Chapter 23 Registration for the Film Festival

In mid-July, Tang An came to China Film Group again with the finished film, leaving a backup copy.

Then I found a cheap house on the 5th Ring Road, and the landlord agreed to pay one by one, and the rent can be settled every month.

The room was equipped with a bed and a table, as well as a gas tank and a gas stove. Tang An had some toiletries in his backpack, so he went to a nearby vegetable market to buy a la carte and made himself a "rich" lunch.

Tomato and egg soup, fried pork with green peppers, homemade tofu, and fried saury.

Fortunately, the dishes at this time are still very cheap. This nutritious lunch including meat, eggs, vegetables, soy products, and fish only cost less than 10 yuan.

Tang An, who had eaten fast food for more than half a month, wiped out 5 big-name meals in 3 minutes. If he didn't have to save a la carte for dinner, he would have licked the plates clean.

There is also a little green pepper fried meat and tofu left, and a basin of well water is put in the plate to prevent it from going bad.

The movie will be released at the end of September, and there are still two months left before Tang An can go abroad to participate in a film festival "Gold Plating".

I recalled the 15 international A-category film festivals. In August and September, only the Venice International Film Festival in Italy, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic, the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, and the Montreal International Film Festival in Canada were left. Film Festival and the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland.

The first one is ruled out first. Although the top three are well-known, they pay too much attention to artistry, and they are not sure of being shortlisted.

Each country and region of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic can only have two entries. In China, there must be China Film to sign up. Otherwise, it will disrespect the overall situation and undermine unity, and it will also be passed.

After much deliberation, the three decided on the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. After all, few people in China have heard of the Swiss film festival. The Montreal International Film Festival is mainly used as a trading platform. For Tang An It's useless, after all, overseas copyright has nothing to do with him.

However, eggs cannot be put in one basket. Tang An decided to deliver once to all three film festivals, and it would be best to participate in the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain.

While waiting for the news, Tang An also had a good rest.

More than a month of continuous shooting, half a month of editing, and more than half a month of special effects production, even his still young body is a bit too much.

But he didn't go out for a while. After all, he was poor. Spain, Switzerland, and Canada were all far away. Round-trip air tickets, board and lodging were also an expense.

Originally, he only had 4000 yuan left on him, and he spent 600 yuan at one time to pay the rent for two months.

Now there are more than 3000 points left, which is saved by saving food and money.

Fortunately, 3000 yuan is enough to buy two air tickets, otherwise we should look at the sky and cry.

But just in case, Tang An found a temporary job nearby to prevent himself from starving to death.

At the end of August, Tang An received replies from the Montreal International Film Festival in Canada and the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. After some consideration, he finally chose to go to Spain.

Next, Tang An called several airlines before he bought two cheap round-trip tickets from a low-cost airline.

As the name suggests, low-cost airline tickets are much cheaper than other air tickets, but they will charge for luggage, meals and water on the plane, and even blankets.

That means buying extra for everything on the plane, and the seats are more crowded.

The two tickets add up to 2000 yuan, and most of the deposits have disappeared.

Of course, you have to bring the heroine with you to participate in the film festival. After confirming the time, Tang An took out his mobile phone and called Xu Manyun.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and a pleasantly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey."

"Xu"

"Man Yun, how are you doing lately?" Tang An asked concerned when she heard the obvious exhaustion in her tone.

"I'm fine, but it's Mimi's turn recently, and I'm a little busy!"

Xu Manyun waited for more than two months, originally thinking that Tang An would not contact her again, but now he received a call suddenly, a little excited.

"Why did you call me suddenly, what's the matter?"

Tang An is not an emotional idiot, he still can't understand what's going on when he listens to the words on the phone with a bit of a little girl's attitude.

It seems that Xu Manyun has some meaning for him, not just a simple friendship.

It was a little embarrassing now, he thought that Xu Manyun was depressed at the time, so he drank some wine, purely to vent.

After all, he was the only man at that time, so she couldn't let her go to find Yang Mi.

"It's like this. I don't have Mr. Li's phone number. Tell Mr. Li that "Shark Beach" has been shortlisted for the Best Feature Film and Audience Choice Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. I want Yang Mi to join me Going to the film festival, it's inconvenient to ask Mr. Li!" Tang An bit the bullet and said.

One advantage of foreign film festivals is that it doesn't matter whether you are famous or not, as long as the film suits your taste, you can get nominated.

That's why later on, many actors who I didn't know at all won the "International Award".

In fact, it is useless for eggs, and it will be cold after frying for about one month.

"Oh, I see!"

Xu Manyun on the other end of the phone was a little disappointed, and then smiled again, "Okay, I will talk to President Li later, and I will call you back later."

"okay!"

The two were silent for a moment, and Tang An felt that he should say something, otherwise he would become a ruthless, ruthless "human scum".

"Well, I've been busy with movies recently, and now the post-production special effects have been done, and it's scheduled to be released on National Day."

We chatted for five or six minutes, until Xu Manyun seemed to be called by someone, and then hung up the phone.

Ugh!
For a month and a half, Tang An didn't move at all in the face of Yang Mi, a future star.

Originally, with his image and ability, it was easy to pick up a 17-year-old girl.

But Tang An didn't, he didn't have time to fall in love with a little girl, and it would also affect Yang Mi's state.

Can a young girl in love perfectly interpret that state of terror?
It's even worse if you just ignore it when you're done!

It was not until two hours later that Tang An received a call to tell Xu Manyun the time and flight.

The next step is to prepare clothes, you can't go in T-shirts, jeans and jackets.

However, he couldn't afford famous brand suits, so Tang An ordered a suit in a small shop nearby.

It was opened by an old man, who was said to be a senior worker in a former garment factory.

Handmade, high quality and low price, the three-piece set is only more than 100 yuan.

For leather shoes, I bought double-received leather shoes at the vegetable market. The style is not too old, but they are definitely strong.

No brand can have a strong style, Versace, Armani, Gucci and so on are too vulgar!
ps: Please collect and recommend tickets! ! !

I haven't been in a good state for the past two days. It seems that there is some water. I have written two chapters when I can finish one chapter. I'm sorry. . . . . .

Please collect and recommend tickets. Tomorrow is a new week. I hope to have a good ranking in the new book list and increase a little exposure!

　A lot of people told me about the prices, except for air tickets, most of them are more reasonable, such as tomato and egg soup, green pepper fried meat, homemade tofu, and pan-fried saury.At the nearby vegetable market, I don’t spend more than 15 yuan. I can buy all kinds of vegetables except seasoning, one tomato, one egg, three or four green peppers, two or three liang of meat (10 yuan per catty), one or two pieces of tofu , a small saury (at most three or four dollars).

　　As for the suits, they are not very high-end suits. A set in the nearby vegetable market is less than [-] yuan. There is a stall set up by an old man who repairs leather shoes. The suits are made to order at home.

　　The prices in Xiangshan above, I may not understand the prices on the eastern coast back then, there is no way, the author’s family is in a central city, very poor, in 09, high school went to the city to go to school for 10 yuan a day, including breakfast and lunch, almost no pocket money , Of course, there are a lot of rich classmates, and one day can cost you several months of money.
