Chapter 56: What kind of daydream are you having? (Seeking collection and follows)

The second time coming to the Cinema City company station, it was obvious that Mai Jia and the others valued it much more.

Except for Zeng Zhiwei who had already left, the other six all came.

Seeing Wu Feng enter the door, one by one stood up, so enthusiastic.

"Wusheng, wish you a happy New Year in advance, auspicious, rich and noble!"

Big bald head Mai Jia took the initiative to step forward and shake hands, his face full of sincerity, and could not see any performance components.

Sure enough, facing the temptation of money, the attitude of this group of guys in Cinema City was quite good.

Anyone with a brain knows that if a film wins an award at a US film festival, it can definitely sell for a good price.

Even Boss Lei stood up from his chair, but he didn't take the initiative to come over.

Wu Feng greeted the members of the Cinema City Struggle Group one by one, and then smiled at Boss Lei: "Lei Sheng is energetic; it seems that he is in a very good mood recently!"

"Haha, it's okay!"

Boss Lei's face was full of red light; at this time, Cinema City was still in the afterglow of its final glory.

The films produced by the company were as popular as ever in Hong Kong, and Boss Lei, as the financier, was naturally happy.

"Lei Sheng, what do you want to know, I know everything!"

After the pleasantries, Wu Feng sat on the sofa at will, looked at Boss Lei with a smile, and said straight to the point: "It's New Year's Eve soon, everyone is busy, so don't talk nonsense!"

"Quite straightforward, I like it!"

Boss Lei also meant this, and said with a light laugh: "I want to know, how did Yindu Institution suddenly send films to the US film festival to participate?"

"Naturally, it's to sell for money, maximizing interests!"

Wu Feng said directly: "The result is not bad; the two films sold for 1.5 million US dollars together!"

As soon as this was said, the breathing rhythm in the office obviously stagnated.

This information was not revealed in the newspapers, and hearing it suddenly was still quite shocking.

According to the fixed exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar at this time, that is nearly 12 million Hong Kong dollars.

How could the copyright of the films that had already been finished sell for so much money, how could it not make the Cinema City members jealous?

Even Boss Lei couldn't help but show surprise, and even a little bit of intention.

"Then you, how did you choose the US Saint, Saint... what film festival?"

He asked again: "And you can have great confidence in winning an award, it's really amazing!"

"Speaking of this, I feel that Hong Kong film people are too closed and narrow!"

Wu Feng said unceremoniously: "Focusing on the markets of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, as well as Japan and South Korea, and for the film market in Europe and America, it seems that they are born with fear and don't dare to touch it!"

These words were very impolite; not to mention the Cinema City members, even Boss Lei's face changed.

"Don't think I'm satirizing Hong Kong film people; I don't have that free time!"

Wu Feng sneered: "In fact, many things cannot stand pondering!"

"The European and American market is so big, even if Hong Kong films can't enter the mainstream channels, aren't there other channels to think of ways to enter?"

"Don't doubt it, it is precisely through the channel of film festivals to enter the European and American market!"

"Don't think that European and American film festivals are very high-end; people are also operating according to business!"

"Wusheng, do you mean that as long as you find the right European and American film festival, you can sell the film over there?"

Huang Baiming reacted first, his face full of surprise and excitement.

"That's natural!"

Wu Feng nodded and smiled: "For example, the Sundance Film Festival in the United States..."

He repeated what he said to Chairman Liao at Yindu Institution.

In the past, the core members of Cinema City present would definitely spray him in the face and directly call it nonsense.

But now, Wu Feng's speculation came true, which is solid foresight and real ability.

Not to mention others, even Boss Lei, who claimed to be well-informed, listened with relish and thought deeply.

"Wusheng, according to your meaning, Cinema City's films also have a chance to earn old foreigners' US dollars??"

Mai Jia was excited: "Cinema City's film library is not small!"

Not only him, but all the core members of Cinema City at this time showed excitement.

"Don't daydream, comedy films can't be sold!"

Wu Feng directly poured a basin of cold water on them and said irritably: "Comedy films have obvious regional limitations. Unless Cinema City has a comedy king at the level of Chaplin, otherwise, wanting to sell comedy films to Europe and America, just daydream!"

A few words made the core backbone of Cinema City quite embarrassed.

Cinema City's films were originally based on comedy films.

"Then, then is there no way?"

Mai Jia was a little unwilling and probed: "Like the 'Aces Go Places' series..."

"Don't mention the 'Aces Go Places' series; if you dare to send it to Europe and America, the film companies over there will dare to sue you. Some things should not be said too clearly!"

Wu Feng laughed: "It's just that films like 'Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing' and 'The Isle of Fantasy' should have some market in Europe and America. If the chosen film festival is suitable, selling the copyright won't be a problem!"

"Why is this?"

Mai Jia asked unhappily: "I admit that these two films are very good, but they are both art films!"

"Don't mention art films or not art films; I don't feel about this kind of statement!"

Wu Feng said directly: "The key is whether it can make European and American audiences resonate!"

"The story of 'Papa, Can You Hear Me Sing' is very good; at least there is a similar group in the United States. You can investigate it yourself and you will know!"

"As for 'The Isle of Fantasy', it is a film that focuses on vulnerable groups. It can get attention at any film festival in the world. Is it possible that there are no guys like the film's protagonist in Europe and America?"

In fact, he felt that 'The Isle of Fantasy' and 'Forrest Gump' were the same type of film.

However, 'Forrest Gump's' narrative was more magnificent, integrating historical events well into the film.

In fact, this film exposed a quite disgusting thing that the United States did that year, but it was not widely exposed.

And 'The Isle of Fantasy' was just based on family affection.

But even so, if the publicity is appropriate, it is not impossible to get an unimaginable box office. The European and American circuits are very tolerant of such films, and basically, they can be screened for a long time.

Of course, Wu Feng would definitely not reveal this information to these guys in Cinema City.

Being able to inform some inside information about participating in European and American film festivals and specifying two films was already giving enough face, and more required interest exchange.

In fact, he felt that the 'Prison on Fire' series produced by Cinema City should also have a certain market in Europe and America, but he didn't say it out loud.

At noon, Boss Lei treated Wu Feng to a good meal at a well-known restaurant nearby.

This time, only the three bosses of Cinema City accompanied him, and everyone was in a very good mood.

Wu Feng pointed out another way for them to make money, and it was US dollars, so how could they not be happy?

After eating, the three bosses of Cinema City left sensibly, and Boss Lei asked directly: "Can 'A Better Tomorrow' produced by Tsui Hark Studio be sold to Europe and America?"

"Chinese communities might have some box office!"

Wu Feng really wanted to say: What kind of daydream are you having?
