Chapter 647 The world is all for profit
As for the number of Wanwan filmmakers invited, the main reason is that there are really not many real filmmakers here. Many filmmakers have come to Hong Kong to make a living, and many other filmmakers rely on government support. For these
People can imagine what their own situation is.
Not only do they not have much talent themselves, but their buttocks are also crooked, so sucking them in is a complete mess, and the gain outweighs the loss!
It is said that Zhao Hong, the chairman of the Golden Statue Film Festival, has a relatively relaxed job. As long as he invites filmmakers all over the world, he still has to give him some face.
Even in Hollywood, many small companies come here to buy films, while large companies come here to select some exciting films for buyout and distribution.
This is also very appropriate.
There are two reasons why he has so much power: one is that he is the chairman of DreamWorks, and there are really too few filmmakers in the world who don't give him face. Even the other six major Hollywood companies are doing it openly.
He and DreamWorks are good brothers, and the stabbings are only done secretly.
Another thing is that it is indeed profitable to participate. Whether it is buying or selling movies, it is money. Who doesn't like it?
Many directors bring their films to exhibitions, which is of great benefit in increasing their popularity.
"Master Hong, do you plan to be the chairman of this film festival for the rest of your life?" Zhao Hong communicated with the filmmakers in the circle for several hours, and everyone reached a very understanding opinion. For example, this time the chairman of the jury was handed over to Master Rong. This is still
It was his first time to host such a high-end event. After the building was empty, the two of them randomly found a coffee shop to sit down.
"Why do you ask?", Zhao Hong took a sip of hot coffee. It has been raining lightly today and the temperature has not been high. It felt like the weather in January. After taking a sip of coffee, she felt warm all over her body.
, he was a little confused by Rong Shao’s words.
"I have heard some people talking in private, saying that you have been occupying the chairmanship of the film festival and giving people no hope at all..." Mr. Rong said the bad remarks he had heard one after another during this period.
"Haha!" Zhao Hong said with a sneer: "These people have no skills, and they only dare to beep in private. They are afraid that seeing the film festival becoming more and more prosperous, they can't help but want to pick peaches."
These filmmakers in Xiangjiang are very good at fighting among themselves. If they were allowed to explore the market, it would cost them their lives. They are very good at doing things that cannot be brought to the forefront.
Just because they dared to bark a few times in private, Zhao Hong didn't dare to entrust this film festival to them. Otherwise, he was afraid that all kinds of jokes would appear, and it would not be surprising if some magic tricks appeared.
"Do you think this will affect the film festival?" Rong Shao said a little worriedly. It was the first time for him to participate in such a large-scale event, so he was cautious in everything he did.
Zhao Hong takes all of this seriously, "What impact can it have? As long as the film festival is fair and just, don't care too much about other aspects. If they follow their wishes, the film festival will really get worse and worse."
Zhao Hong didn't take this seriously. In fact, most of the people who complained were the kind who were a bit old but didn't know how to do shit.
Asked him if he had ever made a movie, the answer was no.
Ask him if he has ever been a producer of classic films, and the answer is no.
…
What they do is criticize the popular movie, but it actually has no connotation at all.
If you have the ability, go ahead!
"How about we, the judges, add a few of them?" Mr. Rong still wanted to settle the matter, so he said a compromise.
"No, please don't. These people are just trying to get their noses in their faces. If they know that complaining has such benefits, then they will be even more noisy next time. Besides, they don't know much about movies. Let them be among the judges. This
Isn't it a joke?" Zhao Hong said a little indignantly.
After hearing what Zhao Hong said, Rong Shao felt that it was right, so he said nothing more.
While Zhao Hong and the others were chatting in a coffee shop, in a tea restaurant in Kowloon, a group of old men in their 70s and 80s who made a living by making film reviews were also discussing the film festival.
"Mr. Zhu, the Golden Statue Film Festival is becoming more and more kitsch. Although it is getting louder and louder, it cannot cover up its emptiness. I think the person hosting this film festival is still too young and does not understand solemnity at all. I think it is still
I need seniors like you to take care of things..."
"Yes! Mr. Zhu owes a lot of credit to the establishment of the Academy Awards! But now you see, they are not polite to you at all. This time they even let Zhang Guorong be the chairman of the jury. Isn't this nonsense?"
"Today's young people! They must not know how to be grateful. It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front die on the beach. Since Zhao Hong presided over the film festival, we have been marginalized. This is really annoying."
…
This tea party was led by Zhu Zhi. These people are the kind of film critics who don't have much talent and just get paid to write some casual movie reviews.
Among them, Zhu Zhi is somewhat capable. He has rich qualifications. One of them is that he is a producer of the generation who worked with Chow Daheng in Shaw Brothers. Although he has not made any earth-shattering achievements, his qualifications are too old.
After the closure of Shaw Brothers, he became a man with nothing to do. He was not too worried about his own life. When he was a producer at Shaw Brothers, he did not work in anything. His current net worth is around tens of millions, mainly because he has his own
I have a house, several million Hong Kong dollars in savings, and I write a few movie reviews from time to time, but I still charge a lot of money.
So the life was very nourishing.
It's just that this person wants to get more as soon as he is free, especially this time, the chairman of the jury of the Golden Statue Film Festival is determined to win. For this reason, he also gathered a group of frustrated veterans to spread some rumors, with the purpose of forcing Zhao Hong to weirdly
I gave in, but what I didn't expect was that I didn't catch anything in the end.
Are you angry or not?
He felt a lot better when he heard that the people he invited were fighting against him.
In fact, they are basically grasshoppers on a vine. They have formed a film critic group. As long as they receive money, they will unite and hack together. There are about thirty people in total.
Many films released by small film companies with low investment, if they were paid to work, would get 20 or 30 critical reviews at once, and many films would be out of stock. As for the box office, you can imagine.
Because Zhu Zhi had been making trouble in this area in the past few years, he thought that he was just a figure, but he didn't expect that others ignored him. Zhao Hong did not invite them to the banquets held by Zhao Hong.
"Today's young people! They have no respect for the elderly at all. It seems that it is time for us to take out a pen and make our voices heard. Next, we have to denounce it in major newspapers, otherwise they will think that we are all dead!
"
Zhu Zhi said with a somewhat angry tone.
He was aching for not being the chairman of the jury this time. How much money would it cost?
If he becomes the chairman of the jury this time, his identity and status will really rise, and his words will have more weight. In the future, film reviews will not be done with just a few bucks, at least they will have to turn up the page.
several times.
And as a host of such a big film festival, just for those who want to be on the jury list, I can charge them tens of thousands each, which is not too much!
If that movie wants to win an award, it shouldn't be too much for him, the chairman of the jury, to do some public relations!
After this, maybe after a film festival, his pockets will be greatly expanded.
He is still a little afraid of Zhao Hong. In the capital society of Xiangjiang, if you can't get along with the capitalists, you are looking for death!
Especially the fate of the Ni family and his son in the past few years is still vivid in our minds!
Furthermore, Qin Xianglin is still wallowing in the crooked circles. I heard that he is already in poverty and has started to take on some three-person movies.
Thinking about these things makes me shudder.
In the end, they put their attack on Young Master Rong. As for how to attack him, it goes without saying that relying on nepotism will make him drown in saliva.
The newspapers in Xiangjiang were abuzz over the next few days. Many new pen names appeared inexplicably to attack Mr. Rong, mainly saying that he relied on nepotism to obtain the position of chairman of the jury.
