Chapter 328 Copyright Transaction
The award ceremony dinner ended and it was almost eleven o'clock at night.
A lot of news about the film festival spreads from Cannes to all over the world.
When Lin Nan was immersed in sleep, the sky in China had just dawned.
The headlines in the film and television industry today are all about the Cannes Awards ceremony.
Countless filmmakers in the industry looked at it sideways and were stunned!
"The mother of Liu Yifei won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Cannes International Film Festival for "The Fault in Our Stars"!"
This news has surprised and aggrieved countless actresses , difficult to accept.
A guy from a different industry just won an award at an international film festival? Trampled underfoot a large number of domestic actresses!
Not to mention others, the guest actors in "The Star" were each more surprised than the last.
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 at Cannes!
A film award of this level is too high-end and too far away for many actors in the industry...
Immediately afterwards, everyone posted messages on Weibo to celebrate.
After all, everyone is a member of "Xing Lun", so proud of it!
If Liu Xiaoli won the award, the industry was a little surprised and caught off guard.
The jury awards won by Lin Nan and Liu Yifei completely shocked the entire film industry.
Why do you say that?
Because most people in the industry thought that it would be great if Lin Nan's film won the third-class individual award. After all, it was the Cannes Film Festival!
After so many years from before the turn of the millennium to now, Chinese-language films have had very little success in Cannes.
As the highest award of the Palme d'Or, only Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" has received it so far.
As for the Jury Prize, which is second only to the Palme d'Or, only two people have won it...
No, after today, there is one more person.
“After "Alive" directed by Zhang Yimou and "The Devil Is Coming" directed by Jiang Wen, the third domestic director and film to win the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival was born."
" That is Director Lin Nan and "The Fault in Our Stars" ”
That's right, Lin Nan became the third director in China to win this award.
Since then, Liu Yifei has also produced a film that has won the Cannes Jury Prize!
…………
It was still late at night and early morning in Cannes, but the domestic entertainment industry was already extremely lively.
"Although I haven't seen "The Star" yet, I believe in Lin Nan's ability and she deserves the jury award, just like I did! Haha..."
When Jiang Wen was being interviewed, he was not modest at all. While praising Lin Nan, he did not forget to boast about himself.
Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin from the TV series, Yang Mi from the "Hongmen Banquet" crew, Zhao Liying from the "Four Famous Catchers" crew, and Reba who is still on the show, several Shanhai Media artists are very Excited.
Because the stronger the boss Lin Nan is, the easier their path will be...
Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others also took time out of their busy schedule to accept phone interviews with the media.
"It's a pity, it's just a little bit short. But it's already very good. This is just the first time. Lin Nan is still young and there are still many opportunities in the future..."
"He won the Jury Prize? Well, he is indeed very good, but you can't be proud. The road to the Palme d'Or is not easy. I was..."
…………
Cannes The film festival is finally over, but the copyright trading market will continue for at least another week.
As the highlight of the award-winning film, a large number of film producers are coming to visit these days.
Liu Yifei got up lazily. She looked like she was awake when Liu Xiaoli shouted at her, looking decadent.
"Yesterday you said you wanted to meet with the film studio with me, and you regret it today?" Lin Nan joked.
"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 take a nap.
"I'm really convinced by you. Okay, okay, you can go back to sleep. I'll go with Yue Jun and the others."
"Well, okay..."
Hearing this, Miss Liu nodded lazily, smiled at Lin Nan, then turned and walked to her room, ready to go back to sleep.
"Oh, so lazy, haha..."
Lin Nan shook his head, with a look of endearment on his face.
…………
The jury award clearly reflects the blessing of the copyright price of "The Star".
Gu Changwei, Chen Kexin, Xu Ke and Yu Dong were all jealous.
Because they all know it, many blockbuster film producers have expressed their intention to purchase the copyright to Lin Nan and "Star".
Chan Kexin and the producers of "Martial Arts" are very helpless at the moment, because reality is cruel to them...
China Film and Wanda have settled the matter of "Painted Skin 2". All European and American film producers who were interested in purchasing the copyright did so.
“How much?” Lin Nan asked.
"Thanks to Director Tolin, except for Southeast Asia, we didn't sell it. Adding up the other regions, the total copyright income is 10.15 million US dollars."
Hearing this number, Lin Nan was also quite satisfied. This is already very good. .
"Director Lin, Director Han wants to disclose this transaction figure to the media after we return to China?"
People from China Film Group are seeking Lin Nan's opinion, and Wanda also agrees.
“I have no objection.”
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, Ningbo Film and Television Film, this is a glorious political achievement!
There are 12 film producers on "The Star", all of whom had expressed interest after the opening ceremony.
Before the award ceremony, Lin Nan asked Yue Jun to keep hanging on to them. Now it was time for a showdown.
A jury award caused these people to increase their bid for "Star Luck" by nearly one-third.
When Lin Nan came over, he saw Yue Jun and his men chatting with a group of film producers. It looked like they were done.
"Director Lin?"
An employee came over.
"How much?" Lin Nan asked.
"Star" only retains domestic copyrights, and overseas copyrights are included in the sale this time.
Upon hearing the question, the employees' faces instantly showed expressions of joy.
"Director Lin, it has been decided. The overseas copyrights add up to a total of 28.6 million dollars..."
