Compared to Nakamura Masahiro, a new director, Fukawa Eihiro and others were obviously a bit of an eyesore. After some polite greetings, at Chen Gege’s signal, Fukawa Eihiro and others left in a sensible manner.
Originally they were stammering when chatting, and it took them a long time to guess two sentences. If it weren't for the comparative example of Masahiro Nakamura, Chen Gege would still have a lot of patience for the sake of his foreign colleagues.
But with Nakamura Masahiro speaking fluent Chinese for comparison, Chen Gege really couldn't bear it anymore. Instead of wasting his saliva and energy on guessing, it would be better to have a good chat with Nakamura Masahiro for a while.
After all, Chen Gezi still doesn’t know whether Fukawa Eihi and the others will make their mark in the future. Anyway, this new Japanese director named Nakamura Masahiro is really about to become famous in the film industry.
It would be okay if he hadn't met him, but now that he has met him, Chen Gege still wants to show off and act as a guide for the younger generation in the film industry.
Even though Masahiro Nakamura, a new Japanese director, is about to win the Berlin Film Festival Grand Prix, but in front of him, the Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, it is still a little bit underwhelming.
However, Chen Gege's plan obviously didn't work. After a simple and in-depth exchange, he not only failed to stump the new director Masahiro Nakamura, but was even a little overwhelmed by some of the other's novel ideas.
Aren’t new directors supposed to have little knowledge? Aren’t they supposed to lack experience? How come Nakamura Masahiro, a new Japanese director, speaks so clearly and clearly that he doesn’t look like a novice in the film industry at all.
If it weren't for Nakamura Masahiro's immature appearance, based on his performance alone, it would be no exaggeration to say that he is a veteran in the film industry.
Are all new Japanese directors so good? I thought it was good luck that he won the award at the Berlin Film Festival, but I didn't expect that his ability was quite good.
"Director Nakamura is truly a leader of the new generation, and he really has great insights."
When Chen Gezi couldn't stop complaining in his heart, Chen Hong on the side quickly tried to smooth things over: This new Japanese director looks very simple, and even Chen Hong was stumped.
"If there is an opportunity in the future, we can cooperate."
"sure...."
Of course, Nakamura Masahiro would not take such polite words seriously, but he still had to give a necessary response: Although he did not like the two people in front of him, he was not a fool, and there was no need to offend them out of thin air.
After a few casual exchanges, Nakamura Masahiro left. Chen Gezi waited until Nakamura Masahiro walked away, then turned to look at Chen Hong and said, "What, you want to cooperate with him?"
"Isn't it possible?"
Chen Hong asked back, looking at Chen Gege's sullen face, so he explained: "New Japanese directors should be very cheap. The fact that he won an award at the Berlin Film Festival proves his ability. If there is a chance, why not
Can we cooperate?"
"What you said makes some sense."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Gezi nodded and agreed with the other party's idea. As a director, he can make a movie every three or five years, but if Chen Hong, a producer, does the same, it would be a bit wasteful.
"When you take a break, we will cooperate with him and you can also choose to invest in his film projects."
Probably because he really had an idea, Chen Hong became smoother and smoother as he spoke, and his tone gradually became more serious.
"When the time comes, we will separate the domestic and foreign markets. We will only need the domestic market and copyright."
"Domestic movie box office has been rising in the past few years. At present, there is still a lot of room for growth... As for foreign markets, it's okay not to."
Compared with director Chen Gege, Chen Hong, as a producer, obviously has a deeper understanding of the development trends of the film industry.
After all, the domestic movie box office has been getting higher and higher in recent years. As long as you pay a little attention to the general data of the industry, you can make a basic judgment.
Compared with the gradual increase in the box office of domestic movies, the situation of Chinese-language movies abroad is not so good, and most of them are directly bought and distributed by film companies.
Except for a few very famous superstars and famous directors, it is actually difficult for ordinary Chinese-language movies to achieve good box office results abroad.
On the one hand, foreign film companies do not provide many screening resources, so it would be great to have dozens of screens for screening.
After all, ordinary Chinese-language films do not have many advantages, and foreign film producers do not dare to invest too many resources without the confidence. And without the blessing of a large number of resources, it is naturally difficult for Chinese-language films to obtain high box office abroad.
On the other hand, there are factors of cultural differences. Except for action movies, a globally popular movie type, other types of movies have unavoidable cultural barriers.
Even if Hollywood, which can be marketed in film markets around the world, encountered the film market of Indian culture, it was still beaten violently by the singing and dancing Asan.
