Chapter 201: Absurd Movie Feast (8,000 Monthly Tickets Plus More!)

Chen Bin looked at "Paging 1988".

There were only images, without any sound, not even a trace.

The editing was messy...

It seemed like a novice had practiced editing.

He was stunned.

This version was completely different from the domestic version, and even the foreign version.

But...

I don't know if Zhang Sheng's recording just now raised the artistic atmosphere of the entire venue.

I don't know if Chen Bin was looking forward to something instinctively!

Although "Paging 1988" was edited in a mess, the more Chen Bin watched it, the more he felt that it was a new editing technique.

Indistinctly, it seemed that "Paging 1988" used a silent film method to explain the deep expression and conflict!

He chatted with Gao Hui.

"Let's take a look first!"

Gao Hui was at a loss, and he couldn't understand the plot.

The plot of the movie was sometimes flashback, sometimes flat, and sometimes interpolated...

It was very brain-burning.

But after watching for more than ten minutes, I vaguely felt that the other party wanted to show a new way of film art expression.

He turned his head...

Looking at the row of fans behind him.

The fans didn't show any confusion on their faces. Instead, they were watching seriously, as if they were very interested. Gao Hui vaguely heard a series of incomprehensible whispers.

He guessed that they were discussing the plot.

The movie was in the middle...

Gao Hui began to gradually adapt to this new "film art expression" method.

A very simple story seemed to be connected by some kind of thread, as if it was another different experience.

He looked at the audience in the audience again, and the audience began to watch with relish.

They seemed to understand and were looking forward to the subsequent plot?

Wait!

These public judges, are their aesthetic art so high now?

The movie was still playing...

It was in the second half.

The plot in the second half began to resume the normal narrative method, but the actors' acting skills were a bit awkward.

Gao Hui felt something was wrong!

That was...

the failure material that got them eliminated!

How did this thing get cut in?

He looked back at Chen Bin, wanting to talk to Chen Bin about these things.

But Chen Bin didn't seem to feel embarrassed. Instead, he was watching very seriously, and the appreciation in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

"This is called professionalism!"

Chen Bin's words made Gao Hui a little suspicious.

Then...

Continue watching the movie!

…………………………

Ke Zhan Chi returned to his seat.

He didn't know what kind of emotion he had after watching "Paging 1988".

However, although the movie was edited quite chaotically and most people found it difficult to watch, after watching it, they could still roughly see the main line and details.

This is a disaster!

The moment he finished watching it, this thought came to his mind.

But...

Thunderous applause!

This thunderous applause made Ke Zhan Chi feel something was wrong!

Wait!

Did Mr. Zhang invite so many Brazilian actors to warm up for "Paging 1988"?

This absurd thought appeared in his mind, but when he turned around and looked at the audience, he felt something was wrong.

These audiences seemed very enthusiastic!

It doesn't look like an act!

With this doubtful mood, Ke Zhanchi finally found Tom...

Tom, as a judge, also watched with great interest.

After Ke Zhanchi communicated with Tom in English, Ke Zhanchi truly understood how the public judged this movie!

Those viewers who had watched the original version of "Paging 1988" actually thought that this "Paging 1988" was a new movie!

A new movie with the same actors and the same clips, but a different plot!

That's right...

They couldn't understand the plot at all. They relied entirely on the actors' performance and then made up the plot in their minds!

What's outrageous is that even in the back row, some audiences argued about the plot of the movie!

Some people said that the plot is about this...

And some people said that the plot is about that...

It is obviously a youth art film, and some people even think it is a suspense film...

They fully explained what it means that there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people...

Then...

The movie ended.

The audience left one by one.

Although several directors from China were a little confused, they also started to discuss!

Ke Zhanchi looked at these confused directors and felt bad.

The reason why these directors came here is not because they are very good, nor because they make good movies...

Zhang has a very low-level "telephone fraud" screening method, screening some small directors who are obsessed with film art, or unknown, or those young people who are not very smart but have money and dreams. Of course, there are also some "leek directors" who pursue vanity and dream of winning awards on the international stage!

Yes!

Although Zhang Sheng said this [Southern California International Film Awards] in a high-sounding manner in the recording, talking about art and high-end, in fact, it is not the quality of the film itself that is screened, but the director!

He even suspected that Zhang Sheng and Qi Yufu had colluded in advance and even screened some audiences.

Specially screening those idiots who are uneducated, have bad brains, are very interested in movies, and like to join in the fun?

