Walking the red carpet again.

This time, the suit sponsorship is still the same one at Cannes, Lu Ping'an knows some French this time, and the other party is very surprised, and the sponsorship has increased by 50,000 euros.

The order of walking the red carpet has also changed, Lu Ping'an became the last person in the short film unit, and the organizer left him and Shangmei Factory an extra 10 seconds, which is goodwill.

There are few Asian faces on the red carpet this year, and there are no domestic movie stars.

So all the media in China came to shoot him, Lu Ping'an is very handsome and dressed, or he can be very handsome as long as he wears clothes well and does his hairstyle now, which is the kind of handsome beauty that spans Chinese and Western aesthetics, so foreign reporters are also clickable.

At that scene, the rest of the people who didn't know thought it was a superstar in Asia again.

After walking all the way, I went to the studio to take pictures, and it was still the photographer.

Little brother Kraven's attitude is the same as always.

"It's amazing."

"Pull down the collar a little, yes."

"The coat is open, the chest muscles are awesome, that's all."

"Yes, yes..."

Lu Ping'an is 8 percent sure, this little brother is a "cover".

When I entered the venue, I was still in the same position, and I continued to be in a daze after sitting down.

Everyone in Shangmei Factory looked left and right, and Bao Qingqing looked like an announcer.

"That's Russell? That's what it looks like. ”

"Cate Blanchett, wow, it's so beautiful...

She was very calm and disgusted when she saw the actor, and she was very excited when she saw the actress.

Lu Ping'an couldn't help but wonder if she should be the same as the photographer.

Soon the award ceremony began.

It is still the short film unit that is awarded first.

When a "special mention" and a "silver bear" end, the main creative team of "Hiring Life" has not yet been named

Already excited.

Soon, with the introduction of the host, the award presenters said the final result:

"THE WINNER OF BEST SHORT FILM IS, PINGAN LU, "HIRED LIFE", CONGRATULATIONS!"

Finally no longer a piece of lu!

Lu Ping'an clenched his fists and stood up.

The creators also got up excitedly.

The scene burst into applause.

"I am very happy to be on the podium again, thank my motherland, thank you BJ Film Academy, thank you to the organizing committee for your support... Thanks to the team of Shangmei Factory, Master Hao... Finally, I want to thank my teacher Hu Qingquan, Hu Qingquan is my teacher, I haven't said thank you to him all this time, now, old Hu, thank you, love you (Chinese)! ”

A testimonial, in German, in the middle part in Chinese, but also very playful, compared to a heart, provoked the old Hu hehe smirk.

In a round of applause, Lu Ping'an stepped off the stage, this time he didn't pick cotton.

Returning to his seat, Lu Ping'an gave the Golden Bear medal to Hu Qingquan as soon as possible.

Hu Qingquan was smiling with a smile on his face while holding the cards, and his eyes were slightly moist.

In this year, Hu Qingquan really tried his best to help Lu Ping'an, and he didn't ask for anything in return, Lu Ping'an naturally saw it in his eyes.

Sometimes the words of thanks are really indescribable, but now I say it on stage, and I move people like this.

Lu Ping'an felt that it would be better to take practical actions in the future.

Lu Ping'an patted him on the shoulder: "Lao Hu, next time I come to Berlin, I won't make a short film, and I will try to bring you an authentic bear to hug, but first say okay, don't blame me if you can't get it back." ”

"Good, good!"

Lao Hu smiled and nodded, his eyes kept looking at the cards, and he was a little speechless.

After touching the cards for a long time, it seems that the mood is also stable, Lao Hu then handed the cards to the people in the beauty factory, and then everyone touched them again, one by one.

At the same time, the domestic news about Lu Ping'an was also reported out as soon as possible.

"Lu Ping'an won the Golden Bear Award!"

"Lu Ping'an's short film Europe is once again crowned king!"

"The three major European cities have won two cities, can Lu Ping An achieve the Grand Slam"

"Create history again, Lu Ping'an's new work is about to meet the domestic audience"

"The most handsome Asian face at the Berlin Film Festival"

“。。。”

What is the treatment of the single seedling.

Zhongying didn't need to exert much force, and Lu Ping'an occupied the domestic Internet overnight.

Next is the promotion of "Comet", taking advantage of this shareholder wind, I think that the attention of "Comet" will dominate the whole March.

