During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 20 Quotation and Capturing the Bear

Early in the morning, several of the main creators gathered together and listened to Wei Jin reading the latest reports about "Buried Alive" from some German newspapers one by one. The smiles on their faces never stopped.

After the premiere last night, everyone held a lively premiere press conference, chased by reporters, which lasted for more than an hour. The atmosphere was very good.

Reporters from various countries are very curious about director Wei Jin. He can write this kind of script and make this kind of movie. Many people are ready to find different hot spots in his body.
  There is also an interview with domestic media this afternoon. There are many domestic reporters coming to the Berlin Film Festival, such as "Watching Movies", "Southern Metropolis Daily", "China Film News", "Movie Channel" and so on.

Moreover, reporters from Xinlang and Sohu Entertainment actually sent people to the scene. The questions they asked were basically what it was like to come to Berlin for the first time, what was it like to participate in the three major universities for the first time, whether you have the confidence to win the award, and about the film. some behind-the-scenes stuff
  Even though he had answered many times last night, Wei Jin still had to answer again and again.

After finally seeing off the reporters, several main creators also gathered in Wei Jin's room to talk about their experiences of the trip to Berlin and their expectations for winning the award.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't shy away from it, sitting next to Wei Jin like a little daughter-in-law. Several other people were not surprised by this. This was normal. What director didn't have some romantic affairs? Moreover, Wei Jin is young and handsome, so it’s not certain who will suffer.

"Wei Jin, what do you think about the copyright deal for "Buried Alive"?"

The speaker was Teacher Jiang Wei. As a producer, he has also met with a large number of film producers in the past few days, but the results were not very good.

However, since the premiere last night, the situation has improved, and several film studios that we had previously contacted began to increase their offers.

"What's the price now?"

Wei Jin asked casually:

"The total quotations from interested film studios currently exceed US$130 million."

Jiang Wei was a little excited, and several others also looked happy when they heard this.

"No, don't worry, we'll wait for the final result."

Wei Jin thought about it and replied, after all, after the movie wins the award, the value of the copyright will increase significantly, especially for a small-budget movie like "Buried Alive", the scene is extremely simple, and the adaptation value is huge.

“But if I don’t win the prize, the price may not be as good as it is now.”

When Chen Zhiming said this, he was a little disappointed, but as a professional manager, it is right to be rational and give up when things get good.

"It's okay. You don't have to think too much. The cost of the movie is limited, so you can make money no matter what."

Wei Jin doesn't care about this little money now.

"And I am confident that I will win the prize with a high probability. You must also be confident."

After hearing Wei Jin's words, several people nodded as they recalled the popularity and media praise they received after last night's premiere.

Gao Yuanyuan on the side saw Wei Jin's confident look, and her beautiful eyes were even more brilliant.

A few people chatted about their views on other shortlisted films, and then left after a while.

After several people left, Gao Yuanyuan immediately sat astride Wei Jin, her eyes blurred and obviously a little emotional.

Excellent men are indeed fatally attracted to women. What can Wei Jin do? With a beautiful woman in my arms, I can only stay with her until the end.

In the past few days, apart from having fun with the beauty Hu Tiandi in the room, Wei Jin also attended the premieres of other shortlisted films. Chen Zhiming and Jiang Wei wandered around the major judges, trying to create some advantages for the film to win awards.

March 2, 15 am.

In Wei Jin's room, the five members of the "Buried Alive" crew gathered here, waiting for something.

"Why haven't you been notified yet?"

Chen Zhiming walked back and forth in the room, the anxious look on his face clearly evident.

Wei Jin looked at a few people. Although everyone was pretending to be calm, the atmosphere was still a bit tense, so he comforted him:

"Don't worry, we will definitely have awards." The judging process of the Berlin Film Festival is on the last day of the film festival. The organizers gather the judges in a villa in the suburbs to select the final results.

The inside and outside of the villa were isolated, and the judges were not allowed to use communication tools. After discussing the final award results, at 6 p.m., on the eve of the awards ceremony, the police escorted the judges to the Film Palace.

If there is not much controversy, the award results will usually come out in the morning, and the organizing committee will notify the winners to attend the evening awards ceremony.

And if you don't receive the invitation notice from the organizing committee before this afternoon, then everyone can get out. It's already ten o'clock, and everyone will become more and more anxious as time goes by.

When everyone was silent, the phone rang, and everyone held their breath.

Wei Jin paused for a moment and picked up the phone:
  "Um, okay, thank you, bye."

After saying that, he put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief:

"We've been invited to the closing ceremony."

Everyone cheered when they heard this, because it meant that there was a high probability of winning the prize.

"Okay, let's eat first and dress up on time for the award ceremony in the evening."

Gao Yuanyuan will also attend as Wei Jin's female companion.

In fact, from the penultimate day of the film festival, some minor awards have already been awarded, such as the Youth Forum Award, the FIPRESCI Award, etc. Wei Jin was shortlisted for the main competition unit, so he didn't pay much attention to other units.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, the entire cast of "Buried Alive" dressed in costumes walked onto the red carpet in front of the Cinema Palace amidst the shouts of fans and the jabs of reporters.

The starlight on the red carpet at the closing ceremony was much dimmed because all the crew members who were not invited had already left. It was freezing cold and everyone walked on the red carpet very quickly. This is why actresses love to go to the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival more. He, the weather is nice.

Entering the hall, it was crowded and bustling. Everyone found the location of the crew and started to sit down.

Next to them is the crew of "20 30 40" from Wanwan. Director Zhang Aijia has arranged it carefully. There are only two Chinese-language films shortlisted this time.

The three major European film festivals do not have a nomination for Best Actor and Actor. Generally, films shortlisted for the main competition section are qualified to compete for Best Actor and Actor by default. So if someone says that a certain star has been nominated for Best Actor and Actor by the three major European film festivals, That must be a layman.

Qin Hao also hopes to win the best actor this time, so he becomes more and more nervous when the end comes.

As all the guests arrived, the awards ceremony officially began. After the host's opening remarks, the festival chairman Koslik also came to the stage to deliver a speech, and the official awards ceremony followed.

At the beginning, some small awards were awarded, such as the Short Film Award. Different from the evening awards ceremony, the three major European award ceremonies were very simple. There were no singing and dancing performances, and it was just a simple commendation ceremony. So there were many awards awarded, but it was actually very simple. Fast.

After the host came on stage, the American actor Frances McDormand, the chairman of the jury for this film festival, led several judges onto the stage, and the awards ceremony for the main competition unit officially began.

After a series of winning lists, Wei Jin finally heard his name.

"The recipient of the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award at this film festival is the screenwriter and director of the film "Buried Alive", Wei Jin."

Hearing the words of the award-presenting guest, the group was filled with joy, and Gao Yuanyuan also had a look of surprise and admiration.

"Xiao Wei, congratulations. I knew you would definitely win the award."

Gao Yuanyuan sounded a little excited. This temporary partner won the Silver Bear Award when he was less than 21 years old. He must be the first person in the country. He is really talented.

"It's a pity that this man doesn't belong to me yet."

Wei Jin was not pretentious. After hugging everyone one by one, he strode towards the stage.

　This is the first time a new author writes a book. I beg you to collect, follow, read, and recommend. Thank you all. This is the first time a new author writes a book. I beg you to collect, follow, read, and recommend. Thank you all.

　　I don’t like odd numbers, so I’ll update three times today.
