Chapter 506

After half a day's leisure, Xiao Yao's focus once again returned to the short film festival.

Although Xiao Yao didn't meet the favor of any film dealers or film companies after three short film shows in three days, the number of audience in the screening hall during these three shows was more and more. Moreover, with Xiao Yao's extraordinary memory, he can easily find that some audiences appear repeatedly and make "two strokes" and "three strokes".

After four days of screening, the festival held its final award ceremony and closing ceremony on the fifth day.

It's natural to wear formal clothes to attend the award ceremony. Clement Ferrand's clothing industry is relatively developed. There are many clothing stores in the city. Many clothing stores will also launch the sales and leasing services of dresses during the film festival. Xiao Yao didn't bring formal clothes when he came to France this time, so he asked Fang to go to the clothing store and rent a dress for him. When the singer Xiao Yao helped to design and prepare for the performance, jewelry may be rented, and clothes are always bought directly. When it was his turn, he went to rent a dress to wear, which left Fang and Pei Minyi two assistants speechless for a while.

At the final award ceremony, the organizer of the film festival arranges vehicles to pick up all the participants, so there is no need to bother Clara Willa and Kira bea. After the vehicles arranged by the organizer of the film festival arrive, the three people dressed up in new clothes board the vehicles and come to the venue of the award ceremony.

Clement Ferrand International Short Film Festival is not a ceremony for stars to walk on the red carpet. When the three arrived, they went directly into the venue of the award ceremony.

After entering the venue, the three people sat down in the seats arranged for them according to the instructions of the staff. By the time they arrived, there were many people in the audience, most of them were participants of the festival, and there were few pure audiences. Xiao Yao glanced at the contestants and found that he didn't know most of them.

On the one hand, compared with the general Film Festival, La said that the pure Short Film Festival is basically an opportunity for new directors to expect to come out and attract the attention of the film circle. Those famous directors do not make short films, but when you have the ability and opportunity to make official long films, not many people will go back to make short films. Even if they do, most of them are not for self-interest I'm interested in experiment. I don't need to take part in the short film festival to seek attention. In terms of fame and stardom, whether actors or directors, a pure Short Film Festival can't be compared with a pure long film festival or a comprehensive film festival that contains both long films and short films.

On the other hand, Xiao Yao knows and pays more attention to Hollywood movie stars and directors in his past and present life, but he lacks interest and understanding in the artistic European film circle. Half of the film festival held in France is the work of local French directors, and most of the other half is European, so it's normal that Xiao Yao doesn't know anyone.

It's not entirely accurate to say that you don't know anyone, because it wasn't long before muying arrived. This is the only director Xiao Yao knew at the festival. It's probably the relationship between the Chinese, and the organizers of the festival have arranged their positions together.

"Are you confident of winning the prize?" After sitting down and saying hello to Xiao Yao, Mu Ying asks Xiao Yao with a smile.

"Our short films are all in the international competition unit, but we are competitors," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "Do you want to hear me say that you are confident or that I am not?"

"With the plan of Parkour film project, my goal of coming to the short film festival has actually been achieved." Muying said with a smile, "so I really hope you can win the prize. You are younger than me. If you win the prize, you will be more topical than me, which will be more beneficial to our future Parkour movies. Moreover, I personally think that your short film is more likely to win the prize than mine. My short film was just an action movie. You know, action movies don't have a natural advantage in winning awards. "

"The attitude is very good." Xiao Yao laughed, "I really envy your open mind."

"Looks like you care about awards?" Muying comforted Xiao Yao and said, "it's good to win the prize. Even if you don't get the prize, you don't have to care. You are so young now, and there are many opportunities in the future. "

"Now that I'm ready to make long films, I don't think I'll go back to making short films in the future, so this should be my only time to participate in the short film festival." Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile and said, "in fact, I'm not a literary youth, and I don't particularly care about this kind of artistic award. It's just... You know, the cast of my short film is very luxurious in China. These people come to play for me personally. Some of them have specially adjusted their schedule for this. If they don't get a prize back, I will feel a little sorry for them. "

"That's why you gave the first award ceremony you attended to this short film festival, which received the least attention in China and didn't even have the red carpet show?" Fang still smiles and inserts a way.

