Lisko’s American Life

Speaking of film festivals, perhaps everyone’s biggest impression of this is the traditional three major European film festivals, and these three major film festivals are also known as the most well-known and most popular film festival exhibitions, but the international recognition There are as many as 15 film festivals that have reached the A-level of the same level, including the Tokyo Film Festival and the Shanghai International Film Festival that everyone is familiar with, and of course there are some film festival names that have never been heard of. But those film festivals They are all established in relatively remote areas, such as exclusive film exhibitions in Latin America or Africa. The number of participants or the degree of spread in Asia is not that loud.

But this does not mean that the popularity and gold content of these film festivals are not as good as the awards of these three familiar film festivals. It's just that the emphasis and direction are different. Like the Tokyo Film Festival and the Shanghai International Film Festival, they are not so well-known in Latin America and Africa.

We must know that among these 15 film festivals, too many film festivals have a very long history and history, and they have even been discovered from these film exhibitions. Many outstanding international directors and independent filmmakers, It is also the emergence of so many various film festivals and exhibitions that allow so many film and television practitioners to have a good platform to express themselves to the outside world.

It can be described in this way, among so many film festivals, the one with the smallest reputation and the smallest establishment time belongs to the Shanghai International Film Festival, which belongs to the Huaguo mainland. When it was founded, it was directly promoted to the category of category A film festivals.

But now Su Maoyang has encountered a more troublesome problem, that is, he has checked the holding time of these 15 film festivals in the a category, and almost most of the film festivals are opened in August and September. Individuals may be in the early and mid-November stage, but for the current self, it seems that some time is too late.

Of course, in addition to the a-category film festivals in this world, there are also a variety of unique film festivals that are more outstanding, such as those that prefer suspense, those that prefer western fantasy, or those that prefer murder plasma plots, those that prefer thrilling.

After all, it is necessary to find a platform for all kinds of film categories to recommend to the public, and to express oneself in a market, so as to promote the vigorous development of so many film festivals.

But the problem I am encountering now is that these film festivals are not so timely for the films I have just produced. If you show up at A-type film festivals, it seems that participating in these film festivals does not have much meaning. Some film festivals have limited reputation and cannot support the promotion of this film at all, nor can they gain much national attention. self-confidence.

If you can't participate in the film festival before this year, you can only temporarily seal this film, and when the film festival opens next year, choose a few more well-known and better-known film festivals to participate in, praying There's something to be gained at these festivals.

Of course, there is another problem, that is, the film was born with so many people’s expectations and promotional work. If it is kept sealed and released until next year, it may make many people gradually understand this film. Attenuated and weakened, the discussion and attention surrounding this film will also drop a lot when it is released.

Of course, this kind of behavior will also have a certain impact on the movie's box office, which is the main reason why Su Maoyang feels a little bit stuck. If the movie can be produced a few months in advance, he may not have to be so entangled and difficult to make a decision.

After listening to the other party's narration, Li Ke understood this dilemma. It is true that the only way for a literary film to get a high box office and excitement is to make some gains at the film festival. After all, for literary films , If the publicity is too huge, if it does not get the corresponding box office, it is a loss-making behavior in itself.

After thinking about it for a while, he still feels that the best way for his film is to present it to the public through a film festival. A little waiting is not too unacceptable. Maybe after so long of depression and Fermentation, after it is finally released, it will receive some unexpected feedback.

"I think it's better to temporarily suppress it. After all, the positioning of our film is a bit embarrassing. If we participate in the film festival and release it with honor, discussion and attention, we can achieve the main purpose of promoting this film. Purpose."

Su Maoyang may not be able to make certain decisions about some things. After all, his role may cause the company to suffer a lot of losses and criticism, but Lisko may not have so many restrictions. As the company's largest shareholder and all shares The person in charge, his words are the direction for the company to move forward, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about so many criticisms. After all, all losses and profits are borne by oneself.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, Lisko needs to set aside a certain amount of free time to discuss with Lu Guo the possibility of the follow-up operation of this film, as well as the price and means to be paid.

In this world, there is almost no fairness in any platform that needs to compare rankings and awards. The main reason why those relatively well-known selection associations can have such a great reputation. It is because compared with other selection associations, his degree of fairness may be slightly higher, but it cannot be absolutely fair.

After all, the selection association is composed of various selection committee members, and these selection committee members are selected from the film and television industry or practitioners, and are composed of people who are highly respected and have some reputation. As long as there are people, it is inevitable after all. Feedback and transactions of favors.

If a certain amount of time is spared, coupled with the personal relationship between myself and Lu Bo, and some secret operations are carried out at the same time, the real glory of this film next year may be much higher than the original. Only in the film festival exhibition Only by winning a few important awards in the world can the film become famous all over the world. After all, these film selection awards and exhibitions themselves have attracted the attention of people from all walks of life. Great news and publicity.
