“congratulations.”

Jin Hanmin handed the trophy and certificate to Lin Ran, and blessed him in English with a smile

“Thanks.”

Lin Ran also thanked in English.

Then he gave a simple acceptance speech and left the stage.

Just as he was about to return to his seat, he was reminded by the staff that he had to be interviewed by reporters backstage.

The reporter who interviewed was from CCTV Movie Channel. A female reporter about 26 or 27 years old

“Lin Ran, first of all, congratulations on winning the best director.”

“Thanks”

“How are you feeling now?”

“I am very excited and thank the judges for awarding this award to me.”

Lin Ran pretended to be excited against his will.

“Lin Ran,”The Genius” has achieved very good results in many overseas countries. What advice do you have for other directors?”

“The biggest advice is of course to make good movies, that’s the most important thing.

Secondly, if Chinese-language films really want to go global, they must make more subjects without cultural barriers.

For example, in the story”Genius Gunman”, there is no barrier in Asia.”

Lin Ran sincerely put forward his suggestions.

“Make more movies without cultural barriers? Chinese films should be more based on China.”

“You are right, this is a problem faced by filmmakers in every country in the world.

Therefore, only Hollywood special effects blockbusters can sweep the world.

One is because their production level is very high, especially the powerful special effects.

Second, the content of the movie can be understood by audiences from any country. Lin

Ran replied with a smile.

“OK, thank you for the interview.”

After the brief interview, Lin Ran returned to the award ceremony hall. At this moment, the winner of the last award was already giving a speech.

As Lin Ran expected, the best film award was awarded to Yilang’s movie”13″.

The award ceremony ended Afterwards, Lin Ran opened his phone and looked at it, and received blessings from many people.

Tong Liya also sent congratulatory messages and invited him to have dinner together.

Lin Ran thought about it and said that he would attend a film forum tomorrow morning, so He asked her to have lunch together.

Before he left the theater, his cell phone rang.

Lin Ran looked and saw that it was Jiang Zhiqiang’s call.

“Lin Ran, congratulations on winning the Best Director award at the Shanghai International Film Festival.”

As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Zhiqiang’s Hong Kong call came over.

“Haha, Mr. Jiang, what I won was only the Best Director at the Asian Newcomer Award, not the Best Director at the Golden Goblet Award. Lin

Ran corrected with a smile.

“Haha, with your talent, it will be a matter of time.”

Jiang Zhiqiang laughed.

After chatting for a while, he said:”Lin Ran, I wonder what activities you have next? If not, I’ll treat you to a meal”

“OK, I happen to be a little hungry. Lin

Ran knew that when Jiang Zhiqiang came to see him, he must have something serious to discuss, so he did not refuse.

“Haha, then come to Tang Pavilion. I have ordered a sumptuous meal and am waiting for your grand prize.”

“Okay, see you later. After hanging up the phone, Lin Ran said to Gu Linaza and the others:”Jiang Zhiqiang and I have something to discuss. You can go back by yourselves.””

All three of them nodded.

Then, Lin Ran took a taxi directly to Tang Ge.

Tang Ge is a well-known Cantonese restaurant, rated three stars by Michelin. Many Internet celebrities like to check in at this restaurant, especially A place that countless bourgeoisie girls dream of visiting.

The Magic City branch is located on the 5th floor of the Langham Hotel in Xintiandi. As soon as Lin Ran got off the car, he saw Jiang Zhiqiang personally greeting him downstairs.

“Mr. Jiang, we are all old acquaintances, there is no need to be so polite. Lin

Ran quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Jiang Zhiqiang.

“Haha, you are a guest.”

Jiang Zhiqiang laughed.

Lin Ran smiled. He naturally knew why Jiang Zhiqiang was so enthusiastic about him. It was just that”Genius Gunslinger” was very good at the box office in many regions in Asia, making him a lot of money. So he wanted to deepen the relationship with him.

With his own relationship, he can also get some overseas copyrights for his movies in the future.

Jiang Zhiqiang booked a private room in Tang Pavilion for the two of them to talk.

After sitting down, Jiang Zhiqiang was not in a hurry to talk about business, but chatted with Lin Ran while enjoying the food.

“Lin Ran, try this fried lobster with three onions. This is Tang Ge’s signature dish. It’s particularly delicious.”

Lin Ran tasted it and found that it tasted really good, so he started to enjoy the meal.

When he was almost done eating, Jiang Zhiqiang said:”Lin Ran, I will buy out the overseas rights to your new film”Charlotte Troubles” for 10 million.”

“Mr. Jiang, if it were anyone else, I would agree, but you and I cannot agree. Lin

Ran put down his chopsticks and shook his head at Jiang Zhiqiang.

Jiang Zhiqiang was taken aback and said in astonishment:”Lin Ran, where did I offend you?””

“No, it’s because I consider you a friend that I don’t want to see you lose money. Lin

Ran waved his hand with a smile and said:”Mr. Jiang, although”The Genius” has achieved very good results overseas, to be honest, the movie”Charlotte” is too Chinese and is almost useless. What kind of box office may it achieve overseas, and if it is bought out for 10 million, it will 100% result in a big loss.”

In fact, the country with the highest overseas box office of”Charlotte Trouble” is Australia, which received 440,000 US dollars, about 3 million yuan.

In other regions, the box office almost did not exceed 100,000 US dollars.

Not to mention making money, the total box office The total amount was less than 5 million, and the amount given to him was even less.

Seeing Lin Ran’s sincere look, Jiang Zhiqiang believed it and said with a smile:”Lin Ran, I have made you a friend.””

“It seems that Mr. Jiang didn’t consider me a friend before. Lin

Ran joked

“Haha, don’t you also talk about Mr. Jiang? Let’s do this. I’ll give you a big favor. From now on, I’ll call you Ranzi, and you’ll call me Brother Qiang.”

“Okay, then I will call you Brother Qiang.”

Lin Ran agreed with a smile.

Before he became a world-famous director, Jiang Zhiqiang was undoubtedly a very good partner.

Through his channels, the film could be distributed to many countries in Southeast Asia.

This is why Lin Ran didn’t cheat. Jiang Zhiqiang’s reasons

…… the next day.

At ten o’clock, the director forum officially begins.

The biggest director attending this time was Feng Dapao. In addition, there were also well-known directors such as Zhang Yibai.

“Director Feng, domestic films have developed rapidly in the past two years, with thousands of films produced every year. However, many film critics and industry experts have criticized most of these films as garbage. What do you think of this?”

The host first asked Feng Dapao.

Who is Feng Dapao the most famous director on the scene?

Who would have known that Feng Dapao suddenly became like an angry lion, spewing wildly:

“I think the reason why there are so many garbage movies is related to the large number of garbage viewers.

It is precisely because of the large number of garbage viewers that these garbage movies have room to survive.

If there are no garbage audiences to support them, then the producers will not produce these garbage movies.

And if you look at these rubbish movies, their box office is often very high, higher than many serious movie makers. This is an insult to real filmmakers.”

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone was dumbfounded.

The host was also full of astonishment. She knew that Feng Dapao’s words would cause huge controversy, but she did not dare to interrupt.

After the cannon was fired, the host looked at Lin Ran:”Director Lin Ran , what do you think about this problem?”
