Zhou Yilin hid in the hotel room, lowered his head, and smoked cigarettes one by one.

The whole room was filled with smoke, and the assistant could barely open his eyes.

The contract of copyright was on the table motionless.

The atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing, and Zhou Yilin and Zhou Dao had smoked more than thirty cigarettes in an hour, one after another.

The assistant just stood in place, neither daring to go out nor sit down, nor daring to disturb Zhou Yilin with a voice.

"Warring States" was really beyond their expectations.

I thought that it was a mistake for Berlin that "Warring States" was not shortlisted for Berlin, as long as there were a few scheduled premieres, and another wave of operation of the copyright of "Warring States" overseas would be sold.

But!

It's too bad.

Before the premiere of "Warring States", the filmmakers were still full of expectations for the movie "Warring States", and they could consider cooperating, but after watching the sample of "Warring States", no matter how warm the atmosphere was, the applauding people were excited, and the filmmakers unanimously chose to shake their heads.

"Let's watch other movies for now."

After leaving these words, they left the screening room one after another.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, Zhou Yilin felt angry at first, and he couldn't wait to screw off their heads and stuff them into the big screen, so that they could see the film art they made, and even wanted to scold these guys for not understanding film art, and they didn't know gold and jade.

The feeling was like being punched in the chest, very angry, but breathless.

But after calming down, Zhou Yilin was silent.

Fools know that the situation is not quite right.

He understands that there should be something wrong with the movie he made.

The next day, two more copyrights were sold, but these two copyrights are really a drop in the bucket for the volume of "Warring States".

The overwhelming publicity investment and prime-time film screening are only exchanged for a few film companies!

This sense of disparity inevitably makes Zhou Yilin feel a sense of despair.

"What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning."

"The premiere of 'Mine Bottom' starts in three hours?"

"Yes, Zhou Yang sent us an invitation letter, do we want to ......?"

In the room, Zhou Yilin finally snuffed out the cigarette butt and looked at the assistant.

After hearing the assistant's answer, Zhou Yilin glanced out the window, his eyes flickering.

"Wang Shuai didn't come?"

"Well, when "Warring States" premiered, Director Wang didn't come to ......"

"Forget it, don't worry about this kind of chicken-bellied person, "Mine Bottom" is our company's movie after all, we have to go over and support it anyway, after all, it's not the right thing."

…………………………

The timing of "Mine Bottom" is really bad.

There are a total of five film schedules, and they are basically unpopular times such as lunch and dinner, compared with the schedule of "Warring States", it is simply a mother born and picked up by a stepmother.

As of an hour before the film's premiere, a total of just over twenty premiere tickets had been sold.

Among them, there are several people in the crew who buy tickets out of their own pockets.

Of course.

This is still understandable, "Mine Bottom" itself has no big actors, the director is a pure newcomer, and it is not a literary film with a big investment but a niche ......

Who would be full enough to run to watch a literary movie from China that is not well-known in this kind of time?

Wang Shuai has some coffee positions at these film festivals......

But there are not many directors like Wang Shuai at the Berlin International Film Festival, and Wang Shuai himself is actually quite disgusted with friendship, which will make him feel very hypocritical.

He has always believed that a movie should rely on the strength of the movie itself to speak, rather than all kinds of embarrassment.

So he looked down on Zhou Yilin's deceitful attitude, and he didn't even bother to go to the show.

Of course, it is even more unlikely that he will make friendly operations such as delivering tickets everywhere.

Sending tickets everywhere, isn't this even admitting that your movies are cheap?

This kind of thing......

He really can't do it.

February 25 at 10:15 a.m.

Forty-five minutes before the movie is released.

Wang Shuai left the hotel and came to Screening Hall 6 in the Berlin screening area.

Subsequently......

The deserted scene he imagined did not appear, but he was surprised to find that the screening hall was full of people!

So many women?

He wondered.

Just as he walked towards the lively sound, and when he saw a figure, he was stunned!

He saw Zhou Yang standing next to the ticket sales staff, with a simple expression, wearing a very cute bear suit, holding an English sign that read "Mine Bottom" premiere, thank you for supporting ......", and a cute bear head was painted under the English sign, smirking at everyone.

A group of blondes excitedly gathered around Zhou Yang, some bought tickets, some accosted, some stepped forward to touch Zhou Yang's hair and shrugged their stomachs, and some people held mobile phones, holding Zhou Yang's shoulders to take a photo with Zhou Yang, and even some dared to make a distant kiss......

What the hell is this thing doing!

He squeezed into the crowd and came to Zhou Yang's side.

"Why don't you go into town, why are you staying here?" Wang Shuai's brows furrowed deeply.

"Ah, Director Wang, I came a little early today, and it happened that the staff in the blazing overalls suddenly had diarrhea, so I helped replace him for a while, thinking that our tickets were selling poorly, so I ran over to help our "Mine Bottom" canvassing for tickets, but I didn't expect the people here to be too enthusiastic......"

"Oh, it's almost sold, so let's go inside!"

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes."

"Go ahead!"

Wang Shuai looked at Zhou Yang's appearance, the more he looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt, somehow, there was always an indescribable anger, and he couldn't wait to pull off the bear ears and hair stuck to Zhou Yang's head.

…………………………

Zhou Yilin originally thought that the premiere of "Mine Bottom" was very simple.

Not many people came to see ......

But when he came to Screening Room 6 and saw that the entire screening room was full of people, his eyes widened in disbelief.

What made him even more unbelievable was that at a glance, 70% of the entire screening hall was made up of girls.

There are girls from all over the world, and before the movie starts, everyone is chattering, holding popcorn, as if they came to watch some idol movie.

What's going on with this "Mine Bottom"?

You're serious about fakes, aren't you?

With so many girls, a fool can see that you have invited extras!

Zhou Yilin frowned and looked at the position in the back row.

He saw several familiar figures.

That's the filmmakers in Australia, Panama, Mexico and other countries?

This group of filmmakers is pointing fingers, pointing at this group of girls, and at movie posters.

How did they get here?

Zhou Yilin was a little shocked.

This group of filmmakers are all filmmakers who have participated in "Heroes" and "Warring States"!

"Director Zhou is here? Rare guest, rare guest, Director Zhou, I heard that you sold a few more copyrights before? Congratulations, unlike our "Mine Bottom", probably without a premiere relationship, our "Mine Bottom" only sold five copyrights...... Hey, by the way, Director Zhou, how many copyrights did you sell? ”

"Not much, not much, almost ......"

It was not Zhou Yang who greeted Zhou Yilin, but Wang Shuai.

When Wang Shuai saw him, he showed a rare smile, as bright as the sun in winter, and held his hand tightly.

Zhou Yilin also smiled brightly on the surface, but in his heart he wanted to tear Wang Shuai's mouth apart!

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

After taking his seat, Wang Shuai stared at the door of the screening hall again, and a few blonde girls came in at the door, as well as a few pot-bellied filmmakers......

What the hell is going on!

In this unpopular pit time, how can so many filmmakers and audiences walk in?

Just when Zhou Yilin was puzzled, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.

His pupils narrowed.

He noticed that the figure seemed to be Charlotte, the president of the jury of the main competition. Cylie!
