Chapter 704 The selection begins

Chunni smiled and said: "Yes, and "Liu Yifei Born in 82", which he directed and starred in, also made many people cry.

Next, we invite Mr. Zhang Yang, chairman of the jury, to deliver a speech. "

Accompanied by a round of applause, Zhang Yang began to speak with a smile: Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone. On this beautiful night, we are gathered at the Beijing International Film Festival...

This year I am very honored to serve as the chairman of the jury of the Beijing International Film Festival, serving Chinese films and world films.

This is both an honor and a responsibility. I would like to thank the Beijing International Film Festival Jury for the invitation and trust.

Our judging panel will follow the principle of fairness and justice...

Here I wish this film festival a complete success. Thanks!
After Zhang Yang finished his speech, the audience applauded again, and Zhang Yang and the others slowly walked off the stage and took their seats again.

After Zhang Yang took his seat, Liu Yifei whispered from the side: "Why didn't you get the speech script?"

"I've remembered it all in my mind. How did it go?" Zhang Yang pointed at his head and said.

"It's all cliche, but everyone who spoke before took it but you didn't take it."

Zhang Yang said "Oh" and continued to watch the performance.

After that, there were program performances mixed with video introductions. The finale this time was by Zhang Liangying. She presented a medley of classic songs, both in Chinese and English.

Zhang Yang listened to Zhang Liangying's song and praised in a low voice: "As expected of my family."

Liu Yifei secretly rolled her eyes and said to Zhang Yang, "Can this also have something to do with my family?"

"I invited her to sing with you this morning. What's the point of singing with Shu Chang?" Zhang Yang said calmly while watching the performance.

Liu Yifei puffed up her lips when she heard this and turned to look at Zhang Yang, but then she thought about it, she could also compete with Zhang Liangying!

She has practiced singing for so long, even if she has not been promoted from a second-rate singer to a first-rate singer. But at least from the early second-rate stage to the late second-rate stage! Maybe it’s still a second-rate Dzogchen.

Zhang Liangying in the finale was followed by Zhang Bicheng. This woman was also ruthless and dared to run away with the ball, while Zhao Liying just did the splits with the ball.

The opening ceremony of the Beijing International Film Festival ended here, and everyone left in twos and threes.

After Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei returned home and took a shower, they lay on the bed and chatted for a while. Zhang Yang said very coquettishly: "You won't see me for a week, so don't miss me too much."

Next, Zhang Yang and other judges will stay at the Beijing International Hotel for a week, with only one task: watching movies.

Ten awards will be judged on the 22nd.

"I'm very busy. I have to take care of my children, so I don't have time to think about it." Liu Yifei said calmly.

"It makes people sad when you say that." Zhang Yang turned to look at her and protested.

"hehe."

Zhang Yang couldn't bear it anymore, Liu Yifei actually made such a sound.

"Give you a chance to reorganize your language." Zhang Yang said solemnly.

Zhang Yang said that he would give Liu Yifei a chance to organize her words, but he did not give her the time to speak seriously. The two soon became entangled. This night was really like:
The broken lamp upstairs accompanies Xiao Shuang, and the person sleeping alone gets up from the acacia bed.

Lovesickness can last as long as a one-night stand.

The next morning, Zhang Yang brought some luggage and was picked up by his assistant to the Beijing International Hotel.

Before he went in, he told his assistant: "This time you are dealing with so many copyright dealers alone, so be more careful."

"Okay, is there any bottom line this time?" the assistant asked tentatively.

"You decide for yourself." After Zhang Yang said this, he handed the suitcase to the hotel staff who came over and walked in.

The assistant looked at Zhang Yang's back and felt a little bitter. He thought about why this sentence was so similar to when he came home from school on Sunday. His mother asked him what he had eaten, and he said casually.

Then he is generally not very satisfied with his mother's arrangements.

The time came on the morning of the 20th, at No. 25, Xinjiekouwai Street, HD District, Beijing. China Film International Cinema Xiaoxitian Branch.

There will be a small movie viewing party here this morning. Zhang Yang's new movie "Sky Rescue".

Except for the mainland rights, all of this movie will be sold today.

Zhang Yang's assistant was wearing a black suit today and looked very handsome. He smiled at the film producers who came from all over the world and looked very calm.

Soon after dozens of film dealers arrived, the assistant walked into the screening room. He asked the Ocean Studio employee next to him: "Have you checked everything?"

"Everything has been checked. There is no problem. There will definitely be no stolen recording." The employee said with certainty.

The assistant nodded and walked to the front to sit down. Soon the movie screening started, and the one-hour and forty-minute movie ended quickly.

The assistant listened to the exclamations from these film producers during the screening, with a faint smile on his face. The special effects of the movie were awesome, and the movie was generally stable.

As for the plot and so on, don’t worry at all when the boss is here! How far the copyright can be implemented depends on his ability.

After the movie screening, the assistant looked at the film producers from all over the country and said calmly in English: "Everyone, let's go to the conference room to talk!"

Film producers from all over the country soon came to a large conference room, and a sword-fighting negotiation began.

The Disney representative came up and said, "We are willing to pay $4000 million."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone thought he was crazy!
They are not going to make money, they are going to Zhang Yang!
Although this movie was directed by Zhang Yang, all the other actors are unknowns internationally.

