Chapter 659 Explosion!
The venue was still noisy.
But the number of people was gradually decreasing.
At the exit in the distance, everyone stepped on the stars and walked towards the door.
Holding bags of cakes and gifts in their hands.
Those were the simplest and most common cakes in China. If there was any difference, they were just a little more delicious.
Zheng Shaoshuai held the trophy in his hand. The "Autumn of Seventeen" team had already left before him.
But he was still sitting in the chair, looking at the figures in the distance in confusion.
He saw that Liu Zhenhua, the director of "Flying Sky", was surrounded by a large group of reporters as soon as he walked out. When he was interviewed by reporters, he waved the trophy excitedly.
He was a fifth-generation director who was as famous as Chen Kai and Gao Yuan, and had a respected status in the Chinese director circle.
"This is the first time that a Chinese mainstream film has won an international film award!"
In the noisy voice, Zheng Shaoshuai vaguely heard this sentence.
When I first heard about it, I thought it was ironic. Isn't it the Chinese who hold international film awards? What's the point of saying international...
But at this moment...
He saw the internationally renowned filmmaker Avery Zashi walking out of the venue surrounded by a group of filmmakers.
Chen Kai and Gao Yuan, the director of last year's hit film "Thunder", were following behind him...
Avery Zashi seemed very excited. He didn't have the attitude of an international filmmaker at all. He kept shaking hands with the directors one by one.
He also saw the director of "Avatar", McCaskey, chatting with the director of "Dreamland", Christopher Nore, while looking at Hanfu.
He also saw Wu Guanli slowly walking out from the backstage, and finally, looking back at the stage...
Russian director Mikhalkov took a bag of pastries with the "Miracle of Life" team, and at the signal of his assistant, he smiled brightly and tasted a bite in public.
A year ago, the unknown Hollywood prop master Scott became known to many people because of this award. He already has his own prop team and is leading his team, seemingly planning the next step.
…
Zheng Shaoshuai looked at the figures one by one.
Among them, there are internationally renowned movie stars, emerging Chinese actors, senior directors from the fifth generation, and new directors who are confused when participating in the award for the first time…
At this moment, these people stood up, stepped on the stars under their feet one by one, like a touch of color in the colorful world, and walked towards the crowd in the distance with laughter, joy, or excitement.
Zheng Shaoshuai lowered his head and looked at his trophy again.
The many critical, disdainful, sarcastic, and mocking emotions strangely turned into a complex at this moment.
He looked into the distance again.
For a moment, he suddenly felt as if he was in a movie hall that was about to be established.
…
The sky at the door in the distance was dotted with stars.
The surging crowd, wave after wave, seemed to have turned into a surging sea.
The award ceremony hall suddenly became quiet.
Zheng Shaoshuai watched Zhang Sheng walk out of the huge screen in the distance, and stopped when he passed by him.
"Director Zheng, are you leaving yet?"
"I'll be leaving soon."
"Oh, thank you for participating in the [3rd Southern California International Film Awards]. Your presence will add luster to this award!"
"..."
Zheng Shaoshuai stood up uncontrollably. After seeing Zhang Sheng's sincere and grateful eyes, his heart trembled uncontrollably, and then he shook hands with Zhang Sheng as soon as possible.
"Shall we go out together?"
"I'll wait a little longer..." Zheng Shaoshuai's face was no longer as cold as before, but he was a little embarrassed, and just shook his head.
"Okay!"
Zhang Sheng nodded, and did not force it, but continued to walk outside.
Zheng Shaoshuai looked at Zhang Sheng's back and lowered his head again.
Gradually, he seemed to be hidden in the darkness of the huge scene.
And in the distance.
The moment Zhang Sheng walked out of the darkness, countless flashes fell on him.
It was a bit dazzling for a while.
Then, the crazy media rushed in from all directions.
There were congratulations, praise, excitement, and even more scrambling.
The first thing everyone said was to ask him how he felt at the moment.
The security personnel tried very hard to stop the media, but the media could not be stopped, and the passage was packed with people.
He was wearing a cloak, swaying in the wind. Facing the huge crowd, he was not in a hurry, but his temperament became more and more noble, and he answered everyone's questions one by one with the most sincere look.
More than half an hour later, when he got on the car, the noise was less.
The car was a [CCTV] interview car, but it was a [Hongwei Fengxing] tram.
A reporter wearing glasses looked at Zhang Sheng excitedly.
"Mr. Zhang Sheng, can we do a brief interview with you?"
"Sure..."
…………………………………………
"Why did you want to do this award?"
"We were just dreaming, because we are just a bunch of small people, and we have never been on any award ceremony stage..."
"..."
"We are not valued, and no one knows us. Before this, many of us were frustrated and losers, including me, Bi and Ke Zhanchi. Just like what I said at the [Cannes International Film Festival] awards ceremony, when no one in the world paid attention to us, we did not give up on ourselves. We always felt that we could still save ourselves and that we still had a chance. So, we ridiculously built an awards stage for ourselves. We thought that it didn't matter if no one participated. We participated by ourselves. No one recognized us, but we recognized ourselves... No one watched our movies, so we paid for it out of our own pockets and played it for free..."
