A different director [entertainment circle]

It's 12 o'clock, and it's time for lunch break.However, neither of the two people before the work got up, and they were engrossed in the computer screen in front of them.

One of the men didn't raise his head until the phone's alarm rang.

He looked at the vast amount of work in his hands, and then at his partner who heard the alarm not far away but remained motionless.He got up helplessly, walked behind the other party, forcibly hugged him up, and said in a tender voice:

"Okay, it's time to eat."

However, the other party ignored the man at all, his fingers flying like flying, and he seemed to be still obsessed with work.

Qin Yan said helplessly:

"Bei Yang, stop making trouble. I'm hungry."

That's right.

These two men who are addicted to work are Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang, but one is really addicted and the other is fake.

Hearing Qin Yan's shouts several times, Xie Beiyang finally raised his head, the emotions in his eyes were too complicated:

"Now you know how to eat?"

Qin Yan also knew that Xie Beiyang was angry with him.No way, whoever asked me to work some time ago was too selfless.

The negotiation time with Hollywood Studios of Beacon Country far exceeded Qin Yan's expectation.These companies are the most cunning crocodiles. After finally finding out Qin Yan's softness, they naturally clung to it and refused to let go.

Qin Yan went to Warner for the first battle. Even though the two sides still have cooperation projects like "Earth Fortress", the other party just insisted on the terms.

Anyway, it is Waterdrop Video that has been hit in the Huaguo market, and they are not in a hurry.Qin Yan gave the crew a seven-day holiday, thinking that he could manage one or two companies, but the fact was that Qin Yan reached a contract of intent with Warner on the first day of the vacation.

The crew couldn't delay their opening, Qin Yan could only hand over all the work to Xie Beiyang in the end.

Xie Nan still has his own Tenghui business, so he came to the Lighthouse Country during the Spring Festival, it was for the sake of his brother and sister-in-law.

Qin Yan could only call the CEO of the water drop video from China.He and Xie Beiyang each led a team and ran in the Lighthouse Country for a month and a half before finalizing the general cooperation.

After taking away the online broadcasting rights in the mainland, the CEO of Waterdrop Video immediately returned to China. This time, Waterdrop Video is ready to do a big job.

Anyway, the Beacon Country still has to leave a person in charge to communicate with the film company and deal with follow-up issues. It stands to reason that people of Xie Beiyang's level should not come forward, but Xie Beiyang used this as a legitimate reason to stay.

Everyone knows that Xie Beiyang stayed here for Qin Yan.

Originally, when Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang met, they should be a little farewell to a newlywed, it should be a deep affection and inseparable.But in fact, the moment Xie Beiyang saw Qin Yan, his face instantly collapsed, as dark as an old iron pot.

There is no other reason, Qin Yan's current state makes it difficult for Xie Beiyang to accept.

Qin Yan paid great attention to his own image, no matter how tired he was, he would definitely shave and dress himself up before going to the set every day.

Even before Qin Yan met Xie Beiyang, he made a special styling and temporarily bought two clothes that fit his current body shape.

When trying on clothes in the store, the shopping guide tried his best to control his emotions, so as not to jump on him in a nympho.

In the eyes of everyone, Qin Yan is still that personable and charming international director.

Young, rich, handsome, successful, talented...

But in Xie Beiyang's eyes, he only saw a boyfriend who was obsessed with work and didn't care about his body at all.

Is Qin Yan in front of you handsome?handsome.

No matter how hard Qin Yan tried to hide it, Xie Beiyang could still see through the dark circles under his eyes and the fatigue in his eyes.

The moment he saw Xie Beiyang, Qin Yan was indeed very happy.

Because in public, Qin Yan couldn't go up and hug Xie Beiyang directly, but the two of them stared at each other tightly as they walked towards each other, and the excitement in their eyes could be seen at a glance.

But Xie Beiyang felt that what he saw was a fire that was about to burn out. If you poked it with a wooden stick, it would suddenly burst into violent flames, steaming hot and dazzling.

But it won't be long before the fire will eventually return to calm and burn out faster.

Xie Beiyang felt that the air around him became thinner, otherwise why would it be difficult for him to breathe.

Qin Yan's state made Xie Beiyang a little scared.

Fortunately, I and my brother Xie Nan came to the Lighthouse Country and took over most of the copyright work.If Qin Yan is really asked to go to the company in person and negotiate one by one, I don't know how tired Qin Yan will be.

Regarding his boyfriend, Xie Beiyang was not tactful at all, he showed Qin Yan's face at that time, passed Qin Yan and directly hired a taxi, and left by car.

Qin Yan was left in a daze, and immediately drove back to the hotel.

Xie Beiyang also knew that he was naive, but Xie Beiyang didn't know how to relieve and express his emotions at that time, so he could only choose to leave temporarily to let himself calm down a little.

