Chapter 3314 So what if I take a gamble?

They didn't eat much at the party that night. After the party, Da Mimi and Yue Ming ordered food to be delivered to the presidential suite.

Damimi will naturally pay attention to her words and deeds in any public situation. This is a required course for a public figure, but in private, especially with an acquaintance like Ye Ming, there is no need to be so careful.

Naturally, she did whatever she felt comfortable with, and while eating a worthless meal, she said: "Yi Zi, are you saying that spending money on this matter may not have any effect? ​​As for the reporters who came with us, there are only three of them now." indivual.

In addition, those reporters went back just because they had reporting assignments in China. This clearly means they don’t think favorably of us, right?

There are only three reporters following us now. This proves that people in China are hesitant about whether we will win or not. With this kind of mentality, they have no confidence in us at all.

Ah, no, I have no confidence in you. There are no big names in the crew, nor is it a famous director. The director's work has not yet been approved by the state to participate in the film festival. Even if it wins the award, the publicity will not be particularly large. At most That is to say, post an article about tofu cubes or something.

So, the media is not very optimistic about us. I think this is a normal thing. If I were a reporter, for those of you who don’t have famous actors, don’t have famous directors, and don’t have any famous background. As for the crew, I’m not optimistic either.

So at this time, if you spend 500,000 US dollars on public relations and promotion of such a movie, I estimate that the possibility of losing money is very high, and it may even be that you lose nothing. "

Ye Ming, as for Ye Ming, did not take this matter to heart, but shook his head and said: "Sister Mi, you can't look at this matter like this, it's like if we don't work hard, there will be no hope at all, right? ?Oh, I myself also know that our film is in a rather awkward position. It is an honor for us to enter the main competition section, and at least it represents a recognition of us by the Berlin Film Festival.

In this case, as long as those of us from directors to actors win awards, we will gain some chips for advancement in the entertainment industry, and others will not dare to look down on us casually. At least we have proven ourselves at the Berlin Film Festival. wrong?

So even if we win an award, there won’t be too much domestic coverage. This is for sure. After all, we are an unapproved underground film, and it reflects a shocking aspect of society. But, you have to think about it, we are not making this up randomly. We are adapting it based on historical events and real news. That is to say, the results have been slightly processed, and the rest is basically the same as the news. , so we are not deliberately discrediting anything, we are just using the lens to reflect the life of a group, that’s it.

Of course, there are things we did wrong in this matter, but if we win the award, it may be possible for the leaders of the relevant domestic departments to open up and face the problem. After all, we are the first to win the award in the past five years. For movies, if we really win an award, by then we won’t dare to say that our movie will be released, but at least it will be publicly reported or online.

It is possible to appear with a legal identity. The key is to see whether you can win awards and whether you can bring glory to the country. We are different from other fields. We are not making things up to deliberately discredit anything. We are The news events captured are truly semi-documentary in nature.

So, I think we still have the value of rescue.

As for why I did this, think about it, sister, I am not saying that I have a lot of capital behind it, this is my wife's capital. If I can lose this, I will have to tighten my belt when I get a wife in the future.

But why would I do this? Because at this time, I know very well in my heart that I don’t have a big background in the entertainment industry, nor do I have any amazing acting skills. I do come from a child star background. My acting skills may be better than those of my peers, but My acting skills have not reached such an amazing level.

So even if my acting is good, even if my acting is very good, it may not be right or wrong whether other people will admit it. After all, I don’t have a big background and I don’t have a financial father.

However, if the movie I star in can win an award at the Berlin Film Festival, it will prove that my acting skills have been recognized by Westerners. If other directors and actors say that my acting skills are not good, they will have to weigh it. I don’t dare to offend the Berlin Film Festival.

In this case, it would be much easier for me to work in the entertainment industry. So I have to take this risk. If I don’t take this risk, then I will have to work hard for 3 to 5 years to prove my acting skills. But if my film can win this award, I can do it in an instant. Prove your acting skills through this award.

For example, when someone attacks me in the future, they may make up claims that I act like a big star, bully newcomers, etc., but they will never say that my acting skills are not good, because my favorite movie won an award at the Berlin Film Festival. .

I don’t know that the 500,000 yuan may be wasted. After all, the West does wear colored glasses towards us. Whether they will choose this movie is hard to say, but we have done everything we should do, right? ?

We have done everything we should do, and we have spent the money we should have spent. As for whether we can win the award, we can only do our best and let fate dictate.

I tried my best. As an actor and as a domestic producer, I tried my best for this movie. I suggest you make this movie go further, but as for whether it can go How far, this may depend on a variety of factors.

Alas, we can just wait for the results now. "

At this time, Damimi suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I see, you are smart enough, you can think of such things.

Of course Ye Ming was very confident at this moment and said that it was natural. There can be many fools in the entertainment industry, right?

I have no choice. You can only throw money at me, which is a bit of a solution, but I am more versatile.

How about I teach you how to play the flute later? Twenty-Four Bridges On a moonlit night, where can a beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?

Especially if there is a dreamlike Victoria's Secret, then it will be even more valuable to appreciate at this time, right? "

As for Da MiMi, her face suddenly turned red. She rolled her eyes at Ye Ming and said, "Ye Ming wants to beat you. You old driver is getting more and more dishonest. Everyone welcomes a goddess like me." , is it still necessary to learn a musical instrument?

