Chapter 40: Selling Movies

"Also, just watching the trailer, I don't understand what you are going to express, although the kung fu is very good."

This is about "Sword Rain". Su Zhaobin is still busy with the later stages in China, and the task of selling films is undoubtedly handed over to the group who attended Cannes this time.

Foreigners do not believe in reincarnation, nor do they believe in fate.

To put it bluntly, they cannot understand Eastern philosophy.

They prefer to watch the popular action movies like "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" that are fighting family disputes.

The whole story of "Sword Rain" revolves around a small family, but unfortunately, there are too many twists and turns in it.

The trailer was a bit unpredictable, so it was normal for Bilburton to not understand it.

Of course, if you give the price subtitle of "Sword Rain" a bloody crime caused by Ji Ba, or "Sword Rain" and "Face Change Couple", it may make foreigners pay more!

"…These two people have undergone plastic surgery and do not know each other. Although the husband knows that his wife killed his whole family, he fell in love with her..."

Paralyzed, the more I explained, the more I felt that this story was nonsense!

You killed my whole family, I still want to love you. It's so far-fetched...

The most normal logic is that at the end, Zhang Renfeng should have left alone without caring about Zeng Jing...

Just like "The Vegetarian Chicken 8", the sentence "weare is tired of logging" can wash away all previous sins?

Damn, Han and Giselle said that our coffin cover is unstable!

Unexpectedly, Xu Hui's explanation really fits Bill's idea.

Foreigners like this one. After listening to Xu Hui's general explanation, Bilburton's eyes lit up: "Is this a story about revenge and forgiveness?"

"…Well…"

"Yes, when we were working on this project, we referenced "Hamlet". In fact, tragedy is often more important than comedy and its functions are attracting the attention of the public..."

Xu Hui was about to explain, but Chen Jingshen had interrupted him and talked endlessly about the relationship between "Sword Rain" and "Hamlet".

Paohui said he was shocked, how could these two be linked together?

"Chan, after listening to your story, I admit that I was very moved, but I have to remind you that the market and tastes in North America have long been deeply rooted, and this new type is difficult for the audience to pay for money..."

Bilburton held the frame on the tip of his nose and stared at Chen Jingshen seriously.

Xu Hui can understand this sentence.

This guy wants to lower the price!

It doesn’t matter. With the intention to buy, the rest is much simpler, it’s nothing more than a price dispute.

Finally arrived at "Huang Feihong".

"…Chan, I'm very optimistic about this movie. Let me tell you about your psychological price!"

Bilburton didn't say nonsense and directly offered to buy out.

Originally, the "Huang Feihong" series of movies sold well in North America, with almost every DVD sales of about 1 million. Foreigners like Chinese kung fu movies very much.

, each one costs around $5-15, because there is a Blu-ray version...

The North American market is really big and mature. The movie "Rush Hour 2" was created by Big Brother

The US box office was 226 million US dollars, the revenue of DVD rental and DVD sales reached 93.7 million US dollars and 59 million US dollars, and the TV copyright was sold for 27 million US dollars (national box office *12%). Without global DVD and TV copyrights, the movie revenue reached 521 million US dollars, and the big brother received 40 million US dollars, and the DVD revenue was 160 million US dollars, but in the United States!

Therefore, as long as the "Huang Feihong" series can open up the market in North America, Xu Hui believes that this will be a hen that can lay golden eggs!

"Bill, I am the director of "Huang Feihong". I plan to make this movie into a series to create the 'Chinese Past' series. There are so many Chinese in North America, and I think they will be interested in this movie..."

Therefore, Xu Hui is not very good at business negotiations. He always only implements the audience of "Huang Feihong" to the Chinese community.

Fortunately, Chen Jingshen: "What we director means is that we can first show it on a small scale and then slowly expand it."

"so, what's your price?"

Bilburton didn't care about this at all.

Xu Hui glanced at Chen Jingshen, and the latter said: "Tomorrow afternoon, our movie will be screened in the Movie Palace. Then we will talk about it!"

"…I'll lose my companion, and there are guests over there who need me to greet you."

Xu Hui took the opportunity to go out.

Alas, I am indeed suitable to be a simple pile driver... Bah, a simple director!

...

After halfway through the cocktail party, Xu Hui followed Chen Farong closely with a glass, and she led her to meet one film dealer after another.

This woman is really not a woman. She has only been here for two days and has established a good relationship with these people. Compared with that, Paohui is much inferior. Fortunately, he is the director of "Huang Feihong" and the film company is very interested in him.

After finally dealing with the round, Wu Jing was chatting with a few of them, speaking half-baked English. Fortunately, he had an interpreter to follow him. Seeing his erotic look, he was probably talking about kung fu;

Tong Liya talked about something with Fan Bingbing and a strange-dressed fashion industry person;

Fan Bingbing is voluntarily helping to stand up. After all, Chinese people are relatively cooperative in foreign countries.

Xu Hui also saw Jia Zhangke. He also participated in Cannes this year, but he was not shortlisted for the main competition unit.

"Director Jia..."

Xu Hui walked to Jia Zhangke with a wine glass and greeted him with a smile.

"…Director Xu, congratulations!"

"…Thanks."

The two chatted casually for a few words, and Xu Hui left on his own initiative.

I am not a member of the same place and have no common language at all. What's the point of chatting together?

...

On May 12, in the evening, the red carpet ceremony of this film festival officially kicked off.

As the chairman of the jury, Tim Burton and eight other jury members appeared on the red carpet first. Judging from the distribution of the jury members, it is enough to witness the impact of Hollywood on traditional European film festivals today.

Tim Burton, Kate Beckinsale, and Benicio del Toro are all Hollywood directors and actors, including Alexander Displatt, who is also a Hollywood gold-medal arrangement.

Nine judges, four of them are from Hollywood!

The red carpet is not long, and it is more suitable for celebrities to show their style. After taking a routine photo of the jury, members of the jury took to the big stairs of the Film Festival Palace.

The red carpet of early film festivals was mainly for the release of works to show the actors' own style. For the premiere of a movie, the film screening was mainly used.

Starting around 2008, the red carpet of the film festival has changed. Many artists will dress up carefully and wear new items provided by sponsorship and walk on the red carpet for their team to take photos. After taking photos, they will be sent to China...

The red carpet is here!

It's commercialized, understandable!

Li Bingbing walked on the Oscar red carpet once, and the jewelry and dresses on his body were as expensive as 8 million US dollars!

However, the official live broadcast of the film festival and the footage of the reporters will basically not stay with these people.
Chapter completed!
