The second shift has arrived, woo, Xiao Ai is sleeping! Ask for a referral ticket!

――

"I can't wait to hear the good news."

Wen Ziren, who was on the side, heard Chen Tian's tone, and directly pointed at Chen Tian.

"I think you've probably heard of the New York Film Festival, and you should know that the festival is all about awarding awards and providing a marketplace for film deals.

But there is a difference, some only accept premiere films, others do not have this restriction, as long as the entry requirements are met, while Cannes and Venice only accept films that premiere there, while New York is no different. ”

"You recommended me to the New York Film Festival?" Chen Tian didn't think that this was possible.

He naturally knows how helpful it is to participate in a film festival, let alone win an award.

But now Chen Tian's photographs of whether they are buried alive or sunny little beauties, including Wen Ziren's Super Burger King, have given up on this path.

It's not that Chen Tian doesn't want to rely on the film festival to further build his fame, but because to participate in the film festival, you generally need to register three or four months or even half a year in advance.

Advance registration is required for each year's film at the St. Denis Film Festival, which usually falls in September.

For Chen Tian, who urgently needs to quickly turn the film into box office revenue, going to the film festival is undoubtedly not a good choice.

"Yes, the New York Film Festival, to be honest, the registration date has long passed, but I thought of your little sunny beauty, and then I asked my friend.

But this is not to say that your work will definitely be on it, it is best to edit the Sunshine Little Beauty according to the registration requirements of the New York Film Festival within two days, and then I will hand it over for you.

My friend promised me that if it was good, he could even make you the opening film of this year's New York Film Festival. ”

"Opening video?" Chen Tian gasped, he didn't expect MGM to give him such great support.

The opening films of a film festival are often carefully selected, and some even invite a good film to premiere.

In an international ultra-high-profile film festival like the New York Film Festival, the opening films are often super directors or works that may impact the Oscars, Chen Tian never thought that this opportunity would come so quickly.

"Yes, it's the opening film, but Justin, you have to understand that it's based on your work being able to move them, otherwise it's hard to do it with just me and MGM, and they want to be influential."

"I understand this, no matter how thank you for providing such an opportunity, although the time is a little rushed, I will do my best to make it, even if I don't sleep for the next 48 hours."

Chen Tian knew that MGM would definitely not help him with such a big opportunity, and if the Sunshine Little Beauty was really selected, even if it was not the opening film but a competition film, it would be enough to bring more attention.

"Time is indeed a bit rushed, after all, the New York Film Festival will open on the 27th of the end of the month.

Justin, don't work too hard, the body is the first thing, it's too late for me to see if I can make an exception for the Tokyo Film Festival quietly, but the Japanese are not easy to talk to, so I can only try.

But if you're not in a hurry to arrange a release for Little Sunshine Beauty, I can help you register for the Berlinale in February or Cannes in May. ”

"It's too troublesome, I'll do my best, I really can't help but regret missing it, I want this film to be released on the Christmas schedule, so the time is very tight."

"No problem, if you need help, you can find me, I will definitely help if I can help, don't bother you, look forward to your good news."

Before he could reply, there was a beep on the other end of the phone.

Looking at the blackberry in his hand, Chen Tian couldn't help but laugh, he never imagined that he would be so valued by MGM.

Although Chen Tian knew that MGM was acquired by Sony, he didn't know that there were rumors within MGM at this time, and it would enter a state of negotiation from January next year.

MGM's current film plans have been scheduled for next summer, but MGM has no confidence in these films.

Eric Lomis, in such a situation, simply gambled, and if he could succeed, he believed that even if MGM was acquired, he would be reused.

Even if it fails, it is not a big deal, because Chen Tian's films were all invested and filmed by himself, and they did not consume even a penny from MGM's account.

Wen Ziren looked at Chen Tian who was smiling: "Liongate's call, they agreed?" ”

"No, it's not Lionsgate, it's from MGM."

"What? MGM? ”

"Yes, MGM, they recommended that I go to the New York Film Festival, but I need to finish the editing and soundtrack in these two days, and if I get it, it will probably be the opening film of this year's New York Film Festival."

"The opening film? The New York Film Festival is about to start in 20 days, you didn't sign up, and you agreed to work with MGM? ”

Chen Tian shrugged: "No, they found me, I was also surprised, I promised to give them samples when the time comes, that's all, I didn't expect them to give me such a chance." ”

"MGM really values you, but it's too much for two days, but fortunately, the special effects don't just need to be edited and soundtracked, so you might be able to catch up with it."

Wen Ziren is right, if you need a lot of animation effects like Super Burger King, it is impossible to complete it in two days.

"I had to stay up late, and I had decided to spend the next 48 hours in the editing room."

The traffic in the distance has begun to slow down, and it looks like the road has been cleared again.

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to Chriss, it's bad luck to have a friend like you." Wen Ziren opened the car door and got in.

Chen Tian laughed: "I didn't offer to ask you to help, you are willing."

An hour later, the car stopped at the post-production company where the Sunshine Little Beauty was located, Angel Pictures.

This is a very small film production company, and Chen Tian did not use the other party's personnel, but only rented the corresponding equipment.

"Martin, can you accept overtime? Now we need to finish all the post-production zuò in two days. Chen Tian asked, looking at editor Parma Martin.

"Two days?" Palma Martin took off his headphones, "Justin, this is too rushed, it's hard to complete, and tomorrow is my 10th wedding anniversary, and I was supposed to take time off, so I'm sorry." ”

"Okay, you go back and prepare now, the anniversary is a big event, I don't want to be hunted down by Chrissy, just leave it to me here, don't forget to send me blessings."

"Thank you! I'll get there. ”

Watching Parma Martin leave, Chen Tian wanted to cry without tears, although he could also edit and was trained by burying Guò alive, but it was much more complicated than burying the little beauty alive.

The length of the film after being buried alive was only 120 minutes, and Chen Tian and Wen Ziren only needed to edit 120 minutes into 90 minutes.

Buried alive is a special case in the film, and the film of a normal film will be about 20 hours, and some blockbusters may reach hundreds of hours.

And the Little Sunshine Beauty film is already very good, only 6 hours, but just because he and Wen Ziren, two people who are not professional editors, want to edit 6 hours of film into 100 minutes in two days.

It's almost an impossible task, but Chen Tian can't help but let Palma Martin and his wife celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary.

"Start work immediately, do as much as you can."

Chen Tian breathed a sigh of relief, if he didn't fight, it meant giving up, and he didn't want to miss the great opportunity of the New York Film Festival.

Scarlett, who is in the water city of Venice, also received the news in advance that she will win the New Actress Award, and also received a script from Woody Allen, and she picked up the phone to share her joy with Chen Tian.
