Netizens' memories only last for seven days, but this actually overestimates them.
Most people's memories last only one night.
Two days later, not many people remembered Zhou Yiyang’s speech on “Heroes Behind the Scenes”.
Only the bored people in Rabbit Zone would count that Zhou Yiyang was on 17 trending searches that day. If he made his debut, he would definitely become a top star.
People in the film industry don't care about this.
At least the people who came to the First Film Festival today didn't care.
They came here because of Zhou Yiyang's sincerity.
"Sister Liu, long time no see!"
The film festival was held in a manor in the suburbs of Beijing that looked like a work of art. The venue was provided by Ning Mang’s childhood friend and the title sponsor of “Sing Your Songs China”.
When I walked to the door, I felt like I was attending a high-class banquet. At least the level was much higher.
At this time, two actresses who had not appeared in public for a long time met at the door and started chatting.
"Neither are you. The last time I saw you was ten years ago, right?"
"Alas, these days, no one recognizes us anymore. Film festivals now only invite young people."
"Yeah, I didn't expect we would have the chance to come here again."
The media arrived here a day in advance in order to take first-hand photos of the guests on the scene.
However, after filming for more than an hour, not a single famous star was captured in the film. Instead, several veteran actors were captured whose roles became famous but who themselves were unknown.
"Hey, wake up, it's Moonlight Girl!"
The media were all excited, finally there was something to shoot.
Tang Yue was wearing the latest Saint Laurent design, a coat designed to resemble wings. If she wasn't tall and had a good figure, she wouldn't be able to hold up the dress.
Add purple lipstick and black eyeshadow, and she looks like this today.
Wang Xingrui next to her is still as cute as ever. Although there is no breakthrough, her fans just like it.
Su Yin and Lin Xuan'er followed closely behind. They were both wearing black and white "couple outfits" today. One had white hair and the other had blonde hair. They were of similar height and body shape. Walking together, they looked like a pair of beautiful twin sisters.
The four of them were already very familiar with the camera, waving confidently and leaving with ease.
However, a brave reporter stopped them and quickly asked, "In the past, the four of you have always had the same style. What's your intention for doing it this way today?"
At first they were worried that these people would ask about Zhou Yi Yang, but they forgot that the media are the best at reading the situation.
Of course they wouldn't ask random questions in Zhou Yiyang's territory.
Lin Xuan'er smiled and said, "Yes, there is a reason. You will know it later."
After Moonlight Girl entered the stage, more and more well-known actors entered the stage.
The media is going crazy. Although these people don’t have many fans, their popularity is much higher than their traffic.
Moreover, many people have been in seclusion in recent years, and I didn’t expect that Zhou Yiyang could still invite them out.
The last to enter were the protagonists of today's film festival, and also the group with the most say in the film industry: directors.
Zhang Yingyuan and a few friends walked in front. Their simultaneous appearance was something that was unlikely to happen even at the three major film festivals. Unexpectedly, it actually happened at the first film festival.
These media outlets filmed this scene and quickly posted it online.
On Moonlight, the opening ceremony of the first film festival is also being broadcast live.
However, compared with the stars who entered earlier, such as Yue Shao and Luo Chen, this scene obviously had much fewer barrages.
Everyone knows the director's name, but it's hard to match their face with the name.
However, many veteran movie fans were very excited and expressed that they were grateful to Zhou Yi Yang for this photo.
As the initiator, Zhou Yiyang also stood together with several big directors.
Today he was wearing formal attire, and he looked as well-behaved as a college student. He was completely different from the person he was in the live broadcast that day.
"I'm a good student in every way," Zhang Yingyuan said, introducing him to a few old friends. "But I hold grudges. I'm the same."
Several big directors burst into laughter: "We're all the same. Xiao Zhou, is the ending of your promotional video going to be shown later?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yiyang nodded.
"Your film is excellent," the man who praised him was Lu Mian, one of China's most sought-after commercial film directors. His specialty is suspense films. "Whether it's storyboarding or staging, I can tell you've studied it diligently. And I really like your filming techniques. You're very courageous and always try something new."
Zhang Yingyuan laughed: "Come on, Old Lu, no matter how much you praise him, he won't follow you."
Zhou Yiyang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. If these words were to get out, many people would probably not believe that a new director like him would be challenged by the top domestic directors today.
Following them is a group of young directors.
They are the protagonists today, and they have plunged into this industry with high spirits.
However, the film industry is much crueler than they imagined, with cliques and numerous barriers.
Often, a new director can make a good film but can't find a platform to prove it. If they don't qualify for the three major film awards, they end up having to go to foreign film festivals.
As a result, these outstanding talents were first discovered by foreign capital, and some of them may have gone there directly to develop.
This is obviously a bad phenomenon for the Chinese film industry.
This is the original intention of establishing the FIRST Film Festival, to provide a platform for young voices to be heard.
