As for the so-called Big Three.

Cannes, Venice, Berlin, that is also about personal contacts.

Familiar faces are naturally more likely to be selected, and even if they are not popular, they will give a consolation prize.

Let's talk about Harvey Weinstein, the gold medal producer in Hollywood, who was originally a little transparent in Hollywood.

It was with the operation of the award that the introduction of independent films made the first pot of gold, and Miramax was created.

In terms of awards alone, he is more proficient than the Big Six Hollywood.

Tens of thousands of judges have contact information.

Many movies that could have been unattainable can win 100% of the awards in his hands.

It's just that this is already yesterday's yellow flower, and he will be imprisoned by the metoo movement next year.

In Xu Jia's opinion, in fact, this buddy is too inflated, offended people who shouldn't be offended, and ended up with a wall falling down and everyone pushing him.

In short, the operation of the award needs funds, and Bong Joon-ho came for this expenditure.

Of course, it would be better if Jiaxing could use his own energy to work for him.

"These are not problems, today is October 26, and the Dongjing Film Festival should still be in the reporting time, we will report them one by one."

Xu Jia touched his chin, this road has not been walked by Jiaxing, but he can take this opportunity to explore it.

After all, the content of "Parasite" itself is quite in line with the appetite of the judges of these film festivals.

In his previous life, he swept the major film festivals, and there should be no big problem in this life.

Take advantage of this opportunity to familiarize the company's people with the process and operation of major film festivals.

"Yuqing, check the time of the A-level film festival, set up a team in the company to operate for the "Parasite" award, if there are not enough people, dig from the outside, in short, set up this team for me at all costs, and then give me a practical plan."

After Xu Jia finished instructing Miao Yuqing, he turned his head to look at Feng Junhao, who couldn't hide his joy, "But the specific strategy can only be decided after the completion of the film, and the preferences of each film festival are different, can you understand this?" ”

In his previous life, he only knew that "Parasite" swept the major film festivals, and it was not clear how it would work, which still needed to be planned by professionals.

In addition, take the people from the company to see the finished film, so as to unify their thoughts.

Save some people from thinking that this is unreliable.

"No problem, understand, I'll listen to your arrangement."

Bong Jun-ho nodded heavily, more and more glad that he had chosen Jiaxing as an investor in the first place.

Depending on how much Xu Jia attaches importance to films, the follow-up award operation funds will not be less.

The quality of the movie itself is like the barrel of a gun, this money is like a bullet, whether it can hit the prey, in addition to the gun itself, the skill of the person who fired the gun must be accurate, and the number of bullets is also the key.

……

In a flash, it was the next day.

Screening room.

In addition to Xu Jia and Bong Junhao, there are also high-level officials such as Zeng Jia, Cai Yinong, and Yang Tianzhen.

The third master heard that Jiaxing was planning to win the prize, and he was going to come.

But when I heard that it was a Korean film, I didn't mention it again.

Xu Jia has to make a special phone call to explain, otherwise you kid is making money in the domestic market, investing in overseas movies and helping others win awards, what's going on?

Eat inside and out.

"Third master, are you busy? Convenient to talk no. ”

"I'm not busy, I have something to say."

"Isn't this the matter of explaining "Parasite" to you, this film was received when we were negotiating "Megalodon" with Warner, and we talked with overseas companies about the introduction and introduction, I think this film is very interesting, mainly because it is suitable for awards, so I accepted it."

Xu Jia paused and said: "It's not that we don't invest in our local films, it's that I think we came out of this way, and the market has finally developed, and we should do film industrialization instead of following the old path." ”

"In addition, through this movie, wouldn't it be better for us to be familiar with the operation of the awards, and it will be more handy when we make our own movies in the future."

It's really not that Xu Jia grovels in the face of the official, and other people are not birds.

But the third master is different, to be honest, he has helped himself many times, and he is still free of charge, such an elder who silently supports him, how can he bear to disappoint the other party.

As for whether the other party believes his own words or not, then he doesn't care.

I can only say that I should do what I should do.

Han Sanping was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "It's not that I don't want you to invest in overseas films, I just don't want you to follow the old path before, in terms of humanities, we have been up and down for 5,000 years, and we can just pull out a section that is enough to study, but the industrialization and commercialization of film is our biggest shortcoming." ”

"At the beginning, I tried my best to start a blockbuster plan against public opinion, even in that era, it seemed that the face project was wronged and was slandered, I have no regrets, because this is the necessary route, I have to go early and go late, I would rather do it early and increase lessons and experience for the younger generations, rather than do nothing."

"Winning awards is a good thing, but compared with the prosperity of the film market, it is nothing, only when the market itself has vitality, this field can prosper, rather than relying on subsidies and support, to put it mildly, in my eyes, a hundred awards are not comparable to a box office of 100 million."

In terms of awards, Lao Mouzi, Chen Kaige, etc., which were not internationally renowned and frequent visitors to film festivals such as Cannes and Berlin.

But has the film industry improved?

In fact, no, the improvement of the film industry is precisely after the recovery of national strength and the entry of Hollywood blockbusters.

Because Hollywood blockbusters can attract audiences to spend money to enter the cinema, the cinema has the funds to replace the equipment to improve the movie-watching experience, which in turn forces the producer to improve the quality of the movie.

It's a virtuous circle rather than always pursuing the depth of the film, which will only detach from the masses.

It's like a crooked movie, because the directors fell into the idea of making a literary film like a demon, so that the commercial film of the bend was hit hard.

In the end, in addition to the half-dead theatrical film theater chain, the local film industry was hit to a slump.

How sad it is to only rely on the introduction of overseas films to attract audiences.

At the end of the day, that's what happens when you buy rather than build.

"I understand that projects such as "Megalodon", "The Wandering Earth", "The Devil Boy", "Monster Hunt" and so on are all relying on the film industry, but you know, we started late in this area after all, and we still need to learn and time."

"The award is an accessory, and it's better if you can grasp it with both hands, and then it's not enough to make a supplement, and I have a number of production priorities."

Xu Jia patiently chatted with Han Sanping, and completely regarded the other party as his close elder.

Don't forget the well digger, I can enjoy such a good Chinese film market at the moment, and I can't get rid of the credit of the third master, the well digger.
