Chapter 264 Speaking is an Art (4/4)
Just talking about such an important occasion, how could the first person to speak is the municipal radio and television department? It turns out that he is warming up...
"Wow!"
After the applause, Mayor Lu, the highest-level leader who attended today, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am an amateur in film and television. I came here to listen to opinions today, so I won't say much, you can continue."
"Ha, Mayor Lu means that professional things should be left to professionals. OK, then we have to invite Han Shanping, chairman of China Film Group, to speak."
Director Li smiled.
The host did a good job!
The third master sat in his original position and said seriously: "Of course the film festival must be held, and it must be held well. Why? I said a set of data. Last year, the total box office of Chinese movies in China was..."
...
After the third master finished speaking, he was a few more representatives of the association, and it was Tong Gang's turn to finish the meeting...
In short, it's just a saying, "We will do our best to host the Beijing Film Festival"...
Zhang Junsheng was a little bored sitting behind...
To be honest, he really doesn't know what the "Beijing Film Festival" has to do with him, and he doesn't expect the Beijing Film Festival to make money...
I guess this time I asked him and Lao Tang to come here to listen.
To be honest, it is embarrassing whether it is the Beijing Film Festival, but the time choice is very problematic!
Next to the Berlin Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival opened less than half a month later.
Not to mention international masters, even many of our own filmmakers don’t take it in their hearts.
In fact, in recent years, the whole world has faced a problem: few good movies are too small, and the masters are withering...
The competition film festival, led by the three major European exhibitions, has been operating for at least ten years and is the promoter and beneficiary of the prosperous period of art films in the last century.
The three major exhibitions each year seem to be glorious, but in fact, they have spent a lot of effort to get a good film to participate in the competition, competing for favors and conditions...
The most important thing is the film festival’s attitude towards the movie. Just ask, those existing masters, Woody Allen, why should he come to Beijing?
Why should I bring my works to the Beijing Film Festival?
Woody Allen is probably the director Zhang Junsheng admires the most. Mr. Woody used his life to tell the younger filmmakers that if you want to keep a vigorous creative rhythm and have new works released every year, then you will definitely have many lovers... or even goddaughter.
In the field of art, the Muse is the infinite source of inspiration for creators.
The collision of film directors and actresses is the responsibility and obligations given by society...
In this era, people have too high requirements for entertainment stars. Think about Bergman, lustful, indifferent, and old bastard, which is another label he has outside the movie...
By the way, how did Cannes develop at that time?
There is Berlin in front and Venice in the back...
Well, it is said that in order to attract attention, I found a lot of love and sex movies, so I just set up a "love and sex movie exhibition": all my thighs, butts and chests...
Then, the whole of Cannes became popular all of a sudden!
To be honest, if the Beijing Film Festival opens the "third-level film screening", Zhang Junsheng doesn't mind making a high-quality "Feng Yue Tale"...
"…Come on, please invite Mr. Zhang Junsheng to speak!"
"Crazy..."
Accompanied by the applause, a group of people turned their heads curiously and looked at Zhang Junsheng seriously...
How to say it, Zhang Junsheng is very famous, but he rarely appears in public, and these people have never seen him.
Most of them have the idea of "It turns out that he looks like this"...
‘What does this horse-drawn person have to do with me?’
‘I just come here to make some soy sauce…’
I was a little helpless, but I was named, so of course I had to stand up: "...I actually came to learn, but since I asked me to speak, I will say a few simple words..."
While talking, you can quickly run your brain. You must not lose your links at this time!
If you speak too shallowly, you will not be able to speak too deeply...
Never make nonsense, be honest!
...
"I have been in Hollywood for a few years and I roughly understand what foreigners think about Chinese movies and the Chinese film market!"
"When foreigners mentioned the Chinese market, they immediately gave a thumbs up, which shows that it is recognized that our market is vast, but, in contrast, it is difficult for our movies to go out..."
"No, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a very good overseas box office!"
"…It's different. In addition to the novel theme, the main reason why "A Chinese Ghost Story" can be sold well is that it is good at marketing, and it is a co-production film, and the source of funds is mainly from the global aspect!"
Another point is that the movie is very erotic. The more erotic it is, the more worldly it is!
"That... "Hero"..."
"The global sales of "Heroes" are also because Miramax, the largest independent film company in Hollywood, is behind the push!"
No one spoke, Zhang Junsheng continued: "In fact, not only Chinese movies, but also East Asian cultures are relatively independent. Comparing Korea and Japan, we can conclude that Chinese-language films have a lower position in the whole world."
"But we have the biggest advantage, the market. According to statistics, at most two years, we will become the second largest market in the world. Why can the Toronto Film Festival be done? It is because it is backed by the North American film market..."
"Why did Cannes become the most famous film festival in Europe? It is also because of the market's blessing!"
"The Beijing Film Festival has the national resources of the China Film Archives and the natural advantages of Chinese and foreign art film screenings, ticket prices, film sources, venues and other conditions. I believe the Beijing Film Festival will definitely be successfully held!"
In fact, Zhang Junsheng wanted to say that we can learn to go to the film festival...
After all, the Shanghai Film Festival has done a great job in recent years. I no longer focus on being big and comprehensive. I just focus on three points of "Asian, Chinese, and newcomers" and have gradually turned these three characteristics into reality in recent years.
Nowadays, the Shanghai Film Festival is no less than the Busan Film Festival and the Tokyo Film Festival…
This is also the reason why so many filmmakers are willing to attend the film festival every year.
But the reason why the Beijing Film Festival is held is of course that it has the idea of surpassing the Shanghai Film Festival.
Want to study at the Film Festival?
What to learn?
In fact, "blockbusters" and "big names" are two crucial factors that affect the quality of the film festival.
How many new films are premiering worldwide and how many top films with international popularity are important dimensions to measure whether a film festival has influence.
The Beijing Film Festival is just between Berlin and Cannes…
Most of the excellent films that were too late to participate in the Berlin Film Festival are aiming at Cannes...
How the Beijing Film Festival breaks through and attracts everyone is a problem.
Of course, this question has nothing to do with Zhang Junsheng. He only knows that there is no problem with his speech. Although it means he has said nothing, he at least pointed out the problem, which is much more profound than what those who said just now!
In fact, even if he said it, what can it do?
As a director said: 'In my opinion, an important purpose of holding an international film festival is to show the prosperity of the national radio and film industry, further innovate concepts, use technological power to integrate into Chinese films, create a film artistic conception, form a grand momentum and strong emotional appeal, and create a film carnival with audio-visual feast and international standards!'
