Chapter 126 Kamadana Award VS Edo is Hot (Dazhang asks for a monthly ticket)

Han Ping's words made them all stunned for a moment, and then their expressions were different.

"Okay, Lao Huo is starting to stand out, and our 78th level continues to grow and develop."

Lao Mouzi looked indifferent, not to mention the previous awards, this "No One Less" just won the Venice Film Festival award last month, this is one of the three major awards in Europe, and it is also the highest Golden Lion award.

Both Guo Baochang and Zhang Huijun smiled and said congratulations. One of them is on TV dramas, the other is on teaching, and they are not related.For Zhang Huijun, the more achievements this movie has, the more famous Lu Heng is as one of the leading actors. This is Jingying's cub.

"I'm envious..." Feng Xiaoning felt a little sour. Although he won a Golden Rooster Award for "Unrequited Love on the Yellow River" this time, it belonged to the heroine Ning Jing.

"What are you envious of? You have already nominated for the Shanghai Film Festival, which is also an international film festival." Huo Jianqi said.

"Heh~" Feng Xiaoning obviously didn't like to see it that much: "This year is the fourth time. It's just going to praise the stinky feet of foreigners. Unless the standard of domestic ones is much higher, don't even think about it."

Speaking of this film festival, these directors really have a lot of problems.

Lu Heng was thinking, if you know that you will continue to act like this in the future, you should scold your mother even more.

On the contrary, Huo Jian laughed and said, "Since it's an international business, foreigners must be brought in. Otherwise, we'll play our own game. How can we expand our influence?"

Feng Xiaoning was startled, and sighed: "This is really..."

Lu Heng looked at Lao Huo with some surprise, and thought to himself, no wonder you will become the director with the most nominations in the Shanghai Film Festival in the future. This awareness is good, but... most of them are accompanying runners, only the "Life Show" in 02 won the award. As of 15, the [-]th Shanghai Film Festival was the only film directed by a mainland director, and two more were added later: "De Lan" by Dong Zijian and "De Lan" by Zhang Yu "Siberian tiger".

Compared with the directors, Chen Kaige's complexion was even uglier.

Although "Jing Ke" also won a few awards this time, they were behind the scenes after all. As for the outside film festivals...he also voted a lot, but either disappeared or was nominated to accompany him. Only Cannes won a technical award. In fact, It's an art award.

"I can't go on like this, I have to get a bigger one later." Old Chen muttered in his heart.

In the end, Han Ping waved his hand: "Don't be too busy congratulating and envious, it's a nomination for now, and I don't know what can be planted yet."

Then Wu Ziniu also came, followed by his "National Anthem" star Chen Kun.

Wu Ziniu is also from their 78-level director department, and after graduation, he was assigned to Xiaoying Studio, and he got close to them all.

While they were exchanging greetings, Lu Heng was looking at Chen Kun. Although he had met in the afternoon, this time he was at a close distance, without the casualness of the future, and he was still young and restrained, especially when Wu Ziniu introduced him to Zhang Yimou and the others, shaking hands. At that time, Lu Heng saw Chen Kun's eyes twitch slightly.

After politely saying hello, Chen Kun stood aside honestly, and suddenly found Lu Heng looking at him, Chen Kun smiled at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng walked up to him, and after shaking hands, Chen Kun said, "I heard Li Xiaoran mention you, you are really amazing."

Lu Heng smiled and said: "Leave a contact information, I like your drama very much, and I can cooperate with you when I have a chance."

Chen Kun knew a lot about Lu Heng, not only the outside reports, but also Li Xiaoran's worship-like narration. Hearing this, he was pleasantly surprised and exchanged contact information.

At this time, although he was not well-known, he also earned some money singing in the karaoke hall, but he was far behind Lu Hengbi.

After the meal, everyone went back.

Cheng Hao wanted to have a romantic relationship with Lu Heng, but this time the itinerary and accommodation were arranged by the organizing committee, and she shared a room with Su Xiaowei.

And Lu Heng shared a room with Teng Rujun.

There was nothing to say all night, and they flew back to the capital after breakfast the next day.

