Chapter 209 Failed to pass the review
"Oriental Entertainment Weekly" was very quick. Less than a week after returning from the interview, the first special issue of their weekly newspaper was published, and he did not forget to send a copy to Lin Zhimo.
On the cover are four different styles of Lin Zhimo, in a row in a row - the one on the left is the singer style holding a microphone, and to the right, the second one is the actor style wearing ancient costumes, the third one is the director style standing behind the camera, and the fourth one is the entrepreneur style sitting in a suit and tie behind the boss's desk.
Each picture was taken by them incredibly exquisitely, and even with Lin Zhimo's eyes, there was no problem at all.
Turning on the closed page, on the left side of the title page is a large half-body picture of Zhimo smiling calmly. In the picture, Lin Zhimo was wearing a white T-shirt and a green jade necklace around his neck. He revealed a kind of nobility in his leisure and elegance.
On the right side of the title page is the resume style content, which introduces Lin Zhimo's height and age in detail, and lists Lin Zhimo's representative works.
Although it is a special issue, perhaps because of its first issue, "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" obviously wants to have a good start, so the content is very substantial. Not only are there many previous photos of Lin Zhimo and even have a behind-the-scenes look at Zhimo when filming film and television works.
As soon as this special issue was released, it immediately caused a crazy purchase from all Lin Zhimo fans. After selling 50,000 copies in the first batch, it actually had to add 50,000 copies for the second time to meet market demand.
"Editor Sun, you need to thank me well." After the sales volume came out, Editor Sun specially called Lin Zhimo to report the good news. Lin Zhimo joked when he heard the sales figure.
"Haha. It must be certain. I will definitely do it next time Mr. Lin comes to Xia Hai! But this also shows how popular you are at present, Mr. Lin." Sun Yaohai revealed his affection in his words.
Although he said he wanted to choose Lin Zhimo when he chose the cover character of the first issue, there were actually different opinions in the newspaper. However, as the sales results of more than 100,000 copies were released, everyone who questioned had nothing to say, which made Sun Yaohai have a great glory in front of the newspaper boss.
In Sun Yaohai's opinion, Lin Zhimo seemed to have become his lucky star. When he met Lin Zhimo for the first time, he asserted that he would become the editor-in-chief of the revised weekly newspaper. Unexpectedly, the prophecy came true. This interview was because Sun Yaohai supported Lin Zhimo in the newspaper and led the team in person. Unexpectedly, this contact proved the correctness of his vision.
It is said that the newspaper owner is already considering whether to promote him to become vice president, which makes Sun Yaohai always feel humble when talking to Lin Zhimo again.
"Haha. This not only shows how popular I am. It also proves that your newspaper is taking this step very correctly, and it also shows how unique your boss's vision is." Lin Zhimo understood the principle of people holding people in flower sedan chairs, and also praised Sun Yaohai very much.
Lin Zhimo and Sun Yaohai were following the phone call and heard the door of their office being knocked, and the sound was still very fast. Then they saw Huo Xiwen coming in with a calm face.
"Editor Sun. I still have some things to deal with here. Let's continue talking to you next time."
"Okay, then Mr. Lin, you are busy, I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhimo asked, "Sister Wen, what's wrong?"
Huo Xiwen handed a piece of paper to Lin Zhimo and said: "The movie review failed."
A few days ago, Lin Zhimo completed the post-production of the film and then sent it to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review, hoping to catch up with next year's Berlin Film Festival, but unexpectedly, Huo Xiwen brought such news now.
“Not passed?!”
Lin Zhimo asked back and quickly took the document and started reading it. After a moment, he angrily laughed: "What does this mean? What does it mean to deliberately vilify the harmonious environment of society and be unfavorable to social unity? What a big hat!"
Huo Xiwen also rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "I have contacted the bureau too. It is said that the chief trialist of the film script did not pass this time. I think there are too many shots about insulting women in our movie, and we need to delete them all."
"Delete all?!" Lin Zhimo slapped the table and said angrily: "What's left in this video after deleting all!"
Huo Xiwen saw Lin Zhimo's anger and quickly persuaded: "Zhimo, don't be angry, calm down first and think about what to do, calm down!"
Lin Zhimo breathed a long sigh when he heard this. He was confused when he was concerned. After all, Lin Zhimo still had high expectations for his first movie. Perhaps because of the type of film, Lin Zhimo did not have much expectations for the final box office of this film, but he still had a lot of ambitions for the artistic aspects of the film.
Lin Zhimo walked out from behind the slump desk, thought for a while and asked, "Sister Wen, what do you mean by them? There was no problem when the original script was sent. Why is the video stuck now?"
