Coffee.

Somewhat bitter.

Zhang Sheng never puts sugar in coffee, and likes this astringent, but mellow taste.

Fendi sat in front of Zhang Sheng.

Holding the mug wall in both hands, his freckled face visibly tangled.

The Chinese man in front of him, although his eyes were peaceful, looked harmless to humans and animals.

But it is extremely aggressive, like a beast with a mouth full of fangs, so greedy that it wants to swallow everything!

He seems to want everything.

In front of her, there are contracts one after another.

Exclusive copyright in France, exclusive copyright in Brazil, exclusive broadcast right on video websites......

Her short film "Thriller Night", almost all the copyrights that can be signed, he wants to sign it.

And......

He didn't just want to sign the rights to her "Thriller Night" short film.

He even wanted to sign her man!

Storyboard director, screenwriter consultant, visual effects artist, and soundtrack artist of the horror movie "Seven Days of Killing......

A series of names made Fendi stunned.

"I would even like to invite you to be the face of our company's brands, if you want, I know it was sudden, but please allow me to tell us about my brands and the turnover of the last five months......"

In the café.

Fendi heard Zhang Sheng talk about his companies.

He speaks in a very gentle voice, and when he introduces the company, he will tell the "entrepreneurial history" of the bosses in the company by the way.

Like a storyteller who is very good at telling stories, he tells the ups and downs of entrepreneurial history and is thrilling......

Fendi listened to the story, and uncontrollably conjured up images in his mind, like a bystander, watching the rise of "little people".

After listening to the story, she was still unsatisfied, and she had the illusion that she wanted to participate in it and become a part of the "team"!

Fendi lost his mind for a moment, then shook his head violently!

She remembered the clothes that Bi Feiyu wore before he came to the stage.

She exhaled deeply, took a sip of coffee, and her eyes flashed with reason: "Mr. Zhang Sheng, although I said this sentence, it is rude, but, I suspect that you are brainwashing me......"

Zhang Sheng smiled: "Mr. Bi Feiyu is the director of "Seven Days to Kill". Mr. Tashi is the executive producer and art advisor of our films...... It's all people in my team, I'm brainwashing you, what's in it for me? ”

"Mr. Zhang Sheng, why did you choose me?"

"Because I appreciate the short film "Thriller Night", our movie "Seven Days of Killing" lacks a master like you who can set off the weird atmosphere......"

“……”

Hearing the word master, Fendi, who was a fledgling, naturally couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but still kept his senses: "I want to think about it!" ”

"Yes, this is my contact information, you can contact me at any time when you have thought about it!"

"Good!"

"Do you also want to consider the authorization of the short film?"

"I can give you permission first!"

"Good!"

Fendi saw Zhang Sheng push his glasses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then a beautiful and tall French girl knocked on the door and walked into the box.

"Miss Elaine, this is the exclusive license for the short film of "Thriller Night"!"

………………………

Early morning.

A ray of sunlight rises from the east and shines on the land of Berlin.

Bi Feiyu followed Zhang Sheng to sign one contract after another.

Bi Feiyu, who stayed up all night, was naturally very tired, and in the early hours of the morning, he could still talk with Zhang Sheng, but after four o'clock, his mind was muddy.

He didn't know what Zhang Sheng said to these people for a while......

Half a month before the [Berlin International Film Festival] award ceremony, Zhang Sheng followed him constantly in every crew.

They were close to their faces and approached one director after another, one producer after another.

But Zhang Sheng felt that it was still not enough......

So, I came into contact with the staff of one movie after another.

Lighting engineers, sound engineers, artists, and even some groceries for drama work......

He was very welcoming to them!

Twenty-four hours a day, almost more than ten hours, he invited these people to coffee, eat, walk, and talk about dreams......

When he arrived in Berlin, the mobile phone card he had just set up was so exaggerated that it rang every few minutes.

How sophisticated does a person have to be to do such a crazy thing?

Bi Feiyu didn't know, but what Bi Feiyu knew was that Zhang Sheng almost broke his leg for the movie "Seven Days to Kill".

Bi Feiyu is deeply infected!

Although he didn't know what Zhang Sheng was going to do, he vaguely only knew that he was accumulating contacts, but he began to gradually participate in it and began to shuttle through various creative teams with Zhang Sheng......

Even at night, he used English to learn Zhang Sheng's words when communicating with these people.

In the past ten days......

Bi Feiyu found that his communication skills were simply amazing.

Even, I learned some of the "talk to people when I see people, and talk about ghosts when I see ghosts".

"Mr. Zhang, the crew work contract we signed is really messy......"

"How messy?"

"Jones, the lighting engineer for "Summer," David the sound engineer for "Love's Journey," and Kelly, the artist for "Shadow Painter," I felt like a hodgepodge......

Walking out of the café, Bi Feiyu, who was in a daze, read the contract over and over again, his spirit shook suddenly, and then he looked at Zhang Sheng with a holding face.

"They're all the people I want on my list, and some of them have participated in movies that have won awards, and they're award-winning ......," Zhang replied with a smile.

