LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 48
The old man was startled, his eyes full of disbelief, and he quickly turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
He saw two disciples sitting in the audience, talking excitedly to each other.
"You said Titanic was shortlisted for Cannes?"
The two disciples immediately put on a serious look and said respectfully,"Yes, teacher. The Cannes Film Festival has just announced the shortlist."
The old man nodded and his eyes slowly fell back to the email on the tablet.
After three years, a domestic film was shortlisted for Cannes again.
Maybe this young man is really good?
Whether to refuse or not, let's take a look at the script.
The old man clicked on the"Trial Script (Teacher)" in the email attachment and read it at a glance.
Background: 1924, Beiping, Beiyang Government Era
……
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he stared at the two lines, muttering:
"If you want to be respected in front of others, you must suffer behind others. Today is the opening, the article is still behind!"
The old man couldn't help but shudder.
Was this line written by that young man?
Let's not talk about the principle of dealing with things.
Just looking at the cultural heritage, there is only one word - absolutely! The eight-part essay in the Qing Dynasty pays attention to the opening.
After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the literati who were used to writing eight-part essays still retained the tone of eight-part essays when speaking.
It fits the image of the teacher very well!
In front of him, the person in the text seemed to come alive.
Such a historical role is extremely rare!
The old man suddenly became excited.
Go to the audition.
He wants to play this role!
He immediately replied to the email and agreed to the audition.
After sending the email, he opened the script again and savored every word carefully.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that a small role was portrayed so delicately.
Even the top old screenwriters would find it difficult to achieve this level.
This young man is a genius!
……
Outside the theater.
Half an hour ago. In the editorial department of a news app.
Ten editors set the news releases they had written overtime in the previous two days to be released in 10 minutes.
The editor-in-chief asked them to write these articles in advance.
The main content is that the director of"Titanic" is a newcomer, and the box office success made him arrogant. And analyze the shortcomings of this film compared with previous nominated films.
Waiting for 10 minutes, Cannes announced the list. When"Titanic" was not selected, the article was automatically sent out to catch the first wave of traffic.
Time passed by, and soon 15 minutes passed.
An editor sitting by the window was slacking off and browsing the website out of boredom.
Suddenly his eyes widened and stared at the screen.
Two seconds later, he stood up abruptly and shouted:"Delete the manuscript quickly! Quick!"
The leader happened to pass by and glanced at him speechlessly,"What are you doing? If you continue like this, pack up and get out!"
"Enter, enter, enter"
"Tasty? Are you crazy from slacking off?"
"Titanic is on the list."
The office fell silent instantly.
Everyone stared at him blankly, their minds blank.
Two seconds later, the editors quickly lowered their heads and frantically deleted the manuscript.
The keyboard and mouse made a clicking sound.
Mo Yu Ge also quickly opened the backstage and deleted the article.
But in just five minutes, the article had been viewed more than 10,000 times and forwarded more than 5,000 times.
A bunch of comments below
"Not shortlisted? Are you from a parallel world?"
"Which planet are you from?"
"Their editorial department has several such articles, which makes me laugh to death"
"Screenshot! Make a video hahaha."
In the corridor, the editor-in-chief looked at the comments on the editing screen, his face turned pale, and he said,"Delete it quickly!" He went back to the office in shame.
……
Online, celebration posts were everywhere.
Regardless of whether or not they could win the prize, being able to enter the main competition unit represented their strength!
Fans were in a frenzy, spontaneously making posters and cheering slogans while frantically forwarding celebration posts.
"Wins is going to the Cannes red carpet and I'm crying, oh my god!"
"My Leo is on the international stage. I am in tears. Director Chen, I love you! Thank you Director Chen!"
"The storm cried, I really cried"
"The Cannes red carpet, and it's the red carpet of the main competition unit. As an Oreo, I feel like I'm at the peak of my life."
"Why call him Director Chen? He is a god! Xiao Shen!"
"Chen Xiao is really good at this."
"Is that two brushes? It's clearly a truckload of brushes."
"It’s really awesome."
At the same time, hundreds of reporters were leaving the company and heading straight to Jiahao Films and Jiahao Diamond.
Half an hour later,
Jiahe Diamond issued an announcement on its official website and official WeChat account.
"To celebrate our company's commercial"Titanic" being shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival, all diamonds are discounted by 12% for a limited time! Our company will provide full sponsorship for the crew to attend the film festival!"
Jiahao Film and Television, Film and Television City, and Post-production Base also issued articles to express their congratulations.
At the same time, Jiahe Diamond and Jiahao Film and Television, as the producers, were once again blocked by reporters.
Wang Zhan walked downstairs and said happily to hundreds of cameras:"Dear journalist friends, don't worry, we will hold a celebration party in a few days, and we will definitely invite you then." As soon as he finished speaking, countless questions rushed towards him.
"Mr. Wang, why are you so confident in signing up for the main competition unit?"
"When does Wins plan to leave for Country F?"
"Why didn't you sign up for a special category but decided to sign up for the main competition category?"……
Wang Zhan smiled awkwardly.
He was confident enough to apply?
It was Chen Xiao who insisted on applying...
He had always thought that the brat would fail because of this, but who knew that he would actually be shortlisted.
He looked at the reporter who asked the question.
"In fact, it was the director who insisted on signing up for the main competition unit. We will hold a celebration party later, and everyone can interview the director.
The reporters were not willing to let him go, and immediately asked:
"Do you know where Director Chen is?"
"Is Director Chen still working at Jiahe?"……
Wang Zhan shook his head and replied with a smile:"I really don't know, everyone please go back."
……
On the other hand, Jiahe Diamond also faced similar problems.
But no one knew where Chen Xiao was.
The reporters had no choice but to continue squatting in front of the two companies, trying to meet Chen Xiao.
Time soon came to the afternoon.
Near the Ministry of Culture.
Two reporters had just finished an interview and were walking to a nearby coffee shop.
When passing a traffic light.
A reporter in blue clothes suddenly stopped and stared at a car waiting for the green light.
""Look, is that Chen Xiao?"
Another reporter looked in the direction he pointed.
In a black Maybach, a young man took off his mask and was drinking water.
"Yes! Definitely!"
"License plate number, write it down."
Just then, the red light turned green.
The two saw Chen Xiao in the car put on a mask and drove away slowly.
"Let's go. If he stops soon, we can interview him.
The two of them quickly trotted and followed his car.
""Slow down! Posted!"
The reporter in blue was delighted!
Now that he was interviewing Chen Xiao, he could get the front page headlines.
The Maybach turned, slowed down and stopped.
Chen Xiao took out a certificate, and the gate next to the gate booth rose.
"New unit? Let’s go!" The reporter in blue clothes excitedly wanted to cross the road and rush over.
"Wait!"
Another reporter grabbed his arm and stared at the front with a serious face,"Where do you see that?"
The reporter in blue was stunned, and then he focused on the building.
Wenwenwen, the Ministry of Culture?!
