Open the chat software, all are all kinds of congratulatory messages.
Even Zhu Xiaoce and others took a small video of the scene and sent it over. It was a mess, and they saw that there seemed to be a lot of people shouting and cheering.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and decided to clarify the most basic question first.
What is the Jury Prize
Although Pei Qian usually watches movies, he has almost no involvement in these professional award ceremonies, and at most he knows an Oscar statuette.
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, like the Golden Bear and Golden Lion in the other two film festivals, is the highest international award in the film field.
The last time a domestic film won the Palme d'Or was in 1993, and that was the only time.
The Jury Prize is considered the second highest award.
The last time a domestic movie won this award was back in 2000, so the headline of that news would say "Award after 11 years".
After reading the popular science on Qiandu, Pei Qian didn't know whether he should be uncomfortable or happy for a while.
Fortunately, it is not the Palme d'Or, just a second place.
Pei Qian was afraid that his physique of the European Emperor would play a role again. If he really won the Palme d'Or, it would be a big trouble!
This is not completely impossible. After all, the more professional film critics are, the easier it is to make up their minds. Who knows which film critics in Europe and the United States will make up a bunch of things when they see the theme of "Better Tomorrow"!
But the current situation is enough to make Pei Qian speechless.
Although it is the second place, it is difficult to get it!
Domestic films have worked hard for 11 years, and almost every year they go to Cannes to send their films to the premiere, but most of them are accompanied by running, and it is impossible to get the second place.
As a result, I made a film myself, and I just wanted to feed the audience a drug and lose a little money. As a result, the domestic box office was bursting, even if I went to the film festival to win an award
Something must be wrong in 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, a quiet and peaceful scene.
Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he arranged for Feihuang Studio to be in shock. Otherwise, all the employees of Feihuang Studio would directly block the door of their office to say congratulations to themselves. Who can stand it
At least ensure that their own spring water is safe.
However, just 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 streamers came one after another, and the entire office area instantly became lively.
“surprise!!”
"Mr. Pei, congratulations!"
"Better Tomorrow won the award, and Director Zhu Xiaoce thanked you specially! Let me ask you an interview, how do you feel at this time?"
Everyone got up from their seats in unison, some holding fireworks and ribbons, some applauding, and some pouring champagne.
Pei Qian looked at Assistant Xin blankly: "This..."
Assistant Xin explained with a smile: "Mr. Pei, considering that the employees of Feihuang Studio are all on vacation, and the film's main creative team is still abroad, we prepared this celebration ceremony for them."
"After all, how can something so worthy of celebration be fooled?"
Pei Qian: "..."
You are so thoughtful.
But I don't need this celebration, damn it!
Someone next to him served champagne, and everyone present had a share.
Pei Qian could only hold up the glass silently and drink it all in one go.
Hao Yun, who was standing on the side, was a little stunned, and asked doubtfully, "Uh, Mr. Pei, shouldn't you say a few words first?"
Pei Qian put the wine glass on the table next to him: "It's all in the past, there's nothing to talk about. Okay, everyone, let's get to work!"
Still celebrating
Now to celebrate once, Huang Sibo and the others come back to celebrate again, still want me to suffer twice
There are no doors!
When President Pei entered his office and closed the door, Assistant Xin smiled slightly and said to everyone, "President Pei's character has always been like this. Well, let's start working. It's not too late to celebrate when Huang Sibo and the others come back."
On the other hand, Wu Bin was on the side, quickly recording in the small notebook.
"Sure enough, after so long, President Pei's personality has not changed."
"I heard that Mr. Pei was like this when he was a great success in "Fortress at Sea". He just took a symbolic sip of champagne to celebrate, and immediately devoted himself to the next work."
"When I heard from Bao Xu, I thought it was just an artistic exaggeration."
"After all, even if those successful people don't lie on the credits of the past, they won't even save a short celebration, right?"
"It seems that this is true. It's not an exaggeration at all. President Pei is just such a person."
"Well... It seems that this paragraph can be written into the annotation of Tenda Spirit and sent to Cui Geng to let him consider how this material should be used."
…
In the office, Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and started looking at the 99+ unread messages.
Most of the content in it was congratulations, and the content was the same, so Pei Qian silently ignored it.
I can't come back at all, and if the other party takes the opportunity to start chatting again and tout "A Beautiful Tomorrow" after returning, isn't that a second injury to President Pei
So, Pei Qian thought about posting a Moments later, and said thank you very much, but there are too many messages to reply one by one, and he is blocking the new messages in Moments, and this is over.
Turning over and over, Pei Qian suddenly stopped.
His eyes stayed on a message sent by Lin Chang.
