Chapter 126: Status Doesn't Match Popularity!—3/5
Every year, major domestic film companies send people to film festivals.
Cannes and Berlin are the top choices.
The Venice trading market is not very prosperous, and the films that want to hit the Oscars during this time period are more willing to go to the Toronto Film Festival in the same schedule or even the Telluride Film Festival later.
Until embracing Hollywood and becoming a big part of the awards season - as the oldest film festival in the world, it is becoming more and more Hollywood's publicity tool!
However, Venice was originally positioned as an artistic, non-English film!
How to kneel and lick these Oscar-winning stars and movies while still escorting the author's films from other countries and languages?
Basically unlikely!
In addition to these three, the Tokyo Film Festival or the Busan Film Festival are considered second-class choices.
Why attend a film festival?
Just two things: distribution and procurement!
One purpose is to look at trends, trends in the type of film content, to promote international collaboration, such as co-productions, overseas distribution, and so on;
There are also some buyout filmmakers who are active in the mainland market, who buy the mainland rights of imported films through film festivals and distribute them in China...
That's what they're going to the festival for!
However, in recent years, the relationship between China and Japan has been tense, and no one goes to the Tokyo Film Festival, and it is useless to buy the copyright, so you will not be released at all!
Busan Film Festival Picks Up Cheap - Politics Affects Economy...
Moreover, the self-positioning of the Busan Film Festival in South Korea is to serve the film production of the entire Asian region, and the positioning is very accurate, using the Korean market itself, which has become bigger and bigger in recent years, and many well-known Asian directors will bring their own films...
Unlike the Shanghai Film Festival, it has been an international positioning from the beginning.
The positioning is international, but the international director is not invited...
It's embarrassing!
It's the same with the North Film Festival...
Later, the Beijing Film Festival made a whole slogan: Asian community with a shared future.
Isn't that ridiculous?
A community with a shared future for mankind has regressed to Asia...
According to Wang Hailin's words: It may feel a little difficult to radiate the whole world, so start with Asia...
In fact, the purpose of the film festival is similar, they are all committed to the cultural promotion and industrial promotion of local films.
Build a lineage, use venture capital and other methods to cultivate your own creators. Help outstanding talents create, shoot, and then return to the festival with their works.
Build your own movie empire for the camp step by step.
That's how Cannes came about!
The premiere of Shen Mengxi's "The Great Wall" is definitely in Cannes, so there is no need to think about it.
People are such a big film festival and treat you as a descendant, and the first play gave you the Grand Jury Award, and you twisted your face and left?
Like words?
Why can't China hold a film festival?
Referring to the CBA, Yao Ming asked the leaders of the Basketball Association: "Should our league be dominated by the market or driven by administrative power?"
There is no distinction between style and style, so, you know.
......
This trip to South Korea was a two-day trip, with tight time and heavy tasks, so I didn't have the opportunity to appreciate the hospitality characteristics of South Korea.
I rested for one night, and the next day I met a few people from SHOWBOX and chatted about the co-production plan...
The success of the two films "Twenty Years Old Again" and "Big Man" is very satisfying for both parties.
Next...
Of course, we will continue to cooperate!
Shen Mengxi is also very satisfied with SHOWBOX, unlike CJ, there are not so many beeps...
Probably because Haoliyou sells egg yolk pie and the film business, they don't care very much...
Well, SHOWBOX is a subsidiary of the Holiyou Group, and its positioning from the beginning is to invest and distribute movies.
Mengxi Company cooperates with them, and they have money to earn together, of course, they are happy!
......
"I know Moon Gen-young, the same age as me..."
"When I was acting, I did deliberately avoid her way of acting, because our roles were different..."
This is talking about the difference between the two versions of "Twenty Years Old Again" in China and South Korea...
"Of course it's a pleasure to come to Busan... Let Korean movie fans enjoy two different ways of interpretation. ”
"Introduction to Architecture... Seo Hyun, I only know that she is a member of Girls' Generation... For specific performances, we may have to wait for the movie to be released!"
The Korean version of "Introduction to Architecture" found Seo Hyun to play the young heroine...
Liu Yifei was interviewed on the red carpet, mostly in Chinese media, mixed with some Korean media...
At the Busan Film Festival, the most concerned is the red carpet.
The film festival is also willing to increase attention in this way, not to mention that the essence of the film festival is a film, and without sponsorship, everything is not to be discussed.
Shen Mengxi appeared with Liu Yifei, and naturally, there were many media interviews with him:
"Korean culture is very similar to Chinese culture, both belong to East Asian culture, which is the basis of co-production, and we can only choose a limited type of co-production with the United States..."
"For example, in "Giant Crocodile Storm", it is impossible for a Chinese-Korean co-production to have a crocodile, right?
"Of course, I can't make epic films like "Red Sorghum" and "Hero", and there are cultural differences in this genre! But cultural differences are not very different from young people, and young things are common to all countries. So the future trend should be more action movies, romance movies, and youth movies..."
While he was talking, all the media were quiet ...
Status here!
Not to mention any new benchmark for Sino-Korean co-production, and not to say that Shen Mengxi has already made a lot of fame in South Korea, just one point, Shen Mengxi may be the richest person to participate in the Busan Film Festival.
Worth more than two billion dollars.
He is also secretly a little proud, his brother's reputation has spread to South Korea!
Korean entertainment started in 2012...
Then terminated in 2016 ...
Well, I found a business opportunity: he can act as a top intermediary to introduce popular Korean idols to local tyrants in the mainland, and take a cut... Let's take 20%.
Accurate?
Much more than they make in Korea!
Four years is enough to make hundreds of millions...
Ahem...
At this time, Kim Donghu, chairman of the film festival, and Ahn Sung-ki, vice chairman appeared, Ahn Sung-ki, before the appearance of the troika of Chungmuro, the biggest card in the Korean film industry was regarded as a big predecessor in the circle.
After that, Lee Byung-hun, Choi Si-won, Moon Geun-young and others...
The appearance of these actors was immediately met with great cheers.
After that, the audience next to him seemed to go crazy:
"Ah~Oba!Oba!"
"So Ji-sub!So Ji-sub~"
Turning his head to take a look, it was Su Ji-sub, a Korean male god...
So Ji-sub, Hyun Bin, Kang Dong-won, and Kong Yoo are known as the four major public properties rated by many Korean fans.
Shen Mengxi glanced at it from a distance, it was not bad, he barely had a little charm!
It's not over yet, Park Youtian, Yoo Ah-in, and Park Jae-bum have appeared...
The onlookers seemed to be crazy, and the number of decibels rose sharply.
"Ah~"
"Oba, Oba!"
"I love you!"
"I love you!"
Who do you love when you step on a horse?
It's outrageous!
Shen Mengxi and Liu Yifei signed and walked quickly through the interview area...
This broken red carpet is not interesting at all!
