Seven p.m., outside the Yenching Grand Theatre.

As the main venue of this year's film festival, it was set up early.

The bright red carpet stretched from the entrance of the theater to the side of the road, and the railings on both sides of the red carpet were crowded with people, and reporters set up their machines and focused their cameras on the red carpet.

In order to build momentum for the opening of the film festival, the organizers also invited many big-name stars to come, and tonight's Yenching Grand Theater is bound to be starry-studded, so there are also a large number of celebrity fans gathered on the roadside.

They either held various banners, or held up signs with the names of idols, and from time to time shouted in unison, creating an extremely large momentum on the scene.

At this moment, an extended version of the luxury car slowly drove up and stopped steadily on the side of the road, and the chief judge of the main competition unit of the Golden Tripod Award got out of the car and took the lead on the red carpet.

His appearance marked the official start of the red carpet ceremony, and the scene suddenly boiled, countless flashing lights flashed at the same time, and people's shouts were suddenly raised, which really felt like a mountain and a tsunami.

It's a pity that all this has nothing to do with Fang Bo and them.

Those who can participate in the red carpet ceremony tonight, in addition to the red carpet at their own expense, are only the judges of each competition unit, the main creators of the films shortlisted for the Golden Tripod Award, the brand spokespersons of the sponsors, and the guests invited by the organizers.

Either way, it has nothing to do with Fang Bo.

So no matter how lively the red carpet scene is, he can't feel it in person, so he can only stay in the hotel room with peace of mind and watch the live broadcast through TV.

"Obviously, we are also the main creators of the shortlisted movies, but we can only watch others walk the red carpet, which is really envious."

In order to join in the fun, Zhou Wei and Xu Hongsheng both went to Fang Bo's room to watch the live broadcast, and when the red carpet ceremony began, seeing those glamorous stars on the red carpet one by one, causing bursts of cheers and shutters, Zhou Wei couldn't help but feel envious.

Fang Bo sat on the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Who let us be shortlisted for the newcomer unit, others are the film crew of the main competition unit, of course the treatment is different." ”

"Hmph." Zhou Wei pursed her lips, "This is the difference in treatment." ”

Xu Hongsheng couldn't help but smile, "After staying in Hengdian for so long, do you know that there is a difference between a big star and a small actor?" ”

"It's weird, too." Zhou Wei thought about it seriously and said, "I used to be very different from them, but I didn't have any other thoughts except envy. Now when I think that we are all here to participate in the film festival, but people can walk the red carpet, but we can only watch the live broadcast, I always feel bad in my heart. ”

"That means you've made progress." Fang Bo said casually while looking at the TV screen: "In the past, the gap was too big, so you couldn't see the hope of catching up, so you wouldn't have other ideas." Now that the gap has narrowed and you can see hope, you will naturally feel that there is a psychological gap, which is a good thing. ”

"What Director Fang said makes sense." Xu Hongsheng agreed.

"Then I'll turn envy into motivation." Zhou Wei clenched her fists and looked full of energy, "Strive to become a big star as soon as possible, and one day stand on the red carpet!" ”

Fang Bo smiled: "Come on, I'm optimistic about you." ”

"Director Fang, what about you?" Zhou Wei said curiously: "Do you envy those big directors who have been shortlisted for the main competition unit?" ”

"Envy? Well, maybe. ”

Fang Bo was noncommittal, but there was a flash in his eyes.

He was indeed moved just now, but it didn't seem accurate to say that envy alone was more like the ambition of "he can take his place".

……

In the afternoon of the second day, Hall 1 of Yanjing Dianshang International Cinema.

The first screening of "Dream Chaser" was arranged in this large screening hall with hundreds of people, and for a shortlisted film in the newcomer unit, the treatment is obviously beyond the standard.

Not only that, but during the entire film festival, the number of screenings of "Dream Chaser" also reached as many as eight, far exceeding the number of ordinary screening films, and even the films in the main competition unit are not much different.

Of course, there is the influence of Wu Xiaofei's director's father, but it is also inseparable from the operation of the distribution company of "Dream Chaser".

Wu Xiaofei's father, Wu Shaolin, is a well-known director in China, and has in-depth cooperation with Huanyu Film and Television, a top film company in China, and several films are invested and distributed by Huanyu Film and Television.

So when Wu Xiaofei's "Dream Chaser" wrote the script, Wu Shaolin brought tens of millions of investment from Huanyu to allow the film to be filmed, and the release of the film was naturally taken over by Huanyu Film and Television.

With Wu Shaolin's fame bonus, Huanyu is quite optimistic about the box office prospects of "Dream Chaser", not only spent tens of millions of dollars on publicity and distribution, but also set the movie schedule in July of the summer file, making it clear that he wants to make a difference in the box office market.

It's June now, and it looks like the release is imminent, so for Wu Xiaofei and Huanyu Film and Television, participating in the Yenching Film Festival this time, winning awards is only secondary, and promoting the film is the main purpose.

To this end, Huanyu used its own influence, first won good enough screening conditions, and invited many well-known media and film companies to build momentum for the first screening of "Dream Chaser".

So there was a special scene, obviously it was just a movie directed by a newcomer, but the large screening hall with hundreds of people was full, and there were several big-name stars sitting in the front row, and the scene was extremely grand.

Fang Bo was sitting in the back row of the screening hall at the moment, and after seeing such a grand occasion, he couldn't help but look around curiously.

That's right, he also came to this screening.

When he first saw the list of nominated films, in addition to "Night Club", he quickly noticed the name of "Dream Chaser".

Isn't this the previous movie that was shot in violation of the law?

Fang Boke still remembers very clearly that it was because of this movie that "Night Club" was delayed for a day for no reason.

So after the opening of the film festival, he came to the screening site of "Dream Chaser", not to dismantle the stage, but to see with his own eyes what the film was made.

Before entering, he never imagined that there would be so many people watching a newcomer movie, and it almost filled the screening hall of hundreds of people.

Fortunately, there were still a few seats left, although they were in the back row, but they finally allowed him to sit at the screening site without fail.

Seeing that the screening time was approaching, the lights in the screening hall were not turned off, and Wu Xiaofei led a group of people to the small stage in front.

It turned out that before the screening, "Dream Chaser" still had a small premiere ceremony to be held.

Listening to Wu Xiaofei talk to the people in the audience about the difficulties of filming the movie, Fang Bo felt extremely tired in his heart.

Just talking about how difficult it is to shoot, why don't you talk about illegal road shooting?

But in addition to being disgusted, he couldn't help but think that it would be nice if "Night Club" could have such screening specifications.

As a real newcomer's work, "Nightclub" was only scheduled for four screenings, either in the morning or in the evening, and the screening conditions were too poor.
