Chapter 258: Arriving in Venice (12,000 per day, begging for subscription~)
After making a phone call with Gong Yin, Wu Jianye made a special call to Director Bai Chen, who had also been nominated for the Venice Film Festival because of "Under the Bridge", and Wu Jianye had just served as a teaching assistant at the academy, so he did not follow Director Bai Chen to Venice.
In fact, not only Wu Jianye, but even Gong Bin, the leading actress, also did not go over, only director Bai Chen and a leader of Shanghai Film Studio.
This time, Wu Jianye was nominated for the Venice Film Festival again, and Director Bai Chen naturally wanted to tell Wu Jianye.
.......
"Leizi, I'm going to Venice in two days, and the affairs of Yanjing will be handed over to you, Yanjing is our base camp, you have to show me!" Wu Jianye called Zhao Lei to the courtyard and admonished.
Zhao Lei nodded: "Brother, don't worry, it's not the first time, it's guaranteed to be fine!"
"Well, I'm relieved that you're doing things. For Zhao Lei, Wu Jianye is still relatively relieved, as Zhao Lei said, it is not the first time.
"Brother, how long are you going to go this time?" Zhao Lei asked curiously.
"It's been almost a month!"
"Do you need to bring some cash with you?"
It has always been the tradition of the Chinese people to be poor and rich, and they would rather be poor at home, and when they go out, they can't make themselves look too shabby.
"No need, when I get to Venice, if I need it, I'll ask Linda to send it to me!"
Most of Wu Jianye's funds in China are RMB, and if you exchange dollars, it is too troublesome, and if you need money in Venice, it is better to let Linda send it over, which is more convenient.
.......
After telling Zhao Lei, Wu saw that he had nothing to do at night.
Now the academy has not yet opened, and even if it does, it will not be Wu Jianye's turn, and their advanced class will not be officially enrolled until October.
For this refresher class, Wu Jianye is still very much looking forward to it, because in this refresher class, there will be two great gods.
One is the head of the future China Film, and the other is the head of the future China Film Directors Association!
Especially the first one, Wu Jianye remembered that he had watched a domestic awards ceremony, and forgot whether it was the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award or the Huabiao Award, although this one did not win the award, but whether it was an actor or a director, when various big names came to the stage to accept the award, they would be the first to thank him.
Han Heping!
Feng Pants was able to shoot the Lunar New Year file, because of Han Heping's support.
At that time, Han Heping was still the director of Yan Film Studio, and Feng Pants was targeted by relevant leaders because of his cooperation with Wang Shuo, and basically the movies they saved would be killed.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Shuo separated from him and went to the United States, while Feng Pants received a call from Han Heping to prepare the first real Chinese New Year movie "Party A and Party B" in China.
The coke is that the script of this movie has actually been written a long time ago, and at that time it was hung with Wang Shuo's name, and it was not reviewed at all, after removing Wang Shuo's name, this movie not only passed the review smoothly, but also set an amazing box office record!
Since then, Feng pants have started the road of God blocking and killing God and Buddha blocking and destroying Buddha during the Chinese New Year.......
.......
Jinmen and Yanjing are very close to each other, and it took a day to deal with the affairs of the unit, and the next day, Li Xiaoli came to Yanjing, and after seeing Wu Jianye, she was naturally very excited.
She lived in Fang Shu's house, and the two parties agreed that after Zhao Fei and others came to Yanjing, they would immediately leave for Venice.
At the same time, this time there were not only Wu Jianye and others who went to Venice, but also a leader who played the studio, Zhou Qiang.
The output and input company also sent a leader, but to Wu Jianye's surprise, this leader turned out to be Sun Jiarui, who did not agree to "Hang the Red Lantern" to participate in the Venice Film Festival.
"Dean, isn't this a joke?"
Wu Jianye found Cheng Yin, and said with some dissatisfaction, Sun Jiarui himself did not agree to "Hang the Red Lantern" to participate in the Venice Film Festival, but now he sent him as the leader of the entire team.
To be honest, even if Wu Jianye is the director and screenwriter of this movie, he is not the leader of the delegation going abroad this time, but Zhou Qiang and Sun Jiarui.
