"Have you thought it through......" Luo Fan was a little surprised.

"Hmm. Chen Mubai replied.

"If you go to the film festival to compete, all the publicity you have invested in the early stage will be in vain. Luo Fan said: "When it is re-released later, it will cost you again." ”

"Buried Alive" was released on the 26th, and it must have cost some money before the completion of the movie and the preparation for the announcement, if the schedule is changed now, then the money invested in it will be wasted.

It is impossible that the publicity before the release of the movie in a few months will still have an effect, which is definitely useless, and you need to spend money again.

And the effect is not necessarily good, after all, it has been announced once before.

"It's okay, you can see the excellent works of various countries, or maybe you can get some inspiration. Luo Fan heard the resoluteness of Chen Mubai's tone, and no longer dissuaded.

"Your work has not yet been released, and it meets the requirements of the competition, so you have to submit your work in advance, so don't miss the time. Luo Fan admonished.

"I've also been to film festivals, so it's a bit of a deal, so if you need it, try to tell me. ”

Luo Fan's distribution in overseas markets is indispensable to deal with film festivals, which does have some relationship, such as speeding up the review, which is still no problem.

The works participating in the A-class film festival must be films that have not been released and premiered at the film festival, otherwise they will not be eligible to participate, and "Buried Alive" just meets the requirements.

Luo Fan knew that this incident still had a great impact on Chen Mubai, and it was good to go to the film festival to relax and gain knowledge.

Even if you return empty-handed and release it in a few months, maybe things will take a turn for the better.

"I see, thank you, Mr. Luo. Chen Mubai thanked him.

The call was not in vain, and he got another solution.

Chen Mubai and Luo Fan thought differently, he was still quite confident.

Not to mention winning the grand prize, even if it is a small award, even if it is a nomination.

The movie "Buried Alive" has shortcomings, but there are also many advantages, and it is still the kind of flaw!

This movie is a bit of a curiosity, but the rhythm and reversals are very strong, and maybe it will be favored!

No matter how bad it is, it's okay to get a good reputation!

At least when the time comes to return to China for release, it will also gain some fame, and if it is praised abroad, the impact in China will not be low.

If a film can be praised at the film festival, is the quality still questionable?

At that time, these doubts will no longer exist, and even if the film schedule remains unchanged, there may be many viewers who come specifically for the movie!

No matter how bad it is, there is nothing, maybe there is a different time period, there are not so many new movies, unlike the intensive summer files, maybe the schedule of "Buried Alive" can get more!

It's okay even if the Big Six are still targeted, some medium-sized colleges and universities have given up targeting, change the schedule, if there are not so many strong competitors, maybe everyone will choose "Buried Alive"......

In either case, it's better than being released at this time, and no matter how bad it is, it's the same result.

At least, go fight now, maybe there will be unexpected surprises and gains!

After Chen Mubai made up his mind, he returned to the conference room.

When he pushed the door open, everyone's eyes fell on him, wanting to hear the advice he had just received.

Everyone found that Chen Mubai's face had a rare relaxed and comfortable look, although he didn't say anything before, but there was still a heavy look in his eyes, but he didn't show it.

In other words, his attitude is far less heavy than his heart.

Now that he's the way he looks, has he found a solution?

Lu Fang opened his mouth first and asked, "What did Mr. Luo say?"

"Is there a solution?"

Chen Mubai nodded and said with a smile: "There is." ”

Then he walked briskly to his seat and began to explain.

From the moment he said that there was a solution, everyone was shocked, and their faces were full of surprise, there is really a way to solve this matter!?

Everyone's expectant eyes were all focused on Chen Mubai's body, waiting for him to say the solution.

Chen Mubai didn't sell too much, and said directly: "We can go to the film festival!"

"If the film can gain something at the film festival, it will definitely increase its impact, and at that time, the six national congresses will not be able to target us!"

This is inevitable, if the work wins the award, the six major congresses dare to target Chen Mubai and not schedule the film, this is against the country's policy, not looking for death?

In vigorously developing the cultural industry, the state is to tap outstanding talents and fine works.

An award-winning work is targeted by the theater and is not scheduled, isn't this a slap in the face of the country?

If the Sixth National Congress dares to do this, they will definitely be punished by the state!

"But it's not that easy to win...... Chen Yunteng hesitated quietly.

At this juncture, he said this kind of frustrating remark, which really hit everyone's confidence, but what Chen Mubai said is indeed a bit difficult to do, and it is really difficult to win awards at the film festival.

Of course, this refers to authoritative film festivals, not pheasant film festivals, which can win awards with money and resources, and are not worth much.

What Chen Mubai said must be to participate in authoritative film festivals, and this depends on the ability to live ammunition.

Chen Yunteng's words really made everyone sober up a little, and although the result was beautiful, it was very difficult.

"Yes......" Li Feng agreed.

