China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

"Actually, I am still a student who has just entered college. I would like to thank my school, Huaxia Jingcheng Film and Television Academy. No school lent us the equipment. I think our shooting costs would not be enough.

Thanks also to Jiang Qinqin, Duan Long, Sun Honglei and other actors for their wonderful performances!

There are many people who have helped me along the way, and I really appreciate them sincerely, thank you! "

After Wu Yuchen finished speaking, he bowed slightly, then raised the medal in his hand to show it, showed a high-spirited smile, and walked off the stage amidst applause.

Returning to her seat, Jiang Qinqin's little face flushed with excitement. After Wu Yuchen handed the medal to her, she held it in her hand and kept looking at it, as if she wanted to write down every pattern of the little golden bear on it.

The short film unit is actually just an appetizer for the awards ceremony. The real highlight is the main competition unit at the end.

The Best Actor Award was won by Sean Penn, the actor of "Death Row". Then, just as Wu Yuchen remembered, the Best Director was won by the mainland production team "The Sun Has Ears", and the Golden Bear Award for Best Film was naturally given to Li An of Sense and Sensibility.

The Chinese crew has really become the big winner this year. The Golden Bear and a Silver Bear in the main competition, plus Wu Yuchen’s short film Golden Bear, it can be said that half of the limelight of this year’s Berlin Film Festival was stolen by Chinese directors.

That night, at the celebration reception held by the film festival, all the Chinese people gathered together, including the judges Xu Anhua and Chen Chong.

This time everyone's attitude towards Wu Yuchen was much better. After all, whether he won the award or not is really two different things.

Xu Anhua and Li An even asked Wu Yuchen if he wanted to develop outside the mainland, and they could provide some help.

Wu Yuchen thought of Huang Bo's words again, that after becoming famous, he would be surrounded by good people. Although he only won the short film award, the potential he showed was enough for everyone to be optimistic about him.

Wu Yuchen didn't refuse outright, but said that he was only a freshman now and still needed to study. When he had a chance to learn well in the future, he would go out and experience it.

Li An, Xu Anhua and others all smiled, and then left business cards and other contact information for Wu Yuchen.

Although the Berlin Film Festival has come to an end, it is not the end for the films participating in the awards ceremony this time, as the highlight of the awards will still be in the next few days.

The next day, Wu Yuchen sat across from a middle-aged white man in a cafe.

"Congratulations, Wu! I knew "Che 44" could work, it's great!"

"Thank you, Mr. Havertz."

"Wu, I think you also know my purpose. Make a price, I want it."

"Mr. Havertz, what price are you willing to give it?"

Havertz obviously already has a plan: "$80,000, global TV and theater screening rights."

This price has doubled from before the award ceremony. Wu Yuchen secretly said that the awards can be directly exchanged for real money.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said:

"Mr. Havertz, do you know? During the screening of "Che 44", I communicated with audiences from many countries, including Europe, America, Asia and even Australia. They told me something like this Incidents of car bandits and collective silence actually happen in the local area where they live, and some people have even experienced them personally. Only a few are truly brave."

Havertz said nothing, waiting for Wu Yuchen's next words.

"I think you should understand what this means. My "Che 44" is very international. If you take it to any region in the world, it will make people feel immersed in it, because it is likely to be there all the time. Happening around you!”

Obviously, what Wu Yuchen means is that my short film has an absolutely wide audience. It is not comparable to other themes. If you want it, you have to pay more.

"OK, Wu, please tell me your expected price." Havertz spread his hands.

"$150,000."

"Oh no no no, this is obviously an impossible price!" Havertz reacted fiercely.

Wu Yuchen calmly stirred the coffee in the cup with a spoon and said:

"Relax, Mr. Havertz. The price is very reasonable. The gimmick of Berlin's Best Short Film Golden Bear is worth 100,000 yuan in promotional fees. And this is TV and theater channels combined. I know your income channels are very wide. "

In Europe and the United States, short films can not only be sold to TV stations and broadcast at a profit, but these film companies will also make short films into collections and broadcast them in independent theaters.

Don’t think that no one is watching. The person in charge of the International Short Film Company once said that the short film collection has excellent box office performance and can earn millions of dollars in the box office in the United States. It ranks highest at the 27th place in the box office of independent theaters. And that's just box office revenue in the United States.

"Hey! Wu, I admit that "Che 44" is a very good short film, but we will not pay $150,000 for a short film. This is too high!

The most I can give you is 100,000, which is already the highest price I have ever offered for a short film! Havertz shouted.

Wu Yuchen would be stupid if he believed his lies, but he also knew that this was an era when channels were king, and channel dealers were the easiest industry to make money.

After some bargaining, the two parties agreed on a price of US$120,000 and sold the global TV and theater screening rights of "Che 44".

To be honest, the price is already much higher than what Wu Yuchen expected before he came.

After the two people negotiated the deal, Havertz smiled at Wu Yuchen and said:

"Wu, you are really different from many Chinese people I have come into contact with. You are very confident and know more about the European and American world."

Wu Yuchen raised his lips: "Maybe it's because I'm younger. Young people are always confident, right?"

"Hahaha!"

After finishing a cup of coffee, Wu Yuchen casually asked:

"Haverts, are you interested in the rights to adapt "Che 44"?"

Havertz smiled when he heard this and asked: "Oh? Hasn't anyone approached you to negotiate the adaptation rights?"

Wu Yuchen kept his expression and just smiled: "Yes, but I want to see if there is a more suitable buyer."

Havertz shook his head: "Wu, I'm sorry, our company is only responsible for the short film business. I don't think we are interested in the adaptation rights."

"That's such a shame."

Wu Yuchen sighed, and then asked:

"If you look at it from your perspective, how much is the adaptation of "Che 44" worth?"

Havertz squinted his eyes, thinking that he couldn't get the adaptation rights anyway, so he might as well tell the truth and make friends with the young director in front of him.

"Wu, I can't judge the specific price. But from my personal point of view, I think if "Che 44" changes the background to the American West and the style to a cult film, I think some viewers will be very interested."

Wu Yuchen nodded after hearing this, and then showed a sincere smile: "Haverts, thank you for your advice!"
