Chapter 155 Obsession【23】

Out of her confidence in Gao Fei, Han Li originally wanted to sign a gambling agreement when negotiating with Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

That is: if the ratings of "Longing for the End of the World" reach the baseline they agreed on, then the program producer Xiong'an Entertainment can enjoy a part of the advertising share.

For this reason, before negotiating with people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, Han Li was even mentally prepared for their harsh demands.

But I didn't expect that when Han Li mentioned the gambling agreement, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV didn't even bother to talk about it, and directly and resolutely stated that they would never consider this kind of cooperation.

Seeing this situation, Han Li had no choice but to give up.

Later, during the negotiation process, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV tried to lower the price, but Han Li suffered a bloody blow.

It's a trade-off.

But despite this, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV did not give up.

After all, they have already seen the finished film, so the TV station is actually quite optimistic about this program.

Just when the negotiations were at an impasse, news suddenly came out that "Search" had been shortlisted for the main competition section of the Cannes Film Festival.

So taking this opportunity, Han Li immediately pursued the victory.

Seeing this situation, people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV finally agreed to Han Li's price after thinking for a long time.

…

In the study room in the backyard.

Han Li quickly placed a contract in front of Gao Fei, and then said with a slightly raised smile:

"We have reached an agreement with them, and the three episodes of the first season have been sold for a package price of 10 million yuan."

"If we continue to cooperate in the future, the settlement will be based on a price of five million per issue. Of course, this is only a preliminary agreement and everything will have to be confirmed after the show is released."

After hearing this, Gao Fei nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Yes, it seems that this program alone will be enough for the Xiong'an Racecourse to operate for fifty years!"

Seeing that Gao Fei was so confident, Han Li stopped saying anything.

Then he saw her and turned around and pulled out a folder and handed it to Gao Fei.

"Boss, this is the invitation I received after the news came out that "Search" was shortlisted for the main competition section of Cannes. How do you think I should handle it?"

Seeing her say this, Gao Fei immediately looked over the page out of curiosity, and then couldn't help but said with a surprised look on his face:

"Ning Hao clearly said that this year's Cannes Film Festival, we are the only one in the country that has entered the main competition. Why are so many Chinese films popping up now?"

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but chuckle and said:

"The Cannes Film Festival doesn't just have the main competition section. Besides, even if they can't participate in the selection, they can still sell films!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but curiously examine it carefully.

The result is really hard to understand, and shocking when you look at it.

This was the first time Gao Fei knew that the Cannes Film Festival had a term for "viewing films".

Naturally, this kind of "viewing film" cannot be compared with the films in the main competition unit.

Compared with the movies that generally go to the Cannes Film Market to sell their films.

The only advantage of "viewing films" is that they are selected by the film festival and can be advertised and promoted for free.

To put it simply, it saves booth fees.

Films such as "Underworld 2" shot by Johnnie To and Wanwan's film "The Thread" are among the films to watch at this Cannes Film Festival.

Of course, they are not the only Chinese-language films at this Cannes Film Festival.

For example, "Summer in River City" directed by mainland director Wang Chao was shortlisted for the "Un Certain Regard" category.

As for the Xiangjiang ghost film "Ghostland" starring Li Xinjie, it was selected as the closing film of the "Un Certain Regard" section.

It's just...the invitation Gao Fei received didn't belong to any of the above movies.

I saw Han Li flipping through the memo and saying:

"This time the Cannes Film Festival is expected to start on May 18, 2006 and officially end on May 29."

"Huayi Brothers is planning to hold a large-scale cocktail party for "The Night Banquet" on the beach in Cannes on the evening of May 22."

"According to information provided by Huayi, Huayi President Wang Zhonglei, Media Asia CEO Lin Jianyue, director Feng Dagang, starring Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Xun, Wu Yanzu and others will all appear."

"Huayi hopes that you, boss, can bring the crew of "Search" to support us."

Having said this, Han Li immediately paused slightly.

After Gao Fei nodded slightly, she just checked the memo.

Then Han Li continued to say in an orderly manner:

"The film "Dragon and Tiger Gate", invested by Shanghai Film Studio and directed by director Wilson Yip, is also preparing to hold a cocktail party in Cannes on the evening of May 23."

"The producer of "Dragon and Tiger Gate" has also sent out an invitation. I hope you, boss, can attend when the time comes."

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, he actually didn't really want to attend this kind of cocktail party.

But there is a saying that goes well: Brothers are hostile to each other, and they should resist their insults from outside.

Even though Gao Fei has never had a good impression of Huayi Brothers, he is not very familiar with the people from "Dragon and Tiger Gate".

But Gao Fei, who is out of town, is also a Chinese and can help, still feels that he should help.

Maybe his meager strength is of no use, but it's good that Gao Fei can maintain this atmosphere.

So after thinking for a moment, Gao Fei asked Han Lidu to agree.

…

May 17, 10 am.

After meeting Wang Jing, the crew of "Search" directly boarded the flight to Cannes.

However, compared with before, there is one less member of the creative team.

On the plane, Ning Hao shook his head helplessly and said:

"I can't help it. Brother Fei is almost crazy because of that story."

"Ever since the last filming of "Search" was completed, she turned down all her film appointments and concentrated on preparing for her movie."

"Let alone Cannes at this time, I guess even the Oscars can't take her away."

After saying that, Ning Hao couldn't help but sigh again.

Although Yu Feihong had already resigned when Ning Hao was admitted to Beijing Film Academy, this did not prevent him from considering Yu Feihong as the goddess of his dreams.

Therefore, he has settled some of Yu Feihong's personal matters.

And after Gao Fei listened to Ning Hao's ramble.

Only then did we know that Yu Feihong had bought the rights to adapt the novel "Ginkgo! Ginkgo!" in 1996.

Later, while acting, he spent nearly four years adapting the novel into the movie script "Love Has an Afterlife".

It can be said that Yu Feihong has been planning for "Love Is Afterlife" for ten years.

When he heard this, Gao Fei immediately understood why Yu Feihong didn't even bother to pay attention to the Cannes Film Festival.

It's just that although he respects Yu Feihong's choice, out of an actor's intuition, he still feels that Yu Feihong's directorial debut may be a flop.

After all, a movie does not get better the longer it takes to prepare.

Sometimes, the longer the preparation time is, it will have a negative impact on the movie.

So when Ning Hao said that Yu Feihong had been planning for ten years, Gao Fei felt that this beautiful royal sister might be sad soon.

It's just that the mountains are high and the rivers are far away. Neither relatives nor friends, Gao Fei still can't interfere with Yu Feihong's personal life.

And based on his understanding of Yu Feihong, he probably wouldn't be able to listen to any advice in his current state.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei no longer struggled.

After flying for more than ten hours, when the crew of "Search" walked out of Nice Airport, their eyes were filled with all kinds of colorful giant movie promotional posters.

This made Cannes, an otherwise ordinary seaside town, suddenly become full of vitality and vitality...
