It is said that Lin Hao's price was based on the 7 million that Andy Lau received when he starred in "A World Without Thieves". The fixed remuneration share was finally settled. It is indeed a lot, but it cannot be said to be greedy: hire a big star and get some blood.

To be honest, although Feng Dapao will feel pain...

But it really didn't hurt as much as he showed.

If nothing else, let’s just talk about the pre-roll advertisement he was thinking about before. Hey, Lin Hao is an actor who rarely appears in front of the media on his own initiative, has low exposure, and has very few endorsements. His works have become popular overseas, and everyone is very curious about him.

, you would say that his overall domestic commercial value is pretty good:

If you want to see him in person, just buy a ticket and go to the cinema.

In addition, the box office was very good before, and the alliance between the two powers means that the post-advertisement will cost more money, not to mention the popularity of the topic and the overseas box office after the release...especially the latter, that is, before "A World Without Thieves"

Things I never dare to think about:

The domestic box office is difficult to support, but the most conservative estimate of Lin Hao's current overseas box office is that it is not difficult to earn seven or eight million US dollars, which would be almost 60 million soft girl coins in exchange...

So you see, the drama is still not uncomfortable, but maybe the calculations are not as strong.

Lin Hao is filming overseas, and now his salary has already exceeded this amount.

In domestic literary and artistic films, he has always been for poverty alleviation, and he has said that if you have a good book, you can find a studio to try it; but for this kind of commercial film, Lin Hao, to be honest, he is really sincere - after all, commercial films

It's not to improve his personality/acting skills.

Everyone is here to make money, so there is no need to act stupid.

So we probably discussed it for a while, mainly about the issue of advertising placement. After the two houses were almost connected, the formal contract should be signed. Director Feng finally took a sip of the coffee in the cup and said goodbye.

It's really bitter, but also a little sweet.

...

After finishing this matter, the next thing came: the symposium, which is a big event.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Dongzhimen.

"Haozi!"

Before Lin Hao went upstairs, he heard someone shouting. When he looked up, it turned out that it was Lou Ye waving to him from the gap in the stairs. Fortunately, there was no one around now, but Lin Hao still hurried up to organize this fool.

In the private room of the restaurant on the third floor, Lin Hao met Lou Ye and Lao Jia. As the meeting was approaching, the participating directors also came one after another. They also heard that they were interviewing underground directors for the first time.

The lifting of the ban on the Sixth Generation.

But no one is sure. During this time, we always get together to exchange news and chat with each other.

Commonly known as: thinking blindly.

"How are you? How do you feel?"

"Waiting to be sentenced, what do you think?" Lou Ye laughed at himself.

The three of them laughed. If it was really like this, they wouldn't have resisted before. Didn't the sixth generation resist all the time? But really, they were all pretty good. Jia Zhangke had been contacted before, and Lou Ye was even more so.

"Purple Butterfly" has turned to the ground...

Although this movie is GG.

Lou Ye once again put on a big job and directly defeated a lot of actors. But in any case, he didn't feel depressed now. Everyone just chatted for a while, and the young waiter cautiously came over to ask for an autograph while serving the food.

The two of them booed and laughed for a while, but Lin Hao is indeed pretty good in China now - he is the one who got the highest bonus in "Hero". His pretending to catch an arrow in the air was talked about a lot

Happy Tao.

Lin Hao didn't show any pretense. He signed the signature for the waiter generously and told him not to wait at the door.

As soon as they left, everyone started chatting among themselves:

"Investors don't have much confidence in our sixth-generation directors."

"There is a lack of a relatively young group of producers and an imaginative distribution and marketing group."

"Movies still need balance, and I still think we can take our time."

Then we got to the main topic and started to get excited:

"I think there is absolutely no need to impose this restriction..."

"In what age are you still thinking this can't be photographed?"

"I think it will be better only when the next group of people come up."

Eh? Why do they sound familiar? These words... I seem to hear them often in 2020.

...

Everyone ordered a few dishes, basically just ate a few chopsticks, and mainly chatted. This chat lasted for almost two hours, and there were constant complaints. In fact, Lin Hao understood it very well, but he felt that some of the suggestions were also inappropriate.

To be discussed.

For example, when it comes to ideology, you don’t have to make a big show of it, but you can’t ignore it: Isn’t cultural invasion scary? There are many people on the Internet who worship foreigners. But it’s not good to go too far. It will only lead to blind fanaticism and populism.

So after all is said and done, Lin Hao feels that the most important thing is the degree.

It just can’t be one size fits all! It’s the same for both parties.

Similarly, this meeting is really just a matter of degree. Although I went with the mentality of "They have already formulated it, I just asked you to go over and see what can be fine-tuned," I still wanted to make some suggestions.

Lin Hao's suggestion is to grasp the priorities and not put too much emphasis on some wishes that are unlikely to be realized.

Jia Zhangke then became anxious:

"No, how rare is this opportunity to communicate directly with the higher-ups? We want to mention some things that are conducive to the development of Chinese films."

Lou Ye also answered:

"Yes, I think I still need to give feedback if I have any opinions."

Lin Hao was also a little bit annoyed with these two people. He didn't know that he had talked too much with others recently and was a little too optimistic: "You really don't think that the boss doesn't know this, do you?"

"...Maybe." Jia Zhangke felt a little guilty.

"Yes, there must be something I don't know."

Lin Hao first nodded in agreement, and then said: "But some of the suggestions you mentioned are difficult to implement. I can tell you that I only told the leader two days ago about the movie classification you mentioned."

"What did he say?"

Lin Hao's black line: "Don't act like you're looking forward to it. If there's going to be a show, I told you already, didn't I?"

...

My balls hurt, I feel embarrassed, I feel confused...

Jia Zhangke's feeling at this moment was like waking up in the afternoon and seeing flaming clouds all over the sky with the setting sun, and it was a bit chaotic for a moment.

"Okay, okay!"

After Lin Hao finished attacking the two people, he said: "It's not that I won't let you give feedback, but you should also pay attention to some things that are easier to implement and less conflicting. For example, applying for filming, distribution, and license procedures.

On..."

He gave a lot of practical, policy and process opinions, and then said: "In this way, some vital interests can be protected."

"..."

Both of them were silent and knew that these things were indeed very useful and practical.

"Okay, you can add it in when the time comes."

"That's fine."

After Lin Hao finished speaking, he nodded and stopped talking.

He also had no right to make decisions for others. The main issue was still with the sixth generation. He attacked them mainly because he was afraid that these men would be too high-spirited and angry, and what would happen if they slammed the door and left:

The two sides have been grudges for a long time. How can we say that negotiations will be smooth sailing all of a sudden and everyone will be happy?

He didn't even believe it when he said it.

Maybe he is more of a businessman, and first strives for some practical conditions, which must be successful; and then gradually spreads upwards, but does not hold out any hope of success - instead of having a particularly enjoyable quarrel, there may be changes in the end.

But there may be no benefits, and you still have to survive under other people's systems.

So, don’t think too well of the other person: don’t expect the sixth generation to be obedient, and don’t expect the sixth generation to accept much advice from you.

But don't be too frustrated.

You have to eat your food one bite at a time, and this symposium means that at least everyone's intention is to develop in a good place.

As for the final result...
Chapter completed!
