Chapter 203 Heavyweight big prize!
The time for the Toronto Film Festival to announce the final awards is getting closer and closer. Many films are now launching the most intense public relations, and the public relations part goes deep into every detail of the film festival.

The public relations of "Raid" is also in progress, but how much public relations energy Chris and his group can have... Anyway, Chen Xi himself is not very clear, nor does he have particularly strong confidence.

However, some things still have to be done.

Fortunately, Toronto is relatively fair. If fans like it, it is not impossible for the film to win an award.

On June 6th, the awards ceremony of the Toronto Film Festival was officially held... On this day, not only the people of the Toronto Film Festival, but also the eyes of other parts of the world, especially from China, from China The attention has skyrocketed during this period of time, and many people are looking forward to what award "The Raid" will win. Of course, everyone knows that it is not easy to win an award in such an internationally renowned film festival.

Moreover, there is still a problem in the middle...

Before "The Raid", no Chinese-language film had won at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Although there have been many Chinese-language movies shown here, none of them have actually won awards... This kind of thing is a bit weird, but it is true.

Therefore, if "Raid" can win the award, it will bring a new record for Chinese-language films... No... Wait!
"Raid" is not considered a Chinese film now, but a co-production film between the United States and the Xiangjiang region. This is the nature of the film. Although it is said that the capital basically comes from Deep Space Film and Television, on the bright side, this cannot be regarded as a film. A purely Chinese film...Of course, even so, as long as this film wins an award in Toronto, it will be a zero breakthrough!The meaning of representation is still quite huge.

However, this year's Toronto Film Festival not only screened Chinese films by Chen Xi, but also films by several other well-known domestic directors. The feeling of winning these films must be better than that of " "Raid" is much higher, and many people even think of "Raid" as a spell in their hearts...

It was under such circumstances that the award ceremony officially began!

There are really a lot of people paying attention to the Toronto Film Festival this year, and many reporters from the Chinese side have also come to the scene, and there are quite a few.

The award ceremony is in another place, Chen Xi and the others haven't entered the hall yet, Chen Xi's "Raid" and himself are actually not well-known here, and no one pays attention to him, but now in the hall It was so chaotic, Chen Xi didn't want to go there and crowded with people.

When Chen Xi and the others came to the hall, the people here were almost full. At this time, many people had expressions on their faces that were about to welcome an important moment. Many people had such a picture full of Looking forward to but worried.

Awards are related to their future and everything.

Everyone wanted to win such an award, including Chen Xi of course.

However, something happened that wasn't what Chen Xi expected: They actually saw Johnson at the awards ceremony... This is really not good news.

Johnson snorted coldly when he saw Chen Xi and the others.

Although the Toronto Film Festival is a film festival for movie fans, at this time today, the main body is still various producers in all aspects of the film, and of course there are many bosses of film companies and the like, so Johnson will also appear at this place.

Johnson's eyes were very sharp, and he quickly saw Chen Xi and the others. At that moment, Johnson had such a naughty smile on his lips, and walked towards Chen Xi directly. As he walked, his laughter became bigger.

He said: "Do you also want to award awards for your films? Hey, I have to say that this is a good idea. If you win a prize at a film festival, then there will be a lot of attention, which will be converted into box office... But, buddy, don't think about it. Now, not all good things will come to your heads!"

There was even a bit of curse in Johnson's tone, and Chen Xi frowned. In fact, Chris, who was beside Chen Xi, was also quite upset.

At that moment, Chen Xi said: "Anyway, I don't think this has much to do with you, we still have something to do, please step aside for now!"

After these words were uttered, Johnson didn't want to mess around anymore, but there was a sneer in this guy's smile... Indeed, there has never been a precedent for a Chinese film to win an award here before, so it's possible that Chen Xi can accomplish this A zero breakthrough is not possible?Whether others believe it or not, Johnson himself does not believe it.

