China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

You know, the three major European awards are not just used for awards. Every year during the awards season, this is the largest trading place for global film producers.

Buyers and sellers are taking advantage of this time to look around.

Even domestic China Film and Television can often see it.

Hu Qingquan said that he had talked with the film producers he had hired in the past few days, and almost all of them were interested in the adaptation rights of "The Tuner". Now that they have been shortlisted, the price has also gone up.

Lu Pingan was not surprised by this. "The Tuner" was already very suitable for adaptation, and it was normal for these people to like it.

When it comes to selling short films, they actually don’t sell much. Just like in China, they can’t go to theaters, so there are few sources of income. At most, the TV station pays about a hundred yuan for a broadcast, so the economic value of short films is actually very low.

Fortunately, "The Tuner" has an advantage in this aspect. Others make short films almost to generate electricity for love. "The Tuner" may be able to sell for as high a price as a big movie.

But the strategy is still the same. It will open in a few days, show it first, and then sell it after the awards are over.

As for how much it can sell, Lu Pingan's idea is to sell as much as he can for the rest except domestic ones. Anyway, the cost is less than 100,000, which is only 10,000 euros. If he can sell 50,000 euros, he The cost and air tickets are all recovered, and after tax is deducted, you can still make a lot of money.

When we arrived at the place, we met Teacher Hu’s lover, and then we had local specialties together, which was beer and sausages, all kinds of sausages, not bad.

In the afternoon, Lu Pingan and Hu Qingquan went out again and met Director Xie Fei.

Director Xie Fei recognized Lu Pingan and wished him the award.

Lu Pingping expressed his gratitude and stayed in Berlin in the following days.

As the opening ceremony on February 6th gets closer and closer, more and more film producers and filmmakers from all over the world are coming.

Hu Qingquan, who is an academic, seems to have few works in hand, but he still has many friends.

Lu Ping'an was led by Hu Qingquan and got to know filmmakers from all over the world.

After the opening, there were more and more familiar filmmakers, such as Zhang Zhen from Wanwan. He participated in "Love You, Love Me" directed by Wanwan director Lin Zhengsheng. The heroine was Li Xinjie. She also came, but she just followed her. Lu Pingan didn't like the person named Dai behind him, so everyone except him chatted for a while.

Then there are the creators of Wang Xiaoshuai's "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle".

If Hu Qingquan and Lin Zhengsheng are just acquaintances, then they are true friends with Wang Xiaoshuai.

The two came to Berlin together. Wang Xiaoshuai is very busy these days, because his "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle" has been spotted by many film producers, and he is busy talking about business deals, so Lu Ping'an has not seen him until now.

Wang Xiaoshuai already knew that "The Tuner" had a high evaluation, so he was very enthusiastic when he saw Lu Ping'an, whom Hu Qingquan called his favorite disciple.

But half of Lu Pingan's attention was on the girl behind him.

Gao Yuanyuan, well, her eyes are really big, she is young, and she is so pure. I never expected that this person is actually good at wielding a hoe.

This girl should be getting together with Zhang Yadong now.

Pity.

So Sister Yuanyuan became the cold Miss Gao Yuanyuan.

"Hello, Miss Gao Yuanyuan, I am Lu Ping'an."

"Hello, are you really just a freshman?"

Gao Yuanyuan's big eyes showed a little disbelief.

"No, I don't look that old."

"No, I mean you were only a freshman and your work was shortlisted for Berlin. You are really amazing."

"It's all luck."

Lu Ping'an said modestly.

"You are very humble. You have already been shortlisted, so you should be more confident in case you win the prize."

"Then I accept your good advice."

Lu Ping'an didn't talk any more, but then Gao Yuanyuan suddenly asked: "Did you go to Yungang Middle School before?"

safe trip:"?"

Lu Pingping searched his memory carefully.

It seems that it is true that the original owner studied there in junior high school.

"Did you study there too?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and explained, "Yes, I also went to junior high school there, so I have an impression of you."

"Is it impressive?"

Lu Ping'an was puzzled. The original owner was such an introverted guy. He had never done anything out of the ordinary since he was a child. Apart from learning a year earlier than others, he was always low-key and powerful. How could this actually impress Gao Yuanyuan?

At this time, Gao Yuanyuan explained: "At that time, I was in the third grade of junior high school. I didn't study very well and was always being scolded. The teacher used you as an example, saying that class 1 and 1 had a safe journey. I asked for sick leave every three days and could attend half of the classes in one semester. Thank God, but he was always in the top three in the exam. I wish you were half as smart as him, so I remembered this annoying name at that time, Lu, Ping, An!"

Gao Yuanyuan said she was disgusted, but she was very happy as a whole, as if the damage caused by her memory had long since dissipated, leaving only nostalgia.

"Well, all I can say is I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

"I no longer blame you." Gao Yuanyuan asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better now? You used to be so thin that you felt like you could fall apart if the wind blew."

"I'm feeling much better now. I'm currently working out."

Lu Ping'an raised his arm and showed off his biceps. Unfortunately, although he was better than ordinary people internally, he was still very thin on the outside, with only a few kilograms of meat.

So Gao Yuanyuan burst out laughing when she saw this.

