A different director [entertainment circle]

Chapter 96 096 "Wine"

In August, Qin Yan released the second promotional film of the Pingcheng Olympic Games series, called "Food".

After the release of the promotional video titled "Food", the agitation triggered was more direct than that of "Sword", directly reflected in the real world.

The reason is very simple. Perhaps many foreign young people will be very interested in the culture and history of Huaguo because of "Sword", but they now have no way to travel to Huaguo in a short time, let alone understand Huaguo characters.

Huaguo characters are originally one of the most difficult languages ​​in the world to learn, even if they listen to songs, they can't understand the lyrics.

Of course, they also try to understand Huaguo through the media of movies, but there are too few Huaguo movies that meet the aesthetics of Western audiences.

A group of young and enthusiastic young people do not have any basic understanding of the history of Huaguo. It is impossible for them to have any interest in mainstream Chinese movies.

Moreover, the stimulation brought to them by "Sword" is more about their yearning for Chinese martial arts and martial arts.

They also want to learn Huaguo martial arts, but the martial arts and kung fu in the film and television works are exaggerated, and the reality simply cannot achieve the same effect.

On the other hand, they can't find a formal martial arts gym in their own country at all.

There are even martial arts clubs everywhere in Huaguo, not to mention other countries.

If they don't understand the text, don't have other works, they enter the martial arts hall and are disappointed, their enthusiasm for Chinese culture will soon fade away.

But Qin Yan's second promotional film "Food" is different!

It allows people from various countries to have the possibility of personally contacting Chinese culture.

Who can live without three meals a day?Even if you don't understand the culture behind each dish, there is always a meal, right?

You can't use chopsticks, but you can still use a spoon!

In English-speaking countries such as Lighthouse Country and Buluo Country, there are Chinese restaurants.

Not to mention that the food in Bangzi Country and Sun Country has been influenced by Chinese culture, and Chinese cuisine has always been quite popular in these countries.

Chinese restaurants have indeed opened all over the world, not to mention that there are Chinatowns and similar ones in every country, even in modern cities there are a large number of modern Chinese restaurants.

However, these Chinese restaurants are also facing various difficulties, because now Chinese culture is not valued and highly evaluated internationally, and Chinese cuisine is considered cheap.

Most of these Chinese restaurants were opened by immigrants from the coastal areas back then, and the dishes are mainly Cantonese, which cannot completely represent Chinese food.

In addition, there is no culture of eating Chinese food overseas at all, and the recognition of real Chinese dishes is quite low.

In order to change the status quo, Chinese restaurants have to make various improvements. Now there are not many authentic and traditional Chinese dishes that can be eaten in overseas Chinese restaurants.

Even after making such concessions, Chinese food is still tepid, and Chinese food in Beacon Country is even much less than Mexican restaurants.

Without understanding and interest, you will not take the initiative to try Chinese food.This is the attitude of the whole world towards Chinese food.

But Qin Yan released "Food" this time, making many people curious about what kind of food China will have with thousands of years of civilization.

They quickly discovered Chinese restaurants in their city, and called friends to embark on a culinary adventure together.

Chinese restaurant owners who don't know much about the Internet are also wondering why so many young foreigners have flooded into their restaurants during this period of time.

They have obviously never eaten Chinese food, and they don't know how to order, so they can only communicate with each other.

After finally serving the dishes to them, I had to watch them struggle with the chopsticks, and finally gave up choosing knives, forks and spoons.

Of course, it is impossible for overseas Chinese restaurants to include the rich and varied cuisines of China.

But they have one characteristic, that is, they have survived in the West for many years. They should be improved and catered to local tastes. For example, General Tso’s Chicken, which rarely appears on the menu in China, has become a representative of Chinese cuisine overseas. .

So when these Westerners walked into a Chinese restaurant because of "Food", they found——

Huh?Chinese food seems to be pretty good.

In fact, cultures across the country will make certain changes in order to cater to the local area.

After Chinese food enters the western market, it will become less oily and less spicy, and it will be mainly sweet and sour.

Whether it is a lighthouse country or a country that does not fall, these countries are extremely sweet countries.Sichuan, Hunan, and Yun cuisines are difficult to survive.

