China Entertainment Times

Chapter 25
San Sebastian is a bay city in northern Spain. The entire town is in a ring shape and surrounds a bay.

Compared with tourist destinations such as Hawaii and Phuket, most Chinese people may not have heard of the city of San Sebastian.

But this is a very famous seaside resort in the local area, and even in the whole of Europe.

Europeans say that Spain is a paradise for retirees, and San Sebastian must be the paradise of that paradise.

However, this Tang An has nothing to do with a dime. If you don't have money to go to heaven, you don't have to live in the world.

If you have money, you can go to hell and live comfortably. After all, money can make ghosts turn the millstones, and money can enlighten gods.

A beggar in Dubai is a beggar, and heaven is no better for the poor.

On the 14th, Tang An stayed in his room all day, occasionally playing poker with Xu Manyun and Yang Mi to pass the time.

"Three sixes, I won again!"

After playing the last three cards, Tang An no longer remembers how many cards he won in a row.

"I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore, I can't beat you at all!" Yang Mi angrily threw the poker cards on the table.

Xu Manyun also lost his temper, and said with a wry smile, "No wonder you can make a good movie by yourself, and you can win even if you don't care about the cards!"

"The brain is powerful, there is no way!" Tang An said with a smile.

Yang Mi had been clamoring to go out to play at noon, but it was because Tang An said that he ignored the cards and came to play with them, so it dragged on for a while.

Tang An used to play this kind of game a lot in the past. After the cards were dealt out, he would get used to it after a dozen cards were caught in his hand.

Not to mention recognizing one's own cards clearly, even remembering the cards is not a problem.

"Brother An, Sister Manyun, let's go out for a stroll, it's rare to go abroad!" Yang Mi said, looking at the two of them eagerly.

"Still going out, can you speak Spanish, don't get lost as soon as you leave the hotel!"

"I can speak English, Brother An, don't you also talk to the front desk in English!" Yang Mi said unconvinced.

There were still two and a half days left, and it was not an option to stay in the room all the time. After thinking about it, Tang An took them out.

"Then let's go to Concha Beach, it's the most famous local beach, and there are some local delicacies nearby, just in time for a meal!" Tang An suggested
He had been to San Sebastian in his previous life, but the poor in the city and the old city should never go there.

This small town has gathered dozens of top chef academies around the world, and has trained a large number of top European chefs. The commercial streets in the city and the old city are full of high-end restaurants, many of which are Michelin-starred restaurants. With the thickness of Tang An's current wallet, it is estimated that Can't eat two meals.

The consumption near Concha Beach is relatively close to the people, almost like food stalls on the street.

"Okay, okay!" As soon as she heard that she was going to go out, Yang Mi immediately went back to her room and prepared to clean up.

Waiting for a woman to put on makeup is cruel, because there is no exact time. Later, Tang An met one of the biggest actors in filming, and he didn't finish it from nine o'clock in the morning until noon.

It turns out that it took me an hour to wash my face before putting on makeup

Wash it twice with warm water first, then cleanser, toner, and barrier cream. After finishing, apply a moisturizing mask, and then massage the face.

What a mess!
Fortunately, Yang Mi and Xu Manyun didn't do it for so long, they came out after more than 20 minutes, put on a little make-up, and changed into swimsuits.

Yang Mi wears a tube style, while Xu Manyun wears a three-piece suit with a short suspender skirt over a bikini.

Tang An himself is the standard equipment of big pants, T-shirt and flip-flops.

Sitting on the vast Concha Beach, the waves are shimmering. Behind the beach, the buildings on the whole mountain are rolling up and down, but in front of you is the endless sea.

Looking at the four directions, the sky is clear and clear, the autumn sun is warm, and the cool breeze is blowing.

In fact, that's the case. Most of the beaches are similar, and there is nothing new if you go too much.

Find a place where there is no one to lie down, enjoy the sea breeze, and feel much more comfortable.

"We're going to swim, do you want to go?"

"You guys go, I'll take a break!" Tang An waved his hand and asked the two of them to swim by themselves.

This period of time is also busy enough, and it is rare to have time to rest.

At the same time, it is time to consider the next move.

It's a surprise that the mainland box office of "Shark Beach" belongs to me. Even if it only ends up with 400 million box office, I can still share 100 million.

With 100 million, there is a lot of room for manipulation, at least a complete crew can be pulled up.

However, for 100 million yuan, you still have to choose a film with few actors and scenes, preferably a modern drama.

Firstly, the cost is low, and secondly, it is easier to control it. After all, it will definitely be troublesome to put together a temporary crew. The scenes are too big and too many to shoot, and there are too many actors.

"Tang An?"

In a daze, I heard someone calling my name, and in a blink of an eye, Xu Jinglei and Jiang Wen were looking at me in surprise, and behind me were the artist Cao Jiuping and the photographer of "A Letter from a Strange Woman" Li Bingping.

"Old Xu, Brother Wen, you are here!"

Tang An got up from the reclining chair, and greeted the two people behind, "Mr. Cao, Mr. Li, hello!"

"Why did you come to Spain? Did you also come to the film festival?" Xu Jinglai asked puzzled.

"Otherwise, why would I travel thousands of miles when I'm full? I've been shortlisted for the Best Feature Film and Audience Choice Awards, so I'll just come around!" Tang An laughed.

"It's alright, boy, the first film was shortlisted for the International A-category Film Festival, and you didn't tell us about it!" Jiang Wen scolded with a smile.

"By the way, I haven't watched your movie yet, so I must watch it in two days!"

"Welcome Brother Wen to criticize!"

"By the way, I heard that you were shortlisted for the Golden Shell Award and the Best Director Award. Congratulations. This is much more important than my award for Best Feature Film!"

The Golden Shell Award is the highest award of the film festival, which is equivalent to the Palme d'Or in Cannes, the Golden Lion in Venice, and the Golden Bear in Berlin.

To put it bluntly, it is actually the best picture award, and similar to his best feature film, there are also awards such as best feature film.

"Also, Mr. Cao was nominated for the best art award, and Mr. Li was nominated for the best photography award. It's a lot of rewards!" Xu Jinglai laughed, looking in a good mood.

"It's amazing. It's the second time I've made a movie and won so many awards. Next, it's time to check the box office. When will it be released?" Tang An asked.

"April or May next year. There is still half a year left. I want to go to a few more film festivals to see if I can gain anything else."

"Wait a minute, you invested 2000 million yuan in this movie. It's basically impossible to recover the cost of this kind of theme only by box office in the mainland. I can only hope that European film producers can recognize the goods!"

Tang nodded in agreement. To be honest, unless Zhang Yimou makes a move on this kind of subject matter, with his ability and box office appeal, there is a high possibility of getting his money back.
