400,000 euros!"

"600,000 euros!"

"Oh, the price is too high! He, you have to know that this is just a niche theme. ”

"Mr. Dutron, you should be well aware that Green Meadows costs much more than Incense, and as for the niche you mentioned, I don't think so, at least it's very popular with the audience here. ”

"420,000 euros! He, this is the highest price that can be offered within my power, I hope you can understand. Dutron said with a sincere face.

"Understand, of course I do!"

He Xin glanced at Xiao Douding helplessly, he knew that he was not a business material, and the last time he sold "Incense", although the price of 350,000 euros was very gratifying, but in hindsight, he still felt that he was selling a little loss, even if he fought for another 10,000 or 20,000 euros! So this time he planned to be a tool man in a down-to-earth manner, and Xiao Douding and Xiao Song were responsible for negotiating and selling films.

After two days, Duteron really took the initiative to come to the door, but after two negotiations, the price was never negotiated. No, early this morning, Dutron actually came to block his door.

I have to say that this foreigner is really a chicken thief, he knows that He Xin is the boss, and at the same time, between the last experience, he still cites He Xin to talk better, after all, he is an artist!

In fact, 420,000 euros is already quite good for He Xin, in recent years, with the continuous strengthening of the euro, the exchange rate with the yuan has reached 1:11, that is to say, 420,000 euros has reached 4.6 million, which is more than twice the cost of "Green Meadow".

However, in view of the praise of the film from the outside world and the intention of the filmmakers to buy the film, Xiao Douding and Xiao Song raised the minimum target from 300,000 euros to 450,000 euros, and since Dutron took the initiative to come to the door, they raised this target to 500,000 euros.

Now both sides understand in their hearts that the other party has the sincerity to buy and sell, which is nothing more than asking for a sky-high price in terms of price, and the other is paying back the money on the spot.

"To tell you the truth, Monsieur Duteron, at this time I would prefer to have coffee with you and talk about movies, as for business...... I guess it's better to leave it to a professional!" He Xin said with his hands spread.

"He, don't be kidding, I know you don't like coffee, you like Chinese tea!" Dutron pointed to the tea in the cup in front of He Xin and laughed.

He admitted that he had told a joke, but looking at the reactions of He Xin, Xiao Douding, the translator next to him, and Xiao Song next to him, he couldn't help pinching his big nose with some embarrassment, and said frankly: "Okay, the 420,000 euros I said is indeed my highest authority, and I am not lying." But you should believe in my sincerity and give me a sincere price, so that I can also fight for the company. ”

Several people glanced at each other, and finally Xiao Douding pursed his lips and quoted a price: "Five hundred and eighty thousand euros!"

“what？”

Dutron almost didn't jump out of his chair, and it took him a long time to talk before the other party dropped 20,000 euros.

"Alright!

He Xin hurriedly played the round, and then said seriously: "550,000 euros, this is our reserve price." ”

Dutron looked at him equally seriously, and finally stood up helplessly and said, "Okay, He, I'll try to get it from the company." ”

He Xin also stood up and shook hands with him and said, "But you'd better hurry up, if there are no accidents, we plan to return to China on the 18th." ”

“OK！”

After sending Du Tron away, Xiao Douding snorted: "This foreigner is not honest at first glance, he is the vice president of MK2, and he has no power to decide the affairs of hundreds of thousands of euros?

Xiao Song said with a normal face: "Talking about business, to put it bluntly, it is a process of bargaining." ”

said, and specially reminded: "Boss He, Mr. Hu, I think we still have to keep in touch with other film companies now, after all, the contract has not been signed, and nothing counts." ”

"That's right, what Brother Song said makes sense. He Xin nodded.

Xiao Douding glanced at him and snorted coldly: "This is a matter of course, and I still need you to remind me!"

Hey, it seems that Xiao Douding is talking to Brother Song more and more politely, He Xin looked at Xiao Song and found that the other party was not angry at all, and he still looked like a matter of course.

What's going on?

However, the matter of selling the film has finally been settled, and it can even be sold at a good price, which makes He Xin feel very comfortable, and this time he came to Berlin to finally overfulfilled the task.

