ps: Thanks to the book friend "Xiao Jushi" for the valuable monthly ticket! !

What Lin Zhimo is holding in his hand is an investment plan for a film called "Warm Spring", which is a film about family affection directed by Mongolian director Ulan Tana.

Since Sanbao, a Mongolian, made the soundtrack in "Don't Talk to Strangers", Huo Xiwen also knows each other, and Sanbao and Ulantana are also very familiar with each other, so Lin Zhimo teased whether Huo Xiwen accepted it. Three treasures of bribery.

But even though he said so, Lin Zhimo didn't think so in his heart. After reading the document, he asked hesitantly: "Sister Wen, can this kind of movie recover the cost?"

"That depends on how you promote it." Huo Xiwen said: "Anyway, the investment is not very large, and even if you lose money, you won't lose much. Especially now that you have this relationship with Director Chen, you should receive some special funds from the national film industry. subsidies."

Seeing Huo Xiwen wink at him, Lin Zhimo also showed a smile on his face: "Well, robbing the rich and helping the poor is my consistent purpose in life, at least investing in this film is better than shooting those movies with the main theme that I don't know A lot, isn't it?"

The film proposal of "Warm Spring" is indeed very exquisite. Not only does it include the introduction of the actors of the script, but it even includes a few picture books by Ulantana.Of course, the most important thing is what Huo Xiwen said. The investment of this film is not high, that is, it can be won for about 300 million yuan. If the SARFT approves the film subsidy, the cost will be even less.

The 2002 Spring Festival Gala kicked off soon.Lin Zhimo, the singer and lyricist of the theme song for the Olympic bid, sang "Beyond Dreams" alone.

To be honest, Lin Zhimo likes this song, but compared to the song "because believe" written by Shakira, Lin Zhimo always feels that the momentum of this song is not enough. Thinking of this, Lin Zhimo got off the stage After that, Lin Zhimo called Shakira.

"Hello, Shakira, how are you doing recently?" Lin Zhimo would discuss a few words with her if there was any music melody in his mind, but because of the time difference, the two of them always talked not enough.There is always a sense of unfulfilled regret.

"Hey. Lin, I wanted to call you just now, you know? I just wrote a very nice song, listen..." After the phone was connected.Shakira didn't answer Lin Zhimo immediately.Instead, he began to talk endlessly about a piece of music that he wrote in a flash of inspiration recently.

"Oh. Really? That's really great! But can I make a little change in one third of the time..." Lin Zhimo immediately transformed it in his mind after hearing Shakira's humming voice on the phone Into a numbered notation, after a little thought, I will put forward my own opinion.

"Change it? What do you mean..." Shakira didn't stubbornly insist on hearing Lin Zhimo's opinion, but listened to Lin Zhimo's opinion obediently.Maybe she didn't even realize that the reason why she made this reaction has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's just a subconscious reaction.

In this way, the two discussed with each other about music, and the time passed slowly. After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhimo let out a long breath, and suddenly wanted to cooperate with Shakira for a while. song wish.

Lin Zhimo's future is bound to go abroad, and the easiest way to become famous abroad is to participate in the production of a foreign blockbuster, or to sing a song with a well-known singer.And now in terms of movies, although Lin Zhimo has gained a little fame by virtue of his status as the best actor in Berlin, it is still a bit short for him to participate in Hollywood A-level productions, so the best way now is to cooperate with well-known singers.

"But these still need to be considered in the long term." Lin Zhimo gave up after thinking about it for a while. After all, even Shakira's reputation in the United States is not so high so far. Only now can he be regarded as a first-line singer. Superstars are still far behind.

And if you want to rely on the cooperation with Shakira to gain popularity in the United States, it means that Lin Zhimo must come up with a song that can become a hit, a song that can directly establish Lin Zhimo's top music songs of human status.

But how can such a song be taken out as soon as it is said?Among so many classic songs written by Lin Zhimo so far, there are only a few of them that can be called the top songs, not to mention that he is still writing English songs that are completely different from Chinese songs.

But everything is afraid of no direction. Now that we have a general direction, the rest is to keep running hard in this direction. It may be tiring and slow at the beginning, but as long as we persist, we will eventually reach our destination. that day!

