Chapter 521: Film Promotion Conference
521 Film Promotion Conference
On the afternoon of May 8, Chen Beiming led several crew members to the promotion meeting site by car.
This promotion conference was the largest film promotion conference in the West of the United States in 1998, under the name of "1998 Global Film Promotion Conference", but the conference was hosted by the West America Film Association, and most of the films promoted were West American films, in a word, it was to concentrate the world's film manufacturers in the West of the United States, and then sell movies to them.
As for other countries, there are one or two symbolic promotions every year, and if it weren't for the operation of Universal Entertainment, Chen Beiming would not have been able to get this place.
But even so, "Wolf Warrior" just got a promotion opportunity, and it was not valued by the organizing committee, not to mention watching the film meeting, even the order of the promotion meeting was the first from the bottom, that is to say, from the official start at eight o'clock and the promotion meeting lasted for one and a half hours, not only did they only have ten minutes, but also the position was ranked last.
But Chen Beiming was already very satisfied, if it weren't for the fact that he already had a certain influence, and Universal Entertainment spared no effort to help behind the scenes, he wouldn't even have such a chance.
Filmmakers in the West have always been very xenophobic, or rather look down on films and filmmakers from other countries.
The presentation was held on the outskirts of the capital of the western United States, in an old castle.
Today, the only people who participated in the promotion meeting with Chen Beiming were Zhang Lanxin, an actor from the United States Federation, Carl, a famous action actor in the United States, and several other crew members, and the others were either busy with the later stage, or they had other things.
The car stopped slowly, the staff opened the door, and Chen Beiming walked towards the castle with a few crew members.
There is a long red carpet in front of the castle, and the people attending the promotion walk down the red carpet, and the red carpet is full of reporters or movie fans on both sides.
When those reporters saw Chen Beiming, they hurriedly raised their cameras.
Although the other members of the crew of "Wolf Warrior" are not famous, Chen Beiming is also the most famous star among everyone, and he also made a splash on the news yesterday, after all, not everyone can get the personal pick-up of Anna, the queen of American and Western love songs.
However, just when everyone was about to pose for the reporters to shoot enough, not far away, another crew happened to arrive.
"The vampire crew?"
"The vampire crew is here!"
The reporters exclaimed, and in an instant, all the cameras were pointed at that side.
As for Chen Beiming and them, no one paid attention to them anymore.
“FUCK!” Carl yelled angrily.
Several others were also dissatisfied.
But Chen Beiming is very calm, he has seen too many things like this, the entertainment industry is such a cruel place, whoever is more popular, everyone will pay attention to whom, the unfamous, sorry, we don't have time.
There are a total of 6 films in this promotion meeting, each film is about ten minutes of promotion, first, the crew members come to the stage to make a three-to-five-minute introduction to their own films, and then there are about five minutes of short film screening time, in other words, you have to tell the best part of your movie in the first five minutes, so that people are interested, and then in the next five minutes, put out the most wonderful clips, so that people like it, the difficulty is not ordinary.
Chen Beiming entered the venue and sat down, and next to him, a person looked at him, and when he saw who he was, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, Chen? It's you? ”
Chen Beiming smiled and stretched out his hand: "Mr. Marin, hello." ”
Sitting next to him is Ma Lin, a well-known film director in the West of the United States, who likes to make action thrillers, and this time he also brought his new film "Black Friday" to the promotion meeting.
"Hi Chen, what was said in yesterday's newspaper is true? Are your movies really good? Marin asked.
"Of course." Chen Beiming replied with a smile.
"Are you so confident?"
"I believe in myself." Chen Bei Ming Dao.
Ma Lin looked at Chen Beiming and watched it for two seconds, then shrugged his shoulders: "Chen, it's useless to believe, I also believe that my movie is the best, but it's useless, and in the end, the movie has to speak." Chen, you see, that over there, that, and that, and that, they are all the most well-known directors in the United States and the West, and even in the world, and they all say that they are very confident in their films, so do you think your movies are good, or are their movies better? ”
"Of course I think my movies are good!" Chen Beiming replied with a smile.
Hearing Chen Beiming's answer, Ma Lin didn't know what to say, and after a moment, he smiled: "Okay, then I hope you will still be so confident after the promotion meeting!" ”
"I will." Chen Beiming replied with a smile.
But no one believed his words, Marin listened, shrugged his shoulders, and pursed his lips secretly.
I can't talk about it this day.
He thought.
He has actually always admired Chen Beiming, so when he saw him at the moment, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words to the other party, but who knows, chatting and chatting reached an extremely embarrassing situation.
"Hehe, do young people really dare to say it? How confident you think your movies must be better than those of us well-known directors? ”
Marin sneered secretly.
He didn't say anything more.
If he didn't say it, Chen Beiming naturally didn't want to say it.
At this moment, his brain is running at high speed.
You can blow it, but you still have to do it steadily.
With so many well-known directors here tonight, and everyone seems to be full of confidence in their films, how can we win a beautiful battle in such a fierce competition, especially in a very unfavorable situation?
He'll have to think about it.
But after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of any way, so he turned his head and asked a few people around him: "Think about it, what can we do to win tonight's promotion meeting?" ”
Those guys listened to Chen Beiming's question, and they all had bitter faces.
"Mr. Xiaoshan, we don't know."
"It's a difficult question, it's just unsolvable."
"Mr. Xiaoshan, tonight's competitors are too strong, you see, Director Marin can only be ranked behind, let's ...... We're afraid it'...... Even...... I'm afraid I don't have many opportunities! ”
There was little confidence in everyone.
I don't even have faith, so let alone figure it out.
Chen Beiming suddenly missed Qingzi a little, if that girl was here, she could at least come up with one or two ways.
"Well, it seems that I will try to take her with me in the future." Chen Beiming secretly made up his mind.
But now is not the time to think about that question, the key now is to think about how to win in the pitch meeting?
"Oh, there it is!" Chen Beiming's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a way.
