In mid-October, the 30th Hundred Flowers Award ended in Jiangyin.

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" won the Best Film Award, Feng Xiaogang won the Best Director with "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Chen Kun was called the emperor, and Zhao Wei was crowned. These most important awards are completely consistent with previous rumors and media predictions.

Don't talk much about the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, that bit of credibility has long been drifted away with the wind. The only selling point this year turned out to be the excellent level of hospitality in the area. The budget of 55 million yuan is not a random waste, even reporters have a special business car, all kinds of fruits delivered every day, a luxurious dinner of 20 dishes and a meal, and a hairy crab for each person.

This has simply become a legend of the Chinese Film Festival, so much so that at the end of the event, there was no interesting topic to talk about except for the crab and Zhao Wei's tears.

At the same time, the 23rd Tokyo Film Festival officially entered the rhythm of the event.

As the last influential A-class film festival of the year, the attention is still very high, especially for filmmakers from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. This year's film festival opened on the 23rd and closed on the 31st, with 15 films in the main competition, including two Chinese films "The Piano of Steel" and "Guanyin Mountain".

The production cycle of "Piano of Steel" is extremely short, and Zhang Meng is shooting and cutting at the same time, just enough to catch up with the schedule. Both films are produced by the two of us, and the company has decided that Fan Xiaoye will take the lead, with Li Yu, Wang Qianyuan, Qi Xi and others to attend.

As for Chu Qing's side, it happened to be finished at the end of October, and he should be able to come over to meet.

In fact, Fan Xiaoye's mood was very complicated, both expectant and scared, and a little dazed. Her thoughts, no one except Li Yu knows, just like carrying a treasure, trembling around the night.

At this time, she was supposed to talk to her husband, but she was afraid of interfering with the other party's state, so she held it back. In a blink of an eye, on the 23rd, Fan Xiaoye temporarily suppressed his emotions and led the team to set off.

……

Tokyo, Roppongi.

Roppongi, which means six trees, is an area of Tokyo that was gradually developed after World War II and turned into a commercial area lined with bars and nightclubs. After 2003, the new city was built, and many office buildings and high-end consumption places were added.

Unlike other places, film festivals in Japan do not have wide venues and movie palaces, but are all in high-rise buildings in the center of the city. This year's opening and closing ceremonies were held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in the new city.

Fan Xiaoye and others took off at 7 o'clock and arrived at 11 o'clock, but there is a time difference of 1 hour between Beijing and Tokyo, so it is more than 10 o'clock.

After a short rest, she took Li Yu and Zhang Meng to the third floor, because the organizing committee informed that the green carpet order for the opening ceremony in the afternoon would be arranged.

That's right, it's the green carpet.

In keeping with the environmental theme, the Tokyo International Film Festival has been walking the green carpet instead of the red carpet for several years in a row. The Japanese don't seem to have much to say about green, but the Chinese think it's weird, and the green is very stuffy.

Saying that, when they arrived outside the hall and were about to go inside, they suddenly heard a noisy voice, and it was in Chinese. The servants looked at each other, and Fan Xiaoye said first: "I'll take a look." ”

With that, she crept to the door and took a look.

Well, there were seventy or eighty people crowded inside, and the formation was clearly divided into two groups. A group of people was surrounding another group of people, squirting wildly with white faces, and a few Japanese poked beside them, looking helpless.

"Tsk!"

She smacked her lips, withdrew unconsciously, and said, "It seems to be a fight, let's wait." ”

Li Yu and Zhang Meng had no choice but to sit on the sofa outside and wait. Not long after, two more foreigners appeared, and like what happened to them, they went in and came out silently.

The crazy woman thought it was funny, so she took the initiative to greet: "Hey, I'm the director of "Guanyin Mountain", Li Yu. ”

"Oh hello, I'm the director of Intimate Grammar, Neil Bergman." One of the foreigners laughed.

Intimate Grammar?

The madwoman didn't have much information, only that it was an Israeli movie. Neil shook her hand and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

"Well, it could be some miscommunication, it's okay."

She was embarrassed to quarrel, after all, they were all Chinese, and they couldn't lose face in front of gringos.

At this moment, I heard a rush of footsteps, and three Japanese people came out of the elevator and strode into the field. After a while, the volume in the room doubled and became more and more intense.

Outside, there was silence, and they all felt very embarrassed.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, the door was slammed open, and first a group of people rushed out, and then another group followed, all angry.

"Huh?"

Now Fan Xiaoye recognized it, and said to Li Yu: "In front is Jiang Ping, deputy director of China Film, and behind is Chen Zhikuan, director of the Film Division of the Taiwan Information Bureau." ”

"What are they doing?" Zhang Meng was also curious.

"What do you like, we don't care!" She was too lazy to take care of it, so she went in to coordinate the order of the green carpet, and it just so happened that she was in front of and behind "Intimate Grammar".

Soon in the afternoon, the festival officially opened.

I have to admire the Japanese for the utilization of space, and I was forced to make a pocket-sized opening ceremony in a place similar to a hanging garden in the hotel. There is no shortage of media, advertisers, fans, and stars from all walks of life, but the pattern is limited, so it is awkward.

Fan Xiaoye's team is at the back of the line, which will be waiting in the VIP room. She was not familiar with the Japanese entertainment industry, yawned at unfamiliar faces, and then turned her head and saw Xu Ruoxuan.

People also looked this way, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded slightly. I didn't cross paths before, so it's not good to take the initiative to greet each other.

Fan Xiaoye secretly looked at it, there can be more than 40 people in that gang, and Ruan Jingtian, Zhao Youting, Zhang Junning, and Dai Liren are among them, and they should come for the "Taiwan Film Revival Unit".

She didn't understand, but she heard that "Mong" was not bad.

Waiting and waiting, I only watched the group of guests walking out, and I vaguely heard the screams of fans. About half an hour later, it was finally her turn, and she was about to call Su Rongrong to check her makeup, but she saw a staff member of the company running in.

"Sister Bingbing, no, it's not good......"

"What's the matter?" She was stunned.

"Those guys just ......"

He leaned in and muttered a few words in a very low voice. Fan Xiaoye's face sank, he really wanted to the chair and shoot that mountain cannon to death!

Just 20 minutes ago, Jiang Ping suddenly held a briefing and announced in a very high-profile manner that he would withdraw from this film festival and no longer participate in any related activities. The reasons are:

"When the Tokyo Film Festival introduced the names of the delegations from both sides of the strait on the green carpet, due to various reasons, there was a problem of principle that could not be coordinated and cannot be compromised......

As a member of the Chinese film delegation, we deeply regret and express our regret and protest against the neglect of the Chinese delegation by some staff members, or the disrespect for our proposals. ”

Jiang Ping led a Chinese delegation that came to participate in the activities of the China Film Week, just in time for the Tokyo Film Festival, so they stopped by to communicate. What he means now is to quit all of them, and not to walk your broken green carpet!

it!

Fan Xiaoye is crazy: If you do this, why can't we go?
