Chapter 32 Newcomer Film Festival (6/8)
As celebrities, no matter what you do, there are black fans!
Unless you are RMB...
The RMB is not good either. Many people dislike the color of a RMB that is not as good as a hundred yuan.
Liu Yifei has a lot of black fans
Especially when he starred in "Inception", he was scolded by many people and ruined the movie!
It's very strange that a bunch of people left messages saying that they were not used to seeing Asian faces...
If you are not used to it, you have to change it!
The same is true for "Carol". Those who like her will say "bring glory to the country". Those who are unhappy will say "I have lost my luck" or "I have good kung fu, so I will be comfortable serving investors!"
Well, there is nothing wrong with the last sentence!
This is the problem!
Many of her works were invested by Chen Mengxi...
This is called a funding group...
In the United States, many celebrities’ fans said that Liu Yifei had squeezed away their idol’s opportunities. Some people in China said that…
Is this necessary?
There is a financial backer behind him, so what can I be jealous of?
She was not involved in the bad movie...
Young ladies usually ignore these black fans, not because they are psychologically strong, but because they are selective.
Chen Mengxi looked at the black fan's answer and thought a lot in his mind...
In fact, the life cycle of the actor industry is relatively short. From showing off to becoming famous, to being unwilling to being unwilling to being interested, it usually takes about 15 years. The decisive role is not the actors themselves, but the aesthetic orientation of the young people in society!
You are like Chen Chong, Zhang Yu, Siqin Gaowa, and Liu Xiaoqing back then, so popular!
Four golden flowers!
Every actor has his own golden period…
This is even more true for actresses. Now many people don’t know how awesome the four actresses back then were. They were chasing Yu Shuxin and Xu Jiaqi…
Do you... know each other?
"What are you questioning? Are you as good as her?"
That black fan didn't say anything...
It probably means following the rhythm and making a black wave.
...
The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
I took a taxi and went straight to the villa.
"Los Angeles Newcomer Film Festival? What is this?"
“Sunset Gole Studio is responsible for the hosting…”
Seeing that the young lady didn't understand, Chen Mengxi simply explained more specifically: "Sunset Goll Studio is a top screenwriter studio, and Jason Bren was also a member of it before. Jason told me that the Newcomer Film Festival broadcasts 6 to 12 movies per month, so each movie will receive exclusive attention. Well-known publishers such as Weinstein, Disney, Paramount and Cohen Media Group also participated in the festival. The purpose of the festival is to provide assistance to more than 1,500 domestic and international distribution representatives, which is why 80% of the films screened in NFMLA will be selected for distribution."
“…Don’t we have a partner?”
"But "Donkey Gets Water" and "Piano of Steel" do not sell their genes, so it is best to use the film festival to make some names..."
"Okay, I get it..."
Liu Yifei nodded and probably understood the key points of Chen Mengxi.
Sell copyright!
She also wanted to ask why she didn't go to Cannes...
Why not go to Cannes?
Because of the Asian copyright, Mengxi can develop it himself, and Europe has the copyright to Constantine Pictures...
I came to participate in the Newcomer Film Festival mainly to sell American copyrights.
At the Newcomer Film Festival, they are basically American film dealers - they love to come to this place because they serve two meals for free...
To put it in, Chen Mengxi has been very close to Germany's Constantine Pictures recently.
How to get close to it?
I have absorbed more than 60 million euros and am preparing to shoot several Sino-German co-productions...
It's true, not the Painting Cake. Mengxi Company bought the copyright of "Knocking on the Gate of Heaven". In addition, it is preparing to film "Fake Captain" and "Who Am I: There is no absolutely safe system"...
Chen Mengxi turned on the TV and watched "Spartacus"...
Very... energetic!
Every episode is a big scale!
Chen Mengxi had heard of this drama before, saying that it was pornographic and violent, so he clicked on the first episode with a critical attitude, and then forgot to click Fast forward...
Leaving the low-level fun...
The people who watched it were excited!
It was boiling, Liu Yifei took a shower and walked out with his slippers. He was about to complain about the water temperature, but glanced at the TV screen and was in a bad mood: "You... are you actually watching the adult station?"
"…What adult station? This is Starz TV, which is as famous as HBO. The "Spring and Autumn of the Temple" produced by us is also broadcast on this TV station!"
"Then what do you think they are doing?"
"The woman has too much water, the man helps her with water..."
"Pooh…"
"What's wrong with this? Starz TV has been very restrained. "Black Eat Black" broadcast by Cinemax and "Female Fatale" are called big scale!"
"Then... are the ratings high?"
Chen Mengxi shook his head: "Large scale is just a gimmick. If you hit the scale, can you have a series of films in the San Fernando Valley? The series emphasizes content, picture matching, and emotional indoctrination. This is a real good drama."
"…never mind…"
The young lady threw off her shoes and pushed them to Chen Mengxi very skillfully, preparing to give him a confused look...
"Wait, watch this episode first..."
"What's so good about it? Don't you dislike white girls?"
"I'm watching the plot... Forget it, come on!"
Lying flat and doing what tools should do!
...
Thomas Toul also came to the Newcomer Film Festival.
Of course, his purpose is not to buy any copyright, or simply to find Chen Mengxi to talk about "The Great Wall"...
He still valued this project quite seriously, and the director chose it: Edward Zwick.
His representative works "The Years of Love" and "The Last Samurai".
The script was originally written by Edward Zwick. In the script, four so-called Chinese elements were piled up in a traditional Hollywood monster fighting story: gunpowder, the Great Wall, Taotie and the Secret Force.
In other words, his positioning of the movie "Great Wall" is just another blockbuster movie of Legend Pictures, similar to "Warcraft" and "The Battle of the Gods", and it is feasible to replace the background of the Great Wall, and the story takes place anywhere in the world.
Why look for Chen Mengxi?
I just want to use his distribution capabilities in China...
Chen Mengxi mentioned that the script was weak, and Thomas Toul waved his hand: You can make your own decisions and revisions!
Everything can be called to make the decision for Chen Mengxi, after all, he has this ability...
The problem is here, Chen Mengxi is going to serve as director!
This is absolutely not possible, the reason is very simple: he has no experience in this area...
Even if Thomas Tooer agrees, he can't convince other investors - Legend Pictures' funds mostly come from Wall Street...
Chen Mengxi is not a mainstream director…
No relevant directorial experience either.
Just like Guo Fan filmed "The Wandering Earth", who knows that he can make it like that?
Guo Fan’s last movie is called “You, My Deskmate”, and it’s not next to you at all!
Thomas still wants to persuade Chen Mengxi to give up...
Chapter completed!
