Chapter 53
As soon as he entered "City Walk", Zhang Boxuan keenly discovered that the upgraded game graphics were more delicate and realistic. When he walked in it, it felt like he was really walking in an underdeveloped small county town.
Brand new high-rise buildings are mixed among the gray low-rise buildings. There are wide and straight roads, as well as old roads with small stalls lined up in a crisscross pattern. The full atmosphere of life is overwhelming, and the shouting vendors and pedestrians on the roadside seem like real living people.
Of course he didn't know that this game was originally based on material from a movie, and the NPCs in the game were actually played by real people.
For this, Wanxiang also paid a considerable amount of copyright fees, which was almost the same as the production cost of the game itself.
Zhang Xuanbo, who had already prepared himself mentally, once again doubted whether he had really traveled through time.
He tentatively waved to a passerby nearby. Although he didn't touch anything, the fashionably dressed young girl glared back at him, called him a hooligan, and turned away.
Zhang Boxuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
This sense of reality is so scary!
Like several other games, although the player is restricted to the area of action, as long as he is within the area, he is still free to move. He can choose to act according to the game instructions, or he can explore freely and wander around.
In this kind of city street environment, he can even freely enter and exit the nearby shops, and the shop owners may even greet him.
That look, which is either attentive, cold, or even impatient at times, is so vivid!
The shots in the movie are not so detailed. This is an interactive effect that Wanxiang Interactive hired extra people to create for the gaming effect.
Since what we are pursuing is delicate and real, and we are not short of money, we might as well do it to the extreme - this has always been the style of Wanxiang Interactive.
At this time, seven or eight cars with red wedding characters and big flowers on them drove over one after another. From time to time, people in the cars threw candies out. The colorful, hard little candies wrapped in cellophane reflected colorful light in the sun.
Zhang Boxuan subconsciously said congratulations and tried to catch the candies, but unfortunately, the candies turned into tiny dots of light and disappeared in his palms.
Although there is still no sense of touch, this interactivity is obviously more awesome. It is like he is looking at another world from a distance. Although he cannot touch it, that world really exists, and these people also really live in that world.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Boxuan felt his scalp starting to tingle.
When he quit the game console, Zhang Boxuan was still a little dazed. He opened his mouth to say something to the clerk, but then closed it again.
He was always too embarrassed to actually ask the clerk whether the world in the game really existed.
When Zhang Boxuan was hesitating and didn't want to leave, he suddenly heard an alarm sound from a machine next to him, and the blue indicator light turned into a flashing red light.
He was startled and thought something big had happened. The young lady next to him, who had entered the machine and was sent out, was also startled and looked confused.
The technician rushed over and checked the machine. "Sorry, ma'am. This is our newly upgraded body monitoring system. The machine prompts that your current physical condition makes it temporarily unsuitable for you to play the game. I'm really sorry. We can only refund you."
Zhang Boxuan took a closer look at the girl. She was about the same age as him, dressed fashionably, had a rosy complexion, and didn't look like a sick person.
The girl who was refused the game was also angry and protested: "I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me, it must be your machine that's broken!"
The clerk stretched his head to look at the screen panel, then looked back at the girl, then lowered his voice and whispered to her: "Madam, the instrument shows that you may be pregnant."
"How is it possible? I just did it last month..." The girl's voice suddenly stopped, as if she remembered something, but she seemed unsure. "It's impossible. How can it be such a coincidence? Besides, this is just a game console, not a detector in the hospital. How can it be so magical?"
The staff could only smile and insist on a refund.
Zhang Boxuan, who was listening on the side, also felt that it was not very reliable.
If a game console can be used for physical examinations, then what is the need for hospitals?
More importantly, the cheapest price for this thing is only 50 yuan for three minutes, which is much more cost-effective than going to the hospital for a physical examination!
Although the girl didn't quite believe what the clerk said, she seemed to remember something and finally left the machine reluctantly. The person in the queue behind her immediately took over.
The man seemed to have the same idea as Zhang Boxuan: "Can this thing of yours really do physical examinations? You are kidding, right? It just so happens that I just finished my physical examination, so let me test you and see if you can find out what's wrong with me."
The clerk smiled helplessly: "This machine can only check cardiovascular problems, or whether you are pregnant or not, which is not suitable for playing our game. If you want to check, it is definitely more accurate to go to the hospital."
