The third thousand three hundred and fourteenth chapter is how to gamble
They didn’t eat much at the party in the evening. After the party, Da Mimi and Yue Ming ordered food to be delivered to the presidential suite.
Da Mimi will naturally pay attention to her words and deeds in any public situation. This is a required course for a public figure, but in private, especially with an acquaintance like Ye Ming, there is no need to be so polite.
Naturally, she did whatever she felt comfortable with, and while eating a worthless meal, she said: "Yi Zi, are you saying that spending money on this matter may not have any effect? As for the reporters who came with us, there are only three of them now."
indivual.
In addition, those reporters went back just because they had reporting assignments in China. This clearly means they don’t think favorably of us, right?
There are only three reporters following us now. This proves that the country is actually hesitant about whether we will win or not. With this kind of mentality, they have no confidence in us at all.
Ah, no, I have no confidence in you. There are no big names in the crew, nor is it a famous director. The director's work has not yet been approved by the state to participate in film festivals. Even if it wins an award, the publicity will not be particularly big, at most.
That means posting an article about tofu cubes or something.
So, the media is not very optimistic about us. I think this is a normal thing. If I were a reporter, for those of you who don’t have famous actors, don’t have famous directors, and don’t have any famous background.
As for the crew, I don’t like it either.
So at this time, if you spend 500,000 US dollars on public relations and promotion of such a movie, I estimate that the possibility of losing money is very high, and it may even be that you lose nothing.”
Ye Ming, as for Ye Ming, did not take this matter to heart, but shook his head and said: "Sister Mi, you can't look at this matter like this. It's like if we don't work hard, there will be no hope at all, right?
?Oh, I myself also know that our film is in a rather awkward position. It is an honor for us to enter the main competition section. It at least represents a recognition of us by the Berlin Film Festival.
In this case, as long as those of us from directors to actors win awards, we will gain some leverage in the entertainment industry and others will not dare to look down on us casually. At least we have proven ourselves at the Berlin Film Festival.
wrong?
So even if we win an award, there won’t be too much domestic coverage. This is for sure. After all, we are an unapproved underground film, and it reflects a shocking aspect of society. But what?
, you have to think about it, we are not making this up randomly, we are adapting it based on historical events and real news, that is, the results have been slightly processed, and the rest is basically the same as the news, so
To put it bluntly, we are not deliberately trying to discredit anything, we are just saying that we use the lens to reflect the life of a group, that’s it.
Of course, there are things we did wrong in this matter, but if we win the award, it may be possible for the leaders of the relevant domestic departments to open up and face the problem. After all, we are the first to win the award in the past five years.
Regarding movies, if we really win an award, by then we won’t even dare to say that our movie will be released, but at least it will be publicly reported or online.
It is possible to appear with a legal identity. The key is to see whether you can win awards and whether you can bring glory to the country. We are different from other fields. We are not making up random things to deliberately smear something. We are
The news events captured are truly semi-documentary in nature.
So, I think there is still value in rescuing it.
As for why I did this, think about it, sister, I am not saying that I have a lot of capital behind it, this is my wife's capital. If I can lose this, I will have to tighten my belt when I get a wife in the future.
But why would I do this? Because at this time, I knew very well in my heart that I did not have a big background in the entertainment industry, nor did I have any amazing acting skills. I did come from a child star background. In terms of acting skills, I
Maybe I'm a little better than my peers, but my acting skills haven't reached such an amazing level.
So even if my acting is good, even if my acting is very good, it may not be true whether other people will admit it. After all, I don’t have a big background and I don’t have a wealthy father.
However, if the movie I star in can win an award at the Berlin Film Festival, it will prove that my acting skills have been recognized by Westerners. In this case, if other directors and actors say that my acting skills are not good, they will have to weigh it.
I don’t dare to offend the Berlin Film Festival.
In this case, it will be much easier for me to work in the entertainment industry. So I have to take this risk. If I don’t take this risk, then I will have to work hard for 3 to 5 years to prove my acting skills. But if I do this
If the movie can win this award, I can prove my acting skills through this award in an instant.
For example, when someone attacks me in the future, they may make up claims that I act like a big star, bully newcomers, etc., but they will never say that my acting skills are not good, because my favorite movie won an award at the Berlin Film Festival.
.
I don’t know that the 500,000 yuan may be wasted. After all, the West does wear colored glasses towards us. Whether they will choose this movie is hard to say, but we have done everything we should do, right?
?
We have done everything we should do, and we have spent the money we should have spent. As for whether we can win the award, we can only do our best and let fate.
I tried my best. As an actor and as a domestic producer, I tried my best for this movie. I suggest you make this movie go further, but as for whether it can go
How far, this may depend on a variety of factors.
Well, we can just wait for the results now.”
At this time, Da Mimi suddenly realized it, nodded and said: "I see, you are smart enough, you can think of such things.
Ye Ming is of course very confident at this moment and says that it is natural. There can be many fools in the entertainment industry, right?
There is nothing I can do. You can only throw money at me. There is something you can do, but I am more versatile.
How about I teach you how to play the flute later? On the moonlit night of Twenty-four Bridges, where can a beautiful woman teach you how to play the flute?
Especially if there is a dreamlike Victoria’s Secret, then it will be even more valuable to appreciate at this time, right?”
