Founded in 1996, the Busan International Film Festival was originally held with the aim of promoting the development of the South Korean film industry, discovering new talents and new works, and providing a broader platform for Asian films to go global.

After four editions of the festival, the Busan International Film Festival has grown rapidly and has gained a certain influence in Asia, attracting the attention and attention of many filmmakers.

The festival consists of seven sections: "Window on Asian Cinema", "New Wave", "Panorama of South Korean Cinema", "World Cinema", "Wide-angle Lens", "Open Cinema", and "Special Project".

With the exception of the "Window of Asian Cinema" and the "New Wave" section, the festival is basically out of competition.

The most eye-catching is the New Wave Award in the main competition unit, in addition to the Merit Award, the Union Award, the Fan Award, the International Film Critics Association Award, the Asian Film Promotion Organization Award, the KNN Audience Award, etc.

"The Night the Comet Commet" was shortlisted for the "New Wave Award"!

In fact, in comparison, Chen Hao attaches more importance to the Golden Horse Award.

Although the Golden Horse Awards are not one of the 15 international A-category film festivals in the world recognized by the International Film Producers Association, it has a long history and has definitely surpassed the young Busan International Film Festival in Asia, especially in the mainland.

The current Busan International Film Festival is not only inferior to the Tokyo International Film Festival, but also compared with the Shanghai International Film Festival.

Of course, the positioning of the Golden Horse Awards and the Busan International Film Festival is somewhat different, and in addition to competition awards, international film festivals also play a role in promoting film exchanges and film trading markets in various places.

Considering that Chen Hao's goal is ultimately for the film to be released in the mainland, it is more advantageous to win the Golden Horse Award.

However, no one will have too few awards, and foreign monks are good at chanting scriptures, and if they win the award at the Busan International Film Festival, it will be considered gold-plated.

Chen Hao was happy to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Busan International Film Festival, but the phone still did not ring, and even the media did not report him, so he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.

In fact, this is Chen Hao wronged the media, as one of the three gold medals in China, and the most influential one, as soon as the Golden Horse Award shortlist came out, the mainland media rushed to report it.

In addition to several hits, everyone also noticed "Comet", which won two nominations, because the film is from the mainland.

It's just that the names Haotian Studio and Chen Hao are too unfamiliar, and no one has heard of them at all.

Nowadays, information transmission is not as developed as in later generations, and even if the media carefully search, it is estimated that it will not be able to find it in a short time.

At the same time, domestic media also reported on this year's Busan International Film Festival.

Last year, 207 films from 55 countries participated in the exhibition, more than 3,000 guests gathered, and more than 200,000 South Korean viewers participated in the voting.

Of course, the first focus of mainland media reporting foreign news is to see if there are Chinese elements.

Soon, the media found out that the "Happy Times" of the National Normal University will be screened at the Busan International Film Festival, and what surprised the mainland media even more was that a Chinese film from the mainland was shortlisted for the "New Wave"!

Of course, this is not the first mainland Chinese film to be shortlisted for the New Wave, as early as the first session, Zhang Ming, one of the sixth generation directors of China, directly won the New Wave Award with "Wushan Cloud and Rain".

Zhang Ming is also one of the professors of the Imperial Film Directing Department and Chen Hao's teacher.

Later, when there was the third time, Jia Zhangke also won the highest award with "Xiao Wu".

However, when the mainland media found out that the shortlisted Chinese film was translated as "Comet", they were all stunned, because the name was somewhat familiar.

Then I thought of the movie of the same name nominated for the Golden Horse Award.

After a comparison, I found that it was really the same movie!

This made the media interested, so while reporting on this somewhat mysterious origin of "Comet", I wanted to find the director of this movie, Chen Hao!

When the media was about to dig deeper into Chen Hao, Chen Hao received a call from his teacher Xie Fei.

"Okay, I was nominated for both film festivals, I really didn't expect it. Xie Fei said happily.

"It's all the result of everyone's hard work, and I thank the teachers for their help. Chen Hao said with a smile.

"It's good that it's not floating. Xie Fei said, "By the way, your teacher Zhang Ming also asked me to tell you, behave well and strive to get a prize back." ”

"Haha, I can't guarantee this!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Alright, you can prepare well, and I wish you all the best. Xie Fei said.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hao went home and told his parents that he was going to South Korea to participate in the film festival.

Chen's mother was a little worried when she heard this, because she was going to go for a week, and Chen's father was happy for his son and hoped that his son would be able to come back with a grand prize.

Naturally, I met Xiaohu again at night, and this Nizi would call every night to ask about Chen Hao's whereabouts, which was very clingy.

Knowing that after Chen Hao came back, he came to play with Chen Hao again, and the two of them had a lot of fun, Chen Hao couldn't help but say, "I can't help but want to chant a poem in this situation, and the twenty-four bridges are ...... on a moonlit night."

Fortunately, Chen Hao was still a little sensible and didn't do anything foolish, but after Xiaohu recovered some strength, he secretly sent her home, and didn't dare to see Xiaohu's parents.

Early the next morning, Chen Hao took his luggage, said goodbye to Xiaohu and Dong Xuan, and flew to South Korea alone.

Everyone has classes, and Hao Yi has joined Ning Hao's crew, so only Chen Hao went alone.

On the plane, I didn't meet Gao Yuanyuan, and there was no hijacking or anything, and when Chen Hao arrived in South Korea, it was not yet noon.

After leaving the airport, Chen Hao went straight to Haeundae Nampodong, the venue of the Busan International Film Festival.

Chen Hao's South Korean is not very good, only in his previous life, he learned this foreign language in bed with Ha Da Niu and Son Ye-jin, which is completely half-toned.

Therefore, I can only communicate with Chinese, Korean, and English in three languages, and even gestures.

Finally found the organizer, and after staying at the hotel, Chen Hao received the film festival process arrangement from the organizer.

Chen Hao mainly watched when "Comet" was scheduled to be released.

A total of 203 films participated in this year's Busan International Film Festival, and all films were arranged to be screened in 15 theaters.

Chen Hao saw that the first show of "Comet" was scheduled to premiere at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the national teacher's "Happy Times" had already been released in the morning.

After reading the flow chart, he felt that it was still early, so Chen Hao took a shower in the hotel, then ate something, and then rushed to the cinema.

After finding the theater where "Comet" was to be screened, Chen Hao sat down on the side and waited for the audience to enter.

It didn't take long for someone to come in, and after Chen Hao looked up and saw the person coming, he couldn't help but shout, "Son Ye-jin!"
