The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 48 Leaving Chen Jingxing on the Ship of Huanshiwang

"Director Chen, it seems that you are very confident in movies." Ren Bowei was a little surprised.

Chen Jingxing replied with a smile: "I'm not particularly confident, but even if I can't win the prize or even enter the main competition unit, it won't affect the use of this as a publicity gimmick?"

Everyone knows, it seems that Director Chen Da has tasted the sweetness of "Comet", and wants to copy it again.

"And I think there is still a high probability of entering the main competition unit with the quality of "Fatal Identity". After all, there are more than 12 films that have been shortlisted for the main competition unit in the past." Competition unit, we will get a good exposure in the mainstream entertainment media in North America, and this is definitely a high-quality ammunition for publicity in China.”

Zhang Jingyan on the side nodded frequently, this reason is not difficult to understand.

In China, non-competition units that have been shortlisted for the three major European film festivals can publish a lot of drafts, and even trigger mainstream media reports. Walking on the red carpet can even be listed on the hot search, let alone being shortlisted for the main competition. Even CCTV has to report on it, and the draft can sweep the entire Internet. Once it wins, it will be explosive news, enough to spark discussions on Weibo and sweep the forums.

Not to mention that in the publicity and distribution stage before the movie is released, the awards of the three major film festivals are even more prestigious, surpassing the tens of millions of publicity and distribution costs.

Of course, the Orlando Fantastic Film Festival is not comparable to the three major European film festivals in terms of status or weight.

But status and commercial influence are two different things.

In terms of commercial influence, apart from Cannes, the exposure and influence of Venice and Berlin are not as good as those of Orlando.

In front of the Orlando Fantastic Film Festival, there is the Orlando International Comic Con, the Orlando Comic Con, the San Diego Comic Con, and the New York Comic Con, which are also known as the three major North American Comic Cons.

It can be said that the Orlando Film Festival is not just a film festival, it is the integration of the Orlando Comic Con, the Fantastic Film Festival and the largest film trading market in North America.

Moreover, new superhero films are screened at the Orlando Film Festival almost every year. For example, "Justice League III", which was scheduled for early 2014, has announced that it will be screened on a small scale at this year's Orlando Fantastic Film Festival.

Coupled with the media advantages inherent in the United States and the blessing of Hollywood film and television culture, in North America, the Orlando Film Festival is now the film awards event with commercial influence second only to the Oscars and Golden Globes.

In the world, the Orlando Fantastic Film Festival can almost be regarded as a film event with commercial influence second only to the Cannes Film Festival in France. Coincidentally, these two are the best commercialized film festivals. One is European film festival. It is also the largest film trading market in the world, and one is the largest film trading market in North America.

In China, the influence of the Orlando Film Festival has also increased year by year. In recent years, some fantasy and sci-fi movies from Japan and South Korea will go to Orlando before their official release. Wide distribution in East Asian countries.

Even many animated films of RB will participate in the screening and awards of the Orlando Film Festival in recent years. China's commercial influence and exposure have already surpassed Cannes. Of course, Cannes's force, fashion and awards are still incomparable to Orlando. It can only be said that the industry looks at the top three in Europe, anime and science fiction fans and join in the fun The onlookers watch Orlando.

"Once he is really shortlisted for the main competition unit, Luochen's recent predicament will have an opportunity to be resolved." Zhang Jingyan murmured.

Being shortlisted for the main competition unit, not only Huanshi.com will be able to promote it vigorously, but the film's main creative team will also be able to go around the red carpet in Orlando, shoot magazines, post beautiful pictures, and beautiful photos on the red carpet. Search it.

Even if you do not enter the main competition unit, but are shortlisted for the non-competition screening unit, you can still receive an invitation letter, and you can also go to the red carpet, but there is a risk of attracting complaints and ridicule.

Luo Chen's online public opinion has recently encountered water retrograde. Even if the movie is finished, it is as quiet as a chicken. According to the original estimate, at least he should keep a low profile until the movie is released. If he can be shortlisted for the Orlando competition, it will be a rare opportunity for exposure.

