Don't mention happiness overnight.

The next day, I went to visit the organizer of the Berlin Film Festival in summer.

Hong Kong films do not account for a large proportion of European film market and are not well-known. Therefore, Hong Kong filmmakers do not have much influence at the Berlin Film Festival, so they wanted to visit the organizers of the film festival in summer to be turned away.

Fortunately, he has another identity as the chief art officer of Columbia Pictures, which deserves the attention of the organizers.

Although the Berlin Film Festival has always been the leader in politics, it actually does not completely ignore the market. After all, so many production companies come to participate in the competition, not just to win awards, but also to be able to sell their own movies smoothly.

In addition to being the world's largest producer, Columbia Pictures is also one of the world's largest film publishers, with a global film distribution network. Especially in North America, South America, Australia and other places, it is a "big ticket warehouse" exclusively in Hollywood. In comparison, European film companies' distribution capabilities are slightly less than that.

Therefore, they welcome senior executives of film companies like Summer, hoping that they can buy more movies to go back. In this way, the transaction volume of the film festival will increase, and more film companies will come to participate next year.

Xia Tian agreed to their request, but he was not very interested in buying the movie.

He did not want to see Western films invade Hong Kong, so he did not hesitate to establish an alliance to monopolize theaters, which was to cut off the access to foreign movies and prevent them from having the opportunity to take a penny of box office from Hong Kong;

Second, European films have been in decline for decades because they are too artistic and neglect commercial. Therefore, the films produced are usually not popular. Except for being released in special art theaters, there are few people in other places.

Therefore, summer will not be thankless and help release any art films. Of course, if it is a movie that can win awards, it will naturally be different.

...

After a cordial meeting with the organizer, Xia Tian then came to the screening venue for Tianxia Pictures to rent.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the film festival is not much different from the farmers' market. The farmers' market is a store where merchants rent stalls to set up stalls to sell goods, while the film festival is a store where producers rent screening venues to sell movies. The two are of the same nature.

The award ceremony for the film festival is actually the same as the farmers' market for the melon kings and the vegetable king competition, but the competition rules are different.

Since Tianxia Pictures decided to participate in the exhibition in the summer, it has contacted the organizer, paid the registration fee and the venue fee. Now this venue is arranged by the organizer for them.

In the next fifteen days, the movies of Tianxia Pictures will be screened here. If any audience is interested, you can buy tickets to watch them. If any film provider is interested, you can also discuss the purchase of films.

Of course, the venue rental fee for these fifteen days is not cheap, it costs 8,000 US dollars a day. If you include the registration fee, travel expenses, etc., it will cost at least 200,000 US dollars. If the movie cannot be sold, it will not only not make money, but may also lose money. Therefore, although the film festival is lively and a good place to promote movies, not every film company is willing to come.

Xia Tian carefully checked the venue. To be honest, the venue can only be considered ordinary. Because the location is a bit off. At that time, the audience will be able to come here.

"Weihong, say hello to the media and let them report more." Xia Tian ordered Liu Weihong.

This time, Tianxia Pictures came to participate in the exhibition with great fanfare, which made the whole city know. If even a movie could not be sold, it would have become a big joke and he could not afford to lose that person.

"Okay, boss." Liu Weihong nodded.

...

I was busy and returned to the hotel in the evening.

As soon as he entered the room, Xia Tian was stunned. He saw Guan Zhilin and Lizhi, the enemy, sitting in the hall watching TV together, and there were also talking and laughing, which made him so shocked that he widened his eyes and thought he had seen it wrong.

"When did the relationship between them become so good?" Xia Tian couldn't help but wonder.

At this moment, Guan Zhilin and Li Zhi met Xia Tian back and came forward, "Hani, you're back."

"Ah, I'm back, I'm back." Xia Tian nodded and said perfunctorily, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"We are watching TV. It turns out that we can see ATV in Berlin." Guan Zhilin said with a smile.

"What, really?!" Xia Tian said in surprise. He didn't expect that he could receive the signal from ATV here.

"It's not ATV, it's the BRAVO channel of American Rainbow Media." Li Zhi waved his hand and clarified, "Brother Tian, ​​this company seems to be yours."

Xia Tian nodded and walked to the TV in surprise. Sure enough, he saw the Hong Kong drama "Criminal Investigation Archives" being broadcast on TV. This drama is starring Zeng Weiquan, Yin Tianzhao, Yu An'an, Wu Mengda and others. The ratings were very popular when broadcast in Hong Kong, which also made ATV actors Zeng Weiquan and Yin Tianzhao the best partners and tasted the popularity.

The one who broadcasts this TV series is the BRAVO channel under Rainbow Media. It used to broadcast some American dramas. After taking over in the summer, it also gave it the Hong Kong dramas that made Asian TV filmed.

Now it plays four episodes of Hong Kong dramas every day, and the dubbing is still in Cantonese, but it is accompanied by English subtitles. When viewers watch these dramas, they feel like mainland netizens in their previous lives watching American dramas.

In order to avoid American audiences being disliked, the broadcast time is set to be played in the morning and replayed in the middle of the night. These two periods are the time when the fewest people watch TV.

Most people who can persist in watching TV during this period are TV bugs who are good at it, and they can watch even the boring TV programs with relish.

In the American TV series "Friends", Joey and Chand are two TV bugs. They have been watching TV in a lazy chair for several consecutive days, and even watched TV shopping advertisements with relish. They also ordered takeaway food, so in order to avoid watching TV less, they didn't even want to go to the toilet.

In summer, I saw BRAVO channel in Berlin hotels, which was great. Before, the BRAVO channel was not even covered by the entire United States, but in just a few months, it had landed in Berlin, which was really too fast.

"In a short time, I guess you will be able to see the BRAVO channel around the world." Xia Tian couldn't help but say happily.

"Hani, your TV station is so great. You can be seen in Berlin. It's so amazing!" Guan Zhilin praised.

"Yes, Brother Tian, ​​you are so awesome!" Li Zhi also complimented.

"Well, thank you for your praise." Xia Tian smiled proudly.

"Who will accompany you tonight?" Guan Zhilin took the opportunity to ask again when she saw that he was in a good mood.

"Uh...you'd better continue to recover from your injuries. I've asked Miss Gong to come to me tonight." Xia Tian was slightly stunned, then waved his hand.
Chapter completed!