"..."
"Later, we met Avery Zaxi. Later, this award gradually attracted people's attention. After seeing more and more people, I began to think about whether our award had the opportunity to stand on the international stage and become a dust or a color on the international stage, but it is ultimately a window, a window for all Chinese filmmakers, no, it should be another window for global filmmakers..."
"..."
November 8.
Early morning.
When a ray of sunshine rises from the east and shines on the land of China.
The [Morning News] of various Chinese channels temporarily inserted an interview from Brazil.
Zhang Sheng's figure appeared on the news channel again.
When Zhang Sheng was interviewed, his eyes became more sincere, and then, as he spoke, his eyes became red, and then he wiped away his tears.
The reporter who was interviewing was also full of excitement, but when she heard Zhang Sheng recall the past with his voice, the words between the lines revealed the humbleness and optimism that once belonged to only small people.
She couldn't help being infected. Although she still had the most basic professional qualities and the voice of the interview was not affected, through the camera, everyone could see that she was holding back tears of excitement.
"The efforts of these young people finally saw the light of day one day!"
"Mr. Zhang said it so easily in the interview, but you can imagine how much effort they put into the award ceremony when they were not optimistic about it..."
"I was fortunate to participate in the first film award. At that time, it was really very low. No one was optimistic about this film award. Really, everyone thought it was a wild award. I also participated in the film award by chance when I was traveling. I complained about it at the beginning. It was garbage, but now..."
"We China finally have our own international film awards. It is a sense of pride. Really, I am really proud..."
"I can't imagine how much effort Mr. Zhang put into this award at that time, really!"
"..."
Zhou Haopeng of [Suzhou Yiguo] couldn't sleep all night at this moment.
He watched the news while watching the countless filmmakers on the Internet.
He didn't watch many movies, but after watching the video and the messages on the Internet, he couldn't help but feel a little more bitter in his nose.
It was a sense of empathy.
There was pride, excitement, some emotion, and some regret.
Unfortunately, he met Zhang Sheng too late and integrated into Zhang Sheng's system a little late.
This interview was not long.
After the interview, [Morning News] briefly introduced the film award again, and inevitably filmed some brand advertisements.
He saw the brand of [Hongwei New Energy] car in the news, and some commercial vehicles in this [Southern California International Film Awards] were mainly [Hongwei Fengxing].
He saw [Bosch Technology], [Jitu Live], [Mi Rabbit Takeaway] and other Zhang Sheng's own brands.
Of course, there are also domestic brands such as [Senchao Clothing], [Piaoyi Shampoo], [Mengxiang Instant Noodles], and [Hui Vitality 19].
He saw these brands that had been on board in the early years, and now appeared in [Morning News], and even in the evening [News Network].
Zhou Haopeng took a deep breath!
This is an excellent brand promotion!
If they [Suzhou Electric Appliances] had cooperated with Zhang Sheng earlier and won the [Southern California International Film Awards] advertising space, then...
Just when he was regretting, the phone rang.
The call was from Zhang Yuanqiao, the boss of [Suzhou Electric Appliances].
Zhang Yuanqiao was very excited and excited. He seemed to have drunk some wine. His voice was a little unclear on the phone, as if he knew something inside. At this moment, it seemed that Zhou Haopeng and Zhang Sheng had been hanging out more recently, and he had to go to Zhang Sheng to talk more...
Today, [Suzhou Yiguo] is very successful online. Although it is not as good as [Qiangsheng Online Mall] or [Taozhu.com], the traffic of [Hangmei Mall] in [Hangmei Electric Appliances] is almost twice that of the other party!
The successful online transformation made Zhang Yuanqiao taste the sweetness and became more and more excited.
After talking to Zhang Yuanqiao, Zhou Haopeng was just about to find a reason to talk to Zhang Sheng again when his phone rang again.
When he saw the number, he was stunned!
It was Zhang Sheng's phone.
He answered the phone immediately.
Then...
"Mr. Zhou!"
"Mr. Zhang, congratulations!"
"Haha, nothing to congratulate, I'm going back to China soon, I want to talk to you about something in advance..."
"What is it?"
"On November 11, we [Qiangsheng Online Mall] want to hold the entire Double 11 event and want you [Suzhou Electric Appliances] to spend some money. Do you have any..."
"Pay, pay, pay as much as you want!" Before Zhang Sheng finished speaking, Zhou Haopeng interrupted immediately.
"This time it will be a little more ruthless than the Double 10 event. Of course, we also have a certain subsidy... It doesn't matter if you don't participate. For the next Spring Festival Gala, we are preparing a bigger wave..."
"Participate, participate, we will all participate!"
"Please discuss it with Mr. Zhang Yuanqiao..."
"No need to discuss, I can make the decision, we will participate!"
"..."
