Chapter 779: No, no

In addition to competition, the Berlin Film Festival has a huge derivative value: the trading market.
In 1989, the European Film Market, referred to as EFM, landed in Berlin. After 10 years of development, it has gradually become the world's three major film markets with the same reputation as the American film market and the Cannes film market.
This is also a place that all the film industry seniors must visit, like Yasuda of Polly Carol, Seo Young-soo of Finecut...
Both Japan and South Korea have specialized film companies for external distribution, and they are extremely eager to let local films go out, especially into the US market. Because of the political father-child relationship, cultural "counter-offensive" is regarded as an honor.
For a long time in China, only China Film has the qualifications. To be honest, it has basically no external distribution capabilities. Later, the policy was liberalized and private capital was allowed to participate.
Or is it because the domestic market has enough food to go out for Mao?
...
The EFM was on the second day of the party.
Similar to an exhibition, each company has a booth to promote its own works. Both buyers and sellers trade with each other.
The booth of World Film and Television was unveiled today, and Xu Fei brought people over early in the morning. Just a few steps, I was called to a halt, with a pickle-like English: "Mr. Xu?"
"Oh, representative Xu!"
He went to shake hands, but it was Seo Young-soo who met last night.
"This is your company's booth?"
"Exactly, I brought the best of Korea throughout the year. Are you interested in seeing it?"
Seo Young-soo knew that the mainland's policy was conservative, but there was no grass and a rake, and immediately introduced enthusiastically: "The Gas Station Attacked Incident," a Korean national-level comedy movie!
"Organ in Memory", starring Lee Byung Heon and Jeon Do Yeon, the best actors in Korea! "
""Love in the Wind", a romance film, starring Jang Dong Gun, the most handsome superstar in Korea!"
"..."
He didn't have a spit, but Xu Fei just wanted to wipe his face because it was too exaggerated!
Fortunately speaking English, otherwise I can still experience the high-pitched tone and kakaka feeling in Korean movies.
There are TV sets in the booth with flowers. Xu Fei looked casually, and they all knew Zhang Dongjian, Li Bingxian, and Jeon Doyan.
How about a Korean Entertainment 2000?
Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Han Chae-young, Han Jia-ren, and Son Ye-jin are all in their youth, and girls’ generation are still elementary school students...
"They are all good works, I wish you well."
He stayed for a while and turned to his booth.
In contrast, the Taifo Department. No one yelled, unpretentious, just a movie with a looped film, "Fifty First Love".
The propaganda officer complained: "Boss, can business be done like this?"
"I don't know, let it happen."
"Then you paid the rent for nothing?"
"Increase experience."
I believe in you grandson!
The propaganda officer didn't bother to ask any more, sitting in the shabby booth, he felt that everyone was lowered everywhere.
The so-called global distribution network refers to a good relationship with local film producers. Even the Big Eight in Hollywood will not be able to spread the distribution companies all over the world, and they will definitely cooperate with the locals.
These local companies have external issuing functions and are also the main body of the trading market.
During the period, many people came to ask, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, and even Egyptian filmmakers. But after learning the details, he felt that there was no box office, and shook his head and walked away.
Near noon, Seo Young-soo came over.
"Representative Xu is finished?"
"It's okay for the time being, take the liberty to visit..."
Seo Young-soo looked at the booth, secretly despising, and still very polite: "Oh, it looks like a romantic comedy, can I understand it?"
"of course."
Xu Fei let someone explain, and as he said, Lao Song and Yasuda also came.
"Hi, it's all here!"
"Yes, let's take a look at Mr. Xu's work."
"Fifty First Loves? This is a good film. If it weren't for the release of the disc in Hong Kong, I would like to buy the copyright remake."
Lao Song looked pimped and asked, "Would you like to see?"
"Okay." Yasuda said.
Sunshine has worked with the world, knowing that they have a good relationship, it's okay to pimp. Yasuda was polite, but when I looked at the content, Sri Kuniichi!
No need to introduce it, but the remake is fine!
"..."
Yasuda and Seo Young-soo have a foresight, this kind of film is most suitable for local transplantation, and it is a good low-cost comedy film that can be predicted at the box office.
They were about to talk in depth, and another voice came into their ears.
"Damn it, why should I accompany you to see the oriental filmmaker? There is no good work in the market this year. I should be sitting on the plane back to the United States now!"
"It's your first time to participate. Get used to it. You don't have gold everywhere. But I promise, this is definitely a good project."
In the clamor, two foreigners walked up to him.
One of them picked up the booklet and flipped through it, then looked at the flowers, and said with a curled mouth: "I admit that I'm a little clever, but it's not worth pulling me over."
"I'm not talking about this, you shut up first!"
The other person turned his head and said with a smile: "You ran here and made me look for it. Mr. Song, Mr. Xu, meet again!"
"Hello!"
The two were very excited, "I hope you will bring good news."
"Let me introduce, this is Hardy from Cactus Company. They have gained fame in Hollywood in recent years, focusing on low-cost independent films, and they are very capable."
"Mr. Hardy, meet for the first time!"
Humph!
Hardy stretched his beard, raised his chin slightly, and barely shook hands, which was arrogant, arrogant, arrogant.
"I think we have to find a quiet place to have a good chat."
"of course!"
Xu Fei apologized to the Japan-Korea duo, "I'm sorry, but I am not accompanied."
"..."
The duo looked at each other, and then thought of a certain possibility.
No way? No way?
…………
That night.
Seo Young-soo is listening to the report.
"One is called Allen, the American Locomotive Distribution Company; the other is Hardy, who is indeed a high-level Cactus Company.
Cactus is the hottest independent production company in Hollywood in the past two years. It has two signatures of "American Pie" and "Chain Saw". It also cooperated with another independent production company, Lionsgate, in the "Human Removal Project."
Although there are not many works, the box office is surprisingly good. The total box office of the four films is 300 million US dollars, and the cost is said to be only more than 20 million. "
"Twenty million? 300 million?"
"Yes, last year's "American Pie 2" exceeded 100 million. This year, the third part will be launched, as well as "Chain Saw 2", "Human Removal Project 2" which will continue to cooperate with Lionsgate.
Locomotive has a good relationship with Cactus. It is a medium-sized distribution company. I heard that it is expanding its network and preparing to develop into the international market. "
Gan!
Seo Young-soo patted the table, envious and jealous.
What does it mean for Hollywood filmmakers to participate? Means it may be released in the North American market!
The Republic of Korea will never be left behind!
"They must have a heavyweight script in their hands that makes the other person so important!"
Xu Yingzhu gave a judgment and said: "You contact...oh no, you go and book a place for me, I will invite Mr. Song immediately."
