Chapter 464: Berlin
With Wang Qianyuan winning the role of Ning Wei, the actors of the new version of "Blood Romance" are all in place, and the next work is directed by Teng Wenyi, the crew and the selection of location filming locations, all of which naturally do not need Song Zheng to be busy.

The preparation period still needs a month, taking advantage of this gap, Song Zheng is not idle, he has already asked someone to send Ning Hao's "Incense" to the jury of the Berlin Film Festival, the news just sent that this small-cost, small-production film was unexpectedly selected to become an exhibiting film, although it is still unknown whether it can be shortlisted for the main competition unit, but Song Zheng is already very satisfied with the exhibition.
At least it means that this movie can't lose money, not only can't it lose, but maybe it can make a profit, you know, Europeans use euros, and the gold content is absolutely leveraged.
The reason why he is so confident is mainly because Song Zheng heard a joke from Jia Zhangke and Lou Ye, saying that a Chinese director took his works to participate in film festivals abroad, as long as he went to the door of the cinema with a sad face, it was best to find a more sloppy outfit, and it wouldn't be long before someone would come forward to ask him what happened.
At this time, the Chinese director will say that the film he shot with all his savings and effort has been banned in China, and he has to try his luck abroad.
Generally speaking, at this point, you can congratulate the Chinese director, whose film will definitely be shortlisted for the main competition unit, and it will be 100% awarded.
When Song Zheng heard Jia Zhangke talk about this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
A film that does not even have the opportunity to respond publicly in China can be very popular abroad, and those foreign film critics can always dig out a lot of topics about human nature from this movie, so as to show their appreciation of film art, far more than domestic filmmakers.
Of course, Song Zheng disdains this kind of trick, and he will not make up nonsense in order to cater to the perverted and distorted appreciation tastes of foreigners, shoot movies with realistic themes and reveal ugly social phenomena, if it is really filmed, it is also because this kind of thing really happened in the land of China.
After arranging the affairs of the family, Song Zheng immediately took Ning Hao, Su Wenwen, and a group of them on a plane and flew directly to Berlin.
Originally, this year's Berlin Film Festival also had a Chinese delegation to participate in the exhibition, and Song Zheng's best choice was naturally to seek a team, but unfortunately, people were too lazy to play with them, or rather, their broken movie that was so dirty that it didn't even have a named actor to name, and people didn't look at it at all.
In this regard, Ning Hao expressed righteous indignation, and Song Zheng said that it didn't matter!
"It's a big thing, and I'm angry!" Song Zheng said, handing Ning Hao a cigarette.
Ning Hao took it casually, lit it, and said angrily: "I don't look down on people so much, Zhengzi, didn't you see the old guy's temperament just now!"
On the first day he came to Berlin, Ning Hao didn't do anything, and now he was half angry with his own people, Song Zheng asked for a long time before he understood what was going on.
It turned out that when he participated in the cocktail party held by the organizer today, Ning Hao bumped around with a big face, and promoted his "Incense" whenever he met people, but his English was not good, and he met a few foreigners who were willing to talk to him, and he said that the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth.
Just when Ning Hao was extremely disappointed, he suddenly heard someone say something in Chinese: Tu Lao Mao!
In the middle of a group of foreigners, such a pure Chinese sentence suddenly appeared, even people with a low sense of existence can be discovered instantly.
Ning Hao looked over and found that the person who spoke was also looking at him, obviously the phrase "Tu Lao Mao" was talking about him.
Ning Hao was not angry, and stepped forward to follow the other party's theory, but the result was that the person was lonely, and the other party was overwhelming, even if it was a group fight, there was no chance of winning, let alone a bickering.
Within a few rounds, Ning Hao was so angry that he was about to try his Shanxi vinegar fist desperately, when an old man came over and gave a lecture to the group of people who quarreled with Ning Hao.
Seeing that someone came to preside over justice, Ning Hao was so moved that he almost wanted to sacrifice his knees, but immediately after, the old man changed his words and aimed at Ning Hao again.
In front of so many international friends, how can they lose the traditional virtues of Chinese subtlety and humility, and besides, coming to the competition without the approval of the organization is itself a violation of the organizational procedures, and it is better to stop the precipice early and return to China.
The implication is that they are orthodox with the imperial brand, Ning Hao is naturally a wild seed that came out of nowhere, get out of the way as soon as possible, read in his interest, you can not blame the past, otherwise, there is a way to clean him up.
Ning Hao's mind is not as reckless as his appearance seems, it is absolutely thick and fine, if he can't hear this, it will be called a strange thing.
