural propaganda and enhance China's external soft power. Unfortunately, over the years, little has been achieved.
If a movie wants to gain international influence, there are only two ways to do it. Either it has audience popularity or it has the chance to win awards.
Needless to say, audience popularity, most Chinese films can only be exported to socialist brother countries, and only high-quality films are eligible, let alone exported to other countries.
As for taking the road of winning awards, everyone has been trying it in recent years.
It won some small prizes, but its influence was worrisome and it didn't create any splash internationally at all.
It wasn't until this year that "The King of Children" won the Jury Prize at the West Berlin Film Festival and was reported by major European, American and international mainstream media.
Only then did the shadow of Chinese films finally appear on the international film scene, and so many years of hard work for Chinese films bore a small but full fruit. Shi Fangyu knew very well that the success of "The King of Children" had a great deal to do with Lin Chaoyang
Because of the relationship, he naturally can't not give him any face.
Moreover, Shi Fangyu still clearly remembered that at the review meeting for "Garland Under the Mountain", Li Ying, the general secretary, personally said that Lin Chaoyang was related to a certain senior military general.
Regardless of whether it was public or private, Shi Fangyu seemed to have to give this face. Since he had to give it, he might as well be more generous.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Fangyu laughed heartily.
"What Comrade Chaoyang said makes sense, we really can't stop eating because of choking. As for "Furong Town", there are some minor problems, but overall there are no problems.
Since Director Xie has deleted some scenes, I don’t think it’s as good as this. I’ll organize another review meeting in the next two days to have a look. If there are no problems, we can arrange for it to be released.”
Seeing Shi Fangyu relaxed so happily, Lin Chaoyang was a little surprised.
Xie Jin was overjoyed. Even after leaving Shi Fangyu's office, he still couldn't believe it. "It's so strange that a man named Shi agreed to let him go so readily?"
Lin Chaoyang joked: "Just now I was saying 'Director Fang Yu', but now I am 'Shi'. Lao Xie, you change your face faster than Sichuan Opera!" Xie said disapprovingly: "If he rushes
I'm sure I'm grateful, but he didn't listen at all to what I said. It was obviously to give you face." "How can I have such a big face?"
"Why not? "King of Children" has just given the film system a face, and he has retired honorably this time. I guess he also wants to sell you a favor." "What's the use of selling me a favor?" Lin Chaoyang
Puzzled.
"Stop pretending to be stupid! Have you forgotten who filmed "High Mountain"? Just pretend I don't know.
Besides, even if you put aside your family relationship, your couple's film career is developing so well, he might be able to use you in the future, just think of it as a good relationship."
Lin Chaoyang nodded. If Shi Fangyu wanted to retire, this would indeed make sense.
Now that the censorship issue of "Furong Town" has been resolved, Lin Chaoyang asked Xie Jin, "How did you arrange it here?" "How else can you arrange it? Once the censorship is approved, it will be released as soon as possible. This movie has been in trouble for two years."
Xie Jin said with an impatient look on his face.
He then stayed in Yanjing for two more days. After the film "Furong Town" passed the review of the Film Bureau, Xie Jin made arrangements to treat Lin Chaoyang to a meal to express his gratitude. The banquet place was set at Fengze Garden, and Xie Jin also invited
Some old friends in Yanjing.
I heard that it was Lin Chaoyang who came forward to help Xie Jin solve the censorship issue of "Furong Town". Everyone was surprised that Lin Chaoyang had such a big reputation in the film bureau. They thought it was Lin Chaoyang who had just contributed to the overseas release of "The King of Children"
He is a celebrity in the film bureau who has made Chinese films famous.
After a lively party, Xie Jin flew back to Shanghai the next day to arrange for the release of "Furong Town". Because he wanted to help Xie Jin, Lin Chaoyang first asked Tao Yushu and the nanny Adi to take care of the two children.
Back to Xiangjiang
After Xie Jin left, he planned to fly back to Xiangjiang, but Li Tuo persuaded him to stay.
