    The next day, the media from various countries reserved the largest space for Tong Lixi, publishing a large photo of her, and not just one, but a group of photos. Not only that, she was also the headline of the daily report section of the Berlin Film Festival's official website.  large photo.  Major domestic portals also published large photos of her. Her pure and moving image immediately conquered countless netizens and became the goddess in the hearts of countless netizens.  The most direct impact of this is that when Tong Lixi stayed at the booth, people came to her from time to time to sign autographs and take photos.  Of course, major newspapers have not forgotten the movie itself. At the press conference after the premiere, reporters all expressed their love for the movie, and subsequent articles published were full of praise.  Germany's "Neue Deutsche Zeitung": "The most admirable thing about "The Two of Us" is that the plots that will happen as a matter of course and do not need to be explained are simply skipped. The whole movie is simple and concise, without the slightest delay!" American "Variety Show"  ": "The director's technique of the film is as simple as the structure of the film. There are no bells and whistles. The narratives and dialogues are one after another. From fighting each other with distrust to being like a family naturally, the relationship occurs, grows and matures with the four seasons.  , disappeared, leaving sadness in the end. However, it is this simplicity that has shed all the complex external packages, and is as clear as a relief, making it unforgettable. " French "Le Figaro": ""The Two of Us" is.  A female film that resists grand narratives, and is also a film that describes ordinary women. This old house is the complete world of two women. They bargain over the rent, secretly fight over the phone bill, and argue over the wall paintings. Please have a New Year.  Dinner, making short films, and moving houses are nothing in the male world, but they have become the most important part of the lives of two women. The artistic tension formed between the extreme simplicity of this character and the extreme tediousness of the details makes  People were shocked. "In contrast to the praise received by "The Two of Us," the movie "Into the Wild" that was released during prime time in the evening was criticized by the media, and Ron Howard was disgraced.  As a result, "The Two of Us" received even greater attention. Not only were the tickets for the afternoon audience sold out, but foreign film companies also came to seek the distribution rights of this film.  The first person to come to the door was Sony Classics, a subsidiary of Columbia Corporation that specializes in the distribution of foreign language films.  They have been responsible for the distribution of many Chinese-language films, including many films by Zhang Yimou and Wong Kar-wai. They also distributed Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and their distribution capabilities are quite strong.  Sony Classics planned to buy out the distribution rights in all regions except China for US$800,000, but Cheng Peng was a little hesitant. If he sold it at this price, he would not lose money and could earn more than 1 million, but the budget for the new film would be  It's very problematic because his expectation for the movie rights is about US$1.3 million.  But if it doesn¡¯t sell, there may not be this store in this village. Of course, if you can win an award, the situation will definitely be different, but no one can guarantee that you will win the award, not even Li An dares to say that he is certain.  Can win prizes.  After a short weighing, Cheng Peng still refused. He decided to wait, not until after the awards, but just to wait for the scores in the afternoon program.  The program magazine is a publication specially released during the annual film festival. It is given away for free in the film palace and can be read for free on the official website.  In addition to the introduction of the film, the content of the program also includes the publication's ratings of all the participating films screened the previous day.  The scoring of the program is carried out by the jury of the program. These people are media reporters and film critics found by the program around the world.  The ratings of the venue are based on a 4-point scale, with four stars being perfect, three stars being good, two stars being average, one star being bad, and a cross being terrible.  The program is open and transparent, all scores of everyone are made public, and the final score of each movie is the average score of everyone.  The program represents the opinions of the media and the audience, and does not represent the opinions of the film festival judges. High scores may not necessarily lead to awards, but getting high scores in the program means that the film is more popular with the audience. For film producers,  It is a good indicator and it will be relatively easy to sell films.  Of course, the business that needs to be discussed still needs to be discussed, and the business that needs to be traded still needs to be traded, because in some countries, even if they win prizes, the price will not change much.  Cheng Peng stood up, smiled and extended his hand to the middle-aged man in front of him: "That's it, we have a deal." "I am very happy to get the distribution rights of this movie. I think the audience will like it." Middle-aged  The man stood up, smiled and shook hands with Cheng Peng.  