Chapter 35 Award Ceremony and Copyright

More than ten meters apart, Gu Changwei and Lin Nan nodded.

Zhang Jingchu seemed to have completely forgotten what she said about belittling "Hidden in the Dust" in front of the media, and took the initiative to come up and shake hands with Lin Nan.

Jiang Wenli was still taking pictures from a distance, and she didn't come here, otherwise Ms. Zhang would not have blatantly come to talk to Lin Nan.

After a perfunctory sentence, Ms. Zhang saw that she was not entertained, so she returned to the crew of "Peacock".

The red carpet continued, and Lin Nan was informed that it was about to be the turn of the crew of "Hidden in the Dust".

Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli arrived at the exit with Lin Nan, and the crew in front of them was the German film "Hope and Resistance".

The red carpet host began to introduce, "The next step on the red carpet is the crew "Hidden in the Dust" from Huaxia, which is directed by NanLin, and the male lead actor Bao TianLi, and the female lead WenLiJiang.

It was the first time they had come to Berlin, which reminded us of YiMouZhang, who had won the Golden Bear for the first time in Berlin......"

Lin Nan tried hard to keep smiling, and outside the red carpet, the cameras of various media flashed wildly, even a little dazzling.

Lin Nan saw the six princesses sharply, as well as the people from Sohu, smiling and waving at the camera over there.

Women are natural masters on the red carpet, unlike Lin Nan and Li Baotian, Jiang Wenli looks down-to-earth and generous, and her every move is so calm.

Two and a half minutes is the time left on the red carpet for "Hidden in the Dust", and the host also briefly interviewed Lin Nan.

As I continued to walk forward, I heard the host begin to introduce the crew of "Peacock......

The staircase venue, which can accommodate thousands of people, slowly began to fill up.

The crew of "Hidden in the Dust" is located in the middle and back position, the crew from France on the left, the German crew on the right, and the crew of "Peacock" is in the row in front of Lin Nan and others.

Gu Changwei could chat with Lin Nan when he turned his head, but he would never do this, because Lin Nan was Jiang Wenli next to him, and Zhang Jingchu was next to him.

Lin Nan could feel the atmosphere of slaughter, and then looked at Li Baotian, the old god was squinting and resting on the ground.

It was getting dark outside, but the lights were brilliant. In the venue, the supporters announced that the closing ceremony of the 55th Berlin International Film Festival officially began.

The most exciting moment is coming.

All the guests were staring at the big screen on the podium

First of all, the two awards of the non-competition unit and the youth forum module were won by domestic directors.

In the Panorama category, the best film and short film were awarded to two films from France and Switzerland, respectively.

In turn, there are children's units and film critic awards in each unit.

With the appearance of the chairman of the jury, everyone finally waited for the highlight of the night.

"It is a great pleasure to gather with filmmakers from all over the world at the Berlinale and to contribute to the development of cinema.

Over the past few months, we've selected a number of great films from around the world, and after 10 days of voting, we will be ready to meet you tonight. ”

From this moment on, Lin Nan began to hold his breath, because the name of "Hidden in the Dust" might appear at any time.

The first award was the Best European Film Award, an award reserved for the local community, which was won by a Dutch director.

The second award for Best Film Music was won by a French director.

When it was Alfred Bauer's turn to win the Silver Bear Award, everyone began to feel a little anxious, and in '03, "Hero" won this award.

The winner was "A Cloud on the Edge of the Sky".

At this point, Lin Nan was completely excited, because the later awards were all big prizes for him.

Li Baotian's squinted eyes shone brightly, who said that the old-timers could see it.

"The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actress is: Julia Jeench for "Hope and Resistance", congratulations."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Wenli's tense body suddenly relaxed.

"Sister Wen Li, it's okay, let's come back next time." Lin Nan comforted.

"I'm already very satisfied with being able to get here." Jiang Wenli comforted herself.

Gu Changwei turned his head and glanced at his wife, "Director Xiaolin is right, let's come back next time." In exchange, Jiang Wenli's cold eyes were silent.

Zhang Jingchu in front was also a little lost, maybe she took it for granted at the beginning.

The best actress received the award, and after giving a speech, the members of the jury continued to present the award.

Several films flashed, among them "Hidden in the Dust", "The winner of the Silver Bear for Best Actor was, Lou Taylor Pucci's "The Thumb Sucker", congratulations. ”

Li Baotian breathed a long sigh of relief, "Alas, it's me who is impetuous, and I still have to practice Qi Cultivation Kung Fu." ”

"Mr. Li is serious, your strength has been seen by the audience for so many years." Lin Nan said very seriously.

"Haha, let's keep looking, we can probably make a big one." Li Baotian understands the award process, and Lin Nan was a little embarrassed to be said.

Gu Changwei was also staring at the podium nervously, the actor was making a speech, and there were three more important awards.

Best Director for an individual, as well as the Golden Bear and the Grand Jury Prize for the film as a whole.

"The winner of the Silver Bear Award for Best Director is: NanLin's "Hidden in the Dust", congratulations."

As if thunder hit the Heavenly Spirit, Lin Nan was a little stunned at this moment, as if everything was unreal.

Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli were the first to applaud, and everyone in the distance also stood up and looked at Lin Nan, congratulating with a happy face.

