Chapter 28 Visit
Sure enough, the subsequent award "Sniper Phone Booth" failed to win.
The Silver Crow Award went to RB's "Aragami", and "May Witch" also received a Silver Crow trophy.
The Golden Crow Award for Best Picture went to "Knives Out."
However, "Three Updates" directed by Chen Kexin only received a "Special Mention".
The China Film and Television Agency immediately sent the news of the award-winning "Sniper Phone Booth" back to China.
The Brussels Fantastic Film Festival can only be regarded as a B-category film festival. Twenty years later, this type of film festival will have basically no attention.
But things are different now. Last year, the national box office was only 950 million, and the film and television industry was in a slump. The opening of the film market is a general trend. Hollywood is coming fiercely, and domestic films must be prepared.
At this time, a young man won an award internationally. It doesn’t matter what kind of film festival it is, as long as it is not a Pheasant Award like the Houston International Film Festival, there will be publicity.
We don’t talk about setting a role model, but we also need to encourage them.
Therefore, thanks to China Film's promotion, Cheng Yu'an and "Sniper Phone Booth" became really popular.
At this time in Brussels, a group of people were waiting for their flight at the airport.
The crews of "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Three Updates" are traveling together.
"Congratulations to Director Cheng on his triumphant return and the opportunity to come to Hong Kong Island." Not only Chen Kexin said this, but also Zeng Zhiwei and Li Ming also meant this.
After bidding farewell to the crew of "Three Updates", Cheng Yu'an said to his crew:
"I'll fly to the United States first. I have some matters to deal with there."
Then he told Lin Bingkun, "I'll leave it to Lin Sheng to handle the release in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia."
Lin Bingkun smiled and said: "No problem, we have been promoting it for more than ten days. We will let the news of winning the award ferment for two days before it can be released. We have made arrangements."
"For mainland promotion, please contact Lingfeng, and she will fully cooperate."
…
At the Capital Airport, the plane from Brussels landed slowly.
The cast of "Sniper Phone Booth" returned to China with great honors.
As soon as the group appeared at the airport, they were not surrounded by a group of reporters.
"Mr. Liao Fan, how do you feel now that you have won the International Best Actor Award?"
"Mr. Liao Fan, what are your plans next?"
"Liao Fan, when will the movie be released?"
"Liao Fan, didn't Director Cheng come back with you?"
Eight out of ten questions were directed towards the actor Liao Fan.
Liao Fan was so crowded that he couldn't walk, so he had to stop and say: "The release depends on the arrangements of China Film Group. Director Cheng has gone to the United States. He has some things to deal with there. Okay, I have to leave, please give me a break."
."
Liao Fan pushed through the crowd and got into the car.
A group of reporters were left behind.
Wait, Liao Fan just said that Cheng Yuan went to the United States!
Enter Hollywood!
The front page headlines are here!
At this time, Cheng Yuan, together with Wen Ziren, landed in Los Angeles.
Cheng Yu'an first settled Wen Ziren in the hotel and said, "You rest first, I'll go out and I'll come back to sign the contract with you tomorrow afternoon at the latest, okay?"
Of course James Wan agreed.
Cheng Yu'an went out and took a taxi and said, "Go to Beverly Hills."
Beverly Hills is known as the most noble residential area in the world, with a pleasant environment and comfortable climate.
There are the most high-end commercial streets here, and many Hollywood stars are gathered here.
Cheng Yu'an's grandfather trained here.
Arriving in front of an old villa, a middle-aged woman walked towards her.
"Yu'an is here." The person who came is a nanny. She has been working at home for more than 20 years and has watched Yu'an's generation grow up.
"Hello Aunt Wang."
"Come in quickly, the old man is waiting for you." Aunt Wang affectionately took Cheng Yu'an's hand and rubbed it as she walked, "I've lost weight.
"It's better to be thinner and look energetic." Cheng Yu'an laughed.
Aunt Wang led him to the bedroom door: "Go in."
There was a fat old man lying on the bed, breathing slowly and closing his eyes slightly.
The old man opened his eyes tremblingly and said slightly: "Yu'an, you are back."
Cheng Yu'an stepped forward and held grandpa's hand: "Yes, I'm back."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back. I won't be alive for a few more days. As for my descendants, you are the one who loves me the most, and you are the one who worries me the most."
After saying that, he started coughing violently.
"I have thought about it. When I leave, I will leave all my money to you."
Cheng Yu'an's eyes lit up and he asked: "Then how much money do you have?"
Cheng Yu'an looked at the old man on the bed with his big eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, stop acting. The older you get, the less serious you become, and you even act like you are terminally ill."
The old man was as angry as a thread: "What did you say?"
"It's not over, is it? Please, please remove the cigarette smell from the room before acting on a terminal illness next time."
At this time, Aunt Wang came in from the door: "I told you not to act in this play, but you won't listen."
The old man sat up and said, "It's boring, it's really boring. I can't even deceive you, a little kid."
Seeing that the old man was fine, Cheng Yuan felt relieved, helped his grandfather out of bed, and asked, "Why did you come to the United States?"
"I'm quitting. I'm completely retired." The old man was sitting on the armchair on the balcony, with the old god there.
"The business has been handed over to my uncle and my third and fourth uncles?" Cheng Yu'an was not interested in the family business.
"Well, I've handed it all over. Old man, I've been busy all my life, and it's time to enjoy my happiness. When I get better, I will go back to China. Then you can build me a small yard in the countryside, and I will go back to plant vegetables and raise fish."
"Okay, if you're willing, I'll build you a horse farm, and you can play whatever you want in there."
"Okay, okay, you've had many ideas since you were a child."
"I heard that the movie you made won an award?" Grandpa asked.
"Well, I won a medium-sized prize, which opened up the situation a bit." Cheng Yu'an replied.
"It's good to engage in art. Your dad wanted to learn painting when he was a child, but your grandma didn't agree. When he got there, he still started a business. Sometimes I wonder, if you let your dad study art at that time, would he be able to do it in his life?
If you live a happy life, the old man won't give away the white-haired people to the black-haired people."
"Okay, why are you talking about this?" Cheng Yu'an comforted.
"Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. Yu'an, you should do your best in art. Our family has had a big feud with money for several lifetimes. Now that we have made money, I also want to understand. I am full of copper odor and can't stand it.
It’s better to engage in art, and do your best.”
After chatting about the movie, the old man started talking about family matters: "Yu'an, have you talked about a girlfriend?"
"No, I just graduated. Don't be in a hurry. I'll work hard for two years and look for it slowly."
"Why don't you rush? You are already 21. When I was your age, I had your uncle." The old man's eyes widened and he was very dissatisfied with Cheng Yu'an's words.
"Don't worry about me. I'm in the entertainment industry. What kind of girl do I want?"
"That's true, but there is one thing. The girl you are looking for must be physically and mentally healthy and have a clean history. Don't find someone like your elder brother. I'll get angry just looking at her."
The old man is talking about Uncle Cheng Yuan's son.
"What? Sister-in-law, are you angry again?"
"Every day I know that she plays outside without being at home, and leaves the child to the nanny. Those who don't know better think she is still a young girl. If I don't talk about her, I won't talk about her.
"Speaking of this, I remembered that I told you about a baby kiss."
"Sir, what age are we now? This has long been out of business."
"I know that the two families were just joking at that time and didn't take it seriously. That family seems to be from Sanqin, and their surname is Jin or something."