All cultures are relative, and this is not the servility of Chinese culture.

When western food enters Huaguo, it also needs to cater to the market.The most famous KFC and McDonald's taste different in every country, even in China.

The cultural market is also a market, and culture can only be exported if it can make money and survive.

Although Chinese restaurants are much more "delicious" than these Westerners imagined, some people may feel puzzled.

Why is Qin Yan's promotional video "Food" compared with the types of food they ate, and the delicacy, color and fragrance are completely incomparable.

Although it is understandable that there must be discrepancies between these Chinese restaurants and the videos, the gap is too big.

These western customers will ask the bosses of the Chinese restaurant with a little disappointment:

"Boss, do you only have these dishes here? Why do we see better Chinese food in the videos? Those videos can't lie to me, right?"

The vast majority of Chinese people living overseas have a very strong sense of identity with their own country’s culture. They will communicate with these foreigners in the local language they are already familiar with after living in the West for decades:

"How is it possible! There are so many delicacies in our country. I just know a little bit of a branch of the eight major cuisines!"

The Chinese restaurant will chat with them about the eight major cuisines and the cuisines they cook, and then recommend different classic dishes to them.

In order to maintain the image of their country, they will say without hesitation that most of their Chinese restaurants are fast food and home-cooked food, which cannot be put on the table at all.

The real top Chinese chefs not only need to make an appointment, but many ingredients have a specific enjoyment period.

"In our country, only from April to May every year can you eat the most delicious mushrooms in Yunnan Province in the southwest. That's when the meat is fat and firm, and the texture is white!"

"And when the fishing starts in March, that first net of bass will let you know what is heaven and earth!"

"Speaking of mutton, of course you have to eat it in December when the sky is full of snow. The meat is plump and fragrant!"

Restaurant owners and chefs tried their best to coax these rookies who knew nothing about Chinese food into a daze.

Usually they just listen to it as a joke, but now "Food" directed by Qin Yan can prove that all these exist!

At the end of the last credits of "Food", there are brightly written languages ​​in various countries——

"This video is shot in kind, and all dishes are cooked by real people."

Thinking about it this way, the Chinese cuisine in my mouth seems to be even more delicious!

And recently, social circles are talking about "Food" and Chinese cuisine. Of course, I need to share what Chinese cuisine I have eaten, and at the same time show off my understanding of Chinese culture.

According to word of mouth, the sales of many Chinese restaurants have increased by more than 30% in a week, and more and more people are willing to try Chinese food.

After "Food" was released, the happiest people were not the officials of the Olympic Organizing Committee, nor the netizens in Huaguo, but the owners of ordinary overseas Chinese restaurants who have really benefited.

Although they don't have the unpredictable knife skills like those master chefs in the video, but after working for so many years, it's no problem to show off their cooking skills to foreigners.

Moreover, human beings all have a common problem. When they see cool things they don't understand for the first time, they will make a yelling expression.

"Amazing! Is this Chinese food!"

This has greatly satisfied the self-esteem of overseas Chinese chefs. Who doesn't want the food they make to be recognized by others?

After being greatly satisfied in terms of money and self-esteem, the chefs also spontaneously recommended it to those guests who have not seen "Food", forming a cycle of "trying and promoting" in overseas markets.

Many people contacted Qin Yan directly and said, "Qin Yan, you can do it. A promotional video saved the Chinese food industry in the Gulf."

Without any pride, Qin Yan said very implicitly:

"This has nothing to do with me. It's because the image of Huaguo has improved in the past few years, and more people know and recognize Chinese culture."

Qin Yan doesn't think that he can really make Chinese food go to the altar in the world with a ten-minute promotional video.

Several years ago, after Ang Lee filmed "Eating and Drinking Men and Women", there was also a wave of Chinese food abroad.

How many people go to Chinese restaurants to try something new!

However, there is no continuous cultural output, coupled with the uneven quality of overseas Chinese restaurants, it is not without reason that Westerners have always considered it "cheap cuisine".

After many people have tried Chinese food, the taste is mediocre and can still be eaten.In less than half a year, the enthusiasm for Chinese food has completely cooled down.

