Chapter 206 soared at the end of the session
Hearing this, Huang Jiaojiao and Huang Dongsheng both became high-spirited. Isn't it just the ability to make money? Their family may lack other things, but they just don't lack this thing!
"Don't be busy rejoicing." Li Yuan hurriedly said, "This is just a selection, there are more than 1,500 movies." And it's not too difficult, you don't spend any money, and it's the same when you go to Cannes to fill out the application form. It's nothing more than giving you the qualifications to sign up. ”
Huang Jiaojiao asked eagerly: "Xiao Yuanzi, what should I do next?" ”
"Then there are the films that have been shortlisted for the film festival. It's the kind that has a chance to be released publicly at the film festival, at least it will be shown to you in a small movie screening hall in the middle of nowhere. This is equivalent to a primary. This is followed by the main competition unit, which usually has more than 20 films. That's to get to the finals. Finally, of course, there are the awards. ”
"So how do you win the grand prize?" Huang Jiaojiao's biggest concern is actually this.
"Don't worry, let's talk about the final main competition unit first. As I should have just introduced, the films recommended by major studios and filmmakers will be selected to enter the finals. There are also some famous directors and Cannes descendants......"
"Cannes?"
"That's right! Major film festivals will cultivate a group of their own people. When they are awarded, they will get a lot of convenience. Of course, those who are the first choice of their descendants will generally choose to support their own film festivals. ”
"Understood, incense."
That's what it means. But do the math and exclude those who must be selected, how many places are left? To be honest, the newcomers who can break into the main competition unit, they are all very good. Generally speaking, after participating in the Cannes Film Festival three or four times, and entering the screening session once or twice, you will finally be given a chance to compete in the main competition. As for whether you can win the prize? Then it depends on the quality of your film. ”
"Can you buy it for the same amount of money?" Huang Dongsheng asked curiously.
"Actually...... That's fine, too! Li Yuan hesitated, "But it's better not to, the qualifications you bought will definitely not get a prize, and you won't even be given a consolation prize." The judges of the festival are invited from outside, and they generally resent such behavior. In addition, the film industry is so big, and with such a bad reputation, it will be difficult to mix in the future. There is little hope for the prize. ”
Huang Jiaojiao immediately said righteously: "What we pursue is film art, and we will never be contaminated with this copper smell." ”
Li Yuan was happy: "Yes, yes." So the main competition unit doesn't need to be considered, our goal is to be shortlisted for the screening session. ”
"Isn't that hopeless?" Ying Xin's expression was somewhat regretful.
Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "What you need is the following things: The first is to qualify. The layman generally doesn't know what the main competition unit and the screening link are. As long as you show it at the Cannes Film Festival, you can claim to be 'shortlisted'. As for which one is shortlisted? Who cares about that? There is also walking the red carpet. As long as it is a screening film, the opening ceremony must be qualified to walk the red carpet. There will also be several invitations to the closing ceremony. It's just a few more award-winning works. The last thing is to win the prize. The grand prize will definitely be won by the main competition unit, but the films screened are also eligible for consolation prizes. Then it depends on your luck. Hehe. ”
"So, on the contrary, the screening session is the most suitable for you. Generally speaking, of the hundreds of films screened, more than 20 of the main competition units are removed, and there are dozens of purchased qualifications, and there are still 50 or 60 left......"
Huang Jiaojiao immediately had a question: "Can you buy it here?" ”
"Of course. The main competition unit is okay, why can't the screening link? And some producers, they either know that their films don't win awards, or sell films for commercial promotion, or just show off like us, and even think that they have to put their hard work at the film festival once. And they will ...... Sponsor it! It can also be said that the money is paid to rent the screening hall of the film festival. But I also don't recommend sponsorship to you. For the same reason, the jury was disgusted. ”
"Fifty or sixty? It's also very difficult. Huang Jiaojiao and Ying Xin glanced at each other.
Li Yuan smiled: "Don't think it's so difficult, do you think that everyone is good to come to the dock?" The first thing to look at is the region. There are always a few places given in important areas. In Chinese-speaking areas like ours, as long as you participate in the competition, you will generally give a few. Otherwise, how can it reflect the representativeness of international film festivals? Secondly, it is necessary to tell a good story, and the lens is beautiful and the photography skills are skillful. As long as you do these two things, you can basically be shortlisted. Hehehe. ”
(⊙?⊙) (⊙?⊙) (⊙?⊙)
The servant on the other side blinked. Huang Jiaojiao couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yuanzi, what about artistry?" ”
"Artistry is all about opinion. And that's ready to take the big prize. We just need a consolation prize! The consolation prize at the Cannes Film Festival is also an international award, and you can also boast about it in the media. ”
"Oh!"
