Chapter 373: Trying to Deceive Cannes
This trip to the East China Sea basically achieved Mai Xiaoyu's set goal, but unfortunately he didn't see Chen Qiaoen. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I can't say it's a pity, it can only be regarded as a tangle.
In the days when he was in contact with the Hailian Distribution Department, not to mention Chen Qiaoen's figure, he didn't know who to inquire about Chen Qiaoen's news. But then again, it may be a good thing that he didn't meet, otherwise what should he say when he sees Chen Qiaoen?
took Chen Xiangxi's car to the airport, and when he left Hailian Cinema Line, Chen Qiaoen, who was holding coffee, withdrew his gaze from a certain office window upstairs. There was a bit of amazement in his relieved eyes.
In ordinary work, there is often cooperation between the distribution department and the publicity department, and Mai Xiaoyu learned from her colleagues a few days after she came to Hailian.
There were several times when she almost met with Mai Xiaoyu, but she deliberately avoided them.
Mai Xiaoyu didn't know how to speak after the two sides met, and she did the same.
But when he saw Mai Xiaoyu leaving, he was relieved and inevitably a little bitter.
After hesitating for a moment and putting down the coffee, Chen Qiaoen came to Chen Xiangxi's office, deliberately pretended to be joking, and asked, "Third uncle, why did that liar come to you again?"
"You girl, open your mouth to be a 'liar', if your father hears it, he will count you down. ”
"He's meant to be!"
"Why do you always say that he is a liar? In the past few years, I won't talk about the film and television dramas produced by their company, you have also written a lot of advertorials for cute people in Yanjing before, don't you know the situation of cute people?"
It was because I understood that I knew that guy was a complete liar.
Chen Qiaoen muttered a few words and continued to ask: "What happened to him this time, should he want to lie to you again?"
Why does this kid always have prejudices against Mai Xiaoyu?
Chen Xiangxi shook his head: "He didn't come to me this time, it was their company's new film that had a problem, and it didn't pass the review twice, and he revised the distribution plan with the distribution department......
After listening to Chen Xiangxi's brief introduction, Chen Qiaoen frowned slightly: "First released in Hong Kong and Taiwan? ”
"Who's to say it isn't. By the way, he is still thinking about overseas distribution ......" Speaking of this, Chen Xiangxi couldn't help but shake his head.
The idea is bold and aggressive, but it has a sense of fantasy.
However, Chen Qiaoen did not think so: "Maybe it can really succeed." That liar is very good, as long as there is a penny of color, he can open a dye shop, giggles. ”
It seems to be right.
Recalling his acquaintance with Mai Xiaoyu, and the rise of cute people step by step over the years, Chen Xiangxi felt that his niece's words made some sense.
"Looks like you're quite familiar with Moe's style of doing things. The third uncle asked you something, their company is preparing to shoot the TV series "Struggle", which is a youth inspirational drama, please ask Qianqian to star, do you think Qianqian can go to the next level with this drama?"
One step up, it's a line!
Chen Qiaoen has not read the script of "Struggle" and can't answer this question, but she knows that cute people at least have a big killer.
"Third uncle, you want Sister Qianqian to become a popular star, why don't you let her play "Boys Over Flowers"? As far as I know, Meng Ren has long intended to adapt this comic into a TV series, and if Sister Qianqian stars in it, her popularity will definitely increase after the broadcast. ”
"I've heard of comics, will it be adapted into a TV series?"
He would definitely be able to catch fire, he wouldn't lie to me, otherwise he wouldn't have been trying his best to pry me in the first place......
Chen Qiaoen's unprovoked words aroused Chen Xiangxi's curiosity.
He checked the Internet and found that the popularity of this serialized comic was far beyond imagination, so he dialed Mai Xiaoyu's phone.
A few minutes later, he hung up the phone, and before he could speak, Chen Qiaoen had already asked anxiously: "How is it, what did he say?"
"He said the cartoon was no longer being filmed. ”
"Why?"
He didn't say the reason, only said that this comic can only be a comic in the future, and it will never be adapted into a film and television drama. is so arbitrary, can the author Maizi agree? Cut off people's financial routes, he is not afraid that Maizi will turn his face against him?"
He is the wheat, and the wheat is him, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
Will never adapt a film or television drama?
Is it because of me?
Count him as having a conscience.
Inexplicably, the corners of Chen Qiaoen's mouth turned up slightly, and there was a faint joy in his heart.
Chen Xiangxi frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
"Ahh That, third uncle, what is the name of the movie made by their company this time, and what is it about?"