The matter of food culture cannot be solved by Qin Yan alone. Why the international image of French cuisine is so good is because of the constant support from all French cuisine operators, including the entire country, from the industrial level.

With Qin Yan's recent international attention, the promotional film "Food" this time can indeed attract more people's attention to Chinese food in a short period of time.

But if you want to truly understand and like Chinese food, you need a steady stream of cultural output to maintain your image and develop habits.

That's something Qin Yan can't do.

In any case, the purpose of Qin Yan's promotional video this time is to achieve it, starting with "food", a cultural symbol that does not have any aggression, to spread the Chinese culture in a subtle way.

In addition, there are some people who are particularly excited, naturally the actors in this promotional film.

After starring in the small promotional film "Food", these actors have received several TV drama or movie contracts one after another, and the prices are much higher than before.

And they haven't rushed to agree yet, because they also haven't reached the highest level of attention in "Food", and their worth may still increase!Even getting international directors to notice them is not out of the question!

Sure enough, cooperating with Director Qin Yan was the most correct choice for them.

While rejoicing for their choice, all of them vaguely felt Qin Yan's horror in their hearts.

Such a promotional video can significantly increase the value of their second and third tiers. Even if this is also taking advantage of the east wind of the Olympics, it still makes people feel terrible.

It's no wonder that Qin Yan is dubbed a star-making machine in the industry. After the filming of the Olympic promotional videos, I'm afraid this statement will be verified again.

Everyone in the industry is paying attention to Qin Yan's development, wanting to see what other tricks he can play with the promotional video.

Some people even started to speculate on the Internet about what Qin Yan would choose among the countless cultural symbols in Huaguo.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone representing the pinnacle of Chinese culture?Porcelain silk representing the peak of China's business?Or a hundred schools of thought from the Axial Age of the world?

These are the symbols in people's hearts that can best represent Chinese culture, and this is also the element that can make Chinese people passionate!

But Qin Yan's choice once again made them unexpected - wine!

Not only did Qin Yan choose wine as the theme of the promotional film, but the shooting method of the promotional film also changed significantly.

The previous "Sword" and "Food" are a complete story, and then insert the corresponding historical introduction.

But "Wine" does not have a main story, but consists of four small stories.

About to go to the battlefield, some timid recruits, who have just tied their hair, have immature faces.

Tomorrow he will go to the battlefield, but the recruit can't sleep all night, showing fear, he is afraid that once he goes to the battlefield, he will never come back.

The chief of the recruits is not actually an "officer", just a ten-man commander, a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for a few years.

The ten captain went directly to the recruit, without saying anything, and handed the wine to the recruit directly.

The recruit doesn't know how to drink, but he can't refuse the captain's kindness, not to mention that he needs a ceremony to witness his new life.

The first time he took a sip of wine, the recruit coughed violently, and the captain beside him patted the recruit's back vigorously, smiling up to the sky.

As soon as the recruits fell asleep, the audience thought that they would go to the battlefield the next day. Who knew that after one night, it turned out to be deep in the mountains and forests, with layers of green haze.

A young poet is sitting alone in a small pavilion in the mountains, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones in front of him, and green trees and egrets in the mountains ahead.

Although it was daytime, the young poet seemed to be still in a drunken state, staggering and dazed, when suddenly the howling of an ape woke him up.

The poet who woke up didn't check his luggage, nor did he go to see where the ape was crying, he directly raised the wine jug in front of him and drank it down.

With a flushed face, he picked up a pen and wrote it.

On the white characters in front of my eyes, the messy and aesthetically pleasing words were formed in one fell swoop, like a flying bird coming out of the forest, startling a snake into the grass!

It's a pity that the vast majority of people can't understand what these words mean, they can only feel their unruly and boldness.

If they can distinguish these words, they will know that these words are the most brilliant and beautiful poems in Huaguo!

The camera keeps zooming in, and the text keeps zooming in, as if there is another world in the text.

This is a pair of newlyweds, the bridal chamber is filled with flowers and candles, and the cups are exchanged.

Yanyan smiled on the bride's face, and her husband's eyes were full of tenderness.

The two made a pledge of eternal love, and at this moment "wine" became a witness of their love.

