Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 539 I Choose Venice Film Festival

"Have you thought it through..." Luo Fan was a little surprised.

"Yes." Chen Mubai replied.

"If you go to the film festival to compete, all the publicity and distribution you invested in the early stage will be wasted." Luo Fan said: "When it is re-screened later, you will have to spend again."

"Buried Alive" will be released on the 26th. Some money must have been spent before the completion of the film and preparations for the announcement. If the schedule is changed now, the money invested will be in vain.

It is impossible for the publicity and release before the movie to be released in a few months to be effective. This is definitely useless, and you need to spend money to do it again.

And the effect is not necessarily good, after all, it has been announced once before.

"That's fine, you can go and see the excellent works from various countries, maybe you can get some inspiration." Luo Fan heard the determination in Chen Mubai's tone, and stopped dissuading him.

"Your work has not been screened yet, and it meets the requirements of the competition. You must submit your work in advance, so don't miss the time." Luo Fan reminded.

"I have also participated in the film festival, which has something to do with it. If you have any needs, please let me know."

Luo Fan's distribution in overseas markets is indispensable to dealing with film festivals, which does have something to do with it. For example, there is no problem in speeding up the review.

Works participating in category A film festivals must be films that have not been screened before, and they must premiere at the film festival, otherwise they will not be eligible to participate, and "Buried Alive" just fits the bill.

Luo Fan knew that this incident had a great impact on Chen Mubai, and it would be good to go to the film festival to relax and gain knowledge.

Even if it comes back empty-handed, and it will be released in a few months, maybe things will turn around.

"I see, thank you Mr. Luo." Chen Mubai thanked.

The phone call was not in vain, and he got another solution.

Chen Mubai and Luo Fan thought differently, he was quite confident himself.

Not to mention winning a grand prize, even if it is a small award, even a nomination.

The movie "Buried Alive" has its shortcomings, but it also has many advantages.

This movie is a bit strange, but the rhythm and reversal are very strong, maybe it can be favored!

No matter how bad it is, it's okay to get a good reputation!

At least when it returns to China for release, it can gain some fame. If it is praised abroad, the influence in China will not be low.

If a film can be praised at a film festival, is there any doubt about its quality?

At that time, these doubts will no longer exist, and even if the film schedule remains unchanged, there may be many audiences who come here specially for the film, and it is not certain!

No matter how bad it is, there is nothing, maybe a different time period, there are not so many new movies, unlike the dense summer schedule, maybe the "Buried Alive" film schedule can get more!

Even if the Big Six are still targeting it, it’s okay. Some medium-sized colleges have given up targeting. If they change the schedule, if there are not so many strong competitors, maybe everyone will choose "Buried Alive"...

In either case, it is better than when it is released at this time, and no matter how bad it is, the result will be the same.

At the very least, try to fight now, maybe there will be unexpected surprises and gains!

After Chen Mubai made up his mind,

Back to the conference room.

When he opened the door, everyone's eyes fell on him, wanting to hear the opinion he just got.

Everyone found that Chen Mubai had a rare relaxed and comfortable expression on his face. Although he didn't express anything before, there was still a heavy look in his eyes, but he didn't show it.

In other words, his attitude was far less serious than his heart.

Now that he looks like this, has he found a solution?

Lu Fang asked first, "What did Mr. Luo say?"

"Is there a solution?"

Chen Mubai nodded and said with a smile, "Yes."

Then he walked quickly to his seat and began to explain to everyone.

From the moment he said that there was a solution, everyone's expressions were shocked, and there was a look of surprise on their faces. There is really a way to solve this matter! ?

Everyone's expectant eyes were all focused on Chen Mubai, waiting for him to speak out the solution.

Chen Mubai didn't show off too much, and said directly: "We can go to the film festival!"

"If the film can gain something at the film festival, it will definitely increase its influence. At that time, even the six big ideas can't do it against us!"

This is inevitable. If the work won an award, the Sixth National Congress would dare to target Chen Mubai and refuse to arrange the film. This is going against the country's policy, isn't it courting death?

The country is vigorously developing the cultural industry, which is to tap outstanding talents and excellent works.

An award-winning work was targeted by the theaters and refused to release the film. Isn't this a slap in the face of the country?

If the Sixth Congress dares to do this, it will definitely be punished by the state!

"But it's not that easy to win the award..." Chen Yunteng hesitated in a low voice.

At this juncture, his frustrating words really hurt everyone's confidence, but what Chen Mubai said is indeed a bit difficult to do, and it is really difficult for a film to win an award at the film festival.

Of course, this refers to authoritative film festivals, not pheasant film festivals. Those awards are won by money and resources, and they are worthless.

What Chen Mubai said must be to participate in an authoritative film festival, which depends on the ability of real guns and live ammunition.

