rising director

The weather was cool in October, and Wan Xiaohu returned to the capital from Hong Kong.

Meet up with Su Ya and Li Xia who came to pick up the plane, and leave Wang Zhonglei and his party behind, stuffing large and small bags of souvenirs into Su Ya's Volkswagen.

"Tiger, welcome to stand the test and return to the big socialist family." Su Ya said exaggeratedly as the car started on the road.

Wan Xiaohu stretched his waist. He slept all the way in the plane just now, and his back hurts.Although I didn't move, I just felt tired: "Hey, in Hong Kong, there are delicious food and drinks served, and there are beautiful women to accompany you to go shopping on the street. I really don't want to come back. But when I think that my motherland still needs me, my brain gets hot, and my fighting spirit High-spirited, he blocked the sugar-coated shells back."

"The days in Hong Kong are so comfortable? Are there beautiful women to accompany you shopping?" Li Xia became interested.

"It goes without saying, who am I now, a well-known director, no one can support me." Wan Xiaohu said nonsense without shame, "By the way, on the mainland, have I become popular?"

"Not only is it popular, but it's almost familiar. There are reports of "Butterfly Effect" all over the world. I can't wait to praise the movie to the sky. The first domestic movie that is truly a sci-fi movie has already earned its title. Now Wait until the movie is released to see if the market is really fired up."

"Don't worry, the box office is guaranteed to be a big hit."

Arriving at the company in a short while, Wan Xiaohu couldn't wait, so he found the newspapers collected by the company during this period, and browsed them one by one.There were Huayi Brothers behind the scenes, Hong Kong media took the lead, and the domestic newspapers also reported fiercely.

The "Beijing Youth Daily", which has a good relationship with Dandelion, reported this way: "After the 80s, there is Han Han as a student, and Wan Xiaohu as a director. Han Han is still tweaking in the mainland, and Wan Xiaohu has rushed to Hong Kong. "Butterfly Effect" Hong Kong screenings, With rave reviews, agents rushed to seek copyright representation. The era of domestic sci-fi films has arrived..."

"Huang Zhizhi's journalism is very good, and he speaks with facts." After reading the report, Wan Xiaohu found out that it was written by an old acquaintance, the reporter Huang Zhizhi who first reported his fight, and immediately laughed.The current "Beijing Youth Daily" has been successfully publicized by Dandelion. When encountering this situation, it naturally spares no effort to help promote it.

And other newspapers, under the public relations of Huayi Brothers, also touted it.

What are the movies that conquered Hong Kong, what are the domestic sci-fi masterpieces, what are the masterpieces that stand shoulder to shoulder with Hollywood, what make Hong Kong directors worship, and what is the spring of domestic movies.Even before watching the movie, the reporters racked their brains to praise it, as if they were all present at the screening.

In addition, "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" is being broadcast on major TV stations for the second round, and the leading actors Chen Kun and Zhou Xun are extremely popular, which makes "Butterfly Effect" even more popular, and the audience is screaming and looking forward to it.

"The "Butterfly Effect" is so popular now, but I don't know if it will be able to make a splash again at the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival." Su Ya flipped through the souvenirs brought back by Wan Xiaohu, and said casually.

Wan Xiaohu said with a smile: "Whether you can win the award depends on whether Huayi Brothers' strength is deep enough."

The Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was a bit funny from the very beginning.Because of this film festival, there are two awards to be awarded, one is the popular film Hundred Flowers Award, and the other is the National Film Golden Rooster Award.A film festival, two film awards, seems a bit nondescript.

And what's even more funny is that these two film awards also like double yolk eggs and triplets. For each award, several people like to win at the same time.There is no need to speculate on the meaning of the fruit being arranged in rows, as long as you look a little bit, you can see it clearly.

However, it is lucky to be able to share the fruits. No matter how bad the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is, it is also an annual national film festival.If you win an award, you can gain fame, and gaining fame is equal to gaining income.

"I think "Waiting Alone" is more likely to win the Hundred Flowers Award, and "Butterfly Effect" can only compete for the Golden Rooster Award." Li Xia said.

The Hundred Flowers Award is an audience award, which is voted by the audience on the spot and needs a foundation of popularity, while the Golden Rooster Award is an expert award, which is selected by expert research.

"Mom said that life is like a piece of chocolate, you never know what you're going to get." Wan Xiaohu smiled lewdly and replied with a line from "Forrest Gump".