Chen Xiangxi didn't realize that his niece changed the topic, and said casually: ""Fatal ID", quite a strange name, I don't know the specific content, I only returned to the company the day before yesterday." ”
Fatal ID?
This name is really strange, when it is released on Taiwan Island, I will invite friends to watch it, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the box office.
……
Chen Xiangxi's call about "Boys Over Flowers", whether there is Chen Qiaoen's shadow behind it, Mai Xiaoyu has no time to think about it. After returning to Yanjing, he devoted himself to the movie "Deadly ID".
Yu Xiaoxing has re-edited the movie according to his request, and the whole plot is the same as in a dream.
He had to consider the operation of the film, the way it was distributed overseas and the feasibility.
After thinking about it for a day, he still thinks that the plot of "Fatal ID" should meet the tastes of Western audiences and is worth a try, the only thing that needs to be considered is the cost of input and the convenience of the method.
The traditional number of channels is obviously not suitable through the Hailian Distribution Department or a special distribution company in Xiangjiang, not only because of the long consumption time, but also the cost...... Abroad is settled in the American knife!
Mai Xiaoyu prides himself on being a professional liar, and his favorite is how fast and easy it is.
This problem bothered him for three days, and with the appearance of Ye Chu, an uninvited guest, it was solved.
Ye Chu came to Liutao, bringing a verbal intention, a domestic endorsement intention of a third-tier brand of a top international cosmetics group.
Looking at the slowly superior feeling of this product, Mai Xiaoyu couldn't help but scold: "Are you crazy, are you embarrassed to speak for third-tier brands?"
"A man should have a broad mind, how can you anger Miss Liu Tao because of me!"
"Are you overestimating yourself?"
"Am I wrong? "Fairy Sword" is such a popular TV series, you don't let Miss Liu Tao act, I can easily help her through family relationships and help her win endorsement intentions You also refuse, are you worthy of Miss Liu Tao's true feelings for you!"
"Be quiet. Mai Xiaoyu looked at the door of the office and closed it very tightly, "If it's a first-line brand, I won't say a word, a third-line brand ...... Hehe. ”
Ye Chu's eyes widened and he looked at Mai Xiaoyu in disbelief.
It's not that he didn't want to help Liutao fight for first-line brand endorsements, but Liutao was limited by popularity and popularity, and his commercial value could not be reached. And what he brought was a third-tier brand under a top international cosmetics group, not an ordinary third-tier brand.
The road should be walked step by step, and the meal should be eaten in one bite. Sign the endorsement first, lay the foundation for the cooperation between the two sides, and it is not hopeless to endorse second-tier brands and even first-line brands in the future!
But Mai Xiaoyu considered that "Full House of Romance" has a great possibility of replicating the success of "Fairy Sword", and when the time comes, Liu Tao will be popular, and the endorsement contract will be exclusive, even if the first-tier and second-tier brand endorsement contracts are sent to the door, it will be in vain.
was vetoed by Mai Xiaoyu for his hard work, Ye Chu was very unhappy: "The success of "Full House of Romance" to copy "Fairy Sword"? The five-cent special effects of "Fairy Sword" are also considered successful?"
Five-cent special effects?
Mai Xiaoyu's brows twitched twice.
He invested a lot in the special effects of "Sword and Fairy", the leading actors are all newcomers, and a large part of the investment of 20 million was invested in the picture, set and special effects, so it became popular after the broadcast.
This grandson actually said that it was a five-cent special effect......
"In my eyes, it's a five-cent special effect!"
Ye Chu's family background, as well as his experience of studying in the United States, forged his high vision. He has been exposed to many American special effects blockbusters, and the special effects of domestic film and television dramas are classified by him as "five cents".
Mai Xiaoyu didn't bother to say more to him: "Who wouldn't know how to move your mouth?" The level of domestic special effects is like this, you have the ability to build a high-grade special effects company by yourself!"
"The agitation method didn't work for me, but I accept your challenge. In a few days, I went to the United States to contact friends and returned to China to set up my own special effects company. ”
"Do you know anyone else who is a master of special effects in movies?"
"Special effects are not difficult, they are inseparable from the basic knowledge of physics, art, and computers. I have a double master's degree in physics and computer science, and many of my classmates and alumni are engaged in related work. ”
"Are any of your classmates involved in film distribution?"
Ye Chu's IQ is very high, and after thinking for a few breaths, he asked: "You don't want to release it overseas, do you, "There Are No Thieves in the World"? Let me tell you, this movie is not played in the United States, except for the Chinese in the United States, other Americans are most interested in Chinese kung fu. ”
He was half right.
Mai Xiaoyu is considering overseas release, but it is not "No Thieves in the World", but "Deadly ID".