However, Xie Beiyang is rational after all, and repeatedly said to himself in the taxi:

Don't be angry, if there is any problem between two people, you must communicate calmly.

So Xie Beiyang still came to the apartment that Qin Yan bought in San Francisco. When Qin Yan returned to the apartment, Xie Beiyang had already packed everything.

However, he put all his luggage in the guest room, and his attitude was quite clear.

Qin Yan didn't dare to protest, because he knew that he was wronged first.

The two started their current weird cohabitation. They were obviously lovers, but they slept in separate rooms every night.

During the day, if Qin Yan goes to Guangmo Company, Xie Beiyang will follow him. Anyway, Xie Beiyang also has a lot of work, so he is not picky about the office location.

Seeing Qin Yan's working state every day, Xie Beiyang suddenly understood what kind of emotion Qin Yan was looking at him with when he was filming "Born in the Mud".

Xie Beiyang's reaction was so intense, apart from being dissatisfied with Qin Yan's carelessness with his body, why not angry with himself?

Qin Yan was making a movie in the Lighthouse Country, and he couldn't help him with anything.It wasn't until Qin Yan couldn't hold on anymore that he was asked to come to the Lighthouse Country to help with copyright matters.

Otherwise, he would still stay in Beijing with peace of mind, and he didn't know how long he would be kept a secret.

Xie Beiyang knew very well that he was more upset with himself. If he could fulfill his responsibilities as a boyfriend and discover Qin Yan's condition earlier, then maybe he could find some help from the Lighthouse Country.

Maybe love is such a magical thing. It is obviously giving birth to one's own love, but one can't help but think about one's most important venting.

During this period of time, Xie Beiyang blamed himself, and Qin Yan saw it all.

If Xie Beiyang was just angry with him, he could still accept it.But looking at Xie Bei and Yang Sheng's own sulking, Qin Yan always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, don't be angry, can't I just eat well?" Qin Yan was showing weakness to Xie Beiyang.

Now that the words have been said, Xie Beiyang also expressed his true thoughts:

"How long have you had a rest without thinking about anything, even if you are not busy with film work, what you think about in your mind is still film."

Hearing Xie Beiyang's questioning, Qin Yan also fell silent.

Looking back, since the filming of "Ancient House", or even earlier, since Qin Yan came to this world, all of Qin Yan's actions have a purpose.

Understand the world, understand the film industry in this world, and want to do something for the development of discourse films...

Step by step, faster and faster.

If I rest for half a year, I will miss one step of filming; if I don’t participate in this event, what opportunities will I miss; what other industrial chains can be deployed in advance...

Sometimes, Qin Yan also wanted to stop.But behind him is the torrent of history, like a pair of invisible giant hands, pushing him forward.

Qin Yan thought that he would not regret or get tired, but in front of Xie Beiyang, Qin Yan found that he was just an ordinary human being, just as lazy and lazy.

Qin Yan hugged Xie Beiyang from behind, put his chin on Xie Beiyang's shoulder, and said coquettishly and weakly:

"Isn't this one thing after another in the past few years? Wait for "Fortress Earth 3"...and "Hou Yi" to finish filming, let's take a good rest and travel around the world."

"We can go skiing at that time. Didn't you always want to talk about going to the Arctic Circle to see the aurora? By the way, I really want to go to the Sun Country to soak in hot springs."

"We are starting to make plans now, and write down everything we want to do, and we will finish it together when the time comes."

In the past, when Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were most relaxed, they were watching movies together at home.

Through a small screen, you can see the scenery of all countries in the world. At that time, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang would often say, where, where, where they must go when they are free.

Although both of them are not short of money, but the particularity of their work is so desperate that they have never found a chance to travel.

Xie Beiyang sighed, and he gradually thought about it.

In fact, in the final analysis, Qin Yan was not at fault in this matter, and he didn't need to promise or guarantee anything to himself.

And whenever he gets angry, Qin Yan will come to coax him. From Xie Beiyang's point of view, it is obvious that he has not fulfilled his boyfriend's duty, and Xie Beiyang is too embarrassed to continue to be angry with Qin Yan.

It just so happened that it was time to eat at this time, so Xie Beiyang took Qin Yan to the Cantonese restaurant that had been reserved earlier.

Among other things, since Xie Beiyang came, Qin Yan's three meals a day have indeed become much more regular.

Xie Beiyang doesn't urge Qin Yan to eat now, anyway, he stays with Qin Yan every day, and he doesn't bother Qin Yan.

When Qin Yan works, he works. If Qin Yan doesn't eat, he doesn't eat. It depends on who can survive.

Qin Yan can not care about his body, he can work overtime until he forgets to eat when he is alone, but he can't ignore Xie Beiyang.

