It's better to flirt with the hero

Xia Renren and Su Huanzhi rested for a period of time, during which time they met with Director Sun a few times to discuss the progress of "Gu Nian" participating in the film festival.

Director Sun is over forty years old, and he still lives happily every day, out of shape, and never regards making movies as a business to make money and make a living, just like playing.

If it hadn't been for achieving some achievements every time, it would probably be regarded as a typical negative teaching material, used by acquaintances to educate those passionate teenagers who talk about "dreams" all day long.

In some respects, Director Sun is more similar to Su Huanzhi. They both regard making movies as the white moonlight they chase after, and they are spiritual yearning and comfort.

From this point of view, Xia Renren is a down-to-earth layman—things that can be enjoyed by him are worth doing.

Like the previous works, "Gu Nian" has successfully entered the main competition unit of an upcoming international film festival.

When Director Sun shared the news, he was not very excited or surprised.Because he had higher expectations for "Gu Nian".

"The Capucine International Film Festival has accepted our sample, and I always feel that "Gu Nian" can stand out." Director Sun vowed, took a puff of cigarette, "wait for the good news!"

Xia Renren sat across from him, with Su Huanzhi on his right.

"One?" Director Sun handed over the cigarette case with half of the mouthpiece exposed, and asked Su Huanzhi.

Su Huanzhi waved his hand, indicating no need.

Director Sun said: "I remember you smoking, what's the matter, quit?"

The moment Su Huanzhi looked over, Xia Renren took the initiative to claim the reason, raised her hand and said, "Yes, I suggested that he quit."

In the original world line, Su Huanzhi often fell into emotional problems during filming. Su Huanzhi always smoked crazily unconsciously, so he was plagued by illnesses later.

Xia Renren just thought of it inadvertently, and mentioned such a sentence to Su Huanzhi, who did not expect the other party to be so obedient.

Director Sun recalled his experience of promising his partner to quit smoking and committing repeated crimes again and again, and his admiration for the actor Su was raised to another level.

The few of them rested for half a month, and as expected, they received the notification of being shortlisted for the Capucine Film Festival.

This year's film festival competition is particularly fierce. The film festival organizing committee has received more than 4000 applications, which is more than double the normal number of previous years.

However, the final selection of films that can be shortlisted for the main competition unit is one-third less than in previous years, only twenty.

Among the [-] works, more than half were produced by internationally renowned directors, among them was "At the Foot of the Green Mountain" starring Star King Entertainment's leading actor Gao Zhou.

"It's such a coincidence that I became rivals with Star King's people again." Xia Renren talked casually while surfing the Internet for news related to this year's Capucine Film Festival.

Su Huanzhi put his hands on his waist and sat down to watch the news on the web with him.Because of the natural movements, Xia Renren didn't even feel that there was anything wrong.

"You said that the 'stand out' in Director Sun's premonition will stop at the step of being shortlisted for the main competition unit, and then there will be no more?" Xia Renren said.

"At the Foot of the Green Mountain" was regarded as a classic work in the original world line, but "Gu Nian" died directly after Director Sun was rejected by Su Huanzhi.There are too many uncertain factors in this.

Su Huanzhi got close to him, and when he turned his head to breathe, he sprayed it on his face, and said with a low laugh, "Then we will continue to work hard."

Xia Renren nodded and said with a smile, "That's right, our goal is the actor Capucin."

The influence of the Capucin Film Festival is unmatched by all other film festivals, and countless people who love the film industry regard it as a real touchstone.Sun Dao is like this, so is Su Huanzhi.

The opening of the film festival will be next week, and Xia Renren and Su Huanzhi are likely to be nominated for Best Actor, and may even win the Best Actor trophy in the end.Of course, the final result will only be revealed at the awards ceremony of the film festival.

The place where the film festival was held was a warm and romantic city. The two of them had nothing to do in China, so they simply treated it as a vacation, a week ahead of schedule.

Xia Renren usually travels alone in the real world, but now that Su Huanzhi is beside her, she has a strange feeling.

Coincidentally, as soon as the two went abroad, they met Su Huanzhi's sister who had been homeless all year round.

My sister is setting up an easel and painting portraits of people in the square full of fountains.When he saw Su Huanzhi, he was taken aback for a moment, then threw away his paintbrush and rushed towards his brother.

Xia Renren was stunned.It wasn't until he heard that the young girl called "Brother" clearly that all kinds of exaggerated scenes in his brain stopped.

Facing the extremely enthusiastic pro-sister, Su Huanzhi asked calmly as usual: "Are you short of money?"

Xia Renren just thought hahaha when she heard the girl nod seriously and said distressedly: "There are still two countries I haven't visited, and I accidentally spent all the money my parents sponsored last month, so I don't want to come to the streets It's a show."

Then Xia Renren watched Su Huanzhi take out a few cards from his pocket and handed them to his own sister.

Xia Renren expressed that she liked such a simple and rude way of caring, and silently praised Su Huanzhi in her heart.

