Chapter 132 Best Director
"Thanks to the organizing committee for awarding me this award, wait, let me relax. It's like dreaming, it's incredible!
Okay, thank you! I understand! I am not very honored to be able to stand on the stage and pick up this Silver Bear Trophy.
As early as last year when I was filming "Crazy Stone", I came into contact with the script of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" from our producer Zhang Ran.
At that time, it was just a very touching story that carried a corpse thousands of miles away. With our efforts together, the script was finally completed.
With the efforts of all the crew members, "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" has been completed!
Thank you, thank you for your efforts. Without your contribution, I would not have had the chance to stand here.
Here, I would like to thank Zhang Ran again, Mr. Zhao, my wife, everyone, and the motherland for the help provided by the motherland.
In the future, I will be like Mr. Zhao in the movie. No matter how difficult I encounter, I will continue to walk on the road of the movie.
As long as your mind does not fall apart, there are always more ways than difficulties. Here I will also give this famous saying to everyone here. I hope that when you encounter difficulties in the future, you can work together! Never give up!"
Ning Hao did not speak Eagle Words, but spoke it in Chinese throughout the whole process. Foreigners didn’t care much. Although the best director is very important, the highlight is still behind.
Ning Hao stepped down with the Best Director Silver Bear Trophy, and the crew of the "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" crew, the Berlin Film Festival, was basically confirmed to come to an end.
"Uncle Zhao, sorry, we will cooperate next time if we have the chance." After Ning Hao stepped down, Zhang Ran took the initiative to raise Mr. Zhao.
Uncle Zhao also knew in his heart that Zhang Ran and Ning Hao each won one award, and the other crews basically got one in one crew, and there was no reason why the crew of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" could get several at once.
If this is the case, would it be that the Berlin Film Festival was still held by Zhang Ran’s family?
There is no possibility! Berlin Film Festival, it still has to take care of Germans and Europeans.
So, the best actor who is "full of confidence" in Mr. Zhao is really nothing to do.
"Oh, don't say that, I'm happy for Director Ning Hao to win the Best Director Award.
I thought of the best actor before, isn’t that dreaming? Who doesn’t have a dream? Do you think so?
Director Ning Hao also said before that he won the award and I had a credit for it, right? I am very happy about this.
OK, OK, don't just coax me, I'm not only three or five years old.
We won two awards, which are much better than the others. How could I be unhappy! This trip was not in vain. Let’s have a drink when we go back!"
While Mr. Zhao was talking, he stuffed his hand holding the speech in his pocket.
Zhang Ran saw this action and didn't say much.
In short, this Berlin Film Festival was a complete success.
Next, the award ceremony continued. As expected, the remaining awards and "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" were gone.
The Best Actor and Actress are both European actors, and the Jury Awards are a double yolk egg, namely European Movie and Yilang Movie. In addition, the Best Picture Golden Bear Award is also a European Movie.
Judging from the results, perhaps when "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" chose the Berlin Film Festival, he was destined to miss the grand prize.
Among the three major European film festivals, the Berlin Film Festival pays the most attention to politics. There is no doubt that the current result is a kind of political correctness.
However, "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" won two awards, including the Best Director Silver Bear Award, so the purpose of this trip has been successfully completed.
After the Berlin Film Festival, Ning Hao and others chose to set off to return home immediately and prepare for "Crazy Racing".
Zhang Ran stayed in Berlin for a few more days, mainly cooperating with the Huana brothers to do the European distribution of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots".
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Zhang Ran. Zhang Ran is just a mascot for people to watch and point fingers.
Finally, with the efforts of the Huana brothers, "The Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" will be released in seven European countries, with the schedule being scheduled at the end of April, which is a movie off-season after the Easter schedule.
This is also good, with less competition and it is easy to fight for filming.
If "The Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" had a good box office in the Seven Kingdoms, it might be released in more than a dozen or twenty countries in succession.
Huana Brothers' agency fees for the release of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" in Europe are calculated based on the market size, with a large country worth 100,000 US dollars and a small country worth 30,000 US dollars.
Although Zhang Ran and Shanghai Film Festival are not making much money now, without the help of Huana brothers, the European film market is basically out of reach.
However, if "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" can have a good box office in the seven European countries, next time Zhang Ran brings his works to participate in the three major film festivals, European film companies may come to seek cooperation.
I can only say that everything is difficult at the beginning.
Zhang Ran and others have no channels of their own, so they can only take the initiative to suffer some losses.
However, the issue and buyout fee for "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" in Beimi is much higher in Australia. The overall package price of the three countries is $1.2 million, which is already a lot.
In other words, "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" has not yet been released, and relying on the foreign market alone, I made nearly two million US dollars, which is a good start.
After Zhang Ran returned to China, Ning Hao quickly took Mr. Zhao and others to start the roadshow promotional activity of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots".
"Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" scheduled in mid-March, and there are still ten days and half a month left before it is released.
But because the movie off-season is now just around the corner, domestic theater companies keep calling Zhang Ran to contact, hoping that "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" can be released in advance.
Now, Hollywood blockbusters have not been introduced much during this period, and the film market is not prosperous.
Finally heard of "Fallen Leaves Return to the Roots" participating in the Berlin Film Festival and won two "grand awards", among which Ning Hao also won the Best Director Silver Bear Award.
This has made the managers of major theaters very excited!
Best Director, what does this mean? This represents box office!
And this is another commercial director Ning Hao who won the best director, which is basically certain that no matter how bad "The Falling Leaves Return to the Roots", the box office cannot be lower than "Crazy Stone".
It is even very likely that, like "Lost in Thailand", it exceeded 200 million box office.
That's right, the cumulative box office of "Lost in Thailand" has exceeded 200 million.
During the Spring Festival, "Lost in the Road" won 170 million box office, including the 20 million box office preview, which is nearly 200 million.
This is just the first round of screenings. After more than 400 pre-screen copies entered the second round of screenings, the daily box office of "Lost in Thailand" exceeded the 10 million mark.
However, a lot of pirated resources have been circulated on the Internet, and the box office of second- and third-tier cities is not as good as the endurance of the box office. Although "Lost in Thailand" has accumulated a total of 210 million yuan, it is quite difficult to surpass the box office record of "Hero".
Some people are happy and some are worried. Although "Lost in the Road" made a lot of money during the Spring Festival, "Huo Yuanjia" released at the same time is not as lucky.
Because "Lost in the Road" is too popular, the filming of "Huo Yuanjia" was affected. Even though the scandal of stealing the box office of "Lost in the Road" was revealed, the cumulative box office is still only 79 million, which is still far from exceeding 100 million.
On the contrary, "King Kong", which was released two weeks ago, has a cumulative box office of 950 billion. Now, because there are not many new films released, the quality of "King Kong" is pretty good, so there is a good chance of achieving a achievement of over 100 million.
Chapter completed!
