Chapter 165: Gaul Wins the Prize
Looking down from the porthole of the plane, there are only thick clouds below, and at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the plane is particularly quiet.
Fang Yu was now on a plane that took off from Rongcheng and flew directly to Gaul.
And he was in first class.
To be honest, Fang Yu had also been abroad in his previous life and had been to Europe once, but at that time, of course, he was in the ordinary cabin.
Now he is not short of that money, a first-class cabin is only more than 10,000 soft sister coins, which is really a drizzle for him, and he can pay for it with a little bit of it.
At this time, Fang Yu was lying on the flat couch here, but he hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, his mind was still thinking about some other things.
This time he went to Gaul to compete for the Tulip National Documentary Award, and he didn't know how much he could expect in this regard, but if he could win this award, he would start to slowly make a name for himself in the Western world.
In fact, the first time Fang Yu really got to know him in the Western world was in the competition of the China-Tajikistan cultural exchange group.
It was a collision of English civilization and Chinese civilization.
Every time there are some losers in the China-Tajikistan cultural exchange group, they are forgotten, but there are always some successful people, who are noticed by everyone in such an event.
Fang Yu belongs to the kind that has attracted the attention of many people, and his song "Exaggeration" has also attracted the love of many people in the Western world.
After that, Fang Yu was known by people in the Western world for the second time because of his "A Bite of China".
The documentary has gone abroad, has received a strong response around the world, and is now nominated for such an international award.
His popularity also rose.
Therefore, Fang Yu wanted to gain a high reputation in Huaxia through some things.
To be able to replicate those brilliant cultures, at the same time, he also hopes that he can open up his popularity in the Western world.
If you can let those foreigners know themselves and know their own things, this is still very powerful.
As for things in the Western world...... Seriously, on another plane.
At least on the movies.
That's not at all comparable to Huaxia.
So many brilliant movies, so many brilliant names.
Maybe in today's China, it is not very acceptable to accept some of these films, and it may not be possible to find the perfection of those films, but if those films are placed in the West, they will definitely be able to cause round after round of excitement.
"The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump", "Hacker China", "The Lord of the Rings", "Star Wars" ...... Countless names interweave countless brilliant lights and shadows.
So Fang Yu came to Gaul this time.
I also hope to know more about the voices of the Western world, and I hope to know if there is a suitable soil for those things to live in.
Although not directly to the central lighthouse country of the Western world. But there are also a lot of clues that can be learned from here.
The EU now seems to be at both ends of the snake and mouse between China and the lighthouse country, and whoever benefits more will be better to whom.
But in fact, judging from their geographical environment and cultural heritage, everyone knows that they cannot really be of the same heart as China.
From here, and from the real Western world, a lot of things can be understood.
After getting off the plane, there was a little damp and cold here, and when he got into the car with on-board air conditioning, Fang Yu felt a lot more comfortable, and the car pulled him to the nearby hotel arranged for the Grand Prix, just arrived at the hotel, Fang Yu felt that he didn't feel too sleepy.
If you start filming directly here.
Not at least for the last year or two.
He is still a little bit of movie popularity and accumulation in Huaxia now, let's talk about the next words.
Soon, Fang Yu will start doing business, and the Tulip International Documentary Award is about to officially begin.
Documentaries are not particularly grand in the international world, at least compared to regular movies and TV series, documentaries are much more niche.
Many people may like to watch movies and TV works, but not necessarily watch documentaries.
Therefore, this Tulip International Documentary Award is actually not particularly glamorous, and the red carpet is a little shabby, but the atmosphere at the scene is very warm.
Fang Yu appeared on the red carpet alone, he didn't have a female companion, so he was directly exposed to everyone's camera.
When Fang Yu appeared on the red carpet, it also caused a sound of camera clicking.
On this kind of red carpet, especially on the red carpet of international events, every photo is especially worthy of the people standing on it, and when facing the photo, they will try to show their best side.
Especially for women, every time the film festival awards, in order to choose a suitable dress, it takes a lot of effort, manpower, and material resources.
On the red carpet, you have to do everything possible to compete with others.
But when it comes to documentary awards like this, there are a lot fewer similar things.
