Second, of course it is based on reality.
In reality, many restaurants adhere to such a chicken-thief mentality. You see there are so many dishes left on this table, and there are still several dishes that have not been touched. Then, as a shrewd and cost-saving businessman, you will
what to do?
Of course, take it away and recycle it as it is.
In other words, this dish will be brought to the next guest's table intact and treated as fresh.
Isn’t the next diner very unfair?
Because they couldn't guess such a thing at all, and they foolishly thought that the store was quick and the food was served quickly!
Therefore, in many cases, people who take the initiative to throw debris into uneaten meals may be good people!
You have to thank him.
The same goes for the film industry. Let me ask you, who owns the ownership of the investment that has been given to you?
Most people will think that it belongs to the film company. So, since the ownership rights are already ours, isn’t it the right thing for us to do with it?
If you have some money left over, wouldn't it be good to use it for subsequent publicity?
Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to use it for team building?
To actually go back, this is like a living Bodhisattva appearing in this world!
"That's not necessary. There shouldn't be much money left. You can just save it for later publicity."
One advantage of using a small amount of money to buy Xiao Qi is that for Wu Di, this is a business where he can only make a profit and not lose any money. After all, if they have to continue to cooperate after this, there will still be time to make money back.
"Boss Wu, this is too generous of you. Okay, I'll accept it then. To be honest, making a movie is really not expensive at all. Now I understand it deeply."
As someone who has been in the industry, Xiao Qi certainly knew that making movies was a waste of money, but at that time, he just had no deep understanding of this concept.
And now, after turning his work into a reality and turning it into a movie that can be shown on the big screen, Xiao Qi has truly felt that making movies is a business that costs money like water.
As a result, his gratitude to Wu Di and Rammasanti became even stronger.
This mentality is completely different from when Wu Di was still on the set. At that time, he was still having a headache because of Wu Di's excessive participation in the filming of the film.
To be honest, there is some dissatisfaction.
But now, after being beaten by reality, Xiao Qi has grown a lot. He gradually realizes that no one's money comes from strong winds.
And others can invest in you selflessly, support you all the time, and do not make too many demands on you. Such investors are like gods, something you can only meet but cannot ask for.
Nowadays, Xiao Qi can faithfully present his works to the public with extremely high quality. It can be said that they are inseparable from the cooperation with Lanmasanti.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qi's attitude towards Wu Di can be said to have improved a lot, which is simply touching.
As for Wu Di, he didn't care about his psychological changes. In fact, Wu Di didn't feel it too much.
In this regard, he has always been more generous.
"Now that the film has been produced, why not send it to the film festival for a try? I think the quality of this film is enough." Wu Di inspired kindly.
Xiao Qi looked flattered: "Film festival?"
"Which one are you talking about?"
"Which one else is there? The three major ones, Cancheng is more difficult, Shuicheng and Xidu, you should be able to give it a try."
Naturally, there is a food chain among the three major international awards. Among the three international awards, Cannes has the highest status and the most valuable awards. However, the levels of the Water City and Xidu Film Festivals are relatively uneven.
In some years, Shuicheng is better, and in other years, Xidu is ahead. This has nothing to do with the film festival itself, but is closely related to the quality of the films submitted this year.
If the overall quality of the film is high, then the gold content of the award will naturally be high. If you need to win a general among the poor, in that case, what quality should you pursue?
It's pretty much just a matter of handing out all the awards.
Of course, the ranking of awards is also related to the region. Generally speaking, among the dazzling array of film festivals, the status of the three major film festivals is of course the highest.
However, among the three, Cannes takes the lead. This is mainly because France has always been a fashion capital and leads the fashion trend since the beginning of modern times.
In the field of culture, France has some innate attractions. Many talents in this field gather here. Even in today's film market, Hollywood has almost dominated the world.
The most mature film industry is here, the most popular movie stars are here, the largest investment is here, and the movies with the highest box office are naturally produced here, but this does not hinder the authority of the three major film festivals that have taken root in Europe.
.
Maybe, in a sense, this is also a separation of money and power.
Hollywood is rich and has its own awards, so it doesn't matter to him if the big three don't take him to play. After all, he has his own set of standards and is regarded as the best by many directors and actors.
And what about the big three?
Of course it also has its own meaning.
One is that Hollywood movies are often a little less interesting in terms of artistic value and exploration of human nature, so it makes sense for the three major companies to support these artistic elements.
Secondly, after all, there are still so many filmmakers who are outside of Hollywood. Based on their experience, it is impossible for them to enter the mainstream of Hollywood.
However, they are also so excellent, and the quality of their works is also very high. The disadvantage is that their movies often cannot make a lot of money at the box office. So, don't they need to be recognized?
Are these movies that cannot earn investors a lot of money in theaters no longer necessary to exist?
The answer is of course no.
They also need a stage to show off, and their pursuit of art is probably the source of further progress in the film industry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Therefore, among the three major ones, the Cannes Film Festival, which can attract more talents, has become the one with a transcendent status. As for the second and third
The position changes frequently and there is no fixed ranking.
"You mean, I can apply for the three major universities?"
"Do you think I'm qualified?" Xiao Qi never expected that his investors would be so optimistic about him.
Wu Di quickly encouraged him: "Of course, can't you just treat it as if you have dates but don't have dates and hit three poles?"
"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and opportunities are always reserved for those who are brave. What are you afraid of? Even if you are rejected, it is still an experience."
"Otherwise, why are you working so hard to make movies? Is it for charity?"
"Don't you also want to be recognized by others?"
"I have thought about it many times in the past few days. We cannot be afraid of challenges just because we are newcomers. The quality of our works is obviously so good, why can't we give it a try?"
"But, I have no way!"