。。。。。。

At the end of the award ceremony, Lu Ping'an and the creators were interviewed and took pictures.

Later, he took pictures with all the directors and stars who won various awards.

Hayao Miyazaki won the Golden Bear Award for "Spirited Away", and the film is an animation.

Lu Ping'an also got together with him to take a group photo.

One old and one young, a big golden bear, a small golden bear, this year's Berlin belongs to animation.

""Hiring Life" is great, it's a new style of painting that I've never seen before, Shangmei Factory is as strong as ever, and Lu Supervisor is a very talented young man, I'm looking forward to seeing his feature-length animation works, and we can talk more if we need help."

After taking the photo, Hayao Miyazaki told reporters.

Lu Ping'an also responded politely: "I really like Mr. Miyazaki's works, I am very happy to be recognized by him, and I will continue to work hard in the future... ”

Hayao Miyazaki is a good person, very pure, he publicly called on RB leaders to admit the history of aggression against China and apologize to China, and is one of the few RB people recognized by Lu Ping'an.

It can be seen that he is very happy that Shangmei Factory got the Golden Bear.

In his opinion, it may be that the glory of Shangmei Factory is coming back.

Everyone in Shangmei Factory can't say what they are suffering, but it is indeed worth being happy to be recognized by the master.

After a brief contact, everyone went their separate ways to participate in the rest of the activities.

Compared to feature films, short films obviously don't get much spotlight.

However, this time "Hired Life" is a little different.

On the one hand, Lu Ping'an won the award in a row, and his personal fame has a good foundation.

On the other hand, the short film "Hired Life" is as popular as "The Tuner".

And the zzzz of the short film seems to hit the point of media attention.

Hu Qingquan received invitations to 12 film festivals in Europe and the Americas in one afternoon, hoping that "Hiring Life" could be screened in the past.

Lu Ping'an is not surprised by this, the film of the original time and space seems to have won hundreds of awards at film festivals.

At that time, it was 0809, and it seemed that the topic of zzzz would be more intense than now, but in fact, it was still the same sentence, this kind of topic in Europe and the United States belonged to the "classic forever", and it would never go out of style at any time.

And "Employed Life" won the award, the most intuitive embodiment of which is that the copyright transaction price of the film has skyrocketed.

The next day, after Xiang Guoqiang handed the preliminary offer negotiated by Hu Qingquan to Lu Ping'an, Lu Ping'an was shocked.

"800,000 euros, no!"

The adaptation right, the highest price of 800,000, is still from a certain film company in Great Britain, which has increased by 4 times.

That's a lot more expensive than many award-winning feature films.

"The price of the screening rights is also good, boss, you look down."

Xiang Guoqiang reminded again, and Lu Ping'an looked down after hearing it.

Good guys, 67 countries and regions, a total of 850,000!

That adds up to 1.65 million!

"That's higher than a lot of feature films this year!"

"The distribution rights of "Spirited Away" are currently quoted at more than 20 million US dollars, but the other party should not choose to sell out, but split the account."

“。。。”

Lu Ping'an's mentality suddenly calmed down.

It's not good to compare with this kind of great god.

"Spirited Away" has a global box office of 2.1 billion US dollars, not to mention 20 million in distribution rights, 200 million is cheap.

So "Hired Life" may have caught its ride.

Animation year.

He asked, "What about Comet?" ”

""Comet" has not risen much, and the current distribution and adaptation total is about 800,000 euros, I think it can be shot."

Yes!

This offer is already very satisfactory to Lu Ping'an.

800,000 euros, converted into RMB, deducting taxes, is about 4 million.

Compared with the cost of 350,000, it is already a big profit.

Lu Ping'an thought about it, or go back and shoot a small cost?

It's really feasible.

is also a small cost, short films can only be full of economic value if they win awards, while feature films can directly enter the theater.

After the filmmakers get the movie, they don't have to work too hard, they can directly release it to earn the box office.

And after "The Tuner" and "Comet", his personal brand as a director has been established.

With a personal brand and a group of loyal foreign film business customers, as long as the film continues to ensure its quality, it can make money by relying on copyright.

Even if you can't sell it, it doesn't take much time anyway, the cost is not much, and it doesn't matter if you lose it, just practice it.

And it does not delay the movies that are facing the domestic box office.

The more Lu Ping'an thought about it, the more feasible he felt, and he decided to go back and start it.

