It's still cold in Rotterdam and the Maas River is still clear, reflecting the wacky Wilhelmsberg cable-stayed bridge. The waterfowl that woke up in the morning fluttered their wings and flapped, fluttering the smell of the sea in the air, and squinting at the still sleeping ships below. The city is lazy, with fewer pedestrians on the streets and the occasional quiet car passing by.

This is a hotel behind the Central Station, which claims to be of a high class, but the facilities are simple and scary. The room is surprisingly small, with a desk, a single bed, a wardrobe and a poor TV hanging on the wall, about 14 inches in size.

The brightest thing is the large glass window that occupies half of the wall, even if the curtains are drawn, it can't hide the increasingly dense golden light from penetrating from the outside, and the room is slowly bright.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

"Ding, ding, ding!"

A crisp sound woke Chu Qing up, and he was in a trance, stretched his waist hard, and rubbed his tight dough again. He hadn't completely reversed the jet lag, and he was uncomfortable, so he looked at the time, it was early, but he couldn't sleep.

This room faces the street, the location is very bad, the price is much cheaper, usually the private car is fine, the fear is the tram, the tinkling is endless.

Yesterday afternoon, when the two of them arrived in Rotterdam, they wanted to live in the pencil holder tower last time, but they turned yellow. Chu Qing pretended to be very familiar, but in fact, he knew a few fixed places, and he immediately covered the circle when he came out of this range. Fortunately, thanks to Cheng Ying, she stayed in France for a long time as an exchange student when she was studying, and her living ability was not a problem at all.

Because this trip is at his own expense, if it were himself, he would naturally be able to save money, but now he is taking the little girl, and he will be too careless to pick and choose, and he is not out of money...... So, this product took the initiative to live in a mansion to eat a big meal, and I consumed everything I bought to play. A sè sè local tyrant sex.

As for Cheng Ying, after all, she is the daughter of Old Man Cheng, who is cheap-mouthed and kind-hearted, and she is reluctant to slaughter him, so she picks a hotel casually. The head of the card is quite big, and it is said to be four-star, but what does it look like inside, who doesn't know who?

After lying down for a while, Chu Qing finally got up, got dressed and opened the curtains. "Bang", the sun is dazzling, and the world is transparent.

Outside the window is facing an old tree, I don't know what variety, it doesn't lose green in winter, and the branches and leaves are dense. When I looked up, I saw the lawn in the middle of the street, and the silver light shone in the middle of the clusters, which was the damned tram tracks.

There was no rush to go out. I called Cheng Ying first, and after making sure she was freshened up, she gathered together and went downstairs. This is not far from HBF's office, about a 20-minute walk. Both of them were not used to eating the local breakfast, so they bought some bread and drinks at the roadside shop.

Chu Qing had already told her that the purpose of this trip was to get Ge Wen's recommendation and directly enter the main competition unit of the Rotterdam Film Festival. It's two months before the festival opens. It is the key stage for film selectors to fish for a large number of films, and then concentrate on screening.

I guess there is no problem, "This Summer" was filmed with HBF funds. This trip was like going back to my parents' home. As for whether he can win the award, well, he is still quite confident in the film.

Cheng Ying said that he understood, and told him to believe in his communication skills, which were absolutely smooth and transparent without urine spots. However, she also has questions, there are so many influential film festivals in the world, why does Mao have to come to Rotterdam?

Chu Qing shrugged, I want to go to Cannes and Berlin, who do I know?

Well, Ichikawa Shozo is actually a thick enough thigh to hug properly, but the two have no real reciprocal relationship. He is willing to praise Lao Jia, it is a work of "Platform" that has Japanese capital injection and belongs to his own company, so he works hard. If you change someone else, you will be an intermediary, and the draw will be too ruthless, and you won't make any money at all.

Yes, his love of movies does not hinder his professional ethics as a businessman.

……

"Bang!"

With the sound of a gunshot, Fan Xiaoye's white and tender face trembled suddenly, blood splashed from the position of his temple, and instantly sprayed half of his face, and suddenly like a full branch of broken plums were gathered into the snow, fainting Hongyan.

Then, she fell to the ground, cleanly, without the old-fashioned slow-motion abuse, deliberately exaggerating the atmosphere of sadness and sorrow.

At the same time, Dou Wei's own music sounded, which, according to him, belonged to art rock, that is, fragments of classical music were quoted in rock music, and then mixed together.