After two years of national excellence, the short story award will be awarded again at the end of March, and their cultural salon can be held again. "The process is familiar, you can do it yourself."
"That won't work. Without you as my backbone, I have no idea. Everyone is here for you." Li Tuo was afraid that Lin Chaoyang would run away to Xiangjiang, and seeing Tian'er pestering him, Lin Chaoyang felt helpless.
It is definitely impossible for him to run a cultural salon. Being a mascot is more like it.
Li Tuo and his group were responsible for all matters, and Lin Chaoyang was happy to be the hands-off shopkeeper. He had nothing to do that day, so he ran to Xidan.
Today is the anniversary event of the Asia-Europe Garment City. Colorful flags were displayed at the entrance of Xidan Mall early in the morning, and people were crowded. The format of the anniversary event is similar to that of the opening last year, with stage performances, celebrity performances, and lottery draws.
Du Feng called his comrades from the former art troupe to perform. In the morning, active or retired actors from the art troupe were performing. Later in the day, stars appeared on the stage. At around ten o'clock in the morning, stars finally appeared on the stage.
With a tall and straight figure, a delicate face like a knife, and a graceful dance, Fei Xiang made a brilliant appearance while singing "You are like a fire in the winter." The front door of Xidan Mall was boiling in an instant!
At this moment, the cheers and shouts went straight into the clouds and thunder, and the entire Xidan North Street was affected by this huge sound wave.
Countless young girls and young wives shouted desperately, the crowd surged like ocean waves, and the scene was simply many times more enthusiastic than the top-notch appearances in later generations.
"Your big eyes
bright and flashing
Like stars in the sky
The brightest one
You are like that fire
On the stage, Fei Xiang sang and danced hard, and the audience was mesmerized.
"Fire! It's so hot!" Du Feng stood upstairs in Xidan shopping mall, looking at the fiery scene outside through the window glass, and muttered to himself.
Following his gaze, along the entrance of Xidan Shopping Mall to both sides of Xidan North Street, half of the street was crowded with citizens watching the excitement. If safety measures had not been taken in advance, Du Feng would have no problem watching the excitement here.
.
After being lost in thought for a while, Du Feng came back to his senses.
He smiled and said to Lin Chaoyang: "It seems that this year is another good year!"
Lin Chaoyang nodded with a relaxed expression, and the two talked about the location of the new clothing city. Du Feng has been busy with this matter during the New Year period.
Du Feng has great ambitions to open in Shanghai first and then in Shijiazhuang in September. In the end, it was the development of the Asia-Europe Garment City in Yanjing this year that gave him huge confidence.
Although it has only been a year, when people in Yanjing now talk about buying clothes, the first choice of most people must be "Eurasian Clothing City".
Even though the prices of clothes here are much higher than those in department stores, clothing stores, and street stalls outside, there is still no way to stop people's enthusiasm for buying.
In this year, Asia-Europe Garment City has completely conquered the hearts of Yanjing citizens with its quality and service.
After talking about business matters and watching the excitement, Lin Chaoyang planned to leave.
Du Feng suddenly said: "Brother-in-law, are your and my sister's companies still short of people?
Lin Chaoyang looked at him doubtfully, "Is anyone looking for a job?"
Not ideal.”
"My former colleagues from the art troupe. In the past few years, the army has been CJ, and many people from the art troupe have left each year. Yesterday I had a drink with them. There were a few people who had a good relationship with me in the past. The work assignment was "Can't you arrange it in the clothing city?"
Du Feng said: "They are all my comrades in arms, so it is inappropriate to arrange them in the clothing city."
Lin Chaoyang nodded slightly, Du Feng was indeed becoming more and more mature now.
The relationship between comrades-in-arms is not appropriate for both public and private arrangements in one's own company.
"Can I go to Xiangjiang?" Lin Chaoyang asked.
Du Feng said with a smile: "They just want it. They want to go to a good place."
Lin Chaoyang pondered.
Du Feng's comrades are all members of the art troupe. They can engage in theatrical performances, but they are definitely amateurs in making movies.
Being able to work in Xiangjiang these days is basically the same as going abroad.
