Chapter 325 Copyright Transactions

The awards dinner was over, and it was almost eleven o'clock at night.

A lot of news about the festival spread from Cannes to the rest of the world.

When Lin Nan was immersed in sleep, the sky in China had just dawned.

Today's headlines in the film and television industry are all news of the Cannes awards ceremony.

Countless filmmakers in the industry looked sideways and were dumbfounded!

"Liu Yifei's mother, won the Cannes International Film Festival and Best Supporting Actress Award for "The Fault in the Stars"!"

This news made countless actresses feel surprised, aggrieved, and unacceptable.

A cross-trip that won an award at an international film festival? trampled a large number of domestic actresses under their feet!

Not to mention others, the guest actors of "Star Fortune" are more surprised than the other.

Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo, Jiang Yiyan, Luo Jin......

These people never thought that Liu Xiaoli would win the award and be the best supporting actress in Cannes!

This level of film awards is too high-end and too distant for many actors in the circle......

Immediately afterwards, everyone posted on Weibo to celebrate.

After all, everyone is a member of "Star Fortune", and there is an honor!

If Liu Xiaoli won the award, it was a little unexpected and unexpected.

The jury award of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei completely shocked the entire film industry.

Why?

Because most people in the circle thought that it would be very good for Lin Nan to win the third-class individual award for this movie, after all, it was the Cannes Film Festival!

Since the pre-millennium to the present, for so many years, Chinese films have won very little in Cannes.

As the highest award, the Palme d'Or, so far, only Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" has been won.

The Grand Jury Prize, which is second only to the Palme d'Or, has only been won by two people......

No, after today, there is one more.

"Since Zhang Yimou directed "Alive" and Jiang Wen directed "The Devil is Coming", the third director and film in China to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival was born."

"That is, Director Lin Nan and "The Fault in the Stars"!"

That's right, Lin Nan became the third director in China to win this award.

Since then, Liu Yifei has also been the producer of films that have won the Cannes Jury Prize!

…………

It's still late at night and early in the morning in Cannes, and the domestic entertainment industry is already extremely lively.

"Although I haven't seen "Star Luck" yet, I believe in Lin Nan's strength, and the jury award is well deserved, just like I did at the beginning! Haha......"

When Jiang Wen was interviewed, he didn't know how to be modest at all, and he didn't forget to boast at the same time.

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin of the TV drama crew, Yang Mi of the crew of "Hongmen Banquet", Zhao Liying of the crew of "The Four Famous Catches", and Reba, who is still in the play, several artists from Shanhai Media are very excited.

Because the stronger Lin Nan's boss, the easier their path will be......

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others were also busy accepting telephone interviews with the media.

"It's a pity, just a little bit. But it's already very good, this is only the first time, Lin Nan is still young, and there are still many opportunities in the future......"

"Did he win the Grand Jury Prize? Well, it's really good, but you can't be proud, the road to the Palme d'Or is not easy, I was ...... back then."

…………

The Cannes Film Festival is completely over, but the copyright trading market will continue for at least another week.

As the highlight of the award-winning film, these days are the time when a large number of film companies come to the door.

Liu Yifei got up lazily, and when she saw that she hadn't woken up and was called by Liu Xiaoli, she looked decadent.

"Yesterday you said you were going to meet the filmmaker with me, and today you regret it?" Lin Nan teased.

"I'm so sleepy, I don't want to go......"

Liu Yifei yawned, hugged Lin Nan's waist, leaned on his chest and began to nap.

"I'm really convinced of you, okay, okay, you go to sleep, I'll go with Yue Jun."

"Well, that's ......"

Hearing this, Miss Liu nodded lazily, smiled at Lin Nan, and then turned around and walked to her room, ready to go back to sleep.

"Oh, it's lazy, hehe......"

Lin Nan shook his head, with a doting look on his face.

…………

The jury's grand prix for the blessing of the copyright price of "Star Fortune" is vividly reflected.

Gu Changwei, Chen Kexin, Xu Ke and Yu Dong and others were all very jealous.

Because they all know, many blockbuster studios have sent copyright purchase intentions to Lin Nan and "Star Luck".

Chen Kexin and the filmmakers of "Martial Arts" are very helpless at this time, because the reality is cruel to them......

China Film and Wanda have already done the work of "Painted Skin 2", and European and American filmmakers who are interested in buying the copyright have all bought it.

"How much?" Lin Nan asked.

"The blessing of Director Tollin, except for Southeast Asia, we didn't sell it, and the other regions add up, with a total of $10.15 million in copyright income."

Hearing this number, Lin Nan was also quite satisfied, which was already very good.

"Director Lin, Han Dong wants to disclose this transaction figure to the media after we return to China?"

The people in China Film were asking for Lin Nan's opinion, and Wanda also agreed.

"I'm okay with that."

The theme of "Painted Skin 2" is there, and it is definitely a success to be able to sell this result in Cannes.

For China Film, Ning Ying and West Film, this is a glorious political achievement!

There are 12 filmmakers on the side of "Star Fortune", all of whom have intentions after the previous opening ceremony.

Before the award ceremony, Lin Nan asked Yue Jun to hang them all the time, and now it was time for a showdown.

A jury prize increased the bidder's bid for "Star Fortune" by nearly a third.

When Lin Nan came over, he saw Yue Jun leading people and a group of filmmakers chatting about something, and it seemed that it was almost there.

"Director Lin?"

An employee walked over.

"How much?" Lin Nan asked.

"Star Fortune" only retains the domestic copyright, and the overseas copyright is among the sales this time.

Hearing the question, a happy expression instantly appeared on the employee's face.

