Chapter 236: Angry Tom
Berlin.
Blooming.
Avery. Tashi admired Bi Feiyu very much, and took Bi Feiyu to meet many of his friends.
So, in just these days, Bi Feiyu has met many people.
There are film critics, international stars, and many big directors and producers in the film industry.
Stand in Avery. By Tashi's side, he once felt like a "fox and a tiger".
He has received numerous accolades!
Regarding the exquisiteness of the film "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain", the stunning shooting angles, the praise that he has stepped out of a new field, and the strong artistry of the film......
This kind of praise once made him lost, and once made him feel that he was also an internationally famous director, and then, immersed in it, wandering, and enjoying.
But soon.
He recognized the reality.
One day, he came to the Berlin screening booth alone, but not many people paid attention to him, and occasionally a few people knew him well, and the smile was not as good as that of Avery. Tashi with such enthusiasm.
This is a true portrayal of "fox fake tiger might".
Without the tiger by his side, the fox ......
What is it?
Maybe!
In the eyes of many, he was a fluke by Avery. Tashi is optimistic about the lucky one.
These days......
He watched some directors walk in front of his eyes, and also watched the later experiences of the award-winning directors of the previous [Berlin International Film Festival]......
Many people have briefly bloomed, but few directors can really, step by step, go to the top, shoot classics, and be praised by countless people.
In a trance, he understood something again.
In this circle, there are many short-lived directors.
Today you can stand at the top of the crowd, and tomorrow, you will also become an ordinary person who is sighing and finally disappearing from everyone.
Others can bring you scenery and cheers, and they can also make them fade away......
All you rely on is your own talent, and ......
Learn!
Keep learning!
Keep improving!
It can not only gain a firm foothold in the art of the times, but also dance in the commercial field.
But business and art!
A lot of times it's the other way around.
He seems to have chosen the most difficult path to take.
It was very cold in Berlin in February.
Bi Feiyu wore a thick sweater and stood in the aisle outside the airport.
He was excited!
He read the script of the movie "Seven Days to Kill".
He has already sketched out countless shooting techniques in his mind, and he is already a little eager to talk to Zhang Sheng about his opinions.
Meantime......
He had another breath of air in his heart.
Yesterday, he received another call from [Starlight Future].
Sister Xu told him that if he was willing to sign a contract, he could enjoy the same treatment as Ke Zhanyi, and she had a movie in hand.
The conditions are attractive.
For him, an ordinary director who has just graduated from college and has just emerged, it is definitely pie in the sky.
But he still refused.
After refusing, he heard Xu Shengnan tell him a lot about "reality", and even told her very bluntly that "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain" has [Starlight Future] behind the promotion and hype......
After listening to it, he also accepted the reality.
"The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain" was once released in China, and then no one cared about it, and after a few days, it finally couldn't hold up the painting, and the blood loss was millions......
What else is there that is not clear about reality?
He agreed with what Xu Shengnan and Sister Xu told him, "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain" is indeed driven by the power of capital.
However, he was unwilling to be completely denied by the word "capital" like this!
Sometimes, people need to prove themselves!
A gust of cold wind blew, blowing Bi Feiyu back to reality.
He saw the plane stop in the distance, and after a while, Zhang Sheng walked out of the aisle with a French girl.
That's Elaine!
Bi Feiyu and Elaine talked on the phone......
But he never thought that on the phone, Elaine, who had an ordinary voice, could look so good in reality!
After a short period of distraction, he hurriedly followed.
"Mr. Zhang, here, I've got the taxi ready, and the hotel is also booked!"
"yes, okay."
…………………………
There are a lot of Chinese girls in Berlin.
In cold weather, they are still dressed very thinly, they can be exposed, and they are sexy when they can.
Even when they see you taking pictures, they are more than willing to show some more intimate skin for you to take enough pictures!
There are not many people in the screening hall of "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain".
Even though there is Avery. Tashi's recommendation was high, but there were still very few media and fans who came to see the film.
Bi Feiyu......
is just a little-known Chinese director.
In Berlin, the influence is not as high as that of the director of "Thunder", nor as good as the director of "Tuya" Sanchi.
Box office ......
"The Dog Over the Mountain" is a loss.
Elaine didn't meet Avery. Tashi.
The award ceremony of the Berlin International Film Festival is getting closer and closer. As one of the judges, Tashi is naturally very busy.
They have to review the film again and again, and then, cross-voting, meeting to confirm, and review the film again......
During this period, he was not allowed to meet with any directors or supernumeraries.
Elaine felt sorry in her heart.
But this regret did not last long.
Zhang Sheng took her to watch a movie.
In the [Berlin International Film Festival], he took her to watch the movies screened, whether they were good or bad.
