The first thing to tackle is naturally the awards of the International Category A Film Festival.
what? What do you want to say about this and Wang Yifan?
It's a big deal. Okay, the script of this movie was written by Wang Yifan.
Therefore, Ma Qingshan made several consecutive phone calls. Anyway, Wang Yifan must attend.
"I don't have experience with this, so let's forget it? I have been exhausted during this period of time." Wang Yifan said with a bitter expression.
"That won't work, what will happen if you don't go as a screenwriter?" Ma Qingshan insisted on taking Wang Yifan to participate.
"No, at this time, it seems that the registration time for several major film festivals is closed? Also, the time is not right. The three major European film festivals seem to be closed this year. The Venice Film Festival has already closed this year. In Cannes, it is too early. Right? In Berlin, it will be February too, right?" Wang Yifan thought about it and asked.
"Yeah, but the Tokyo International Film Festival is just right. As for the deadline for registration? That is for other people. I want to participate in my film. Wouldn't they let them?" Ma Qingshan said in a desperate manner.
This is indeed where Ma Qingshan's confidence lies.
Regardless of whether Ma Qingshan seems to be in the box office, he is not even ranked in the domestic market, but he is definitely in the literary circle.
He has won many awards at several major film festivals.
"Did you see the Eastern Film Festival too?" Wang Yifan asked in a daze in surprise.
"That's strange for you. The East Film Festival is also a more successful Category A film festival in Asia. Why don't I look down on it? But you guys are a commercial filmmaker, so how come you know a lot about this? "Ma Qingshan doesn't take it seriously.
"No, don't you want to participate all the way?" Wang Yifan suddenly had a bad feeling.
"You guessed it, let's go to the Tokyo International Film Festival first, and then we will go to Cairo to participate in the Cairo International Film Festival, then come back to celebrate the New Year, and then participate in the Berlin Film Festival in the coming year. Well, let's forget the other two." Ma Qingshanton Said after a while.
It seems that the three major international film festivals in Europe cannot be attended at the same time.
"No, I just came back from the island country, and you want to drag me over again. I'm boring, don't go!" Wang Yifan was not interested at all.
"I don't care, you have to go anyway!" Ma Qingshan actually played a rogue.
"Old Ma, let me go, but only for the Eastern Film Festival. For other things, I will not go. If you agree, we will close the deal. If you don't agree, then I won't go anywhere." Wang Yifan was also very bachelor. .
Just kidding, is the film festival interesting? Might as well create people at home with my little sister.
If he really wants to go, Wang Yifan will also choose to go when he is not involved in the movie. Then he will go to play. Otherwise, with his current status, Ma Qingshan will definitely use him as a publicity campaign. died.
"Hehe, deal!" Ma Qingshan showed a triumphant expression, and Wang Yifan knew that he had been fooled by the old horse.
Lao Ma can handle other film festivals by himself. The Tokyo Film Festival is actually quite different. Ma Qingshan has never participated before, but Wang Yifan is different. In the island country, "Midnight Ring" almost made Wang Yifan a god. All.
Especially Ma Qingshan knows that Wang Yifan is in the island country, and that is not the treatment of the director, but the treatment of the top star.
"No, I haven't watched the movie yet, let's go and see your masterpiece of Lao Ma!" Wang Yifan suddenly remembered.
"Let's go, let's go and see, you can comment on it." Ma Qingshan said while pulling Wang Yifan.
In Xingmeng’s screening room, Wang Yifan saw a lot of new faces, but he was not too young, so he thought he should be the director of Ma Qingshan’s literary film circle.
In fact, in many cases, the literary film circle and the commercial film circle are separated.
Roughly speaking, it means you can't pee in a pot.
Ma Qingshan is relatively different. He has also tried commercial films. Although his performance is not as outstanding as literary films, he is considered successful.
The difference is that Ma Qingshan's achievements are too high. When a person's achievements in a circle reach a certain level, the boundaries of the circle do not exist for him.
And those who can be invited by Ma Qingshan to watch the film must be the top people in his circle.
In fact, Wang Yifan didn't want to know them. He respected their choice, but he didn't like the intersection with them.
why?
Because these people like to be self-centered too much, most of them look down on commercial film directors like Wang Yifan, who seem to them to be only box office directors.
In addition, he was several rounds older than Wang Yifan, so there was no need to be too polite to Wang Yifan.
So, for this kind of person, if you are scolded, you have to say thank you. Wang Yifan really doesn't want to know them.
"I will introduce you to these old guys." But Ma Qingshan didn't seem to see Wang Yifan's reluctance, but said with a smile.
What can Wang Yifan do?
"This is Meng Jian, Lao Meng, the vice chairman of the Artist Film Association. Lao Meng, Wang Yifan doesn't need me to introduce you more?" Ma Qingshan introduced with a smile.
Meng Jian, a veteran director in China, the Artist Film Association, as the name suggests, is completely separated from another domestic film association. This association can be regarded as a filmmaker who pursues "art". organization.
Wang Yifan has heard that it is said that the Artist Film Association has repeatedly interviewed major theaters, hoping that they can set up an art theater specifically to support and show literary and artistic movies.
Moreover, they really did it. The main reason is that the upper party also has this willingness. Therefore, under the combination, all major theaters, including Huaxin, have also allocated some theaters to join this art cinema line.
However, that sentence is of no use.
There are theaters, and the support is also supported, but there is no way. After all, literary and artistic movies are niche. In fact, China has not cultivated enough audiences who like this type of movie.
Therefore, the result is naturally not very beautiful.
"Hello, Mr. Meng!" However, although he couldn't urinate a pot, Wang Yifan could still do it.
"I know you. I didn't expect that such an in-depth story of "Alive" was actually yours. However, since you can write such an in-depth story, why do you keep making those commercial movies? Why not try Make some more in-depth movies?" Meng Jian said in an incomprehensible way.
"Probably not young? Or after many experiences, I will try to make some more in-depth movies." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with Wang Yifan's answer, Meng Jian didn't say much.
