Lisko’s American Life

Speaking of film festivals, perhaps the biggest impression of this is the traditional three major European film festivals, and these three film festivals are also known as the most well-known and most popular film festival exhibitions, but they are recognized internationally. There are as many as 15 film festivals that have reached the same level of A-level, including the more familiar Tokyo Film Festival and Shanghai International Film Festival. Of course, there are also some film festival names that have never been heard of, but those film festivals They are all set up 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 these film festivals themselves are famous and valuable, and they are not comparable to the awards of these three well-known film festivals. It's just that the focus and direction of emphasis are different. For example, the Tokyo Film Festival and the Shanghai International Film Festival are not so well-known in Latin America and Africa.

You must know that too many of these 15 film festivals have a very long history and a very long history of their birth, and they have even been discovered from these film exhibitions. Many excellent international directors and independent filmmakers, It is precisely because of the appearance of so many various film festivals and exhibitions that so many film and television practitioners 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 time of establishment belongs to the Shanghai International Film Festival, which belongs to mainland China, but it is only because of its scale and the wide area it covers that he was once selected. When it was founded, it was directly promoted to the classification of A-category film festivals.

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

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

After all, it is necessary to find a platform for various movie categories to recommend to the public, and to express itself on a platform that has a market, so as to promote the vigorous development of so many film festivals.

But the problem now is that these film festivals are not so timely for the films they have just produced, and they have invested so much effort and money. If you appear at a category A film festival, it seems that participating in these film festivals does not have much significance. Some film festivals have a limited reputation and can't support the promotion of the film at all, and they can't gain much nationality. Confidence.

If you can't participate in the film festival a year ago this year, you can only temporarily seal the film. When the film festival opens next year, choose a few more well-known and publicity film festivals to participate in. There is something to be gained at these film festivals.

Of course, there is another problem, that is, the film that was born with so many people's expectations and publicity work, if it is kept sealed until next year and then released again, it may make many people's understanding of this film slowly. Dodging and waning, the discussion and attention that surrounds the film will also drop a lot by the time it hits theaters.

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

After listening to the other party's story, Lisko also understood this dilemma. It is true that the only way for a literary film to get a high and exciting box office is to make some gains at the film festival. After all, for literary films , Too much propaganda, if the corresponding box office is not obtained, it is a loss-making behavior in itself.

After thinking for a while, he still felt that the best way for his film was to meet the public through the film festival. A little waiting is not too unacceptable, maybe after so long of repression and stress. Fermentation, after the final release, will receive some unexpected feedback.

"I think it's better to suppress it temporarily. After all, the positioning of our film is a bit awkward. If after participating in the film festival, it will be released with honor, discussion and attention. Only then can we achieve the main goal of promoting this film. Purpose."

For some things, Su Maoyang may not be able to make certain decisions~www.wuxiamtl.com~ 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 a company The largest shareholder and the person in charge of all the shares, his words are the direction for the company to move forward, and there is no need to worry about so many criticisms, after all, all losses and profits are borne by themselves.

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 and the price and means to be paid.

As long as the world needs a platform for ranking and awarding, there is almost no fairness at all. The main reason why those relatively well-known selection associations can be so famous. It is because he may be slightly more fair than other selection associations, but it cannot be absolutely fair.

After all, the selection association is composed of various selection committees, and these selection committees are themselves selected from the film and television industry or practitioners who are highly respected and have some reputation at the same time. As long as there are people, it is inevitable after all Rewards and transactions of human exchanges.

If you free up a certain amount of time, add your personal connections with Lu Bo, and do some secret operations at the same time, maybe the glory that this film can really get next year may be much more than the original, only in the film festival exhibition. Only by winning several important awards in the past can this film become famous all over the world. After all, these film awards and exhibitions themselves have attracted the attention of people from all walks of life. Great news and publicity.