At the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, it is a joy to win an award, but failure does not mean failure.Compared with the awards, Wan Xiaohu pays more attention to the new film meeting during the film festival. Many media will focus on it here, and exhibitors and distributors from all over the country will also come to buy and sell films.

Great future, all in the film festival ah.

After having fun in the company for a while, and passing out the souvenirs he brought to people he knew, Wan Xiaohu went back to the bedroom to rest with the exhaustion of flying.There are still two weeks until the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, so there is no need to rush anything.

After sleeping until four o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Xiaohu was awakened by a burst of hunger.

When I arrived in the capital in the morning, I went to sleep without eating. It seemed that Li Xia called out once in the afternoon, but Wan Xiaohu didn't get up in a daze.

After washing his face, Wan Xiaohu opened the refrigerator, looking for something to eat.

As a result, the refrigerator was empty.

"Haha, it's so clean?"

Extremely disappointed, Wan Xiaohu had no choice but to change into a set of clean clothes and was ready to go out for a meal.At this time, the phone rang, beeping.

After answering the phone, Wan Xiaohu was surprised to find that it was Zhou Xun calling.

"Hi, Zhou Xun, what's the matter?"

"I went to Huayi Brothers in the afternoon. I heard that you are back from Hong Kong... I heard that "Butterfly Effect" was very successful. Congratulations."

"Everyone's credit, you also have a share. To be conservative, although the response to the screening is good, the market reaction has yet to be verified. However, I have always been confident in the film."

"You have always been a confident person." Zhou Xun smiled.

Wan Xiaohu laughed loudly: "No way, I don't know what it means to have no self-confidence."

"That's right." Zhou Xun echoed, and then fell silent.

Wan Xiaohu didn't know what to say anymore, after a long while, he asked, "What are you doing now?"

"Watching TV, I have nothing to do these days, how about you?"

"I just woke up from sleep. I'm starving to death, and I have nothing to eat at home. I'm going to go out and find a restaurant to solve it."

"How can I do that? Eating out often is not good for your health, it's unhygienic."

"I can't help it. I'm single and waiting for redemption. No one will cook for me."

"How about... come to my house, I'm going to cook a big meal tonight, please."

"Make a big meal?"

"Hehe, today is my birthday, and my parents are not around, so I want to celebrate by myself."

"Really, it's your birthday, then I'll go to celebrate your birthday."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Xiaohu looked up at the sky, thinking about what kind of birthday present he should choose for Zhou Xun.To be honest, the relationship between him and Zhou Xun was a bit delicate, originally it was limited to the relationship between director and actor, but that night of indulgence made everything complicated.Wan Xiaohu wanted to draw his gun and leave gracefully, but he still had some concerns.

Zhou Xun wants to embrace a new life, Wan Xiaohu has already decided to let go, and now he has this phone call again.

After a long while, Wan Xiaohu grinned: "What am I worrying about, live a chic life, forget about it!" After finishing speaking, he went to the company to ask for Su Ya's car keys, and drove to the flower shop to buy flowers.

Women are all emotional animals, so sending flowers is the most suitable.

"Sir, who do you want to give it to, is it your girlfriend?"

Wan Xiaohu stroked his chin: "It's between a girlfriend and a friend, how do you give it?"

"If this is the case, I recommend two to three lilies, about ten red roses and pink carnations, purple forget-me-nots, orioles for the grass, and gypsophila dots between the flowers to make a bouquet, surrounded by pink wrinkles. Paper, so beautiful and generous."

"Okay, here we go."

After the flowers were packaged and the money was paid, Wan Xiaohu drove to Zhou Xun's house in a short while.Before getting out of the car, I sorted out the [-] on the rearview mirror, and then held the flowers.He rang the doorbell, and after a while, Zhou Xun, who was wearing an apron, opened the door.

"Happy birthday to you, old birthday star." Wan Xiaohu immediately handed over the bouquet.

Holding flowers, Zhou Xun smiled brightly: "Thank you, come in quickly."

Putting the flowers in the vase, Zhou Xun was busy making a cup of tea for Wan Xiaohu: "Drink a cup of tea first, and turn on the TV for a while. My food is still in the pot, and it will burn later, so I won't chat with you. "

"It's okay, you are busy with your work, I will watch TV."
