When I first started my business, I was not picky about the location of the office, and many American companies started their business in garages, and many Chinese people started their businesses from basements.

After Gu Cancan came to Riot, she found that their office environment was so simple, which was very different from the top network technology company she imagined, so she casually put forward some suggestions.

Brandon Baker did not welcome Gu Cancan's arrival, what does it mean that the daughter of the shareholder who Huaxia just joined is here, to supervise the work?

However, Gu Cancan's suggestion he thought was very good, Riot's current office conditions were indeed a little simpler, and with an investment from Bright Future, Brandon Baker decided to improve Riot's working environment.

Gu Cancan took a turn in Riot, listened to the escort arranged by Brandon Baker explain the game that is now being developed, visited the original studio, and looked at the design drawings that had not yet been fully formed, Gu Cancan saw that it was indeed League of Legends, originally she was worried that because of her butterfly effect, Riot's products would change, but fortunately, everything has not changed at present, it is still the League of Legends, and her heart is stable.

Speaking of League of Legends, Gu Cancan saw the relevant controversy on the Internet in the original time and space, many people said that League of Legends is plagiarized DOTA, the two are indeed quite similar, after all, it was created by the original team, but it is not right to say that it is plagiarism, it can't be said that the gameplay is similar is plagiarism, hey, it seems to be whitewashing vine news......

Gu Cancan didn't play League of Legends much before, she didn't express her opinion on game design, in fact, the game in production is not much to look at, Riot employees are curious about Gu Cancan, the face of the East, but they are more immersed in their work and ignore it.

After staying in the fist for a long time, Gu Cancan returned to Seattle.

Seattle is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with a pleasant climate, and has been rated as the best livable place in the United States, Gu Cancan lives in a hotel on the shores of Lake Washington, and quietly looks at the calm Lake Washington through the bright windows.

Lake Washington is crystal clear, reflecting the buildings on the lakeside, like a dream.

The waterfowl that woke up in the morning fluttered their wings and flapped, fluttering the smell of the sea in the air, and squinting at the still sleeping ships below. The city is lazy, with fewer pedestrians on the streets and the occasional quiet car passing by.

The hotel claims to be of a high level, but the facilities are simple and scary. The room is surprisingly small, with a desk, a single bed, a wardrobe and a poor TV hanging on the wall, about 14 inches in size.

The brightest thing is the large glass window that occupies half of the wall, even if the curtains are drawn, it can't hide the increasingly dense golden light from penetrating from the outside, and the room is slowly bright.

After looking at the scenery in front of the window, Gu Cancan stretched his waist lazily and rubbed his tight skin again.

came to the United States from the capital and went non-stop to visit Riot Company, Gu Cancan still has some sequelae of jet lag at the moment.

went to the bathroom to wash up seriously, Gu Cancan put on light makeup for himself, and soon after, a beautiful and fresh face appeared in the mirror.

"Melancholy, it seems to be getting more and more beautiful, what should I do if I am getting more and more attractive?" Gu Cancan looked at himself in the mirror and pretended to sigh, but the smugness in his eyes betrayed her unceremoniously.

If you're still a man, I'm afraid you can't help but fall in love with your current self.

After putting on makeup and getting dressed, Gu Cancan opened all the curtains, and with a "bang", the sun was dazzling and the world was bright.

Outside the window, there is an old tree, I don't know what variety, the branches are flourishing, and the branches and leaves are dense. If you look up slightly, you can see the lawn in the middle of the street, and the silver light in the middle of the cluster is the streetcar tracks of Seattle.

Gu Cancan's little assistant Yi Jia came over yawning, and saw that Gu Cancan had finished washing and painting all the makeup, so he secretly stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

Usually Gu Cancan's makeup is helped by her, and because of the jet lag, Yijia can't wake up every day.

Fortunately, Gu Cancan is a very generous employer and never cares about these little things.

After making sure that Gu Cancan was freshened up, the two and the rest of the buried crew went downstairs together. It's not far from the Seattle International Film Festival, about a 20-minute walk.

They were not used to the local breakfast, so they bought some bread and drinks at the roadside shop.