The assistant also looked at him in surprise and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure, 4000 million US dollars to buy all copyrights outside China." Disney representative said. When he said this, all the film producers were relieved. The bid was not too high, but too low.

"Warner will offer us US$5000 million," Warner's representative said not to be outdone.

Their company has cooperated with Zhang Yang twice so far, and they are looking forward to the third cooperation.

A film producer from a European company said unhappily: "You Americans are too overbearing. You bought all the copyrights at once. Didn't we come in vain?"

His words aroused widespread agreement from other film producers, and the entire conference room was noisy for a while.

The assistant watched all this and was secretly happy. The two Hollywood companies were really good people. This would relieve him of the pressure of negotiations.

After they argued for a while, the assistant raised his left hand and pressed down to interrupt: "Everyone, we are discussing business. As long as you all contribute more than 5000 million, I will definitely not give up the global copyright." All sold to Hollywood."

"This way, let's make it simple. You each bid, and I will summarize the results, based on the best interests of our movie." The assistant said and asked someone to prepare pen and paper.

There is nothing new in this method. The main thing is that buyers must be interested in movies. Would they not be interested in Zhang Yang's movies?

Since Zhang Yang's previous movies had made them more or less profitable, they felt more at ease in bidding.

This time, each company could provide regional prices and global prices. They quickly wrote them down, and the assistant took them and handed them to the Ocean Studio employees on the side for statistics.

Soon the results came out. After reading it, the assistant raised his eyebrows and announced: "This time, Warner America, United Television Mexico, and Mosfilm Production Company Russia...these 12 companies have obtained the local copyright."

After his results were announced, the film companies that bought the rights breathed a sigh of relief.

The assistant did not expect that besides the American film companies, Mexico and Russia were the ones who paid the most for this movie. Each of them paid $500 million. In addition, Warner America also contributed US$2800 million.

So many European countries combined have more than 1500 million US dollars. Hanguo also paid US$300 million, and other countries also paid more than US$300 million. This time, the copyright was sold for a total of more than US$5900 million.

This was a bit beyond the assistant's expectations. He thought it would be enough to get 5000 million US dollars, but he underestimated the power of special effects blockbusters.

From the copyright alone, the movie has already earned nearly 1 million.

After the serious discussion, the assistant took them to have a big meal and then sent the results to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was very calm after receiving the result. The assistant thought the price was a bit too much, but to Zhang Yang it was a little little. This was the disadvantage of not looking for a well-known actor.

If it were like the original version, Dwayne Johnson might be able to sell the copyright a little more, but the extra money would probably be offset by his high salary.

Time passed by on the afternoon of the 22nd, and it was time to select the awards.

At the Beijing International Hotel, Zhang Yang was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, looking at the six judges and saying with a smile: "Everyone, we have also watched all the shortlisted films in the past few days.
Now it's time to announce the results. I hope this review can end easily. After all, there are only ten awards. "

Everyone saw that Zhang Yang said it was easy, but he was not relaxed in his heart.

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he suggested: "How about we start with the best film!"

"No, no, no, let's do it in order. Chairman, you also said that there are only ten awards that are well-selected." Florian said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other three foreigners agreed unanimously.

There are seven people in the jury, including Zhang Yang, Xu Qing and Chen Deneng in China, and the last one is from Xiangjiang.

Now in terms of numbers, the ratio is four to three. Zhang Yang could see a lot this time with just a little alert. The four foreigners must have reached an agreement secretly.

It doesn’t matter that the other three are from Europe and America, and the director of Little Days seems to be following their lead.

It seems that although he has an Asian face, he is actually a banana.

"Okay, let's start with the best visual effects!" Zhang Yang said indifferently.

Five minor awards were quickly announced, with the domestic film winning Best Visual Effects and Best Supporting Actor.

Next are five awards, the first of which is Best Actress.

Xu Qing was the first to suggest: "I think Song Jia performed very well, charming and determined."

Chen Deneng nodded in agreement. At this time, both of them looked at Zhang Yang. As far as they knew, Zhang Yang and Song Jia had met each other before.

Zhang Yang sat in the main seat without saying a word, holding a pen in his left hand and spinning it around.

Seeing that Zhang Yang was silent, Keneliu immediately suggested: "I think Dolores Fangz's performance is more intense."

"Indeed, Dolores's performance was more powerful, and Song's performance may have been too reserved for me to accept too much," Florian said.

The next two people are leaning toward Dolores, now 4 to 2. If Zhang Yang doesn't object to the Best Actress award, it will be decided.

"Director Zhang, what do you think?" Xu Qing asked aloud.

"I abstain." Zhang Yang said.

Zhang Yang's words exceeded everyone's expectations.

Everyone thought Zhang Yang would object, but he actually abstained from voting.

Dennis then shrugged and said, "Do we still need to vote?"

"Of course, the necessary procedures cannot be omitted." Zhang Yang said affirmatively.

"Those who agree with Dolores to be the Best Actress raise their hands." After Takita Yojiro said, four people raised their hands. Zhang Yang did not object. The Best Actress was decided and given to Dolores.

Next up is Best Actor. This time there was no one to fight. Florian suggested that his fellow German Louis Hofmann should pass at once. This 18-year-old German boy performed really well.
