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

Li Huai hurriedly connected the phone without even seeing the screen clearly.

"Hello! Li Huai, I'm Huang Anguo!" There was a whirring voice on the other side of the phone.

Li Huai couldn't help being disappointed for a while, but still smiled: "Director Huang, happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year," Huang Anguo said with a smile, "I'm here to tell you some good news. Our film is confirmed to be exhibited at the Berlin Film Festival! Although it wasn't shortlisted for the main competition..."

He coughed: "However, Assistant Yang said that during the film festival, you can invite the main creative staff to go to Berlin to see and see. Do you have time?"

Li Huai was taken aback.

"Berlin Film Festival?" He repeated Director Huang's words again.

"That's right!" Huang Anguo couldn't help being proud in his words. Although he was not nominated, but no matter what, his debut film was able to be sent to one of the three major film festivals. It is quite honorable to say it.

Among his classmates, the one who did the best was the assistant director. He was not a director at all, and had the opportunity to make independent films.

This is the benefit of holding the right thigh.

Huang Anguo was complacent when he suddenly heard Li Huai ask: "Then Mr. He...will you go?"

Huang Anguo shrank all of a sudden.

When he thought of this, he felt sad.

You said that you are a big boss, but you fell ill, and it is estimated that all future investments will be lost.

The only consolation is that Boss He Da is loyal, even if he is sick, he doesn't vent his anger on the movie.

Huang Anguo really doesn't know if he will have such luck in finding such an excellent investor in the future.

"Probably... I won't go, after all, Boss He is a busy person and doesn't care about these things." Huang Anguo said.

"Really?" The voice on the other side of the phone suddenly became quieter, and said softly, "Thank you for informing me, I am very honored to have this opportunity."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Anguo also sighed for Li Huai.

Judging from Li Huai's tone, these two people... probably also broke up.

As a bystander, he really felt a pity.

I can't tell whose fault it is, probably because of fate.

Huang Anguo shook his head, quickly recovered his mood, and went to show off on the phone.

By the way, let's see if there is any hope of catching another fat benefactor before starting to prepare for the next film.

In the new year, everyone is full of hope.

Li Huai hung up his mobile phone, and suddenly heard a cannon, and the beautiful fireworks lit up half of the sky.

Even the successive snowflakes were blown away for a moment.

His mood became a little brighter, he turned on his phone again, and sent a text message of blessing.

Plain and restrained words, with careful temptation.

"Happy New Year." Soon, there was a reply over there.

Li Huai's heart finally brightened up, and he couldn't help but smirk a little. Looking at the ordinary four characters, he just felt happy.

"Happy New Year." He said to himself, the smile on his face couldn't stop.

Then, he made several greeting calls one after another, to Mr. Lou and Sister Yi Lan who had worked with him before, the assistant director, screenwriter, and other respected elders and colleagues.

As if getting busy, greetings everywhere, the heart is not empty.

There were also a lot of phone calls, including his manager, his former assistant Xiao Ou, and a few close friends.

On Li Huai's face, there was an unstoppable smile.

Back in the house, Grandma Li Huai, who had just finished rehearsing the show, looked at him curiously: "Is there something good going on?"

Li Huai nodded slightly, and replied: "Yes, I will go abroad to participate in a film festival in a while, and my new film will be sent to the exhibition."

"My little grandson is amazing!" Grandma smiled happily when she heard that, "When the time comes, I will bring back a few big trophies, and Grandma will cook you a table of your favorite food!"

Li Huai also laughed, he didn't explain in detail the difference between sending to the exhibition and participating in the competition, he just enjoyed the pleasure at this time.

I can't tell if it was because of the phone call or the text message I got back.

All in all, everyone had a good year.

I don't know where He Xijing is now?Did you have a good New Year's Eve dinner?

----

In the deserted villa, all the big lamps have been turned off, except for a dim yellow bedside lamp in the bedroom. He Xijing is sitting by the bed, looking at the blessing messages on his phone.

It was obviously just a few words, but he stared at it for a long time, and there was a slight smile on his usually proud and indifferent face, which looked extremely gentle.

Then, he put the phone back in the bedside table, returned to the study, and continued working.

It was as if the fireworks outside the window were lively and had nothing to do with him.

----

It's a new year, and everything is new.

Not long after the new year in China, the Berlin Film Festival officially announced the list of shortlisted films for the main competition unit, which aroused a little discussion on some niche forums.

