"As a last resort, it's better not to start a war of public opinion."

When Li Chencan and Wei Ansheng were discussing, Wei Ansheng said: "Although the public opinion war may exert pressure on them, it is necessary to blackmail the government...... You'll never be pleased, even if the movie is good, we'd better think of something else...... After all, the right to speak is still in their hands. ”

Li Chencan nodded, he still understood this truth.

Public opinion warfare...... This kind of thing is not something that grass people can fully control.

To make this movie have a turnaround, in fact, they have many ways, and the public opinion war will only be used after the most difficult time......

Therefore, it is better to choose other methods now...... Instead of just getting everything out.

This is also one of the things that Qian Xingyu is considering......

In fact, he also knew that under China's current system, he completely let his father walk a tightrope, which would break if he was not careful, and he also wasted a lot of precious favors.

However, he has dragged so many large companies into the water, and it will certainly not work if he doesn't explain it to them.

"Dad, I know everything you said, but I didn't do anything, so I threw more than 4 million to Li Chencan for nothing...... Do you say I'm wronged? "Qian Xingyu has taken the route of complaining.

Qian Shengfang just looked at him with a smile: "Don't try to hide it from me, you broke the contract first, and the other party only needs 5% of you, it should be because of your joint pressure." This is the last time that this kind of thing will happen in the future, don't blame me for not helping you. ”

Qian Xingyu knew that his father should be the most serious when he said this. Hurriedly nodded and promised, for fear that he would regret it.

...... "Other Approach......"

Li Chencan: They are discussing a way to make "Saving Private Ryan" use other ways to achieve a breakthrough.

If you want to break through in other places, you need to think very carefully.

In this world. The influence of public opinion is increasing, and a lot of information cannot be hidden. Once "Saving Private Ryan" builds momentum, many things can't be suppressed......

But how do you build momentum?

That's a problem, and now Li Chencan and they are discussing this thing.

"I have a solution...... Wei Ansheng now quickly put forward a solution, and after Li Chencan heard it, he immediately felt that he was troubled, but there were some questions in between: "Participate in the Venice International Film Festival?" That's okay...... But. According to our current situation, at the domestic review level, it is illegal to participate in foreign film festivals, right? ”

According to the regulations. It is true that you need to pass the domestic review before you can participate in foreign film festivals, although the film has passed the review, but the level is too low, in principle. For the sake of the face of the Chinese. In principle, films with too low a review level are not allowed to proliferate......

Otherwise, the Venice International Film Festival has a high degree of attention, although it is one level lower than the Yenching International Film Festival, but it can still attract a high degree of attention in the entire world.

This is one of the three major international film festivals in the Western world, and it is staggered with the Cannes International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival in the second half of the year, in addition to the Yenching International Film Festival. The most watched film festival in the entire world.

Moreover, "Saving Private Ryan" was originally an American film. Some of these things are actually the values of the Western world, and if this kind of movie is first released in the Western world, it will definitely be more able to catalyze word-of-mouth than if it is released directly in China.

Therefore, if it can be screened at the Venice International Film Festival, it is really possible to play this game of chess.

Wei Ansheng, who has been in this circle for many years, seems to have more opinions, he smiled mysteriously, and then said to Li Chencan: "Many films are not the same, the domestic review level is very low, and even those that have not passed directly are sent to the film festival...... There are many examples of this......"

Li Chencan said: "However, we are now in an eventful season, this movie has been stuck, if it is promoted in Europe, won't others catch it even more?" ”

Wei Ansheng insisted on his point of view: "So, as long as you are confident that the film will perform well at the Venice Film Festival, no one will find fault with you...... After all, this movie has a low review level, which is a butt of shit, as long as the movie is released over there, everyone knows what is going on...... The Film Bureau was the first to dare to admit that the movie was actually at that review level. ”

Wei Ansheng paused, and then said: "Moreover, as long as the movie is influential, then it will be fine!" The most important thing is that what you said before is just an unspoken rule, in fact, the real rule is only that films that have not passed the domestic review cannot participate in the European Awards...... Besides, we are not participating in the awards now, but only screenings...... None of these problems exist, unless someone wants to pull the pigtails specifically......"