Zhou Qiang is okay to say, he was sent by the studio, although everyone is not familiar with it, but they will also give Wu Jianye some faces, but this Sun Jiarui .......
"Don't be emotional, this is an organizational arrangement!" Cheng Yin was also a little helpless: "You can think like this, this is also the organization's trust in you, send out a leader of an output and import company to follow, if this film really wins awards at the Venice Film Festival, someone has to talk about the sale of copyrights!"
I have already talked about the nature of the output and import companies in China, and also talked about the relationship between the studio and China Film.
In fact, the studio is only responsible for shooting movies, as for the release, it is a matter of China Film, and it has nothing to do with the studio, and if domestic films want to be bought abroad, then it has nothing to do with the studio, and the output and import company is responsible.
Of course, the cost of selling the rights still has to be given to the studio.
In other words, even if the film won an award at the Venice Film Festival and was favored by distributors in Europe and the United States, and wanted to buy the rights to broadcast overseas, Wu Jianye was not qualified to negotiate with the other party, and could only negotiate with the export and import companies.......
Originally, Wu Jianye's idea was that he could negotiate the price with the other party first, and then let himself, the middleman, lead the two parties to get to know each other, so as to maximize the benefits of this movie, but now Sun Jiarui is following .......
Wu Jianye was a little unconvinced, he was able to talk about the psychological price of this movie, and now he can only hope that Sun Jiarui will not sell the overseas broadcast rights of this movie as a cabbage price!
With Zhao Fei and others arriving in Yanjing.
Wu Jianye formally submitted a request to Sun Jiarui and Zhou Qiang to go to Venice.
"What's the hurry? The film festival has just officially started on the 31st, and now it's only the 20th, what are we doing in the past so early, don't you know how much of an expense it is for so many people to go over?
This is Sun Jiarui's reply, and his words are full of dissatisfaction.
"Manager Sun, the Venice Film Festival is a major event in the international film industry, and at this time, the hotels on Lido Island will be full of filmmakers and distributors from all over the world, and if you go late, you may not even have a place to stay!" Wu Jianye reminded.
In another time and space, as a movie lover, he naturally participated in many international film festivals, and when he went to the first place, he had no experience, and when he arrived at the place, he found that it was already overcrowded, and the hotel had no remaining rooms at all.
Accommodation is a very big deal!
"And although the film festival officially starts on the 31st, we also have to go over in advance to discuss with the organizers about screening films during the film festival!"
Sun Jiarui sat on the sofa with a cup of tea in front of him, steaming, holding a document in his hand that he didn't know what it was, and didn't raise his head.
"This time, we mainly went to learn film technology in Europe and the United States, you are a rookie director, don't always think that your first film can win an award, that's unrealistic, you should be humble!"
Wu Jianye's heart suddenly burst into flames, but he also knew that even if he was angry with the right party, it was useless, after all, the status of the two sides was too different, if Wu Jianye really got angry with the other party, then he could only suffer himself.
"Manager Sun, in fact, we have another advantage in passing in advance, we can get to know foreign distributors in advance, after all, this movie, we are still preparing to release it abroad!"
In desperation, Wu Jianye had no choice but to sacrifice another killer feature.
Pity.......
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this matter, this is our output and input company's business, just do your part!"
.......
Wu Jianye, who left the output and input company, was naturally angry, but there was no way to do anything to Sun Jiarui.
This is domestic, not Xiangjiang, Wu Jianye gasped and reminded himself.
The capital in hand is still not enough!
This is Wu Jianye's first conclusion to himself, if he has enough right to speak, then he will not be angry with Sun Jiarui today.
After returning to the courtyard, Wu Jianye saw Wu Jianzhang, who had not shown up for a long time.
Wu Jianzhang was lying on the recliner in the courtyard, holding the red dates picked from the jujube tree in his hand, and sent them to his mouth one by one.
"Brother!"
"Why are you here?" Wu Jianye asked angrily.
"Hey, hey!" Wu Jianzhang rubbed his hands, showing an embarrassed expression.
"Who made you angry, I'll clean him up for you!"
"There's something to say, there's a fart!" Wu Jianye is in no mood to talk to him here now.
