Chapter 80: Movies Are Waiting
"Hey, Mr. Chen, "Crazy Stone" has been finished and edited, when will you return to China?"
Chen Xiao calculated, it has been more than a month since the filming of "Stone" started, and according to Wan Yushan's filming method, it is indeed time to end.
"Director Wan, I'll be on the plane early tomorrow morning, you can keep an eye on the editing first, and if there are other things, I'll talk about it when I go back. ”
"Good!"
Chen Xiao found that either there was nothing at all, or there were a lot of things.
But fortunately, he is only an investor in "Stone", and then he is a screenwriter.
So the burden of some film publicity falls on Wan Yushan, for example, if a premiere is held, it doesn't matter if he doesn't participate as a screenwriter.
However, he is the boss behind the scenes, so after the movie is edited, it still has to be watched through his eyes.
Although the Fantastic Film Festival is a relatively out-of-the-way film festival, it is also compared to a film festival like Cannes, in fact, the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival is still very popular.
It can be seen just by looking at the audience who was stopped outside.
"Director Chen, there are really a lot of people here. ”
"It's always human nature to join in the fun, not to mention that there are so many stars here, and the fan effect is still very powerful. ”
Walking on the red carpet is naturally not able to walk through, of course, you have to take a car to go there, and then drive to the venue and get off directly, which is what a star should have.
However, the car was arranged by the organizing committee, and private cars could not enter.
Yunshang arrived in the Netherlands today, and she came to attend the awards ceremony to see and know, Chen Xiao naturally did not refuse, as the heroine of "Comet", this is also very reasonable.
"It's a pity that there is no domestic media. Yunshang had some regrets.
"It's okay, just come here for a tour, usually you don't have such a good opportunity. ”
"Director Chen, I heard that your new movie has been completed, I wish you a box office hit!"
"Well said. ”
"Director Chen, do you think our film can win awards, I heard that the box office is very good in the United States now. ”
"The box office is good, mainly because the publicity is good. ”
Chen Xiao praised himself without a trace.
"Yes, yes, I've seen some media reports that say you're a genius director, and you're highly rated. ”
He felt very comfortable listening to Yunsheng's words, this is a qualified listener.
He can also see that Yunshang should have been doing very well recently.
Sometimes, if you get started well, it is still easy to develop in this circle.
Now that "Comet" has begun to explode, Yunshang's status has also risen, and the whole person has become a lot more lively, and the conversation has basically not stopped along the way.
"Alright, it's our turn. ”
The car lined up and drove in, and Chen Xiao and Yunshang got out of the car in turn.
The surrounding audience didn't care who it was, whether they recognized it or not, and stretched out a lot of pens and notebooks, begging for autographs.
Yunshang didn't expect someone to ask for her autograph, she looked at Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao nodded to her, and Yunshang happily ran to sign for others.
There are also cameras filming this scene.
It's not on the red carpet yet, so if you delay a little time to sign autographs, no one will rush them.
Chen Xiao watched quietly from the side.
Soon Yunshang ran over, and then took Chen Xiao's hand and walked into the red carpet.
The red dress that Yunshang is wearing today is like a red flower under the hot sun, which is very eye-catching.
'Papapa~'
Countless flashes of light converged on her body to record the girl's dazzling moments.
"Would you like to stop and take a few more pictures?"
Chen Xiao asked.
"No need!"
Yunshang participated in the red carpet for the first time, and her whole little face was a little red with excitement, and she suddenly understood why some stars had to try their best to participate in the red carpet even if they were not nominated for the award.
It's an intoxicating feeling.
But she still rejected Chen Xiao's suggestion and walked the red carpet with him.
"Director Chen, why don't I see you excited at all?"
"Actually, I'm happy, but I didn't show it. ”
"Oh?
"In fact, you have to remember that the red carpet is the glory and affirmation of a star application, but if you are good enough, then even if there is no red carpet, there will be red carpets everywhere. ”
"Well, I remember. ”
Yunshang nodded seriously.
Chen Xiao looked at this girl, this is too easy to fool, it's really simple.
Soon the award ceremony began.
Fantasy Film Festival, what stands out is the word 'strange', this kind of film production is very important, but the most important thing is the brain.
If you don't make it to the Fantasy Film Festival, you never know how many weird movies there are in a year.
This is only for the shortlisted, and those films that are not shortlisted are even more unknown.
The Black Tulip Award was announced.
Yunshang looked at the big screen nervously, and finally froze in "The Night the Comet Comed"!
"Ahh
Yunshang exclaimed in surprise: "Gotta ...... Won the prize!!"
She didn't expect that the small workshop movie she interviewed at the beginning would continue to create miracles until now, and now, she has finally won the first award.
"Director Chen, hurry up and receive the award. ”
Chen Xiao looked at Yunsheng, a little speechless, the award couldn't run on the stage, what was the hurry.
Still, he straightened his outfit and walked up to the podium.
The audience's eyes also focused on Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao took the trophy and took the host's microphone, and he looked at the audience:
"Some people say that cinema is all about waiting.
If you want to make a movie, but you don't have a good script, wait.
If you have a good script, but don't invest in it, wait.
If you have a good script and investment, but the actors you choose are not willing to act, continue to wait. ”
There are many directors off the field, and Chen Xiao's words little by little, seem to have entered the hearts of these people.
Yes, even if you are a good director, without funds, scripts, and actors, how can you shoot.
Those directors who are already famous forget it.
Especially for those little directors, every condition is like a ravine.
Sometimes they have already found a good investment, but they can't find a good actor, and in the end, they can only lose this opportunity in vain.
Cinema is all about waiting.
The young man on the stage used a simple sentence to express the sadness behind the director.
can't help but think of this "Comet", which should also be very difficult to film.
"When I was filming Comet, I had just graduated, and I had no script, no investment, and no actors.
So I wrote a book, and after it was published, I got $100,000 in start-up funding, and I didn't have a script, so I wrote a script myself.
I didn't have the money to hire actors, so I had to hire a few less well-known actors at a low price. ”
Speaking of which, the audience already knows the background of the creation of "Comet".
Nothing can be said about it.
If it fails, needless to say, it will definitely become a negative teaching material in the film industry.
However, since Chen Xiao is standing here now, he must have succeeded, and he can even become a classic learning example.
His speech was not over, but there was a sudden burst of applause from the audience.
At first it was one, then it got bigger and bigger.
This is an affirmation of Chen Xiao and an encouragement to himself.
