If you were in Hollywood or even Hong Kong, and faced with requests for foreign copyrights, you would definitely be bold enough to say "BIG" and start a lawsuit. Is this something you, a new director, dare to get involved in? ! Then he immediately blasted Wu Yuchen out.

But this was in mainland China in 1995. Director Gu in front of him opened his mouth after hearing this, and then persuaded with a look of concern:

"Xiao Wu, I know 300,000 is a bit small, but you won't use your own money to put it in!

Foreign movie copyrights can be sold for money, but no one buys our movies at all! "

20,000 yuan is not a small amount, and Director Gu would have to save his own salary for two years.

As for foreign copyrights, that thing is nothing!

Director Gu, it’s not like he doesn’t know that if a movie wins an award, the copyright can be sold, but you have to be able to win it too!

In the past few years, he has heard that "Farewell My Concubine", "Sunny Days" and Zhang Yimou's films have been bought. Which other director has sold the copyright?

For a small production with an investment of 300,000 yuan, does Director Gu expect it to win a big award? Give me a break!

If the grand prize is so easy to win, can it still be valuable?

Therefore, in Director Gu's view, Wu Yuchen was looking for an excuse to fill in the "Two of Us" project.

Wu Yuchen looked serious and said sincerely:

"Director Gu, I earned these 20,000 yuan myself. I usually don't have much to spend money on, so if I invest it in the crew, I can use it well, and I feel at ease.

This movie is my hard work. If the money is gone, I can still make it again. If the movie doesn’t work well, I will regret it for the rest of my life!

And you have to have dreams. If I really win the award, I might be able to earn it all back~"

"What the...oh!"

Director Gu looked at Wu Yuchen's firm attitude and knew that these literary and artistic people were sometimes more affectionate to their own works than their own sons, so he could only sigh.

Xiao Wu really loves movies!

"Okay, I will accept this. If you can really win an award for our movie channel, I will take advantage of you!" Director Gu then said with a smile.

The purpose of the movie channel's self-made movies is to be broadcast on its own channel. They don't value the foreign copyrights of any movies at all, and the money they make is not worth mentioning compared with their advertising revenue.

And to put it bluntly, many leaders within the system don’t care whether the project makes money or not, or they say that making money is not that important to them and it cannot go into their pockets.

For example, the domestic movie box office of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" was 0, because no movie theater was willing to take it. Including the TV rights sold to the movie channel for 480,000, the total revenue added up to less than 1 million. Compared with the 3 million investment, it was lost to grandma. Home. However, the producer Kang Jianmin who advocated the filming made a lot of money, because the film won three Golden Rooster Awards, Five One Projects and many other honors in China. The loss was the studio's money, but these honors were achieved under his leadership. This is his achievement!

In the current domestic film industry, the honor of a major award cannot be measured by money.

About twenty years later, "...Measures" was released. Regarding the movie, it was written that it won the "Five One Project" award with a reward standard of 6 million yuan; and won the main competition unit award of the Academy Award, the reward standard was 2 million yuan. Yuan. This is a numerical measure of value given in official documents. It can be seen that for those in the mixed system, the five domestic awards are worth much more than the Oscar!

After coming out of the movie channel building, Wu Yuchen had a smile on his face. He had just signed that the foreign copyright of "The Two of Us" belongs to him. He didn't expect the movie's box office in the domestic market at all, so he got the most valuable part of the movie.

That night, Jingying Film Campus.

Jiang Qinqin gently shook off Wu Yuchen's hand, turned away, and pouted:

"Are you so petty? Didn't I just give it to you? How could you be so anxious?"

Wu Yuchen was puzzled: "Where are you talking about?"

"Then why do you think you don't even consider me if you want to make a movie now?" Jiang Qinqin asked aggrievedly.

When Wu Yuchen heard this, he immediately understood that it was because he had no intention of choosing her as the heroine and was getting emotional.

He held Jiang Qinqin in his arms and coaxed:

"Good Qinqin, why didn't I miss you! The first thing I thought about was you, but after thinking about it for a while, I had to bear the pain and cross you out."

Jiang Qinqin raised her head and looked at Wu Yuchen with wide eyes, full of doubts.

"Because you are so beautiful! I need to be as ordinary as possible for this role. You are so naturally beautiful that no amount of makeup can hide it. I look at you every day and am fascinated by you. I really can't convince myself to let you play an ordinary person." girl!"

Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but curl up her lips after hearing these loving words. She felt much better, but she still asked:

"I saw that in your script, it didn't say that this girl can't be good-looking, right?"

"This is a reality-themed movie, and the plot is not that complicated. I have to increase the degree of realism to make the audience think that the protagonist is an ordinary girl. Can you tell me how you look like this and make people feel ordinary?"

After hearing what Wu Yuchen said, Jiang Qinqin felt that it made sense, and then tried:

"Then who do you want to choose? Xu Jinglei, a junior? Liu Zi? Or the one from Yangzhou Opera?"

"I don't need either Jingying or Yangxi. Stop thinking nonsense, I have a serious question to ask you now!"

Wu Yuchen immediately glared and patted her butt:

"Okay, classmate Jiang Qinqin, do I have such a dirty impression in your eyes?"

"Ah? No, I just said this in a hurry, without thinking..." Jiang Qinqin defended.

Wu Yuchen pressed further:

"Humph, if you don't think about it, it means you are telling the truth!

Is that what you think of me? Then I would be really sad! "

"I really didn't mean that..."

"Then you just hate me touching you? Then I will keep a distance from you in the future!"

"I don't have it. It's too late for me to like it~" Jiang Qinqin hurriedly hugged Wu Yuchen and said.

Wu Yuchen was overjoyed, but he still said on his face: "I don't believe it, please prove it to me."

Jiang Qinqin stood on tiptoes and kissed Wu Yuchen. Wu Yuchen directly took the initiative to hug her and gave her a long and deep kiss, rubbing her into his arms. After a while, his lips parted: "Do you like this?"

Jiang Qin buried her head in Wu Yuchen's arms and hummed softly.

Wu Yuchen bit her ear: "Then why didn't you agree to me that day?"

Jiang Qinqin felt shy when she heard this, and after a moment she hummed like a mosquito:

"If I didn't go back that day, they would laugh me to death and I would be too embarrassed to live in the dormitory~"

Now that he understood the reason, Wu Yuchen knew what to do. He smiled:

"Then wait until the winter vacation, and you can go back a few days later~"

Seeing Jiang Qinqin lying in his arms without any objection, Wu Yuchen was overjoyed and kissed her face again.
