Chapter 100 Boss, do you want a movie?
The Tamdo Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Nanyang region and brings together filmmakers from all countries in the Pacific Rim region.
Of course, the most important one is the film and television people of the Celestial Empire.
It is better to say it is a film festival and a film festival and a film and television work trading conference.
Several major domestic production companies and TV stations are here to promote their own movies and TV series to the entire Pacific Rim.
This is almost a one-sided market, sold by domestic companies and others come to buy it.
The country of Huantai also wants to sell its film and television works to China, but domestic audiences are not interested in them at all.
Many people in China simply mock the indigenous people in Southeast Asia as "monkeys", and their movies rarely enter the domestic market.
The only exception is Siamese Kung Fu movies. Their Kung Fu movies are fierce and fierce, and they may not be good at fighting, but they are very violent and enjoyable. They will have broken limbs and bleeding at any time. Many people in China like it.
The invitation letter from Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu was obtained by Pacific TV and the booth they assigned was also next to the booth of Pacific TV.
However, compared with the Pacific Ocean, which covers an area of more than 200 square meters and gathers a group of well-known film and television stars, Panda Media's exhibition area of only four square meters is a bit pitiful.
The authorities in the Tamura Island attach great importance to the film festival and have always wanted to make it a national business card.
The opening ceremony in the afternoon was attended and hosted by the Ministers of Culture and Tourism of Akashima.
Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu also took a seat in the corner of the venue. The front row were people from large domestic production companies and large TV stations, including the leading actors and actresses from various companies, all of whom came to support them.
In the middle are state-owned and private television station personnel from other countries.
There are many small companies like Xiong Dawei who can only sit at the end, with flowers in the front row, and they make green leaves that set off the scene.
The film festival officially began after a tedious speech and ceremony.
Xiong Dawei hung a company logo on his booth, and there were two TV sets and video recorders on the table, playing the editing of "Beach Ambulance" and "Dragon Cat".
The two of them sat on two folding benches, staring at each other with big eyes.
Compared with the lively and bustling exhibition area of the Pacific TV station next door, the booths of the two were deserted as if they were forgotten.
Until the afternoon closing time, there were people coming and going in front of the booth of the two of them. They looked curiously at the head, and more people passed by in a hurry, without even a single person asking questions.
It is not surprising that the main participants on the first day were media people, and half of them were domestic entertainment media reporters.
What they care about is the big productions of well-known big factories, or the new works of big directors and big stars, and they are busy chasing famous directors and stars.
Television purchasing personnel from other countries also focus on several major TV stations.
The first thing they want to buy is the hit dramas from several major TV stations last year. These dramas have ratings guaranteed, and they can be taken back and played directly without worrying about losing money.
TV series from small companies like Xiong Dawei are mostly low-cost movies or TV series, and they are inevitably roughly produced. Although they are very cheap, they will take considerable risks when they buy them back.
In the evening, the two of them had a simple meal in the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel, and then went to the bar next door to prepare for a few drinks before going back to bed.
In fact, there will be a reception party hosted by the Hamashima Cultural Department and the Film Bureau in the evening, and you can also go in with an invitation letter.
However, Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu were not interested.
That was a party for the big guys. The protagonists were major production companies, and it was useless if they both went there.
Xiong Dawei just turned his head and took a look when he passed by. It was extremely luxurious inside, with VIP guests in the hall.
Xiong Dawei didn't feel very disappointed.
After all, this film festival will last for ten days, and they still have a chance, and he also believes in the quality of "Beach Ambulance".
Xiong Dawei has watched all the films taken by Wei Liangfu from beginning to end.
It is not much different from the TV series he remembers. If there is one, the actors are more beautiful, the lenses are brighter and the pictures are more refined.
Since the previous one can become popular all over the world, this one is unreasonable and cannot be sold in the Pacific region.
There was a burst of noisy laughter from the booth next door, and the young woman's sharp smile was interspersed in the middle.
Xiong Dawei turned his head and looked at it. It was a group of people from home who were celebrating.
In the middle of the semi-circular sofa is a middle-aged man in his fifties, hugging two young women on the left and right, which is so happy.
Xiong Dawei also knows him, a very famous director.
Several young men in suits and ties were gathered around him to compliment him.
Domestic people travel to Tam Island, especially men, are nothing more than eating, drinking, waving and gambling.
They play more easily than in China, and each of them is surrounded by one or two local girls.
The place of Hamdao is quite similar to Las Vegas in his previous life.
From their words, we can tell that the director sold the TV series at a high price on the first day.
