『Chapter error, click here to report』
He used to be a newcomer, but his luck was appreciated by Boss Moran, and he struggled all the way from below to his current position. When I just graduated, I was rejected by this, disliked by that, and what if I went to college? In this era, it is not a prestigious university, there are no connections, there is no backstage, and it is really not easy to find a satisfactory job.
He met his goddess of luck after running into walls everywhere, so after knowing that his friend was so serious about the movie, but because he was an Oriental, he hit the wall again and again, and finally decided to make this call.
He is in this industry, and he knows very well how Hollywood, or the West as a whole, views Oriental films. Every time he sees Hollywood blockbusters win huge box office sums again and again, crushing local films to the point that they can't be seen, his heart is crying blood.
The boss's appearance of killing all sides with movies around the world is so handsome that she has no friends, and the success of the box office in film history before I don't know how many people regard her as their idol. He hopes that one day filmmakers from his own country can reach that level!
My friend and he have been neighbors since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the two of them grew up wearing a pair of pants. From a very young age, he knew how much his friends loved movies and how much effort they made to them. Later, when he was going to make a movie, he also took out more than half of his savings as an investment.
Speaking of friends, it is also considered luck, I met someone who appreciated him, sent the film to the international film festival, and got a lot of attention. It's just that there are no well-known actors in his films, and there are not enough gimmicks, and although he has received some praise from the audience, the awards he has won are not enough for him to gain recognition in the West.
When he tried to seek a release from the American side, he was ridiculed again and again. Those people didn't even see his films, and refused just because of his Oriental status.
Fu Chuan knew the details of these things from other people's mouths, so he dialed the boss's phone number with the idea of "it's okay to be fired by the boss".
But what he didn't expect was that the boss was so good at talking, and he directly agreed to be willing to watch his friend's movie. He believes that with the vision of the boss, he can definitely eliminate those discrimination and discover the benefits of the film!
As long as the boss agrees to buy the distribution rights, do you still have to worry about the film failing?
Don't be kidding, Moran's film company, whether it's an immortal bird or a dragon soul, has no record of bad movies, okay?
As long as she is mixed in the film industry, who doesn't know how good Leila Moran's vision is?
The film she likes will definitely become a dark horse!
After putting down the phone, Leila continued to get back to work. When she waited for a paragraph, she remembered the movie she had just talked about on the phone, and when she opened the mailbox, she saw that there was an attachment inside.
After taking a while to download the attachments, she put on her headphones and started the screening of the movie with the audience's mood.
The movie tells the story of a volunteer teacher who travels alone to other cities after graduation in order to avoid a blind date arranged by her family. Then on the wall of a B&B, I saw that a primary school in the mountains was in urgent need of a volunteer teacher, so I embarked on a journey to the mountains.
There, she met some other companions who had come to teach with various goals, and also experienced the sadness of being a teacher.
There are hilarious, touching, sadness, love and friendship in the movie, as well as the family affection between teachers and students.
After reading it, Leila thoughtfully took off her headphones and looked at the introduction of the director in the email.
Fu Chuan wrote in detail, and almost wrote down the director's teeth when he was a child, which shows that they should have a very good relationship.
As for the movie, Leila thinks it's a good movie.
She dialed the phone and called Fu Chuan directly: "Why hasn't such a movie been released in the East?"
"Well, he seems to have offended someone and can't get permission to release it. Fu Chuan blushed a little, feeling ashamed that his country still had such a shady thing.
But he can't lie, after all, his boss is not so easy to fool. Instead of telling a lie and then using countless lies to make up for it, it is better to tell the truth from the beginning, anyway, the boss is an out-and-out "Oriental Tongtong", maybe she knows these secret things better than she knows!
That's true, in her previous life, Lyra knew a lot more than that. And his explanation also relieved her, because this is a film with a main theme, and it can also be said to be a film type that the East is willing to support. There's no reason not to occupy a more suitable market over there, but to think about the U.S. market in every possible way, right?
If it is because the director's heart is too high, he looks down on the Eastern market, and he only wants to open up the situation in the West, Leila feels that no matter how good the movie is, the director's thinking will not let him go too far.
"I've seen the movie, it's a very good movie. There are no problems with shooting and editing, and there are laughter and tears, a rare good film. ”
Fu Chuan heard the boss praise the film like this, and his two eyes opened as if they could shine: "Then boss, are you willing to ......?"
"It's a pity. Leila gave him an answer he didn't want to hear. "I couldn't release the film. ”
"Why? Don't you say it's a good movie?"
"It's a good movie, but it has a bit of limitations. If it is released in the East, it will be loved by many people. But in the West, I'm afraid this genre will have a very small audience. Even though she loved the film, Leila didn't want it to be a flop for her company's release.
Sincerity is not a problem of poor quality of films, but the difference between Eastern and Western culture and history. There may be some people who will like this movie, but it is really difficult to say that it can make back the money.
And in Leila's company, there are no millions or tens of millions of dollars, and some people still say that they are the elite of the cutting-edge plan? No matter how small-budget the film is, it will get a very good rate of return after its release. You must know that the money earned will be returned to the emerging talent plan to support the growth of more outstanding filmmakers.
It is true that Leila can take the movie to the immortal bird for distribution, but she can't break the company's rules because of her preference for the movie. Don't say that the rules are the kind of stupid things that are used to break them, if you don't follow your own rules, do you expect others to follow them?
Fu Chuan heard the boss's regret, why didn't he himself? In order to make this movie, his friend didn't know how many people he had found, how many people he begged, and even sold his house and borrowed a lot of money to make this movie. But because of the hellish reason of "offending people", I can't even get the chance to be released. That's not fair!
