After Lin Zhimo went downstairs and returned to the company, there was still a smile on his face, which made Huo Xiwen very curious: "Zhimo, why do you look so happy, did the meeting with Director Chen go well this time?"

"Smooth? No, it wasn't smooth at all. Director Chen and I didn't even have a total of five sentences at the wine table, including the one about introducing ourselves." Because of Zeng Mengquan's big backer, Lin Zhimo, So I felt very relaxed, and said with a smile as he wiped Huo Xiwen's smooth and delicate chin.

"Go, don't make any moves in the company." Although he has been frank with Lin Zhimo countless times, Huo Xiwen is still a little shy about Lin Zhimo's intimate gestures.

Pushing away Lin Zhimo's hand with a slightly red face, he said angrily, "Then why are you still so happy, won't you be irritated?"

Lin Zhimo giggled, pointed to his cheek and said, "Sister Wen, just express it and I'll tell you the reason."

Huo Xiwen gave Lin Zhimo an angry look: "I won't do such a thing like a sheep's mouth, whether you like it or not!" She knew that the matter was obviously done, so she directly rejected Lin Zhimo's unreasonable Require.

Lin Zhimo shrugged and said helplessly, "Sister Wen, do you remember what happened at my house a few days ago?"

Huo Xiwen nodded: "Of course I know. Didn't you recognize an uncle and grandpa whom you haven't seen in decades? Why, what happened today has something to do with them?"

Huo Xiwen's thinking was very sharp, and from Lin Zhimo's tone, he deduced that what happened today should have something to do with the newly recognized family.And it's a good thing.

"Bingo! Sister Wen, you are right. Today I ran into an uncle from my uncle's family. If I guessed correctly, he should be a deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department." Lin Zhimo was in the hotel because The ups and downs of the matter were a bit big, so I didn't have time to ask Yuan Delong what the identity of his cheap uncle was, but he thought about it on the way back.

Although Yanjing City claims that throwing a stone at random can hit the director, but there are not many ministers who can make a department-level deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to curry favor with them. It is possible that the Central Propaganda Department of China directly leads the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and CCTV!

Lin Zhimo believes that his uncle should not be the head of the Central Propaganda Department, otherwise he should often see him on TV, so the only possibility is the deputy head of the Central Propaganda Department.

"Deputy head of the Central Propaganda Department!" Huo Xiwen gasped.A pair of beautiful eyes are full of incredible.Although he is a Xiangjiang native.But Huo Xiwen, who has lived in the mainland for a long time, already knows how much power a deputy minister level official has in the mainland, let alone the deputy minister of the leading organization directly under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

"Zhimo, if this is the case, as long as you don't make some reactionary films, then no matter what works you produce in the future, there won't be any problems!" Huo Xiwen said excitedly.

Lin Zhimo couldn't help smiling when he heard the words: "Yes. When I went to the family dinner a few days ago, I only knew that my uncle and the uncle who was a soldier were both officials. But the specific identities But I didn’t have the nerve to ask, I didn’t expect that today would give me such a big surprise!”

A few days ago, after Lin Zhimo's grandfather Lin Yuezong agreed to his grandmother to visit Zeng Yufu, Lin Zhimo's family met with Zeng Yufu's family the next day.Naturally, the period was filled with the warmth of various reunions, especially the two brothers and sisters Zeng Yujing and Zeng Yufu, who were dozens of years old, still hugged each other and cried.

But even so, the two families are inevitably a little strange, so they didn't ask about each other's identities in detail.In contrast, Lin Zhimo has become the most well-known person in this big family.

Zeng Yufu had two sons, the eldest son Zeng Songquan and the youngest son Zeng Mengquan.

Zeng Songquan is currently serving in the army, but Lin Zhimo's family does not know the specific position.Zeng Songquan also has a son who is now studying at a university in the United States. It is said that he is already an intern manager of a multinational company, and he can be called young and promising.

Zeng Mengquan is the deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department. He has a daughter with the famous singer Zhang Yuan, but she is much younger than Lin Yumo. She is only in her teens and still in elementary school.

The reason why Lin Zhimo didn't want to meet with Zeng Songquan was entirely because his uncle, a soldier, was very good at drinking, and he could drink a lot. Even though he was almost 50 years old now, he was no better than Lin Zhimo when it came to drinking. Make more concessions, and it is precisely because of this that Lin Zhimo was unwilling to go when Zeng Mengquan said that there would be Zeng Songquan tonight.

At the last family banquet, Lin Zhimo, as the only male in the younger generation, naturally undertook the task of pouring wine and toasting, so Zeng Songquan saw Lin Zhimo's drinking capacity, so he insisted on competing with Lin Zhimo After some time, after Lin Zhimo and him drank five bottles of liquor, Zeng Songquan finally fell down under the table while shouting.

Although Lin Zhimo was just a little dizzy, and was far from the point where I would not go against the wall, he was still a little apprehensive about drinking with Zeng Songquan, because Zeng Songquan drank like a desperate Saburo, just that This boldness made Lin Zhimo feel uncomfortable.

But no matter how much reluctance Lin Zhimo has in his heart, he will go to the family banquet tonight, not to mention that the two families have just recognized their relatives, and Lin Zhimo must go based on what Zeng Mengquan said at noon. And tonight, Zeng Songquan must be accompanied.

