Chapter 64: Clichés and Truth

Zhang Yao and Xia Yaohan are not a couple, but from a certain point of view, the relationship is closer than that of a couple, and it is a relationship between iron buddies and iron buddies, which is simply incomprehensible to outsiders. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yao has never thought anything wrong about Xia Yaohan, and he has always regarded her as a buddy and never treated her as a woman, he thought that everything was logical, but after the two slept in the same bed, he was still not calm.

On the other hand, Xia Yaohan didn't care at all, she slept peacefully and put one foot on him, so the two of them shared the bed and pillowed in this kind of contradiction.

The Sundance Film Festival will be held for a total of 11 days, but most of this has nothing to do with Zhang Yao and them, and it is only related to the official opening, when his new film is broadcast.

Although it was personally invited by Martin Lao, Zhang Yao also learned from him that in fact, with "Buried Alive" and "The Night the Comet Comed", he has a certain popularity in the independent film circle, but his new film has not been specially arranged, neither the opening ceremony film nor the closing ceremony film.

Although the Sundance Film Festival is an independent film award, it is not a carnival for independent filmmakers, on the contrary, it is also a talent pool for large companies, and many companies will use the festival to find the right director.

Many independent film directors also use the film festival as a springboard, and they can make commercial blockbusters after gaining the favor of large companies.

The Sundance Film Festival has a history of more than 30 years now, but no domestic film has ever won an award.

When the two sides got in touch, Zhang Yao, Xia Yaohan and Lao Martin were watching the participating movies, which was still boring for Xia Yaohan, because the participating films from all over the world were all English letters, and she couldn't understand them at all.

It's normal to be interviewed at the film festival, and you may have to deal with a lot of reporters every day, not to mention that you have come all the way from China, so Zhang Yao is also very cooperative and knows everything.

Obviously, these media reporters know more than Zhang Yao, and they already recognized Old Martin at first sight, and it was very surprising to see Zhang Yao so close to Old Martin.

In the Internet era, information transmission is extremely convenient, and after the interview in the afternoon, the reporter sent the report back to China, and then quickly published it, just as it was morning.

"Because the new film has just been completed, I actually didn't think about participating in this Sundance Film Festival, and the reason why I came was not premeditated as the outside world said, but I received an invitation from Mr. Berry."

Under the reporter's interrogation, Zhang Yaoqian explained the cause and effect clearly, and Lao Martin was on the side, after the news was published in China, it was indeed just like what Xia Yaohan said, but it was boiling for a while.

Zhang Yao's fans all felt angry, especially after the domestic media reported that the new film was released and received a warm response.

In addition to participating in the film festival itself, there are many things worth interviewing, such as the broadcast of the film, how the copyright is sold, etc., so domestic reporters follow him almost every day, and when it has nothing to do with the film festival, they will go to interview other things by the way.

Any film festival is an opportunity to sell rights, and the Sundance Film Festival also brings together studios from all over the world, and the organizers also provide special booths for the participating films, and the studios will come directly to negotiate if they are interested after the film is broadcast.

"Overwhelming response? Every time a domestic reporter encounters such a situation, he says that it is good or not, and who knows if it is true. "There are still people on the domestic Internet who are singing the opposite.

"It was said that the audience gave a standing ovation after the movie ended, is this still false?"

"There's no picture, there's no truth, it's just talking, who saw it? I have the ability to send pictures to prove it. ”

"Idiot, can you bring your camera in and take pictures when you watch a movie? What's more, this is still a film festival. ”

"Don't pay attention to these people, it's just selective blindness, otherwise it's not easy to prove, Zhang Yao's new film has sold the rights of six countries so far, isn't that enough?"

On the first day after the broadcast, Zhang Yao sold the copyrights of six countries: the United States, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, and Spain, and the copyright fee has increased to a certain extent compared with "The Night the Comet Commet".

Among these film companies, there are also a few who have cooperated with Starlight Media to buy his copyright, although they have not been in contact with it before, they are also regular customers, and it is very harmonious to cooperate again.

I was depressed for several days because of the language barrier, but now Xia Yaohan finally became happy, and said beautifully: "Yes, yes, I don't have to go through the hands of Starlight Media again, that's 10% of the distribution fee, tens of millions." ”

"It's only the first day, and you're happy." Zhang Yao is as calm as ever.

Xia Yaohan said: "Actually, I think it has reached this point, should I fight for it, it seems to be too much of a loss to sell it directly, or it is best to participate in the share, no matter what, it will be higher than these two or three million copyright fees, right?" ”

"This mainly depends on the box office, of course, it is more cost-effective to share the account if the box office is good, seeing that these filmmakers are so enthusiastic, it is estimated that they have made a lot of money in the previous two movies, it seems that it is really time to fight for it."

"Who's going to be in the business of losing money." Xia Yaohan shrugged.

Zhang Yao said: "It's still a little lacking in confidence now, and it's a little too late, let's talk about the next movie, if we can win the award this time, we will have more bargaining chips." ”

As long as you can win awards at film festivals, you can sell the copyright more or less, and the results of selling the copyright of six countries before Zhang Yao's awards have been moved out are already very eye-catching, after all, Chinese films are not mainstream in the world.

This shows that the movie is good enough, so it is favored, and there should be a relatively high chance of winning the award, even Martin Lao, who is a member of the jury, said.

These things were reported back to China by reporters, and those who were optimistic about Zhang Yao were very happy about it, and those who didn't like him continued to disagree, and even Cao Falcon's gang jumped out again, because they have been ridiculed for this matter in the past few days.

"If Zhang Yao can win awards, it means that the Sundance Film Festival is like that." A famous actor said so.

When he said this, he didn't think about Zhang Yao's new film at all, he hadn't seen it at all, and he was not qualified to comment at all. Zhang Yao and Xia Yaohan are not a couple, but from a certain point of view, the relationship is closer than that of a couple, and it is a relationship between iron buddies and iron buddies, which is simply incomprehensible to outsiders.