In fact, when he was in the company, he heard that there had been a breakthrough in technology that could scan the entire body's physiological condition. However, this kind of black technology is not easy to install directly on a game console, otherwise, he would really worry that others would feel that their privacy was violated.
Afterwards the guy tutted in disappointment, but since playing games was definitely more important right now, he didn’t say much.
We live in an Internet society today, and everyone has a mobile phone. The little incident just now was secretly filmed by several people and then uploaded to the Internet.
In the Vientiane Game Hall, although the lines are still terrifyingly long, the number of people who can play the games is limited. Although there are still many curious people, the popularity of the games online has gradually decreased a lot.
I didn’t expect that after this short video was posted, the discussion about this game hall became a hot topic again.
Most people are disdainful of this video.
After all, with the huge population in the country, only a few people can get a turn at a game console. What's more, there are only a few cities with Vientiane game halls. Even if there is no need to queue, most people still can't play.
Many people simply don’t believe the previous hype, thinking it is either false marketing or exaggeration.
Now there is a new trick in physical examination, which makes people feel that it is all fake!
This Wanxiang Game Hall is most likely just a scam to make money. Maybe the terrifying number of people lining up are all fake!
After all, internet celebrity stores all follow the same routine: spending money on publicity, hiring people to create hype, and preferably having long queues in front of the store. Then they defraud large sums of investment, and finally run away with the donations.
There were quite a lot of people doing this a few years ago, but unfortunately the economy has been in recession in the past two years, there is much less hot money, and everyone has calmed down. If you still dare to do this, just wait for the ridicule.
Some people even spread the knowledge about various fake scams in recent years online, which allowed people to learn a lot of little-known facts and provide some anti-fraud knowledge.
There was quite a stir online, but the girl who was photographed has not responded yet.
The general manager of Wanxiang Interactive looked at the gloating ridicule on the Internet and felt unhappy: "Hasn't that player confirmed that she is pregnant? How about I contact her and ask her to come out and explain?"
Xue Mi shook her head and rejected Yu Tong's proposal: "Even if she comes out to speak for us, won't others still say that she is an actress hired by the company? Besides, pregnant women are already fragile at this stage. It's a good thing. There's no need to cause unnecessary trouble for others."
Self-proving is like automatically falling into other people's logical traps, which is meaningless.
"The second generation of portable computers has just been developed. Why not take this opportunity to launch it on the market and let those people see our technology?"
Although the effect is much worse than that of the game cabin, as a head-mounted VR game console, Xue Mi feels that her company's products are still far superior to similar products of other large companies, and are not inferior to the products of the top few big companies.
The most important thing is that the cost can be reduced to a very low level. Each unit is priced at about 5,000 yuan, which is a medium price among head-mounted devices. And unlike other VR glasses that focus more on social and work scenarios, the products launched by Wanxiang only focus on games. They do not have so many fancy functions and are particularly simple, rough and direct.
Moreover, Wanxiang Interactive, as always, did not play by the rules. It did not hold a product launch conference, nor did it seek publicity from the media or big Vs in technology reviews. Instead, it was very plain and just released a reservation entrance for the head-mounted device on the previous queuing interface which had very simple functions.
It has been two days since the incident, but the negative searches related to Wanxiang Game Hall are still going on. To be honest, for Zhang Boxuan, who has become a fan of this game company, it is quite unpleasant to see this.
However, this person is not good at speaking, and he couldn't win the argument online. He was even labeled as a water army by others. He felt wronged and simply gave up.
It’s okay if you don’t believe it, but that just happens that you won’t be competing with me for the right to queue! He thought hatefully in his heart.
Thinking of this, Zhang Boxuan opened the queue page again and wanted to take a look at his current position.
Maybe because the queue takes too long, the setting of this interface is quite user-friendly. You can roughly choose your free time period to rank. If you are not free on that day, as long as your number has not been passed, you can also adjust your number to a later time.
Zhang Boxuan had more flexible time at work, so he simply chose a time period when there were fewer people queuing. As expected, the four machines were very efficient, and within two days, it was his turn again.
What's more, now there is more gaming time, with three levels to choose from: 3 minutes, 6 minutes and 9 minutes. Finally, you don't have to be forced to leave the game before you can even enjoy it, as was the case before.
For some reason, the page that used to run very fast suddenly became a bit stuck today. After watching the small wheel spin for another five or six seconds, Zhang Boxuan’s phone finally successfully jumped to the queue page.
