Chapter 53: Tall
"Don't say anything else. If we make it well, then according to the time, it will be just in time for the major film festivals that will gather in the summer. ”
"I don't mean domestic, we all know the situation in China. ”
"I'm talking about film festivals abroad. I believe that at more inclusive foreign film festivals, Director Cheng's works will definitely be favored by more film critics. ”
"My plan is like this, in terms of external promotion and distribution, Director Cheng will contact experts in the circle to carry it out. ”
"And abroad, I will hire foreign professional film and television public relations to promote, heat, and strive to achieve the best results in several major film festivals. At least one or two prizes are required. ”
"After we get the award, we will immediately heat up public opinion in China. ”
"Let the domestic public and the media pay attention to it and become interested in it, we can edit the domestic version of this film and publicize and promote it through the publicity and distribution company. ”
"Some unpopular stalls in cinema chains, as well as late-night stalls, will be at the forefront of our testing of the waters. ”
"Let's find some niche art film trolls and heat it up. ”
"Then those literary and artistic youths, decadent and angry youths, film critics with nostalgia, and audiences who still have feelings for that era, will go into the cinema and buy a ticket to see our film. ”
And at that time, it was the real test of this film. ”
"I believe that with Director Cheng's directing level and the content of this movie, it will definitely resonate with a small number of people. ”
"At that time, as long as the word-of-mouth of the film reaches a certain level, it will drive the things that we art filmmakers crave the most...... The box office and traffic are up. ”
"Only at that time can we realize the dream of our niche filmmakers. ”
"Let more people love it, prompt more people to watch it, more people to understand this kind of sub-category movie, and let people in the circle ...... Really focus on the achievements and future of our art films. ”
"Let them know, ah, it turns out that making art films and small-budget films can also make money. ”
"So as to form a virtuous circle, which can attract more capital investment for those of us who are excellent directors who are committed to the development of art films. ”
"You say, is that the truth, is this our ultimate goal?"
What he said made a large circle of people stunned.
I don't know who reacted first, and I dropped the cigarette in my hand on the ground with a bang.
"Damn, what you said is too good, this scene is beautiful and it doesn't look like the world!"
"I said, you're only in your early twenties, aren't you?
"Did you really do research when you invested in this movie? Aren't you a rich second generation who just wants to be a protagonist and play and go out to brag about B!?"
I've wronged me!
The corners of Mai Fan's mouth twitched twice.
Does he dare to tell this group of people the real reason for his investment?
Can he say this "Spring Romance" directed by Cheng Feng...... Will it be five years from now?
At that time, director Cheng Feng had already directed two commercial blockbusters, which created a very high box office, and he had a firm foothold in the director circle, and then filmed "Spring Blossom".
At that time, "Spring Blossom", as Mai Fan envisioned, was also sent abroad to participate in major film festivals.
It's a pity that five years later, at the film festival, there are too many excellent foreign works exhibited.
Thus making ...... In previous years, "Spring Day", which could win at least one or two foreign outstanding film awards, came to the end...... I missed out on the major awards.
Director Cheng Feng at that time said regretfully in an interview: "This film was born at the wrong time, if I could have been a few years earlier...... That is, I was able to shoot it when I was most short of money. ”
"Not to mention the film "Spring Day" can win the grand slam of the four major film festivals, at least two of the four major film festivals. ”
"And now...... Life is like this, it's always full of unknowns......"
Director Cheng's words are not bragging, and this film has also been fully reflected in the subsequent test of the commercial value of the film.
On the first day of the release of "Spring Day", because of the film's audience and the limitations of classification, it only got a few theaters, less than 1,000 screens, and a film scheduling rate of less than 5%.
On the first day of release, apart from the professional film critics who were invited, the film did not have much publicity to the outside world.
But even so, the box office of "Spring Day" showed an upward trend on the same day.
In the end, the movie that director Cheng Feng paid out of his own pocket and only spent 5 million yuan to shoot with an investment of 40 million + achieved a super high box office of 40 million+.
broke the box office record of this genre in one fell swoop and became a legend and milestone among niche films.
Because special cases are always easy to remember, when Mai Fan conceived the plan, he immediately thought of Director Cheng Feng of this period.
Mai Fan also knows that certain historical events will have different results depending on the executor.
But according to his understanding of Director Cheng Feng's guidance level, the actor of this movie, even if he is filmed by another person, will definitely be a hit.
It was precisely because Mai Fan knew these things that he was able to find Director Cheng Feng.
But the circle of people squatting across from him, including Director Cheng Feng, didn't know how cunning Mai Fan was.
At this time, they were very moved, and they had less use of Mai Fan, and more emotions like confidants.
This is too beneficial to Maifan's future development.
......
After everyone finished talking about business, and after the scene affairs removed the case of starting the incense, the whole crew set up the machine in the first scene.
The assistant director of the film, who is also Cheng Feng's buddy, came over and pointed out while watching Mai Fan put on makeup.
"Have you memorized all the scripts? Have you done a short biography? After you have a meeting in the venue, you must listen to the director's instructions. ”
"I heard that you are a graduate of this Jingbei Film Academy, and you are from a professional class. Don't embarrass Cobain. ”
"But the problem is back, let's not all say that Nortel produces stars and CCTV actors produce actors. ”
"Why don't you dream of being a big star? Why did you break into our art film circle?"
Mai Fan raised his face and was given makeup by the makeup artist, but his hand couldn't help touching his chin, and he smiled bitterly: "Just my face." ”
"Do you think it fits the aesthetic of a little girl today?"
