The reason why Dongbao Company and Lin Junxiu have a happy cooperation is that the people at Dongbao Company understand Lin Junxiu's character very well. They know that this boy looks gentle and docile, but in fact he is very stubborn at heart. But the thoughts of Dongbao Company's senior management are very different.

Simple, no matter how bad your personality is, as long as you can help the company make money. Therefore, Dongbao’s senior management gave only one order to Dongbao’s personnel who contacted Lin Junxiu, and they were to completely obey Lin Junxiu’s decision; even if they had opinions, they could only

It is given in the form of suggestions, and if Lin Junxiu doesn't accept it, forget it. It is precisely because of Dongbao's relatively "cowardly" cooperative attitude that they have become the main distribution company for show production, relying on Lin Junxiu's two

The movie has already made a lot of money.

This time Toho is also here to win awards. If it can win the Golden Lion Award or the Jury Grand Prize and the Special Award, then Toho’s representatives can also go on stage to receive awards. Being on stage like this is enough for Toho

The company has been bragging about it for several years. And now Toho is also speculating whether Lin Junxiu's "Midnight Flight" can win the award. If it can win the award, then the copyright buyout fee will definitely increase, and Toho will also be able to take a larger commission.

Therefore, Dongbao Company also listened to Lin Junxiu's opinions and contacted other film companies but did not sign anything.

The Venice Film Festival usually lasts for two weeks. After all, in addition to the main competition unit, the Venice Film Festival also has the "Horizon Unit". Compared with the main competition unit and commercial compromise, the Horizon Unit is completely experimental and avant-garde films.

World. Although the Horizon Unit does not participate in the selection of awards such as the Golden Lion Award, they also have the Feature Film Award, the Feature Documentary Award, the Medium Film Award and the Short Film Award. In addition to the two official units, the rest are cooperation units and screenings.

Link. The main sponsor of the Venice Film Festival is the luxury watch brand Jaeger-LeCoultre, so Jaeger-LeCoultre also has an Honorary Filmmaker Award, which is somewhat equivalent to the Venice Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award.

At the same time, there are also some small film festivals held on the periphery of the film festival to ride on the popularity of the Venice Film Festival. Most of the films exhibited here are experimental works, and many of them are not considered movies. But here too

There are many producers hanging around. After all, wouldn’t it be a huge profit if they hired a talented new director? Unfortunately, Lin Junxiu can only watch it on the periphery. Most movies refuse to enter because of the classification relationship.

Although there are no classification restrictions for that kind of tent screening, it would be embarrassing if it was photographed by reporters.

As for bars and the like, Asians tend to look younger. Many Asians who are busy in Europe and the United States have to show their ID cards when entering bars. Lin Junxiu's face is as tender as a primary school student. Don't even think about going near the bar. No matter how immeasurable the guy is,

It's not like teasing a primary school student to drink.

After wandering around the Venice Film Festival for two days, Lin Junxiu suddenly felt that he should not waste such a beautiful scene, and Venice has always been the background of many romantic love stories, so Lin Junxiu decided to shoot the PV of his winter single "Another Days" here.

.Although the single was released in winter, the lyrics of the song are more like the feeling of a midsummer night. Regarding Lin Junxiu's willful release idea, Sony Music also chose to acquiesce even if persuasion failed.

"Another Days" is the fifth single of w-inds. However, w-inds. has just formed at this time, so we are not worried about bumping into the original singer. "Another Days" is a song that describes the ignorance of young people.

A love song is actually very suitable for filming into a PV with a storyline. Unfortunately, w-inds.’s record company at the time didn’t have much courage and was probably limited by the budget, so the PV for this single was filmed.

The usual style of w-inds. is three boys singing and dancing in front of the camera.

Since the background is all based on cutout technology, there is no budget for this PV except for the cost of a few sets of clothes. And judging from how popular w-inds. was at that time, it is estimated that these sets of clothes are also free from sponsors.

What is provided is not certain. From this calculation, we can only say that the capital strength of the company behind w-inds. is too weak, otherwise w-inds. would not be so popular that it would be suppressed by Johnny & Associates all at once.

It can't even be featured on national TV shows.

There is a big difference between the concept of music video production in the European and American music circles and the concept of music video in Eastern countries. The production of music videos in China, Japan and South Korea is largely to promote songs and at the same time make money in the KTV market. Therefore, Lin Junxiu

I feel that this kind of Music Video is really better called the Japanese Promotion Video, which is more in line with the purpose of using this kind of Video.

Music Video in the European and American music circles aims to present the meaning of the song itself, with a certain concept of film and television production. No wonder some film and television awards are willing to include Music Video in the selection category. Even when it comes to Rebek's divine song MV "Friday"

”, you can criticize the plot as superficial, naive, etc., but it is undeniable that the entire MV still tells the story completely, so it can be regarded as a passing Music Video.

Lin Junxiu plans to shoot the MV of this single in the form of a short film this time. Director Schroeder can shoot a sentimental love story in 30 minutes, but Lin Junxiu uses about 10 minutes to shoot a male video.

The protagonist's memories and thoughts about love after the relationship ends. This is not a sad love story. Although the first love in youth will not have a happy ending in the end, it is a sweet and sour taste for everyone.