If I didn't know how to play any musical instrument, I would still be a goddess. "

At this time, Ye Ming naturally did not deny anything but said with a smile: "There is no problem. You are a goddess. Of course you are a goddess. Among the most advanced girls in the entertainment industry, you are a goddess. Tonight I want you to be a goddess." , okay, you can become Guanyin, and you will be my Guanyin?"

Not only was Ye Ming having a heated discussion about the direction of his film, but the jury headed by Robinson also had a heated discussion about a film like Ye Ming's.

Obviously at this time, although Robinson himself did not express his position, his agreement to start a discussion on this issue has fully demonstrated his own tendency, so everyone is very aware of this. Clearly, if Robinson and other judges are not optimistic about Ye Ming's film Black Mine, then at this time you will not even have a chance to discuss this film with the judges of the organizing committee.

Of course, everyone first discussed the artistic issue of this movie. In fact, many people seemed to have relatively different opinions on this point. They all agreed that this movie is indeed a very big breakthrough in terms of artistry. Although it The production is relatively rough.

However, considering the torture of human nature they reflected relative to the events they reflected, this is forgivable.

After all, how difficult the conditions are for filming in underground mines. As a movie, they are more or less aware of it in their hearts. Even if they have never been in a mine, I believe that most of them are filming indoors or in caves. The judges all have experience.

So, judging from the artistic image at this time, this is not "Black Mine". In fact, everyone agrees with it. Otherwise, it is impossible for the main characters of this film to be invited to participate in the Berlin Film Festival.

So at this time, the next thing I mean is whether this movie can win awards, how many awards it can win, and what kind of awards should be given to such a movie. Don’t think that film festivals, especially international film festivals, are so fair and just. In fact, in a relatively fair and just environment, there are still some tendencies.

For example, what David said about public relations, if your public relations is good, if your publicity is in place, and your movie does have merits, it will not be able to find too many flaws in terms of artistry. , then at this time you will more or less win awards, it just depends on how many awards or what kind of awards you win.

So, on such an issue, the current tendency of everyone's discussion is whether to give a small consolation technical award, or to provide focused support. This is the issue everyone is discussing.

Because no film from China has entered the Berlin Film Festival for five years. At this time, everyone feels that no matter what, we cannot let a film like Black Mine go away empty-handed, otherwise it will not be good for the Chinese market. A bad sign.

This is not conducive to the Berlin Film Festival showing its influence. Therefore, when it comes to winning awards, you must give more or less awards. Even if it is a consolation technical award, you must give an award. But, is it important? support, this needs to be discussed by everyone.

And regarding such an issue, the discussion is not all smooth sailing. Some more conservative judges believe that if a movie like "Black Mine" is supported at this time, it may be said to be a good example. When I came out of the Berlin Film Festival, I was opposed to my side.

You must know that I am now the world's number one film export market, so it is not a good sign to compete with Hollywood at this time.

However, at this time, there are also people who are relatively supportive of a movie like "Black Mine", because the reason is also very simple. One is that there is not much to criticize in the artistic quality of this movie, and there is also That is to say, the subject matter of this movie, the issue of moral decay of human nature reflected in this movie, is also a relatively rare subject in the film industry.

At this time, at the end, Robinson thought for a while and said: "Actually, everyone's opinions are very important, but one thing everyone needs to understand is that it is not a question of whether we can offend Hollywood, but whether Hollywood will give us food." Do you know about food issues?

Whether it is European movies, Asian movies, weekly movies, or movies from any continent in the world, they are basically under the suppression of the United States. Needless to say, they are the aftermath of Hollywood. Garden, if any country in the world can fight against Hollywood alone, at least so far, the possibility is not very high. So, we in Europe are actually suppressed by Hollywood. We have to see this clearly, especially with Asian movies. It is with Huaxia Film, so they should be on the same front on this issue.

Especially now that Hollywood movies can easily take away hundreds of millions or even billions or even billions of dollars around the world. With such an income, in such a situation, Next, we must pay attention to the market in China.

Because China's economy has developed, China's economic aggregate now ranks second in the world. This is a huge vote bank. Whether we are willing to admit it or not, China is no longer the China it used to be. Although as far as the film market is concerned, China does not have such a right to challenge Hollywood.

However, you must know that there are almost two companies in the world that have the opportunity to challenge the power of Hollywood, one is our European market, and the other is the Chinese market. So regarding this issue, we should be able to hug together for warmth. Even if we hug together for warmth once in a while, we must let us know later that the world's film market is not decided by them, and it is not what they say. What to do, we must show our voices.

So under such a situation, it is very important for us to support Chinese films. No Chinese film has won an award here in five years. This has more or less reduced the influence of the Berlin Film Festival in China. Yes, this is not what we want to see.

So I personally think that we should take a little more care of it to make it a good movie. We should choose to focus on supporting "Black Mine". In any case, this is also to send our voice to the world film market, and then people in Hollywood will also know , although their film industry is the most developed, our European films and Chinese films are not vegetarian.

I am betting on China's future ticket position. Are you willing to give up on such a market? "
