Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 1236 Do You Still Need To Go?

"That's just from our point of view." Zhang Guorong turned a page of the newspaper and said while reading: "Don't you look at how high her starting point is, and it is necessary to pursue the film festival Awards? Or you should think about why those films participating in the film festival should participate.”

"Of course the purpose of participating is to win prizes!" Chen Shufen looked at him puzzled.Don't you just go sightseeing if you don't want to win prizes?
Zhang Guorong smiled and shook his head: "The vast majority of people make films, and the ultimate goal is to get into American theaters. It is an honor for them to go to the United States, and it is also an affirmation of their ability. But do you think Lai Will La need to do this?"

"Surely not!" She was already developing in Hollywood, so why would she need to go through that extra trouble?
Having said that, Chen Shufen seemed to understand a little bit.

Zhang Guorong continued: "No one can deny that the box office of the United States is the most important country in the world. Why do people in the film industry want to go to Hollywood, isn't it because it is the holy land of movies?"

Generally, there are no channels, or if films from other countries want to stand out, they need to make their name first, so that American filmmakers can see themselves, and then sell the distribution rights before they can enter the United States, the most desired place for filmmakers.

But how do you get your name up and make yourself visible to publishers?The simpler method, or the method with a higher success rate, is to pass the evaluations of major film festivals.With the energy of the film festival, one's film can be recognized within a certain range, so that it is possible to attract the attention of film producers.

Therefore, the meaning of those awards may hold some weight in the hearts of many filmmakers, but for those who are really ambitious, they just use it as a ladder to support themselves on the road to Hollywood.

The Oscar is the ultimate goal of filmmakers. All filmmakers in the world hope to step on its podium, even if they can appear on the nomination list, it is an honor.But there is still a problem here, that is, it has a rule, that is, the films participating in the selection must have been released in theaters in the United States for a period of time.It doesn't matter even if it is on-demand, in short, there must be a certain screening time to be eligible to participate in the Oscars.

But if you want to release it in the United States, only American distributors can do it.

So the question goes back again, how can we attract American distributors?

Take Eastern films as an example.The films produced will be judged by the film festival, and after being recognized by the audience and judges, they will get some awards (even if they don’t win the awards, they must have the quality that seems to make money), thus attracting the favor of the film studio, and then arranged in U.S. release.Once there is a release time, I will apply for the qualifications for the Oscars.

Because of such conditions, many films that are well-known in the East or in Asia have been purchased by American film companies at very low prices for distribution rights.It is really very low, maybe only tens of thousands of 10,000+ US dollars, hundreds of thousands is already a pretty good price.

It can't be said that they are too dark and cruel, and those people are not philanthropists. If they can't make money, why would they take risks with oriental films?
There are great differences between the East and the West, and plots that may be popular in the East may seem esoteric and difficult to understand in the West.There are some historical things, some charms, and some stalks in the film that Westerners must not be able to understand, so the feeling of watching the film is not as good as that of Easterners.

Therefore, the film studio took a great risk in taking the distribution rights of oriental films.Usually after they buy a movie, they will do some screenings first, and they will expand the screenings only if they see that the box office is not bad.As for publicity or something, don't think about it, it's good to put up a poster.Many oriental films have not received attention, and insufficient publicity is one of the most critical problems.

In Zhang Guorong's "science popularization", Chen Shufen finally understood.No wonder Leila didn't participate in the film festival. It was entirely because her starting point was too high. She possessed what other directors desperately wanted.Her company releases many films every year, almost all of which are from her company.

"There is another reason." Zhang Guorong paused, then smiled softly: "She has won the highest award, do you think she will still be interested in the little red flower in the class? If she is not interested, she Why bother to participate?"

She has won many Oscar statuettes that all filmmakers dream of, so how can she value other awards?

Chen Shufen couldn't laugh or cry when he said "the little red flower in the class", but she knew in her heart that he was not joking.

"That's right." She sighed softly. "Why don't you say that reincarnation is a technical job? If you also..."

If he was also born in such a family, presumably with his strength, he should have received the honor that should belong to him long ago, right?

Unexpectedly, Zhang Guorong shook his head: "That's not to say, it doesn't have much to do with her background. Do you really think she can't stand where she is now without her background? Don't forget how she got up , even if there is no Moran family behind her, with her ability, she will still win a place in the world film industry."

Chen Shufen actually just wanted to sigh with emotion: "Okay, what you said is right, she is amazing, the most powerful super director in Hollywood! No matter what her background is, at least she has a good vision and can take you to Hollywood." She Speaking of this, I thought of another lucky guy who was brought to Hollywood by her, that Roy Ji Xing who was about to marry her now.

That guy's reincarnation skills are not good, but his luck in bumping into a nobleman is superb.The lives of these two people have long been dug up by the media, and they themselves have exposed a lot on some talk shows.So people who know them almost all over the world know what is going on between them, so they are very envious and moved by their fairytale meeting.

"No one in this world can get something for nothing. You can only get something if you pay for it." Zhang Guorong looked at the newspaper and said lightly, which also ended the conversation.

Anyone who has worked with Leila will know that the accolades and trophies she received did not just fall from the sky randomly.Her valuing and serious attitude towards movies is the reason why she can make good movies.If you don't even take your own work seriously, what's the point of making a movie?Whether a movie has sincerity or not depends on the audience's word of mouth.

Why does Leila have so many fans?Why are her videos popular with so many people?Isn't the real reason that the audience feels her sincerity in her films and accepts the films brought about by her sincerity?

　Someone asked me before why Leila didn't go to the film festival, why didn't she win a grand slam.In fact, Lao Zhuang thought so.She has already won the highest trophy, and doesn't care much about the others.If she didn't have the background of the Moran family, she might really have to participate in the first start, so as to make the movie famous and find a distributor by the way.But she just inherited her father's film company, which saved the most critical step.

　　This new book after the end will involve some, so please look forward to it~
