That year Huayu

It was almost eleven o'clock at night when the awards ceremony dinner ended.

A lot of news about the film festival spreads from Cannes to all over the world.

When Lin Nan was immersed in sleep, the sky in China had just dawned.

Today's headlines in the film and television industry are all about the Cannes Awards ceremony.

Countless filmmakers in the industry looked at it sideways and were stunned!

"The mother of Liu Yifei won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Cannes International Film Festival for "The Fault in Our Stars"!"

This news has made countless actresses feel surprised, aggrieved and difficult to accept.

A guy from a different industry just won an award at an international film festival? Trampled underfoot a large number of domestic actresses!

Not to mention others, the guest actors in "The Star" were each more surprised than the last.

Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo, Jiang Yiyan, Luo Jin...

These people never thought that Liu Xiaoli would win the award and be the Best Supporting Actress in Cannes!

Film awards of this level are too high-end and too far away for many actors in the industry...

Immediately afterwards, everyone posted messages on Weibo to celebrate.

After all, everyone is a member of "Xing Lun", so proud of it!

If Liu Xiaoli won the award, the industry was a little surprised and caught off guard.

The jury awards won by Lin Nan and Liu Yifei completely shocked the entire film industry.

Why do you say that?

Because most people in the industry thought that it would be great if Lin Nan's film won the third-class individual award. After all, it was the Cannes Film Festival!

Over the years since before the turn of the millennium, Chinese-language films have had very little success in Cannes.

As the highest award of Palme d'Or, so far, only Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" has won it.

As for the Jury Prize, which is second only to the Palme d'Or, only two people have won it...

No, after today, there is one more person.

"After "Alive" directed by Zhang Yimou and "The Devil Is Coming" directed by Jiang Wen, this is the third domestic director and film to win the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival."

"Director Lin Nan and "The Fault in Our Stars"!"

That's right, Lin Nan became the third director in China to win this award.

Since then, Liu Yifei has also been a producer who has produced Cannes Grand Jury Prize films!

…………

It was still late at night and early morning in Cannes, but the domestic entertainment industry was already extremely busy.

"Although I haven't seen "The Star" yet, I believe in Lin Nan's ability and she deserves the jury award, just like I did! Haha..."

When Jiang Wen was being interviewed, he was not modest at all. While praising Lin Nan, he did not forget to boast about himself.

Zhang Yi and Lei Jiayin from the TV series crew, Yang Mi from the "Hongmen Banquet" crew, Zhao Liying from the "Four Famous Catchers" crew, and Reba who is still on the show, several Shanhai Media artists were very excited.

Because the stronger the boss Lin Nan is, the easier their path will be...

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others also took time out of their busy schedule to accept phone interviews with the media.

"It's a pity that it's only a little bit short. But it's already very good. This is just the first time. Lin Nan is still young and there are still many opportunities in the future..."

"He won the jury award? Well, he is indeed very good, but you can't be proud. The road to the Palme d'Or is not easy. I was..."

…………

The Cannes Film Festival is finally over, but the copyright trading market will continue for at least another week.

As a major award-winning film, these days are the days when a large number of film producers come to visit.

Liu Yifei got up lazily. She looked like she was awake when Liu Xiaoli called her out, looking decadent.

"Yesterday you said you wanted to meet with the film studio with me, and you regret it today?" Lin Nan joked.

"I'm so sleepy, I don't want to go..."

Liu Yifei yawned, hugged Lin Nan's waist, leaned on his chest and began to take a nap.

"I'm really convinced by you. Okay, okay, you can go back to sleep. Yue Jun and the others will go with me."

"okay……"

Hearing this, Miss Liu nodded lazily, smiled at Lin Nan, then turned and walked to her room, ready to go back to sleep.

"Oh, so lazy, haha..."

Lin Nan shook his head, with a look of endearment on his face.

…………

The jury award clearly reflects the blessing of the copyright price of "The Star".

Gu Changwei, Chen Kexin, Xu Ke and Yu Dong were all jealous.

Because they all knew about it, many blockbusters expressed their intention to purchase the copyright to Lin Nan and "Stars".

Chen Kexin and the producers of "Martial Arts" are helpless right now because reality is cruel to them...

China Film and Wanda have already settled the matter of "Painted Skin 2", and all European and American film producers who are interested in purchasing the copyright have bought it.

"How much?" Lin Nan asked.

"Thanks to Director Tolin, except for Southeast Asia, we didn't sell it. Adding up the other regions, the total copyright income is 10.15 million US dollars."

Lin Nan was quite satisfied when he heard this number. It was already pretty good.

"Director Lin, Director Han wants to disclose this transaction figure to the media after we return to China?"

People from China Film Group were seeking Lin Nan’s opinion, and Wanda agreed.

"I have no opinion."

The theme of "Painted Skin 2" is there, and it is definitely a success to be able to sell this result in Cannes.

For China Film, Ningbo Film and Television Film, this is a glorious political achievement!

There are 12 film producers on "The Star", all of whom were interested after the opening ceremony.

Before the award ceremony, Lin Nan asked Yue Jun to keep hanging on to them. Now it was time for a showdown.

A jury award made these people's bids for "The Star" increase by nearly one-third.

When Lin Nan came over, he saw Yue Jun and his men chatting with a group of film producers. It looked like they were done.

"Director Lin?"

An employee came over.

"How much?" Lin Nan asked.

"Star Luck" only retains domestic copyrights, and overseas copyrights are included in the sale this time.

Upon hearing the question, the employees' faces instantly showed expressions of joy.