He fed Cheng Hao at noon and Li Xiaoran at night, and he was well fed.

Then get ready, and set off for Canada the next day.

In the previous life, the copyright of this movie was sold in Canada for $6. Lu Heng had to go.

Asked Xu Xiaodan to ask for leave. Although she was a little helpless, she learned that Lu Heng was participating in the film festival again, so she quickly approved it.

Lu Heng asked: "Do you still need to go to the director?"

Xu Xiaodan waved his hand: "Let's go!"

She couldn't say that Chen Yi asked her to give Lu Heng the green light in the future?Then this kid will not be able to turn the world upside down in the future.

Of course, Chen Yi also has his own ideas. Isn't the purpose of students studying at school is to better adapt to work in the future?He has watched Lu Heng's movie, and the precise grasp and detailed portrayal cannot be achieved by simple role fit.As for theoretical study, Lu Heng answered all the questions in several classes fluently.

What else is there to learn!

Shoot more films, even if winning the prize is a matter of chance, you can still catch a few more fish by casting a wide net, so Chen Yi happily delegated power to Xu Xiaodan. As for Xu Xiaodan's mmp, it is not within his consideration.

And after class on Monday, Liu Ting went to Xu Xiaodan's side and asked, "Teacher, how did I hear that Lu Heng is back?"

"Yeah, and then he asked for leave and left." Xu Xiaodan said without raising his head.

"Ah? Left again?" Liu Ting was stunned. He was still waiting for Lu Heng to come back to treat him, but he ran away without seeing anyone.

"His movie was nominated for the Canadian Montreal Award." Xu Xiaodan said.

There was a brief silence in the class, and then everyone was shocked. For them, the Golden Rooster Award was out of reach, but now Lu Heng is squatting like a carrot. After the Golden Rooster squatted in Montreal?

"It's not over yet?" Liu Ting murmured.

On the night of the award ceremony, there were already some scattered discussions about the awards ceremony on Sina and Tianya forums. Many netizens were curious about what kind of movie "The Man in That Mountain, That Dog", which won several awards, was. .

"Looking at the name, it should be about rural subjects, right?"

"There are two clips during the award presentation, which are from rural areas. Judging by the clothes, they are probably in the 80s."

"I don't like it, it's too dirty, I still like to watch Xiangjiang's movies, that's the fun."

"Yes, I watched Young and Dangerous recently, it was too violent, but I like it, by the way, I am the leader of Causeway Bay, if you don't accept it, come and kill me!"

"Crazy get out!"

At that time, there were still very few forum users. Later, Tianya, which was extremely popular, just announced that the number of visits exceeded [-] ten days ago.

For future generations, one hundred thousand?

People can retweet over [-] million for a Weibo post.

Even if all the forum users are interested in movies at this time, they can't afford much trouble.

What's more, users who are curious about movies are less than one-tenth of the total users, and even fewer viewers who are converted into tickets to watch.

As for Lu Heng, now he is so busy that he has to go to the bathroom in a hurry, so he has no time to go to the Internet cafe.

After coming back for more than a year, Lu Heng almost forgot about the Internet and integrated into the current rhythm of life.

Naturally, Lu Heng didn't know that there was already Lu Heng's discussion area in the forum, and he had accumulated a lot of his fans-of course, no one called it that yet.

Although the word is a transliteration of fans, it really became popular when Supergirl started in 05, and it was still spreading among young people at that time.

……

Montreal is in the southeast of Canada, next to Magnesia.

In the past, Lu Heng always had an illusion that the latitude of the country of Magnesium was comparable to that of China.Later, when I looked at the world map, I found that the southernmost part of the country of Magnesium is only equivalent to our Yangtze River Basin, and the northernmost part is similar to Mohe.

That is to say, the entire country of magnesium is equivalent to our north. As for Canada, which is further north, the benchmark is Siberia, which is further north.

"No wonder the news always said that the snow here is heavy, so it's so north..."

The latitude of Montreal is about the same as the northern part of Black Province, but it is the southeastern border of Canada.

At this time in Montreal, the daytime is better, but at night it is already necessary to wear down jackets.