"Director Lin, it has been decided, and the overseas copyright adds up to a total of 28.6 million ......"

Lin Nan paused, then nodded. That's a lot of numbers.

Previously, "Hunting" sold $32.4 million in Venice, but it was a Golden Lion Award-winning film, and the theme was particularly suitable for Europe and the United States.

This "Star Fortune" is the second place, and it is still a literary romance film, and the $28.6 million is definitely a high price.

It can only be said that the movies that Lin Nan and Liu Yifei acted in together still have some special blessings!

A romance film starring a top director and a top actress together, and the two are a pair of lovers in reality......

…………

Several Chinese-language films are seizing the last time to deal for film rights.

As for whether it sells well or not, I don't know.

However, Lin Nan heard a piece of gossip.

"Martial Arts" seems to have met with Harvey Weinstein, and the whole process is very low-key.

In the next few days, "Star Fortune" got the contracts and copyright transfer documents with all the film companies......

A group of domestic crews are preparing to leave Cannes and return to China.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were also packing their luggage and preparing to go back.

The team of more than a dozen people seems to be a little excited. In the end, it was divided into two batches, and Yue Jun and the others were allowed to go first.

First class.

Liu Xiaoli listened to her daughter and Lin Nan talking about copyright, and it was the first time she knew that "Star Luck" sold for so much money.

"Don't look at director Jia Zhangke and director Lou Ye, they shout all day long, let the theater chain schedule more films, and the box office will always be losing money.

In fact, they are all fake, and their movies never lose money.

The profitability of their films does not depend on domestic at all, but in international film festivals, it lies in the copyright trading ......"

Lin Nan gave Liu Yifei some things in the circle.

To be realistic, most viewers will definitely think that award-winning film directors such as Jia Zhangke are not as good as Feng Xiaogang and others in terms of assets.

In fact, this is completely deceived by superficial phenomena, and these directors are all deeply hidden!

Award films or commercial films, directors who can go to the forefront in both fields are top figures, and it is easy to make money.

…………

Liu Yifei changed into the same outfit she wore when she went to Cannes.

White T-shirt, baggy jeans, small white shoes, big sunglasses, long hair shawl......

Up and down, there is a youthful and beautiful atmosphere, which makes people stop.

The group walked at the airport, and the return rate was very high, and many people wanted to come up and ask for an autograph.

A large number of media have long been squatting outside.

Because we all know that the crew who went to Cannes will definitely come back in the next two days, especially "Star Luck".

If you bring more people, you will have the advantage that you will not be forcibly blocked by reporters and will not be able to leave.

However, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei still chose a farther place and accepted the interview.

"Director Lin, Yifei, congratulations to "Star Fortune" for winning the award. Can you tell us how much the copyright has sold? ”

Good guys, get straight to the point as soon as you come up.

"This has to be kept secret, I can only say it's okay."

Lin Nan smiled and said vaguely.

"Is there more than "Painted Skin 2"? Today, China Film announced the copyright transaction amount, 10.15 million US dollars! ”

Lin Nan was a little emotional, Han Sanping's temperament was still so impatient.

"...... higher than "Painted Skin 2"

……

"Yifei, how does it feel to be on stage to accept the award?"

……

"Ms. Liu, how do you feel about winning the best supporting actress? Will you appear in the film in the future......"

……

It took more than half an hour outside the airport before Lin Nan and the others left by car.

In the afternoon of the same day, the news of the return of several crews was reported.

Immediately afterwards, Huayi and Deng Wendi announced that "Snowflake Secret Fan" sold overseas copyrights at a high price in Cannes;

The same is true of Bona and Xu Ke, ""Dragon Gate Flying Armor" creates a copyright trading miracle in Cannes! ”

"'The Favorite' has paid for itself and is profitable......"

"Martial Arts" has sold the film rights outside Southeast Asia at a high price!"

Among several Chinese-language films, only "Painted Skin 2" announced specific figures, and Lin Nan said that the transaction volume of "Star Fortune" was higher than that of "Painted Skin 2".

The rest of the film producers, when asked by the media about the specific copyright transaction amount, all had only one answer: "Commercial secrets, inconvenient to inform"!

A slap in the face always comes quickly, and some media are indeed powerful!

According to Cannes news, the copyright transaction volume of "Snowflake Secret Fan" is about 2.5 million US dollars;

"Favorite" determined to recover its costs and more than double its profit;

"Dragon Gate Flying Armor" did not achieve the expected goal, and it still needs box office support to return to its original cost;

"Painted Skin 2" numbers are accurate ......"

When the circle saw the revelation of the transaction volume of "Star Fortune", the production companies were extremely red.

"Uncertain news, the copyright transaction volume of "Star Fortune" is very likely to reach more than 20 million US dollars, and its cost is only 10 million domestic currency ......"

In the face of this kind of revelation on the Internet, the media came to Lin Nan Pictures for verification, but Yue Jun did not make any response to this.

The most funny thing in the industry is "Martial Arts".

The filmmaker said that the copyright was sold at a high price, but the news that broke the news was the opposite.

"Director Chen Kexin and the filmmaker sold the overseas rights of "Martial Arts" to Harvey Weinstein for $2 million......"

Without waiting for the "Martial Arts" filmmaker to deny it, there are already photos of the crew and Harvey meeting on the Internet, which were taken secretly.

At this moment, his face was beaten.

After all, Harvey's style is well known in the domestic film industry.

That's a typical vampire, who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!

In the face of the revelations, Chen Kexin and the filmmaker had nothing to say, they could only quibble, and the specific transaction amount was not two million.

Many mainland filmmakers are ridiculing:

"Maybe it's not two million dollars, but less than two million, haha......"
