Chapter 0296 - I Have a Friend (Monthly Pass Event 2/5)
However, Dong Ping, the producer of "Heart Labyrinth", is not in a hurry at all.
In the face of the surging international filmmakers, even if someone opened the price to $350,000, he showed no signs of relenting.
He even publicly stated that he would not sell it now for $500,000.
Film is an art, it should be a process that has a beginning and an end, and the Cannes Film Festival is not over yet, so it is not yet time to sell the rights.
Hao Yun almost believed it when he heard it.
But he suspected that Dong Ping wanted to wait for the movie to win the award and sell it at a higher price.
Frankly speaking, although "Labyrinth of the Heart" has received a lot of praise, there are too many films that have received good reviews at the Cannes Film Festival.
Take this year's "Nobody Knows" by Neon, "2046" with the highest score, "Old Boy" with the highest score, "Old Boy" with great bang, "Fahrenheit 911" banned by Mi Go, and "The Meritor", which is also a small production, these movies have received rave reviews, and some of them even surpass Hao Yun.
There are not many things that can be blown in "Heart Labyrinth", and the shortcomings are obvious.
is also more interesting in terms of narrative mode and movie core.
Anyway, Hao Yun doesn't have much hope of winning the award, unless Quentin and Xu Ke give Hao Yun some hanging, but it is impossible for him to win the Palme d'Or or the jury award.
Small prizes don't help much with copyright price increases.
"You have to think like this, if you don't get the award, it can't be lower than the current price, as long as you take any prize and hype it up, it's an additional income of 100,200,000 US dollars, you look at "Old Boy" and they won't sell well or not."
Dong patiently explained to Hao Yun.
invested in Hao Yun and served as a producer, Dong Ping purely looked at Jiang Wen's face.
He didn't expect that Hao Yun's film would really be shortlisted for Cannes, and now it seems that it is still receiving rave reviews.
This made him get serious in an instant.
And Hao Yun's cub speed is relatively fast, people "cats, three dogs, four", Hao Yun from November 20, 2003 start, to the current May 18, 2004 premiere, only half a year, can already be used to sell money, less than cats and dogs.
Look at Gu Changwei's "Peacock", it has been filmed for more than a year, and he hasn't finished cutting it yet.
It would be nice to be released this time next year.
"That's true, if we can sell 500,000 US dollars, the cost will be fully recovered, and if there can be 12 million box office in China, then everyone will hope to get 100% of the revenue."
When Hao Yun talked about money, there was light in his eyes, and he really didn't hide his love for money.
No way, people who have been poor since childhood.
Don't talk to him about life.
"Twelve million is a bit difficult, in fact, if you can have 20% of the income, you are very worthy of the producer." Dong said comfortingly, hoping that Hao Yun would not have too much hope.
There is another kind of income that he didn't say, and that is the prize money from the major award ceremonies.
The small ones are 150,000 yuan, and the big ones even have hundreds of thousands, such as the Palme d'Or has a prize of 250,000 euros.
It adds up to a lot of money.
However, if there is no special agreement for this award, it is generally distributed to the producer.
For example, the director's award belongs to the director, the screenwriter's award, the bonus belongs to the screenwriter, and the trophy and bonus for the best film are generally owned by the copyright owner.
The copyright owner of "Heart Labyrinth" is Hao Yun Studio.
He also paid for this movie.
After chatting for a while, Dong Ping asked what he was most concerned about: "Have you started preparing for your next movie?" ”
That's right, that's what he's hurrying here for.
Otherwise, he can wait for the closing ceremony to come back, anyway, he will not start selling films until the results of the awards come out.
"It's still in the script creation stage, I plan to write it first, publish the comics, and then adapt it into a script for shooting, it's definitely too late this year, and it will probably start next spring when the flowers bloom." Hao Yun's director can only be regarded as a part-time job for the time being, and he relies on the system to reward scripts.
"And who are you going to run it into?" Dong Ping asked directly.
