"Yo, so you're still my boss?"

That night, Chu Qing told his girlfriend the news, and Fan Xiaoye also felt very sudden about his inexplicable new position, but after all, it was a good thing and he was very supportive.

"boss, I know what the producer does? Now it's a mushy head. ”

"Don't worry, don't you wait until summer to start filming, you just take advantage of this time to study hard. Besides, if people tell you to do it, I can still borrow it, and I can walk sideways on the set in the future. Fan Xiaoye looked very excited, and let out a burst of the queen's three laughs.

"That's the same, it's up to the owner to beat the dog." Chu Qingdao.

"Get out of the way!" The girl took a sip and asked, "Isn't your film festival going to end the day after tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, our film will definitely win an award."

"It's not your share to win the prize." The girl muttered and said frustratedly: "Oh, when can you bring me an actor*emperor back?" ”

"Why are you in a greater hurry than me?"

"I'm going out to show people! My boyfriend is the best actor, hehe, hee-hee, it has a lot of face to mention. She said rightly.

Chu Qing felt funny and asked, "Then do you want a boyfriend who is a producer, or do you want a boyfriend who is an actor?" ”

"Think about it......" Fan Xiaoye pretended, and then "uh-huh" for a while before he smiled: "Hey, it doesn't matter, as long as it's you." ”

"Tut, I want to cry when I say this." Chu Qing pouted, this girl is now more and more coquettish.

"Come on, you can still cry. By the way, did you buy me a gift? Fan Xiaoye suddenly remembered what was going on.

As soon as he mentioned this, Chu Qing was full of bitterness and said, "I bought a pair of wooden shoes, don't you know, I walked around the market." I found a pair of 39. ”

"You're sick!" The girl raised her voice suddenly, and then lowered it instantly, becoming quiet, and said, "When did I wear 39 shoes, I wear 37!" 37's! ”

"I know you wear 37, Dutch shoes are small, I have to buy a bigger one." Chu Qing wanted to laugh when he thought of those white and chubby feet...... Well, he admits that he did it on purpose.

"you!" The girl was really angry and yelled. Hung up the phone with a snap.

……

It is said that with the popularity and good reputation of "Suzhou Creek" at the film festival, Chu Qing is not a big celebrity in this area of the venue. Even if the head of this product is a little annoying, it is not so face-blind.

Although he didn't meet a foreign girl asking him for an autograph or something, at least he went to eat and went to the toilet, and someone would greet him from time to time. That's enough, and vanity is a little satisfied.

After only more than ten days here, Chu Qing has already fallen in love with the city. Compared to the capital, it is as delicate as a child's dollhouse model.

The houses are generally not high, about five or six floors, and there are cafes and pastry houses next to each other. The shed in front of the store extends low, so comfortable that there is no trace of the support and oppression of a high-rise building.

This is also his favorite place, and even one night, he secretly went to the low tavern with Lou Ye. I drank a drink that I don't know what it was.

If it weren't for the food, he still needs a little more effort, and by the way, he is still very young, which is simply a good place to die alone.

February 1. The festival is closed.

The only film festival in the world that does not have a red carpet ceremony is here, which is too cold and casual compared to the three major coffees. In fact, even if it is pushed back more than a decade, Rotterdam is not treated well by the domestic media at all.

No gimmicks at all, what the hell!

Except for those who returned home, the filmmakers, the media, and the few fans who were allowed to enter the main stadium were allowed to leave the main stadium as they did on the opening day, and then they came out of the various strange buildings and converged on one road.

These people watched each other reservedly from a small distance, and it was probably still pleasant.

The transformation of their love is actually very ironic, when they first came, it was for ambition, for dreams, for being affirmed and showing themselves. At the end of the day, it all became a common goal, to win the prize.

Reality, that's probably it......

Yesterday evening, there was a fine sleet in Rotterdam, but no one was worried about the weather the next day. The city has a typical oceanic climate, and in the morning, the sun is already hanging like a nervous man.

The air is fresh and sweet, and when the wind blows, it is cold with a slight smell of sea.

After Chu Qing and his entourage entered the venue, they were arranged in very superior seats, tacitly glanced at each other, and sat down. Even an honest person like Lou Ye couldn't help but wrinkle into a moon flower.

The hall is small, the seats are visible at a glance, and the people in the chairs are all happy. This kind of atmosphere made Chu Qing very relaxed, and he also said a few words to the South American buddy in the back row.

There are only two units set up in the film festival, one for short films and one for long films, which are pitifully few. The feature film is the main competition unit, which contains a total of fifteen films, only for those new directors, and the highest award is called the Golden Tiger Award, three are awarded each year, in no particular order.

The lights are bright and the scene is quiet.

Ge Wen is the host, and when he came up, he glanced around, revealing a slightly exaggerated and helpless expression, and said: "There are so few people, they should all go to Berlin (held in early February)." ”

Chu Qing felt that his hearing level had risen recently, and he actually understood this sentence and smiled with the crowd.

“ok！” Gwen slapped his face and smiled: "I don't deny that the Rotterdam Film Festival is as small as this city. It's a very, very simple place, and we just want to be able to help people who love movies, and so that they can have a good exchange and progress with each other. In the past 29 years, what we are most proud of is that we have always adhered to the spirit of its original establishment, protest! Pursue! Freely! We have only one purpose......"

He paused, then continued: "To be a screening venue for independent films and real films from all over the world!" ”

"Whoa!"

The people under the stage were crazy, clapping their hands desperately, wave after wave, directly overturning the roof, and a few long-headed buddies stood up and roared loudly.

