As the night gets darker, the number of people on the road does not decrease at all, North America is the largest film market in the world, and there are many avid movie fans who have different hobbies, and it is also fun for many people to watch interesting small productions at film festivals.

And except for the film festival, most of the films at the roadshow will not be seen at all in the future.

Not to mention entering the theater, the chances of becoming a videotape or disc are very small.

Then there are the buyers of film companies, and every year the Saint-Denis Film Festival produces several small productions with good market returns.

"It seems to be the one from the Artison Company. ”

A movie was being shown at the roadshow in front of him, and Tony pointed to one of the dozen or so audience members and said, "The one we've seen in the hotel lobby, what's Billy's name?" ”

Ronan also saw it, looked up at the shaky picture on the small screen, and said to Tony, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

The two of them arrive at the place directly facing the screen, and Billy also sees Ronan and smiles at him, and Ronan smiles back.

The two sides were not familiar with each other, and they did not speak.

"What a film. ”

A viewer on Ronan's left hand side complained, "I'm dizzy from shaking." ”

He beckoned to his female companion: "Gone, gone." ”

The female companion also shook her head: "The picture quality is terrible." ”

The two turned around and left, without the slightest nostalgia.

Ronan didn't care about this, holding his chest with one hand and pinching his chin with the other, looking at the terrible picture on the screen with interest.

The picture quality is really bad, and the shaking is quite powerful.

In his eyes, it is not difficult to see that this is using a cheap DV camera, and it is handheld, and professional equipment like Steadicam must not have been used.

After watching it for a while, Ronan looked at the people who showed the movie again.

There were only two people in the roadshow, both in their thirties, one white with glasses and the other a mixed Latin.

"Sucks......"

There were a lot of people who complained about the film, and soon there were only three people left: Ronan, Tony, and Billy from Artison Entertainment.

Tony whispered, "Let's go too, it's not a movie, it's just a shoddy selfie DV." ”

Ronan shook his head: "Don't worry, wait a while." ”

He continued to look at the picture, it seemed to be a little different from his impression, many places were not in the same order, and there were too many flaws, as if something was not right?

Then, Ronan figured it out, edit!

It is estimated that after the film fell into the hands of the film company in the previous life, it was re-edited.

"Are you here?" someone walked between Ronan and Billy of Atison Entertainment, looked left and right, and said, "Found an interesting movie?"

It was Gray Enrique, who passed by, and when he passed by, he saw Ronan and Billy staring at the same movie, and as a buyer's sensitive touch, he immediately urged him to come over.

Billy glanced at Gray, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "What's any interesting movie, just marvel at the fact that the film festival is getting more and more degenerate, and even this kind of wild selfie DV video can be used as a road show." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head.

Ronan echoed: "The subtleties can reflect the overall situation, and the movies I have seen are disappointing, and the film festival is not as good as before." ”

Of course, Gray Enrique didn't believe the words of the two colleagues, and after smiling, he stared at the small screen for a while, and the camera shook violently, coupled with the rough and inferior picture, he only felt dizzy.

He looked left and right at the two peers again, it turned out that these two were not lying, this was not a movie at all, and the home videos he made himself were better than this.

Sure enough, the St. Denis Film Festival is becoming more and more unlimited, and any tattered can come and be screened.

Billy Horford peeked at Ronan and Gray, and when he saw that the two of them shook their heads vigorously, he didn't say anything, but looked at the two people in the screening.

This DV video is really bad, but it gives him a strange feeling, which makes a professional buyer vaguely feel a little valuable, but he can't say where the value is.

The picture on the small screen suddenly went black, and there was a problem with the old projector.

"I'm sorry. The bespectacled white man hurriedly said, "The projector is broken, I'm sorry." ”

He didn't mean to fix the projector, but instead came over.

During the screening, he was quietly observing, and from the last few people left, he smelled the smell of movie buyers.

He has been to many film companies with film on his back, but none of them have shown even the slightest interest, and coming to the St. Denis Film Festival is the last helpless choice.

No one cared about the festival anymore, so I had to go back and throw it in the warehouse.

"I'm Daniel Mailik, the director of this film. The middle-aged man with eyes introduced himself first, then took out his business card, handed them to Ronan, Gray and Billy and others one by one, and said: "We will do a screening tomorrow, I will try to rent a new projector, if you are interested, you can call me, I will inform you of the screening time." ”

Billy took the business card and replied casually, "Thank you." ”

Although Gray didn't look down on this film, his professionalism as a buyer was excellent, just like he did with Ronan at the beginning, he took the business card very politely, and said with a smile: "A very characteristic film." ”

Daniel Mailrick finally handed the business card to Ronan, who looked at it next and said, "Very interesting film." ”

This is very false, not to mention that Billy and Gray, two professional buyers, can hear it, Tony has an urge to roll his eyes, can he be more perfunctory?

Ronan casually put the business card in his pocket, pulled down Tony, and said, "Let's go." ”

Tony nodded: "Don't watch this kind of bad movie, you take me to watch the movie, and you have to find something eye-catching, right?"

Ronan said as he walked: "I'm dizzy from the camera, and I'm fed up." Let's go! Go back to sleep. ”

These words came unmistakably and unmistakably, Daniel Malik smiled helplessly, throwing money to make this film, it was really wrong.

Gray also shook his head, this kind of film has no value at all, strictly speaking, this is not a movie at all.

Seeing Gray Enrique leave, Billy hesitated and left.

It felt like there was a hidden value in this film, but reason told him that this kind of stuff wouldn't sell the videotapes on the market.

Let's wait for the next time this director shows the film, let's see.

This kind of film, 99% of the time is likely to be smashed in the hands of the filmmaker.

Then again, the picture is so rough, the camera is so shaky, and there is no storyline to speak of, what do you do when you buy it back?

No matter how I say that I am also a veteran film buyer, it is too cheap to come to the St. Denis Film Festival and buy a videotape film that has no market.

Back in his hotel room, Tony changes his clothes and calls Ronan to the hotel bar.

"Maybe you'll meet a female celebrity?" Tony said to Ronan.

Ronan took out the business card, took out his phone again, and waved his hand at Tony, "Go ahead, I still have work to deal with." ”

Seeing Ronan pressing the number on his business card, Tony's mouth opened wide in surprise, "Isn't it? Ronan, you're actually interested in that tattered movie? You don't want to buy that DV video, do you? Can that thing be considered a movie?"

Ronan cocked up his finger, made a silent gesture, and dialed the number.

Tony stared at Ronan incredulously, scratching his head vigorously: Even if I am not a professional in the film industry, I have seen a lot of movies, and the most shoddy uncle-level ***** produced in Germany are better than the DV video.

Ronan ignored Tony and waited patiently for the phone to connect.

"This is Daniel Malik, can I help you with anything?"

Hearing this voice, Ronan put away the contempt he had deliberately pretended before, and said calmly: "Hello, director Daniel Mailik, I'm Ronan Anderson, a movie buyer at Relativity Entertainment Group, I watched your film tonight and want to talk to you." ”

The voice on the other side of the phone was full of surprise: "Ah...... Ahh

Ronan couldn't be too anxious, that would be bad for the next, he said lightly: "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I will wait for you at the café of the Park Intercity Hotel." ”

"Okay, good!" was very excited: "I will be there on time!"