"Brother, borrow some money?" Wu Jianzhang didn't care about Wu Jianye's attitude, and said with a smile.
"Isn't your popsicle stand very good, why is you short of money?" Wu Jianye glanced at him suspiciously, this kid chose to sell popsicles at the beginning, and now it is summer, how can he be short of money!
"How much money can you make selling popsicles, a few cents a piece, selling it for a day is not enough for you to have a drink with your friends!" Wu Jianzhang said with a big grin.
It turned out that two days ago, he saw that Wu Jianye often had people here, looking at their daily wine and food in the yard, he was naturally envious in his heart, and then thought about it, he got up early every day and went out to sell popsicles, which was not enough for Wu Jianye's wine money for a day, so he naturally had other thoughts in his heart.
"Nope!"
Wu Jianye glanced at Wu Jianzhang angrily.
After several brothers came to Yanjing, Zhao Xiaoqiang and Wu Jianhu performed very well, especially Wu Jianhu, listening to Zhao Lei, Wu Jianhu could get clothes at a cheaper price on Zhao Lei's side, and he actually started a price war with those who set up stalls in Yanjing to sell clothes.
It's not that no one wants to bully him, a foreigner, but with Zhao Lei's help, nothing has happened to him, and now there are a few people in Yanjing who buy clothes.
Although Zhao Xiaoqiang does not have Wu Jianhu's ability, he is also working diligently and moving forward steadily.
There is only Wu Jianzhang, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, in these two months, there is no stall for more than a month, and now he even comes to borrow money from himself, Wu Jianye is naturally impossible to lend to him.
"Brother, don't say that, if you look at your wine money for a day, it will top me for several days, just show a little between your fingers, it's enough for me to spend!"
Wu Jianzhang said without skin and face.
"You still have something to do, go back quickly, I definitely don't have any money for you, if you don't want to make money, then go back to your hometown as soon as possible." ”
Wu Jianye naturally won't get used to Wu Jianzhang.
Wu Jianzhang saw Wu Jianye say this, and immediately lost his temper, how good it is in Yanjing, you don't have to work in the field, you can eat meat every day, what time do you want to start, what time do you want to start, no one is verbose.
In the end, I had no choice but to go back.......
.......
August 25th!
Wu Jianye and others, under the leadership of Sun Jiarui and Zhou Qiang, finally got on the plane to Venice.
Venice is a famous tourist and industrial city in northeast Italy, and is also the capital of the Veneto region.
However, since the Venice Film Festival was held on the Lido Island in Venice, after getting off the plane, everyone did not stay in Venice for too long, but directly got on the bus to Lido Island.
Lido is a small and slender island about 12 kilometers long that runs southeast of Venice. The island is internationally known as a health resort. On the beach of Lido Island, there are huts from the movie "Death in Venice" where visitors can rest. There are many beaches on the island that are privately owned, and on the east side of the island, there are also government-run beaches. There is an elegant Casino MuniciPale on the island, which is open from April to September every year. Casinos include casinos, restaurants, nightclubs, theaters, etc., catering to visitors to the island.
The most prosperous on the island is Via Santa Maria Elisabetta, which stretches from the shallow sea on the Venetian side to the Adriatic Riviera across Lido, with many hotels, shops and restaurants for tourists. There are many elegant open-air cafes on the island of Lido, which attract many tourists and become a major feature of the area. Although it is not as old as the Café Florion facing St. Mark's Square, the oldest and most famous in Venice, it still attracts many tourists.
After Wu Jianye and the others arrived on Lido Island, Fang Shu and the others were immediately attracted by the scenery of Lido Island.
At this time, Lido Island was already overcrowded, and there was no peace in the past, with elites in suits and leather shoes, and female stars from all over the world.
Now in the whole of Lido, the Venice Film Festival is the biggest festival.
"Don't look around, let foreigners see it, what kind of system!" Sun Jiarui said dissatisfiedly.
"Manager Sun, let's go find a hotel to stay in first, seeing that there are so many people here, if you go late, there will be no place!" Zhou Qiang reminded.
Sun Jiarui nodded with a full head, "Okay!"
Outcome.......
"Sorry, our hotel is full!"
