Chapter 172 Shanghai Film Festival
Shanghai Film Festival…
It gradually developed from the edge to the location where major companies compete to highlight the list.
In the past two years, with more and more companies participating in it, the Shanghai Film Festival can be said to be the largest social event in the mainland film industry!
More and more people are rushing to the game!
The so-called rushing people come to expand their connections - during the Shanghai Film Festival, there were a lot of banquets.
Mengxi Media will also have movie nights.
In addition, there are Huayi Night, Wanda Night, and Bona Night…
The banquet hall with a thousand people+ is often packed, which is an excellent opportunity to expand your network.
At the same time, many companies and projects are obtained here, and even competitors can be learned a lot.
As for the project?
It is unlikely to complete the project during the festival!
Many projects at the film festival have reached their intentions with other companies before participating in the film festival, and companies that enter the market later may encounter premiums.
Project venture capital videos…
Most of them are in the early stages of the project, only creative, roadshow PPT or script stage. At this time, you have to bear the two major risks of whether the film can be completed and the box office output. Even if there is a low-probability film that has the opportunity to be released, the box office performance of the films released in recent years is average.
Moreover, most of the venture capital projects participating in the Shanghai Film Festival are not mainstream projects, otherwise, they would have been obtained by all parties!
Shen Mengxi mainly came to participate in the industrial forum and pretended to be...
By the way, he was walking on the red carpet with Hot Bar - promoting "Nine Tails".
...
Rebar, Jin Chen, Peng Xiaoran and Yang Xiaomi are the four heroines of "Tiny Times".
Jin Chen, Peng Xiaoran and Yang Xiaomi all have their own affairs. They haven’t come to the Film Festival, so there is time for the hot bar.
She not only has "Nine Tails" but also "Tiny Times"...
After walking the red carpet twice, the second trip was "Nine Tails". Shen Mengxi asked her curiously: "How do you feel about "Tiny Times"?"
"…I can't say it well, but the shooting process is still quite fun."
"Are you a fan of Tiny Times?"
"I'm fine..."
"Then do you prefer Guo Jingming or Han Han?"
"I…"
It's a bit troublesome to the hot bar.
"Han Han may also be making a movie!"
"ah?"
"If you have any ideas, you can find Ning Hao. He has a good relationship with Han Han..."
“…Thank you, Mr. Shen.”
"What's there to thank for..."
While chatting and walking through the red carpet, the reporters from the interview area immediately gathered around:
“Has the Great Wall achieved expectations for the box office?”
"Of course, the world has exceeded 500 million US dollars..."
"What do you think of this result?"
"I'm pretty satisfied..."
"Just satisfied? Many people say that "The Great Wall" sets an unattainable record!"
"You underestimate the domestic film market too much. Although "The Great Wall" has temporarily won the box office championship, judging from the development speed of the domestic market, perhaps next year, there will be a movie that will break its record!"
After a pause, he added: "Even won more than $600 million in the domestic market!"
No one believes it...
Even if Shen Mengxi said, they were half-believing and half-doubting...
"Director Shen, when will "The Great Wall 2" be released?"
"It's about 15 years, the specific time depends on the progress..."
"Now Mengxi has four major series "Walking with God", "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Great Wall", and "Painted Skin". What will we develop next?"
"Of course it's a science fiction movie, "The Wandering Earth" is in the early preparations..."
After pulling the egg for a while, Chen Mengxi entered the venue, and Hot Bar went to the movie launch conference of "Tiny Times"...
...
The first forum theme was ‘Produce and invest in movies for world audiences’…
Chen Mengxi was specially invited by Ren Zhonglun to teach his experience...
He was the first to speak.
It is difficult to show off when speaking the first thing is to say, because there is no target, which is like a debate. Generally speaking, when you debate, you just say your own argument...
The second debater and the third debater refute based on the other party’s argument...
You start to refute after you debate, who do you refute?
Could it be that Senior Brother Xue Duanshuiliu directly fired the map cannon: "Everyone here is trash!"
"In fact, the types of movies that are popular around the world are very clear, such as blockbusters, high concepts, large special effects, and big investment!"
"From the beginning of the project "Great Wall", our core is to fight monsters on the Great Wall... and it will be around this point..."
"Mr. Ren wants me to tell you about my experience. In fact, when we started this project, we never thought that it would be so popular around the world!"
"If hindsight, a story between humans and monsters has no historical background requirements, no cultural differences between Chinese and Western countries, and has superb special effects, and is launched in the summer season, from a commercial perspective, it is acceptable to audiences around the world."
"But if you just do this, you can sell well around the world... I still don't believe it, so I came to the film festival to see what you have to say!"
"Don't tell me about big data. If big data is useful, why did "Golden Compass", "The Mavericks", and "Alien Battlefield" fail? Anyway, I always think that the movie is successful, and luck is very important in addition to the movie itself!"
"In addition, I would like to thank Wanda for this. AMC Cinema is the first mainstream theater company to sign a North American distribution contract with "Great Wall"..."
This is true. AMC Cinema first agreed, and then Junhao and Cinemark signed contracts one after another...
Then a group of people talked about co-production, capital and industrial upgrading...
Chen Mengxi listened to these people talking with a smile, but in his mind he was thinking about the unsuccessful Xi'an Film Festival...
What a pity that if Xi'an film energy conservation is achieved, he will be sure to grow it in five years and build the first theme park in Mengxi there.
Yu Dong suddenly said: "I think the co-production of Chinese and American films is now the mainstream, and it will form the mainstream, because the Chinese market is growing rapidly. I said that within five years, our box office will be 10 billion US dollars and the North American market will be 10 billion US dollars. In this way, the markets of the two places will inevitably form a large number of co-production films, and the filmmakers of the two countries will also form a huge fusion and exchange. Films about Chinese elements will appear in the mainstream Hollywood commercial films..."
Chen Mengxi didn't think about it and directly refuted: "You've thought too much. Hollywood is now popular with comics, and then it will be R-level action, crime, comedy, and Hollywood commercial films with Chinese elements will not be mainstream!"
"It's like Bona is listed in the United States. We think it's great, but in fact, Bona's market value has not reached one billion US dollars. Bronwood is planning to go public. Several major investment groups have given a market value estimate of $6.5 billion!"
"In addition, the Chinese market is not that attractive, and top directors cannot come to work. So what's the point of coming to be a part of the last seat?"
"Also, the American entertainment industry is changing, offline movies are gradually shifting to online. More than one person has told me that in the future, cinemas will only release blockbusters, and will be directly distributed online at low and medium costs!"
