My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1442 May all the stars shine on you at this moment, brother

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a monthly pass!
On May 1993, 5, French time, the awards ceremony of the 24th Cannes International Film Festival was held at the Palais des Films.

The ceremony started in the evening, but from the morning, people from all over Cannes rushed towards the surroundings of the Palace of Film, and many reporters and film critics with work badges of different colors also came in advance.

Perhaps in this era, the importance and commerciality of the Oscars are still looked up to, but for the entire world film industry and practitioners, I am afraid that the Cannes International Film Festival is more influential.

The moment the stars fell, the awards ceremony of the 46th Cannes International Film Festival officially began.

When the time came, with the ceremonial music of the symphony orchestra, the chairman of the jury, Louis Mahler, the authoritative director of French Gaga, took the speech and walked onto the stage.

At the same time, the remaining nine judges also appeared one by one.

The entire Cannes Film Festival is not just an awards ceremony, but has entered the hottest link since the opening ceremony on May 5.

In the past ten days, celebrities and actors have taken turns to make the headlines of various European and American entertainment newspapers. At the same time, 24 films participating in the main competition have also been screened in different halls of the Cannes Film Palace and surrounding theaters.

During this period of time, the famous Cannes magazines also rated the films selected for the main competition.

Of course, even if this score is a little bit useful, it is not useless at all.

Because the scoring side of this show has nothing to do with the Cannes jury, its more important role is to 'generate income'.

Every year, many films and production companies will spend public relations expenses on it to advertise films. Once upon a time, several major Chinese-speaking film studios even included publications...

The Wang brothers have come here many times for special issues, and because of this, they have been popular in domestic searches.Later generations of news also often see XX films appearing in the Cannes show magazine, and international copyright sales are booming.

It just doesn't mention how much the hot sales are selling for.

Why?

What do you think?

Some people may say that they will never lose money and make money!

Now, here you see it!

Spend money to buy exhibition catalogs, and spend money to cover booths.

A huge amount of reception was held, and domestic drafts were issued.

In a word, there is always a way to earn back the money spent here from domestic leeks!

The Cannes Film Festival is not only a film competition, but also the world's largest film trading market. The show catalog is such a publicity platform.

During this Cannes Film Festival, nearly 100 companies from more than 4000 countries and regions set up more than 300 exhibitors, with an exhibition area of ​​more than 10000 square meters. During the period, there were more than 1300 film screenings.

There used to be a relatively general statistics in later generations. At this time of year, more than 10000 professionals will meet here, including 3200 producers, 2300 film sales agents, 1500 buyers and 790 film festivals. planner.

More than 70% of the film transactions in the world are carried out here.

This is also the key to the authority and integrity of Quack in Cannes!
In fact, the biggest deficiency of the later Chinese film festivals is not that the awards ceremony is not authoritative or heavy, which is not so significant for film output, and it will not substantially increase the "influence" of the film festival.

The reason why Category A film festivals are different from general award ceremonies is that it has a huge film trading market for all parties, which will promote the real prosperity of the entire film market.

Obviously, even in later generations, Chinese film festivals do not have such genes.

The Shanghai Film Festival is working hard in this direction, and the results cannot be said to be ineffective, but only average...

A long way to go.

In these ten days, Wu Xiaozu didn't know how many bottles and types of wine he drank, and even the boa constrictors raised in captivity were not idle...

Not only does he want to act as a supporting role for the Shanghai Film Festival, but he also needs to invite more famous people in the industry as teaching assistants with his own connections, and he also needs to appear in person to promote the film festival, hoping to attract more people from the film industry to participate.

A bright star is the face, and a movie deal is the face.

In this place of the Devil's City, you can't just play with your face and ignore your face.

It can't be an official appropriation every year, can it?

Wu Xiaozu still has to face... After all, he is also a member of the Shanghai Film Festival Organizing Committee.

Fortunately, with the introduction of Isabel Adjani, Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci and other women, coupled with Wu Xiaozu's strong contacts in the European film industry...it has indeed promoted the Shanghai Film Festival a lot .

At least many small producers are ready to take a look.

Moreover, Wu Xiaozu also made a film to promote the Shanghai Film Festival's "large quantity, full control, high quality and low price".

Yes.

Wu Xiaozu has already communicated with several film studios and related units in the mainland to help them sell their inventory copyrights...

During this period of time, the Xiangguo Film and Television Base has taken on a big job-re-adding version subtitles to a large number of works.

What do you sell movies for?
In addition to selling content, there is also service.

Of course, Wu Xiaozu did not participate in the pricing of the copyright price, and this kind of thing is more or less inappropriate.

But I have to say that Wu Xiaozu's step made the domestic Cheng Zhigu and the leaders applaud.

Laozi finally have the opportunity to generate foreign exchange for the country.

Of course, re-copying and adding subtitles is a huge investment in itself, but it doesn't matter, [-] Group will purchase screening rights and related adaptation rights, so that they won't be busy in vain.

To be honest, it didn't cost much.

Domestic people don't pay much attention to this thing at all, what the hell... The price of cabbage may be cheap cabbage.

For example, "Taking Tiger Mountain Outsmart", "Mineral Warfare", "Tunnel Warfare", "Railway Guerrillas", "Silver Snake Murder", "Havoc in Heaven", "Red Lantern", "Little Flower", " Raid on the White Tiger Regiment", "Shajiabang", "Red Detachment of Women", "Gunshots from the Secrecy Bureau", "Sparkling Red Star", "Three Great Battles" and so on... In short, the screening and adaptation rights of many movies have been released The signing of the number of years and the signing of the subsequent priority.

These agreements were discussed collectively at the meeting, and naturally there were different voices. Even the leaders of many units felt that Wu Xiaozu made a fuss over a molehill, but under Wu Xiaozu's insistence, let this matter be a decision after group discussion. There is absolutely no favoritism The existence of perverting the law, using power for personal gain, and outflow of collective property and state-owned assets.

Would rather not buy, never illegal.

But Wu Xiaozu, a Hong Kong businessman, took the initiative to set a threshold invisibly.

There is no such thing as our old Wu embezzling collective and national property!Definitely not comprador class.

We have not touched the copyrights of many special movies, of course, we will not miss them if we encounter them.

It is said that this incident was reported to the highest level, and I finally felt that this incident was not a bad thing-the reform and opening up, the cultural field should naturally open up.

Besides, it's not really selling copyright.

Moreover, the agreement also stipulates that the original unit has certain income rights after the film adaptation.

In short, Lao Wu asked the subordinates to do things like cutting tofu with a knife.

He also plans to settle in the mainland in the future... He doesn't want to run away homeless, wandering around for half his life and come back in such a mess.

In the venue, Wu Xiaozu sat in the central area, next to his elder brothers Zhang Guoyi and Gong Li, and the reader, Ge You and others sat in turn.

Listening to Louis Malle, chairman of the jury, making a speech on the stage, Wu Xiaozu turned his head and looked at his elder brother Zhang Guoying, who was wearing a high-order suit and looked like a jade boy on Moshang, and asked in a low voice:

"Are you nervous?"

"Am I nervous?" The Virgo brother smiled, and the suit on his body was extremely appropriate, which explained what a perfectionist is.

"Oh……"

Wu Xiaozu looked at his uncontrollably trembling legs and——the hand tightly clutching the hem of his clothes, and finally understood what it means to say something wrong.
