China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 48 Leave Chen Jingxing on the Fantasy World Network

"Director Chen, it seems that you are very confident in the movie." Ren Bowei was a little surprised.

Chen Jingxing answered with a smile: "I'm not particularly confident, but even if I can't win the award or even enter the main competition, it doesn't affect using this as a publicity stunt, right?"

Everyone knows that Director Chen seems to have tasted the sweetness of "Comet" and wants to copy it again.

"And I think there is a good chance that it will enter the main competition with the quality of "Fatal Identity". After all, the number of films shortlisted for the main competition in the past years has been more than 12." Chen Jingxing did not dare to say it: "If it can enter the main competition,

Competition unit, we will get good exposure in the mainstream entertainment media in North America, and this is definitely high-quality ammunition for publicity in the country."

Zhang Jingyan on the side nodded frequently, this truth is not difficult to understand.

Domestic non-competition units that have been shortlisted for the three major European film festivals can publish a lot of press releases, and even trigger reports from mainstream media. Walking on the red carpet can even be trending, let alone being shortlisted for the main competition.

unit, even CCTV has to report it, and the press release can sweep the entire Internet. Once it wins, it will be explosive news, enough to trigger discussions on Weibo and flood the forums.

Not to mention that during the publicity and distribution stage before the film is released, the awards from the three major film festivals are even more valuable, worth tens of millions in publicity and distribution expenses.

Of course, the Orlando Fantasy Film Festival cannot compare with the three major European film festivals in terms of status and weight in the film industry.

But status and commercial influence are two different things.

Zhang Jingyan immediately said: "Director Chen was originally scheduled to record an entertainment information program for Huanshi.com the day after tomorrow, as well as two variety shows that have been basically finalized, a cover shoot for "Bazaar Men", and a road show starting later in the month."

Ren Bowei asked Chen Jingxing for his opinion: "Director Chen, the recording of the program the day after tomorrow will be canceled first. If you can be shortlisted, if the two variety shows scheduled are recorded before the opening of the film festival, I would trouble you to bring the main creative team to participate.

one time."

"Okay, everyone, hurry up and get back to work. Mr. Zhang, you and I will see off Director Chen."

After all, it’s not that Luo Chen doesn’t want to be high-profile, but he can’t be high-profile now. The Internet stampede caused by the contract dispute has just subsided. If he doesn’t grasp the balance, it may trigger another round of ridicule and attacks. His work has been shortlisted for film festivals and he has become popular as the leading actor.

This is a matter of course. This is an honest opportunity for exposure, and it can also reverse the recent criticism. Fans who were originally silenced by the Internet can now rise again and start blowing again.

"Mr. Ren is too polite."

Worldwide, the Orlando Fantasy Film Festival can almost be regarded as a film event second only to the Cannes Film Festival in France in terms of commercial influence. Coincidentally, these two film festivals are the best in commercialization, and one is Europe.

It is also the largest film trading market in the world and the largest film trading market in North America.

In China, the influence of the Orlando Film Festival is also increasing year by year. In recent years, some fantasy and science fiction films from Japan and South Korea will go to Orlando before their official release. There are also many awards won. Once they win, they rely on this reputation.

Widely distributed in East Asian countries.

Being shortlisted for the main competition unit, not only will Fantasy World be able to promote it vigorously, but the film's creative team will also be able to go to the red carpet in Orlando, shoot magazines, post beautiful pictures, and take beautiful red carpet photos, and they can live in the hot city.

Search it.

Chen Jingxing had already prepared: "The deadline for submission is the 8th."

Coupled with the inherent media advantages of the United States and the blessing of the highland of Hollywood film and television culture, in North America, the Orlando Film Festival is now the most commercially influential film awards event second only to the Oscars and the Golden Globes.

"There are still four days before the deadline. Mr. Kang, please ask the translation and production team to put down their other work and focus on translating "Fatal Identity" for these two days!" Ren Bowei immediately issued the order without any hesitation.

"Once Luo Chen is really shortlisted for the main competition unit, Luo Chen's recent predicament will also have an opportunity to be resolved." Zhang Jingyan murmured.

Chen Jingxing smiled and said: "Mr. Ren, I think you are more confident about this movie than I am? If it doesn't work in the end, don't be disappointed."