However, except for the movie "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain", they have to buy their own tickets for the rest of the movies.
She is a "film company", but she is only a "nominal" film company, and she can't pass the film company review process of [Berlin International Film Festival] at all.
Watch movie after movie......
Often, the movies she is more invested in watching and are very satisfying with are all bought by those big studios.
And the rest of the films screened......
Although it is not something that film companies are vying for the copyright first, the producers and directors do not look down on their so-called "Sailu", let alone exclusively authorize them to play.
It was exactly what she thought.
But Zhang Sheng did not have this sense of loss.
Elaine found that when everyone was watching movies seriously, Zhang Sheng never watched movies.
He walked into the screening hall, and after he walked in, his eyes never rested, as if he was like an X-ray, scanning everyone in the screening room.
He stays longer with some people and shorter with others.
After walking out of the movie theater, he would stare at the "personnel list" in the movie poster for a long time.
When looking at the poster, Zhang Sheng was like a sculpture, the whole person was motionless......
Elaine even suspected that if she walked over and kicked Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng would not have any reaction.
This state lasted for several days.
Elaine still hasn't "bought" the movie of her dreams.
The Berlin International Film Festival award ceremony is getting closer and closer.
After the award ceremony......
The "copyright" difficulty of some ideal movies will only be higher!
However, the only thing that Elaine is looking forward to is that Zhang Sheng's decoration team has come to the [Sairou] cinema in France.
They are renovating [Sailu] according to the drawings, and they will send photos every day so that Elaine can see the renovation process of [Sailu].
That's its new life......
It was the morning of February 10.
Elaine woke up from her dream.
She walked downstairs and wandered around the screening area as usual.
She watched all the movies that she should watch, and there were some movies that no one cared about, but after all, no one watched them.
She didn't see Zhang Sheng.
I called Zhang Sheng's phone, showing that the phone was being turned off, and went to Zhang Sheng's room to look for Zhang Sheng, but found that the room was empty.
He seems to be gone?
Eventually, in the café below the hotel, she saw Zhang Sheng.
It's just that......
Zhang Sheng was chatting with a young Brazilian in a suit......
………………………………
"Mr. Zhang, I should be a successful person now, I go out now, there is a luxury car to pick me up, I come to Berlin, I sit in first class, where I am, there are many reporters around me...... I'm a public figure......"
"Well, now you're really successful."
"Mr. Zhang, since I am so successful, why did you cancel the endorsement contract of [Oubang Group]? I can bring greater benefits to [Oubang Group]! ”
"We've terminated the contract."
"We terminated the contract, it just means that I don't work under you anymore, it doesn't mean that we can't cooperate in the name of equality......"
"Dawa, have you studied since you left?" Zhang Sheng didn't answer Tom's question, but looked at him and asked.
"Mr. Zhang Sheng, my name is Tom!" Tom stared at Zhang Sheng, and his originally smiling face was a little more annoyed.
"The name is just a code name, I want to know, after you terminated the contract, did you still keep learning?"
"Mr. Zhang Sheng! I know the truth of this world, the so-called art, the so-called talent, in fact, it is not important, what is important, what kind of person does capital want you to become......"
"You stopped studying?"
"What's the use of learning that, film knowledge? When I was endorsed, no one ever asked me to rate a movie, even if this time I was interviewed by Avery. Tashi's invitation to Berlin, no one asked me how the film was, the essence of this world is packaging, many people only believe in the "packaged" people they see, I just have to talk to Avery. Tashi is together, and I am Avery. Tashi's friend! ”
"You see Avery. Tashi? ”
"He's busy, so naturally I can't see ......"
"What did you do when you were invited to Berlin? Is it to be a judge? Berlin invited you to be one of the judges? ”
"None of this matters, Mr. Zhang Sheng, I just want to tell you that I have a lot of weight now, if you don't cooperate with me, you will regret it, and besides, it is impossible for you to find a more suitable person than me to replace me!" Tom suddenly became angry.
Zhang Sheng's eyes made him very uncomfortable, as if he could see his poverty, backwardness, unbearable and even cowardice.
Zhang Sheng faced Tom's anger and just watched silently.
When Tom saw Zhang Sheng's expression, the anger in his heart rose again: "Zhang Sheng, you will regret it!" I came here this time, not to beg you, not to think that I can't do it, but to tell you that I have walked out of my own way, and I have never been a puppet arranged by you! ”
Tom was furious.
Originally elegant, the gentleman's face was even a little ugly.
Seeing Zhang Sheng is like letting him see his former self.
Zhang Sheng drank a cup of tea.
There was no reaction to Tom's anger at all.
Tom became more and more angry, but after looking at Zhang Sheng's appearance, he couldn't say anything, and finally left the café without saying a word.
