Chapter 470
Hearing the two old ladies on the stage pop out their names together, Ning Hao was stunned, his mind was a mess, he didn't know what he should do next, he just sat on the chair in a daze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Everyone has expectations for awards, and Ning Hao is naturally no exception, don't look at his indifference all day long, he keeps saying that he doesn't have that luxury at all, but in fact, no one can think about it at all.
Ning Hao is a layman, he has not cultivated to the point where he can fly on the spot with a meditation, let alone beyond the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, he is a layman, and he has fame and fortune.
Yesterday, I received an invitation letter from the organizing committee, and when I learned that "Incense" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, Ning Hao also secretly prepared an acceptance speech, even if he knew that the chance of using it was not large, but he also prepared carefully.
originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could win a small trophy, but who knew that the jury of the Berlin Film Festival actually gave him such a big surprise.
Grand Jury Prize, Silver Bear!
This is already the second award in the main competition unit after the Golden Bear.
Really won the prize?
Ning Hao still couldn't believe it, even if the people around him were applauding him and had a kind smile on his face, he couldn't believe that all this was true.
Just with the fact that he, a student who has not yet stepped out of school, has come up with a script that has not even invested 500,000 yuan, he can actually win the Silver Bear Award, right!?
"Hey, what are you doing!
Song Zheng stabbed Ning Hao, although he was also very shocked, but he also had experience, and he recovered earlier than Ning Hao, seeing that Ning Hao still had a stupid expression, he quickly reminded him.
Ning Hao came back to his senses and subconsciously responded: "Oh! good!"
Saying that, Ning Hao got up and walked towards the stage with an expressionless face, Song Zheng watched from the seat, his heart was very sober, this guy has not been disgraced to go home after all, if he goes on stage with the same hands and feet, then it will be a lot of fun.
Su Wenwen also came to the stage as a translator, and the little girl seemed to be much more atmospheric, after all, she had seen the big market, not as timid as Ning Hao.
From the hands of the two old ladies, he took the trophy, Ning Hao looked at it for a while, and then remembered that it was time to give an acceptance speech, but standing in front of the microphone, he prepared it last night, and now he can't even remember a word.
Su Wenwen stood aside and was in a hurry, Ning Hao didn't speak, she couldn't translate indiscriminately, she could only give Ning Hao a look, but Ning Hao's head was vacuumed at this moment, and he didn't notice it at all.
Su Wenwen was anxious, coughed lightly, Ning Hao heard the sound, and then the six gods returned to their positions, looked at the bottom of the stands, and then looked at the silver bear trophy in his hand, and his heart was agitated.
"I~~~ am excited!"
After Ning Hao finished speaking, he smiled honestly, and the audience also laughed kindly, and the young director gave the most sincere applause.
Ning Hao took a deep breath and continued: " Thank you to the jury, thank you Berlin, this is the biggest compliment for me, I am really excited, before coming to Berlin, my friend, Mr. Song Zheng, the investor of this film, once said to me, my film is great, it will be welcomed, this, I am very skeptical, because this movie, the reason why I made it, is just to give myself an explanation, this script, I have been preparing for a long time, but, because of lack of funds, I have never been able to turn the script into a shot, fortunately I met Mr. Song Zheng, he gave me the greatest help, and has always believed in me, supported me, here, I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Song Zheng!”
Ning Hao said, raised the little silver bear and gestured to Song Zheng in the audience, Song Zheng also smiled and applauded, this guy is finally not ungrateful.
"I also want to thank my crew members, thank each and every one of them for accompanying me to work hard in that small county town full of loess for four months, thank my girlfriend, thank you for accommodating me and always encouraging me, thank you to all the audiences who like this movie, you can go into the cinema, it is the greatest support for a young director, I don't seem to say anything else, Berlin in 2003, magical time, magical place, thank you all for giving me this magical gift, thank you!"
After Ning Hao finished speaking, he bowed and stepped off the stage, and when he returned to his seat, he could still feel his heart pounding, and his hands and feet were numb.
Song Zheng smiled and snatched the Silver Bear Award from Ning Hao's hand, held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, fantasizing about when he would be able to win such a trophy.
"Brother Hao! Okay! It's not bad! See, the acceptance speech shocked those foreigners!"
Ning Hao looked very serious at this moment, his face was expressionless, his lips trembled and said: "! It was all prepared yesterday, and I forgot everything at the beginning just now, and I remembered it again when I was talking." ”
When Song Zheng heard this, he almost burst out laughing.