Chen Xi and the others found their own seats and sat down. Just now, Johnson was very short-mouthed. In fact, Chen Xi had already experienced this before, so he didn't think too much about it now. After all, voting The result has already come out, now it is only a matter of time, anyway, Chen Xi always needs to know.

Therefore, no matter whether Johnson said something or not, and no matter what he said, there are some results that he has no way to change and cannot change. All Chen Xi has to do now is wait.

... At the same time, China on the other side of the ocean is also paying attention to this matter, and there are quite a few people who are paying attention.

Especially Chen Xi's fans.

"Before, none of the Chinese-language film makers had one, and none of the films had won an award or honor in Toronto. This time, Chen Xi and the others, in fact, most people did not have expectations, but for me , I always feel that this matter may have a turning point." This is a post in Chen Xitie Bar. Under the post, there are a lot of people who support this poster. It has broken through more than 100 replies, and the replies are still is increasing.

"Yes, I believe Chen Xi! However, even if they can't win the award, judging from the good reviews and early attendance of this movie, it shouldn't be difficult to do well at the box office and gain some popularity overseas. , this may be the layout that Chen Xi set up first!"

"That should be the case, otherwise "The Raid" wouldn't have surfaced until recently."

...Chen Xi really has a lot of fans now, but what makes Chen Xi himself a little distressed is that among his fans, there are a considerable number of people who may be called brain-dead by others. Fans, these people will defend Chen Xi no matter what, and will say that Chen Xi is doing the right thing, but... in reality?
Idiot fans are sometimes easy to recruit people they like. This kind of idiot fans is indeed conducive to the development of the fan economy, but from a strict point of view, the existence of idiot fans in the long run is harmful to people. There are many downsides.

But Chen Xi has no way of controlling what kind of crowd fans are, so he just prays that these guys don't get involved in scolding battles everywhere and let him be scolded along with him.

In addition, in North America, there are also many movie fans who are paying attention to this matter, and many of them voted because they like Chen Xi's "Raid", so they are eager to know the final result.

The Toronto Film Festival is indeed a film festival for movie fans. The highest award of this film festival is called the Audience Choice Award. Chen Xi wants to compete for the "Choice Award for the Midnight Crazy Unit". Awards are more realistic and real goals.

...The award ceremony has officially begun!

Chen Xi and the others were sitting in a relatively dark place. What made Chen Xi speechless was that from his angle, he could see Johnson, and that guy also felt the presence of Chen Xi and the others. He turned around before The head and they looked at each other, which made Chen Xi feel very uncomfortable.

... When the awards ceremony officially started, Chen Xi was in no mood to pay attention to these trivial matters. He was just listening to each award presentation, which might disappoint some Chinese movie fans: before Chen Xi was shortlisted and The Chinese films that participated in the awards were basically wiped out, and none of them survived... This made many people feel that it is really not easy for a Chinese film to win an award in Toronto .

At this moment, that fellow Johnson also turned his head and glanced at Chen Xi, his face still had that kind of complacent look on his face, and he didn't deserve to be beaten. His meaning was also obvious: "Look, you Chinese None of his films can win awards, and this one of yours won't either, your investment will be in vain, don't worry!"

Feeling this, Chen Xi still didn't care too much about it, his goal was just an award...

Finally, time began to pass, and it finally came to Chen Xi and his team's winner!Now, both Chen Xi and Chris sat up straight, wishing they could take their eyes out of their eyes and stare at the hostess of the awards ceremony, hoping to get news in advance.

"The film that won the No.30 Audience Choice Award in the Midnight Crazy Section of the Toronto International Film Festival!"

When the host read this passage, many people sat upright and their ears were almost pricked up, because this matter is closely related to them...

Including Chen Xi, although he doesn't seem nervous at all on the surface, but in fact, he has long been thinking about various possible situations in his heart and even a little worried about gains and losses...

Fortunately, at this moment, the host's voice sounded again!

"A Kami Collaboration Raid!"

The host's voice appeared directly with a bit of texture. Chen Xi and "Raid" were really successful under such circumstances, and they were successful for a while!
