At the film festival, the guests are of course very important.

The higher the status of the person who comes, the more it can represent the film festival’s style!

The Shanghai Film Festival has developed quite well in recent years!

The organizer has changed his positioning, and it is no longer the previous "Chinese movies going to the world" but the "based on Asia, pay attention to Chinese, and support newcomers"!

This positioning is very accurate.

There are three A-Class film festivals in Asia, Shanghai, New Delhi, and Tokyo;

The Tokyo Film Festival is still the leader, but the development momentum of the Shanghai Film Festival is very good. The Chinese market is so attractive. The Shanghai Film Festival can invite many Hollywood bigwigs or international directors to take charge every year.

The New Delhi Film Festival is a bit weird and has a special year. It really has no value, and it is difficult to enter the Indian film market!

Hollywood has hit a lot of walls, let alone other Asian countries.

Let me tell you about the data. Hollywood movies account for a very small proportion of the Indian market, accounting for less than 10% of the entire market...

They have Bollywood, which releases more than 1,000 movies every year, and they are produced and sold by themselves, and are very satisfied.

Judging from the development momentum of the Shanghai Film Festival, there is a great chance to go from Class A 3 to Class A 2, and follow Moscow, San Sebastian and Logano!

But its ceiling is just like this, because the main competition unit is useless. Even if you win the Golden Gogh Award, you cannot be released in the mainland. You have to leave it to the review department to take a look first. In addition, the trading market is useless. The film dealer brought the film over, set up a stall, and wanted to sell it. Then the organizer said: Sorry, we can't release your movie here, you can only buy Chinese movies and play them...

At least there must be buying and selling, you can only buy, not sell. If this continues, who is willing to come over?

The impression of a new foreign director or a director with average reputation in the film festival is: I brought my film, played two shows, and then ate a small bun, and I got out of here...

There is no substantial progress, no commercial communication, and even artistic communication is evident.

So what is my purpose?

Therefore, although the Shanghai Film Festival is very popular every year, the big shots, new directors, markets, and audiences in the entire film festival industry are completely broken.

The red carpet was in full swing. The new director who participated in the Golden Goblet Awards not only did not get any benefits, but also had to endure that the subtitles were not strong when the film was screened, and the audience walked around and spoke loudly.

I feel uncomfortable seeing my work being ruined so much!

A young film festival needs a new director, because you can never get the three major ones. Only when the people you cultivate yourself in the film festival become masters will others gradually recognize the level of a film festival.

"Do you know why I'm angry?"

"The tickets for the premiere of "The Great Wall" actually experienced ticketing disorders. It has been so many years since the whole of Songjiang, and there is not even a well-known website, and there is not a successful private enterprise...

The ideal of many locals is to join a world-class 500 foreigners to become a white-collar worker, pretending to be a "high-end Chinese" among relatives and friends. In recent years, Songjiang has actually done nothing except finance and real estate business.

The host looked at the organizer's direction and continued to talk about the process: "…How can Chinese movies enter the North American market?"

"The whole world is staring at the Chinese market. Your problem is completely putting the cart before the horse. Hollywood is thinking about how to seize the domestic market every day..."

Ren Zhonglun of Shanghai Film Group interrupted: "But, culture is always about to come out!"

Facing Ren Zhonglun, Zhang Junsheng's tone improved a lot: "...Yes, I also agree with going out, but to be honest, East Asian culture completely separates the entire West, and the East Asian cultural circle is an independent civilization. This is influenced by historical factors. Even the film master Akira Kurosawa, his movies cannot be sold in North America!"

"Then your movie?"

"I'm just lucky. "A Chinese Ghost Story" just satisfies North American audiences' demand for Eastern aesthetics, but "Crazy Stone" sold very poorly. It didn't sell for $20 million in the United States, but it was still on the premise of spending $8 million to promote it!"

“…The Great Earthquake sold very well…”

"That's a disaster film, it's a scene, a big production, and there are many viewers around the world who are interested in disaster films!" After looking at Ren Zhonglun, Zhang Junsheng continued: "Actually, our branches in North America have helped release a lot of Chinese-language movies in recent years. Mr. Huang should know that "Private Customization" was released by us. The box office in the United States has not reached 600,000 US dollars, and it has not even reached a fraction of the box office in the mainland!"

"So, I think we should take root in the mainland. Of course, it's good to go out, but North American audiences really have no interest in the culture of other countries..."

Ren Zhonglun: "The more difficult it is, the more we need to do it! This time, Shanghai Film and Television collaborated with Ms. Deng Wendi to "Snowflake Secret Fan" to introduce Chinese culture into North America..."

Wendi Deng took over the topic: "The theme of "Snowflake Secret Fan" is the best novel in the world and can be shared around the world, so we invited publishers to publish it. In addition, the actors are also very good, so I will watch them. Chinese culture is so old..."

Zhang Junsheng rolled his eyes. Americans are very arrogant and arrogant. In their opinion, American film and television works are the best in the world and are not interested in film and television works in other countries and regions at all.

Zhang Junsheng is very famous in the United States and is a group of young idols. The critics of "Crazy Stone" have been praised by the box office, and the box office has only been 20 million...

Yes, Chinese culture is ancient, isn’t African culture not old?

West Asian culture, Mayan culture, and Indian culture are all very old. Do Americans like to watch it?

"In fact, it is more economical to shoot movies in China. We have good designers and local teams. Their salaries are relatively low and they are also very good at learning..."

"In terms of cost, the scenes shot in Hengdian are very beautiful and cheap, which is definitely not possible in Hollywood."

When the host saw that Zhang Junsheng had not spoken, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhang, do you have any opinions?"
