Chapter 23 Applying for the Film Festival
In mid-July, Tang An came to China Film again with the finished film in the later stage, leaving a backup.
Then I found a cheap house in the 5th Ring Road, so that the landlord agreed to pay one and the rent could be settled every month.
There were beds and tables in the room, gas canisters and gas stoves, and some toiletries Tang An had in his backpack, so he went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some food and made himself a "hearty" lunch.
Tomato egg soup, stir-fried meat with green peppers, homemade tofu, and fried saury.
Fortunately, the food was still very cheap at this time, and this nutritious lunch of meat, eggs, vegetables, soy products, and fish cost less than 10 yuan.
Tang An, who has eaten fast food for more than half a month, eliminated the 3 big names in 5 minutes, if he didn't have to leave some food to eat at night, it is estimated that the plate would be licked clean.
I also left a little green pepper fried meat and tofu, and put a basin of well water in it to prevent it from spoiling.
The movie was released at the end of September, and there were still two months to go, and Tang An was in time to go abroad to participate in a film festival "gilded".
After recalling the 15 international A-category film festivals, it seems that there are only a few options to be held in August and September: Venice International Film Festival in Italy, Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czech Republic, San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, Montreal International Film Festival in Canada, and Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland.
The first one is excluded, although the names of the three are well-known, but they pay too much attention to artistry, and the certainty of being shortlisted is not great.
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic can only have two entries from each country and region, and China Film must come forward to sign up in China, otherwise it will not respect the overall situation and destroy unity, and it will also be passed.
After thinking about it, the three decided on the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, after all, almost no one in Switzerland has heard of it in China, and the Montreal International Film Festival is mainly used as a trading platform, which is not useful to Tang An, after all, overseas copyright has nothing to do with him.
However, eggs can't be put in one basket, and Tang An decided to drop off all three film festivals once, and it would be the best to participate in the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain.
In the days of waiting for news, Tang An also took a good rest.
After more than a month of shooting, half a month of editing, and more than half a month of special effects production, Rao is still a little unbearable for his still young body.
But he didn't go out to wave, after all, he was poor, Spain, Switzerland, and Canada were far away, and round-trip air tickets and accommodation were also an expense.
Originally, he had 4,000 yuan left on him, and he spent 600 yuan at one time after paying the rent for two months.
Now there are more than 3,000 points left, which is still saved by frugality.
Fortunately, 3,000 yuan is enough to buy two air tickets, otherwise you should look at the sky and cry.
However, just in case, Tang An still found a temporary job nearby to prevent himself from starving to death.
At the end of August, Tang An received a reply from the Montreal International Film Festival in Canada and the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, and finally chose to go to Spain after some consideration.
Next, Tang An called several airlines, and only then did he buy two cheaper round-trip tickets on a low-cost airline.
As the name suggests, low-cost airline tickets are much cheaper than other airfares, but they charge for luggage, meals and water on board, and even blankets.
That is, everything on the plane has to be purchased extra, and the seats are more crowded.
Two tickets, adding up to 2,000 yuan, most of the deposit disappeared.
Of course, you have to bring the heroine to the film festival, and after determining the time, Tang An took out his mobile phone and dialed Xu Ruoyun.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and a voice with surprise came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey. β
"Xu..."
"Ruoyun, how are you doing?" Tang An said with concern when he heard that her tone was obviously tired.
"I'm okay, it's Mi Mi's turn recently, I'm a little busy!"
Xu Ruoyun waited for more than two months, originally thought that Tang An would not contact her again, but suddenly received a call, a little excited.
"You... Why did you call me all of a sudden, is there something wrong?"
Tang An is not an emotional idiot, and he can't understand what's going on when he listens to the words on his phone with a little bit of a little daughter's posture.
It seems that Xu Ruoyun has a little bit of meaning to herself, and it is not a simple friend relationship.
This is a little embarrassing, he was still depressed when Xu Ruoyun was depressed, and drank some wine, purely to vent.
After all, he was just a man at the time, so he couldn't let her go to Yang Mi.
"That's the case, I don't have Mr. Li's phone number, you can help me tell Mr. Li, "Shark Beach" was shortlisted for the best feature film and audience selection at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, I want Yang Mi to go to the film festival together, it's inconvenient to ask Mr. Li!" Tang An said stubbornly.
Foreign film festivals have the advantage that they don't care if you are famous or not, as long as the film is appetizing, you can get nominations.
That's why later, there were many actors I didn't know at all who won "international awards".
In fact, there is no use for eggs, just the heat of about 1 month, and it will be cold after frying.
"Oh, that's right!"
Xu Ruoyun on the other end of the phone was a little disappointed, and then smiled again, "Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Li later, and I'll call you back later." β
"Well, good!"
The two were silent for a moment, and Tang An felt that he should say something, otherwise he would become a ruthless, unjust, and ruthless "scum".
"That, I've been busy with movies recently, and now the post-production special effects have been completed, and they are scheduled to be released on the National Day. β
chatted for five or six minutes, until Xu Ruoyun seemed to be calling her, and then hung up the phone.
Alas!
For a month and a half, during the filming, in the face of Yang Mi, a big star in the future, Tang An did not move at all.
Originally, with his image and ability, it was easy to soak a 17-year-old girl.
But Tang An didn't, he didn't have time to fall in love with a little girl, and it would also affect Yang Mi's state.
A girl in love can perfectly interpret that state of fear?
It's even worse if you ignore it after you finish it!
......
It wasn't until two hours later that Tang An received a call and told Xu Ruoyun the time and flight.
The next step is to get dressed, so don't wear a T-shirt, jeans, or jacket.
However, he couldn't afford a brand-name suit, so Tang An ordered a suit in a small shop nearby.
It was opened by an old man, who is said to have been a senior worker in a former garment factory.
Handmade, inexpensive, three-piece set is more than 100 yuan.
Leather shoes bought a pair of finishing shoes at the vegetable market, the style is not too old, but it is definitely sturdy.
There is no brand to force the style, Versace, Armani, Gucci or something are too vulgar!
