Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 24: Berlin Finalist
After the film viewing exchange meeting, Zhou Qing became a little famous in the school.

Many people know that a freshman, as a student representative, went on stage to watch a movie with Master Zhang.

And it performed very well from beginning to end.

The students in Class 02 were especially surprised.

Many people asked Zhou Qing about the situation and wanted to know why he became a student representative.

Why I got the opportunity to communicate with Master Zhang on the same stage.

Many students really couldn't understand why it was Zhou Qing's turn.

If even Zhou Qing can do it, then they can do it too.

"You guys? Wait until you can make a movie!"

Zhu Yawen, who knew the truth, sneered at this.

If Zhou Qing had not repeatedly told him not to make it public, he would have revealed Zhou Qing's heroic deeds long ago.

What a bunch of ignorant guys.

However, Zhu Yawen really admires Zhou Qing.

Such a big thing happened quietly, and yet he remained so calm.

If it were him, he would have wanted to let the whole school know how powerful he is.

Zhou Qingcai didn't have time to deal with these messy things. He had been paying attention to the last step of the public screening license.

Now all the required materials have been submitted, and with my connections at the school, I think it shouldn’t take too long.

And the school did not disappoint Zhou Qing. At the end of December, he really got the license.

As expected, we didn’t even have to wait a month.

Not only that, he went to sit with the school leaders in the morning, and the school leaders also told Zhou Qing that the talks with the theater chain were almost done.

Of course, the specific work was not done by Nortel.

Beijing Film Academy simply used its connections to contact China Film Group.

After all, the Film Academy has always been the traditional sphere of influence of China Film Corporation. When Beijing Film Academy has excellent films to release, China Film Corporation naturally cannot ignore it.

They are our own children after all.

As for the screening schedule, China Film Group initially planned to give only 5%, which is indeed not high, but Zhou Qing can understand it.

"127 Hours" was produced at such a low cost, and all the actors and actresses were newcomers, so this 5% is still a face-giving gesture.

To be honest, Zhou Qing is already very satisfied. If he were to negotiate on his own, the price would only be lower.

"Don't be discouraged. Once the movie wins an award, the screening schedule will naturally increase."

The school leader was afraid that Zhou Qing might be hurt, so he smiled and comforted him.

"I understand, Director. I am very grateful for this."

Zhou Qing hurriedly thanked him, and it was absolutely from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, there is no need to wait until it wins the award. Even if it is shortlisted, China Film Group will pay more attention to "127 Hours".

Generally speaking, the Berlin Film Festival opens in early February every year and closes in mid-February.

As for the shortlist, it will be announced at the end of January.

Now that December is coming to an end, it will take less than a month for Berlin to announce the shortlist.

Therefore, both Zhou Qing and the Beijing Film Academy have been secretly following the Berlin Film Festival.

As for the Golden Horse Awards, they are usually held at the end of the year, so there is no need to be too anxious.

It’s not too late to go after Berlin.

But right now, I can’t take care of so much.

The final exam is coming.

Like other students, Zhou Qing spends his days looking for information and writing papers besides attending classes.

In addition, you need to find a partner to rehearse the sketch.

Because the students in the Department of Performance are different from those in other departments, the performance class exams are conducted in the form of report performances.

This thing is equivalent to a stage play, which is done in one go from beginning to end without any NGs in the middle.

It is quite difficult and takes a long time to prepare.

"Qingzi, I'll leave the sketch to you."

Zhu Yawen, this shameless guy, went to Zhou Qing again and shamelessly pushed the matter onto Zhou Qing.

Who says Zhou Qing is a great director?
"Go away. I don't want to rehearse with you."

However, Zhou Qing directly and ruthlessly rejected Zhu Yawen.

"No way, who else would you follow if not me?" Zhu Yawen asked Zhou Qing curiously.

"It's not you anyway!"

Zhou Qing kept the secret.

Would he tell Zhu Yawen that he had talked with Tianxian these days and was waiting for Tianxian to come back to rehearse together?
"It can't be Sissi, right? You are such a jerk who forgets your friends for the sake of a beautiful woman!"

Zhu Yawen was not stupid either, and he quickly guessed something.

"Yeah, what can you do to me?"

Zhou Qing raised his head with an arrogant expression.

Zhu Yawen: “…”

What should I do if I really want to hit someone?
But if it was Liu Yifei, Zhu Yawen would know that he really had no hope.

After all, brothers are not as important as women.

Hands and feet can be severed at any time!
"Zhou Qing, I'll leave the skit to you!"

After Liu Yifei came back, she also found Zhou Qing and told him what Zhu Yawen had said.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Zhou Qing agreed without thinking and patted his chest.

Zhu Yawen felt more resentful after seeing this.

This brother is really unacceptable. He behaves completely differently when facing Sissi, right?

Zhou Qingcai ignored Zhu Yawen and discussed the plot and rehearsed sketches with Liu Yifei every day.

It was a lot of fun.

"By the way, Zhou Qing, has your movie been scheduled?"

During this period, Liu Yifei also paid attention to Zhou Qing's movies.

Tianxian is the only person in the class, besides Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin, who knows that Zhou Qing is making a movie.

"It's fixed, July 2."

Zhou Qing gave a definite answer.

"I'll go see it as soon as possible."

The fairy immediately said to Zhou Qing without hesitation.

"That's settled then."

Zhou Qing just laughed.

The final exams at Beijing Film Academy last a long time, from the end of December to mid-January.

This is especially true for the Department of Performance, after all, reporting performances is quite troublesome.

Fortunately, there is top director Zhou Qing, and his and Liu Yifei's sketch received the highest score.

"The highest score! I never expected that! Zhou Qing, you are amazing!"

The fairy smiled as beautiful as a flower and began to shake Zhou Qing's arm continuously.

In response, Zhou Qing just smiled coquettishly.

Are you kidding? He is the one who is going to attack Berlin.

Isn’t it easy to write a skit?

After the final exam, Liu Tianxian did not stay in school for a few days, and rushed back to the crew to film.

As for Zhou Qing?

All my energy was focused on the Berlin Film Festival.

Whenever I have time, I will refresh the official website of the film festival.

If nothing unexpected happens, the shortlist will be released in the next few days.

It's not just Zhou Qing, Beijing Film Academy, Zhang Guoshi, Li Yang from "Blind Well", Wang Zhiwen from "Finny's Smile", the entire entertainment industry.

The eyes of the whole world are on Berlin.

After much anticipation, the Berlin Film Festival shortlist has finally been announced.

"Adapted Script", "The Hours", "Hero", "Blind Shaft"...

Zhou Qing glanced carefully at the list, and to be honest, he was a little nervous.

But not long after, Zhou Qing's pupils suddenly shrank.

"127 Hours"!