Think about it, if it can really sell 500,000 euros, according to the studio's 40% proportion, it can get more than 2 million, which is not counting the share of the domestic box office. In a word, the money for "Stone" has fallen in the second half of the year.

......

"Sister!

He Xin hugged Jiang Wenli with a smile, then shook hands with Gu Changwei, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Director Gu, I thought you wouldn't be able to come, how did you find things later?"

"Hey, you know about that, too?"

Gu Changwei said with an embarrassed face: "The main reason is that I was too busy some time ago, and when this ticket and passport were delivered, I just put it away, but then I couldn't remember where to put it." The day before yesterday, I was ready not to come, but that day I drove home with Wen Li, Wen Li saw that there was a hat of mine in the back seat, and said that this hat was my favorite, and I was careful to be sat down in the car, so I took it casually, but found that the ticket and passport were under the hat. You said that I looked for N times in the car before, but I didn't expect to pick up my hat and take a look. ”

In the end, even he laughed himself.

He Xin couldn't help laughing and said: "You can encounter such a bizarre thing, this is definitely a good sign, "Peacock" will definitely win the award this time!"

"Yo, borrow your good words!"

Gu Changwei and his entourage arrived in Berlin on the evening of the 15th, accompanied by Jiang Wenli, as well as the three sisters and brothers in "Peacock", Zhang Jingchu, Feng Li and Lu Jinlai.

Staying at the hotel officially designated by the organizing committee, He Xin hurried to visit after dealing with Duteron this morning.

At this time, Senior Sister Zhang was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, a pure white long waist-cinching down jacket, no makeup, and a shawl with long hair, still as light as a chrysanthemum, standing behind the director and his wife, looking at him with a smile.

"Senior Sister Zhang!"

He Xin walked over and hugged her with a smile.

has collaborated on two plays, and the two are now old acquaintances.

And Feng Li and Lu Jinlai were inevitably a little restrained in their expressions because they went abroad to participate in such a grand film festival for the first time, and everyone shook hands and politely exchanged a few words.

The crew of "Peacock" came late and the itinerary was in a hurry, so they were busy reporting for the exhibition today, and tomorrow was the noon press conference on the 17th, and the welcome banquet held by the organizer in the evening, and the movie premiered on the 18th.

Maybe I can squeeze out a little time today, Senior Sister Zhang took the initiative to say: "Xiaohe, you are a regular visitor here, you will go out with me for a while!"

"Beautiful lady, very willing to serve you!" He Xin replied with a smile.

Then he said to Jiang Wenli: "Sister, you can go together!"

"I really want to go, but unfortunately there are too many things to leave, you go play, have fun!"

Although Jiang Wenli covered it up very well, He Xin could vaguely feel that Jiang Wenli didn't seem to be interested in this senior sister Zhang, who was as light as a chrysanthemum.

Oh, I think about it, as early as during the filming of "Peacock", there was a scandal between Senior Sister Zhang and Gu Changwei, and I don't know if it's true or not, at least during the time He Xin made a cameo, I felt that the relationship between the two was quite normal.

But how to say it, the so-called "glow-in-the-dark script" is still quite common in the crew, the director and actors are usually more emotional, especially the actress sometimes has to fully understand the director's intentions, and the director is usually under a lot of pressure.

Is this a good means of channeling and understanding, and at the same time a who is responsible for the movie?

It's hard to say!

Nothing more than the Palais du Cinémath, Potsdamer Platz and, most lively, Crotch Street.

Sister Zhang's English is very good, and most Germans can speak English, so there is basically no language barrier. However, Senior Sister Zhang doesn't seem to be too keen on shopping, preferring to browse movie posters around the movie palace, and at the same time ask He Xin about various gossip since the opening of the film festival.

Thinking of the news that after the Berlin Film Festival announced the list of finalists for the main competition, the domestic media has been hyping her to compete for the queen of the movie, it seems that our senior sister Zhang is very angry when she comes to Berlin this time!

When the two passed by the movie poster of the shortlisted German film "Sophie Scurel", they pointed to the photo of the heroine on the poster and smiled: "This may be the biggest and only rival you have met so far." ”

After watching this film, I was very impressed by the performance of the young German actress named Julia Yates in the movie. And the media also praised this local actor, believing that he is the hottest candidate for this film festival.