Chu Qing and Li Yu don't understand either, anyway, it just sounds good, with a unique decadent and decaying cocktail taste, which is very compatible with the movie style.

The picture has been frozen, with rows and rows of credits, and Gwen is still staring at the screen with his right hand on his cheek.

Cheng Ying blinked her eyes and called softly, "Mr. Ge Wen? ”

"Oh, I'm sorry."

The foreigner came back to his senses, slapped his face, and sighed: "Chu, I'm so surprised that you can actually make such a movie." ”

"Well, I'm a producer." Chu Qing hurriedly said.

"You don't have to be modest, I can see that you definitely put a lot of effort into this movie." The foreigner looked very excited and said, "You have memorized and fulfilled everything I told you, which makes me the happiest." ”

"Of course, the picture, the sound, the subtitles, and the rhythm are four, simple, remember." He laughed.

Ge Wen spread his hand and said helplessly: "Oh no, no, it's not that easy, I've told many filmmakers similar things, only you have done it." Maybe they need to maintain their own style, maybe they think I'm not right, but, um, you know, if you want to get more attention and market for your films, these basic things have to be strengthened. ”

"He praised you, saying that others have no heart and lungs, so you give him face, very good." Cheng Ying was reluctant to translate so long, and directly converted it into the vernacular.

Chu Qing twitched the corner of his eyes, eldest sister, are you too lazy to do this, and said, "Then you ask him, I think there are still any shortcomings in the film." ”

"Well, I think ......"

Ge Wenmo rubbed his chin, and after a while, Fang said: "The content is still superficial, the logic is not very reasonable, and those few turns seem very blunt." Like the one who, the one who sings. ”

"Junjun." Cheng Ying continued.

"Oh yes, she told the story of her father and it was a bit abrupt, and the foreshadowing was not foreshadowed at all."

Chu Qing licked his lips, but he was speechless, what people said made sense, or he didn't cultivate enough, thought about it, and said, "Then do you think this film is qualified for the exhibition?" ”

Ge Wen understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "I can't guarantee anything else, it should be no problem to be shortlisted for the main competition unit, at least I like this movie very much." But ......"

He changed his voice and asked, "I have to figure out one thing first, Chu, do you want to come to the film festival or the film market?" ”

"Isn't that a different thing?" Chu Qing was stunned by the question, and paused for a moment before answering.

"No, no, it's two different things."

Ge Wen waved his hand and said, "Participating in the film festival is to award awards and increase exposure. Participating in the film market, purely to find distributors, is business. If you want to go to the Rotterdam Film Festival, of course I welcome it, but I have to point out that the Rotterdam platform has nothing to do with the film market, and there are very, very few studios that come here every year, and most of them are Nordic companies, and the distribution capacity is very limited, so you don't have to get your hopes up. ”

"But, didn't Lou Ye just sell it?" He was puzzled.

"Hehe, then he definitely didn't tell you, he sold it through an agent of a French company."

“……”

Well, if someone wasn't there, Chu Qing just wanted to bang against the wall, he really didn't have that cell, and asked: "What is going on with the film market?" ”

Ge Wen touched his nose, and he was also more worried, daring to come out and jump out without understanding this fart, but he still said kindly: "In this way, a mature and perfect film festival is composed of three parts: the film festival, the foundation, and the film market. ”

"Cannes, for example, has Marché du Film, which is a dedicated trading platform. Domestic filmmakers look for overseas filmmakers, overseas filmmakers pick up local pearls, movies are just commodities there, bought and sold at will, and they are also commodities provided by organizations, they make rules, monopolize resources, and individuals will not have any channels for development. ”

After all, Ichikawa Shozo is a secondary distributor, and Ge Wen's words can be regarded as the substantive problem.

Chu Qing was silent for a while, and when he said it, he was still fighting the Luo Circle: Doing it alone, there was no drama at all.

He originally thought that it was too simple, to participate in a solo exhibition, win an award, and sell it for a similar price, and it would be fine. As a result, hey, he's in the wrong place!

He regretted that because of the success of "Suzhou Creek" in Rotterdam, his wife was so prone to hallucinations that he thought it was a treasure of feng shui, growing both crops and gold.

But in the end, I found that the treasure land is a treasure land, but it is a little remote, except for the ability to brush the grid, there is no benefit. It's not a place to talk about money, and the mainstream center has to rely on the three major film festivals.

He was depressed and entangled for a while, he really didn't like to ask for help, there was no way, he asked embarrassedly: "That, can you help introduce a few reliable distribution companies?" (To be continued......)