The brother and sister did not have the barrier of reunion after a long absence, and they spoke very naturally. The girl's mind jumped so much that she didn't say a few words before she turned her attention to Xia Renren.

"I heard my parents mentioned you, Du Huifeng, right!?" The girl danced happily, but at the same time, she felt that something was wrong, as if trying to make a good impression on this "sister-in-law" whom she met for the first time, restraining herself With a cute smile on his face, he said, "Hello, my name is Su Xiangnuan...you can come to me anytime you want to hear about my brother's past embarrassments!"

Regarding her identity in the hearts of the Su family, Xia Renren is not conscious, so she thinks of superfluous things at all.He greeted warmly: "Hello sister! So can I start talking about your brother's embarrassing things now?"

Su Xiangwan looked at her brother and laughed out loud, really revealing all the dark history of Su Huanzhi's childhood, without saving any face.

Su Huanzhi pursed his lips tightly, with a complicated expression on his face.

Su Xiangwan had the travel expenses, so he stopped working as a street performer and went to eat with the two of them after cleaning up.

After eating, Su Huanzhi reminded his sister that her birthday is coming soon, should she choose gifts together.Su Xiangwan has an uncontrollable temper. As for the birthday, if her brother hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten it all.Now that there is a gift to take, it is not free to take it.

So the three turned to major shopping malls.Standing in front of the counter to pick and choose, Su Huanzhi showed extraordinary interest in the ring, and even referred to Xia Renren's opinion when looking at the ring style.

Su Huanzhi chose a good gift for his sister, and when he handed it to her, he received a farewell from the other party, saying that he planned to leave for the next country tomorrow.Su Xiangwan left very freely, Su Huanzhi seemed to be accustomed to this, turned to look at Xia Renren, and said calmly, "Go back."

The two returned to the hotel and received the news that Director Sun had arrived here.

This year's Capucin Film Festival lasted for seven days, and the list of major winners was announced on the third night, which is the official awards ceremony.

Around the venues where the festival is held, familiar faces can be seen everywhere on the screen.

Su Huanzhi and Xia Renren didn't join in the fun, and continued to spend their time in this exotic romantic city that is like spring all year round.Director Sun occasionally joined their itinerary, and once he realized that he was really redundant, he chose to entertain himself.

Most of Xia Renren's trips in the real world were by herself. The only trip accompanied by someone was terrible in retrospect. She set off together with full expectations but cautiously, and finally fled back in embarrassment.

Then in this world, unexpectedly feel relaxed.

He attributes this to the absence of any psychological burden.Anyway, every world will disappear with the end of the task in the end, it is better to enjoy yourself in time.

At the awards ceremony on the third night, Director Sun greeted Su Huanzhi and Xia Renren to enter the venue together, sat in the seats arranged in advance, and waited for the lights to illuminate the stage. The host read out the list of winners.

Director Sun said, "I'm a little nervous."

Xia Renren sat next to him, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "How old you are, you're still nervous. If you don't win an award, just treat it as a trip, be normal."

Director Sun sighed and said, "I always feel that I will win awards, best film, and best director."

Xia Renren wanted to be so confident, so why are you so nervous!

Director Sun continued to talk to himself: "My pronunciation of foreign languages ​​is not very accurate, I will go up to receive the award later, and when I give my testimonials, I am so worried that I will be laughed at."

Xia Renren smiled: "It's okay, no one is listening carefully anyway."

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, they heard someone on the stage slowly chanting: "Best Film—"Gu Nian"."

Twenty films were shortlisted, and five were nominated for best film. Although "Gu Nian" was nominated, judging from the reputation of the production team, it was far inferior to the other four.That is the so-called dark horse.

There was thunderous applause from below.

As the director and producer of "Gu Nian", Director Sun personally stepped forward to accept the award.Director Sun rubbed his hands, murmured a few words, and slowly stood up from his seat.

When passing in front of him, Xia Renren finally heard what he read clearly - it was the acceptance speech typed on the mobile phone in advance.

Su Huanzhi also heard it, leaned over, and whispered in Xia Renren's ear: "Does this prove one thing, success usually belongs to those who are prepared?"

Xia Renren laughed out loud.There is nothing wrong with what you said, and people who have even prepared their acceptance speeches in advance, but they don't get the final award, are simply outraged!

On the stage, Director Sun was full of joy, holding the trophy and slowly giving out his acceptance speech one by one, with a completely calm appearance, and there was no sense of tension when he was complaining to Xia Renren sitting in the audience.

As soon as Director Sun got off the stage, he patted his chest secretly and said, "Oh my god, I was so nervous, I forgot the words after the first sentence!"

So both Xia Renren and Su Huanzhi found out the reason why he spoke so slowly in his testimonials - they thought it was pretending to be profound.

The awards announced immediately after are Best Director, followed by Best Actor and Best Actress, which are commonly known as "Actor" and "Queen".After that, there are the best male supporting role, female supporting role, newcomer and so on.
