Liu Bei got Su Changqing's phone call from Chen Jin, and he was very excited when he called: "These two film festivals started almost at the same time, and I tried them all with my friends on a whim, but I didn't expect to kill two birds with one stone!"

They went to eight people and stayed in Europe for almost a month, and although only two of them were serious participants, they could be divided into two teams.

It's really easy to fool in the era of no network and poor communication, anyway, foreigners believe that these people are the main creators of the competition, and they may not care, after all, there are many producers participating in the exhibition.

Although the Crystal Globe Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is not as good as the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Berlin Golden Bear, after all, it is also an international A-category award, and the last domestic film that won the award was "Furong Town" five years ago.

Chen Jin said that there was an endless stream of reporters, and some reporters couldn't interview the main creators after coming two or three times, and they were a little unhappy.

These people couldn't afford to offend, so Su Changqing immediately returned to Beijing.

Although it is no longer a big deal for the film to win foreign awards, it is still few after all, not to mention that it has won two awards in a row, the news value is still very high, and the reporters also have delivery tasks, and everyone has to cooperate with each other.

Originally, it was unlikely that the two international film festivals would have collided like this, but the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival was in Czechoslovakia, and last year the country was divided, and some things were messed up.

I remember calling Du Keke the next day of rebirth, she said that Czechoslovakia was divided a few days ago, and now it is almost exactly a year, Su Changqing joked at the time that it was none of his business, it seems that it was too early to say this.

At that time, the diplomatic department was going to make a film about the past and present life of Czechoslovakia, and Du Keke asked Su Changqing to call Hu Ji to ask if he could help, so he hooked up with her and met Xu Fan and others.

Now he has won the Crystal Ball Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czechoslovakia, which can be regarded as a providence in the dark.

If he had the opportunity to make a film about his past and present lives at that time, he would probably win the prize, Su Changqing is good at controlling similar themes, and he can make a movie for this award.

People born again have the advantage of knowing what they were thinking back then and what happened afterward, and prophetic compositions can easily hit the soft spot of the judges and the audience.

Su Changqing returned to Beijing and immediately entered the state, and cooperated with the investor garment enterprise association to start publicity.

The association is busy reporting to the General Textile Association and the Ministry of Light Industry to apply for awards, even if it is a dead letter, and then it can be named on the poster.

Su Changqing organized reporters to watch the film, and it was difficult for them to write articles if they hadn't seen the film.

Liu Bei quickly returned to China, and Su Changqing revealed her flight, so a press conference was held at the airport.

As the leading actors, of course, Hu Ji and Xu Fan can't be pulled down, all activities must be accompanied throughout the process, and the participating models are also involved, and the momentum must be there.

Of course, Xu Fan is very happy, the starring works have made achievements, and he finally has a beautiful stroke on his resume.

Hu Ji was not very active, and saw Su Changqing still with a drooping face, but this is the duty of an actor and part of his work, and refusing to attend will arouse suspicion and attention from reporters.

Everywhere he went, the flashing lights kept flashing, Su Changqing has always been very calm, and he is also very indifferent to reporters, as if winning the award is a matter of course.

He is indeed very calm in his heart, "Model Team" is a niche movie, which may not meet the taste of the current audience, and the situation of award-winning works often happens to six generations of directors.

The audience's interest is elusive, Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" series does not have the problem of high and low music, and the box office of the cross-strait and three places is still so high that I can't cry, but I didn't expect it to suddenly become popular two years later, and it has become a comedy classic, and even derived a lot of philosophical interpretations.

Why is this happening?

No one can explain it clearly, anyway, it is impossible for the earthlings to change in two years.

Su Changqing also knows very well that it is impossible for a film with this theme to be vigorously promoted by the official, and the heat will fade after a few press conferences, and the film must be submitted for review while the iron is hot, which is Liu Bei's main work in the future.

In addition to dealing with reporters, Su Changqing seized the time to make some changes to the film, mainly to increase the scenes of Zhou Xun, and take advantage of the public screening to praise a handful of promising newcomers, and if there are more scenes, he will be able to occupy a place on the poster.

This is also a routine operation in the industry, and the overseas award-winning version is likely to be different from the domestic release, and a lot of content has been deleted.

He also considered editing the footage that was too sharp in order to match the submission, but ultimately did not do so.

It may be possible to downplay the contradictions, but it is against the original intention to be sorry for the investors, not to mention that he has avoided many landmines with experience, so it is not a big problem for a film that does not involve politics to pass the review.

