Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Red Carpet

"Heroes" exploded.

The 8 screenings in the No. 8 screening hall were full, and even many foreigners crowded into the aisle of the screening hall to stand for movies.

This is a grand occasion that has not appeared in the Berlin International Film Festival for many years, and it is a sign of explosion.

The $32 million film shone when it premiered in Berlin, with the ruthless protagonist flying around with a sword, the mysterious oriental martial arts color and a hint of Western personal heroism, combined with shocking war scenes and an epic soundtrack, perfectly poked the G-spot of these foreigners.

Many people are a little unbelievable after reading it.

"The special effects of Chinese movies can be so beautiful!"

Shen Changwei was very busy.

has been invited to participate in various parties in Berlin, and at every party, there will be a group of filmmakers chatting with Shen Changwei about the copyright of "Hero"!

Fools know that this Chinese film will be a big hit, not only will it explode, but it will even blow up the whole of Berlin and become the NO1 in the Berlin International Film Festival.

Shen Changwei and the production company have a firm grip on the film's other overseas rights and distribution.

Overseas copyrights of Chinese films are generally bought out, and the rights of Lao Mei's side have been packaged and sold to Universal and Fox of the eight major Hollywood studios before the start of Berlin.

Although the buyout price is one of the highest works in Huaxia films, higher than Chen Kai's "Overlord", Shen Changwei feels that he has lost, and the production company behind the scenes, Brother Pictures, also feels that he has lost, and they should sign a share!

It's a pity that no matter how awesome the Chinese directors are, they are still not enough to watch on Lao Mei's side, and the eight major Hollywood production companies are quite domineering, basically 70% of the resources are in their hands, you talk to them and share, they don't dick you at all, you are not convinced to sign other small production companies, you can't get overseas publicity resources at all, and if you don't do it, you will be suppressed, and you will be buried and killed violently.

Of course, there are other reasons.

Last year, Chen Kai's "Tianji" had a bad impact, relying on the popularity and reputation of "Overlord", he cooperated with Universal with the script, and the global investment department patted his head, invested a sum of money without saying a word, and joined the ranks of publicity and distribution in a hurry, asking for resources for resources, and exposing for exposure, but Chen Kai directly performed a "explosion on the spot" with others, not only was the Chinese box office blown up, but the global side also suffered a lot of blood, and the managers of the investment department were all covered and left.

Damn it!

People are still squirting at Chen Kai on Twitter.

Hollywood, which didn't have much confidence in Chinese movies, experienced the twists and turns of "Tianji", and will definitely be more cautious in the face of "Hero", although they are quite optimistic about this movie, but at most they will directly give you a good buyout price......

Other?

Don't even think about it!

There are so many Hollywood blockbusters, you can't make a Chinese blockbuster?

Shen Changwei was speechless about this, but there was no way, Hollywood is the world's movie palace!

After this hero becomes popular, you are qualified to talk about the conditions of the new movie, otherwise, the cards of the great director of Huaxia are still worse.

Of course......

In addition to Lao Mei's side, Shen Changwei and the company behind the scenes, Brother Pictures, are still more pretentious in front of filmmakers in other countries.

Only sign and share without signing buyout, if you want to sign it, I will sign it to someone else, anyway, you have also seen the potential of "Hero", this is to send you money.

…………………………

Compared with the popularity of the movie "Hero" that is chatting all over the street, the screening of "Mine Bottom" is actually not very good.

Although the critics who have seen it have a relatively high evaluation of this movie, and the popularity is not bad, since the chairman Charlotte. After Sally went to other movies, the popularity of "Mine Bottom" dropped visibly.

In the last few scenes, the movie hall with more than 100 people was not full of people at all, and there were even cases where someone left in the middle of the show.

There are only a few fanatical fans of literature and art, and most fans really don't like to watch this kind of alternative gloomy picture.

After all, this is a niche movie from China.

During this time in Berlin, Zhou Yang actually didn't sleep well, although the time difference with Huaxia was only six hours, but he also had jet lag, and he would always have inexplicable insomnia, and then he was quite sleepy during the day.

Fortunately, there was no other work during the day, and after "Mine Bottom" was finished, he watched the participating films over and over again with Wang Shuai, and then listened to Wang Shuai teach him some about the number of shooting paths on the movie and the techniques used in the movie.

Zhou Yang didn't seem to understand it, but after going back, he pondered it for a long time before he understood part of it.

It was the morning of March 1.

Zhou Yang had a very rare good night's sleep, and slept from eight o'clock in the evening until nine o'clock in the morning.

When he woke up, he was full of energy and curiosity about the closing ceremony of the Berlin International Film Festival.

Although he rarely pays attention to the entertainment industry, Zhou Yang can hear some people around him from time to time talking about the stunning appearance of the actress in a dragon robe at a certain film festival, competing on the red carpet, and turning the TV news, you will also see that in the movie channel, many stars are chatting about interesting things on the red carpet of various film festivals, and their eyes are full of excitement when they chat, and they can feel each other's pride across the screen, even if she is just rubbing a wave there, posing for a pose without any progress in the work at all, it is just as vain.

What if you can get a little bit of a little bit with the shortlisted movie of so-and-so, and go over a little bit to hold the hands of the crew and walk the red carpet?