Huanshi.com buys the copyrights of many foreign movies, and also participates in the production of many idol dramas. Some of China's idol dramas can still be exported abroad, whether it is the English-Chinese translation of foreign movies or the Chinese-English translation of some movies and TV series/

Korean/Japanese/Vietnamese require a dedicated translation team.

The Orlando Fantasy Film Festival is preceded by the Orlando Comic Con, Orlando Comic Con, San Diego Comic Con, and New York Comic Con, which are the three major comic conventions in North America.

If we only look at commercial influence, among the three major European cities, except for Cannes, the exposure and influence of Venice and Berlin are not as good as those of Orlando.

And now after watching the movie, all the executives have gained confidence in the quality of the movie. As soon as Chen Jingxing proposed it, after thinking about it for a while, he felt that this proposal was wonderful! And it has a lot of potential!

It can be said that the Orlando Film Festival is not just a film festival, it is an integration of the Orlando Comic Convention, the Fantasy Film Festival and the largest film trading market in North America.

And almost every year, new superhero movies are screened at the Orlando Film Festival. For example, "Justice League III", scheduled for early 2014, has been announced to be screened on a small scale at this year's Orlando Fantasy Film Festival.

However, both of Huanshi.com's movies are commercial films, and the thinking of Huanshi.com's executives is restricted. In addition, the movie has not been shot before it is completed. Even if the script is reliable, it still cannot be determined whether it is a tiger or a pig in the end.

Sure, so I didn’t think about it at all.

Even if you don't enter the main competition section but are shortlisted for the non-competition screening section, you can still receive invitations and go to the red carpet, but there is a risk of attracting complaints and ridicule.

After Ren Bowei came to his senses, he quickly asked: "The film festival opens on December 27th, is it too late to register now?"

Turning to Zhang Jingyan: "If there is a conflict, then talk to them. We can arrange for other stars to fill in. If it doesn't work, there is no other way. It seems that the road show can only wait until the movie is released."

"The original distribution plan for "Fatal Identity" has been finalized. If it wants to participate in the film festival, it will have to be rescheduled." Kang Hua was also a little excited.

Ren Bowei laughed and said: "Director Chen, before today I was only 50% confident at most. After watching the movie, I now have 90% confidence."

Even many of RB's animated films have participated in the screenings and awards at the Orlando Film Festival in recent years. The Orlando Film Festival has specially set up awards for animated feature films and short films as well as a screening section for animation topics. It can be said that the Orlando Film Festival has played a major role in China in recent years.

Domestic business influence and exposure have the momentum to catch up with Cannes. Of course, Cannes’ style, fashion and the authority of awards are still unmatched by Orlando. It can only be said that the industry looks at the top three in Europe, and fans of animation and science fiction join in the fun.

Crowds of onlookers watch Orlando.

If it is an art film, Huanshi.com has long been thinking about participating in a film festival abroad or setting up an overseas award exclusively for domestic films. The three major European film festivals are not enough, and there are many other film festivals.

Luochen's online public opinion has recently been hit by Mercury retrograde. Even after the filming of the movie was completed, he was as quiet as a chicken. According to original estimates, he would have to keep a low profile at least until the movie was released. If he could be shortlisted for the Orlando competition, it would be a rare opportunity for exposure.

"There is no need for all these messy interviews. Once the film is shortlisted for the film festival, we will send a special interview team to go directly to Orlando for on-site interviews."

Ren Bowei and some executives thought deeply about this. Chinese films, especially mainland films, have always been dominated by culture and business. Artistic films can often go to the three major European countries, and there is no lack of success, but commercial films are somewhat difficult to sell internationally.

, this is why Ren Bowei and others did not immediately think of participating in the Orlando Film Festival.

The few people chatted together and went downstairs. As they watched Chen Jingxing drive away, Ren Bowei sighed: "This young man is incredible."

"Mr. Zhang, please continue to test him about investing in DreamWorks. Didn't Xu Wenshen also come from Donghai Satellite TV? You are also former colleagues. Do his work and let him make more insinuations. Even if he asks for a high price, we will

I can sit down and pay back the money.”

Zhang Jingyan was a little surprised: "Mr. Ren, do you think DreamWorks' valuation will rise sharply in the future?"

Ren Bowei shook his head: "This is not a question of valuation, this is a question of whether we can keep him on board the Fantasy World Network."
