Chapter 527 Let's Congratulate Mr. Pei for Feihuang Studio
When I opened the chat software, there were all kinds of congratulatory messages.
Even Zhu Xiaoce and others took a small video of the scene and sent it over. The shooting was messy, and there seemed to be a lot of people shouting and cheering.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and decided to figure out the most basic question first.
What is the jury award?
Although Pei Qian usually watches movies, he has almost never been involved in these professional awards ceremonies. At most, he only knows about Oscar statuettes.
At this time, I can only turn to Qiandu for help.
Two minutes later, Pei Qian understood.
There are many awards at the Cannes Film Festival, the most important of which is the Palme d'Or, which is the highest international award in the field of film, just like the Golden Bear and Golden Lion awards at the other two film festivals.
The last time a domestic film won the Palme d'Or was in 1993, and that was the only time.
The Grand Jury Prize is considered the second highest award.
The last time a domestic film won this award was back in 2000, so the headline of the news read "Received the award after eleven years".
After reading the popular science on Qiandu, Pei Qian didn't know whether he should be sad or happy for a while.
Fortunately, it's not the Palme d'Or, it's just the second place.
Pei Qian was afraid that his Ouhuang physique would play a role again. If he really won the Palme d'Or, it would be a big deal!
This is not completely impossible, after all, the more professional film critics are, the easier it is to make up their minds. Who knows what European and American film critics will come up with a bunch of things in their minds when they see the theme of "A Better Tomorrow"!
But the current situation is enough to make Pei Qian speechless.
Although it is the second place, it is very difficult to get it!
Domestic films have worked hard for 11 years, and almost every year they send their films to Cannes for their premieres, but most of them are accompanied by runners, and it is impossible to get the second place.
In the end, I made a film myself. I just wanted to feed the audience a poison and lose a little money, but it was fine if the domestic box office exploded, but I was able to win an award at the film festival?
There must be something wrong with this world...
...
Pei Qian silently got up to wash up and came to the company.
On the 16th floor of Shenhua Grand View, all employees are working hard, creating a peaceful and peaceful scene.
Pei Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, he had arranged for Feihuang studio to go into shock, otherwise all the staff of Feihuang studio would have blocked the door of his office today to say congratulations to him, so who could stand it?
At least to ensure that their own spring water is safe.
However, as soon as Pei Qian stepped into the office, he heard a "bang", and the champagne cork flew into the sky!
At the same time, the sounds of various fireworks and ribbons also rose and fell, and the entire office area became lively in an instant.
"SURPRISE!!"
"President Pei, congratulations!"
""Beautiful Tomorrow" won the award, and Director Zhu Xiaoce also specially thanked you! Interview, how do you feel at this time?"
Everyone got up from their seats in unison, some were holding fireworks and ribbons, some were applauding, and some were pouring champagne.
Pei Qian looked at Assistant Xin blankly: "This..."
Assistant Xin smiled and explained: "Mr. Pei, everyone considered that the employees of Feihuang Studio are on vacation and the film's main creative team is still abroad, so we prepared this celebration ceremony for them."
"After all, such a thing worth celebrating, how can you fool it?"
Pei Qian: "..."
You guys are so thoughtful.
But I don't need this kind of celebration, damn it!
Someone nearby served champagne, and everyone present got a share.
Pei Qian could only silently pick up his glass and drink it down.
Hao Yun, who was standing aside, was a little dazed, and asked in confusion, "Uh, President Pei, shouldn't we say a few words first?"
Pei Qian put the wine glass on the table next to him: "It's all in the past, what's there to talk about. Okay, everyone, let's start working!"
Still celebrating?
Celebrate once now, Huang Sibo and the others come back to celebrate again, and want me to suffer twice?
There are no doors!
When Mr. Pei entered his office and closed the door, Assistant Xin smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Mr. Pei's personality has always been like this. Okay, let's start working. It won't be too late to celebrate when Huang Sibo and the others come back."
And Wu Bin was on the sidelines, quickly recording in a small notebook.
"Sure enough, after such a long time, President Pei's character has not changed."
"I heard that Mr. Pei was like this when "Sea Fortress" was a big success. He just took a symbolic sip of champagne to celebrate, and immediately devoted himself to the next work."
"When I heard about it from Bao Xu, I thought it was just an artistic exaggeration."
"After all, even if those successful people don't rest on the credits of the past, they can't even save a short celebration, right?"
"Now it seems that this is true, not exaggerated at all, Mr. Pei is such a person."
"Hmm... It seems that this paragraph can be written into the notes of Tengda Spirit and sent to Cui Geng to let him consider how to use this material."
...
In the office, Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and began to look through the 99+ unread messages.
Most of the content in it was congratulations, and the content was the same, so Pei Qian silently ignored it.
He couldn't come back at all, and after returning, if the other party took the opportunity to start chatting and tout "Beautiful Tomorrow", wouldn't that be a second injury to President Pei?
Therefore, Pei Qian thought about posting a Moments later, and said thank you very much, but there were too many messages to reply one by one. He was blocking new messages from Moments, and the matter passed like this.
Flipping through, Pei Qian suddenly stopped.
His eyes stayed on a message from Lin Chang.
"Boss Pei! Congratulations! When you go to Jingzhou in a while, you have to buy me a drink! Although the quality of the film itself can win the award, I will find a way to send the film selection to Cannes for you. Credit, right?"
