So sometimes, whether a person can succeed depends on his talent and knowledge on one side, and his hard work on the other side, but his luck will also occupy more or less one side.
If you want to say how great and classic the movie "Black Mine" is, then it is definitely not the case. This movie has not reached that point yet, but this movie does have merit in terms of its conception and selection of materials.
, there is no doubt about this.
The judges at the Berlin Film Festival are also experts in the film industry, so they can see the meaning of this movie. This movie should be regarded as a masterpiece, but it cannot be called a classic.
.
However, meeting the right person at the right time and meeting the right opportunity at the right time are all the secrets of success. It is the same this time, because the Glass Film Festival actually needs a film like this to improve itself.
Influence in the Chinese film circle.
As the second largest economic entity in the world, it is absolutely impossible to say that domestic film festivals are not envious. It is also necessary to have a good relationship with China.
For example, if Ye Ming has no money this time and cannot spend money on public relations and publicity, then even if Robinson is optimistic about your movie at this time, you cannot call the judges to discuss the movie.
As for your attitude, if you don’t work hard at all, how can others help you, right?
So, at this time, it is because of the development of China's economy. Even if someone has money, it is not a big deal if someone gives out 500,000 yuan.
It is precisely because China has money and Ye Ming is willing to spend the money that this movie can be seen by people like Robinson and others.
At this time, Ye Ming also felt that he should have spent money, he had spent money, and he had done what he should do. Then he could only leave it to fate whether the film would win the award, because he had already done almost everything he should do.
, but thinking about the final result, there were only three reporters left. This is a bit small, and it seems that our side is a bit weak. Since we have followed to Berlin, there are actually reporters
It would be hard to watch many movies that can achieve recovery, let alone this movie.
No matter how you say it, you still have the symptoms you should have, so if you think about it at this time, the reporter still has to be more or less anxious to come over, so he called Wang Xiaoshu directly. I think
Is it true that he doesn't have much influence in the film industry, but his family has great influence in the film industry, so there shouldn't be any big problem in asking him for help.
After the call was connected, Ye Ming immediately said: "Xiaoshu, I have some problems here and I need your help to find 10 to 8 reporters, preferably from mainstream media.
In this case, come to Berlin quickly. The movie "Black Mine" that I participated in has entered the main competition. In the end, there are only three reporters following us. Do you think our crew should still be there?
It’s about saving face, right?
There are only three reporters accompanying me, which is obviously a slap in the face."
As for Wang Xiaoshu, he was very surprised after hearing this and said: "Ye Zi, it's incredible, you actually went to Berlin. I didn't expect that the small film you made could actually enter the main competition section of the Berlin Film Festival.
This is really surprising.
You're just lucky, right?
But don't blame me for not helping. I really can't help with this kind of thing, because in this situation, I actually know your movie very well. Although I haven't seen your movie
Yes, but I've heard the general meaning, especially the important point is that your film was shot without approval, right?
You haven’t taken over the shooting area and you haven’t finished filming the movie, and you can’t get the Dragon Ball, so it’s an underground movie, and you went to participate in an international film festival privately without permission. What’s wrong with you?
Can the relevant departments feel angry? Is that right?
So your movie is destined to be invisible. At least if you want to publicize it on a large scale in China, it is almost impossible. You also asked me to find 10 to 8 reporters for you. It is best to
Mainstream media. Is this possible?
The main reason is that after this group of reporters passed by, even if he interviewed your news, would any media dare to publish it after he sent it back? Right?
This movie of yours is an underground movie. It is impossible for you to carry out large-scale publicity and it is impossible to release it in China. Anyway, I think you don’t have to worry too much about this kind of thing. Just walk on the other side of Berlin.
Walk on the red carpet or something, and then post some news about yourself. Oh, to increase your influence in the entertainment industry. Take this opportunity to show everyone that you have also walked on the red carpet of the International Film Festival.
Celebrities, this will be good for your future worth.
So if you ask me to find a reporter to go there, think about who will go there. All the reporters who followed you have come back. Now if you ask me to find a reporter to go there, that is impossible. Let me tell you, you will not go there at all.
You don’t have to spend this money, you know?
If you spend this money, it will be a waste."
Ye Ming immediately said: "What if I win the award, right? If the movie I starred in really wins the award at the Berlin Film Festival, what kind of results do you think it will be? Is this reportable?
Woolen cloth?
Is this our movie right?
It is also based on real news. We did not discredit anything. We just made a semi-documentary film based on facts. So in such a situation, we just disobeyed and participated in the international film festival. At this time
We will definitely be punished.
But to ban them all, it seems that ours is somewhat inappropriate. If we really win the award, I will assume it myself. Then I estimate that even if the relevant departments want to punish us, we will definitely hold it high.
Yes, there is definitely a multiplication of softly falling, but it definitely does not mean that publicity and reporting are not allowed. After all, if our film wins an award, it will also be a source of pride for the people below. We also represent the Chinese film industry and come out to participate.
As for the election, at this time, we won the award, so you said that the domestic ones don't give us any registration, isn't it a bit inappropriate?
If we don't release it, we think that we are making underground films after all, so we cannot be recognized. It is admitted that we bear such losses, but you said that after we win the award, we will have to accept punishment when we return, and we will do whatever we want. This is more or less
It's a little hard to accept.
