Chapter 245: Stealing Talent From the Berlin Film Festival!

The red carpet of the Berlin International Film Festival is not long.

It is only about ten meters long, which can be said to be the most low-key place among the three major film festivals.

In addition to the creators of the opening film who will walk on the red carpet as scheduled, German local stars account for nearly 80%, so the screams of the onlookers often puzzle many foreign media.

The red carpet of about ten meters has an amazing temptation for many stars from overseas.

The women who compete for beauty, take great pains to show their skin that makes people straighten their eyes, pose in various coquettish ways, wander under the spotlight, and enjoy world-class vanity. Especially for third-tier artists, the red carpet is a direct train to the headlines, so countless people stay on the red carpet like crazy, eager for every media present to take their beautiful photos.

Tom is everywhere on the red carpet.

But the popularity...

It is gradually not as hot as when he first came to Berlin.

He was unwilling to pose in various postures, walked around the edge of the red carpet, eager to walk on the red carpet, and then waved his hands like many upper-class people.

But unfortunately...

He was not an invited guest, but just an audience member who bought a ticket.

Audiences have a special channel that allows you to enter the venue, but you can't walk on the red carpet like many creative teams.

After a short stay...

Tom could only stand at the door of the Berlin Film Festival and let the photographer take a slightly authoritative photo of him and send it to China.

He looked at the gate in the distance.

He looked at the hustle and bustle, the brilliance and the attention, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

He was in a corner where no one cared, his eyes were red.

His mind was full of thoughts about what Zhang Sheng would do at this moment, and how he would use this film festival to get something...

He found that his brain was very poor, and the more he thought, the more he felt that his head was blocked.

Apart from the initial low-level propaganda methods, he found that he couldn't think of anything at all.

The time for the Berlin International Film Festival Awards Ceremony was getting closer and closer.

The main creative teams walked into the venue one by one, and there were fewer movies on the red carpet.

But the entrance was still crowded, but the enthusiasm was less.

Tom finally saw Zhang Sheng!

He stared at Zhang Sheng.

He found that Zhang Sheng did not follow Avery Zashi or "The Dog Over the Mountain".

He saw a tall French girl who was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her.

He swallowed his saliva and felt his breathing become heavy.

Even in Berlin, where many beauties compete for beauty, the girl was still dazzling.

Then he saw a familiar figure, and his brief surprise turned into astonishment, and then he became gloomy.

That was Lacey!

His former friend in Brazil!

Tom began to get angry, his hands were shaking constantly, as if he saw a betrayer.

Lacey!

She should have followed him!

But!

He chose to follow an outsider!

Jealousy arose spontaneously, making him gradually forget what he wanted to observe about Zhang Sheng.

All he could think about was finding an opportunity to scold Lacey, the "traitor".

…………………………

Zhang Sheng was walking in the bustling Berlin, looking at the diamond necklaces on the necks of the female stars...

Elaine next to him couldn't help but envy...

She told Zhang Sheng that it was the top French brand [Louis], and the value of a necklace worn on the neck was tens of millions of RMB.

She introduced the luxury brands she knew to Zhang Sheng, and pointed to those sponsors who participated in the Berlin International Film Festival...

She even said that she would buy a necklace after [Cerlu] stabilized and made money, of course, not tens of millions, but hundreds of thousands of entry-level.

"Vanity is a weakness of human nature. Many brands just hit the weaknesses of human nature hard, and then use desire marketing..."

"I know the truth, but people all over the world are chasing them and know their value!"

Elaine watched the red carpet end excitedly.

After listening to Zhang Sheng's words, she nodded, but still couldn't suppress her longing and yearning in her heart.

Zhang Sheng did not respond, but squinted his eyes and looked at the luxury brands in the distance for a long time.

It was six o'clock in the evening.

There was only one hour left before the awards ceremony.

There were finally not many people on the red carpet at the door.

Zhang Sheng walked in with Elaine.

Behind...

followed by the timid Lacey.

A few months ago, he thought that the [Southern California International Film Awards] was the most prosperous award he had ever seen in his life.

But after coming to Berlin, he realized that he was like a frog sitting at the bottom of a well.

He has been learning Chinese and English recently.

Learning has broadened his horizons and his cognition has gradually changed.

This time in Berlin, he felt subverted again!

Reading thousands of books, traveling thousands of miles.

The growth of a person...

is to gradually accumulate knowledge, insights, and thinking, and then suddenly become clear at a certain moment.

They walked into the hall.

After Zhang Sheng arranged for Lacey to sit down, his eyes turned to Elaine.

"Elaine..."

