I'm almost a Muggle

Chapter 495: Love When Cherry Blossoms Bloom

"The first group, the first prize, "The Maze of the Mind", the jury believes that this is a classic work that can be left with a name in history. Please ask Director Xin."

The reason why we don’t look for award presenters is that it’s because there is no need, which makes everyone uncomfortable. After all, the director of art films is not very similar to ordinary directors.

Let the pleasing girl like Liu Xiaomei read it one by one, which is better than any guest's award presentation.

"This is not a joke, it's really five million?" Xin Yukun, director of "The Maze of the Mind", didn't believe that he won the award after coming up, and he questioned it publicly.

"Yes, five million." Faced with such a stupid inquiry, Liu Xiaomei did not contempt or impatient at all, and nodded very solemnly and seriously.

"This money...is a bit worthy of it. I only spent two million on a movie." He was stunned by the money.

Everyone in the audience burst into laughter with kindness.

Looking at last year's art film, "The Maze of the Mind" is an inescapable classic work.

Its script is extremely powerful, presenting a black humorous effect similar to the movie of the Coen Brothers.

Some people say it is the best domestic suspense movie of the year, no one.

Some people even say that it is the best theater film in mainland China of the year.

In short, Klester gave it the greatest affirmation, it was the first group, that is, the first place in the release group, with a bonus of five million.

"Thank you, Crab, Crab, here, I want to publicly force the ward off. I have a new film that costs about 10 million. Now there is five million here, and there is still 10 million. Can Klester vote for me?"

It turns out that he is an art film director, and his brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people.

Yes, if it is the same, how could it be possible to make a classic work like "The Maze of the Mind".

At this time, everyone's eyes were all turned to Du Qixi.

Du Qixi gestured to the stage with an OK gesture, which almost made Director Qi Yukun faint with joy.

Any director of an art film has the dream of making Klester invest.

Klester is the dream lover of art film directors.

The reason is very simple. Kleist only charges money from domestic theaters, and at most it is one online broadcasting right. The online broadcasting right is not for nothing, but will give some money.

A huge source of income for art films is actually Guo Jia’s subsidies, film festival subsidies, etc.

Christ doesn't take any penny of this money.

For example, "The Maze of the Mind", which costs 2 million yuan, and the promotion and distribution are included in Klester's free distribution plan, so they don't spend a penny.

Its box office was 10.65 million.

Klester made 1.72 million yuan, while Qi Yukun made more than 200 yuan outside the box office, which was more than Klester made.

This is also the reason why he only needs to find another 10 million yuan for his next movie.

"The next is the second group, the third prize "Gang Rinpozi". The jury believes that this movie interprets a kind of beauty of faith with simplicity. Please ask Director Zhang."

This film uses pseudo-documentary techniques to focus on the path of pilgrimage for Tibetans.

In fact, it was screened at the Rotterdam Film Festival in September last year.

However, since it has not been released in China, it is summarized into the second group, which means that it has already had a film, but has not been released yet.

Director Zhang also sighed after coming up: "We were discussing not long ago. It really doesn't work. Just release it like this. Whether it's good or not, the audience's final say is that it's not that the wine is fragrant and not afraid of the deep alley. In fact, they are all poor. Now, with these two million, we can also do promotional and promotion."

"Director Zhang, we Kleist has a free release plan for art films." Liu Xiaomei reminded next to her.

"Isn't it okay if you invested?" Director Zhang estimated that he had been filming this documentary like a documentary for the past or two years, and he really couldn't keep up with the times.

"It's all OK, but there are certain quality requirements. Director Zhang won the third prize in the second group of the movie, so there is naturally no problem with quality." Liu Xiaomei shoulders the responsibility, in addition to hosting, and also promotes Klester, to a certain extent, to enhance everyone's impression of Klester.

"Haha, it turns out that's OK."

Then he stopped talking about his words and just trotted down with the trophy and check.

"Then, next is the second prize in the second group, "Happy Mourning". The jury believes that this movie is calm and passionate, but it can make people feel as if they are on the bottom of the sea at the end, deep and suffocating. Another director Zhang, please invite director Zhang Tao."

This director Zhang has a much better image and temperament.

In fact, he was admitted to the postgraduate student in the film theory and practice direction of the Film and Television Department of the Central Academy of Drama in 2012, and was a real academic intellectual.