"Thinner than me."

"It will be strong soon. It is undergoing secondary growth recently."

"Alright alright."

"Don't believe me? You won't recognize me in a few months."

"Okay, I believe it..."

The two then chatted for a while and then exchanged numbers.

The two parties separated only when something happened on Wang Xiaoshuai's side.

Looking at the walking figure, Lu Pingping still feels magical.

Originally, for Gao Yuanyuan, he probably just wanted to meet Gao Yuanyuan by chance, but he didn't expect it to unfold like this.

He was suddenly curious whether there would be any other surprises in this body in the future.

Time flies so fast, and once the Berlin Film Festival started, everyone couldn’t get enough of it.

Lu Ping'an and Zhang Songwen took advantage of this time to watch a lot of movies.

I have watched popular movies such as "Drug Network" and "Intimacy", and I also watched "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle".

When the short film started to be screened, Gao Yuanyuan and the others also came to support her. She felt that although Wang Xiaoshuai said that the film was good, she still felt that it was a scene. After all, it was a short film, and as a college student's debut, there were not many elements that could arouse the audience's interest. .

So she thought that if no one applauded when "The Tuner" was played, she would help wave the flag and cheer.

However, after the short film came out, the situation was completely beyond her imagination.

"The Tuner" gained huge attention.

Lu Ping'an also overnight became one of the directors who was always mentioned throughout the film festival.

What followed was Lu Pingan's first interview.

It's a pity that his English is average.

"Yes, well...I...what about that, Lao Hu, please translate."

Not being good at foreign languages ​​has many advantages. Lu Pingping found a chance to escape without saying a few words.

Then the news that made him happy came. It was news from Hu Qingquan that the quotation for the adaptation rights of "The Tuner" had risen to an astonishing 30,000 euros. This price was extremely high among short films, and it was only Those in one region of Europe, North America, East Asia and other places are not included.

The highest bid was US$100,000, from a company in India, which made Lu Ping'an feel a little flustered. . .

But whether to sell or not, the final strategy remains the same, wait until the awards are over before selling.

Just like Gao Yuanyuan said, what if you really win the prize?

"I never thought you were so talented."

During the interval, Gao Yuanyuan praised Lu Ping'an when she met him.

"Senior sister, if you can talk, just talk more. I like to hear it."

Lu Ping'an was already familiar with her, so there was no obstacle to joking.

And these words made Gao Yuanyuan unable to stop laughing again.

"You talk so funny."

"That's what everyone says."

"Supreme Treasure, you?"

"I am Qin Xianglin."

"Poor mouth!" Gao Yuanyuan cursed with a smile, and then asked, "How did you come up with this idea? Did the protagonist die in the end?"

"what you think?"

"I think he's probably not dead..."

The two chatted again.

But we didn’t chat for long before Hu Qingquan came over and brought good news.

Hu Qingquan said excitedly: "The organizing committee invited us to attend the award ceremony."

At the awards ceremony, films that enter each module can usually attend, as well as well-known filmmakers and media from various countries.

But there is a tacit unspoken rule. If a film is specifically notified to participate in the awards ceremony before the closing ceremony, it means there is an award waiting for you.

There are only two short film awards this time, either the Golden Bear or the Silver Bear.

So after repeated confirmation, Lu Ping'an couldn't hold back his excitement.

Originally, he had given up hope. After all, Director Xie Fei said not to have high hopes.

It turned out to be a real prize.

This really surprised him.

Gao Yuanyuan also sent her blessings immediately.

"Congratulations, you won an award on your debut. You are going to be famous."

Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Hurry up and wish me a golden bear."

Gao Yuanyuan smiled again, and then said solemnly: "Then I wish fellow student Ping An a golden bear award and a fruitful return!"

"Thanks!"

Everyone was very happy. Fortunately, Hu Qingquan still stayed awake. His student won the award. The teacher was even more excited than the student, but he still warned: "Everything has variables, and the short film won other awards." It’s not impossible, don’t relax until the last minute.”

"I understand, Teacher Hu."

Lu Ping'an was very obedient and immediately began to calm down.

After a while, Wang Xiaoshuai also came. He was also very excited because he also received an invitation call, which meant that "Seventeen Years Old Cycling" did not win the award. This was also the case in Lu Ping'an's memory. Wang Xiaoshuai was really going to be famous this year, so The whole hotel was filled with joy.

Soon it was time for the closing ceremony to award awards. Lu Pingan specially bought a suit, which was a bit expensive. Lu Pingan felt a little distressed. After all, he wore it once and would not wear it next time because he would grow taller.

Gao Yuanyuan helped him tie his tie. It must be said that such a girl is really lethal. Unfortunately, she now only looks at Lu Pingan as a younger brother. Lu Pingan still looks thin and small, which can arouse a girl's protective desire. It’s over.

The red carpet started at two o'clock in the afternoon. Films, guests, producers, social organizations, etc. from each module were included. Even if the appearance only lasted a few minutes, there were so many people that it would take an entire afternoon to complete the red carpet process.

"The Tuner" is not a work in the main competition unit, and the red carpet time is relatively early. Although there is no distinction between high and low art, it cannot be denied that only the second half of the show attracts the most attention.
