Chapter 1727: Chapter 839: Closing Ceremony_3

But now Zhou Lan increasingly realizes that her current job is not about guarding territory, but expanding it. She needs to cultivate more people to expand the territory with her.

Zhou Lan has been meeting people for a whole week.

Some of them she met in her office, some at the dining table, some at cocktail parties, and others during breaks between work.

Everyone came with their company’s films to discuss overseas distribution with Zhou Lan.

"Treasure" has already proven that Zhou Lan has such resources, especially since many of them have another purpose. They have some art films and artistic films and want to see if they can enter the competition track of the Three Major European Film Festivals through Zhou Yun’s channels.

What Mr. Carlo said to Zhou Yun was heard by many people via video.

Zhou Lan received about fifty films in one go, including more than a dozen that have yet to be publicly screened.

She then directed her attention to the Script Selection Team.

The Script Selection Team in the studio specializes in reading scripts, and Zhou Lan feels that they can now develop a new business.

...

The studio’s business is prosperous.

Zhou Yun found that the work emails she received increased.

Zhou Lan almost daily asks the secretary to organize a list of today’s key work progress at the studio to be sent to Zhou Yun.

There’s not much she needs to decide on, but she needs to be aware of everything.

After Zhou Yun left, the Berlin Film Festival continued bustlingly.

Each day, new film screenings sparked discussions among the audience, and new celebrity schedules were chased by the media.

Zhou Yun is also paying attention, mainly because Song Chi and Ning Yao are there.

"Cigarette" received quite positive reviews in Berlin. Song Chi appeared on the premiere red carpet of the competing films daily, becoming one of the actors with the most appearances.

He has many friends; everyone wants to invite him.

Finally, as the Berlin Film Festival was about to end, it was time for "Mortal Realm" to be screened.

This major work is finally about to meet the audience.

Zhou Yun, exhausted after a day of filming, sat in the car ready to go back. She took out her phone, opened Weibo, and the bloggers she follows were all talking about "Mortal Realm" and Ning Yao.

At a glance, the reviews for "Mortal Realm" were very high.

People praised the film for its lively combination of reality and fantasy.

From the audience’s reaction, Ning Yao contributed one of her best performances ever in this film, captivating the heart and soul.

The praise for Ning Yao was abundant, with some calling her a strong contender for Best Actress at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

A seed player.

At that moment, Zhou Yun was amazed, exclaiming, "Wow!"

When Ning Yao first took on Kim Bingde’s "Mortal Realm," people said perhaps Ning Yao could win a Best Actress award at one of the Three Major European Film Festivals through this film.

At that time, no one knew what role Ning Yao would play, nor did they know whether Kim Bingde’s film would be shot primarily around Ning Yao.

But because they believed in Ning Yao’s acting skills, and Kim Bingde’s directorial talent, such voices arose back then.

Ning Yao has always been a representative actress known for her skills domestically.

She has won many awards in China, but internationally she still lacks a representative award.

When some media do reviews, it’s often remarked that due to this shortcoming, Ning Yao lacks international influence.

Zhou Yun often feels helpless herself.

Ning Yao is already a top-tier actress in China, yet still picks up criticism.

Zhou Yun hopes that Ning Yao can win this award.

Even though she hasn’t watched "Mortal Realm" yet.

Meeting Kim Bingde in Berlin left Zhou Yun with quite a good impression.

A very passionate director, emotions always displayed on his face.

Zhou Yun sent a message to Ning Yao, congratulating her on the new film’s great reception and expressing anticipation for its domestic release, planning to support her in person.

Ning Yao replied, saying: "Sure, sure, when do you finish ’Killing Song’ and return home, we’ll meet up domestically."

Zhou Yun’s "Killing Song" is about to wrap up soon.

The film’s been shooting so long; at this point, everyone is a bit tired.

Especially Zhou Yun, battered and bruised, seemingly close to falling apart.

She’s never complained, but the exhaustion is real.

However, as the wrap-up day approaches, Zhou Yun also starts feeling reluctant to part with this group of young colleagues.

She’s rarely worked with so many young actors in one film; they often eat, drink, or play together after work. This feeling is wonderful.

Today, the Berlin Film Festival’s closing ceremony is to be held.