"To participate in the three major universities, you either need to be recommended by seniors or you need to have qualifications. I don't have neither, what should I do?"
Obviously, Xiao Qi was persuaded by Wu Di, but the real obstacles were placed in front of him, forcing him to think more carefully.
"This is easy to handle."
"Leave it to me. As long as you have the determination, I can help you run it. Of course, whether it can be successful depends on the quality of the finished film."
"How's it going? Do you have confidence?"
"Do you still need to ask?" At this time, Xiao Qi was no longer sleepy, his eyelids were all open, and he was very excited.
"So, when will the finished film be handed over to me at the earliest? I will help you find a recommender." Wu Di was definitely more active than Xiao Qi about running for election, and Xiao Qi also felt his influence.
positive.
However, his idea was of a different kind.
People are all for fame and fortune, and Wu Di is certainly no exception. Of course he is so active for his own sake.
Why do you say?
Of course it’s because he’s the co-director!
If this person is really recommended, selected, or even wins one or two small prizes, wouldn't it be prosperous?
Wu Di is almost getting something for nothing, completely profiting from nothing. This time, his reputation in the industry has also opened up. In the future, he can still swindle in the industry with the name of an international award winner.
Isn’t it beautiful?
After understanding these issues, Xiao Qi is no longer entangled. Wu Di said you can find someone, so you can find connections.
Anyway, I made the movie, and I am willing to share a piece of the pie with you, and you will definitely make more money. In return, you should go to the outside world to establish connections.
There is no doubt about this.
"Don't worry about this. I will rush it. Once it is completed, I will hand it over to you immediately. However, I heard that your new movie is about to start shooting. How can I find you?"
"By then, you should no longer be in the capital."
Wu Di slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Yeah, I almost forgot about it."
"Okay, after you finish, I will ask my assistant to find you, and you can leave it to her." This kind of errand work is perfect for Han Jingjing. It is a very good idea.
, but was rejected by Xiao Qi.
"That's not good."
"Movies need to be kept confidential. If I give it to her, and she watches it secretly, wouldn't there be no confidentiality?"
"I know this is quite troublesome and frustrating for you, but for future considerations, it's better for you to do it yourself."
"Otherwise, I can go find you."
If Wu Di can really find a recommender, then he is really Xiao Qi's noble man, so what if he makes a few more trips?
It doesn't matter at all.
Wu Di nodded: "Okay."
"The movie has just started filming, and I really can't leave. So come over, and I'll tell you the specific location then."
"As for you, you probably have to take at least three days off. I have the sample in my hands. After I take a look at it, we will hand it over to the recommender together."
"Okay, this is indeed how it should be."
Although it is Wu Di's task to make connections, as one of the main creators, of course he cannot not show up in front of recommenders.
The simplest point is, is the recommender a philanthropist who likes to recommend you?
Every year, there are so many good movies and so many new directors, why do you think they have chosen your work?
Could it be that you are fat and reborn?
If you want recommenders to help you and give you opportunities, you must first leave a good impression on them. This is very important.
"All right."
"That's it."
After putting down the phone, Wu Di turned on the computer.
What to sleep on?
Why don't you get up yet?
Young people, it doesn't matter if you sleep less. Besides, if I go to the set with Lao Zhang tomorrow, I'll just take a plane.
As long as he insists on getting to the airport, he will be fine. If anything happens, he can get on the plane and catch up on his sleep, and there will be no problem at all.
Can Lao Zhang still control him and prevent him from sleeping on the plane?
too exaggerated.
Lao Zhang is not that boring. It is impossible for him to shoot on an airplane, and he does not plan to discuss the script structure and so on in the unstable environment of an airplane.
If you have any questions, let’s talk about it after you settle down!
What was so important that Wu Di had to turn on his computer to look up it?
So late at night?
Of course it is an important matter, and it is very important!
Are those three universities something you can apply for if you want to?
Do you think the three universities are tutoring classes?
Since it is a formal award and it is annual, it is obvious that it has a set deadline.
Wu Di remembered that although they were held once a year, the registration deadlines for the three majors were different, and he forgot the specific dates.
Need to check it out.
Moreover, this matter cannot be delayed. After all, according to Xiao Qi, the samples will be delivered to him in a few days, so finding recommenders needs to be put on the agenda.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although it is not up to Wu Di to decide which film festival to submit to, and Xiao Wu certainly has no power, but obviously, if you want to apply, you have to look at others
Will I give you time?
alright.
Found it, let’s take a look.
You don’t know if you don’t see it, but Wu Di’s heart froze at first glance.
Cannes, which I was most interested in, is probably gone.
Already flown.
March!
Who would have thought that it was already April, and without Wu Di noticing it, the submission time for the Cannes Film Festival had already passed!
How can this be?
According to Wu Di's imagination, when a big shot like him comes, whether it's a big three or a big five, these film festivals should be cleaned up and waiting for him to choose.
As a result, before he could make up his mind, he was shocked to find that the most valuable one had already passed the deadline!
That’s not true!
However, how can people compete with fate?
What's more, time is running in a hurry and will never look back. Even if you are not convinced, time will not stand still and wait for you.
So, let’s look elsewhere.
Wu Di was even more fortunate that Cannes expired. Fortunately, he was wise enough and quick enough. If it were delayed any longer, he might not even be able to repay Shuicheng.
Yes.
You wouldn't know if you didn't check, but after checking, you find out that Cannes has expired and Shuicheng is not far away.
It ends in June.
There are less than two months left...
In fact, the time limit for Water City is very loose and reasonable, because, according to the characteristics of the film festival, although it is held that year, many of the films selected were filmed last year.
So, for films that were produced last year, the submission time in the middle of this year is very loose.
