Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 28 Wang Baoqiang's Surprise
It took an hour to complete the process of verifying identity, collecting badge and seat number.

The tag is the pass to the film festival. Without it, ordinary people cannot enter.

In addition, the tags are divided into different types, including those for journalists, tourists, and filmmakers.

The tourists have the lowest privileges with their badges, and can only wander around the outer areas of the movie theater.

There are too many places to go for eating, drinking, entertainment, watching movies, etc.

The filmmaker badges Zhou Qing and his friends received undoubtedly gave them the highest authority, allowing them to go wherever they wanted in the entire venue.

“I have also been to Berlin.”

Touching the brand new tag on his neck, Zhu Yawen smiled like a fool.

"Look at your country bumpkin look, can you please stop embarrassing yourself?"

Luo Jin was so disdainful that he pointed at Zhou Qing and said, "Look at Qingzi and Lao Huang."

The calmest among the group were Zhou Qing and Huang Bo.

One of them has lived two lives and the other is older, so even if he is excited, he can control himself.

"Is this Berlin? Not bad."

Huang Bo looked around seriously and nodded in a condescending manner.

This is not being calm, but really showing off.

Several people walked around the venue while chatting and laughing, which could be described as an eye-opener.

Although the official opening of the film festival is still a few days away, even now, many international filmmakers have appeared.

Of course there are also domestic ones, and there are even quite a few.

"Uncle Ge! I saw the real person."

"Really? I didn't expect Mr. Ge to come too!"

In a bustling crowd, a bald head is always more likely to attract people's attention.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin both looked in a certain direction excitedly and shouted.

Zhou Qing also turned his head to look and found that it was indeed Uncle Ge.

"Why is Mr. Ge here too? Is his movie also nominated?"

Luo Jin muttered something a little strangely.

"Not all the people who come to the film festival are award-winning ones. Some of them come here specifically to premiere and sell their films."

Zhou Qing knew a lot about these things, so he explained them to Luo Jin, a newbie.

If I remember correctly, Lu Xuechang's "Kara is a Dog" was indeed included in the screening unit.

I don't remember exactly what screening unit it was, but it was a non-competitive unit and did not participate in the awards.

To put it bluntly, I'm here simply to sell movies.

As for whether it can be sold or not, it depends on your ability.

"So that's it."

Luo Jin nodded, finally understanding.

"Let's go sign in first, then go watch a movie."

After strolling for a while, Zhou Qing said hello to Huang Bo and others and took them to the organizer.

"127 Hours" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit, and the crew has to sign in with the organizer.

At least you should leave your contact information in the film festival address book, right?

Otherwise, if there is any follow-up news, I won’t be able to notify you even if I want to.

After that, there was nothing serious to do, just playing and relaxing.

After walking around the venue, everyone decided to go see a movie.

This is also an important benefit of attending a film festival: excellent films from all over the world can be seen in advance.

Or many days in advance.

Of course, you still have to buy the tickets yourself, so you can’t watch it for free.

"Aoko, our movie!"

After walking around the screening area and being dazzled by the wide variety of movies, Zhou Qing and his friends finally found the screening hall for "127 Hours".

Zhu Yawen pointed at the promotional posters outside, his voice rising several octaves with excitement.

The only regret is that the person on the poster is that guy Huang Bo, and he and Luo Jin are nowhere to be seen.

"This poster is very well made. Look at the composition..." Huang Bo was also very excited and kept analyzing the poster while pointing at it.

"Okay, Old Huang has seen you, so stop pretending here."

Luo Jin pulled Huang Bo back with disgust.

This Old Huang really likes to show off whenever he gets the chance, and it never stops.

"Do you want some support?"

Zhu Yawen thought about it and made a suggestion.

After all, this is my own movie.

"Forget it, it's not like I haven't seen it before."

However, Zhou Qing waved his hand and flatly refused. Why waste that money?

Movie tickets are not cheap these days, and everyone’s salary is not that high.

"Blind Shaft? Is this the same movie that was nominated as ours?"

Not long after, several people discovered Blind Well’s screening room and were immediately interested.

I walked over quickly and took a look, and saw two people working hard to promote the product there.

Zhou Qing and Zhu Yawen didn't recognize who it was for the time being, but Zhou Qing noticed it at a glance.

Isn’t that Wang Baoqiang?
Wang Baoqiang during this period was extremely immature.

Even though he was wearing a suit, you could tell at a glance that he was a country boy.

This is not a derogatory statement. The honesty and simplicity in him are something that outsiders can never learn.

The two sides greeted each other in a friendly manner.

When Li Yang learned that the young man in front of him was the director of "127 Hours", he was still very polite.

"Director Zhou is truly a natural director. He is so young and can direct such an excellent film. I really admire him."

Li Yang expressed his admiration for Zhou Qing from the bottom of his heart.

It's not fake. He has already watched "127 Hours" with an attitude of learning and observation.

Honestly, I was shocked.

For an actor to be able to tell a story like this in just one scene is something that not everyone can do.

To be honest, Li Yang thought he couldn't compare to him.

As for the doubts from the outside world?
Li Yang sneered completely.

As long as you use your brain, you can tell that this movie must have been directed by Zhou Qing himself.

Is there anyone who can direct a film that is shortlisted for the main competition unit in Berlin and would use it to promote others?
What's more, how many directors like this are there in China?

They all have names, okay?

"Director Li, you are too polite. I am just luckier. I still need to learn a lot from my seniors."

Zhou Qing did not act arrogantly and quickly spoke a few humble words in front of Li Yang.

"This is Wang Baoqiang, a very good actor. Director Zhou can consider him if there is a suitable role in the future."

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Li Yang also introduced Wang Baoqiang specifically.

"It's natural."

Zhou Qing agreed.

It was not just a perfunctory response to Li Yang, but he really intended to do so.

Wang Baoqiang is just like Huang Bo, both are gifted.

Those who don’t know may look down on Wang Baoqiang at this time, but Zhou Qing knows Wang Baoqiang’s abilities.

"Baoqiang, why don't you come and meet Director Zhou?"

Seeing Wang Baoqiang still standing there like a fool, Li Yang greeted the silly boy helplessly.

"Hello, Director Zhou. I'm Wang Baoqiang."

Wang Baoqiang then said "oh" and extended his hand to Zhou Qing very stiffly.

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly observe Zhou Qing, his mind full of disbelief.

Was the great movie "127 Hours" really directed by this young man?
It doesn't look much older than me.