The awards ceremony will be the day after tomorrow. Lu Heng and the others have six people here this time. Apart from Lu Heng, Han Ping, Kang Jianmin and Huo Jianqi, they are two employees of Beijing Film Studio. They will do exhibition promotion.

If you win an award, sell it. This was Kang Jianmin's previous proposal. In fact, Han Ping is more courageous. If it were changed to "Party A and Party B", he might insist on sharing the share, but the mild style of this movie made him He couldn't make up his mind.

After setting up the publicity stage with the cooperation of the film festival the next day, the foreign distributors who had seen the movie in the past two days had already started looking for them, but... when Han Ping heard the quotation, he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone .

Lu Heng knew that they would wait until the awards were presented before selling it, so he was not in a hurry, so he took the invitation letter as a ticket to watch the movie. He was amazed by the many essences of the uncut version.

Until the evening of October 10th, the awards ceremony will be held.

There are not many Chinese directors who have won the American Award. Mr. Sun Daolin won the "A Game of Chess That Wasn't Finished" for the first time 16 years ago, and "Border Town" directed by Ling Xiaosu's grandfather Ling Zifeng in 85, and "Border Town" directed by Chen Kaige in 86 "The Great Parade" and so on.

"The Opium War" directed by Xie Jin also won the Americas Award the year before last.

Therefore, they are also looking forward to it.

"Won the Grand Prix of the Americas—please see the big screen."

Hearing the translated words from Lu Heng's mouth, and looking at the big screen, it was not "The Mountain", but another popular movie "The Color of Paradise", a feature film directed by Persian Majid.

After conquering the Japanese and Korean languages ​​earlier, Lu Heng also won English.Compared with the first two, English is easier to learn. After all, grammar and many words have been learned a long time ago. Now as long as you master a large number of vocabulary, it is easy to grasp.

And memorizing words...it's nothing to Lu Heng at all, the speed of scanning.

Han Ping and the others were naturally a little disappointed that they didn't win the Americas Award. After all, the awards are the ones that attract the most attention. Just like last month's Venice Film Festival, apart from Zhang Yimou's "Not One Less" which won the Golden Lion Award, Zhang Yuan's "Return Chinese New Year at Home also won the Best Director Award, but the latter is far behind in terms of popularity and fame.

However, the awards were still going on, and after a while, they were finally pleasantly surprised when they heard Lu Heng's translation:
"The No. 1 Audience Choice Award is "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog"."

"It's done!" Several people were excited.

The gold content of the Audience Choice Award is not low. If the American Grand Prix is ​​the highest award of the jury, then the Audience Choice Award is the Popularity Award voted by the audience. There are three Audience Choice Awards, and this one has the highest number of votes.

Then Lu Heng came on stage - this was what they had decided before. Lu Heng's ability to speak English was the key, and as the producer and main actor, it was reasonable to accept the award.

Lu Heng in a neat suit came to the stage, received the trophy, expressed his thanks, and stepped down amidst applause.

After taking the trophy from Lu Heng, Huo Jianqi and the others were so happy that they were from ear to ear.

Sure enough, after the award ceremony, more people came to negotiate, and the price increased a little, especially when I heard that a publisher named Kazuo Fukasawa from Neon Country was willing to pay [-] US dollars to buy out the distribution rights of Neon , including Han Ping was a little moved.

But when Lu Heng was translating, he directly told Kazuo Fukasawa to think about it before replying.

Kazuo Fukasawa naturally didn't say much. After he left, Lu Heng said to Han Ping and Kang Jianmin:

"I have confidence in our movie. If it is sold for tens of thousands of dollars, I feel that it is too bad."

Han Ping mentioned it more than once in his previous life, regretting that he sold out the movie like that:
"It's not that I am an afterthought, but we didn't go to the Neon Country to see it. In fact, we only need to go around and have a look, or even ask a few people in the Neon Country to understand. This type of movie is popular in the Neon Country. Hongguo has a great market."

But at this moment, Han Ping hadn't realized this yet, and smiled wryly at Lu Heng:
"Let's not talk about foreign countries now, the domestic copy distribution is not optimistic, so far only one has the intention."