"Mr. Pei! Congrats! Going to Jingzhou in a while, you have to treat me to a drink! Although the film itself is of excellent quality to win the award, I will find a way to select the film for you and send it to Cannes. credit?"
Pei Qian: "???"
I hurriedly typed a reply: "Did you choose to send the film?"
It didn't take long for Lin Chang to reply.
"Mr. Pei, why are you only replying to the message now, were you too high last night and drunk too much?"
"Of course, I found someone to send it. Cannes has always only preferred films that premiered at its own film festival. If there is no way, the judges will not accept it at all."
"But Mr. Pei, I'm not taking credit. I'm very honest. I didn't expect "Better Tomorrow" to win an award. I just saw that the film's box office abroad was too bleak, so I can help you."
"If you can win the award, that's mainly because Mr. Pei, your film is good, and you have completely conquered the jury. Otherwise, the relationship will not work no matter how hard it is."
Pei Qian: "..."
Got the dog!
It turns out that you are behind the scenes!
Pei Qian seriously considered, can he find a way to arrange compensation and compensation within Shenhua Group
For example, arrange it in the office of the president of Shenhua Film and Television
Things in the company are really clear, but things outside the company are still blind!
"That really betrays your good intentions. As far as I know, it seems that "Better Tomorrow"'s overseas box office performance is too poor, will it be withdrawn soon?" Pei Qian replied with a dark face.
He is mainly worried about two points. The first is the sharing contract signed with Ellie Island. After winning the movie, a lot of new viewers will definitely go to the Internet to watch it, which is another income; Foreign video websites have to spend a lot of money to buy the overseas online copyright of "Better Tomorrow".
As for the overseas box office, "Better Tomorrow" was released at the beginning of the month. The film scheduling rate was not high, and the box office performance was not good. It is estimated that it will be withdrawn soon.
Lin Chang: "Cancel the file? The latest news, after "Better Tomorrow" won the award, it has already been screened in overseas media! Major theaters have extended their schedules for a month, and the film scheduling rate has also increased."
"A film like this that won the jury's award is not bad in itself, so how could it be withdrawn? The theaters also want to take advantage of this popularity to make more money!"
Pei Qian: "..."
I'm asking what's the point of this.
It's really a blessing, and misfortunes do not come singly!
I originally thought that the overseas release of "Better Tomorrow" was a false alarm, but now it's better. After a film festival has passed, the situation has changed!
Pei Qian felt extremely melancholy, this cycle was simply a sudden increase in pressure.
What about making bad movies and burning money
This movie has made a wave in China, a wave abroad, a wave in the theater, a wave in the Internet... There is no end to it!
Pei Qian felt that this was his worst investment.
Uh... No, maybe the second failure.
The honor of the first failure should always be attributed 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 begin. Are you ready to be filmed as a rainbow fart?"
Pei Qian: "?"
Lin Chang: "Sometimes, before a good thing goes abroad, everyone makes an evaluation, and after it goes abroad, it becomes another evaluation."
"I am very curious now. Before, many people thought that "Beautiful Tomorrow" was filmed nondescript. Chinese people didn't like it, and foreigners didn't like it either. But now "Better Tomorrow" won the award at Cannes, what should I say?"
"Okay, Mr. Pei, continue to be happy, remember to invite me to drink after I arrive in Jingzhou!"
Looking at the chat record with Lin Chang, Pei Qian fell into silence.
Really bald!
…
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 am the designer of Mr. Pei's sloth apartment project."
"Oh! Please take a seat."
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, Liang Qingfan said his intentions.
"Mr. Xiao, I wonder if you are interested in changing the decoration style for Moyu Internet Cafe?"
After completing the sloth apartment project, Liang Qingfan has been traveling in Jingzhou recently, collecting inspiration and waiting for President Pei's next instructions.
But after waiting for a long time without news, he also felt a little bored.
Then, Liang Qingfan decided to step on the spot first.
There are so many industries under Mr. Pei's hands, including Moyu Internet Cafe, Moyu Takeaway, managed gym, sloth apartment, etc., all of which need to be decorated.
If you can take all of these down and design a few popular well-known cases, it will be very important to improve your reputation.
What's more, he knows very well that Tenda's department is not short of money, and the design fee will certainly not suffer.
So, today, he came to Moyu Internet Cafe to meet Xiao Peng, and planned to get to know him in advance, so that it would be more convenient to cooperate in the future.
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "I don't need it for now. 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 that a place needs help. Why don't you go to the Fright Hostel?"
"I'll give you the phone number of the person in charge over there, surnamed Chen, just contact him directly."