With the support of others, this made Chen Yunteng's heart feel a little better, he did not deliberately undermine everyone's confidence, but hoped to get a perfect plan as much as possible.

"It really doesn't matter if you win an award or not, what matters is the quality of the movie. Chen Mubai knew that his words were indeed a bit like painting a big cake, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"In our movie, the reasons given by the theater are not good, netizens are not optimistic, in the final analysis, I think that I can't make any good works as a newcomer, which is also because of the speculation based on past experience, so the reasons given by the theater are accepted by netizens. ”

"I went to the film festival to screen the movie, after the film is watched, the rating and word-of-mouth about the movie will come out, I am very confident in the quality, so if the word-of-mouth and quality are good, even if I don't win the award, when the time comes to return to China to release it, the theater chain can't use this reason to lower the film schedule. ”

"Taking a step back, even if they still do it, we can promote the quality of the film ourselves, and with the promotion at the festival, we can still get a lot of support from the audience!"

This principle is working, and everyone is also thinking about Chen Mubai's words.

It's just that the premise of all this is that the quality of the movie must be good, otherwise everything is in vain.

Everyone didn't have a choice, and they also believed in Chen Mubai's ability, so there was not much negation of his words.

"I think what Mu Bai said makes sense, instead of being so restricted, it's better to give it a go, maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

In silence, Lu Fang was the first to stand up in favor of Chen Mubai's decision.

What Chen Mubai said was not unreasonable, although it was a little difficult, but he himself had self-confidence, and they naturally chose to believe him.

"Mr. Chen, which film festival do you want to attend?" Ji Yuxuan asked.

There are many types of film festivals, even the A-category film festival has 15, and the conditions for participation are also different.

Among them, the three major film festivals in Europe have the highest gold content, and they are also the most famous awards in the world, both in terms of scale and gold content.

Compared with the Oscars in the United States, the three major European film festivals have higher artistic gold content and are more popular with film lovers around the world.

Because the Oscar films are somewhat regional, they are all mainly in English, and the three major European film festivals do not value this.

Therefore, the works that have won awards at the three major European film festivals are basically from all over the world, and the Oscars are more American films.

"Venice Film Festival. Chen Mubai replied.

"The Venice Film Festival, one of the three largest film festivals in Europe?"

"Come up and play so big?"

Everyone was stunned by Chen Mubai's words, but they didn't expect him to come up and aim at the most difficult film festival!

They thought that Chen Mubai would participate in domestic film festivals, so that the film could be regarded as being broadcast, and the domestic culture would be better understood by the Chinese people, and the word of mouth would be easier to ferment.

Chen Mubai is a Chinese, and the movies he makes may not be understood by foreigners!

The most important thing in a movie is expression, and each shot has a meaning of expression, but because of different cultures, there will be differences in understanding, and foreigners really don't necessarily understand Chinese culture!

"Big Brother Bai, isn't this a little too high......" Qian Duoduo said with some hesitation.

He also feels that this is a bit too much, and the beginning is hellish difficulty, which is a bit of a sadistic feeling!

Why don't you go around the domestic film festivals......

"If you want to play, you have to play big, otherwise the New Year's film festival will take too long. Chen Mubai shook his head and said: "Even if we release it first and then participate in the selection, but the time has passed too long, and the box office of the movie has already come out, it's too late." ”

Domestic film festivals include films shot in the past year as selection.

There are three well-known film festivals in China, namely the Golden Rooster Award (Mainland), the Golden Image Award (Xiangjiang), and the Golden Horse Award (Taidao).

The popularity and gold content of the three awards are the highest in China, among which the Golden Rooster Award is held in August, the Golden Image Award is in April, and the Golden Horse Award is in November.

For example, this year is 2021, and the film selection can only be films shot during the period from 2020 to 2021, because the film festival is generally held in the middle of the year or at the end of the year, so some films that are screened at the beginning of the year can also be shortlisted for selection.

As long as the time comes, if the time is too late, it will be distributed to the next year's film festival selection.

No matter which one it is, it has nothing to do with "Buried Alive", if it is released first, the box office will be cold, and there is no point in running again, at least Chen Mubai doesn't want this result, he still wants to fight hard.

"Buried Alive" has not yet been released, and it is fully in line with the regulations for participating in international A-category film festivals, especially the three major European film festivals.

It has not participated in any film festivals, has not been screened outside of its home country, and is a premiere at a film festival.

"You can participate in other film festivals, the three major European film festivals are too difficult, after all, they are the highest palace of film. Chen Yunteng said: "We can lower it and choose the Magic City Film Festival or the Tokyo Film Festival, these two are also A-class film festivals, and their popularity is not bad." ”

"The most important two film festivals are Asian, culturally closer, and the probability of winning awards is higher than that of participating in the Venice Film Festival. ”

Chen Yunteng's words are well-founded and convincing.
