I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 22 Screening Room

"Qingshan, you really don't want to go to the opening ceremony."

On the street, Chen Yumo held Wan Qingshan's arm and asked sideways.

"Our movie is not an opening ceremony movie, so what's the point of going there? Yumo, do you want to go?"

Chen Yumo immediately shook his head. In order to hide their relationship from outsiders, she never had the chance to go shopping with Wan Qingshan.

In the past few days, Tian Tianhe had been shopping and playing in Wanqing Mountain. She didn't know how excited she was. Why go to the opening ceremony?

If he hadn't thought that Wan Qingshan didn't go to the opening ceremony just to accompany him, Chen Yumo wouldn't have talked about the opening ceremony.

"Since you don't want to go, then that's it. Come on, I asked Chen Chen to ask the hotel staff yesterday and found out that there is a Chinese restaurant nearby and the owner is Chinese and understands Chinese."

"Pfft!"

Chen Yumo couldn't help laughing when he thought about the scenes of eating out these days.

Wan Qingshan is a poor student in terms of language and has never passed the test in English. Chen Yumo knows some English, but he is also half-baked.

In the face of English with German pronunciation, Chen Yumo, who was half full of water, instantly became on the same level as Wan Qingshan.

Therefore, when eating out in the past two days, Wanqingshan always gestures with his hands when ordering food.

But Wanqingshan and the waiter, just like the author and the reader, have brain waves that are never on the same line.

The food that was served was not what Wan Qingshan wanted to express at all.

This Chinese restaurant is run by Chinese and is decorated to look like ancient Chinese architecture.

It's just cooked food, but not authentic Chinese food.

They are all Chinese food that have been modified to suit foreigners' tastes.

Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo, who were used to eating Chinese food, felt that the taste of this food was very strange and they were not used to it.

Came with hope, but left disappointed.

All afternoon, Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo were both a little depressed.

Neither of them was a bully, and their depression was not just a matter of the unappetizing meal at noon.

But, I don’t know what’s in the dish.For several hours, I still feel that strange taste of food in my mouth.

The strange taste in their mouths made the two of them not interested in playing. In the past few days, they had played until night before going back. Today, before it got dark, the two of them went back to the hotel.

After the two returned to the hotel, they immediately brushed their teeth.I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I’ve tried swiping it several times, but the strange smell still lingers.

When he was hesitating to buy something in Wanqing Mountain to suppress the strange smell, Yan Pingxue, who had been missing for the past few days, came to the door.

"Director Wan, "Selection" will be screened in Auditorium No. [-] in three days. You must be there."

In the past few days, Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo played outside every day and ignored "Selection".

This made Yan Pingxue worry that Wan Qingshan, who had already received the money, would start to fight back against what they had forced him to do before, so he didn't care about anything.

"Selection" premieres, as director Wan Qingshan would not be present.

The judges she invited would feel that Wan Qingshan did not respect her, let alone the Berlin Film Festival.If it pisses off the judges, "Selection" will never win.

Seeing Yan Pingxue's worried eyes, Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, I will definitely be there. After all, I still have half of the copyright proceeds from the sale."

Yan Pingxue could see the mockery in the smile on Wan Qingshan's face.

With China Film Group as her backing, no director had ever dared to treat her like this, which made her instantly angry.

Just thinking that "Selection" had not been sold yet, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile, "Director Wan, I will pick you up in three days."

As soon as Yan Pingxue left, Chen Yumo asked in confusion, "Qingshan, you said before that you and China Film Group were mutually beneficial, so why did you mock her just now?"

"How could I mock her?" Wan Qingshan looked confused.

"Didn't you see her expression just now? When she left, she was gritting her teeth!"

Wan Qingshan shook his head. Just now, he was distracted and thinking about what to buy for a while. Covering the strange smell in his mouth, he didn't pay attention to Yan Pingxue's expression at all.