Hearing Wei Ansheng say this, Li Chencan nodded, and slowly understood many things in his heart.

So, the keyword is that the movie must have good reviews in Europe, and the reviews need to reach the point where they can be hyped...... When the time comes, it will not be a war of public opinion, but a real evaluation, and many things will be reversed.

As for the unspoken rules, you don't have to touch them if you don't have to, but now this is an extraordinary time, so you can't control so much.

Thinking of this, Li Chencan suddenly became enlightened, and then, several people began to refine the various details of this plan.

...... copy of "Saving Private Ryan" was soon placed in a safe and began to be sent to the Venice International Film Festival for review. Copying this thing is too important, and once it is leaked, the consequences are unimaginable...... If it is better in countries such as China and the United States with perfect intellectual property protection, but if it leaks to foreign countries, it is difficult to say, anyway, the country does not necessarily go to war with others for your movie, if you fight a lawsuit, even if you win, the loss will be difficult to recover.

The entire copy of "Saving Private Ryan" has more than 200 Gs, which is very large anyway, and it takes nearly 1 day to copy it.

The Venice International Film Festival is the first international film festival in the world, with the title of "the father of the world's international film festival", with a history of almost 100 years, witnessing the century-old film history of the world, and also witnessing the rise and fall of the seventh art of mankind. This year's Venice International Film Festival officially started on September 12 and will return to the award ceremony on September 23, "Saving Private Ryan" did not apply for the award, so there is no shortlist, but after the film was copied into the hands of the jury here, it was immediately brought a strong shock by this film.

The tragic war scene shocked everyone to ...... Moreover, they are not Americans who compete with the Chinese for the glory of the Normandy landings, and there is no problem of crookedness in the ass, so the movie quickly moved them to a knees, and "Saving Private Ryan" was screened at half past seven in the afternoon of the 15th and three o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th, and it was also in the only IMAX screening hall of the Venice International Film Festival!

So they still take good care of this film...... Of course, there is also a reason behind this, which costs one or two million, which is very small compared to the investment in "Saving Private Ryan", but the figure itself is not small...... However, this number can also be selectively ignored compared to what they get.

Now it's time to test the true impact of Saving Private Ryan!

Li Chencan set foot on European soil for the second time, the first time for "A Bite of China", but that time in France, this time in Italy.

Under the Mediterranean climate, the temperature is not bad, and the scenery is brightly lit, showing a splendid landscape under the night sky.

Li Chencan also has no intention of appreciating these scenery and the like, he came here for "Saving Private Ryan......

This time, it's not just about "Saving Private Ryan", he's going to save himself......

The Venice International Film Festival started yesterday, Li Chencan and Lu Weidong came here today, and they only arrived here at night, and there was almost no time to adjust the time difference, and the movie will officially start tomorrow......

At that time, there will be specially invited film critics, some European film companies, and some respected old filmmakers from the jury to watch this film, and the IMAX super movie theater, which can accommodate more than 300 people, can basically be filled.

This is not only the charm of stuffing money when invited, but the bigger reason is from "Infernal Affairs", that novel and classic movie, which remains in the hearts of many people.

The Venice International Film Festival has been affected by the European economic crisis in recent years, and its state has declined a little, and sometimes it even relies on some hype cult movies to attract attention, but their heritage is still there, as long as the heritage is still there, "Saving Private Ryan" set sail here, as long as there is enough quality, then everything is not a problem.

Seeing that the official screening of "Saving Private Ryan" is about to begin, Li Chencan's heart is slightly drumming, but he has suppressed it, and the next time is to decide on the trial, the movie "Save Private Ryan" will really attract the attention of the world for the first time and accept their judgment.

If the movie doesn't get as much of a favor as expected...... That's ...... Li Chencan, who immediately became heavily in debt, will go back to sing and write books first, save some money, and then make a comeback with a low-cost film in a few years...... (To be continued......)
