Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 9
Soon after everyone touched the trophy.

The final Golden Bear Award was also announced, and it was awarded to "Central Station", which Huang Xiaoming said was an old cow eating a young baby.

Huang Xiaoming on the side was dumbfounded.

He froze on the spot for several seconds before reacting.

"I won the Best Actress award, and I can also win the Golden Bear."

"Hey, Director Gu, tell me about that guy's idea. I don't think he can really win the prize."

"Tell me, can you act?"

Gu Ming was speechless.

This guy seems to be really interested.

"I think I can act even if I put on a black dot. As for gender, I can't really change my gender. As long as I can win a big prize." Huang Xiaoming is still determined.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Gu Ming could only stop the topic.

Another lifetime achievement award was handed out, and the festival came to an end.

One by one, the crew left the theater.

As soon as they walked out, the crew of "17 Years Old Cycling" was surrounded by a bunch of reporters.

Half of them have Asian faces.

The main competition unit, let alone the awards.

Just talking about this unit, all Hong Kong and Taiwan movies were wiped out, and no one got in. Naturally, they had no choice but to turn their microphones on Gu Ming, a crew member that they were not optimistic about in the first place.

In fact, they didn't expect Gu Ming to win the award at all.

The director was a freshman acting student when he filmed it.

Most of the other positions on the crew are filled by students.

Even if it enters the main competition unit, no one can take it seriously.

Facing these interviews, Gu Ming directly signaled Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and others who were eager to try with his eyes, telling them to stop talking.

really.

Reporter Wanwan buried the hole when he asked questions.

What to say: "How big a gap do you think there is between you and director Li Yu, who has won the Golden Bear twice? What do you want to say to this director who was born in a foreign country?"

If you didn't know this, you would think that Li Yu was born in the United States.

After all, his "Sense and Sensibility" created quite a buzz.

Everyone's first impression is that this is a Hollywood director.

If you answer such a question according to his words, you will fall into a trap.

It’s still a big pitfall of principled issues.

Gu Ming naturally responded to him righteously.

This made other people who also wanted to dig holes restrain themselves a little.

After being interviewed for half an hour, Gu Ming and the others finally got away.

Back at the hotel, Gu Ming made calls one by one.

"Hey, Dad, Mom, I won an award, the Jury Prize, what, you all know it? Did Xi Film Studio call you?"

"Dan Chen, are you happy for me, the jury award? Go back and celebrate."

"Dean Hou..."

The time difference between Berlin and Beijing is six hours.

It's night in Berlin.

It was early morning in the capital, when people were sleeping, but none of the people related to Gu Ming were asleep.

Have been waiting for news from Gu Ming.

After receiving Gu Ming's call, they grinned and began to fall asleep.

In fact, not only them, but people who didn't know Gu Ming also didn't have a good sleep due to this news.

After Hong Kong and Taiwan reported that 19-year-old Gu Ming won the Berlin Film Festival Jury Grand Prize Silver Bear this year, the mainland media circle also learned about the news.

Not a Golden Bear though.

But after all, the director is young!

Only 19 years old.

This is very gimmicky news.

Of course, there are too many banned films these days, and even if they are not banned and no publicity is given, there are still many films that are screened silently.

"Farewell My Concubine" is one of them.

There is still some sensitivity in the media. You have to wait until the morning after the General Administration comes to work to find out whether the film has passed the censorship and whether it has been reported before going to the exhibition.

But this has nothing to do with ordinary clerks.

In the early morning, my boss called me and woke me up from bed to write a manuscript.

Being able to send it out at that time will seize the timeliness.If you can’t post it, then it’s just a waste of time.

The time of a small clerk, is that called time?

This is an opportunity for you to make progress.

The next day, as soon as the General Administration went to work, I started calling one after another. They were all asking about a movie called "17-Year-Old Bicycle".

"Hey, why did you win another award?"

Even if it was found that the film had passed censorship, it was reported.

But can winning and not winning be the same review criteria?

Caution is the boat.

The General Administration immediately organized people to look at it again and found that there was no major problem.

Even when there are fights, they are mostly from long shots, and there are no shots of people being hit.

Only then did he return the calls from those newspapers, "I can report it."

Each newspaper office immediately sent out the articles they had prepared and published the matter in their own newspapers.

Some even reported directly on the front page.

For example, the "Chang'an Daily" in Gu Ming's hometown.

Our city's 19-year-old talented director Gu Ming recently won the Silver Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, at the Berlin International Film Festival.

He is the youngest internationally renowned director in China.

When Dad Gu was at work, many colleagues asked him with newspapers, "Lao Gu, is this your baby? I still remember that his kid was playing in our factory. He was a naughty boy. He became successful so quickly."

"A 19-year-old director has sold tens of millions of dollars. Our factory may have to take advantage of your son in the future."

"I have to train my son well when I go back and learn more from your children."

Gu Jianming is known as a popular person in the factory.

He even found that his leader's attitude towards him was getting better and better.

……

Over in Berlin, Gu Ming, who didn't know that he was making waves in the country, was laughing so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

After winning the award, the film will be sold quickly!

The European side sold the copyright directly to MK260 for US$2 million. Selling it country by country may cost a little more, but not much more. Besides, you don’t have MK2’s network of contacts!It may not be higher than this price.

In addition, if you want to get involved in the three major film festivals, especially the Cannes Film Festival, it never hurts to have some interaction with MK2.

The network of relationships must be intertwined in advance.

The rights for North America, Japan and South Korea were sold to Sony Classics, a subsidiary of Sony, for 170 million.

In other countries, this one costs tens of thousands of dollars, and the one that costs tens of thousands of dollars sells for more than 70.

That adds up to $500 million in revenue.

At the current exchange rate of 8.27, that’s a total of 200 million.

Even if you still have to pay taxes, you can get more than 100 million yuan.

Then give 800% to Qingying Film Factory, leaving more than [-] million.

The cost of more than 100 million was exchanged for so much money.

More than 20 times the profit.

This directly allowed Gu Ming to enter the ranks of financial freedom.

This number that I had spent so many years not earning in my previous life was now nineteen.

Gu Ming only felt that his whole body was light and airy.

It wasn't until I got on the plane and left the city of Berlin that I felt that my floating heart had fallen to the ground.

But unexpectedly.

As soon as he got off the plane, others praised Gu Ming again.

A bunch of newspaper reporters who had found out about Gu Ming's flight through various connections were already waiting at the airport exit.

As soon as Gu Ming and the others appeared, people crowded around them.

"Gu Ming, what made you want to make movies in your freshman year?"

What else could it be?
Mom is rich and generous.

It's just that such words cannot be said out loud. Gu Ming summed up the reason with a "dream" that was somewhat off topic.

"When I was seven years old, I watched a movie called "Old Well" at Xiying Studio. The seed of making movies and flying in the world of light and shadow was planted in my heart."

"So since I got into Nortel, I can no longer suppress my idea of ​​making movies."

"After a year of training, I finally asked my classmates to take that step."

"Now I am just realizing my childhood dream!"
