Every time like this, Madam's suspicious temperament was revealed again. Although Wu Di thought that this was nonsense to him, this time, he did not refute Madam.
Because, rarely, this time he thought there was some truth in what Madam said.
Feelings don't stand the test that well. Sometimes, even a little storm can't be tolerated.
For example, many couples, especially women in marriage, always like to talk about divorce. In fact, she does not want divorce at all and has no such intention. However, on the one hand, she will speak indiscriminately when she is angry.
On the other hand, she was sure that the man did not want a divorce, so she always threatened him with such words.
In order to achieve various purposes.
In the beginning, it was of course very effective.
In order to avoid divorce and to make their wives happy, men often compromise. But you have to know that there is no panacea in this world that can cure all diseases, and the same is true for marriage relationships.
If you shout about divorce too much, you will become a wolf who has troubled the other party, and the relationship will be exhausted through compromises again and again. In the end, you have to divorce even if you don't want to divorce.
Isn't this just what you were told to do?
Madam still wants to keep this son-in-law, but she cannot let him waste her feelings.
"As long as you have a plan, I won't interfere. However, don't delay it too long. It will not be good for both of you."
After the lady made this conclusive statement, her eyes turned and Lao Zhang appeared.
Lao Zhang strolled over. He was always serious, but today he had a rare smile on his face.
Lao Zhang is in a good mood, which is naturally a good thing.
However, this is great!
I saw Lao Zhang's slightly narrow face, with the corners of his mouth curled up and his teeth exposed, all in a smile.
The old father-in-law who always had a straight face suddenly acted like this. Wu Di suddenly felt flustered and instinctively took a few steps back.
There is a demon in this!
Don't come near me!
"Xiao Wu!"
"congratulation!"
Lao Zhang didn't care about this. He grabbed Wu Di's hand after a few steps and shook it desperately: "This time when we go to the international arena, we must perform well!"
"internationality?"
"Mr. Zhang, where did you say I was going?" Wu Di was confused, but at this moment, Zhang Feng, who had just been chatting with his wife at the back, changed his face and hurried over.
She was smiling just now, but now she looked nervous. Obviously, this was abnormal.
Zhang Feng was very fast, but unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
"Of course it's Shuicheng!"
"how?"
"You don't know yet?"
Lao Zhang looked at Zhang Feng in confusion, and Zhang Feng thought to himself: Old man, you told me everything before you thought of colluding with me!
late!
Lao Zhang's face was full of surprise, but Zhang Feng didn't seem to have much emotional fluctuations, and his expression was natural.
"No way!"
"Did I really win the award?"
"And, you all know?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. In fact, we don't know the exact news yet, but it is confirmed that you can attend."
When it came to winning the award, Zhang Feng waved her hand and denied it. She couldn't guarantee it in advance for such a big event. If it didn't happen, wouldn't it make Wu Dikong happy?
"Where did you get the news?"
Seeing Lao Zhang's confused look, Wu Di secretly speculated that maybe the father and daughter had different sources of information.
Now that everything has been revealed, there is no need to keep it secret anymore. Zhang Feng sighed and said: "Ms. Lan got the news, but I don't have such ability."
"Ms. Lan is indeed very powerful. She can even find out information like this." Lao Zhang also sighed with emotion.
"My old friend from the jury mentioned you when we were chatting with me last night. He said that you and Xiao Qi could prepare in advance and perform better when attending a large-scale international event for the first time. First impression is very important."
"I thought, of course I have to tell you such good news as soon as possible."
"and……"
"Dad, if you haven't decided on anything yet, why don't you make plans in advance?" As if he could see through his father's thoughts at a glance, Zhang Feng stopped Lao Zhang before he got to the point.
Lao Zhang muttered a few times and finally swallowed his words. What could it be? Here, Wu Di put a question mark in his little head.
Obviously, Lao Zhang knew about this matter, and so did Xiao Zhang. Only Wu Di didn't know about it.
"No wonder you guys teased me like this today."
"It turns out that you want me to be more dignified when I attend the award ceremony."
Since we are going to participate in the Water City Film Festival, we have a reason for this farce led by Lan Masanti and Zhang Feng.
"Don't be too proud, we just don't want you to embarrass us." As soon as Wu Di was proud, Zhang Feng's tongue began to itch, and he must find trouble to make Wu Di unhappy.
But now, Wu Di is unhappy, and Zhang Feng is happy too.
"It won't be embarrassing, you can rest assured."
"Why are you so confident? Just because you are handsome?"
Zhang Feng looked Wu Di up and down, his eyes full of provocation. Women have somewhat insincere hobbies.
"I didn't say that, that's what you said."
"You, you really are attracted by my handsome image. That's what you think about every day."
"you!"
"Glib tongue!"
Zhang Feng's face turned red. His little mouth, which had been so nimble just now, suddenly became stammering, and he couldn't refute at all. The two of them sang and harmonized, and Lao Zhang found it interesting to watch.
However, it was impossible for him to participate.
If the information hadn't been wrong, he wouldn't have let the news out today. Who told Xiaofeng not to say hello to him in advance?
As expected, she is still to blame for this matter!
"Actually, you didn't have to worry about it in the first place. Think about it, appearance is not important to me at all."
"This time in Water City, the only awards I was shortlisted for were Best Picture and Best Director, and not the Actor Award. Even if I appeared at the film festival and won the award, I would only appear as a behind-the-scenes person."
"It doesn't play any special role to dress up beautifully. Besides, Xiao Qi and I are co-directors, so if we want to attend, we have to be together."
"If you are so kind, how about buying him a set too?"
"No, no, forget it."
"I have no control over his affairs." Wu Di just probed lightly, and Zhang Feng quickly withdrew.