The more Ke Zhan Chi thought about it, the more absurd it seemed to him. Then, he felt helpless!

You say this is a scam?

But he set up a stage and followed some formal procedures.

It is an international film festival, and the films participating in the festival have indeed been approved!

But you say it is not a scam?

Damn!

It is like an extremely absurd farce.

There are routines everywhere, and even Ke Zhan Chi felt that he was also in the routine and brainwashed!

Wait!

Brainwashing!

Could Zhang Sheng's voice be used specifically for brainwashing?

As one of the few rational directors in the entire project, Ke Zhan Chi felt more and more complicated the more he thought about it after sorting out the context of all this!

So...

In this case, how did my copyright of "That Summer" get sold?

Just when Ke Zhan Chi was puzzled...

Ke Zhan Chi saw a group of foreigners in suits coming from a distance.

They walked towards the crew of "Paging 1988" with their big bellies exposed.

This group of people...

It seems that they are led by Leo John, followed by Meng Shurong from [Oubang Integrated] ceiling.

When he was in a daze, he saw Qi Yufu, who had finally finished the sound system, coming over and telling him.

"He is the one who bought your copyright!"

"Huh?"

…………………………

Under the lights.

The screening room after the show was a little empty.

Gao Hui saw a few people coming over, and the fat man in the lead spoke fluent Portuguese that he couldn't understand.

After the translator next to him translated it, he figured out what these people were doing here!

This group of people!

They actually saw the movie "Paging 1988" and thought it was interesting, so they came to buy the copyright!

This fat man is called Daven...

He is the local tycoon here and a good friend of Leo John.

Although he is not a famous tycoon in Brazil, he also has several pretty good movie theaters...

"Buy my movie copyright? What are you doing..."

"Collect?"

Gao Hui became excited when he heard the word "collect"!

Daven continued to talk.

"Mr. Dai Wen meant that although we don't know what story your movie "Paging 1988" tells, the judges said that the film has a high artistic value. He asked the audience today and they all thought it was very exciting, so he planned to spend 20,000 US dollars to buy it and keep it for later..." The translator translated these words to Gao Hui carefully.

Gao Hui was so excited!

He nodded quickly and said that he was honored to be appreciated by Mr. Dai Wen and thanked the judges for recommending this movie...

Then...

Gao Hui and director Chen Bin signed a contract with Dai Wen on the spot.

After signing the contract, Gao Hui and Chen Bin received 20,000 US dollars in cash.

Although this money is not much for them, they are all rich second-generations, but this feeling of being recognized is a rare experience in this life.

"Director Ke..."

After getting the money, he saw Ke Zhan Chi coming over with a sullen face.

He greeted Ke Zhan Chi.

Although [Shengshi Entertainment] and [Xingguang Future] have a series of grudges...

But the directors are not so stiff in private...

In a sense, Ke Zhanchi is also a very famous director in the circle, so Chen Bin and Gao Hui are very happy to get to know Ke Zhanchi.

Ke Zhanchi also nodded at them, and after a simple greeting, he chatted with Daven and others...

After the chat...

Ke Zhanchi finally understood why he sold the copyright of "That Summer".

Leo John, the local tyrant, helped in it...

In order to make the film awards not too ugly, he specially invited his rich friends who are cinema chains to buy the film!

As long as the judges Tom and others said that the film was very artistic, they would buy it and put it in the cinema chain for friendly screening, or collect it.

Knowing the truth, Ke Zhanchi was just disappointed.

He then walked out of the screening room.

But after walking out of the screening room...

He saw that many tourists from China suddenly poured in outside the house.

It seems that...

[Southern California International Film Awards] is very popular in China!

Then, in a subtle way, it really attracted a wave of tourists from China to come and see the "International Film Exhibition"...

When Leo John saw this scene, his eyes were all smiling!

He quickly called his men to go and greet the group of customers...

This is a big surprise!

Tourists!

It is equivalent to an extra income!

More than an hour later...

Excited Leo John returned home.

Then...

His phone rang.

The voice on the phone made him very familiar!

This is a man from China, who he has never met, but is the operator of everything.

He was very curious about this operator and wanted to know who this person is. He even invited the other party to come and chat.

But the other party said that he had something to do in China and couldn't come.

This time...

The other party gave Leo John some suggestions on the phone...

After hearing these suggestions, he stared, and his eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened!
