Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 35 A blockbuster

After a short break, the award-winning filmmakers accepted interviews from international media under the arrangement of the organizers.

Needless to say, three Chinese filmmakers, Zhang Guoshi, Li Yang and Zhou Qing, are among them.

However, the treatment of several people is not exactly the same.

Li Yang won a trophy through "Blind Well", which will attract a certain degree of attention no matter what.

Although Zhang Guoshi's "Hero" is far from expectations, his status and position are there and he will not be neglected.

But at this moment, both Master Zhang and Li Yang were overshadowed by Zhou Qing.

It's not just these two Chinese-language filmmakers, but most international filmmakers as well.

Who asked Zhou Qing to win the Best Director Award?
Although they are both silver bears, Zhou Qing’s silver bear is much heavier!
Second only to the highest award, the Golden Bear.

This made Zhou Qing, a Chinese-looking man, the natural focus of interviews.

"127 Hours is your debut film, but it won such a heavyweight award as Best Director. How do you feel at this moment?"

"Excited and thrilled! I am very happy that the organizing committee recognized "127 Hours" and I thank the organizing committee for giving me this honor."

"According to what I have learned, you are only 127 years old this year. At such an age, how did you manage to make a masterpiece like Hours?"

“I think it’s the love for movies.”

"Master Zhang is a representative figure of Chinese films, but his film Hero only won the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award. What do you think of this?"

"I see with my eyes."

"As the youngest winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director in history, what do you want to say most at this moment?"

“Thanks to my parents!”

"Do you feel regretful that you didn't win the Golden Bear this year? Will you come to Berlin to win the Golden Bear again in the future?"

"We'll talk about the future later. Who knows now?"

……

After the interview, Zhou Qing did not return to the hotel directly.

Instead, he took Huang Bo and other main creators to attend the celebratory reception hosted by the organizer.

Of course, this cocktail party is non-mandatory and you can choose to attend or not.

But Zhou Qing had just won a trophy from the organizer, and it would be unreasonable not to go.

What's more, this kind of cocktail party attended by many international celebrities has only advantages and no disadvantages for Zhou Qing, so why not join in?

Not to mention, in addition to some directors and actors, many film producers will also come to support.

However, the market situation of "127 Hours" is different from before, and Zhou Qing is still looking forward to meeting those film producers again.

"Director Zhou!"

"Director Zhou!"

Unlike when he first arrived in Berlin and no one paid attention to him, this time Zhou Qing immediately became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as he entered the banquet hall.

Many international filmmakers greeted Zhou Qing enthusiastically.

"Zhou, 127 Hours is a very good movie. I watched it a few days ago and was deeply shocked."

"I have long wanted to meet the genius director who can direct such a genius movie."

Among the many filmmakers, the biggest one is Nicolas Cage.

At this time, Uncle Cage was not yet the king of bad movies in later generations, but one of the top and most watched superstars in Hollywood.

Not only is every movie he makes a hit, he has also won an Oscar for Best Actor.

This is something that even Leo hasn't been able to do at this stage.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Cage. You are an excellent actor."

Zhou Qing also offered a wave of commercial mutual praise.

"Have you ever thought about developing your career in Hollywood? I have worked with Wu Yusen from your Hua Xia, and it was a very pleasant experience." "I hope we can work together once if there is a chance."

Nicolas Cage said this and extended his hand to Zhou Qing.

"Of course, I also hope to work with an excellent actor like you."

Zhou Qing had a faint smile on his face, and like a gentleman, he gently shook hands with Uncle Cage.

However, Zhou Qing just listened to what Cage said about cooperation and didn't take it to heart at all.

It's just polite talk, who can't say it?

"Fuck, Nicolas Cage, Aoko, he even came to say hello to you."

Zhu Yawen on the side was almost green with envy, because that guy was a top Hollywood star.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the global entertainment industry, they are all unattainable giants.

"Keep calm, he's just a Hollywood star, look at what you've accomplished."

Huang Bo looked disappointed and scolded Zhu Yawen harshly, "Qingzi is considered an international director now, okay!"

Strictly speaking, Huang Bo is not exaggerating.

The three best directors in Europe are of great value internationally.

What’s even worse is that Zhou Qing is still young.

He is only nineteen years old now.

He won the Best Director award at this age, so he must have a bright future.

If you give him enough time, he might even win an Oscar.

This is also an important reason why many international filmmakers have a high regard for Zhou Qing.

This person is not only strong but also has great potential, so he is worth investing in.

"Director Zhou, if there are suitable roles in the future, please find me."

After walking around the venue for a while, Hua Zai appeared in front of Zhou Qing holding a wine glass.

The main creators of "Infernal Affairs" also came to Berlin to make an appearance, and their main purpose was naturally to sell the film.

The film was scheduled to be screened in the Forum of New Cinema section. Zhou Qing had seen it before, but he just didn't go to show his support.

"sure."

Zhou Qing greeted Hua Zai politely and exchanged contact information.

The party was already halfway through with toasts coming and going, and Zhou Qing's gains were undoubtedly huge.

After walking around the venue a few times, I had a stack of business cards in my pocket and a lot more contacts in my address book.

There are both domestic and international ones.

Zhu Yawen and Luo Jin were so envious that they cried.

Andy Lau, Leung Chiu Wai, Princess, Ge Da Ye...

It's really hard to accept that Qingzi can chat and laugh with such top celebrities.

Ignoring Zhu Yawen and the others, Zhou Qing started to contact the film producers.

Just as expected, when the film producers saw Zhou Qing again, their attitudes became more enthusiastic.

The quotes for "127 Hours" have basically doubled, and some film producers have even increased it.

Anyway, this is the Best Director Award.

However, Zhou Qing was only making preliminary contact with these film producers this time and had no plans to sell the film right away, so he decided to talk about it first.

You have to know that "127 Hours" is in short supply now, and it's definitely a seller's market, so Zhou Qing is naturally not in a hurry.

He planned to stay in Berlin for another two days to meet more film producers and try to negotiate the highest price for "127 Hours".

Just as Zhou Qing had planned before coming:
For this trip to Berlin, we want fame and money as well!
