Chapter 147 What Did You Do Last Night?

After the "Best Screenwriter" award was announced, the "Best Debut" film was awarded to a foreign director, and the subsequent "Best Mandarin Film" and "Best Foreign Film" awards were naturally not for Yan Ran.

However, if you think about it from another perspective, there are probably tens of thousands of independent films produced in the world every year. It is rare to win awards at well-known film festivals, no matter what awards they are. With this in mind, everyone will not feel unwilling or regretful.

When the film festival ended, Xu Rui announced generously: "I will treat you later, let's celebrate together."

It was late, and the group of people did not choose a special place, as long as there was beer and barbecue, but they were happy, and Yan Ran did not allow everyone to celebrate without restraint. Barbecue was free to eat, but the amount of alcohol was limited, and no one was allowed to get drunk to avoid accidents at night.

The news spread quickly on the Internet. Before they left the venue, the news that "The Night the Comet Came" won the "Best Screenwriter" award spread among the fan group. This award was also a recognition of the plot of the movie, which made many people look forward to it more and more.

Yan Ran thought that several video platforms would actively communicate with her, but she didn't expect that the other party would be more active than she expected. They contacted her one after another during dinner the next day.

After answering the phone, Yan Ran came to Xu Rui and whispered: "The Haibao platform just gave a quotation. The other party provided three ways to sign a contract. One is to charge according to the number of members' playbacks, one is to purchase a single film, and one is to buy out the copyright.

If calculated by the number of playbacks, an effective playback share is 0.5 yuan. If it is a single film purchase, the price is 6 yuan, 28 split, 80% for the platform and 20% for us. Then there is a copyright buyout, and the quotation is 1 million. After that, it has nothing to do with us. The previous platforms were also about this price. What do you think?"

Xu Rui thought about it and gave his own advice: "If you have no confidence in yourself, or you are in urgent need of capital turnover and are anxious to get your money back, you can choose to buy out the copyright, otherwise you can exclude this option first.

At present, most people are more resistant to the situation that they have already entered the platform as VIP but still have to buy a single film. Moreover, for a small-cost independent film like ours, if the single film is priced at 6 yuan like many big productions, it is easy to It is easy to be criticized for being ugly. I think the first one is better. "

"Yeah, that makes sense!" Yan Ran and Xu Rui have similar ideas. Since they agree, it is easy to make a decision. "I'll listen to you. According to the number of views, if one effective view is 0.5 yuan, if the whole network can have 10 million effective views, it will be 5 million, which is also very good. Do you think you can have 10 million effective views?"

"Difficult." Xu Rui said, "The other party's offer to you is also low. If it is a big director and a big production, you can get an effective view of 1-3 yuan from the theater. 0.5 is too little. And excluding the most popular big IPs, a movie can have millions of effective views on a platform. It can be considered a masterpiece. I estimate that our movie is easy to recover, but it is a bit difficult to make a lot of money! "

"That's not bad. People should be content. "Yan Ran stopped calculating and celebrated happily with everyone.

It was past midnight before they returned home.

Du Xiao stood in the living room and said to Yan Ran: "Where are you going to put your first trophy? Is this living room missing a trophy display cabinet?"

Xu Rui reminded: "Rented houses usually don't come with trophy display cabinets, right?"

Yan Ran continued to remind: "And it's not my first trophy. I won several awards in school."

Du Xiao waved her hand: "Oh, don't bring up the ones from school."

Seeing her flushed face, she was definitely not drunk, but she was a little slurred in her speech. Yan Ran pushed her into the house: "Okay, okay, we still have to contact various platforms to sign contracts tomorrow, so go and wash up."

"Tsk." Du Xiao snorted, "Okay, then I won't bother you."

When she returned to the room, Yan Ran turned and looked at Xu Rui: "Then I... will also go back to wash up and rest?"

Xu Rui suggested: "You can go to my room to rest."

"How can I rest in your room!" Yan Ran complained in a low voice and quickly slipped away.

Xu Rui thought about it and felt that she was right. Don't think about resting that night.

After returning to the room to wash up, Xu Rui lay on the bed, picked up his phone and found that Yan Ran sent him an "unable to sleep" expression.

"Too happy?" Xu Rui asked.

However, Yan Ran did not reply for a while. After a long time, another message came: "I was lying in bed and thinking, I seem to have forgotten to lock the door."

Xu Rui stared at the screen for a few seconds, got out of bed decisively, opened the door and quietly came to Yan Ran's door, opening and closing the door lightly and quickly.

Seeing him come in, Yan Ran leaned against the head of the bed, pulled the quilt to her neck, and asked in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

"Help you lock the door." Xu Rui locked the door skillfully.

The surprised expression on Yan Ran's face was a little bit unpretentious, and she smiled with her lips pursed: "Is there anyone who helps like you!"

"Why not."

"What are you going to do next?" Yan Ran said, one hand stretched out from the quilt wrapped in the quilt, touched the table lamp button on the bedside table, "click", turned off the light, and the room became dark in an instant.

A moment later, a short conversation came from the bed.

"Who asked you to come up."

"You turned off the light, aren't you giving me some kind of revelation?"

"Revelation? I didn't give it to you, don't talk nonsense!"

"Is your bed strong? Does it shake? For example, does it make a 'creaking' sound?"

"Don't ask me, how do I know? If you tell me again, I'll bite you!"

"How do I bite?"

"Ah, this is different from what I thought! Why did you bury your head in the pillow?"

"I was afraid of making a sound."

"It's useless!"

The next morning, when Du Xiao woke up, Xu Rui and Yan Ran were having breakfast.

Yan Ran pushed the milk and the plate of fried eggs over and asked with concern: "Did you sleep well last night?"

Du Xiao nodded: "Very well."

Xu Rui also asked: "You drank so much yesterday, don't you have a hangover and headache?"

"It's okay, I just drank some beer, why do you say I have a poor alcohol tolerance." Du Xiao sat down and said casually, "It's rare that you didn't treat me as a transparent person so early in the morning and care about my sleep so much... huh?"

Seeing that Du Xiao seemed to have noticed something wrong, Xu Rui immediately changed the subject: "Today we will talk about the online broadcast, you and Yan Ran go, I have to go to the company."

Unfortunately, Du Xiao was not so easy to fool, and her eyes swept over them suspiciously: "Wait, wait, wait, let's talk about business later. Did you do something last night... Bah, ask again, did you do it last night?"

"My phone rang." Yan Ran stood up, "You wash the dishes."

Xu Rui looked at the time: "It's getting late, Brother Liang is coming to pick me up."

Du Xiao: "..."
