Fang Yan didn't sleep until 5 a.m., and at 8 a.m., he was woken up by a phone call.

Shen Boyuan roared at the other end of the conversation: "Have you watched the news? Watch the news! You still dare to sleep? Believe it or not, I will fly to Jiangdong to kill you now!"

“……”

Fang Yan thought, Shen Boyuan is crazy. After hanging up the phone, he saw a series of messages in WeChat, starting from the early hours of the morning, one after another.

An explosive piece of news.

On May 29, the 70th Cannes Film Festival closed, and Huaxiaguo's "Walking Street" won the Best Short Film Award. After "Farewell My Concubine" in 1993, Huaxia won the Palme d'Or for the second time in more than 20 years!

Walking Street Cannes?

Fang Yan turned over and lay on the bed to watch the news slowly.

There is a video inserted in the script, which is the 28-minute video of myself singing on the pedestrian street. Next is the director's profile, Wang Yu, 27 years old, a famous young director in China, graduated from Jiangdong Film Academy. There is also a photo in which Wang Yu looks at the camera with an innocent face.

Wang Yu, isn't this the waiter with a gloomy face in the tavern?

The manuscript reads: ""Walking Street" won the Best Short Film Award without any suspense, which is also the biggest surprise of this year's film festival. followed by a bunch of words, Fang Yan was too lazy to read them, and the manuscript also quoted a bunch of comments.

Cannes official: "A new level of minimalism. Calm recording is the highest form of art. ”

Le Figaro: "Music is the terminator of metaphors." ”

The Sun: "In 28 minutes, the world was eclipsed. ”

The New York Times Twitter: "Postmodern New Classics." The perfect balance of sophistication and simplicity. ”

Film critic Michel Rewak: "The streets of the Far East are full of historical illusions. There is a harsh reality lurking behind the music. ”

Rachel, reporter for The Hollywood Reporter: "The sight of 1,000 people crying, laughing, cheering, and applauding at the same time in a movie theater will forever be in my heart. I remembered a street in the Far East, where many people's hearts were home. ”

“……”

Fang Yan had watched the video of "Walking Street", and he couldn't understand these words at all. I've just sung a few songs, as for it?

"Walking Street" won the award, which attracted the attention of a number of distributors, and the copyright is being negotiated.

The Cannes Film Festival has been held for 70 years, and its influence is very strong, and it has a very strong commercial atmosphere. In addition to competitions and screenings, it is also a huge market for film transactions.

The Palme d'Or is very golden, and it is inclusive, and there is anything to do.

It's no surprise that Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," Kusturica's "Underground," and Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver" can win awards, but it's also a mess of films like "Three Weeks and Two Days in April," "Elephant" and "Fahrenheit 911."

In fact, the gold content of the Palme d'Or is by no means worse than the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Foreign Language Film, maybe a little higher.

Fang Yan was pondering, and Lao Liu called: "Xiao Yan, don't come to the tavern these days." ”

"What's wrong?"

Lao Liu's voice was very urgent, as if he was facing some danger: "Cannes! Those reporters can't find you, and now they are all gathered outside the tavern and smashed the door for a long time." I called the police and the police said it was a public place and they didn't care. ”

“……”

"Don't come! go out and hide, and now you will die in the tavern." , now I'm on the second floor, downstairs with a group of reporters, screaming, like a zombie movie. ”

"Okay. ”

"This time it's different from last time, I can't bear it. You go to the countryside and hide!" Lao Liu finished speaking and hung up the phone.

“……”

Fang Yan wanted to ask Lao Liu, who is this director Wang Yu.

Wang Yu went to the hospital. In the middle of the night, he watched the live broadcast of Cannes on his computer, and as soon as the Best Short Film award was announced, he fainted. Several of his friends took him to the hospital emergency room, and now he sits alone in the infusion room, on an intravenous drip.

All morning, he was still dizzy, like Fan Jin, who was lifting.

