It is said that the Busan Film Festival was founded in 1996, and this year is the 17th edition, and the main venue was previously in Nampo-dong, but it has been changed to Haeundae from the 9th session.

Haeundae is a seaside retreat, nothing special.

In recent years, with the release of the movie "Haeundae", it has gained a lot of fame in Asia.

Korean movies are very similar to Koreans, there is always a kind of small family atmosphere, the main special effects of "Haeundae", less than five minutes of special effects shots, the whole 120 minutes, all horses are used to show the stupidity of tourists...

That's it, there are still a bunch of people kneeling and licking - the Chinese will never be able to shoot "Haeundae" ...

Randomly found a place to eat something, Zhang Junsheng and Chen Yu went out of the hotel.

It's not Syria, security is okay.

Surrounded by buildings plastered with movie commercials, as well as stalls, booths, events, and electronic music, as far as the eye can see, it is full of black heads, and it seems that tens of thousands of people have been squeezed in.

“…”

Zhang Junsheng was a little surprised, a little-known Busan Film Festival, the scene can be so big?

"People have been doing it for more than ten years..."

Before he spoke, Chen Yu already understood the meaning in Zhang Junsheng's eyes.

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "... The Busan International Film Festival is not big, the market is here!"

“… Yes, in the past few years, the Korean film market has basically reached the ceiling, and they are eager to open up the mainland market. ”

"The mainland market is not so easy to enter, the Blue House is pro-China or pro-American, and there will be many variables if the policy is unstable!"

Chen Yu thought thoughtfully: "... So, you haven't invested in South Korea?"

"Yes, in a few years, I am ready to sell the American industry and focus on the mainland!"

"Sell it, burn it after reading?"

Zhang Junsheng sighed, "... That's right, it won't work if you don't sell it, the White House has the means to deal with a foreigner!"

Huawei was forced to withdraw from the U.S. market, and a bunch of Chinese-funded concept stocks withdrew from Nystark, so Lenovo is still insisting...

They are all headquartered in the United States...

To say that there are no political considerations in this is not to be believed!

“… I think you're interested in the festival?"

"Yes, I've always wanted to do a film festival, but unfortunately I can't get the approval!"

The approval of the Beijing Film Festival has been stuck for five years, and the Directors Guild Award has always been called the Commendation Conference, how can it be so easy for you to be a film festival?

Chen Yu suddenly spoke: "I heard that Jia Zhangke is planning the Pingyao Film Festival..."

“… Pingyao?"

"Yes!" After a pause, Chen Yu added, "It focuses on independent films... And Jia Zhangke has made a lot of contacts in Europe over the years..."

Zhang Junsheng suddenly thought of something: "If I only do film festivals, will it be better?"

Films screened at the festival are screened within a specific scope and are not considered commercial screenings and do not need to pass the censorship.

Chen Yu shook his head: "It's difficult, Yuehua's every move is attracting attention now!"

“… Forget it, it's hard to do something!"

"You don't just want to do something, do you?"

“… I mainly want to expand the reputation of Suzhou Film Base..."

"That's even more impossible, with the Shanghai Film Festival, it is impossible for them to agree to build another Suzhou Film Festival!"

This is all true, the last Wangda signed agreements with the Chinese Film Association and the Oscar Academy in the United States to prepare for the Qingdao International Film Festival. Lao Wang said what he said, and strive to build the Qingdao International Film Festival into a world-ranked international film festival in three to five years, and change the situation that China has no world brand of film culture. But after tossing for a long time, the film festival just couldn't get approval.

Lao Wang is really inflated, and he can't understand very simple politics?

If your Qingdao Film Festival becomes the world's top international film festival in three to five years, where will I put the Beijing Film Festival? Where will I go to the film festival?

Waste of resources?

A private company steals business with a political axe?

"Alright, let's go to the screening area!"

……

Film festivals are business.

If a film festival wants to become bigger and stronger, it is almost impossible without the support of the film trading market.

Behind Cannes is the first film market in Europe and the second in the world;

Behind Berlin is the second largest trading market in Europe and the third largest in the world.

Venice has been overwhelmed by Toronto in recent years, precisely because Venice does not have a mature film market, and Toronto is backed by the North American market.

The Shanghai Film Festival and the Beijing Film Festival have risen strongly in recent years, which is not only relying on the expansion of the market!

The main competition unit of the Busan Film Festival mainly promotes the new wave, which is a very smart choice, and they also know that commercial films must not be PK the United States, so they simply don't engage in commercial films!

After turning around, I finally found the sea promotion exhibition area of China Film, and the main movies are "The Mystery of the Floating City" and "Time and Space Rescue"...

It's not the same casual attitude as I saw it last time in Berlin, but this time the booth in Busan and Haetui is quite exquisite, at least there is a movie album on the shelf...

But the attitude is still very perfunctory...

Even in the face of Zhang Junsheng, the staff is still very casual.

Most of the staff who can be arranged to push the sea are from backgrounds, and they come abroad mainly to enjoy the customs and experience the scenery of a different place, and the work is just incidental...

As for Zhang Junsheng, he is not a leader!

Chen Yu suddenly pointed to the exhibition area not far away: "... There's SM.'s booth over there, would you like to check it out?"

“… They also make movies?"

Zhang Junsheng was a little surprised, isn't SM. specialized in making idols?

"I don't know, go take a look!"

Chen Yu shrugged his shoulders, he didn't know much about the Korean entertainment industry either...

Unlike the previous exhibition area, the movie album in the SM. exhibition area is more like... Photo album!

“… It's pure fan cinema!"

"Fan movies?"

"It's just for fans to see, let's go..."

“… Wait a minute!"

Chen Yu was interested...

I wanted to negotiate with the person in charge in English, but unfortunately the other party's English was too Korean, and he couldn't understand it...

"Make a call and ask Xiao Li to come over,"

Xiao Li is the translator who came over this time...

“… No, I told you this is a fan-oriented movie, you..."

Chen Yu smiled mysteriously: "There are many fans of these people in China, I think there is a profit!"

“… Cinema screening?"

"No, I'll sell to a video company..."

“… Video company?"

Zhang Junsheng's eyes rolled, yes, why didn't he expect it!

"You're right, there's something going on here..."

Chen Yu was stunned...

"Boss... You're robbing me of this money, aren't you?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer, the day after tomorrow, you go to SM. to negotiate with Lao Tang, I will make you satisfied!"

Giving him an expression that all men understand, Chen Yu pouted: "Don't be sloppy, although I am very interested in them, there is no need to lose tens of millions for women!"

“… Where did you get tens of millions? You think too much!"

"Why don't you have tens of millions, if I buy it out exclusively, and then sell it to Fuji Xun..."

"Do you think Fuji Xun's people are bad writers?" by the way, he despised Chen Yu: "Besides, I don't believe that there is no special website!"

"Even if they do, they have absolutely no copyright!"

“… Okay, it's a big deal for you to take a share of the shares!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Chen Yu was satisfied.
