The Asia-Pacific Film Festival was formerly known as the Southeast Asian Film Festival and the Asian Film Festival. The festival is held in rotation in member countries, mainly showing films from Asia and the Pacific, and has been held for more than 10 years, and the time of these ten or so is uncertain, among which Hong Kong films have always been the most popular among the film festivals.

Famous actors Ling Dai and You Min in the sixties and seventies have won many film festivals, Jiang Dawei is the first actor of Xiangjiang at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, and in recent years, Lin Qingxia is also the Asia-Pacific actress.

In the eyes of Xiangjiang and Taiwan, the gold content of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival is not comparable to its own Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards, so many times, some films in Xiangjiang have not brought their works.

The reason why "Autumn Fairy Tale" was sent in was that Cai Aurora wanted to send "Men and Women" to greet Chen Jiayao, but she didn't expect her movie to be nominated for Best Actress for the first time.

Chen Jiayao is naturally very happy to receive this nomination, although the influence of the Asia-Pacific Film Festival is far less than that of later generations, but in the end, it is an international film festival that goes abroad and is united by many countries, and it can also be called an international film festival, if it wins this award, it will be Chen Jiayao's first international trophy.

The film festival was held in Thailand, and the crews of "Men and Women" and "Autumn Fairy Tale" gathered together again.

Especially Li Ammonium, as soon as he appeared, reporters were more interested in him than Zhou Yanfa and Wan Xingliang, who were nominated for Best Actor.

The director of "Autumn Fairy Tale", the director of "Millionaire in the Slum", several times in Hong Kong and even Hollywood, there is no new director who has made two movies in a row and achieved such excellent results.

If after "Autumn Fairy Tale", Li Ammonium is called a new generation of directors. "Millionaire in the Slums" has completely established his position as a first-line director in the Chinese circle, and he is also a cutting-edge director even in North America.

With the results of these two movies, even if there are no good films in the future, it is enough for Li Ammonium to eat the fame and fortune that first-line directors have for many years.

However, Li Ammonium will not be so silent, he is an excellent director with ideas and talents, and these two movies just gave him the name of promotion.

This is Chen Jiayao's idea, and in fact, Li Ammonium has long been extremely grateful to Chen Jiayao, although he has not expressed it, but if Chen Jiayao has a request. No matter how bad it is. He will also help without principle.

The so-called death of a confidant is nothing more than that.

Li Ammonium is a person who values affection and kindness, especially after many years of cold benching in the United States and relying on his girlfriend, once he succeeds. He will remember those who helped him.

Looking at Li Ammon, he couldn't do without thanking Chen Jiayao. Chen Jiayao sighed with emotion in her heart.

Li Ammonium soared so many years in advance. even rushed very high, hoping that his future achievements can be higher than the original world, so that Asian films and Chinese films will have a deeper impact on the world!

got on the plane. Cai Jiguang is a little hot, he and Chen Jiayao are old friends, Chen Jiayao's first movie was with him, and the two have a very good relationship.

So Cai Aurora said it directly if he had something to say.

"Does Ah Yao have any suitable films to start filming in the second half of the year?"

Cai Aurora's words successfully attracted the attention of Wan Xingliang, Zhou Yanfa, and even Li Ammon, who were sitting next to him.

Now who doesn't know that Chen Jiayao's script is a high-quality product, which has both box office and word of mouth.

Whether it is a director or an actor, there will not be too many good films.

Of course, Chen Jiayao understood what Cai Aurora meant by this, her friendship with Cai Aurora was really good, and she was also very interested in a win-win situation with him.

Cai Aurora is good at shooting youth literary films, and this kind of film is not popular in terms of word-of-mouth or box office.

The hottest Chinese youth literary film in her memory should be "The Girl We Chased in Those Years", which has a very good reputation and has won a lot of awards...... This movie is the first Chinese-language film in Xiangjiang, with more than 60 million yuan, which is a miracle in the film industry at the beginning.

There is also a youth literary film...... That's Juno.

"Juno" tells the story of a teenager who is still in high school but unexpectedly becomes pregnant, and the film's depiction of abortion has attracted a lot of attention, and it is divided into "life school" and "choice school", both of which have attracted a lot of praise and criticism from both schools.

"Juno" received 4 nominations for the Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Actress, and Original Screenplay, and the film's box office revenue was as high as $231,411,584, with a bumper harvest at the word-of-mouth box office.

Moreover, the production cost of this film is only more than 7 million US dollars, excluding the high remuneration of actors, directors and other main creators in the United States, the production cost is almost only more than 3 million, and that is in the 21st century when prices are all rising.

If the script is adapted and filmed in Xiangjiang, the cost will be reduced by more than half. You must know that the cost of "Slumdog Millionaire" is four or five million less, although Chen Jiayao has changed a lot of plots, but it cannot be denied that the money purchase in this era is powerful.

It's just that "Juno" is suitable for filming now? Or can Cai Aurora shoot the "Juno" in her memory? And also...... This time, she wanted to use a Xiangjiang actor.

Chen Jiayao was unsure, she thought about it, shook her head and said: "I don't have a plan for the time being, I don't know what "Love Letter" will achieve, and "The True Color of Heroes" is now finished, both of which will be released in the second half of the year." ”

Cai Aurora was a little disappointed, but he didn't report hope, after all, Chen Jiayao and Chenguang have been making a big move recently, if Chen Jiayao still has a movie script suitable for him to shoot, then Chen Jiayao is too rebellious.

