He never dreamed that Anthony and Charlotte Celie could come together.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, I am no longer the chairman of the Berlin International Film Festival. I am glad to see you again. I have learned English well recently!"
"Well, I made you laugh."
Charlotte Celie is the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit of the 56th Berlin International Film Festival.
Zhou Yang is filled with gratitude deep in his heart for this chairman.
The movie "Mineral Bottom" was able to win awards and sell so many copyrights overseas, and Charlotte Celie was a big help.
He has always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Charlotte Celie, but Charlotte Celie seems to be particularly pure about movies and has no interest in any material things. The reason why "Mineral Bottom" is recommended everywhere is
Because this movie was real to the core, she felt a touch of touch from her soul.
I didn’t expect that the surprise Roddy was talking about was this!
"Progress is a good thing, how can it be a joke..." Charlotte Saili knew that this was the modesty of the Chinese people, and she smiled.
Afterwards, the two talked about some things about "Mineral Bottom" and also talked about the movie "The Crow".
Charlotte Celie doesn't have any airs. While she admired Zhou Yang's performance in "The Crow", she also expressed her regret that "The Crow" was screened in Cannes.
His eyes couldn't hide his admiration for Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang found that chatting with Charlotte Saili was very easy, as if he was talking to an elder, without any discomfort.
The initial nervousness disappeared completely during the chat...
"Mr. Zhou Yang, Mr. Roddy admires your script very much..." Anthony looked at this naive Chinese and laughed, interrupting the chat between the two.
"Ah, okay, this is my English script..." Zhou Yang subconsciously handed over the script with both hands.
"good!"
……………………
In the office.
Zhou Yang, Charlotte Celie and others were chatting and reading the script.
At the recruitment point outside the office, Roddy showed a forced smile and was somewhat impatient to entertain this Chinese director who he was not familiar with and had met a few times at most.
He was not interested in the gift from the Chinese director and just maintained the most basic courtesy.
He originally thought that the Chinese director came to visit him, and then left after saying a few words, but unexpectedly, the Chinese director did not seem to realize that he was not welcome, but kept talking about this and that, as if he was having a conversation.
There are endless topics to talk about, and I keep talking about all kinds of things that I have nothing to say...
And he kept asking about various news about the movie "Saw", especially the director of the movie and Roddy's relationship with "Saw".
Roddy was becoming more and more impatient.
Roddy felt that this Chinese director seemed to have ulterior motives. He was very disgusted with people who asked questions and inquired into other people's privacy...
He only said that he was only the assistant director of the movie "Chainsaw". As for who the director was, he did not mention anything. At the same time, he only answered Charlotte Celie and Anthony's questions about the movie "Chainsaw".
"Shock" was quite interested. After basically saying this, he stopped talking, and even the smile he had at the beginning was gone.
After seeing that Roddy was really ignoring him, Zhao Sicheng finally realized that continuing to talk about it would only make it more embarrassing...
But now I feel a little unwilling to leave him like this.
Thinking of seeing the news about the crew of "Lamb" in the news a few days ago, Zhao Sicheng's uneasy premonition suddenly became stronger.
Could it be that the Chinese director they are talking about is Zhou Yang?
impossible!
Zhou Yang is not a big director in the Chinese director circle, and he is not well-known internationally. How could he be so taken seriously after coming to Hollywood, and how could Roddy be willing to serve as Zhou Yang's assistant director?
What a nonsense!
It's really too nonsense.
After thinking about it, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the office in the distance.
How could people like Charlotte Celie and Anthony come into contact with a young director like Zhou Yang and have a chat for such a long time?
"Then I won't delay your work..."
"OK."
Zhao Sicheng finally suppressed the messy thoughts, then stood up and prepared to leave.
Rody also nodded and continued to look at some resumes without looking at Zhao Sicheng. He no longer maintained even the most basic courtesy.
At this moment, Zhao Sicheng saw the door of the office in the distance open.
Zhao Sicheng's childish eyes shrank!
He saw a familiar figure coming out.
That figure was between Charlotte Celie and Anthony, and they seemed to be having a great time chatting. But when they got closer, the person's plastic English was so embarrassing that it almost made people sick.
Zhou Yang!
That person is really Zhou Yang!
Zhao Sicheng trembled slightly deep in his heart.
"Hello, Director Zhou!" Although his heart was full of shock, he still greeted him with a smile on his face: "Ms. Charlotte Saili, I didn't expect that the Chinese director you mentioned was Mr. Zhou Yang...
