The Sundance Film Festival was founded by Robert Redford.
This man's masterpieces include "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "Liar", "Out of Africa", etc. He is a well-known Hollywood boss. He founded this film festival to encourage independent production and present diversity. Many newcomers have come here.
Go out and become a world famous guide.
In fact, after the formation of the eight major Hollywood monopolies, they once wiped out independent films. Later, they discovered that without these independent filmmakers, it is easy to lose creativity and make products stereotyped by relying solely on the assembly line production of large companies.
Later, it changed its strategy and began to accept and support independent companies.
Even in this era where superheroes are everywhere and the most serious stereotypes exist, there are still some independent works in Hollywood that are outstanding, but they are too unpopular and are not very popular in the country, let alone released.
For example, there was a movie called "Some Kind of Substance" last year, which you can check out.
The Sundance Film Festival is held in Park City, Utah, and this year is the second time.
In the past, Liu Zhigu was the team leader when going abroad, but now Chen Qi can also be the team leader. He took Ling Mei, Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang and flew to San Francisco first. There were Mou Dundi and Jiang Zhiqiang, the directors of "Sweetheart" in Hong Kong.
.
In the United States, it is Uma Thurman and Bob Shea.
The three parties traveled around and gathered in Park City.
It is said to be a city, but it is actually a small town. It is located on the snow-covered plateau. Ski tourists and people attending the film festival seemed to have crowded the town overnight.
A car drove creakingly along the road under the snow-capped mountains into Park City. It was afternoon.
But the sky was as gray as the evening, and the outlines and lights of the buildings appeared in front, as if there was finally a human habitation in this desolate place.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little dizzy."
The long journey made Ling Mei feel uncomfortable. She waved her hands and said, "When I made "The Wilderness" and it was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival, I went alone to participate. That's called a toss."
"How many years ago was that?"
"About 1981."
Chen Qi curled his lips, he could have gone to Venice five years ago, what else could he say?
Ling Mei seemed to be aware of his inner drama and said, "I am self-aware now. I have no talent for making movies. I just want to learn management and build a film and television city. It was you who proposed this matter. You
You can’t just ignore everything.”
"Yeah, I'll try my best to help."
While they were talking, the car stopped in front of a three-story building. The signboard was a small hotel. Bob Shea and Jiang Zhiqiang waited for a long time, then came up and gave them a hug: "Chen! It's so troublesome for you to go abroad! Fortunately, I made a reservation in advance.
It’s a hotel, otherwise we wouldn’t even have a place to stay.”
"Is everything covered?"
"Of course, only people from our team live there!"
Mou Dundee, Uma Thurman and her mother also came out.
After more than half a year, Uma Thurman seems to have grown a little taller. She is wearing a thick down jacket and big boots. Her legs are long and powerful, and she still looks like a pony.
She was also very happy, and laughed: "Haha! I want to thank you, I didn't expect to participate in the Film Festival!"
"How do you feel here?"
"Great, I just went to ski during the day!"
"I understand skiing too, try tomorrow!
Everyone entered the hotel. Chen Qi's room was on the third floor. The layout was simple, neat and clean, and heating. He packed up, knocked on the door outside, opened it, but the boss took a cup of cocoa.
"Oh, thank you!"
"You're welcome, you also come from China?"
"Yes!"
"Wow, it is not easy to see the Chinese here. They said they came from Hong Kong--"
The boss refers to Jiang Zhiqiang, saying: "I know Hong Kong, Kung Fu! Do you shoot a kung fu movie?"
"Almost! Just now the 16 -year -old girl, she killed three men by her own!"
The boss was surprised for a while, saying: "Then we really have to see how she killed three men. I wish you a good results!"
When she left, Chen Qi drank a few mouthfuls of hot cocoa. This stuff was thick like a sputum stuck in her throat, bitter and sweet, but it was okay to drink it in a cold day.
The door next door.
"Sister, have you packing it? Let's talk about it."
"alright!
Ling Mei opened the door. The two now call a change. One is called the eldest sister directly, and the other is Xiao Chen.
They called Shangjiang Zhiqiang and ran to Bobs Shey's house. Bobei said: "" Little Sweetheart "is arranged on the 19th, and the organizer gives good screening conditions. This film should be optimistic."
"How many media can there be?"
"There are twenty houses. After all, Santaus has just been founded, and the influence has not been released."
"Sure enough, a bit! The story of" Little Sweetheart "is simple. There is no technique. The selling point that can get the hand is the feat of large -scale and 'uncle'. This thing requires the media to cooperate with touting. How much does you bring?"
Um?
Ling Mei was stunned by this sharp turn, Bob Xiey's face did not change his face, and he was serious: "200,000 US dollars! I think it's enough."
"What about articles?"
"Write it!"
Jiang Zhiqiang took out a manuscript, Chen Qi roughly looked at it, it was the film review of "Little Sweetheart". It praised the revolutionary breakthrough of the film and finally let the minor kill an adult, but no longer the weakness of the weakness.
Discussion, "Yes, you must drive the trend of discussion. Are the audience ready?"
"I found more than a hundred people. It's all the dragons that I have met in the B -level film. I have a certain acting skills. I can't recognize it."
"Okay! This is almost the same."
At the moment, several people have conspired to make birds and beasts.
Ling Mei was silent just now, this will grab Chen Qi asks: "Xiao Chen, what's going on? Are you falsifying?"
"yes!
,
"listen--·
She didn't expect that the other party would admit it directly and said, "Can this still be fake?"
"Of course! Everyone has his own way of lying. Do you think the Golden Rooster Award is fake? Which award is given to whom, who is not given, double yolk egg, triple yolk egg, which one is ranked first and which one is last... - That's not all
Is it man-made?
It's the same in the United States, where it's called public relations.
To put it bluntly, it means spending money.”
"But that's two hundred thousand dollars?"
"You have to think this way, although "Sweetheart" has selling points, it is too simple and it is not even close to winning an award.
We need to give it a boost. 200,000 yuan seems to be too much. If we really win the award, whether we sell the copyright or be an agent for distribution, the income will be far more than 200,000 yuan."
Chen Qi emphasized: "Sister, our first task is to earn foreign exchange! As long as we can earn foreign exchange for the country, I will bear the blame alone."
"Forget it! No matter how loyal you are, your playful and smiling attitude has ruined it."
Ling Mei got to know him better and better, but it was still difficult to accept for a while. Can American film festivals still have public relations? Can they buy the media and recruit fake audiences? This is different from what she imagined!
