Three years ago.

There's just a lot of open space.

The lighting is sponsored by [Xiaoliang Lamps], and the chairs are sponsored by Qi Haifeng's [Qi's Home].

Qi Haifeng's father and Li Bin took the construction team of [Bird's Nest Decoration] together and set up the stage day and night.

Rudimentary equipment, often sizzling sounds......

Tom, the fake film critic, and a whole bunch of indigenous Brazilians act as spectators, sitting on wooden chairs provided by [Qi's Home], and they don't even know what is being shouted on stage......

There are also screenings and performances, but most of the movies shown are bad movies that the audience can't understand but think are very powerful, and the performances are also hula groups that are temporarily pulled over......

Almost everyone, including Qi Yufu himself, feels that this award is simply to fool those directors in China who worship foreign countries and cheat them out of a little money.

However, who would have thought that three years later, buildings will rise in the wasteland, and more and more Chinese tourists will crowd this area, scrambling for the first contestants, and the audience will be ......

………………………………

"Next, we solemnly invite, Mr. Wu Guanli, to present us with the first award of the 3rd [Southern California International Film Awards], the Best Props Award!"

“……”

The flickering light shone on Zhang Sheng's face.

The breeze is blowing, the cheongsam is fluttering in the wind, gently waving the folding fan, and making a chic gesture of invitation.

Then, in the inviting corner, the lights gradually turned on, and in the haze, dressed in plain clothes and smiling, as if Wu Guanli, the ancient master, walked in with a bamboo slip and a light smile.

As he walked, the screen behind them slowly lit up, and a quaint book was slowly being opened.

In the book, a chaotic side and radical rushed out of the book, rolling up a whirlpool, and when the whirlpool gradually subsided, those words were on the side, radicals, and formed a complete text.

These words scattered like a sky full of stars, and when they were put together again, they became the names of each movie.

Immediately after, underneath those movies, a personal name appeared.

Lin Lei, the prop master of the Chinese main theme movie "Flying Sky", ......

Scott, the prop master of the Russian film "Miracle of Life", ......

R movie "Flower of Evil" Ichiro Tatsukawa......

……

At the scene, many people stared blankly at a series of Chinese letters on the screen.

Some foreigners were stunned by the gorgeous special effects, but then, they pointed at them in confusion.

These words are not very friendly to them, only Chinese, no English, and only after the stills and pictures of these movies come out one by one, they can see the English names.

There was an uproar, but then it was interrupted by thunderous applause.

The world's universal language is English.

The three major film festivals in Europe are basically in English, and almost all of the films participating in the three major film festivals in China are in English, and Chinese is almost invisible in the major overseas film awards.

And the English translation of some movies is very straightforward, such as "Rogue Yizhimei" is translated into "Thief", for example, "Dragon Gate Inn" is translated into "Dragon Guest House", and "Farewell My Concubine" is translated into "Goodbye, My Little Cousin......

But......

Like now, the awards ceremony is all in Chinese, some overseas users can't help but point fingers, and even some film critics frowned.

Next to him, Zheng Shaoshuai, the former director of "Mountain City", had a somewhat ugly face.

He sat in the third row and came to the exhibition with his work "Autumn at the Age of Seventeen".

He glanced at the other filmmakers from overseas, and saw that some of those filmmakers were whispering and discussing the name of the movie, some were confused and guessed the movie after seeing the stills, but they were not sure, and some were simply ugly......

"Such a mess! Is this going to ruin the entire festival? ”

"At the very least, you have to put the English below!"

"Pure Chinese, who looks, do you want to persuade a few overseas filmmakers to retire?"

“……”

After Zheng Shaoshuai saw the expressions of these people, his expression became more and more ugly.

I even feel that as a Chinese, I have an indescribable sense of embarrassment.

In fact, when he walked into this venue, he felt uncomfortable, all the dregs of the old Chinese era, with wooden decorations and modern technology......

For a time, he was on pins and needles.

Movies are inherently Western.

To go international, you first have to be accepted and recognized by those overseas filmmakers, and you should at least show respect to overseas filmmakers who come from afar.

His mood was getting worse and worse, and he finally lowered his head, feeling that staying here for a second was torture.

"Congratulations, Mr. Scott, congratulations on the ...... of Miracle of Life"

on stage.

