Chapter 143: Han Sanping's Offer
Every day, there are filmmakers who contact Lin Nan.
The films in the main competition unit have always been the object of wait-and-see and bets by big studios.
The movie promotion booth was handed over to Tom, and Lin Nan began to brush the film.
Many movies are being screened, in order to attract film dealers. Lin Nan also followed and looked.
These films are purely here to sell copyrights, and they have not been shortlisted for any unit module.
In the last days of January, the "Apple" crew arrived.
Lin Nan met Leung Jiahui in the screening room of a French movie.
"Director Lin, this is the first time we have met, and I am Liang Jiahui."
"Hello, when we were pulling films at school, we watched a lot of your movies."
Lin Nan is also very honored, among the actors on Hong Kong Island, there are few people he likes, and this one in front of him is definitely one.
"What movies do film schools usually show me?"
Liang Jiahui followed Lin Nan's words and asked with great interest.
""Burning the Old Summer Palace", "Listening to the Government with a Curtain", ......"
Leung Jiahui listened slightly.
Lin Nan knew that it was because of these two movies that the other party had been banned for a long time.
"However, I prefer 'Season of Love in a Foreign Country' and 'Lover'."
Lin Nan added.
"Haha, I didn't expect Director Lin to like these two."
"Love is the most lethal to young people, especially this kind of love."
"So, do you like that 'Lover'?"
Lin Nan smiled and nodded, "It's very delicate." ”
Leung Jiahui is a very prolific actor, but no matter what the play, he can perform it well, even if it is a spoof of "East Becomes West".
Liang Jiahui thought about it and nodded, "Indeed, this film has passed for more than ten years, let alone it......"
In fact, this film was very controversial at the time, and some shots were relatively large-scale.
"Can you exchange contact information?" Lin Nan took the initiative to ask.
"Of course."
……
The two walked out of the screening hall side by side, Liang Jiahui was about to watch the next movie, and said to Lin Nan: "Director Lin, you can contact me if you have the opportunity." ”
"Of course, I'm looking forward to this day too." With that, the two separated.
Leung Jiahui is one of the leading actors in "Apple", this crew should be all here, and Fan Bingbing's character will definitely not be absent from the Berlin red carpet.
Han Sanping led the team and arrived in Berlin before the evening of the same day and stayed in a hotel not far from Lin Nan.
I just don't know the last seeded player, to no.
The next day, as Lin Nan expected, Han Sanping called him.
When he arrived, he saw Han Dong sitting on the main seat with a golden sword.
On the left hand side is the crew of "Apple", Fan Bingbing is next to Han Sanping, and the next should be Li Yu, the director of "Apple", who didn't see Liang Jiahui and Tong Dawei.
There was an empty seat on the right-hand side, followed by Wang Quanan and Yu Nan.
"Come, I'll wait for you, sit here."
"Director Lin, long time no see." Fan Bingbing greeted with a smile first.
"Long time no see. Hello everyone. ”
Lin Nan walked quickly to the position next to Han Sanping and sat down, "Mr. Han, what are you going to say today?" ”
"It's all your own people, get together, and hope that you can all get the prize back." Han Sanping smiled.
"Didn't you see Liang Yingdi?" Lin Nan asked.
"They're brushing." Fan Bingbing replied.
At this time, Han Sanping sat up straight, "You really did something big without saying a word, how will you arrange this film at that time?" ”
"Let's take a look at the results first, and then sell the copyright, this is my vote alone, and I won't lose it, I'll pack the ticket."
"What about the domestic side? Not up to the mark? ”
Lin Nan knew what Han Sanping meant by asking, and it did not meet the review requirements.
Several people around were also listening carefully.
"No problem, it's a bit anti-war."
"That's good, I'll help you see it then."
The meaning of Han Sanping's words is obvious.
Lin Nan is a little embarrassed, the registration and filing of "Buried Alive" is in Hollywood, and if you want to come back, it has to be imported or approved in the form of films.
The former is troublesome, and the latter is not easy to negotiate the price, so it is very embarrassing.
Han Sanping has already called someone to serve the food, and it is authentic Chinese food again.
The three directors sitting there were almost no exchanges.
Lin Nan chatted with Yu Nan, who is also a very good actor from Nortel.
Han Sanping didn't expect the atmosphere between the three directors to be so cold, when Gu Changwei and Lin Nan competed before, they had dinner together and talked and laughed.
"It's all your own people, let's move the chopsticks, and let go of the award ceremony first......"
Han Sanping spoke, and the scene looked better.
The meal was lifeless, and after the feast, Lin Nan was left alone.
"Mr. Han, what's the matter?"
"You make this movie, think about it, make a batch of films, and I'll ask them to sign it." Han Sanping said seemingly casually.
"Buyout?"
"You just said that you sold copyrights, why do you want to change the account to import when you come to me?"
"No, no, let's batch the film."
"If the price is pressed, let's follow the domestic box office of "Hidden in the Dust" last time."
