rising director

Laughing loudly, Yao Chen took the trophy from Tao Hong, and the host said from the side: "Yao Chen, you have won the best newcomer award, do you have anything to say to the audience?"

Yao Chen said excitedly: "There are too many things to say. I really didn't expect to get this award. Before the award, our director said that everyone is a newcomer and a student. They haven't graduated yet. Don't think about getting this award." It’s not our turn for the award. I really listened to what he said, so excited.”

Seeing that Yao Chen was a bit incoherent, the host guided and said, "You are all students. The crew of "Waiting Alone" from the director to the production staff are all students from Nortel. It is really not easy to shoot such a good-looking movie. Tell me about your awards. Say it."

"Oh." Only then did Yao Chen remember that according to the usual routine, he might have to give his acceptance speech, "First of all, I would like to thank the judges for awarding this award to me, and thank all the cast and crew of the crew for getting along together It took me a month, and that was the happiest period of time for me. Thanks to my parents, you supported me in my pursuit of actors, and I would also like to thank everyone who liked "Waiting Alone" and me, thank you. Finally, I must Thank you to our Director Wan Xiaohu, if I don’t say it, he will probably beat me up, thank you, Director Wan!”

Wan Xiaohu was below, laughing loudly: "Yao Chen is quite eloquent, what he said is very good."

"You can be proud." Chen Chong despised.

Yao Chen's award was purely accidental, and the following award presentation was back on track, and the crew of "Waiting Alone" was left with applause.In the second half of the show, after Best Actress, finally came the award that Wan Xiaohu was most looking forward to.

The award presenter was the famous cross talk actor Feng Gong, who burst out laughing as soon as he appeared on stage.After laughing for a while, the host shouted: "The [-]th Beijing College Student Film Festival, the most popular film among college students is "Waiting Alone", directed by student director Wan Xiaohu, a youth romantic comedy, very popular among college students .I invite director Wan Xiaohu."

Wan Xiaohu trotted onto the stage, took the trophy from Feng Gong, and bowed slightly: "Thank you, Teacher Feng Gong."

"The young man is young and promising, good job." Feng Gong gave the stage to Wan Xiaohu after a word of encouragement, and walked off the stage majestically.

Wan Xiaohu, who has been there, took a deep breath, held up the trophy, stood in front of the microphone and said: "The trophy is heavier than I thought, and I am very happy to win this award. Thanks to the Beijing College Student Film Festival for giving us such a chance to show ourselves. Thanks to the college students who voted, thank you for your support. I would like to thank all of our crew, without your efforts, "Waiting Alone" would not be as brilliant as it is now, thanks to the producers, and thanks to the leaders and teachers of Nortel for their support. For my help, give me recommendations, thanks to Professor Wang Hongwei for helping me revise the script, and Professor Wang Youquan for teaching me to edit. Finally, can I make an advertisement? On May 5th, "Waiting Alone" will be released in major theaters, everyone is welcome to watch ,Thanks."

After holding the trophy three times in a row, Wan Xiaohu stepped down from the stage in high spirits.

Being a director myself is not just for the scenery of this moment.In this world, is there anything more beautiful than standing on the podium?

Today is just a small college student film festival in Beijing, and in the future he will be so famous in the Golden Rooster Awards, Golden Horse Awards, Golden Statue Awards, Golden Lion Awards, Golden Palm Awards, Golden Bear Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and even Oscars!

Wan Xiaohu was in the capital, but his relatives and friends in Jiangdong were notified early, and they all crowded in front of the TV at the uncle's house to watch the awards ceremony.The cable TV circuit has not been set up in the town yet. At present, only the uncle's house in the town has cable TV and can receive the Beijing TV station.

"Look, Tiger is on stage."

"Brother Tiger is so handsome."

"Tsz Shan, your eldest son is really beautiful today, look at this outfit, suit and leather shoes, you look like a big director."

Wan Cishan couldn't stop smiling on his dull face.

Wan Xiaohu's mother, Li Cuiping, said with a smile, "Oh, my son is growing up, we are lucky if we don't have to worry about it. It doesn't matter if he becomes a big director or not. Thank God for not causing trouble outside."

Wan Xiaohu's grandparents are hard of hearing, so they don't know what they are talking about, but when they saw Sun on TV, they laughed too.Grandpa, who was afraid that Wan Xiaohu would go astray, smiled very brightly. The old man didn't know much about the film industry, and he didn't even know what a film festival was, but Sun Shang TV couldn't fake it.

Being able to appear on TV means becoming a big shot!

"My grandson is like me." The master suddenly said forcefully.

"Haha." Everyone in the room laughed.