It's not that this award is unnoticed, the point is that this kind of award will always give people a much more serious impression than those film festival awards.
So they won't go too far in these places, that is, walk the red carpet honestly.
Fang Yu has no intention of doing this, he also hopes that he can be known by more people in the Western world, but that is through his own works, not hype on the red carpet.
Therefore, Fang Yu is even more well-behaved on the red carpet, and he will not dress out of place, but he will never exceed it.
After Fang Yu found his seat and sat down, the international award began today.
In fact, this is not the day when the documentary awards officially begin.
The Tulip International Documentary Awards will have a seven-day ceremony, and the six days before these seven days will be a rotation of documentaries and documentaries that have obtained tickets through public relations.
At this time, the Tulip International Documentary Awards are more of a documentary display platform.
Many documentaries can be shown here, attracting some film companies to buy the rights, and at the same time giving some judges a specific view of the documentary......
"A Bite of China" has a total of 7 episodes of documentaries, and the broadcasts here are all edited essence versions, and this film will be played in the screening hall today, so Fang Yu chose to come to the red carpet today.
Of course, the Tulip International Documentary Awards will soon start the closing ceremony, which will be held the day after tomorrow.
Today, Fang Yu and everyone watched the editing essence version of "A Bite of China" in the screening hall, and there were a lot of people in this screening hall, many people did shout that it was great while watching, and after the essence version of "A Bite of China" was played, there was applause at the scene.
In fact, in the Western world, there are already TV stations that have imported the copyright and translated it into their own languages.
It's just that today is here, and it's a different occasion, so I always have to play it again.
Judging from the current effect, it is still very good......
After the completion of this screening, soon, there were more people who negotiated with Fang Yu and them to introduce the copyright of "A Bite of China".
Among them, there are TV stations, and some are DVD production companies, who want to buy the copyright of "A Bite of China" and then make it into a DVD and sell it.
These specific questions were handed over to the talents in this area specially brought over this time to talk to them.
Otherwise, of course, Fang Yu himself didn't know the specific details, and it was not easy to talk to others.
Before the Tulip International Documentary Awards officially began, the copyright fee for "A Bite of China" had already been sold.
This time I came to Gaul, not to mention the award, at least in terms of economic benefits.
On the day of the closing ceremony, the award ceremony will officially begin!
The whole scene began to buzz with the sound of discussion, because there were too many people, so that the sound of the scene lasted for a long time.
However, by the time the host officially came on stage and the lights were particularly bright, the noise had basically disappeared, and the scene was getting quieter and quieter.
Everyone is waiting for the ceremony to start on time.
Fang Yu was also waiting for the start of the award ceremony, he had met a few people at this Grand Prix in the past few days, but these were not important people.
He is not particularly popular in the Western world, and naturally he will not know some top people all at once.
Of course, contacts also have to be accumulated slowly, from the low to the top.
It's not that Fang Yu is not good at sociability, it's just that he doesn't feel the need to spend too much time on things he doesn't like.
Anyway, deep down, he doesn't like to socialize.
He's here to get to know some people, it's just a need.
Now, the two corrupt people beside him, whom he had known before, had stopped whispering.
At the beginning of the award ceremony, the awards ceremony did not start with the big prizes all at once, but started with some small awards.
Soon, the award for best cinematography began to be awarded, and sure enough, although "A Bite of China" was nominated, it did not become the final winner.
Fang Yu and "A Bite of China" only have one chance left.
missed the Best Photography Award, in fact, this is what Fang Yu and most people expected.
After all, such awards are more selectively awarded to Western documentaries, and at this point, everyone can understand.
Sure enough, it was a documentary from Hamburg that won the award for best cinematography.
Because he had already thought of it and had expected it, Fang Yu had no regrets about this result.
What's more, "A Bite of China" is not the only one such an award nomination, in fact, "A Bite of China" will compete for the Best New Talent Award next.
In this award, "A Bite of China" still has some competitiveness.
As one award after another was being awarded, the scene gradually quieted down, and some people had already walked to a bar corridor in the middle in advance.
The ceremony lasted for more than three hours, in order to avoid boredom during the three hours.
That's why there's a small bar next to it where you can enjoy free drinks.
