Although Li Xuechu, who came from later generations, knew that the Venice Film Festival was one of the three major film festivals in Europe, he would not be bad. But the other two are the most familiar to Chinese people in later generations: the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, which are said to be the ancestors of the world's film festivals, but have a weak sense of zài. And the most sought after is of course the Oscar.

But now, this film festival is the No1 in Europe, and the other two have no influence in later generations.

The festival, which lasted for more than ten days, finally ushered in an exciting award ceremony. On this night, Li Xuechu really realized the influence of the film festival, and the media gathered from all over Europe, and the swarming of European superstars and well-known directors made the original otaku feel some pressure. Although almost none of these celebrity directors Li Xuechu knew him, a sense of superiority still came to his face.

Different from the warm reception they received when they came, now a few of their Chinese people suddenly lost their attention in front of the European and American stars, and there was no media from Xiangjiang or other Chinese-speaking circles at the scene, and several people became passers-by.

But in the process of the awards party, several people still received the attention of the European media. The reason is very simple, the soul catcher won the Silver Lion Award, which was a small upset at the Venice Film Festival. Although it is not the Golden Lion Award, it also makes Xu Anhua, a famous female director in the Chinese-speaking circle in the future, inexplicably excited. The guests present also gave warm applause to the Chinese director who won the Venice Film Awards. It seems that the original historical Chinese won this award a few years later Taiwanese, right? Before you know it, history has been rewritten again. This is a small victory for Oriental DreamWorks and Xiangjiang Films, and the employees who came to the film festival and Lin Yujia, who accompanied Li Xuechu, were all excited. Of course, Li Xuechu and Ye Zhiming are also satisfied, the movie has won an award, and the selling price is even better.

What surprised Li Xuechu a little was that the Golden Lion Award did not have the best editing, best screenplay, best soundtrack or anything, this is the stage for directors and actors, I don't know if this will be the case in later generations.

The Golden Lion was removed by 'German Sisters', a film that Li Xuechu had never heard of. But literary films are like this, and there is a lack of interest in literary and artistic films in their own countries, let alone foreigners. In this regard, the art film festival has a natural weakness compared with the Oscars, and no matter how much it is exhibited, it will not have the influence of anyone's family, and it is not grounded.

Three days after the awards, the most lively and copper-smelling period began: the final negotiations between the filmmakers and the producers. The producers of films that have a chance to win awards all want to get awards to increase the selling price of films, and the film companies are also doing a final wait-and-see, if they can't negotiate in these three days, there will be trouble later.

And the final buyout price of these films made Li Xuechu's original feeling of the film festival 1o down in an instant. What's the price? 500,000 300,000, and the final selling price of the works that won the Golden Lion Award was less than 2 million. The price that I originally disliked was actually quite high? Dozens of literary films add up to less than a Hollywood commercial blockbuster. Li Xuechu can't understand the Europeans anymore, it seems that art films are so unmarketable, why do they hold on to it, and in later generations, Europe has become the backyard of Hollywood, and I haven't seen them wake up much.

And the two films with the highest selling prices this year are Li Xuechu's two films that were not qualified for screening by the organizing committee and were pulled to the peripheral rented venues for screening: Killer Leon and Black Man.

Black Man was bought out of European screening by a British film company for 3 million US dollars, because the Xiangjiang action film in his previous life did not achieve too high a box office in Europe, Li Xuechu agreed, this one can be regarded as cultivating the market. And the British immediately proposed a buyout of the soul catcher: 700,000 US dollars, Li Xuechu, who lacked confidence in literary films, was also moved, and Ye Zhiming cut the price to 850,000 yuan and then sold it.

And when selling the killer Leon entrusted by Golden Harvest, several people met their old German friend Wu Company, 1.9 million US dollars plus 15% of the box office share, and one-third of the publicity costs, 100,000 more than the previous two films. Home Alone got nearly $70 million in European screenings, making the Germans a lot of money, and the price this time was extraordinarily generous.