……

Not long after the Spring Festival, Lin Zhimo received news from Berlin that "Don't Talk to Strangers" was officially shortlisted for the competition of the Berlin Film Festival and participated in the competition for the Golden Bear Award!

Immediately after Lin Zhimo heard the news, he told Huo Xiwen, "Sister Wen, increase the promotion of the film immediately, and at the same time set the screening date for mid-March."

The reason why it was set in mid-March was to catch up with the March [-]th Women's Day. I wanted to take advantage of the time when the discussion about women in society was the most heated, and release this film that reflected women's harm in family life. It can receive the greatest viewing effect and strive for the greatest box office revenue.

After hanging up with Huo Xiwen, Lin Zhimo called the actors in the crew to inform them one by one, and then asked if he would like to go to Berlin for a stroll, yes, just a stroll.Although Lin Zhimo is very confident in his films, he doesn't think he can win the Golden Bear Award for his first film, and Lin Zhimo, who can win a special award from the jury, will be overjoyed up.

Lin Zhimo left for Berlin before the opening of the Berlin Film Festival. He came here to sell the foreign copyrights of his films.

Standing at the entrance of the movie market hall, Lin Zhimo was filled with emotion, remembering that if it wasn't for Wang Xiaoshuai's help when he came here for the first time.I'm afraid he will be kicked out by the security guards as a troublemaker, but now he walked in dignifiedly as a movie seller.

Lin Zhimo has no idea about how much money can be bought for the movie "Don't Talk to Strangers". After all, he has no experience in negotiating with foreign manufacturers, selling movies, or even shooting movies, so Lin Zhimo He simply became a hands-off shopkeeper, and the business of buying and selling was completely handed over to professionals, while he himself just listened and didn't talk about it.

By the day of the official opening of the Berlin Film Festival, the copyright of the film "Don't Talk to Strangers" had been sold to more than ten countries including Spain, France, and Germany, with a total income of about 100 million euros.After all, Lin Zhimo is a newcomer, and it is still a movie from China.So the transaction price is very low.

But even if it is converted into RMB, it is still 1000 million yuan.

When this movie was filmed, Lin Zhimo planned to make it a masterpiece.Therefore, Lin Zhimo used the best venues and props, and strived to be flawless. Therefore, the investment of the entire film has reached nearly 2000 million, except for the cost of publicity that is still in progress.But now half of the cost has been recovered.

"No wonder those directors always try their best to get foreign awards. It turns out that it's not for fame. It's for profit." Lin Zhimo shook his head slightly and smiled.

If you don't participate in some things, you will never know the depth of the water.

"Sister Li, it's just the two of us as companions for this film festival." After receiving Gong Li from the airport, Lin Zhimo said to Gong Li with a smirk.

Because the rest of the crew didn't have much expectation of whether the film would win an award, and Lin Zhimo didn't strictly require them to come to promote it.So only Lin Zhimo and Gong Li participated in this Berlin Film Festival.

Hearing the hidden meaning in Lin Zhimo's words, Gong Li glanced at Lin Zhimo angrily, and said, "Zhimo, let me tell you, you are not allowed to make any crooked ideas."

"How could I be wrong?" Lin Zhimo patted his chest and swore, "I have so much respect for Sister Li, how could I be wrong!"

"It's strange to believe you." Gong Li ignored Lin Zhimo's oath, and walked forward.

Gong Li was indeed right. Lin Zhimo's words were absolutely unbelievable. On the night of arriving in Berlin, Lin Zhimo knocked on Gong Li's door.

The door of the room opened slightly, and before Gong Li could speak, Lin Zhimo squeezed her into the room, and then closed the door with a bang backhand, and supported the wall with both hands, squeezing Gong Li against the wall.

"I... I said, you are not allowed to make a wrong decision." Gong Li felt the bursts of hot air exhaled from Lin Zhimo's mouth and nose, and even smelled the masculinity transmitted from Lin Zhimo. With a masculine breath, her body was a little weak, and she leaned against the wall tightly and said in a weak tone.

