On April 1, Di Yun suddenly received a call from Cai Mingliang.

has only collaborated on one movie, and has not cultivated much friendship, in fact, Di Yun does not dare to cultivate friendship with others, and for men with boyfriends, it is better to provoke less. So when I received the call, the greetings seemed very official and blunt.

After the greetings, Cai Mingliang didn't talk much nonsense and went straight to the point: "The 12th Singapore International Film Festival is about to open, and "Hole" will also be exhibited, I wonder if Mr. Di has time to participate in the exhibition, representing the crew?" ”

Singapore International Film Festival? The first time Di Yun heard someone mention it, he didn't have the slightest impression.

In fact, although the Singapore International Film Festival has the word international, compared with the three major international film festivals, it is like the difference between the royal palace on the main street and the small door in the deep alley. In an era when most domestic filmmakers are focusing on the three major European film festivals, it is not surprising that they have no impression of the Singapore International Film Festival.

I don't know if it's because of the lack of funds or other factors, but before the 11th edition, the awards set by the festival were very stingy, the silver screen award for best feature film, the best director award, the jury prize and the best performance award, and the best performance award will come and go. It was not until the twelfth session of this year that it was on par with other well-known international film festivals, and the awards were complete, and the best performance award was divided into two categories: best actor and best actress.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Di Yun as inextricable during this time, "A Sigh" is about to start filming, in order to try not to have a time conflict with "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" and reduce some of the travel between the two places, he asked for additional filming to catch up with the schedule during this time, and Lao Wang naturally did not allow him to ask for this kind of request, in fact, Lao Wang still misses the feeling of dying when he filmed with him, and agreed without thinking about it, so he almost sold it to the crew during this time.

I don't even have time to spend with my girlfriend, so how can I have time to go to the Singapore International Film Festival.

Would he go if he was idle? The answer is still no, if you have time, it is better to accompany Lao Xu to worry about soaring prices and currency depreciation, and what industry should I take out the money deposited in the bank to invest in to keep the value of this money steadily increasing.

"I'm sorry, I'm working on a movie during this time. I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time. Di Yun replied.

"Ha, it's okay, then I'll call Yang Guimei again to see if she has time."

Wait for him to hang up. Lao Xu asked, "Who?" ”

"Tsai Mingliang, a director on Taiwan Island, asked if he was going to attend a film festival in Singapore."

Lao Xu didn't have the heart to pay attention to such an unknown small film festival now, so he rubbed his eyebrows annoyed and said: "Three years ago, a skirt of the same material and style cost more than fifty yuan, and now it costs nearly three hundred." That is, the money has depreciated by five or six times unconsciously, although our savings have more than three million, but it is only equivalent to five or six hundred thousand a few years ago, and the number has become more, as if there are fewer things to buy, but poor. ”

In the past few days, Di Yun has been scared of her theory, knowing that her theory is a little biased, but she doesn't know where to refute it, and she has a headache when she mentions it.

"Hurry up and think of a way to invest your money to keep increasing in value with the market. It can't be put in the bank like this anymore. ”

Di Yun looked at his watch and said: "It's time, I'm going to the crew, you think about it, you can just make your own ideas about what to invest in." ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for her to react, she quickly left the house.

………

The Singapore International Film Festival opened on April 4 and closed on April 15, lasting 12 days.

With less than $100,000 in funding, we can't expect how much publicity can attract many people, and although the screening period was cold and miserable, the closing day on the 15th was still lively, of course, compared to the previous ten days.

It's not so much an international film festival. It's more appropriate to say that it is an Asian film festival, where white skin and black skin are not seen much, and almost all of them are yellow skin. There are no big names, but there are many new actors. In particular, there are many new actresses from Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island, Japan and South Korea.

The reporter is very busy, as long as there is a female star on stage ribbon puppet, whether she is famous or not, she will all click and shoot wildly for a while. I can't blame them for being a little hungry, they really don't have anything to shoot, and they can't go back if they don't fill in some things on the film.

After Yang Guimei appeared. A group of reporters immediately left the two girls who were ready to enjoy the lights and chase after posing, and all gathered around Yang Guimei.