Huo Xiwen thought about it and guessed: "Are they asking us for benefits?"
Lin Zhimo's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he said, "Even if we ask for benefits, we can't give them, otherwise the opening will not stop the car. After they taste the benefits, they will block us from time to time... In this way, I will contact Director Yuan Delong to see what he has to say?"
Lin Zhimo took out his cell phone and dialed Yuan Delong's phone number.
"Uncle Yuan, it's me, Zhimo. How are you doing recently? I haven't seen you for some time... It's okay, everything is fine, but the recent review of this video was apart from some minor problems... OK, OK, then I'll wait for your news." Lin Zhimo hung up the phone after telling these situations like Yuan Delong.
"Zhimo, how about it? What does Director Yuan Delong say?" Huo Xiwen asked with concern.
"It's hard to say now. Director Yuan said that this kind of thing would not happen generally. If it happens, there are only two reasons. One is that we offended the people inside, and the other is what we just analyzed. Taking this opportunity to get stuck." Lin Zhimo said to Huo Xiwen.
"What should we do now?" Huo Xiwen asked with a frown.
"Wait." Lin Zhimo sighed: "I can only wait."
Half an hour later, Lin Zhimo received a call from Yuan Delong.
"Zhimo, this time things are a little bad. Do you still remember the situation of the Golden Eagle Festival some time ago?" Yuan Delong's tone was a little low.
Lin Zhimo was stunned: "Remember, Uncle Yuan, does this have anything to do with us?"
Yuan Delong said: "You don't understand, simply because a leader in the bureau was dismissed from his post when he was involved in the Golden Eagle Festival, and then a new leader was transferred..."
"If the new official takes office, you will be in charge of three things?" Lin Zhimo said with a wry smile.
"Yes, unfortunately, this fire burned us." Yuan Delong was helpless about this.
The rules in the officialdom: when a newly appointed official first arrives in that position, he usually establishes his authority through some things. The video Lin Zhimo sent for trial accidentally became the chicken in the other party's way of killing the chicken to warn the monkey.
"Uncle Yuan, can't we do anything?" Lin Zhimo asked unwillingly. This video embodies a lot of his efforts, and Lin Zhimo would not give up if he had a chance.
"Oh, it's hard to say, but I'm thinking of a way to see if I can talk to the other party." Yuan Delong didn't expect this, but he also knew that Lin Zhimo attached great importance to this film, so he said again: "But Zhimo, don't worry too much. This matter should not be his original intention. At most, next summer, even if you don't change a single shot, this movie will definitely pass the review."
Lin Zhimo was relieved when he heard this, but no one knew what happened next summer, so he felt annoyed again, but he still expressed his gratitude to Yuan Delong.
"What's the result?" Huo Xiwen had been waiting for the latest news in Lin Zhimo's office. When she saw Lin Zhimo hung up the phone, she immediately asked.
Lin Zhimo sat on the sofa with his butt, resting his head on the backrest of the sofa and retelled Yuan Delong's words.
"Zhimo, what impact will it have on the video if it passes the review next year?" Huo Xiwen was a little relaxed, just like Lin Zhimo. After all, the other party was not specifically targeting Lin Zhimo.
Lin Zhimo spread his hands and said, "Who can say this accurately? Maybe it will still not be passed, maybe it will be passed, but it must be revised on a large scale, just like "Zhou Yu's Train", or maybe it will pass the review very smoothly, nothing is happening..."
"Zhou Yu's Train" was completed last month, but it was rejected by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television believed that the film's passionate drama was a bit large and needed to be modified. However, Sun Zhou was not a easy-to-talk director, and there was some connection behind it, so he became involved with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
After a while, I have not passed the review yet, but this process has inspired another inspiration from Sun Zhou. I simply discussed with Lin Zhimo and Gong Li and others again to reshoot some shots next year and then send them to review.
Lin Zhimo didn't want his movie to end up with the same result as in "Zhou Yu's Train", but he also knew that this matter would not be too urgent.
Although Lin Zhimo was worried about this matter, he did not bring his bad mood to his house at all. After returning home, he still said and smiled as usual.
"Brother, is there something wrong with our company's movie?" Lin Zhimo didn't say anything, but Lin Yumo saw something. After dinner, he pulled Lin Zhimo aside and asked.
"How did you know?" Lin Zhimo was extremely surprised. Except for several company supervisors, no one else knew about this, but he didn't expect that Lin Yumo would actually know about it now.
"Hmph, don't underestimate your sister!"
Chapter completed!
