Chapter 401: Good News Comes Along One After Another
Ning Hao, a typical hands-off shopkeeper, after the release of "Green Meadow", he basically had nothing to do, except for eating and sleeping every day, he went out to watch movies.
Anyway, he is also one of the bosses, but he doesn't care about selling films. Let's talk about him, but he has words, saying that he is a director and not a businessman, and it is enough to sell films with He Xin, Gu Yuewan, and Xiao Song to worry about.
This product is also quite magical, sometimes Xiaodouding is not around, those dialogues in various languages around the world, all English and German subtitles, neither understand nor understand, but still enjoy it, it is said that he mainly looks at the performance of other directors, and the content is secondary.
"What, sold for five hundred and ten thousand euros?"
On the afternoon of the 17th, when He Xin attended the press conference of "Peacock" and just returned to the hotel, he learned the good news.
Since the last time he met Dutron, Xiao Douding and Xiao Song have had several tug-of-war negotiations with the shrewd French publisher, and the previous two times Du Tron has always bitten the price of 450,000 euros and refused to give in. As a result, it was sold for an additional 60,000 euros on the original basis.
But don't underestimate the 60,000 euros, if you sell it piecemeal, it is equivalent to selling the copyright of a medium-sized country like Norway.
Xiao Song was also rarely overjoyed: "In fact, in the end, we are about to reach an agreement on the price of 500,000 euros, and Mr. Hu stubbornly fought for another 10,000 euros." ”
"Of course, we have to have somewhere to reimburse the cost of participating in the film festival this time!" Xiaodouding said proudly.
He Xin was very happy, for him 450,000 was acceptable, and 510,000 was naturally an unexpected joy.
It is rare to say generously: "After returning to China, I will discuss with Lao Yu, and the extra 10,000 euros will be your bonus!"
"Really?"
Xiao Douding, who has always seen money, almost jumped up happily.
"Of course it's true, and Lao Yu is not a stingy person, so I guess it's no problem. Speaking of which, the fact that it was able to sell for such a high price this time is also due to you. He Xin said with a smile.
"Boss, how do I and Brother Song divide this bonus?" Xiao Douding then asked.
He Xin looked at her, then at Xiao Song, and deliberately pretended to be stupid: "I don't know, why don't you two discuss it yourself?" Anyway, you know best which of the two of you will contribute more." ”
Xiao Song nodded hurriedly and said: "Of course, this is Mr. Hu's most contribution, she should take the big head, just let me mean it." ”
"Cut, whoever wants you to be a good person, just one and a half, and no one should take advantage of anyone. Little Douding snorted.
Xiao Song obviously had to postpone, He Xin waved his hand and said: "Anyway, this money will not be sent until after returning to China, you can discuss it slowly, you also prepare, there is a dinner held by the organizer in the evening, let's go and rub it together." Hey, has Haozi come back?"
......
The good news is one after another, at noon the next day, He Xin was changing his clothes and preparing to attend the world premiere of "Peacock" in the afternoon......
Uh, that's right, it's the world premiere! At two o'clock in the afternoon, "Peacock" was officially unveiled at the main venue of the Berlin Film Palace, and at the same time, it was released simultaneously in China.
It is said that Dong Ping is definitely wealthy, Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming" back then, the investment was as high as more than 30 million, and he was one of the main investors. This time Gu Changwei's debut film, "Peacock", as a literary film, also invested more than 30 million yuan, which is definitely a big deal.
And compared with the pitiful foursome of "Green Meadow", the crew of "Peacock" appeared in Berlin as a group, in addition to the main creator of the movie, there are makeup artists, stylists, photographers and a large group of people, and even reporters from Sina Entertainment followed up and interviewed the whole process.
At the same time, the organizer gave this film from China a very high courtesy, for example, the day after arriving in Berlin, German TV 1 conducted a TV interview with the main creator of the crew.
For example, at the welcome dinner held by the organizer tonight, the invitation received by the crew of "Peacock" clearly stated the words of the guest of honor.
The premiere has a special red carpet, and He Xin, as a tool, of course, has to dress up to attend.
Just as he and Ning Hao were just about to go out, they saw Xiao Douding rushing back, yes, it was running, two little short legs were running in the corridor vigorously and quickly, and they shouted excitedly: "Boss, Haozi, the organizer has kept us!"
"Really?"
Before He Xin could react, he saw Ning Hao rushing out like a husky, grabbing Xiao Douding, and said with a shocked expression.
Xiao Douding calmed down his breath, rarely didn't choke with Ning Hao, stood on tiptoe, patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Of course it's true, Haozi, congratulations, you're going to win an award again!"
The Berlin Film Festival has many awards, including the International Film Critics Fipresci Award, the Catholic Humanitarian Award, the Asian Film Promotion Alliance Award, the CICA Art Film Award, etc., and the highest award is the Wolfgang Studder Award.
At that time, Chief Jia's debut film "Xiao Wu" won the Wolfgang Studch Award and the Asian Film Promotion Alliance Award and became famous in one fell swoop.