In the last scene, the winemaker is testing wine.

From the planting of grains to the selection of yeast, spring and autumn come and go, the sun rises and the moon sets, and finally we get the gift from heaven and earth!

When the wine maker unsealed the wine jar, every audience seemed to smell the mellow aroma of the wine!

In the history of Huaguo, there are more than a hundred kinds of famous and good wines!

At this moment, all of them are brought together in the same screen through the technology of special effects.

This is Qin Yan's third promotional film - "Wine".

In fact, everyone's attitude towards wine is very subtle.

In the history of China, wine is absolutely indispensable.But the problem is, the controversy over wine has never stopped.

Addiction, wasting food, making mistakes after drinking...

Although wine is a cultural symbol, it is not the most perfect symbol.

Many people think that Qin Yan's choice of the theme of "wine" is a little superficial.

Since we want to write about "wine", why not just talk about "wine and poetry", which is obviously more representative of the history of Huaguo.

What they don't know is that Qin Yan's choice of "wine" is also to fit the mainstream aesthetics of the world.

Every nation in the world has its own cultural symbols, and most of the symbols have their own particularities.

Indeed, each nation has its own poetry, literature, and fine arts, which are the carriers of the national spirit.

But between different ethnic groups, there is no way to understand each other even in words. How can we make them understand Huaguo's poetry?

On the contrary, symbols like "wine" that can produce synaesthesia purely by taste can have the most direct appeal to video viewers.

The vast majority of Chinese people will never feel much admiration when they see Western Renaissance paintings and literary works for the first time.

But if you see western food and wine, your body will respond accordingly, whether it is the secretion of saliva or gastric juice, it will make people yearn for it.

When the promotional video of "Wine" was released in the West, it immediately aroused the interest of the West in the wine culture of Huaguo.

It turns out that there is also good wine in Huaguo?

May I ask who who loves wine doesn't want to taste more wines from all over the world?

Among the eight major spirits in the world, there is Huaguo Baijiu, but Huaguo Baijiu has not been able to go to the world completely.

What a pity.

Moreover, Qin Yan has studied world cultures. Among the cultures of various countries, the sense of identity of wine culture is even higher than art culture and poetry culture!

Everyone uses wine to strengthen their courage, use it to express celebration, and use wine to generate inspiration...Qin Yan uses "Wine" to evoke the memories of various ethnic groups about their own culture.

Be curious first, accept later!

More and more people want to go to Huaguo, not for the Olympics or for Qin Yan, but simply looking for delicious food and wine.

Compared with the crystallization of the spirit, the desire for food and drink is obviously more directly attractive!

While becoming more and more interested in Huaguo, many viewers have vaguely discovered that "Wine" is slightly different from the previous "Sword" and "Food".

Especially professionals, they soon discovered that "Wine" was one or two points weaker than its predecessors in terms of shooting skills and plot fluency.

Could it be that Qin Yan's performance was unstable?

impossible.

If Qin Yan's director level really had anything to criticize, he would have been pulled out and criticized countless times.

It is because Qin Yan's shortcomings cannot be found from the technical level, so the disputes about Qin Yan are all illusory contents such as thought, character, and accomplishment.

When they saw the final cast and crew list, they realized that Qin Yan was no longer a screenwriter or a photographer this time, he was just a director!

In the screenwriter and photography column, there are names that most people in the circle have never heard of, and they are definitely newcomers.

Foreign audiences didn't have a particularly big reaction to these changes. After all, they could only admire Qin Yan, not admiration.

But domestic audiences, especially those in the industry, felt shocked!

So far, he has been the scriptwriter and chief photographer of all Qin Yan's works, from "Ancient House" to "Earth Fortress" without exception.

The pictures and stories are all controlled by Qin Yan himself, and many people assert that this is the reason why Qin Yan's films are unique.

This time, Qin Yan entrusted such an important job to others, either Qin Yan thought that these screenwriters and photographers were better than him, or he wanted to train his successor.

Better than Qin Yan?

There are only a handful of directors in China who can match Qin Yan in photography, not to mention screenwriting ability.

