Disaster Artist

Seca Film Festival, located in Seka.

The film festival has not been established for a long time, only 30 years, which is very young compared to the three major film festivals that have been held for more than 60 years.

Since its inception, the film festival has been adjusting its policy to find its position. It has gone through many detours, but it has persevered. In the past ten years, the Seka Film Festival has finally found its own position:

On the one hand, Sekar advertised that the film should return to the audience. There was no competition unit, and all films were screened equally. At the end of the film festival, the audience voted to select the top three of the "People's Choice Award", but the official did not. Any specific trophy will be awarded.

On the other hand, Sekar positioned the distribution market for the entire awards season, provided a stage for the works to compete in the awards season, invited the media and audience to come to publicize and build momentum, and launched the first shot of the public relations battle in the awards season. The awards season is becoming more and more influential and gradually emerging.

In the past five years, the People's Choice Award at the Seka Film Festival has been nominated for the Golden Book Award for Best Film nominations and even won more and more awards, especially the important role that audience word of mouth plays in public relations. Film companies and distribution companies realize that the strategic position of the Seka Film Festival, naturally, its influence continues to rise, and more and more films are willing to go to Seka for screenings——

The Seka Film Festival has also become the first outpost of the awards season.

At present, the Seka Film Festival has become the second largest film distribution market after Weihai in the world. Countless distribution companies come here to pan for gold and buy film distribution rights, looking forward to taking advantage of the aura of the awards season to make a fortune for themselves. Open the situation.

Now, "The Tourist" is also about to land on Seka, which is a very important step, because it means that the film has entered the field of view of awards season.

Lu Qian was a little surprised.

Objectively speaking, it's not that Lu Qian has no confidence in himself, but that works with the style of "tourists" are really not the preferred theme and style of the awards season. Therefore, after the filming of the film, Lu Qian directly signed up for the Weihai Film Festival. There are no festivals that choose relative factions along the awards season route.

After all, the theme styles favored by the three major film festivals and the Golden Book Award faction film festival are obviously different, and the entire distribution strategy is also completely different.

Of course, different film festivals, because of different themes and purposes, as well as different judges and target audiences, have different preferred genres and themes. This is a matter of course. Therefore, what film companies need to consider is according to the style of their films. As well as the distribution target, select the corresponding film festival.

If it is simply classified, "unfriend" and "raid" are both types that Seka will like. Lu Qian thought about it at the beginning. If "unfriend" has not been able to open up the situation, then sign up for the Seka Film Festival to see; "Tourists "It is the type that the three major film festivals like, especially Wei Hai and Lan Xia have a better chance.

Film distribution is a science. Even if you sign up for a film festival and choose a target group, you need a strategy.

Now, the Seka Film Festival has taken the initiative to break the barriers and welcome "tourists" to the screening, which is undoubtedly a good news——

Not to mention whether "tourists" have officially entered the field of vision of the awards season, but it is certain that "tourists" can be appreciated by more audiences.

This also plays a vital role in the official release of "Tourists". Blue Whale Films' Qu Yushi needs to make slight adjustments when formulating the distribution plan, and may even need to coordinate with the schedule of the awards season to change the entire film distribution strategy.

After all, if the "tourist" can win in the awards season - even if it's not the Golden Book Award, but other awards ceremonies in the awards season, it is also very important for the just-starting Blue Whale Films. Awards and connections are one aspect, and the label Image, audience base, and word-of-mouth certification are another.

"Well, that's really good news."

Lu Qian nodded lightly, and his mood was lifted lightly because of Yu Shao's news. Valley

But Yu Shao immediately heard that Lu Qian should have heard the news of the Seka Film Festival for the first time, and his attention was immediately focused.

"Wait, so, the director called not because of the Seka Film Festival, but because of what happened to the crew in the Windy City?"

"As far as I know, the progress of Windy City is going well, is there any emergency?"

Across the phone, Lu Qian could also feel Yu Shao's seriousness, which made the smile on the corner of his mouth rise a little, nodded and gave a positive answer.

"Indeed, there is a little situation here in Windy City."

Yu Shao picked up the joking expression on his face, and his expression became serious. If it was a matter of the "Human Removal Project" crew, and Lu Qian had no way to solve it, and needed an agent to act, then the situation might be very critical, and he naturally couldn't take it lightly, In a blink of an eye, it's working.

"Dong Ruixian, specially came to Fengcheng to stand by and wait for the rabbits, and waited here for two days. Finally, I was surrounded by me, and I came directly to ask for my guilt."

Lu Qian didn't cheat, just pretended to be serious, described the matter very seriously, and revealed a hint of sternness inside and outside the words.

Yu Shao was stunned for a while, and then he realized that Lu Qian was joking, and he couldn't help laughing, his tense mood relaxed a little again.

"Director, are you serious? Dong Ruixian went directly to Fengcheng? For that adaptation project?"

"She said she hasn't waited for your message to reply, so she hopes to have a face-to-face conversation with me."

"Director, I'm sorry, I didn't handle this matter properly. I thought things should go according to the process... I'm sorry, there is no excuse. This is obviously my dereliction of duty."

Yu Shao wanted to defend himself:

According to Lanchuan's normal process~www.novelmt.com~ No matter whether the cooperation can be achieved or not, it will always take some time to consider and think about it. Shooting a film project is not a family dinner, and all communication and discussions take time. Therefore, he did not inform Lu Qian immediately.

But obviously, Dong Ruixian didn't follow the rules, so Yu Shao was very passive-because of his job as an agent, he couldn't handle it properly.

After thinking about it, Yu Shao still gave up his defense and simply admitted his mistake. Although the cooperation time with Lu Qian was only a short year, Yu Shao had gradually figured out Lu Qian's character and temper. He knew that Lu Qian was not Indiscriminately criticizing the character of others, what Lu Qian really values ​​is honesty and calmness. Good communication is the cornerstone of establishing a cooperative relationship.

There was a shallow smile in Lu Qian's chest, "Don't worry, she didn't intend to hurt me, I'm safe now, if you care."

Yu Shao was amused by Lu Qian's joke, and his knees felt weak, "Director."

Lu Qian smiled cheerfully, "I just wanted to ask, Dong Ruixian is so sincere and urgent, why didn't you tell me about it immediately."
