In fact, many people underestimate the art film market.
Especially in foreign countries, art films generally have their own unique channels, including theaters and DVD sales, and have a very complete market system.
Those works that have won awards at major film festivals will have long-term copyrights purchased by relevant companies and have been rotated in the corresponding theater system. At the same time, ordinary or collector's edition physical DVDs will be sold.
The relevant market is much larger than many people imagine.
Of course, this also requires the quality of the film to be excellent. After all, whether it is an art film or a commercial film, there are high and low grades in any category of works.
If a commercial film doesn't do well, it won't sell well at the box office. The same principle applies to art films.
The film "Living Alone" is of very good quality and can resonate with people in all regions to a certain extent.
After all, how to live alone, how to face loneliness and loneliness, this is a problem that all human beings need to face and think about, and no one can escape it.
Therefore, many foreign film producers have come to discuss copyright purchase or agency matters with Ping An Investment.
If it is a one-time copyright buyout, the price will be higher, and you can do whatever you want with it after purchasing.
If you are a copyright agent, the price will be lower, and only some theaters will be allowed to play it within a certain period of time, and there will also be relevant restrictions on video production.
Chen Feng and An Ruohua have only had preliminary contacts with some foreign film producers for a few rounds now. For more in-depth cooperation details, Ping An Investment will need to send people to negotiate in detail.
Although Ping An Investment does not have much experience in this area yet, people from Tailang Entertainment can help first. Tailang is developing very fast now and has already had relevant professional copyright cooperation departments, including overseas
The business has already been on the right track, and when the time comes, let the people from Tailang and Ping An Investment handle it together.

The dinner with the creative team of "Living Alone" was quite pleasant. Director Yan Yue is different from some art film directors with eccentric personalities. Although she is a writer, she does not have that kind of literary and artistic atmosphere that makes people very uncomfortable.
On the contrary, she is very proficient in interpersonal communication and business dealings, and handles everything in an all-round way. It makes people feel very comfortable to communicate with her.
Anyway, An Ruohua liked chatting with her, and Chen Feng also admired this kind of person.
Sometimes some people who engage in literature and art always make themselves nervous. In fact, literature and art are literature and art, and life is life. It is better to deal with the two separately.
You can be as literary and artistic as you want when you create, but in life it is best to keep the same pace as the mainstream public, otherwise you will easily be rejected by everyone and add a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Just like Yan Yue, the films he makes are very artistic and contain a lot of thoughts about human nature and the soul, but when socializing, he is also reasonable and not annoying, which is really rare.
Even Chen Feng sometimes feels that he is not as knowledgeable as others in doing things.
In fact, many things can be handled in a gentler and smarter way, but this will be more troublesome. Therefore, some people often prefer to face everything in a direct and rough way.
The same goes for Chen Feng. For example, many times, he doesn't want to face the media or the public, and sometimes he even avoids it directly. Although this does reduce some trouble, it is actually not the best way to deal with it.
Of course, the most important way to choose to solve the problem is to choose according to your own conditions.
If you have money and strength, of course you can choose to solve the problem roughly and simply, as long as you can bear the consequences.

Relatively speaking, Qi Yuqiang seems a bit immature.
Although he is different from the character he played in the movie, he is more clever and nimble in reality, but he obviously does not have much experience in interacting with people at the dinner table. After all, he was just a bit player before, and now he suddenly plays the leading role.
It was difficult for him to accept this huge gap for the time being.
For example, when everyone was drinking together, he drank all the wine in his glass without hesitation. Even though it was uncomfortable, he just winked and didn't show too much pain.
Well, looking at it this way, his character is really a bit iron-Hanhan, although he is a smarter Tiehanhan.
After a brief chat with Qi Yuqiang, Chen Feng discovered that this person was actually very similar to the famous actor in his dream world.
Although the details of many things are different, the overall macro trajectory is really imaginable.
He comes from a poor rural area in the north. He was sent to a sports school to practice martial arts since he was a child. Later, when he was young, he followed a few fellow villagers to work in a film and television city, where he stayed at the bottom until Yan Yue fell in love with him at a glance.
Gave him the opportunity to star in "Living Alone".
Qi Yuqiang has a strong learning ability. During the filming of the movie, he often communicated with Yan Yue and worked hard to learn all the new knowledge he could come into contact with. In terms of acting, because he did not come from a major, he has always been a little unsure, until now he is starring in
After his movie won the award, he finally became more and more confident.
When chatting with Chen Feng, Qi Yuqiang was actually quite nervous. After all, he had been working as a sidekick for many years, and he often listened to the stories of the big bosses told by his lower-level colleagues in the circle.
Among them, the one that people have discussed the most recently is Chen Feng.
After all, "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "Infernal Affairs", "Shark Beach" and other movies have amazing box office, and as an investor, Chen Feng's money is calculated in hundreds of millions.
As soon as such a topic is mentioned, it will immediately arouse everyone's excitement and yearning.
"How great would it be if one day I could make money like others?"
"Made, if I could earn hundreds of millions, I would buy our film and television city. I scold those team leaders every day!"
"Okay, stop dreaming. Think about how to earn a few thousand yuan first. Have you got the rent for next month?"
Qi Yuqiang hears similar conversations every day.
He also fantasized about what he would do if he could earn so much money, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't imagine too many things.
The most you can do is to go back to your hometown and build a house yourself, or directly bring people from your hometown to the city?
And then you can travel around, eat, drink and have fun every day?
But it seemed quite boring...so later on he stopped daydreaming like this.
However, he never expected that now, he would have the opportunity to sit at the same dining table with Chen Feng for dinner.
Moreover, Chen Feng seemed to be quite enthusiastic about him, looking at him with eyes full of admiration.
This made Qi Yuqiang himself feel a little scared.
