The next day, the media of various countries left the largest page for Tong Liyu, publishing a large photo of her, and not one, but a group, not only that, but the headline of each report section on the official website of the Berlin Film Festival was also a large photo of her.

Major domestic portals also published large photos of her, and her pure and moving image immediately conquered countless netizens and became the goddess in the hearts of countless netizens.

The most direct impact of this is that when Tong Liyu stayed at the booth, people came to her from time to time to sign autographs and take pictures.

Of course, the major newspapers have not forgotten the film itself, and at the press conference after the premiere, reporters expressed their love for the film, and the articles published afterwards were full of praise.

Germany's Neue Deutsche Zeitung: "The most appreciated part of "The Two of Us" is that the plot that takes for granted and does not need to be explained is simply skipped. The whole movie is crisp and concise, without the slightest drag! ”

American "Variety": "The directorial technique of the film is as simple as the structure of the film, there is no fancy, one narrative and dialogue after another, from distrusting each other to fighting each other naturally like family, and the feelings occur, grow, mature, and disappear with the four seasons, and finally leave a sad feeling." However, it is this simplicity that removes all the complicated external wraps, but is as clear as a relief, which is hard to forget. ”

French "Le Figaro": ""The Two of Us" is an anti-grand narrative female surname movie, but also a film describing ordinary female surnames, in this old house is the whole world of two female surnames, the two bargain for rent, secretly fight for telephone bills, quarrel over wall paintings, please eat Chinese New Year's Eve, shoot short films, move, this is not a thing at all in the world of male surnames, but it has become the most important part of the lives of two female surnames, and the artistic tension formed between the extreme simplicity of this character and the extreme complexity of details is amazing. ”

Contrary to the acclaim that "The Two of Us" received, the movie "Wild Tracking", which was released in prime time in the evening, was scolded by the media and bloody, and Ron Howard was disgraced.

As a result, "The Two of Us" received even more attention, not only were the tickets for the afternoon audience sold out, but foreign film companies also came to the door to obtain the distribution rights of the film.

The first to come to the door was Sony Classics, a subsidiary of Columbia that specializes in the distribution of foreign-language films. They are responsible for the distribution of many Chinese-language films, many of Zhang Yimou and Wong Kar-wai's films are distributed by this company, and Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is also distributed by them, and the distribution ability is quite strong.

Sony Classic intends to buy out the distribution rights in all regions except China for $800,000, but Cheng Peng is a little hesitant, if he sells it at this price, he will not lose money, and can make more than 1 million, but the budget for the new film is very problematic, and his expectation for the film rights is about $1.3 million.

But if it is not sold, there may be no store in this village, of course, if you can win the award, the situation will definitely be different, but no one dares to guarantee the award, even Ang Lee does not dare to say that he will be able to win the award.

After a short period of weighing, Cheng Peng still refused, and he decided to wait, not until after the awards, but only for the afternoon session to be scored.

The house catalogue is a special publication launched during the festival every year, which is given away free of charge in the Palais du Cinema and available for free reading on the official website. In addition to the introduction of the films, the content of the house catalogue also includes the publication's rating of all the participating films screened the previous day.

The housebook is scored by the court's jury, which are media reporters and film critics from all over the world. The rating of the house journal is a 4-point scale, with four stars being perfect, three stars being good, two stars being average, one star being bad, and fork being bad. The house schedule is open and transparent, all the scores of everyone are public, and the final score of each film is the average score of everyone.

The house catalogue represents the opinions of the media and the audience, and does not represent the opinions of the film festival judges.

Of course, the business that should be negotiated still has to be discussed, and the transaction still has to be traded, because in some countries, even if the price of the prize will not change much.

Cheng Peng stood up, smiled and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man in front of him: "That's it, let's make a deal." ”

"I'm very happy to get the distribution rights for this film, and I think the audience will like it." The middle-aged man stood up, smiled and shook hands with Cheng Peng.

The man is the owner of a film company in New Zealand, the company is very small, and the price is very low, only 6,000 US dollars, but Cheng Peng still sold it, because there are no companies in a country like New Zealand to come to the film festival, if you don't sell it to him, you can't sell it.

