Chapter 896

No matter how good the project is, no matter how good the topic is, no matter how loud the topic is, after the turmoil, it is still necessary to settle down and spend time and money to create the work.

As for film festivals, there are not many Class A film festivals in the world. The most influential one is the Oscars, and then the three major European film festivals.

On the Asian side, the Tianhai Film Festival has developed very rapidly with the explosion of the Chinese film market in recent years, and the Tianhai Film Festival has always adhered to the positioning of "based in Asia, focusing on Chinese-language films, and supporting newcomers".

There are 3 Class A film festivals recognized in Asia, one is the old Tokyo Film Festival, and the other is the New Delhi Film Festival in India. Although the Tianhai Film Festival is relatively new, but because the Huaguo market is so attractive, Tianhai Film Festival Every year, many famous international directors and Hollywood superstars are invited to the festival.

"Once Upon a Time 3" is the opening film of this year's Tianhai Film Festival, and the main creators of "Once Upon a Time 3" are here.

Although compared to the first two films, the third one gave many people the feeling that it was more in the category of kung fu movies, but in terms of the screening effect in the auditorium, because there were more fighting scenes and more explosive scenes, the audience watched it more refreshingly. .

This is Wu Tian's first film as a director and starring role.Of course the sequel will inevitably be compared with the first two.

Although the scenes are more violent and there are more fighting scenes, they are turning more and more towards popcorn-style movies.

Wu Tian said in an exclusive interview: "It's my first time to be a director. I'm actually very nervous. Director Lin has completely delegated power, which makes me even more nervous. I'm afraid I'll mess up the "Once Upon a Time" series."

"Many people have reported that compared to the first two films, the third one seems to lack a lot of connotation and is more of a popcorn-style commercial film. What do you think?"

"It's normal. What I'm good at is action. Everyone knows that I'm a martial arts instructor. I'm not good at literature and drama, whether it's acting or directing. Therefore, I can only use my strengths to avoid weaknesses and start in my own best field. .”

"Director Lin is very supportive of me. According to what he said, it's natural to shoot whatever looks good."

Lin Xiao didn't participate in the premiere, because his status is different. Although Wu Tian can be counted among the top ones in China as a star, as a director, he is still far behind.

But Lin Xiao is different, he is not only the director, but also the boss, the old director of the No. [-] entertainment industry stock in China.

So he had to attend the industry forum with a bunch of bigwigs.

Well, this is probably also a characteristic product of the Tianhai Film Festival. In addition to screenings, awards, and transactions, every film festival will hold large and small forums.

This year's theme is "New Opportunities for Chinese Films in the Capital Era".

A group of foreigners talked on stage about how Huaguo films could be combined with North American films, how to create films that both Chinese and American audiences would love, and they were overtly and secretly praising the Huaguo film market.

In fact, this is not the first time. After all, the Hollywood film market has stabilized. Without any major changes, it is difficult to have any explosive points.

But the Huaguo film market is different. It has grown in size over the past few years, and anyone can tell that the potential of the Huaguo film market is far from reaching its peak.

In the past few years, the box office of Hollywood blockbusters in China has surpassed that of North America. Anyone can see this.

Lin Xiao was bored chatting quietly with Huang Xuan, the boss of Xuanhuang Films.

This year, Xuanhuang was also in constant turmoil. Old Dong resigned from his part-time job as the company's chief operating officer because of his health, and the new one was Huang Xuan, which can be regarded as a replacement.

"What do you think the group of people in Tianmeng think? Do you really think that you can get things done by hiring Hollywood directors?" As partners in the "alliance", although there is competition between the two, most of the time they still cooperate.

"No way, foreign monks are good at chanting sutras. Compared with domestic directors, foreign directors are naturally more compelling. Nuo, isn't that what it is?" Lin Xiao talked to the Hollywood bigwigs there. They, said to Huang Xuan.

"Hehe." Chen Ke glanced at it, shook his head, and couldn't help but sneer.

"No way, if the same movie is made by a domestic director, it will be all kinds of criticisms, but if it is replaced by a foreign director, they can blow him up to the sky. I know how to stand." Lin Xiao said sarcastically.

What he said was the truth.

There are such a group of people in China, no matter how high-quality your movie is or how much it earns at the box office, as long as it is a domestically produced movie, in their opinion it is not as good as Hollywood.

But as long as it is a Hollywood movie, they are all kinds of touts. Even if the box office is not good and the audience doesn't like it, they will only say that they have no connotation and no vision.

Do not believe?If you don’t believe me, go and look at the movie reviews and ratings in the film and television library. As long as it is a foreign movie, it is basically scary with high ratings. Even if there are some movies, you can’t see the advantages at all.

The domestic high-scoring movies are basically Hong Kong and Taiwan movies of the last century.

Are domestic movies really that bad?Of course not, but some people just think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder.

"Then do you think they can do it?" Huang Xuan is the second generation of Yingying. Compared with his father, it is obvious that he and Lin Xiao can chat better. After all, the age difference between them is relatively small.

The pressure on Huang Xuan is also great. He can be regarded as the successor of Xuanhuang, but there are many people in Xuanhuang who dissatisfy him. After all, he is young.

"Hehe!" Lin Xiao replied.

"Want to hear the truth?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Nonsense." Huang Xuan was speechless.Everyone is a person of status, is it necessary to play like this?

"What do you think is the difference between what they do and a co-production?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically.

"Uh..." Huang Xuan thought about it carefully, there really doesn't seem to be much difference. If you want to talk about the difference, it's nothing more than that the projects chosen by Tianmeng are all adaptation projects, which seems to be on par with Hollywood. .

Although there have been many original movies in Hollywood in recent years, there have been few major productions. After all, compared with original movies, sequels and IP adaptations are obviously much less risky.

"The risk of adapting a movie should be much lower, right?" Huang Xuan thought for a while and said noncommittally.

"Yes, that's right, but how much effort do you think it will take for Tianmeng to win the copyright?" Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Also, the choice of subject matter, to be honest, "Knights and Magic" is better, after all, there are game fans who support it, but "Mystery of the World" is really popular in North America, but in China, if it is not for this Name, who knows what this is?" Lin Xiao shook his head involuntarily.

There are many bestsellers in North America, how many have you read in China?

Cultural differences are not casual talk, super IP is super IP, but that is for North America, while in China, to be honest, it is not as good as Internet red text.

"Then they won't lose money if they make money in the North American market." Huang Xuan said again.

"Although I don't know the specific details, I'm sure that the North American market has nothing to do with Tianmeng. Tianmeng is not a listed company, and they don't need to announce their financial reports. As long as the movie sells well, no matter whether there is a share or not. If you get the money, it can stimulate the stock price of the Tianmeng holding company."