Li Yuan went on to explain: "Don't you think it's easy to tell a good story? Where these basic conditions can be done, the best is Haolaiwu, which should not be disputed. The second is Hong Kong. The third place is the mainland. Moreover, the mainland is even comparable to Haolaiwu in terms of beautiful pictures, and Lao Mouzi suddenly raised this standard to the top of the mountain! ”
"And what about Europe?"
"There are indeed a lot of good directors in Europe, but almost all of them go to Hollywood after they become famous. What is the level of those newcomers who remain? To put it mildly, we might as well be here. So they can only innovate in terms of unconventionality and add a lot of restrictive content to art films. ”
The inside stories introduced by Li Yuan, if they are placed in this era, are definitely cold knowledge with high gold content.
In fact, the sixth generation of domestic directors has also benefited from this unspoken rule and has been frequently shortlisted for international film festivals. But among this group of directors, there are indeed a few real materials, such as Section Chief Jia, Lou Ye, Wang Xiaoshuai, etc., but there are also many who are indiscriminate. It is because of such unspoken rules that they have the opportunity to go to international film festivals to brush up on their qualifications.
Of course, there are also smart actors who will take advantage of this rule. For example, Fan Xiaopang, she took the opportunity of walking the red carpet and directly brushed out a first-line top-notch.
After hearing these words, the servants on the other side were dumbfounded. This completely subverts their common sense, I didn't expect the Cannes Film Festival to be like this?
It was Huang Dongsheng who came to his senses first. He smiled: "Yuanzai, I think your method is still reliable." ”
Li Yuanle said happily: "Two beauties, how are they?" Participating in international film festivals, walking the red carpet, and the possibility of winning consolation prizes? ”
Huang Jiaojiao and Ying Xin nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!" That's what we want. ”
"That's good! Let's talk about this film project now. Birch Tsai definitely needs it, should his salary be ......? ”
"I have already asked Brother Zhong, about 1 million." Huang Jiaojiao replied with a smile.
"That's good! Since you need a mature crew to tell a good story, I suggest co-producing with the mainland. If you shoot with a single camera, 1 million should be enough. ”
"So cheap?"
"Huh. How expensive do you think it is? ”
In the early 90s, the salaries of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars were just like that, and they were not so expensive. And mainland actors are still getting basic salaries. After joining the crew, a little allowance will be given at most. Even if you are famous, it will be almost the same if you give a few thousand yuan.
Just like Deng Jianguo once said in an interview, the first time he met with Mr. Zhang Guoli, Zhang Guoli never saw 20,000 yuan in cash?
One thing to say, Deng Jianguo's big mouth, his words must be a bit exaggerated. But it can be shown that almost all mainland actors had little money at that time. Not to mention any high salaries.
"So 2 million can make this movie?" Ying Xin asked curiously.
Li Yuan smiled at her: "I still need to prepare 1 million." You're going to Cannes. And after returning from Cannes, I will participate in some international film festivals such as Tokyo, Moscow, and Cairo. Although it is not very famous, at least it is an A-level film festival. Maybe you can get a few more awards? Finally, the golden statue, the golden horse, and the golden rooster run a lap. No matter how you say it, you have to run enough. Tell me, is this 1 million worth it? ”
Huang Jiaojiao and Ying Xin were already hugging each other excitedly. Huang Dongsheng laughed: "Spend 3 million to buy a chance to be in the limelight, Xiaomei and Xinxin are definitely willing." ”
Li Yuan said: "Brother Dongsheng, there are still you." ”
"Huh? Have me on the side? Huang Dongsheng was taken aback.
Li Yuan explained with a smile: "The protagonist Huazai and the crew are in the mainland, and the director will look for them later." Jiaojiao's chief producer, Xinxin's screenwriter, you are a very important soundtrack? ”
"Wow! I can't, I can't! ”
Huang Jiaojiao squinted: "Haven't you been writing songs at home?" ”
"I'm just playing, I don't really have that kind of talent."