After all, it's not that Luo Chen doesn't want to be high-profile, but that he can't be high-profile now. The network stampede caused by the contract turmoil has just subsided, and if he doesn't grasp the scale, it may trigger another round of ridicule and attacks. And the work was shortlisted for the film festival and became popular as the leading actor Blanket is a matter of course, this is an opportunity to be exposed aboveboard, and it can also reverse the recent wind reviews. Fans who have been trampled by the Internet and made them quiet like chickens can rise again at this time and blow the east wind again.

Ren Bowei and some executives thought about this. Huaguo movies, especially mainland movies, have always been better than commercial ones. Literary and artistic films can often go to the top three in Europe, and there is no shortage of gains. Commercial films are somewhat difficult to sell internationally. , This is why Ren Bowei and others did not immediately think of participating in the Orlando Film Festival.

If it is an art film, Huanshi.com has long thought about going abroad to participate in a film festival or creating an overseas award exclusively for China. The three major European films are not enough, and there are many other film festivals.

However, these two films of Huanshi.com are commercial films, and the thinking of the executives of Huanshi.com is restricted. In addition, the film has not been shot before the film is completed. Ok, so I didn't think about it at all.

And now that after watching the movie, all the executives have confidence in the quality of the movie. As soon as Chen Jingxing proposed it, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this proposal was wonderful!And there is a lot to do!

After recovering, Ren Bowei hurriedly asked: "The film festival will open on December 12, is it too late to sign up?"

Chen Jingxing had already prepared: "The deadline for submission is the 8th."

"There are still 4 days before the deadline, Mr. Kang, let the translation team put down other work and concentrate on translating "Fatal Identity" in these two days!" Ren Bowei gave orders immediately without the slightest hesitation.

Huanshi.com will buy the copyrights of many foreign movies, and has also participated in the production of many idol dramas. Huaguo’s idol dramas can still be exported abroad, whether it is the English-Chinese translation of foreign movies or the Chinese-English translation of some movies and TV series. Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese, all of which require a dedicated translation team.

"The original distribution plan of "Fatal Identity" has been finalized. If we want to participate in the film festival, we have to reschedule." Kang Hua is also a little excited.

Zhang Jingyan immediately said: "It was originally arranged that Director Chen would record an entertainment news program for Huanshiwang the day after tomorrow, as well as two variety shows that were basically finalized, the cover shoot of "Harper's Bazaar Men", and a road show that will start in the second half of the year."

Ren Bowei asked Chen Jingxing for his opinion: "Director Chen, the recording of the program the day after tomorrow will be canceled first. If you can be shortlisted, if the two scheduled variety shows are recorded before the opening of the film festival, I will trouble you to bring the main creative team to participate. one time."

Turning to Zhang Jingyan again: "If there is a conflict, then talk to them. We can arrange other stars to fill in. If it doesn't work, there is no other way. It seems that the road show can only be discussed after the movie is released."

"There is no need for these messy interviews. After being shortlisted for the film festival, we will send a special interview team to go directly to Orlando for on-site interviews."

Chen Jingxing said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, I think you have more confidence in this movie than I do? Don't be disappointed if there is no movie in the end."

Ren Bowei laughed: "Director Chen, before today, I may only have [-]% confidence at most. After watching the movie, I have [-]% confidence now."

"Okay, everyone hurry back to work, Mr. Zhang, you and I will send off Director Chen together."

"President Ren is too polite."

They greeted each other downstairs and watched Chen Jingxing drive away. Ren Bowei sighed: "This young man is amazing."

"Mr. Zhang, you continue to test him about buying shares in DreamWorks. Didn't Xu Wenshen also come from Donghai Satellite TV? You are also considered ex-colleagues. Do his work and let him make more insinuations. I can sit down and pay back the money.”

Zhang Jingyan was a little surprised: "Mr. Ren, do you think DreamWorks' valuation will increase significantly in the future?"

Ren Bowei shook his head: "It's not a question of valuation, it's a question of whether we can keep him on the boat of Huanshiwang."
