"Toronto International Film Festival?"

When Chen Xi said this name, although there were many people in the middle who felt that it was a good choice, at the same time, there were also many people who felt that it was not a good choice, and their reasons were relatively sufficient, although the main reasons were two points, but these two points were very convincing.

These two reasons, the first point is that I think the Toronto International Film Festival is a fairly influential film festival, any Chinese film, well, can barely be regarded as an American film, it is really not easy to participate and get influence, not to mention, although many film styles of the Toronto International Film Festival are still strange, but this is a film festival after all, and a purely violent and bloody film like "The Raid" wants to be praised by everyone in it, which is even less likely.

The second is that I feel that the Toronto International Film Festival is a little inappropriate in terms of timing, because the movie "Raid" has now been made, and it should have been released according to the efficiency arrangement of a film work before "Deep Space Film and Television...... But the movie hasn't been released yet.

The Toronto International Film Festival will not officially start until September, and if the film is released after this film festival, there will be a lot of problems in the middle, and the film will drag on a little bit.

Of course, from a practical point of view, this is not a problem, because the films of other film companies basically only start to be released after about a year of filming, at least there will be an interval of eight or nine months in between.

"The Raid" was officially screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and received some response, which is exactly what Chen Xi is pursuing now.

However, there are actually many small film festivals interspersed in the middle, but Chen Xi feels that these film festivals are a bit too small, and it is very likely that the gains outweigh the losses, because if you want to get some rankings in the film festivals, especially for movies like "Raid", it is still relatively difficult, and public relations is definitely needed, but public relations requires a lot of resources......

Therefore, at the average small film festival, if you can do it, you can choose to let "The Raid" go over to increase its popularity and exposure, but it is almost enough. Doing more will divide their energy and resources, and it will also increase the pressure on them at the Venice Film Festival, so what they are doing now is also carefully considered.

"Have you already decided?" At this time, Ou Yangzhi asked Chen Xi directly.

Chen Xi nodded: "This is my decision, other film festivals can be taken into account, but we don't need to invest too much time and energy, we will put more important things on the Venice Film Festival, public relations and registration or something, you can start from now on, Lao Ou, you have to communicate well with Xiguang and their gang." ”

"Okay, I got it!" Ou Yangzhi nodded, Chen Xi's words let him know what to do next, in fact, no one objected to Chen Xi's idea, but everyone was a little worried that this idea would make a film a little difficult to do, but now that Chen Xi has spoken, then everyone can do what he says, and there should be no problems.

"Xiangjiang Film Company does have more channels, but we can consider poaching people from their side!" Chen Xi once again began his own thoughts: "Even if we pay some more money, we don't hesitate, but now we have to do some things well, first worthy of people to come, the company this time, and the United States side of the cooperation, is actually an opportunity for us, my plan is to hope that everyone can take such an opportunity to really push out some of our things, but also let us grow, the main thing is to hope that everyone can gradually learn some ways to distribute the film overseas in this process." ”

In fact, Chinese films still have a certain audience in the world, well, even if you don't mention the possible curiosity or liking of pure foreigners for Chinese movies and Chinese culture, then at least, there are still 40 or 50 million overseas Chinese in the world! Of course, this is also the main consumer group of Chinese films.

It's like saying that Indian films gradually have some box office in the United States, although in the top few of the total box office list of overseas films in the North American film market, Indian films should not have a chance to overturn the position of Chinese films, but their share in the middle and lower markets, their share is getting higher and higher, and the total box office of each of their films may not be too high, but many of their films can get the box office that Chinese films can't get at all, and little by little they will accumulate it, and the North American box office results will be very good in a year.

And Indian films, in the United States, most of the people who watch them are people of Indian origin, and the proportion of real Americans is not high.

Of course, this is just an argument from the side, in fact, the market that Chinese films opened up in the world with one punch and one kick back then will not leave nothing lightly, Chen Xi and they still have to try their best to continue the influence of Chinese films, which is not only a strategic plan for Chen Xi's future goals, but also a kind of profitability radiation.

