This director needs to apologize

Chapter 22 Film Festival Shen Pengfei

Time flies so fast in my busy life, and the seven-day National Day holiday has passed in the blink of an eye.

The preparation work before the test screening has been arranged, and the follow-up step is to urge all parties to step up follow-up.

Chen Yiming thought repeatedly about what else he could work on before it was released.

trailer?poster?The professionals from the Magic Shadow Factory are already working on it, and they are definitely better than him.

Offline promotion?Cinema advertising is followed up by the Magic Film Distribution Department.As for the city’s hard-to-reach?No money, say goodbye!
Interview?Recording a show?Tang and Song Film and Television took care of Lao Gu's itinerary.Director and heroine?Who knows who Chen Yiming and Lily Colin are!

Roadshow?Not to mention, for Chinese movies at this time, running more road shows will really help to increase the box office.However, the situation of "Holiday in Magic City" is special. Lao Gu's road show has been arranged to the test screening venue. As for the other people, who knows it?

After thinking about it, he always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't think of it.

He opened the web page and randomly found a portal to browse entertainment news, hoping to find some inspiration.

""Three Kingdoms - Red Cliff" will start shooting next month, and the choice of Zhou Yu is still confusing."

"Gong Rui talks about "Love to Death": I almost died once during the filming."

""Force 4" confirmed that all the cast members will come to China, and the premiere will be held in the National Day Auditorium."

"Jiang Shuai debuted at the Cairo Film Festival with his new film "Beyond the Mountain", hitting the Berlin Golden Bear for the second time."

Huh, wait!

Cairo Film Festival!

Chen Yiming beat his head and said that he was so stupid, how could he forget about the film festival.

I quickly opened Qiandu.com and searched wildly. Fortunately, there is a lot of information in this area. Someone has already compiled a monthly summary of film festivals around the world in a year.

He slid directly to the lower November.

Bilbao Documentary, Tehran International Short Film, Fukuoka Digital Imaging, Busan International Short Film Festival, Sheffield Documentary, Kassel Documentary Video, Turkey International Documentary.

Why are they either documentaries or short films? I checked the one in Fukuoka in detail and found that it was only held for the second year. It was a small-time manufacturer promoting its own digital cameras.

November was completely unfinished, and he continued to look at December.

If it's late, be late. If you buy a wave of news at the end of the screening period, you may be able to make a short V at the box office.

Polish Human Rights Film International Film Festival, passed.

Kathmandu International Alpine Film Festival, passed.

Dubai International Film Festival, Lily showed her arms in the movie, she cried!

Nut Latin Film Festival, why do you have to add the word Latin? Damn it!

Montreal International Film Festival, on hold.

Finally found a reliable one.

It seems that Chef Fan, the best actor in his previous life, came from Montreal. If I remember correctly, Gong Huang also seduce the best actress there.

It's perfect.

再一查时间，开幕式12月5日，颁奖礼12月13日，报名截止日期10月13日。

It's it!
Chen Yiming also saw the name of Xie Jing, the boss of Demon Shadow Factory, in the information.

The 1995th Best Director in 19, the 1997st Best Film in 21, what a celebrity!
Montreal is really a good friend to the people of Montreal!

He threw away the mouse and called Ma Yunteng.

The strong voice on the other end of the phone was muffled and had a bit of a tongue. He was either still drinking or still asleep.

Chen Yiming repeated it three times before Ma Yunteng understood the meaning. Unfortunately, director Xie Jing and Xie were completely out of his reach. He was so senior that Ma Erye couldn't even speak.

However, Ma Yunteng mentioned another person, the great master Lin Xiaolin, the third generation of the Demon Shadow Factory with Zheng Miaohong roots, and the elder in the family happened to be from Xie Jing's generation.

Chen Yiming called Lin Xiao without saying a word, and the latter was also unambiguous and immediately agreed to Chen Yiming's help in contacting him.

Before going to bed that night, Lin Xiao called and recommended another person to Chen Yiming.

Shen Pengfei, former overseas manager of Magic Film Studio, is now an independent filmmaker.

It is worth mentioning that she is also the film selector for the Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals in China. …

Friday, October 10, Phantom Studio Screening Room.

"Tonight I Celebrate My Love" sung by Lily is really unforgettable. Chen Yiming looked at the newly added cast and crew, compared the names on it, and recalled the vivid faces one by one.

"A very interesting movie, an unparalleled debut, congratulations!"

