Time passes, and the Paradise Island Film Festival is about to begin.

The already lively island has become even more noisy, and the streets are crowded with people.

"It's so lively. ”

Han Xiaoman was dressed in casual attire, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and big sunglasses, looking at the crowded streets under the shady leaves.

If she dared to come out like this in China, she would have fallen into the crowd long ago.

But on Paradise Island, there are people from all over the world, and not many people know her at all, let alone know that she is a popular star.

In other words, there are too many stars at the film festival, and only in the international arena, influential stars will be sought after.

In comparison, she is too far behind.

"It's okay. ”

Next to her, it was Han Yi.

Cool T-shirts, big pants, and slippers.

Such an image is different from that of China. Obviously, in a foreign country, he is too lazy to hold the label of a cultural person, how to be comfortable.

"Actually, in my opinion, it's pretty much the same as in China. ”

Han Yi said casually: "Maybe the domestic film festival is a little more lively, after all, we have more people." ”

“...... It's not the same, it's not good. Han Xiaoman pouted, "Winning awards in China is completely different from winning awards internationally." ”

Han Yi suddenly stopped talking.

Because he also knows that this is true.

Not only domestically, but also in all countries in the world, it seems that they want to be recognized and praised by "outsiders".

Once something rises to an international level, it is extraordinarily lofty.

As long as it is international, what honor has it received. As soon as he returned to China, under all kinds of propaganda reports, everyone naturally took a look at it.

With the increase in popularity, the commercial value will naturally be developed. Even if you are high and don't care about money, you can take on a few more dramas.

Some projects that I didn't dare to think of before, and some new plays by big directors, all have the opportunity to participate, and if you can't play the starring role, you can also play an important role.

All in all, there is no harm in all of them.

"Uncle!"

In front of his relatives, Han Xiaoman didn't mind revealing his ambitions, "Do you think I have a chance to win an award?"

"Difficult!"

Han Yi didn't want to hit his niece, but he knew that giving her unrealistic hopes would only ruin her, so he said mercilessly: "If you can have a nomination, even if you have accumulated virtue in your previous life, what award do you want to win, in your next life." ”

“...... Hmph!"

Han Xiaoman was dissatisfied, and knew that his uncle had no good words in his mouth. She got used to it and changed the subject, "When will the shortlist be announced?"

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

Han Yi said perfunctorily: "Anyway, after the opening, wait a few days and there will be results." Generally speaking, before the closing ceremony, if you receive an invitation, it means that you have gained something. If you don't get an invitation, you can go back. ”

“......”

Han Xiaoman frowned slightly, "It's going to take so long." ”

"Long what. ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "It's rare to travel at public expense, so don't you take the opportunity to play for a few more days." Surfing, diving, skydiving, and all kinds of seafood delicacies, even if you stay for a month, you won't get bored. ”

Han Xiaoman shook his head.

Her pursuit is completely different from Han Yi's.

Han Yi is completely with the mentality of "being rich is safe", as long as he makes money, he doesn't care if he earns more or less.

And she, but yearning, a higher stage.

She chose to make her debut and become a star, not to mix in the second and third lines, and then find a second generation and marry her peers, and then slowly fade out of the public eye.

Her goal, which has never changed, is to reach the top.

She wants to become the top, she wants to stand at the top of the pyramid in the entire industry, look down on all living beings, and enjoy the worship of the world.

Naturally, this is very difficult and challenging.

But others can succeed, why can't she? Han Xiaoman's eyes saw a flame, "Uncle, is the director still staying in the hotel?"

"It should be ......"

Han Yi nodded, "When I came out just now, I asked him if he wanted to go shopping on the street together, and he refused." ”

"Huh!"

Han Xiaoman was helpless, pointing to the dense crowd, "Uncle, why are people and people different." You see, how many filmmakers come here at their own expense, bringing their own works, and working hard to sell them to tourists, hoping that someone will take a look. ”

As for the director, with his fame, he casually went to the wine banquet and tea party held by the film company, but he hated the trouble, and would rather stay in the house to bask in the sun than go out for a walk. ”

Han Xiaoman hated it, "It's strange that such a salted fish attitude can win awards." ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Han Yi thought so, "It's too lazy." ”

"It's not lazy, it's willful. ”

Han Xiaoman complained, "If our movie is not good, and he breaks the jar, I won't say anything." The problem is, I watched the movie as a finished film...... It should be good. ”

"Good is good, what should be?" Han Yi questioned.

“...... I think well, who knows if the judges feel that way. ”

Han Xiaoman glanced at him, "Don't interrupt, listen to me." Not only do I think it's good, but others also agree that the film will definitely win the award......"

"Hey, hey!"