So Qin Yan set an alarm clock for himself to remind himself to eat on time every day.

When the alarm clock rang and saw Xie Beiyang beside him, no matter how busy the work in hand was, Qin Yan would pause, such as now.

This time, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang stayed in the Lighthouse Country until the beginning of May.

At this time, all the work on "Fortress Earth 3" has been completed, and the finished film is in hand.

As the first batch of lucky ones to see the finished film, Xie Beiyang is sure that "Fortress 3" can continue its legend and wait for the global release.

In terms of review, it has been submitted to the relevant authorities in China.

As the current international stage of Chinese-language commercial films, "Fortress Earth 3" basically passed the review without any suspense.

You must know that the male lead and director in "Fortress Earth 3" are all mainland Chinese, and there are a lot of Chinese supporting actors, and the image is still so great, it's strange that it didn't pass.

As for foreign theaters, this time Warner Corporation participated in the investment, and the global screening rights were handed over to Warner.

This time, it wasn't that Warner Company took it by force, but Qin Yan took the initiative to throw all the work to Warner.

Since you want to invest in dividends, you have to work.

With Warner Bros.' status in the Lighthouse Country, it can be said that there is no difficulty in arranging the release schedule through the Lighthouse Country's grading system.

Obviously, the release conditions around the world are already met, but the release time of "Fortress Earth 3" has not been announced for a long time.

Warner also discussed with Qin Yan, hoping that "Fortress Earth 3" will be released as soon as possible, after all, the money can only be earned by yourself.

And Warner also said that it is best to confirm the release time earlier.

As the last part of the main story of "Fortress Earth", Warner Bros. is already mentally prepared to spend a lot of money on publicity.

In any case, we must win this year's annual box office champion. Of course, if we can create a box office record, that would be great.

However, Qin Yan postponed the release of "Earth Fortress 3" by himself, which surprised the insiders at home and abroad.

Of course, Qin Yan didn't do this to disgust Warner, but because he had a bigger plan. For this reason, Qin Yan flew to Warner's headquarters to fight with a group of high-level executives.oh

After hearing Qin Yan's plan, Warner hesitated for a long time.

Their only feeling is: it is really the Qin Yan they are familiar with, and his thoughts are always so surprising.

In the end, Warner chose to agree, although this plan sounds a little whimsical.

But if it's Qin Yan, I don't know why the senior executives of Warner Pictures think that Qin Yan is really likely to succeed. They even saw the demeanor of some top international directors in Qin Yan, that kind of infinite confidence in their own works.

Of course, more importantly, they are also collaborators and beneficiaries. Otherwise, even if Qin Yan said that he broke the sky, Warner would not be able to agree.

The news about "Fortress Earth 3" was quietly released under Warner's deliberate actions.

"The production of "Fortress Earth 3" is complete! The release date is just around the corner!"

"Relevant sources revealed that Warner has no publicity plans at the moment."

"Warner responded positively: "Fortress Earth 3" is waiting for a more suitable opportunity to be released"

Now fans all over the world are boiling, complaining, protesting, and looking forward to it.

It's like telling an already hungry diner: Our meal is ready, but you have to wait.

Waiting for a "more suitable opportunity", is Dao Qin Yan going to put "Fortress Earth 3" on the Christmas holiday again?

Many directors have their own favorite schedules. "Fortress Earth 2" was released in the 07 Christmas schedule. With such amazing results, Qin Yan will not be obsessed with the Christmas schedule!

Still have to wait for more than half a year, this is completely humane destruction!It's miserable!

Of course, there were some reports about conflicts between Qin Yan and Hollywood Studios, and it was very vague whether "Earth Fortress 3" would be released.

Neither Qin Yan nor Warner will respond to these messages.

To be precise, the media couldn't find Qin Yan at all, so naturally there was no possibility of responding.

And what is Qin Yan doing?

Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang did not return to China after finishing their work in the Lighthouse Country, but flew to Kangcheng, the Rooster Country.

This time Qin Yan's goal is the Cannes Film Festival, one of the three major international film festivals.

What can bring enthusiasm to the movie, apart from the blessing of the actors, it is undoubtedly various international awards, which can make people full of expectations.

However, Qin Yan came to the Cannes Film Festival this time not for "Fortress Earth", but for "Born in Silt".

In September last year, the post-production of "Born in Silt" had been completed.

Qin Yan has not been submitted for review, "Born in the Silt" has a high probability of passing the review, but some deletions will be made to some extent.

Because no matter "Sun Yunxiu" played by Xi Qianqian or "Liu Dali" played by Xie Beiyang in "Born in Mud", the final ending is too heavy and sad.

It is a tragedy under the wheel of the times, and it is an inescapable vortex.

