Although the secondary unit is not the main competition unit and focuses on a sense of participation, these award-winning works are generally feature films.
So, as long as these directors win awards, they are qualified in the three majors. Today they are in the secondary competition, but tomorrow they will be in the main competition?
These are all potential talents, and they need to be greatly cultivated, and they will be able to achieve results in the future.
Short films are different. Even if they win awards, their area of expertise is still short films. What’s the use of making short films?
It is true that there will be excellent works and there will be aesthetic appeal, but if it cannot go to theaters, won't it mean that it cannot make money if it cannot go to theaters?
If you can't make money, what are you going to do with it?
Those short film directors are rarely able to successfully transition to making feature films, and they are still short films after filming, and they cannot earn profits for investors.
Therefore, many directors who specialize in making short films are purely for love. Even if they get the favor of the three majors, their development is often very bumpy.
In this way, this team became the leader of the Labyrinth crew. After all, it was the only feature film shortlisted for the main competition.
Everyone knows that the real stars of tomorrow are the people from the Labyrinth crew who are the real protagonists of this event.
As for the leading role among the protagonists, there is no choice but to be reluctantly taken by Boss Wu.
He doesn't want to take this job, but if he doesn't get it, who can?
None of them can get in. In the end, won’t Wu Di be the only one who can get in?
After all, those who make short films can hide behind those who make feature films, but those who make feature films cannot do the opposite. No one can protect them from the wind and rain.
Boss Wu can only do it himself!
Fortunately, there was a system to help. Although Wu Di didn't speak a word of French, he still had a lot of fun talking and laughing among the guests.
Anyway, there is no need for long paragraphs of expression, as long as you can bounce a few words from time to time, it is enough. The mainstream communication is still in English.
"Hey Wu, do you know Lan?"
Sitting opposite Wu Di was a famous producer from country A. At some point, he moved his seat to Wu Di's side.
Wu Di was busy socializing here and didn't even notice.
When he mentioned it like this, Wu Di was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
After a while, Wu Di realized that the big boss was talking to him, and there was another person mentioned in his words.
Her identity turned out to be Ms. Ranmasanti!
That is, Wu Di's biological mother, at this time, in name only!
Why did he suddenly mention her?
Wu Di had a consistent smile on his face and a very humble attitude, but he had already made plans in his mind.
Just now, during the business dinner, someone had told him the identity of the big boss. Now, no matter what the purpose of this person is, Wu Di must deal with it carefully.
"Yes, I know her. She is the main investor of our film. Our film can be completed thanks to Ms. Lan's help."
"You don't have to be too polite. This is how it should be." The producer said in a relaxed tone and waved his hand.
Wu Di was stunned for a moment, what does this guy mean?
Just when Wu Di was still considering whether to admit his true relationship with Ranmasanti, this famous producer from Country A actually said such ambiguous words.
I don't know what the brain circuits of these genuine A country people are like. With Wu Di's level, he really can't judge what the big boss wants to do when he suddenly mentions Lan Masanti.
What is meant by what should be?
What does it mean to be welcome?
These words may seem simple, but they obviously mean something.
The producer looked at Wu Di who was stunned for a long time without replying, but he was not angry at all. He said very familiarly: "Don't be surprised, I know the relationship between you and Lan."
"She's your mother, right."
No, where did he know? Such a confidential matter?
How can people accept this as if it were taken for granted?
"How did you know?"
At this time, Wu Di no longer had the energy to pay attention to whether he really knew the inside story. He only paid attention to the source of the news.
He stared at the producer nervously and held his breath. Thanks to him being so nervous, the god who suddenly appeared next to him still looked like a standard country A person.
To sum it up, it’s freestyle. It seems very casual, as if these are not important things and he just mentioned them casually.
Wu Di doesn't have to be so nervous at all.
"Of course it was your mother, Ms. Lan, who told me."
"She told me herself." The producer also pointed to his mouth in an exaggerated manner to show that what he said was the truth.
Wu Di was completely stunned.
Fortunately, he was still nervous, thinking that this man had done something shameful or had some conspiracy.
He did something secretly, got this information through some crooked way, and still wants to keep it a secret!
I never imagined that other people's information channel was Lan Masanti herself, but I couldn't believe it easily. After all, it was only the first time that Wu Di and this person met.
Moreover, I have never heard Lanmasanti mention this matter before. This person, it can even be said that Wu Di has no interest at all in this woman's life experience in country A.
For him, he had neither that position nor that motivation. For this weird mother and son, those past events all represented pain.
What they have to do now is to face the future, start from this moment, reshape their relationship, and continue to live with this relationship as a starting point.
This is the best for both parties, and it can also remove the burden of the past. At least, Wu Di has no psychological burden now, but he can't say for sure about Lan Masanti.
However, judging from their recent interactions, it is obvious that Ms. Lan also believes that his choice is correct.
It is very important not to mention the past in order to maintain a good relationship with each other as much as possible.
Therefore, why did Ms. Lan go away for many years and ignore her biological son, why did she suddenly come back, and why she gave Wu Di wholehearted help like a god general? Wu Di never investigated these details.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He attributed all this to Ms. Lan’s strong ability. She is the boss of a multinational company. It is so difficult for a woman to have a career.
, even a small business is full of hardships.
Ms. Lan has managed such a large business in a strange foreign country, and the scale of the company is so large. Needless to say, the hard work she has put in is imaginable.
However, people who can achieve such a big business must have some abilities that others do not have, just like Wu Di. Now he is worried about whether his so-called film company will be able to reach the level of Ms. Lan's current company in the future?
