Chapter 24 Doing a Film Festival? (1/5)

Speaking of which, the Busan Film Festival was founded in 1996, and this year it was the 17th session. The previous main venue was in Nampodong, and it was changed to Haeundae since the 9th session.

Haiyuntai is a beachfront place for recuperation, nothing special.

In recent years, with the release of the movie "Haiyuntai", it has gained a significant reputation in Asia.

Korean movies are very similar to Koreans. They always have a kind of petty spirit. The special effects "Haiyuntai" focuses on special effects. The special effects shots are less than five minutes. The whole article is 120 minutes, and the whole horse is used to show the idiots of tourists...

Just this, there are still a bunch of people kneeling down and licking - Chinese people will never be able to film "Haiyuntai"...

After finding a place to eat, Zhang Junsheng and Chen Yu left the hotel.

It's not Syria, security issues are OK.

There are buildings covered with movie advertisements, as well as various stalls, booths, events and electronic music. Looking around, there are all dark heads, which seem to squeeze in tens of thousands of people.

“…”

Zhang Junsheng was a little surprised. How could an unknown Busan Film Festival be so big?

"I've been doing it for more than ten years..."

Before he could speak, Chen Yu already understood the meaning of Zhang Junsheng's eyes.

Zhang Junsheng shook his head: "…The Busan Film Festival is not big, the market is here!"

"…Yes, in recent years, the Korean film market has basically reached the ceiling. All of them are eager to open up the mainland market."

"The mainland market is not that easy to enter. The Blue House is pro-China or pro-US. There will be many variables in policy instability!"

Chen Yu thought: "…So, you haven't invested in South Korea?"

"Yes, in a few years, I will be selling the American industry and focusing on the mainland!"

"Sell it? Burn it after reading it?"

Zhang Junsheng sighed, "...Yes, it's not OK to sell. The White House has some means to deal with a foreigner!"

Huawei was forced to withdraw from the US market, and a bunch of Chinese concept stocks withdrew from Nesdaq, so Lenovo is still insisting on...

Their headquarters are in the United States...

If there is no political consideration in this, no fool will believe it!

“…I think you seem to be interested in the film festival?”

"Yes, I always wanted to hold a film festival, but unfortunately I couldn't get the approval documents!"

The approval documents of the Beijing Film Festival have been stuck for five years, and the Directors Association Award has always been called a commendation conference. How can you make it so easy to make a film festival?

Chen Yu suddenly spoke: "I heard that Jia Zhangke is planning the Pingyao Film Festival..."

“…Pingyao?”

"Yes!" After a pause, Chen Yu added: "It focuses on independent movies... and Jia Zhangke has established considerable connections in Europe over the years..."

Zhang Junsheng suddenly thought of something: "If I only did film festivals, would it be better?"

The films displayed at the Film Festival are screened within a specific range, not commercial screenings, and do not need to pass review.

Chen Yu shook his head: "It's hard, Yuehua's every move is attracting much attention now!"

"…Forget it, it's hard to do something!"

"You don't just want to do something, right?"

“…I mainly want to expand the reputation of Suzhou movie base…”

"That's even more impossible. With the Shanghai Film Festival here, they can't agree to build another Suzhou Film Festival!"

This is all true. In the last life, Wanda signed an agreement with the Chinese Film Association, the American Academy of Oscars, etc., to prepare to hold the Qingdao International Film Festival. Lao Wang said something wildly, striving to build the Qingdao International Film Festival into an international film festival in the world in three to five years, and change the situation in which China has no world brand of film culture. But after a long time of struggle, the film festival just couldn't get approval documents.

Lao Wang is really inflated, can’t you understand the simple politics?

If your Qingdao Film Festival becomes the world's top international film festival in three to five years, where will I put the Beijing Film Festival? Where will I put the Shanghai Film Festival?

Waste of resources?

A private company competes for business with the government?

"Okay, let's go to the screening area to see it!"

...

Film festivals are business.

If a film festival wants to become bigger and stronger, it is almost impossible without the support of the film trading market.

Behind Cannes is the number one film trading market in Europe and the second largest in the world;

Behind Berlin is the second and third trading market in Europe.

Venice has been overwhelmed by Toronto in recent years because Venice does not have a mature film trading market, and behind Toronto is the North American market.

The Shanghai Film Festival and Beijing Film Festival have risen strongly in recent years, which is not only based on the expansion of the market!

The main competition unit of the Busan Film Festival mainly promotes the New Wave, which is a very smart choice. They also know that commercial films will definitely compete in the United States, so they simply don’t engage in commercial films!

After walking around, I finally found the Haitu Exhibition Area of ​​China Film. The main movies are "The Mystery of the Floating City" and "The Super Time and Space Rescue"...

It is different from the casual attitude I saw in Berlin last time. This time, Haitui's booth was arranged in Busan, with a pretty exquisite arrangement, at least there is a movie album on it...

But the attitude is still perfunctory...

Even when facing Zhang Junsheng, the staff are still casual.

Most of the staff who can be arranged to send a high-pressure service have backgrounds. They come abroad mainly to enjoy the customs and experience the scenery in other places. The work is just a side job...

As for Zhang Junsheng, he is not the leader!

Chen Yu suddenly pointed to the exhibition area not far away: "...There is the exhibition area of ​​SM. Company, do you want to go and have a look?"

“…They do movies too?”

Zhang Junsheng was a little surprised. SM. Isn’t he specializing in creating idols?

"I don't know, go and have a look!"

Chen Yu shrugged, he didn't know much about the Korean entertainment industry...

Unlike the previous exhibition area, the movie album in the SM. Exhibition area is more like a photo album!

“…This is a pure fan movie!”

"Fan movie?"

"It's just for fans to watch, let's go..."

"…Wait a moment!"

Chen Yu became interested...

I went up to negotiate with the person in charge in English, but unfortunately the other party spoke too much in Korean English, so he couldn't understand it...

"Call Xiao Li to come over,"

Xiao Li is the translator this time...

"...No, I told you that this is a movie made by fans, you..."

Chen Yu smiled mysteriously: "There are many fans of these people in China, and I think it's a big profit!"

“…Cinema screening?”

"No, I'll sell it to a video company..."

“…video company?”

Zhang Junsheng's eyes turned, yes, why didn't he expect it!

"You're right, this matter is a big deal..."

Chen Yu was stunned...

"Boss...you can also compete with me for this little money? It's too much!"

"Don't worry, you won't suffer any losses. The day after tomorrow, you go to SM with Lao Tang. I will satisfy you!"

Giving him an expression that men understand, Chen Yu curled his lips: "Don't be careless. Although I am very interested in them, there is no need to lose tens of millions for women!"

"…Where do you get tens of millions? You're thinking too much!"

"Why don't there be tens of millions? If I buy it out exclusively and sell it to Fujisun..."

"Do you think Teng Xun's people are evil pens?" He despised Chen Yu: "Besides, I don't believe there is no special website!"

"Even if there is, they absolutely have no copyright!"

"...Okay, at worst, you can take up 10% of the dry stocks!"

"This is almost the same!"