"Unfortunately, there are no domestic films nominated this year. The last nomination was a few years ago, right?"

"At that time, he came back with an award. The domestic reports are almost amazing. Unfortunately, the director turned around and made commercial films. The transformation has not been very successful."

"No way, there are no art theaters in China, so there is no way to make money."

"You can't make money even if you have an art theater chain. Literary and artistic films are too niche, and Chinese audiences don't want to eat them."

"That's not necessarily the case, the key is that the movie must look good!"

The debate here is in full swing, and suddenly someone shouted: "Berlin officials have released a new shortlist, and there is a Chinese film in it!"

The newly released list has added three films, including a film called "Summer". The director, screenwriter, and several leading actors are all Chinese names, but... few people know who these people are.

"Where did this fairy come from? A newcomer!"

"Fuck! It's still a gay movie, I like it (slobber)"

"This kind of film won't be passed in China, right? Is it the kind of stunned young man who rushes out to participate in the competition by himself? Are you afraid of being blocked again?"

A similar thing happened more than ten years ago. The director and actor won a lot of awards outside, but it is a pity that they are not even allowed to report in China.

"Just kidding, the public opinion is much more open now than it was back then. Besides, it's impossible for this kind of film to enter the theaters, and there is no such thing as sealing or unblocking."

"I really want to see it, I really want to see it, the two male actors on the poster are so handsome, they match each other!"

"Should be able to see it on the Internet platform? I don't know how the scale is hehehe"

"Don't worry upstairs, the large scale will definitely be cut for you, and nothing will be missed!"

There was a lot of noise on the Internet, but Huang Anguo was already stupid.

"Summer" is in the... shortlist? !This is too sudden!

Without the slightest mental preparation, he was bombarded by phone calls one after another, and his mind became a mess.

Those high-ranking investors before suddenly changed their faces, from him chasing around begging for money, to others holding money to him.

That is just a few days.

Huang Anguo laughed silly for a while, and finally calmed down a little.

He is not a fool, he quickly figured out the cause and effect, and immediately called Assistant Yang.

No wonder, he wondered before, why an ordinary exhibitor, Assistant Yang was preparing to take the whole crew to Berlin with great fanfare, and it turned out that he was waiting here.

It took a long time to get through the phone over there. Assistant Yang smiled and exchanged greetings with Huang Anguo. The implication was that the quality of "Summer" was really good, so I helped by pushing the boat along the way. It can only depend on luck and quality, and he can't guarantee it.

Being nominated is the biggest help. Many actors and directors in China have been promoted all the way because of a simple nomination!

Huang Anguo thanked him a lot on the phone, hung up the phone, and sighed again.

But the quality is good, it makes the boss sick.

Thinking of this, he once again felt sad. Even though there are many contact information of Xin Feiyu in his phone now, but like Boss He, he has funds and connections, and he will not intervene indiscriminately, and he can even act in person Gold Master, how many times can we meet in this life?

Maybe all the luck in this life will be spent on this.

----

At this time, Li Huai also received several congratulatory calls.

The first call that came in was from Sister Yi Lan, and as soon as the call was connected, she smiled: "Xiao Li, you are going to soar into the sky, you have to count on what you promised to Sister Yi Lan!"

"It's just a nomination," Li Huai said modestly, "I just wanted to ask Sister Yi Lan if I could go to your place to make a living."

Jiang Yilan smiled boldly: "Sister is welcome here anytime, when you come back from Berlin, sister will come here to celebrate your success!"

The second call was from the agent, Sister Lan.

Sweeping away the anxiety and irritability before, her voice returned to hearty: "Li Huai, when are you going to Berlin?"

"We should wait for the second half of the month, when the crew will go together." Li Huai replied.

"That's fine, if someone from the company contacts you, don't bother, I'll block you for a while," Sister Lan said with a hint of gloating in her voice, "The contract between you and the company is about to expire, Mr. Fu It is clear that he is not going to renew the contract, who knows that once the list is announced, he will come over again."

"What do you think, think about it during this time," Sister Lan said to him, "Father Fu has really treated you well in the past few years, but you also have to think about how you want to go in the future. After all, Young Master Fu, with His father is completely out of the ordinary."

Li Huai never expected that Sister Lan would be so honest with him.

Li Huai couldn't help being surprised when he heard Sister Lan's words: "Then Sister Lan, you are going to..."

"Don't worry about me," Sister Lan smiled generously, "You will know in a few days."
