After reuniting with the giant bamboo horse, I became popular [entertainment circle]

The assistant director Chang Yuan next to him coughed suddenly.

"To be honest, when I took this movie, I just came here for a big salary," he said frankly, "I want to make money and support a family, but I don't have the big dreams of young people who just graduated."

"However, after staying in the crew for so many days, I found that "Summer" can have greater ambitions, and it is indeed worthy of this ambition," Chang Yuan said, "I agree with Director Huang's point of view, we completely You can try to rush."

"I've always thought that my script would win an award." The screenwriter, who seemed a bit socially fearful, was actually the most determined of these people.

Huang Anguo continued: "We all feel that "Summer" can be more ambitious, try to participate in the exhibition, and win awards, instead of being reduced to a game that may be sealed forever, and even have no chance to play in front of the public. work!"

"Mr. Li, what do you think?" He asked.

Li Huai's expression also became serious.

Of course he wants to win an award. Which actor who is a bit ambitious would not want to win an award?

Those well-known international awards, or even simply getting nomination qualifications, are ceilings that ordinary filmmakers can't touch.

For example, the Venice International Film Festival has always been hailed as the cradle of international film masters. Although the scenery has been a little less in recent years, it is still a top-notch film event that has attracted much attention. There are so many new films in the world, and only [-] or [-] films can be produced every year. There were only [-] films in the last session that were qualified to participate in the exhibition and were shortlisted for the main competition unit.

It is said that low-budget literary and artistic films are suitable for winning prizes. In fact, it is not that simple, but it is just a survivor's bias.

"The three major European film festivals are really difficult, and we can also consider trying other film festivals," the veteran director of the industry said steadily, "The theme of "Summer" is still very flattering, I have thought about it carefully, The chances are really great.”

Director Chang is right, if you can't win the top international awards, what about other lesser-known film festivals?

Maybe the vast majority of people have never heard of it, but, apart from the Hollywood Oscars that they like to play with themselves, and the three top European international film festivals, there are also many less famous but also well-recognized in the industry International Film Festival.

For example, there is the Shanghai International Film Festival in China, the Tokyo International Film Festival not far away, and various international film festivals such as Moscow, San Cano, San Sebastian, etc., and more dazzling awards.

If you prepare carefully and put a little effort into the taste of the judges, you may really have a chance of being nominated.

Li Huai was slightly moved.

He was originally a very dedicated and cooperative actor, not to mention, who doesn't want his movie to be seen by more people?

"So, what do I need to do?" he asked.

"Of course the original script is excellent," Huang Anguo said, "but the emotional expression is purely oriental, too reserved, and those gringos can't understand it at all."

"It's purely because they are too superficial." The screenwriter said in disgust.

Huang Anguo glared at this self-proclaimed social fear and talkative guy, and continued to persuade Li Huai.

"Anyway, if it's for the prize, the original script must be modified, and the emotional display must be more open," Huang Anguo continued, "Don't worry, Europe is no different from the United States. They tolerate different cultures." The degree is higher, and the modification does not need to be compared with the art films over there. After all, the implicit beauty of the East is our advantage, but it needs to be released a little bit, enough for the judges to understand."

Huang Anguo spoke very straightforwardly.

Li Huai read the newly revised script carefully again.

In all fairness, the newly added roles are indeed not out of the ordinary, not even enough to dedicate themselves to art, but it is a little bit out of bounds compared to most of the movies released in China.

Moreover, I don't know if it's more alluring to be half-covered, that kind of subtle lingering, but it makes people's blood spurt even more.

As an actor, he himself will not resist any efforts that are conducive to filming.

"I will fully cooperate." Li Huai nodded, agreeing to the director's decision.

Regardless of the fact that there is no shadow of the award, the newly added scenes really make the whole movie more tense. Looking at it from a professional perspective, Li Huai also approves of this modification.

"That would be great!" After receiving Li Huai's reply, the director who was still a little nervous finally relaxed, and even his thick panda eyes stretched out, and several creases appeared on his young face. .

"That's it..." After laughing for a while, he rubbed his hands again, and said embarrassedly, "That's the one, can I ask Teacher Li to persuade the big boss?"

"He Xijing disagrees?" This was beyond Li Huai's expectation.

After all, He Xijing is the investor in this drama, even if he doesn't value the rate of return anymore, he wouldn't say no to this kind of beneficial improvement, right?

Li Huai felt that He Xijing should be able to easily see that the newly revised script was better than before.

"Why didn't he agree?" Li Huai asked strangely.

"That..." Huang Anguo actually guessed a little bit, but he didn't dare to say it, so he looked at Li Huai with a sad face, "I don't know, can you help persuade me?"

Li Huai did not fully agree, but only said that he would go and ask, and asked the director to continue communicating with investors, no matter what the result was, he would cooperate.

"As long as you are willing, the boss will definitely agree." Hearing Li Huai's willingness to say it, Huang Anguo immediately smiled, "The boss listens to you the most!"

Li Huai gave him a strange look.

Huang Anguo realized that he had accidentally said something wrong, and immediately made amends with a smirk: "After all, you are a very valued friend of the boss, and he will definitely respect your opinion."

"I can only say that I will try my best to persuade him." Li Huai agreed.

On this day, after another scene between the two of them, Li Huai took a break, seeing that He Xijing looked relaxed, and said carefully: "I heard that Director Huang wanted to add a scene, but you rejected it?"

He Xijing shuddered and turned to look at Li Huai.

"He mentioned it to you too? Just ignore that guy, if he bothers you again, just tell me." He Xijing said.

"It's not annoying," Li Huai smiled. "Actually, I think the changes are not bad. Have you read the newly revised script?"

He Xijing frowned slightly and looked at Li Huai, seeming a little troubled.

Li Huai had thought a long time ago that it would be difficult for He Xijing, a straight man, to accept the intimate scene between two men.

"It doesn't matter, if you don't want to, just use the original version, and Director Huang doesn't dare to change anything." He said.

Although he was a little disappointed, Li Huai was not willing to make things difficult and force He Xijing, not to mention that he felt that he did not have the ability.

After being silent for a while, He Xijing asked, "Do you think...the changes are not bad?"

Li Huai nodded: "I really think what Director Huang said makes sense. The newly added scenes have better drama conflict and tension."

Hearing Li Huai's words, a gust of hot air suddenly rushed up from He Xijing's tailbone, dyeing his ears red, but his face still didn't show at all.

"You...wouldn't mind acting...that with me?" His tone was still steady, but it seemed that it didn't sound coherent.

"I don't care. After all, I'm an actor. I can act in any kind of play," Li Huai smiled. "But I completely understand if you don't want to act. It doesn't matter."

He keenly noticed that He Xijing's ears were turning red.

When He Xijing reappeared in front of him, he seemed to be unable to maintain the image of a rational and cold elite, but Li Huai suddenly felt that this guy seemed a little cute.

He Xijing turned his head in embarrassment, and after a while, he said, "I want to think about it."

His voice was muffled, with a bit of stubbornness.

The smile on Li Huai's face deepened.

"Okay, I support whatever decision you make," he said.
