Shanghai Film Festival...

It gradually developed from the fringes to a place where major companies competed for sequins.

In the past two years, with more and more companies participating, the Shanghai Film Festival can be said to be the largest social event in the mainland film industry!

There are more and more people rushing to the game!

The so-called rush people came with the purpose of expanding their contacts - a bunch of banquets during the Shanghai Film Festival.

Dream Creek Media will also have movie nights.

In addition, there are Huayi Night, Wanda Night, Bona Night...

The banquet hall for 1,000+ people is often full, which is an excellent opportunity to expand your network.

At the same time, a lot of information about companies and projects is obtained here, even if it is information about competitors.

As for talking about the project?

It is unlikely that the project will be completed during the festival!

Many of the projects at the festival have already reached an agreement with other companies before participating in the festival, and companies that enter the festival late may encounter a premium.

The film of the project venture capital...

Most of them belong to the early stage of the project only in the creative, roadshow PPT or script stage, at this time, you have to bear the two major risks of whether the film can be completed and the box office, even if it is a small probability film that can be released, the box office performance of the films released in recent years is average.

Moreover, most of the venture capital projects participating in the Shanghai Film Festival are not mainstream projects, otherwise, they would have been obtained by all parties long ago!

Shen Mengxi mainly came to participate in the industry forum, and by the way, he pretended to be forced...

By the way, he walked the red carpet with the hot bar - promoting "Nine Tails".

......

Hot Bar and Jin Chen, Peng Xiaoran and Yang Xiaomi are the four heroines of "Little Times".

Jin Chen, Peng Xiaoran, and Yang Xiaomi all have their own affairs, and they didn't come to the festival, so they have time to heat it.

She not only has "Nine Tails" but also "Little Times"...

walked the red carpet twice, and the second trip was "Nine Tails", Shen Mengxi asked her curiously: "How do you feel about "Little Times"?"

“... I can't say it well, but the filming process was quite fun. ”

"Are you a fan of Little Times?"

"I'm okay..."

"Then do you prefer Guo Jingming or Han Han?"

"I..."

The hot bar is a little distressing.

"Han Han may also be making a movie!"

"Huh?"

"If you have an idea, you can find Ning Hao, he has a good relationship with Han Han..."

“... Thank you, Mr. Shen. ”

"What is there to thank for..."

While chatting and walking across the red carpet, reporters in the interview area immediately gathered around:

"Did the box office of "The Great Wall" meet expectations?"

"Of course, the world has already passed half a billion dollars..."

"What do you think of this result?"

"I'm still quite satisfied..."

"Are you just satisfied? Many people say that "The Great Wall" has set an unattainable record!"

"You underestimate the domestic film market, although "The Great Wall" temporarily won the box office championship, but judging from the development speed of the domestic market, maybe next year, there will be a movie to break its record!"

After a pause, he added: "Even won more than $600 million at the box office in the domestic market!"

Nobody believes ...

Even what Shen Mengxi said, they were skeptical...

"Director Shen, when will "The Great Wall 2" be released?"

"15 years, the specific time depends on the progress..."

"Then now Mengxi has four series: "Walking with God", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "The Great Wall", and "Painted Skin", what will you develop next?"

"Of course, it's a science fiction movie, "The Wandering Earth" is in preparation..."

After pulling eggs for a while, Shen Mengxi entered, and the hot bar went to the movie conference of "Little Times"...

......

The theme of the first forum was 'Making and Investing in Films for Global Audiences'...

Shen Mengxi was specially invited by Ren Zhonglun to impart experience...

He was the first to speak.

It's hard to pretend to be the first to speak, because there is no target, it's the same as a debate, usually a debate is just to state your own arguments...

The second and third arguments are based on the arguments of the other party, and the rebuttal ...

As soon as you start arguing, who do you refute?

Could it be that the senior brother who learns to cut off the flow of water directly fires the map cannon: 'Everyone here is garbage!'

"In fact, the types of movies that sell well around the world are very clear, blockbusters, high concepts, big special effects, and big investment!"

"From the very beginning of the Great Wall project, our core was to fight monsters on the Great Wall... Expand around this point..."

"Mr. Ren wanted me to talk about my experience, in fact, at the beginning of this project, we never imagined that it would be so popular on a global scale!"

"If hindsight says that a story of humans and monsters, without the requirements of historical background, without the differences between Chinese and Western cultures, with superb special effects, and launched in the summer file, from a commercial point of view, it is acceptable to the global audience. ”

"But if that's all it takes, it's going to sell all over the world... I still don't believe it, that's why I'm here to hear what you have to say!"

"Don't talk to me about big data, if big data is useful, why did "The Golden Compass", "Lone Ranger", and "Alien Battlefield" fail? Anyway, I always think that the success of the movie, in addition to the movie itself, luck is very important!"

"Also, special thanks to Wanda, AMC Cinemas is the first mainstream cinema company to sign a North American distribution contract with The Great Wall..."

This is true, AMC Cinemas first agreed, and then, Junhao and Cinemark signed contracts successively...

Then a bunch of people talked about co-production, capital and industrial upgrading...

Shen Mengxi listened to these people with a smile on his face, but he was thinking about the unsuccessful Xi'an Film Festival in his mind...

It's a pity that if the Xi'an Film Festival can be successful, he will be sure to grow big in five years, and by the way, the first theme park in Mengxi will be built there.

Yu Dong suddenly said: "I think that the co-production of Chinese and American films is a mainstream now, and it will form the mainstream, because the Chinese market is growing rapidly, I said that within five years, our box office will be 10 billion US dollars, and the North American market will be 10 billion US dollars, so that a large number of co-production films will inevitably be formed in the two markets, and the filmmakers of the two countries will also form a huge integration and exchange." Films with Chinese elements will appear in a large number of mainstream Hollywood commercial films..."

Shen Mengxi didn't think about it, and retorted directly: "You think too much, Hollywood is popular now, and then it will be R-rated action, crime, and comedy, and Hollywood commercial films with Chinese elements will not be the mainstream!"

"It's like PropNex is listed in the United States, in our opinion, it's great, but in fact, PropNex's market value is not yet a billion US dollars, Bren House is planning to go public, and several major investment groups have given a market value estimate of 6.5 billion US dollars!"

"In addition, the Chinese market is not so attractive, and it is impossible for top directors to come and work, so what's the point of coming to the last seat?"

"Also, the American entertainment industry is changing, offline movies are gradually moving online, and more than one person has told me that in the future, movie theaters will only show blockbusters, and low-cost direct online distribution!"