"Miss Yang, are you here to represent "The Hole" at the film festival?"

"Yes." Yang Guimei, who was not afraid of the cold, wore a dress with one shoulder and arm completely exposed, replied with a smile, looking elegant and atmospheric, of course, as long as you don't reward her for linking the dress and robe, it won't destroy this beauty.

"Is Director Cai Mingliang also coming to participate?"

"Director Cai is preparing a new film, and he can't spare time."

"Is it convenient to reveal what kind of film it is?"

Yang Guimei shook her head: "Don't mean it, it's not convenient to make it public now." ”

"The movie "Hole" was filmed by you and Yun Zai, will he appear today?"

"Maybe I'm going to disappoint everyone, Mr. Di is making a movie, and he doesn't have time."

Sure enough, many reporters were disappointed, and they didn't want to interview some heavyweights, so they surrounded Yang Guimei even more.

"I've heard that you have a good chance of winning Best Actress today, is that true?"

Yang Guimei smiled slightly: "I hope it's true." ”

"There is also a saying that "The Hole" will win most of the awards at this year's film festival, what do you think?"

"The results haven't been announced yet, so it's useless for me to see what the judges think."

Yang Guimei is somewhat famous on Taiwan Island, but her fame is not so explosive, if you use D, C, B, A, S to divide the level of stars, she can only be regarded as B-, but here she has created the illusion of S-level, which shows the level of this film festival.

I don't know if the organizer wants to create a capable, fast and non-procrastinating style or because of the lack of funds and can't afford to invite the funny and appetizing award presenters when the awards are presented, all of them are the host reading the name, the winner comes to the stage to receive the award, and then the acceptance speech, and then the audience applauds, the whole process is fast.

"The best actress is Miss Yang Guimei, who plays the heroine in the movie "The Hole", congratulations!"

Yang Guimei came to the stage to accept the award, and just walked off the stage and before she got to her seat, she heard the host announce again: "Best Actor... It is Mr. Di Yun, who played the male protagonist in "The Hole", please come to the stage to accept the award. ”

So Yang Guimei held her own trophy in her hand and came to the stage to help Di Yun receive the award.

"Best Director...... "This time the host pauses for a bit long" or "The Hole", please ask the director Mr. Cai Mingliang to come to the stage to accept the award! ”

Won three awards in a row. The applause from the audience was so warm that Yang Guimei couldn't hold three trophies with two hands, so she had to hand over the two in her hands to the assistant first, and then went on stage again to receive Cai Mingliang's.

"The best movie is ......" the host stopped reading. The expression on his face was a little tangled.

No way?

As soon as they saw the host's ghostly expression, the audience's eyes widened, and the award hall suddenly buzzed.

Yang Guimei also felt that her heart was beating a little faster, and she didn't know whether she should wait for a while not far from the stage or return to her seat.

"Hole!"

The host seemed to have finally swallowed the egg in his mouth, and spit out a word with difficulty.

Moment. All voices died down, and there was an eerie silence in the room.

The sound of Yang Guimei's high heels stepping on the ground startled herself, slowed down, and walked onto the stage.

"Really...... Incredible! The host sighed.

"I'm in a dream." Yang Guimei said.

Bang bang bang... There was a first person applauding, followed by the second, the third, and even everyone applauding, and the voice slowly increased, and the atmosphere gradually became enthusiastic, and it took nearly twenty seconds to stop.

For "The Cave", it was a harvest that exceeded expectations. But for the rest of the exhibitors and the films, that's the biggest blow.

The reporters outside were also excited, and finally had some news that could be hyped up.

It's a pity that none of these reporters are mainland reporters, so the news that Di Yun won the best actor at the Singapore International Film Festival did not reach China in the first place. It still traveled to Taiwan Island and Hong Kong Island, and it was only after a few days that it spread to China and set off some topics.

But Di Yun learned from the phone early on, and three days later he received the trophy handed to him by Yang Guimei.