"It doesn't matter." Li Yuan persuaded, "The soundtrack doesn't have to be original, you and your band friends always arrange music, right?" ”
"Huh?" Huang Dongsheng suddenly smirked. He was despised by Huang Jiaojiao several times.
Li Yuan continued: "In the end, it is the return of the project. Since this is a co-production, the box office of the mainland belongs to the mainland, and we only need overseas revenue. It's no longer possible to bend there. Therefore, Hong Kong plus other Chinese-speaking markets will strive for a million box office. If an art film can get such a box office, it should already be considered a success. In this way, we will be able to get half and a half million. If there is still a videotape market, try to sell another hundreds of thousands. ”
In the early 90s, the purchase and sale of films in the mainland was still the traditional practice of selling copies, the kind of several thousand yuan per copy. In other words, even if you can sell 300 copies, how much money will you have? And you have to share accounts with mainland studios? It's better to simply be high-winded.
As for the Bend area? At that time, mainland films were completely banned. You should have heard that Mr. Leung Jiahui won the actor for "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" and "Listening to Politics with the Curtain", and then he was banned by Bend.
Since he chose to co-produce with the mainland, he simply did not consider the crooked market.
However, Ying Xin was shocked: "Yuanzi, then you have to lose 2 million?" ”
The eldest lady didn't think so. As a fat sheep who killed decisively, she laughed: "2 million is 2 million!" Little edge! You are allowed to succeed, not to fail! ”
Li Yuan shrugged: "It doesn't have to be a loss?" If it can be sold at the festival, it will cost 100,000 or 200,000 US dollars in the US market. That would save the capital. What if we add a European market? That's the money. ”
"Really?" Huang Jiaojiao and Ying Xin smiled.
Li Yuan smiled and waved his hand: "It can only be said that it is possible, but the chance is not big." But even if it can't be sold, then the copyright will be operated slowly in the future, and sooner or later it will be able to return to its original capital. ”
"We don't care anyway. It's up to you. ”
"Yuanzi, what movie are you going to make?"
"Didn't think about it?"
"Huh?"
They almost had a mouthful of old blood. Our pants are ......, you tell us this?
Li Yuan said with a smile: "The Cannes Film Festival is held in May every year, and the selection of films will end in March, so it is too late for this year." Wait for next year! After New Year's Day next year, I will go to the capital and decide what film to make when the time comes. ”
“……”
……
Talking and laughing, Li Yuan and they decided on a film project.
However, Li Yuan always felt that something was wrong. Aren't two silly girls going to make an art film? How did it become "my movie"?
At this moment, a sudden commotion erupted. After a while, news came - the explosion of Yeshan Qingquan rose, and the stock price jumped to 1.61 at once.
Li Yuan looked at the time, and it was indeed less than half an hour before the close. Then there was a scene of a late spike, and the stock price rose all the way, and when it closed, it had risen to HK$2.33.
In the enthusiastic cheers, Huang Jiaojiao was already happy to close her mouth. Facing the reporters at the scene, she finally began to talk eloquently:
“…… Thank you for your support to friends from all walks of life and shareholders for your support to Yeshan Qingquan. Sooner or later, some lies will be exposed, and today's share price says it all. ”
"Miss Huang, are you mapping something? Or does it mean something else? ”
"Haha, I didn't say anything."
"Miss Huang, is someone deliberately manipulating the performance at the end of today?"
"Haha, I don't know anything? Sure that someone is optimistic about our wild mountains and clear springs? Could it be that they put out fake news? Anything is possible. Otherwise, why would those people have so much motivation to write articles? Even some pigs don't die anymore and ask for money. ”
The scene was in an uproar: "Miss Huang, are you saying that someone is manipulating the media?" ”
Those words are hypothetical. I don't mean anything else, huh? Hahaha......"
Huang Jiaojiao has finally grown, and she has also become an old yin and yang person.
"Miss Huang, don't you think your words are very inappropriate?"
"Hong Kong is a place where the law is spoken. I have my freedom of speech. Don't accept to find a lawyer? Hahaha! ”
“……”
After holding back for so long, Huang Jiaojiao was finally able to raise her eyebrows and get a chance to fight back. Inside and outside the hall, the arrogant laughter of the eldest lady can be heard everywhere......
