Feng Xiaogang didn't swell the money, and said a lot of things, including 'those awards in Europe are all small circle games'...

The original saying is, 'None of the awards in the world are rules, all of them are boring, all of them are interpersonal relationships.' I'll give you an example, there is a famous director whose film has not yet been made, and Cannes has already said, 'You are the opening film'. Are you saying it's a serious business? ’

Is he right?

That's right, as you can see from the judging mechanism, seven people decide all the awards.

"Uncle Bumi" was Tim Burton, who himself filmed a fantasy theme, and gave Uncle Bumi the highest award...

For example, Quentin's "Fahrenheit 911", the Coen brothers' "Wandering Pandey", Luc Besson's "Dancer in the Dark" and Wang Jiawei's "The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves"...

The level is just like that!

But... This thing also has a lot to do with Feng Xiaogang's own level!

It is difficult to see any aesthetic concepts in Feng Xiaogang's early works, the lens is quite rough, and the texture of a TV series.

Later, I took a lot of pictures and slowly changed a little, but the level was still not enough...

The main thing... He's not academic, he doesn't have connections...

Could it be that Quentin's "Vulgar" has a high aesthetic value?

But he was caught by Xavi and then taken to Cannes...

Shen Xudong is the same, the first play "Outstanding Citizen" was strongly recommended by the Venice film selector, and then took it to Venice, Chen Daoming won the actor, and the second play "The Aviator" won the Jury Award...

"The Grandmaster" is directly the official invitation of the Venice Film Festival...

Is he talented?

At the end of the day, he has connections...

""The Hunt" is best filmed coldly and objectively, if Berlin can't do it, you can go to Cannes to try your luck... I've heard Joseph say that next year at Cannes he might be invited to be a jury member and fight for an award..."

"How did you get shortlisted?"

"MK2 has a cooperation agreement with our company..."

Shen Xudong didn't say much, but everyone was knowledgeable and understood the meaning of his words.

MK2 is the second largest cinema chain in France and a well-known art cinema chain in Europe.

……

This matter is just a plan, after all, Feng Xiaogang is all about "1942", and he can't spare time and energy to shoot "Hunting"...

In all probability, Shen Xudong still has to find a rookie director...

The main thing is invisible pretending...

A little show of Xudong's connections...

After the dinner, they had to arrange a second session and go to a private club.

Visiting a clubhouse with a group of old men?

Shen Xudong made an excuse and took the first step...

It seems that if we get together again in the future, we will have to bring a girl!

Whoever it is, with them, they will at least take care of it a little bit.

Chen Daoming also got into the car, Shen Xudong asked the driver to send Chen Daoming first, and the two chatted in the car for a while.

09's "Burst Drummer" won the Golden Horse Award for Best Film, Chen Daoming won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor, Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor, Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor...

In addition, the final box office of "Burst Drummer" was 142 million, the overseas box office was close to 8 million US dollars, and the remake rights in 6 countries were also bought...

It can be regarded as Director Chen's best word-of-mouth movie in the past three years.

Because after that, he starred in "Thorn Tomb" and "Decisive Battle of Chama Town", which are not masterpieces... Among them, "Thorn Tomb" was even evaluated: the worst in film history!

Even if there were later "Tianji Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" and "Legend of the Gods", it did not cover up the status of "Thorn Tomb".

"The Decisive Battle of Shama Town" is actually not bad, but the investor is LeTV Pictures, which has never controlled the movie plate before, and does not understand publicity, distribution and the like at all.

Basically, there is not much publicity, and the box office is very poor...

Therefore, after "The Decisive Battle", Jia Yueting recruited Zhang Zhao and handed over all LeTV Pictures to him to take care of, and handed over professional things to professionals to do, and then there was the rapid development of LeTV Pictures...

Pulling it back, Chen Daoming and Shen Xudong discussed a lot of ideas for "Hunting", such as filming locations and the like.

For example, it's best to shoot in Thailand.

Although "Hunting" is a story about rumors or a person, the police in the original book are indeed guilty of ignorance...

It's safer to shoot abroad!

was discussing vigorously, Shen Xudong's mobile phone rang, it was Huang Bin who dialed, Shen Xudong smiled apologetically at Chen Daoming, and then connected the phone...

About ten minutes later, Shen Xudong hung up the phone, Chen Daoming looked at his face and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

“… It's a trivial matter, someone is messing with us behind our back..."

"Deal with it well, your company is now the leader of the industry, and every move is being watched!"

"I know, I'll handle it beautifully."

……

The popularity and pre-sale of "New A Chinese Ghost Story" are significantly ahead of other works...

After the release, as long as the reputation does not collapse, it will definitely dominate the National Day file...

But the market of the National Day file is so big, according to the prediction, it can produce a maximum of 500 million box office, so if "New A Chinese Ghost Story" accounts for the majority, what will happen to the other two movies?

"Painted Wall" invested 60 million yuan, and "The Legend of the White Snake" is claimed to cost 150 million yuan...

I want to get it back!

Counting on overseas markets?

Hehe, times have changed, after the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, it is difficult for Chinese films to go overseas, and Hollywood blockbusters show a trend of dominating the world.

Even Golden Harvest's action movies can only shrink into the Southeast Asian market.

So what to do?

The strategy of "Painted Wall" is to be released four days in advance on September 26 to seize the market first...

Oh, Chen Jiashang and Tianmei Media have a normal disagreement, so Chen Jiashang took "Painted Wall" to Light Media, Tianmei Media didn't say anything, and even expressed his blessings in a grand manner...

The most important thing is that "Painted Wall" is not among the ideas of Tianmei Liaozhai.

Tianmei's "Liao Zhai" series, there must be a demon slayer throughout...

Moreover, no matter how you look at the story of "Painted Wall", it is not quite in line with the market...

The original book describes the detachment between Zhu Xiaolian in the Qing Dynasty and the scattered flowers in the painting, showing the good wishes of mortals yearning for adventures and the amazement of the disappearance of illusions.

In fact, it is a scholar's obscene dream - a scholar's adventure when he visited the temple, came to a dream trip, and copulated with all kinds of beauties, and finally commented: People have lustful hearts, and they are born in a blasphemous realm; People have blasphemy, which is a terrible realm.

Well, stay away from greed and lust, and cultivate yourself.

In other words, according to the original filming, it is impossible to pass the censorship, this thing is simply more "Treasure of Bliss" than "* Futon"...

"The Legend of the White Snake" is relatively hard - it will be released on the 30th, facing "New Chinese Ghost Story" head-on...

Huang Bin just called and said that a lot of Nazha's black material was exposed on the Internet, saying that she was from American Airlines... And there are a large number of water armies are gathering, preparing to attack "New A Chinese Ghost Story"...

Shen Xudong asked directly: "Who is behind the scenes?" ”

“… light..."

"Light?"

Shen Xudong was really a little confused...

How can it be light?
