Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 324 I endured it

"Forehead!"

"Oh my goodness!"

Zhang Yimou was instantly ecstatic, and the wrinkles on his face doubled.

Then he subconsciously looked at Huang Ze, "You really got it right!"

He didn't even use the word "guess".

Because he always felt that Huang Ze was not just guessing, otherwise how could he guess correctly every time?
There are not many films in history that won both the Best Actress and the Golden Lion awards. Why did he dare to make such a guess?
Obviously, there is confidence!
I then think back to the help Huang Ze gave me during the filming of Red Sorghum.

Zhang Yimou increasingly felt that his choice was right!
"Thank you!"

Zhang Yimou hugged Huang Ze.

"Okay, okay, there are more wrinkles on your face!" Huang Ze realized it and quickly distanced himself.

If it's a girl, then I can just hug her more and let her let me feel the mountains and hills.

A grown man, a grown man in his forties. Although Mr. Huang’s surname is Huang, he really is not very interested.

"Hahaha."

Zhang Yimou let go of his hand and went to hug someone else.

After all, he was the winner of the biggest award of the night, so he had plenty of time. After hugging everyone one by one, Zhang Yimou walked up with a smile and took the trophy from the presenter.

"Thank you!"

"I didn't expect Gong Li, who already won the Best Actress award, would give me such a big award."

"Thank you to the jury, thank you to the motherland and the school for your training."

"Of course, the most important thing is to thank my old classmate, Director Huang Ze."

"He is the investor and screenwriter of this film. Without him, this film would not exist. I also want to thank him for writing this excellent story and giving it to me to shoot. In fact, as everyone knows, he is also a very good director." As he spoke, Zhang Yimou raised the trophy to Huang Ze.

"Hehehe." Huang Ze smiled and applauded.

All I can say is that Zhang Yimou was overly suspicious.

I really don't want to make this film. Firstly, it takes a long time to prepare. Secondly, it is not very efficient in making money. Thirdly, I have never won the Golden Bear in my previous life, so it is not urgent enough for me. Fourthly, it does not have a very unique position in film history or domestic film history.

Nowadays, there is really no need for me to bother making such a film.

Moreover, this film belonged to Zhang Yimou in its previous life, so it is the best choice to let him shoot it.

……

As Zhang Yimou went up to receive the award, the news spread to all parts of the world through the developed communication lines.

It was early morning in the country and the news was immediately announced on the morning news.

In the film and television circles, almost everything is known as soon as working hours start, through everyone's casual chat.

When the news reached Beijing Film Academy, the teachers in the Photography Department were so happy that they couldn't help but want to go to the Directing Department to have a chat with the teachers there.

However, the teachers in the directing department were like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to express their grievances.

Anyone who can win two of the three major awards can definitely be considered a well-known director in the European circle.

There are two such people in the mainland, both of whom graduated from the Beijing Film Academy.

Unfortunately, both of them studied photography, so it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the directing department, but in fact, it doesn’t have much to do with it.

Do not!
The relationship is big.

Because of these two directors who graduated from photography classes, others began to question the quality of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. Some people with connections did not choose the directing department when they studied, but chose the photography department instead. Everyone agreed that only those who studied photography could become great directors.

Directing Department, um...

"Hey! Our directing department is the one that trains directors!" The teachers shouted in their hearts!

Once again, hopes were placed on Tian Zhuangzhuang and Chen Kai, who were the leaders in the directing department at the time.

Tian Zhuangzhuang was thinking about the script of his new film "Blue Kite" and was very, very satisfied with it. It was absolutely thought-provoking and unforgettable.

In addition, his classmates were doing well in the No. 3 university, so there would be absolutely no problem for him to get in. He felt a little more hopeful, completely unaware that this film was a turning point in his life.

At this time, Brother Chen Kai was jealous for a while, but he could no longer be jealous.

The gap is too big. They have won two of the three major awards, but I haven't even won a prize of sufficient weight among the three major awards.

I want a prize too!
As soon as this thought came up, a name appeared in Chen Kaige's mind, "Huang Ze."

If you think carefully about the development history of Chinese-language films in the three major awards, you will find that these two words are hovering in the sky like ghosts, and every film that has won the three major awards is related to Huang Ze Neng.

Even Wanwan’s films were invested by Huang Ze.

It was hard not to think about it.

"How did this kid do it?!"

After taking a deep breath and exhaling, Chen Kai lowered his head. "It seems that I still need to find someone to contact Huang Ze and ask him to invest in my film. It would be best if he could write a script for me."

"For the three big ones." Brother Chen Kai clenched his fists, "I endured it!"

America.

When Li An, who was filming "The Wedding Banquet", heard the news, a smile quickly appeared on his face.

"Director Huang said that this film will try to catch up with the Berlin Film Festival."

"Now it seems that there is great hope!"

Li An automatically thought of the rumors in the Taiwanese film circle. After Zhang Yimou won the Golden Lion Award, he believed the rumors again.

……

Huang Ze did not give reporters a chance to interview him that night. As he was not the protagonist, as soon as the closing ceremony was over, he bypassed the reporters, returned to the hotel, and lay down to sleep!
The next day, after having a meal, he excitedly found Zhang Yimou and said, "Look, I told you not to sell the copyright. Was I right?"

"How much money would we lose if we sold it in advance? Now is the time for us to make big money!"

"Let's go and sell the film!"

Huang Ze took Zhang Yimou and others to the exhibition hall of "Qiu Ju Goes to Court", preparing to start his film selling career.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Huang Ze saw an old acquaintance, George from Warner.

"Really?" Huang Ze greeted him, "Are you still using this place to look for movies?"

"Huang, are you acting?" George smiled and pointed at Huang Ze, "I came here specially to see you. Congratulations! The film you invested in won the Golden Lion Award."

"Seven million. As usual. Except for China and a few countries in Southeast Asia, we at Warner Bros. want the global rights to this film."

"It saves you, an old friend, from having to bargain with others for tens of thousands of dollars."

"No, I just like to bargain!" Huang Ze smiled, "I want to sell the copyright of Neon myself!"

"..." George's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The reason why he put down his work and rushed to Venice was also related to neon.

Someone in the company heard that Sony Columbia and Huang Ze were discussing a collaboration on "Rush Hour," and he was afraid that the collaboration would fall through, so he wanted to come over and build relationships.

Now Huang Ze refuses to sell the Neon copyright.

Could it be...

George couldn't help but start to think more.