"Third Uncle, you are a fan of the authorities." Lu Heng said with a smile:
"The current situation in our country is actually similar to the neon country decades ago. Because of the busy and fast-paced work, people only want to watch some movies to pass the time, which we call 'cool' for the time being. But now In the neon country, after decades of fast pace, their economy has begun to decline, and people's work and life have slowed down, but they need this kind of warm and refreshing movie to heal."

"Healing", a word with new meaning in the future, made Han Ping and Kang Jianmin think deeply.

Lu Heng continued: "Actually, the literary film market in Neon Country is much better than ours. As early as decades ago, "Kyoto Story" and "Seven Samurai" began to slowly cultivate their audience's interest, such as This year's "Kikujiro's Summer", which was nominated for the best picture in Cannes, has a similar emotional journey to our film, and their results are also good."

Kang Jianmin looked at Lu Heng with a confused look on his face: "Then why did they only give [-]?"

Lu Heng secretly complained in his heart, no wonder many people said at that time that you knew movies but not business operations, let alone investing.
But Lu Heng wouldn't say that. After thinking about it, he said:
"I want to buy your things, of course, the cheaper the better."

Kang Jianmin was stunned, while Han Ping asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Heng said: "Take the road of splitting accounts, the more you sell, the higher your income."

"Go to Nihong to split the bill?" Han Ping frowned: "It doesn't seem realistic. Their settlement channels can trick you into finding Bei."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "This depends on your name, Third Uncle."

Han Ping was taken aback for a moment, but suddenly realized, he laughed loudly.

Huaying Group is now pinching the neck of importing and exporting movies. As long as foreign distribution companies want to enter the mainland, they can't get around it.

Lu Heng continued: "This is just the backing, but the specific operation, when I went to the Neon Country to promote the album, I cooperated with the NHK TV station there, and the newspapers such as "Xun Bao", and Universal Music is in The contacts and relationships over there can be connected to influential publishing companies, and after this combination, at least there will be no problems with big data."

"But... 50 US dollars, converted to more than [-], how many tickets must be sold over there to share the bill?" Kang Jianmin still had some doubts in his heart.

Lu Heng said the plan he had thought up a long time ago: "Let's do this, if the final distribution income is less than [-] US dollars, I will make up for the lack, but if it is higher than [-] US dollars, we will still share according to our previous investment ratio. "

Han Ping and the two were stunned immediately, staring at Lu Heng with wide eyes.

They thought a lot, but they never thought that Lu Heng would have such a plan.

"Can you make up for what's missing?" Han Ping hesitated.

Kang Jianmin also said incredulously: "That is to say, you come to find out, about a movie whose future is uncertain?"

Although they knew that Lu Heng was rich, more than 50 yuan was not a small sum.

You must know that when Han Ping first came to Beijing Film Studio a few years ago, he was doing accounts all day long, looking at how much money was in the account, how much salary was needed, and how much was left after reimbursement of medical expenses.

At the worst time, there was only 27 yuan in the account, and the factory reimbursed 40 yuan a month for the medical expenses of employees.

If it weren't for the "Party A and Party B" that made a lot of money the year before last, Beijing Film Studio would probably not be as good as Xiang Film Factory now. Of course, there is no money to invest in this movie.

Lu Heng said with a smile: "I'm pretty famous in Neon now, not to mention there is Zhang Guorong in the movie, his appeal is not low, so it's not an uncertain future."

"Besides, even if I really lose money, it's not like I don't have any profit at all, and I don't have to pay all the money myself."

"Are you really so confident in the release of this show in Neon Country?" Han Ping stared at Lu Heng suspiciously.

Lu Heng will not promise him this time, he smiled and said:
"No one knows the result of doing business, but as long as it is possible, you can always try it. Otherwise, how can there be high returns?"

These words made Han Ping, who was a little confident, once again startled and uncertain, and also a little uncertain.

Although Han Ping also had some understanding of what Lu Heng said, and the atmosphere of literary films over there was stronger, but those successful cases were still their local films.

There are also quite a few Chinese-language films that have topped the box office in Neon Country, but they are basically dominated by Hong Kong films by Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and Lin Zhengying.