When Chen Yumo saw Wan Qingshan's confused expression, it seemed that Wan Qingshan really didn't mean that.She said helplessly, "You, she must have thought that your smile just now meant to mock her." "No, I just smiled in a normal and polite manner, and she thought I was mocking her."

After Wan Qingshan said something excited, he thought about it and deliberately showed a sarcastic smile,

"This is a mocking smile."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan calmed his expression, "She may feel that we are dissatisfied with her because of what happened before.

She was thinking, so, my normal smile seems like a mockery to her.However, let her think what she wants. Anyway, in the future, I should be affiliated with China Film Group when making movies. "

"I definitely can't go. These people look too ugly and are too bastards." Chen Yumo said with a serious face.

Although Wan Qingshan explained that the deal with China Film was mutually beneficial, Chen Yumo was still angry.

"Okay, okay, I definitely can't go." Seeing Chen Yumo's expression, Wan Qingshan quickly responded and then changed the subject, "Let's go, Yumo, let's go down and buy something to cover up the smell."

The strange smell that never went away made Chen Yumo very troubled.When Wan Qingshan said this, she immediately put her previous anger behind her.

"I have to call Chen Chen, otherwise I'm afraid that if I buy the wrong thing, the smell will be even weirder."

Three days later, Yan Pingxue came to Wanqingshan early in the morning.After sending Wan Qingshan to the Nine Screening Hall, he left in a hurry.

Wan Qingshan saw the poster of "Selection", with gloomy weather, jagged buildings, and Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo looking at each other on the street.

Chen Yumo, who saw the "Selection" poster for the first time, was a little dissatisfied, "Qingshan, this poster makes people feel so boring. Who did you ask to make it?"

"Ahem, the content of the movie is boring, and the posters are made according to the content."

Wan Qingshan was a little embarrassed.

Originally, the poster was not like this. The original poster made by the advertising design company showed Chen Yumo and Wan Qingshan looking at each other sweetly on campus.

However, he felt dissatisfied after seeing it.The advertising company made this version according to his request.

Wan Qingshan was afraid that Chen Yumo would continue to ask questions, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Let's go."

"Selection" is not well-known, and the nine screening rooms it was assigned to were very small.

But even though it is small, the people who bought tickets to enter are not even half full.

Seeing that the show was about to start, Wan Qingshan, who was guarding the door, was about to greet Chen Yumo and Bo'er when they returned to the screening room.

From a distance, I saw Yan Pingxue leading a group of people and a bunch of reporters walking over.

After the group of people approached, Yan Pingxue introduced Wanqing Mountain to the fashionably dressed woman beside him in fluent English.
"Ms. Francis, this is the director of "Selection" and the male protagonist of "Selection" Wan Qingshan."

"Director Wan, your acting skills in the movie, oh, I am very amazed." Francis praised enthusiastically.

Wan Qingshan didn't understand English and didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing that Yan Pingxue was very polite to this person, and what she had done before, Wan Qingshan knew that this person must be a judge.

So, Wan Qingshan stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and shook the woman's extended hand.

Yan Pingxue saw that Wan Qingshan was a little confused, and immediately guessed that Wan Qingshan didn't understand English, and quickly translated,

"Director Wan, this is the president of the jury, Ms. Frances McDormand."

"Thank you Ms. Frances for coming to watch my movie."

Wan Qingshan didn't know how to deal with foreigners, so he could only say this dryly.

Fortunately, Yan Pingxue polished it a bit when translating.

Yan Pingxue saw that Wan Qingshan did not understand English and could not deal with Francis, so she dealt with Francis as Wan Qingshan's agent.

For Frances, it doesn't matter who communicates with her.

If it hadn't been for the agency in the United States asking her to come and watch "Selection", she wouldn't have come.

Later, Wan Qingshan, Chen Yumo, and Bo'er were pushed to the front by Yan Pingxue, and reporters took several photos.

Francis, Yan Pingxue and his entourage followed Wanqingshan into the ninth screening room.