"Model Team" won a double award, and the crew of "The Princess's Decision" was as excited as the crew of "The Princess's Decision".

Hu Ji starred in two films, and the choreographer Su Changqing is the chief planner of "The Princess's Decision", with the blessing of double awards, it is equivalent to a guaranteed box office.

Anyway, no one is worried about the conflict of Hu Ji's character image now.

However, reality soon gave them a scoop of cold water, when Tianyan was separated from the fourth dimension, Su Changqing wrote very clearly in black and white when he signed the planning of "The Princess's Decision", and he was not named in the film.

That also means that "The Princess's Decision" can't use Su Changqing as a publicity stunt to the outside world.

It's like watching a cooked duck fly past you.

Du Keke was still nervous, after all, he had the dignity of self-reliance and independent creation, but Ding Jialuo didn't care about this, and directly called Su Changqing to come out for dinner, and talked about something serious after congratulations.

Su Changqing has been busy these days, and she really doesn't have time to eat and chat, she understands what she wants to talk about, and she doesn't beat around the bush: "You want to talk about planning the title?"

"It's indeed this problem, Director Su proposed not to name it at the beginning, although we were reluctant but still respected your wishes, but this film was obviously planned by you, and it will be spread sooner or later, and your refusal to title it will make people misunderstand that they are not satisfied with the film, then we have been busy for most of the year in vain, and tens of millions of investments may also be wasted. ”

There is some truth to this, but Ding Jialuo exaggerated, and the box office of her film has to rely on Europe.

However, with the blessing of the double award planning, the performance of the European side should be better.

Ding Jialuo can be regarded as soft, with the completion of "The Princess's Decision", she once made up her mind to blast Su Changqing out of Beijing, and it has been implemented.

However, now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, this guy has won an award, and it is a double international award, and it is no longer something she can move casually, so she will take the initiative to come up again.

You have to be able to bend and stretch, not to mention that you have never tore your face in public.

Su Changqing was also very polite: "At the beginning, there were some things that were inconsistent, and you didn't insist on my title, which is a problem left over from history." ”

At the beginning, everyone had disagreements on the issue of circle money, but now it seems that this insistence is a bit of a green tea, and how to make money is not a circle.

People are constantly growing in the face of reality, and Su Changqing is the same.

Ding Jialuo was a little coquettish: "I insist on the title now, Director Su, I was cultivated by you, and the candidates for "The Princess's Decision" are all determined by you, and you can't leave us at a critical moment." ”

Even said that he cultivated it with one hand, can he not give this face?

Su Changqing was very refreshing: "Then name it, I have to see your specific publicity plan." ”

Ding Jialuo was very happy: "That's a must, of course you have to see it." ”

Su Changqing has been reborn for a whole year, and after tossing and turning this year, he has understood many truths, and some dreams are about to be unbearable.

In fact, the results of this year are good, and after making a two-step film, he won two international awards, and he can be regarded as getting ahead and stepping into the ranks of first-class directors.

But only first-class directors.

Can all of this be done without the blessings of rebirth?

With his talent, he may be able to do it after a few years of hard work, but if he wants to do it at the beginning of his graduation, and at the same time buy a courtyard house and create a brand, it should not be possible.

However, the nature of the country is easy to change, and this year he has made the mistake of being arrogant and arrogant when he was at Nortel, and he thinks too highly of himself, but he does not make full use of the advantages of rebirth.

Having won two grand prizes at the same time, he seemed to see the ceiling through the dazzling flashing lights.

What's next?

According to Stephen Chow's words: "I reached the peak of my life at a young age, and the next thing I had to do was to die." ”

However, this was not the pinnacle of Su Changqing's expectations.

Continue to win awards, and win all the international awards?

So what?

Chen Kaige has won more than 30 awards in two years for "Farewell My Concubine", and he has not let go of the horns, but that's it.

If you follow this road, you will end up just a famous director and a successful businessman in this life, and you will be 108,000 miles away from your ideal.

Winning the award allowed him to see the end of the road, and at the same time, it completely opened his horizons.

It's time for a change.

Talking to her mother on the phone, she hesitated and asked: "I have been reading the newspaper in the past two days, and it seems that there is a director with the same name as you who has won an international award, have you noticed?"

"Mom, that's me. ”

"Is that you?!Why don't you tell me and your dad?"

"A little insignificant achievement. ”

Mom cried: "Changqing, you have changed, and you have begun to hide something from us." ”