Reminiscent of the young filmmakers that Qin Yan signed after the Youth Film Festival, the industry in Huaguo knew that Qin Yan was planning to cultivate his own lineage.

This made many people in the industry feel panic.

With only one Qin Yan, Huayan Company is enough to become one of the top film and television companies in China.

Qin Yan is well-known in the industry for his pickiness and meticulous craftsmanship.Everyone also knew that fighting Qin Yan in the ring was totally courting death.

The big deal is to let it go, to make room for the schedule that Qin Yan is eyeing, and not to compete with Qin Yan for the box office.

This is also a common practice in the industry at present. Starting from "Earth Fortress", there are basically no major domestic movies that dare to compete with Qin Yan.

But there is only one Qin Yan, and other domestic film and television companies are not particularly flustered.

After all, at the current speed of Qin Yan's production of movies, it takes about one and a half years to complete a movie.

Although they felt the pressure from Qin Yan, their lives were relatively healthy during other relatively free schedules.

Now that Qin Yan suddenly wanted to train his screenwriter and photographer, wouldn't the next step be to train a director and prepare multiple films at the same time?

This is difficult for other film and television companies to achieve, after all, each movie requires a lot of liquidity.

But Huayan Company's earnings, although not listed companies have never been flawless, but there are general guesses in the industry.Liquidity and capital liabilities are definitely the most stress-free companies in the industry.

Especially those in the industry who knew the details of the Youth Film Festival, they all knew that Qin Yan had signed three young directors.

They also tried to poach people, but no matter how good they promised, the three of them identified Qin Yan and signed Hua Yan.

It is very possible that Hua Yan has already committed to their film investment!

If these three children can really grow up, let alone Qin Yan's ability, even if they have half the strength, they can get one-third of the box office, that would be a "nightmare" for the entire Chinese film and television industry.

Of course, it's just a nightmare for the film and television company. I'm afraid that most of the audience hope that there will be countless "Qin Yan" who can bombard them with good movies.

In the past, Qin Yan stood out from the crowd.

Everyone worked together to pretend that this "crane" did not exist, and then a group of chickens pecked at each other, and they were very happy day and night.

But now the crane suddenly said: No, I have to raise a few more cranes.

These chickens are really panicked.

Now we can only hope that the directors and screenwriters trained by Qin Yan are not up to standard.

But is it really possible?

Although "Wine" is only 10 minutes long, its shooting techniques and commercialized script can already explain everything.

Before shouting that the wolf is coming, only Qin Yan is a wolf, at worst, cut some meat and feed Qin Yan.

Now Qin Yan himself is not only a wolf, but also brought a pack of wolves to invade Huaguo's film market. Now the domestic film and television industry feels the crisis.

But they don't have any countermeasures yet, if the films from the Lighthouse country have an impact on the films from the Hua country.

At any rate, we can use the reason of "protecting the development of the domestic film industry" to boycott together, and then request corresponding policy protection.

But now Qin Yan is a serious Chinese native, and all film productions are done through domestic channels, so he pays no less tax. He also insists on using Chinese actors.

This is a mainland director who is very popular!

In addition, this time Qin Yan shot so many promotional videos for the Olympic Games for "free", and the results were seen by the whole world.

Qin Yan must have put a name in front of the eyes of the leaders above, even if they wanted to give Qin Yan some eye medicine, it would be difficult to achieve.

This is the nature of capital. When there is an alternative or a leader in the industry, the first reaction of other companies is how to get rid of this "traitor".

When they found that they were powerless, they had no choice but to choose to improve themselves.

Although they don't know what to do, but they have a reference answer "Hua Yan".

Film and television companies have started their own reform plans one after another, trying to improve their actors' acting skills, director ability, screenwriter's salary as much as possible...

"Five-Year Plan", "Ten-Year Plan", "Reform Plan"...

Every film company is holding a meeting, calling for reform.

In the past, domestic films were all pursuing big directors, big stars, and big productions. From now on, the pursuit of domestic films has to change.

Of course, when we can see the final results, it depends on when these young directors can really grow up.

----

Now the industry already knows that there are probably 2-3 more Olympic promotional films.

However, after the release of "Wine", everyone's focus is no longer on the promotional film, because "Fortress Earth 2" was completed at the beginning of the year, and the post-production has been completed in June.

