Chapter five hundred and forty-two, I'm not playing anymore, I'm going to the film festival
"Mr. Luo, thank you for your hospitality."
Chen Mubai stood up and offered tea instead of wine to Luo Fan.
Luo Fan knew that Chen Mubai was a singer and needed to protect his voice. He rarely drank, so he didn't care.
The last time we were in Haishi, it was like this. Although this time is different from the past, it is not much different.
If anything, the names of Mubai Entertainment and Chen Mubai are more famous than they were back then.
"You're welcome, why are we so unfamiliar?" Luo Fan stood up and asked Chen Mubai to sit down, don't be so polite.
"It's good that I can help you. After the film is sent for review, what happens next is out of my control. It's all the reviewers' business." Luo Fan said sternly.
Although he has some connections, it is limited to priority review, which does not allow them to lower the review standards or allow the work to pass the review.
After all, it is one of the three major film festivals in Europe and the world, with the highest popularity and value in the world. He does not have the power to bribe the reviewers.
Moreover, the review by the organizers of the film festival is very strict. The award-winning works cannot be bribed and are selected based on quality.
This is also an important reason why they can survive. If there is a shady story and it is exposed, how can there be so many filmmakers flocking to it?
It is precisely because it ensures the principle of absolute fairness that the film festival is of the same blood to everyone and everyone follows artistic choices, that the Venice Film Festival has a lofty status.
Luo Fan also told Chen Mubai that what he can do is give priority to review and ensure that the work can be reviewed within the deadline, but he doesn't know whether it will pass the test.
All this depends on the quality of the work, and there is a limit to what he can do.
Chen Mubai naturally knew what Luo Fan meant, and he smiled broadly: "That's enough. Thank you Mr. Luo for your help, otherwise I might not have this opportunity!"
If he submitted his work himself, it is very likely that due to time constraints, the film festival officials would not have time to review it, and he would naturally not have the opportunity to participate in the film festival.
"Don't be so unfamiliar by calling me Mr. Luo. I'll tell you, I'm older than you, so you won't suffer any loss if you call me Brother Luo." Luo Fan said with a smile.
This is a good opportunity to get closer to Chen Mubai. He is very optimistic about Chen Mubai's development and has strengthened his determination since Haishi.
That's why he greeted Chen Mubai on New Year's Day, just to leave a good impression on him.
Facts have proved that he was right.
A few months later, his TV series "Let's Get Married" became extremely popular again, and he himself also entered the film industry and made a movie.
No matter what the movie says, just by virtue of his ambition and ability, Chen Mubai is destined to be no ordinary person. This kind of decisiveness and determination are not something ordinary people can possess.
"No problem, Brother Luo." Chen Mubai shouted with a smile.
"When brothers have something to do, I, as the older brother, will naturally try my best to help you." Luo Fan said happily: "When you come to Xiangjiang, I am the host and you are the guest. You can enjoy it with peace of mind. I will work hard to help you complete your matter.
!”
Because of the special geographical characteristics of Xiangjiang, the people here are very united and have a strong Jianghu atmosphere.
A person like Luo Fan, who has climbed up all the way, naturally has this kind of martial arts spirit. He spoke to Chen Mubai and slapped his shoulders hard, making a banging sound, as a guarantee.
"Thank you, Brother Luo." Chen Mubai thanked him again.
"You're still polite to me!" Luo Fan pretended to be angry to show his dissatisfaction.
"My problem, I was wrong!"
Chen Mubai paid tribute to Luo Fan again to express his apology.
Both of them laughed in a friendly manner and were very harmonious.
Both of them were quite satisfied with the result, which was also the best result.
Although Chen Mubai calls Luo Fan brother Luo and Luo Fan calls Chen Mubai brother, these are very common names in the business world and are not real brothers.
However, this relationship must be much closer than before, at least it has left the category of acquaintance and entered the category of friends and acquaintances.
When people are not familiar with each other, they will call each other by their names or positions. When they are familiar with each other, they will call each other by nicknames or brother. This is also the case for two people.
This kind of relationship also involves closeness. Chen Mubai and Luo Fan became friends through a relationship of interest. As long as there is no conflict of interest, the relationship will remain.
Like Lu Fang and Li Feng, Chen Mubai also called them brothers, but compared to Luo Fan, their relationship was closer. It was no longer a matter of interests, but a sincere relationship.
This is the same for Luo Fan. Once Chen Mubai is really in trouble, his relationship with Chen Mubai will gradually drift away. This is not because of his reality, but because this is the relationship between him and Chen Mubai.
He and Chen Mubai didn't know each other before he became famous. They became friends through interests, so naturally they stopped there.
Unless the relationship improves by leaps and bounds later, the relationship will not reach the level of Lu Fang and others.
In this meeting between Chen Mubai and Luo Fan, both of them got the results they wanted.
After Luo Fan helped Chen Mubai, he found connections and seized the time to send "Buried Alive" and related information to the reviewers of the Venice Film Festival.
He knew that Chen Mubai came here for this matter. If he did not complete this matter, he was afraid that Chen Mubai would not be in the mood to relax. He had something on his mind and would not be happy no matter what he did.
…
Things are going very smoothly on Chen Mubai's side, and a piece of news from Mubai Entertainment caused a stir on the Internet again.
Just because Mubai Entertainment issued an announcement.
"Due to some special reasons, "Buried Alive" has withdrawn from its premiere on the 26th and postponed its release date. Therefore, I would like to say sorry to all the fans and fans who have been waiting for it for a long time."
"This withdrawal is our own decision because we want to participate in the Venice Film Festival. We hope everyone can continue to support us. Thank you for your continued support..."
This announcement pushed the relevant information of "Buried Alive" to a peak!
