Chapter 63: Berlin (part 3 of 5)

Is "Happy Family 2009" a bad movie?

Wang Jing famously said, "If you deceive the audience with your heart, it's not a bad movie!"

It is probably inappropriate to put it on Huang Baiming, "Happy Family 2009" may not even be able to meet the basic condition of deceiving the audience with heart!

It should be like this, Huang Baiming took the project of "Happy Events in the Family" to find investors and advertisers, and said I, Huang Baiming, make money!

Investors take a look, oops,, "Happy Events" is a big IP!

Advertisers take a look, oops,, Huang Baiming, hit the money!

The funds arrived, the big head stayed by himself, found a few old friends, made up a random story, pretended to be crazy and stupid, made up enough 90 minutes, and then took it out and cheated again...

It is said that Guangxian Media first bought out the mainland distribution rights at a price of 3,000 plays...

Tsk, come and go, Huang Baiming has at least 50 million in his account!

Those celebrities also have a salary, Kaisen...

Advertisers also feel that it is worth the money, and "Happy Family" eh...

The producer is Huang Baiming himself, he has already made money!

The only one who lost money was Guangxian Media, but they went online with Huang Baiming!

Spend some money, it's worth it!

You see, who in this chain has considered the audience?

In later generations, whether it is an acting school or a national treasure director, whether it is ancient and modern strange stories, or a combination of Chinese and Western, all of them are jaw-dropping.

Actors who changed careers to become directors, directors who turned careers to become actors, screenwriters who can't stand the chaos in the circle, and box lunches that can't stand too low salaries, are all making movies.

And the audience is also very buying, the box office of these movies is not low, more than 10 million, over 100 million, over hundreds of millions, all of them have recovered their costs, and they have sold a familiar face.

Later, the era of traffic came.

Several idols relied on one expression and repeatedly brushed their faces in movies, TV dramas, and online dramas, what "Xia Youqiao Yawang Heaven", what "To Youth 2, So You Are Still Here", what "Why Sheng Xiaomo", "Bride Wars"...

And the box office is higher.

Why are bad dramas and bad movies rampant?

Is the audience to blame?

Life is already so hard that people are only looking for a momentary "good" or "we watch movies just to have fun!"

Blame idols?

They are nothing more than commodities, and where can commodities determine their own destiny?

That blames the director?

What can the director decide? If you don't direct a play, you will have 100,000 of them.

So, blame the money?

Money is capital, and capital exists for the purpose of regeneration, so how can we blame the essence of a thing?

Looking at it this way, no one can blame it, everyone is innocent. But it is precisely these innocent people who make a mess of everything.

……

"After all, "Happy Family" is a big IP, with a fan base of tens of millions, and no matter how bad the filming is, someone will pay for it!"

After a pause, Zhang Junsheng continued: "Do you know "Little Times"?"

"You know, what is Luo Xiaoxu writing it when it was pushed out by Chunyi Publishing House?"

"North Junsheng, South Xiaoxu!"

Why don't you say North Qiao Feng and South Murong?

I, Qiao Feng, am a good man, and I am actually as famous as you like you!

"I dare to say that if a film like "Little Times" is made, it will definitely be a big hit at the box office!"

“… Shall we buy it?"

"Don't buy it!"

Zhang Junsheng looked at Tang Ningyu and said very seriously: "After Yuehua is listed, we will be a benchmark media company, we will not reject bad movies, and we will also make movies that are purely money-making, but the main focus is still on good movies, and you have to pay attention to this aspect!"

“… This is too difficult to define, and according to what you said, if "Little Times" can make a lot of money, why can't we buy it?"

"I don't like Luo Xiaoxu!"

“…”

Well, you're the boss, you're the best!

After nearly an hour, I finally waited for the notice to board the plane.

The group got up one after another, dragging their luggage to board the plane from the VIP channel.

Entered the cabin, followed the stewardess prompts to his place, put the salute in the salute rack on the seat, and then sat in his seat, reading books and chatting.

"Mr. Zhang, how many overseas copyrights do you think "Love Has an Afterlife" can sell?"

Yu Feihong, who had been listening to a few of them bragging, suddenly spoke.

“… It's hard to say, you have to see it live, but in recent years, the overseas situation has not been good, and Chinese films are still not worried about sales. ”

Looking at Yu Feihong, Zhang Junsheng explained: "Yuehua has a good relationship with film dealers in Southeast Asia and East Asia, and the first few films were all given copyrights at low prices.

“… You don't have to explain it to me, I'll just ask. ”

The distance between the two is a little close, and Yu Feihong is a little unaccustomed...

The son of the plane hurriedly changed the subject: "Is your house really sold?"

"Well, the location is not very good, and in a hurry to get rid of it, it was sold for 8 million!"

“… You're good enough!"

Selling a house for the sake of a movie, this spirit of dedicating all his life for the ideal, Zhang Junsheng is difficult to understand...

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, the plane landed steadily in Berlin...

Zhang Junsheng and they did not go to the Hyatt Regency Hotel, but chose the Adlon Hotel.

The Hyatt Regency Hotel is one of the main venues of the film festival and is a mid-range hotel.

The Adlon Hotel was the favorite residence of Wilhelm II, the last emperor of the German Empire, and was once home to countless international celebrities and dignitaries.

Michael Jackson threw the child, and it was at the Adlon Hotel...

After checking in, Tang Ningyu couldn't wait to pull Zhang Junsheng and Zhang Yang to the film festival trading market.

Europe's top three, the Berlinale with a clear political symbol!

From day one, politics was the overwhelming theme, and the so-called exchange of film art was completely out of the question.

The main purpose of the Venice Film Festival is to raise the level of cinematic art.

It focuses on film experimenters from all over the world, encouraging them to make films with new forms and unique techniques, even if there are some flaws, as long as they are innovative, they can be accepted by the festival.

The Festival de Cannes has become one of the world's most prestigious venues for talented films, and a strong media campaign ensures that the selected films are immediately presented to a global audience.

Berlin...

Just look at the stars in Hollywood that people come to every year!

George Clooney, Brad Pitt...

All politically leaning ultra-left stars!

The three major film festivals are also known as: pioneer tea party, gimmick auction house, political correctional center...

Generally speaking, only films that appear overwhelming, and eventually win the Golden Bear, are likely to have nothing to do with politics...

This year's shortlisted films, "Sad Milk", "London River" and "About Elly" all have political factors!

It's a lot of pressure.

The Berlinale is obviously much quieter than Cannes, and studios prefer Cannes in May, after all, Berlin is still too cold in February.
