Previously, the situation of the three major film festivals has been briefly discussed. Obviously, even the three major film festivals must face the balance between art and business.

No one can make an exception.

On the one hand, they need to select more works of artistic value to ensure that the film creation can still stand the test of time and the big screen.

On the other hand, they also need to cater to the market and win more topical works to attract audiences and publishers' attention.

It is conceivable that how to balance the two is a difficult problem that needs to be faced every year and make long-term plans.

For a long time, Onqiao is more inclined towards art, Wei Hai is more inclined towards the market, and Lan Xia is trying to maintain a balance, but this is only a statement.

From the current point of view, Wei Hai's balance control is the most appropriate, so it is the best. Only Lan Xia seemed to have lost her way.

Earlier, when the "tourist" landed at the Seka Film Festival, he briefly mentioned that the Blue Summer Film Festival had problems in all aspects due to internal power struggles.

As the first film festival in the world, Lan Xia once had its own glory, calling the wind and calling the rain, standing at the center of the world's film creation; however, with the passage of time, they are now more and more chaotic, more and more flustered, and even have to communicate with new students generation of the Seka Film Festival to compete.

Everything is traceable.

Originally, the Lanxia Film Festival and the Seka Film Festival were held one after the other. The two film festivals were only two days apart, but the water between the two was not a river, because everyone knew the difference between the two film festivals:

Lan Xia is more aloof and artistic; Seka is more friendly to the people and more commercial.

Lan Xia, which sets awards, is a competition film festival; Seka is not, it is a non-competitive exhibition film festival.

Therefore, the two film festivals have their own market goals.

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Wild Fruit to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】

Then, five years ago, Lan Xia had a personnel change.

On the one hand, there are internal power struggles, and factionalism has led to seismic personnel changes.

On the one hand, Lan Xia is clearly declining. The former artistic director has been in charge of the festival for more than 25 years, but the festival’s momentum has gradually been surpassed by its competitors, and its prestige and reputation in the global market has gradually begun to decline. A focal point of disagreement among different factions.

All in all, the Blue Summer Film Festival has changed its artistic director.

Things started from there.

Perhaps, the newly appointed art director did benefit from the power struggle, but his appointment unquestionably announced the festival's ambitions:

Lan Xia needs to regain popularity, regain the authority of the film festival, and regain its former glory.

As a result, the art director launched a series of drastic reforms and a new management with a new look.

However…

The internal factional struggle is still a stubborn disease. After the former art director left, the faction to which he belonged continued to stumble, and even cut off the film festival’s relationship network, causing the film festival’s official funding chain to break. The chain reaction is catastrophic.

The art director was at a loss, and the three fires of the new official's appointment were not able to burn. Instead, they stumbled and burned, and the whole film festival was in chaos.

Lan Xia, not only did not attract a new atmosphere, but also fell into a new round of chaos, unexpected situations one after another, making people overwhelmed:

From the construction of the new pavilion halfway through and being forced to shelve the film festival’s screening plan, to the fact that after the official support was cut off, the capital chain broke and had to ask the distributors for high participation fees, causing complaints, and then to the selection process. The film committee lacks a clear idea, so the quality of the participating films is seriously uneven...

Etc., etc.

A series of problems have serious follow-up effects, and problems occur in all aspects of the entire film festival. The direct result is:

Complaints from the production company, from the distribution company, and from the audience and fans have completely submerged the film festival. Lan Xia, like a sieve, is full of loopholes.

So, unintentionally, the Seika held with Lan Xia's front and back feet became a substitute, attracting a large number of studios to Seika to start the awards season.

Two years ago, Lan Xia ushered in the lowest trough in the history of the film festival since its establishment—

According to reports, the number of ticket-buying audiences to the Lanxia Film Festival has dropped by 20% compared with previous years, and the number of people in Lanxia during the film festival has dropped by more than 30% compared with the same period in previous years. The desertedness of the entire venue is visible to the naked eye.

As we all know, the film festival, in addition to movies, is also a carnival event, attracting media and tourists from all over the world to party.

Maybe, not everyone can buy tickets to watch the movie, and not everyone is interested in the movie, but where there are crowds, there are parties, and where there are parties, there is consumption. For the city where the film festival is held , this is a good opportunity to increase tourism revenue.

In other words, if it can work properly, it will be a virtuous circle, so the cooperation between the film festival and the city is also crucial.

However, now, the Blue Summer Film Festival is subject to internal power struggles, and their cooperation with the official chain has been cut off. As a result...both lose.

The worst and most terrifying thing is that in that year, in the second week of the film festival, UU reading www.uukanshu.com logically should enter the climax stage of the second half, brewing momentum for the final awards, However, nearly half of the media and filmmakers all transferred Seka in a big way, and Lan Xia emptied half of it.

It was already deserted, but as a result, it slipped further into the abyss, and it can even be described as "monarchy", which is simply a great shame.

Moreover, this scene of guests flocking to the next door to be a guest made Lan Xia face disgrace and became a big joke inside and outside the industry.

That year, after the film festival ended, Lan Xia had no morale at all, and even considered holding it a month in advance, completely avoiding the edge of Sekar, and completely lacking the style of the oldest film festival.

As for the art director, not only did he fail to burn down the three fires that the new official took office, but he set himself on fire and fell into prison.

So, what to do?

The art director who carries the public's expectations and was pushed to the front in the process of power struggle has really tasted the taste of sitting on pins and needles.

He is Richie Kuan.

In fact, Li Shikuan once served as the artistic director of the Lanxia Film Festival thirty years ago, but at that time, he was only a temporary transition manager. After helping the film festival stabilize in just two years, he handed over the management power to out, and then went to the Film Archive as a professor.

Thirty years later, Li Shikuan came out again—

Although this is the result of a power struggle, and although the troubled Blue Summer Film Festival is a hot potato, Li Shikuan has been in low-key seclusion in the archive for so long, and after careful consideration, he finally decided to break his retirement life and take over the festival again. Could the art director job, he, give up easily?