"What do you mean?" Mu Ying some don't understand of ask a way.

"Xiao Yao has been absent from three award ceremonies in China, one" Feitian "award and two" Golden Disc "awards, and he has won all the awards in those three award ceremonies." Fang still said."Flying sky award and Golden Disc Award?" Mu Ying was stunned, and then suddenly said, "I remember, the domestic media have reported that you were still a middle school student when you won the" flying "award and last year's" Golden Disc "award. This year, you are all college students, and your studies are not heavy. You are still absent from the "Golden Disc" award. Some media have said that you played a big card at a young age! But I think you have a lot of character. I like it

"This year is also because of something, but it's not really deliberately playing a big card." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'm very low-key and modest."

"Come on, it's possible to keep a low profile, not necessarily to be modest." Muying said, "you can direct the leader of Parkour team in Los Angeles with one phone call. You can definitely find the actors and funds needed to make long films with one name. It doesn't sound like modest at all."

"Er... It's self-confidence. I can't be modest." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

After chatting with each other for a short time, the award ceremony officially began. Two people also put away the idea of chatting, will focus on the host on the stage.

Compared with the film festival including long films, the award ceremony process of Short Film Festival is much simpler. There was no artistic performance interspersed, and there was not much nonsense when the awarding guests came to the stage. They soon presented awards one by one. And the acceptance speech of the winners who came to the stage was more concise than that of other award ceremonies Xiao Yao had seen, and there were few cases that were excited to tears.

When they came to the awards of the international competition unit, Xiao Yao and Mu Ying were serious and nervous. Although I don't care too much when I say it, who really can not care at all at this time?

The final result is that the biggest award in this competition unit and Xiao Yao's most concerned award, the jury award, has no chance with Xiao Yao. However, Xiao Yao is not without harvest, he won a most popular short film award. The winners of this award were chosen by the general audience who watched the short films in various screening halls during the film festival in recent days. That is to say, although Xiao Yao's short film did not get the favor of those professional film masters in the jury, it was liked by a lot of audiences.

"It seems that I'm really not suitable to be a literary youth. I'd better play commercial movies honestly." On the way to the stage to receive the prize, Xiao Yao laughed at himself.

Although Xiao Yao is more mature and steady today, his tender face can't be fake. After going on stage, the host, the awarding guests and many audience members expressed surprise at Xiao Yao's youth. Xiao Yao did not show any complacent expression. After receiving the trophy from the unknown awarding guest, he simply said his acceptance speech and returned to his seat calmly.

"Congratulations After returning to the seat, Mu Ying also immediately sent congratulations.

"Thank you Xiao Yao replied with a smile, and then looked down at the trophy in his hand, thinking that he didn't waste the hard work of his relatives and friends, which was a wonderful explanation to them.

At the end of the award ceremony, Xiao Yao only won such a "most popular Award", while Mu Ying was empty handed and didn't get anything. However, muying had been psychologically prepared and had no disappointment. On the contrary, she was very excited and asked Xiao Yao to invite her to celebrate.

After winning the prize, Xiao Yao was also happy, so he nodded with a smile and agreed. Thinking that Clara Willa and Kira bea have been in trouble these days, Fang asked them to come out to celebrate together.

"By the way, let them ask Andrew. If he's free, ask him to come." Xiao Yao also told Fang to keep on saying. Although we only went to a music festival together, we are acquaintances at least, and the celebration is naturally more lively with more people.

Clara Willa and Gera bea were very happy when they heard that Xiao Yao won the prize for her short film. They agreed to invite them to celebrate their success, and they also promised to call Andrew Belmont together.

