Chapter 32: Newcomer Film Festival (6/8)

Celebrities, no matter what you do, there are black fans!

Unless you're RMB...

The renminbi is also not good, and many people dislike that the color of a piece of renminbi is not as good as a hundred yuan.

Liu Yifei's Hesse is also quite a few

Especially starred in "Inception", which was scolded by many people for ruining the movie!

It's strange that a bunch of people left messages saying that they weren't used to seeing Asian faces...

If you're not used to it, you have to change!

The nomination of "Carol" is also true, if you like her, you will say 'win glory for the country', and if you are unhappy with her, you will say 'you have shit luck' or 'good kung fu, and you are comfortable serving investors!'

Well, there's nothing wrong with that last sentence!

That's the problem!

Many of her works are invested by Shen Mengxi...

It's called a group with funds...

In the United States, many celebrity fans said that Liu Yifei squeezed out the opportunity of their idols, and in China, some people actually said so...

Is this necessary?

There is a financier behind people, what is there to be jealous of?

She's not involved in bad movies...

The young lady usually ignores these black fans, not because she is psychologically strong, but selectively ignores them.

Shen Mengxi looked at this black fan's answer, and thought a lot in his head...

In fact, the life cycle of the actor industry is relatively short, from showing up to becoming popular, and it is generally about 15 years to be unpopular, and it is not the actors themselves who play a decisive role, but the aesthetic orientation of the younger class of society!

You are like Chen Chong, Zhang Yu, Siqin Gaowa, Liu Xiaoqing, how popular you are!

Four Golden Flowers!

Every actor has their own golden period...

Actresses are even more so, now there are many people who don't know how awesome the four big flowers were back then, they are chasing Yu Shuxin and Xu Jiaqi...

You... Acquaintance?

"What are you questioning? Are you as good as her?"

That black fan didn't speak...

It's probably a black wave that follows the rhythm.

......

The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

Took a taxi and went straight to the villa.

"Los Angeles Newcomer Film Festival?

"Sunset Gower Studios is in charge of hosting..."

Seeing that the young lady didn't understand, Shen Mengxi simply explained more specifically: "Sunset Gower Studio is a top screenwriting studio, and Jason Bren was also a member of it before, Jason told me that the Rookie Film Festival shows 6 to 12 movies every month, so each film will receive exclusive attention." Well-known distributors such as Weinstein, Disney, Paramount, and Cohen Media Group also participate in the festival. The purpose of the festival is to assist more than 1,500 national and international distribution representatives, which is why 80% of the films screened at NFMLA are selected for distribution. ”

“... Don't we have a partner?"

"But "Donkey Gets Water" and "Piano of Steel" did not sell genes, and it is best to use the film festival to make some names..."

"Okay, I see..."

Liu Yifei nodded, probably understanding Shen Mengxi's point.

Sell Copyrights!

She also wanted to ask why not go to Cannes...

Why not go to Cannes?

Because of the Asian copyright, Mengxi can develop it by itself, and the European copyright is handed over to Constantine Films...

came to participate in the newcomer film festival, mainly to sell the rights to the Americas.

The newcomer film festival is basically from the Americas - they love to come here because they serve two meals for free...

By the way, Shen Mengxi has recently gotten very close to Germany's Constantine Films.

What's the approach?

More than 60 million euros have been absorbed, and several Sino-German co-productions are ready to be made...

It's true, it's not a pie, Dream Creek bought the rights to "Knock on Heaven's Door", and in addition, is preparing to shoot "Captain Fake", "Who Am I: There Is No Absolutely Safe System"...

Shen Mengxi turned on the TV and watched "Spartacus"...

Very... Energetic!

Every episode is a big scale!

Shen Mengxi had heard of this drama before and said that it was yellow and violent, so he clicked on the first episode with a critical attitude, and then, forgot to fast-forward...

Out of the low-level fun...

The blood of those who watched was boiling!

was boiling, Liu Yifei took a bath, pulled his slippers and walked out, just about to complain about the water temperature, glanced at the TV screen, and the whole person was not good: "You... You're actually looking at the adult stage?"

“... What an adult channel, this is Starz TV, which is on par with HBO, and our "Spring and Autumn in the Temple" is also broadcast on this station!"

"Then what do you say they are doing?"

"The woman has too much water, and the man helps her to control the water..."

"Phew..."

"What's the matter, Starz TV is already very restrained, and "Black Eats Black" and "Femme Fatale" broadcast by Cinemax are called large-scale!"

"That's... Are the ratings high?"

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "The large scale is just a gimmick, if you fight on the scale, can there be a series of films in the San Fernando Valley on a large scale? ”

“... Forget it..."

The young lady threw off her shoes and pushed Shen Mengxi extremely skillfully, ready to give him a confused look...

"Wait, let's watch this episode first..."

"What's so nice? Don't you dislike white girls?"

"I'm watching the plot... Forget it, come on!"

Lie flat and do what a tool man should do!

......

Thomas Toole also came to the Newcomer Film Festival.

Of course, his purpose is not to buy any copyright, but simply to talk to Shen Mengxi about "The Great Wall"...

He still attaches great importance to this project, and the director has been chosen: Edward Zwick.

The representative works "Burning Years" and "The Last Samurai".

The original script was also written by Edward Zwick, and in the script, four so-called Chinese elements were piled up in a traditional Hollywood monster fighting story: gunpowder, the Great Wall, gluttony, and secret troops.

In other words, his positioning of the movie "The Great Wall" is just to become another monster blockbuster of Legendary Pictures, similar to "Warcraft" and "War of the Gods", replacing the background of the Great Wall, and it is feasible for the story to take place anywhere in the world.

Why are you looking for Shen Mengxi?

Simply trying to leverage his ability to distribute in China...

Shen Mengxi mentioned that the script was weak, and Thomas Toure waved his hand: You make your own decisions!

Everything can be called to Shen Mengxi, after all, he has this ability...

Here's the problem, Shen Mengxi wants to be the director!

This one definitely doesn't work, for the simple reason that he has no experience in this area...

Even if Thomas Toure agreed, he couldn't convince other investors that most of Legendary's funding comes from Wall Street...

Shen Mengxi is not a mainstream director...

There is no relevant directing experience either.

It's like Guo Fan filming "The Wandering Earth", who knows that it can be filmed like that?

Guo Fan's last movie was called "You at the Same Table", and it was not next to each other at all!

Thomas still wants to persuade Shen Mengxi to give up...

When he found Shen Mengxi, the latter was chatting with the people from Classon Film Company in Brazil about "Donkey Gets Water"...
