Chapter 482 The Shanghai International Film Festival Opens
In fact, except for a few buddies in the dormitory and Qin Wen, Xudong's relationship with other students in the class is just like that...
We can’t say we are strangers, but we can’t even talk about friendship!
It's normal. He started taking scripts under the leadership of his brothers in his freshman year, and his network of contacts is relatively stable...
Difference between closeness and distance is normal.
Although everyone is very polite on the face of it, secretly they don’t know how to arrange it...
Shen Xudong knows this very well...
Everyone is engaged in literary work, and can barely be considered a literati...
Literary men look down upon each other!
The field of literature and art is not like science and engineering where you can rely on formulas and data to decide the outcome.
Wen Wu was No. 1 and was easily defeated.
In the eyes of many classmates, Shen Xudong is just lucky and got the big shot...
However, everyone was still quite reluctant to leave after dinner...
After all, graduation means that some partings mean goodbye forever, some goodbyes mean not seeing each other, and some cherishing means that we will truly forget each other from now on.
Shen Xudong was also a little sad and drank three glasses of wine...
…
Ning Hao has no idea about the promotion of "Crazy Stone"...or he has no idea about commercial movies.
He used to make art films!
Well, actually, he doesn’t quite understand the money-making logic of literary films...
He can be regarded as an outsider entering the industry - his first film "Incense" was shot and edited, and he didn't know what to do. Then the photographer introduced him to a Hong Kong film selector, and then "Incense" was Brought to Locarno Film Festival…
Then I won the first place at the FILMeX (International) Film Festival in Tokyo.
There is a bonus, it seems to be ten thousand US dollars...
Not much, just think about it!
When you enter the film festival channel, there will be a lot of money for you to film. According to Ning Hao's words, 'I remember that there were institutions in France and also institutions in Taiwan, China. With an investment of 8 million to 10 million, you would Then I made literary films and art films. ’
The film festival channel is to participate in various film festivals, slowly accumulate reputation, and then sell the copyright...
The logic of literary and artistic films is different from that of commercial films.
The most important thing for commercial films is market feedback. How to do it in the domestic market?
Propaganda means shouting!
And it has to be a famous person shouting...
He felt it was quite strange. Apparently the movie was only shown internally for one round, and then a bunch of celebrities helped repost it on blogs and praised it.
This is called online publicity with the help of celebrity influence...
Although it’s not very reliable, it’s better than nothing!
The publicity work for "Stone": poster laying and trailer placement are all completed.
There are not many celebrities, and no one wants to appear on variety shows!
Therefore, the real effort depends on the film festival and the official release of the movie...
When Ning Hao met Shen Xudong, the latter was surrounded by a group of media.
Recently, news about "Little Miss Sunshine" has also spread back to China. The work written by Shen Xudong...
""Little Miss Sunshine" is an R-rated family comedy. This subject matter is difficult to develop in China, so after I finished writing it, I gave it to Weinstein Pictures...The main thing is that I wanted Harvey to help "Carol" 》Do public relations!”
"...Harvey Weinstein has a strong ability to win the Olympics. He made "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan" and won the Oscar for Best Picture. He also won an Oscar. The most beautiful queen..."
“The Oscars rely on public relations?”
"How novel. When Harvey publicized "Shakespeare in Love", he spent 5 million US dollars to bribe a large number of Academy members to lobby for him. He even violated Oscar regulations and held a private party to invite many judges to the scene. When faced with accusations, he The quibble is that these judges just happened to be there. Last year, "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" were both ranked as the two major seed contestants, but "Brokeback Mountain" was more popular, almost sweeping the Sentinel Awards, and even won the Producers Guild's highest award. Best Picture Award...but ultimately lost to "Crash". If you want to report something new, go check the Oscar PR strategy of "Crash" yourself..."
"Can "Carol" win an award?"
"I didn't know that you guys are after Oscars... I'll find a way to get it... Even if I can't get it, I still have to get a few nominations... Okay, I'm here to attend the Shanghai International Film Festival... Oh, Ning Hao is here!"
Shen Xudong dragged Ning Hao over and said to the media: "Hurry up and find a way to interview him, the screenwriter and director of "Crazy Stone". I said, after "The Stone" is released, he will become the youngest billionaire." Box Office Club Director…”
Shen Xudong said so, the media... Even if they don't believe it, they still have to give face to surround Ning Hao...
…
Ning Hao was very funny when he first debuted. He answered everything asked. For example, if he could pass the trial, he said, "Everyone should be treated equally. If criminal movies are to be banned, some legal programs on TV stations also "induce and encourage people to imitate crimes." Suspicious behavior", shouldn't it be broadcast? ’
Professor Huang Shixian of the Film School criticized "The Stone" as a farce and said that young directors should make literary films first before commercial films. He replied, "I have already made two literary films..."
He even said, "Brother Chen Kai reached his peak in "Farewell My Concubine". But then he was isolated and there was no one around him who told the truth. So, marry a good wife...'
Later...he started to lie, ""Crazy Aliens" is my best movie! ’
Okay?
It is a pure comedy, mixed with black humor. It is not a real science fiction movie. According to the jargon, it is just dressed in the clothes of science fiction...
Bringing it back, the Shanghai International Film Festival has actually become a Chinese film show. Every June, major film and television companies will come to Shanghai with their upcoming new films, using the Shanghai International Film Festival as a promotional position to kick off the film schedule in the second half of the year.
A bunch of celebrities also want to compete for beauty... hoping to make entertainment headlines or something.
Huayi brought "The Night Banquet", Bona brought "Hurt City", Tianmei Media Gao Fenfen personally led the team, and produced three movies: "Crazy Stone", "The Tailor", and "Manslaughter"...
"The Tailor" is scheduled to be released on August 14th. Although it is a Hollywood blockbuster at the same time, it is an animated film.
Shen Xudong walked the red carpet three times...
He himself doesn't care, Jackie Chan is here anyway - to promote "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" and "Baby Project".
With Jackie Chan here, unless Shen Xudong's naked body is naked, it will be impossible to grab the headlines!
Li Min, Feng Xiaogang, Xu Ke, Du Qifeng and Andy Lau are all here. With so many people, when comparing teachers, Shen Xudong is the younger brother!
Why should I give you headlines?
By the way, Gong Li is also here, and by the way, Zhou Runfa is promoting "The Golden Armor"...
It's quite surprising that Zhang Weiping actually likes such a small scene at the film festival?
Haha, Zhang Weiping is also under a lot of pressure. The competition in the Lunar New Year slot this year is too fierce. In addition to "Manslaughter" and "Hurt City", there are also "Yun Shui Yao" and "Gate"...
It is said that "Mo Gong" will also be squeezed into the Lunar New Year slot!
Even with Ah Mou's trump card in hand, Zhang Weiping was a little nervous.
