During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 21 Awards Copyright Return to China
  The Berlin Film Festival has the Golden Bear Award for "Best Film"; the "Jury Prize", "Best Director", "Best Actor", "Best Actress" and other Silver Bear Awards.

In addition, depending on the quality of the films in each session, certain awards will be added, such as the Alfred Award, the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award, etc.

What Wei Jin received at this time was the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award, which was mainly intended to recognize certain films that had outstanding artistic achievements in screenwriting, photography, soundtrack, direction, etc., but were not as good as the Best Picture and Jury Prize films.

In the more than two decades since the Berlin Film Festival was founded, this award has not been awarded every time.

Therefore, regarding the artistry of the film in terms of screenwriting, photography, techniques, etc., before the awards were awarded, many people predicted that the jury would award "Buried Alive".

As a screenwriter and director, Wei Jin is more suitable to win this award than pure photography. It can only be said that Ning Hao is a little regretful.

Wei Jin came to the stage, took the little silver bear, and walked to the speaking stage:

"Wow, she's so heavy!"

Wei Jin raised the little silver bear, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said:
  "I'm a little nervous. Please allow me to calm down."

Everyone laughed kindly when they heard this, and applause rang out again.

Standing on the stage, Wei Jin looked at the dark crowd under the stage. As a man of two generations, he didn't expect that he was still a little nervous when the end came.

After calming down a bit, I began to deliver my acceptance speech:

"Thank you. First of all, I am very grateful to Mr. Howard. He brought this film to Berlin and brought it to everyone. Thank you."

"I am very grateful to the jury for awarding this award to me. I am very happy. This is recognition of me. I will continue to work hard. Thank you."

"Thank you to all the members of the crew, especially the producer - my teacher Jiang Wei. Maybe you don't know yet, but I am a college student and am a sophomore this year."

Hearing this, the audience exclaimed, no one else, he is too young, he is still a college student.

"My teachers gave me a lot of help during the crew preparation and filming process. Of course, my alma mater Nortel also gave me great support."

"Thank you to the photographer Ning Hao. You have a share of this trophy. Thank you to the excellent actor Qin Hao. Your performance is really great."

“Finally, thank you again to the jury and to Berlin.”

Facing the applause of the crowd, Wei Jin returned to his seat. He felt that his body was sweating a lot and he was still a little nervous.

After letting everyone play with the little silver bear, he sat down and the award ceremony continued.

In the end, Qin Hao missed the Best Actor award, which was a bit regrettable. The crew of "Buried Alive" could not win other awards.

After the awards ceremony, there was an official celebration reception and some simple interviews, which was a successful conclusion to the film festival.

The next day, news spread all over the country that the debut film of a sophomore student from Nortel's directing department won the Silver Bear Award.

A large number of reporters flocked to the door of Weijin Fengliu Studio. Zhang Wen, the girl at the front desk, looked helpless because neither the boss nor the general manager came back.

Nortel also took advantage of the trend to carry forward its tradition and raised a banner:
  "Warm congratulations to Wei Jin, an outstanding student in the 02 Directing Department of our school, for winning the Silver Bear Award at the 54th Berlin Film Festival"

For a time, Wei Jin became a famous figure in the school.

"Young director Wei Jin became famous in Berlin and won a Silver Bear" - "Beijing Youth Daily"

"Chinese-language film returns triumphantly from the Berlin campaign" - "Beijing Entertainment News"

"Director Yin Xiong is only 21 years old. Who is he from the Wei and Jin Dynasties?" - "China Film News"

"The unforgettable story of a young director and a girl who kissed him" - "Entertainment News"

For several days in a row, Wei Jin appeared on the front pages of major entertainment newspapers. The media wanted to dig out all eight generations of his ancestors. Even teachers and classmates from Nortel were competing for interviews.

Photos of Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan walking on the red carpet together were also exposed, and even the relationship between the two as landlords and tenants was exposed by an unknown agency, causing many readers to automatically fill in tens of thousands of words.

It was already February 2th, and Wei Jin ignored the domestic disturbances. His phone had been bombarded with calls in the past few days, from the media, school teachers and classmates, and family and friends.

Of course, there was also Zeng Li. Sister Li didn't say anything else on the phone except congratulations and concern. But Wei Jin can still feel Sister Li's emotions. After all, the scandal has spread back to China from Berlin. The key is the scandal with Gao Yuanyuan. It is estimated that she will have to undergo some interrogation when she returns.

At this time, Wei Jinzheng and Chen Zhiming were busy with copyright transactions. On the night of the awards ceremony, a large number of film producers swarmed in.

Some people have already had the intention to buy it before, and some have not been interested in it before. In short, as soon as the movie won the award, it immediately became popular.

After two days of negotiations, all overseas rights to "Buried Alive" have been sold.

After a final calculation, the total was 654 million U.S. dollars, which converted into more than 5400 million RMB. Everyone was in a daze.

Overseas copyrights are so valuable. No wonder Chief Jia is banned in China. There are still people rushing to invest in his movies. After winning overseas awards, copyrights are easy to sell.

The best sellers of overseas copyrights are North America, island countries, South Korea and several large European countries.

In fact, it is difficult for literary and artistic films to make back their money at the box office in various countries. They can only be released after participating in film festivals and winning awards. Of course, there are generally only a few films that can win awards.

The total investment in "Buried Alive" is less than 100 million, and including various overseas expenses, it is less than 200 million. It has not yet been released in China, but has already made a net profit of more than 5200 million. It is indeed a huge profit.

Wei Jin was not stingy, and immediately decided to spend 200 million to reward the crew. At the same time, he decided not to reveal the copyright transaction price for the time being. After all, his wealth was not revealed.

The day after the copyright transaction was completed, a group of 6 people flew back to China. It was already February 2th.

As soon as they got off the plane, Wei Jin and his group were surrounded by the media. As a last resort, the group had to accept interviews.

"Director Wei Jin, what is your relationship with Miss Gao Yuanyuan? Are you in love?"

"Director Wei Jin, may I ask how you came up with the script "Buried Alive"?"

"Director Wei Jin, will the movie be released in China? I heard it is a thriller."

"."

The media's microphone was almost shoved into Wei Jin's mouth. This battle also made several others feel frightened. It was Chen Zhiming who temporarily took on the role of assistant and stopped the crazy reporters.

"Come one by one, don't crowd."

Airport security personnel also came to maintain order, and Wei Jin began to answer:

"We have only been on the plane for more than ten hours, and we are really tired. I will answer three questions today. Please don't crowd and come one by one."

"Miss Gao and I are friends. We met by chance in Berlin, and I invited her to be my companion at the awards ceremony."

"As for the script, you may not know that I was in a car accident. During the coma, my consciousness seemed to be imprisoned in a small box, so I came up with the idea of ​​"Buried Alive"."

"If it is released, it will be arranged later. It depends on the schedule. Thank you."

"Please give way, please give way."

After finally breaking free from the media siege, the group quickly left the airport and went to their own places.

Wei Jin was sitting in the company's business car, somewhat silent:

"Old Chen, please help me find an assistant. I think there will be a lot of things to do in the future. Find another time to go to China Film and Television to check out the movie release schedule."

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

Chen Zhiming also felt that he was a little too busy for one person. It seemed that the studio's airs had to be strengthened.

　This is the first time a new author writes a book. I beg you to collect, follow, read, and recommend. Thank you all. This is the first time a new author writes a book. I beg you to collect, follow, read, and recommend. Thank you all.