"Sister Li, I didn't make a mistake..." Lin Zhimo lightly squeezed Gong Li's round chin and chuckled, "I'm just trying to take advantage of Sister Li."

"You... scoundrel!" Gong Li glared at Lin Zhimo angrily, reached out and pushed Lin Zhimo violently, trying to push him away, but Lin Zhimo suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist. The mouth was roughly occupied by Lin Zhimo.

Lin Zhimo couldn't say clearly about the relationship between himself and Gong Li.Said to be lovers, the number of phone calls between the two is very rare; said to be ordinary friends, this kind of behavior between the two far beyond the boundaries of friends has occurred several times.The most recent time was during the filming of a movie. Lin Zhimo and Gong Li had a crazy cosplay. The two of them treated themselves as characters in the play and had a hearty battle.

In the face of Gong Li, a woman with ups and downs in her emotional experience, Lin Zhimo couldn't say the three words "I love you", because Lin Zhimo felt that these three words would be a kind of shackle to Gong Li.She is like an elf walking in the world, but temporarily stopped by Lin Zhimo's side for some reason. Sooner or later, perhaps because of boredom or exhaustion, she will leave Lin Zhimo's side and start again. her lonely journey.

** Afterwards, Gong Li limply in Lin Zhimo's arms and said, "Zhimo, I heard that you have climbed a high branch now?"

Lin Zhimo's hand that was wandering around on Gong Li's uneven breasts suddenly stopped, and said with a wry smile, "Sister Li, isn't this called climbing high branches, okay?"

After speaking, Lin Zhimo didn't hide anything, and told the other party about his experience during this period.

"Vice Minister of the Central Propaganda Department?!" Rao Yigong Li was also stunned by this identity. After all, she grew up in China, and the idea of ​​official status is still deeply rooted, let alone an official at the deputy ministerial level. Even a department-level official is enough to make these stars look up.

Seeing Gong Li's shocked appearance, Lin Zhimo climbed the two soft peaks with both hands again, jokingly said: "Yes, Sister Li, serve me well, or be careful and I will block you."

With a groan, Gong Li was amused by Lin Zhimo's skillful technique, but she refused to admit defeat and said: "I don't, I'm going to change my nationality soon, even if your relatives are nationalities The leaders can't control me."

"Really?" Lin Zhimo squeezed his hands lightly, and the two bulging grapes were immediately squeezed into a flat shape by Lin Zhimo.

"what!"

Gong Li's legs straightened suddenly, and she let out a pleasant moan, but at her age, she naturally knew what to say at this time to better arouse Lin Zhimo's interest, so she wrinkled her slender lips Frowning stubbornly, he said, "I won't!"

Sure enough, seeing Gong Li's "rather die than obey" appearance, Lin Zhimo knew that what Gong Li said was a lie, but there was still a strong desire to conquer in his heart.Turning over and pressing on Gong Li's delicate body, Lin Zhimo moved his hands more urgently, constantly teasing Gong Li's sensitive zone and asked: "Sister Li, if I beg for mercy now, I can Make you more comfortable."

"I...I, I don't agree." Gong Li grabbed the white sheet tightly with both hands, her body trembled from time to time under Lin Zhimo's teasing, and the black hair on her forehead was wet with sweat, but she still nibbled The lower lip said stubbornly.

"Sister Li, I'm going to be punished!" Lin Zhimo's eyes flashed, and he started to attack Gong Li again.

"You, just come...I, I'm not afraid of you!" Gong Li's voice trembled slightly.

Action accelerated.

"Sister Li, what's the matter, are you convinced?"

"No, I...resolutely refuse to accept it." Gong Li only felt that she was about to reach the peak, but suddenly felt a void below her, as if she was hanging in mid-air, unable to move up or down, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She opened her eyes slightly, and then saw Lin Zhimo looking at her with a smirk.

"Sister Li, are you still not convinced? Can I go?"

"Zhimo, big sister... convinced!"

Unable to bear the demands of her body any longer, Gong Li finally "succumbed" to Lin Zhimo's despotic power.

The next thing is naturally full of spring. (To be continued..)
