Chapter 35: Jiang Wen

"Participating in the film festival?" Xie Fei frowned.

"Yes, after all, I don't have a reputation, and I don't have a big-name star, and the gold medal production helps, so it feels dangerous to want people to release it, but if the film can win awards, I should have some capital to negotiate. Chen Hao said.

"That's right. Xie Fei nodded, "It seems that you are really confident in your movie!"

"Actually, I don't have much ambition for this movie, as long as I can make some fame and raise money for my next film. Chen Hao said.

Now the biggest thing that restricts Chen Hao is fame and capital, with these two, Chen Hao feels that he can soar all over the world.

"Thinking about the next movie so soon?" Xie Fei said unexpectedly.

"I've got some ideas. Chen Hao smiled and nodded.

"Then how much do you expect to invest in your next movie?" Xie Fei said curiously.

"At least a few million!" Chen Hao said casually.

"Millions!" Xie Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "This is still no ambition?" ha......

After laughing for a while, Xie Fei thought for a while and said, "If you are confident, how about I recommend you to the Berlin International Film Festival?"

Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then he was a little excited, after all, the three major European ones are very attractive to domestic directors.

Compared with the Golden Globe and Oscars in the United States, the Chinese directors also have a good record in the three major European ones.

For example, Xie Fei, he won the Golden Bear Award and the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival, and this year he was a judge.

It's just that the Berlin Film Festival will only start in February next year, which is a bit too long, and the Berlin International Film Festival probably won't like "Comet".

"Teacher, I want to be able to participate in the film festival as soon as possible, which will also be conducive to the distribution of the film. Chen Hao said.

"Is it so urgent?" Xie Fei frowned.

It seems that Chen Hao still has great expectations for the release of the film, and he may have many ideas in his mind and is in a hurry to shoot it.

"The nearest film festival should be the Golden Horse Award in Treasure Island. Xie Fei said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, this year's Golden Horse Awards will be held in December, and it is still too late to register, but eggs cannot be placed in a cage, Chen Hao means casting a wide net.

"Teacher, do you know if there is a film festival that will be held recently, that is, within the year?" asked Chen Hao.

The three major in Europe, the three gold medals in China, the Golden Globe Saturn Oscar in the United States, as well as the Shanghai International Film Festival and the Imperial Capital University Student Film Festival, these film festivals have passed.

Chen Hao can't afford to wait, it's just that there are no film festival awards, and the film release is estimated to be a little hanging, and Chen Hao has nothing to do during this time.

If he wants to shoot commercials, MVs or photos now, he really thinks it's too low, and it's more interesting to make movies and engage in unspoken rules.

"The three major European film festivals have passed, and I think about it, the Tokyo International Film Festival has also passed, by the way, there seems to be a Busan International Film Festival. Xie Fei thought for a while and said.

"South Korea's film festival?" Chen Hao said.

"Yes, that's all I know, there are still a lot of film festivals in Europe, but I'm not familiar with them. Xie Fei said.

Chen Hao nodded, the most famous European film festival in China is the three major film festivals, and now it is the beginning of the century, although the Internet has become a hot field.

But it is far less all-encompassing than later generations, fast and convenient, and you can know the relevant information with a casual search.

"Okay, then I'll try!" Chen Hao nodded.

"You better run the release first, I'll contact Jiang Wen now, and then you will contact him, as for the film festival, I'll help you ask." Xie Fei said.

"Then thank you, teacher. Chen Hao said gratefully.

"Needless to say, kind words. Xie Fei said.

Then Xie Fei called Jiang Wen, and after receiving a positive answer, he gave Chen Hao the phone number.

After Chen Hao dialed the number, he still had some small expectations in his heart, as one of the few directors in China, Chen Hao and Jiang Wen did not have much intersection in his previous life, of course, he must have been thunderous.

"Hello Director Jiang, I'm Chen Hao. Chen Hao said.

"I know, Xie Lao told me. Jiang Wen's subwoofer came, "Is your kid's film good?" If it doesn't work, forget it, save me shame!"

Chen Hao shook his head helplessly when he heard this, he was really direct and domineering enough, "The teacher said that I would arrange for my movie to premiere in the Imperial Film, if you have time, why don't you come and guide it?"

Jiang Wen thought for a while and said, "I'm filming now and I can't leave, no, I'd better take a look, so as not to embarrass me." ”

Chen Hao thought about it when he heard this, Jiang Wen should be filming "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" at this time!

This is a costume action blockbuster co-financed and co-produced by Columbia Pictures (Asia) Co., Ltd., Huayi and Chang'an Films.

Speaking of Colombia, it is one of the first eight Hollywood film companies to enter the mainland, and set up a representative office in the imperial capital as early as 1995.

has invested in and released many Chinese films, including "My Father and Mother" by the National Teacher, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by Li Press, "Big Shot" by Feng Dacang, etc., and in the future, there will be "Kung Fu" and "Yangtze River No. 7" by Xing Ye.

The cooperating directors are all Chinese-speaking directors, and Columbia is also actively engaged in the distribution and promotion of Chinese-language films.

I don't know if I can get in touch with Colombia and release my film to the United States.

But it's too early now, you have to wait until you become famous, otherwise people won't look down on you at all.

Having said that, Jiang Wen's filming also has some meaning of last resort.

Because between 98 and 99 years, Jiang Wen directed and acted in "The Devil is Coming".

In May 2000, "The Devil is Coming" participated in the Cannes International Film Festival without passing the censorship, and won the Grand Jury Prize for this film.

But back in China, due to "illegal participation", Jiang Wen received an administrative punishment of "not being able to serve as a director for five years".

Therefore, now Jiang Wen can only be an actor honestly.

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as the teacher arranges the premiere time. Chen Hao replied.

"Okay, I'll wait for your call. Jiang Wen hung up the phone after speaking.

Chen Hao hung up the phone and directly found the teacher Xie Fei, Jiang Wen was afraid that Chen Hao would shoot a bad movie, and he would recommend it to others, but people would mumble in their hearts if they didn't say it.

And if Chen Hao wants to better get the support of Huaying or Huayi, he has to use Jiang Wen to match, otherwise he should not have much hope of finding the door by himself.

Now, the first thing Chen Hao has to do is to use the movie to convince Jiang Wen and satisfy him.

"How is it?" Xie Fei asked when he saw Chen Hao.

"Director Jiang said that the goods should be inspected a priori!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

Xie Fei nodded when he heard this, "It's okay, then I'll arrange it as soon as possible, I hope you can conquer him." ”

"Trouble the teacher. Chen Hao nodded.

Soon, Xie Fei made two phone calls and told Chen Hao that two days later, "Comet" would premiere in Diying!
