Chapter 539: Toronto Film Festival
"A musician with a real sense of social responsibility......"
"A dancer who teaches a man to fish and a dancer who teaches him to fish."
…… Praise rolls in like a tidal wave, almost engulfing everything.
Because Li Chencan's "Space Step Basic Teaching" has indeed attracted a lot of excitement.
Li Chencan's fans also feel that Li Chencan does have his own calculations because of his actions, and he also has the idea of immersing everyone in the dance together.
Fans of Space Walk, they are also very moved by Li Chencan's approach.
For a time, Li Chencan's unintentional move whose main purpose was just for his own convenience and to save some trouble actually attracted the real love and love of the music circles in the United States and even the world...... This point was a bit unexpected for Li Chencan.
Anyway, Li Chencan didn't expect that the impact of this incident would be so great......
I didn't expect that everyone could be so supportive of this approach.
However, this kind of unintentional move also brought good things after all.
Especially in China, while learning Li Chencan's space steps, everyone is admiring Li Chencan more and more.
"I really don't know, did Li Chencan have some huge breakthroughs in the United States? Otherwise, why would he be so good in the United States? His Harry Potter, his space walk...... His English songs...... Each is a masterpiece that has shocked Americans. ”
In fact, whether Li Chencan is in China or in the United States, his cultural literacy and his talent. That's enough for him to make a lot of truly amazing works! It's just because he recently went to the United States that he showed so many powerful things in the United States. ”
"This is really a strong man who eats both Chinese and Western food! Everyone knows that Chinese and Western cultures are actually only superficially harmonious. The difference is actually not small...... But Li Chencan has done just that, and his achievements in cultural products based on the two are dazzling. ”
"I think that corresponding to Li Chencan's own creative talent, that is, his morality, not everyone is willing to release their hard work to have groundbreaking things for free, but Li Chencan has done it all......"
…… A wide variety of comment voices. It all means that Li Chencan has done the ultimate in many things recently.
There have been so many things about space walking recently, and there are a lot of things that can cause and bring to everyone. However, Li Chencan gradually shifted his attention to other things.
After all, after three consecutive titles on the Voice of America singles chart, Li Chencan's achievements in the American music scene have also reached the peak. No one can deny it anymore...... So this time. He also shifted more of his attention back to his film company and publishing house.
Several new works of the film company, the publishing house's "Twilight", these are all things that Li Chencan needs to worry about.
In the past few days when the space step has come to an end, other news has also reached Li Chencan's ears - "Buried Alive" and "Chainsaw" have all been completed and entered post-production, and the filming of "The Hangover" has also reached the end of the worst period...... The original films of Pyrotechnic Films are now really on the agenda.
These small-budget films will become the first wave of works that will open up the market and fame of their fireworks film company, and will quickly accumulate a huge reputation for the entire film company and Li Chencan.
This is Li Chencan's efforts, and it is also the strength of their efforts.
Compared to several films shot by Li Chencan in China. In the current films, Li Chencan only provides script outlines and rough film planning. There was also a spin around the side when shooting, and it didn't take much time.
However, in fact, it's not just a circle, he really delves into the details of the movie, and basically takes the movie into his control.
At this time, "Smart: Ghost Shadow" has completed post-production and will be included in the release process immediately.
Li Chencan, the finished film of this movie, also had to take a look...... He was scared enough anyway.
It seems that the quality of this movie has also improved a lot after having more experience, a more perfect system, and a better director.
So he didn't have anything to worry about the movie either.
During this period of time, Li Chencan's "Harry Potter" two movies are also entering a rapid sales spree, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has sold 4.21 million copies so far, and it seems that it has been able to exceed 5 million copies sold, and the cumulative sales of this book in the Western world have directly begun to approach 20 million copies.
At the same time, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" also began to be translated into Chinese and began to be sold in China, Japan, South Korea and other countries.
It is believed that this book will be able to spread its influence and sales throughout the world.
In addition, the cumulative sales of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in North America have directly exceeded two million copies so far, reaching 2.37 million copies, and this number is still growing.
The "Harry Potter" series also made the Spark Publishing House led by Li Chencan gradually come into everyone's sight, and gradually became known by more and more people, and the success of this series also brought more and more people to pay attention to other books of the Spark Publishing House.
This has a great impact on Spark Press.
…… Next, Li Chencan's fireworks film company began to get busy.
The first thing they were busy with was the promotion of "Smart: Ghost Story", because the film was about to be officially released soon, and they needed to compete for attendance and box office when it was released.
The movie will be released in September, and there are a lot of things to do in September, and although this movie is carefully selected in terms of schedule, it also has to face a more important, and of course, unavoidable thing - schedule competition!
In the schedule of "Smart: Ghost Shadow", they have a main opponent is another horror film "Extreme Scream", which is different from the production cost of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" at its peak, which is only hundreds of thousands, and the production cost of "Extreme Scream" directly reaches 8 million production costs, and the publicity cost will be about 12 million US dollars, which is a cumulative investment of 20 million! This kind of movie is different from "Smart: Ghost Shadow". The publicity cost of "Smart: Ghost Record" is about $5 million......
Aaron, the film director of "Extreme Scream", also has some good results in the field of thriller movies in the United States.
This will be the main competitor of Spirit: Ghost Record.
Pyrotechnics Films' decision now is to make "Smart: Ghost Movie" participate in the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
The Toronto International Film Festival is a very good film award, mainly in the face of the opening of Western films, in fact, it occupies the most important content, mainly American films...... American films are basically the most sold and most screened at the Toronto International Film Festival.
This film festival is also not mainly a stage for some large and medium-budget films, but mainly for small and medium-cost films to be displayed here.
This is very suitable for films like "Smart: Ghost Shadow".
Because there are a lot of thrillers, supernatural films and other things in this film festival, anyway, there are a lot of similar situations, and many small and medium-budget films are hoping to find a way out in these places.
At the Toronto International Film Festival, selling films is of course an important part of it, which is also the goal of many thriller films, but in addition to selling films, what is more important is that many films hope to get a word-of-mouth diffusion at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The diffusion of word-of-mouth is too important for these things, if a film can spread by word-of-mouth at such a film festival, then when the film is released in the future, it already has word-of-mouth as a guarantee, and it is natural to want to get more people's attention and get a higher box office.
In this way, "Smart: Ghost Shadows" is indeed very suitable for making a name for itself at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Before the film went to the Toronto International Film Festival, it also launched a promotion in the United States, which was mainly online marketing, including the more famous sales methods about the film, that is, the kind of viral marketing, which has a special website, and then released a little information for everyone to guess for themselves to generate curiosity and so on...... In short, the promotion of this film has been officially launched a long time ago, and the content of the development has quickly and really affected everyone.
Now there are more and more people who are curious about this movie...... Everyone wants to see the movie as it really is, to see what the situation is like in this movie.
However, during the promotion, "Smart: Ghost Shadow" inevitably had some conflicts with "Extreme Scream", which can't be regarded as a conflict, mainly because of the competition in publicity.
This kind of competition made Aaron, the director of "Extreme Scream", very angry, and said a lot of things on Twitter.
In fact, a director's job is to finish the movie and then take it to work, but Aaron's previous film failed, so he is now also concerned about "Extreme Scream", and he is very worried about what kind of moth will appear under the hands of "Smart: Ghost Record".
So some of his words on Twitter are also quite a bit.
But "Smart: Ghost Shadows" doesn't pay much attention to that.
Soon, the Toronto International Film Festival has begun, and this year's international film festival is still getting attention from all over the world, and many film companies have also gathered here, and the journey of this film has begun. (To be continued......)