Everyone is waiting for the specific release news of "2".

Qin Yan has not continued to be in charge of the specific work of the Olympic promotional film recently, and he handed over the script and shooting to several young people.

He only needs to regularly check the storyboards and scripts submitted by these young people, until he nods and approves, the company will then form a shooting team and contact actors.

After the actors join the group, Qin Yan can start working for a few more days.

Qin Yan has been busy with the release of "Earth Fortress 2" recently, and now the Lighthouse National Theater has basically negotiated the price.

After all, the Beacon Country is still the largest box office in the world, and Qin Yan absolutely does not allow any changes in the box office in North America.

Paramount Pictures failed to bid again this time, and the screening rights of "Fortress Earth 2" were once again tightly held by Warner, a local tyrant.

Back then, I didn't know Qin Yan was good, but now I just watched "2" and shed tears!

Qin Yan is not what he used to be now, he no longer needs to look for publishers all over the world.

When he stated to film companies around the world that he was going to sell the screening rights of "2", countless company representatives flocked to him.

Even Qin Yan didn't need to go to the Lighthouse Country to discuss matters. Representatives of these companies traveled thousands of miles and came to Pingcheng from all over the world just to attend the internal screening of "Earth Fortress 2".

Although Qin Yan stated in the email that he can participate in the quotation even if he does not come to the screening.

But do they dare?

Paramount is the negative teaching material they put beside their pillows. If they want to win Qin Yan's friendship, they must show their sincerity.

This is just an internal screening, but there are hundreds of people participating, and if you pull out just one person, countless little stars and actors will flock to it.

Xie Beiyang also attended the preview of "Fortress Earth 2".

But during the screening, Xie Beiyang was always a little distracted, kept turning his neck, leaning on the chair for a while, and straightening up his junior for a while.

Qin Yan was actually worried about the situation over there, but Qin Yan had already guessed the result, and he had also experienced similar things, so he calmly said to Xie Beiyang:

"Don't be too nervous, you will know the result later."

Pingcheng Huayan Company held a preview of "Fortress Earth 2". At the same time, the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major international film festivals, was also presenting awards tonight.

The reason why Xie Beiyang is so out of his mind is because Xi Qianqian participated in the movie "Death" some time ago, which was selected as the main competition unit of this Venice Film Festival.

A pure literary film like "Death" usually chooses to participate in the film festival first, and then release it after being nominated or even awarded, so as to obtain a better schedule and screening rate.

Xi Qianqian was nominated for Best Actress in Venice, and this nomination alone is enough to excite the domestic film and television circles.

The mainland has not been nominated for the best actress of the three major movies for many years.

Qin Yan hadn't thought of this before, and had sent invitation letters to major companies in advance, and the time couldn't be changed, so Xie Beiyang was in a difficult situation.

Xie Beiyang has been working hard to control his emotions, but everything is in vain, he can't concentrate on the movie screen.

When the screening of "2" ended and Qin Yan and the copyright dealers were chatting and laughing at the banquet, Xie Beiyang directly said that he had something to do and left temporarily.

Qin Yan knew that Xie Beiyang must have secretly gone to check the final result.

After a while, Xie Beiyang returned to the banquet, and he showed a regretful expression to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan nodded. He was not surprised by this result. Although Xi Qianqian's performance in "Death" was remarkable, to be honest, her acting skills were still a little green.

According to Qin Yan's prediction, the probability of winning in the end is about 20%.After all, the heroines of the other nominated films played really well.

Even after the announcement of the nomination, Qin Yan told Xi Qianqian about this matter in advance, telling her to keep a low profile and not be too confident, otherwise she would make a big fuss if she was caught by the media for inappropriate remarks.

Some time ago, Xi Qianqian was still like a normal person, eating, drinking and having fun every day, which is called "enriching life experience".

She even contacted the Pingcheng Repertory Troupe, saying that she wanted to act in a drama on stage.

After the Venice nomination list was announced, the film appointments sent to Xi Qianqian almost crushed her assistant to death.However, Xi Qianqian didn't think about the film at all, she knew that these film contracts were just a bet on whether she could win the award, and it wasn't really her choice.

