Chapter 24: To San Sebastian
On September 13, at the Beijing Capital Airport, Tang An was waiting at the airport gate wearing a handmade suit and leather shoes.
The San Sebastian International Film Festival starts on September 16 every year and lasts for 10 days, and it takes 12 hours to fly from the capital to Madrid, and then it takes 4 hours to take a bus from Madrid to San Sebastian, which must be passed a few days in advance.
didn't wait long, a car stopped in front of him, Yang Mi Mi and Xu Ruoyun got down from the back, and Li Xiaowan also followed from the co-pilot.
Before Tang An could catch up, Li Xiaowan stepped forward to greet him warmly.
"Director Tang!"
"Hello Mr. Li, please send them over in person!" Tang An nodded at the two girls and looked at Li Xiaowan with a smile.
"Director Tang was shortlisted for the Best Feature Film and the Audience Choice Award at the International A-category Film Festival at a young age, he is really young and promising, did I have any doubts about this movie at the beginning, but now I think about it, I really blush!"
Li Xiaowan is also worthy of being a human being, and the attitude she knew at the beginning was seen by Tang An, and it was clear that she didn't trust Tang An.
But thinking it's different now, I didn't expect Tang An's movie to be shortlisted for the international A-class film festival, which couldn't help but make Li Xiaowan look at it differently.
took the initiative to express his previous concerns, but it made both parties have a step down.
Tang An never took it to heart, in fact, in that situation, everyone would be suspicious.
"Mr. Li said seriously, it's just an ordinary film festival, and it doesn't matter if you win an award or not!"
Director Tang is modest, and now in addition to a few big directors in China, as well as those literary film directors who specialize in the European film market, there are very few people who can be nominated for international A-class film festivals. ”
"By the way, I heard that Lao Xu's film was also shortlisted for the Golden Shell Award and the Silver Shell Award for Best Director, and Huayi's Lu Chuan was also shortlisted for the Jury Award and the Best Feature Film Award.
Li Xiaowan sighed, coincidentally the three movies got together.
Xu Jingxiang's "Letter from a Strange Woman" and Lu Chuan's "Ke Ke Xili" were also shortlisted?
This Tang An really didn't know, except for the fact that he had just arrived in the capital and called Xu Jingfei.
Forget it, let's get in touch when you get to San Sebastian, it's not an international call anyway.
"Is Mr. Li going there this time?" Tang An looked at the time, it was not early, and there was still half an hour before the boarding time.
"I won't go, the company still has a lot of things, and I can rest assured that Director Tang is here. Li Xiaowan shook his head.
"It's almost time, Director Tang, let's go in, I'll go first, I wish you all a smooth journey and a smooth return from winning the award!"
"Let's go, go in and wait, if it's too late to get on the plane, it's too late to cry!" Tang An beckoned the two of them, stuffed the bag to Xu Ruoyun, and pushed the two small suitcases one by one towards the waiting area.
"Alas... Director, director!" the little girl Yang Mi trotted behind her.
"What's the matter?" Tang An glanced back at her.
"Director, are we going to walk the red carpet after we are shortlisted?" asked Yang Mi next to him.
"There will be. ”
"Will there be many reporters interviewing it, and there will be foreign journalists!"
"There should be. ”
"Am I going to be a big star?" asked the little girl, wistfully.
"It's still far from it!" Tang An ruthlessly punctured her illusions.
"It's just a nomination for a small award, even if you get a movie queen, it will maintain its popularity for a month or two, and then you still have to rely on the work to speak!"
"Ah......h
Yang Mi, who was ruthlessly hit, suddenly became sullen.
"Director Tang" At this time, Xu Ruoyun on the side spoke.
"Call me Tang An, now I haven't filmed anymore, and I'm not so particular!" Tang An smiled and said.
"Then director, what do I call you?" Yang Mi interjected again.
"Now that I'm not filming, I can't control you, just call it!"
"Hmm..."
Yang Mi thought for a while before saying, "Then call Brother An, okay?"
"It's up to you!" Tang An said casually.
"Is the movie finished now?" Xu Ruoyun said after what he had just said.
"If it's not done, I won't be able to take it to the film festival!" Tang An smiled.
"How did you get the special effects, did you find the investment?"
"China Film Group invested, and they also released it, and it will be released at the end of September, just daring to be on the National Day file. ”
"It costs a lot of money to make special effects, so won't your investment be diluted?" Xu Ruoyun said with some concern.
Tang An wears many hats and has been busy for more than a month, and Xu Ruoyun doesn't want to see him busy making wedding dresses for others in vain.
"Don't worry about this, I won't let myself suffer, it's not convenient to disclose the specifics, you'll know next month!" Tang An signaled to her not to worry.
Xu Ruoyun nodded, Tang An didn't look like a stupid person.
......
At 9:15 a.m., the plane took off on time and landed at 21 p.m. at Barajas Airport in Madrid, Spain, the thirteenth largest airport in the world.
The airport is 12 kilometers from the center of Madrid, and finally the airport staff reminded me to get on the bus from the airport to the small city of San Sebastian.
As one of the oldest film festivals in the world and the largest in Spain, it attracts a considerable number of filmmakers and fans every year.
For convenience, the organizers chartered more than a dozen buses directly from the bus company to and from San Sebastian and Madrid airports and railway stations.
Tang An did not have to pay for the car with the shortlisted letter, and the bus driver also gave 3 whole wheat bread and 3 cartons of milk.
After 4 hours, we arrived at our destination, San Sebastian, a small seaside town.
When it is said to be a city, it is actually similar to an ordinary township in China, except that the buildings look a little more modern.
As early as when he learned that he was shortlisted, Tang An booked a hotel on eLong.com, a single room and a double room.
After settling down, the three of them did not sleep immediately, and they had been sleeping bored on the plane and on the bus for almost a day.
After summing up the plan for the next two days, it wasn't until more than 3 o'clock in the morning that I began to feel sleepy, and I went back to my room.
The foreigner's hotel is actually not much better than the domestic one, small and broken, fortunately the toilet is separate, you can take a shower.
As soon as Tang An finished taking a shower, he heard a slight knock at the door, and after thinking about it, he opened the door.
Xu Ruoyun stood at the door prettyly, her hair hadn't been dried yet, her face was steaming, obviously she had just taken a shower.
"Don't sleep yet!" Tang An let go and invited her in.
After Xu Ruoyun came in, he looked at Tang An like this, "Mi Mi is already asleep!"
"Why don't you blow dry your hair, this seaside is a little cooler than the inland, don't catch a cold!"
"I'll blow it for you!" Tang An pulled her to sit down on the bed, brought a hair dryer and blew it not very skillfully.
It's inconvenient to have long hair, and it takes a few minutes to blow your hair.
The temperature of the hair dryer dispelled the coolness of the night, and the hearts of the lonely men and widows became hot.
Naturally, he fell on the bed, and in this foreign land, he released the passion that had accumulated in his heart.
