Chapter 1064: Dilemma
"International film festival?" He Guanchang was a little smacked, he didn't expect Qiao Feng to be so ambitious.
With his idea, at most, it is enough to make an award similar to the Golden Horse Awards, and select all Chinese films in the world.
I didn't think about it, so I went straight to the international film festival.
"Not only is it an international film festival, but if you want to run it, you can directly hold an A-class international film festival, which is worthy of the status of Oriental Hollywood." Qiao Feng's ambition is actually bigger than He Guanchang thought.
So far, there are 14 A-category international film festivals in the world, and two in Asia.
The international film festival is divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D, and category A is the most widely selected and the most influential.
Because the other three categories are divided into competitive specialized film festivals, non-competitive film festivals, documentary and short film festivals.
Competition-based film festivals are limited to their own special categories, which highlight specific themes, are usually smaller, shorter, and have special requirements for entries in the competition unit.
For example, the Kitzbühel Film Festival focuses on the work of young directors, the Bombay Film Festival focuses on the director's first film, the Minsk Film Festival focuses on films produced in the Baltics and Central Asia, Central Europe, Eastern Europe and Russia, the Busan Film Festival presents the debut and second films, the Stockholm Film Festival focuses on new cinematography directions, and so on.
As for class C, class D is even smaller, and it has no impact.
Category A is different, any film can apply for awards, and if it wins the award, it not only has honor but also is easy to sell films, so it is most popular with film investors and directors, actors, and staff, and it is also the most concerned by the public.
Since Qiao Feng wants to do it, he naturally wants to hold film festivals and film awards that can be widely watched around the world.
"There is the Tokyo International Film Festival, India has the Indian International Film Festival, and as a world power, we in China should also have our A-class international film festival." Qiao Feng said ambitiously.
"Be careful, be careful." He Guanchang hurriedly stopped Qiao Feng and said with a wry smile: "I haven't returned yet, and now the British are still in charge."
"That's not a matter of time." Qiao Feng said disapprerovingly, He Guanchang is not an outsider anyway, and he is not afraid of this matter getting out.
His position was originally mainland-oriented, and who in Hong Kong didn't know that the Huo family, as a red capitalist, was not living well in Hong Kong, and was one of the absolute wealthy families.
"However, after all, Hong Kong has not yet returned, and when the time comes, whether this film festival belongs to the British or to China, I think it will be held after the return." He Guanchang said with some confusion.
Qiao Feng didn't know what his sincerity was, but no matter what He Guanchang thought, Qiao Feng had to get involved in this matter.
Because I really can't wait for the return, because I haven't waited for the return, China already has its own A-class international film, the Hi International Film Festival.
But that's not what Qiao Feng wants to see.
It's not that Qiao Feng is dissatisfied with the A-class international film festival in the mainland.
But in Qiao Feng's view, Shanghi International Film Festival really has no influence since its establishment in 93 years of time and space.
This is due to the system, based on the system, Shanghi International Film Festival and other A-category international film festivals, especially the three major European film festivals, really have no competitive advantage.
What are the advantages of A-category international film festivals over other categories of film festivals?
As mentioned above, the advantage lies in the wide range of films it selects, and all categories and themes of movies can be declared for selection.
And in our country, under the extremely strict censorship system, how many films can meet the requirements of the Shanghi International Film Festival.
Not to mention, take the literary films of France, Italy and other countries that often win awards at the three major European film festivals, there are a large number of qingse shots there 90% of them, violent, indecent, all kinds of shots and ideas that challenge the nerves of our people, many foreigners can watch it, let alone Chinese people.
How could such a film be allowed to be screened at the Shanghi International Film Festival, and how could such a film win an award.
And if this most common literary film in Europe and the United States can't participate in the screening, let alone win awards, how can it attract foreign filmmakers to participate in the Shanghi International Film Festival.
How to make the awards of the Shanghi International Film Festival be taken seriously, and how to expand the influence of the film festival.
It's really been limited from the start.
However, if Hong Kong comes to this A-category film festival, this problem does not exist.
First of all, the types of films exhibited will not be restricted, and it is precisely because Hong Kong has not yet returned to the motherland, so there will not be a lot of resistance in the hearts of European and American filmmakers.
Moreover, after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, there are decades of unchanged system and decades of development, and the film festival will definitely become one of the most famous A-category film festivals.
And if there are any changes at that time, the impact will not be enough to shake the foundation of the festival.
Therefore, Qiao Feng not only wants to do this A-class international film, but also starts preparing for it as soon as possible, and gets it done before the festival.
Otherwise, it's too late.
Qiao Feng also wanted to talk to He Guanchang about running a film festival again, but He Guanchang lost interest in this matter after Qiao Feng said that he wanted to hold a Class A international film festival.
Therefore, when Qiao Feng wanted to talk, he diverted the topic.
"Mr. Qiao, I heard that the movie with Shaw Brothers this year has been decided?"
"Who did you listen to?" Qiao Feng, who was about to speak, was flashed by the change in topic, and subconsciously frowned.
"Hehe, the circle is so big, and the Shaw family is spreading it." He Guanchang looked at Qiao Feng with a smile and said, "Mr. Qiao, you see that we haven't cooperated this year."
"No matter where the rumors come from, they are all false, Miss Fang has thought about voting for my new film Thunderbolt Jiaowa, maybe the rumors are talking about this movie, but I refused." Qiao Feng said.
"Refused?" He Guanchang was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know this.
Qiao Feng explained: "Because this drama not only MGM wants to participate in the investment, but also Ah Zhen and Saiphon, they also have investment, and the funds are enough.
"Oh, what's the story? Who is the male protagonist? Is it Aaron?" He Guanchang's eyes lit up and asked.
He Guanchang is worthy of being Cheng Long's godfather, and he never forgets his baby godson.
Of course he wants to cooperate with Qiao Feng, but on this basis, it would be better if the actor could be his godson.
Qiao Feng nodded: "It tells the story of the Hong Kong police fighting local gangsters in New York, and Aaron is the best choice for the actor."
