Now three publishers have approached Babanke, wanting to win the distribution rights of "Buried Alive".

Rocca's purpose in coming to Berlin was not only to attend the awards ceremony, but also to sell the film at a good price. If the film can sell an extra $200 million, it's okay to make a trip in vain.

"I originally planned to take the film to the Sundance Film Festival. There are more producers participating in the Sundance Film Festival"

At the H4 Hotel Berlin Alexanderplatz, Babenke leaned on the sofa with a cigar in his hand, and said with a glance at him.

Roca smiled lightly, is he blaming him for not being strong?

The Sundance Film Festival is held at the end of January every year. When he broke out, the Sundance Film Festival just ended.

He took a sip of hot coffee, "What's the highest offer now?"

"Mr. Kelly, Lionsgate has offered $200 million and wants to win distribution rights in North America."

Babbank's assistant said.

Roca pondered for a moment.

Lionsgate Films is a powerful American independent film distribution and production company. This year's "Chain Saw" was a big hit at the box office, which also aroused Lionsgate's attention to thrillers.

Later, films such as "House of Thousand Corpses", "Shivering Ocean", and "Hunting the Living Dead" were released successively, and the box office results were also good.

Now they have taken a fancy to "Buried Alive", and it is only natural.

It's just that 200 million is too little.

The protagonist of "Buried Alive" is an American and uses English, and the plot also suits the tastes of American audiences.

In addition, he is considered a star in the American entertainment industry, and he has traffic in himself.

And the old man Babanc is the most famous director in Brazil, and he was nominated for an Oscar for best director.

Such a quotation is too sorry for the two of them.

"Can we talk again?"

Rocca looked at the old man.

Babenke puffed his cigar and said slowly, "If you can get the trophy, the other party will naturally increase the price. If you can't get it, they may lower the price. This is a gamble."

"Is there a chance?"

Roca frowned.

"Yes, but the chances are small. In recent years, Brazilian films have received little international response, not even comparable to their neighbors Argentina and Peru."

This year, an Argentine film "The Lost Embrace" was also shortlisted for the main competition.

It was also nominated for a Golden Bear.

The movie is about a Jewish love story, and the response after its release was also good.

The media speculates that this film may become the biggest winner of this year's film festival, and the leading actor in the film, Uruguayan actor Daniel Handel, is also very likely to win the best actor trophy.

Compared with the thriller "Buried Alive", the chances are very small.

"So should we make a move now?"

Since the chances of winning the prize are small, it is safer to make an early move.

"Wait a minute, "Buried Alive" is very good, you should be more confident in the movie"

Babank laughed.

"All right!"

Roca glanced at the old man. Could it be that the old man is sure to win the award?

But you should think about it.

At such an old age, the old man came to the film festival with illness at the end of the twelfth lunar month. Isn't it a bit inhumane for the organizer not to give him a bear?

After chatting for a while, Roca returned to his room. He was going to go out for a walk, but when the cold wind blew, he shrank back.

He had just arrived in Berlin, and he was not used to the temperature here.

Ed called.

Rocca lay in the bathtub and chatted.

"You've only been back for a few dozen days this time, why did you make a movie and even go to a film festival?"

Ed said helplessly on the phone.

Rocca twitched the corner of his mouth, "I said I don't know, do you believe me? I was still filming on the set, and the assistant director suddenly told me that the film was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival. Can you imagine how I felt at that time?"

"Hahaha~, you went to the film festival before the movie was finished?"

"Yes, the director lied to me with all the crew. Do you know how difficult it is for me?"

Rocca said while covering his forehead.

Ed laughed, "How's the atmosphere at the film festival? Do you have a chance to win an award?"

"There should be..."

Rocca analyzed it. The movie "Buried Alive" is about a person who was buried in a coffin during the Iraq War and bid farewell to his friends, lover and family before he died.

In a way, this is an anti-war movie.

Against war, world peace.

In terms of conception, it is not inferior to other movies.

Also, it has been a long time since Brazilian films participated in the film festival, and the crew came from afar, so can the organizer not give an award?

It's just that he can't guess which award he can get.

In addition to the best film, best director, best actor and actress, and best music in the main competition unit of the film festival, there are two commemorative trophies-Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution, Alfred Bauer Silver Bear bear award.

All things considered, the best director and commemorative trophies are the most likely.

"Do you have a chance to win Best Actor?"

Ed asked again.
