"Because "Yanjing Meets Seattle" was shortlisted for the competition unit, it is normal to have a seat arrangement at the front. Chen Yunfei said.

"There is also the light of Ya Qian, Ya Qian is the Berlin actress and must be at the front, and Shen Qiushan is a member of the same group as her after all, so she naturally has to be arranged together. Chu Feng said.

Both men found a reason why Shen Qiushan was able to sit in front, which could be regarded as regaining his face in front of Chenxi.

"Hmph, even if you sit in the front, it's not an accompaniment!" Chenxi snorted disdainfully, she was Chi Guoguo's jealousy.

"The Tokyo Film Festival has always looked down on our Chinese films, and the probability of winning the award is indeed very low. Chu Feng was telling the truth, and he also very much hoped that this time Shen Qiushan would return empty-handed like many previous Chinese directors.

Chen Yunfei didn't say anything, he was naturally hostile to Shen Qiushan in his heart, after all, he "robbed" Qin Yaqian, and the new work of the two is very likely to be released at the same time, both public and private, he can't face Shen Qiushan normally.

Shen Qiushan and Qin Yaqian, who were already in front, naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the three of them, and at this moment, the two of them had already come to the first row under the guidance of the staff.

That's right, it's the first row.

In fact, the arrangement of the main committee is similar to what Chen Yunfei and Chu Feng guessed, Qin Yaqian, as the queen of the Berlin Film Festival, has no problem sitting in the first row from the coffee seat, as for Shen Qiushan, after all, she is Qin Yaqian's "companion", both of them came to the scene because "Yanjing Meets Seattle" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, of course the main committee can't separate the seats of the two, so Shen Qiushan, a director who is not well-known in the world, also mixed in the first row of big names with Qin Yaqian's light.

"Ya Qian, Brother Shen, haha, I have already seen that our seats are connected. ”

Although Shen Qiushan and Qin Yaqian's seats were in the first row, they were still a little leaning to the sides, and the two of them were still two or three meters away from the seats, and a middle-aged man got up with a smile on his face and greeted them.

This man Shen Qiushan recognized that he was Xiang Feilong, a well-known action superstar in China, and the other party also gave the premiere of "Yanjing Meets Seattle".

"Brother Long, it's been a long time. ”

Shen Qiushan and Xiang Feilong have no friendship, but he is Shen Qiuming's "senior brother", so he only went to support Shen Qiushan at the beginning, and he can be regarded as a noble person who pulled Shen Qiushan in times of crisis, so Shen Qiushan is still very enthusiastic when he sees him here.

"yes, the last time we saw each other was the premiere of your new play. Xiang Feilong shook hands with Shen Qiushan warmly, and then exchanged a few words of greeting with Qin Yaqian.

"Come, Brother Shen, I'll introduce you to a friend. ”

Xiang Feilong pulled Shen Qiushan to the seat of the two, and a beautiful woman in a black evening dress stood up from her seat.

This woman Shen Qiushan "recognizes", her name is Tang Man, and she is also an international actress, and her qualifications are older than Qin Yaqian, but the real Shen Qiushan is the first time she has seen her.

"Xiao Man, Brother Shen, you should know. Xiang Feilong pointed at Tang Man and said with a smile.

"Of course, I have long admired Miss Tang's name. Shen Qiushan greeted with a smile on his face.

"Director Shen is good. Tang Man nodded slightly, but there was no expression on his face.

"Miss Tang herself is even more beautiful than in the camera. Shen Qiushan politely complimented again.

"Thank you. Tang Man opened his mouth lightly, giving people a lukewarm feeling, and it seemed that he didn't take Shen Qiushan, an "unknown" director, in his eyes.

Seeing that the other party had a cold attitude, Shen Qiushan stopped looking for himself and was bored, smiled politely, and then continued to talk with Xiang Feilong.

There are many Chinese stars who came to the awards ceremony of this Tokyo International Film Festival, but those sitting in the first row are Xiang Feilong, Tang Man, Qin Yaqian and Shen Qiushan.

In fact, there are still a lot of superstars in Huaxia who are qualified to sit in the first row, but they didn't come this time, some because no works were shortlisted, and some didn't like to join in the fun.

Domestic.

The news that the Tokyo International Film Festival Awards Ceremony is about to start has appeared in the major news media, but the attention is average, because domestic film works rarely win awards at the "East Film Festival", so it has also led to the public has little expectation for this international film festival held in neighboring countries.

However, after the pictures of Shen Qiushan and Qin Yaqian appearing on the red carpet of the Tokyo International Film Festival were exposed by the domestic media, the attention of the Tokyo International Film Festival in China has also increased a lot, because netizens are very curious.

"Uncle Shan and Qin Tianhou actually went to the Tokyo International Film Festival?