On April 20th, "A Sigh" had not yet started filming, and Lao Feng's explanation to him was that negotiations were being negotiated nervously and would start soon. As for whether it is a negotiation or a riddle. Di Yun didn't have the heart to explore, and hoped to push it as late as possible, so that he could finish some of the remaining trivial scenes in "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" calmly, without having to run around at that time.

There is no night play tonight. He returned home in the evening and picked up the mail from the doorman.

Lao Xu is watching the drama and Zhu Gege.

"Can you watch this TV series? I thought you didn't like it. Di Yun smiled as he changed his shoes.

I don't know when, "Huanzhu Gege" has begun to be broadcast in the mainland, and it has become a legend in the TV industry at an unparalleled speed, and several leading actors have also become popular all over the country. Especially the big-eyed schoolgirl, so sharp that she has no friends. Whether it's Zhengtai and Lori who are still in elementary school, or the old man and old lady who play chess and walk every day, you can find her fans in it.

"It's true that I can't watch it, but this TV series is very popular during this time, and if you look at it with curiosity, it's too noisy." As he spoke, he turned off the TV and asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”

"It's supposed to be a trophy."

"Trophies at the Singapore International Film Festival?"

"Hmm." Di Yun nodded.

"I'll see." Lao Xu took the box from his hand and opened it.

The trophy is in the shape of a silver screen with black film on it, placed in a box, like the San Sebastian Gold Shell, which can only be placed in the box, as there is no place to hold it.

"How is this the case?" Lao Xu was a little disgusted by the shape of the trophy.

Di Yun is also the first time to see such a trophy, compared with the three-dimensional trophies at other film festivals, this flat does look a bit lo.

However, Lao Xu quickly became happy: "Although it looks a little ugly, it is an international award no matter what, so put it in the study." ”

There are a few empty shelves on the bookshelves in the study, and there are already three trophies, the Best Supporting Actor trophy at the Hong Kong Island Film Awards, and the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor trophies at the Golden Horse Awards. Now I have to add this again.

Lao Xu took the trophy out of the box and put it together with the three, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was unsightly, and he took it down and put it in the block below to be much more pleasing to the eye.

Of all the trophies I've ever seen, Di Yun's favorite is the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, but I don't know if there's a chance to put it here.

"Hey, it's all yours, it's not my share." Lao Xu said.

"Didn't people inform you to participate in this year's Film Acting Society Awards?" Di Yun laughed.

"The notice is a notice, who knows if you can get it, even if you can get it, it's not comparable to you."

Di Yun shook his head: "What are you comparing to me?" ”

"Also, what am I comparing with you, I should compare with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jiang Wen."

"Hah..."Di Yun was amused by her arrogance, "my heart is really big!" However, do you really plan to be a director and stop filming? ”

"Who knows, it's still a little early to say this, aren't you still filming now?" Lao Xu shook his head, "Don't say it, let's go, let's eat first, my mother came over in the afternoon to deliver some wrapped dumplings." ”

As long as Di Yun is at home, she will no longer cook by herself, I don't know when she developed the habit, even such a simple thing as dumplings has to be done by Di Yun, but she doesn't do anything else, just leans on the kitchen door and chats with him while watching, at most doing some small things like helping him pull his sleeves, tie his waist, or make juice.

"During this time, I investigated, from 96 years to the present, the house price has tripled from seven or eight hundred to two thousand, and according to this trend, it is possible to rise, do we want to buy a few more houses, and then sell them when the price is high in a few years, and we can also make money."

Di Yun said while taking out the dumplings in the pot: "Look, you can buy it if you want, but I think it's better to buy the shop on the street on the ground floor than to buy a house, which has more room for appreciation." If you look at the current speed of construction in the capital, who knows what it will look like in a few years, maybe the area that is worthless now will become a prime location by then. ”

"Yes, then I'll see which lot has development potential."

"You have this vision when you make a movie?" Di Yun asked with a smile.

"If you don't even have this vision, then you will grow up in the capital in vain." Lao Xu wrinkled his nose and picked up a plate of dumplings.

Di Yun didn't refute, he knew which place would be worth more money later, but he didn't plan to say it explicitly, thinking that it would be better to inadvertently point out this kind of thing. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