…”
Zhou Yang saw Zhao Sicheng's smile.
He did not smile, but looked at Zhao Sicheng inexplicably: "Hello, may I ask who you are..."
Zhao Sicheng's bright smile suddenly stiffened, and his facial muscles twitched slightly, but then his smile became even brighter: "Director Zhou, you are such a noble person who forgets things. I am Zhao Sicheng. We have met before and talked about it.
God..."
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhao Sicheng's smile, then nodded subconsciously and smiled: "Oh, hello, Director Zhao, why are you here today?"
"I came over today to visit Mr. Roddy from "Lambs" and also to see you. I heard that you are also filming a movie in Hollywood, so I came over to have a look." Although Zhao Sicheng wanted to tear Zhou Yang into pieces in his heart, but on the surface
But his smile became more friendly, and he walked over and shook Zhou Yang's hand like an elder: "Director Zhou, is "Saw" your movie?"
"Yes." Zhou Yang smiled happily.
"Oh, congratulations. I didn't even know you were making movies in Hollywood, haha..." After it was confirmed that "Saw" was directed by Zhou Yang, Zhao Sicheng's muscles twitched slightly but he smiled even more.
Enthusiastic.
"Same joy, same joy..." Zhou Yang also laughed naively: "I heard that Director Zhao, your new movie will be released soon. I hope it will be a big hit at the box office!"
Although Zhou Yang was also laughing, there were waves of nausea deep in his heart, and he felt like vomiting.
He felt that he was becoming more and more hypocritical...
Obviously I hated this person very much, but unknowingly, I started laughing along with him.
We are all Chinese, and no matter how annoying he is, Zhou Yang will not embarrass him too much on the spot.
"Haha, yes, we are going to move around more in the future. Well, I won't delay you in filming the movie. I'll leave first."
"Okay, keep in touch." Zhou Yang nodded, but put away the false smile that made him sick to the point of vomiting.
(Without the guidance of Wang Shuai and Director Zhou, without Zhou Yilin, Director Zhou is running around in Berlin to help you, and in order to support you at the critical moment, if you sacrifice your qualifications, do you really think that what you shot by a grassroots team will be able to
Shortlisted for Berlin, can win China’s first Berlin award)
(Young people will always see themselves standing on the high ground, and never know who made you stand high!)
Suddenly, an image emerged in his mind of Zhao Sicheng speaking this sentence arrogantly like a senior at a meeting of relevant departments.
Although it is possible and does make sense in some aspects, there is still a trace of anger deep in his heart.
Zhao Sicheng smiled and greeted everyone one by one. After saying hello, he turned and left with the same smile.
but……
As he got into the car, his smile suddenly darkened.
The car started.
He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why Zhou Yang would hook up with Charlotte Saili and Roddy, and these people seemed to be very optimistic about Zhou Yang.
The more he thought about it, the more he became gloomy. He felt that his chest was clogged and uncomfortable, and he felt like he wanted to shout but couldn't.
"Director Zhao, do we still want to visit the next director?"
"Forget it, let's do this for today."
"oh!"
"By the way, I want all the information on the movie "Saw". You can help me collect it in the past two days."
"good!"
……………………
The appearance of Zhao Sicheng made Zhou Yang feel sick.
As if unconsciously, he found that he seemed to have become a bit strange.
I obviously hate this person very much, but I have to pretend that I know him and there is no conflict between the two parties.
This is a hypocritical feeling.
He once fell into a stage of self-reflection. What should he do if he met Zhao Sicheng in the same situation again...
However, no matter what he thought, the final answer he got was that this method of handling was the best.
Of course, he could pretend not to know him, or even look at Zhao Sicheng blankly, making Zhao Sicheng look like a clown, embarrassing himself in public.
However, in China, he represents that it doesn’t matter how he quarrels, while overseas, they represent the group of Chinese directors...
Everyone knows whether personal emotions are more important than the country's reputation.
Although I felt disgusted by my own hypocrisy, this emotion only lasted for a moment and was replaced by another emotion of shock.
"ah?"
"Chairman Charlotte Celie, are you also interested in the script of "Saw" and want to make a cameo in it?"
"But, my salary for "Saw" is very limited..."
"It doesn't matter?"
"..."
Zhou Yang never dreamed that there would be so many surprises today...
A person of Charlotte Seri's caliber actually wants to play a guest role in her own "Saw"!
Given Charlotte Celie’s influence in the international film industry, shouldn’t the copyright for “Saw” be sold out?
