"Jiaojiao, Xinxin, what movie are you planning to shoot?"

"Of course it's an art film! Commercial films are too low-key and not suitable for us at all."

"That's it. Yuanzi, just use the script I wrote. Don't worry, if there's anything inappropriate, I can go to the school professor to revise it."

As soon as he heard this, Li Yuan became even more uneasy. Alas! The literary youth of this era are killing people!

"What about the popular stars?"

"Of course it's Hua Zai. He will always give you this face, right? We won't pay less."

"Wait a minute." Li Yuan felt a little confused, "The protagonist of that film is a rural girl, right? You use Hua Zi?"

Ying Xin quickly explained: "Is that why we have to change the script?"

"..."

Li Yuan is speechless. Gu Liang, you are all talented people!

At this time, Li Yuan understood Huang Dongsheng's pain very well. It was like watching his sister jump into a pit of fire!

After thinking about it for a few seconds, I couldn't just ignore it.

Li Yuan sighed: "Oh! Let's do this! Let's analyze it from the beginning. Do you want to make an art film? The box office is not important, but it is mainly for winning awards?"

Huang Jiaojiao giggled and said, "Haha, it's pretty good to be nominated."

Ying Xin also giggled: "We haven't thought about winning any film awards. The quality is definitely not good enough. As long as it can be shown in cinemas, we will be very happy. Hehehehe."

Li Yuan was immediately angry. Thank God, you also know that your level is not good enough?

"Okay! Then let's set our goal lower and participate in the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Ah? Cannes? Are you lowering your goals?" Huang Jiaojiao was shocked.

Ying Xin on the side was a little confused: "What is the Cannes Film Festival? Can't it be the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers?"

Holy shit! Li Yuan was so angry that he was about to burst into tears. Is he such an outsider? He doesn’t even know about the Cannes Film Festival? He dares to make a movie? Or is it some crappy art film?

"Xinxin, do you know Lao Mouzi's "Red Sorghum"? It won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. There are three major film festivals in Europe - Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. Among them, the Cannes Film Festival has the highest status."

Ying Xin's eyes lit up: "Is that so? That's great!"

Huang Jiaojiao on the side interrupted quickly: "Xinxin, don't listen to his bragging. Why is it so easy to get into the Cannes Film Festival? Xiao Yuanzi, other times he would brag and be too lazy to pay attention to you. Now you are not allowed to joke."

"Why are you joking?" Li Yuan laughed.

Due to his experiences in his previous life and having met many people in the film and television industry, Li Yuan still knows some inside information.

"Jiaojiao, Xinxin, and Brother Dongsheng, you may have a misunderstanding, thinking that it is extremely difficult to participate in an international film festival. This is only half right. International film festivals like the Cannes Film Festival select almost the same films each time.

There are more than 1,500..."

"So many?" Ying Xin was surprised.

"Yes! In fact, there are generally several ways to select movies for delivery: one is the recommendation of major studios, such as the seven major Hollywood studios, several major domestic film studios, including those from other countries; the other is the recommendation of various film studios.

Recommended by film selectors from countries and regions. They are usually direct relatives of major film festivals. In our country, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, it should be Director Yang Dechang Yang, right? If you know him, there will be convenience. However, these two methods are very difficult.

Gao, after all, major studios and film selectors will cherish their feathers and will not recommend people casually. In other words, there are only new works by famous directors, and newcomers basically have no chance."

"What should we do?" Huang Jiaojiao asked quickly.

"There are several other ways." Li Yuan smiled: "The Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee has an agency. As long as you send the film there, they will act as agent for the whole process; in the end, you have to send it to the organizing committee in person. As long as it meets the most basic requirements

The organizing committee will also accept your request."

Huang Dongsheng immediately asked: "Yuanzi, according to your opinion, isn't it just money?"

Li Yuan laughed: "It just costs money. For example, agencies, they can not only act as agents for film selection and delivery, but can even act as agents for film festival advertising, agency business operations, and even one-stop services for receptions. Including renting famous models from the island and inviting local celebrities.

, those European politicians and aristocrats, as long as you spend money!"

"Ah?" After listening to Li Yuan's introduction, the other three people felt a little bit shattered in their faith. Huang Jiaojiao had an expression of disbelief, "Xiao Yuanzi, don't lie to me, is it so easy?"

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Don't think it's easy. A trip to Cannes costs hundreds of thousands. If you take the entire crew, walk the red carpet, and do publicity, one million will disappear. If you continue

Bring your own makeup artist, image artist, camera crew, etc., and hold a cocktail party. How much will it cost? Even the cheapest one costs hundreds of thousands for a round trip, plus the tens of thousands for agency fees.
