"Congratulations, the film has won the award!"

Jiang Qinqin's voice is not as sharp as most girls, slightly thick, in Li Tang's words, it has the meaning of a subwoofer, which is very recognizable.

This is probably related to her training in singing Peking Opera since she was a child.

"Yo, you're well informed!"

At the 29th Rotterdam International Film Festival, which just ended a few days ago, "Suzhou Creek" won the Golden Tiger Award.

The Rotterdam International Film Festival is unique in that it is the only international film festival without a red carpet, and secondly, it has three awards: Best Picture, Best Critic and Emerging Director, corresponding to the three Golden Tiger trophies, and there are no high or low awards. There is no such thing as the Best Actor and Actress awards.

"Suzhou River" won the New Director Award this time.

In addition, the Rotterdam Film Festival has an HBF fund dedicated to supporting film production in developing countries, which is a great attraction for struggling Chinese independent film directors.

Previously, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yuan, He Jianjun, Wang Xiaoshuai, and the newly rising Section Chief Jia have all received funding from this fund.

The so-called "Seven Gentlemen" incident, which later made a lot of noise, was a direct consequence of their "private" participation in this film festival.

And it is precisely because of the support of the fund that the prize money of this film festival is also quite generous, and there is a prize of 15,000 US dollars for winning a Golden Tiger Award. This is also very attractive to a group of poor people in the country.

Think about it, 15,000 US dollars, nearly 130,000 yuan. You must know that the "Xiao Wu" that made Chief Jia famous overnight in the first two years only cost a total of 200,000 yuan, and this movie alone made Chief Jia both famous and rich. It is said that when he was preparing to shoot "Platform" last year, he easily got tens of millions of investments.

This time, Lou Ye not only won the Golden Tiger Award in Rotterdam, but also won a prize of 15,000 US dollars, but also sold the copyrights of several countries and successfully recovered the investment. Next, he will go to various film festivals around the world, and the copyright income from the sale of the future will be a net profit.

The day before yesterday, when Li Tang and his father went to Uncle Lou's house to pay New Year's greetings, Lou Ye was still in Rotterdam, saying that he could only go to Shanghai today, and he estimated that he had already arrived home at this time.

Li Tang didn't take the initiative to call to congratulate, now that he knows, there is no need to be vain, everyone tacitly agrees.

Lou Ye likes this tone.

The reason why Li Tang said that Jiang Qinqin was well-informed was because he had won the award for a few days, and there was no report on this in China at all, and the only one who could get the news so quickly was insiders. More precisely, veterans in the circle and people in the independent film circle.

Thinking of the ex-boyfriend who has been with Jiang Qinqin for four years is a second-generation guide, he must know some people in this area, so it is not surprising.

Jiang Qinqin said on the phone: "Didn't I hear that "Suzhou River" was shortlisted for the Rotterdam International Film Festival last time, and you starred in it, so I paid attention to it, and I just got the news today." It's just a pity that there is no actor award at this film festival, otherwise maybe you can win an international actor! ”

"I don't dare to think of an international actor!"

To be honest, hearing Jiang Qinqin's words, Li Tang was a little moved in his heart, after all, people paid attention to the movie "Suzhou River" because of themselves.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Jiang Qinqin asked.

"If you don't do anything, just sit and drink tea and read."

"Why don't you help cook Chinese New Year's Eve...... Oh yes, your family is a restaurant, you don't need your little boss to do it, just wait to eat ready-made. ”

Speaking of the little boss, Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but laugh.

"No, the hotel is closed, and my dad is doing it, but he thinks I'm in the way and won't let me help."

In fact, when it comes to the little boss Li Tang, he is quite helpless, and the aunt in the hotel used to call him that. Now he is a celebrity in his hometown, big and small, the countrymen are very simple, it's okay to call his name behind his back, but it always feels a little rude to call him in person. I don't know when it started, the title of "little boss" in the mouths of the aunts in my own hotel spread, and even the driver of the black car that Li Tang sent Jiang Qinqin and Xiao Tang to the airport last time saw that he was also called "little boss".

"Wow, my uncle can cook!"

"You're not talking nonsense, the owner of the restaurant doesn't know how to cook, what restaurant he opens, and he doesn't know if he's been cheated."

"Then why can't you, a little boss, cook?"

"I said that I am a small boss, and there is a boss above, so it is not my turn. Hey, do you know how to cook? ”

"Of course, I was still helping my mother make tamales and glutinous rice balls just now."

"Hey, don't you eat hot pot in Chongqing for the New Year?"

"Do you think that we Chongqing people eat hot pot for a meal, of course, we cook a table of dishes like you during the New Year. In addition to hot pot, we also have a lot of delicious dishes in Chongqing. I'm thinking about my mother's roasted white and kung pao shrimp balls right now......"

