Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 37 Sold at a sky-high price

In the Berlin Hotel, Zhou Qing, who woke up naturally, stretched comfortably.

After putting on clothes and taking a quick shower, he took out his cell phone out of habit and turned off the flight mode.

Buzz!
The cell phone instantly turned into a Transformer, vibrating wildly in Zhou Qing's hand.

After it was thrown onto the bed, it continued to vibrate for more than five minutes before it stopped, just like a mobile phone bomb.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

He knew that after the news of his winning was passed back, public opinion might explode a little, but he didn't expect it to explode to this extent.

It's a bit exaggerated.

But I have to say, this sudden explosion of popularity seems to be really good.

I opened my phone and took a quick look, and it was the same as the last time the shortlist was announced.

It takes a long time to scroll through the missed calls, unread text messages, and QQ messages.

Zhou Qing ignored most of them and just picked out a few important ones to reply to.

"Teacher Wang, you flatter me. I won the award by chance. I finally lived up to the school's cultivation. I still need to work harder."

"Dean Zhang, I would not have been able to receive this award without the strong support of the school. I should thank you and the school."

"Xixi, I should be back in a few days. Have you almost finished filming Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils?"

boom!
The door was pushed open heavily, and Zhu Yawen, Huang Bo and others rushed in as if they were injected with chicken blood.

"Qingzi, you're famous! You're really famous!"

"It's more than just fire, it's simply exploding with fire!"

"Yeah, you're going to be famous this time!"

Several people were yelling at Zhou Qing.

Each voice is louder than the last, each emotion is more exciting than the last.

It's like winning millions in the lottery.

"What are you doing, yelling so early in the morning?"

Zhou Qing glanced at these guys with a bit of dissatisfaction.

I was chatting and talking nonsense with a girl, and it really ruined the atmosphere.

"How come you're still so calm? You're famous now!"

Zhu Yawen ran over, quickly turned on the computer in Zhou Qing's room, and started operating it.

"See for yourself!"

Zhu Yawen called up the relevant page and urged Zhou Qing impatiently.

Zhou Qing walked over and took a quick look, and found that they were all reports related to this year's Berlin Film Festival.

My name is a prominent feature among them.

"The 53rd Berlin Film Festival has come to an end. Young Chinese director Zhou Qing defeated Patrice Chéreau and won the Best Director trophy."

"A legendary director from China, the best director in Berlin at the age of 19."

"Chinese director Zhou Qing won the Best Director Award for "127 Hours", becoming the youngest winner of the Best Director Award in history."

"Chinese filmmakers shined at this Berlin Film Festival, and young director Zhou Qing attracted worldwide attention."

You have to know that these are all in the pages of international media, and Zhou Qing's name has been mentioned again and again, and they are basically all praise and commendation.

Looking at the entire Chinese entertainment director circle, there are few people who enjoy such treatment.

Zhou Qing finally understood why Huang Bo and Zhu Yawen were so excited.

Even he himself couldn't help but smile.

It seems that the Berlin Film Festival really fired its own shot.

Not bad, not bad. Zhou Qing was very satisfied.

clap clap clap!
Zhu Yawen made another quick move and pulled out some domestic news pages as well.

Compared with the international page, the domestic page is obviously more high-profile.

"At only 19 years old, Zhou Qing won the Best Director Award in Berlin. A talented director has emerged!"

"The next Master Zhang? No, he may even surpass Master Zhang in the future! He's only nineteen years old!"

“The most talented director in the history of Chinese-language films, bar none!”

Zhou Qing's smile twitched subconsciously. This is really exaggerating.

It's fine to call himself a genius and praise himself to the sky, Zhou Qing has no objection to these things.

Strictly speaking, he is fully worthy of the praise as he is carrying such a heavy responsibility.

Zhou Qing himself also enjoys the feeling of being worshipped and admired. He is just so vulgar.

But you just praise yourselves, why do you have to drag down Master Zhang?
Isn't this just bringing hatred to yourself?

Even though Master Zhang himself has a much bigger vision than the great poet Chen and Feng Gangpao, he will still not feel comfortable no matter what.

Who is willing to be a stepping stone for a junior?
But overall, Zhou Qing was in a very good mood and soon stopped paying attention to these unimportant things.

I couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud: "Isn't this all true? Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Qingzi, you're being too hypocritical."

Zhu Yawen almost couldn't help but punch Zhou Qing's face, which looked so smiling that it deserved a beating.

Damn, all the things I've pretended to be these days combined are not even one-tenth of what you have now.

"By the way, Qingzi, we plan to go back first."

After chatting for a while, Huang Bo, Zhu Yawen and others began to say goodbye to Zhou Qing.

Thinking about it, they have been in Berlin for many days and now that the film festival is over, it is time to go back.

What's more, Zhou Qing obviously has something to do next.

Not only can they not be of much help, but they can't just stay here and get in the way of other people's business.

It’s better to go back early.

Zhou Qing naturally had no objection to this. After a brief stay, he sent the few people away from the hotel.

And next, he will start to make a big splash in Berlin!

During the many days in Berlin, Zhou Qing met and talked with many film producers.

I have a general idea of ​​which film producer is reliable and which one is likely to offer a high price.

Therefore, what he needs to do next is to select some "high-quality film producers" from the vast number of film producers he has contacted for the next round of negotiations.

How much "127 Hours" can ultimately sell for depends on these crucial few days.

"Thomas."

"Edward."

"Billy."

"Vitas."

In the following few days, Zhou Qing was either meeting with film producers or on his way to meet with film producers.

It can be said that he is very busy.

But in the end, the hard work was not in vain.

After Zhou Qing signed the contract with the last film producer, he did some calculations.

The copyrights to all parts of the world except China have been sold, totaling US$4.5 million!

"Four and a half million! Holy shit! This is a huge profit!"

Zhou Qing himself was shocked by this number.

You should know that I only invested 127 RMB in the filming of " Hours".

As a result, it was sold in Berlin for 4.5 million US dollars.

But if you think about it again, the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award for "Blind Shaft" sold for 3 million, then my own Best Director award of 4.5 million does seem reasonable.

The exchange rate during this era was around 8.23.

In other words, Zhou Qing sold 37 million RMB.

hiss!
Even Zhou Qing couldn't help but gasp.

This is simply a money grab.

No, even if you're robbing money, it won't be that fast.

Coupled with the huge halo that the trophy brought to him, Zhou Qing really achieved his previous goal.

You have to grab both money and fame with both hands, and you have to be strong in both!
