At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 245 Whether you win the prize or not is secondary (44)

At this stage, the information in the mainland entertainment industry is still quite backward, and the gossip news is not as frenzied as the later generations.

In addition, there is no work of the director to participate in the exhibition this time...

Except for several major portal websites sending special reporters to report, there is basically no official news...

In fact, they came here to report because they thought that Jia Zhangke could create miracles. After all, Lao Jia's previous "Ren Xiaoyao" and "Platform" were shortlisted for the three major film festivals.

As for Distinguished Citizen...

Chen Daoming did accept a few interviews, and briefly commented on "Outstanding Citizen" and the screenwriter Shen Xudong...

To put it bluntly, "Some of the roles are played, young creators, making a movie is making a movie, don't care about anything else, don't think about the box office, and don't think about other things, don't think about anything, just make a movie . '

By the way, there is also 'Congratulations to "Hero" for winning the North American box office for two consecutive weeks"...

That's right, "Hero"!
How can Chen Daoming answer, of course it is 'Congratulations to Director Zhang'!
After all, no one expected that after the screening of "Outstanding Citizen", there would be so many reporters around...

Shen Xudong looked at the people on the stage bragging, but he was thinking about "Hero"...

On the second day, the official program and Italian local media gave "Outstanding Citizen" a score of 4.00.6!
The full score is 5 points, and 4.6 points is already very high...

"Golden Armor in the City" is too much...

Of course, after the reorganization, the purchase price of the TV drama "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" that once sold 10 episodes was directly discounted by 1%, and there was no previous advance payment policy.

Same goes for the sea salt drama...

In a word: Jiang Lang is exhausted!
Although the performance was only 8 minutes, the questioning of A Mou continued until the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games, which lasted for four years.

So, it has to be Ah Mou!
Is it possible to write a script for Ah Mou?

However, later generations only remember Zuo Si and Tao Yuanming!

Moreover, some media even put the Golden Lion award directly on the head of "Outstanding Citizen". It seems that this movie really pleases the Italian media...

Cao Huayi didn't quite understand what MK2 stood for, and it took him a long time to figure it out. Then Wang Qingqiang suggested: "It's better to have a party and invite all the filmmakers..."

The opening price will naturally not be too high.

Cao Huayi is already very happy - 29 euros, converted into RMB more than 300 million yuan!
It's almost evened out...

No reporter will interview him, and the word count is not good enough...

The price is not low!
That's more than 300 million RMB, not only the cost is back, but also some profit, but if you really want to sell it...

Later, Zhang Yimou said in an interview: "In these 8 minutes, the level of scolding, the occasion of scolding, the number of times and people scolded are quite a lot, quite high."

At the bidding meeting, A Mou was successfully elected as the chief director of the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games...

There is nothing to play on the island, and I will get bored in two days.

"Sold eight, small countries like the Netherlands, Hungary, Sweden..."

This thing has also existed in history, gorgeous parallel prose of the Six Dynasties, emphasizing form and ignoring content.

It is estimated that there are also reports in China, but Shen Xudong and the others do not know that Wang Qingqiang is discussing the copyright sale with Cao Huayi who came here specially.

Filmmakers participate in film festivals every year, just like picking up leftovers, scour some low-budget movies, go back and tinker, earn some hard money, and barely make ends meet.

After this performance, from the direct instructions from the leaders to the letters from the general public, it can be said that there were a lot of bad comments, and many people directly said harsh words: Zhang Yimou cannot be allowed to be the director of the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games.

"...is it sold?"

For him, whether he wins the prize or not is secondary, the important thing is to make money!
Haiyan's Zhongsheng Spring and Autumn Film and Television has a tight fund--most of Haiyan's works are about police and gangsters, which happen to be involved in crime dramas, and belong to the type of strict control...

……

Similar performances are old-fashioned, old-fashioned, rote, hodgepodge, and do not show Chinese culture...

Kung fu and Beijing opera followed, and the last little girl sang "Jasmine Flower".

Good guy!
Before the closing ceremony was over, there were already criticisms on the Internet, and by the next morning, it was overwhelming.

Wang Qingqiang explained: "The European film market looks huge, but in fact it is mainly concentrated in the three countries of Britain, France and Germany. Italy and Spain can occasionally rank among the top. The rest can be ignored... just sell at the asking price!"

Suddenly feel a little regretful...

"Eight countries add up to 29 euros..."

I am the director!
……

Brother, this is September, not Cannes in May!
Who is out with you?
He is not interested in such topics, let's go out for a stroll...

mk2, the third largest theater chain in France, has its own theater chains in Germany and Italy, insisting on showing art films!

"I'm contacting MK2..."

The closing ceremony of the Amou Athens Olympic Games was messed up. Where are the 14 girls twisting and turning, what are they wearing?

Later, a leader kept looking for A Mou, saying that he should contribute to the country, so A Mou gathered his team and began to prepare for the bidding of the opening ceremony plan.

The splendid white legs with a long history of 5000 years!
Said that the cheongsam is not a cheongsam, said that the short skirt is not a short skirt, and came out wrapped in a floral quilt, and the vents were still very high...

"Last night, more than a dozen film dealers approached me to negotiate prices!"

"Yes, have a party!"

Because of this, on March 2005, 3, when the solicitation of creative proposals for the opening ceremony of the BJ Olympic Games began, A Mou directly gave up the bid.

In the original time and space, Jia Zhangke's "The Good Man in Three Gorges" was screened in MK2 theaters, and finally earned more than 200 million US dollars in the European box office, and the copyright fee was as high as 400 million US dollars...

"Hero" won the North American box office championship for two consecutive weeks, which can be regarded as a little comfort for Ah Mou's injured heart...

Cao Xiwen, Chen Daoming and director Guan Hu all went to have dinner...

$50…

Well, the European film festivals are all about directors, also called author films...

Guan Hu was a little uncomfortable at first-after all, this is not his movie.

In Venice, it is still during the film festival, and the entire party costs 30 euros for a few!
What?open air?

Shouldn't be in Venice - the festival has little to do with screenwriters.

"Outstanding Citizen" will be released on September 9th - the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival will be on September 17th, and the plan is for a group of people to go back and promote it for a week...

After all, making copies is expensive too!
Wang Qingqiang continued: "The other companies want to buy out the global distribution rights, but the price they offered is too low, the highest is only 50 US dollars..."

It's not about how much money "Outstanding Citizen" will make. Cao Huayi came here mainly to evaluate market expectations...

Wang Qingqiang acted as an interpreter and tossed about for almost half an hour, basically asking Guan Hu...

Hearing this, Shen Xudong was no longer interested...

Afterwards, I let go—why isn’t this my movie?

"Party?"

"Just sell it?"

That's right, the total market of these countries is here. Hollywood blockbusters account for 90% of the market share. How can there be room for movies from other countries?

At that time, the big domestic directors cut off the content and meaning of art, leaving only the form and technique of art.Advocating the beauty of form and art for art's sake.

It was originally just a small attempt - the total cost of "Outstanding Citizen" was only 300 million RMB.

Haiyan was in Hairun before, and he could earn tens of millions of dollars in one play!
Before 02, the national cable TV stations and satellite TV stations were not the same. In order to compete for the right to broadcast TV dramas, they could really offer sky-high prices—the second part of "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" set an astonishing sales of 1.1 million yuan in pre-roll ads!

Why didn't he go?

They didn't send him an invitation letter...

Again, film festivals have never had anything to do with screenwriters!
　I still feel that the line added by Andy Lau in "The Wandering Earth 2" is inappropriate...

　　It feels completely out of the main line!
