In the future, we will not expect to win all the three major European Golden Ball Oscars like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. Take your time and save a few regional awards."

"I see."

Then, the family continued to chat, and Tao Xiwu talked about the release of "Video Hall".

The Wolfgang Sdoder Award is not considered a major prize in the main competition unit, but because it focuses on new directors and independent productions, a great advantage is that it focuses on the attention of many European art film distribution companies.

The award-winning director will not only be regarded as the direct descendant of the Berlin Film Festival by the outside world, but also be guaranteed for investment and distribution of new works in the future.

After "Video Hall" won the award, six publishers, including French MK2, expressed strong interest in the film and eventually obtained the right to publish the film overseas.

The purchase price of the issuance rights of "Video Hall" in several European countries is not high, ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 US dollars, and a total of 270,000 US dollars was obtained.

Tao Xiwu is so satisfied with this that he can't be satisfied anymore. The total investment of this movie is only over 200,000, and 270,000 US dollars is equivalent to 223.

Ten thousand yuan.

What's more, in the future, "Video Hall" may be released in China based on Lin's Pictures' distribution channels, and also include some overseas copyright income.

From the perspective of return on investment, this investment made a lot of money!

Tao Xiwu was very happy when talking about this. He knew that Lin Chaoyang was not short of money. He was happy that he did not disappoint Lin Chaoyang's investment and expectations.

Speaking of the issue of movie revenue, Lin Chaoyang said to him:

"It's a good thing to make money from a movie, so I don't have to give it to me. I said it was a sponsorship.

All the benefits are 1/5. You and your classmates will share them. How to divide them yourself? The rest will be regarded as the start-up capital for your new movie.

If there is still a gap, you can find a way for yourself.”

Hearing this, Tao Xiwu wanted to refuse, but Lin Chaoyang was firm. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then we will each share the portion of my classmates and I. What do you think?"

Lin Chaoyang asked with a smile: "Including the future income, even 1/5 will be at least 600,000 or 700,000, so how can I bear it?"

"Without everyone's help, the movie would definitely not have been shot so smoothly."

Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but hear this. Tao Xiwu has many problems, but his advantages are also outstanding.

Have self-knowledge and willing to share success,

"Forget it if you pay for each person, just give them 20,000 red envelopes per person." Lin Chaoyang said.

Tao Xiwu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. At this time, Zhao Li said, "Shengmien, fight Mi Qiu, listen to your eldest uncle."

Tao Xiwu nodded with thoughtful expression.

Then he thought of a question, "Big uncle, you asked me to invest the remaining money in a new movie "Don't you like being your boss?" Lin Chaoyang asked him with a smile.

Tao Xiwu hesitated and said, "I just graduated and have never opened a company."

"Everyone has a first time, it depends on your choice. The money is not too much, it can only be regarded as startup capital.

In fact, there is no need to make a company at the beginning, it can be made into a studio. Try to attract some investors to join.

The risk of making movies is relatively high, you must learn to use other people's money to complete your own art."

Tao Xiwu is his junior. If he wants to enter the film and television industry, Lin Chaoyang is naturally willing to give more suggestions.

Tao Yucheng clapped his hands and said, "Your uncle's words are all good words, listen carefully."

"I see."

After the celebration banquet happily, after a few more days, Lin Chaoyang finally finished the first volume of the new book.

After he rested for a few days, he sorted out his manuscript and planned to make some revisions first.

The first volume has a total of 426,000 words, which is much more than what he expected before he wrote it.

In the novel world, works with more than 400,000 words can usually be called 名名名.

The first volume of the new book alone has exceeded 400,000 words. According to Lin Chao's rules, the whole novel is afraid that it will be written to more than 2 million words.

Thinking of this, Lin Chao felt a little taller and numb.

Time flies, March. Yan Ya holds the academic salon of the Lin Chao Party (Zhongdad) Literary Research Association and the first anniversary of its establishment. Lin Chao Party was invited to attend.

Research results of contemporary literature, 1 Most of the time changes cannot be said to be very high influential among the people.

During the whole year of last year, the members of the research association have indeed contributed a few articles to various literary magazines and literary criticism magazines of my father.

Moreover, compared with the previous submissions of this family, the magazine attaches the same importance to it, with the title of Lin Chaopao (Zhongdad) Literary Research Association.

In addition to the influence of Lin Chaopao and his works among readers, some of the academic articles published by these scholars have really caused some responses.

For example, Zhao Xueyong, a professor at the School of Xueli, Shaanxi Normal University, has studied the novel "Dallas Buyer Club".

As one of the most high-level works by Lin Chao Party, "Dallas Buyer Club" has always been a work that many scholars study Lin Chao Party's works because of its bold writing style.

In September last year, Zhao Xueyong published an article in "Shanghai Literature" titled "From

Watch the phenomenon of beautiful dad’s same-sex marriage and love”.

The article takes the homosexual phenomenon of the Beauty Dad Club revealed in "Dallas Buyer Club" as a selection point, and deeply selects research and explores the development history of the same-sex marriage and love phenomenon in Mei Dad.

For the ugly people of my father today, the three words "homosexuality" are still a secret that can be said, and they are taboos that cannot be brought to the table and discussed.

The article "Watching the Beautiful Dad's Same-Sex Marriage and Love" avoided the discussion, which immediately attracted a warm attention in the literary and critical circles.

"...--At midnight on October 27, 1992, 22-year-old US military radio operator Alan Schindler was beaten to death by his companions because the captain discovered that he was a homosexual.

After this incident was exposed, the whole of the United States was in an uproar!

Schindler's death happened just when Mei Dad was in charge of 1992. The homosexuality problem of Junqi became more prominent, and thus became an important issue in the competition between the two parties.

In October 1991, the then governor of Arkansas, Zipperton, gave a speech at the Kennedy School of Government.

When asked how he viewed the military's policy of banning homosexuals from serving in the military, he quoted a sentence from "Dallas Buyer Club" when Renn met his father, "Do you wear men's clothing to make me feel ashamed again?"

In this speech, Zincun said: "The father's family can exclude any citizen from serving his father with a skill, that is, these citizens of Shan are loved by some other citizens."

This move won him countless applause and praise, and also increased his winning rate.

In November 1992, President Bill Clinton won the victory and fulfilled his promise in the competition to address the issue of homosexuality in the military, and officially issued the "Ask, Say, and Study" policy--"

The research explained in "Looking at the same-sex marriage and love phenomenon of beautiful fathers" is of course extremely courageous in this period, and it seems to deviate from Zhao Xueyong's consistent research direction.

Because the appearance of this article is more like the field of Weihui scholars, rather than what literary scholars should discuss.

The important reason why this article can cause such a response is that it made many people know for the first time that the novel "Dallas Buyer Club" used to cause such a loud noise in the beauty dad and the beauty.

After the novel was published in Mei Dad, many media in Dad had reported on his popularity.

But most media reports are general, conceptual, and have no high details at all.

"The speech quoted by Mei Dad" "The price of homosexual groups has changed because of it"

Zhao Xueyong's article just added these details, and many people then realized that "Dallas Buyer Club" would have caused such a response in Mei Dad.

The sound of its use is far beyond the scope of a novel. After reading the article, few people naturally avoid the pride of a high-profile writer who can trigger such a harsh association effect in a foreign father's hometown.
