Chapter 39 Drinking Party

In May, the opening of the film festival marks the official start of Cannes summer, with colorful times flowing from the screen to everyone living here.

This small town on the Mediterranean coast in southern France will flood more than 100,000 people, including film practitioners, media personnel and tourists from all over the world

The area of ​​more than 20 square kilometers is shoulder to shoulder, and the feast mainly flows between the 7-kilometer Palm Beach and the 24-stage Film Festival Palace!

Many filmmakers have won world honors since Cannes

Martin Scorsese, Elmano Olmi, Francis Coppola, Kurosawa Akira, Wong Kar-wai... A series of flashing names will appear on this list, and it is them who collectively created this professional hall. More than 300 handprints on the Avenue of Stars explain everything

Unfortunately, since the 1980s, Hollywood has influenced the world and has been based in Hollywood's Oscars, which has naturally risen.

Someone once said that if we only come from an artistic perspective, the three major European film festivals are enough to crush the Oscars, but once we go from an entertainment perspective, the movies around the world cannot be as good as Hollywood.

For modern people, art is not a must, but entertainment is a must!

Although Chinese-language movies have not won any awards in recent years, the production alone has been enough to earn considerable copyright income in the traditional Southeast Asian market.

For example, Confucius, if the investment of 1.2 billion yuan is simply relying on the domestic market, it is impossible to recover the cost.

However, with the export copyright plus the share of the box office, the guaranteed capital is certain. As for whether it can make a big profit, it is hard to say.

……

All done?

You can't imagine that more than half of the screening stations in Cannes this year were empty, and the market was gradually sluggish. I heard that DVD sales in Russia, Spain and Brazil were almost stagnant, and even the auxiliary market of the TV industry was disappearing, so no one dared to take risks...

Chen Jingshen began to report on his work

...Are you sure?

Paohui looked puzzled

Whether it is his past life or present life, this is his first time overseas. I don’t know that abroad is really in dire straits...

...Brother, now, except for our Chinese market, the film market around the world is shrinking!

When saying this, Chen Jingshen's face was obviously a little proud.

Then our movie...

Don't worry, I have sold 5 million yuan in copyright!

...Is it US dollars?

certainly!

Chen Jingshen glanced at Xu Hui and explained: There are many small countries in Southeast Asia and Africa. Their local film industry is relatively weak and they are more willing to spend a little money to buy Chinese movies. In fact, if your "Embroidered Spring Sword" is left to me to dominate, I can also sell it at a similar price!

This is true. The country's films are in a downturn. Compared with Hollywood blockbusters, they are more willing to turn their attention to Chinese-language movies with relatively large investments. The buyout screening rights are not very expensive, and it is easy to obtain high profits!

……All right!

It seems that this sentence is true that you specialize in the arts!

In North America, I am going to find an agent to share the accounts according to the box office ratio; in Europe, there are fewer Nordic Chinese, so there may not be so many interested in "Huang Feihong"...

Do what you say, I will listen to you!

Paohui has been impressed...

Then you have a good rest. We will have a cocktail party tomorrow night. We must attend it at that time. I will recommend a few people to you...

……

Today's Cannes Film Festival is no longer the same. The entire world's film industry has been hit by Hollywood...

As the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, Jill Jacob began to make drastic reforms in the 1990s and introduced Hollywood films

Once this opening comes, commercial movies will be integrated into Cannes without hesitation

When commercial movies come, the market will shift. Cannes is now one of the largest film trading markets in the world.

Even one of this can be removed!

During the film festival, huge posters can be seen everywhere

Hollywood, which is business-first, will not miss any opportunity. "The Expendables" and "Toy Story 3" are two movies that have not been shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival competition unit, and also regard Cannes as the main promotional channel.

These people are also very good at premiere, exhibition, review, and film dealer meetings...

I always have the illusion of being in Los Angeles...

The most exaggerated one is "Iron Man 2". This film was built in Cannes' highest point, with huge posters erected, and you can see clearly in every corner...

At this time, would you still say that movies are art?

Let me add a breakdown: There are hundreds of film festivals around the world, and it will increase every year. But is the purpose of participating in film festivals really just to win awards?

How many movies participating in the film festival can really win awards?

The most reasonable reason to participate in a film festival is to build connections or make movie transactions!

This is also the main reason why the Beijing Film Festival is increasingly attracting a lot of people to participate...

……

The Chinese are rich!

The company spent 500,000 euros to create a luxurious cocktail party!

Filmmakers from all over the world, local French film companies, British films, See-Saw, German Studios, and of course a bunch of giants in the United States.

The list is nearly four hundred people!

Xu Hui was still wondering if it was too ostentatious, but Chen Jingshen only said, "Robin Hood" invited more than 800 people!"

Damn, they are all rich!

China has been in the WTO for almost ten years. I have learned about the character of foreigners and probably know what kind of drinks they like.

There must be no leader’s advice!

The welcome speech has been omitted and we will go directly to the topic!

The entire hotel lobby was contracted and arranged in the simplest buffet mode. There is a long table on the left and a few salons on the right, separated by bead curtains.

There was light music playing on site, soothing and beautiful. There were many people coming and going, but it was not crowded and in an orderly manner. The waiter walked around the crowd with a plate.

In the salon area, Xu Hui and Chen Jingshen were chatting with the person in charge of Columbia.

By the way, Columbia is probably the favorite thing in the United States to deal with Chinese-language movies.

Several movies by Zhang Yimou, Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" and even Wang Xiaoshuai's "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" in North America were handed over to them for distribution agents.

At the beginning, they also actively participated in the shooting of Chinese movies. For example, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was invested and produced by Colombia. Unfortunately, they lost a lot of money...

Xu, I don’t quite understand why their figures are different after changing their faces?

The person who spoke was Bill Burton, who was the boss in charge of the Columbia Film Company. He has been engaging in major film festivals all year round. He also participated in the "Kung Fu" in the first place...
