Chapter 198 Fame and fortune
Teacher Mo and Director Cen were too busy being happy to report the good news back home. They also received many calls congratulating them.
Their school often produces great and good directors, but there are still only a few students who win international awards.
Especially a female director.
When Wang Lan got the news, he called to congratulate his old friend.
Her master Zhen Lai still remembers that little crazy Gao You.
Li Xiyan and Pan Yufeng also called immediately to congratulate Gao You.
Li Xiyan sighed with emotion, it was great that her adopted sister had made a name for herself in the film industry in just two years.
Pan Yufeng was very proud. She was an old woman with good taste. She took a liking to this disciple at first sight and found that he was indeed a good guy.
Director Xu and Leung Ka-ying also called Gao You to congratulate her.
Leung Ka-ying also wanted to take this opportunity to finalize her collaboration with Gao You on his next film.
However, Gao You had his own arrangements and only said that the script was being prepared.
Gao Shuang has also been following the reports on this film festival.
So when Gao You called and said that she walked the red carpet wearing her clothes, Gao Shuang was very happy.
At the last Sartorial Film Festival, after Gao You and her friends walked the red carpet in Hanfu, her orders for custom-made Hanfu suddenly increased.
She later set up a traditional clothing workshop with Grandma Ding and Master Li.
The handicraft workshop has good business. Even some celebrities come to them when they want to wear Hanfu to attend important events.
Now, Grandma Ding’s daughter and granddaughter also come to the workshop to help after work and help pass on Grandma Ding’s craft.
So, when the news came that Gao You won the award, Gao Shuang cried and laughed at the same time.
She often reads various film magazines and has some understanding of the importance of these film festivals.
My little sister, I won a big prize abroad!
She called Liu Yue'e and Gao Ping early in the morning and told them about it.
Liu Yue'e and Gao Ping are not very familiar with these awards.
But Gao You won the award last time and won it again this time.
Gao Shuang said that this time the prize is even bigger, little sister, you will become famous abroad!
Liu Yue'e still doesn't quite understand what this award is, but it's good to have an award.
She was happy.
Gao Ping was also happy.
As Gao Shuang said, Liu Yue'e found the report about Gao You's award in the evening paper she bought from the newsstand.
Now she has no problem looking up the dictionary and reading the newspaper every day.
She also ordered a few copies and placed them in the store. In her free time every day, she and Gao Ping would read them and learn about the outside world.
In the literary column of the newspaper, there was a large section reporting on Gao You's winning of the award.
Gao You's "Factory Pianist" is the only Chinese-language film at this year's film festival.
Gao You, who is only a sophomore, won such a prestigious award, attracting attention from all walks of life.
Because it was the provincial capital's evening newspaper, after the reporter knew that this was a movie shot in the provincial capital, he specially went to interview Director Ji of the Hope Factory and learned about the filming process from them.
Director Ji and Wan Xiuchun and others also saw the report about Gao You winning the award in the newspaper, and saw the gifts made by the children in the photos on the red carpet. Director Ji's eyes were wet when he saw it.
The last time Gao You called, he asked Director Ji if he was interested in introducing a thermos cup production line.
Director Ji and Wan Xiuchun's family began to consider this matter.
After conducting thorough investigation, both of them felt that there was great potential for development.
Now the new factory has started construction.
Mr. Li Xiyan also helped contact foreign manufacturers.
Director Ji is now discussing with some manufacturers about introducing production lines.
Wait for the production line to be introduced, put into production, and make more money.
The working environment of the workers can be improved a lot.
There will be hope for the canteen, dormitories, children's playground and mutual aid association in the future.
After reading the newspaper, Liu Yue'e was happy and proud for her little girl.
She wanted to buy fifty copies at once, keep some of them and put some in the store to circulate among customers.
However, there were not so many copies in one newsstand, so Liu Yue'e went to several newsstands, bought sixty or seventy copies, and took them back to the store.
After reading the report, Gao Ping was also happy for her younger sister.
My little sister is flying so high!
She might not fly that high, but she doesn't want to fall behind.
With Liu Yue'e's support, Gao Ping also went to night school.
Gao Ping also plans to attend a cooking class in the future to further improve her skills.
My younger sister said that only by constantly improving the formula and launching new products can their store remain open longer.
On the night after the award ceremony, Yu Lishu and the others did not return to their rooms, but played in Gao You's room all night.
The next day, Gao You was full of energy and went to meet with Teacher Mo and other major film producers to have a good chat about the transaction of "Factory Pianist".
The value of a film being nominated and winning an award is naturally very different.
The original price that Director Cen negotiated with them for the adaptation rights was between thirty to forty thousand dollars.
Now that he has won the Golden Director Award, his value has more than doubled.
Director Cen and leaders of film-related departments also attached great importance to Gao You's film. After several rounds of bargaining, the two sides finally agreed on a high price of $80,000.
This is just the price of the adaptation rights of a film company in the Beacon Country.
In the end, together with the broadcasting rights in several countries, it was sold for about $160,000.
Excluding various taxes and other fees, Gao You earned about 500,000 yuan for this film, which cost about 100,000 yuan.
Moreover, this time she paid for the film herself, and all the profits belonged to her.
This time, Gao You gained both fame and fortune and returned home with a full load.
The most important thing is that we have enough money for the next film.
Mo Huan has already started writing the script and it is expected to be completed next month.
Gao You is now starting to prepare for this film.
After returning to Beijing, Gao You and his delegation received attention and welcome from all parties.
A large red banner reading “Warmly congratulate our sophomore student Gao You for winning the Golden Lens Award at the Simona Film Festival” was hung at the school gate.
It is still summer vacation now, and many students have gone home, so there is not that kind of excitement that attracts everyone's attention.
After Gao You socialized with school leaders, principals, and teachers, he took Yu Lishu and the others back to the glass factory.
Shen Yan said that they prepared a simple celebration banquet.
The location is in the second cafeteria.
A celebratory banner was also hung at the entrance of the glass factory, which read "Warmly congratulate Gao You, director of the Glass Art Factory, for winning the Golden Lens Award at the Simona Film Festival."
After Gao You rented the entire glass factory, he revitalized all the idle factories nearby.
Now most of the vacant factories in the surrounding area have been rented out.
The glass factory actually regretted the decision, thinking the rent was too cheap.
He also hinted to Gao You about renegotiating the lease contract.
Gao You didn't want to spend too much time on this with them.
I discussed new cooperation with them.
If she can revitalize a glass factory, she can also revitalize other factories.
At worst, she can just move. There are still many idle factories in Beijing.
