I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

The first group, the first prize, The Labyrinth of the Mind. The jury thinks this is a classic that can leave a name in film history. Please guide Xin.

The reason why we didn't find an award presenter was because it was unnecessary and made everyone uncomfortable. After all, directors of literary films are not very different from ordinary directors.

Letting an eye-catching girl like Liu Xiaomei read out one by one, it is better than any guest presenting awards.

This is not a joke, is it really five million? Xin Yukun, the director of Mind Labyrinth, didn't quite believe that he won the award after coming up, and openly questioned it.

Yes, five million. Faced with such a silly question, Liu Xiaomei nodded solemnly without any contempt or impatience.

This money... is a bit ashamed. I only spent two million to make a movie. He was fooled by the money.

Everyone in the audience let out a burst of good-natured laughter.

Throughout last year's literary and artistic films, The Labyrinth of the Mind is a classic that cannot be avoided.

Its script is extremely strong, showing a black humor effect similar to the Coen Brothers movie.

Some people say that it is the best domestic suspense movie of the year, not one of them.

Some even said it was the best mainland movie of the year.

In short, Kleist gave it the greatest affirmation. It was the first group, that is, the first place in the screening group, with a prize of 5 million.

Thank you, Crab, Crab, Crab. Here, I would like to publicly force the palace. I have a new film, which costs about 10 million. Now there are 5 million here, and there is still a difference of 10 million. Can Kleist give it to me? vote?

Sure enough, he is a director of a literary film, his brain circuit is different from that of ordinary people.

Also, if it were the same, how could a classic like The Labyrinth of the Mind be made.

At this time, everyone's eyes were on Du Qixi.

Du Qixi gestured an OK gesture to the stage, which almost made Director Qi Yukun faint with joy.

Any literary film director has the dream of getting Kleist to invest.

Kleist is the dream lover of literary film directors.

The reason is very simple, Kleist only collects money from domestic theaters, and at most an additional network broadcasting right, and the network broadcasting right is not free, it will give some money.

A huge source of income for literary and artistic films is actually Guo Jia's subsidies, as well as film festival subsidies and so on.

Kleist did not take any of this money.

For example, Mind Labyrinth, with a production cost of 2 million yuan, was not spent on the announcement because it was included in Kleist's free distribution plan.

Its box office is 10.65 million.

Kleist earned 1.72 million, while Qi Yukun earned more than 200 yuan outside the box office, more than Kleist earned.

This is also the reason why his next movie has a budget of 17 million, and he only needs to find another 10 million to make it.

Next is the second group, the third prize Kang Rinpoche. The jury believes that this film interprets the beauty of a belief in simplicity. Director Zhang is welcome.

This film uses a pseudo-documentary approach to focus on the Tibetan pilgrimage.

In fact, it was screened at the Rotterdam Film Festival last September.

However, since it has not been screened in China, it is classified into the category of the second group, that is, there has been a finished film, but it has not yet been released.

After director Zhang came up, he also expressed emotion: We were still discussing it not long ago. It really can't be done. Let's just show it like this. Whether it's good or not, the audience has the final say. It's not that the wine smells and the alleys are deep, but they are all poor and troubled. Well now, with these two million, we can also make a public announcement or something.

Director Zhang, we at Kleist have a free distribution plan for literary films. Liu Xiaomei reminded beside him.

Isn't it okay if you don't invest in it? Director Zhang estimated that he has been shooting this documentary-like thing for the past two years, and he really can't keep up with the times.

It's all possible, but there are certain quality requirements. Director Zhang, your film won the third prize in the second group. Naturally, there is no problem in terms of quality. Leicester, to a certain extent, enhance everyone's impression of Kleist.

Haha, so it can be like this.

Then I didn't say anything about my testimonials, and just trotted down with the trophy and the check.

Then, next is the second prize of the second group, Happy Mourning. The jury believes that this film is calm and passionless, but it can make people feel like being in the bottom of the sea at the end, deep and suffocating, and it is another Director Zhang, I invite director Zhang Tao.

This director Zhang's image and temperament are much better.

In fact, in 2012, he was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama Department of Film and Television as a graduate student in the direction of film theory and practice. He is a real academic intellectual.