There are still many film talents in Xiangjiang, and because of the depression of the film industry in Xiangjiang, although many people go north to the mainland, there are also many people who are discouraged, or have always insisted on where they were, Chen Xi did see a lot of film talents when filming "Raid", and he also remembered that let people get in touch slowly, and now it is almost time to cut the wheat, Chen Xi's attitude is that it is very important to get these film talents, and the price paid, even if it is a premium, as long as the range is not too high, you can pay.

This does increase the financial burden on the company, but it is more than the talent that can be obtained...... Chen Xi felt that this qiē was worth it.

In fact, there are many talents in Deep Space Film and Television that are constantly growing, and they are gradually hoarding a group of talents, and then the film company will grow, and these things will become more important.

But Chen regrets that they are still very short of real good talents, especially in overseas distribution, which is definitely a shortcoming, and it is not easy to do this aspect: even a large company like Huayi is constantly expanding its territory, but what about the overseas distribution of their company's films? It's not that I can't do it all the time! You can imagine how difficult this is.

Of course, Chen Xi felt that the reason why it was difficult for Huayi to do this thing was still at the root: there was a problem with the content!

Huayi's movies are indeed difficult to have the kind of ...... that can also have a high degree of attention overseas Such a movie is too rare, and many things, if there are no real materials, just rely on shouting from the sky, it is difficult to get a really enough return, so Chen Xi feels that if he can ensure the content, he can still make it slowly.

As for the content...... That is, step by step, starting from "Raid", and gradually establishing some influence overseas, which also provides more requirements for the next work arrangement, "Raid" is even if the movie is released, but everyone has to convert to the attention of Chen Xi, the director, and it is still worldwide, it will take a long process, and it will be great to be able to see the results by the end of this year.

However, as long as Chen Xi has popularity here, he will be able to use the exquisite Hollywood movies in Guò's head in the future to slowly realize the expansion of the film territory and export-oriented output.

"Okay, there's a work schedule for "The Raid", so that's it for now." After arranging the general details such as the promotion of "The Raid", Chen Xi now put together the materials and said to everyone: "I'll tell you about my new movie idea next!" There is also the planning of the movie. ”

When Chen Xi said this, Xiao Ling sent the film information in his hand to everyone, this is the film planning made by Chen Xi, including story synopsis, market analysis and other things, these are all made by Chen Xi himself, and he still maintains this habit of doing some practical things by himself.

Soon, everyone saw the plan.

Chen Xi usually doesn't say anything about it for the time being before he really makes the plan take shape, but in fact, it's not that he intends to sell Guanzi, because there is no need to sell Guanzi with the company's own people. Chen Xi just has a movie in his head, so he makes a plan quickly, so he doesn't need to say hello in advance.

"Another kung fu movie?!"

"Martial arts films! Sort of! ”

"Looks pretty good!"

…… Everyone's discussion gradually began, and Chen Xi waited for their answers.

After a few moments, more people began to ask the question.

"Director Chen, this book ...... There is a trend of decline in martial arts films now, and it feels a little ...... to catch up now Well, in short, I just feel a little out of place. Someone just said that.

Chen Xi smiled: "Actually, we don't really achieve the ultimate genre film, many things are relative, so a movie, no matter what genre, as long as it can really have some points that can satisfy the audience and meet the standards of red films, then the box office of this movie will be good......"

This makes more sense, China really doesn't really have a genre film that does the ultimate, which Chen Xi is right.

"This is the first time we've filmed a costume drama! Is this to prepare for foreign markets? Someone else said.

"Well, the movie also has overseas market considerations, but that will have to wait until after "The Raid" to talk about this!" Chen Xi said: "Now we are mainly discussing from the film itself, and don't jump directly to the market part. ”

At this moment, many people have begun to shift their attention. R1152
