Chapter 339 His Dream?
"Cannes International Film Festival is sacred to me. I never dreamed that one day, I would stand on this stage..."
"When I first stepped onto the stage, my mind was in a trance, and many messy thoughts flashed through my mind, but when I was in front of the microphone, my mind was blank..."
"Please forgive me, I am a shy person. The more people there are, the more likely I am to make mistakes, and I can't even tell the difference between the main and the secondary..."
"If my disordered words and deeds bring unhappiness to the organizers or the judges present, I would like to say sorry first..."
"..."
On the stage.
The lights are flashing.
Under the stage.
Bi Feiyu looked at Zhang Sheng, who had a simple face but was flushed, and spoke with restraint and nervousness.
He shook his head violently.
He thought he had seen it wrong, or heard it wrong.
Then, he stared at the stage again.
He found that he was not wrong. Zhang Sheng, who was standing in front of the microphone, was still very nervous when he spoke, and some English words were misspelled.
He was shocked and looked at Zhang Sheng as if he was a stranger.
Mr. Zhang must be pretending, right?
His English is so good, he can speak with an American accent when he wants, and with a British accent when he wants. How could he misspell even the simplest pinyin?
However, when he saw Zhang Sheng's uneasy expression and his increasingly red face on the stage, Bi Feiyu felt that Zhang Sheng was not pretending.
He saw Zhang Sheng take a deep breath, and something seemed to be choking in his throat. He tried very hard to adjust his mood. After a moment, he came to the microphone again.
"Mr. Bi Feiyu and I are both dreamers. Mr. Bi Feiyu dreams of making a movie that can be recognized internationally..."
"But, at the beginning, his "The Dog Over the Mountain" was a box office flop, and no one in our China was interested..."
"During those difficult days, we were like an ant, constantly busy, constantly hoping that our movie could be seen by more people!"
"However, even if a small director made a very good movie, no one would still watch it. We did a lot of things in vain."
"In the most difficult time, when we were all about to give up, we entertained ourselves with a [Southern California International Film Awards]. We comforted ourselves that since no one appreciated us, we would appreciate ourselves..."
"Mr. Bi Feiyu said that it would be fine to just make a certificate, but I think even if we were to give ourselves an award, it should be more formal!"
"Then, like a fool, we built a stage on the beach in Brazil with the cheapest materials, and used the most primitive, noisy sound system to play the sound effects on the stage. We even gave ourselves We made a certificate and trophy for the best director..."
"I still remember that night, we were on the beach, chatting about the [Cannes International Film Festival]... In fact, everything about our [Southern California International Film Awards] was built to imitate our Cannes. We longed for the stage, we entertained ourselves, we imagined giving speeches on stage, and even Director Bi gave speeches on stage while I was in the audience below. Sometimes Director Bi was in the audience below while I gave my acceptance speech on stage... We wrote a lot of winning manuscripts, describing the sadness and difficulties we had along the way, and even we cried because of what we said ourselves!"
"We are just fools, the cutest fools!"
"We also screened our film "The Dog Over the Mountain" and some films from our Chinese friends..."
"We felt very happy... We imagined that one day, if we could go to the [Cannes International Film Festival], what should we say? We were even learning how to walk..."
"Then, I never dreamed that we would meet Mr. Avery Zashi..."
Damn it!
Mr. Zhang is holding back a big move!
Obviously...
Zhang Sheng's stories are all made up by a bunch of people, but the most simple, honest expression, and the hoarse voice actually outline a picture of a person who is extremely eager for his dream.
Bi Feiyu is the person involved!
It can even be said that he is the person who was "cheated"!
However, the sense of picture described by Zhang Sheng is getting stronger and stronger, so strong that he has goose bumps and is immersed in an atmosphere of "chasing dreams". For a time, he couldn't tell whether Zhang Sheng was telling a story or experiencing it personally!
Then, as Bi Feiyu listened, his eyes became wet for no reason, and tears flowed down, and he couldn't wipe them dry no matter how he wiped them.
Damn it!
Although the story became more and more outrageous, telling how hard Bi Feiyu worked, how he persisted, and how he did this and that for his dream...
But the more he talked, the more moved he was. Bi Feiyu even felt that if he listened any more, his eyes would be blinded by tears!
Damn it!
Why did Mr. Zhang do this!
Why do you do these sensational things!
