Walking on the podium and receiving the golden bear award from Roland, Chen Fei suddenly had a line in his mind.

"I have no regrets in my life......"

"Congratulations!" Roland gave a thumbs up, unabashedly admiring his heart.

"Thank you." Chen Fei bowed slightly in thanks.

In terms of etiquette, he never embarrassed Huaxia.

Roland handed him the microphone while stepping back, leaving the center of the stage to him.

After thanking each other again, Chen Fei clenched the microphone and turned to look directly at the thousands of people in the venue.

Even though he was stared at by thousands of pairs of eyes, he didn't have the slightest nervousness, from his expression to the various subtle movements of his body, he was calm!

"To be honest, I was still under a lot of pressure when I was sitting in the audience and watching others receive the award.

After all, this is my first work to be exhibited abroad, and it is also the first time I have come into contact with this kind of subject.

Before I came, I was subjected to a lot of doubts, and I was ridiculed and ridiculed by many people, saying that I was beyond my ability and delusional.

But! I never wanted to give up, I came here under a lot of pressure and had a lot of confidence in my work!

At 21 years old, which is an age when most people are still enjoying university life, I am already standing on the podium of the Berlin Film Festival.

I remember the last time I came, I was still a young and ignorant teenager, sitting in the audience, watching others come up to the stage to accept the award with envy.

But since then, I have made up my mind that I want to be a good director, make excellent works, and spread it to the world!

And now, I can finally shout "I made it" because I won the Golden Bear, the highest honor at the Berlin International Film Festival!

Here, I would like to thank the actors who have accompanied me through the most difficult moments!

Huang Bo, Wang Luodan, Wang Baoqiang, Duo Bujie, and those brothers and sisters who were unable to attend, it is your hard work that has made me have today's glory!

At the same time, I would like to ask those who are laughing at me, sarcastic at me, questioning me to take a good look at me, I am stronger than you think! Step up your game! Brave! Continual self-improvement! ”

Bang Bang Bang!

The applause resounded like thunder.

With enthusiastic cheers, Chen Fei returned to his seat.

This kind of little person strives to go upstream and strives to prove his deeds, whether at home or abroad, is the topic that can make people feel the most immersed.

On this night, everyone present remembered the teenager who spoke confidently on stage!

He walked out of Huaxia, and at the age of only 21, he brought a huge shock to everyone!

…

After the Golden Bear Award is announced, the award ceremony is officially over.

After Roland's concluding speech, under the arrangement of the staff, everyone began to leave.

On both sides of the audience, the media and reporters from China grinned at this time, smiling even happier than Chen Fei!

Golden Bear!

That horse is a golden bear!

was really got it by Chen Fei!

They couldn't believe what kind of sensation this news would cause if it was transmitted back to China!

Due to the time difference, it was already early in the morning in China.

But even so, the offices of major web portals, newspapers and magazines, and entertainment journals are still shining with dazzling lights.

Everyone is waiting.

Did "Peacock" win the Golden Bear Award?

The pages of all the morning headlines have been prepared, just wait for the news to reach back to China, and then fill in the name of "Gu Changwei", and it is ready to be printed.

No one can stop the "Golden Bear"!

This will be the grandest moment in the domestic film and television industry!

…

Sina.com, in the office area of the entertainment sector.

At this time, under the leadership of the editor-in-chief, more than a dozen editors are waiting in the conference room, ready to draw a final end to the manuscript they have compiled.

There was a sense of weariness and weariness on their faces.

Working in the entertainment sector, overtime is a common occurrence, and sometimes in order to catch hot topics, it is even common to stay up all night.

Tonight is the time for the Berlinale awards, and everyone has to be on the lookout for the first edition of the news.

A quarter past three!

"Jingle Bell ......"

The bell that meant "the final result" rang suddenly, attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room.

The editor-in-chief pressed the connect button, anxiously waiting for the voice from the other side.

"Golden Bear! It's a golden bear! ”

Rumble!

In an instant, the tiredness on everyone's faces dissipated without a trace!

Made! It's really a golden bear!

After many years, the mainland director once again won the Golden Bear, which represents the highest award at the Berlin Film Festival.