Chinese films are difficult to sell, and it is even more difficult to sell at a high price, Feng Xiaogang said a big truth: "The foreign distributors invited by Wang Zhonglei told me that we are going to Cannes to sell films, the whole budget is 1 million yuan, the front and back cover of the last Cannes journal will cost 50,000 euros, and the poster will cost more than 10,000 euros, and then I asked him, then how much can we sell the copyright, he replied, Russia is 15,000 US dollars, New Zealand 3,000 US dollars, maybe ten countries together can't sell a cover money." ”

New Zealand can sell for 6,000 US dollars, and Cheng Peng is already very satisfied, 3,000 US dollars more than Feng Xiaogang!

After that, some small companies came to the door one after another, but the prices offered by these companies were relatively low, basically a few thousand dollars.

Although the price was not good, Zhao Linlin stood in front of the booth with a smile and talked to the filmmaker in fluent English, while Cheng Peng worked on the side to explain the content of the film.

was busy until noon, and sold the copyrights of six countries, basically all of which belong to small countries like New Zealand, adding up to less than 50,000 US dollars, which is really pitiful, of course, it is not that there are no big film companies like the United States and France to ask, but the price is low, Cheng Peng is not in a hurry to agree, and plans to wait for the score of the house book to come out.

Although the money from the sale was not much, it was finally opened, and everyone was in a very good mood and decided to find a restaurant outside to have a good meal.

I found a restaurant near the movie palace that looked a little old, and there was a metal sign hanging at the door, which said the glorious history of the restaurant, and the posture should be good.

I walked into the restaurant, found a place, ordered a set meal each, and started eating.

After eating for a while, Tong Liyu asked: "How many points do you say our movie can get, can we get 3 points?" ”

Zhang Meng shook his head and said: "It's too difficult, there are basically one or two movies that can get 3 points at each film festival, I think it's about 2.4!" ”

Now the highest score is the Argentine film "The Lost Embrace" with 2.6 points, followed by "Before the Fall" with 2.4, and if "The Two of Us" can get 2.4, it will be in second place.

No, Cheng Peng is more confident than Zhang Meng: "I have confidence in my movie, I think I can get 2.8." ”

Zhao Linlin said with a smile: "You are really confident enough, if you get 2.8, you will surpass "Lost Hug" to rank first, even if all the movies are finished, this score can be ranked in the top three." ”

Cheng Peng said: "My original estimate is similar to Zhang Meng, but the media's evaluation is really good, now my confidence is a little bursting, I will know the result in the afternoon, I am really looking forward to it now!" ”

Tong Liyu said confidently: "I'm also looking forward to it, but I know that the score must be very high!" ”

After lunch, Cheng Peng and the others returned to the exhibition center slowly, and as soon as they walked to the Chinese area, Tong Liyu exclaimed in surprise: "What's the matter, you look at our booth, there are so many people!" ”

Cheng Peng and the three of them looked at it, and there were a bunch of reporters standing in front of the booth, carrying cameras and microphones, surrounding the front of the booth.

Cheng Peng's first reaction was to make a mistake, and looked around, yes, it's the booth of "The Two of Us", and next to it is the booth of "Baby in Love", what's going on?

Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin were also stunned, why did so many people suddenly appear, it couldn't be something, right?

The four of them looked at each other, their eyes were very blank, and they couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted "He's there", and the group of reporters in front of the booth looked like hungry wolves, screaming and rushing towards Cheng Peng and them.

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Peng's side was full of people, and there was a circle of microphones in front of him, he was dumbfounded, I just went out to eat, I didn't cause anything!

The reporters around him asked like a cannon: "Mr. Cheng Peng, do you have anything to say when you get a high score?" ”

"What's the highest score?" Cheng Peng didn't react for a while.

"The house magazine scores, and now "The Two of Us" ranks first, don't you know?"

Cheng Peng always thought that the house book score would only come out in the afternoon, and he didn't read it when he came back just now, so many reporters could flock to it, it must be a high score, so he asked: "Girls and gentlemen, I haven't read the house book yet, can anyone tell me what our movie score is?" ”

A reporter with an excited face replied loudly: "3.3 points, now ranked first"

Tong Liyu and they all cheered, and Cheng Peng also laughed, 3.3 is a very high score, and it is likely to be the highest score of this film festival!