Taking advantage of the situation is one of the basic qualities of a liar, although Ye Chu's family background Mai Xiaoyu does not understand, but judging from his past style, the energy is not small. If he has overseas distribution channels or knows relevant professionals, Mak Xiaoyu doesn't mind taking advantage of his momentum.
It's true that this product always cares about his own woman, but he doesn't have any excessive actions, unlike Ning Shibin, who is arrogant and domineering and bullies men and women, on the whole, Mai Xiaoyu's sense of this product is not too bad.
Moreover, he and Liu Tao broke the initial layer of paper, thanks to the stimulation of this product.
"You say you don't know anyone. ”
"I don't know. ”
Mai Xiaoyu waved his hand: "Let's go!"
"Businessmen are really profit-oriented!" Ye Chu dropped a sentence angrily, walked to the door and suddenly stopped, "Although I don't know anyone, I have other methods, and it is also one of the common ways for international producers and independent filmmakers." ”
"Isn't it right to go to an international film festival?"
The international film festival facilitates international exchanges within the industry and is a grand event for filmmakers.
To put it mildly, the film festival provides a platform for filmmakers to showcase the style of different film works, discover and explore potential people, things and things, and definitely have obvious results, research industry topics, etc., so as to promote the entire industry to make a summary and make progress in a positive direction......
To put it more realistically, directors are expected to gain popularity and increase the box office by bringing their works, actors can increase exposure and stir up buzz by walking the red carpet, sponsors can use advertisements, models and spokespersons to show brand charm, independent filmmakers take the opportunity to promote their films, distributors look for high-quality items that can be purchased with the potential to create wealth, and media reporters get fresh and unique news materials......
To put it bluntly, everyone may have benefits, so they will rush to it, because it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
The annual Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to take place in May, and registration is still in time.
Cannes has a virgin complex, and the participating films are required to premiere at the festival in order to be eligible. "No Thieves in the World" is obviously not suitable for the main competition unit, and "Fatal ID", which has not yet been released, is suitable, but ......
Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to enter the main competition unit, even if it is very likely, Mai Xiaoyu will not easily gamble on the future of Xiao Xing's director.
"Fatal ID" does not have a dragon mark!
If a film that has not obtained the "Film Release Permit" participates in a foreign film festival (exhibition), the director is prohibited from making a film for 5 years.
Of course, there are also unspoken rules in this, if the subject matter of the movie is not too excessive and not particularly sensitive, as long as you win the award, it is possible to make up the dragon mark.
Scammers never bet on small probability events, so the Cannes Film Festival was just a flash in Mai Xiaoyu's mind, and he didn't think much about it.
Today, Ye Chu mentioned again, Mai Xiaoyu thought about it carefully and came up with a new idea: I can not participate in the Cannes Film Festival, but there is no reason to give up the distributors from all over the world gathered at the festival!
Mai Xiaoyu closed his eyes and slowly drew circles with his index finger on the table.
Ye Chu looked curious, called Mai Xiaoyu twice, and then walked over and waved his hand in front of Mai Xiaoyu, seeing that Mai Xiaoyu never responded, he opened the door and shouted outside: "Come on, your boss is stunned!"
Assistant Yu Ping was the first to rush over, and was also startled when she saw Mai Xiaoyu's state. shouted twice but didn't respond, she didn't dare to disturb, and hurriedly ran to find someone.
Liu Xiaoli and Li Xue have their own work to do, and they are not in Yanjing; Zhang Xiaoquan went to Shengshi to shoot advertisements to gain experience; only Xi Xiaoxing was in the company, and soon heard the news.
He knew what Mai Xiaoyu was doing, so he was not worried, and reassured the employees and let them continue to work. Then he closed the door and sat on the sofa waiting for the result while looking at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu hesitated for a moment and explained, "It has nothing to do with me. ”
"I know. ”
Out of politeness, Xiao Xing didn't say much. If he knew that Ye Chu was Liu Tao's loyal suitor, he would definitely sarcastically say without hesitation: You have to have that ability!
Ye Chu asked tentatively, "Do you need to call an ambulance?"
"What is the ambulance called, Mr. Mai is thinking about the problem, it is a very important matter. By the way, what were you talking about?"
"About the Festival de Cannes ......"
Just when Xiao Xiaoxing and Ye Chu were communicating in a whisper, the speed of Mai Xiaoyu's index finger gradually accelerated, turning faster and faster. After Xiao Xing figured out what was going on from Ye Chu's mouth, Mai Xiaoyu slapped the table and opened his eyes.
"Cannes!" (To be continued.) )