As for Da Mimi, a blush suddenly appeared on her face. She gave Ye Ming a white look and said, "Ye Ming wants to beat you. You old driver is becoming more and more dishonest. Everyone welcomes a goddess like me."
, is it still necessary to learn an instrument?
Even if I don’t know how to play any musical instrument, I’m still a goddess.”
At this time, Ye Ming naturally did not deny anything but said with a smile: "There is no problem. You are a goddess. Of course you are a goddess. Among the most advanced girls in the entertainment industry, you are a goddess. Tonight I want you to be a goddess."
, okay, you can become Guanyin, and you will be my Guanyin?"
Not only did Ye Ming have a heated discussion about the direction of his film, but the jury headed by Robinson actually also had a heated discussion about a film like Ye Ming's.
Obviously at this time, although Robinson himself did not express his position, his agreement to start a discussion on this issue has fully demonstrated his own tendency, so everyone is very aware of this.
Clearly, if Robinson and other judges are not optimistic about Ye Ming's film Black Mine, then at this time you will not even have a chance to discuss this film with the judges of the organizing committee.
Of course, everyone first discussed the artistic issue of this movie. In fact, many people seemed to have relatively strong opinions on this point. They all agreed that this movie is indeed a very big breakthrough in terms of artistry. Although it
The production is relatively rough.
But, considering the torture of human nature they reflected relative to the events they reflected, this is forgivable.
After all, how difficult the conditions are when filming in underground mines. As a movie, they still know it more or less in their hearts. Even if they have never been in a mine, I believe that most of them are filming indoors or in caves.
The judges all have experience.
So, judging from the artistic image at this time, this is not "Black Mine". In fact, everyone agrees with it. Otherwise, it is impossible for the people who have played the main roles in this film to be invited to participate in the Berlin Film Festival.
So at this time, what follows is whether this movie can win awards, how many awards it can win, and what kind of awards should be given to such a movie. Don’t think that film festivals, especially international film festivals, are
How fair and just, in fact, in a relatively fair and just environment, there are still some tendencies.
For example, what David said about public relations, if you do good public relations, if you do a good job of publicity, and your movie does have merits, it will not be able to find too many flaws in terms of artistry.
, then you will more or less win awards at this time, it just depends on how many awards or what kind of awards you win.
So, regarding such an issue, the current tendency of everyone's discussion is whether to give a small consolation technical award or to provide focused support. This is the issue that everyone is discussing.
Because no film from China has entered the Berlin Film Festival for five years. At this time, everyone feels that no matter what, we cannot let a film like Black Mine go away empty-handed, otherwise it will not be good for the Chinese market.
A bad sign.
This is not conducive to the Berlin Film Festival showing its influence. Therefore, when it comes to winning awards, you must give more or less awards. Even if it is a consolation technical award, you must give an award. But, is it important?
We need to support each other. This needs to be discussed by everyone.
And regarding such an issue, the discussion is not to say that it is smooth sailing. Some relatively conservative judges believe that if a movie like "Black Mine" is supported at this time, it may be said to be a good example.
When I came out of the Berlin Film Festival, I was opposed to my side.
You must know that we are now the number one film export market in the world, so it is not a good sign to compete with Hollywood at this time.
However, at this time, there are people who are relatively supportive of a movie like "Black Mine", because the reason is also very simple. One is that there is not much to criticize in terms of the artistic quality of this movie, and there is also
That is to say, the subject matter of this movie, the issue of moral decay of human nature reflected in this movie, is also a relatively rare subject in the film industry.
At this time, at the end, Robinson thought for a while and said: "Actually, everyone's opinions are very important, but one thing everyone needs to understand is that it is not a question of whether we can offend Hollywood, but whether Hollywood will give us food.
Do you know about food issues?
Whether it is European movies, Asian movies, weekly movies, or movies from any continent in the world, they are basically under the suppression of the United States. Needless to say, they are the backbone of Hollywood.
Garden, if any country in the world can fight against Hollywood alone, at least so far, the possibility is not very high. So, we in Europe are actually suppressed by Hollywood. We have to see this clearly, especially with Asian movies.
It is with China Films, so they should be on the same front on this issue.
Especially now that Hollywood movies can easily take away hundreds of millions or even billions or even billions of dollars around the world. With such an income, in such a situation,
Next, we must pay attention to the market in China.
Because China's economy has developed, China's economic aggregate now ranks second in the world. This is a huge ticket warehouse. Whether we are willing to admit it or not, China is no longer the China it used to be. Although as far as the film market is concerned, China
There really is no such right to challenge Hollywood.
However, you must know that there are almost two companies in the world that have the opportunity to challenge the power of Hollywood, one is our European market, and the other is the Chinese market. So on this issue, we should be able to stick together for warmth, even if it is occasionally
We hold together for warmth, and we also want to let us know later that the world's film market is not decided by them, and it is not what they say, and we must show our voices.
So under such a situation, it is very important for us to support Chinese films. No Chinese film has won an award here in five years. This has more or less reduced the influence of the Berlin Film Festival in China.
Yes, this is not what we want to see.
So I personally think that we should take a little more care of it. If it is a good movie, we should choose to focus on supporting "Black Mine". In any case, this is also to send our voice to the world film market, and then people in Hollywood will also know it.
, although their film industry is the most developed, our European films and Chinese films are not vegetarian.
I am betting on China's future ticket position, are you willing to give up on such a market?"