He silently estimated how long he would have to wait, and then he realized that there seemed to be a line of small words suddenly added to the top of the page:
"Head-mounted home VR game console reservation portal"
Zhang Boxuan's brain froze for a moment before he suddenly came to his senses.
Vientiane finally figured it out! Ready to sell game consoles to the public!
He clicked on it impatiently and the first thing he looked at was the price.
5,000 yuan! It’s only the price of playing 100 times for three minutes, it’s worth it!
His girlfriend came over at this time: "What's wrong? I heard you screaming from a long distance away."
"The game console in Wanxiang Game Hall is finally released to the public. Why don't we buy one?" Zhang Boxuan asked his girlfriend.
His girlfriend's face flashed a hint of joy, but compared to this careless guy, his girlfriend was much more thoughtful: "This price is not right, are you selling VR glasses? Take a look at the details page first. I remember that people say that this kind of glasses is not very effective and it is easy to get dizzy when wearing them."
Especially when playing games, people naturally care more about the effects. Otherwise, it would be a pity to spend thousands of dollars to buy a piece of junk home.
Sure enough, it was stated in the description below that the performance of a portable device is only about 50% of that of a game console, but the games that come with it are the same as those on a game console, and if new games are released in the future, they can be updated online.
Because the effect is not as good as that of a game console, the game time limit is also much smaller. It is only stipulated that after a single user has used it for two consecutive hours, he will be forced to take a 4-hour break before entering the game again.
Zhang Boxuan's girlfriend, who was originally quite rational, changed her mind instantly when she saw that the games on this head-mounted device are compatible with game consoles.
"Buy, buy, buy! At this price, if it can really have 50% of the effect, it's definitely worth it. Besides, you've been wanting to buy a pair of head-mounted VR glasses for a long time, so this is just right!"
Zhang Boxuan looked at his girlfriend questioningly: "So, you just want to date another man in front of me, right?"
His girlfriend smiled and hit Zhang Boxuan hard: "What are you talking about? They are just paper figures. I played other dating games before, and you didn't have any objections."
"This is different, this feels too real." Zhang Boxuan complained, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation and placed an order for a pair of head-mounted glasses.
Less than a minute after he bought it, the page showed that the pre-sale was sold out.
"Fortunately, I was quick." Zhang Boxuan breathed a sigh of relief. The slight hesitation he had before had completely disappeared.
A total of 5,000 units were released for pre-sale in the first batch, and they were sold out in less than an hour, easily collecting 25 million in prepayments.
To be honest, even Xue Mi, who was used to being wealthy, was quite surprised by this result.
After all, in addition to the details page, an interface popped up repeatedly when ordering to emphasize that the effect of head-mounted glasses is far inferior to that of game consoles. However, perhaps because game consoles are too difficult to order, most people who saw this link still clicked to buy without hesitation.
There were even quite a few people who didn't get the tickets and went to Wanxiang Interactive's official website to make a fuss, demanding that they release a larger batch and that they stop being so stingy. If they were going to release more, they should release as many as possible at once!
Unfortunately, the official website responded as slowly as an old man in his seventies. It took a long time before an announcement was issued, saying that the company’s production was insufficient and it could only meet the first batch of production before opening reservations for the second batch.
Now, some people even went to other platforms, asking scalpers to transfer the items. The original price of 5,000 was instantly raised to 8,000 by these people.
Zhang Boxuan was a little surprised when he saw those posts on the Internet that were begging for transfer.
He had just paid the bill and made 3,000 yuan for free. This was simply the biggest investment he had ever made in his life.
Zhang Boxuan even regretted not taking his girlfriend's number and buying another one.
Wanxiang Interactive has strict control over pre-sales. Each number can only buy one machine. Otherwise, it may be snatched up even faster.
Because there was no publicity at all and even the launch was a surprise, most of those who were able to grab the VR glasses were enthusiasts of the Vientiane Game Hall, and they were lucky enough to see the link and successfully grab them.
Looking at the posts about those who regretted not getting the goods in time, Zhang Boxuan felt happy and couldn't help but take a screenshot of his successful purchase and post it online to show off.
Unexpectedly, within two minutes of posting it, a stranger sent him a private message, asking if he could transfer the quota and offering to double the price.
It hasn't even had time for a cup of tea and it's grown a lot taller!
If Zhang Boxuan wasn't financially well off and his girlfriend wasn't so determined, he might have really been tempted.