Gu Changwei turned his head to congratulate. Lin Nan stood up, hugged Jiang Wenli and Li Baotian, and then walked out of his seat and walked to the podium.

The members of the jury are also introducing Lin Nan and the film, "The vast sandstorm-like film shows poetry and strength, shines brightly, and is full of extraordinary restraint and compassion......"

Lin Nan walked on the podium and took the Silver Bear Trophy with both hands, this is the first important trophy belonging to Lin Nan, and the best newcomer of the Golden Horse is not counted.

"Thank you." Lin Nan thanked.

The presenter took a step back and gave up the podium to Lin Nan.

Facing the thousands of people in the venue, Lin Nan was a little nervous, but he puffed up his breath and said in broken English, "I'm Lin Nan, from Huaxia." I came once before last as a rookie actor.

This is the first time I have brought my own work to the competition, and I am very honored to be loved and affirmed by the jury, and I will continue to work hard.

Here I would also like to thank Mr. Li Baotian and Mr. Jiang Wenli for their support to me, they are the male and female protagonists of my films. I would like to thank my school, the Film School, for nurturing and teaching me. Thank you again for the recognition of me at the Berlinale, thank you. ”

The applause rang out like thunder, and Lin Nan returned to his seat as if stepping on cotton.

Holding the Silver Bear Trophy, Lin Nan was very satisfied.

The Grand Jury Prize, which is the only Golden Bear, has already begun to be announced.

"The winner of the Silver Bear Award, the Grand Jury Award, is: ChangWeiGu "Peacock", congratulations."

Gu Changwei, who couldn't hold back for a long time, stood up suddenly, although he was not a golden bear, he was already very satisfied, this was his first time directing, and there was still a chance in the future.

Lin Nan sent congratulations, and in the applause of everyone, Gu Changwei walked onto the podium.

In his acceptance speech, he had a love for the film industry, as well as gratitude to his relatives and friends, and finally mentioned that his wife was the heroine of "Hidden in the Dust", which made Lin Nan call him a master.

The Golden Lion for Best Film was won by South African director "Carmen of Khayalisha", and the festival ended completely.

At this moment in China, it is already three o'clock in the morning, and good multimedia practitioners are forced to get up and work overtime.

The first-hand news from the Berlin Film Festival began to grab the headlines of major news pages.

And Lin Nan was ready to meet with a group of filmmakers the next day.

When Lin Nan fell asleep, the domestic morning news began to report the awards of "Peacock" and "Hidden in the Dust" in Berlin.

Li Baotian and Jiang Wenli both left Berlin on the 21st, and Lin Nan was specially sent to the airport to thank the two for this trip to Berlin.

Seeing the two of them and the assistant boarding, Lin Nan returned to the hotel, and made appointments with many filmmakers today.

He used to have a question, why those directors of the older generation still make a film and still make it tirelessly, and finally know the reason.

Others are just going to the film festival, as long as they can win the award, the copyright can be sold at least several times the cost, and there is less publicity and distribution costs and theater shares, net profit, and I don't care if the domestic box office can return to the cost.

Mr. Han specially asked Lin Nan if he needed help, regarding the purchase and sale of film copyrights, China Film is a professional, and they must also hurry up to determine the introduction of some films in the past two days.

Lin Nan happily accepted, and met with several well-known filmmakers with China Film at ten o'clock in the morning.

European filmmakers are still the highest bidders.

Lin Nan made up his mind from the beginning, the copyright was sold out, and the follow-up matters were not mixed by himself.

Several film companies divided the rights equally in areas other than the mainland, and the price in Europe accounted for half, from more than 2 million to 4 million, because of a silver bear trophy.

After a day of negotiations, buyers were identified in all regions except the Mainland, with a total price of US$8.3 million.

Two years ago, "Blind Well" won the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear, and it only sold for more than three million dollars, and sure enough, the awards were also high.

Lin Nan believes that "Peacock" will never sell less, but it is not as good as "Hidden in the Dust" All the copyrights belong to Lin Nan.

That night, Lin Nante visited Han Sanping and thanked China Film for its help.

"I should have invested in this movie at the beginning, but it's really enviable." Han Sanping did not hide the heat in his eyes at all.

invested less than 400,000 US dollars, sold for 8.3 million, a net profit of more than 20 times, and a best director trophy.

"Mr. Han laughed, no one dared to think that it could help me win the best director, and I also expected to win an encouragement award."

Lin Nan said with a smile that he did have a try-only mentality when he invested alone, but he won the bet.

"Let's start when we go back to the release permit, you won the award, and it will also help with this matter. Have you heard of the box office of "Peacock"? ”

Lin Nan nodded, he read the news, the box office of "Peacock" in China can be described as bleak, it was released on the 18th, and the box office on the first day was less than 500,000, and the second and third days were about the same.

Even if the film is sent back and wins the Grand Jury Award, it will not save the box office, at most it will become seven or eight hundred thousand per day, but the domestic box office is no longer important.

The copyright of "Peacock" has been negotiated, and its cost is only three times that of "Hidden in the Dust", and it is no problem to make five or six times more money by selling copyrights.

Mr. Han means to let Lin Nan learn the lessons of "Peacock", at least the domestic box office should not be so crotch-pulling, but a movie with a cost of three million, even if it is limited by the subject matter, as long as it can be released, it should not be a loss.
