Gu Xihuai said: "Speaking of which, I haven't worked with Director Cen Wangnian before! If there is a chance, I should cooperate once."

As a sad rookie who has been out for six or seven years, aiming to win awards but accompany him every time, Gu Xihuai's dedication to trophies is understandable.

Wen Zhuoyu thought for a while: "In the future, everyone will work in the same company, and there will be opportunities for cooperation."

"Let's think about what to do next!"

The water city in August is sunny and picturesque.

Wen Zhuoyu brought Gu Xihuai and the main creative staff of the "Xiusheng" crew to the pre-booked hotel two days in advance, and then left the crew and went out with Gu Xihuai for two days alone. On the morning of the opening ceremony of the Golden Lion Film Festival, returned to the hotel.

Director Cen Wangnian told Wen Zhuoyu that the crew of "Embroidered Life" had already arranged interviews with several foreign media, and asked Wen Zhuoyu, the actor, to cooperate with the promotion. Of course Wen Zhuoyu would not object. After recording a few interviews, it was almost night.

The film festival officially opened. The main venue is at the Film Palace, and the opening movie is called "The Starry Night", which is a new work by an international director. The screening time of "Embroidered Life" was on the third day of the opening ceremony, and there were three shows in total. It can be seen that the organizer's treatment for "Xiusheng" is still very good, which is probably because of director Cen Wangnian's face. After all, director Cen Wangnian is also a fierce man who has won the Golden Lion Award for Best Director.

Compared with the heaviness or tenderness of other participating films, "Embroidered Life" obviously has a very attractive advantage in terms of narrative rhythm. The plot is lively, the rhythm is tight, the characters are vivid, and it accurately reflects the historical changes of the country and the individual in the great era. At the end of the film, the hero Xiusheng suddenly woke up from a big dream, and the ending of finally reaching a reconciliation with his father also seemed so meaningful.

All in all, this is a very watchable movie. So much so that the three movies that the organizers have put out for "Xiusheng" have reached the miracle of being full. This phenomenon is very rare for the Golden Lion Awards.

Cen Wangnian was very excited when he saw this, and took this data to negotiate with overseas issuers. Wen Zhuoyu is obviously a layman in this regard. Wen Zhuoyu had never been in contact with this field in his last life, and Wen Zhuoyu didn't understand anything. Considering that the film and television production company he established with Gu Xihuai might have to cooperate with overseas distributors one day, Wen Zhuoyu and Gu Xihuai simply followed behind Cen Wangnian. Participated in the whole negotiation.

"Including the overseas distribution, "Embroidered Life" can make at least ten or twenty million!" A few days later, Director Cen pressed the calculator, and said happily to Wen Zhuoyu: "Fortunately, it is not disgraceful. Now waiting for the closing ceremony."

Chapter 83

The closing ceremony of the Golden Lion Awards will be held eleven days later. On the day of the closing ceremony, the whole city was boiling, and the eyes of the whole world who like film art were focused on this, the stars were shining and the magnesium was shining. Under the camera, it seems that even the red carpet is more colorful than usual... just a little shorter.

When Wen Zhuoyu was walking on the red carpet, he thought secretly. This is the first time that Wen Zhuoyu has walked the red carpet of a foreign film festival in his two lifetimes, or with Gu Xihuai (the rest of the crew of "Xiusheng" was subconsciously blocked by Wen Zhuoyu), surrounded by unfamiliar faces, walking the red carpet The atmosphere was equally hot. Let Wen Zhuoyu have a very strange illusion, as if he had traveled through again.

Gu Xihuai's mood was also very agitated, because this was also the first time he walked the red carpet of an international film festival - although it was against Wen Zhuoyu, Gu Xihuai felt honored. He just wondered when he could bring his works, and then invited Wen Zhuoyu to accompany him on the red carpet.

The two were thinking about it at the same time, and when they came back to their senses, the awards ceremony had already begun. The host was chatting while standing on the stage, but Wen Zhuoyu didn't quite understand what he was talking about. He saw people from various production crews coming to the stage to accept the award like a lantern. sleepy.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a sudden voice from the stage: "Best Newcomer Actor, WENZHUOYU, "Embroidered Life"."

Wen Zhuoyu was shocked, and Director Cen Wangnian, who was sitting next to him, kept pushing him: "It's you! It's you! Hurry up and accept the award!"

This is the award? Wen Zhuoyu stood up dizzy, as if there was a thousand catties of cotton under his feet, and floated all the way to the stage, which was particularly unreal. He didn't even know what acceptance speech he said. After returning to his seat with the trophy, Wen Zhuoyu slowly woke up. Holding the heavy trophy in disbelief: "This is the award?"

"Give me a touch." Gu Xihuai was a little jealous, and reached out to take the trophy in Wen Zhuoyu's hand and weighed it, it was quite heavy.

Wen Zhuoyu also nodded excitedly. But for everyone else who attended the ceremony, the Best Newcomer award was just an appetizer at the ceremony, and no one cared about where the award really belonged, except for a few other nominees who were also shortlisted for the award. They are more concerned about the heavyweight awards of best actor and actress, best film and best director.

It's a pity that "Xiusheng" got a good start when it first started, but the important awards that followed were not received. At the end of the award ceremony, Director Cen Wangnian felt lost for a moment and felt a little sorry for Wen Zhuoyu's strong support. Fortunately, there are still several small film festivals in the future, and director Cen Wangnian wondered how he could bring back a few more trophies.

Wen Zhuoyu was very satisfied. He knows that the content and theme of the film "Embroidered Life" may not be popular with Western filmmakers, and Wen Zhuoyu is very happy to have achieved this result. As for the award or not, Wen Zhuoyu feels that there is no need to force it. It is best to have an award. It doesn't matter if there is no award. Everyone is happy when they are shooting movies!

Director Cen Wangnian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Wen Zhuoyu's consolation - he had never seen such a Buddhist investor before, and he actually comforted the director not to care about the awards.

However, the more generous Wen Zhuoyu showed, the more determined Cen Wangnian was to work with Wen Zhuoyu. That's what he thought in his heart. Anyway, he was going to Wen Zhuoyu's film and television company. He would make more movies for the company and win the award sooner or later.