Zhang Jingchu stopped, looked at it very seriously, and then said with a smile: "She looks like Sandrina Bonel!"

Sandrina Bonnard, Venice actress, famous French goddess of literature and art.

In these years, liking French New Wave films is a manifestation of compulsion, for example, the idol of Zhou Xun is another French actress, Elisabeth Huppert. But for He Xin, he still likes Sophie Marceau, without him, it is beautiful!

At noon, He Xin had a treat, and the two of them had lunch at the small restaurant that he usually frequented in the vicinity of Potsdamer Platz.

"Shall I invite you to a movie in the afternoon?"

After lunch, Zhang Jingchu looked at a film festival schedule.

"Okay, what's going on today?"

"Well, "The Accusation" is a Danish film, and it is also a work shortlisted for the main competition. ”

"Okay!"

During the festival, there are seven, eight to ten films released every day, and today He Xin originally wanted to see the Hollywood adventure comedy "Life in the Water", because the heroine of this film is his favorite Cate Blanchett, the famous "Cate the Devil".

It's just that this film was only shortlisted for the screening unit.

Generally, those who come to the festival for the first time tend to pay more attention to the films shortlisted for the main competition unit. In fact, to be honest, after participating in such a film festival, He Xin has already had experience, and the really good-looking movies are the non-competition films, because those movies are more interesting and not as cold as the films in the competition unit.

Two hours later, when the two walked out of the movie theater, they were relatively speechless.

It's really embarrassing, no one expected that this Danish film shortlisted for the main competition unit would be about a man accused of pedophilia and promiscuity.

When I watched it, Zhang Jingchu was next to him and helped him translate English subtitles in a whisper, but he was a little incoherent.

The plot of the story is roughly a wealthy middle-class family, the father is a swimming coach, the mother is a secretary, and the fourteen-year-old adolescent daughter is very rebellious and has a very strained relationship with her parents.

In a conversation with the school psychologist, the daughter revealed a shocking secret that would change the fate of the family: her father had an abnormal sexual relationship with her since three or four years ago.

The situation was immediately taken seriously by the authorities, who arranged for the daughter to leave the family and the father to be detained and face severe charges.

The mother was under tremendous psychological pressure, and despite the strange eyes of all her relatives and friends, she always believed in her husband and supported him until he was finally acquitted.

A few months later, the parents saw their daughter again and were able to have the opportunity to explain what had happened and reconcile the family.

How so?

A very Western story about love and reconciliation, but for the reserved Oriental, this taboo can always be embarrassing, especially when two young men and women watch this kind of movie together.

It seems that Denmark, a small Nordic country, seems to be particularly fond of pedophile movies, He Xin vaguely remembered that in his last life, he watched a Danish movie called "Hunting" on the Internet and also talked about this, because of the embarrassment and dull plot, he couldn't watch it after watching half of it.

This year's Berlin Film Festival seems to be amplifying the theme of "sex" all the time, and it is actually reflected in Chinese films.

For example, the Hong Kong movie "Peach", which was shortlisted for the non-competition unit and starred by Japanese actress Keiko Matsusaka, Korean transgender artist Ha Lixiu and Hong Kong porn star Zhang Xiaohui, once released, was called a "shemale show" by the media.

And the Chinese film "A Cloud on the Edge of the Sky", which just premiered yesterday and was shortlisted for the main competition unit, looks very literary and beautiful in its name, but halfway through it, He Xin and Ning Hao almost withdrew halfway through the middle with their legs.

The scale of this song and dance film is so large that it is simply a real gun.

Looking at the few red pimples that had just popped up on Ning Hao's face, he really considered whether to help Haozi introduce the real "crotch" street in Berlin, after all, Sister Na didn't come with him this time.

What's even more exaggerated is that at the press conference after the premiere, in the face of the media's doubts about the scale of the film, Cai Mingliang actually admitted that he was shooting an A movie!

In addition, the third-rate Chinese star judge in Hollywood frequently appeared on various red carpets with bold outfits, and talked about "new *** doctrine" in talk shows......

It's still the same sentence: no "chicken" is not a feast, no "sex" is no film festival!
