As the night gets darker, the number of people on the road does not decrease at all. North America is the largest film market in the world. It has many fanatical fans. Their hobbies are different. It is also fun for many people to watch some interesting small productions at the film festival. where.

And except during the film festival, most of the films on the road show will not be seen at all in the future.

Not to mention going into theaters, the chances of it becoming a videotape or disc are very small.

Then there is the buyer of the film company. Every year, the Sun Denis Film Festival can produce several small productions with good market returns.

It seems to be the man from the Artisan company.

A movie was being shown at the road show ahead, and Tony pointed to one of the dozen or so spectators and said, The one we saw in the front lobby of the hotel is called Billy.

Ronan saw it too. He looked up at the shaky screen on the small screen, and said to Tony, Let's go and have a look.

The two came to the place facing the screen, and Billy also saw Ronan, and smiled at him, and Ronan smiled back.

The two sides were not familiar with each other and did not speak.

What kind of crap.

An audience member on Ronan's left complained, I'm dizzy from shaking.

He greeted his female companion: Let's go, let's go.

The female companion also shook her head: The picture quality is too bad.

The two turned around and left without a trace of nostalgia.

Regardless of these, Ronan crossed his chest with one hand and pinched his chin with the other, watching the terrible picture on the screen with interest.

The picture quality is really bad, and the jitter is quite severe.

From his point of view, it is not difficult to see that this is a cheap DV camera, and the shooting is handheld. Professional equipment such as Steadicam must have never been used.

After watching for a while, Ronan looked at the people who showed the movie again.

There are only two people in this roadshow position, both in their thirties, one is a white man wearing glasses, and the other is a Latin mixed race.

It sucks...

There were quite a few people who complained about the film, and soon Ronan, Tony, and Billy from Artison Entertainment were left.

Tony whispered: Let's go too, this is not a movie, it's just a bad selfie DV.

Ronan shook his head: Don't worry, wait a while.

He continued to look at the picture, and it seemed that it was somewhat different from the one in his impression. Many places were in a different order, and there were too many flaws. What seemed wrong?

Then, Ronan figured it out, edit! It's a clip!

It is estimated that after the film fell into the hands of the film company in the previous life, it was re-edited.

Are you here? Someone walked to the place between Ronan and Billy from Artison Entertainment, looked around, and said, Did you find an interesting movie?

The person who came was Greg Enrique. When passing by, he saw Ronan and Billy staring at the same movie. As a buyer's sensitive touch, he immediately urged him to come over.

Billy glanced at Gray, shrugged, and said, There are no interesting movies. I just marvel that the film festival is becoming more and more depraved. Even this kind of outdoor selfie DV video can be used as a road show.

As he spoke, he shook his head.

Ronan echoed: Subtleties can reflect the overall situation. The movies I have seen are disappointing. The film festival is not as good as before.

Of course, Greg Enrique would not believe the words of the two colleagues. After smiling, he stared at the small screen for a while, and the camera shook violently again. Coupled with the rough and poor quality of the picture, he felt dizzy for a while.

He glanced left and right at the two colleagues. It turned out that the two of them were not lying. This is not a movie at all. The home videos he made himself are better than this.

Sure enough, the Sun Denis Film Festival has no lower limit, and any kind of rags can come to be screened.

Billy Horford took a sneak peek at Ronan and Gray, and seeing the two keep shaking their heads, he didn't say much, instead, he took a look at the two in the screening.

This DV video was really bad, but it gave him a strange feeling. This kind of feeling makes a professional buyer vaguely feel that there is some value, but he can't tell what the value is.

The picture on the small curtain suddenly went dark, and something went wrong with the old projector.

I'm sorry. The white man wearing glasses quickly said to this side: The projector is broken, I'm very sorry.

He didn't mean to repair the projector, but instead came over.

During the screening, he was quietly observing, and smelled the smell of movie buyers from the last few people left.

After the film was shot, he definitely couldn't keep it in the bottom of the box. He went to many film companies with the film on his back, but none of them showed even the slightest interest. Coming to the Saint Denis Film Festival was the last helpless choice.

At the film festival, no one cares about it anymore, so they can only go back and throw it in the warehouse.

I'm Daniel Malik, the director of this film. The middle-aged man with glasses first introduced himself, then took out his business card and handed it to Ronan, Gray, Billy and others one by one, saying: We will have a screening tomorrow, and I will try to rent a new projector, if you are interested, you can call me, and I will inform you of the screening time.

Billy took the business card and replied casually, Thank you.

Although Gray didn't like this movie, his professionalism as a buyer was excellent, just like how he treated Ronan back then, he took the business card very politely, and said with a smile, It's a very distinctive movie.

Daniel Melick finally handed the business card to Ronan, and Ronan glanced at it and said, It's a very interesting film.

This is very false, not to mention Billy and Gray, two professional buyers who can hear it, Tony has the urge to roll his eyes, can he be more perfunctory?

Ronan put the business card in his pocket casually, pulled Tony down, and said, Let's go.

Tony nodded: Don't watch this kind of bad movie. If you take me to watch the movie, you should also find something eye-catching to watch?

Ronan said as he walked, I'm dizzy from the shaking of the camera, and I've had enough. Let's go! Go back to sleep.

These words were clearly and unmistakably passed on, and Daniel Malik showed a helpless smile. It was really wrong to spend money to make this film.

Gray also shook his head. This kind of film is worthless. Strictly speaking, it is not a movie at all.

Seeing Gray Enrique leave, Billy hesitated for a moment and left too.

He felt that there was hidden value in this film, but his rationality told him that this kind of junk would not be sold even if it was sold in the market for video tapes.

Let's wait until the next time this director releases a film and watch it.

Ninety-nine percent of this kind of film is in the hands of the shooter.

Having said that, the picture is so rough, the camera shakes so much, and there is no storyline to speak of, so why buy it back? Direct to videotape release?

After all, I am also an experienced film buyer. It would be a shame to go to the Saint Denis Film Festival and buy a video tape film that has no market.

Back in the hotel room, Tony changed his clothes and called Ronan to the hotel bar.

Maybe we can meet a female star? Tony said to Ronan.

Ronan took out the business card, took out his mobile phone, and waved to Tony: You go, I still have work to deal with.

Seeing Ronan pressing the number on the business card, Tony opened his mouth in surprise: Isn't it? Ronan, you're actually interested in that junk movie? You don't want to buy that DV video, do you? Can that thing be considered a movie?

Ronan raised his finger, gestured for silence, and dialed the number.

Tony stared at Ronan incredulously, and kept scratching his head: Even if I am not a professional in the film industry, I have watched quite a few movies, and the most shoddy old and aunt-level **** produced in Germany are even better than that DV The video is nice.

Ronan ignored Tony and waited patiently for the call to connect.

This is Daniel Malik, can I help you with anything?

Hearing this voice, Ronan put away the contempt he had deliberately pretended before, and said calmly: Hello, Director Daniel Malik, I am Ronan Anderson, a movie buyer of Relativity Entertainment Group, I watched it tonight. Your video, I want to ask you to talk.

The voice on the other side of the phone was full of surprises: Ah... ah! Okay! When? Now?

It is impossible for Ronan to act too hastily, which will not be good for the future, he said lightly: Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I will wait for you at the coffee shop of Parker Intercity Hotel.

Good! Good! The other side was very excited: I will definitely be there on time!