The man is the owner of a film company in New Zealand. The company is very small, and the price offered is also very low, only 6,000 US dollars. However, Cheng Peng still sold it because there are no companies in a country like New Zealand that come to the film festival. If you don¡¯t sell it to him,  Just can't sell it.  It is difficult to sell Chinese-language films, and it is even harder to sell them at high prices. Feng Xiaogang once said the truth: "Wang ZhongleiThe foreign distribution staff who came here told me that we were going to Cannes to sell the film. The entire budget was 1 million yuan. The front and back covers of the last Cannes journal cost another 50,000 euros, and putting up a poster cost several tens of thousands of euros.  Then I asked him, how much can we sell the copyright? He replied, Russia is US$15,000, New Zealand is US$3,000, and maybe ten countries combined can¡¯t even sell a cover for the same amount.  " New Zealand can sell it for 6,000 US dollars. Cheng Peng is already very satisfied. It is 3,000 US dollars more than Feng Xiaogang! After that, some small companies came to the door one after another, but the prices offered by these companies were relatively low. Basically,  It was a few thousand dollars. Although the price was not very high, Zhao Linlin stood in front of the booth with a smile and talked with the film producers in fluent English. Cheng Peng was busy explaining the content of the film until noon.  The copyrights of six countries are basically owned by small countries like New Zealand. The total amount is less than 50,000 US dollars, which is really pitiful. Of course, it is not that there are no film producers from big countries like the United States and France to inquire, but the price is on the low side.  Cheng Peng didn't agree in a hurry, and planned to wait until the score of the venue came out. Although the sales price was not much, it was still open. Everyone was in a good mood and decided to go out and have a good meal at the movie palace.  I found a restaurant nearby that looked a bit older. There was a metal sign hanging at the door, which said the glorious history of the restaurant. It looked like it should be good. We walked into the restaurant, found a seat, each ordered a set meal, and started eating.  After eating for a while, Tong Lixi asked: "How many points do you think our movie can get? Can it get 3 points?  " Zhang Meng shook his head and said: "It's too difficult. There are basically only one or two movies that can get 3 points in each film festival. I think it's about 2.4!  " The highest score now is the Argentinian film "Lost Embrace" with 2.6 points, followed by "Before Sunset" with 2.4. If "The Two of Us" can get 2.4, it will be ranked second. No. Cheng Pengbi  Zhang Meng is confident: "I am confident in my movie, I think it can get a 2.8.  " Zhao Linlin smiled and said: "You are really confident. If you get 2.8, it will surpass "Lost Embrace" and rank first. Even if all the movies are released, this score will still rank in the top three.  Cheng Peng said: "My original estimate was similar to Zhang Meng's, but the media's evaluation is really good. Now my confidence is a bit overwhelming. I will know the result in the afternoon. I am really looking forward to it now!"  " Tong Lixi said confidently: "I'm also looking forward to it, but I know the score must be very high!  " After lunch, Cheng Peng and the others slowly returned to the exhibition center. As soon as they reached the China area, Tong Lixi shouted in surprise: "What's going on? Look at our booth, there are so many people!  " Cheng Peng and the other three took a look. Sure enough, there were a bunch of reporters standing in front of the booth, carrying cameras and microphones. They surrounded the booth. Cheng Peng's first reaction was that he had gone to the wrong place. Look around.  After a moment, it was yes, it was the booth of "The Two of Us", and the booth of "Baby in Love" was right next to it. What was going on? Zhang Meng and Zhao Linlin were also stunned. Why did so many people suddenly appear?  Come on, something happened, right? The four of them looked at each other blankly, wondering what was going on. At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted "He is there" in front of the booth.  The group of reporters were like hungry wolves, shouting and rushing towards Cheng Peng and the others. In the blink of an eye, Cheng Peng was surrounded by people and a circle of microphones was placed in front of him. He was stunned.  I just went out to have a meal, and I didn¡¯t cause any trouble! The reporters around me were asking questions like a barrage of questions: "Mr. Cheng Peng, you got a high score, what do you want to say?"  " "What is the highest score?  "Cheng Peng didn't react for a while. "In terms of the venue score, "The Two of Us" is now ranked first, didn't you know?  " Cheng Peng always thought that the scores for the venue magazine would only come out in the afternoon. He hadn't read it when he came back just now. With so many reporters flocking to it, it must be a very high score, so he asked: "Girls and gentlemen, I haven't read it yet.  Show notes, can anyone tell me what the score of our movie is?  "A reporter with an excited face replied loudly: "3.3 points, now ranked first." Tong Lixi and the others cheered, and Cheng Peng also laughed. 3.3 is a very high score, and it is probably the highest score in this film festival.  Got it!
