Chapter 24 To San Sebastian
On September 9th, at Capital Airport in Beijing, Tang An was waiting at the gate of the airport wearing a handmade custom suit and leather shoes.

The San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain starts on September 9 every year and lasts for 16 days. It takes 10 hours to fly from Beijing to Madrid, and then another 12 hours to take a bus from Madrid to San Sebastian. It must be there a few days in advance.

Not long after, a car stopped in front of him. Yang Mimi and Xu Manyun got down from the back seat, and Li Xiaowan got off the co-driver as well.

Before Tang An came up to welcome him, Li Xiaowan greeted him enthusiastically.

"Director Tang!"

"Hello, Mr. Li, please send them here yourself!" Tang An nodded at the two women, and looked at Li Xiaowan with a smile.

"Director Tang was shortlisted for the Best Feature Film and Audience Choice Awards at the International Category A Film Festival at a young age. He is really young and promising. Did I ever have any doubts about this movie? Now that I think about it, I really blush. !"

Li Xiaowan is worthy of being a human being. Tang An saw her attitude when she knew it at the beginning, and she made it clear that she didn't trust Tang An.

But I think it's different now. I didn't expect Tang An's film to be shortlisted in the International A-category Film Festival, which made Li Xiaowan look at her differently.

Taking the initiative to speak out about my previous concerns, instead, both parties have a step down.

Tang An never took it to heart either. In fact, in that situation, everyone would doubt it.

"President Li is serious. It's just an ordinary film festival, and it doesn't matter whether it wins an award or not!"

"Director Tang is being modest. Apart from a few big directors in China, as well as those who specialize in the European film market, there are very few people who can be nominated in the international A-category film festival."

"By the way, I heard that Lao Xu's film was also shortlisted for the Golden Shell Award and the Silver Shell Award for Best Director, right? Huayi's Lu Chuan was also shortlisted for the Jury Award and the Best Feature Film Award. This time we have three It is rare for a movie to be shortlisted at the same time!"

Li Xiaowan sighed, it was a coincidence that all three movies were put together.

Xu Jinglai's "Letter from an Unknown Woman" and Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" are also shortlisted?
This Tang An really didn't know, except for calling Xu Jinglai when he first arrived in the capital, he never contacted Xu Jinglai again.

Forget it, let's call again when we get to San Sebastian, it's not an international call anyway.

"Is Mr. Li going this time too?" Tang An looked at the time, it was getting late, there was still half an hour before the boarding time.

"I won't go. The company still has a lot of troubles. I don't worry if Director Tang is here." Li Xiaowan shook her head.

"It's almost time, Director Tang, you go in, I'm leaving first, I wish you all the best of luck and come back with the prize!"

"Let's go, go in and wait, if you don't get on the plane late, you won't have time to cry!" Tang An greeted the two of them, stuffed the bag to Xu Manyun, and pushed the two small suitcases to the waiting area with each hand.

"Hey director, director!" The little girl Yang Mi trotted behind her.

"What's the matter?" Tang An glanced back at her.

"Director, are we going to walk the red carpet after being shortlisted?" Yang Mi asked beside him.

"There will be."

"Will there be a lot of reporters interviewing, and there will be foreign reporters!"

"There should be."

"Then am I going to be a big star?" the little girl asked full of longing.

"It's still far away!" Tang An pierced her fantasy mercilessly.

"It's nothing more than a nomination for a small award. Even if you win a Best Actress, it will last for a month or two. After that, you still have to rely on your work to speak!"

"what"

Yang Mi, who was hit mercilessly, suddenly became depressed.

"Tang Dao," Xu Manyun who was on the side spoke at this moment.

"Call me Tang An, I don't do any more filming now, so I don't care that much!" Tang An said with a smile.

"Then what do I call you, director?" Yang Mi interjected again.

"I'm not filming now, and I can't control you, so call me whatever you want!"

"Um"

Yang Mi thought for a while before saying, "Then call me Brother An, okay?"

"It's up to you!" Tang An said casually.

"Has the movie been produced yet?" Xu Manyun continued what he said just now.

"It's impossible for me to take it to the film festival if I don't finish it!" Tang An laughed.

"How did you get the special effects? Have you found any investment?"

"China Film Group invested in it, and they also released it. It will be released at the end of September, and it just happens to be on the National Day file."

"It costs a lot of money to do special effects, so won't your investment be diluted?" Xu Manyun said with some concern.

Tang An held several jobs by himself, and was busy for more than a month. Xu Manyun didn't want to see him make a wedding dress for others for nothing.

"Don't worry about this. I won't let myself suffer. It's not convenient to disclose the details. You will know next month!" Tang An signaled that she didn't have to worry.

Xu Manyun nodded, Tang An didn't look like a fool either.

At 9:15 in the morning, the plane took off on time and landed at Madrid Barajas Airport in Spain at 21:13, which is the No.[-] super-large airport in the world.

The airport is 12 kilometers away from the center of Madrid. Finally, under the reminder of the airport staff, I got on the bus from the airport to the small city of San Sebastian.

As one of the oldest film festivals in the world and the largest film festival in Spain, it attracts a considerable number of filmmakers and fans every year.

For convenience, the organizer directly hired more than a dozen vehicles from the bus company to travel between San Sebastian and Madrid airport and train station.

Tang An didn't have to pay for the bus by virtue of the shortlist notice, and the bus driver also presented 3 pieces of whole wheat bread and [-] boxes of milk.

After 4 hours, we arrived at the destination seaside town of San Sebastian.

It is said to be a city, but it is actually similar to an ordinary town in Huaguo, except that the buildings look a little more modern.

Tang An had already booked a hotel on the eLong website when he learned that he was shortlisted, a single room and a double room.

After settling down, the three of them didn't go to sleep immediately, they had been bored sleeping for almost a day on the plane and bus.

After summing up the plans for tomorrow and the next two days, I didn't start to feel sleepy until after 3 o'clock in the morning, and I went back to my own room.

Hotels for foreigners are actually not much better than those in China, they are small and broken. Fortunately, the bathroom is separate, so you can take a shower.

As soon as Tang An finished taking a shower, he heard a slight knock on the door. After thinking about it, he opened the door.

Xu Manyun stood pretty at the door, her hair was not dried yet, and steam was rising from her face, obviously she had just taken a shower.

"Still sleeping!" Tang An gave way and asked her to come in.

After Xu Manyun came in, he looked at Tang An like this, "Mi Mi has fallen asleep!"

"Why don't you blow dry your hair, the seaside is cooler than the inland, don't catch a cold!"

"Let me blow it for you!" Tang An pulled her to sit down on the bed, took a hair dryer and started blowing it unexperienced.

It is inconvenient to have long hair, and it takes a few minutes to blow the hair.

The temperature of the hair dryer dispelled the coolness of the night, and the hearts of the lonely men and widows became hot.

It was logical to fall on the bed, to release the passion accumulated in my heart in this foreign land.