Pei Qian: "???"
Hastily typed and replied: "You chose the film?"
Not long after, Lin Chang replied.
"Boss Pei, why are you only replying to the message now? Did you get too high last night and drank too much?"
"Of course I found someone to send it to me. Cannes has always only favored films that premiered at its own film festival. If there is no connection, the reviewers will not accept them at all."
"But Boss Pei, I'm not asking for credit. I'm very honest. I didn't expect "A Better Tomorrow" to win the award. I just saw that the movie's overseas box office was too poor, so I can help you a little."
"To win the award, the main reason is that Mr. Pei made this film well and completely conquered the jury. Otherwise, no matter how hard the relationship is, it won't work."
Pei Qian: "..."
Caught the dog!
It turns out that you are behind the scenes!
Pei Qian seriously considered whether he could find a way to arrange Guan Xiansheng within the Shenhua Group?
For example, arrange it in the office of the president of Shenhua Film and Television?
The things in the company are indeed clear, but the things outside the company are still blind!
"That really failed your good intentions. As far as I know, it seems that "A Better Tomorrow" has performed too poorly at the overseas box office, so it will be withdrawn soon, right?" Pei Qian typed back with a dark face.
He is mainly worried about two points now. The first is the sharing contract signed with Elli Island. After the film wins an award, there must be a large number of new audiences watching it online, which is another income; Foreign video sites have to spend a lot of money to buy the overseas online copyright of "A Better Tomorrow".
As for the overseas box office, "Beautiful Tomorrow" was released at the beginning of the month. The filming rate is not high, and the box office performance is not good. It is estimated that it will be withdrawn soon.
Lin Chang: "Withdrawal? The latest news, after "Beautiful Tomorrow" won the award, it has already been screened in overseas media! Major theaters have extended their schedules by one month, and the filming rate has also increased."
"A movie like this one that won the jury's award is not bad in terms of commerciality. How could it be withdrawn? The theaters also want to take advantage of this popularity to make more money!"
Pei Qian: "..."
I am asking too much what this sentence is for.
It's really a blessing, and misfortunes never come singly!
I thought it was a false alarm that "A Better Tomorrow" was released overseas, but it turned out to be a good thing now. After one film festival, the situation has changed!
Pei Qian felt extremely melancholy, and the pressure in this cycle was soaring.
What about making bad movies and burning money?
This movie makes a lot of money domestically, a lot abroad, a lot of money in theaters, a lot of money online...there is no end to it!
Pei Qian felt that this was his worst investment ever.
Uh... no, it could be a second failure too.
The honor of the first failure should always go to "Lonely Desert Highway" and the fifty thousand dollars.
Lin Chang continued: "Also, Mr. Pei, in two days, the second round of interpretation of your movie should start. Are you ready to be slapped with rainbow farts?"
Pei Qian: "?"
Lin Chang: "Sometimes, before a good thing goes abroad, everyone has one evaluation of it, but after it goes abroad, it is another evaluation."
"I'm very curious now. Before, many people thought that "A Better Tomorrow" was shot indecently. People in China and foreigners didn't like it either. But now that "A Better Tomorrow" won an award at Cannes, what should I say?"
"Okay, Mr. Pei, continue to be happy, remember to buy me a drink when I arrive in Jingzhou!"
Looking at the chat records with Lin Chang, Pei Qian fell silent.
What a bald head!
...
At the same time, Moyu Internet Cafe Handong University Store.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Peng, the person in charge of Moyu Internet Cafe, who are you?"
Liang Qingfan shook hands with Xiao Peng: "My name is Liang Qingfan, and I'm the designer of Mr. Pei's sloth apartment project."
"Oh! Sit down, please."
Xiao Peng and Liang Qingfan sat down by the window in the coffee area, and the waiter brought two cups of coffee.
After the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Liang Qingfan explained his reason for coming.
"Mr. Xiao, I wonder if you are interested in changing the decoration style of Moyu Internet Cafe?"
After Liang Qingfan completed the project of the sloth apartment, he has been traveling in Jingzhou recently, collecting inspiration, and waiting for Mr. Pei's next instruction.
But after waiting for a long time without any news, he also felt a little bored.
Then, Liang Qingfan decided to step on a spot first.
Mr. Pei has so many properties under his control, including Moyu Internet Cafe, Moyu Takeaway, Managed Gym, Sloth Apartment, etc., all of which need to be renovated.
If you can contract all these and design a few well-known well-known cases, it will be very important to improve your reputation.
What's more, he knows very well that Tenda's departments are not short of money, and they will definitely not suffer in terms of design fees.
Therefore, today he strolled to Moyu Internet Cafe to meet Xiao Peng, and planned to get to know Xiao Peng first, so that it would be more convenient for him to cooperate in the future.
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "I don't need it for the time being. Moyu Internet Cafe 1.0 and 2.0 are highly accepted by consumers, and it may be inappropriate to change the style rashly; Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 is currently under renovation, and it is not convenient for the time being." Revise."
"Of course, if Moyu Internet Cafe 4.0 is to be launched in the future, I will definitely contact you as soon as possible."
"However, I do know a place that needs help. Why don't you go to the Terror Lodge?"
"I'll give you the phone number of the person in charge over there, surnamed Chen, just contact him directly."
I'll write another chapter tonight depending on the situation
