Chapter 1128: Big face
"Indeed, it is time for the British government in Hong Kong to do something." McDonald nodded.
In fact, he has long had the idea of looking for the British government in Hong Kong, because if you want to hold an international A-class film festival, it is difficult to do it without the endorsement of the government.
But Qiao Feng's position has always been mainland-oriented, so he is very worried that Qiao Feng will not agree, and this year is the first year, and it is impossible to get a Class A rating, if you test the waters, it will not be a big problem without the endorsement of the Hong Kong and British governments.
Of course, now that Qiao Feng himself proposed to ask the British government in Hong Kong for help, McDonald Bear was naturally a hundred happy and happy.
"Are there any famous movies invited?Are there many works by stars and directors?" Qiao Feng thought for a while and asked.
The fame of the film participating in the selection or the director, the fame of the actor is still very important.
Don't come to participate in movies that you have never heard of, no fame and no quality, then no matter how many movies come to participate, it will not play much positive role in promoting the film festival.
"A lot, mainly because we don't have so many restrictions in Berlin, Cannes, and Venice.They only accept films that have not been released and have not participated in the award selection to participate, and we can only participate in the awards, as long as the films of the past year can be sent to participate, so that there are many more people who are willing to participate in the selection. Jungle Fever" and "Assassination of the Tsar" will all come to the competition, but it is a pity that the films "House of Smiles" that won the Golden Bear and "Barton Fink" which won the Palme d'Or refused to participate." Speaking of the back, McDonald Bear is very regretful.
Or is the influence of the new film festival not enough, otherwise how could these films refuse to participate.
"yes, it's a pity." Qiao Feng also had a regretful face, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
Nima, fortunately, these films don't come to participate, otherwise how should this award be selected at that time, and who should the Golden Bauhinia Award be given.
Give one of these two films, and fans of the other will certainly not be happy.
Feel that what you like is more deserving of the prize.
If you don't give either of them and give them to other movies, the fans of those two will be even more dissatisfied.
And it will definitely say that you are such a newly established broken film festival, what qualifications do you have to look down on the movies we like.
The film we like has won the Palme d'Or or the Golden Bear, can your broken film festival be more authoritative than one of the three major in Europe?
This kind of weirdness is definitely indispensable.
This has to say that the three major European ones are smart.
They set the conditions for participation, and if you want to participate in our awards, then you can only be a pure new film, and we haven't participated in any selection before, not even a public release.
In this way, the results of my film festival selection were at least the only evaluation at that time, whether others liked it or not, whether they recognized it or not, anyway, you have no object to compare with at all.
As for the results of your film participating in other awards in the future, I don't care.
You didn't get an award from me, you went to other film festivals and got it, that's because they can't see it, as for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu just can't look at your movie.
If you want to get an award from me, but you don't get it at other film festivals, it means that other film festivals don't have a vision.
You're going to get an award from me, and you're going to other film festivals to get it, hey, I'll just say you're okay, look, others think so.
If you don't get an award from me, you don't get it at other film festivals, heh, Lao Tzu just said you can't do it, you can't go anywhere, Lao Tzu is so accurate.
Look, take the lead, take the righteousness, it's such a bull, completely invincible.
Other film awards that don't have this restriction are a bit numb.
Qiao Feng also wants to compete with the three European universities, and also wants to restrict the new film that is innocent and clean to participate in the selection.
But it can't be done.
The three major European ones have been erected for decades, and they have various restrictions, but they do not affect filmmakers around the world at all, and the films are rushing to be sent to the door for evaluation.
What about the Hong Kong International Film Festival?
It's completely a little budding new person who has no name and no authority.
If these restrictions are also imposed, how many foreign films will be able to participate in the evaluation at that time?
I'm afraid that only those independent films with small investment and small productions, and those independent films that have no bottom line will be brought here to participate in the evaluation, try their luck, and hope to come to a big dog to sell the copyright, and make back a dime.
Therefore, if you want to make the Hong Kong International Film Festival a little budding newcomer, the only way is to not set the entry conditions, you can send any film to participate, as for which shortlisted will be selected in the end, it is the judges' business.
Anyway, this tolerant bearing has to be put out.
However, those who won the grand prize in Cannes, Berlin, and Venice had better come elsewhere, otherwise the award will not be well received, and it will be easy to compare and be questioned when it is judged.
In a new film festival, you have been widely questioned about the award from the beginning, so no matter how much energy is behind it, you don't want to start it.
Because power is not authoritative is never what you say, everyone has a scale in their hearts, and you have to be recognized by the majority of the public and professionals.
And then those who were only shortlisted for the competition unit and did not win the prize, or only won a small prize, the more the merrier.
Anyway, I'll give you an award, that's because I look up to you, it's love.
If you don't give you an award, you won't have anything to say, because the three major ones won't give you an award either.
"Mr. Qiao, how is the invitation from the Asia-Pacific region?"
On the European side, McDonald Bear is in charge, but he is not needed on the Asia-Pacific side.
Because in comparison, Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, even the weakest Golden Princess in Southeast Asia, have many times more influence in Southeast Asia than McDonald Bear.
But although he is not in charge of this side, as a member of the organizing committee, McDonald Bear is very owner-oriented, and after reporting his work results, he is very concerned about the situation here.
"Filmmakers from Asia-Pacific countries are very enthusiastic." Qiao Feng said with a smile.
"Say, the Indian ones are also willing?" McDonald asked in surprise.
Both countries have their own international film festivals, both of which are A-class.
Why, the other party didn't give a stumbling block, and enthusiastically expressed that he wanted to participate?
What the hell?
"Mr. Shao's face is big." Qiao Feng praised it.
Why is Shao Yifu a tycoon in the film industry? Even if he is scolded by Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, he will shut down Shaw Brothers, but he is still an unbreakable tycoon.
It is the tremendous strength and influence that he has accumulated over the decades.
He has Shaw Brothers, TVB, and a super cinema chain with more than 200 cinemas in Nanyang.
He is also one of the main founders of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, a very important regional film award in the Asia-Pacific region.
Shaw Yifu came forward to invite, there are several film companies in the Asia-Pacific region, and a few filmmakers can refuse.
"Besides, with the status of Hong Kong films in the Asia-Pacific region and even the world film market, if they don't give us face and don't come to participate, then don't they worry that we won't participate in their film festivals?"
Well, that's the biggest threat to filmmakers in India, two countries with international A-category film festivals.
If you dare not give us face, then don't blame us for not giving you face.
As the world's second largest film industry base, Hong Kong, the Hollywood of the East, still has a very psychological advantage over the bottom of the national A-category film festival, Yuben and India.
Everyone gives each other face, hello, hello, hello, everyone.
So, it's especially Mr. Qiao's big face.