Since it's a celebration, it's not without wine. France is not like the United States, where there is a rule that people can't enter bars and nightclubs until they are 21 years old. As long as they are adults, there is no problem, so several people choose places like bars and nightclubs. As for where to go, naturally, Clara and other three local people make up their minds. Although Xiao Yao had been to Clement Ferran, he was still under age at that time. Chen Xuan would not take him to bars and nightclubs. No matter how unreliable Chen Xuan is, he has his own bottom line.

After several people met, Xiao Yao first simply introduced Mu Ying to three local people, and then asked them to recommend a suitable place.

Although he went to drink and celebrate, Xiao Yao didn't think of any accident. After three local people gave three different choices, Xiao Yao did not hesitate to choose the art major, which is relatively quiet. When a few people went there, they found that it was a nightclub with relatively good environment, less noise and less exaggerated clothes.

After several rounds of drinking together, we all tacit understanding of the spearhead at Xiao Yao, one by one take turns to find him to fight. He won the prize today, is worthy of the leading role, do not pour him pour who?Xiao Yao soon found out everyone's intention. Qitula and Pei Minyi are still acting as shields. However, the two people who know his character well don't regard him as the boss at the moment. They not only don't help him, but also join the camp against Xiao Yao with others. Anyway, the environment here is very good and there is no safety problem. It's not far from the hotel. Muying and Andrew patted their chest long ago and said that in case Xiao Yao drinks too much, they would be responsible for sending him and the two girls back.

Another two rounds, just as Xiao Yao was a little dizzy, thinking about how to play, a life-saving call arrived.

Holding his cell phone and greeting you, Xiao Yao left his seat and went to a quiet place to answer the phone. When he came back, he said goodbye to some of you.

"Sorry, everyone," Xiao Yao put his mobile phone on the table and put on a serious face. "It was Michelin and BMW who came to me just now. They said they wanted me to help BMW shoot ads. I planned to go back to China tomorrow, so I asked them to talk in the hotel tonight. They've set out for my hotel now. We have to go back to the hotel. Clara, if you want to keep drinking, you can go on. The bill is mine

"Michelin and BMW executives want to advertise for you?" Mu Ying said strangely, "how did they choose you?"

"The film festival." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Michelin is one of BMW's tire suppliers. BMW people come to Clement Ferrand for business reasons. Michelin people entertain BMW people to watch the award ceremony of the film festival. It's just that BMW's new season's advertising has not yet come to fruition. I want to have a talk with my young winner of the most popular award to see if there is any possibility of cooperation. "

"Wow, there's business coming. It's still BMW, a world-famous brand. It seems that it still has to win the prize." Muying said with a smile, "it seems that we are less than you today. Clara, don't mention it. We don't have to delay him to talk about his work. We don't need to save money for the wine. Let's change the wine. Anyway, he said he would pay for it. "

"Hey, it's not sure if it's going to work or not!" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes, and then said, "also, you go with me."

"What am I doing? People are looking for you, the winner of the most popular audience award, not me. " Muying immediately said, "no!"

"This is a preliminary contact, and it's not a decision that I have to make." Xiao Yao said, "car ads are actually very suitable for your action movie style. Also, haven't you taken advertisements before? Go and help me. If you want to drink, please go to the bar of the hotel to drink enough. If you drink too much, open a room for you to stay

When it comes to BMW's ads, Xiao Yao immediately has an idea in his mind. However, he didn't plan to shoot by himself. He agreed to meet BMW's people not only to avoid everyone's drinking, but also to introduce this opportunity to Mu Ying. I don't know whether it's successful or not until I have talked about it, but at least I have to pull up the wood.

"That's... OK!" Mu Ying thought about it, nodded and agreed.

"Andrew, don't get too drunk. Remember to send two girls home." Xiao Yao told Andrew Belmont again.

"Well, fortunately you are Chinese, not local, otherwise I will not be your friend." Andrew Belmont waved.

"Well?" Xiao Yao is puzzled.

"With you by my side, I can't find a girlfriend." Andrew Belmont said with a smile, "talented and considerate, the girls must have been abducted by you, so you'd better go."

"It's called no harm without contrast." Clara Willa added with a smile.
