Du Yang didn't comfort Mu Ming, Pierce is really optimistic about "Genius Gunman".
"Cheating is not uncommon in the film market."
Pierce looked at Mu Ming and said: "But most of them are comedies, and few are treated like "Model Student".
I have to say, Mu, your movie is very innovative. ” "And it's exciting enough."
Mu Ming added with a smile.
"Haha, yes, Mu, it's really exciting."
Pierce nodded and smiled.
The atmosphere is good, and Pierce's attitude towards Mu Ming is quite enthusiastic.
One is because the quality of the movie itself is good, and the other is for the vast Chinese market behind Mu Ming.
As the president of the festival, in addition to recommending high-quality films, Peirce's most important job is to increase the influence of the festival.
Although the Toronto Film Festival has skyrocketed in importance in the North American market due to several successful Oscar predictions.
But Pierce knows that the North American market isn't the only market in the world.
China's film market has expanded rapidly and has now surpassed neon to become the world's second largest film market after North America.
Coupled with the increase in the number of imported films of China Film and the increase in the proportion of account sharing, the Chinese market has gradually occupied a considerable proportion of the North American film industry.
Before meeting, Pierce naturally learned about Mu Ming's information.
I know that this baby director, who has only made two films, has a box office of more than $100 million per movie, and it is all won by small productions with a cost of only a few million.
When he first saw this, Pierce sighed that if Mu Ming was born in the United States, he would inevitably become the most popular director among those independent film companies.
Of course, if it was just a talented young director, Pierce wouldn't have paid much attention to it.
After all, there are too many talented young directors, but there are very few who can really grow up.
However, after learning that this young man is currently the most popular in the Chinese market and is also an influential young director among the younger generation of moviegoers, his importance is naturally different.
This is also the reason why he agreed to meet Mu Ming, otherwise, he would meet any director who participated in the film festival, and he would not be tired to death.
Sensing Pierce's kindness, Mu Ming coughed lightly and said, "Mr.
Handlin, as far as I know, some adjustments have been made to the screening order of this year's Toronto Film Festival, and only some 'heavyweight' or 'jury-recommended' films can be screened from the first four days. ” Mu Ming added accents to the phrases "heavyweight" and "recommended by the jury", and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"That's true."
Pierce admitted, and then smiled at Mu Ming: ""Model Student" naturally cannot be regarded as a 'heavyweight', but the theme and treatment of the movie are very rare.
As the president of the festival, I would love to see more films of different genres appearing at the festival. ” Mu Ming and Du Yang glanced at each other, with joy in their eyes.
Pierce's meaning is very clear, he is willing to give "Genius Gunman" a "jury-recommended" place, that is, it can be screened from day one.
From a practical point of view, generally only the films screened in the first four days are eligible to compete for the only award of the final film festival, the "People's Choice Award".
Of course, Mu Ming has no pursuit of awards.
After all, "Genius Gunman" was filmed with the appetite of the audience in the Chinese market, and North American moviegoers must also like it, but it is certainly not as good as the local North American movies.
The purpose of him and Mizuki is just to expand the popularity of some "Genius Gunslinger".
In this way, when negotiating the price with the public and private sectors of North American films, the mouth can also be opened.
"Thank you, Mr.
Handlin."
Mu Ming picked up the wine glass in front of her and thanked her earnestly.
"Don't be so serious, Mu, we also need the support of the Chinese market."
Pierce said bluntly: "In your Chinese words, this is called, uh......"
"A perfect match."
Mu Ming said.
"It's the first time I've heard that word."
Pierce also raised his glass: "You know, Chinese is too difficult to learn, especially for an old man like me.
However, isn't it because of such differences that the world is wonderful?
” "Yes, it's wonderful because of the differences."
"Phew!"
The sound of the crisp glass striking also represents the completion of this meeting. ··········· On September 4th, the 39th Toronto Film Festival officially opened.

There were quite a few big names who participated in the opening ceremony, Robert Downey Jr., Benedict Cumberbatch, Eddie Redmayne, Jessica Chastain......
However, contrary to the big names, there are not many heavyweight films.
This year's hit film "Birdman", David Fincher's new work "Gone Girl", and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Sex is Evil" did not participate in the Toronto Film Festival.
Mu Ming finally understood that the reason why Pierce agreed so happily was that there were too many free places.
But it's reasonable to think about it, if there are really a bunch of big names there, Mu Ming and them won't be so easy.
Mu Ming is very popular in China, but there is no fame among North American movie audiences.
However, because of the change in the rules of this year's Toronto Film Festival, the films that can be screened in the first four days are bound to be of good quality.
Therefore, there are still a lot of people in the screening hall.
There are distributors who come to pan for gold, there are heads of independent film companies, and there are also some media and audiences.
The main person in charge of receiving is Du Yang, and Mu Ming's character is when she needs herself, she comes out to say hello and say a few polite words by the way.
"Mu Ming."
Du Yang greeted again, Mu Ming sighed, there was always a feeling that he was about to come out.
"Introducing, Mr.
Jon Tox of Fox Searchlight."
Du Yang gestured to a medium-sized foreigner beside her.
As for appearance, most foreigners actually look similar in Mu Ming's eyes.
"Hello, Mr.
Tox."
Mu Ming stretched out her hand: "I am the director of this movie, Mu."
Mu Ming originally planned to use the name upside down, but later found that it was too unlucky to pronounce, so she used the surname directly.
"Nice to meet you."
Tox stretched out his hand and shook Mu Ming, the meaning was very happy, but the tone was very flat, obviously polite.
Mu Ming didn't care, on the contrary, if Tox was very enthusiastic about him, then he would have to think about it.
"Mu Ming, let's introduce this film."
Du Yang said on the side.
"Of course."
Mu Ming looked at Tox and said with a smile: "The main selling point of this movie is the rare cheating theme, and the unique editing style......
Mu Ming is not a technical freak, he knows that these people are not here to listen to the camera and what the connotation is.
They are more concerned about where the selling point is and what the audience is.
Therefore, Mu Ming directly avoided those professional topics and talked directly about the market.
Obviously, Tox was very satisfied with Mu Ming's way of introduction.
In the screening hall of 150 people, there will be fifty or sixty people, which is a good result.
On the screen in front of everyone is the picture of "Genius Gunman", some of the people in the audience are watching the plot intently, and some are bowing their heads from time to time to record something in their notebooks.
Naturally, there are also many people who quit halfway, and these are obviously people who don't like or are not optimistic about this movie.
Mu Ming didn't care about it, after all, most of the audience in the exhibition hall would still watch it with relish.
