Chapter 64: Missed Opportunity

There is no accident that the short film "Man in the Box" won the championship of this year's Squirrel Network Short Film Grand Prix with a high score of 95 points!

When Lu Shu announced the news, Mu Ye hugged and cheered with the excited Xie Baoju and Xu Tao.

Although only the director award was set up in this grand prix, as the leading actor of this short film, Mu Ye is naturally honored!

Watching Xie Baoju take the podium and receive the trophy for the best short film director in Lin Changhong's hand and the huge check symbolizing the one million prize, Mu Ye was also excited from the bottom of his heart!

This glory has his efforts!

"Good evening, everyone, I'm Xie Baoju.

It's an honor to have the opportunity to compete with so many wonderful peers.

It is even more honorable to be able to stand on this stage and receive the trophy that symbolizes the championship.

Here, I would like to thank all the judges for their appreciation, this trophy is the greatest affirmation of my directorial career.

Of course, the works of every colleague present are very wonderful, and I am just a little more lucky than you!

Luckily I met a good script, a good actor......"

On the stage, Xie Baoju said his acceptance speech and looked in the direction of Xu Tao and Mu Ye.

"Thanks to Mr. Xu Tao, the screenwriter of "Man in a Box", without his unbridled imagination and creativity, this wonderful short film would not have been possible!

At the same time, I would also like to thank Mr. Muno, the star of "Man in the Box", without his superb and realistic performance, this short film would not have been able to reach its current level!

I would like to thank the members of the crew for your support and trust......"

Mu Ye and Xu Tao applauded, and they also felt a little emotional in their hearts!

Although the shooting time is a bit short, during the shooting, everyone worked hard and struggled for the same goal, which is really good!

In the warm atmosphere of the scene, the short film Grand Prix came to an end.

After the award ceremony, Xie Baoju was invited to have further exchanges with several judges!

Xie Baoju, who won the championship, walked into the office with excitement and still thanked Lu Shu, Lin Changhong and others.

Lin Changhong smiled and waved his hand and said: "This is what you should get, there is no need to thank us, this short film is indeed good!"

"Yes, especially the two reversals in the end, they are very amazing and shocking!" Lin Jian, as a screenwriter, naturally paid more attention to the script, and he said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Xu Tao, the screenwriter of the short film, is here, I want to communicate with him!"

Being able to get acquainted with Lin Jian, the leading screenwriter in China, is an opportunity for Xu Tao.

Xie Baoju naturally did not hesitate, and immediately gave him Xu Tao's contact information.

"Your shooting technique is very orthodox, according to the rules of the Grand Prix, you can be an assistant to my crew, I don't know if you are interested!" Lin Changhong said with a smile.

Xie Baoju was overjoyed, didn't he come to participate in this Grand Prix for this opportunity to learn!

If the family comes forward, they can naturally arrange for him to follow the crew, but after all, this has to be a favor.

The old man is already in a semi-retired state at this time, and this favor is a little less.

What's more, this time he got this opportunity with his own strength, and of course he would not refuse: "Of course, this is my honor!"

"By the way, is there a leading actor in the short film?" asked Yan Ying's Gao Chengfeng with a smile.

"Yes, he came with me, Mr. Gao, are you looking for him?" Xie Baoju nodded and said.

"I want to ask, where does that young man come from, his acting skills are very good!" Gao Chengfeng laughed.

Xie Baoju is also happy for Mu Ye in his heart, as a junior brother, with the wonderful performance of "The Man in the Box", he can be regarded as entering the field of vision of some people!

Although the influence is still very small, this represents an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the entertainment industry!

"He's my junior and has just finished his freshman year!" Xie Baoju said.

"It's only been a school year to have such acting skills, it's really a good seedling! Which school is it?" Lin Changhong asked with a smile.

For Mu Ye, he is also quite optimistic, and it is indeed rare to have such acting skills at this age.

"We are from Yan Opera, of course, I am from the directing department, and Mu Ye is from the acting department. Xie Baoju said.

"Yan opera can also be ......," Gao Chengfeng said sullenly.

He was still thinking about whether there was a chance to poach Mu Ye to Yanying, after all, a good actor has a great positive publicity effect on the school.

But as soon as he heard that the other party was Yan Xi, he knew that this idea was no fun!

In China, Yan Opera, like Yan Ying, belongs to the first-grade art academy, but it belongs to competition.

The two schools have different professional focuses, but their status is almost the same.

If you want the students of Yan Opera to transfer to Yan Ying, whether the students are willing to say anything else is not feasible in operation.

Lu Shu and the others could naturally guess Gao Chengfeng's thoughts, and when they saw that he was depressed, they were also snickering in their hearts.

Hearing that Mu Ye was from Yan Opera, Lin Changhong was also stunned.

He originally thought that there was a role in the new drama that was quite suitable for Mu Ye, and he also wanted to give him this opportunity.

However, Mu Ye is a freshman in Yan Opera...... That's a bit tricky!

Unlike Yan Ying, Yan Opera has strict rules for acting students.

Basically, freshmen and sophomores are not allowed to go out to take on the play, this is to hope that students can learn to perform well more systematically, instead of going out half-hearted to embarrass the school.

Of course, if the student must ask for leave, it is not impossible, but whether the credit can be obtained depends on the student's level, anyway, the class score is gone.

It's not that Lin Changhong can't negotiate with Yan Opera, it's just that there is not much need for a less important role in the play.

In this entertainment industry, there is a lack of everything, but there is no shortage of actors!

Xie Baoju seemed to have guessed something, and he was anxious for Mu Ye in his heart, and stepped forward and said: "Is there anything Dao Lin is looking for Mu Ye, he is in the lounge, I will call him over!"

Lin Changhong waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since he is still in the learning stage, let him hone his acting well...... There is a lot to be done in the future!"

Xie Baoju felt a little regretful in his heart, he knew how important an opportunity was for newcomers, Mu Ye missed this opportunity, and he didn't know how long he would have to wait next time!

But at this time, he didn't have much right to speak, and he didn't want to say anything to disgust Director Lin, so he had to keep his mouth shut about it.

It left an impression on Lin Changhong, if there is a chance in the future, I will help Mu Ye talk about it!

On the other side, Mu Ye and Xu Tao were laughing and talking, unaware that they had missed an important opportunity.

The two were chatting enthusiastically, and Mu Ye's mobile phone rang, it was Cheng Zhou from the Douyin Operations Department.

What is he looking for himself? Mu Ye was a little puzzled and picked up the phone.

"Big brother...... Have you forgotten something?"
