Chapter 640: Montreal

Cheng Ying directly took a month off, and although the doctor said that the possibility of sequelae was very small, she still prepared for the worst. In case the old man Cheng is paralyzed and speechless or something, she will change to a relatively free job in order to take care of her father.

As the company's CEO and number one agent, the impact of the shutdown was very large, and Chu Qing had to sit in the company and deal with those unfinished business.

In a blink of an eye, on the 30th, the 24th Golden Eagle Award was held at the Wuzhou Grand Theater in Changsha.

This year's forcing is still quite high, just looking at the host is Zhao Zhongxiang, you know that Mango Taiwan is determined to do a big job. The division of the Golden Eagle Award is probably the most complete, including serials, hosts, literary programs, documentaries, children's programs and other TV-related awards.

The company mainly has two works, "Soldier Assault" and "Struggle".

Wang Baoqiang has been popular for two years with this drama, and finally won a good honor: the most popular TV series actor award and the most popular actor award from the audience.

Tang Wei and Wang Luodan were both nominated, but they lost one after another. There was no way, Jiang Wenli killed all sides that night, and she won the three awards of the most popular actress, the audience's favorite actress and the best performing arts actress.

Old-timers are old-timers, without a trace of fireworks, they make the Golden Eagle Goddess Li Xiaolu feel embarrassed.

Of course, it is Wang Baoqiang who has benefited the most, he is now famous, has awards, and has been properly promoted to the front line...... Although it's just the TV circle.

In other words, in the current film and television industry, not only the salary of movie cafes has skyrocketed, but also the TV industry.

Like Wang Baoqiang's filming of "Soldier Assault", each episode is more than 10,000, and when it comes to "Shunyo", he dares to quote 100,000, if "Shunyu" is a big hit, it will definitely be called 150,000, and the actual transaction price must be about 120,000.

When Tang Wei was filming "Double-sided Tape". Each episode is less than 10,000, but after two consecutive hit dramas, the transaction price of 100,000 is accepted.

The reason is nothing more than that there are too few good actors, the market demand is too large, and the series is different from the movie, and the TV station and the audience recognize the familiar face.

Just think about it for yourself, from 07 to 10 years, in addition to Wang Baoqiang, Sun Honglei, **** Bin, Haiqing, Huang Haibo, Yan Ni, who else can be seen on the small screen?

……

September 2nd. Montreal.

The festival was founded in 1977 and is one of the 12 largest festivals. If Sundance concentrates Americanized independent films, then Montreal is a pan-European mecca for art films, and the two film festivals together support the art taste in North America without being completely overrun by the sour smell of Hollywood.

Chinese works have not won many honors here, but they are not few, perhaps because of the remote relationship, which has always been of little attention in China.

The event opened on August 27 and lasted for ten days. Today is the premiere of "Li Mi's Conjecture". Cao Baoping, Zhou Gongzi and two staff members arrived in a hurry yesterday.

Without dazzling flashes and big stars, the scene is a little shabby. However, the atmosphere is still very good, and the hall that can accommodate 700 people is nearly ninety percent sitting.

Zhou Gongzi was in the front row, waiting very seriously. In order to film this drama, she simply suffered a lot. After finishing it, it took another three full months to completely withdraw.

After a while, the lights dimmed. The screen lights up.

In the first shot of the feature film, Zhou Xun's little face was given without makeup, sallow, with dark spots on his cheekbones, his hair tied up messily, and a cigarette in his right hand.

“69,80,83,103…… 221,243,256, all the way to 1460, last month, last month was exactly 1460, the numbers are all in my head, I remember the days of every letter...... Is there any pattern to this? ”

She muttered like a nervous person, to every passenger on the bus, and then asked herself: "There is no pattern!" Don't think about it, I've thought about everything I should think. Four years, just these days, 54 letters, no clues, no cities, no addresses, no telephones, none of them, just these letters. He told you that he was late again, constipated, and watched the ball all night, and the smell of the restaurant next door wafted again...... That's all, you don't know where he is, you can't find him......"

Cao Baoping is a master storyteller and knows how to capture the audience, and he successfully piqued the audience's interest with this quirky opening.

In fact, "Li Mi's Conjecture" is very simple, that is, in order to make a woman happy, he does not hesitate to sell drugs incognito, but he can't help but miss her, so he has to write letters one after another.

Telling an uncomplicated story in a complex way is an extremely risky act. But Cao Baoping is very sure, because Zhou Gongzi is an incomparably powerful actor who can really support a play.

So, everyone looked at Zhou Xun and saw her chattering there: "Do you know what I want to do the most?" The most I want to do is find him out, and then yell at him, why don't you die! ”

“OH!”

Reporters and film critics couldn't help but exclaim that this actor and this film are so special that they almost subvert the impression of previous Chinese independent films.