The movie dream that I had been struggling with for 5 years came true with a video I took with my iPhone on the street. Wang Yu looked at the words "famous young director in China" in the news, and the joy was endless.

It doesn't matter if you make money or not, I can make movies. Hahaha...... Woooooooo

Wang Yu cried.

The second big winner in this matter is Galaxy Video. Xiaomu spent 50,000 yuan to buy the online copyright of "Walking Street" before, and now he has made a lot of money.

Ninety-nine percent of Galaxy Video's visitors were from China, but after the Cannes Film Festival closed, visitors from all over the country flocked to the Walking Street video to find out.

Soon, "Walking Street" was reposted on YouTube, and the number of views instantly exceeded 100,000, causing netizens from all over the world to pursue it wildly.

"Hehe, Google, you have today. Wang Yang, the entertainment director of Galaxy Video, smiled.

Galaxy Video's legal department has formed a special team to keep the evidence of piracy on YouTube, endure it, and sue YouTube for infringement when the number of hits exceeds 10 million.

After thinking about it, Wang Yang called Xiaomu again.

"Okay, don't worry, Mr. Wang. Xiaomu hung up the phone, walked into the emergency infusion hall of the hospital, and looked at Wang Yu: "Director, don't get an infusion, you're not sick at all." ”

"Oh. Brother Xiaomu, I invite you to dinner, as well as Fang Yan. ”

"What kind of food, we want to interview you ...... Galaxy Video"

"Oh. ”

At 2 p.m., the nameless tavern opens for business. Lao Liu finally went out and said with a smile to the reporters: "You don't have to wait, the wizard won't come today." Please don't get in the way of my business, thanks. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of reporters rushed into the tavern, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

What they were looking for was not Fang Yan, but Wang Yu.

Lao Liu is messy. It turned out that in the nameless tavern, there was also an undercover agent hiding. Lao Liu scolded: "Wang Yu, you meow here!"

"Oh. ”

Wang Yu lowered his eyebrows and went over to be trained. He didn't dare to argue with Lao Liu, for fear of being expelled, and he would no longer be able to shoot Fang Yan.

"That's the general situation, I was wrong, Lao Liu. Let me stay, you can do whatever you want me to do. ”

Lao Liu sneered: "My temple is too small to fit a Buddha as big as you!"

"I just want to make documentaries. Lao Liu. Lao Liu. ”

“……”

"Lao Liu. ”

The reporters discovered an embarrassing fact. A talented director, winner of the Palme d'Or, and a promising star of Chinese cinema...... Actually working in a tavern.

And it's the waiter.

And the boss is still abusing him.

And he's been bowing his head and admitting his mistakes.

It's so poignant! Why, why, is this how this society treats our artists?

Wrong.

Journalists quickly realized that something was unusual.

It's not that Director Wang Yu is too miserable, but ...... Uh, the nameless tavern is awesome.

This inconspicuous tavern, even the signboard is crooked, but legends are born. The wizard sings here, the director works here, the diva records here, and a T-shirt makes a sensation all over the country. What the hell is going on?

The reporters took pictures one after another, interviewed Wang Yu, and tossed until the evening, before they dispersed contentedly. No one interviewed the wizard, and no one forced it.

Wang Yu is very honest and answers whatever he asks.

But he wasn't stupid, he was quite measured, and he didn't reveal any information about Fang Yan.

As soon as the reporter left, Lao Liu wanted to get rid of Wang Yu, but it was best to discuss this matter with Fang Yan first. He called and told him about the situation: "Xiaoyan, what do you say?"

"Let him slap it. Wang Yu didn't do anything bad. ”

"Oh......" Lao Liu decided to endure it, he paused and asked, "Where are you?"

"At Yuan Yuan School. ”

"If you're all right, go back to the tavern and sing, as if the danger has been lifted. ”

"Okay. ”

Fang Yan and Yuan Yuan held hands and wandered around the school. He felt that this matter had nothing to do with him.
