"That's just from your point of view. Zhang Guorong flipped the page of the newspaper and said as he read it: "Don't you look at how high her starting point is, is it still necessary to pursue the awards of the film festival? Or you should think about why the films that participated in the film festival are going to participate." ”

"Of course, I participated to win an award!" Chen Shufen looked at him puzzled. If you don't want to win a prize, do you still go sightseeing?

Zhang Guorong shook his head with a smile: "The vast majority of people make films, and the ultimate goal is to be in theaters in the United States. It is an honor for them to go to the United States, and it is also an affirmation of their ability. But do you think Leila would need to do that?"

"Definitely not!" she herself is developing in Hollywood, why bother to go around that thing again?

In this way, Chen Shufen seems to understand a little.

Zhang Guorong continued: "No one can deny that the box office in the United States is the most important box office country in the world. Why do people in the film industry want to go to Hollywood, isn't it because it is the mecca of movies?"

Generally, there is no way, or if a film from other countries wants to make a difference, it needs to first make its name so that American studios can see it, and then sell the distribution rights before it can be in the United States, where filmmakers want to go.

But how can you make a name for yourself and let the distributors see you? The easier way, or the way with a higher success rate, is to pass the evaluation of major film festivals. With the energy of the film festival, let your film be recognized within a certain range, so that it is possible to attract the attention of film companies.

Therefore, the significance of winning those awards may have some weight in the hearts of many filmmakers, but for those who are really ambitious, they just make it a ladder to support themselves on the road to Hollywood.

The Oscar is the ultimate goal of filmmakers, and all filmmakers around the world want to step on its podium, even if it is an honor to be on the list of nominees. But there is still a problem here, and that is that it has a rule that a film must be shown in theaters in the United States for a certain period of time. It doesn't matter if it's an on-demand screening, in short, you must have a certain amount of screen time to be eligible for the Oscars.

But if you want to release it in the United States, only American distributors can do it.

So the question goes back to what it takes to attract publishers in the US?

Let's take an Oriental film as an analogy. The resulting film is judged at film festivals, recognized by audiences and judges, and then awarded some awards (even if it doesn't win, it must have a quality that looks like it will make money), so as to attract the favor of the studios, and then arrange for the release in the United States. After you have the time to be released, you will apply for the qualification to participate in the Oscars.

Because of these conditions, many films that are famous in the East or in Asia have been acquired by American studios for distribution rights at very low prices. It's really very low, maybe only tens of thousands of dollars in price, hundreds of thousands of dollars is already quite a good price.

It can't be said that they are too black and ruthless, and those people are not philanthropists, so why take risks with oriental films if they can't make money?

The differences between the East and the West are great, and plots that may be popular in the East seem so profound and difficult to understand in the West. Some of the historical things, some charms, and some stalks in the film are definitely not well understood by Westerners, so the experience of watching the movie is not as good as that of Orientals.

Therefore, the film company took a great risk by taking the distribution rights of oriental films. Usually they will do a screening first after buying it, and only expand the screening when they see that the box office is good. As for propaganda or something, don't think about it, it's good to be able to put a poster on it. Many oriental films have not received attention, and the lack of publicity is one of the most critical problems.

In Zhang Guorong's "popular science", Chen Shufen understood. It's no wonder that Leila doesn't participate in the film festival, it's completely because her starting point is too high, and she has what other directors desperately want to get. Her company releases many films a year, almost all of them from her own companies.

"There's another reason. Zhang Guorong paused, and then smiled softly: "She has won the highest award, do you think she will still be interested in the little red flower in the class? If she is not interested, why should she bother to participate?"

She has won many Oscars for all filmmakers, how can she look at other awards?

Chen Shufen was so crying and laughing that he said "the little red flower in the class", but he knew in his heart that he was not joking.

"I see. She sighed softly. "What if ......reincarnation is a technical job?

If he was also born in such a family, he must have won the honor that should have belonged to him a long time ago with his strength, right?

Zhang Guorong shook his head: "That's not the case, it doesn't have much to do with the background." Do you really think that without this background, she would not be able to stand in her current position? Don't forget how she got up, even if there is no Moran family behind her, with her ability, she will win a place in the world film industry. ”

Chen Shufen actually wanted to sigh: "Okay, what you said is right, she is amazing, she is the most powerful super director in Hollywood! No matter what her background is, at least she has a good vision and can take you to Hollywood." When she said this, she remembered another lucky person she brought to Hollywood, the Roy star who was now about to marry her.

That guy's reincarnation technique is not good, but the luck of hitting a noble person is superb. The lives of these two people have long been dug up by the media, and they themselves have revealed a lot on some talk shows. So almost everyone who knows them all over the world knows what is going on between them, and therefore they are very envious and moved by their fairytale meeting.

"There is no one in this world who can get something for nothing. There is a reward for paying. Zhang Guorong looked at the newspaper and said lightly, and also ended this conversation.

Anyone who's ever worked with Leila knows that the accolades and trophies she's received don't fall from the sky indiscriminately. Her valuing and serious attitude towards movies is what makes her movies good. If you don't even take your work seriously, what can you talk about making a movie? Whether a movie has sincerity or not can be seen by looking at the audience's reputation.

Why does Leila have so many fans, why are her films so popular? Isn't the real reason that the audience feels her sincerity in her films and accepts the films that her sincerity brings?