For the film and television industry, this is an epoch-making scene!

Someone sighed with emotion: "This Gu Changwei is really a bull." ”

There was a "crackling" keyboard sound in the conference room, and everyone invariably typed Gu Changwei's name in the blank space of the manuscript, and pressed the full stop for the front page headline.

However, in the next second, a scene that shocked everyone appeared!

On the other end of the phone, with the word "Golden Bear" appearing, a new voice was ushered in, "It's Chen Fei!" It's No Man's Land! He's the Golden Bear! ”

"???"

The noise in the conference room disappeared without a trace at this moment, and everyone's eyes widened with disbelief.

Chen Fei?

Golden Bear!

No matter what they think, they can't associate the name with the award.

This can no longer be described as outrageous, it is completely "an idiot's dream"!

The editor-in-chief stood up abruptly and asked with a shocked face, "Say it again?" Who got the Golden Bear? Is it Gu Changwei? ”

"It's Chen Fei! He won the Golden Bear Best Film with "No Man's Land", and Gu Changwei only won the Silver Bear Award of the Jury. ”

At this moment, there was silence in the conference room, but everyone had a deafening feeling!

The fax machine began to rustle, and one photo after another was transmitted from Berlin to the country.

It is impressively engraved with Chen Fei standing on the podium, holding the Golden Bear trophy, and his face is full of spirit!

The conference room suddenly sounded the roar of the editor-in-chief: "Change! Change them all! All the copywriting is overturned and redone! ”

This night, the Sina entertainment sector was brightly lit.

On this night, the entertainment sections of the two major portals of Sohu and NetEase were also brightly lit.

This night, the printers of the major morning newspapers and periodicals cried and scolded Gu Changwei for betraying their trust!

……

It was seven o'clock in the morning.

At this time, it was late at night in Berlin, and Chen Fei was holding the Golden Bear Trophy and sleeping on all fours.

With a smile on his face, he seems to be dreaming of happiness, full of spring flavor!

And in the country, a bomb called "Golden Bear" completely exploded:

"Great news! Mainland director Chen Fei! Winner of the Golden Bear Award! ”

"It's been nine years! Huaxia holds the Golden Bear again! ”

"That 21-year-old boy once again created his own myth, the first transformation film, winning the Golden Bear!"

"The second Zhang Yimou in China really appeared, it was also the first time to go to Berlin, and he also won the Golden Bear ......"

"After Zhang Yimou, Li Press, and Xie Fei, the fourth Golden Bear Award director appeared, and his name is - Chen Fei!"

“……”

On this day, the news from the Berlinale completely grabbed the front page of the major news.

The name "Chen Fei" ushered in a frenzy of swiping!

21 years old, the first transformation, "No Man's Land", Golden Bear Best Picture......

All kinds of entries have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, constantly appearing in everyone's sight.

At the same time, Chen Fei's speech after winning the award also quickly appeared on the front pages of major portals.

[I want to ask those who laugh at me, sarcastically mock me, and question me to take a good look, I am stronger than you think! Step up your game! Brave! Continual self-improvement! 】

When this sentence appeared as the title, the group of old scholars who had previously made a lot of noise lost their voices.

Strong, hardworking, brave and self-reliant......

These words seemed to turn into a resounding slap in the face.

On this day, the hospital received many "old artists" who were suffering from myocardial infarction, and everyone was blushing and having a thick neck, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Nortel re-hung the banner, and Chen Fei's photo appeared on the Outstanding Alumni Commendation Wall, hanging behind Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.

A scrapped car factory in Kyoto towed a 01 Satana, and the name "Lu Chuan" was prominently marked on the driving license.

"Tsk? It's all crashed like this? What about drivers? ”

"People are quite lucky, but their ribs and arms are broken, and their lives are not in danger."

"It's a pity that such a new car won't be cherished? Drive so quickly to reincarnate? ”

……

It was seven o'clock in the morning in Berlin.

After a beautiful sleep, Chen Fei turned over and sat up, took out the mobile phone pressed under the pillow, and pressed the power button.

As expected, the dense number of missed calls and text messages all jumped out the moment they were turned on.

After picking a few people with a good relationship and replying, Chen Fei threw his phone aside.