"Director Lin, it has been decided. The overseas copyrights add up to a total of 28.6 million U.S. dollars..."

Lin Nan paused, then nodded. This number is very high.

Previously, "Hunting" sold 32.4 million US dollars in Venice, but it was a Golden Lion Award-winning film, and its subject matter was particularly suitable for Europe and the United States.

This "Star" ranked second, and it is a literary romance film. The price of 28.6 million U.S. dollars is definitely a high price.

It can only be said that the movie starring Lin Nan and Liu Yifei has some special blessings!

A top director and a top actress star in a romance film together, and the two are lovers in reality...

…………

Several Chinese-language films are seizing the last minute to secure film rights.

As for whether it sells well or not, I don't know.

However, Lin Nan heard a piece of gossip.

The "Martial Arts" side seemed to have met with Harvey Weinstein, and the whole process was very low-key.

In the next few days, "Star" finalized contracts and copyright transfer documents with all film producers...

Many domestic film crews are preparing to leave Cannes and return to China.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were also packing their luggage and preparing to go back.

The team of more than a dozen people seemed to be a bit aggressive. In the end, they were divided into two groups and let Yue Jun and others go first.

In first class.

Liu Xiaoli listened to her daughter and Lin Nan discussing copyright matters. This was the first time she knew that "Star Luck" had been sold for so much money.

"Don't look at directors Jia Zhangke and Lou Ye who are shouting all day long to ask theaters to arrange more films, but the box office will always lose money.

In fact, they are all fake. Their movies never lose money.

The profit of their films does not depend on domestic production at all, but in international film festivals, it depends on copyright transactions..."

Lin Nan taught Liu Yifei some things in the industry.

To be honest, most viewers will definitely think that Jia Zhangke and other award-winning film directors are inferior to Feng Xiaogang and others in terms of assets.

In fact, this is completely deceived by superficial phenomena. Each of these directors is hiding their secrets!

Whether it is award-winning films or commercial films, directors who are at the forefront of both fields are top figures and can make money easily.

…………

Liu Yifei put on the same outfit she wore when she went to Cannes.

White T-shirt, loose jeans, white shoes, big sunglasses, long hair shawl...

There is an air of youthfulness and beauty all over his body, which makes people stop.

As a group of people walked at the airport, the rate of return was very high, and many people wanted to come up and ask for an autograph.

A large number of media have been waiting outside for a long time.

Because everyone knows that the crew who went to Cannes will definitely come back in these two days, especially "Star".

The advantage of bringing more people with you is that you won't be blocked by reporters and unable to leave.

However, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei chose a place farther away to be interviewed.

"Director Lin, Yifei, congratulations on winning the award for "The Star". Can you tell me how much the copyright was sold for?"

Good guy, let’s get straight to the point right from the start.

"This has to be kept secret. I can only say it's okay."

Lin Nan smiled and spoke vaguely.

"Is it as much as "Painted Skin 2"? Today China Film announced the copyright transaction amount, US$10.15 million!"

Lin Nan felt a little emotional that Han Sanping was still so impatient.

"Higher than "Painted Skin 2"..."

…

"Yifei, how does it feel to go on stage to receive the award?"

…

"Ms. Liu, how do you feel about winning the Best Supporting Actress? Will you appear in films in the future..."

…

After waiting outside the airport for more than half an hour, Lin Nan and others left by car.

In the afternoon of that day, news was reported that several crew members were returning one after another.

Immediately afterwards, Huayi and Deng Wendi announced that the overseas rights of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" were sold at Cannes at a high price;

The same is true for Bona and Xu Ke, ""Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" created a copyright transaction miracle in Cannes!"

""Favorite" has recovered its costs and is very profitable..."

"The film rights of "Martial Arts" outside of Southeast Asia have been sold at a high price!"

Among the several Chinese-language films, only "Painted Skin 2" has announced specific figures, and Lin Nan said that the transaction volume of "The Star" is higher than that of "Painted Skin 2".

When other film producers asked the media about the specific copyright transaction amount, they all had only one answer: "It's a commercial secret and I can't tell you"!

Slaps in the face always come quickly, and some media are indeed very powerful!

"According to Cannes news, the copyright transaction value of "Snowflake and the Secret Fan" is around US$2.5 million;

"Favorite" is sure to recover its costs and more than double its profits;

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" did not achieve its expected goals and still needs box office support to make up for its losses;

The numbers for "Painted Skin 2" are accurate..."

When the industry saw the news about the transaction amount of "Star", the production companies were extremely jealous.

"Uncertain news, the copyright transaction volume of "Star Luck" is very likely to reach more than 20 million US dollars, and its cost is only 10 million domestic currency..."

Faced with such revelations on the Internet, the media came to Lin Nan Pictures for verification, but Yue Jun did not make any response.

What amused the industry the most was the incident in "Martial Arts".

The film studio was talking about selling the copyright at a high price, but the news that broke out was just the opposite.

"Director Chen Kexin and the film studio sold the overseas copyright of "Martial Arts" to Harvey Weinstein for US$2 million..."

Before the producers of "Martial Arts" came forward to deny it, there were already photos on the Internet of the meeting between the crew and Harvey, which were taken secretly.

This time, his face was slapped hard.

After all, Harvey's style is well known in the domestic film circles.

That's a typical vampire, eating people but not spitting out bones!

Faced with the revelations, Chen Kexin and the film crew had nothing to say and could only quibble that the specific transaction amount was not two million.

Many mainland filmmakers are joking:

"Maybe it's really not two million U.S. dollars, but less than two million U.S. dollars, haha..."