Chu Qing shrunk his shoulders and was speechless, did these words have such a big incitement?

Why are these people engaged in independent movies similar to rock and roll youth, and the momentum is up. It's really hysterical. He doesn't deny the charm of the movie, but it's also a little, well, like borrowing an introduction to have fun.

couldn't help but glance at Lou Ye, still very calm, properly relieved. If he wants to follow the debauchery, he really can't accept it.

After the opening remarks, the award ceremony officially began.

As Ge Wen said, the whole process is really simple, and every link seems clean and neat. Whatever. There is not a word of nonsense, a simple introduction, a simple announcement, a simple award, and of course, the person who goes up to give a speech may take some time.

Chu Qing looked like he was about to put it away, and after a while, he had already completed half of the progress. After a few small awards were awarded, it was the Golden Tiger Award for the main event.

In fact, after a few days of warm-up. Which three films will finally win the championship, everyone guesses that it is not far from ten. But when the results were announced, I was still very excited.

"Suzhou Creek" unsurprisingly occupies one place, the other two. One is Denmark's "Byebyeb Lu E Forced RD", and the other is an Argentine film, and the director is the South American buddy sitting behind Chu Qing.

Lou Ye didn't make any bloody scenes of crying with joy, and he recovered after shaking for a while. The body walked smoothly on the stage.

The Golden Tiger Award is not a trophy, but something like a plaque with a tiger embedded in it. He looks very silly at this time. Holding a plaque in one hand and a large check in the other, that's the bonus.

It's a little bit, well, the old farmer is happy to get the demolition money......

Director Lou said a few words simply, long and short sentences crossed, the end rhyme, it sounded like an English poem, with a unique fan, and the peers also cheered for it.

Chu Qing sat down at the bottom and was very happy, but he hadn't reached the strong Cheng dù yet. Xu is the foreshadowing in front is too obvious, and in the end, there is no longer that feeling of surp sun.

Moreover, his greatest expectation for "Suzhou Creek" came quietly when the film was screened. Compared with winning the award, that process made him more satisfied.

"What were you thinking about it?"

Lou Ye finished styling and returned to his seat, he asked.

"I'm just thinking about the words I memorized, but don't make a mistake." Lou Ye said with a smile.

Chu Qing didn't believe it, because that's what Lao Jia told him last time, these directors are too good at fooling people.

He licked his lips and looked at the center of the stage, the small area that seemed to ripple with a phantom attraction in the bright light.

Perhaps, when I get to that position, I will know what it feels like.

The Golden Tiger Award is awarded, which also represents the end of the film festival. What you get, you don't get complacent, and what you don't get, you don't feel sorry for yourself.

After all, the platform here is too pure, some people may have found their own independent film path, some people may be ready to flatter the three major celebrities, and some people may simply give up the movie.

In any case, they all know that Rotterdam's farewell is just a new beginning for themselves.

……

Lou Ye's trip was a success, not only to upgrade the resume, but more realistically, it would be much easier to pull down the funds for the next film.

Of course, Chu Qing also had a harvest, and on the first night of returning to the capital, Ge Wen ran to the hotel where he was staying and brought good news.

Ge Wen is one of the heads of HBF, he is very interested in "This Summer", and he has a relationship with Chu Qing, so he went on a trip himself.

"Chu, your script is very good! The review has been cleared and will give you a grant of $50,000. "He went straight to the point as soon as he walked in the door.

"Ah, thank you, thank you very much. But it was written by the director, nothing to do with me. Chu Qing was stunned at first, and then smiled.

"You're not bad, you became a producer at such a young age." As he spoke, he took out a copy of the agreement from his bag, handed it to him, and said, "You take a look at it first." ”

This is a big deal, don't dare to be slight, Chu Qinglou Ye and Nai'an, the servants gathered together and listened to the translation of the thoughts.

The content is two pages, which is not much, and it surprised them. Because apart from the necessary supervision and scrutiny, there is not the slightest clause that intervenes in the filming of the film, and the later distribution of profits. In other words, it is indeed giving money for nothing.

Chu Qing smacked his mouth, such a fund can last for more than ten years, and he can't help but have some admiration.

After confirming that there was no objection, the agreement was signed on the spot, and Ge Wen finished talking about it and did not leave. Xu really likes this script and hopes that it will be successful, and he gives a few suggestions with the vision and height of his location:

"I think Chinese independent films are very slow films, very slow paced, with fixed standards for shots. And the table xiàn shows this cruel life of the Chinese, and many people are dying in the camera. ”

"I've seen a lot of Chinese films, and it's basically about the same theme, like reflecting the dark side of some social structures. In Asian countries such as Thailand and South Korea, their feature films are more diverse. And that's one of the strange things I find about it, which is that it's very difficult to see a film in Chinese independent cinema that focuses on personal issues. ”

"In addition, its sound is very poor, and the English subtitles are basically incomprehensible. If you want these films to go out, you really need to spend some money on both. ”

His words were hard to hear, but they were very real, Chu Qing understood some of them, and some of them didn't understand them all, but they all remembered them firmly, and they were very grateful to this friendly foreigner.

Lou Ye rarely has the opportunity to hear Westerners evaluate Chinese independent films so bluntly, and his feelings are deeper, and there is still a trace of grief and helplessness.

Seeing off Gewen, they have to catch tomorrow's plane, and they wash and sleep early.

Chu Qing lay on the bed, while his head was still clear, and took stock of the income from this trip, which was probably a pair of wooden shoes, 50,000 US dollars, and a fucking producer title.