However, of course, the main purpose of this kind of place is not to let people come here for a drink, but to have a social ...... here
Many people come to such award ceremonies, and when they don't hear about their nominations for a while, they will choose to come to this bar corridor, have some drinks, and meet a few friends.
In that case, even if you don't get an award, you will have fewer regrets.
In the entertainment industry, if you meet more friends, many times you can always have one more way.
Fang Yu had been sitting on the stool for the time being, and had not come over to participate in such an activity.
He doesn't think there's a lot of need to get to know some friends in documentaries, after all, this kind of networking is not something you ask for from others.
If necessary. It is also possible for others to do something through you, and this is the reciprocity of networking.
Of course, another reason is that he has to wait in his seat for the award of the Best Documentary Director of the Year Award.
The lights on the stage dimmed again, and after some very French cabaret performances, the hostess in a long red dress walked out of the light.
In the microphone, he said: "Next we are going to present a promising award, the previous award represents some glory and the past. And this award represents the future! This is the Best Documentary Director of the Year Award, which can be nominated for this award. They are all rookie directors who are officially shooting documentaries for the first time, but their works can often make different voices in our sight. Let's present this award. ”
Then she began to read out several emerging directors who had been nominated for the award.
Fang Yu's name is in the third.
For this emerging director award, only one nomination from Fang Yu is from Asia, and the others are basically from European and American countries.
After the reading was completed, the clips of their respective films were played on the big screen.
Everyone's film will have a little editing, and in the bottom right corner of the screen, the live camera captures the expression of each nominee at this moment.
When it was the turn of "A Bite of China". There are golden fields, but also blue skies and white clouds.
There are also beautiful dishes floating in front of everyone's eyes.
This ushered in the attention of many people, and the vast majority of people who have watched this documentary can't help but think of the fascinating scenes in the feature film of "A Bite of China" in their minds.
"I want to go back to that show again......" some people thought in their heads.
Indeed, they now want to go back to watch "A Bite of China" again.
And in the lower right corner of such a large screen, Fang Yu's real-time expression captured from the high-definition camera at this moment was playing.
At this time, Fang Yu's expression was very calm, and he didn't seem to have the complicated feelings of anticipation and tension before the awards.
Compared to the others, Fang Yu was the youngest, but he was the calmest one.
This made everyone at the scene feel a little magical.
"And in the end, it was ...... who won the Best Documentary Director of the Year Award"
The host deliberately dragged out the tone, and then said the name loudly: "Fang Yu from Huaxia!" ”
The applause at the scene rang out, and in the close-up of Fang Yu's expression on the big screen, he still looked very calm, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
This award was finally won by myself!
Fang Yu's heart was also a little excited, he was able to win such an award just after filming "A Bite of China", and Fang Yu was quite satisfied.
Such an international documentary award is still very golden, and in some places it is also a stepping stone, a resume that is known to everyone, and if he has something like a movie in Europe and the United States in the future, this is the capital behind him.
Of course, for China, Fang Yu can win such an award, and his aura will be a little more.
As the camera continued to capture, Fang Yu walked onto the podium with unhurried steps and took the trophy from the host.
Then facing everyone below, he bowed, and then he looked at the camera and everyone.
"Thank you to the jury for giving me this award, and thank you to Tulip for giving me such a nice award! I am also grateful to the mountains and rivers and food of my motherland, it gave me inspiration to make this "A Bite of China" that I can appear in, and thank all those who support and care about me. ”
There was another round of applause in the audience, and in the eyes of many people at this moment, Fang Yu was a well-deserved focus.
There is no doubt that he can have such achievements at his age, and it also makes everyone feel a kind of sincere envy.
"Finally won the prize!"
Fang Yu returned to his seat with this trophy in his arms, and at the same time, many Fang Yu fans from Huaxia who were watching this live broadcast immediately became happy.
Fang Yu went to Gaul, and from everyone's point of view, he also hoped that he could get a good award.
But everyone also knows that it is not easy to win such a grand prize abroad.
Therefore, now Fang Yu's fans will feel very excited because of this achievement, and they also know that from today onwards, Fang Yu's aura has increased again.