……

Su Ya, who was in charge of the accounts at the Dandelion souvenir shop, was also watching Jingcheng TV. Seeing Wan Xiaohu winning the prize in high spirits, the corners of her mouth turned up: "I didn't expect that, you are quite handsome when you put on a suit."

0043【Interview】

After receiving the award from Beijing TV station, Wan Xiaohu was quite proud, because the media had already come to interview him.

A reporter from "Guangming Daily" contacted Wan Xiaohu that night and asked for an interview with the crew of "Waiting Alone".Wan Xiaohu naturally agreed, and accepted the interview in the reception hall of Jingcheng TV.

"Director Wan Xiaohu, I am very glad that you all took the time to accept my interview. I am Liu Yilong, a reporter from Guangming Daily." Liu Yilong said politely.

Wan Xiaohu smiled and said, "Hello, Reporter Liu."

After being seated, Liu Yilong started the interview without much polite words: "As far as I know, your entire crew is a student of Nortel. What prompted you to gather to shoot this movie?"

"I didn't expect the filming to come so suddenly. At that time, I held the idea of ​​giving it a try and invited my classmates from the school. Then everyone responded positively, and the school also gave it a high priority. We gathered together like this."

"What was the hardest thing about making a film for you?"

Wan Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "It's determination. In fact, any student in the Directing Department of Nortel is capable of directing a movie. The problem is that many realistic conditions restrict our initiative. You can't have a big If you are determined, you will not be able to break through this obstacle."

"What obstacle?"

"Many factors, investment, script, age, connections, reputation, channels, and all kinds of sudden problems."

"I never thought about what would happen if the movie didn't succeed?"

"I didn't think about it. I just gritted my teeth and got on the horse. Even now, I still feel a little scared when I think about it. The movie will be released the day after tomorrow. I don't know what the box office performance will be. I'm somewhat worried."

Liu Yilong continued to ask: "On the SOO website, "Waiting Alone" took the lead and won the most popular movie among college students. What do you think is the reason for the movie being liked?"

"Focus on reality and get close to the audience." Wan Xiaohu gave his answer.

"Can you be more specific?"

Wan Xiaohu nodded: "Movies are made for the audience. We should shoot whatever the audience likes to watch in theory. I think the quality of life in the country is developing rapidly now. It is no longer everyone's concern to have enough food. Everyone is more concerned about it. To care about the emotional problems encountered in one's own life, or what kind of life to pursue. "Waiting Alone" is to cast a perspective on a group of young people who have taken root in big cities, and describe their pursuit of love with the language of the lens. That must be the reason."

Liu Yilong looked at his manuscript and asked: "Many directors are now pursuing the commercialization of movies, but the effect is not very good. What kind of problems do you think they have? From the point of view, what mistakes are there?"

"Haha, your question is too profound, I don't know." Wan Xiaohu laughed.

If Wan Xiaohu was a stunned young man, he might blow it up and accuse him of the problem, but he is not a stunned young man, and the people in the entertainment circle are very clear about it.

Even if he knew that these fifth-generation and generation directors did not shoot well, couldn't keep up with the rhythm, or fell into some kind of misunderstanding, he couldn't say it.A newcomer who has just stepped into the world of directors, just brags and points out the world, not to mention whether others believe it or not, even if they believe it, they will not appreciate it, they will only think that Wan Xiaohu is too crazy!

Seeing the deliberate or unintentional traps in Liu Yilong's question, Wan Xiaohu stopped talking, and brought more topics to others, letting these students argue with the reporter and pick himself out.

The entertainment industry is not peaceful either, so it is necessary to be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must know the truth that disasters come from words.

The crew of "Waiting Alone" didn't have any news to squeeze out, so Liu Yilong asked some random questions and left with a smile.The crew also disbanded on the spot, and each took a taxi back to school.

On the car back, Wan Xiaohu received many congratulatory calls, one of which was from Yu Dong: "Brother, congratulations."

"Hehe, it's not worth mentioning."

"The movie will be released the day after tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, the media will start publicizing it. Just wait and see the movie. In addition, I will go to various places during this period of time to run copies for distribution. If there is a situation, I will go directly to my company."

"Ok."

"That's it. I'm still busy. Goodbye."

Hanging up the phone, looking at the night in the capital, Wan Xiaohu's mood was particularly agitated.After working for such a long time, the harvest season has finally arrived. Whether it is success or failure, the decisive battle will officially begin the day after tomorrow!

And this will also be the moment when Wan Xiaohu becomes famous all over the country.

"An era is coming, folks, are you ready?"

Brightly lit streets, neon lights flickering.