.There is no need to make it a tragedy, so it should be positioned as a comedy. Moreover, the lyrics also hint that one day in the future, "we" will meet again.

Since Venice is the host of a film festival, there must be a lot of local film institutions, so relevant equipment was quickly rented and a team was assembled. Originally, the team members looked down on a little Asian boy as the director, but after

After learning that Lin Junxiu is already the director of three feature films and is also the director and screenwriter of the film shortlisted for the main competition of this Venice Film Festival, the whole team immediately became honest. This is usually the case in the professional field, age and experience may be important.

, but with seniority and strength, those important things become less important.

Originally, the team planned to steal from Lin Junxiu, but when they finally learned that Lin Junxiu only planned to shoot a Music Video, everyone was a little frustrated. There is also a talent gap between directors. Generally speaking, commercials and

Music Video directors are considered to be at the bottom of the director circle. Even directors who have been in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles are qualified to laugh at these two types of directors. However, Lin Junxiu does not feel that there is any discount. Anyway, this is a film for himself, not for others.

If others film it and publicize it, it will be a good story.

As a "magician who likes to play with lens tones," Lin Junxiu also used a large number of filters when shooting Music Video. As mentioned earlier, this shooting method is very "deviant" in the eyes of traditional European photographers, so he and

The local photographer Lin Junxiu worked with raised his objections several times. But Lin Junxiu always used the reason that you are hired and you should do things well after you get paid.

The photographer also knew that he had no status and was short of money, so he gave in with a shrug. However, deep down in his heart, he had decided that he would never tell this matter, lest it become a stain on his resume.

In this way, under the distrust of the photographer, the team shot for three consecutive days and finally finished shooting the materials Lin Junxiu needed. During the remaining time, Lin Junxiu borrowed an editing room and began busy editing work there.

When I heard that Lin Junsu had shot the PV for his single during the Venice Film Festival, Sony Music immediately sent someone to pick up the work. Sony Music had already thought about it, and the so-called winter single could be released in the autumn. Anyway, Lin Junsu's

There is no obvious seasonal word like "snowflake" in the winter single, so it is suitable in any season. Moreover, both songs in Lin Junxiu's single have a touch of sadness in them, which is not just right.

Does it fit in with the "sad autumn" atmosphere?

"Is this a PV for a single?" Rao, a well-informed marketing director of Sony Music, was shocked after watching the 10-minute short film shot by Lin Junxiu.

In his understanding, doesn't the PV just involve the lead singer dancing with handsome men and beauties? As a result, Lin Junxiu actually made a love movie for the song. Although it was a bit short, the storyline and pictures were very beautiful! However,

Now he is a little entangled again. The PV that the record company sends to the TV station must be paid by the second, just like the advertisement. How much publicity will it cost for a 10-minute PV?

"It looks great, but it's too long!"

"TV Tokyo and TBS can embed it into the programs in charge of the show production in the form of special episodes." Lin Junxiu said, "For other TV stations, I will edit a version that meets the standards for you."

Although Lin Junxiu is not willing to use scissors on his own works, the existence value of PV is to sell records. Therefore, the length of 15 seconds and 30 seconds is the most suitable. Therefore, Lin Junxiu has already begun to think about how to get the most out of the film.

Cut out the most beautiful pictures to fill up the duration.

After struggling for a day, Lin Junxiu edited six 15-second versions and two 30-second versions of the PV, and even the subtitles were ready. Anyway, Lin Junxiu has seen a lot of Japanese advertisements in later generations and knows the Japanese advertising fonts.

How does it work? To put it simply, it has a chubby vibe. To put it bluntly, as long as they see the iconic font, most Chinese people can tell whether this is a Japanese advertisement. As for Sony Music’s proposal

Lin Junxiu also agreed to the suggestion of releasing the single in October. The promotion of the single in winter is really hard. It has to be posted during the winter and spring holidays, which is not cost-effective.

After receiving the finished product, the marketing director of Sony Music flew out of Venice overnight. As expected of a senior executive of a large company, flying is as convenient as making a car. Lin Junxiu complained silently in his heart. After this episode passed,

The Venice Film Festival is gradually coming to an end. With the end of the exhibition, most of the film crews have begun to leave Venice.

After all, during the film festival, the cost of food and accommodation in Venice is not so friendly. That is to say, the crew of "Midnight Flight" took advantage of Toho, a wealthy company, to relax and feel like they were on vacation. You must know that most of the crew stayed at Samsung

In hotels below grade 1, even some small film crews simply chose to camp in tents. Since the film has not been sold and has no chance to win awards, there is no point in staying in Venice, so everyone packed up and prepared to go to the next film festival and try

See if you can have good luck there.

Lin Junxiu received a call from the organizing committee, hoping that his crew would not leave early and reminding them to attend the final awards ceremony. This is actually a very strong hint, indicating that "Midnight Flight" has a high chance of success.

Awards. Although the three categories of acting award, director award and film award will not be concentrated in one movie, the photography award and screenplay award can be superimposed with the acting award, director award or film award. In addition to the newcomer award,
