Chapter 39: Winning the Prize

Every year, there are a lot of blockbusters introduced, but there are only a dozen of them that really sell well, looking at this year's blockbuster introduction form, Tang Ningyu and Zhang Junsheng chose "The Queen Wears Prado", "Juno", "Life Remote Control", "This Man is from Earth" and several other works, with a package price of 800,000 US dollars...

Breaking 100 million is unlikely, but making money is for sure!

Before the release of "The Woman Wears Prado", a wave of Aunt Mei was blown...

Now Aunt Mei is already a half-step legend, blowing a wave, with the ass of a group of Chinese filmmakers, there will be a person on the cliff to help blow...

It is not a problem to brush down 20 million, and the profit can be guaranteed!

By the way, he also won the sales rights of several B-grade films in China, such as the first four parts of "Terror Planet" and "Chainsaw"...

You can sell it online!

When the time comes, let Taobao open a Yuehua movie DVD area...

……

Berlin is a city like the Germans, not as good as Milan, Paris, Tokyo, New York and other international cities, they have their own flamboyance, Berlin is very low-key.

The Berlinale is the same, it seems to have the lowest status among the three major European film festivals, but it has always maintained its stubbornness.

In fact, the tastes of the three major film festivals are different, Berlin has always preferred political films, Venice favors art films that ordinary people can't understand, Cannes is more inclusive, and the combination of business and art is very good!

At the beginning of the new century, Berlin completely took the route of niche artistic films, and had a preference for Chinese films, creating many famous directors and actresses, such as Lao Jia, Wang Xiaoshuai, Li An, Diao Yinan, Liao Fan, Yu Nan and so on.

Lao Mouzi is the whole world from Berlin!

But Berlin's attitude of completely abandoning Hollywood and making it clear that it doesn't play with you has also made this old film festival less and less visible and commercial, and its influence is much less than before.

To put it mildly, the number of journalists who go to the Berlin Film Festival every year is just over 3,000, while Cannes is as many as 20,000!

Berlin is a bit out of step with the times.

The opening ceremony was brief, followed by 10 days of free screenings for journalists, spectators and filmmakers.

The closing ceremony will be held on February 18th.

Usually the organizer will greet some crew members in advance and hand out invitations, which means that you have a good chance of winning the award.

If you are not retained, it means that you have no play, and it is better to leave early!

So, the crew of "Apple" rolled up and left...

The rumors of domestic propaganda and the coronation of Fat Ice finally turned out to be just rumors.

So our big power is really just learning from the seniors!

Of course, she is not as good as Fat Bing, Fat Bing touched porcelain at Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, and Da Mi Mi can only make do with the Golden Horse Awards...

There is a high probability that Chinese films will win gold in Berlin, Lao Mouzi's "Red Sorghum", Xie Fei's "Fragrant Soul Girl", and Li An's "The Wedding Banquet" all won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film.

The media predicts that this year's "Tuya's Marriage" has a high probability of winning the award!

"With all the elements that Red Sorghum once conquered Berlin——— the countryside, the rural woman and her husband..."

Looking at the sixth generation of directors, the position of the ex-husband of 30 billion is really wonderful, he has few works, but there are many awards, and there are constant turmoil.

"Lunar Eclipse", "Sting", "Tuya's Marriage", "Reunion", "White Deer Plain"...

Except for "White Deer Plain", the reputation of several other films is not bad.

"Eclipse" is very amazing, but after all, it is an independent film, and it is the first batch of independent films in China, the movie itself is more in-depth than the same period, but the attention it has received is too low, and the later films are not impressive, and it does not have much impact...

To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the prostitution incident, few people would know about this director at all!

Even though he won the Golden Bear...

……

At the end of the closing ceremony, a group of people came to the hall where the award ceremony was held.

"Junsheng, do you think we want to invest in a few literary films?"

“… Yes, but it has to be reviewed to make sure it can be released!"

Investing in literary films, the investor didn't plan to make money from the beginning.

Generally, if the cost is low and the quality is good, the investment is to win the prize. If you get the prize, you can naturally sell it, and if you give hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can make money. Even if you don't get the award, the investor has nothing to lose, and you can still have a good reputation for supporting newcomers.

Zhang Junsheng doesn't mind that Yuehua has a movie loss in the early stage, but he resolutely can't go against the General Bureau, and underground movies can't be made!

"I get that. ”

Tang Ningyu nodded.

In fact, in recent years, there have been many movies with good quality, such as "Tengu", "Glorious Fury", "See You in Heaven", and "Piano of Steel" are all works of good quality and are fully eligible to win awards!

The host came to the stage and briefly said a few opening remarks, and then the jury appeared, and the chairman of the jury this year was Paul Scherder, a very serious old man.

His masterpiece is the screenwriter of "Taxi Driver"...

Not much to say, to the effect that 'the Berlinale is great, thank you all for being like this...'

The film festival is not like the Oscars and Golden Globes, it is simple and neat, and in three minutes, the opening remarks are over, and the awards begin!

The Berlinale is really worthy of German cinema and has carried numerous categories: the Crystal Bear Award, the German Children's Fund - Special Prize, the FIPRESCI Award, the Catholic Humanitarian Award...

"The Tuner" was shortlisted in the short film category of the main competition unit, and was also shortlisted for the Crystal Bear Award...

Hell knows how this thing is classified.

He also said that our film festival is good at dividing pork, and foreigners are not worse than us!

In the new century, the information development of the mainland entertainment industry has begun to take off, and although the gossip news is not as heartbroken as that of later generations, there is no shortage of reports!

But the promotion of "Apple" is in full swing, and there is not even a consolation prize!

Naturally, the media lost interest, as for "Tuya's Marriage", I'm sorry, Lao Wang's sense of existence is pitiful...

Just when many domestic media were about to say goodbye, someone noticed that Zhang Junsheng's short film "Tuner" was in the final list of winners!

Although it is only a short film, not a movie, his director is Zhang Junsheng.

You have to stay to get first-hand information, and it's best to have an interview!

Zhang Junsheng was stunned throughout the whole process, to be honest, he didn't know any of these directors and filmmakers, including Julio Chavez, who won the best actor...

I'm sorry, he is blind and thinks foreigners look alike.

The award ceremony was lengthy, and a bunch of inexplicable awards were awarded, not to mention Zhang Junsheng, even the reporters in the audience felt a little incredible...

Is it so obvious to divide the cake?

Until a buddy on the stage reads: "The following is the latest award of the Berlin Film Festival, the Crystal Bear Award..."

After a lot of chatter, he finally opened the envelope and said, "Alright, let's see the first winner..."

“《Décroche》”

“… And The Piano Tuner"

Hearing that the first name was not his own work, Zhang Junsheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect it to be a double yolk egg.

The Piano Tuner is The Tuner.

"Hurry up and speak!"

Lu Yawen watched with a little envy as Zhang Junsheng sorted out his clothes and took the stage...