At this time, other netizens who had previously mocked the fake news finally heard the news that Wanxiang Interactive officially released head-mounted VR glasses.
“I knew it was to sell goods!”
"VR glasses have long been a commodity on the street, and the biggest manufacturers have also suffered long-term losses in this field. It's a joke that such a small company has entered the market and created such a big news."
"They're using the same thirsty marketing trick again, right? All 5,000 units sold out, but it's not even certain whether 50 units were sold. This is definitely a scam to defraud investors."
"They also deliberately created an atmosphere of scalping. This intention of cutting leeks is too obvious. Everyone must open their eyes and do not be deceived in any case!"
This time, Zhang Boxuan didn’t feel unhappy at all. Looking at the discussions on the Internet, he even couldn’t help but hum softly, and then he looked forward to the arrival of the helmet even more.
The related hot searches for Vientiane Game Hall have not yet subsided, and the final awards ceremony at the foreign film festival has finally arrived.
In the past few days, this small and unknown crew has experienced unprecedented attention.
Even the old director who had seen countless storms felt that this was probably the most ambitious moment in his life.
The reason is simple: "The Birds Are Coming Home" received extremely high praise, and because it was so popular, it was screened several more times. At this film festival where many big names gathered, it relied on the quality of the film itself to carve out a path that attracted everyone's attention.
Although there are many examples of such films that have received numerous praises but ultimately failed, both the old man and the other crew members have a relatively stable mentality about whether they can win the grand prize. On the contrary, the domestic media are very noisy and are betting on all kinds of hype. It seems that they have a mentality that if they find a hot spot, they must hype it to the extreme.
The old man reminded Miaomiao again that she must be careful about this kind of forced flattery. At such times, she must be more humble than usual. Otherwise, if she is not careful, these guys who just put her on the altar may try to dance on her grave the next second.
Miaomiao took a look at the exaggerated reports, nodded vigorously, and then, like a happy little star-chasing girl, she went around looking for autographs, speaking a foreign language that was not very fluent.
On the day of the award ceremony, the concentration of various big-name stars was even greater than that on the opening day - mainly because there were fewer internet celebrities and small stars who forced their way onto the red carpet. Those who could stay until this time were generally quite talented.
Unlike the first day when almost no one was paying attention, this time, as soon as the crew of "The Weary Birds Come Home" stepped onto the red carpet, even the sound of shutter clicks was much louder than before.
Unfortunately, Miaomiao was a very naive child. She still remembered clearly what the actress had told her on the first day, that these shots were not taken at her at all. So she didn't care about the loud sounds of cameras and flash lights, and just focused on chasing her idol.
As a result, many media outlets photographed her looking for autographs everywhere, and there were even domestic reports jokingly saying that for this young screenwriter who won the Newcomer Award, participating in the competition was just a side job, and the main purpose was actually to chase stars.
That’s right, not long after the award ceremony began, Miao Miao received her first big award: she successfully won the Best New Screenwriter Award, and successfully left her name for the first time in this film festival.
When she heard her own name, Miaomiao was a little slow to react. After all, the pronunciation of "miaomiao" sounded like a cat suddenly running onto the stage.
It was not until the old man patted her shoulder gently that Miaomiao came to her senses. She stood up suddenly and walked towards the podium unintentionally.
Seeing this nervous and immature look, many people present couldn't help but laugh in good faith, which made Miaomiao blush again.
As a result, when she went on stage, she almost forgot the acceptance speech she had prepared. She stuttered and circled it on the tip of her tongue. Finally, she had no choice but to give up the foreign language that she was not very good at, and gave a messy thank-you speech in Chinese. After she left the stage, she couldn't even remember what she had just said.
Miaomiao, who is introverted and particularly fond of internal struggle, wanted to curl up herself up after returning to her seat.
Shameful, she was so embarrassing just now!
But for those relatives and friends in my hometown who were crowded in front of the computer to watch the live broadcast, it was not embarrassing at all; it was simply a great thing!
The daughter of their family actually went abroad to win glory for the country. Didn’t you see that high-nosed foreigner gave Miaomiao a lot of praise? And so many people applauded the little girl!
One of my relatives couldn't help but say, "When I was little, I thought Miaomiao was extraordinary. Her eyes were bright and she could become something great!"
As a result, the old lady was directly thwarted by her own daughter: "Forget it, you said at that time that we are all stupid and that none of us can catch up with your achievements. How about it, now you are finally slapped in the face, right?"
