"Sci-fi themes, friendship and adventure, and the shot of Elliott's bicycle flying across the moon has become an eternal freeze. Words and words are no longer enough to evaluate this classic American G movie, the only thing that makes people feel a little bit It's a pity that it came from a Chinese director. Fortunately, from the actors to the filming locations, it's all American G."

"'ET' is an extremely successful film, the power of love is the theme, the best children's film, maintaining the integrity of the children's world."

"This is a film that transcends all barriers, touching hearts with a simple but timeless story, the fairy-tale plot and allegorical revelations in the film make audiences laugh and cry. From the tense and suspenseful opening, to the thought-provoking In the end, the whole film can be said to have no cold scene. It is undoubtedly one of the most important works in the history of world cinema, and it will also become a part of world culture."

"..."

Before the Cannes Film Festival was over, praise from all over the world about "ET" reached Xu Cun's ears. Then came the publishers who smelled fishy—they went to DreamWorks and wanted to release ET.

For an emerging film company, this is a rare opportunity to establish a distribution channel, so Xu Cun immediately asked Shi Nansheng to lead the DreamWorks distribution team to contact these distributors who came to them.

However, despite having contact with these publishers, Xu Cun never thought of using these publishers to release "ET".

The reason is too simple!

First, at this stage, most of the publishers who are actively approaching the door are not strong enough. Even if there are occasionally a few strong ones, Xu Cun can't damage the overall interests of "ET" for local interests.

Second, the establishment of DreamWorks is too short, and the background is seriously insufficient, so the current DreamWorks does not have enough manpower to master a worldwide distribution channel.

Third, the distribution channel without the support of the theater must be extremely fragile. It is okay to use it to make a little money. It is wishful thinking to expect it to make a lot of money.

Fourth, if "ET" is not distributed to powerful publishers, then "ET" will definitely be suppressed by powerful publishers. In that case, Xu Cun will not want to make money from "ET".

Of course, it is impossible for Xu Cun to leave all the distribution rights to the publisher who is about to cooperate with him - the distribution rights in Asia, Xu Cun will not give him anyway.

The truth is simpler!

First, the box office distribution ratio.

If they were handed over to European and American publishers, it would be impossible for those **** to give Xu Cun more than 27%. DreamWorks movies have always had between 31% and 34% of the box office distribution in Asia. There is a difference of at least 4% in the box office distribution ratio between the unified distribution to European and American distributors and the distribution to Asian distributors.

Assuming that "ET" sold a box office of 100 million US dollars in Asia, then the difference is at least 4 million US dollars, which is 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong dollars.

How could Xu Cun get along with so much money?

Second, Xuexun has a stable distribution channel in Asia, and there is no need for European and American publishers to issue.

Moreover, Shao Yifu personally called Xu Cun and said that Shaw Brothers was willing to release "ET" together with Jiahe at the market price.

Many European and American distributors have to turn to Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest for help in releasing movies in Asia. Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest jointly released "ET", so why should Xu Cun let European and American distributors plug in?

Third, Xu Cun has a strong box office appeal in Asia. Asian publishers will take this into account and give Xu Cun more box office, but European and American publishers will not take this into account.

Fourth, Xu Cun has to use the powerful box office of "ET" to maintain his inherent network and distribution channels, so that he can have a stable back office.

Although he had a comprehensive plan in mind, Xu Cun did not reveal his true thoughts to anyone - he was waiting, waiting for major distributors to come to his door, and waiting for the final result of "ET" at the Cannes Film Festival.

……

May 23, the last day of the Cannes Film Festival, is also the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival.

Xu Cun, who has always been seldom nervous, was rarely nervous at the awards ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival - he wanted so much for "ET" to win the award! Because, this not only means that he can make a lot of money, but also means that he can truly enter the global film world. Speaking of which, if "ET" really won the award, it would also be another major victory for the Chinese in the film world.

The presenter opened the envelope: "I announce, Best Supporting Actress: Milena Dragic, "Special Treatment", Carla Gravina, "The Lawn."

……

The presenter opened the envelope: "I announce that the best supporting actor: Jack Thompson "Morant the Horseman".

……

The presenter opened the envelope: "I announce that the best actress: Anouk Aimee's "The Ethereal"."

……

The presenter opened the envelope: "I announce that the best actor: Michelle Piccoli for "The Ethereal".

……

The presenter opened the envelope: "I announce the best screenwriter: Lawn."

……

The presenter opened the envelope: "I announce that the jury's award is: "ET".

The "Jury Prize" was originally born by accident, and now it has become a permanent award of the "Second Prize of the Cannes Film Festival". The purpose of setting up the "Jury Award" at the Venice Film Festival and Berlin Film Festival is the same (the second prize is also known as "Silver Lion", "Silver Bear"~lightnovelpub.net~ aims to recognize the "runner-up" (that is, "quasi-best film" ”).

Xu Cun's goal this time is to win the Jury Prize, which is the second place. After all, "ET" is just a Hollywood commercial film, and there is a lot of gap between it and the designation of pure literary films.

Moreover, Xu Cun knew very well that if it weren't for the high prestige of "ET", which affected the judgment tendency of some judges, "ET" would not even be able to get the runner-up!

However, no matter what the process is, the result is that "ET" won the Jury Prize!

Xu Cun strode up to the podium to receive the trophy, and said excitedly, "Judges of the Cannes Film Festival, I love you! I didn't expect that you would award the Grand Jury Prize to me, an Asian. You are so fair!"

Applause interrupted Xu Cun's words...

After the applause ended, Xu Cun continued: "At this moment, I can stand here, I must thank all the crew of "ET", without your hard work, "ET" could not have won this award, so this The trophy belongs not only to me but also to you. I would also like to thank my daughter... Assistant Director Tang Shuxuan, Sister Tang, you are the best filmmaker!"

Actually, what Xu Cun wanted to say later was: "I would also like to thank my woman. It was your silent support that allowed me to win this award."

Fortunately, at the last moment, Xu Cun responded in a timely manner, and instead used Tang Shuxuan as a shield. Otherwise, there must be another uproar!

He almost said the wrong thing, causing Xu Cun's excitement to cool down quickly! Then, after two more words, he walked off the podium with the trophy in his arms~lightnovelpub.net~ Welcome to reading, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are available at~lightnovelpub.net. com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
