Chapter 560 Internationalization again?

With Cheng Yu'an's current reputation, status and wealth, he still can't wholeheartedly film according to his own ideas.

There are a lot of events in the film industry. For "Legend of the White Fox", he pushed everything he could, but there were some events that he really couldn't push.

This year's Beijing International Film Festival, the Beijing government invited him by name: "You are busy with the opening and closing ceremonies, so forget it if you can't come. You must come to the film forum on the 17th and 18th."

With no other choice, Cheng Yu'an had no choice but to return to the capital from Hengdian.

Cheng Yu'an complained when he returned to the company: "It's not that there are no people in our company, why call me back, the crew has ten thousand things waiting for me."

Long-distance has a good relationship with major domestic film festivals, and new films will be announced at each film festival every year to cheer for the film festivals.

"The Beijing Film Festival started relatively late, and you need big names to support you, so you should do good deeds." Zhong Lifang said.

"Which films will be sent to venture capital this year?"

"I just prepared two films, "Charlotte's Annoyance" and "Extreme Profession". These two films were not very successful in attracting investment in the early stage, especially "Charlotte", from actors to directors, all newcomers in the film industry, plus In the past two years, comedy films have not sold well, and many investors are not optimistic about "Charlotte."

These two films ran in the First Youth Film Festival last year, but these two films did not meet the taste of First, which resulted in no investment.

It's not that Long-distance doesn't have the money to make these two films, but that movies are not played in this way.

Newcomers must be given the opportunity to exercise.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Liu Yifei was triumphant in front of her husband.

This should be the first time that Liu Yifei participated in a film forum with Cheng Yu'an as the guest of honor.

Today's forum is titled "The New Wave: Chinese Films Outside the Box Office Must Set the Rules of the Game".

It’s already 2014, why is it still in the new wave.

The French base camp doesn't talk about this anymore, what happened to Bay Island movies by the New Wave.

But the name is not important, the forum is still about the overseas and internationalization of Chinese films.

Yuan Yuan's overseas achievements are recognized by the industry, and Liu Yifei is the Chinese actor who has developed the best overseas in recent years, so he was naturally invited.

Regarding the topic of the world map of Chinese films, Yu Dong, President of Bernard Film Group, suggested three stages.The first step is to "sea push", dumping in large quantities, 2 units for 10 yuan: "Dump our inventory at a low price and cultivate buyers. There are 5000 products in the world a year, and China accounts for 10%. The second The first step is to participate in investment in films that have an impact on the world, and you are not afraid of soy sauce. Last year, "Iron Man" sold 13 billion US dollars, and the whole world knows Wang Xueqi."

As soon as Yu Dong finished speaking, Zhou Tiedong, the general manager of China Film Haitui, raised objections: "If your story is not good, if you sell it again, it will be for nothing."

Cheng Yu'an added another sentence: "Mr. Yu misunderstood. Wang Xueqi appeared in "Iron Man" for five seconds, and he just said 'Hello'. Foreigners don't know him."

Cheng Yu'an took the opportunity and said, "I've been looking at the topic of our forum today, "The World Map of Chinese Movies", and I've been wondering what the topic means. We have been making movies for so many years, and we have been calling for so many years to go to sea. , internationalization, but why hasn't it been done yet.

"Are you short of money? No, now the whole world knows that we are rich, especially Wanda," said Ye Ning, who was sitting on the sidelines. film practitioners. Since we are not short of money and people, why is internationalization still unsuccessful after decades of shouting?

"In the final analysis, culture is the embodiment of a country's comprehensive strength. Why can Hollywood dominate the world? It is because he is backed by the superpower of the United States. It is the hegemony of the dollar and his military hegemony. When the whole world is speaking Chinese, when the A-share market can become a barometer of the world economy, our films will be truly internationalized.

"We are here to talk about investment, Chinese stories, and how to make Chinese movies that the international market likes. In the final analysis, we are still behind Hollywood. Which of our companies can distribute them globally? Are you in Africa? Do you have a distribution branch? Can you enter Europe? Do you have an office in South America? How is the relationship with the local distributor? How many films can you supply each year for the partner to expand the market?"

Cheng Yu'an's words turned the tables of the entire forum upside down.

But these words set up a ladder for Wanda. In order to avoid embarrassment on the scene, Ye Ning quickly took over the words: "We, Wanda and Director Cheng have the same point of view on this point. To make a story, first do the channel, and your story will be released soon." If you can’t post it, how can you expect others to see it, and Hollywood to send it to you? They will be so kind? So we have acquired AMC and will continue to build overseas channels for Chinese films.” Wanda pretended again.

What the CEOs are talking about is a bit gunpowder. Although this topic is enough, the host quickly changed the topic to film shooting in order to prevent the bosses from getting angry at the scene, and asked Liu Yifei to talk about filming in China and Hollywood. the difference.

At the end of the forum, Zhou Tiedong announced that he would step down as the general manager of Haitui Company, and would serve as the senior vice president of Long-distance Media Group, the president of the overseas business department of Long-distance Film and Television, and be in charge of long-distance overseas distribution and investment business.

…………

"What's the matter with you," Liu Yifei blamed Cheng Yu'an when he got home at night, "It's so popular on the forum today."

Yu Dong was so choked by Cheng Yu'an and Ye Ning that he couldn't speak, and his face was a bit ugly.

Afterwards, Cheng Yu'an also felt that it was not good to be so choked on Yu Dong, and at the dinner later, he deliberately said a few nice words.

Cheng Yu'an changed her clothes at home.

"Don't throw your clothes around, who has the time to clean them up for you." Liu Yifei hung up his clothes.

Cheng Yu'an went into the kitchen by himself: "Maybe the crew has too much to do, it's messy, it's annoying."

"Honey, help me unzip the zipper." Liu Yifei wore a white tube top dress to participate in the event today.

Cheng Yu'an went back to the cloakroom to undress her again: "The old fritters of the production team refused to accept Guo Fan, and the special effects were troublesome. Guo Fan has been swearing at people while filming these days, and he has to drink two or two to fall asleep every day. It's okay when I'm here. , I just need to be distracted, the crew may have a big mess, and the crew will definitely be even more chaotic in the few days after I return to the capital."

After taking off the dress for Liu Yifei, she took off the RT again, and changed into a T-shirt and shorts in a vacuum: "Ah, finally liberated."

Cheng Yu'an went back to the kitchen to fiddle with food: "I didn't eat enough at the dinner party, do you want to eat?"

"What to eat?"

"If you don't feel like having a big meal at night, let's cook some porridge and have some appetizing side dishes. Your appetite is a little poor these days."

"Okay." Liu Yifei lay on the sofa with her legs crossed and played with her mobile phone, waiting for her husband to cook.