Han Yi muttered in a low voice, "The director who makes bad movies also thinks that his movie can sweep the three awards and explode at the box office." ”

Han Xiaoman's eyebrows raised, "What did you say?"

"Ah, no, didn't say anything. ”

Han Yi immediately changed his words, "I mean, since the quality of the movie is guaranteed, the director will be so confident and not moving." ”

"Hmph, that's all right. ”

Han Xiaoman was worried, "But now, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys." If it is not properly publicized and promoted, who knows about this movie?"

"Look ......"

She pointed to a nearby tall building.

On one side of the building, a huge poster stands out, which is a promotional advertisement for a movie.

In addition, there are also some hotel lobbies and doorways, where information about different movies is posted everywhere. Don't think that it's the propaganda of literary films. In fact, those who are willing to spend money on advertising are basically commercial blockbusters.

After all, a lively film festival is not only an event for selection and competition, but also a market exhibition for the whole world.

During the event, films from all over the world can be exhibited here, which is equivalent to publicity. So every year, some filmmakers criticize the festival for being too commercial, but it is ignored by the organizers.

Nonsense, if the commercial elements of the film festival are insufficient, where is the money, and how can such a grand and lively event drive the development of the local economy?

Therefore, the purpose of the film festival is only one of the awards.

Another purpose is to trade copyrights.

The combination of the two functions has created a prosperous film festival.

All in all, the gathering of studios and tourists from all over the world is a rare opportunity for exposure for every film.

Not only commercial films, but also the works of some literary film directors also need to be advertised.

Don't think that if you make literary films, you can't become a great director.

In fact, literary film directors have won more awards and become famous, no matter how niche the works they make, there are still filmmakers who are willing to pay.

Over time, with commercial value, he naturally became a great director.

Therefore, some people feel that literature and art are incompatible with commerce, which is pure wishful thinking.

In essence, there is no difference between the two, both are commodities.

It's just that this audience is different.

It is another thing to elevate commodities to the level of art and give them more social significance.

Anyway, the attribute of movies is to entertain the audience.

If one day, this property disappears.

Does it still have a purpose to exist?

......

Han Yi glanced around in the direction Han Xiaoman pointed, and naturally understood what she wanted to say. He shrugged his shoulders, "Xiaoman, it's useless for you to tell me, you go and tell the director." ”

"Hmph, just say it. Han Xiaoman immediately turned around.

"Eh, aren't you shopping?" Han Yi stretched out his hand and called.

Han Xiaoman didn't respond and left directly.

Han Yi could only look regretfully at the coolly dressed beauties in the streets and alleys, sighed regretfully, and hurriedly followed Han Xiaoman's footsteps.

Back to the hotel, on the way to the independent courtyard.

Han Yi persuaded in a low voice, "Xiaoman, don't be impulsive, you have something to say." Even if you want to say it, you have to be tactful, do you know ......"

Han Xiaoman had a cold face and didn't say a word.

Han Yi frowned, he was really afraid that her temper would come up and she would get angry at Zhou Mu.

Soon, the two arrived at the small courtyard and found the gate open.

Are there any guests?

The two looked at each other, rang the doorbell, and then walked inside, walking along the cobblestone path into the living room.

Wow.

In the living room, in addition to Zhou Mu, there was another person.

Han Yi recognized that it was Yu Nian.

He also came......

Han Yi was taken aback, and with a little worry, he hurriedly looked at Han Xiaoman, afraid that she would be reckless of all the consequences......

At first glance, he was a little dumbfounded.

I saw that at this time, Han Xiaoman, who was still cold-faced and gloomy on the road, suddenly changed as if he was a different person, with a gorgeous smile like a flower. The expression should be as bright as it is, just like the flowers outside the house, beautiful and colorful.

"Director Zhou, Director Yu. ”

The sound is very pleasant, tactful and melodious, more moist than a wind chime.

“...... You're back. ”

Zhou Mu looked up, casually led their hands and asked them to come and sit down. Han Xiaoman stepped forward with a happy face, and then sat in the side corner in a proper manner.

“......”

Han Yi's lips moved, and in the end, he didn't say anything, and sat down.

Zhou Mu poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and asked casually, "Didn't you say that you would go shopping and come back so soon?"

"Actually......"

Before Han Yi could speak, he was interrupted by Han Xiaoman.

She smiled heartily, her eyes were slightly curved like stars and moons, "There are too many tourists, crowded and noisy, so I just came back." ”

Zhou Mu smiled: "Haha, I expected this to happen, so I would rather stay in the hotel and blow the air conditioner than go out to suffer." ”

"It's still the director's foresight. Han Xiaoman complimented.

Han Yi was in a complicated mood, and he stopped talking.

Hey, forget it, forget it, don't say more.

In my impression, the innocent and lovely little niece has grown up after all.
