Chapter 28 Back to school Chen An agreed with what Jerry all, the best place to make US dollars is where they are produced, where there are the most green US dollars! It is also the largest film market today and has the strongest global distribution capabilities, and has been bombarding the global market for decades. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want to earn US dollars, but Chen An felt that it was not the right time yet, so he rejected Jerry first. "I agree to your offer, but I have no intention of going to Hollywood for the time being." Jerry had no regrets and still said to Chen An enthusiastically: "No problem, Chen, you are still young and we can wait. If you have any ideas, you can contact me at any time. Warner will always welcome you." Chen An nodded as a response to Jerry. He was not in a hurry to go to Hollywood. Even if an outsider went there, it would be difficult to make it. He wanted to wait until "Titanic" was released. Now that it has achieved success in China, and after Hollywood saw the domestic box office potential, it is using "China" to gain respect. "But we can write some scripts first so that we can shoot them later." Looking at Jerry leaving, Chen An thought silently in his heart.
And he must go and earn these US dollars, even Jesus can’t keep them! All the copyrights of "Run Lola Run" have been sold. All copyrights, including screening rights and disc sales, have been sold out. Only two companies were sold for a total of US$1700 million. Even Han Sanping couldn't imagine this number. Although the three major film festivals are great, they are not at this level. Even if it is the top of the three major film festivals, it is not enough. After all, it is only the Best Director Award. It’s not the highest prize, not even the second. All I can say is that the screening of "Run Lola Run" happened to coincide with the trend of feminism, plus he was the youngest winner of the Best Director award. The film was also quite entertaining and was highly praised by the media at the time, and was even recommended by women as a must-see movie. It was only by chance that it was sold at such a high price, but Chen An could still accept it as he had always been lucky. Although the money from copyright purchase will not be deposited into the account immediately, it will be much faster than the box office revenue. Although Chen An and Han Sanping's Beijing Film Studio each owned 15% and 10% respectively, Lin Dajiang was still very happy. Even so, he was making so much money that he wanted to quit the clothing industry and focus on movies. To be honest, he has never made so much money in all these years of making clothes. Chen An also tried to persuade him, but I don't know if he listened to him. After all, the film industry is a high-risk industry, and outsiders will be cheated if they enter the industry. It's impossible for me to take care of him forever. Next he will start his own company. Excluding the share of domestic box office revenue, Chen An earned a total of 255 million US dollars this time. At that time, Chen An was a self-employed person and planned to bring all of them into the country.
Now that foreign exchange is tight, it can be considered as serving the motherland. I have no intention of hiding from taxes and plan to pay them all. It's safer to hold it yourself. Chen An suddenly became a multi-millionaire. After the negotiation, everyone was treated by Lin Dajiang and stayed in France for a few days. Chen An also went to the yacht he had always wanted to go on. He even invited the crew of "Feng Yue" who came with him, but they refused and went back to their country. After having a great time for a few days, everyone was arranged to return home together. This time, the rich man paid for and chartered an entire plane to go back. During this period, Han Sanping had been talking to Chen An about the plans for the next movie, and Chen An did not refuse. I originally thought that now that I have achieved success in China, I will go to Hollywood to use the "Chinese" image to show off my status and let them look at me and envy the mainland market. Only then can you make more US dollars there. "Brother Han, I won't be taking my next movie abroad to compete for awards. This is a form of training for myself. I plan to make a movie to practice my camera skills." Chen An sat next to Han Sanping's seat and explained his ideas to him. “Is it a commercial film?” Han Sanping became excited when he heard that it was not an award-winning project. The domestic box office market was getting worse and worse, and it would be great to have such a director to stimulate the market. "Not entirely. Art films are very popular in China now, but we can't say that all audiences like to watch this kind of stuff. After all, only a minority of people like to watch it." "Ordinary audiences don't want to spend money to go to the cinema to watch a movie that is full of preaching or satire. Most of them just want to have fun. This is also the reason why comedy movies have high box office." "Of course, it doesn't mean that art films and other types of movies don't have an audience, but they are ultimately a minority among the general public." "I plan to find a place with four distinct seasons. This movie will include all these landscapes. I want the pictures to be beautiful and the audience to enjoy watching them." Hearing these ideas, Han Sanping also agreed with a smile: "No problem, our Beijing Film Studio will definitely fully support you when the time comes." However, Chen An said, "Thank you, Brother Han, but I need a couple to shoot with me this time, so it may take a while, so please bear with me." "No problem, I'll talk to him, how long will it take?" “We need to capture all four seasons in one year.” "So long? I'll try my best. I'll talk to him when the time comes." Han Sanping was also a little helpless. After all, the time was not short, and Lu Le was not an ordinary photographer. The movie "To Live" was shot by him. He is Chen An's favorite and a well-known excellent photographer in China. "Well then, I'll leave it to you, brother." Chen An believed that if Han Sanping took action, there would be no problem with the matter. The plane landed in Beijing.
Chen An and Han Sanping got off the plane together, and they were chatting about movies. But this time, unlike the previous short films, it was after getting off the plane. Chen An was blocked by reporters at the airport and asked questions. "Director Chen, what do you want to say to the domestic audiences now that you won the Best Director award?" "Director Chen, when is Run Lola Run going to be released this time?" "Director Chen, please." A bunch of reporters gathered together and asked questions at the same time, and Chen An was greeted by Han Sanping. Instead of answering the question, he and his friend fled the scene under the protection of the Beijing Film Studio staff. "You are quite popular now. After all, you are the first Chinese-language film to win the Best Director Award at Cannes and you are still so young." Han Sanping, who was sitting in the car, said to Chen An with a smile. "You know what, this is the first time I feel the enthusiasm of the domestic media. If you don't pull me along, I'll go and argue with them." Chen An said with a grin as he sat next to Han Sanping. "Then I'll take you back now?" "No, just talk." Chen An quickly refused. If he really went back, those reporters would not let him go. It would be no problem for him to let them question him for a few hours. The car first drove to Beijing Film Academy and let Chen An get off before leaving. When Chen An got off the bus, he looked up and saw a huge banner at the school gate, "Congratulations to our outstanding sophomore student Chen An for winning the Best Director Award at the 49th Cannes Film Festival!" Especially the words "Best Director Award" are big and bold. Chen An also understood what to do now, and he kept rushing towards Teacher Mu while pulling his things. "Boom boom boom!" Chen An walked into the office, knocked on Teacher Mu’s office door, and then walked in. Teacher Mu looked up and saw his favorite student and said with a smile: "You are back, our great director." "I'm back now, and I picked up a prize. I brought it back for you to see." "Where's the stuff?" Teacher Mu didn't ask anything else and just asked Chen An for the Best Director award. Chen An opened the box, took out the packaged certificate and handed it over, saying: "Here, just this. For such a big film festival, they only gave out a piece of paper." Teacher Mu, who had won an award, ignored him, took the thing in his hand, opened it and looked at it, then tied it. "You are really awesome this time. I guess there will be various conferences and lectures in the next few days. You should be prepared." As a wise man, Mr. Mu knew that Chen An would not be able to stop the various interviews and meetings at that time.
Let Chen An put down the things and take him to the courtyard to meet the leaders. Then the certificate will be replicated like the previous Venice trophy and placed in the school. ask for everything
