Chapter 31 Returning to China

"The Legend of Two Donkeys" is not Chinese!

The Chinese movies that foreigners like, also called Imagination Chinese movies, they think that China should be full of bicycles on the streets, without high-rise buildings, and the people are as quarrel as bargaining in the vegetable market every day, ignorant and backward as they bargain in the vegetable market.

Therefore, they like to watch "Qiuju's lawsuit", "No one left behind", and movies like "Farewell My Concubine".

Because these movies are in line with the Chinese image in their heads.

In the 1990s, the Chinese films that appeared in the film festival were like this. After the sixth generation appeared at the film festival, they brought them a more 'real' China, poverty, backwardness, and negative...

It satisfies foreign nationals' imagination of China!

Lu Xiaoran hates such filmmakers very much, and does not like so-called independent movies...

The biggest problem of independent films is that they are obviously just the aesthetics of small intellectuals, and they have to think that the public must accept it!

Just like Li Dan’s words in "The Debater": Some intellectuals always want to sacrifice others and save what they think is valuable, so that our world will frequently fall into fire...

I guess they think they are very great!

Wang Xiaoshuai said: "You have lost one Zhang Yimou, do you want to lose another Wang Xiaoshuai?

Brother, you really overestimate yourself...

If you want to say this, Cheng Xin also thinks that she is doing it right. She is the Virgin!

Back to "The Legend of the Two Donkeys", this movie, except for the sporadic introduction of the era, mostly revolves around Black Donkey and Ma Jie. If you discuss it in a simple way, it is the story of Black Donkey's Revenge...

The story of animal revenge is particularly popular among Westerners!

Rudyard Kipling's Book of the Jungle even won the original work of "Fantasy Forest" by Nobel Prize in Literature;

"Wind Willow" and "The Mole's Story" are all very popular animal themes...

The only thing they were dissatisfied with was probably that the black donkey’s revenge failed!

Not in line with their imagination of justice over evil…

...

The Berlin Film Festival is not particularly popular.

Especially this year, there were no major directors' works to participate in the exhibition, only two works, one called "Apple", and the other was "Tuya's Marriage" that emerged from some corner. So when mainland reporters arrived in Berlin, they could only catch Tong Dawei and Fan Xiaoye...

The questions were all ‘Do you have the confidence to win the award!’ or ‘How is it like coming to Berlin?’

The press releases sent to the mainland are like this: "Tong Dawei, Fan Bingbing gathered in Berlin, and the golden boy and jade girl looked at each other affectionately", "Tong Dawei revealed that he joined "Red Cliff", and Wu Yusen tailored the role for him", "The 57th Berlin Film Festival opens, Fan Bingbing takes his mother to seize the golden bear"...

No need to write...

Just these two stars.

Fortunately, "The Legend of the Two Donkeys" has become famous!

It really happened. I sold the copyrights from more than 20 countries that night, making a big profit!

A reporter came to Lu Xiaoran and wanted to interview him. Lu Xiaoran was very sincere and basically answered whatever he asked.

"This movie was found in me at the beginning of last year and was shot in July."

"My teacher recommended me to audition..."

"I didn't have any ideas, I thought the script was pretty good, and the director was very sincere, so I took it."

"How did you come to Berlin?"

"Our producers include Mr. Wang Qingqiang, who is the Asian film selector of the Berlin Film Festival. He was busy doing the post-production at the time and didn't catch up with the registration time, so we came by ourselves... The main purpose was to sell the films, after all, it cost several million to shoot..."

"It's hard to say, I've never seen this type of movie appear in the mainland market..."

"If it is released, it's not a big problem. We have already obtained the Dragon Mark!"

"There is a shortage of issuers now...the investor is a nutritional product, and he has never issued it..."

"…I can't tell who can get the Golden Bear, this is not a question I should consider!"

I just chatted for a few words, and the reporter was named Chen Liangjun, who worked for Sohu News...

I guess this news is sent to the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief may not necessarily give the page "The Legend of the Two Donkeys"? Lu Xiaoran? Who is it?

...

The 15th, the closing ceremony.

"The Legend of the Two Donkeys" actually received an invitation, which also means that the movie won the award!

Tangtang is very nervous...

This was the first time she was walking on the red carpet in Berlin, Chengtian was good to her. She had been to the Busan Film Festival last year.

"Will you wave later?"

"Look at me, do I look good at smiling?"

“…How fast do we have to go?”

Looking at Tangtang, who was wearing a black dress, black high heels, and pure and elegant temperament, Lu Xiaoran sighed: "You are thinking too much, who knows us? After getting on the red carpet, leave quickly, don't delay the people behind!"

“…Is there no domestic journalist?”

"Domestic journalists don't know us either!"

"Don't say that, Xie Xiaomeng is still very well-known!"

"…hehe."

Lu Xiaoran hehehe...

The comedian, even Huang Bo, is not as capable as a young actor in attracting fans!

This is an era of looking at faces!

"Stone" has been around for more than half a year, and Lu Xiaoran's Xie Xiaomeng has long been the past...

After all, the box office of "Stone" is 30 million instead of 300 million!

The facts are similar to what he said. Few people filmed the crew of "Two Donkeys" at all. Behind them are the crew of "Spy Storm", Angelina Jolie, and Matt are cute and wandering around in the garden...

The flashes from various angles are a pity for the movie fans to cheer. All this has nothing to do with "The Legend of the Two Donkeys"...

With six tickets, all six people entered the closing ceremony hall and quietly waited for the result.

...

At 10:00 a.m. on the 17th, a group of people gathered at Tegel Airport and prepared to set off for a trip back home.

Wang Qingqiang stayed in the local area.

He may have to fly to the United States with the film merchandise to discuss copyright transactions...

"Double Donkeys" won three awards, namely the Crystal Bear Award for Best Feature Film (Children's Choice Award), the Teddy Audience Award disappointed you, the Teddy Bear Award for No Best Actor, the Catholic Humane Spirit Award, and the Forum Unit Award.

The bonus alone is close to 200,000 euros!

Three awards directly made "The Legend of the Two Donkeys" popular. Anyway, the copyrights of more than 40 countries sold in one night, but not many of them, so many of them were given 10,000 US dollars, such as Chile, Peru, Uruguay...

The big head is still the United States. They want to buy out the copyright by $100,000, but Wang Qingqiang thinks the price is too low.

"…I'm going to go and find the Lower Zhongying to see if they will take over the release!"

"I think you should advise Boss Ming, we have made money. Maybe he will be so angry that he will really spend money on publicity?"

Li Dawei smiled: "...It's unlikely that his nutritional supplements can't be sold, and his performance last year was very bad!"

"Can't sell it? Why?"

“Nutritional supplements are not easy to sell now…”

“…”

Isn’t Nong Platinum advertising in various ways?
