25th, China National Convention Center. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the third day of the opening, the atmosphere of the Beijing Film Festival was approaching a high tide, and the main creators of "Speed 5", "Iron Fist" and "Kung Fu Panda 2" arrived in Beijing one after another.

Today is the press conference of "Speed 5", which is arranged in the largest auditorium. On both sides of the stage are huge posters, behind which is a large curtain, and hundreds of media and lucky fans are sitting under the stage.

The film has been scheduled, and it will be released in the United States on April 29 and in the mainland on May 12, and the warm-up time is just right.

Everyone sat idle for a while, and suddenly the lights dimmed, and a trailer was put on first. Universal attaches great importance to this event, and deliberately sold it well-behaved, adding another paragraph at the end of the trailer.

Lin Yibin, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Johnson, Jordana, Gal Gadot and other leading actors were all on camera, and each said: "Bei*Jing, we are here!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the bang-bang streamers sprayed indiscriminately, except for Johnson's inability to adjust the schedule, the above-mentioned actors appeared in turn.

"Ahhh

When one came out, he was excited, and when Chu Qing finished, the cheers and applause lasted for half a minute. These people are very angry in China, but after all, they are Hollywood stars, and there are few real fans, and all the people in Wuyang are passers-by.

"Welcome to the Fast 5 press conference, please take your seats!"

The host is still Li Kun of Beijing Station, she is a new generation of masters who are highly praised, and she sat on the side and said: "Let me ask first, are you all coming to Beijing for the first time?" ”

“……”

The crowd wearing the simultaneous translator paused for a moment, and Lin Yibin said, "No, I've been here once before, but it's changed a lot, and I'm very surprised." ”

"It's my first time and it feels amazing!" Vin Diesel Dao.

"It's my first time, and I haven't had time to feel it yet, so I'm sure I'll not be disappointed."

"Yes, the city is very beautiful and this film festival is great."

Paul Walker and Jordana were in an official tone, but Gal Gadot laughed: "I've fallen in love with this city, if possible, I want to open my little hotel here, it will be convenient in the future." ”

She is really skinny, and she hooked up with Chu Qing generously. That thing didn't bother to pay attention to it, and only cooperated with Li Kun to stir up the atmosphere, so that it would not be too cold.

The meeting lasted fifty minutes, and all the questions were decent, safe and awkwardly humorous. The professionalism of foreign friends is good, and they are smiling all the way.

After the end, Gal Gadot hung next to Chu Qing again and went to have a meal together.

And Fan Xiaoye will arrive in the evening, and the itinerary is two meetings and a premiere. The publicity of "Iron Fist" is not weak at all, and it is said that a robot model of the same height will be poked at the venue.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" is a little worse, because the dubbing is all big names, you can't let Angelina Jolie come to visit, you can only warm up with Cheng Long and Yang Ziqiong.

……

After the five places were selected, Chu Qing finally had time to go around the trading market. The Beijing Film Festival is an emerging force, and all parties are optimistic about it, and they will not invest a lot at the beginning, mainly to test the waters.

South Korea and the United States have the most booths, followed by France, Wanwan and Hong Kong, covering all links of the industrial chain.

For example, the cooperation of cinemas, film and television bases, and cultural real estate is called large-scale construction projects. French special effects company BUFF, South Korea's Dexter and Mofac have all set up investment booths, hoping that domestic filmmakers will adopt technology, which is called a film element project.

Of course, the most lively is the Sino-foreign co-production.

Hollywood, from Paramount to Summit Entertainment, from Disney to Lionsgate, has sent liaisons. In China, from Huayi to Pony Galloping, from DMG to Guangguang Media also formed a group.

Now is the stage of contact, testing, and understanding between the two sides, and then we will talk about specific cooperation. The trend is that everyone wants to share a bowl of soup to drink.

And Chu Qing took a look around and really found some problems.

For example, associations can be invited. For example, the American Film Association, the French National Film Commission, the Korean Film Promotion Committee, etc., this kind of exhibition led by the association will be more ambitious in scale and richer in content.

For example, you can start a special pitch session. Activities such as Hong Kong Night and Korea Night in Cannes have the advantage of being targeted and suitable for communication.

He recorded them one by one and presented them to the organizing committee after the preparation.

