Director Li also understood very well after hearing these words that publicity and public relations are very important. He also hopes to win the award. Although it is not 100% sure, if publicity and public relations are used, then the probability of winning at this time will be very high.
, he didn’t want to go back empty-handed, he also wanted to go back with the trophy, but the crew didn’t have the money.
Ye Ming also saw at this time that the crew really had no money, and the director seemed hesitant to speak.
At this time, Ye Ming said very simply: "Mr. David, tell me, if we are doing publicity and public relations at this time, how much will it cost to achieve good results? Money is not important to me.
Problem, if we want to do it, we will do our best.”
Having money makes it easier to do things, which made David feel energetic at this time. He hesitated for a moment, probably calculating the required expenses, and then said: "I roughly calculated it. At this time, if we want to do something bigger,
If we want to leave a deep impression on everyone, we need to find some public relations companies. At this time, we also need to rent some venues to show our film and invite some people at the film festival to watch it, especially some important figures.
, these all require a certain fee, probably between 200,000 and 300,000."
Ye Ming said firmly without hesitation: "Okay, then I will give you 500,000. Find me the best public relations company, find me the best theater, and invite me to attend the Berlin Film Festival. Identity is most important."
I invited some media reporters and corresponding judges and so on. Anyway, invite me all you can to make the whole thing more grand. But one thing I want to say is that I don’t get these money for free.
,right?
As for this money, after our film rights are sold, we must first make corresponding deductions. If it does not reach 500,000, I will deduct it in proportion. If it reaches 500,000, then I will deduct another 500,000, and then I will deduct it in proportion.
Enjoy corresponding dividends.
There seems to be a lot of overseas copyrights, and they are all in your hands, Mr. David. This must be done with your consent."
Producer David, of course, also hopes that the film will win awards. He likes money, but he likes fame even more, because in Europe and the United States, it is easier to make money after you have a reputation.
If you win the prize, you will definitely be able to sell it for a high price. If you don’t win the prize, you won’t be able to sell it for much money even if you sell it.
So, David said without hesitation: "There is no problem with this. Whoever invests will benefit. This is standard business behavior. I definitely have no objection to it. We can write this into the contract."
If you have money, it’s easy to do things. I will definitely handle this matter beautifully. Although I can’t say 100% that I will win the award, I am 100% sure that this film will be remembered by everyone at the Berlin Film Festival.
Make a deep impression.
In this case, even if our Black Frame film fails to win the award in the end, you will definitely be deeply impressed by Director Li and Mr. Ye Ming as the leading actor. Next time if any of your works come to the Berlin Film Festival
If so, everyone will think that you should be acquaintances and direct descendants of the Berlin Film Festival, and they will naturally take care of your works.
So even if we don’t win the prize, we won’t waste the money we spend. Please rest assured, Mr. Ye Min. No matter how hard you work, you will gain. That’s the truth.”
At this time, Ye Ming nodded and said: "Okay, let's prepare the contract first, and then I will transfer the money to your account. Let's hurry up on this matter as soon as possible, otherwise other film crews will come over.
If we continue to do this, we will appear to be a little behind the times."
David immediately nodded and said: "That's not the truth. We have to seize every opportunity as soon as possible. Don't worry about the contract. I'm ready. I'll be ready when I come. If you agree
, then I will sign a contract with you, and then I will work on this matter. Today I will definitely ensure that the film "Black Frame" will become famous at the Berlin Film Festival.
Within two days, I can guarantee that almost all mainstream media will issue exclusive interviews on this aspect.
There is also a special issue published by the organizing committee. I will also contact people to make an in-depth report. Anyway, this can maximize the use of media resources for publicity.
Those people in the public relations company are still very good at it. As long as we are responsible for paying the price, we can hold a cocktail party tonight."
Speaking of things like this, David is a professional, and a professional is a professional. He actually carried the contract with him. When he saw that the matter was almost settled, he took out the contract directly.
This should be one of the reasons why David works so hard to help. There is money to be made. As an overseas producer, in addition to the profits from some of his overseas copyrights, in fact, this kind of public relations also has his own commission.
Yes, these are all established rules.
