golden moonlight

The largest distributor of "Sabul's Sheep" is a distribution company closely related to the China-Europe Film Exchange Center, so it is almost no surprise that the film's premiere is scheduled to be held at a European film festival.The film was not originally intended to participate in the main competition unit of the film festival, but wanted to participate as a closing film.But You Kan inquired about the participating films in this year's main competition through his own channels, then changed his strategy, and submitted "Sabul's Sheep" to the competition almost at the last moment.

The location of the European Film Festival is not fixed every year, but unlike other large-scale world-wide events, the European Film Festival is usually not held in those big cities with strong commercial or political atmosphere in the traditional sense. Usually small towns.This year's European Film Festival was held in a beautiful seaside town in northern Germany. The arrival of the European Film Festival made this small town that usually exudes a leisurely holiday atmosphere suddenly lively.

As soon as Qu Haiyao arrived here, he was moved by the beautiful scenery and the leisurely pace of life, and whispered to Lin Qi that he would go on vacation with Rong Yi next time.Lin Qi was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. This good-for-nothing...Wen Xiang Ruanyu was in his arms, and he didn't want to make progress. He might as well count on a piece of char siew.

Qu Haiyao was very unconvinced: "I work hard when I work! No matter how I say it, I have to prepare for the capital to support my wife in the future, okay! Work hard when you work, and live well when you live. It's all the wisdom of our ancestors! Mother Lin, do you understand!"

"You know what to say!" Lin Qi was so angry that he opened his mouth to curse.Qu Haiyao looked back in panic at An Wuna who was eavesdropping and holding back her laughter, and then turned her head and scolded Lin Qi solemnly: "How can you swear casually in front of girls!"

Lin Qi didn't want to say a word to him anymore, so he poked an elbow on Qu Haiyao's side ribs, and then strode away by himself, throwing off the group of mindless things.Qu Haiyao cried out in pain while clutching his waist, took a step back and complained to An Wuna: "Nurse Lin must need sweet love to heal his desire and dissatisfaction, I'm really worried that he will be hungry and thirsty to premature aging !"

Anwuna burst out laughing.Lin Qi in front had already walked out, but when he heard Qu Haiyao's whisper, he stopped and turned around, staring at Qu Haiyao with a pair of eyes, emitting a death light from under the lens.

The crew of "Sabul's Sheep" did not participate in the opening ceremony of the European Film Festival, but focused on arranging several media activities: a media conference and three media interviews.In all fairness, the film "Sabul's Sheep" is not eye-catching among the entries in the main competition unit, and there are many other films in the same competition with masterpieces. Lin Qi does not quite understand where You Kan's confidence comes from.However, the several capital parties that settled in later tended to let the film participate in the main competition unit, and Lin Qi had no experience in professional awards at the level of the European Film Festival, so he couldn't make up his mind. Since Fan Chuzheng and You Kan both nodded , Lin Qi no longer insisted.

On the second night of the opening ceremony, Sabur's Sheep arranged a media dinner.This kind of social activity aims to build a good relationship with the media present. First, let the media show mercy in the next day’s media event and ask some positive questions about the film; second, let the media help when writing the press release. The movie has good things to say.

Every year at the European Film Festival, hundreds of domestic media, large and small, come to the competition, and dozens of them attend the dinner that day.The dinner started at 05:30 and lasted until nearly eleven o'clock. Except for Fan Chuzheng, who was not very good at talking, Lin Qi, Qu Haiyao, and An Wuna all showed a twelve-point host attitude.

Qu Haiyao naturally became the most watched star that night.Now he is not as restrained as he used to be when he attended the activities of other film companies. On his own occasion, Qu Haiyao showed quite calmness.No matter who chats with him, he can chat casually as if he is already familiar with the other party. During the period, he even met a reporter who Qu Haiyao had met before and liked to gossip. Qu Haiyao wasn't afraid at all when it came to Rong Yi's relationship.

"The two of us? That's the iron that only you can't think of." Qu Haiyao didn't worry about this question at all, and casually said something perfunctory.The reporter hit the snake with the stick, and asked with glowing eyes: "How strong can it be? You can tell me about it."

Qu Haiyao first calmly gave Lin Qi, who was looking over there distractedly, a comforting look, then hooked the reporter's shoulder in a serious manner, and said in a low voice mysteriously: "Then Let me break the news with you: after filming our movie, Rong Yi and I went out to play together."

"Just the two of you?"

"It's just the two of us, how comfortable it is." Qu Haiyao blinked at the reporter, "We have already agreed that as long as we both have time, we will go out to play together, and we can bring to another friend."

"It's really like a couple, you guys..." The reporter tried to guide him, but Qu Haiyao still had a laughing expression: "What are couples, we two are bosom friends - high mountains and flowing water, Boya Ziqi, tsk tsk, tsk tsk."

