Chapter Ninety-Eight: Epilogue

The Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony is short and fast, and the awards ceremony ends at nine o'clock in the evening.

It's when the nightlife just starts.

The organizing committee held a celebration party on the beach in front of the Intercontinental Carlton Hotel, the largest star hotel in Cannes.

Unlike in China, where you sit around a table and push your glasses and change glasses, the cocktail party here is a buffet format.

The long dining table is filled with flowers, desserts and all sorts of delicacies.

Suits and leather shoes hold goblets of golden champagne or wine in their hands, and they talk to acquaintances when they meet them.

The protagonists are still the filmmakers who have just won the honor, and some of them are soft to sign in.

Chen Kaige also signed a few words, which were all intended before the award ceremony but did not sign the broadcast authorization of some small countries.

This is the purpose of Chen Kaige's visit to Cannes, he is not just for honor, but for real interests.

There is an example of how good a film festival like Cannes is.

In the winter of 1993, the film "The Wedding Banquet" directed by Li Press, who was unknown at that time, won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

It was snowing that day, and Li Press, who had just walked out of the award ceremony, stood in the snow and signed a sales contract of 20 million US dollars.

Of course, the film market for literary films today is far less than it was twenty years ago.

But your uncle is still your uncle.

Gu Jun didn't know about other movies, but he clearly knew that the movie "The World Is Worth It" sold 1.5 million euros in sales.

This is equivalent to 10 million soft girl coins.

It doesn't sound like much, because this is a sale in many small countries, Chen Kaige is a veteran director, and at a good moment in the work, he is eligible to ask for a share of the box office.

There are European distribution companies that give 11% of the box office revenue in some regions.

That's 8% higher than the average new director, but it's also lower than the 15% of the master level.

The movie "The World Is Worth It" did not invite any big names, nor did it build any exterior locations.

The only big coffee is Chen Kaige, who gets a basic salary + share.

For Lao Chen's previous works, the production cost this time is ridiculously low, only 30 million soft girl coins, plus 20 million publicity costs, a total of only 50 million.

Foreign copyrights can recover at least half of the cost, which greatly reduces the pressure on Lao Chen's box office.

According to the domestic producer's 33% share, the box office can start to make a profit as long as it exceeds 50 million.

It is already certain that the new film is destined to be profitable.

It won't be long before all this will be revealed on July 6th, the day when the movie will be released.

———————————

Gu Jun, who showed his face at the reception, secretly left.

Because he knows that he is not the protagonist today, even if it is only relative to the Chinese, the domestic stars are very proud.

For them, the only thing they can pay attention to is the director, such as Chen Kaige.

In the domestic film and television industry, the most important position is only the director, and then according to the actor's coffee position.

As for the assistant director, screenwriter, props, art, photography, and these behind-the-scenes staff are the existence that grandma doesn't love and uncle.

It's like someone asks you what the highest peak in the world is, and you know it's Everest.

Ask you which is the second highest peak, and you're stuck.

In the same way, almost everyone can name three or five directors, but the vast majority can't name the assistant director, cinematographer, or prop artist.

Not a single one.

The people at the reception were drinking, and Gu Jun was also drinking.

The difference is that he is drinking on the top floor of the hotel, and it feels really nice that no one disturbs him.

After a while, he frowned as he heard a clattering sound behind him.

It's the sound of a high heel hitting the ground.

Gu Jun is not a stupid person with high skills, after all, this is a thirty or forty meters high roof, if he encounters a pen to push himself, then he will become a real pen.

From the moment he heard the voice, he turned his head to see who it was.

It turned out to be white.

Just when Gu Jun wanted to ask, Bai Qian spoke in advance: "Huh, why are you here?"

"Eldest sister, I still want to ask you. I didn't go to sleep in the middle of the night, waiting for sudden death. ”

"Do you want to be embarrassed, it's not necessarily who is older of us, don't scream as a sister and sister, it's annoying. ”

As he spoke, Bai Qian walked in front of Gu Jun. Holding on to the one-meter-high guardrail, you can clearly see the brightly lit reception scene on the beach downstairs.

"The reception was very lively, why didn't you go? I didn't know that you were quite good, and you actually won the best screenplay. Qingguo also said that you can write songs? ”

"Don't laugh at the little ones, your old man will be an international actress from now on. The little ones should hug their thighs. ”

"Really? You can even figure it out? Which film festival is the actress, Cannes, Berlin, or Venice?"

Looking at Bai Qian, who was blindly excited, Gu Jun, who sighed for a long time, said speechlessly: "I want to peach, what kind of acting skills do I have, I don't have AC in my heart." ”

"No, Gu Jun, I just found out why you are so annoying, or are we naturally discordant with each other?"

"I'm sorry, maybe I have a bad attitude, I'll say it again. ”

Gu Jun, who was sorting out his thoughts, had a serious face: "Bai Qian, your acting skills are too earth-shattering, and the major film festivals feel that their awards are not worthy of your acting skills, and they are embarrassed to make an axe, so they don't give you awards." ”

Bai Qian, who laughed, patted Gu Jun's shoulder: "Although I know that your kid is talking nonsense in this faction, this girl is quite satisfied." Do you have any wine? Give me a drink. ”

"Nope. Gu Jun's answer was very simple, he just came up to drink, and he had no intention of entertaining guests.

picked up the only wine glass and handed it to Bai Qian: "Only this one, I use it myself, do you use it?"

"Just kidding, I'm shameless..." Bai Qian, who spoke, patted Gu Jun's wrist.

I heard a 'pop' sound, and the cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Well, the only cup is broken, now let's do it. ”

"I don't want it, I'm going to drink, you go get it." ”

"There are not many people, but there are many problems. Gu Jun, who complained, still patted his knees and got up and went downstairs.

Bai Qian, who was at the corner where Gu Jun's figure disappeared, said: "Although you have a cheap mouth, a bad person, a bad person, and a good person, you are not good, but it is still quite interesting." ”

"Yes, I'm not popular, I'm angry. Gu Jun around the corner showed his head and said a word, and ran down.

was so frightened that Bai Qian almost jumped off the roof of the building, so angry that he didn't know where to put it.

Afraid that Gu Jun would come back, she ran around the corner to confirm that she couldn't see Gu Jun's figure, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Qian, who returned to the guardrail, shouted at the sky: "Gu Jun, you bastard bastard, stupid hat plus three levels." ”