Ye Ming looked at the contract and found that there was nothing suitable. This was also a contract for entrusting public relations, including some responsibilities and rights of both parties and payment terms, so he signed it directly, and then what?
, transferred $500,000 to David.
Soon, the account was received from the bank, and David immediately said: "Okay, then I will start the relationship and contact the person. You can just wait tonight. I will hold a grand party in the hotel and bring Berlin to Berlin."
Most of the celebrities related to the film festival will be invited.
At least half of Chairman Robinson will be here. If he is in Berlin now, I will try my best to find him. The unit is also a kind of practical producer. After receiving the money, he will go to work directly.
At this time, Li Dongfeng and Director Li said worriedly: "Ye Ming, you just gave him 500,000 US dollars. Good guy, how much did we spend on the whole movie? You just gave him 500,000 US dollars."
Just throw it out. Aren't you afraid that the money will go down the drain?
I have confidence in our film, but I have no confidence in the Berlin Film Festival.
If this money is really wasted, I feel a little sorry for you."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is just a big gamble. Don't worry, director. Just like David said about our movie, well, if we don't do public relations or promote it, who will recognize us? You said
If we say there is something worthy of others’ attention in the place we are going to, is it you or me?
No, the key is that we have nothing, right?
This thing is definitely not possible, our heroine is not here, so at this time, the most famous person in our crew is actually Sister Mi.
Moreover, he is still well-known in China. After he goes abroad, he probably won’t know too much about it. Sister Mi, it’s not that I look down on you. The only thing our domestic stars can do internationally is
It can be found out."
At this time, Damimi doesn’t have any excessive rebuttal. She has not yet understood the domestic entertainment industry, let alone the international one. She is very clear about this.
Therefore, Da Mimi nodded calmly and said: "I don't deny this. I came here just to attend the red carpet, just to put some gold on my face.
Among our domestic actresses, there are really only two or three big cats and kittens that are truly internationally renowned. I don’t deny this.
As the one who attends the red carpet, I am the most famous among our team. To be honest, I do not deny that the crew does lack characters who can carry the banner."
At this time, Ye Mingcai said seriously: "Director, you heard it too, is this the case?
David has just said it, you are a new director, you have no aura at all, the organizing committee does not know who you are at all, it would be easier if Director Zhang came, then the internationally renowned director and organizing committee
The chairmen and judges of the conference are all very familiar old friends. It doesn’t matter if they come to promote it or not.
As long as people come, it's publicity, but we haven't reached that point. I'm not an international star. I'm just a newcomer in China starting to enter the entertainment industry again, so we don't have any leverage at all.
.
The most famous member of our crew is Sister Mi. To be honest, even if she is famous, she is still in China. The two of us are not even famous in China.
However, although our film was selected by the Berlin Film Festival, our crew did not have a role that we could play. If we didn't do something, we were destined to be a movie about accompanying the prince to study. It was not easy for us.
We have come this far. It can be said that our movie can come this far. It is the kind of luck that smokes from the ancestors' graves. I guess we may not have such good luck in the future, so since we
With such good luck to get to this point, why don’t we give it a try?
But don’t worry, I’m not just taking a gamble. Our film has actually passed the preliminary rounds and entered the main competition, which means that we have indeed been recognized by some people. Otherwise, the judges would not
It might have attracted our movie.
In this case, even if we don’t win an award, our film will still be appreciated by a certain amount of film producers.
Because if we can be shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival, it at least proves that our film art image is no problem, so we can always sell some copyrights. As for how much we can sell, it’s hard to say. Anyway, in the end, we won’t be able to get a single share.
The money can't be sold, otherwise it would be meaningless for you, Berlin Lin, to participate.
Even the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee will not see this happening, so we will definitely sell some copyrights by then. Even if I invest in these copyrights in advance, it will more or less allow me to get back some funds.
,right?
Even if it is a loss, it is impossible for me to lose all the 500,000, so I give myself a chance, but one thing is true, I am indeed my wife.
But it doesn’t matter, now is the period when my career is on the rise. If I can really win an award, then I will have at least one international award close to me. Now that I’m in China, I will have some confidence to work in the entertainment industry.
So you don't have to worry about money.
I invested this money willingly. Now that I have come, of course I want to go to the top to see how beautiful the scenery is."
