Hassan Mostafavi's interview with Fars News Agency at the 40th Fajr Film Festival. ===== Hassan Mostafavi, the producer of the movie "Last Snow" in an interview with the film reporter of Fars News Agency, said about the experience of attending the 40th Fajr Film Festival : "Fortunately, very good things happened to the movie "The Last Snow" At Fajr Film Festival and I am very satisfied. He added: Those who receive awards from the Fajr Film Festival are always happy, and those who do not receive awards complain and are unhappy with the events. But I think the spirit of such festivals is a good thing, because it brings filmmakers together. Fajr Film Festival is an opportunity to encourage filmmakers to each other , that is to create a spirit of empathy.

This filmmaker said: Fajr Film Festival and its awards show us that if someone is higher and better than us, we should praise and encourage him, not protest why someone is better and higher than me. For example,

Pejman Jamshidi's movement It is commendable at the end of this year's festival.

Referring to the four crystal Phoenixes received by the film "Last Snow" at the end of the 40th Fajr Film Festival, Mustafavi stated: As aproducer of an independent film, I really did not imagine that our film would win an award , because I felt that the award is divided between films that are made with government funds. To be honest, the fair judging of this year's festival made me very happy. He said about the screening of the film "The Last Snow": we received four crystal Phoenix at this year's festival, which will have a positive effect on our screening. But this is not the only prerequisite for a successful version. We still haven't decided when to release The Last Snow movie, because we need to consider the Corona issue and the right player to have a good release for this movie.

=== The story of filmmaking in the city and the strange costs of hotels from the words of Hassan Mostafavi in a live conversation on Instagram with Mojtaba Ahmadi, the secretary of the culture and art department of Borna news agency : === Hassan Mostafavi's complaint about the lack of planning of the directors in the making of films is due to the fact that as this process becomes longer due to unnecessary factors, the costs that include the current project will increase, and this will be to the detriment of all the project factors, but the only person who is to blame. It is known that they are producers and production managers.

Another issue that increases the cost of building a project in the city is the expectation of actors from the producer and productionmanager to provide VIP facilities. Requesting a single bed room for each actor is one of these factors.

The huge incomes of Shahrazad serial actors are a rumor.
Mostafavi added in a live Instagram conversation with Mojtabi Ahmadi that due to the fact that hear ranged all the contracts of the actors of this series, astronomical salaries are not involved and even the income of the actors of Shahrazad series was much less than many TV series.

It is very important to support private investors in cinema.
According to Hasan Mostafavi, it is very important to support private investors. Because if they are supported and taken care of, they will re-invest in other projects and the production groups will have the ability to produce more projects.

=== With these wages, the cinema will be closed next year. Hassan Mostafavi's conversation with Farhikhtegan newspaper === If we want to proceed with the same procedure and with the current wages, I think that by next year,Iranian cinema will be closed. The reason is that when I want to produce a film, I have to spend four to five billion.

\ When I spend this amount, the film must sell 12 to 15 billion to return my main money.

=== In the continuation of this conversation, Hassan Mostafavi talks about the duties of a production manager, denying the rumor of abuse by the producers, denying the rumor of astronomical income of the actors of Shahrazad series. ===

Duties of a production manager from the language of Hassan Mostafavi:
The production manager is the safe person of the producer. That is, after the producer, he is considered the second person of a film. He is a person who is hired by the producer to conclude contracts and manage the money that he or the investor has given him and of course to manage the entire project. I always say that the production manager is the heart of a film and the scheduler is the brain of that film. It's kind of the bad guy of the movie, because the production manager is the one who should, if necessary, stop you from doing your job properly, why you were late, why you didn't do it well etc.

Also, a production manager, by estimating the cost and announcing it to the producer, is responsible for managing the desired amount and bringing it to the end of the film

Mostafavi: I deny the abuse of producers to prepare the project and I have never encountered such a case.

Also, in this conversation, Mr. Mostafavi denied the astrological incom of the actors of Shahrazad series.
Hassan Mostafavi: Considering that I signed all the contracts of the actors of this series, even the director, I am aware of the full details ofthese expenses, such a thing is not true. I was the production manager of that series. Neither Mr. Shahab Hosseini, nor Mrs. Taraneh Alidousti, nor any of the actors of that series, got an unusual figure. Due to the history of Mr. Hosseini and Mrs. Alidousti, the unusual amount was not paid.