It is said that youth is better than master. When it comes to him, he can't be a son but not as good as a mother!
Ms. Lan has never forgotten her son. Compared with Wu Di, who is in trouble in life, she can find the whereabouts of her son by just clicking her finger.
This is not difficult at all.
But, if it was so simple, why didn't she do it earlier?
You know, Wu Di has been in Hengdian for several years. Over the years, his life has basically revolved around Hengdian and he has never changed places.
Why did this mother, who claims to care deeply about her biological son and never forget her for a moment, keep turning a blind eye to him before she changed her skin and started filming?
To be honest, it is not that Wu Di has not considered these issues, and it is not that he has doubts, but it is only a matter of a moment. After all, the position is not stable.
There is no need to think deeply about these things.
But now it seems that the inside story is really not that simple. Is there really any conspiracy?
What could it be?
"You don't have to misunderstand. If I hadn't seen you and recognized you this time, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter. There's nothing to be nervous about. Your mother wanted to return to China to see you, but she was very hesitant. The two of us
We have worked together for many years and are good friends, so I encouraged her to find you, and she also told me some of the things you had done before."
"Later she found you, and after you two got to know each other, she sent me a photo of you, so I recognized you right away as soon as you sat down."
ah……
this……
No!
Any photos?
This is too legendary.
So even if he heard it with his own ears, and the other party's language was very logical, Wu Di still couldn't believe it.
it turns out……
Are there any such twists and turns in the story?
The foreign uncle who looked ordinary just now suddenly became very friendly and friendly, and he has even seen photos of him?
Is the relationship between these two people that good?
Wu Di couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, but it didn't matter. It wasn't something he needed to worry about. What he was concerned about now was what was the producer's motive for specifically mentioning this matter?
Could it be true that it was just casual talk?
Since Wu Di did not deny it, the producer brother opened the topic and automatically brought Wu Di into the category of acquaintance.
Xiao Qi on the side seemed to be thrown into outer space, and no one paid any attention to him.
However, being able to establish a relationship with such an internationally renowned producer is also a valuable opportunity for him.
Although no one planned to chat with him, he still sat on the other side of Wu Di in an orderly manner, keeping a smile.
It seems that he is ready to insert a sentence at any time, but in fact, he has never succeeded so far.
But it doesn't matter, hasn't Wu Di already had a relationship with the other party?
If Wu Di pulls it, it is equivalent to him Xiao Qi pulling it, they are all the same, there is no difference.
At the same time, Xiao Qi did not miss those key words. Although his English level was average and he could hardly understand the conversation between the two, he still caught the details such as mother and photos.
Suddenly, I felt like it was indeed the case.
correct!
All this time, his conjectures were finally verified, and all his questions could be reasonably explained.
Sure enough, such a large sum of money is not given out casually, and the so-called favor is not without reason.
No wonder Brother Da Fei was so confident about finding Wu Dila to invest in. It seems that he had known about it for a long time.
As for the other people at the banquet, they certainly noticed the unusual relationship between the two, but most of them had little interest in the content of their conversation.
Everyone is busy socializing. Why would you give your attention to others for such a rare opportunity?
The most pitiable people now may be the members of the same team. They are like little lambs that have lost their navigation.
I can't find the direction at all, and I don't even know what to do after connecting.
In fact, it is a bit exaggerated to say this. Since Wu Di left everyone behind, some people who are good at speaking and flexible have begun to actively search for chat partners.
The effect is pretty good too.
In this kind of formal gathering, as long as the guests are invited, they still pay attention to some respect between each other.
The people in your team have limited English proficiency. Everyone has known this for a long time and will not argue with you about it.
As long as we understand each other, the conversation can continue.
Although your English is not standard and your vocabulary is extremely simple, and the other person is fluent in English, even their native language, basic communication is not a problem.
Language is difficult to say and simple to say. In many cases, as long as it can convey each other's inner thoughts correctly, its mission will be fulfilled.
Of course, there must be a minority of people who can be so good at dancing, and although these few people are still working hard to make short films, this is only temporary.
Soon, we will shine in the feature film genre. Now that we have established connections, are we still worried about the future?
And more people are also silently complaining about Boss Wu in their hearts. Didn't they agree to act together and follow his orders?
What does that count now?
As for Boss Wu, if he could see the expressions on the faces of his colleagues at this moment, he would indeed restrain himself and stand up to take care of them.
But the problem is that he really can't see it, and he is facing them with the back of his head. There is no other way, you can only work hard on your own.
On Wu Di's side, the conversation with the producer became more and more speculative. From Lan Masanti, he talked about Wu Di's new work. He didn't expect that the producer in country A had actually seen this movie, and it was
Watch it in real time on the big screen in a movie theater!
Although Wu Di knew that as the domestic entertainment market grew bigger and bigger, smart businessmen from outside the region had already begun to pay attention to this land and planned to expand the territory.
Similarly, Ranmasanti returned to China for development with the same motivation.
Wu Di has always believed that returning to China to reunite with her son was only part of the main motivation that prompted Ms. Lan to return to China to open a branch, while the other part was to develop business and make big money.
This brave lady, full of fighting spirit, risked everything to go abroad for development when she was young. There is no doubt that her desire for success is very strong.
Nowadays, people are middle-aged. Although they are a little older, they are still at their peak when it comes to career.
She has developed comprehensively in all aspects, and as a Chinese, she can smell the smell of money better, so she hurriedly returned to the country when she got the opportunity.