Gu Cancan has already made clear the purpose of this trip, and burying the film alive has been recommended by Seattle Film Festival Vice President Silens, and directly entered the main competition unit of the Asian Film Festival.

It is now the week before the opening of the film festival, and it is the key stage for the filmmakers to fish for a large number of films, and then concentrate on screening.

It is estimated that there is no problem, although the burial alive is filmed in China, and all the cast and crew are Chinese, but the background of the story is the story of an American citizen who takes place in Yirac, and the values in the film are also easy to be tolerated by Americans. As for whether he can win the award, well, Gu Cancan is still quite confident in the film, but whether he can win the award or not can only be resigned to fate.

Following Gu Cancan is Zhang Xiaoqing, the first agent of the brilliant era, proficient in many Chinese, and has been in contact with many film festivals, she makes Gu Cancan believe in her communication skills, absolutely smooth and transparent without urine points.

However, Zhang Xiaoqing also has questions, there are so many influential film festivals in the world, why does Mao have to come to Seattle? Although the Seattle International Film Festival has the word international, it is actually similar to the status of the Shanghai Film Festival, and it can only be regarded as the second gradient of the international film industry.

Gu Cancan shrugged, I want to go to Cannes and Berlin, but people don't approve of it, and I actually signed up, but some of it was brushed off.

Gu Cancan met Cirance.

Silang is a typical American look, with a high nose and ruddy cheeks, a blonde hair has begun to fall out, becoming a Mediterranean hairstyle, he is already fifty years old, his body is wide and strong, and the two Gu Cancan stand together, not as wide as Silangs.

"Hi, amazing little girl from Huaxia, it's a pleasure to meet you." Si Lang laughed and shook hands with Gu Cancan.

"Mr. Sirans, I'm glad to see you, too." Gu Cancan politely greeted Cirens.

Cirence looked like a hearty person, and after he invited Gu Cancan to sit down, he said to Gu Cancan: "Child, I am so surprised that you can make such a movie at this age." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Sirans has won the award, it's my luck." Gu Cancan said modestly.

"You don't have to be modest, I can see that you definitely put a lot of effort into writing the script for this movie." The foreigner looked very excited, turned to see Wang Qianyuan, and praised again: "This is the actor of the movie, good, the acting skills are really good, the script is good, the actor's acting skills are the key, the young man is very good." ”

Zhang Xiaoqing translated Silangs' words to Wang Qianyuan, Wang Qianyuan laughed a few times, and was praised by Silangs, and he was very happy in his heart.

Wang Qianyuan's performance in the film is indeed great, and his acting skills are the key factor in supporting the film to be buried alive.

In the film, the most important thing is the expression of Wang Qianyuan's emotions, fear when he is afraid, panic when he is panicked, and despair when he is desperate, which is a typical expressionist acting; Furthermore, the same fear is presented differently at different stages, when Wang Qianyuan just found out that he was buried alive, when Wang Qianyuan failed to call for help with his mobile phone, and when Wang Qianyuan realized that death was coming...... These delicate and intricate treatments are a severe test of basic skills.

Wang Qianyuan did it perfectly.

After praising Gu Cancan and Wang Qianyuan, Cirence got down to business: "Miss Gu, did you come to Seattle to participate in the film festival or the film market?" ”

Gu Cancan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhang Xiaoqing, and said suspiciously: "Mr. Cirence, is there any difference between the two?" Isn't that the same thing? ”

"No, no, it's two different things."

Silang waved his hand and said, "Participating in the film festival is to award awards and increase exposure. Participating in the film market, purely to find distributors, is business. If you want to participate in the Sillens Film Festival, of course I welcome it, but I have to explain first that the platform has nothing to do with the film market, and there are very, very few studios that come here every year, and most of them are small companies in Northern Europe and our United States, and the distribution capacity is very limited, so you don't have to get your hopes up. ”

"......" This is not the same as the film festival in Asia, Gu Cancan unconsciously stroked his hair and asked, "Mr. Cirence, what is going on with the film market?" ”

"In this way, a mature film festival is composed of three parts: the film festival, the foundation, and the film market." Cirlens is a very patient person, explaining: "Cannes, for example, has film, which is a specialized trading platform. Domestic filmmakers look for overseas filmmakers, overseas filmmakers pick up local pearls, movies are just commodities there, bought and sold at will, and they are also commodities provided by organizations, they make rules, monopolize resources, and individuals will not have any channels for development. ”

Gu Cancan had a little headache inside, but she didn't bury her alive to sell it for a good price, to put it bluntly, burying this movie alive Gu Cancan is ready not to be released in China, purely to win prizes.