Hey, when you come back, you can be screaming for a long time?

When the crew of "Mine Bottom" arrived in Berlin, they came into contact with many inexplicable Chinese female stars, and even some female stars hinted at Zhou Yang through various channels, saying that they could accompany others to watch the "glow-in-the-dark script", and Mao recommended himself to be a thief in acting, and what role he wanted.

The "conspiracy" of these second- and third-tier female stars did not succeed, and they were all rejected by Wang Shuai, and they were also scolded by a stink?

Didn't these guys come over and add to the blockage of "Mine Bottom"?

After getting up, brushing his teeth and washing his face, Zhou Yang opened the door and waited not for a sumptuous hotel breakfast, but for the "TOTO" toilet brother and other people's design for himself.

He put on a new tuxedo, still wearing the familiar pair of flat glasses, and the hairstyle in front of him turned slightly in a semicircle, and he could feel an alternative trend through the mirror.

The leather shoes fit quite well, but after wearing them, the toilet brother measured the distance between the steps of the leather shoes very carefully.

"Director Zhou, on the red carpet, I personally feel that you need to walk with your left foot...... The red carpet is about 350 meters long, and the left foot starts in front of the red carpet, and the right foot happens to be the right foot after the red carpet......"

"Director Zhou, in addition, your walking posture needs to be adjusted, we try to make every step the same, reflecting the luxury of that gentleman's style."

"At the same time, we have to keep our eyes focused and smile on our faces, and you have to pose when someone comes over to take pictures......"

“……”

After tossing until after 11 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Yang walked out of the room hungry.

After coming to the hotel lobby, the crew was already waiting for him there.

…………………………

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

With the end of the film "The Guardian", the 56th Berlin Film Festival finally ushered in the closing ceremony.

The time has not officially begun, but the red carpet is filled with countless reporters and filmmakers, and the crowd is punctuated with screams and camera shutters.

There are a lot of Chinese reporters and fans in this year's session.

At a glance, there is a yellow-skinned Chinese man between every three foreigners.

The news of the international fire of the movie "Hero" in Berlin reached China, and many domestic media and fans rushed over here, coming to witness the opening of the blockbuster era belonging to the Chinese film era, and even the small leaders of some departments also came to join in the fun.

The movie "Tianji" is too cheating, they urgently need a Chinese blockbuster that can really suppress Hollywood movies to get back on the field, when they see that the momentum of "Hero" is so fierce, they are instantly excited, and even many media in Huaxia are reporting how many Berlin awards Shen Changwei can win, whether he can become famous in one fight, kill Berlin first, and then enter the Oscars, and finally bomb the whole of Europe and the United States, just like the "Time Machine" set off storms in the world film circle, leaving a strong mark!

"This is the beginning of an era......"

"The era of Hollywood's suppression of Chinese films has passed......"

"A new era of martial arts movies has officially begun!"

“……”

All kinds of similar boastful film reviews simply swept the major media in China.

In such a situation, Zhou Yang's "Mine Bottom" looks very embarrassing.

Overseas copyrights are selling well, in fact, aside from the money defrauded by those two scammers, this movie is not a loss at present, if it can premiere in China and make a little box office, this movie can be completely profitable.

Berlin also has a good reputation, and the chairman's personal support has also made many Chinese media pay attention to the movie "Mine Bottom", but the opponent facing "Mine Bottom" is too terrifying, so terrifying that all Chinese reporters feel that this movie is here to accompany them.

The Best Supporting Actor Award is Freddy of "Wasteland Hunter", one of the most powerful actors in Europe, in the first year of his debut, he was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Newcomer with "Time Machine", a movie that bombed the world, although he did not win the award, but at this time, masterpieces were born every year after that, although he has been running with him every year, but the reputation is quite good, and when this "Wasteland Hunter" was released in Berlin, many people almost equated this movie with "Hero", and they are the most potential contenders for the Golden Bear Award......

And the opponent of the Silver Bear Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution is "Particles", "Bella's Doomsday" and "Hero" and other international director-level films!

"Mine Bottom" is not a companion, what is it?

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

When the crew of "Mine Bottom" walked the red carpet, except for some Chinese media asking some questions such as whether they had confidence and some girls screaming at Zhou Yang's costumes, there was almost no other concern, and there were not many shots.

After walking the red carpet, the reporters excitedly surrounded "Heroes", and Shen Changwei was surrounded like a hedgehog, forcing Lai Lai to say a series of words.

After walking the red carpet, Zhou Yang subconsciously looked at the "Hero" crew full of screams, staring closely at every big name in the crew, observing their appearance when facing reporters, and even getting together a little......

He wanted to learn something.

"It doesn't matter, no one wins an award as soon as they come to Berlin, and if a rookie director wins an award as soon as he comes, then don't other directors have to be angry? To be shortlisted in Berlin is a victory...... Next, let's see the world! Wang Shuai patted Zhou Yang's shoulder, thinking that Zhou Yang was lost because he was not paying attention.

"......" Zhou Yang nodded, his eyes were still staring at the crew of "Hero", especially when he saw the international action superstar Li Lianlong in front of reporters, the charming smile and the sense of confidence that came from within.

He was envious.

How many years does he have to cultivate before he can be as confident as he is?
