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 open his eyes.

The    copyright contract lay motionless on the table.

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

The assistant just stood there, daring not to go out, not to sit down, nor to disturb Zhou Yilin.

   "Warring States" really exceeded their expectations.

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

but!

  The situation is too bad.

Before watching the premiere of "Warring States", the filmmakers were still full of expectations for the film "Warring States", and they could consider cooperation, but after watching the samples of "Warring States", no matter how enthusiastic the atmosphere was, The people who applauded and applauded were excited, and the filmmakers unanimously chose to shake their heads.

   "Take a look at other movies for now."

After    left this sentence, they all left the theater.

Watching the backs of them leaving, Zhou Yilin felt angry at first, and wanted to screw their heads off and put them on the big screen, so that they could see the art of the movies they made, and even wanted to scold these guys for not understanding the art of movies , The eyes do not recognize gold inlaid jade.

   That feeling is like being punched in the chest, very angry, but unable to breathe.

   But after calming down, Zhou Yilin fell silent.

  A fool knows that something is not right.

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

   Two more copyrights were sold the next day, but these two copyrights were a drop in the bucket for the size of "Warring States".

   Overwhelming publicity investment and prime-time film screenings, in exchange for only a few filmmakers!

   This sense of gap inevitably makes Zhou Yilin feel a sense of despair.

"what time is it now?"

   "Eight o'clock in the morning."

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

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

   In the room, Zhou Yilin finally snuffed out the cigarette **** and looked at his assistant.

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

   "Wang Shuai didn't come?"

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

   "Forget it, don't care about people like this, "The Bottom of the Mine" is our company's movie after all, and we have to go and support it no matter what, after all, it's not right for people."

  …………………………

   The timing of "The Bottom of the Mine" is really bad.

   A total of five film screenings, and they are basically unpopular times such as lunch and dinner. Compared with the filming of "Warring States", it was born by a real mother and picked up by a stepmother.

   As of an hour before the film's premiere, more than 20 premiere tickets were sold.

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

certainly.

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

   Who would go to watch a lesser-known literary film from China at such a time when they are full?

  Wang Shuai is a bit of a celebrity at these film festivals...

   But directors like Wang Shuai are not a lot at the Berlin International Film Festival, and Wang Shuai himself is actually quite disgusted with drawing friendships, which will make him feel very hypocritical.

   He always believed that a movie should speak with the strength of the movie itself, instead of all kinds of embarrassing words.

   So he looked down on Zhou Yilin's deceitful attitude, and he didn't even bother to cheer.

   Of course, he is even less likely to make friendly operations such as sending tickets everywhere.

   Sending tickets everywhere, isn’t this even the one who admits that his movies are cheap?

   This kind of thing...

   He really can't do it.

   February 25th at 10:15am.

   There are still forty-five minutes until the movie is released.

  Wang Shuai left the hotel and went to the No. 6 screening room in the Berlin screening area.

   Then...

   The deserted scene he imagined did not appear, but was surprised to find that the theater was crowded with people!

   So many women?

   he wondered.

   was walking towards the lively voices, and when he saw a figure, he was stunned!

He saw Zhou Yang standing next to the ticket sales staff, with a naive expression, wearing a very cute bear suit, and holding a letter in his hand that read "The Premiere of "Mining Bottom", thank you for your support..." The English sign, under the English sign there is also a cute bear head, smirking at the crowd.

A group of blondes excitedly surrounded Zhou Yang, some bought tickets, some struck up a conversation, some stepped forward to touch Zhou Yang and shrugged their stomachs, and some held their mobile phones, holding Zhou Yang's shoulders to take a photo with Zhou Yang, and some even Dare to make a kiss from a distance...

   What is this guy doing!

   He squeezed into the crowd and came to Zhou Yang's side.

   "Why are you staying here if you don't go into the town?" Wang Shuai frowned deeply.

"Ah, Director Wang, it's a little early today, and the staff member who happened to be wearing a flaming overalls suddenly had diarrhea, so I helped replace him for a while, thinking that our tickets were selling poorly, so I ran over to help our "mine" Bottom" canvassing 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!"

  Wang Shuai looked at Zhou Yang's appearance, and the more he looked, the more uncomfortable he felt. For some reason, there was always an indescribable anger. He could not wait to pull off the little bear's ears attached to Zhou Yang's head, together with his hair.

  …………………………

   Zhou Yilin originally thought that the premiere of "The Bottom of the Mine" was simple.

  No one came to see...

   However, when he came to the No. 6 projection hall and saw that the whole projection hall was crowded with people, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

   What made him even more unbelievable was that 70% of the entire theater was filled with girls.

  There are girls from all over the world. Before the movie starts, everyone is chatting and holding popcorn, as if they came to watch some idol movie.

   What's going on with "The Bottom of the Mine"?

   You are also serious about making fakes, right?

   With so many girls, a fool can see that you have invited extras!

   Zhou Yilin frowned and looked at the back row.

   He saw several familiar figures.

   Is that a film company from Australia, Panama, Mexico and other countries?

   This group of filmmakers is pointing, pointing at these girls, and pointing at the movie posters.

  How did they come?

   Zhou Yilin was a little shocked.

   These filmmakers are all filmmakers who have participated in "Heroes" and "Warring States"!

"Director Zhou is here? Rare guest, rare guest, Director Zhou, I heard you sold a few copyrights before? Congratulations, unlike our "Mining Bottom", which probably has no premiere relationship, our "Mining Bottom" "Only five copyrights were sold... 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, a rare smile appeared on his face, 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 could not wait to tear Wang Shuai's mouth apart!

   This guy definitely did it on purpose!

   After being seated, Wang Shuai stared at the entrance of the screening hall again, and there were a few blonde girls and a few potbellied filmmakers who came in at the door...

What exactly is going on!

   In this unpopular time, how come so many filmmakers and audiences came in?

   Just when Zhou Yilin was wondering, he suddenly saw several familiar figures.

   His pupils shrank.

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