Chapter 69 Inspiring Ambition

Come all come.

It’s not easy to come here.

Two points of view support Huang Baiyou's wandering around Montreal even when the outdoor temperature is minus three degrees.

"No wonder the Montreal Film Festival usually takes place in August or September, but this year it was moved to February due to special circumstances. The winter in Quebec is really too cold."

What does the specific situation mean? There's a lack of money because Montreal's economy is down.

The yellow and white wandering on the street have long experienced it. Baptized by the information on the Internet, he always thought that the most frost-resistant people in the world were the furry bears, but the current situation really gave him a bit of a Canadian shock.

Wearing shorts and sandals even in freezing temperatures!

You can say that they are not afraid of the cold. Their upper bodies are tightly wrapped in down jackets. You can say that they are afraid of the cold. They wear shorts and sandals, and their thighs are purple from the cold. They still go their own way.

What Huang Baiyou saw was not an isolated case, at least a quarter of the people on the street were like this, not only young people, but also old people.

Bai Mangmang was cold and hurt, but Huang Baiyou made a decisive decision to go to the Cinema Palace to watch a few movies. It was held for ten days. There were 25 shortlisted films in the main competition section, plus the Chinese section and the French section, and there were a hundred flowers of works for him to watch.

The fourth day in Montreal.

Mattress: [Come, rush, I just happened to see the notification. Your crew has finished filming. Let’s go back to the capital. Let’s take a break. ]

Received a message from my fair-weather friend Simmons.

It's true that I haven't seen this guy for a long time, and Huang Baiyou is a little helpless. What a coincidence.

[Just arrived in Montreal, Canada. ]

For Simmons, Huang Baiyou's reply was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. It was foreseeable that he was so angry at the law firm's case that his blood pressure soared.

Who can defend a person who is ungrateful and has caused the breakdown of three families? Just go to hell and defend your eggs.

"Canada, right? I'm sure to have this meal today." Simmons glanced at the air ticket. The air ticket was tens of thousands. The key was that he had to transfer and the flight time was more than 20 hours.

The blood pressure quickly returned to normal, falling by 20,000 yuan every time. Even Simmons, who had an annual income of more than 600,000 yuan, felt sick.

"It's not that I'm stingy. The main reason is that the flight time is too long. My waist and legs are not good, so I can't take such a long flight." Simmons wondered whether he should find a new fair-weather friend as a spare tire, and traveled with Huang Bai across the country. The more popular it becomes, the busier it becomes, and it’s hard to get together to eat and drink together.

"It's too difficult. In this world, it's just as difficult to find a pure fair-weather friend as it is to find a sincere friend." The most annoying thing about Simmons is that friendship is mixed with calculations. If friendship is not complete, there will be no friendship at all.

Anyway, when Huang Baiyou was blacklisted by the entire Internet last year, he was only worried about whether Huang was in a good mood to eat, and if he lost his appetite, it would affect his appetite.

Simmons on the Chinese side sighed, and Huang Baiyou on the Canadian side also thought of something.

Oops, he went back to the capital to treat his manager Qin Xing to dinner when he said the filming was finished, but he was delayed in attending the film festival... Huang Baiyou thought about it and explained that it was currently 12:30 a.m. in Ottawa, Canada, and it should be 12 noon in China. Half, it won't disturb the agent's work.

[What is Brother Qin doing? ]

In about five or six minutes, there was a reply——

Black Face: [For dinner, treat others to Sichuan hot pot. ]

You know, the agent is the kind of person who remembers everything in a small notebook, and the focus of the reply is "other people ask for it", which is a bit of a fool's errand.

[I haven’t had hot pot for a long time, and there’s no good food in Canada. I’ll have a good meal when I come back, and I’ll call Brother Qin when the time comes. ] Huang Baiyou replied.

Blackface: [Yes]

After settling the serious matters, Huang Baiyou still had a few small things to do. He found a reliable law firm online and wanted to formulate a contract.

The main reason is to cooperate with a certain company to purchase the copyright contract for the remake of "Kill Me Heal Me". Huang Baiyou did not consult Simmons at all, but he actually respected this friendship of pure fair-weather friends.

Nothing interesting happened during the screening that was worth recording. Let’s just talk about the closing ceremony of the film festival.

"The Road of Life" scored one out of three and won the Best Screenplay Award. Zhao Jiang and Tong Qu applauded Chu Quan. It's good to have something rewarding.

With the movie earning more than 3 billion yuan in box office, the crew was sued by the prototype character Teacher Di, because Teacher Di did not agree with the film adaptation after reading the script, cheated on his wife, beat his wife, and relied on Grelin to make profits. Literary processing, in the end, Mr. Di agreed that the movie needs character arcs and plot conflicts, and agreed to the adaptation, but asked that a piece of his VCR explanation be placed at the end of the film. Obviously, the showrunners did not do this.

It doesn’t mean that there will be no profit after the movie is released. China does not have the profit from post-production discs in Europe, America and Taiwan, but it can still be sold to video websites, so reputation is definitely important. Winning the Best Screenplay Award at the Montreal Film Festival can also dilute many negative reviews.

Teacher Chu Quan is still a sincere blessing for winning the award, but the other winners... Huang Baiyou is a ruthless applause robot. People's joy is incompatible with each other, let alone honor. He is sincerely happy for others, and Huang Baiyou is still It's quite difficult.

"There is no sense of participation. I hope I can be nominated in a few years, so I can feel a little participatory." Huang Baiyou thought to himself.

The awards ceremony lasted for one and a half hours, with the chairman of the film festival jury serving as the presenter and announcing the top award.

"The film that won the Americas Grand Prize is..."Eastern Promises", congratulations to Mr. William Conan Bolling." The chairman of the jury read the comment, "The dark and bloody "Eastern Promises" is like a roaring high-speed train. It is full of impact but does not cause anyone's sensory discomfort. It is actually Mr. Conan Bolling's pioneering experiment in editing techniques."

The movie tells the story of the gangsters in the country of the furry bears. For Canada, the country of the furry bears is also the East and there is nothing wrong with it.

Tong Qu also mentioned Conan Bolin's name before, and as expected, he became the biggest winner tonight.

Conan Bolin is in his sixties, with a very elite appearance. His gray hair is tied back with hairspray, and his clothing is meticulous.

As soon as he came on stage, there was loud applause from below.

Canadian national treasure director Conan Bolling's films are full of pioneering ideas and he is also one of the most famous independent film directors in Hollywood.

A regular at the three major European film festivals, it has not won any mainstream awards (Top Prize, Best Director and Grand Jury Prize). But Conan Bolling has completed a Grand Slam in another sense, including the Berlin Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award, the Cannes Golden Carriage Award, and the Venice Special Jury Award.

To give a slight explanation for the unusual awards above, the Golden Horse Award honors "pure cinematic talent."

"Conan Bolin's movie is indeed good." Tong Qu said this, but in his heart he thought that he could replace it.

Tong Qu believes that he can become an influential director all over the world, so he is polishing the script of his next drama.

Tong Qu and Huang Baiyou were the only two people in the crew who were stimulated by the award ceremony to become ambitious. The rest of the crew did not dare to dream so much.

"I would like to thank the jury for giving me this award, thank you." Conan Bolling said, "I would like to take the liberty of using the award ceremony to announce something about my next play."