"Uncle Dong, what you said, don't you plan to care about me, although "Heart Labyrinth" doesn't make much, but I still have the confidence to make more money in the next movie." Hao Yun pretended to be aggrieved.
"Haha, cooperation is the will of both parties, of course I am willing to continue to cooperate with you, but if you have any other ideas, we can also get together and disperse, since you are still planning to find me to do it, if you need my help, just call me at any time."
From this time on, Dong Pingcai really regarded Hao Yun as a partner rather than Jiang Wen's vassal.
Hao Yun spent the next few days watching films and "chatting" with filmmakers.
Revise it when it's okay.
"In Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together" was changed to be more suitable for mainland filming.
Because Hao Yun didn't go to high school, and it was difficult to set the background of the story in college, he simply added a sentence in the preface-
I have a friend......
Solve all the problems perfectly, and the narration will feel more felt.
Hao Yun has too many attributes these days, and he is unconsciously affected when he modifies them.
The text is a little more beautiful while remaining fluent.
The whole story has more connotation in addition to the pain of youth.
By the time Hao Yun had changed his mind, the Cannes Film Festival had also reached the closing ceremony and awards stage.
On the 22nd local time (early morning of the 23rd Chinese capital time), the awards ceremony of the 57th Cannes Film Festival was about to be held, and Hao Yun and others once again stepped on the red carpet.
This time, in addition to Jiang Wen and his wife, Hao Yun and Luo Jingmin, there is also a producer Dong Ping.
Hao Yun often walks the red carpet these days.
As a rookie in Cannes, he received many invitations to films, inviting him to go to the film or attend a private film salon.
The purpose of mixing up the face is achieved.
On the red carpet of the awards ceremony, he received warmer and more sincere applause than at the opening ceremony, and "Heart Labyrinth" has also been screened several times in the past few days, and has been recognized by many people.
At the same time, many people in China are also paying attention to this award ceremony.
Sohu Entertainment specially invited Yao Weihong, a well-known domestic film critic, and Maria, a film selection consultant of the Far East Film Festival, to be guests in the Sohu chat room to talk about the anecdotes of major film festivals, review the history of Cannes and predict the awards of this year's Cannes, as well as live broadcasts of pictures and texts.
At the beginning, Yao Weihong took stock of the films exhibited this time.
A number of family treasures gave the audience a science popularization of the directors and leading actors of these films, as well as the content of the films, and whether they came to win awards or simply came to participate in solo exhibitions.
Yao Weihong said that this year's mainland film "Heart Labyrinth" is very likely to win the award.
Then he analyzed it and touted it to the fullest, so that the host of Sohu Entertainment had to quickly pull his reins.
Big brother, hold back.
In case of a slap in the face, no one will watch our show next year.
At this year's Cannes Awards, there was no special host, and Quentin definitely didn't mind making a cameo appearance in this role.
He first said what he thought was awesome nonsense, and then he started to present the awards.
The first was the Golden Photography Award, which was awarded to Or.
Then there is the Short Film Palme d'Or, a short film jury......
At this time, Hao Yun, who had an indifferent mentality, couldn't smile.
He was a little nervous.
What would he do if you gave him the Palme d'Or?
Is it better to be calm, or to be excited, do you want to cry?
Also, when presenting awards, people will use veneer etiquette, in case it is a bearded person to present the award, it will not pierce people.
"Next, let's award the Best Screenplay Award, "Heart Labyrinth", Hao Yun~!"
If it is a beauty, can it be kissed directly, Hao Yun doesn't understand the etiquette of these people, because the etiquette is completely different from different places.
Some of them are close noodles, pinch them in their mouths, and make a kissing sound.
Some kiss the face directly with the mouth, which is not considered a hooligan.
Some even kissed their mouths, Hao Yun had seen it more than once, and the man and the man kissed to show friendship.
Of course, tongue temperature is definitely not a no-no.
"Hao Yun ~" Jury Zhu Xi Quentin had to speak again, he felt that his Chinese was good enough.
