If you are asked to make a graduation film, you will win the Golden Bear Award?

Chapter 111 World Young Director No.1

Offstage Cannes Film Festival invited media reporters, facing Lu Chen on stage, kept pressing the shutter.

This director Lu Chen from China.

Definitely the biggest winner at the Cannes Film Festival.

"The Thief Family" he directed won the Palme d'Or, and also produced a Cannes Best Actor.

Last year's Golden Bear winner again.

Get the Palme d'Or now.

Now he is the youngest winner in the history of the Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Award and the Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or. Not to mention in China, he is also a very explosive existence in the world.

From then on, among the ranks of the world's famous directors, there must be this director Lu Chen who is in his 20s from Huaguo.

"First of all, I would like to thank the Cannes Film Festival for its recognition of the film "The Thieves." Lu Chen had already prepared his speech, "I also thank the motherland for giving me a platform to create works, and thank the motherland for supporting the film industry..."

To the motherland, Lu Chen, that is a big thank you.

Before "Blind Well" was able to be screened in China, there were many factors, and the acceptance speech at that time also had a credit.

Then this time is even more indispensable.

Lu Chen also wants "The Thieves" to be released in China, so that the actors who participated in "The Thieves" can face domestic audiences, and let them work hard to get more feedback.

Of course, there is still hope for a movie release.

In the previous life, "A Family of Thieves" was screened in China.

And in this acceptance speech, Lu Chen also said that I am very patriotic, and I can be patriotic.

In Lu Chen's heart, he has always had a patriotic heart.

"Papa!" There was thunderous applause from the audience. A world famous director will be born at the Cannes Film Festival.

Of course, this is what the Organizing Committee of the Cannes Film Festival hopes to see. This is a win-win situation, and it will allow the Cannes Film Festival to gain more attention from the people of the world.

……

Three days later, Mercer Hotel Western Restaurant

Lu Chen and the vice president of Universal Pictures made an appointment to meet here.

After staying for a few more days, "The Thieves" also won the Palme d'Or, and Fan Wei won the Cannes Best Actor title, and achieved good results. We must give the film's main creative team a bonus and let them have a good time in the country of France for a few days.

"Director Lu, congratulations." Doug came over with a smile on his face, and took a seat opposite Lu Chen, "Director Lu, you are now a veritable great director in the world."

"Win the Golden Bear Award and the Palme d'Or in a row, and you are the youngest winner in the history of the two film festivals. Director Lu, you are already as famous as directors Cameron and Spielberg, and you are the No.1 young director in the world today."

This year's Cannes Film Festival.

Lu Chen was alone, overshadowing everyone else.

attention from all over the world.

Newspapers of the world.

AFP.

Reuters.

World-renowned newspapers are reporting on this young director from China.

Not to mention the world film newspapers, they reported heavily on Director Lu Chen, occupying the headlines of the world's major film newspapers.

Lu Chen also appeared on the cover of Time Magazine and was named the greatest director in 2004.

The reports of the world's major media made Lu Chen's popularity soar all over the world.

Before Lu Chen won the Golden Bear Award, he also became famous internationally, but not world famous.

After all, there are many directors who won the Golden Bear Award, but as the youngest winner, Lu Chen received more attention.

Take the Palme d'Or now.

Consecutive wins.

Fame is not doubled, but doubled.

The limelight is in full swing!

And there is news that this Golden Bear and Palme d'Or winner will direct a movie with an investment of [-] million US dollars, and international movie star Leonardo will play the leading role.

One hundred and twenty dollars!

Absolutely top-notch global production.

This allowed Lu Chen to get more attention, including the attention of the world's female movie stars. They got the news that there was still an important female role in the movie that had not been confirmed.

Of course the news.

It was released by Universal Pictures on purpose.

Before helping "A Family of Thieves" with public relations at the Cannes Film Festival, Director Lu also said that he can create momentum for the film he collaborated with.

Let the news out.

It was also through the use of director Lu Chen to win the Palme d'Or and become famous, so that the cooperation film can gain popularity.

The film has not been filmed, and the publicity work will be done first.

This can save a lot of publicity costs, and the publicity effect is quite good.

"Mr. Doug, you're holding me too high. If you fall, you'll have a big fall." Lu Chen was in a good mood and made a small joke.

After that, I thanked, "However, "A Thieves" can achieve good results at the Cannes Film Festival, I have to thank you and Universal Pictures for their help."

Liu Yifei on the side felt that Doug didn't praise his brother, who is a world-class director, and the world's well-deserved No.1 young director, all of which are recognized by the world media.

And in Liu Yifei's mind, Shige is the best, better than all directors.

"We are just helping a little bit. The most important thing is that Director Lu's "A Thief Family" is excellent and has won the favor of the chairman of the Cannes jury and all the judges." Although Universal Films has great influence in the world, it has strong public relations capabilities .

But it is impossible for an ordinary movie to win the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the movie itself must be excellent.

Besides, most of what Universal Films did was to let Lu Chen's identity not be treated unfairly at the Cannes Film Festival.

As for the movie "Shoplifters".

Doug and the executives at Universal have seen it.

I have a lot of admiration for Director Lu Chen's creative skills in film art in the film. The film is a big dark horse at the Cannes Film Festival, and it is well deserved to win the Palme d'Or.

In Liu Yifei's heart, she agrees with Doug's words. The movie "A Family of Thieves" is excellent, which is recognized by the Cannes judges and film practitioners all over the world.

