After signing on the signature wall, Su Ye and Su Qingxue walked into the Festival Palace in the main venue.

Walking into the Festival Palace, it has already been filled with big stars from all over the world.Even if it is a senior movie fan, I am afraid it will be dazzling.

Anyway, Su Ye can't recognize so many big stars.

I am afraid that only by reading countless tool cools can he distinguish every detail of every star with his innocent eyes.

The two entered the main venue. Because there were no acquaintances, there were a few reporters around Spear, so they didn't go to join in the excitement, and directly found a quiet place, waiting for the opening film screening to begin.

"Director Su, what a coincidence."

Just when Su Yebai was bored, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

Every time I heard this voice, Su Ye always remembered a classic line: "Duan Kun, I'm ready to eat, and Jesus can't keep him!"

And the person who can remind Su Ye of this line is obviously only Duan Kun, a well-known young director from Xiangjiang, who has now gone to Hollywood to develop, no, Duan Shakun.

Su Ye turned around and saw Duan Shakun wearing a modest black suit with an inexplicable smile. He stretched out his hand and looked at Su Ye.

The grievances with Duan Shakun can be traced back to when Su Ye was on vacation in the Maldives.It is also because of Duan Shakun that Su Ye and Cheng Boyang forged a deep friendship.

As a result, the two shot a special effects blockbuster at the same time, and in the end Su Ye's "A Chinese Ghost Story" both overwhelmed Duan Shakun in both the Mainland and Xiangjiang.Duan Shakun disappeared for a long time.

Later, Duan Shakun made another martial arts film, which ended in a fiasco at the box office.However, Su Ye led a new wave of martial arts because of her new martial arts film "Sword Rain".

It can be said that Duan Shakun was completely defeated by Su Ye from beginning to end.

However, when Su Ye saw Duan Shakun here, there was a kind of intimacy—it was not that there were no other Chinese directors, but Su Ye and them were not too familiar.

Shaking their hands with Duan Shakun, Su Ye smiled and said, "Guide Duan, where in life don't meet."

"Haha, this shows that we are destined." Duan Shakun smiled and couldn't help but remember that he had attended a banquet in the United States and planned to befriend Spear, but Spear recognized himself as Su Ye's embarrassing scene.

"I heard that Director Su's new film was brought to Ghana for the election?" Duan Shakun forcibly forgot the unpleasant period, and asked Su Ye with a smile.

Su Ye smiled and said: "Come to join in the fun. I basically don't have much chance to win the prize. The main reason is to make friends and buy and sell copyright."

The main purpose of the Ghana Film Festival is naturally to select the best film works in the world, but in addition, the Ghana Film Festival also undertakes the role of trading film rights and other commercial cooperation.

In addition to world-renowned directors, actors and screenwriters, people who come to participate in the festival include distribution companies, investors, and producers all over the world.As long as they see a film at the film festival, they can complete the copyright transaction through the film festival and the film producer, so that the film can be shown in more regions and get more box office benefits.

According to common sense, the "Resident Evil" candidate should also be represented by the producer, but Su Ye himself is the largest producer, of course, there is no need for Tianjing Film and Television to send another person.

From the time "Resident Evil" participated in the Ghana Film Festival, Su Ye did not intend to win.He just wanted to attract the attention of filmmakers and sell the copyright of "Resident Evil" worldwide.

In this way, Su Ye's reputation was blown out, and Su Qingxue, as the only heroine, could also be known to people all over the world.

"Do you make friends?" Hearing Su Ye's words, Duan Shakun said, "Director Su may be a bit too idealistic. Our China film industry is not standardized enough, and it is not in the eyes of European Hollywood bigwigs. Making friends , Director Su, you may be disappointed."

For some unique reasons, the Chinese film industry is not considered top in the world.As for China's excellent movies, they are also inferior in the world.Not to mention the directors of Huaxia, except for some well-known Huaxia directors, those world film talents who are above the top will not make friends with you.

Su Ye heard something from Duan Shakun's words.He asked: "How is your development in Hollywood?"