So let’s face it, I don’t care if you’re right or not. If you spend more money, let me tell you, this Valentine’s Day, I have already spent 500,000 US dollars on public relations and publicity. So, how about you invite some reporters?
Come here, I don’t care about the phone bill. When you come, I will reimburse the round trip expenses, arrange food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation, and make everything nice for you. And I will definitely have something interesting for everyone by then. Anyway,
I know that according to the rules, I understand the rules in the circle. If we win an award, will these reporters report it?"
Wang Xiaoshou thought for a while and then said: "If you really win the award, it is indeed possible, but we have not won the award for 5 years. What can we say about our country's films? They are waiting for this moment anyway. You
If you really bring glory to the country, the punishment will definitely be lighter.
But who can say well about this matter, and there is also a premise that your film has really won an award, which is very important. Are you sure that you can win an award? It is better to be able to actually win an award. If you can't win an award,
Then you may get some special attention when you come back.
So when you said that you would invite reporters to do publicity, that was based on the premise that you won the award, right?
The Berlin Film Festival is not run by your family. If you say you win an award, you will win. This is a bit inappropriate, right? Even if Director Zhang went there, he would not dare to say that his film will definitely win an award when it comes to Bollington.
Okay, so when it comes to this matter, I think you should think about it carefully. There is no problem in inviting reporters over, but at this time, you have to be more cautious and don’t invite reporters too early. After all, you remember
It’s better to live with three reporters, right?
If you really win the prize, send a message back as soon as possible, and I will help you with the news."
Ye Ming immediately said: "I'm afraid it will be too late by then, right?
We need to be prepared for any emergencies. Even if we can't find a dozen mainstream media outlets, we can hire reporters from a few large websites and print media. Anyway, just reporters. Come over here as soon as possible. I'm waiting for you here.
"
Although Ye Ming himself is not very sure about whether he can win the award, at this time, he must give himself a certain degree of confidence, give Wang Xiaoshou a certain degree of confidence, and even give the crew a certain degree of confidence.
, if he himself doesn’t have much confidence, then the entire crew, as well as his colleagues and audiences far away from home, they will have even less confidence.
Therefore, even if we have to face our own Great Wall at this time, we must hold on to the situation.
After all, they will face more severe challenges next. Although he has spent all the money that should be spent, PR has been done, and publicity has been publicized, but in the end, when it comes time to take advantage of the situation, it still has to be done.
You have to go there in person, so since the final awards are not announced at this time, everything is possible.
So, at this time, Ye Ming saw that there were only three reporters still following the crew, so he must call some reporters over. He didn't care about spending money. Anyway, as long as he could win the prize in the end, no matter what he invested, he would be included in his own money.
The profit was brought back.
If he doesn't win the prize, it will only make people feel surprised, and his investment will be in vain.
Wang Xiaoshu has no choice. Since Ye Ming is willing to spend money, he can only help. 500,000 US dollars is a lot of money for Wang Xueshu, so from this point on, Wang Xiaoshu also knows about Yue Ming.
Determined, let’s find some reporters there.
If Ye Ming is really lucky and wins the award, it will indeed be an opportunity.
At this time, Wang Xiaoshu still has no problem finding a few reporters. Although it is impossible to invite reporters from mainstream media, some print media and some websites, etc., have always been able to go out. Of course, they all have official
I can’t say that a reporter with a press certificate is particularly influential in the entertainment industry, but at least he is considered a relatively influential reporter in his respective media.
At this time, Ye Ming called and sent a message to Mingyue.
Mingyue is a little surprised. A movie like "Black Mine" can actually win an award. Is it true? Ye Ming, don't joke with me.
Ming Lie went to shoot a movie like Black Mine, actually to save the scene. In the end, he saw that his role was so small. Although he didn't say anything, Ming Yue's company was a little unhappy, so he and the crew
There was a conflict, and in the end they actually fell out. So, this time, he was supposed to be the female lead in the Berlin Forestry Bureau, but because the company and the crew had a falling out, so in such a situation, she only
I can take a step back.
Because you can't have your cake and eat it too, this is naturally the time for her to make a choice.
Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but finally thought of the harsh contract she signed with the company, and finally regretfully said that she could ask for instructions, but she couldn't guarantee whether she would be able to go.
Ye Ming knew that the possibility of success in this matter was not very high, because there was no room for relaxation at all. The top management of Mingyue's company would not believe that a movie like Black Mine would be released in the Berlin Film Festival.
Festival award-winning.
Otherwise, Mingyue would have been asked to come with the crew. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming had no choice but to express his regrets and hang up the phone.
As expected, few people in the domestic entertainment industry are optimistic about this movie. But think about it, the movie "Black Mine" is an underground movie with low cost, no famous director and no famous actors.
It was Ming Yue who made a cameo appearance and had a falling out with the crew.
If a movie like this is expected to win an award, then it is more or less unconvincing that it can win an award internationally.
Originally, even if Mingyue was deceived, she would play a heroine with not many roles, but she is still a heroine. If she can walk on the red carpet, it will be very helpful for her future, but unfortunately, she
The company was too short-sighted and missed such a rare opportunity.
As a friend, Ye Ming can be said to have tried his best.
