Wen Ying spent the whole day watching movies with Lin Wenxuan. She was very happy before the movie, but the last one made her feel anxious and worried.
Xie Qian advised her to be more open-minded. Wen Ying cheered herself up and comforted herself: "What else can I do if I don't want to be open-minded? I'm still young anyway."
After returning to the hotel, Yuan Fenghui asked Wen Ying about her day's experience. Wen Ying detailed what movies she had seen and who she had met. After thinking about it, she decided to tell her Lin Wenxuan's final words of encouragement.
Yuan Fenghui's expression changed.
Yuan Fenghui had previously focused on developing idol groups in Taiwan, and after moving to mainland China to build Tianjiao's business, she was still new to the film industry. She hadn't yet tapped into international film festivals like Cannes—if she hadn't, she wouldn't have resorted to relying on Lin Wenxuan and overseas publishers to promote the awards. She would have rolled up her sleeves and taken matters into her own hands!
Using someone else's force to counter attack them is a clever move, but it also has its drawbacks, which is that Yuan Fenghui does not have the latest information.
Maybe Lin Wenxuan had heard some news, but Yuan Fenghui didn't, so Lin Wenxuan specifically said those words to Wen Ying.
"You did a great job. I'm your agent. You should tell me anything immediately, especially in situations like this, so I can handle it right away!"
After saying this, Yuan Fenghui hurriedly left the hotel.
The night of Cannes has arrived, and the award ceremony is tomorrow. Yuan Fenghui still wants to make one last effort before the award ceremony!
"Teacher Yuan works very hard."
Xie Qian told Wen Ying not to stop him. "No matter what the result is, if you don't let her do her best, she will blame herself for not doing her job well."
Wen Ying nodded gently: "I know, so after careful consideration, I decided to tell Teacher Yuan what Director Lin said."
Xie Qian skipped the topic of awards and reminisced with Wen Ying about their day's film experience. Different directors approached the same subject matter in different ways, influenced by the director's regional culture, as well as their own personal experiences and understanding. During the daytime screening, Lin Wenxuan and Wen Ying had a lively chat.
Xie Qian helped Wen Ying review the conversation in order to extract useful information from their conversation.
A good memory is not as good as a good pen. Xie Qian suggested that Wen Ying write down her feelings about watching the movie during the day.
"Your trip to Cannes shouldn't be wasted. Whether you win an award or not is not up to you, but you can still write a few Cannes stories and film reviews!"
This is a good suggestion.
Apart from anything else, Wen Ying’s blog needs content to fill it.
Updating a few landscape photos taken on the Cannes beach, accompanied by a few hundred words of first impressions of Cannes, are the best response to readers who are concerned about Wen Ying’s trip to Cannes.
“I’ll write it now!”
I can write a movie review first and then slowly organize it. The content of tonight’s blog needs to be updated first.
Wen Ying started working with a laptop in her arms, while Xie Qian closed the door and walked into the corridor.
He called Jiang Youjia first.
Jiang Youjia was completely bewildered: "...Jiaxin's business doesn't involve international film festivals!"
"So you have no say in Cannes?"
Xie Qian clearly wasn't questioning him, but Jiang Youjia felt like he had betrayed Xie Qian's trust. "If there's a need for this, I'll work towards this direction in the future—"
"No."
Xie Qian thought about it and helped Jiang Youjia plan a new direction: "There are too many film festivals, and it's unrealistic to plan a strategy for each one. You should pay attention to the theater chains."
Pay attention to the cinema chain. Is Xie Qian planning to buy a cinema chain?!
Jiang Youjia murmured, "Theaters are very expensive..."
"I don't have to buy it right away. Let's take it step by step."
Jiang Youjia didn't know what happened at the Cannes Film Festival, and why his cousin and boss Xie Qian suddenly had such an idea.
But the boss is the one who makes the final decision. Jiang Youjia doesn't need to delve into the reasons. He just needs to follow Xie Qian's instructions. When Xie Qian finds out that the cinema chain is very expensive, he will naturally give up this unrealistic plan.
There is another possibility. If Xie Qian really does what he said and raises funds to buy a cinema chain, that would be a good thing for Jiang Youjia too!
If "Jiaxin" had its own cinema chain, Jiang Youjia would say: If the company doesn't make ten movies a year, it would be a waste of its advantageous resources!
After hanging up the phone with Jiang Youjia, Xie Qian contacted Lin Wenxuan again.
'Jiaxin' has no connections in Cannes, but Lin Wenxuan definitely does.
It's just a "Best Screenwriter" award, which won't affect other people's core interests. Lin Wenxuan didn't make a final statement today. Maybe if the public relations efforts are increased a little bit, there will still be room for maneuver before the award ceremony?
Xie Qian wanted to tell Lin Wenxuan that he was willing to bear the extra public relations expenses!
“Beep, beep, beep…”
Lin Wenxuan's call went through, but no one answered.
Xie Qian couldn't help but frown.
When he couldn't get through on the phone, he went to knock on Lin Wenxuan's door.
Lin Wenxuan's assistant was in the room, but Lin Wenxuan was not there.
"Director Lin went out and said he was going to meet two old friends. He didn't say when he would be back."
The assistant asked Xie Qian what was the urgent matter, and Xie Qian shook his head: "If it is convenient for Director Lin when he comes back, please call me back."
It was not until noon the next day that Xie Qian received a call back from Lin Wenxuan.
It turned out that Lin Wenxuan went out for a social event last night and got drunk with friends. He was sent back to the hotel by his friends in the middle of the night and slept until noon. It was his assistant who woke Lin Wenxuan up.
"Xiao Xie, I heard you have something to ask me?"
On the phone, Lin Wenxuan's voice was still a little drunk and his words were unclear.
"By now, the list of winners for this year's Cannes main competition has been released, right?"
"It was confirmed last night. All the award-winning results have been submitted and sealed by the jury, waiting to be announced at the awards ceremony tonight..."
It’s true!
