The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 19 Berlin Film Festival

The Berlin Film Festival is from February 2th to 5th, which happens to end the day before Nortel starts school.

By the time Han Jiadong arrived, more than half of the film festival had passed.

All the leading actors in Shoplifters came except the older Li Qiming.

Including Guan Xiaotong and Ma Ke, who have already started school.

This kind of good thing may only happen once in a lifetime. As long as you intend to continue developing in the entertainment industry in the future, you will definitely not want to miss it.

The person responsible for leading the team is Gao Hui, a senior executive of Huayi.

"The organizing committee has sent people to invite you several times, saying that they want to chat with you."

As soon as Gao Hui saw Han Jiadong at the airport, it was like seeing a savior.

Han Jiadong's heart moved, knowing that the thief family would not return empty-handed this time.

After nodding in agreement, he asked Gao Hui to confirm the time with the other party.

Han Jiadong has no plans to show his face in public now, but he has no problem communicating with some seniors in the industry.

Soon, Gao Hui left and returned.

"They said they want to see you now."

Han Jiadong gave Xu Qin a helpless look, then signaled to Ge You, Yang Mi and others. Before he had time to visit Berlin, he followed Gao Hui to meet with the people from the film festival organizing committee.

The other party was obviously surprised to see him so young.

In their opinion, the person who can make a movie like Shoplifters must at least be a master with rich life experience.

But he didn't expect that he was just a young man in his twenties.

But after a simple exchange, no one present dared to look down on Han Jiadong anymore.

The subsequent exchanges were all very pleasant. The content was all about movies and the real social issues reflected in the movies. No one mentioned the awards.

Not even a hint.

The exchange lasted for several hours, until dark, when a group of people reluctantly let Han Jiadong leave.

On the way back.

"Mr. Dong, there have been several offers from film studios in the past few days. Do you think you should talk to them now or wait until after the awards ceremony?"

Gao Hui asked cautiously.

Unable to be careless, he was shocked to see the prices quoted by film dealers. The quotes from Europe alone were enough to cover the cost.

This was definitely something that he and Hua Yi behind him had never dared to think about before.

Han Jiadong waved his hand: "You can figure it out yourself."

People's energy is limited, and he doesn't want to waste his time on such trivial matters. Anyway, he doesn't pay any money if he sells more or less.

But after a pause, he added: "I suggest you wait until after the award ceremony to talk."

the next day.

Accompanied by Xu Qin and Yang Mi, Han Jiadong finally had the opportunity to appreciate the grand spectacle of Europe's top film festival.

Movies from all over the world, countless filmmakers, media reporters, and tourists...

Watching Han Jiadong go from novelty at the beginning, to sighing, to contemplation at the end.

"Xiaodong, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Qin turned her head and asked.

Han Jiadong has a far-sighted vision: "I wonder whether it is because of its status as one of Europe's top three that attracts film professionals from all over the world, or because so many people come, which promotes the prosperity of the film trading market, and makes it European." The reputation of the three majors.”

Yang Mi looked confused when she heard this: "Is there any difference?"

Her voice is fresh and sweet, which is quite nice.

Han Jiadong glanced at her: "There is an old saying in China that "the fragrance of wine does not fear the depth of the alley", but in today's increasingly impetuous society, it is somewhat inappropriate. If I think that one day the film festival in China will have such a grand scene, I just want to Just trying to be yourself is not enough." The doubts in Yang Mi's eyes rose instead of falling.

Her current goal is to become famous and make a lot of money from filming.

We don’t even have a clue when we will accomplish this goal, so how can we have time to worry about the film festival?

Han Jiadong just said something out of his feelings and stopped mentioning it.

Domestic film festivals are far from even doing their best, so there is no need for him to worry about other things.

The three people in the group all speak good English. Especially Xu Qin, who grew up in a diplomat family, has no problem acting as a professional translator. With her here, I don’t have to worry about language issues wherever I want to go or what I want to do.

A few nights later.

"What? Let me go on stage to accept the award on your behalf?"

In the hotel room, Xu Qin looked at Han Jiadong in surprise.

Han Jiadong chuckled and nodded: "If I leave after attending the award ceremony, I won't be able to catch up with the start of school, and besides, I may not be able to win the award!"

But in fact, he has received hints from the organizing committee.

Shoplifters will be given a front seat at tomorrow's awards ceremony.

However, as long as this kind of thing does not become an established fact, everything is subject to change.

Xu Qin had a complicated expression: "You take it very lightly."

I don’t know how many people want to grab this opportunity to show their faces!

A few years ago, at the same Berlin Film Festival, Zhang Ziyi had to go on stage with director Zhang Yimou in order to show her face.

That time Zhang Yimou won the Silver Bear Award. As an actor, Zhang Ziyi should not have been on stage.

But not only did she go on stage, she also wore a red bellyband and went on stage with two bare arms in the middle of winter.

Even Xu Qin himself couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster after hearing Han Jiadong's words just now.

Seeing Han Jiadong's indifferent look again, she felt full of pride: He is indeed the man I like!

the next day.

Berlin Tegel Airport.

"The Ghost Story is actually a parody of Blair Witch. However, there have been many films that have tried to copy the success of Blair Witch over the years, but they have all failed without exception. Therefore, it is difficult for such films to win the favor of distributors and want to distribute them. It is even more unrealistic for me to invest millions of dollars in publicity expenses for a film with a total cost of less than ten thousand dollars according to my plan."

Before breaking up, Han Jiadong explained to Xu Qin the follow-up matters of the film.

Xu Qin was worried: "What should we do?"

Han Jiadong smiled carelessly: "Actually, this is a good thing for us. Only by not being favored can we have the opportunity to maximize our profits. The share ratio of Hollywood distributors is directly linked to the publicity and distribution costs. We can talk to them directly and they will help. We pay all the publicity and publishing expenses, so we only need to pay them a basic commission.”

"But we have no money now."

"Then take a loan!"

"How to get a loan? Our company even rents office space, and we want to borrow millions of dollars in North America..."

“Don’t do mortgages, do credit!”

"Credit?"

Xu Qin was confused, obviously still relatively new to this aspect.

Han Jiadong explained: "It's a credit loan. It just so happens that our country has a company that specializes in credit in North America. If you think it's okay, I'll ask China Film to help contact you."

"it is good!"

Xu Qin didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.

Han Jiadong couldn't help being surprised, and joked: "Don't think about it anymore? Aren't you afraid that I will sell you?"

Xu Qin's eyes flashed: "Liu Bo ran away because he owed a large debt. If you can make me willingly owe a large debt for you, then that's your ability."