Ye Ming had already mentioned this. Of course, Director Li had nothing else to say except thank you. Ye Ming trusted him quite a lot and asked people to come over to shoot black frames with just one sentence.
And at the film festival, he used his own money to promote the crew.
After thanking each other, both parties dispersed.
As for David, he does have two skills. It must be reasonable for someone to dare to ask for 500,000. An hour after this, he had already contacted three print magazines for interviews, and two TV stations came over.
Do a special show.
Director Li and Ye Ming were extremely busy during the day today.
Da Mimi doesn’t have much to do, but no matter what, she still appears in front of the camera as a vase.
Let’s not talk about anything else. As a vase, Da Mi Mi is definitely very eye-catching. That vase is also shocking to foreigners, especially Da Mi Mi, with her proud figure, she is also very eye-catching.
Brilliant.
And since she is coming to the Berlin Film Festival, Damimi naturally looks for the media to guide her. Today she also found time to go to various iconic places of the film festival for exclusive interviews, photos, etc., regardless of whether she has any works to participate in.
, but my sister has arrived at the Berlin Film Festival.
As for the party in the evening, news came from there at 5pm, and David called to say it was at 7pm.
A grand movie party. When the time comes, the chairman of the jury, Robinson, and most of the judges will come to attend.
David. What he means is that it is very simple. Director Li, Ye Ming and others are asked to prepare to attend today's movie party. This is a very good place to promote movies.
For this reason, Ye Ming specially changed the location of the crew to the luxurious Hilton Hotel.
Hilton Hotel is a well-known international hotel chain. Although I can’t say it is the most expensive hotel in Bolin, at least Hilton Hotel is among the most expensive.
Anyway, living here is expensive, and it is really expensive. But, as David said, your crew is not well-known, so everyone needs to see the financial resources of the crew.
When you meet for the first time, a crew that is not short of money will always leave a deep impression on others. It doesn’t matter what kind of impression you have, whether it is a wealthy person or a pioneer in literature and art. Anyway, you have to leave an impression on others first.
.
If others don’t even have the slightest impression, who will remember your movie Black Mine? So it is imperative to change hotels at this time.
Hilton Hotel, one of the most expensive hotels in Berlin.
Of course, this is also part of David's plan. Changing hotels is a must. After changing hotels, Director Li and Ye Ming will have a presidential suite each.
Because David planned to invite Robinson to the room to have a private discussion with Director Li and others. If it were an ordinary room, it would not show the crew's financial resources.
So the presidential suite looks more luxurious, at least this kind of tall house will show respect for the chairman of the jury, Robinson.
Damimi was lying on the sofa in the presidential suite at this time and said lazily: "Ye Zi is a really nice place. The five-star presidential suite is really nice. This is my first time staying in this kind of room. Don't forget to do it while filming."
When it comes to staying in a star-rated hotel, having a single room is already considered good.
It will be great if one day I can stay in a five-star hotel while filming."
At this time, Ye Ming also said very confidently: "Sister Mi, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with this matter. Sooner or later, you will stay in a five-star hotel when filming. When the time comes, you can stay in the hotel."
It’s so annoying when you see the hotel.”
At this time, Damimi glanced at the window, and then said: "Please close the curtains. I am wearing Victoria's Secret now. What should I do if someone sees me? You are serious. You should pay attention to it when you go abroad.
It’s a matter of privacy.”
At this time, Ye Ming took a wet tissue and handed it over, and then said: "When we were working just now, you didn't ask me to close the curtains, and now you say it again, but don't worry, I've already seen this matter, and it's in the presidential suite."
Thin glass is not ordinary glass, it is one-way glass.
From the window, we can see the scenery outside, but it is impossible for people outside to see the scenery inside our room, so this is no problem.
But Sister Mi, you still have to clean up quickly, we still have to attend the party, and as one of the hosts, it would be inappropriate if we were late, right?"
At this time, Damimi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm already prepared. I've prepared clothing, headgear, and other items in advance. The company also specially used connections to find famous international brands that have not yet been put on the market."
The latest model, this one was only allowed to be borrowed for the sake of the Berlin Film Festival.
Because of my work, I will never hold you back, and I will definitely hold on to the situation."