Chen Yunteng's words really made everyone sober up. Although the result was good, it was very difficult.

"Yes..." Li Feng agreed.

With the solidarity of others, this made Chen Yunteng feel better. He didn't deliberately undermine everyone's confidence, but hoped to get a perfect plan as much as possible.

"It's true that it doesn't matter whether you win an award or not, the important thing is the quality of the movie." Chen Mubai knew that his words were indeed a bit suspicious, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"Our movie, the reason given by the theaters is that the quality is not good. Netizens accept the reason.”

"I go to film festivals to show movies. After people watch the movie, the ratings and word-of-mouth of the movie will come out. I am very confident in the quality, so if the word-of-mouth and quality are good, even if I don't win an award, then When it’s released in China, theaters can’t use this as a reason to lower their schedule.”

"Taking a step back, even if they still do this, we can still promote the quality of the film ourselves, and with the promotion at the film festival, we can still gain the support of many audiences!"

This principle is feasible, and everyone is also thinking about what Chen Mubai said.

It's just that the premise of all this is that the quality of the movie must be good, otherwise it's all useless.

Everyone had no choice, and they also believed in Chen Mubai's ability, so they didn't have much to deny his words.

"I think what Mu Bai said makes sense. Instead of being restricted like this, it's better to give it a go, maybe there will be a turning point."

In the silence, Lu Fang was the first to stand up and agree with Chen Mubai's decision.

What Chen Mubai said was not unreasonable, although it was a bit difficult, but he had self-confidence, so they naturally chose to believe him.

"Mr. Chen, which film festival do you want to attend?" Ji Yuxuan asked.

There are many kinds of film festivals, even the category A film festivals have 15, and the entry conditions are also different.

Among them, the three major European film festivals with the highest gold content are the most famous awards in the world, both in terms of scale and gold content.

Compared with the Oscars in the United States, the three major European film festivals have higher artistic content and are more popular with film lovers all over the world.

Because Oscar films are somewhat regionalized, they are still mainly in English, while the three major European film festivals do not value this.

Therefore, the award-winning works at the three major European film festivals basically come from all over the world, and the Oscars are mostly American films.

"Venice Film Festival." Chen Mubai replied.

"The Venice Film Festival, one of the three major film festivals in Europe?"

"Just come up and play so big?"

Everyone was stunned by Chen Mubai's words, they didn't expect him to go to the most difficult film festival!

They originally thought that Chen Mubai would participate in the domestic film festival. In this way, the film can be regarded as broadcast, and the domestic culture can be better understood by the Chinese people, and the word-of-mouth will be more fermented.

Chen Mubai is from China, the movies he made may not be understandable to foreigners!

The most important thing in movies is expression. Every shot has a meaning to express, but because of different cultures, understanding will also be different. Foreigners really don’t necessarily understand Chinese culture!

"Brother Bai, isn't this a bit too high..." Qian Duoduo said hesitantly.

He also feels that this is a bit too much, the opening is hell difficulty, it feels a bit cruel!

Anyway, let's go to the domestic film festivals...

"Since you want to play, you have to play a big one, otherwise you will have to wait too long to go through the film festival in 2019." Chen Mubai shook his head and said, "Even if we release it first and participate in the selection later, the time lapse is too long , The film's box office has already come out, it's too late."

Domestic film festivals include films shot in the past year for selection.

There are a total of three well-known film festivals in China, namely the Golden Rooster Award (Mainland), the Golden Image Award (Xiangjiang), and the Golden Horse Award (Taiwan).

The popularity and gold content of the three awards are the highest in China, among which the Golden Rooster Award is held in August, the Golden Image Award is in April, and the Golden Horse Award is in November.

For example, this year is 2021, and the selection of films can only be films shot during 2020-2021, because film festivals are usually held in the middle or end of the year, so some films that were screened at the beginning of the year can also be shortlisted.

As long as there is enough time, it will be fine. If there is no time, it will be distributed to the next year's film festival selection.

No matter which item it is, it has nothing to do with "Buried Alive". If it is released first, the box office will be cold, and there is no point in running for the election. At least Chen Mubai doesn't want this kind of result, he still wants to fight hard.

"Buried Alive" has not yet been screened, and it fully complies with the regulations for participating in international A-category film festivals, especially the three major European film festivals.

It has not participated in any film festivals, and has not been screened outside the country. It is a premiere at a film festival.

"You can participate in other film festivals. The three major film festivals in Europe are too difficult. After all, they are the highest halls of film." Both are A-category film festivals, and their popularity is not bad."

"The two most important film festivals belong to Asia, and they are closer culturally, and the probability of winning awards is higher than participating in the Venice Film Festival."

Chen Yunteng's words are well-founded and convincing.