Wei Liangfu also glanced at them and said, "Stop looking, Lianguang people."
"You know?"
Wei Liangfu nodded and smiled, "But they don't know me."
When he was in Lianguang, he said he was the director's assistant, but in fact he was doing odd jobs with the director, carrying his bag and opening the door, serving tea and water. A director usually had six or seven assistants, and no one would look at him more.
Xiong Dawei tsk and thought to himself: I thought it was a enemy who was narrow and could do something that could pretend to be slap in the face. It seemed that he was thinking too much.
So~!
Who knows them here?
Two famous directors and actors.
It's not really that no one paid attention to them.
While the two were chatting, several young and beautiful women deliberately passed by them in a swaying figure.
But no matter how beautiful the cat is, it is also a result for the blind man to see.
Wei Liangfu didn't pay attention to them at all. Xiong Dawei took a curious look at them at most and quickly looked away.
But let alone, local girls in Akashima have good figures.
The girls who come to the bar on this five-star hotel are dressed very fashionable and cool, and their eyes are even bolder.
Seeing that Xiong Dawei was not taking the bait, some of them simply came over to chat with him.
The two young women walked over with gentle steps and said with a smile: "Two handsome guys, do you want to have a drink together?"
Wei Liangfu smiled so badly that he looked at Xiong Dawei and squinted. He knew that these two women were coming for Xiong Dawei.
He has big arms and a round waist. He suddenly looks similar to a gangster. Xiong Dawei is young and handsome, with a good temperament, and is the kind that is very popular among girls.
Xiong Dawei flattened his mouth and shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary."
The two women still did not give up and chuckled, "There are only you two men, you don't feel bored. You are also here to attend the film festival, right? So are we."
No wonder there are so many young and beautiful girls in the bar, probably for the film festival. Maybe they are lucky enough to catch a director or producer and take a shortcut.
Xiong Dawei smiled and said, "If it weren't for lying to women, men would rather play with men."
Then waved at them.
Wei Liangfu laughed and teased, "Good words."
The two women snorted dissatisfiedly, turned their heads and left, and no one came to disturb them again.
Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu kept discussing how much their TV series would need to be sold to make a profit. By eleven o'clock, a large group of people flocked to the bar. It seemed that the cocktail party there was over.
The bar became even more noisy, and the two of them drank almost the same, so they returned to the room upstairs.
Xiong Dawei also called Xu Yingluo. She and Hui Lanxin were together and told her what she had happened today.
"I just refused, don't praise me." Xiong Dawei begged for praise with a shy face.
Xu Yingluo kissed him through the phone, and then smiled and said, "Lan Xin just told me that if you dare to mess around, she will use a pair of scissors to hit you."
After saying that, she burst into laughter.
There was Hui Lanxin's voice next to her: "Tell him to be honest with us."
Xu Yingluo smiled and said, "You heard it, be honest with us, and you will be rewarded when you come back."
Early the next morning, Xiong Dawei and Wei Liangfu came to the exhibition hall again and arranged things to wait for customers.
There is a movie screening today, but neither of them is intent on going there, and the exhibition hall is much deserted. The reporters are all going to chase the new films of major directors.
There are people coming in and out of the exhibition area next to the Pacific Ocean to discuss the purchase of TV series.
This time, those who pass by the Panda Media exhibition area will stop and take a look, but look at their shabby booth and company names that they have never heard of before, and soon left again.
There are more than 120 companies in the film festival, and it takes two days to transfer them all, so those who are willing to buy movies are not busy taking action.
As noon approached, a young man wearing a white shirt and a round-brimmed hat stood in front of the booth of the two, holding his hands in his pockets, and watching them focused for a long time.
His skin was brown and dark, with a Native American look, and he opened his mouth, "Hey, buddy, do you have any makeup?"
A true Mandarin language, with a straight and melody.
This is the first person to be interested in their work.
He took out two business cards and gave them to the two people, both on the front and the reverse, one was his own language and the other was Chinese.
Sulai, deputy director of the production department of an indigenous national television station in Central America.
Xiong Dawei thought to himself: Maybe he is a second generation, otherwise he would not be able to be the deputy supervisor at his age.
He smiled and said, "Your movies are quite special."
I also walked around the exhibition for a long time, most of them were like in previous years, either martial arts, history, urban and professional dramas.
He has been studying in the country for seven years and has been tired of watching martial arts dramas.
At the Panda Media stall, I found something new that made his eyes shine.
Chapter completed!
