“…… The winner of the Best Director of the Asian Newcomer Award at the 7th Magic City Film Festival was ......" female director Huang Shuqin held the envelope and deliberately paused for a moment.

Zhu Wen, who was nominated for Best Director, whispered to Shao Shuaijun: "It must be you, "Buried Alive" should not participate in the Asian Newcomer Award, it should go to the Golden Goblet Award!" The tone was a bit resentful.

"The Golden Goblet Award is based on seniority, and it is useless to go, it is better to participate in the Newcomer Award, and you can get nominated if you don't get the award." Shao Shuaijun is a little uneasy, the Golden Goblet Award is the only A-level award in China (now there are two, and the Temple of Heaven Award established in 2011 is also), in order to be in line with international standards, he is a little indifferent to the domestic film itself, not to mention a penniless and young newcomer.

Huang Shuqin's gaze swept over the faces of everyone standing in the back row, and finally stopped on Shao Shuaijun's face: ""Buried Alive", Shao Shuaijun!" Congratulations to the post-85 director Shao Shuaijun, in the film "Buried Alive", the director used bold imagination to construct a story of a single actor and a single scene, breaking the limit of the film and will surely write the history of the movie. ”

Shao Shuaijun's always calm heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a few points, this is the first time he has won an award since he was a child, if it weren't for the temperament honed by the ups and downs of the entertainment industry for ten years in his previous life, he would probably have to jump up now. He took the award certificate and microphone from Huang Shuqin's hand, and let out a long breath of turbidity.

"Thank you to the jury for their love, thank Huayi Brothers for helping with the release, and thank the brothers of the crew for their support, although they did not come to the scene. Thank you to my parents, and to everyone I deserve to be thankful for. Shao Shuaijun held the microphone hard, not knowing how to say it, he has never been a person who can speak wittily, "Then, thank fate for giving me this opportunity." ”

Thank fate, this is true.

Papapa

"Next up is the Asian Newcomer Award for Best Film, and we will be invited to present the award to renowned film scholar and film theorist David Baldwell."

David Baldwell, with a gray beard, read out the list of winners through a translator: "The winner of the Best Film of the Asian Newcomer Award at the 7th Magic City Film Festival is ...... "Buried Alive", Shao Shuaijun!" ”

Shao Shuaijun clenched his fists, trying his best to calm his excitement, he really didn't expect to win two awards.

"Young man, "Buried Alive" is wonderful, congratulations."

"Thank you."

The host walked over with a smile: "Director Shao Shuaijun, this is the first time to set up the Asian Newcomer Award, you have won two awards in a big way, do you want to talk about the acceptance speech?" ”

"Well, no, I don't think I can think of anything to say." Shao Shuaijun told the truth.

The audience thought he was playing humor and burst into laughter.

"Director Shao is really humorous." The host complimented, "I think at this moment, many people want to know some stories about director Shao Shuaijun, can you tell us about it?" ”

"Actually, there is nothing to say, my experience is very white, there is nothing worth listening to."

"Then tell us about how you grew up when you were a child, how you thought of making movies, and let's talk about it briefly."

Shao Shuaijun thought for a while: "How to say it, I grew up in a very ordinary family, my parents were both primary school teachers, when I was very young, every time the school showed a movie, I would watch it, and I liked the movie unconsciously." After the college entrance examination, I held my dream to go to the Chinese opera, Nortel, and Shanghai opera exams, but I didn't get in. In order to fight for a breath, I didn't choose to continue studying, but went to Hengdian to find an opportunity...... "Buried Alive" was a very accidental idea, and I filmed it after thinking of it, it's that simple. ”

"Simplicity reveals extraordinary, I think, it is difficult for a director to be as bold as you, and you can do it when you think of it. Alright, it's time to get down to business. The organizers of this Magic City Film Festival have specially added the Asian Newcomer Award, aiming to discover and discover potential Asian film newcomers, for which the organizers have come up with 300,000 yuan as a reward. We are also honored to invite Zhang Hongsen, deputy director of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, to present us with an award. ”

In the applause, Zhang Hongsen, who was in a straight suit, strode onto the stage, took a large template check held by the master of ceremonies, and handed it to Shao Shuaijun.

"Young man, congratulations, you will make more good movies in the future and contribute to the film industry."

Shao Shuaijun was a little flattered, and was busy bending down to show respect. This Director Zhang Hongsen is amazing, he is at the same level as Han Sanye, the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, what is this concept? This is the department that holds the power of life and death in Chinese films, and those who mix in the film industry simply want to offer the film bureau like a god!

Shao Shuaijun remembered that before he was reborn, Zhang Hongsen became the director of the Film Bureau and became the emperor of the film industry.

Zhang Hongsen just showed his face, pulled Shao Shuaijun to pose a few pro-people poses, and left in a hurry. At this point, Shao Shuaijun's Magic Capital Film Festival itinerary is over. Ignoring the next interview with reporters, nor at the request of the organizers, watching the Golden Goblet Award ceremony in the evening, with a bonus of 300,000 yuan, hurried back to the mountain city.

After winning the prize and getting the money, I will inevitably have a dinner treat when I go back. Taking advantage of the extra spare money in his hand, Shao Shuaijun paid Xu's salary, and gave red envelopes to the crew members, which can be regarded as buying people's hearts. It's not that I haven't thought about establishing my own network in my previous life, but I have no money and I am not good at words, so I can only live alone.

Now that I have money and become a director, my interpersonal relationship is much smoother, and I feel very good.

The Magic Capital Film Festival ended, and there was a commotion outside, which did not affect Shao Shuaijun in the crew at all, in short, the filming continued.

……

May day turns into June day, and it will soon be July day, and the mountain town is very hot in summer, and in order to shoot the effect, everyone has to wear thick clothes, which is particularly offended.

The original investment of 3 million, under Shao Shuaijun's requirements for excellence, finally failed to stick to the end, for this reason, Shao Shuaijun had to add another 500,000 investment, so that the old sister Shao Xiaoling complained that if the movie did not sell well, it would be lost.

"Don't worry, Xiaoling, the movie will definitely be a big hit."

When checking the accounts, Zhao Cheng swore that he had seen the samples, and just a few jokes were enough for him to strengthen his confidence.

Shao Shuaijun looked at the sample film in the projector for a while before saying: "The film is almost finished, and it is estimated that it will be completed in two or three days." And this movie, with Li Kai and Wang Yixue helping to hold the camera, I have time to edit, and I have completed most of the editing work, and the post-production of the soundtrack and dubbing will be completed in half a month. When this movie is released, I'll take a good rest......"

"After the movie is finished, am I unemployed, sister?" Shao Xiaoling suddenly thought.

"Well, it seems to be."

Zhao Cheng laughed: "Xiaoling, if you are unemployed, come to Huayi Brothers, Director Hu Ming of the Finance Department, who is a relative of me, and it will not be a problem to arrange a host accountant for you." ”

"Really?" Shao Xiaoling is overjoyed, compared to making movies, which burns money and has no fixed place to work, she prefers a stable job.