Fortunately, at this time, Song Zheng was calling him, otherwise, probably Ning Hao would have become the first director in the history of the Berlin Film Festival to be expelled for fighting.
Song Zheng understood, and looked at the pile of more than a dozen people with obvious oriental faces not far away, and there was really an elderly old man in the gang, Song Zheng was looking at others, and they were also looking at him with warning eyes.
Cut!
Song Zheng smiled disdainfully, and he really thought he was a character!
If Song Zheng were a chick, he might be able to scare this old girl, but he has been in this circle for several years, and he doesn't know everything!
Also tm country representatives too!
Song Zheng has never heard of it at all, there are other delegations from other countries who come to participate in foreign film festivals, and many of those who come to Berlin to participate in the exhibition are in their own names, and they don't even have a production company.
The so-called Chinese delegation is actually a group of film companies that have been allowed to participate in the exhibition gathered together, and in order to facilitate management, China Film invited an old representative of the film association who is highly respected in the industry to lead the team.
Give a mallet and you're ready for a needle!
Also look!
me! Let's watch it together!
Song Zheng was still persuading Ning Hao just now, but he couldn't help it at this moment, and gave a middle finger very covertly, looking at the other party's face, it was obvious that he had received a small gift from him.
The other party saw it, Ning Hao and Su Wenwen also saw it, Ning Hao felt very relieved, but Su Wenwen's face changed, there are many people in this place, Song Zheng's international gesture can be understood by everyone, if this is seen by others, it will cause big trouble if it is not good.
"Brother Zheng, stop making trouble!
Song Zheng didn't bother to follow an old coffin, just take people and leave, those people came here, just to join in the fun, I really thought that I could win glory for the country, the domestic films that came to participate in this year's exhibition, Song Zheng just learned about it, counting Xiangjiang and Baodao, the level is below the passing line set by the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee, and they are properly on the street.
"Zhengzi!What did you just do!?"
Song Zheng smiled: "What are you doing, I'm busy finding a home for our movie!"
Ning Hao said: "I also found it, but there are a few people who are willing to talk to me, but after talking for a long time, the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, you know, my English, serious foreigners listen hard, Chinese can't understand!"
As soon as Ning Hao finished speaking, Su Wenwen couldn't help but laugh.
Song Zheng also smiled and said: "You, it's in vain, we have 10,000 translators on the side, you have to find it yourself, it's not interesting, no wonder people say that you are an old man!"
Song Zheng then briefly introduced Su Wenwen's resume, especially the series of talented languages, which directly listened to Ning Hao, and he couldn't help but worship.
Su Wenwen listened and felt very proud, and his small chest stood tall.
Ning Hao looked at Su Wenwen, he really didn't take this little fart kid seriously before, he had seen it twice in the studio before, but he just thought that this girl was Song Zheng's secretary, and this time she came to Berlin to deal with some miscellaneous things, who knows, such a cow!
"What about ~~~~~~ guys?"
Song Zheng glanced at Su Wenwen, and Su Wenwen hurriedly introduced: "We talked about the two families, but the conditions given by the other party are too low, we still have to consider it, in fact, we don't need to make a decision in a hurry now, and when the film festival closes, it's not too late to decide, if our film can win an award, it will also help the value of the film!"
Take the prize!
Ning Hao couldn't help but stick out his tongue, he really hadn't thought about winning the award!
Being able to come to Berlin for a walk and see the market, Ning Hao was already very satisfied, and won the award, as the screenwriter and director of this movie, he felt that Song Zheng and Su Wenwen thought too much.
As soon as Song Zheng saw Ning Hao's expression, he knew what this guy was thinking, and said with a smile: "Brother Hao, a little confident, if our film is placed in China, there will definitely be few people who can read the goods, but if it is placed abroad, there are many people who understand!"
When Ning Hao heard this, he didn't know whether to be encouraged, or to put on an expression of "I'm cute, don't tease me".
In short, Song Zheng seemed full of confidence, while Ning Hao was full of suspicion.
Speaking from the heart, he insisted on making that film at the beginning, purely to give himself an explanation, after all, he had prepared the script of "Incense" for a long time, and if he didn't shoot it, he would be unwilling.
But after the shooting, Ning Hao regretted it, when he watched the sample film himself, he felt that this thing was not successful, let alone someone else.
Song Zheng saw that Ning Hao didn't speak, and said, "Okay! Don't think about it, won't you know when the time comes!?"
As soon as Song Zheng finished speaking, he heard a voice from behind him: "Those in front, stop, our head Liu wants to talk to you!"
