Chapter 84
As the night gets darker, there is no decrease in the number of people on the road. North America is the largest film market in the world, with many fanatical fans, and their hobbies are different. Watching some interesting small productions at the film festival is also a fun place for many people.
Moreover, except for the film festival, most of the films at Lu Show will not be seen in the future.
Not to mention entering the theater, the chances of turning into videotapes or discs are very small.
Then there are the buyers of film companies. Every year, the St. Dennis Film Festival can produce several small productions with good market returns.
"It seems to be the guy from the Atticson company."
The movie was being played at the road show in front of him. Tony pointed to one of the few dozen viewers and said, "What is the one we have seen in the hotel archway? It's called Billy."
Ronan also saw it, looked up at the shaking scene on the screen that was not big, and said to Tony: "Let's go over and take a look."
The two came to the opposite screen, and Billy also saw Ronan and smiled at him, and Ronan returned with a smile.
Both sides were not familiar with each other and didn't speak.
"What a junk movie."
A viewer on Ronan's left hand complained: "I'm so dizzy."
He greeted his female companion: "Let's go, go."
The female companion also shook her head: "The picture quality is too bad."
The two of them turned around and left without any nostalgia.
Ronan ignored these things, held his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other, and looked at the bad scenes on the screen with interest.
The picture quality is really bad, and the shaking is quite powerful.
From his perspective, it is not difficult to see that this is a cheap DV camera and is photographed by hand. Professional equipment like Stenickon has definitely not been used.
After watching for a while, Ronan watched the movie screening again.
There are only two people in this Luxing location, both in their thirties, one is a white man wearing glasses, and the other is a Latin mixed race.
“It’s so bad…”
There were many people complaining about this film, and soon the only people left Ronan, Tony and Billy from Yatison Entertainment.
Tony whispered, "Let's go too, this is not a movie, it's just a bad selfie dv."
But Ronan shook his head: "Don't worry, wait a moment."
He continued to look at the picture, which seemed to be somewhat different from what he remembered. Many places had different orders and too many flaws. It seemed that something was wrong?
Then, Ronan figured it out, editing! It's editing!
It is estimated that after the film in his previous life fell into the hands of the film company, it was edited again.
"Are you here?" Someone walked to the middle of Billy in Ronan and Yatison Entertainment, looked around and said, "Did you find an interesting movie?"
The person who came was Grey Enrique. When he passed by, he saw Ronan and Billy staring at the same movie. As the buyer's sensitive touch, he immediately urged him to come over.
Billy looked at Gray, shrugged, and said, "There are no interesting movies, but I am amazed that the film festival is becoming more and more degenerate. Even such outdoor selfies DVD videos can be used as road show."
As he said that, he shook his head.
Ronan echoed: "The details can reflect the overall situation, and the movies I have watched are disappointing. The film festival is not as good as before."
Of course, Gray Enrique would not believe what the two of them were talking about. After smiling, he stared at the small screen for a while, and the camera trembled violently again. Coupled with the rough and inferior picture, he felt dizzy.
He looked at the two colleagues from both sides again. It turned out that these two people did not tell lies. This was not a movie at all. The home videos he took were better than this.
Sure enough, the St. Denis Film Festival is getting less and less restricted. It’s really a screening that can be done by any rags.
Billy Hoford glanced at Ronan and Gray. Seeing that the two of them kept shaking their heads, they didn't say much, but instead looked at the two of them on the screen.
This DV video is really bad, but it gives him a strange feeling. This feeling makes a professional buyer feel a little valuable, but he can't tell where the value is.
The picture on the small curtain suddenly became dark and there was something wrong with the old projector.
"Sorry." The white man wearing glasses quickly said to the side: "The projector is broken, I'm very sorry."
He didn't mean to repair the projector, but came over instead.
During the screening, he was quietly observing and smelling the smell of a movie buyer from the last few people left behind.
This movie must not be kept at the bottom of the box after filming. He has been to many film companies with film on his back, but none of them showed any interest. It was the last helpless choice to come to the St. Dennis Film Festival.
No one cares about it at the film festival anymore, so he can only go back and throw it away.
"I am Daniel McLeak, the director of this film." The middle-aged man with eyes introduced himself first, then took out his business card and handed it to Ronan, Gray, Billy and others one by one, and said: "We will do a screening tomorrow. I will try to rent a new projector. If you are interested, you can call me and I will notify you of the screening time."
Billy took the business card and replied casually: "Thank you."
Although Gray looked down on this film, he had a very good professional quality as a buyer. Just like when he was treating Ronan, he took the business card politely and said with a smile: "A very distinctive film."
Daniel McLeak finally handed the business card to Ronan. Ronan took a look and said, "It's a very interesting movie."
This is a false statement. Not to mention that the two professional buyers, Billy and Gray, can Tony both have the urge to roll his eyes, can he be more perfunctory?
Ronan put his business card in his pocket, pulled Tony off, and said, "Let's go."
Tony nodded: "Stop watching such bad movies, you should also look for something pleasing to the eye, right?"
Luo Nan said as he walked, "I was dizzy when the camera shaking, and I had enough. Let's go back to sleep."
These words came clearly and Daniel McLeak smiled helplessly. It was really wrong to spend money to shoot this film.
Gray also shook his head. This kind of film has no value. Strictly speaking, it is not a movie at all.
Seeing Grey Enrique leave, Billy hesitated for a moment and left.
I feel like there is value hidden in this film, but reason tells him that even if this kind of ragged thing is thrown on the market, it can’t be sold.
Let’s wait for the director to play the next time he plays the film.
Ninety-nine percent of such films may be hit by the shooting party.
Having said that, the picture is so rough, the camera is so shaky, and there is no storyline to talk about. What should I do when I buy it? Is it directly released the video tape?
Anyway, I am also a veteran movie buyer. It’s too much to go to the St. Denis Film Festival and buy a videotape movie without a market.
Back in the hotel room, Tony changed his clothes and called Ronan to the hotel bar.
"Maybe you can meet a female star?" Tony said to Ronan.
Ronan took out the business card, took out his cell phone, and waved his hand to Tony: "Go, I still have work to deal with."
Seeing that Ronan was better than the business card, Tony opened his mouth wide in surprise: "No, right? Ronan, are you actually interested in that messy movie? You don't want to buy that dv video, right? Can that thing be considered a movie?"
Ronan raised his finger, made a gesture of silence, and then dialed the number.
Tony stared at Ronan incredibly and kept scratching his head: Even if I am not a professional in the film industry, I have watched a lot of movies. The shoddy old man and aunt-level *****s produced in Germany are all better than the DV videos.
Ronan ignored Tony and patiently waited for the call to answer.
"This is Daniel McLeak, is there anything you can help you?"
Hearing this voice, Ronan put away the despise he had deliberately pretended to be, and said calmly: "Hello, Director Daniel McLeak, I am Ronan Anderson, a movie buyer of Relativity Entertainment Group. I watched your video tonight and wanted to ask you to talk."
The sound on the other side of the phone was full of surprises: "Ah...ah! OK! When? Now?"
Ronan couldn't be too anxious, it was not good for the next step. He said lightly: "Tomorrow at 9 o'clock, I'll wait for you in the cafe of the Intercity Hotel in Parker."