Wu Guanli was still smiling, and then slowly opened the bamboo slips one by one.

When he saw a line of words in the bamboo slip, Wu Guanli laughed, and after reading it, he put the bamboo slip slightly, and then, standing on the stage, followed Zhang Sheng, and made an invitation gift.

…………………………

The lights on the big screen came on instantly.

Scott watched in a daze as movie names changed again to radicals, radicals......

In the end, these radicals and radicals were dismantled in an instant, and became the most primitive, even the most basic, horizontal, vertical, apostrophe, and ......

In the combination, disassembly, and recombination, it becomes the words "Miracle of Life"!

When the spotlight shrouded himself, and the gentle and gauzy clouds filled the light, Scott was stunned!

Subsequently!

He quickly stood up.

Excitedly and excitedly, he ran towards the stage step by step.

It's been eleven years!

He has been in the film industry for eleven years.

In the past eleven years, he has participated in the production of many films.

Among them, there are the famous Hollywood zombie movies "The Living Dead", "The Walking Dead Cross", "I, Hero", as well as Hollywood monster movies "Godzilla", "Python", "Dragon Tide", ......

He is like a screw in the team, doing the hardest and most tiring work, but the person standing on the stage is never him.

The gears of fate suddenly befell him last year.

Last year, he received an invitation to the second [Southern California International Film Awards], and then, on behalf of "Avata", appeared on this stage.

Then, he met Chinese director Bi Feiyu and collaborated on a "Prisoner" that has been talked about to this day, and also met the director of "Purple Sun" Russian director Mikhalkov, and participated in the filming and prop production of this "Miracle of Life......

In this year, he has received recognition and honors that he has never had in the past.

The spotlight followed him all the way to the stage.

The fog was getting hazy and hazy, and when he got the trophy, his whole body trembled.

Compared with last year, the [Southern California International Film Awards] is becoming more and more lively and authoritative.

A number of media, film critics and producers from all over the world......

When he was about to give a speech, he suddenly stopped talking, and the speech that had been prepared became extremely chaotic in an instant.

And then......

"Thank you, my parents...... Thank you, Mr. Zhang Sheng, and thank all the organizers and sponsors of the Southern California International Film Awards...... I ......"

“……”

Scott's voice was intermittent, sometimes he spoke English, sometimes he tried to speak particularly lame, if not for the authentic Chinese, he would not understand Chinese at all.

He knows that the [Southern California International Film Awards] has extraordinary significance for Zhang Sheng.

And this time, it seems to be an attempt.

Therefore, he has prepared and practiced Chinese.

At first, it was extremely lame, but in the end, I finally became a little more proficient.

When he had thanked everyone who should be thanked, he bowed to everyone.

………………………………

3:40 a.m.

In the Huaxia conference room.

After several leaders watched the foreigner walk off the stage in broken Chinese excitedly, the thin and tall leader nodded repeatedly.

He usually doesn't smile, but at this moment, his face can't hide his excitement.

This is a new window, but what is shown in the window is something that has never been shown in the history of global cinema.

Regardless of whether these things can be accepted by many people.

But, at least, someone has already taken a step forward.

"This is young people, bold and non-conformist!"

The tall and thin leader heard another slightly chubby leader next to him let out a voice of emotion.

Then, he looked down at another middle-aged man who was listening: "I think the position of president of the Huaxia Directors Association should be given to young people to try, what do you think?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned.

Then he nodded hurriedly.

In the midst of the brief discussion here......

The second round of the awards ceremony began.

This time......

The host changed to a girl.

It was CCTV beautiful reporter Shen Bingbing, at this moment, she was wearing a pink and white gown, coming with a fan, smiling like a flower but a little shy.

Under the hazy light, the slender tulle is like a fairy descending to earth.

Her appearance amazed the leaders of the conference room, and several middle-aged people were even more stunned.

And through the video......

Everyone heard a burst of exclamations.

Brief camera cuts......

Countless people were applauding, and countless overseas friends stood up excitedly.

She bowed slightly, followed everyone and saluted, and then, with a gentle and elegant voice, she looked at the audience below: "Below, I will preside, and the next awards ......"

Her voice, like a gust of wind, blew the hearts of everyone in the venue.

Screen in the rear......

In an instant, it suddenly lit up, and a scroll of paper slowly opened again......
