The sea breeze in the distance blew on Chen Kai's face.

A touch of sunset came from the horizon, and finally disappeared into the sea, dyed a microwave blood red.

The feeling of warmth is much better than the withering of everything in Huaxia.

November 6.

This is the last day of the commercial screening of the Southern California International Film Awards.

In the early hours of tomorrow morning, it will also be the last screening of "The Legend of Tang Cat".

After the last screening, it was the closing ceremony of the Southern California International Film Awards, which was also the opening day of the awards.

"The copyright of this R book has been successfully negotiated, and the film R film company is very optimistic about it, and it also has a very high evaluation, saying that it may be the most anticipated Chinese film in the history of R Ben ...... box office."

"[Southern California Film Trade Area] There are many film companies who want our film rights, and we are one of the most high-profile films in this year's year, among the films that have not yet participated."

The assistant's voice rang on the phone.

When he heard this voice, Chen Kai suddenly felt a little in a trance.

He pulled a cigarette out of his pocket and stood on the balcony, staring at the gauzy sea in the distance.

The memory seems to go back to that early summer many years ago.

That year, "Xiang Chu" appeared on the stage of the [Cannes International Film Festival].

This is the first time that a Chinese film has been shortlisted and has been nominated for this prestigious award.

Tide of applause and cheers, rushing from all directions, when standing on the day of the highest award of the [Cannes International Film Festival], as a screenwriter and assistant director, how high-spirited is he?

After that time, Mr. Wu Guanli stopped making movies.

His father also died of illness......

When the older generation gradually came to an end, Chen Kai once thought that his own era had come!

He boasted that he was full of talent, that he had the right to speak in the new era of Chinese movies, and that he had been sharpening his sword for many years, and that his sword could finally be unsheathed without being shrouded by his predecessors.

However......

"Thorn Qin" failed at the box office and word of mouth.

The ambitious "Tianji" was scolded so much that he didn't know what to do......

"The Feast of the Han Dynasty" is still scolded, and the box office still can't make any splashes......

……

All the above movies hit the streets in China, and there is no news overseas.

Blow after blow, the anger in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he became more and more lonely, even paranoid like a ghost.

He's going to win once!

Then, he came with "The Legend of Tang Cat" again!

This "The Legend of Tang Cat", he put more effort than any movie, from the script to the actors, from the scene matching to the final scene, from Hollywood special effects to day and night carving.

In order to create a feast of bliss that will shock countless people!

The effect of [Commercial Screening] is very good!

Although there are still some people who scold him for not even telling a story after watching the movie, it is undeniable that countless audiences who walked into the cinema were shocked by the [Feast of Bliss] he created!

Before the official premiere of Huaxia, the rights to Japan have been sold, and the partner company of the R side is even more satisfied!

Maybe......

The era that has been waiting for many years has finally officially arrived at the moment when "The Legend of Tang Cat" was screened.

After a cigarette is smoked.

It was getting late in the distance.

Chen Kai looked at the bustling and noisy sea of people below, as well as the theater that had been sleepless all night in the distance.

"Tomorrow morning's last screening, we're going to wrap it up well......"

After arranging various matters for tomorrow in detail with his assistant on the phone, Chen Kai returned to the room and prepared to sleep for a while.

But then, the phone rang.

This time the call was actually from the organizer, and Chen Kai answered the phone as soon as possible.

At first, there was a smile on his face, but then the smile became shocking and unbelievable, and eventually his face gradually turned a little green.

"What do you say? Tomorrow's last screening, want to give us a refund? ”

"Why do we want to return the money, didn't we say okay? I still want to discuss with you guys, add one more screening, why don't you ......"

"What? Are you going to withdraw our [Southern California International Film Awards] award ceremony? Why withdraw? Neuropathy is not! ”

"What! President of the [Chinese Film Association], Li Qingming said that he wants to take our group of Chinese directors to leave the [Southern California International Film Awards]? ”

"I***!"

“……”

Chen Kai's eyes widened violently, and finally, he stared at the hung up phone.

The next moment, he put on a dress and hurried out of the hotel, and as soon as he walked out of the hotel, he saw the assistant coming over with documents.

"Director Chen, this is tomorrow's event arrangement, we ......"

"Arrange a fart!"

“……”

………………………………

When Li Qingming left Zhang Sheng's office, his face sank.

Since he became the president of the [Huaxia Directors Association], no one has ever spoken to him so unceremoniously.

"I am kind, I hope that more directors and more films will participate in this award to make the [Southern California International Film Awards] more lively!"

"We are all Chinese filmmakers, we have never had any selfishness, and I never thought that I would get anything through the [Southern California International Film Awards]...... I just want more and better Chinese films to be able to appear on the international stage and add glory to our China......"

"But he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......"

"If, I said, if all the directors of Huaxia are gone, then, in the world, what is this award?"

“……”

in the bedroom.

Li Qingming added fuel and vinegar to follow the leader's reaction.

After listening to this, the leaders simply reassured a few words, saying that they would pay attention to this matter and follow up.

After making the call, Li Qingming was still angry.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the hotel.

One by one, the Chinese directors walked in.

"Chairman Lee!"

"Chairman Lee......"

"Chairman Lee......"

“……”

He saw one director after another walking in one after another.