There may not be many people who know me, and even fewer people who know my film. I have the cheek to take the film to participate in the selection. I hope more people will see my film. Just a smile, and I don’t want people to wake up to it. As long as I can read it once, I’m satisfied. I’ve learned about Gang Rinpoche, and I’m deeply disturbed to be ranked ahead of him. I will work harder in the future. , thank you all, thank you for everything.

Then go down.

His movie was actually quite shocking. The jury had deliberately rated it as the first in the second group, but after considering it comprehensively, they chose another one.

The second group, the first prize, Roadside Picnic. The jury believes that this is an unparalleled and master-level work. The whole film is like a lyric poem, soft like water and radiant. One of the best Chinese-language art film debuts, please invite Bi Gan to direct.

In fact, this movie has already been bought by Du Qixi for 20 million yuan, and it was released by Kleist and so on.

However, awarding the first prize to this film is definitely not for film promotion and hype.

In fact, Kleist does not interfere with the selection activities of the jury.

A group of literary film directors, not to mention all of them are proud, at least the artistic bottom line is several grades higher than the average person, otherwise, why would they bother with literary films.

This kind of person can't be bought at all.

The reason why they ranked Bi Gan's movie first in the second group is really just because everyone respects him so much.

Thank you, thank you to the jury. I spent half a million yuan to shoot this movie. Kleist bought it and gave me 20 million. Now he sent me another five million. I don’t know what to say, slowly, I myself believe that this is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation,” Bi Gan first joked, and then said humbly: “I hope everyone will not overestimate this movie, it is a masterpiece. Movies still have a lot of room for improvement, if I was such a genius, I wouldn't have made such a movie after seven years in the industry.

Whether it is artistic affirmation or financial affirmation, he is really grateful to Kleist.

He didn't have the money to release Roadside Picnic. Five hundred thousand was his family fortune, and he even borrowed a lot from his girlfriend.

Kleist bought his film for twenty million, making him an instant multimillionaire.

On the last day of 2015, he and his girlfriend held a wedding. Du Qixi from Kleist flew his girlfriend to Guizhou to attend the wedding in person and gave him a big red envelope.

I hope that Director Bi will shoot more classic works in the future. Next is the selection of the third group. What must be explained here is... Liu Xiaomei explained about the works of this group.

The third group of selection objects are those films that have not yet started filming.

Such movies are often just scripts or original novels, or even just an idea, which is formed into a project through the director's expression.

You didn't take any pictures yet, so the selection is very difficult.

Fortunately, we are all the most professional people in the industry, and we can still tell the difference between good and bad.

Different from the other groups, any project that wins an award in this group, in addition to the bonus, can also get an investment from Kleist.

It means your project, we voted for it.

Of course, this is not mandatory. If you do not accept Kleist’s investment, you can find someone else after you get the bonus, or simply use the bonus trick to shoot it yourself.

Then, I will continue to announce the three winners of the third group. The third prize winner is - August. Please invite director Zhang Xiaolei.

Zhang Xiaolei is born in the 1980s, very young—of course, he is a little older than Bi Gan. Bi Gan was born in 1989, while he was born in 1982.

The rookie director grew up in the compound of the Inner Mongolia Film Factory. High school began to end rock music. In the second year of high school, he also formed a grunge rock band with his classmates, and independently produced an underground album.

At the age of 16, he was admitted to the director department of St. Petersburg National Film and Television University.

After graduating from university, he returned to his hometown and participated in some crew work. During this period, he not only shot some short films, but also worked as a shooter for wedding events.

He has been preparing for the movie August since 2008, writing the script.

During this period, he co-directed the feature film Mice with Guo Jialiang, and composed the soundtrack for the film, and co-directed the micro-film Oath with Luo Wei.

This time, he heard his friends talking about the Miaoliang Culture Night, so he sent the script directly.

Then Miaoliang Culture Night wrote back to him, inviting him to participate in the selection.

Although it was only the third place, he was able to win the award based on the script alone, and also got an investment opportunity from Kleist, so there is really nothing dissatisfied.

The third group, the second prize, Twenty Two, this movie has actually been invested by Kleist, but the jury thinks this is a movie worthy of everyone's recognition, so it still decided to award the award For him, please invite Guo Ke, the director who created Thirty Two.

This is the second time Guo Ke has received investment from Kleist.

So the words of gratitude are flowing.

The third group, the first prize, When the Cherry Blossoms Bloom, young director Hu Bo is invited!

I love the name when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, but it's not bad for an elephant to sit on the ground
