Chapter 224: Warming Up

Cheng Ying originally held stacks of brochures and distributed them everywhere, some would ask a few words, and most of them would ignore them.

At a glance, she is an oriental face, first of all, she is a little shorter, the share of Asian films in the world is not too small, but it is definitely not large, and the film companies in many countries are not interested.

When she was almost finished, she finally met a few tall white people, read the booklet, and unexpectedly stopped to talk. After Cheng Ying knew that they were Norwegians, she instantly converted into Norwegian and began to barabala, which scared foreigners. Sisters, do you know such an unpopular language?

But inadvertently a lot more friendly, Miss Cheng did her best to promote her own movies, what female consciousness, what aesthetic lingering*, what human conflicts and marginal love, etc.

Foreigners actually don't care much about these, they are already very interested just by seeing the word "GAY" on Chiguoguo.

The market share of literary films in the local market is naturally clear to film dealers in various countries, but GAY films are a very special branch. It's true that most people don't go to see a gay movie, but the audience base for this genre is often fixed and considerable.

As long as the shooting is not too bad, you can make a small profit while ensuring the return on investment. "This Summer" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, which obviously met the criteria.

What's more, it's Norway, a paradise for GAYs.

Chu Qing listened to Cheng Ying in a daze, and felt in a trance, and then he was empowered: It turns out that you are the one who is open, and the fortune value is A+, which is proper.

"How much do those guys give?" He asked.

"For 60,000 US dollars, we want to buy out the distribution rights of our country, including theaters, discs and new media, and we don't have any dividends."

"Why didn't he rob it!"

Ya immediately stumbled, because I had consulted Reisan and Ichikawa Shozo early: 50,000 US dollars, which is the lowest level of international film transaction amount, everyone knows it. They now give sixty thousand, albeit a little colder. At least it's still within the rules, but if it's less than 50,000, it's a slap in the face.

"You're stupid!" Miss Cheng said disdainfully, "They only gave 50,000 at first, and I said that we were entries, so I reluctantly mentioned 10,000." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

He licked his lips, he was more depressed, he wanted her to push it away, but he was slightly reluctant.

It's not that foreigners deliberately lower prices, but that Norway has a population of only a few million. The film market is so small, and you have to pay a lot of money to death.

"I'll discuss it with Li Yu, you continue to set porcelain with them, and see if you can add more."

Chu Qing thought about it, decisively sold Miss Cheng, and then wiped himself to find Li Yu.

"Sixty thousand? Yes! It's also 400,000 yuan in RMB! ”

He was going to look for support, but this crazy woman was a stick on the head, and he was quite honored, and said helplessly: "Sixty thousand is the lowest." Our film isn't that bad yet. ”

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!" Li Yucai didn't care about that, and asked: "Then you mean, wait until you get a prize and then sell it?" ”

"I'm really going to win the prize, and it's okay to sell it to other countries. The Norwegians can't, they really can't afford to spend it. ”

"Isn't that enough, still tangled in a fart?"

Li Yu patted the table and said surely: "Sell!" It's a good start! ”

In a word. With the lucky bonus of Miss Cheng, they finalized the first contract.

It's a pity that those Nordic guys bite the price and refuse to let go. It was still sold for 60,000. However, this undoubtedly boosted Li Yu's confidence, and his state exploded directly, and he almost grabbed it after playing a chicken-blooded platform for publicity.

Not to mention the eight giants of Hollywood, or the new generation of Lionsgate, and even the transaction volume of sub-studios such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan is calculated in tens of millions or even more than 100 million.

Their small $60,000 is a shame to pull it down.

Li Yu said that the start was good, and it was really a pole FLAG, except for this business, no one came to patronize it all morning. At most, he poked in front of the stage to watch the trailer, and commented on the appearance of the three heroines.

Chu Qing is not in a hurry, this is normal! The small filmmaker is staring at the newcomer everywhere to pick up leaks, and if it is a little like a point, no one is allowed to observe it for two days first.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and Li Yu wanted to let him go to dinner for a while.

Back at the hotel, Fan Xiaoye and Zhang Jingchu also did a good job of basic styling, looking more fashionable, but their faces were immature, and their temperament still needed to be precipitated.

Well, it's probably Cheng dΓΉ who was upgraded from Chai Heniu to Village Flower.

As for the booth, it was completely empty, and the girls had to be interviewed by Yuan Lei in the afternoon, and they didn't have time to take care of it. There is no way, there are too few people, especially Chu Qing, who has to be busy with the work of three families:

the schedule of "This Summer", as well as the confirmation of the official press conference;

the entry process and screening plan of "Anyang Baby";

There is also a series of promotional activities for "Blue Universe";

Taking advantage of the free noon, Chu Qing made an appointment with Guan Jinpeng for dinner, and ran out to eat Xiaozao with his girlfriend in a hurry. Of course, he has a purpose, and the "Hong Kong Night" promotion party will be opened in a few days, and he wants to mix two tickets to go in for the girl.