And these are all commercial films, or blockbuster films with Chinese elements that most interest foreign audiences.

Of course, Lu Heng didn't think so. Although he wasn't sure whether "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" would be able to resume its glory in the Neon Country like in the previous life, it was certain that he would make money.

Because there were interviews at the beginning, in this period of neon country, people are becoming more and more indifferent, which is also a pain point for their country.

However, the emotional treatment of "The Wild Goose Passes Without Trace" in "The Mountain, the Man, and the Dog" just catered to their psychological needs. For the Chinese people, the plot that is as warm as boiled water has moved countless people in the Neon Country.

This is a cultural difference between the two countries. Chinese people think that this kind of father-son relationship is too common, and there is also caring between people, such as the father's care for the fifth wife for many years... But over there, it is rare.

Even many government departments and individual parties organized their subordinates to watch it, because this movie, in addition to feelings, also talked about a truth-dedication!
In fact, even now, if Lu Heng bought it out for [-] yuan, Han Ping and the others would definitely sell it.

Anyway, the money remains the same, who is it not sold to?

But in the future, if he made money, and it was a lot of money, he would be hated too much.

Han Ping has nothing to do with the theaters in Neon Country, but pinching Lu Heng is not like pinching grasshoppers.

After Lu Heng finished speaking, Han Ping was silent for a moment, then turned his gaze to Kang Jianmin: "What do you say?"

In the current situation, it is obvious that they are taking advantage of Lu Heng, guaranteeing a minimum of [-] yuan, even if they lose money, it will not change, but if the sale is successful, they will also go up.

There is no risk, and there is the possibility of making a lot of money, which is simply a good thing.

Kang Jianmin lit a cigarette and looked at Lu Heng in the smoke: "Have you really decided?"

Lu Heng nodded and said with a smile, "Give it a go, a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle."

Kang Jianmin and Han Ping looked at each other and laughed loudly.

At this time, they can still laugh, which proves that Lu Heng is not completely insecure, although they don't know where Lu Heng's self-confidence comes from.

Han Ping took the cigarette from Kang Jianmin and patted Lu Heng on the shoulder at the same time:

"If you have a big family and a big business, you can't be cautious."

After lighting it up, Han Ping exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "In the two years of 95 and 96, we produced 38 films a year, but there was only 200 million in the account. Where did the money come from? Find it, and ask grandpa and grandma everywhere. "

Speaking of this, Han Ping suddenly laughed: "There is another interesting thing. At that time, I found Mou Zhong for all my change, and he also invested 300 million in me. Later, this guy changed from the richest man to the first scammer. If you catch it, you won’t have to pay back the 300 million.”

Lu Heng nodded: "I've seen his news before."

Han Pingdao: "For the 300 million, I allocated 100 million to Feng Xiaogang for the filming of "Party A and Party B". There are other films waiting to be cooked. I found some money and started filming.”

Throwing away the cigarette butt, Han Ping said, "Hey, I didn't expect it to work!"

Kang Jianmin laughed, and Lu Heng laughed too.

Lu Heng knew in his heart that he seemed to be talking about the past, but he was actually assuring himself that on this three-acre land in Huaxia, if he had his meat to eat, he would have a mouthful of soup for himself.

This is actually Lu Heng's biggest purpose. As for the benefit, it is just incidental.

The next day, Lu Heng, who got his wish, took Han Ping's authorization letter and flew directly from Canada to Nihong, while Han Ping and the others returned to China.

This time when he came out of the airport again, Lu Heng chattered all the way unimpeded. When he got outside, Lu Heng immediately saw Kyoko wearing sunglasses and looking forward to it.

When Lu Heng saw her, she also saw Lu Heng, and ran to her with a smile. She wanted to hug her again after a long absence, but she hesitated when she got to her.

Lu Heng didn't have so many worries, he opened his arms with a smile, Kyoko covered her mouth and smiled, then threw herself into her arms and hugged her.

It's soft... Edo, sure enough, it's hot.

　There is one more chapter tonight, I will go to work first, thank you for your support.