So when the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television called the next morning, Lin Zhimo was still sleeping on the bed with a flushed face, and his breath still smelled of alcohol.

"Zhimo, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television called and asked us to submit the film for review." In the afternoon, Huo Xiwen said to Lin Zhimo who had just sobered up.

"Oh, really?" Lin Zhimo shook his head hard, trying to get rid of the effects of the hangover: "It seems that Director Chen reacted very quickly."

Huo Xiwen nodded and smiled and said, "I also asked someone about it. Your minister uncle is indeed the deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department. He is still the executive deputy minister and is very likely to become the next Central Propaganda Minister. That's why Director Chen It will be very good for us to send it back for review."

Lin Zhimo chuckled: "Since Director Chen asked us to submit for trial, we can't change anything... change the soundtrack."

"puff".

When Huo Xiwen heard the first half of Lin Zhimo's sentence, he really thought that Lin Zhimo wanted to change something, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he couldn't help laughing, pointed to Lin Zhimo's forehead and said, "You, It's really bad!"

Lin Zhimo spread his hands innocently: "I really don't know how to change it."

This time, the submission for review was undoubtedly passed quickly, and Director Chen personally called Lin Zhimo to tell Lin Zhimo that the film had passed the review. During the phone call, Director Chen also invited Lin Zhimo to a dinner party.

Naturally, Lin Zhimo didn't think that with Zeng Mengquan as his backer, he could pick on Director Chen, so he happily accepted Director Chen's invitation on the phone.The two of them naturally had a good time during the dinner.Director Chen realized his goal of befriending Lin Zhimo.And Lin Zhimo finally got a hint from Director Chen that as long as Lin Zhimo's movie does not hit the line, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will give the green light.

After the film passed the review, the big stone that had been hanging in Lin Zhimo's heart fell to the ground with a bang, and then Lin Zhimo sent the film to the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee without stopping.Participate in the selection of this year's Berlin Film Festival.As for the result, Lin Zhimo no longer cared.With Lin Zhimo's current strength.Still can't get in touch with foreign film forces, so I can only do my best and obey the destiny.

……

"Zhimo, we should also think about how to promote the movie." After Lin Zhimo returned to China, Huo Xiwen approached Lin Zhimo and said.

"Hmm. That's right, Sister Wen, have you thought of any good ideas?" Now that the film has passed the review, it's time to start planning and publicizing the film.

"No, the most important thing is that the topic of our movie is a bit too heavy. Some promotion methods such as mini games and winning prizes are not suitable for publicity. We can only follow the most traditional method." Huo Xiwen has also done it recently. A lot of homework, also considered a lot of methods, but in the end after comparison, it is safer to choose the traditional promotion.

"That's it..." Lin Zhimo didn't expect this to happen because of the subject matter.

Even from a global perspective, the box office of literary films is not high.Why?One reason is that the content of literary and artistic films mainly tells the truth of some things, and there is not much storytelling, and the audience does not like to watch them; the other reason is that the promotion is not strong enough.

Even a nonsense film will generate a certain amount of box office after full coverage promotion, but because of its own investment and content restrictions, literary films simply cannot spend enough funds for investment and promotion, so the box office is not high.

"Actually, there is a way..." Seeing Lin Zhimo's deeply frowned brows, Huo Xiwen said softly.

"Oh?" Lin Zhimo's eyes lit up suddenly, and he stared at Huo Xiwen with piercing eyes.

"Have you forgotten how those small-budget independent films in the United States are promoted?" Huo Xiwen said to Lin Zhimo with a playful smile.

"Ah! That's it!" Lin Zhimo slapped his forehead and sighed.

Some small-budget films in the United States have neither funds nor channels to promote them. What should we do?

Answer: Winner!

There is a famous film festival in the United States called "Sundance International Film Festival". This film festival is specially set up for some unknown filmmakers and films. It means that there are a lot of media to promote you for free. Maybe it doesn't take long, but the popularity has already started. At worst, some distribution companies will buy out your works.

Lin Zhimo's film this time did not pass the review at that time, so Lin Zhimo did not send it to the United States, but it is the same at the Berlin Film Festival now. Even if he does not win any awards, as long as he can enter the official competition unit, it is very good.

That's what Huo Xiwen came up with.

Don't think that now that Lin Zhimo has just sent the movie over, he can't promote it without even knowing the most basic results.There are so many true and false things in the entertainment industry, how many people will be true in the end?It's just a gimmick.

As long as the film "Don't Talk to Strangers" is always associated with the Berlin Film Festival when promoting it, even if Lin Zhimo gets nothing in the end, the film's reputation will be spread.It can be said that this can also be regarded as a marketing method, and no one will care about the slogan of the original promotion in the end, and Lin Zhimo will naturally not be so stupid as to leave any excuses during the promotion.

"Sister Wen, I'll leave this to you." Lin Zhimo thought of the benefits and said with a smile.

"I knew you would say that!" Huo Xiwen frowned: "Forget it, since you entrusted this matter to me, then you can refer to the investment plan for this film."

As he spoke, he threw a document onto Lin Zhimo's chest.

Lin Zhimo feigned a painful snort, and then opened a film investment plan.

"Ulan Tana?" Lin Zhimo couldn't help but looked up at Huo Xiwen, and said, "Sister Wen, you won't accept bribes from Brother Sanbao?" (To be continued...)