Today's task is relatively heavy, and he doesn't have time to talk to those people on the phone.

first sent Huang Bo and others to the airport, told them to pay attention to safety on the road, and remember to call when they go back.

Then, he returned to the hotel and chatted with Han Sanping for more than half an hour.

Regarding the buying and selling of film copyrights, China Film is professional in this area and gave Chen Fei a lot of advice.

With the blessing of the Golden Bear Award, the price of "No Man's Land" is no longer comparable to the original.

Before parting, Han Sanping suddenly said: "After I go back this time, I can try to help you fight for it." ”

Well?

Chen Fei didn't react for a while, what are you fighting for?

"Strive to let the film be released in the original way in China on a large scale."

Hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up!

This feeling is good!

"Then thank you Mr. Han."

After thanking him, Chen Fei returned to the room and began to contact the previous filmmakers who were interested in buying.

This is the Golden Bear's best picture, which has been greatly praised by Roland Emmerich, and it is a high-end resource that all film companies fantasize about getting their hands on!

From the moment he decided to sell the copyright, Chen Fei had already made up his mind that all the copyrights abroad would be sold out, and he would not care about the follow-up.

On this basis, the sale of copyrights becomes much easier.

After a fierce battle, the total sales price of copyrights in Europe, Asia, and Africa reached $19 million.

This figure is 32 times the total investment!

And immediately after, he met with the filmmaker from Universal Pictures, Romulo Otero.

After sitting down on the sofa again, Chen Fei placed the Golden Bear Award in the middle of the two, with a faint smile on his face.

"Mr. Romulo, I've completed the agreement, so it's up to you next."

Looking at the golden bear, Romulo had a wry smile on his face.

If Chen Fei hadn't won the Golden Bear Award, he would have been confident that he would have been able to negotiate the copyright of "No Man's Land" for less than $5 million.

But now, this number is completely wishful thinking!

After sorting out his somewhat depressed mood, he said solemnly: "Fei, 10 million US dollars, this is the highest sincerity that Universal Pictures can show." ”

Chen Fei smiled at him and gently pushed the Golden Bear trophy placed on the table forward: "Mr. Romulo, I think it is necessary for you to take a closer look at the color of this bear.

It was the color of gold, not the dull silver.

If you still can't figure it out, then I think it's necessary for me to tell you that we'll have a date later, and then invite someone from Columbia Pictures in. ”

Romulo opened his mouth, suddenly at a loss for words.

Chen Fei's words completely hit the seven inches of Universal Pictures!

As a last resort, he could only take the initiative to ask, "Fei, what is your expected price?" ”

Chen Fei didn't go around the bend with him, and said directly: "All rights are sold in North America and South America, 20 million US dollars." ”

"What !!"

Romulo got up instantly, his face full of disbelief.

He had thought that Chen Fei would open his mouth widely, but he never thought that this mouth would open so widely.

"Impossible! We couldn't have come up with such a price, which has completely exceeded expectations......"

Romulo said excitedly, his eyes full of astonishment.

Doubling the price directly?

Are you kidding?

However, in the next second, a picture that made him even more stunned appeared.

I saw Chen Fei take back the Golden Bear Award from the table without hesitation, the smile on his face quickly dissipated, and he stretched out his right hand to him while getting up.

"Mr. Romulo, since you can't approve of this price, you can only meet later.

My time is precious, I still have a lot of things to do, and since the price can't be negotiated, then I have to contact other companies, and I'm sure there will be people who will be willing to pay a high price for this excellent western. ”

The atmosphere was suddenly a little silent,

Romulo was a little uncomfortable with this kind of Chinese style of bargaining.

It stands to reason that after expressing his disapproval, shouldn't the other party take the initiative to reduce the price? Why did he ask him to leave?

Chen Fei's face was very calm.

If he hadn't looked for Han Sanping, he might have lost under $10 million, but after the analysis of the third master, he is now full of confidence.

The story background of "No Man's Land" is very suitable for the current popular Westerns in the United States, coupled with the blessing of the Golden Bear Award, which means that he can reap huge profits on both the big screen and the DVD industry.

It is precisely based on this that Chen Fei dares to ask for a high price!

