Chapter 344: Arrival in Berlin

Ten hours of travel, it is indeed very tiring, but this is no way, when Zhou Bai and his party came to Berlin, it was already a big night, fortunately, the hotel has been booked, just check in.

The three crews are together, and there are more than a dozen people in total, and Lao Mouzi is also starting to get older, and after chatting with Zhou Bai casually, he went to the hotel to rest.

Among the crowd, the most excited is the actors who came to participate for the first time, after all, this is Berlin, and it would be a lie to say that you don't want it.

Feng Shaofeng, Miao Qian, Fan Bingbing, and Wang Baoqiang are all coming to Berlin for the first time to participate in the film festival, and even after a long flight and transfer, the excitement on the faces of these people can still be seen.

"I saw a lot of posters along the way, and it would be nice to put our movie on the roadside to promote it. Wang Baoqiang said to Li Yang beside him.

"Those are Hollywood films, they are using the Berlinale for promotion, they are all films that are going to be released in Europe, so we have to work on that, our films will not be released for a few days, and there will be posters. Li Yang said with a smile.

""Blind Well" is scheduled for the 13th, it will open tomorrow afternoon, we have to stay here for a few days, I have already seen the movie, your performance in it is very good, and you will definitely be able to get applause at that time, remember not to be too nervous. Zhou Bai glanced at Wang Baoqiang, who was babbling, and said with a smile.

It's not the first time Zhou Bai has seen Wang Baoqiang, he also saw him when he visited the class, this product looks very simple, and there is a strong local atmosphere when he grins, and the authentic Henan dialect is even more eye-catching, so that Zhou Bai can't help but be happy when he sees him.

He is not like people in the entertainment industry, it is Zhou Bai's first feeling, Zhou Bai also chatted with him a few words when he visited the class, Li Yang still dug him out among the many extras and let him play the leading role, what he values is the original simplicity of his body, and after Zhou Bai came into contact with Wang Baoqiang, he found his extraordinary wit in his simplicity.

"Are we going to release it later? Brother Bai, your "Hero" will be released on the 7th, and I saw your movie poster on the road, it's handsome. Wang Baoqiang grinned, and the words with an accent made everyone present couldn't help but be happy.

"Haha, I think so too. However, the film festival has an unclear rule, the more movies are released in front, the more hopeful they want to win awards, and "Hero" is a martial arts film or a commercial film, the most important thing is not to win awards, but to improve the publicity effect, I think "Blind Well" has a lot of hope of winning awards, maybe you will take an actor back then. Zhou Bai laughed and said to Wang Baoqiang.

"That's impossible, how can I win an award, if I want to win an award, it's also a director who wins an award, I don't know how to act. Wang Baoqiang touched his head shyly and said.

"Don't listen to him, it's hard to win the Berlin acting award, your role in it is not enough to win the award, if you want to win the actor, I think with "Painless Love", Zhou Bai has some hope, don't forget that "Painless Love" is scheduled to be released on the 12th, and there are 14 shows. Li Yang patted Wang Baoqiang's shoulder and said, making Wang Baoqiang breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's hard to win awards, I just hope that "Painless Love" can sell well, whether you can win individual awards depends on luck, I think Berlin and Hollywood are so closely integrated this year, I'm afraid that they will be inclined to them in terms of awards. Zhou Bai shook his head, he really didn't have much confidence in winning acting awards, Koslick knelt down and licked Hollywood, if he didn't release a few awards, it is estimated that people would not be willing to cooperate.

But as long as there is a film festival, there will be some unspoken rules behind it, and the Oscar with the highest gold content in the world is the same, but it will be more obscure in the practice and set a certain threshold.

The domestic film awards are criticized not for pork, but for the threshold, and it will not be too controversial to choose which one among the many excellent movies, but if it is obviously a footwrap that exudes the smell of stinky feet, and it is still held like a baby, then other audiences will complain.

The reason why Hollywood has the first gold content is because its industrial system has been completely processed, and the huge volume supports many excellent films.

Everyone's level is about the same, the public relations ability of a certain movie is weaker, and it is no wonder that others do not win the award, and the standard of the film that wins the award will not be too bad, the result is that the gold content of the award is not lost, and the box office can also be increased if it is nominated, and it is naturally fair to spend more money to win the award and get more benefits.

Any film festival wants to be completely fair, that is unrealistic, the film festival to enhance its influence must be combined with business, and the combination with business will inevitably be affected, you pretend to be high-minded, no one will give face, and the final result is that people will not play with you.

"The screening rights of "Blind Well" have not been sold now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover the cost, right?" Li Yang sighed and said, after filming the movie, he couldn't help but worry about the recovery of the cost of the film.

Zhou Bai was very happy when he gave the funds, and he also contributed a lot in the process of filming, Li Yang himself was very grateful, if this movie lost money, he felt sorry for Zhou Bai.

"You don't have to worry about this, we sell movies in Europe, we sell euros, the copyright of a country is 180,000, and in the end we can get 1.8 million, and we can recover the cost when we exchange it for RMB. Zhou Bai said with a smile, full of confidence.

"That's good, literary films have become more and more difficult in recent years, and now the best selling in the world is Hollywood movies, and it was not difficult to sell the copyright of a literary film before, but now it is different, if there are no well-known directors, the price they give can make you angry. Li Yang nodded and rubbed his brows, he didn't have much confidence anyway.

Not only in Asia, but now the whole world is being hit by Hollywood movies, and Europe is becoming less and less interested in the original Chinese literary films, if the movie is an old-fashioned thing, they are really unwilling to spend money on it.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything, you have to believe my vision, I've never lost money. Zhou Bai grinned and said with relief.

"It's getting late, let's go to the hotel to rest first, if you're hungry, let the hotel send something to eat, I'm going to participate in the promotion of "Heroes" tomorrow, so I'll go up first. Zhou Bai looked at the watch in his hand, said hello to a few people present, and went up with Lin Chufang with his luggage.

"Good. ”

"Brother Bai walks slowly. Wang Baoqiang waved his hand and said.

"Let's go up and rest, we have to go shopping and go shopping tomorrow, the film festival lasts a lot of time, there are a lot of opportunities. ”