Two commercial films slapped literary films in the face under the nose of the Art Film Festival, Li Xuechu and others withdrew a day in advance, I don't know if they will come in the future, or if anyone will follow the example of bringing Hollywood movies to people's doorsteps and slap them in the face. But the control will be tighter in the future, right? Speaking of which, comparing literary films and commercial films with the box office is too bullying.

On the way home, she may have been quite satisfied with Li Xuechu's appearance, and Wu's mother's expression eased a lot, and she no longer looked like an aunt of a state-owned enterprise salesperson. But despite this, it is necessary to avoid them on the plane. During the journey, Li Xuechu dug through the hollow and rummaged through the Internet jokes of later generations to make the beautiful woman laugh. Although there have been a lot of jokes in the course of previous interactions, fortunately, Li Xuechu's 'knowledge reserve' is large, and there are still many topics to talk about. When Li Xuechu looked at the giggling beauty proudly, he didn't know that there was a small audience behind him.

"No wonder my sister is so confused by this product, it's really a little crooked." Lin Wenzhi listened carefully to the episodes with two eyes, and secretly remembered that this is a secret skill for picking up girls, and it will always be used in the future.

I felt that I had gained a lot, and several people in the company also let go of the pressure, and they talked and laughed. On the way back, there was more laughter than when I came.

Back in Xiangjiang, Li Xuechu and others were warmly received by the media, and as soon as they got off the plane, they were immediately surrounded by reporters from all walks of life.

Although it was refreshing at first, I felt the inconvenience later. Li Xuechu complained: "When you leave, you are quiet, how can you meet so many reporters when you come back?" ”

"Hehehe, isn't it because of the award?" Ye Zhiming was in a very good mood: "The Venice Film Festival is the top in the world, and the award we won there can be said to have greatly boosted the ambition of Xiangjiang films, and now no one dares to underestimate our Oriental DreamWorks in the Xiangjiang film circle." ”

Li Xuechu rolled his eyes: "We have all released three blockbuster movies, is anyone still underestimating?" ”

"But this is the first time I have won an award, and it is an international award."

This is also a good thing, but after a trip to the palace of art films, Li Xuechu felt the most about the weakness of literary films. It is said that Europeans have a lot of literary and artistic feelings, but it is Hollywood commercial films that dominate the box office, and the prices offered by film manufacturers are very revealing.

The biggest gain for him is that the three movies have been sold at a good price, and the selling price of all the movies is out of the production cost, and the black hero has earned more than three times the profit, of course, this is also the foreigner does not know the production cost of Xiangjiang movies, but as long as they make money, their price will be reasonable and even higher in the future. If you can't make money, you will be disliked for nothing, and publicity and release also cost money, and there will be many movies every year that you can't get the release qualifications.

With the soul catcher winning the Silver Lion Award and being exposed by the media, Oriental DreamWorks, Xu Anhua, Leung Jiahui, etc. have been mentioned more and more times in the newspaper. This is another person who has been changed by the butterfly effect, and Leung Jiahui, who was banned by Taiwan after winning the actor for the burning of the Old Summer Palace two years later, I don't know how it will be done now? It is likely that in the future, this co-production directed by Li Hanxiang will change the protagonist, and Leung Jiahui may escape the tragic situation of being banned for several years, but I don't know who he will be replaced in the future.

And Black Hero, who set the second highest price for the buyout price with 3 million US dollars, and Killer Leon, who also looks good, have also been widely praised by the media, but unfortunately these two have been taken off the shelves, otherwise they may be able to take advantage of this good news to collect tens of millions of extra box office. However, Soul Catcher was given a chance to promote it for free, and now many people want to see what this Silver Lion Award-winning work looks like. Under this good news, Li Xuechu decided not to hold a midnight preview screening and release it directly on September 14. Compared with other ** trendy directors, Xu Anhua's several literary and artistic movies are okay at the box office, and this work that has returned with praise will probably be no exception.
