You made me a superstar

Chapter 71 "The Bottom of the Mine" Premiere Ticket
Zhou Yilin hid in the hotel room, lowered his head, and smoked cigarettes one by one.

The entire room was filled with smoke, and the assistant could barely keep his eyes open.

The copyright contract lay motionless on the table.

The atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing. Director Zhou Yilin had already smoked more than 30 cigarettes in one hour, one after another.

The assistant just stood there, neither daring to go out nor sit down, nor daring to disturb Zhou Yilin.

"Warring States" is beyond their expectations.

I thought it was a mistake in Berlin that "Warring States" was not shortlisted in Berlin. As long as there are a few film premieres, and another wave of operations, the overseas copyright of "Warring States" will skyrocket.

but!
The situation is too bad.

Before the filmmaker watched the premiere of "Warring States", they were still full of expectations for the movie "Warring States", and expressed that they could consider cooperation, but after watching the samples of "Warring States", no matter how enthusiastic the atmosphere was, Those who applauded were excited, and the producers unanimously chose to shake their heads.

"Watch other movies for now."

After leaving these words, they left the screening hall one after another.

Seeing the backs of them leaving, Zhou Yilin felt angry at first, wishing to wring their heads off and stuff them into the big screen, let them see the art of the film he made, and even wanted to scold these guys for not knowing the art of film , eyes do not know gold inlaid with jade.

That feeling was like being punched hard in the chest by someone, very angry, but unable to breathe.

But after calming down, Zhou Yilin fell silent.

Any fool knows something isn't right.

He understood that there should be something wrong with the movie he made.

The next day, two more copyrights were sold, but these two copyrights are really a drop in the bucket for the volume of "Warring States".

Overwhelming publicity investment and prime-time film screenings, in exchange for only a few filmmakers!
This sense of gap inevitably gave Zhou Yilin a sense of despair.

"what time is it now?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning."

"The premiere of "Mine Bottom" starts in three hours?"

"Yes, Zhou Yang sent us an invitation letter, do we want to..."

In the room, Zhou Yilin finally stubbed out the cigarette butt and looked at the assistant.

After hearing the assistant's answer, Zhou Yilin glanced out the window, his eyes flickering.

"Wang Shuai didn't come?"

"Well, when "Warring States" premiered, Director Wang didn't come..."

"Forget it, don't worry about this kind of small-hearted people. After all, "Mine Bottom" is our company's movie. No matter what, you have to go and support it. After all, it is not right about people."

..............................

The filming schedule of "Mine Bottom" was really bad.

There are a total of five rehearsals, and they are basically at unpopular times like lunch and dinner. Compared with the rehearsal of "Warring States", it is almost born by a biological mother and picked up by a stepmother.

As of one hour before the premiere of the movie, only more than 20 premiere tickets had been sold.

Among them, there are a few people in the crew who bought tickets out of their own pockets.

of course.

This is understandable, "The Bottom of the Mine" itself doesn't have any big actors, the director is a pure newcomer, and it's not a big investment, it's a niche literary film...

Who would go to see a little-known literary movie from China when they are full?

Wang Shuai is quite famous in these film festivals...

However, there are not many directors like Wang Shuai at the Berlin International Film Festival, and Wang Shuai himself is actually quite disgusted with being friendly and supportive, which makes him feel very hypocritical.

He always believed that a movie should rely on the strength of the movie itself to speak instead of all kinds of embarrassing blows.

So he looked down on Zhou Yilin's deceitful attitude from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't even bother to join him.

Of course, it is even more impossible for him to make friendly operations such as sending tickets everywhere.

Sending tickets everywhere, isn't that even admitting that his movies are cheap?

This kind of thing...

He really can't do it.

September 2st at 25:10 am.

There are 45 minutes until the movie opens.

Wang Shuai left the hotel and came to the No. 6 screening hall in the Berlin screening area.

Then...

The deserted scene he imagined did not appear, but he was surprised to find that the auditorium was full of people!
So many women?
He wondered.

Just as he walked towards the bursts of bustling sounds, he was stunned when he saw a figure!

He saw Zhou Yang standing next to the ticket sales staff, with a naive expression on his face, wearing a very cute bear suit, and holding a sign in his hand that read, "The premiere of "Mine Bottom", thank you for your support..." English signboard, under the English signboard there is a cute little bear head, smiling silly at everyone.

A group of blonde girls surrounded Zhou Yang excitedly. Some bought tickets, some picked up a conversation, some stepped forward to stroke Zhou Yang's hair and shrugged his stomach, and some even held Zhou Yang's shoulders with their mobile phones to take a photo with Zhou Yang. Boldly making a kiss from a distance...

What is this thing doing!
He squeezed into the crowd and came to Zhou Yang's side.

"What are you doing here if you don't go into town?" Wang Shuai frowned deeply.

"Ah, Director Wang, I came here a little early today, and it happened that the staff member in the blazing overalls suddenly had diarrhea, so I helped him replace him for a while, thinking that our tickets were selling poorly, so I ran over to help our "Mine" Bottom" to solicit votes, I didn't expect the people here to be so enthusiastic..."

"Oh, it's almost sold out, let's go in!"

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes."

"Go!"

Looking at Zhou Yang's appearance, Wang Shuai felt more and more uncomfortable. For some reason, there was always an indescribable anger. He wished he could pull off the bear's ears and hair stuck on Zhou Yang's head.

..............................

Zhou Yilin originally thought that the premiere of "Mine Bottom" would be easy.

no one came to see...

However, when he came to the No. 6 projection hall and saw that the entire projection hall was full of people, he widened his eyes in disbelief.

What made him even more unbelievable was that at first glance, 70.00% of the entire auditorium was filled with girls.

There were girls from all over the world, and before the movie started, everyone was chattering, holding popcorn, as if they had come to watch some idol movie.

What's going on with "Mine Bottom"?

You have to be more serious about making fakes, right?

With so many girls, even a fool can see that you hired extras!
Zhou Yilin frowned and looked towards the back row.

He saw several familiar figures.

Are those producers from Australia, Panama, Mexico and other countries?

These filmmakers were pointing, pointing at these girls, and pointing at the movie posters.

How did they come?

Zhou Yilin was a little shocked.

This group of filmmakers are all filmmakers who have participated in "Heroes" and "Warring States"!

"Director Zhou is here? Rare guest, rare guest, Director Zhou, I heard that you have sold a few copyrights before? Congratulations, unlike our "Mine Bottom", which probably has nothing to do with the premiere, our "Mine Bottom" "Only sold five copyrights... Hey, by the way, Director Zhou, how many copyrights did you sell?"

"Not much, not much, almost..."

It was not Zhou Yang who greeted Zhou Yilin, but Wang Shuai.

When Wang Shuai saw him, he showed a rare smile, as bright as the sun in winter, and he held his hand tightly.

Zhou Yilin also smiled brightly on the surface, but in his heart he wanted to tear Wang Shuai's mouth into pieces!

This guy definitely did it on purpose!
After he was seated, Wang Shuai stared at the entrance of the screening hall again. A few blonde girls and a few potbellied filmmakers entered the entrance...

What exactly is going on!

How could there be so many filmmakers and audiences in this unpopular cheating time?
Just when Zhou Yilin was wondering, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.

His pupils shrank.

He found that figure, it seemed to be the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit, Charlotte Sally!