Anyway, he knows too much about this kind of small-budget film, and it's a waste not to shoot it.

Lu Ping'an then asked: "The peak offer is not." ”

"150,000 was reported, which is still the highest."

"Okay, let Lao Hu make a move, they're all old friends, let's make an appointment to have a meal together."

"Okay."

After Xiang Guoqiang left, Lu Ping'an still couldn't believe it.

"Hired Life" can sell so high.

This is what he earns purely, and he doesn't have to share it with others.

Thank you to the trade unions and thank them for their support to the working people!

Of course, the restrictions that should be set still have to be done, and the contract must indicate that there are no infringements on our country, otherwise you will in turn trap yourself, and then you will really be ruined.

At this point, Lu Ping'an thanked Hu Qingquan again, "Hiring Life" has yellow, black and white, the pattern is large, standing from the perspective of all mankind, no one can say anything, if you listen to the beauty factory, it will be really miserable, and it will be difficult to peel off the skin when you go back...

The short film made a lot of money, "Comet" sold 800,000, of which 600,000 was released, and China Film accounted for half, did Han Sanpin have to have fun stealing after he knew?

Sure enough, after the deal was reached, Han Sanpin called:

"Peace, when will you come back?"

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll drink tea here when I get back."

"No problem."

China Film earned 300,000 US dollars with one ticket, and there is not a penny invested at present, and after the movie is released in China, they only need to make a copy disk, and even if the copy disk is released nationwide, it will be more than 300,000 US dollars, and if it is really released nationwide, it will make a lot of money at the box office by then.

Lu Ping'an felt a little painful.

But he also knows that this is the rules of the game, within the rules of the game, a little loss, the problem is not big, who let the rules of the game master the mountain carving.

It's like being stabbed by the tax man, oops, don't mention it.

Of course, next time he will definitely learn to be smarter, such as finding China Film to distribute after the copyright quotation is revealed.

In this way, there is no need to divide the share of foreign income, and the domestic share can also get more points.

Two days later, Lu Ping'an and the others returned to China.

This time the proceeds came out, and the final distribution and adaptation of "Comet" totaled 850,000, and several more countries and regions, which were brought by "Hired Life" to sell by the way.

The release and adaptation of "Hired Life" sold a total of $1.7 million.

A total of 2.55 million.

Lu Ping'an got 325,000 + 200,000 adaptation rights for "Comet", and "Hired Life" got 1.7 million.

This time, it was less karma after tax, because it was only kept in the company, and Lu Ping'an was not ready to take it out for the time being, so it was only 25% of karma, that is, about 13.7 million.

And the cost of the two films is only 350,000 + 140,000.

Boom Earn!

Plus 150,000 euros of sponsorship, Meizizi.

made money, and Lu Ping'an did not forget to reward the team.

Xiang Guoqiang and the company's people have their own performance rules, Lu Ping'an gave them 10,000 yuan for one more person, and Hu Qingquan, as the producer of "Comet", took 5% of the copyright share according to the contract.

It wasn't until he got his hands that Hu Qingquan reacted: "Is there this in the contract?" ”

"Yes, I'll add it to you."

"You kid!"

Hu Qingquan still accepted it, there is no need to twist this kind of thing.

In the end, Lu Ping'an gave each of the five people a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, including Director Cao, who was 20,000 yuan.

It's gagged.

The cooperation of this short film is a business relationship, Lu Ping'an hired someone to paint, and there is no joint production.

And this time they came, although it was Shangmei Factory to reimburse the car travel expenses, it was actually paid by Lu Ping'an, otherwise the five-person group would come at most one.

In the end, the Golden Bear Award was obtained, and Shangmei Factory also won a name, although it was not all won, but Lu Ping'an did it very well.

It's just that the wealth is moving, I won the award, I sold the copyright, although how much I sold is confidential, but if I really want to inquire, I can still find out some of it.

In addition, he has to cooperate with Shangmei Factory, Venice has not yet made a film, and it is very possible for Shangmei Factory to propose a different way, with Director Cao here, maybe he can mediate.

Everyone is very happy to receive the red envelope, the travel that does not cost money, and can get honors, and the red envelope, there is nothing to complain about.

Before going back, Lu Ping'an met with Watzberg at the peak, and the two made an appointment to talk about cooperation if the results of "The Tuner" were good after the North American release.

In the early morning of February 21, Lu returned to China safely and landed in the capital. . .