The originally noisy venue gradually quieted down, and several emotional overseas female directors wiped their tears while listening to the story.
Avery Zaxi next to him was completely numb.
After a brief moment of being moved, reason told him that Zhang Sheng had started his "speech" again.
After watching "7 Days to Die", Avery Zashi felt that some of the metaphors and hints in "7 Days to Die" were the use of "psychological hints" to the extreme, and then broke through the weaknesses of human nature and finally produced fear.
For this reason, he specifically consulted some "psychology" experts. Psychology experts analyzed Zhang Sheng's film and found that the producer or director of this film was definitely a "psychology expert"!
However...
Zhang Sheng is really amazing. Even Avery Zashi, who was psychologically on guard, was still moved by his half-true and half-false story!
He shook his head!
He looked at the time...
Zhang Sheng had already said that the time was over. He turned his head and looked at the host, signaling with his eyes. The host quickly took over the conversation and couldn't let Zhang Sheng continue!
But the host, especially the tall French girl with big eyes, seemed to be controlled by something and just kept looking at Zhang Sheng.
When she saw Avery Zashi's eyes, she reacted...
However, she didn't interrupt Zhang Sheng, but continued to listen.
It's like listening to a story of ups and downs!
Deep in everyone's heart, there is a desire for "reversal".
Small people desire transformation, counterattack, and more things, more resources for survival and better life!
And big people also desire transformation, desire to move up a level, and even desire to leave their names in this world and in human history.
This is the weakness of human nature!
Everyone has a weakness!
"I am honored!"
"Mr. Bi Feiyu is also honored. We finally stood on the stage of the [Cannes International Film Festival] and won this trophy..."
"Here, I want to thank Mr. Avery Zaxi again. It's you who made our dream reach its peak..."
"Here, I also want to strongly thank the organizers of the [Cannes International Film Festival] and the judges. It's you who made the impossible possible..."
"..."
Simple!
Sincerity.
It seems to be a sure-fire move forever!
After Zhang Sheng bowed to the audience, the host next to him wiped his tears slightly, then smiled and walked to the front of the stage.
Offstage, applause broke out again!
Before leaving the stage, Zhang Sheng hugged Avery Zaxi tightly.
Avery Zaxi was hugged so hard that he couldn't breathe.
…………………………
Avery Zaxi watched Zhang Sheng walk off the stage.
Offstage, many people stood up and shook hands with Zhang Sheng.
Zhang Sheng's expression was very humble, and there was no pride or complacency on his face after winning the award.
This invisibly made people feel good.
Some directors also gave Zhang Sheng a business card, and Zhang Sheng took the business card with both hands. He showed special respect for the older filmmakers.
Then...
He returned to his seat.
Bi Feiyu coughed lightly.
He was a little moved by Zhang Sheng's words just now.
But looking back carefully, he vaguely felt that something was a little wrong!
This speech...
Zhang Sheng seemed to have mentioned the [Southern California International Film Awards] many times. After calming down, you suddenly realized that your impression of the [Southern California International Film Awards] was deeper than that of the [Cannes International Film Festival]. Until now, Bi Feiyu's mind is full of the "simple stage" and "cheap sound effects" described in Zhang Sheng's story, as well as the people who "learned to give acceptance speeches on the stage"...
But it happened!
Thinking back carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong?
Although he seems to be advertising for his [Southern California International Film Awards].
But the core is to use the simplicity and simplicity of the [Southern California International Film Awards] to set off the glory, professionalism, holy land, and yearning of the [Cannes International Film Festival]...
Moreover, the "innocent heart" that is sincere to the bones, anyone who hears it will feel touched...
Who can say that he is advertising?
"Mr. Zhang..."
"Shh!"
"Cry..."
"Ah?"
"Cry, keep crying, the camera is already on you..."
"Uh..."
Bi Feiyu was stunned.
He saw Zhang Sheng's face flushed with joy.
Then...
He saw the camera in front of him coming at him!
Cry?
Why is he crying now!
The atmosphere created by Mr. Zhang is over, why is he crying!
Just when he was a little confused, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his waist, which made him cry.
After a brief loss of composure...
He turned his head to look at Zhang Sheng, but saw that his own Mr. Zhang was still immersed in joy and emotion...
"Look, isn't this crying out of excitement?"
If it weren't for Zhang Sheng's gentle words!
He even felt that it wasn't Mr. Zhang who pinched him, but that he was stuck somewhere!