"I can only say that I can barely deal with it." Duan Shakun smiled bitterly. "If you want to be famous in Hollywood, you have to endure some more years."

"Keep working hard." Su Ye didn't say anything more about this question, but suddenly he remembered another thing, "Do you also have a movie candidate?"

"Of course." Duan Shakun replied without hesitation, "Because I have never been able to find much investment, so I want to make an independent film first and make some international fame, so that I can receive more when I return to Hollywood. Many invitations to cooperate-didn't you come to Ghana because of this?"

Su Ye is noncommittal: "I hope we can all gain something here."

"You'd better be mentally prepared." After Duan Shakun finished speaking, he smiled at Su Qingxue who was listening silently and turned and left.

He casually joined a group of people and chatted with the group of foreigners very smoothly.

If Su Ye is right, there is also a popular Hollywood actor Lu Meier among those people.

"What does that Duan Shakun mean? Why do you think he is very dissatisfied with you, Dad?" Su Qingxue said with some dissatisfaction when Duan Shakun left.

"You're right, just don't take good care of your father and me!" Su Ye nodded and admitted.

"Ha! He is your defeated opponent, so he is embarrassed to say these things?" Su Qingxue snorted.

"In fact, what he said is quite reasonable, at least compared to him now, I really lag behind a lot." Su Ye looked at Duan Shakun, who was like a duck among the many directors and actors, and said slowly, "He is in After spending more than two years in Hollywood, no matter how difficult it is, he has accumulated some contacts. He came to the Ghana Film Festival. As long as the work is not bad, someone will definitely buy his films."

Duan Shakun said to Su Ye just now, "You should be mentally prepared." One is that director Hua Xia sells copyright and the chance of success is not very high; the other is that he doesn't need to do anything psychologically. ready.

No matter what industry you are in, networking is something more valuable than money.

If you are a real estate salesperson and you know a lot of local tyrants, then you must sell more houses than anyone else.

If you write online articles and you know many great authors, then your work must have more exposure than ordinary authors.

Even if you are a garbage picker, if you know a restaurant owner, you will pick up a lot more bottles than other garbage pickers!

In the movie industry, because Duan Shakun has been in Hollywood for two years, he must know more filmmakers than Su Ye—in fact, Su Ye knows a Spear, oh, and Jack and John— The person Duan Shakun knows may not be the investor or the producer, but they must have friends who are the investor and the producer.With the introduction of friends, friends of friends have a high chance of helping friends of friends.

Duan Shakun’s film rights must be easier to sell than Su Ye.

"What if no one pays attention to our movie?" Su Qingxue couldn't help but worry after hearing Su Ye's explanation.

"Speier looks at movies differently, how can other filmmakers fail to see the potential of "Resident Evil"?" Su Ye never worried about this.

He patted the back of Su Qingxue's hand and said with a smile: "Even if no one else buys our movie, don't forget, the copyright of "Resident Evil" has been sold to Jack."

"Yes!" Su Qingxue understood, "but the more people buy our copyright, the more we earn!"

"My little Xue has become smarter." Su Ye exaggerated.

"Your Xiaoxue is always so smart!" Su Qingxue pretended to be triumphant.

Just when the two of you talked to me and talked happily, Spear finally got rid of the few reporters he kept asking, and came to Su Ye.

"The reporter is the second most difficult person in the world, so I have had enough!" Spear let out a long sigh of relief and vomit.

"Then who is the most difficult person?" Su Qingxue asked curiously.

"Fans!" Spear and Su Ye said almost simultaneously.

Then the two of them froze for a while, and laughed at the same time.

"How do you feel?" Spear asked Su Ye after laughing for a while.

"It feels pretty good. It's a lot bigger than our award ceremony in China." Su Ye said.

"Hahaha! This is the carnival of filmmakers from all over the world!" Spear laughed, "Let’s go, I will take you to meet my friends, maybe they will have some influence on your film and the director of you. interest."

"Okay." Su Ye had already waited for Spear to say this.

"But," Spear said suddenly, seriously, "you have to know one thing beforehand."