""Yanjing Meets Seattle" has entered the final competition unit, and it is not impossible to win the award!"

"We won a woolen award, we have won some awards at the Berlin and Cannes Film Festivals, but how many people have won the awards at the 'East Film Festival'? ?"

"There is nothing wrong with what I said upstairs, Uncle Shan estimates that he will accompany him when he goes, and it is not easy for our country's film works to win awards at the 'East Film Festival'. ”

"Alas, it would be nice if Uncle Shan could win an award, just let the so-called judges of the Jinhua Award and the Wanhua Award take a look!"

“……”

A villa in Yanjiao.

Huang Liang leaned on the sofa and drank tea, and his eldest son Huang Yu hurriedly walked over.

"Dad, Shen Qiushan went to the Tokyo International Film Festival. Huang Yu said.

"Isn't it boring to go to the 'East Film Festival'?"

But his work "Yanjing Meets Seattle" entered the main competition unit, and he had the opportunity to select the best film and the award for the best film. Huang Yu frowned.

Huang Liang laughed, shook his head, and said: "Are there still few movies in our country that have entered the main competition unit? But how many can win the trophy in the end? The Japanese like to play this kind of routine!!"

"That's right. Huang Yu nodded, with a worried look on his face: "It's just that if he really wins an award in Tokyo, we don't look good on our faces." ”

"Don't worry, there is no case!" Huang Liang waved his hand: "He is just running away!"

"It should be. Huang Yu was naturally not optimistic about Shen Qiushan in his heart, but he had a little concern.

The scene of the awards ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival.

The lights in the auditorium gradually dimmed, the awards ceremony was about to begin, and the originally noisy scene slowly became quiet.

Seven thirty.

Two hosts, a man and a woman, appeared on the stage of the awards ceremony, they spoke Japanese, so Shen Qiushan and Qin Yaqian couldn't understand it at all, Xiang Feilong next to him had developed in Japan for a while, and he knew a little about Japanese, and translated important information to Shen Qiushan from time to time.

After a not-so-short opening remarks, the awards ceremony officially began, and groups of awarders took the stage in turn and began to award some not-so-important awards, but with the announcement of one award after another, people found that the award-winning works of this year's Tokyo International Film Festival were not concentrated in Japan's own films as in the past, but in full bloom, and even a film submitted by West Asia won an award.

"This year's 'East Film Festival' is a little different?" Tang Man, who has always had a cold attitude, suddenly opened his mouth.

"That's because most of the award-winning works of the previous 'East Film Festival' were Japanese works, so they have been criticized and their international influence has been declining, so this year's 'East Film Festival' jury has been greatly expanded, and the proportion of foreign judges has been increased, which is the result. Xiang Feilong explained in a low voice.

"That's good news, maybe our film will win an award. Tang Man had a rare smile on her face, and the movie "Flying Tigers in Hong Kong City" she collaborated with Xiang Feilong also entered the main competition unit, and also won several "small awards" nominations.

"Hopefully. Xiang Feilong is the director and starring actor of "Flying Tigers in Hong Kong City", and of course he also hopes that his work will win awards.

It's just that the next few awards nominated for "Hong Kong City Flying Tiger" have been awarded one after another, but "Hong Kong City Flying Tiger" has won nothing, so Xiang Feilong and Tang Man are also a little disappointed.

"Next, we will present the category awards, the best romance film, and we will invite our award presenters Jiro Oda and Alice. ”

All the films participating in the competition are divided into eight categories, such as romance, suspense, comedy, horror, and literature and art, and each category will select the best film award in a part of the category, which does not conflict with the final best film.

"Brother Shen, your movie seems to have a nomination. Xiang Feilong stretched out his hand and patted Shen Qiushan on the shoulder: "I hope you can win the award and fight for our Chinese films!"

Xiang Feilong's words came from the heart, because as of the award ceremony, although the country of award-winning works is full of flowers, no Chinese film has won the award.

"I hope too. Shen Qiushan smiled and nodded, everyone is here, of course it is the best to win the award.

Stage.

The two award presenters began to announce the nominated works, and there were eight shortlisted works, which came from seven different countries, which shows that this 'East Film Festival' has really changed the "problem" of the past.

Among the eight works, the most popular awards were the Japanese local work "*** Day" and the Korean romance film "The World is Ours", and when the award presenters read the names of the two works, the eyes of the creative team members of the two works sitting in the audience were full of anticipation.

Alice carefully took out the final result from the envelope, she is an actress from the United States, speaking fluent American English: "Oh, the name of this award-winning movie actually has the name of our country. ”

Alice sold a pass, but didn't give everyone at the scene much time to react, and directly announced: "Yes, the work that won the best romance film is "Yanjing Meets Seattle"!!"