The old lady was so angry that she slapped her daughter and said, "What are you talking about! Go and study hard, learn more from your sister Miaomiao, and then you can earn a trophy and bring it back to me to show off."
The others laughed again.
Some people even said to Miaomiao's parents with envy: "Your daughter is really amazing. Looking at her situation, maybe the leaders of our county and city will come to your house to express their condolences!"
Although I don't know much about film festivals, my fellow villagers have automatically equated this award with those gold medals in the Olympics.
Anyway, we are competing with foreigners and we are all getting medals, so there doesn’t seem to be any big difference.
All in all, it’s a good thing to bring honor to my hometown!
Domestic media outlets also had a rare hot topic and began to reprint news about a domestic new screenwriter winning an award at a film festival. The award ceremony hadn't even ended yet, but the news that a domestic newcomer had won the New Screenwriter Award at the XX Film Festival quickly became a hot topic.
"The Weary Bird Returns to the Nest" finally became popular for the first time and made it to the first top 20 hot searches.
Although not many people pay attention to art films, this film festival is still quite well-known in China. In addition, this is indeed a good thing. The popularity of this hot search quickly increased, and many people were curious about the movie. They said that they would definitely go to the cinema to support the movie when it is officially released.
The domestic Internet is already buzzing with excitement, and the time has finally come for the official announcement of the film festival's most important award, the Eagle Award.
The atmosphere in the venue finally reached the most tense moment.
The camera in the venue quickly cut between several shortlisted crews. Then, the award presenter made a small joke and kept the audience in suspense, which once again caused the audience to laugh helplessly.
Finally, she looked down at her cue card and finally said into the microphone: "Congratulations to this year's Eagle Award winner, "The Weary Bird Returns to the Nest"! Congratulations to you!"
Because the award speech was in a foreign language, the old man couldn't help but be dazed for a moment when he heard the long list of names. Then he came to his senses amid the cheers of the audience, stood up, turned around, and accepted the congratulations of the audience.
After all, the old man is a veteran, and he looks much more stable than Miaomiao. He was seen walking towards the podium with Miaomiao and another main creator, looking very calm and graceful.
Miaomiao, who was once again at a loss, couldn't help but look at the old man with envy. She really didn't know when she would be able to be so calm again.
However, her admiration only lasted until a few people stepped onto the podium.
Because the old man was so excited that he forgot the lyrics.
So, my performance just now didn’t seem that embarrassing?
Sure enough, when I saw others performing poorly, my own poor performance seemed to be instantly forgivable.
At this time, seeing Miaomiao standing on the podium again and winning the biggest award of the film festival, people in his hometown cheered again.
Although they still don't know what the Flying Eagle Award is and how much value it has, who cares? As long as they can get the big award sign, they should be happy!
Compared to the old family members who could only laugh foolishly, this news was like a bombshell to the movie lovers who had some understanding of the importance of this award.
This is the Eagle Award!
Although the domestic media hyped up this movie a few days ago, few people really believed that this movie could win a big prize.
Anyway, aren’t these participating films all hyped up like this over the years? They praise themselves to great heights when they participate, and if they don’t win, it simply means the judges are blind.
When the prize is drawn... Sorry, you guys just continue to be blind.
Many people also thought that the extensive media coverage this time was just another similar hype.
Unexpectedly, this movie actually won an award!
Not only did he win an award for best new screenwriter, he also won the festival’s biggest and most watched main competition award!
This instantly caused those people in the art circle who had been paying attention to foreign film festivals for many years to be completely shocked.
After all, China hasn’t won this award for many years.
Even for the old man, although he has won the highest award at another film festival, that film festival is far inferior to the current one in terms of value and influence.
Therefore, it can also be said that this old man, at the age of 70, has once again broken through his past achievements and won another big award.
For other creative staff, this was also a blessing from heaven. From now on, the first item in everyone’s profile could be updated.
He has served as the lead actor, creative director, photographer, and editor of the 57th XX Film Festival Eagle Award-winning film "The Weary Bird Returns to the Nest"...
Otherwise, why do they say that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit? Once this profile is added, the gap between them and other people in the entertainment industry will instantly widen. Even the remuneration is much easier to negotiate than before. Especially for those actors, all kinds of big names may contact them before they even return to China, and all kinds of opportunities that they never dared to think about before will now come.
From the moment she knew she had won the award, the middle-aged actress couldn't help but fall into a state of uncontrollable excitement.