"What's wrong? Zhang Sheng? What is this..."

Elaine stared blankly at Zhang Sheng taking out a notebook from his arms and handed it to Elaine.

Under the light.

Elaine looked at the notebook filled with names and works.

Most of them are the film production teams participating in the Berlin International Film Festival.

"Please remember the names of the following directors..."

"Ah?"

"After the party, you should contact these directors!"

"I have contacted these directors, but they don't want to sell the copyright..."

"No, contact them again, and I will help you pave the way."

"Okay!"

Elian took Zhang Sheng's notebook and looked at the names that Zhang Sheng had marked.

Then...

But Zhang Sheng stood up.

"Zhang Sheng, where are you going?"

"I am building connections!"

"Ah?"

………………………………

The award ceremony started soon.

The stage was full of noise and enthusiasm.

Under the stage, Zhang Sheng did not return to his seat.

Elian looked at the crowded seats.

But Zhang Sheng was sitting next to the production team of a film called "The Believer", chatting with an American youth.

The American youth seemed to be wary of Zhang Sheng at first, but then, Elaine didn't know what Zhang Sheng said, and the youth invited Zhang Sheng to sit in the empty seat next to him.

On the stage...

A performance ended.

Then, he said a series of things.

Finally, the first award was announced.

The first award was the Silver Bear Award of the Short Film Jury.

The applause in the venue made Elaine's eardrums buzz.

After looking at the winners on the stage, Elaine looked at Zhang Sheng again.

Zhang Sheng was chatting with the American youth, and he was so excited that the director next to him seemed to frown.

Elaine was very curious about what Zhang Sheng and the American youth were talking about.

After the first short film unit award ceremony, the short film unit Golden Bear Award followed.

The scene was more lively than before!

There were waves of excited cheers from the back, and a young man who looked like a college student held the trophy, kissed it, and waved it!

After watching for a while, Elaine turned her head to look at Zhang Sheng again.

Zhang Sheng disappeared to the place just now...

After searching for a long time, Elaine found that Zhang Sheng was sitting in another corner with few people.

That seemed to be the position of the unsuccessful short film competitor.

He was chatting with a German girl...

They seemed to be familiar with each other before. The tall and thin girl, who had a somewhat depressed expression, began to smile gradually under Zhang Sheng's encouragement.

What was Zhang Sheng doing?

When Elaine was at a loss, she saw Zhang Sheng walking over with the girl, and then...

"Hello, Miss Elaine, this is Miss Fendi, the director of the short film "Thriller Night"..."

"Hello, Miss Fendi?"

"Hello, Miss Elaine!"

After the two got to know each other, the tall and thin German female director naturally started chatting with Elaine.

"Miss Elaine, I heard Mr. Zhang Sheng say that our [Cerule] Cinema in France has a short film theater? Also, in China, we have our own video website, and it can make money, right?"

"Ah?"

Elaine looked at the freckles on Fendi's face and was briefly confused.

She is not good at lying.

But after seeing Zhang Sheng's eyes, she nodded subconsciously.

"That's great, can my "Thriller Night" be played at your place?"

"Yes, it can be, but we are renovating..."

"We can wait... We heard that Mr. Zhang Sheng also has a cinema in Brazil, is this true?"

"Ah..."

Elaine has never met a short film director.

Short films are really hard to make money, so Elaine has never taken the initiative to look for a short film unit these days.

And looking at Fendi's appearance, it is estimated that he is a college student who just graduated from college and was lucky enough to be shortlisted for the Berlin Short Film Unit.

Then, as expected, he was not selected.

The series of things that Director Fendi said made Elaine confused and didn't know how to deal with it. She finally looked at Zhang Sheng.

Then...

She found that Zhang Shengren had left.

He seemed to have gone to chat about a documentary on the other side.

This time, he was chatting with a dark-skinned Frenchman. The name of the documentary was "The Poor".

He didn't seem to be a director...

He seemed to be a photographer?

Then...

He heard the sound of awards on the stage.

The film awarded was a documentary award.

In a trance...

She heard the sound of "The Poor" being rejected.

Then...

She saw the tall Frenchman stand up.

Walked towards her.

Elaine looked at Fendi, who was sitting next to her and watching the award ceremony in a trance, and then looked at the Frenchman who was walking over with his head down.

Will Zhang Sheng let [Cerlu] sign another documentary?

They [Cerlu] is a movie theater...

Not a place to show documentaries!

She took a deep breath.

Then...

She saw the Frenchman smiling.

"Hello, Miss Elaine, I heard from Mr. Zhang Sheng that we are looking for a world-class documentary?"

"???"