It is said that there are three modes of current Sino-US "co-productions":

First, foreign parties led the production and filmed the so-called special version, such as "Transformers 4"; the second is the Chinese-led production, inviting foreign actors to star, such as "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"; The third is the participation of foreign parties in the investment, and the content is purely Chinese-language films.

These works are rarely successful, because they are not really co-productions, and the investment, behind-the-scenes, and actors are not proportionate. After the Beijing Film Festival and Sino-US negotiations, there will soon be a fourth type: Chinese participation in investment, the content is purely foreign-language films, in order to expand channels, share accounts from it, and even invade Hollywood.

The most classic example is "Spotlight", which won the 88th Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Screenplay, and its investor is OpenRoadFilms, which belongs to Wanda.

Chu Qing is also targeting the fourth type, he doesn't need to look for it, someone takes the initiative to come to the door, one is "Moonrise Kingdom" of Focus Company, and the other is "Wallflower Boy" of Summit Entertainment.

The quality of "Moonrise Kingdom" is quite high, and it has the possibility of becoming an account-sharing film, and no matter how bad it is, it is also a batch of films. "Wallflower Boy" involves same-sex issues and will not appear in China, but cooperation, the future is the focus.

…………

In the blink of an eye, it was the 26th, in the afternoon.

Today is the day when the results of the Youth Film Project are announced, and the venue is still at the Convention Center. It started at 1 p.m., and there was a gathering two hours ago. There is no very formal packaging at the scene, and more than 20 round tables are covered with snow-white tablecloths, with wine and food, and the sound of light music, which looks relaxed and casual.

Most of the guests are Chinese, and there are occasional Western faces. The newcomers are very poor, and the cost of flying to Beijing is not trivial. In addition to the filmmakers who participated in the selection, some relatives and friends helped out, such as Zhou Gongzi, Fan Xiaoye, Gal Gadot, Xu Ke, Koslick and so on.

For this reason, two tables had to be added temporarily.

After a while, I suddenly heard the music turn, and several intense notes beat one after another. Everyone knew that it was about to begin, and they took their positions, and the photojournalist hurriedly pointed at the camera. Sure enough, the lights of the audience were brightly lit, and Chu Qing walked quickly to the stage.

He wore a suit without a bow tie and an open front to reveal a close-fitting white shirt. There are different eyes off the field, some are excited, some are expectant, some are calm, and there are big eyes that blink and wink.

"Hello everyone, and welcome to the launch of the Youth Film Project."

With a microphone pinned to his neckline, a straight figure and natural hands, he said, "I'm very happy, I've had a feeling of excitement and trepidation since this morning. 512 scripts, 34 countries of emerging filmmakers, this is perhaps the greatest and most wonderful responsibility. And now, as I stand here, I can tell you, I am glad that I have not been dishonored. ”

Chu Qing never thought that his eloquence was great, but unexpectedly, many people liked to listen to him. He has a very special convincing sense of sincerity, which is the basis for creating an infectious spirit.

He opened with a minute and a half, and then spent another minute and a half to introduce Gu Xiaowei, Xia Gang and other judges, and then went straight to the topic: "The five places in our support plan have been determined, and I will introduce them one by one, and the first part will ......"

He paused and said, ""The Trail of the Wakos", written and directed by Xu Haofeng. This is a traditional and unconventional kung fu film, and I was fortunate to see it born. ”

With a simple explanation, Xu Haofeng got up on stage and took a certificate in the shape of a blade of grass. This is specially designed to symbolize new hope.

"The Trail of the Would-be Bandits" has already been discussed, and Xu Haofeng is not excited, and he makes a very calm speech. The people below slapped their hands, but they couldn't help whispering and discussing the identity of the other party.

The second part, "Liu Rushi", is written and directed by Wu Qi. The script is adapted from Chen Yinke's "Liu Ru is Farewell", which is a surprise, and I expect it to present the classical texture it deserves. ”

“……”

Wu Qi was stunned for a moment before he remembered to go on stage. He himself is the director of the new film studio, and he didn't have much hope, who knew that he would really be selected.

"Uh, thank you, jury. "Liu Rushi" is probably the last batch of film films in China, and my colleagues and colleagues are either using digital photography or on the way to learn digital photography. I hope to tell the story of that history and the struggles of intellectuals in a calm and tolerant manner. Thank you, thank you! ”

After Wu Qi's speech, he stepped aside and stood side by side with Xu Haofeng. (To be continued.) )