When he said this, the reporter was not sure which sentence he said was true and which was false, which sentence was an exaggeration and which was a metaphor.While thinking about how to ask the next question, Qu Haiyao let go of the reporter's shoulders, greeted him and walked away, leaving the reporter still thinking about whether this material could be written.

As a result, Qu Haiyao was scolded by Lin Qi when he turned around. "What nonsense are you talking to him! You don't know that he dares to write out anything!"

"What's the matter?" Qu Haiyao glanced at the reporter indifferently, "I dare say it, but I'm sure that even if he writes it, he won't be able to write anything. Everyone knows that Rong Yi and I have a good relationship." That’s right, no one will believe the unfamiliar setting now, so let’s just sit on it.”

Lin Qi gave him a cold look. "I'm afraid that one day you will be unrestrained and tell all the secrets of the bed, blah blah."

"Then what's the matter?" Qu Haiyao snorted, "Even if I say now that Rong Yi and I sleep on the same bed, there will be no troubles, do you believe it?"

"Remember not to say anything out of your mouth!" Lin Qi warned, "The current limelight in the circle is over, but today I don't know the direction of tomorrow's wind, so don't tell me if I'm not straight. Make heaven and earth."

"You really think I'm stupid," Qu Haiyao said with a "how is that possible" smile on his face, "I know it well, I can't say it yet..."

What's the meaning?Just as Lin Qi wondered for a moment, a friend from the media he knew came to talk to him, and this question was diverted like this, and Lin Qi didn't think about it again for a long time afterwards.

The dinner was a good start for the media activities of the next day.At the press conference the next day, the domestic media present did not ask any sensitive or irrelevant questions about the film. Originally, this film received little attention from foreign media, and most of the questions they asked were It revolves around the shooting background of the film, that is, the domestic ethnicity and anti-terrorism issues.

This question is actually quite tricky, but the crew is not unprepared.With the help of a translator, Fan Chuzheng finally answered rigorously and solemnly: "The original intention of shooting this movie is that I was moved by the shining points of some ordinary people. There are hundreds of millions of such ordinary people in our world. , they may not look very eye-catching, but they have been living an ordinary and serious life in their own lives, maintaining the balance in their own small world."

"And when this balance is broken by some external factors, they may burst out with unimaginable potential, making them become another shining self that is no longer ordinary. What I want to explore is, It is the struggle and rebirth brought about by this metamorphosis in every seemingly ordinary person."

Although these remarks sound conservative, they can guide the audience to obtain a more suitable entry point.This "appropriate" means that the creators hope that the audience will start watching the movie from such a point, so as to obtain a movie-watching experience closer to the creative direction.

But this is only an answer for ordinary audiences. Fan Chuzheng knows very well in his heart that when a truly professional filmmaker judges a movie, he will definitely wash away all the impressions imposed by the outside world and try to turn himself into a blank sheet of paper. Watch and judge with influence.

So it really came to this stall, and seeing the closing ceremony and award ceremony getting closer, Fan Chuzheng felt more and more uncertain.On the contrary, Qu Haiyao became the most peaceful one among the crowd. He should eat and sleep, and he didn't seem to be affected at all.Being ridiculed by Fan Chuzheng for being heartless, Qu Haiyao mumbled while gnawing on the lamb chops:

"What's the matter? It's the first time we're big girls on the sedan chair, and we're the ones with the lowest qualifications in this show among those who participated together. It's a blessing to be seen, and it's normal not to be seen. If there is one, there will be two. Let’s come again, it’s not like we’ll just make one decent film in our whole life.”

"Besides," he lost his bones and wiped his hands with a wet towel, "so what if we can never win an award... The real skill is when we are satisfied with what we shoot. If we are not satisfied with what we shoot, then What's the use of winning more awards. My family knows my own family affairs, shouldn't the creation satisfy myself first, and then talk about whether to satisfy others."

The words are full of interrogative sentences, but there is not a single questioning tone, and they are quite firm from beginning to end.Fan Chuzheng nodded at the side, obviously brainwashed by this fallacy, An Wuna's eyes twinkled with stars, wondering if the senior brother's relationship has become so masculine now?

Only Lin Qi still had a look of contempt on his face, squinting at Qu Haiyao with great disdain: "Hey, you don't want to be the King of Hearts and Arrows now? You don't want to ride on Rong Yi's head to shit? Don't you want to make money?" Is it enough for your revolutionary capital to slap your face swollen in front of others?"

Qu Haiyao was turned into a sieve by Lin Qi's series of heart-piercing small flying knives. He waved the fork and screamed: "You! We agreed that we will not use weapons of mass destruction casually! Please! Be human!"

Fan Chuzheng and An Wuna slapped the table gloatingly and laughed wildly. The scene was very joyful, and it was not based on Qu Haiyao's up and down wails at all.
