Chapter 1079: "The Dragon": As latecomers, what advantages do you have?
After the movie ended, the theater briefly became noisy and bustling.
Fortunately, the temporary host of the screening came on stage in time to speak and stop the discussion on site.
The rest of the cast and crew of "Long" also composed themselves and took to the stage one after another, following the host's introduction.
The scene finally returned to quiet.
Standing on the stage, with the surrounding lights on, Xiao He could clearly see a vacuum area in the corner of the last row of the audience.
The person sitting there was none other than Wilnion Mecariler.
This surprised Xiao He somewhat.
Wow, I didn't expect this young master to actually sit here obediently and watch their entire work from beginning to end.
Xiao He originally thought this person was just there to cause trouble.
In retrospect, this person still had a strong sense of "adding to the trouble," persisting in his post until the very last moment.
As if noticing Xiao He's gaze, Wilnion swirled his wine glass and raised it towards him.
Xiao He:...Damn, where did this cargo come from?
I've seen people eat popcorn while watching movies, and I've seen people drink cola, but now someone's drinking red wine.
What a worthless piece of trash, what are you pretending for?
The thought of those guys' scheming and arrangements made him want to roll his eyes.
But since they're already on stage, he can't be so obvious.
So Xiao He could only nod indifferently at the other party from a distance, and then turn his attention back to the reporter in front of him.
Their screening event was essentially a de facto premiere, but since few of the audience members were there purely for entertainment and relaxation, it lacked entertainment value. The "Long" production team didn't hold any celebrity meet-and-greets or fan speeches; instead, they went straight to the point and began discussing commercialization.
The questions asked by those present were all business-related, concerning the production team's inclination towards overseas promotion and their commercial advantages.
However, even from this point onward, some differences became apparent.
The publishers who were already operating in the Asian region were undoubtedly the most eager and enthusiastic, especially the executives who were operating in South Korea. They almost came to blows while talking, vying to be the first to sign the distribution rights for "Long".
After all, when it comes to ghost and monster culture, these countries belong to the same subculture and share some traditional cultural foundations. Although they have their own development and characteristics in ghost and monster stories, they have commonalities in this regard and even a certain sense of cultural identity, making it a relatively low-threshold entry point.
It shouldn't be a big problem to bring "Long" to their respective countries.
In addition, the quality of "Long" itself is very high, far surpassing some of their domestic ghost films, and with Xiao He's reputation to back it up, the promotion of this movie should be secure, and the box office will not be bad.
Therefore, these people have the most positive attitude.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the island nation publishers sitting next to them are all sweating profusely, looking around at the people rushing to join in with a dilemma, while secretly making phone calls and sending text messages, wondering whether they should join this battle.
The contents of "Long"... although it doesn't explicitly name who built the research institute or who planned those conspiracies, they're not stupid. The flashing symbols and text of their own country are blatant smuggling in their own agenda, a blatant attempt to smuggle in their own agenda.
Of course, this group of people naturally has two opposing attitudes.
One type is those who are furious, feeling that their country has been insulted by these Chinese people, but they dare not vent their anger at this time, let alone jump out to point out and question the meaning of the "Long" production team, whether it is what they think it means... So these people, despite their unpleasant expressions, reluctantly sit here and watch others fight for the copyright.
Another type is indifferent to that part; they care more about whether the work can be brought back to China, how the domestic market will react after certain parts are cut, and whether the work can help them achieve greater box office success.
In contrast to these people, the publishers in Europe and America reacted rather calmly, remaining seated and exchanging information with each other, showing a rather wait-and-see attitude.
To put it bluntly, I definitely want to buy it.
There haven't been any supernatural ghost movies with this kind of pure metaphysical flavor on the global market for a long time.
The others were either zombies or ghosts, but now a brand new Eastern metaphysical ghost system has suddenly appeared, which has also made some people see other possibilities.
In addition, China has risen in recent years and has begun to export some games and films to the world, which have received extremely positive feedback overseas. In recent years, many young people have also begun to learn about Chinese culture.
If they can adapt to the changes of this era, they might be able to open up such markets ahead of time.
However, each of them has their own concerns.
That's quite normal, though. At least when Xiao He and the rest of the crew were on stage, everyone was very respectful.
The subsequent activities also went very smoothly.
-
Unfortunately, some people are just here to cause trouble.
Just when the atmosphere at the scene seemed to be harmonious, someone raised their hand.
Although many people raised their hands to ask questions, it is undeniable that the vacuum space provided Wilnion with excellent conditions, so much so that the moment he raised his hand, he became particularly conspicuous in the audience.
Almost everyone on the stage saw him immediately, and then other people nearby also saw Willyon's movements.
When Xiao He saw that this conspicuous bag had something to say, he felt a sense of relief, as if the guy had finally gotten around to it, and he wasn't surprised at all.
The host was also from China and was specially invited by Zhuang Hongyi for this trip. He had high emotional intelligence and keen observation skills. When he noticed that the person in the seat seemed to have a subtle malice towards them, he did not immediately call the other person up. Instead, he immediately looked at Director Zhuang next to him and waited for instructions from Director Zhuang.
Zhuang Hongyi naturally also saw this young master.
Without even thinking, you can tell what kind of questions this person wants to ask.
It's nothing more than making things difficult for them.
However, it seems unlikely that we can simply ignore it.
Oh dear, what a mess this is!
Zhuang Hongyi sighed helplessly in his heart, but smiled and raised his hand towards the people over there.
"Sir over there, do you have any questions?"
However, Xiao He acted even faster than Director Zhuang.
Just as Zhuang Hongyi raised his hand to ask a question, Xiao He had already raised the microphone to ask his own question.
As Xiao He spoke, everyone turned their heads to look at the person in that corner.
When the questioner was clearly identified, the previously noisy atmosphere quieted down.
Wilnion smiled and raised his hand, waving it open.
Someone immediately handed him a microphone.
Throughout the entire process, everyone waited patiently without saying a word.
Finally, Wilnion raised his microphone and asked the people on the stage in front of him:
"As far as I know, only 'Mother Insect' has touched on this subject matter in previous international award-winning works, and it is also one of the classic representative works of South Korea. So, as a latecomer, are you confident in capturing this market, and do you have the corresponding advantages? After all, this work cannot be broadcast in your own country. Without official recognition, is it a violation of regulations for you to participate in the Cannes event?"
These words caused an uproar at the scene.
Zhuang Hongyi's face immediately darkened.