Lin Nan paused for a moment, then nodded. This number is very high. Previously, "Hunting" sold 32.4 million US dollars in Venice, but it was a Golden Lion Award-winning film, and its subject matter was particularly suitable for Europe and the United States.
This "Star" ranks second and is a literary romance film. The price of US$28.6 million is definitely a high price.
It can only be said that the movie starring Lin Nan and Liu Yifei together has some special blessings!
A top director and a top actress act together in a romance film, and the two are lovers in reality...
…………
Several Chinese movies The film makers are seizing the last moment to secure the film rights.
As for whether it sells well or not, I don’t know.
However, Lin Nan heard a piece of gossip.
The "Martial Arts" side seems to have met with Harvey Weinstein, and the whole process was very low-key.
In the next few days, "The Star" finalized contracts and copyright transfer documents with all film producers...
A number of domestic crews were preparing to leave Cannes and return to China.
Lin Nan and Liu Yifei are also packing their luggage and preparing to go back.
The team of more than a dozen people seemed to be a bit aggressive. In the end, they were divided into two groups and let Yue Jun and others go first.
In first class.
Liu Xiaoli listened to her daughter and Lin Nan discussing copyright matters. This was the first time she knew that "The Star" had been sold for so much money.
“Don’t look at directors Jia Zhangke and Lou Ye who are shouting all day long to ask theaters to arrange more movies, and they will always lose money at the box office.
In fact, they are all fake. Their movies, Never lose money.
The profit of their films does not depend on the domestic market at all, but on copyright transactions at international film festivals..."
Lin Nan gave Liu Yifei some popular science about the industry.
To be realistic, Most viewers will definitely think that Jia Zhangke and other award-winning film directors are not as good as Feng Xiaogang and others in terms of assets.
In fact, this is completely deceived by superficial phenomena. Each of these directors has hidden secrets. Don't show it!
Directors who are at the forefront of award-winning films or commercial films are top figures and can make money easily
…………
Liu Yifei put on the same outfit she wore when she went to Cannes.
White T-shirt, baggy jeans, white shoes, big sunglasses, long hair shawl...
The whole body exudes a youthful and beautiful atmosphere, which makes people stop.
The group walked at the airport, and the rate of return was very high. Many people wanted to come up and ask for an autograph.
A large number of media have been waiting outside for a long time.
Because everyone knows that the crew who went to Cannes will definitely come back in these two days, especially "Stars".
The advantage of bringing more people is that you won’t be blocked by reporters and you won’t be able to leave.
However, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei still chose a place farther away for the interview.
"Director Lin, Yifei, congratulations on winning the award for "The Star". Can you tell me how much the copyright was sold for?"
Good guy, let’s get straight to the point right from the start.
“This has to be kept secret, I can only say it’s okay.”
Lin Nan smiled vaguely.
"Is it as much as "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 Resistant.
"Higher than "Painted Skin 2"..."
...
"Yifei, how does it feel to go on stage to receive the award?"
...
"Ms. Liu, how do you feel about winning the Best Supporting Actress? Will you appear in films in the future..."
...
After waiting outside the airport for more than half an hour, Lin Nan and others left by car.
In the afternoon of that day, news was reported that several crew members were returning one after another.
Immediately afterwards, Huayi and Deng Wendi announced that the overseas rights of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" were sold at Cannes at a high price;
The same was true for Bona and Xu Ke, ""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" Create a copyright transaction miracle in Cannes”
""The Favorite" has recovered its costs and made a lot of profits..."
""Martial Arts" has sold the film rights outside Southeast Asia at high prices!"
Several Chinese films Among them, only "Painted Skin 2" has announced specific figures, and Lin Nan said that the transaction volume of "Star Luck" is higher than that of "Painted Skin 2".
When other film producers asked the media about the specific copyright transaction amount, they all had only one answer: "It is a commercial secret and we cannot disclose it"!
Slaps in the face always come quickly, and some media are indeed very powerful!
"According to Cannes news, the copyright transaction volume of "The Snowflake and the Secret Fan" is around 2.5 million US dollars;
"The Favorite" is sure to recover the cost and the profit will more than double;
"Long Men Fei" "A" did not achieve the expected goal, and still needs box office support to recover the cost;
The figures for "Painted Skin 2" are accurate..."
When the industry saw the news of the transaction volume of "Star", The production companies were extremely jealous.
"Uncertain news, the copyright transaction volume of "Star Luck" is very likely to reach more than 20 million US dollars, and its cost is only 10 million domestic currencies..."
Faced with such revelations online, the media Many people came to Lin Nan Pictures for verification, but Yue Jun made no response.
What amused the industry the most was the incident in "Martial Arts".
The producer said that the copyright was sold at a high price, but the news that broke out was just the opposite.
"Director Chen Kexin and the film crew sold the overseas copyright of "Martial Arts" to Harvey Weinstein for US$2 million..."
Before the producers of "Martial Arts" came forward to deny it, there were already photos on the Internet of the meeting between the crew and Harvey, which were taken secretly.
At this moment, his face was slapped hard.
After all, Harvey’s style is well known in the domestic film industry.
That's a typical vampire, eating people without spitting out bones!
Faced with the revelations, Chen Kexin and the film crew had nothing to say and could only quibble that the specific transaction amount was not two million.
Many mainland filmmakers are joking:
"Maybe it's really not two million US dollars, but less than two million US dollars, haha..."