"Born in the Mud" was originally a literary film, and the plot needed to be revised. Qin Yan had no way of guaranteeing what the final product would look like.

If "Born in Silt" fails, both Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang will be affected.

You must know that this is Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang's first literary film, and many people call it their "transformation work" and "a sign of maturity"...

The higher the expectations, the greater the backlash of failure.

For other directors making entertainment films, they only need 60 points to pass, but for Qin Yan, 80 points are required.

The plot cannot be changed, and the box office cannot be lowered. After much deliberation, Qin Yan made the final decision to let "Born in the Silt" win an international award.

So Qin Yan has been holding "Born in Silt" in his hand, just for the Cannes Film Festival.

Of course, it is obvious that the Berlin Film Festival held in February is more suitable for "Born in Silt", but Qin Yan has more ideas.

A literary film is always a literary film, no matter how good it is, it will only attract so much social attention, which is incomparable with the trend caused by commercial films.

Even if "Born in Mud" wins three awards, not many people will actually go to the cinema to watch it. This is a very real problem.

Qin Yan sent "Born in Silt" to the Cannes Film Festival last year, and expressed his willingness to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

In fact, the organizing committee of the Cannes Film Festival was also quite surprised when they received Qin Yan's film.

In their impression, Qin Yan has always been a director of commercial films, so he naturally has a different atmosphere from their Cannes Film Festival.

Coupled with what Qin Yan said would premiere at a film festival, this is even more impossible for a commercial film.

But when they finished reading "Born in the Silt", they agreed to Qin Yan's various conditions without hesitation.

It can be seen that the judges of the Cannes Film Festival like "Born in the Silt" very much, and many judges have expressed their optimism to "Born in the Silt" to Qin Yan in various ways.

Sure enough, when the list of the Cannes Film Festival was announced in April, "Born in Silt" was selected as the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival!

As soon as the news came out, it sparked intense discussions in the Chinese film industry.We must know that Chinese people have never stopped pursuing international awards.

Of course, Qin Yan doesn't think that "Born in Silt" has already sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

On the one hand, the quality of "Born in Silt" is definitely not crushed among the entries.

On the other hand, even for the three major film festivals that they promise to pursue purely, there are still too many interests involved.

The Cannes Film Festival is the most commercial of the three major film festivals, and has a close relationship with Hollywood Films.

One of the conditions that Qin Yan negotiated with Warner before was that Warner must fully support the promotion of "Born in the Silt" in Cannes.

Propaganda is not necessarily deception.

For example, in years when the minority group movement is more popular, works with LGBT subjects are more favored. In years when skin color issues broke out, film works involving people of color may win more awards.

"Born in Silt" is obviously a response to the problem of class/class solidification. With Warner's ability, he can completely manipulate some media to discuss the situation of Western class/class solidification.

And many social problems, interpreted from different angles, will have completely different answers.This is what the media are best at.

Don't underestimate the media, they are called the uncrowned kings, but for a reason.They can affect the three views of human beings unconsciously, even the judges of the Cannes Film Festival are no exception.

Qin Yan did not allow any mistakes in "Born in the Silt", so he and Xie Beiyang came to the Cannes Film Festival half a month earlier to help promote it.

You should know that the Cannes Film Festival is different from the Oscars, which have a big pot of awards. There are 400 judges at the Oscars, but there are 9 judges at Cannes.

The artistic aesthetics of these nine people will determine the final award.

The chairman of the judging committee of this year's Cannes Film Festival is a woman. She has a clear preference for delicate films. "Born in the Silt" obviously has a unique advantage. When Qin Yan was filming, he interpreted many emotions very well. tactful.

This is also the unique advantage of "Born in Silt".

Indeed, as Qin Yan guessed, before "Born in the Mud" was selected as the main competition unit, the chairman of the judges played a big role.

In the conference room with the highest confidentiality standards, 9 judges sat together and discussed the list of the main competition.Each of them has reviewed dozens of films, which is not an easy job to be a judge.

"So what's the point for everyone on this list?"

"Hua Guo has been selected for two films this time, isn't it a bit too much?"

"Why, don't you think "Memoir" is not qualified?" said the chairman with a smile.

"of course not."

"Then you are dissatisfied with Director Qin Yan's "Born in Silt"."

"Director Qin Yan may not be too young."

"Yes, we just feel we should be more cautious."

"It would be a disgrace to the Cannes Film Festival if such an excellent work was rejected due to reasons such as age, nationality, and the first time to make a literary film."

Of course, Qin Yan is doomed not to know the support of the review chairman for him.

He is taking Xie Beiyang to promote "Born in Silt" everywhere. As the opening ceremony approaches, filmmakers from all over the world gather in Cannes.