With a smile, he beckoned these directors to take their seats one by one, looking at these directors with different faces, some were excited, some were angry, some were smiling, and some were asking......

Li Qingming's expression gradually became extremely serious: "You all know it? ”

These directors did not respond, and Director Chen Kai, who came in later, had gloomy eyes.

Li Qingming said quietly: "I have been in this position for many years, and I have always been very supportive of the younger generations, and I have always paid attention to the development of the film industry...... But, maybe I'm old, or maybe it's ...... I originally wanted to push more movies to the international market, so that everyone's copyright can be sold better, and I even chatted with Zhang Sheng about [Commercial Screening], I hope that our own Huaxia Film Awards should be selfless and not mixed with any interests...... However, I never imagined that one day I would be threatened by a young man who had not grown all his hair...... Heh......"

10 million in a movie!

Li Qingming doesn't know how many complaints he has heard from directors in the Directors Guild.

Li Qingming looked at the directors one by one, his expression became more and more gentle, and he has been paving the way for all these years of diligence.

Then, be prepared to wait until the foreshadowing is complete, and then ......

At this moment, the [Southern California International Film Awards] is no longer the pheasant award it once was.

They're staring!

There are many directors from Huaxia who participated in the exhibition, and many of the five generations of directors participated.

This is a force, if united, it is a force that cannot be underestimated, and he controls this force, which is equivalent to controlling the right to speak!

Before the award ceremony is about to start, if these people can follow him and make trouble together, even if Zhang Sheng does not compromise, the leaders above will also take into account the overall situation and force Zhang Sheng to compromise.

Then, he appeared on the stage of the [Southern California International Film Awards], and then ......

"Zhang Sheng is a capital, and capital only looks at money!"

"Ten million, huh......"

“……”

He sneered as he spoke.

But......

found that the atmosphere in the whole room, except for a few young directors whose nominations were rejected, and the core directors in their own faction, became more and more weird.

Li Qingming also realized this, and then, he took a deep breath: "We have to unite, we have a greater right to speak, and the right to speak at the [Southern California International Film Awards] must be firmly in our hands!" ”

"Today, I will discuss with you, if you are willing to listen to me, then, let's write a joint letter to the boss together!"

"There are so many of us, we have made such a great contribution to the Chinese film industry, we ......"

“……”

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere of the whole scene was still very weird.

There was applause, but the applause was very small.

He was a little dazed.

Just when he was about to talk about his plan again, he saw Gao Yuan, the director of "Thunder", frowning: "Chairman Li, we have to think about the overall situation, the right to speak or something, we can talk about it in the future, but now, this film awards ceremony, we must do it!" ”

"If you miss this opportunity, will you wait for the next one, the next one......"

Gao Yuan's words made Li Qingming unbelievable, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Kai next to him: "It's too ugly to make trouble at this time, President Li, I hope you go to Zhang Sheng to have a good chat, there are some things you can't say, I'll say it...... Zhang ShengWe all know very well, this person is a madman in the business circle, despicable and indiscriminate things, willing to do anything, I just received a message from Zhang Sheng, he has taken my seat, as well as my screening......"

When Chen Kai was talking, the phone rang, and then, Chen Kai's face was gloomy and terrifying: "This madman has already returned all the 20 million that will be screened tomorrow to my account!" ”

"President Li, Zhang Sheng, this person, everyone can see it, he flips the table at every turn, I heard that before it became a trend, the relevant departments dared to slap the table...... It's a big deal for him to do nothing and run back to his own business field, but we are different, we can shoulder the façade of Chinese movies, and we must not ...... at this time If we do that, what do you want the higher authorities to think of us? This is the movie awards that everyone is staring at! ”

“……”

"Yes, Chairman Lee, let's not stand on the opposite side of the big picture! Should you endure it, or should you endure it......"

“……”

"In this way, President Li, let's come forward to find Zhang Sheng together, it's really not good, let's let Zhou Songtao, the leader of the relevant departments, be here? Let's let him come forward and suppress this matter first, so that he doesn't make such a fuss, otherwise everyone will not look good...... And Mr. Wu is a judge, we all ran away, isn't Mr. Wu even more ugly on his face? Think twice about this! ”

“……”

"Chairman Li, either you are wronged and find Zhang Sheng again in person......"

“……”

Voices rang out in the room.

When a person's decision will damage the interests of many people, then, even if he is in a high position, he will still be besieged!

Li Qingming's face turned red, and a sense of anger was already evident on his face: "Why, at this time, you are not united, but you still say these words?" The right to speak, the right to speak, this time, you bow to capital, we will have no right to speak tomorrow, why do you ......"

"Forget it!" Just when Li Qingming said this, he saw Chen Kai stand up: "I'll go talk to Mr. Zhang myself!" You continue to wait for your right to speak! ”

With that, he walked out of the room, and then slammed the door shut.

Subsequently......

Gao Yuan also stood up, opened the door with a frown, and left.

With the departure of the two great directors Gao Yuan and Chen Kai, other directors also began to look different.

Subsequently......

"I've got something, I'll go first!"

"President Chen, I have an upset stomach, go to the toilet first......"

"President Chen, the matter of the joint letter is a little late, I support it, but I am a small director...... This time I paid 20 million for two premieres, and I ...... I don't know how to support it......"

“……”