The announcement stated that the premiere time is on the 26th, which is the same time as the previous news on the Internet. Does that mean that it is true?
Mubai Entertainment has not announced the release date before, and there is no evidence to speculate on the fact of the person who broke the news, so the heat of the matter is gone.
But now that the notice mentions the time, it becomes obvious that the person’s revelations are very credible!
"To sum up, what Chen Mubai means is: I don't want to play anymore, I'm going to the film festival!"
"Holy crap, it seems like the anonymous revelation before is true!"
"That's true, and coupled with the sudden withdrawal, it can be seen that it has indeed been jointly targeted by the seven major organizations!"
"Shameless, these companies..."
Chen Mubai is also deliberately trying to gain the reputation of the Big Six. After all, China Film's film schedule has been revealed before and is relatively high. They are also the only company excluded by netizens from targeting Mubai Entertainment.
Since China Film is a state-owned enterprise, there is no reason to deal with Chen Mubai.
This announcement brought the Big Six back to the attention of netizens, and everyone started to crusade against them.
Some people defended it and thought it was another hype and marketing by Mubai Entertainment.
"Can we blame Qida? The quality of the movie is obviously not good, so the film schedule is low. Why should we blame the theater chain?"
"Let's talk about it. I think there is no problem on both sides. Mubai Entertainment did not say that the withdrawal was due to film schedules. Didn't he say that he was going to participate in the film festival?"
"Indeed, although the release date of the leak is correct, it does not mean that the rest of the things are true. It is possible that he is a member of the theater himself, so he knows the release date of "Buried Alive."
"That's right. Anyway, I think this matter is planned by someone with care. But Mubai Entertainment said that they were going to participate in the film festival. What kind of news did this come from?"
It is impossible for Mubai Entertainment to tell the truth clearly about the anonymous revelation. Coupled with the deliberate criticism of Qida, even if the matter becomes more popular again, it will only be a matter of time before it is suppressed any longer.
In order to divert the attention of the people, the people from Jiaxing changed the topic to the film festival, and everyone's attention was turned away.
Compared with the matter that could not be discussed without results, the matter of "Buried Alive" being withdrawn to participate in the film festival is obviously more surprising and worthy of discussion.
"I don't understand why it can't be shown in theaters when participating in a film festival? I have seen some works that were shown in theaters and won awards!"
"I think Mubai Entertainment has made a great move. Everyone knows that the quality of "Buried Alive" is not good, so the movie theaters did not schedule the film very well. Even if it is released like this, the box office will not be high. Now it is withdrawn to participate in the film festival.
Once it wins the award, wouldn’t it increase the film’s popularity and greatly increase the box office?”
"Not to mention the story above, I didn't even expect this level! But with the quality of "Buried Alive", can it win an award?"
"It goes without saying that if you spend money to buy awards, you can just get some pheasant awards. On the contrary, it can increase the reputation of the film and get the money back from the box office. In the end, the wool still comes from the sheep."
When they saw someone in the crooked building and said that Mubai Entertainment spent money to buy awards, which were awards from the Venice Film Festival, some netizens laughed out loud and struck hard.
"You're laughing so hard at me. Are the people above you all trolls? Otherwise, they wouldn't have said such stupid things, and they wouldn't have searched for what the Venice Film Festival is, and they're talking about pheasant awards?"
"That is to say, you have to buy it with money. If you can buy an award, countless people will spend money to buy it. I am really ignorant and laughable!"
"Not everyone knows about film festivals. Let me give you some popular science. Everyone knows about the three top film festivals in China, but they are not famous abroad and their value is limited. The Venice Film Festival is the most famous award recognized internationally.
One, that is to say, if you win this award, your ability will be recognized globally, and this film festival has entry requirements, which is that the work cannot be screened outside the home country. "Buried Alive" is equivalent to the world premiere, Chen Mubai has
Courage, awesome!”
This netizen’s popular science has attracted the attention of a lot of people. Not everyone pays attention to movies. Most people may just watch movies and don’t know about the relevant awards of the movies. Let alone the gold content and popularity.
Many people may not even be able to distinguish between pheasant awards. Anyway, there are many pheasant awards whose names sound awesome and their bluffing skills are top-notch.
Many works and young talents have won this kind of award, and then they are given titles such as xxx Best Actor to fool the audience, but in the eyes of insiders, it is just a joke, and everyone knows what it is.
After such popular science, we now know how awesome the Venice Film Festival is, and netizens are excited!
If you win an award, it would be so awesome to be recognized by others around the world!
This gold content is indeed superb, and the analogy is too intuitive.
It's like a high school exam. You may have good scores in the usual monthly exams, but only your high school will recognize you. No matter how good your scores are, others may not recognize you after you go out.
But if you have good scores in the college entrance examination, which are recognized nationwide and recognized by any school, the value will naturally be different!
This is similar to when you win an award such as Best Actor in China. Abroad, others don't recognize it and may not even know about it, but everyone recognizes the Venice Film Festival award.
Chen Mubai's fans began to cheer for him, as did some netizens.
They support domestic works to go global, and also hope that Chen Mubai can succeed. As Chinese people, they are honored.
There are also voices of denigration and belittling.
"A new round of hype, will it be washed away by participating in the film festival? Whether you can be shortlisted or not is the same thing."
"Garbage is garbage, and they will do anything for the sake of hype, but the quality is not good, and the film arrangement is still not good. It just helps to deceive more brainless netizens. Seeing that some people are starting to praise Chen Mubai again, you should know that the strategy is successful!"
"This trash movie dares to compete in film festivals, isn't it just a joke?"
The popularity on the Internet is very high, and it is also the opening ceremony of the Shanghai Film Festival recently, so the influence of this matter has reached a higher level.