When Miaomiao came down from the podium, she hugged the little girl and started spinning around.
Miaomiao struggled for a long time before finally pulling herself out of the fragrant embrace, trying to control the overly excited actress: "Sister Lu, I still have makeup on my face, please don't dirty your dress."
Thinking that such a dress is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and it would cost a lot to clean it if it got dirty, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Who cares about this now!" The actress laughed heartily, tears in her eyes, "We will be completely rich in the future, so why would we care about this money?"
She seemed to want to take a big gulp of the glass, but suddenly remembered that the wine in the glass had been replaced with juice at the award ceremony dinner, so she immediately put the glass down.
"I originally thought that this was the end of my life, but who would have thought that I would be able to turn things around." This beautiful female star, who has a well-maintained figure and skin, and is bright and attractive, said with emotion.
She was indeed proud of her face at one point, but when she entered this circle, she found that there were too many beauties in the entertainment industry. If she wanted to stand out, she either needed luck or a strong background. She had neither, so she could only waste time until now. After her most youthful blooming period, she could only play the roles of mothers and mothers-in-law. She also felt that the word "popularity" probably had nothing to do with her anymore.
Who would have thought that she could make a comeback with a low-budget art film?
Strictly speaking, "The Weary Bird Returns to the Nest" is an ensemble drama, but the role of the middle-aged actress can still be considered the heroine of the film.
With the Flying Eagle Award, although it is still unlikely for her to compete with those popular young actresses, she finally has a place in the entertainment industry.
This was a scene she had never dreamed of in many years!
For a moment, the middle-aged actress felt like she was dreaming.
Maybe when she wakes up from the dream, she is still the down-and-out actress who few people remember and who even has few people taking pictures of her along the way...
She was a little dazed, and then Miaomiao hugged her again: "Sister Lu, I could see it when we were on the set. With your talent and hard work, you will definitely be famous sooner or later, if not this drama, then the next one!"
Although she is a beauty with gorgeous features, she didn't mind appearing without makeup, pretending to be ugly and haggard during filming, and she brought to life a confused and depressed middle-aged woman. Even so, in the director's lens, she still looked charming and vivid.
At that time, Miaomiao was wondering, how come she had never heard of such a powerful sister before?
After hearing what Miaomiao said, Sister Lu couldn't help but laugh and gently tapped the child's head with her fingertips: "I really don't know whether innocence is your advantage or disadvantage, but I hope that in this messy big dye vat, you can always keep this innocence."
Among these actors, the one who gained the most from this award was probably the little girl Miaomiao.
Although the old man has received the most honors, he is old after all, and his energy and time are limited. Who knows how many more years he can still work.
If the old man continues to count, among the main creative staff, the one who contributed the most is definitely Miao Miao, the original author of the script and one of the main creative staff.
There are so many compliments that she can’t even think about them. The overwhelming temptations of fame and fortune will probably engulf this little girl in an instant after she returns home.
She has been in the circle for so many years and has seen many meteors who became famous at a young age but quickly fell.
I just hope that this little girl doesn’t become one of those people.
But today, there is no need to worry about things that haven't happened yet.
Let them celebrate to their heart's content, a victory they never dared to imagine before!
At the same time, on the hot search rankings of major domestic websites, related hot searches for "The Return of the Weary Birds" are rising rapidly, and the award-winning movies that the old man had filmed in the past have also been dug up again, with the number of views and comments doubling.
This director, who actually wasn't very popular outside of the domestic literary and art circles, suddenly seemed to have countless fans. Even those movies that were previously criticized for being incomprehensible seemed to suddenly have a charm that was worth careful consideration.
This is probably due to the human mentality of admiring the strong.
When you stand at a certain height and look up, you will see only flowers and sunshine in this world.
But the old man was a man who had experienced ups and downs after all. After being happy for a whole night and even having a drink as an exception, his emotions quickly calmed down again, and he reacted calmly to the sudden praise from the country.
In addition to enjoying the joy of winning the award, the most important thing he has to do now is to sell the film.
Although these international film festivals are packaged in various fancy ways and have countless big-name stars in attendance, in fact, the original purpose of most of them was to sell films.
At this event attended by many celebrities and countless filmmakers, negotiating a good price for one's film and selling it to as many markets and theaters as possible is definitely the highest pursuit of art film directors, apart from awards.
And now, "The Weary Bird Returns Home", which won the highest award, has finally ushered in its harvest season with the trophy.