"There are not many people who know me, and there are probably even fewer people who know me. I am shameless and take the film to participate in the selection. I hope more people will see my movie, not to make people laugh, nor do they ask people to wake up. As long as I can watch it once, I will be satisfied. I have learned about "Gang Rinpozi" and let me be ahead of him. I feel deeply uneasy. I will work harder in the future. Thank you everyone and everything."

Then I went down.

His movie was actually quite shocking. The jury once intentionally named it first in the second group, but after comprehensive consideration, he chose another one.

"The second group, the first prize, "Roadside Picnic", the jury believes that this is an unparalleled, master-level work. The whole movie is like a lyric poem, soft and radiant and shining. It is one of the best Chinese art film debuts. Director Bi Qian is invited to direct it."

This movie has actually been bought by Du Qixi for 20 million yuan, released by Klester, etc.

However, awarding the first prize to this movie is definitely not for the promotion and hype of the movie.

In fact, Klester does not interfere with the jury's selection activities.

A group of art film directors, not to mention that they all have pride, at least their artistic bottom line is several levels higher than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, why would they have to work hard on art films?

Such people can't buy them at all.

The reason why they ranked Bi Qian's movie first in the second group was really because everyone highly praised him.

"Thank you everyone, thank you to the jury. I spent 500,000 yuan to shoot this movie. Klester bought it and gave me 20 million yuan. Now I have sent me another 5 million yuan. I don't know what to say. Gradually, I believe that this is a masterpiece," Bi Qian joked first, and then said humbly: "I hope everyone will not be infinitely elevated by this movie. It is a movie, and there are many things to improve. If I were such a genius, I would not have made such a movie seven years after entering the industry."

Whether it is artistic or economic affirmation, he is indeed full of gratitude to Klester.

He had no money to publish "Roadside Picnic", and 500,000 yuan was his family's fortune, and he borrowed a lot from his girlfriend.

Kleist acquired his movie for 20 million yuan, making him an instant millionaire.

On the last day of 2015, he and his girlfriend held a wedding. Du Qixi, who was on the side of Klester, flew to Guizhou to attend the wedding in person and gave him a big red envelope.

"I hope Director Bi can shoot more classic works in the future. Next is the selection of the third group. What must be explained here is..." Liu Xiaomei explained the works about this group.

The third group of selected people are those movies that have not started making.

This type of movie is often just a script or original work, or even just a creativity, and the project is formed through the director's statement.

You haven't even taken it, so it's very difficult to select.

Fortunately, everyone is the most professional in the industry, and you can still distinguish between good and bad.

Unlike several other groups, any project that wins the prize in this group can also receive an investment from Klester in addition to getting the bonus.

It's what we meant for your project.

Of course, this is not mandatory. If you don’t accept Klester’s investment, you can get the bonus and find someone else, or simply use the bonus trick to shoot it yourself.

"Then, I will continue to announce the three winners of the third group. The winner of the third prize is "August". Please invite director Zhang Xiaolei."

Zhang Xiaolei is a post-80s generation, very young - of course, he is a little older than Bi Qian, who is from 1989 and he is from 1982.

The new director grew up in the Inner Mongolia Film Factory compound. He started to finish rock music in high school. When he was in his second year of high school, he formed a GRUNGE-style rock band with his classmates and independently produced underground albums.

At the age of 16, he was admitted to the Director Department of St. Petersburg National Film and Television University.

After graduating from college, he returned to his hometown and participated in some crew work. During this period, he not only filmed some short films, but also filmed wedding activities.

He has been preparing for the movie "August" since 2008 and has created scripts.

During this period, he co-directed the drama film "The Rats" with Guo Jialiang, created the soundtrack for the film, and also co-directed the micro-film "Oath" with Luo Wei.

This time, when he heard his friends talk about Meow Grain Culture Night, he sent the script directly.

Then, on Meow Grain Culture Night, he replied to him and invited him to participate in the selection.

Although it is only the third place, there is nothing to be ashamed of being able to win the award with the script alone and getting the investment opportunities of Klester.

"The third group, the second prize, "Twenty-Two", this movie has actually received investment from Klester, but the jury believes that this is a movie that deserves everyone's recognition, so he decided to award the award to him. Please invite the director Guo Ke, who created "Thirty-Two".

This is the second time that Guo Ke has received investment from Klester.

Therefore, words of gratitude are endless.

"The third group, first prize, "Love in the Blossom of Cherry Blossoms", please invite young director Hu Bai!"