"Almost forgot the business." Doug talked about the investment in "Inception". The process has been completed, and the investment of 4000 million US dollars has been confirmed.

Also means company.

It will cooperate with director Lu Chen's filming work.

The main scenes of the film are in China and the United States. In the United States, Universal Films must be arranged.

Doug finished the matter.

There is another matter.

"Stolen Family" overseas copyright.

Now the movie "The Thieves" has received quite a good response. In addition to the great popularity of the foreign director Lu Chen in the world, it has received a lot of attention.

That's why Universal Pictures wants to win the rights to broadcast the movie "Stolen Family" overseas.

It is planned to buy out the overseas copyright of "A Family of Thieves" for 300 million US dollars.

When Liu Yifei heard the price, she was a little shocked. It was 300 million US dollars, nearly 9000 million. This is not the box office revenue, and it does not need to be shared with the theaters. After paying taxes, it is the net income at hand.

Of course, the overseas income of "Stolen Family" will have nothing to do with Lu Chen. The 300 million US dollars belongs to the buyout of the film's overseas copyright.

In Lu Chen's mind, it was estimated that the overseas copyright of the movie "A Family of Thieves" could be sold for about 600 million US dollars. It must not be like the previous "Blind Well" priced at 500 million US dollars.

Now my status is different.

"A Family of Thieves" is also more enjoyable than "The Blind Well", and it is also more well-produced than "The Blind Well". The production cost is more than 600 million, which is almost 80 US dollars, and this is not counting the cost of the director and producer.

I didn't get the director's fee from "The Thieves", and this movie is completely owned by Lu Chen, and there is no other company's investment.

Of course, if you want to take the director's fee, the 600 million production cost of the movie "Stealers" has to be taken by Lu Chen, which is not enough.

Lu Chen's remuneration for directing and producing the movie "Inception" is 600 million US dollars, which is nearly 5000 million. In China, the film companies that can afford this director's fee can be counted on one hand.

And the movie "A Family of Thieves" has a Cannes Best Actor, so it should be able to sell for an extra US$200 million.

In the end, it should be around 800 million dollars.

Universal Pictures paid an extra 500 million US dollars, I'm afraid it has another purpose.

"Director Lu, is your movie "Let the Bullets Fly" going to be released in China?" Doug asked.

"It will be screened tomorrow, and it will be officially released in theaters in a week." Lu Chen arranged for the screening, and also to build word-of-mouth for the movie first, so as to attract more audiences to the TV theaters.

As for the screening, it must not be able to catch up.

But on the day of the official premiere, Lu Chen must be there.

"Director Lu, I think "Let the Bullets Fly" must be released overseas." Doug said, can you hand over the overseas distribution of "Let the Bullets Fly" to Universal Pictures.

This movie won't be a buyout.

Mainly bad bids.

The director is Lu Chen.

The leading actors Ge You and Gong Li are the winners and queens of the three major film festivals.

Now there is another one, the second female number Zhang Manyu, who is also the queen of Cannes.

The male number one, Jiang Wen, is also an internationally renowned director.

Zhou Runfa is also well-known internationally.

If this is to buy out overseas copyrights, the price is definitely not a small number.

Too much risk.

How about being the overseas publisher of "Let the Bullets Fly" for win-win cooperation.

Lu Chen now understands why Universal Films gave more money in "The Thieves".

It turned out that it was the idea to release "Let the Bullets Fly" overseas, "Mr. Doug has already spoken, of course there is no problem, but I will go back and ask the other two investors to talk about it, and finally I will give you Universal Pictures an answer."

Doug really didn't expect that Lu Chen was so straightforward, picked up the red wine glass, and had a drink with Lu Chen.

"Mr. Doug, there is something that I want to ask you Universal Pictures for help."

"Director Lu, please tell me." Doug said grandly, as long as it can be done, it will be done, as if he wanted to meet the international actress, as long as he said his name, he could come to Cannes by helicopter that day.

"For better cooperation between us, Mars Films wants to set up a company overseas. In this regard, I also hope that Universal Pictures can help us a lot." Lu Chen can't waste, Universal Pictures has a strong overseas network.

Besides, finding Universal Films was not because of the lack of the 4000 million US dollar investment, but because of the connections of Universal Films, which would be helpful to me.

"Okay, no problem." Doug agreed, and he didn't regard Lu Chen as a competitor of Universal Pictures, but as a partner, a competitor of Universal Pictures, or the other seven major film companies in Hollywood.

Of course, in the future, Universal Pictures never dreamed that helping Mars Films to set up an overseas company would not bring in partners, but lure wolves into the house. Since then, Hollywood has completely changed and become the target of harvesting.

Universal Pictures has also been described as Hollywood's biggest sinner by seven Hollywood film companies.

"Then thank you, Mr. Doug." Lu Chen raised his glass and signaled for another drink. With the help of Universal Pictures, setting up an overseas company will save a lot of trouble.

……

"Uncle Mo, what's the matter." After talking with Doug, Lu Chen wanted to go back to the hotel to rest. Uncle Mo, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Someone is at your door." Old Mo's eyes were still piercing, and he noticed it as soon as he got out of the elevator.

It was only then that Lu Chen noticed that there was a big blonde beauty standing at the door.

"That's not..." Liu Yifei couldn't say her name for a while, but people could recognize her at a glance. She has seen the movies she starred in, and she can be regarded as an international female movie star.

　Chapter 108 "The Closing Ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival" has been lifted. I just checked it. Li Xiaoran's background is not small. In the future, I will write less plots with her. Readers, please read it.