"Nakamura-san, how was the conversation?"
After meeting Yosuke Mukai who was waiting a little impatiently, Masahiro Nakamura and him left the coffee shop.
"Not much, just a casual chat."
"No way...."
Mukai Yosuke followed closely, expressing doubts about Nakamura Masahiro's words: "I see you guys have been chatting for so long."
"believe it or not...."
Glancing at Mukai Yosuke, Nakamura Masahiro replied angrily. Then, he walked straight out of the coffee shop with long legs.
The sky was gloomy, and the dim street lamps had already been lit. The bright rays of light scattered freely and intertwined with each other, making the surrounding area look like daytime.
The streets are full of bustling people, and there are all kinds of noisy noises. The chattering makes people feel like they are in a vegetable market.
Time flows as fast as a speeding car, passing quietly in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.
Time soon came to Sunday, and Masahiro Nakamura and Yosuke Mukai rushed to the Cinema Palace in Potsdamer Platz early.
They came to attend the closing ceremony of the Berlin Film Festival and the final awards ceremony: all the winners who were notified stayed, and those who did not win basically left.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Nakamura, you are here too early."
Seeing Masahiro Nakamura, Dieter Kosli couldn't help but say hello: "The awards ceremony will be a while away, there is no need to come so early."
"It's okay anyway, so I came here first."
Smiling at Dieter Cosley, Masahiro Nakamura responded politely: "Just think of it as getting used to the atmosphere of the award ceremony in advance."
"also...."
Dieter Kosli's face was filled with a kind smile. He was very optimistic about this new Japanese director: he was young and talented and could be trained to become a direct director of the Berlin Film Festival.
"From now on, if your work is to be included in the Berlin Film Festival, you don't need to go through other channels. Just contact me directly."
According to the Berlin Film Festival's competition rules, if an ordinary director's work is to be shortlisted for the film festival, it needs to go through a series of steps such as film selection.
However, due to the extremely large number of films registered every year, film selection experts cannot watch all the films registered even if they work overtime.
Therefore, the usual approach is to only watch the beginning of the movie, or a few minutes, or a dozen minutes.
If the film is really amazing, it may be passed and then shortlisted for the next step. But if it is mediocre, it will be directly excluded.
In fact, many participating films failed in this early film selection stage. On the one hand, the new director's ability is indeed limited, and on the other hand, nothing can be seen from the short clip at the beginning of the film.
Therefore, if you want to be successfully shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, there are only two simple and direct ways.
Either the film is shot by a well-known director and has a certain quality. Only when you pay more attention to it will you have the patience to watch the entire film.
Either it is recommended by a well-known person in the film industry. Because it is guaranteed by the reputation of the famous person, it will also attract great attention from the Berlin Film Festival.
For example, this is the case with the movie "A Long Day" directed by Masahiro Nakamura. If it weren't for Wakamatsu Kouji's relationship, it would most likely be buried among the many newcomers' films.
After all, no matter how good a film is, not much can be seen from the short opening sequence. If there is any lack of luck, the film selection experts may give up after just one glance.
Now that Dieter Kosley is a direct channel, it means that Masahiro Nakamura's films will be directly eligible for inclusion in the future.
Because Dieter Kosli was still busy with work, the two quickly ended their conversation. After walking a few steps, Nakamura Masahiro and Mukai Yosuke met Isabella Rossellini again.
As president of the Berlin Film Festival's jury, Isabella Rossellini will be in charge of tonight's awards.
"Hi, Nakamura...."
Seeing Masahiro Nakamura appear, Isabella Rossellini greeted him warmly. As for Yosuke Mukai on the side, he only had simple courtesy.
Mukai Yosuke was also very sensible. He said hello to Nakamura Masahiro and then found a place to hang out.
Although he is the star of the movie "A Long Day", compared to the film director Masahiro Nakamura, everyone is obviously less interested in him.
"Ms. Rossellini..."
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a faint smile appeared on Nakamura Masahiro's face. He responded politely: "You are here so early?"
"I originally had something to do with Dieter Kosli, so I came over in advance."
After a brief chat, Isabella Rossellini turned the topic to the directing opportunity for a film project.
"Nakamura, after you return to Japan, direct a commercial movie as soon as possible."
Facing Nakamura Masahiro's questioning eyes, Isabella Rossellini explained: "I have already recommended you, but I have a concern. After all, there is a big difference between commercial films and literary films. I think
We need to see your ability to control commercial films..."
