Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 21 Finally got the upper hand

After the preview, Zhou Qing signed up for the Berlin Film Festival without delay.

Although he had never been qualified to do this in his previous life, he was still an old hand at it after all.

I still know how to operate it.

However, Zhou Qing can't do anything else for the time being.

Or the only thing you can do is one word: wait.

So Zhou Qing, who had been busy with "127 Hours" for more than a month, finally had some time to relax.

He goes to class when he should and goes out to play when he should. He is no different from other students.

"Qingzi, now that this movie is finished, do you plan to continue filming?"

In class, Zhu Yawen had no intention of listening to the lecture at all and asked Zhou Qing questions with great interest.

"What's up? Are you thinking about your leading actor?"

Zhou Qing glanced at this guy and asked with a smile.

"Isn't that right? I still understand the principle that those who are close to the water will get the moon first!"

Zhu Yawen chuckled, but did not deny it.

"Let's talk about it later. You just finished filming and then filming again. Are you a sow that is so productive?"

Zhou Qing dismissed Zhu Yawen with a casual remark.

It’s not that he was just trying to fool Zhu Yawen, it’s mainly because Zhou Qing really hasn’t made a decision yet.

Because whether he will shoot next, when to shoot, and what to shoot all depend on the performance of "127 Hours" this time.

If everything goes well and "127 Hours" can really achieve success in Berlin, the copyright can be sold for a lot of money.

Add to that the box office share and other things, and it becomes possible to make a movie.

Even attracting investment is not a problem.

But what if I fail and all the efforts in Berlin are wasted?
That's just wishful thinking.

Zhou Qing can only tinker with low-budget films like "127 Hours".

"Anyway, no matter what time it is, you have to remember me, I'm your roommate!"

Zhu Yawen kept reminding Zhou Qing tirelessly.

"Student Zhou Qing!"

After class, Zhou Qingzheng and Zhu Yawen left the classroom while chatting.

The teacher who was organizing the materials at the podium waved to Zhou Qing, and then told the head teacher Wang Jinsong that he was looking for him.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel excited. After saying goodbye to Zhu Yawen, he immediately came to Wang Jinsong.

"Teacher Wang, you're looking for me?"

Zhou Qing looked at Wang Jinsong expectantly.

It has been a few days now since Wang Jinsong reported his attack on Berlin. I wonder if there has been any result.

"It's all because of you, kid! You're already old but you're still bothering me."

Wang Jinsong started complaining as soon as he came up, but it must be said that he was in a good mood.

After the preview, "127 Hours" caused a great response, especially in the directing department.

In just a few days, the news spread throughout the directing department.

A freshman in the acting department made a movie that beat the one taught in the directing department.

Anyway, as public opinion fermented, the directing department organized another wave of test screenings, and everyone was shocked by the results.

Even the director of the directing department and some relevant leaders were alarmed.

The school also organized several seminars for this purpose.

Zhou Qing was just a hands-off guy and went to class comfortably, but poor Wang Jinsong, the class teacher, was caught.

He attended every seminar and leaders constantly came to him for information.

I have been really busy these past few days, and I am not just complaining to Zhou Qing.

Especially when Wang Jinsong reported Zhou Qing's plan to hit Berlin, the school was in a state of panic because all the teachers agreed that this movie did have the potential to hit Berlin.

Not only is it there, it’s also very big!
Even if Zhou Qing didn't mention it, they would still plan to do so.

So after several more seminars, the school finally made a decision to fully support our outstanding students!

Especially "127 Hours" is produced entirely by the Beijing Film Academy team from beginning to end, and it is a pure Beijing Film Academy movie.

He is not like those "traitor directors" who graduated from Beijing Film Academy but always like to use actors from the Central Academy of Drama.

Zhou Qing not only used actors from Beijing Film Academy, but also the behind-the-scenes team.

Even if the acting department can't find actors, they won't look outside and would rather go to the dubbing department.

sensible.

Clever.

This child is really liked by the leaders of Beijing Film Academy.

If this is not strongly supported, it would be unreasonable.

Not to mention, this movie is indeed of great benefit to Beijing Film Academy, and may even become a label of Beijing Film Academy.

This is definitely not an exaggeration. A purely Beijing Film Academy film won the Berlin Film Festival, which is of great significance to Beijing Film Academy.

"Teacher Wang, you have worked hard. Come, have some water."

Zhou Qing laughed when he heard that and pretended to pick up the water cup in front of Wang Jinsong.

"Stop doing this."

Wang Jinsong smiled and slapped Zhou Qing's hand away, then exchanged a few words with Zhou Qing in a good mood.

Then he got down to business with Zhou Qing: "Get ready, the leader wants to see you."

Zhou Qing couldn't suppress the smile on his face anymore.

Why did the leaders of Beijing Film Academy want to meet me?
Isn't this self-evident?
After returning to the dormitory and changing into clothes suitable for the occasion, Zhou Qing followed Wang Jinsong into a conference room at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Waited inside for a while.

The head of the directing department, the head of the acting department, and several other leaders came to Zhou Qing.

Everyone's face had a smile as warm as spring breeze.

After a brief greeting, he began to praise Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing was not at all nervous and handled it with ease.

The laughter of leaders could be heard from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After the formalities were done, both sides started to talk about business.

Just as Wang Jinsong said, the school leaders made it clear that they would provide support for "127 Hours".

The school will contribute to the submission of films for review, subsequent distribution, and related matters of the film festival.

It's not just the Berlin Film Festival, but also the domestic film festivals, the leaders of Beijing Film Academy discussed with Zhou Qing for a long time.

Finally, we have made a preliminary decision and will try for the Golden Horse Awards after we finish the Berlin event.

"Done!"

After the meeting, Zhou Qing was extremely satisfied.

Now that I have finally secured the support of Beijing Film Academy, all the things I was worried about before are no longer a problem.

The school can take care of everything, such as getting the Dragon Mark before the Lunar New Year period, scheduling screenings in theaters after the film is released, etc.

Zhou Qing really just wants to be a hands-off boss and doesn't have to worry about anything.

"What, transfer to the directing department?"

However, soon a leader from the Directing Department secretly contacted Zhou Qing and asked him to transfer to the Directing Department, which made Zhou Qing feel a little amused.

Although Zhou Qing had no objection to joining the directing department, if he did so at this time, wouldn't he be offending the acting department?

Especially the director department's actions were so sneaky, it was obvious that they were trying to poach people.

Zhou Qing politely declined, otherwise the Performance Department would be furious.