On the contrary, Xie Beiyang is a little abnormal. He often checks the relevant information of the Venice Film Festival.

I even searched out several other movies that were also nominated for Best Actress and watched them again and again, over and over again.

If outsiders don't know, they may think that Xie Beiyang was not Xi Qianqian who won the award, otherwise why should they pay attention to these issues.

So this thing is far from over.

After returning home, Qin Yan originally wanted to say something, but finally gave up.If Xie Beiyang didn't take the initiative to mention some emotions, he still wanted Xie Beiyang to digest them himself.

But who knew that when Qin Yan was about to take a bath, Xie Beiyang suddenly hugged Qin Yan tightly from behind.

"Just now Qianqian called me and said that although she didn't win this time, she is already very happy."

"I don't know how to comfort her."

Qin Yan wanted to turn around and communicate with Xie Beiyang, but Xie Beiyang refused to face Qin Yan this time no matter what.

Qin Yan could only maintain the posture of being hugged by Xie Beiyang from behind. He didn't say anything, and quietly felt Xie Beiyang's pain and struggle.

Xie Beiyang continued:

"I'm really bad, I really hate myself like this. If Qianqian knows, she will be very disappointed."

Qin Yan had seen through everything a long time ago, he said lightly:

"No, you've done a good job."

The conversation between the two had no beginning or end. It was Xi Qianqian who did not win the actress. Why would Xie Beiyang blame himself so much?

"So you already knew that? Then you've been watching my jokes, haven't you?"

Xie Beiyang fell into self-doubt completely, he even began to guess how Qin Yan thought of himself

How would Qin Yan see his "ugliness"?Would he feel disgusted by being so vicious?

Of course, these are what Xie Beiyang thinks are "ugly".

After learning that Xi Qianqian did not win the actress, apart from regret and disappointment in Xie Beiyang's heart, there was also a little happiness and joy that he didn't want to admit.

Subconsciously, Xie Beiyang didn't want Xi Qianqian to win the best actress at the Venice Film Festival.

This emotion is so obvious that Xie Beiyang has no way to ignore it and deceive himself.

Xie Beiyang felt that his heart was too dirty, how could he have such thoughts in the face of Xi Qianqian?

Qin Yan felt that the strength holding him loosened a bit, he turned around forcibly, hugged Xie Beiyang with his backhand and said:

"Don't say you have such an idea, I will too."

"We made the first movie together with Qianqian, and I didn't even win the best director of the three domestic awards, let alone the three international awards."

"If Qianqian really wins the Best Actress, how can I find her to cooperate in the future?"

"And let me tell you that with Qianqian's personality, if she wins the actress, she will definitely stand proudly in front of us for a long, long time, and then our life will be difficult."

"So, let's celebrate that she didn't win."

Qin Yan was extremely humorous, and smiled to express the dark emotions in his heart.

Xie Beiyang knew that Qin Yan was obviously comforting himself. With Qin Yan's heart, it was impossible for him to be anxious about an international actress, but Xie Beiyang did feel a little relieved because of Qin Yan's comfort.

It turns out that everyone will have similar emotions when faced with the fact that their friends are getting better and better and may suddenly abandon themselves.

This has nothing to do with whether a person is noble or kind, it is just human instinct.

Falling short, a desperate and painful thing to do in a friendship.

Xie Beiyang said sullenly:

"Still, it's because I've been left so far behind that I shouldn't have thought that."

Hearing these words, Qin Yan was sure that Xie Beiyang had almost thought about it.

"Wait for Qianqian, let's treat her to a meal when we come back."

"Ah."

Within two days, Xi Qianqian hurried back to Pingcheng.

It is said that when Xi Qianqian was at the airport, he was stopped by a paparazzi media.

"May I ask Mr. Xi, you have expressed regret and disappointment in the country for not being an actress. What are your thoughts?"

There are too many traps buried in the question, as long as Xi Qianqian answers seriously, he will definitely make mistakes.

Then Xi Qianqian didn't stop her pace at all, and only left a sentence:

"You let a young girl in her 20s go to win the best actress? I'm sorry, I just want to be a princess, not a queen!
