The awards are over and the film festival schedule is over.

Of course, this trip to the Sundance Film Festival was still full of gains, mainly due to the fact that they sold their highest rights this year in this year's Sundance trading market - except for North America, they sold overseas rights for US$10.6 million.

Obviously made a profit.

The purpose of investing in the movie "Winter's Bone" is to make money.

Lin Hao thought that this film should be popular in the United States, so he did not insist on going to Europe to crown the film in the three major movies. Instead, after the time of the Berlin Film Festival was not suitable, he chose a film that was more in line with the theme of the film.

Film Festival.

Facts have proved that the decision was correct.

One film festival has already paid for itself.

Of course, other people who participated in the film also gained something. Winning the highest award at this film festival will help them take on the next film, attract investment, gain popularity, and resumes and other miscellaneous things.

In one sentence:

The film team took the glory on the surface; the benefits behind it were taken away by Changlin Pictures.

Everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy.

The only thing I might not be happy about might be the matter with Weinstein.

...

In the hotel, in the lounge.

"What I hope you know is that Weinstein was able to watch this movie because of the feminist elements in it. What we have to do is highlight this matter, and then we can proceed to the next step."

The company representatives in suits and ties are still biting hard.

Why do they think this director is so strange? He makes this kind of film just to satisfy Hollywood's appetite...

I originally thought it was to ask for more money.

Harvey certainly disagrees.

After a few days of grinding, I found that the other party was really stubborn, so I finally added a full $1 million to the price of "Winter's Bone".

However, the other party still pretended: Why do you want money other than money?

So I became more and more speechless and continued to bite him to death.

"But that will make the film unbalanced. Everyone will only be exposed to a small amount of things, and other expressions will be destroyed! I cannot and am not allowed to make such changes." The director also continued to follow.

She didn't hold on for so many days just for money.

Especially a few days ago, someone came to her privately and asked her to agree to sell the movie for a sum of money. She felt her heart churn - if it was just for money, the movie would be a pure commodity.

In her eyes:

Movies are ultimately works of art.

"Well, I said..."

Lin Hao finally intervened. Seeing that both parties were already angry, it would be difficult for the negotiation to continue: "I think everyone has expressed their opinions clearly today. Maybe we can think about the rest and talk tomorrow."

In Lin Hao's eyes:

Movies are artistic products, so we are neutral to both parties' viewpoints.

He also made plans for a long-term battle:

The two parties have now reached a new stage, that is, Weinstein has begun to open up his true thoughts to the crew. This is a good thing, but there is still a certain distance between a complete showdown.

There is no way.

We have to continue to negotiate patiently and slowly, and the same sentence remains: If the negotiation can be successful, everyone will be happy. If the negotiation is not successful... North American copyrights are the best selling place for global film rights.

...

January, even if it has passed like this.

The new employees of the company returned home after the film festival.

It is said that after returning to China, a few academic guys took down a thick volume of things, but if you really want to ask them about their feelings about the movie, they really don’t have as many notes as Zhao Baozi.

I just looked at it and analyzed it.

Lin Hao, on the other hand, continues to stay in the United States and continues to prepare for the release of "Winter's Bone" and "Terror Cruise".

Let’s not talk about the former, it’s still nonsense.

The latter came up with something interesting this time:

For this promotion, the talented and bold crew of "Terror Cruise" came up with a relatively new trick to attract more people to watch.

February 6, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"Let us invite today's guest next, our favorite, Lin Hao! Applause!"

"Wow!!!"

In the oak-colored studio, the male and female audiences stood up from their seats one after another. They watched Lin Hao appear from the door at the back, waved and greeted the enthusiastic audience: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Hao.

"

The host also quickly picked up:

"And we want to tell you some good news. The movie "Terror Cruise" starring Lin Hao will be released on the 26th of this month. Will you support him?"

"meeting!!!"

The audience in the audience was full of enthusiasm.

Generally speaking, the bigger the role, the less exposure. This is a law in the entertainment industry. Of course, it also applies to Lin Hao, who has been exposed less and less on TV in recent years.

So it's not easy to meet him to record a show.

These audiences all came from surrounding states. After all, Lin Hao didn't plan to record many programs during this promotional trip, so the quota was precious and naturally very high.

And I heard that if his wife hadn't attended a party this year, she wouldn't have been able to celebrate the Chinese New Year with him...

Otherwise there will be less publicity.

"Look at how enthusiastic they are, you know how much they are looking forward to it." On the stage, the host Emma blinked and followed up: "Is there anything you can spoil for our enthusiastic audience?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of the audience, Lin Hao lived up to expectations and nodded: "That must be true. In fact, I brought some stills to share today."

...

Excited voices suddenly sounded at the scene:

"Wow! Stills! Sure enough, there are stills!"

"I knew it, haha!"

"What is the plot of the stills? Can you tell me?" The people around cheered, and Mark in the audience looked puzzled: So is there anything special about this?

For the general crew...

The stills are not new either.

Is it possible that they are all like the new Justin Bieber fans, who support and cheer for no reason no matter what their idol does?

Fortunately, there was a kind person nearby who explained to the general idea:

"Yes, generally, the stills we see are some photos of the leading actors and starring actors, interesting poses, and a small amount of spoilers.

But this time the stills from "Terror Cruise" are amazing.

It’s almost full of spoilers.”

Here, after the host finished speaking, the assistant quickly brought up a few photos. The first and second photos were very interesting: in these two photos, the male protagonist was in two stages.

Match the audience’s explanations.

So the new trick is...

Give some photos with spoilers to let the audience solve the puzzle, thereby increasing the audience's participation to achieve the purpose of publicity and expanding influence.

These photos are like pieces of a puzzle.
Chapter completed!