Ah Guan has a clear mind about this product, and he is happy to do a favor with his hands. But he has reservations about whether Fan Xiaoye can develop in Hong Kong, without it, without characteristics.

If Hong Kong actresses want to become popular, unless they are as talented as Qingxia, Manyu, Zu Xian, and Chu Hong, there are only two ways left: either take off their clothes, such as Qiu Shuzhen; Or light up your fists, like Michelle Yeoh.

Just by having a beautiful face, hehe, there are more beauties in Hong Kong, and Fan Xiaoye is not enough.

Pierre Riesian said: "The most important film festival in the world has always been Cannes, and it is even more important than all the film festivals in the world combined." ”

It's not that the French are arrogant, but its influence is. The good weather in this small seaside town is enough for celebrities to wear thin, revealing and transparent evening dresses and appear on the red carpet, cocktail parties, and large and small parties.

Based on this alone, Berlin, which is more than 10 degrees Celsius below zero, is already OUT.

Cannes is not only the creator of the red carpet, but also the inheritance and maintenance of red carpet culture. All the celebrities have to be dressed in formal attire, and even the reporters standing on both sides must wear suits and bow ties.

The hustle and bustle is boiling, gorgeous and impetuous, and full of public interest...... This is the film festival after the film is removed.

On the 9th, at 7 o'clock in the evening, the 54th Cannes International Film Festival opened.

This year's organizing committee was a bit crippled: Antonio Banderas was absent from the press conference, Bill Clinton didn't show up at all, Martin Scorsese missed his flight, and even Jack Nicholson, who swore by him, was particularly tight......

Nervous hammer! The organizing committee really wants to beat up.

The most bitter thing is the fans, Baba is crowded on both sides and waiting to worship, but the result is ruined, what about the big star? Of course, there are Godard, Coppola Sr., David Lynch, Belmondo and other big names, but I know you are a bird!

In this case, Nicole Kidman, who had just divorced Tom, became the only seedling among the old men. And the opening film is her "Moulin Rouge", and the organizer also gave enough face and appeared in the middle of the most attention.

"Nicole! Nicole! ”

The sleepy fans in front of them were instantly excited and began to shout, while the reporters calmly showed off their flashing lights.

The single woman was really in good spirits, and Kidman paced leisurely, stood still, took pictures, and picked a few lucky people to shake their hands from time to time, each movement would attract bursts of screams.

"When will I be like her."

Fan Xiaoye, who was waiting in the lounge, secretly glanced at the others, his face full of longing.

She and Zhang Jingchu were regular dresses of one white and one pink, and Chu Qing was still wearing the same old suit and bow tie. They were arranged in the second half, in a more bleak order, and Shu Qi and Hou Xiaoxian, who are also Chinese filmmakers, have already completed the red carpet.

"Tsk, you'll be much more sensational than her in the future."

Chu Qing pinched her face and spit out a groove that only she understood.

"Don't make a fuss!"

She twisted her neck and hummed, but her boyfriend turned her head and told her seriously: "When it goes up, pay attention to the people in front, don't be too fast, don't be too slow." Don't stop too long in the middle, pose less, and keep walking for two seconds. ”

"Why, I want them to take a few more photos!" She was puzzled.

"Because the foreigner's camera is not aimed at you at all." He shrugged and poured a large basin of cold water.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Fan Xiaoye is extremely unhappy, even if it is the truth, do you want to be so direct?

Chu Qing ignored her, turned her head and asked Zhang Jingchu again: "How is it, are you nervous?" ”

"Well, sort of."

"Then take a deep breath, take a deep breath, I taught you."

The girl curled the corners of her mouth and tried to do it a few times. Maybe it's a psychological effect, or maybe this person is by the side, and it really relaxes a lot.

Everyone waited for a while, and after the previous high-rise and tide, it was finally their turn to be garbage time.

Among the two heroines, Chu Qing and Li Yu are on both sides, and as for Cheng Ying, she has already mixed into the movie palace with the sign of the translator.

He expected it better, but as soon as Fan Xiaoye, who had to be sèse, appeared, he suddenly stiffened when he saw the flashy momentum in the sky. was stunned at the beginning of the red carpet, unable to take a step, and there was a shining void light in front of him.

"Pig, you! Follow me! ”

Her head was blank, and she felt her right hand sink slightly, and she heard a familiar taunt again. Immediately driven by the other party's strength, he unconsciously moved his foot.

"You're a pig!"

The girl retorted softly, quickly straightened her feelings, and held her boyfriend's hand tightly.

The truth is cruel, so as Chu Qing said, those foreign reporters look at Asians, not Gong Li, Chen Chong, Maggie Cheung, these coffees, they are not interested in the slightest.

I took a casual shot to cope with the errand, and then I made a unified action: put down the camera, look up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle......

Well, Fan Xiaoye was really shocked, and he was so depressed that he couldn't show it on his face. Several people glanced at each other, simply stopped, and walked directly across the red carpet.

(And ...... (To be continued......)
