No one paid attention to Zhu Lu's words.
Wu Shangjie was thinking about what other methods he could use to show how awesome he was.
Catherine was thinking about what other methods she could use to get Fang Yuan.
"Scattered and scattered..."
I don't know who set this cell phone ringtone, but this song is very old.
Wu Shangjie answered the phone: "Hello!"
He started talking in English, and Fang Yuan couldn't understand him, so he just took out his phone and started playing.
He found that Huang Xiaotong had sent him a message saying that the pre-opening screening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival had begun and that Fang Yuan must attend.
It turns out that there will be an internal film viewing event before the opening of the Venice International Film Festival.
Under normal circumstances, the judges will watch the participating films in advance.
So that we can make the most correct evaluation in the next few days.
After all, the films that come to participate in the Venice International Film Festival are generally more difficult to understand and have deeper cores.
However, this preview, called the "Pre-opening Preview Ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival," can determine whether a film will win an award at the final awards ceremony.
Fang Yuan didn't care whether he won the award or not, but he wanted to see the judges' reactions after watching "Country Love".
From these people’s reactions, we can infer how much money "Country Love" will lose after its release.
Fang Yuan replied to Huang Xiaotong: Okay, I will attend.
The original film file of "Country Love" has been passed to the jury of the Venice International Film Festival through Huang Xiaotong.
Fang Yuan was also introduced to the staff of the Venice International Film Festival, and he can just go there directly when the time comes.
Wu Shangjie hung up the phone, suddenly stood up and yelled.
“Ahahaha!”
Everyone looked at Wu Shangjie, wondering why he suddenly turned into a monkey.
Wu Shangjie couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising.
"Good news, everyone! Our film has been selected for the Venice International Film Festival's pre-opening screening ceremony. This means that we have a high chance of winning an award at the peripheral level."
When Wu Shangjie said this, Catherine next to him couldn't help but applaud.
"That's great! I never thought that our "Kiki and Lucy" would actually win an award at the Venice Film Festival! Now when I go back to America, those white rednecks will kneel down and kiss my shoes!"
The two brothers Hou Wen and Hou Wu jumped for joy just like two monkeys.
"Hahahaha, Director Wu, congratulations. You are the first Chinese director to win a peripheral award at the Venice International Film Festival!"
"Director Wu, I told you that you can do it! Look, the judges of the Venice Film Festival are all discerning and have good taste. Your movies are really no worse than those made by white directors!"
"Thank you, thank you."
Wu Shangjie's eyes instantly filled with tears. He pursed his lips and tried hard to hold back the tears, but he couldn't do it.
"first……"
Wu Shangjie paused and began to speak.
"I want to thank my father for always supporting me. Even when I resolutely left the capital and went to America where I was unfamiliar with the place, he still supported me."
"Then, I want to thank my mother. She is a very typical East Asian woman. She will endure all humiliation for the sake of her family and children. But what I want to tell her is that her child has already made it big!"
"at last……"
Wu Shangjie looked at the brothers Hou Wen and Hou Wu, as well as the film investor Catherine, the script editor Lin Yan, and the two film stars Tang Rou and Xu Kexin.
"I want to thank my team. It is their full cooperation that made it possible for me to make such a movie. I believe that my success can give more frustrated directors a shot in the arm. I want to tell them to stick to it until you succeed. Thank you!"
Fang Yuan stared at Wu Shangjie in a daze. He couldn't understand why Wu Shangjie suddenly started talking about his acceptance speech.
Moreover, this acceptance speech was very typical of thanking this and that.
But……
Fang Yuan scratched his head. Isn’t it just a peripheral area?
"Isn't it just a peripheral? Is it necessary to be so sensational?"
What Fang Yuan was thinking was already said by Nie Yutian.
Fang Yuan stared at Nie Yutian with his eyes wide open. He didn't expect this girl to have such a hot temper.
However, this time Nie Yutian became Fang Yuan's substitute, and he really wanted to complain about this.
After Nie Yutian said this, Wu Shangjie, who was about to be moved to tears, instantly lost that feeling of being moved.
"Forehead……"
Wu Shangjie also felt that he had overacted a bit.
If he were an actor and behaved like this in front of the camera, I'm afraid the director would scold him to death.
“Ahem…”
Wu Shangjie coughed lightly, and then said to the brothers Hou Wen and Hou Wu: "Just now, the jury of the Venice International Film Festival invited us to attend the pre-opening screening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival. I think we shouldn't be late, so let's go now. There is less than an hour left before the pre-opening screening ceremony of the Venice International Film Festival."
The two brothers Hou Wen and Hou Wu immediately agreed, "Indeed, career is the most important thing. We came here for the Venice International Film Festival, didn't we?"
Catherine also frowned, even though they were reluctant to part with the young hunk Fang Yuan.
