Chapter 316: Mockery from Overseas
The Binks Cinema Line, which is one of the most well-known cinema chains in the world, has cinemas in almost every country.
The number of cinemas under his command is wide and numerous, and it is also second to none in this culturally open world.
"Director Bruce, I just got in touch with Galaxy Entertainment in the East, and they gave up the March movie schedule and decided to postpone it until May!"
The high-nosed, glassy-glasses Bruce director smiled contemptuously when he heard his subordinate's report.
"Well, I got it." Marketing Director Bruce lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and continued, "I almost thought they were going to release this comedy movie "Between Heavens", but it seems that they are quite sane."
The subordinate couldn't help laughing: "Although they chose to postpone this time, they can't keep postponing it."
"Who knows, if this is the best movie level in the East, then the theater resources don't have to think about them much in the future." Bruce shook his head, and then mocked softly: "After all, there are so many excellent film companies in the world, if they can't make good movies, it's really not worth paying more attention to them."
"Hehehe, I heard that they are planning to participate in the Palme d'Or Film Festival in May, if the level of their films is only like this, it will be a shame in front of the whole world."
"In fact, they lost their face many years ago, and now they are fighting for the Palme d'Or again, but they are just regaining their old regrets."
β...β
Galaxy Entertainment officially announced its participation in the Palme d'Or Film Festival, but after all, it spread overseas.
Not only are overseas fans and audiences ridiculing, but even those capital companies that control many offline theaters are not paying too much attention.
It is true that if you want to prove the quality of your films, the two awards of the Palme d'Or and the Oscars are the highest, as long as you can get one of them, you can prove that your film is a game.
The former pays more attention to the artistry of the film, while the latter takes into account both artistry and commerciality, both of which are indispensable.
However, it is not easy to win these two awards, the movies released every year are like a carp across the river, and there are countless films participating in the selection, even if it is just to get a nomination, it is quite a good result.
"Huh? Did I hear me right? Orientals actually plan to participate in the Palme d'Or? β
"It's said that there is no threshold for participating in the film festival, but they don't have any money in their hearts?"
"I'm laughing to death, if the film is too bad, I won't even be nominated if I report it, if I send a bad movie for several years in a row and it is determined to be malicious troublemaker, maybe I will be blacklisted!"
"There are some things that can't be done with perseverance and perseverance, like the Palme d'Or, which is not useful with hard work alone!"
"I have a little bit of attention to the movie they just released this year, but I can only say that it is not in line with the mainstream aesthetics of the world."
"Although the judges are fair and open, no matter how they say it, they are all subjective aesthetics!"
Soon, the news that Galaxy Entertainment was soliciting excellent scripts from everyone on the whole network was also delivered.
At this moment, all foreigners understand the meaning of an idiom in China.
One-trick pony!
When a film company is not enough to solicit scripts from the whole network, it means that he himself is not very good.
Combined with the news of Galaxy Entertainment's official announcement of participating in the Palme d'Or Film Festival last time, it has caused countless ridicule.
Not even a script yet!
I still want to participate in the Cannes Film Festival like this, I really don't know whether to say arrogance or ignorance.
All in all, no one overseas is optimistic about them.
Quentin, a world-famous director who went to Monaco some time ago to attend the World Music Awards, expressed his opinion on this.
"The Palme d'Or is not as simple as you think! Don't underestimate this honor, Oriental people! I announced that I was going to participate before I even had a script, so I was overconfident! β
Seeing that the popularity is getting higher and higher, well-known overseas movie stars have also begun to bombard this entertainment company in the East!
Four years ago, the Oscar winner, actor Mel Joseph, commented: "Maybe they are in high spirits and enthusiastic now, but the fact of May will pour cold water on their heads like a basin of cold water and make them sober up!"
Actress Jovenie: "It is said that there was such a thing as the Palme d'Or injury in the Oriental film circle many years ago, and it is precisely because of this incident that we have not seen the news of Oriental film and television works in Cannes for nearly ten years, and I want to know how many years after this year passes, the next time I see their movies will be in many years."
In addition to them, several film professionals also commented.
However, they are all mocking openly and secretly, thinking that Galaxy Entertainment is too child's play, and it is too unrealistic to announce that they will participate in the film festival before even the script is ready!
No one is optimistic about them, not a single one!
These remarks spread to the domestic Internet, like a hammer smashed into the hearts of netizens.
Especially those fans who still have expectations, after seeing these cynicisms, their hearts are extremely uncomfortable.
But there is no way to refute it, the best result in domestic film history seems to be that it has been nominated, but it is basically an accompaniment.
Moreover, Xinghe's approach did make them quite unconfident.
Now we are only starting to solicit scripts from the whole network, and there are only about four months left before the Palme d'Or Film Festival is held.
"It's like a gambler who, in a hurry, pushes all his bets to the table."
The summary of these words is indeed very similar to the current state of Galaxy Entertainment.
They're gambling! A huge gamble!
The bet is to be able to get a really good script from the vast sea of people, and make a movie that can make them win the award in May!
As early as yesterday, when the news was released, the script reviewers of the Film and Television Department of Galaxy Entertainment began to work overtime day and night.
They are responsible for screening the manuscripts sent in the mailbox, excluding those that are deliberately troublesome and of poor quality, and then picking out the serious scripts and submitting them.
Further up are the professional reviewers who have insights into the film, and at this level, they will pick out the scripts that meet the conditions or are interesting, and finally hand them to Minister Liang, who will then take them to the directors signed by the company.
All the staff of the film and television department are already firing on their firepower!
"No, this script is really too bad, and the story is too clichΓ©."
"We're going to participate in the Palme d'Or, it's a foreign award, don't even look at this kind of script! Pass it! β
"Blockbusters, commercial films, and literary films, the three are not touched at all! Bring me anything, too! β
"How to audit! Isn't this the script of "Let the Bullets Fly", changing the name of the character, changing the story background and some dialogue, I really think we are stupid! β
"I'm going crazy, this script looks like a joke no matter how you look at it."
"The script for the documentary has also been taken! Isn't it annoying? β
"This is a student at Shengtian Film Academy? I'll have to find a time to visit my alma mater another day, and that's the level of college students now? β
Even though there is a strict review of layers of levels, the number of scripts uploaded is still jaw-dropping.