"But winning the award has nothing to do with them at all, they just followed the "main creator" team, and they didn't even have a camera during the live broadcast, most of them were marginal characters......" Bi Feiyu shook his head.

"Isn't that a good thing? Marginal people represent not being recognized, not being recognized, representing that they want to prove themselves, and when I choose people, I deliberately select these people......"

"But they're more expensive than the market price!" Bi Feiyu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Our investment in "Seven Days of Killing" has not yet been paid, we won't really take out a loan to make a movie ourselves, right?" ”

"Director Bi, wait a few days, you will find that they are not expensive, not only will you not think that they are not expensive, you will even think that they are too cheap!" Zhang Sheng stopped, his expression still smiling: "As for the investment ......"

"Yes, investment is a problem, "Seven Days of Killing" is a horror film, no one in China is optimistic about horror films, and some people have filmed them before, but they lost their bottoms......"

Under the sun.

Before Bi Feiyu finished speaking, he saw Zhang Sheng coming over, seriously helped him sort out the collar of his suit, and nodded with satisfaction: "Director Bi, you are now the leader of the six generations of directors, and you are an internationally renowned director, a big director, you will never lack investment!" ”

Bi Feiyu was stunned.

I didn't understand what Zhang Sheng said for a while.

A few minutes later.

Bi Feiyu saw the café.

Elaine walks out of the café with Fendi, the director of the "Thriller Night" short.

The two were in the box and chatted about copyright issues all night.

But the two were not tired, but looked excited.

It's just that......

When the sun was shining, the two subconsciously blocked their eyes.

The sun was too dazzling.

"The last piece of the puzzle is about to be put together!"

"Huh?"

Bi Feiyu was stunned, and then saw Fendi walking over seriously.

"Mr. Zhang Sheng......"

"Hello, Miss Fendi!"

"I'm willing to join the crew of "Seven Days of Death"."

"Good!"

………………………………

The plane took off.

Crowded Berlin is gradually returning to calm.

Bi Feiyu was so tired that he could barely open his eyes.

But he couldn't sleep.

The craze of the scene kept coming to mind, as well as the waves of applause.

Especially when the host on the stage announced that the final winner of the "Golden Bear Award" was "Cheese", the applause, cheers, and the sense of tension and excitement at the scene have haunted his heart until now.

He inevitably imagined that one day he would stand on the stage of the main competition unit of the Berlin International Film Festival and win the much-anticipated award!

Waves of excitement sparked his nerves.

He thought again that he was about to make a new movie "Seven Days to Kill".

The excitement rose again, but then, he was worried that he would not be able to make the film well, and that the investment was not enough......

It feels like a loss or a loss......

But just then, he heard a rustling sound next to him.

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Shengzheng writing something on A4 paper very seriously.

He leaned over to take a look......

only to find out that it was the process of the [2nd Southern California International Film Awards], as well as some of the proposed "sponsors".

"Mr. Zhang, aren't you sleepy?"

"Not sleepy."

"Mr. Zhang, you ......"

The word sudden death welled up in Bi Feiyu's heart, but he finally swallowed these two words.

Zhang Sheng has very little sleep these days......

And, yesterday, the day before yesterday, he seemed to have been staying up all night, only to see him occasionally take an hour's nap and then get up again.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you doing?"

"I have gained a lot from participating in the Berlin International Film Festival this time, and I am also aware of the shortcomings of the [Southern California International Film Awards], and I am now adjusting my ......"

"We're going to do a second time?"

"Of course we're going to do a second time, you think I'm going to invite Avery. Is Tashi joking when he becomes the chairman of the second term? Zhang Sheng put down the A4 paper and looked at Bi Feiyu.

"I thought you were just polite at first, and then ......"

"Director Bi, I am a person who sets up the stage, I have never thought of doing business once, or relying on gimmicks, eating a wave of dividends and leaving...... [The 2nd Southern California International Film Awards], I am now considering the jury team, the first sister jury team is like a joke, but in the second session, I want to be regular......" Zhang Sheng's expression was very serious: "But ......"

"But what?"

"But we're still very weak now, we don't have the charisma, so we can only take advantage of it...... But you can't take advantage of it for a lifetime! Deservedly, it's what we're going to do in the end. ”

"Oh......"

Bi Feiyu listened to Zhang Sheng's words, only to feel that his brain was muddy again.

Then, Zhang Sheng lowered his head and continued to write.

Bi Feiyu leaned on the seat and closed his eyes, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I don't know how long it took......

He saw Zhang Sheng pushing him.

He opened his eyes in a trance.

"Director Bi, cheer up! We're going to get off the plane and get ready to collect the money, how much is the investment in "Seven Days of Killing"? Million? Or six million? ”

"Huh?"

Bi Feiyu walked off the plane with his luggage in a daze and walked out of the airport.

And then......

Seeing that countless media are guarding him.

Then, I saw a lot of brands with smiles on their faces, and they were desperately squeezing over.