One thing to emphasize is that none of these awards are actor awards, all of them are film awards.
Of course, the film award also affirms the performance in the film, but it is more certain that the role of the director is the honor of the director.
Last time, "Incense" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival against the current unit, although it finally won the Most Concerned Award and the Best Actor Award, but because of He Xin's fame, the media paid more attention to He Xin's "Venice Little Actor" when reporting, as for Ning Hao's most popular award, there was not much attention.
This time, "Peacock" and "Green Meadow" were shortlisted for the main competition unit and youth forum unit of this year's Berlin Film Festival, and they attracted media attention early.
As soon as he thought of this, Ning Hao's heart was extremely hot.
Originally, after attending the premiere of "Peacock" this afternoon, if the organizers didn't keep it, they planned to book a flight home as soon as possible, so they would have to stay in Berlin for two more days, and tomorrow night will be the awards ceremony.
However, when the two of them went out, Ning Hao, who had been immersed in excitement just now, suddenly suffered again.
"Ah Xin, what award do you think we can win this time?"
"Hah! I think the Wolfgang Studer Award is a must!" He Xin said with a smile to cheer him up.
In fact, he is not very sure, because of the positive reception of the media after the screening of "Green Meadow", he feels that he is more sure that the international film critic Fipresci Award, this award is also not low, second only to the highest award in the forum section - the Wolfgang Studer Award.
Ning Hao let out a long breath, looking both expectant and worried: "I hope!"
It's very close, and after a short walk, I came to the Harbour Plaza Hotel, which is less than 200 meters away from the movie palace, where the crew of "Peacock" stayed. As soon as I entered the lobby, it was crowded with media reporters, including foreigners, but more domestic media, and several cameras on their shoulders were clearly printed with the logos of CCTV and STV.
The reporters were interviewing several of the main creators of the crew in twos and threes, and Gu Changwei, who was sitting at a small round table, gathered the most people.
When he found that He Xin had entered the door, several reporters immediately surrounded him for an interview.
He Xin knows each other very well, and it is no problem to help stand on the platform, but don't take the lead, and at the same time he also wants to take the opportunity to promote "Green Meadow", after all, the movie will be released in China soon.
After answering a few routine questions perfunctorily, he hurriedly pushed Ning Hao beside him out and said: "Regarding the question of "Green Meadow", you still have to interview Director Ning Hao, I just made a cameo by the way, but Director Ning is the screenwriter and director of this film, and he has the most right to speak." ”
Ning Hao was still very shy in the face of the media, and when answering questions, the light flashing in his little eyes was always very sincere, and "inadvertently" he quietly revealed to the media the shocking news that his party was retained by the organizer.
The organizer retains it, which means that it will definitely win the award, no matter what award it gets, for reporters, this is definitely the biggest news today except for the premiere of "Peacock".
Haozi was surrounded by a large number of reporters at once. Even after Gu Changwei learned the news, he deliberately got up and walked to Ning Hao's side to congratulate Director Xiao Ning.
Today, the main creators of the "Peacock" crew are all dressed up, and the fifth-generation directors seem to have a common aesthetic, including the national teacher and Feng Xiaogang, and now there is another Gu Changwei, who is dressed in a black tunics every time there is a major moment.
Of course, the most eye-catching is the heroine Zhang Jingchu, I saw that her hair was coiled high today, a big red embroidered red peony flower, and a bandeau dress with a strong Chinese style surrounded by peacocks.
Sure enough, it is three points of appearance and seven points of dress. Compared with the firewood girl who was shopping with He Xin the day before yesterday, Senior Sister Zhang at this moment is definitely glamorous.
However, He Xin still likes the dress of the senior sister Jiang Wenli, her hair is all combed back, revealing her signature brain, and a loose white shirt is tied to a black skirt, the whole person looks refreshing, capable, and generous, but without losing affinity.
The appearance of a long-haired guy in the crowd made his eyes light up, and he hurriedly went over to greet him: "Brother Eryong is out?"
Er Yong is the executive producer of "Peacock", and when He Xin made a cameo in Anyang, the relationship between the two was good.
It's funny to say, his previous operation of stealing posters actually attracted the "Peacock" crew to follow suit, after all, it saves money and has a good effect.
Er Yong led people to post posters everywhere last night, and they went even more than He Xin did at the beginning, not only pasted all over the perimeter of the movie palace, but even ran to the door of restaurants and cafes to post them, so they were called to the police and arrested inside.
It is said that it was not until this morning that the organizing committee came forward to release him.
Speaking of which, He Xin was still a little guilty, after all, this was his bad idea, he just bragged about it the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect them to really follow suit.
"Well, it's out. Er Yong was inevitably a little embarrassed when he saw He Xin.
"You didn't suffer in there, did you?"
"Oh, that's not true, they heard that we were exhibitors, and they were quite polite, but they were fined some money. ”
Seeing the guilty look on He Xin's face, Er Yong also kindly excused him and said, "It's okay, we can only blame our bad luck!"