After looking at each other for a long time, Romulo sighed helplessly: "Fei, I admit that in addition to being an excellent director, you are also an excellent businessman. ”

It's done!

Chen Fei was overjoyed, but his face was still calm, "Thank you for your compliment." ”

In the following time, the two reached a consensus on the subsequent sales of various copyrights.

Romulo went to a lawyer to draw up a contract, and Chen Fei also borrowed a lawyer from China Film, asking him to help review the contract regulations, so as to avoid unreasonable contract traps.

The next morning, the two parties signed the contract in their hotel room.

When Chen Fei and Romulo signed their names on the contract, the contract officially took effect, and the $20 million will also go into Chen Fei's company account after deducting the corresponding taxes.

Universal's lawyer left the room with the contract first, but Romulo didn't.

He looked at Chen Fei with curiosity, and took the lead in speaking: "Fei, I have specially learned about your deeds, to my surprise, your achievements in commercial films are quite high!"

In your country, you are called the second YiMou Zhang, a highly talented director, right? ”

Humility is a virtue at home, but in front of these gringos, showing your own excellence is the real way to express it.

Chen Fei nodded without thinking: "Yes!" And I have to add that in addition to being a director, I am also a good actor. ”

"Hahaha!" Romulo suddenly laughed, "Fei, I like good people, and Universal Pictures also likes good people.

You can work with us if you want, Hollywood needs great people like you.

Your cinematic style, your bold ideas and actions, are a good fit for Hollywood!

"Spider-Man 2" is a really good movie, and your action direction showed us a different and innovative style.

Truth be told, Fast & Furious 3 is currently in the preparation stage, and our production team had a bold idea, they wanted to go to Tokyo for filming, so they needed a very good Asian director.

And you happen to have that qualification, and we're blown away by your shooting style and daring extreme challenge!

So, if you're interested, try to reply to my message by the end of the month.

Universal Pictures looks forward to working with you. ”

After a very solemn invitation, Romulo left his personal phone number, then got up and left the room.

In the room, Chen Fei was holding the Golden Bear Award in his arms, and a dazzling light gradually bloomed in his eyes!

Isn't going to Hollywood to make a movie just part of his plan?

Although the domestic film market is in a state of recovery, it will take at least ten years if you want to really shake Hollywood!

As for Hong Kong Island......

After the glory of the Infernal Affairs series, the Hong Kong Island film industry officially went into decline.

At the same time, the Hollywood film market is in a stage where a hundred flowers are blooming and thriving!

At this time, going to Hollywood is definitely the best choice, especially since he also has a series of high-quality scripts in hand, so he is bound to rise quickly.

Let's start with a wave of crazy money and a knife plan, and then wait for ten years to have a large amount of money in hand and return with honor......

This pedal is simply the perfect part of the plan!

Of course, the domestic market cannot be completely thrown away, and the layout that should be there still has to be laid.

At least after the official return, even if he wants to make a movie immediately, he has a large team under his hands and enough partners.

"Two flowers bloom inside and outside the wall, and a red apricot is planted in the middle......"

Chen Fei muttered to himself, and various plans and details appeared in his mind again.

However, just as he was immersed in thinking, the phone rang suddenly!

"Bruce?"

Pressing the connect button with some doubts, Chen Fei quipped, "Hi? At this time, have you already gotten up from those female models? ”

"No, I'm still in bed......"

Chen Fei: "??? ”

"Fei, I have great news here, I promise you'll be happy when you hear it!"

“What？ (What?) Is it even better than when I won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival? ”

“Oh！ Shift？ You took the Golden Bear? This...... It's incredible, isn't it? ”

"You haven't told me what great news it is."

"The people from Lionsgate sent me an email and they wanted to meet the owner of 'Dead Silence,' and Universal Pictures sent an email and they wanted to meet the writers of 'Get Out.'"

“WTF？？？”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Fei suddenly felt a little dazed.

Made?

Why do you suddenly feel like the "lucky orange" is just starting to work?

Chen Fei suddenly regretted a little, he knew that this would be the case, he shouldn't have thrown the orange peel into the trash, he should have taken it back and squeezed it into juice and drank it together!
