Entertainment: God-level director

After Nicholas left, Lin Ran suddenly felt something in his heart.

He immediately wrote with watercolor pens on the poster in English:

"Shortlisted for Best Short Film in Competition at Cannes Film Festival!"

Although for a short film, being shortlisted for the Cannes competition cannot increase the copyright fee much.

But at least it is a publicity stunt that proves the quality of the film.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, someone finally came to Lin Ran's In front of the booth.

This time there were two people, one in his forties and one in his twenties.

It seemed that they were in a superior-subordinate relationship.

The older man saw the notice on the poster and asked with interest:"This short film." Are you really shortlisted for the competition?"

"Yes sir, if you don't believe it, you can check it out on the internet."

Lin Ran smiled and nodded.

The older man smiled, believing that Lin Ran had not lied to him.

After all, this was something that could be easily verified.

He said directly:"I'll take a look at the content first."

"OK"

12 minutes passed by in a blink of an eye

"Was the tuner killed?"

Just after reading it, the young man couldn't help but ask

"He should have been killed."

The older man thought for a while and said

"Do you want to watch it again? Lin

Ran smiled and did not answer, but asked.

The older man shook his head,"No, I am very interested in this short film."

Are you the director of this short film? Can you call the shots?"

"Yes, I am Lin Ran, the director of this short film, and I own the copyright.

Lin Ran nodded and asked,"What is your name, sir?""

"you can call me fraser"

"Mr. Fraser, do you want full territorial rights, or do you want rights for your country?"

"I am French and only buy French rights."

Hearing this, Lin Ran roughly figured out Fraser's identity. He should be a film purchaser from a local French video website.

He continued to ask:"Do you want to buy out the French copyright, or can you share the copyright with multiple parties?"

"Of course it's a buyout! Fraser said without hesitation.

"$80,000. Lin

Ran pondered for a moment and gave a quotation.

"No, it's too expensive. I'll pay $30,000."Fraser shook his head.

"80,000 US dollars is not much at all. Mr. Fraser, if you have read the content, you should know how exciting this short film is.

Although this is just a short film, it is definitely no worse than a feature film in attracting users.

Moreover, this short film is very suspenseful and users tend not to watch it just once.

In order to know whether the tuner was killed in the end, I believe users can’t help but watch it multiple times.

Sir, are you right?

Lin Ran retorted with reason, and finally asked the young man unexpectedly.

The young man didn't expect Lin Ran to ask him, so he nodded subconsciously:"Yes, I can't wait to see you now."……"

Before he could finish speaking, Fraser gave him a sharp look.

The young man realized that he had said the wrong thing and shut up immediately.

Lin Ran smiled successfully,"Mr. Fraser, look at your companion as the best example."

"Although this short film is indeed fascinating, it is a short film after all.

Well, let me add another ten thousand dollars!"

Fraser raised his offer

"$75,000!"Lin Ran returned the offer.

The two continued to bargain, and finally settled at $60,000.

They signed the contract on the spot and paid by check.

"Finally got my first deal, and it was still $60,000!"

Lin Ran looked at the check and felt happy.

"Lin Ran, has the copyright been sold to one family? How many were sold?"

Zhao Qiang from the booth opposite came over and asked.

"$60,000."Lin Ran didn't hide it either.

"The rights to just one country were sold for $60,000?

Zhao Qiang said in shock.

Lin Ran nodded:"Yes, it was bought by a local French film company." I saw you sold a house before?"

"I sold it to a local French film company, but it only cost $50,000.

You are still awesome, a short film of more than ten minutes actually sold for 60,000 US dollars."

Zhao Qiang was envious.

"Haha, maybe the other person is stupid and has too much money. Lin Ran smiled.

"……"

Zhao Qiang was speechless, and then went back with his hands behind his back.

Next, film dealers came to the door every ten minutes, but not many transactions were made.

Because many film producers are only willing to pay $20,000 to $30,000, so naturally they can't reach an agreement.

Of course, Lin Ran didn't know how to adapt.

For countries with developed economies and large populations, copyright fees are naturally more expensive, requiring at least US$50,000 to complete a transaction.

But for those countries with only a few million people or very backward economies, Lin Ran can also sell them for $20,000 to 30,000.

In the blink of an eye, it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and the trading hall was closed.

Lin Ran checked it and found that it had been sold to 14 countries for a total amount of US$530,000.

Lin Ran was quite satisfied with this.

A short film of more than ten minutes, the sales volume in one day exceeded 500,000 US dollars, what else is there to be dissatisfied about!

You know, Zhao Qiang's 110-minute feature film only sold $90,000, which shows the popularity of"The Tuner".

But if you think about it carefully, it feels normal, because"The Tuner" is very watchable.

Its appeal to audiences is far beyond that of obscure literary films.

More importantly, the content of"The Tuner" can be understood by the whole world without causing cultural barriers.

I happily packed my things and went back to the hotel, ready to fight again tomorrow.

In the next three days,"The Tuner" sold the copyrights of more than 20 countries, with the total transaction volume exceeding US$1.5 million.

What makes Lin Ran even more delighted is that the huge sales of"The Tuner" attracted the attention of"Screen", the official magazine of the Cannes Film Festival.

They took the initiative to find Lin Ran and conduct a brief interview.