What a disappointment.
"Xiao Wu, I want to interrupt."
"I just said you were expected to attend, but I never said you would win the award."
"You must understand this, and don't hold the hot cupping pot in advance." Lao Zhang must not watch Wu Di fall into a terrible situation of fantasy. Wu Di smiled and said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, please don't lie to me.
I understand everything."
"You understand?"
"What do you know?"
Wu Di's ambiguous look made Lao Zhang immediately alert. This kid couldn't really have embraced him!
"If the news of this kind of award is revealed to you in advance, doesn't it mean that it has already been decided?"
"Besides, I've already been invited to attend, so I'll get a prize no matter what. Otherwise, why would you ask me to prepare in advance for this all the way?"
"Isn't it unnecessary?"
Everyone is familiar with dividing the pork. Ten years later, it will become more common at major award ceremonies.
The more prosperous and developed the film market is, the more film festivals there will be and there will be so many awards, which naturally requires big stars from all walks of life to support them.
The time of big stars is also very precious. They have many businesses and are busy all day long. There are many more important activities than attending film festivals.
Film festivals, after all, have only two functions for big stars. One of them is to win awards.
Another point is that you can show your face and gain a sense of presence.
It can be said that many film festivals also need more big stars to support them, so it is basically a default common sense that everyone who comes will get a prize.
In many film festivals, you will find that their nomination lists are also very large. It can be said that they include all the popular works that have received good reputation in the past year or two.
But, in the end, there were no big names participating in the film festival, and even the final award-winning film was completely unexpected?
This is why?
Could it be that the judges at these film festivals have unique tastes? Or are they all blind?
no no!
Of course it’s impossible!
If it could invite big-name movie stars, of course the film festival would also like to give them awards. How could it not be possible?
But now, they don't do this, is it because they don't want to?
But they couldn't invite him at all!
As a result, a very paradoxical scene took place. You can find that although the nomination lists at major film festivals are prestigious, in fact, the stars who come to the award ceremony to support them basically have awards.
If you don't come, you don't get the prize.
As for film festivals, the basic operating rules are the same. No one is more noble than the other, so why hide it?
There's nothing shameful about this.
"Xiao Wu, do you think Shuicheng is one of those people who distribute pork prizes? Letting you attend is just to give you a chance to show your face."
"There are so many that I participated in the whole process, but in the end I didn't get a single award."
"Really?"
"Is that so?"
Little Wu Di felt that his little heart was greatly shocked. How could it be like this? How could it be like this!
Zhang Feng hooked his shoulder and explained with infinite regret.
In 2010, the Water City Film Festival was not worthy of its name. It was really not that great. Both the thickness of the works and the quality of the award-winning works were still very high.
Moreover, it is also very recognized by the industry. Unlike ten years later, it has already opened a huge distance from the Cannes Film Festival and dropped to the bottom of the three major ones.
In fact, the fact that the so-called three major film festivals have reached this position today is inseparable from the support and support of the majority of filmmakers and film lovers.
Film is an art form that originated in the West. Its origin is not in Hollywood, which is now in full swing, but in Europe, France, where the Cannes Film Festival is held.
There is a strong artistic atmosphere here, and there are many film talents. With a solid foundation and early origins, we can naturally seize the opportunity.
Filmmakers are accustomed to gathering here, and this place can often provide filmmakers with a good creative space. It is precisely because of such a positive interactive relationship that the works selected for the film festival can be guaranteed.
Film festivals in many places have not developed a reputation, mainly because they did not have this historical accumulation and were born too late.
Not thick enough.
As an annual film event, the Water City Film Festival is extremely popular every time it is held. Many filmmakers, even if they have no works in the selection, will always find various ways to join in.
In other words, not everyone who goes to major film festivals to show their faces, or those who work behind the scenes, has a work.
There are so many things that are just made up with nothing.
For example, there are big stars who are invited by magazines, invited by endorsement brands, or even those who don’t have any invitations and just rely on themselves to buy tickets.
There are many ways.
What did you say?
Whether it's Cannes or Water City, such a high-end film festival is just like a movie theater. You can go there just by paying for it?
Ha ha!
It turns out that you didn’t know until now?
Yeah yeah.
In a sense, there is not much difference between a film festival and a wet market. As long as you have money, you can dress up beautifully and go to those closed-door dinner parties and sneak around the red carpet.
lock up.
All are possible.
All are allowed.
These are all public and clearly priced, and even if you are not short of money, you will think that a ticket to the film festival is actually quite cost-effective.
For a ticket worth tens of thousands of yuan, you can dress up beautifully and sit in the same hall as all the big stars and directors.
Although it is impossible to sit at the same table, at least you can eat in the same lobby. When the time comes, you will always have free time to take photos with this person and have a drink with that person. How comfortable.
When the time comes, leave a few photos and post them online, which will naturally be a great tool for showing off, and can attract countless followers.
For big stars, going to this kind of film festival is even more beneficial. Not only can they get closer to their peers in the industry, but they can also slightly confuse the public.
After all, most fans only know that those famous film festivals are powerful, but they don't understand the many twists and turns involved.
As long as your brothers and sisters appear at the three major film festivals, no matter what they do or whether they have any works, they are all great.
Not many people can calculate it so clearly. In this way, it can leave a promising impression to the outside world.
However, the industry is very clear about these things, and it is impossible to fool them.
Wu Di has a work, and his work was also a finalist. This matter has now been widely publicized on the Internet.
It is now 2010. At this time, let alone winning awards in the three majors, just being shortlisted is extremely precious.
You can brag a lot.
Therefore, when the shortlisted list was introduced to the country, major media immediately made concentrated reports, and the names of Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu were bound to appear in relevant press releases.