"What is burnt white?"

"Roast white is similar to your button meat, but our meat here is a little fatter."

"Then you still eat, aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

"Didn't you say it, I gain three pounds every festival, I am mentally prepared, at most I will lose it back after the New Year......"

The two talked on the phone for more than an hour, and they didn't hang up until Li Tang's mobile phone battery alarmed, and Jiang Qinqin asked Li Tang to bring Uncle Li a good New Year's greeting, and said that he would definitely come to the restaurant again if he had a chance in the future.

For more than an hour, roaming throughout the whole process, two-way charging, six cents per minute, and a phone call will reduce the phone bill of dozens of yuan each.

At this point, the sun had completely set, and it felt a little cold to sit on the balcony. Li Tang returned to the house, changed the battery, and just turned on the phone when a call came in.

Coincidentally, it was Fan Xiaopang.

"Hey ......"

As soon as the phone was connected, before Li Tang could speak, he heard Xiaopang's voice full of excitement: "Teacher Li, Teacher Li, I got the role of Yue Siying, the female number one in "Li Wei as an Official"!" ”

Li Tang was surprised and very happy, his hard work was finally not in vain.

He hurriedly asked, "When is it?" ”

"Just this afternoon, Mr. Jiang suddenly called me, first said that he would pay a New Year's greeting in advance, and then told me the news, saying that since it has been decided, he will give it to me as a New Year's gift and let me have a good New Year. The specific details of the contract will be discussed after the New Year. ”

Yo, I didn't expect Jiang Xuerou to be quite good at operating, and a phone call made Xiaopang grateful. Emotional intelligence is indeed high, and for the same thing, choosing the right timing has a big difference.

Li Tang thought for a while and said, "Then how is your current agent's matter, you can't talk about it yourself then, right?" ”

"It's okay, my mom said she'll help me talk when the time comes, and my mom is now my temporary agent."

"Your mother, she's ......"

Li Tang thought of the scene where Fan's mother was talking about the contract with Jiang Xuerou with a big belly, and he knew what to say.

Xiaopang heard Li Tang's subtext and said with a smile: "It's okay, my mother said, you should pay attention in the first three months, and now it's almost five months, it's okay." Oh yes, my parents also said that they would like to thank you this time, and the next time you come to the capital, our family will invite you to dinner. ”

"You don't have to eat, as long as you play the role well, don't embarrass me. Xu Zheng, who is playing against you, is my senior brother, this guy has always wanted to see my jokes, understand? ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely not embarrass you this time!"

……

In the middle of the hotel lobby, the ancestral tablets are placed in rows, and the table in front of them is placed with chicken, duck, fish, pork, and beef instead of five animals, as well as fruits, cakes, etc.

The father and son cleaned their faces, cleaned their hands, changed their clothes, and stood in front of the ancestral tablet.

In the middle of the top is the tablet of Li Tang's grandfather, who is the most outstanding figure in the Li family in modern times, it is said that he was a famous prodigy at the age of sixteen, but he did not wait for the township test, and I canceled the imperial examination system in the Qing Dynasty. Grandpa had no choice but to live in this countryside, and then went to Shanghai to do business, saving thousands of acres of land for his family. In the year the Japanese came in, my grandfather died in grief.

The following is the tablet of Li Tang's grandparents. In fact, according to his father, there are many ancestors and ancestors of the Li family, and when he worshiped his ancestors when he was a child, he had to have dozens of tablets, but later, everyone who understood understood it, smashed it and burned it all. Later, his grandparents also passed away, and the only things Lao Li could remember were Li Tang's great-grandfather and grandparents.

As for Li Tang's grandparents, they are all responsible people, but unfortunately they have encountered a change of dynasty, and it is a great luck to be able to survive, but they still haven't escaped what is behind.

The Li family's heirs are difficult, grandpa and grandfather are over thirty years old before they have the next generation, and when it comes to Lao Li's generation, it is a hit, but unfortunately his wife ran away, leaving only Li Tang with a son.

"What about your trophies and certificates, hurry up and bring them over, let your grandfather and your grandparents take a good look at it in a while, our Li family finally has a good future."

Li Tang hurriedly went upstairs to take down the trophy of the Huabiao Award and the nomination certificate of the Golden Rooster Award and put them in the center of the table.

The father and son kowtowed respectfully, put on the incense, and then Lao Li Xu chattered about his son's achievements, Huabiao Award and Golden Rooster Award are all national-level awards, and they will definitely be able to glorify their ancestors if they want to put it aside.

It is said that there is an ancestral motto on the ancestor of the Li family called to learn literature and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family. Now that Li Tang has entered the public institution and won the award, it can be regarded as worthy of this ancestral training. The son he cultivated, Lao Li was full of pride.

The second watch, ask for votes!