Subsequently, Chen Jiayao said to him: "If there is a suitable film in the future, I will ask Director Cai for help." ”

Cai Jiguang was happy, seeing that Chen Jiayao said sincerely, I don't think it was perfunctory to him.

Moving away from the topic, Chen Jiayao took the initiative to ask Li Ammonium, Zhou Runfa and Wan Xingliang's plans for the second half of the year.

Li Ammonium has recently achieved great success because of "Millionaire in the Slum", and Hollywood has long sought his cooperation in many scripts, but Li Ammonium did not dare to respond.

You can't be proud of your achievements, you have to cherish your feathers, Li Ammonium thinks clearly, he is now going to take the high-quality route, and would rather shoot less than take on some bad movies that are not suitable for his director.

"I don't plan to shoot for the time being, in fact, the awards have come out in the second half of the year, Paramount and I have said hello, saying that they are not sure if they win the award, but there will be a lot of nominations for major film festivals, maybe it is right to be empty." Li said with a smile.

Chen Jiayao nodded, and then said happily, "Is Paramount really so sure?" Oscar...... Also has a chance? ”

Li Ammonium was happy and proud, and said: "It will give Para face, not to mention that the movie is really good, looking at this year's global movies, it will be considered an upset if it is not shortlisted." ”

Chen Jiayao was relieved, and Cai Aurora was even more envious, the Oscars, countless outstanding filmmakers couldn't get a ticket just for a ticket, but Li Ammonium was nominated at a young age and was invited.

"Ah Yao is the producer, you can't miss it." Li Ammonium said with a smile.

Of course Chen Jiayao nodded, of course she would not go, it would be good to go to the United States Film Festival to get acquainted, after all, in the future, she will also care about the North American market.

"Where's Brother Fa?"

Zhou Yanfa spread his hands and said humorously: "My film appointment has always been scheduled until a few months later, there are two TV series roles in the second half of the year, and there are three movies to participate, and during the promotion period of "The True Color of Heroes" and "God of Gamblers", Ah Yao, your boss should not be kind enough to let me rest and work hard!" ”

Everyone laughed.

"It is said that this year is the year of Ayao, I think it should be the year of Zhou Yanfa, which one has me to shoot more this year."

Everyone laughed even more, Wan Xingliang because of the TV series and Chen Jiayao's movie "Men and Women", film appointments also came one after another, but they were not as terrifying as Zhou Runfa, so I really admired Zhou Runfa's hard work.

Chen Jiayao asked: "Three movies, which three?" ”

Zhou Yunfa said vaguely: "The director who used to take care of me provided it, but recently I played in "God of Gamblers" and "The True Color of Heroes", so I can't bother too much, so I haven't got the script yet." ”

Chen Jiayao knows that it must be the contacts accumulated during the period of Zhou Runfa's box office poison, those connections don't care about his reputation and ask him to make movies, give him hope, and now that he has come out, he must repay one or two.

However, Chen Jiayao was a little worried that the audience of the film was narrow, or it was planted again for various reasons, which made Zhou Yunfa controversial again.

It can be seen that Zhou Runfa is serious, Chen Jiayao waved away this worry, Zhou Runfa has been in the Xiangjiang circle for a longer time than her, so she naturally knows better than her how to go on her own path, not to mention, during the box office period of the second week in later generations, Zhou Runfa also made movies with a box office of only tens of millions of dollars, and there is an absolutely excellent high box office as a guarantee, these films have little impact on him.

Actors, after all, are not the decisive factor at the box office.

Wan Xingliang is simpler, he only has a movie and a TV series, and there are also some cameos and pictorials and the like, so it can be said that there will be no more and no less itinerary in the second half of the year.

After chatting, the relationship between the several people became a little closer.

The two crews went to Thailand to participate in the film festival on the same day, and although they came in a hurry, they still had enough time to enter.

Chen Jiayao wore a light blue cheongsam and Zhou Runfa into the venue.

Unexpectedly, as far away as Thailand, there are still many people who are her fans, and they are really eagerly calling her name.

But listen, it's titles like Little Dragon Girl and Jade Shu, which shows that her influence on the Condor Heroes and "Myth" is really extraordinary.

The film festival is also a good platform for building diplomatic relations.

Chen Jiayao is still well-known in South Korea and Japan, especially in the Japanese and Japanese countries, "Autumn Fairy Tales" and "Myths" make her known to the people of the Japanese and Japanese countries, and the song of a thousand paper cranes has also caused popularity for a period of time.

In this Asia-Pacific Film Festival, among the shortlisted films, Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island films accounted for almost half of the shortlisted films in this film industry.

Best Actress was shortlisted, among the four, two Xiangjiang actors and one director, which made Chen Jiayao secretly sigh at the influence of Xiangjiang movies in the Asia-Pacific region at this time.

Especially the announcement in English and Chinese at the venue made Chen Jiayao feel proud.

After hearing that "the winner of the Best Actress in this film festival is Xiangjiang Chen Jiayao's "Autumn Fairy Tale", Chen Jiayao had a great sense of affinity for this film festival. (To be continued......)
