I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 65 Screening
After the opening ceremony, Wan Qingshan and others returned to the hotel, changed their clothes, and discussed going out to eat together.

Only then did I realize that Liu Wei, who had returned to his room before, had never come down.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zong went up to find Liu Wei.

Soon, Zhang Zong came down alone.

"Director Wan, Teacher Liu Wei said he was not feeling well, so he stopped going."

Yan Dong, who knew the inside story, saw this and said coldly, "What's wrong with him is that he's dissatisfied with Qingzi for cutting his scene. It's not like he wasn't paid, Qingzi doesn't owe him anything."

Yan Dong wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Wan Qingshan.

"Yan Dong, if it were you, you would definitely be unhappy. Okay, don't talk about this anymore and go eat."

The next day, at the door of Screening Room No. [-].

"Director Jia, thank you for your support." Wan Qingshan thanked Jia Zhangke and his party for coming.

Jia Zhangke smiled and introduced the two people around him to Wan Qingshan, "Director Wan, this is my film's leading female lead Zhao Tao, and this is my film's leading male lead Cheng Taishen."

"Hello you two, thank you for coming."

Zhao Tao was about to say a few words, but when Jia Zhangke saw a group of reporters coming this way, he said before Zhao Tao,
"Director Wan, you must be very busy today, so we won't disturb you. Let's go in first."

As soon as Jia Zhangke and the other three walked in, a group of reporters came over and surrounded Wanqingshan.

"Director Wan, do you have time to say a few words?"

"Director Wan, say a few words."

,,,,,,
Seeing a bunch of microphones and recorders hanging around his mouth, including those from CCTV, Wan Qingshan said helplessly, "Okay, but let's move to another place. Blocking here will affect the audience who want to go in and watch the movie."

As long as Wan Qingshan is willing to be interviewed, the reporter can go anywhere.Then, they made way for Wan Qingshan to step aside for the interview.

Before the reporter spoke, Wan Qingshan shouted, "There are too many of you, so let me roll your name, okay."

Before they could speak, Wan Qingshan clicked on the reporter whose microphone had the CCTV logo on it.
"You ask first."

Wan Qingshan thought that it was CCTV after all, so he should give the other party some face.

Moreover, CCTV reporters should not ask outrageous questions. They only need to praise the Venice Film Festival and say a few words of self-effacement.

Unexpectedly, the reporter girl, who had just been transferred from the legal channel, startled Wan Qingshan with her first question.

"Hello, Director Wan, I heard that "Heart" originally failed to pass the censorship. It was only after several lobbying efforts by China Film Chairman Han Sanping that it passed.

Director Wan, please tell me, does this mean that when it comes to film review, the General Administration has not done a good job of complying with the rules, and is suspected of being privy to power. "

Wan Qingshan now regrets why he gave CCTV face.

This question also made other reporters look at him in amazement, and then they all sighed in their hearts, this reporter is so awesome, he actually dares to go to the General Administration.

"Well, I don't know much about film review. I just sent the film for review. However, I think the General Administration should follow the rules and regulations in the review, otherwise it would have been chaos."

Seeing that the girl still wanted to speak, Wan Qingshan quickly turned his head and shouted to a reporter casually, "Okay, it's your turn to ask."

The reporter who was called was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and then asked quickly, "Director Wan, I heard that at the opening ceremony last night, filmmakers from all over the world were excited by "Heart". Many filmmakers praised it. A film that will leave its name in film history. Director Wan, does this mean you will win a big award?"

"I think everyone who comes to the Venice Film Festival hopes to win a prize, but whether they can win or not depends on the judges."

Then, Wan Qingshan named another reporter.

After answering several reporters' questions, Wanqingshan, who was half a head taller than the reporter, saw Marco Muller leading a group of people walking towards this direction. His eyes suddenly lit up.

"Okay everyone, Venice Chairman Marco Muller is here, I have to go there." Wan Qingshan said like a machine gun, pushed away the reporters who had not yet reacted, and strode away.

"Mr. Marco Muller, thank you for coming."

Mark Muller smiled and shook the hand extended by Wanqingshan, and said in Chinese, "I never tire of watching "In the Heart". If I have the opportunity to watch it again, of course I will come."

"Heart" is very attractive to filmmakers. After Marco Muller entered, several groups of people from other crews came.

After waiting for a while, Hou Xiaoxian arrived and introduced the three island actors around him.

Then, one of them, a woman named Yi Qingyao, said excitedly in half-baked Chinese, "Hello, Director Wan, I have watched your movie "Selection"."

Wan Qingshan smiled and was about to humble himself when suddenly, he thought of something.

"Hello, could you please tell me how the box office of "The Selection" was in your country?"

"It's great, more than 6000 million."

Wan Qingshan calculated in his mind that with more than 6000 million yen, that is more than 300 million yuan, plus the video tape, the buyer of the film must have made a lot of money, so the price of "Heart" can be raised.

After Hou Xiaoxian and his party entered, Wan Qingshan waited for a while. Seeing that it was almost time, he called Yu Bo and others in.

In the screening room, less than half were filmmakers who had watched "In the Heart".

But after watching it again, they couldn't help but marvel at Wan Qingshan's acting skills.

So, after the movie ended, they clapped along with the rest of the audience.

"Heart" is highly rated in the film circle, but it seems not as good as "Selection" in the hearts of the audience.

At least after watching "Heart", no audience shouted at Wan Qingshan like they did after watching "Selection".

This made Wan Qingshan feel a little sad. From the audience's reaction, he could think of the box office of "Heart", which was probably the same.

After the movie was over and Marco Muller and others were sent away, Wan Qingshan did not continue to guard the No. [-] screening room stupidly.After he handed over the reception work at the door to Yu Bo and others, he started walking around.

In the evening, Zhang Zong went to Wanqingshan.

"Director Wan, this is the film festival program. The ratings for "Heart" have been released."

Wan Qingshan took the program and put it aside, "Brother Zhang, I can't understand foreign languages ​​either. Just tell me the score."

"Director Wan, "Heart" ranked first, with a score of 4.5." Zhang Zong said excitedly.

Wan Qingshan's eyes widened in disbelief. He didn't expect the score to be so high.

"Director Wan, the news media here in Venice think that "Heart" is a favorite for the Golden Lion Award. Director Wan, if you win a Golden Lion Award, you will be a well-deserved great director."

Zhang Zong looked excited and was a little incoherent.

He also participated in "Heart". "Heart" won the Golden Lion Award. For him, it was an honor. After returning, he could be promoted.

Wan Qingshan came back to his senses and said calmly, "Brother Zhang, don't get too happy too early. They say you will die if you don't get hot."

Zhang Zong also knew this, so he made preparations.

"Director Wan, I contacted the publisher of MK2. They want to buy the European rights to "Heart". The most important thing is that they have many contacts and can help us lobby the judges."

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Zhang, can you arrange for me to meet with them tomorrow?"

Zhang Zong looked happy and said with a smile, "No problem."