A voice from the side interrupted Chen Yiming's thoughts. He turned his head and smiled modestly.

"Thank you for your compliment. It is the debut work of many people and the culmination of the entire team."

Shen Pengfei has wild red curly hair, a long skirt, red lips, and a sky-high height. She doesn't look like someone over 50 at all.

After dialing Shen Pengfei's number, Chen Yiming explained his purpose straight to the point, and then invited the other party to watch a movie at the Magic Film Studio.

Perhaps Chen Yiming's unceremonious approach was just right for her, and Shen Pengfei happily went to the appointment.

After watching the movie, she was straightforward when talking about business.

"From the perspective of a film selector, I am very willing to participate in the "Holiday in Magic City" project, whether it is participating in overseas exhibitions or being released overseas."

"From a professional point of view, I have to say that choosing Montreal was a mistake in haste, and rashly running for the domestic schedule is putting the cart before the horse."

"If Director Chen can postpone the release, I can help run "Holiday" to go to Berlin in February next year, which is not too late."

Being able to appear on three major European stages with his debut film is an irresistible temptation for many new domestic directors.

However, Chen Yiming shook his head without any hesitation, "Thank you, Sister Shen. I still prefer to release it in November. I invite you here today to discuss signing up for Montreal. By the way, just call me Xiao Chen. Director Chen doesn't dare to do it." "

Although she was rejected, the smile on Shen Pengfei's face did not diminish, "No problem, the film selector in Montreal is an old friend of mine. As long as Director Chen gets the license from the Film Bureau, I can guarantee a green light all the way."

Chen Yiming smiled and complimented, "Who doesn't know that Sister Shen is a shining light for Chinese films to go overseas? Aren't you the one who helped organize director Xie Jingda's two award-winning films in Montreal?"

Shen Pengfei waved her hand and changed the subject, "Director Chen, how do you think about the overseas copyright of "Holiday in Magic"? Montreal is very close to Nuts, and there are many people buying movies. From my experience, "Holiday in Magic" will be very popular. An appetite for Hollywood.”

As for Shen Pengfei's judgment, Chen Yiming had just heard it.

It is true that "Roman Holiday" was produced by a major Hollywood studio, but changing it to "Holiday in Magic" may not necessarily meet the preferences of nutty audiences. First of all, a Chinese male protagonist is naturally unlikable.

Chen Yiming has always believed that when asking for help, one should be generous to the end, and when asking for help, one should give enough benefits, he said with sincerity.

"Sister Shen, I would like to invite you to serve as the overseas promotion consultant for the "Holiday in Magic City" project. You will be fully entrusted with the overseas exhibitions, overseas releases, and copyright operations of this film. In terms of sharing, please follow industry regulations. I will give you one more become."

Shen Pengfei, who had been sitting leaning back, suddenly straightened her back and put away the stylized smile on her face.

She stared into Chen Yiming's eyes and spoke slowly after 5 seconds.

"Director Chen is very courageous and quick to do things. I can trust Bo Jue. The overseas affairs of "Holiday in Magic City" will be taken care of by me."

……

Facts have proved that the extra [-]% given by Chen Yiming is worth every penny.

On October 10, "Holiday in Magic City" passed the content review of the Film Bureau and obtained the dragon mark allowing overseas exhibitions.

It was submitted for review on October 10nd and passed on the 2th. It was so magical.

After all, he is the biological son of Moying Group. Chen Yiming believes that it is possible to pass the review in half a month to three weeks, but winning the bid in 10 days is too exaggerated. Don’t forget that there is a National Day holiday in between.

The time saved in the middle is undoubtedly Shen Pengfei's role.

In order to support domestic films going global, there are many flexible policies within the film bureau, but whether they are used and whether they are used well depends entirely on each individual.

Shen Pengfei is obviously an expert among them. She not only worked hard to get the exhibition dragon mark, but also completed all registration preparations ahead of schedule with sparks and lightning.

On October 10th, Imperial time, and October 13th, North American time, just one day before the registration deadline, "Magic City Holiday" successfully caught the last train to Montreal.

The next day, entertainment news from major media outlets reported on the entries for this year's Montreal International Film Festival.

This has become a fixed program in the Chinese entertainment industry in October, just like the Oscar list in December, the Venice list in April, and the Cannes list in July.

Many media and movie fans were surprised to find that an unfamiliar name appeared on the list.

"Holiday in the Magic City" (China), directed by Chen Yiming (China), starring Guyuehe (China) and Lily-Collin (Nuts).
