Volume 889 Ultraman Stealing the Spotlight at the Tokyo Film Festival
That's because the Chinese are getting richer!
After China's economic take-off, it is accompanied by the willingness of the Chinese people who have made money.
I am willing to spend money on tickets, I am willing to pay to enter the theater for my beloved actors, and I am willing to pay the price of two bowls of noodles to support the cause of genuine Chinese movies.
And this booming film year has another nickname in the industry, which is called the first year of Qin Guan's five-year development plan.
This year, the snowflake-like invitations, the script of striking while the iron is hot, the rush of sponsors to raise prices, and the company's booming business have all become Qin Guan's help to forge ahead.
Now he is really in pain and happy.
Prolific actors just can't afford to be hurt. It's really an offending thing to be shortlisted for two films at a film festival at the same time.
Simply because of the request of the sponsors on the red carpet, Qin Guan planned to go alone.
For the sake of fairness and justice, I'm sorry, two directors, don't think about working hand in hand with me.
In fact, Hoh Xil, which was filmed in 2004, and If Love, which was released in 2005, should not have appeared in the Tokyo Film Festival in this year.
But who made those who applied for the award have some selfishness in their hearts.
Compared with the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards and the Hong Kong Film Awards, it is just a self-entertainment of Chinese-language movies.
The only 9a-level international film festival recognized by the world in Asia is held in Tokyo.
Although this film festival has only been held since 1985, the time is not long.
But in terms of its influence, it is not inferior to the three major film festivals in Europe in Asia. The directors of the film are very concerned about the results of the Tokyo Film Festival.
Even if the Tokyo Film Festival is held at the end of the year, unlike all other film festivals, it is doubtful that it will catch up with others.
However, the Busan Film Festival did not rise to prominence, and in 2006, when China's domestic film festivals were still below the international level, it was called a leading award in Asia, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Perhaps it was impacted by the Korean entertainment industry in his neighboring country. Even the Japanese entertainment industry, which has more prominent comic characters and higher post-production standards, has also felt a deep crisis.
In order not to be caught up, in order to maintain the high standard of the Tokyo Film Festival, the organizer of this year's Tokyo Film Festival really spent a lot of money.
No, in order to make the atmosphere on the red carpet more enthusiastic, let the media invited from all over the world experience the charm of the different Tokyo Film Festival.
A week before the festival kicks off, Tokyo's Roppongi is in full swing for its glamour.
By the time Qin Guan was fully armed and came out of the hotel arranged by the film festival, this night, which was getting dark quickly in winter, had already displayed its strange beauty under the illumination of neon lights.
The large notice board decorated with cartoons allows the star commercial vehicle carrying Qin Guan to find its driving direction according to the round arrows.
On the red carpet ahead, there were crowds of people and the lights were flickering. Before Qin Guan could see the edge of the red carpet, he had already seen other protagonists who had already stepped on the red carpet.
If Qin Guan's eyes as high as 5.1 are not mistaken, is he going to walk the red carpet with such a group of buddies?
Thinking of this, Qin Guan suddenly didn't want to get out of the car door very much. He even had an urge to ask the driver in front to turn the car around and let them go back to the hotel the same way.
But Wang Liying, who was sitting next to him, pulled his sleeve, pointed to the increasingly clear sponsor's sign and said to Qin Guan: "The length of the red carpet is only more than 20 meters, according to your normal pace." matter of minutes. '
‘The interview time in the front row will not exceed five minutes, and the filming time for the media will not exceed three minutes. '
‘Then you can enter the main venue of the Tokyo Film Festival Awards Ceremony, and just such a small process, several of our brand sponsors will pay us an additional $100,000. '
‘Are you going to go on this red carpet? '
'Walk! '
For this price, I have to leave even if I am shameless.
In fact, Qin Guan really misunderstood the Tokyo Film Festival. With Qin Guan's level, the position of the red carpet was arranged very high.
It is simply regarded as the leading figure in this film festival.
How can the organizer of the Tokyo Film Festival not treat the pride of this Asian actor preferentially.
Similarly, their arrangement is because they are afraid that there will be no heavyweight figures who can match Qin Guan's status.
It's like the person walking in front of Qin Guan is a movie star that everyone doesn't know, and the person walking behind is still unknown, so will everyone think that Tokyo is insulting Qin Guan, or that they don't pay much attention to Qin Guan?
Therefore, when arranging the order of the red carpet shows, the organizing committee of the entire Tokyo Film Festival racked their brains.
Then these Japanese people had a brainstorm and finally found a few stars who are also well-known in the world film industry to set up the atmosphere of the red carpet with Qin Guan.
This is really embarrassing for the Tokyo Film Festival, because the popularity of these characters, strictly speaking, is really much better than Qin Guan.
Didn't look, when Qin Guan's business car had slowly stopped in front of the red carpet, Altman, who was walking on the red carpet as required, had turned around, and together with the media on both sides began to expect Qin Guan to come out of the car. Appeared?
This may be a rare event at a 9a-level film festival where virtual characters and real stars walk the red carpet on the same stage.
This scene can only appear in Tokyo, a country rich in world-renowned manga characters.
That's right, Ultraman, this superhero who appears on the big screen or in comics, is the red carpet character arranged by the director of the film festival for Qin Guan.
In order to keep the atmosphere on the red carpet from being cold, Altman, who was halfway ahead, has already fired two invincible light waves.
At this moment, the door of Qin Guan's vehicle was finally pulled open from the inside. Wang Liying hid her figure in the car and asked in a low voice: 'We will meet in the venue later, is it suffering now? Think about the 25,000 Long March of the Red Army, let's go! '
Then, after Qin Guan got off the car, stood still, and got used to the flickering lights at night, the door was closed.
The commercial vehicle drove towards the backcourt without hesitation, leaving Qin Guan alone to bear the siege of the media from all directions.
Altman, who was shining silver in front of him, was gesturing to Qin Guan, who had just stepped on the carpet, with a gesture he didn't know.
This situation made Qin Guan suddenly feel a little inexplicably ashamed.
He was like a little monster that the opponent was about to defeat, and was robbed of all his charm by the person in front of him.
But after all, this is the red carpet of the film festival, not the carnival of the animation festival. Those foreign media finally found a normal person, so how could they easily let Qin Guan go?? (To be continued.)
