Chapter 264: Speaking is an Art (4/4)
On such an important occasion, how could it be the municipal radio and television department that spoke first, it turned out that he was warming up...
"Whoa!"
After the applause, Mayor Lu, the highest-level leader present today, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am a layman in film and television, and I came today to listen to opinions, so I won't say much, you continue." ”
"Heh, what Mayor Lu means is that professional things are left to professional people. Okay, then we have to invite Han Shanping, chairman of China Film Group, to speak. ”
Director Li said with a smile.
Well done host!
The third master sat in his place and said solemnly: "Of course the film festival has to be held, and it has to be done well, why? I said a set of data, the total box office of Chinese films last year was..."
……
After the third master finished speaking, there were several representatives of the association, and finally it was Tong Gang's turn to finish...
All in all, it is a sentence 'We will definitely do our best to run the Beijing Film Festival'...
Zhang Junsheng was a little bored sitting in the back...
Frankly speaking, he really doesn't know what the 'Northern Film Festival' has to do with him, and he doesn't expect the Northern Film Festival to make money...
It is estimated that this time he and Lao Tang came over to listen to it.
Frankly speaking, whether it is the Beijing Film Festival or the Shanghai Film Festival, it is very embarrassing, one is next to the Berlin Film Festival, and the other is just the end of the Cannes Film Festival.
Not to mention the international masters, many of our country's own filmmakers don't take these two to heart.
In fact, in recent years, the whole world has faced a problem, there are few good movies, and the masters are withering...
The competition film festival, led by the three major European exhibitions, has been in operation for at least ten years, and is the promoter and beneficiary of the flourishing period of art films in the last century.
The three major exhibitions every year seem to be beautiful, but in fact, in order to make a good film participate in the competition, I don't know how much effort it takes to fight for favors and conditions...
The most important thing is the attitude of the film festival itself towards films, just ask, those existing masters, let's say Woody Allen, why did he come to the capital?
Why do you want to bring the work to the Beijing Film Festival?
Woody Allen is probably Zhang Junsheng's most admired director, and Mr. Woody told the younger generations of filmmakers with his life that if you want to maintain a strong creative rhythm and release new works every year, then you must have a lot of lovers... Even goddaughters.
In the field of art, the muse is the infinite source of inspiration for creators.
The collision of film directors and actresses is the responsibility and obligation given by society...
In this day and age, everyone's requirements for entertainment stars are too high, and if you think about Bergman, lustful, cold, and old bastard, is another label he has outside of movies...
By the way, how did Cannes develop at that time?
Berlin in front, Venice in the back...
Well, it is said that in order to attract attention, I found a large wave of erotic movies, and simply held a "erotic film exhibition": all thighs, buttocks and breasts...
Then, the whole Cannes was on fire all at once!
To tell the truth, if the Beijing Film Festival opens the 'tertiary film screening', Zhang Junsheng doesn't mind making a high-profile "The Legend of the Wind and the Moon"...
“… Come, I would like to invite Mr. Zhang Junsheng to speak!"
"Whoa..."
Accompanied by applause, a group of people turned their heads curiously and looked at Zhang Junsheng seriously...
How to say it, Zhang Junsheng is very famous, but he rarely appears in public, and these people have never seen him at all.
Most of them have the idea that 'he looks like this'...
'What does this rider have to do with me?'
'I'm just going to come over and make some soy sauce...'
A little helpless, but being named, of course I have to stand up: "... I'm actually here to learn, but since I'm allowed to speak, I'll say a few words..."
While talking, the brain is running quickly, and you must not drop the chain at this time!
If you speak too shallowly, it seems that you are not level, but you can't speak too deeply...
Don't talk nonsense, you have to be substantial!
……
"I've been in Hollywood for a few years, and I have a general idea of what foreigners think about Chinese films and the Chinese film market!"
"When foreigners mention the Chinese market, they immediately give a thumbs up, which shows that our market is broad, but on the contrary, it is difficult for our films to go out..."
"No, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very good at the overseas box office!"
“… is different, in addition to the novel theme, the main reason why "A Chinese Ghost Story" can sell well is because Universal's marketing is doing well, and it is a co-production, and the source of funding is mainly Universal!"
Another point, the movie is very fragrant, the more fragrant it is, the more global it is!
"That..."
"The global success of "Hero" is also because Miramax, the largest independent film company in Hollywood, is behind it!"
No one spoke, Zhang Junsheng continued: "Actually, not only Chinese films, but also the entire culture of East Asia is relatively independent, compared with South Korea and Japan, we can conclude that the status of Chinese films in the whole world is on the lower side." ”
"But we have one of the biggest advantages, the market, according to statistics, at most two years, we will become the second largest market in the world, why the Toronto Film Festival can do it? is because of the back of the North American film market..."
"Why has Cannes become the most famous film festival in Europe?
"With the national resources of the China Film Archive, the natural advantages of Chinese and foreign art film screening, ticket prices, film sources, venues and other conditions, I believe that the Beijing Film Festival will be successfully held!"
In fact, Zhang Junsheng wants to say that we can learn from the film festival...
After all, the Shanghai Film Festival has done really well in the past few years, no longer focusing on big and comprehensive, but focusing on three points of 'Asian, Chinese, and newcomers', and has successively turned these three characteristics into reality in the past few years.
Nowadays, in the whole of Asia, the Shanghai Film Festival is no weaker than the Busan Film Festival, the Tokyo Film Festival...
This is also the reason why so many filmmakers are willing to come to the festival every year.
But the reason why the Northern Film Festival is held is, of course, the idea of surpassing the Shanghai Film Festival.
Want to study at a film festival?
What to learn?
In fact, "blockbusters" and "big names" are two crucial factors that affect the quality of film festivals.
How many new films with world premieres and how many top films with international reputation are important dimensions to measure whether a film festival has an impact.
The festival is right in the middle of Berlin and Cannes...
Most of the good films that didn't have time to make it to the Berlin Film Festival are aiming for Cannes...
How to break through the Beijing Film Festival to attract everyone is a problem.
Of course, this question has nothing to do with Zhang Junsheng, he only knows that he has no problem speaking, although it means that he didn't say anything, but at least he pointed out the problem, which is much deeper than what he said just now!
In fact, even if he said it, what could he do?
As a director said: 'In my opinion, an important purpose of holding an international film festival is to show the prosperity of the national radio, film and television industry, further innovate ideas, use the power of science and technology to integrate into Chinese films, create a film artistic conception, form a magnificent momentum and strong emotional appeal, and create a film carnival with an audio-visual feast and reflecting international standards!'
Won a full house of applause...