"Mr. Han, should we wait for the award ceremony to end, or I sell the copyrights in other regions, let's refer to the price, and then talk about the price of China Film?"
Lin Nan was so frightened by Han Sanping's appetite, it was no different from giving it away for nothing, his shooting cost was more than one million dollars, and if converted, it was about 10 million, in China.
Although the domestic box office of "Hidden in the Dust" at that time was more than 10 million, it has been so long, and the two movies are completely different, this one is definitely more attractive to the audience......
Seeing that Lin Nan didn't want to agree, Han Sanping smiled, "Okay, listen to you, but don't forget, if you don't buy Zhongying, there will really be no dime, hahaha......
"This is the oppression of power."
Lin Nan was a little speechless in his heart.
"When the film festival is over, I'll talk to you about it again."
Lin Nan is either unwilling, but a little unwilling, which is the same as when he made a film for China Film in vain, without screenwriting fees and director fees.
"I'll wait for you. Yang Dong immediately retired, there are some things, and his own people have to suffer some losses......"
Han Sanping said slowly.
is about to take office, and it is not advisable to be extravagant in buying films, especially Lin Nan, who is relatively close, and cannot be pointed out to any problems.
In an instant, Lin Nan figured out this truth, the thighs have to be there, and the film is a trivial matter.
"Han Dong, just do what you say, you have to take care of me in the future." After speaking, Lin Nan left without looking back.
"Heh, this kid reacts very quickly!"
……
On February 1, "Buried Alive" officially premiered in Berlin.
In view of the name of director Lin Nan Silver Bear, there are many people who come to watch the movie.
The constant suspense, rare performances, and incredible plot ideas, the thriller is fresh and makes the audience's nerves tense......
Ryan Reynolds was immersed in the praise of the moviegoers.
Lin Nan was in the screening hall of "Apple" at this time, and he could only say that it was wonderful! Fan Bingbing is a ruthless person!
He also watched "Tuya's Marriage", this is a typical domestic award-winning film, and Lin Nan has to admit that he is likely to lose to it.
The story of a woman who brings her disabled husband to marry together is more touching than the story of "Buried Alive".
The technique and lens are very good, and the key is that the panoramic lens makes people feel comfortable......
"Made, rival!"
When Lin Nan is observing his opponent, he is also being observed by his opponent.
"How about Director Wang, this foreign language film of his?"
"I want to ask this young man how he came up with this kind of script, in a small coffin, he made a one-and-a-half-hour movie, and it was very good, but until the end, I can't say anything, let's go to see other shortlisted films......"
Li Yu looked at Liang Jiahui with a solemn face, "Liang Sheng thinks which of the two films is better?" ”
"If you talk about novelty, conception and breakthrough, Director Lin's "Buried Alive" has undoubtedly achieved the extreme, it is simply refreshing, it turns out that the movie can still be played like this."
"So you're just watching this movie?"
"It's hard to say, Director Wang's movie expresses the tragic fate more directly, and the subject matter is more dominant......"
Leung Jiahui didn't say a word, among the three movies, perhaps "Apple" is the weakest, not about acting, but about the script.
More than 20 films in the main competition unit are being screened.
The plot of "Buried Alive" is eye-catching, what kind of director can make such a brain-opening movie.
The male protagonist is always facing the threat of death, but he has no ability to break through the ground, so he can only passively wait for rescue.
All the emotions are played out in the coffin, anti-war, but with a sense of horror.
"Lin, our film has received a lot of attention, and the film company is more urgent, and they want to talk to you about the price."
"No, wait until the award ceremony is over, even if you don't win the award, it won't be lower than now, right?"
"Like, that's right."
Tom patted his head, these studios almost fooled him, the film is not another commodity, it will not be lower than the current price just because it did not win the award, on the contrary, in any case, after the closing ceremony, the price will only be high and not low, because this is Berlin, and fans all over the world are paying attention.
With the opening of the festival, Berlin has become more crowded, not only filmmakers and stars, but also journalists from all over the world.
There are also a lot of domestic reporters, and the central media are here, if you really want to count, there are two and a half works in China to participate in the competition, and it is three if rounded up.
That half is Lin Nan, who asked him to bring an English film.
The red carpet of the opening ceremony was full of beauty, and Lin Nan saw Fan Bingbing turn around three times on it, and his face could stiffen with a smile.
But the Avenue of Fame at the closing ceremony is the highlight, especially the crew who were invited to the closing ceremony.
The next ten days are the time for the jury to read the film, and it is also a tense and exciting waiting time.
Ryan Reynolds muttered lines like God in his mouth, and Lin Nan was a little speechless when he heard it, God can't control this.
Han Sanping did not disclose to the domestic media that he bought out "Buried Alive" according to the batch film model.
Lin Nan estimated that he would announce it to the public after returning to China after the closing ceremony, and he had a hunch that the price of "Buried Alive" should be the film that Han Sanping spent the least on this trip to Berlin.
"The price of 10 million is a bit big, but this investment is definitely worth it."
Lin Nan muttered to himself in his heart.