Although the story was created based on the kidnapping case of a drug dealer, Cao Baoping used it as a catalyst for the development of the plot to better reflect the conflict and accidentality.

When the drug dealer played by Wang Yanhui and Wang Baoqiang was arrested, Fang Wen was interrogated for a traffic accident, and Li Mi finally saw him at the police station.

Passing by in such a hurry, through the thick glass window, but she was nailed to his back at a glance.

Fang Wen couldn't admit it, so he had to say: Miss, you recognize the wrong person, my name is Ma Bing.

She was stunned, she questioned in a panic, her previous rhetoric disappeared, aggrieved and angry. And the second time they met, he became flustered and dodged around in the sun. She followed all the way, crying and reciting the letter he had written:

"In 83 days, I'm going back, Li Mi. Anyway, I can't be the kind of person you want, I can only be ordinary, I'm really useless...... Do you think I'm useless too? ”

"In 221 days, I'm going back, Li Mi. I'm a useful person now, and I can see what our supermarket will look like in the future...... Can you forgive me? ”

"In 430 days, I'm not the same as before, Li Mi. Maybe I've become the kind of person your parents wanted...... I saw Kun Ming on TV yesterday and I cried all at once...... Are you still waiting for me? Li Mi. ”

"708 days, tell you one thing, Li Mi. I went to the airport this morning to buy my ticket, and at that time my thoughts were like a snake crawling on the grassland, and I suddenly wanted to go back...... I bought the ticket, went through the security check, got to the boarding gate, and finally I came out and got half of the ticket money back...... I want to go back, you know? ”

“……”

This scene silenced the audience, and the energy that burst out of the thin body enveloped the hall of 700 people. Zhou Gongzi bit his lip, and a wonderful, proud, and indescribable taste flowed in his heart.

Fang Wen stopped, finally turned around, and said, "Okay, I'm Fang Wen." I'm okay with someone else now, and I don't want you anymore, can you stop following me? ”

"If I recognize the wrong person, then I'll tell you I'm sorry."

As soon as the words fell, she ran up, her wide men's shirt fluttering in the wind, and she ran without looking back.

After that, Li Mi fell seriously ill and said: Fang Wen erased from my life.

She drove with her friends to a restaurant, and when her friends left laughing, she laughed and shouted, "Wait for me!" But in the next second, she looked up at the faintly bright sky, as if there was nothing in her eyes, and she seemed to be able to find everything.

Cao Baoping knew Zhou Xun's charm too well, and used a lot of close-ups to dig out that kind of thing little by little.

At the end of the story, Fang Wen died in front of Li Mi's eyes. He left the woman a box of money and a DV. At the police station, she saw the footage.

Fang Wen smiled very shyly and said: I did it, let's go open a supermarket...... Don't worry about me, I might be back to you soon. If I can't come back, when you miss me, look at the letters I have written to you, 54 in all.

The picture is covered with snowflakes, and then Li Mi appears in the camera: she is drying clothes at home, changing tires on the viaduct, trotting all the way to the public toilet on the side of the street, arguing with a fat man, and slapping him......

Fang Wen was by her side, all the time. In the end, he didn't say a word to Li Mi I love you. But she smiled, because her love was explained.

This unfolding was indeed unexpected, so much so that there was a whisper in the room. Just when they thought the film was over, Cao Baoping played another trick.

He asked Zhou Xun to stand on the overpass, leaning against the railing, with the bustling and struggling city behind him, and said like a documentary interview: "We fell in love when we were in middle school, and we have been together ever since." We didn't do well in school, we didn't get into college, he loved to watch martial arts, and he fell in love with me. ”

"We were all inconspicuous, no one cared about us, and on the day the college entrance examination ended, we were all depressed, and we didn't see each other that day. He came out of the examination room, spent five yuan, bought a swimming ticket, and spent an afternoon in the pool, crying for the first time under the bright sun. ”

Then he started his life as a taxi driver...... Later, he told me that he was the happiest thing he was to meet me......"

Her good-looking face smiled and smiled, and suddenly turned to the side, welling up with tears.

……

Three days later, the 32nd Montreal Film Festival closed.

"Li Mi's Conjecture" won two awards, Cao Baoping won the best director, and Zhou Gongzi won the best actress.

The so-called domestic Sidan, all the ones who can't do it at the international film festival, only Zhao Wei won a Shanghai Shanghai Film Festival in 05, and was complained about by various people.

The authority of Montreal is still quite high, and after learning that Zhou Gongzi was sealed, Chu Qing congratulated him as soon as possible. And the people of the whole country like to see it, please! People are Huayi! You Baba invested in filming, and Baba pulled people into "Painted Skin...... Tsk, don't say you're a high wind and bright festival, who will believe you two if you don't have a leg?

(Bad mood, extremely bad state!) (To be continued.) )
