"Wonderful!"
"I didn't expect a 12-minute short film to have so many ups and downs!”
"Awesome, no wonder you won the short film Palme d'Or!”
"Lin Ran is awesome. This script is so well written.”
"Was Chen Kun killed in the end?"
"I think he should have been killed."
"That might not be the case."
“……”
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
After watching The Tuner, a heated discussion immediately broke out in the standard screening hall.
Many people who were originally unconvinced of Lin Ran were also convinced.
"Lin Ran, you did a good job."
In the first row, Xie Fei, the big boss of the directing department, also praised Lin Ran.
"Elder Xie, you flatter me." Lin Ran immediately said humbly.”
"Haha, Lin Ran, don't be modest. You're the most talented student in our directing department in recent years.”
Wang Rui was very satisfied with Lin Ran.
Because of Lin Ran's achievements, his chances of being promoted to vice principal were much higher.
At this moment, the emcee walked onto the stage and asked with a smile,"After watching the movie, what do you think?”
"It looks good!"
Gulinazar immediately replied loudly.
Since she couldn't openly announce that she was Lin Ran's girlfriend, she would turn herself into Lin Ran's little fan.
Otherwise, she would be suffocated.
"In that case, let's invite Director Lin Ran, Professor Xie Fei, and Professor Tian Zhuang Zhuang to come on stage and interact with everyone.”
Lin Ran asked the two respected old professors to walk in front while he followed behind.
Next, they would ask questions and exchange ideas about what the audience was interested in, and the two old professors would explain to the students on the spot why this short film won the Best Short Film Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
Half an hour passed.
Next was the commendation segment.
"Next, let's invite Director Wang Rui to the stage.”
Wang Rui walked onto the stage and looked at the crowd below the stands.
"In order to commend Lin Ran for winning the Best Short Film Award at the 67th Cannes Film Festival for 'The Tuner,' the school has decided to give Lin Ran a reward of 1 million yuan to fund the filming of Lin Ran's next film.”
Whoosh!
Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar.
Even Lin Ran was surprised.
Previously, when he heard Wang Haiyi say that the school would hold a commendation ceremony for him, Lin Ran thought that it would just be a certificate of outstanding student from Northern Film Academy.
He didn't expect Nortel to be so generous as to reward him with 1 million yuan.
"Here, I hope that all the students can learn from Lin Ran.
In the future, if you receive any prestigious awards, the school will also reward you…"
Wang Rui announced after the crowd quietened down.
The crowd rolled their eyes when they heard that.
Did he really think that the prestigious awards were cabbages that he could get whenever he wanted?
Moreover, to be able to win such an award, he probably did not lack that one million yuan.
The event ended at 7 pm.
Lin Ran declined the invitations from the others and left the school with Gulinza.
The two of them arrived at a hotel outside the school.
After entering the room, Gulinza took off her hat and sunglasses and pounced on Lin Ran like an octopus.
She looked up, her eyes full of admiration."Lin Ran, you're amazing!"
"You only know now."
Lin Ran smiled smugly. He hugged her slender waist and lowered his head to kiss her.
The two of them rubbed their ears and temples for a while before calling to order food.
The two of them didn't go back to school that night and stayed in a hotel.
Compared to last time, Gulinazar was much more natural this time.
What made Lin Ran feel a little regretful was that they still hadn't broken through the last layer of their relationship.
In the next few days, Lin Ran had been negotiating with the three major video websites, iQiyi, and Youku.
These three major video websites all wanted to get the copyright of The Tuner.
At first, the three video websites offered relatively low prices. The highest price was only 500,000 yuan.
Naturally, Lin Ran could not agree to this. He directly asked the three representatives who came to negotiate to watch 'The Tuner' first before discussing.
The effect was very good.
After watching it, the eyes of the three managers lit up. The level of excitement was far beyond their expectations.
Previously, they thought that The Tuner was like other award-winning literary films. The content was obscure and difficult to understand, and the audience did not like it.
But 'The Tuner' was completely different. This short film was very watchable.
Even they couldn't help but want to watch it a second time after the first time.
Because they also wanted to know if the Tuner had been killed. They wanted to look for hidden clues by watching it again.
All three video websites wanted to get this short film, and the price was getting higher and higher.
In the end, it was the rich and powerful QQ Video that got the exclusive copyright of The Tuner.
[Royalty: 3 million!]
In addition to the 2.76 million dollars from the sales of the copyrights at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as the 1 million dollars awarded by the school.
At this point, Lin Ran had earned a total of 22 million from The Tuner.
A short film that cost less than 100,000 yuan actually earned 22 million yuan. It was definitely a huge return.
However, compared to the famous Paranormal Activity, which had a production cost of 11,000 dollars and a box office of 197 million dollars.
The production cost of " Breyer the Witch " was 60,000 dollars, and the box office revenue was 248 million dollars. Compared to that, it was still a lot worse.
Even if these two low-budget movies could sold well, they relied on huge publicity fees.
However, the money the distribution company earned from these two movies was definitely more than 22 million yuan.
"22 million is enough for me to shoot a low-budget movie. It's time to start a new project.”
Lin Ran thought to himself.