"I see, thank you, Mr. Sirans." Gu Cancan smiled and bowed his head, expressing his gratitude to Silangs.

"You're welcome, I'm sorry, Gu, I just said that Seattle's platform has nothing to do with the film market, and my resources are naturally the same." Silens waved his hand, took out a business card and said: "My influence is only at the film festival, the film market can't help you much, you can contact this person, he is a consultant at the Cannes Film Festival, if you want to sell the film at a good price, he may be able to help you." ”

"Thank you." Gu Cancan took it with both hands, saw that it was a series of French, and he couldn't understand it, so he handed it to Zhang Xiaoqing directly.

At this point, it was actually over, and he didn't chase after the inquiry, or continue to ask for assists with a dead face. People don't owe you, and it's interesting enough to be willing to point out so much.

"Mr. Cirens, no matter what, I sincerely thank you for your help." Gu Cancan stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Then I won't bother you, bye!" ”

"Bye-bye!" The foreigner waved his hand.

Gu Cancan said goodbye and left, walked to the door, and was about to push the door, when he suddenly heard a shout from behind: "Hey, Miss Gu!" ”

Gu Cancan turned around, not knowing why.

"No matter what happens to you in the future, never lose your love for movies." Silang held up his big belly and smiled brightly at Gu Cancan: "For the sake of the movie!" ”

……

The Seattle Film Festival is seen more as a film festival for audiences than just for the industry.

The festival is organized and run by SIFF and is the only major film festival that has a secret section.

Viewers who participate in the secret program do not know in advance what they will be watching and are required to sign an oath not to divulge what they are watching.

Thanks to Sirans's recommendation, the live burial was put in the secret column and became the first batch of films to be watched.

At this moment, there was some restlessness in the screening room, even though the lights had dimmed, but the sound of breathlessness was still in the ears.

For the audience, there is really not much interest in independent films that lack publicity and gimmicks.

Molomesius couldn't help but get irritated, because he knew full well that the film was on track from the first shot, and that if these people continued to make noise, they would miss important shots next.

Nervousness, apprehension, and anticipation were mixed together, and his fists clenched and released, and finally he could not hold back, and Molomisius stood up sharply and shouted loudly, "Be quiet, please be quiet!" The movie is about to start, can you be quiet? ”

After saying it angrily, Molomisius sat down again, his heart pounding wildly against his chest, which was too bold just now.

But unexpectedly, the agitation in the screening room really began to subside—it was probably Molomixiu's nearly two-metre height that stunned the audience.

Soon, the movie started playing.

Molomixiu watched the opening seriously, and it turned out that what appeared in it was actually Chinese, which was actually an independent film from Huaxia.

There was a small commotion in the screening room, and two people even stood up and walked out.

Fortunately, the vast majority of the audience were very qualified, and soon, the screening room was quiet again.

As soon as the opening credits end, the big screen is plunged into darkness.

Molomixiu adjusted his sitting posture, retracted his legs, and turned sideways slightly, the place was small only in this way to sit comfortably, and he entered the state of watching the movie.

Ten seconds passed, and there was silence; Twenty seconds passed, and there was no sound; Thirty seconds later, it's still the same......

Molomixiu couldn't help but look left and right, could it be that the film was wrong? Or is there a problem with the projection equipment?

After the end of the credits, there was no movement for thirty seconds, and it was completely still - and it was a black screen, which looked like a complete projection accident!

This, how is this possible?

Although Buried Alive is an independent film from China, the organizers pay so little attention to it, and there was even a screening accident, which is also too bullying!