Zhang Yimou, who was sitting not far away, was also looking at them at this time, looking calm and light, but to say that he was not envious at all, it was obviously impossible, after making movies for so many years, he had won a lot of township enterprise awards, but at film festivals like the three major European ones, he had not touched any other awards except for today's Alfred Bauer Award.
Unexpectedly, Ning Hao, a newcomer who only made two movies as a small character, actually came up as a latecomer and won the jury prize in one fell swoop.
The movie "Incense", Zhang Yimou watched it on the first day he came to Berlin, in the eyes of his director, Ning Hao's film is not good in the handling of many details, but the control of the camera makes his eyes bright, and then there is the actor's performance, simple, which is more simple than the movie "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" he made at the beginning, or down-to-earth.
Zhang Yimou can have a hunch that Ning Hao is going to be popular, of course, what makes Ning Hao popular is not a jury award, but Ning Hao's directing style.
If a director can only shoot the main theme, the director can't be popular, or even live, even if the director is in a foreign film festival, no matter how many trophies he gets, it's useless.
But Ning Hao is different, he can win awards, and he can also make a good and called movie, which is commendable, he hasn't seen "Nightclub", but he heard that the fire is a mess, and in China's mainland box office in the first half of the year, this movie topped the list.
If you can afford to play art, you can also play business!
Such a director is rare in China!
You must know that Zhang Yimou chose to transform and move closer to commercial blockbusters, and he was awkward for a while, and the things he shot were completely different.
But Ning Hao seems to be familiar with it!
At the end of the awards ceremony, the final Golden Bear Award was won by an Iranian film, and after careful calculation, it was found that the Berlin Film Festival was also balancing, Asia, Europe, Hollywood, the three divided the world equally, no one was offended, and everyone was happy.
After the awards, it was a celebration reception prepared by the organizing committee, Song Zheng took Ning Hao and Su Wenwen to make a collective appearance, Zhang Yimou did not appear, the purpose of his coming here was actually to promote, and at the same time to find the distribution agent of "Hero" in Europe.
With Zhang Yimou's popularity, coupled with the super high box office of "Hero" in China, it is not difficult to sell it at a good price, and Zhang Yimou naturally has no heart to grind his teeth with the representatives of those small distribution agencies.
Song Zheng is different, although "Incense" made a big splash at the awards ceremony just now, but after all, his studio is not famous, Ning Hao is a rookie director, and the film "Incense" is a purely realistic theme, even if it is placed in Europe, which pays attention to the art of playing, I am afraid it will not be too popular.
If you want to sell the film, you have to sell it.
When "Incense" was screened, several people from the agency also approached him and said that the reason was to introduce this film, but the price given was not high.
Since Song Zheng tried his best to find a relationship and sent this film to the Berlin Film Festival for exhibition, the purpose was definitely not to save the capital, making money was the first priority.
Not to mention Song Zheng's vulgar ideas, the starting point of making movies is to make money, followed by enriching people's spiritual and cultural life.
Now that Xianghuo has won the grand prize, and it is also the jury award, the value is naturally different, and the people in those agency companies have also become extremely enthusiastic, Song Zheng chatted a few words, and handed over the specific work to Su Wenwen.
This girl has always complained that she is doing the work of a secretary, and her talents are nowhere to be displayed, just right, there is such an opportunity, Song Zheng is also happy to be a big shopkeeper, let Su Wenwen toss alone!
After the award ceremony, Ning Hao returned to China ahead of schedule, and he was still busy tinkering with the script of "Crazy Stone", Song Zheng and Su Wenwen waited for two days, and finally selected a small French company as the distribution agent of "Incense" in Europe.
However, the price of the other party is high, two million euros, if converted into RMB, there are more than 10 million, and the investment in the entire film of "Incense" is less than 500,000 yuan, it can be said that this vote, 1+1 Studio has made a profit.
Nearly forty times the profit, enough for the domestic film production companies to be red for a while.
This trip to Berlin, the small team of 1+1 Studio, can be said to be full of returns.
After flying in the sky for more than ten hours, Song Zheng finally returned to Yanjing, and as soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters who rushed to hear the news.
The news that "Incense" won the Grand Jury Prize in Berlin had already spread back to China, and the reporter immediately moved when he heard the news, but it was a pity that Ning Hao was in retreat and practiced, holding back his script, and the reporter couldn't find anyone at all.
finally broke out of the encirclement and got in the car, Ren Tong told him another good news.
"My Leader, My Group" will be broadcast on CCTV today, so stay tuned!
