In mid-July, Tang An came to China Film Studio again with the finished film in post-production, leaving behind a backup copy.
Then I found a cheap house in the 5th Ring Road. After some hard work, the landlord agreed to pay the rent one by one, and the rent could be settled every month.
The room was equipped with beds and tables, as well as gas tanks and gas stoves. Tang An had some toiletries in his backpack, so he went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some food and made himself a "summer" lunch.
Tomato and egg soup, fried meat with green pepper, homemade tofu, and fried saury.
Fortunately, food was still very cheap at this time. This nutritious lunch including meat, eggs, vegetables, soy products, and fish only cost less than 10 yuan.
Tang An, who had been eating fast food for more than half a month, eliminated three big-name celebrities in five minutes. If he hadn't left some food for dinner, he would have licked his plate clean.
I also left some green peppers to stir-fry the meat and tofu. I filled a basin of well water and put the plate in to prevent it from going bad.
The movie is released at the end of September, and there are still two months left. Tang An has time to go abroad to participate in a film festival called "Gold Plating".
Recalling the 15 international A-class film festivals, the only ones held in August and September are the Venice International Film Festival in Italy, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic, the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain, and the Montreal International Film Festival in Canada.
Festival, Switzerland’s Locarno International Film Festival.
The first one is eliminated first. Although the names of the three majors are famous, they focus too much on artistry, and they are not very sure of being shortlisted.
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic can only have two entries from each country and region. In China, China Film must come forward to register, otherwise it will not respect the overall situation and undermine unity, and it will be passed.
After much deliberation, we finally decided on the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. After all, few people in the country have heard of the Swiss film festival. The Montreal International Film Festival is mainly a trading platform, which is very important to Tang An.
It's of no use, after all, the overseas copyright has nothing to do with him.
However, eggs cannot be put in one basket, so Tang An decided to submit to all three film festivals at once, and it would be best to participate in the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain.
While waiting for the news, Tang An also took a good rest.
More than a month of continuous shooting, half a month of editing, and more than half a month of special effects production were a bit too much for his still young body.
But he didn't go out for a vacation. After all, he was poor. Spain, Switzerland, and Canada were all far away, and round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation were also a huge expense.
Originally, he only had 4,000 yuan left, and after paying two months' rent, he spent 600 yuan at once.
Now I have just over 3,000 points left, which I saved through frugality.
Fortunately, 3,000 yuan is enough to buy two tickets, otherwise I would have looked at the sky and cried.
However, just in case, Tang An still found a temporary job nearby to prevent himself from starving to death.
At the end of August, Tang An received replies from the Montreal International Film Festival in Canada and the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. After some consideration, he finally chose to go to Spain.
Next, Tang An called several airlines and finally bought two cheaper round-trip tickets on a low-cost airline.
As the name suggests, low-cost airline tickets are much cheaper than other air tickets, but they will charge for baggage, meals and water on the plane, and even blankets.
In other words, everything on the plane has to be purchased extra, and the seats are more crowded.
Two tickets, adding up to 2,000 yuan, and most of the deposit disappeared.
Of course you have to bring the heroine with you when you go to the film festival. After confirming the time, Tang An took out his cell phone and called Xu Ruoyun.
The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and a surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello."
"Xu..."
"Ruoyun, how are you doing lately?" Tang An asked with concern, hearing the obvious tiredness in her tone.
"I'm okay, it's just that it's Mi Mi's turn to play recently, so I'm a little busy!"
Xu Ruoyun waited for more than two months, originally thinking that Tang An would not contact her again, but when she suddenly received a call, she was a little excited.
"You... why did you call me suddenly? What's the matter?"
Tang An is not an emotional idiot. He can't understand what's going on when he hears the little daughter-like words on the phone.
It seems that Xu Ruoyun has some interest in her, and it is not just a mere friend relationship.
It was a bit embarrassing now. He thought Xu Ruoyun was depressed at the time and drank some wine just to vent his anger.
After all, he was the only man at that time, so he couldn't let her go to Yang Mi.
"It's like this. I don't have Mr. Li's phone number. Please help me tell Mr. Li that "Shark Beach" was shortlisted for the Best Feature Film and Audience Choice Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain. I want Yang Mi to come with me."
It's inconvenient to go to the film festival and ask Mr. Li!" Tang An said bravely.
One good thing about foreign film festivals is that they don't care whether you are famous or not, as long as the film suits your taste, you will be nominated.
That’s why later on many actors whom I didn’t know at all won “international awards”.
In fact, it is useless. It only lasts for about a month and cools down after frying.
"Oh, that's right!"
Xu Ruoyun on the other end of the phone was a little disappointed, but then smiled and said, "Okay, I will talk to Mr. Li later and call you back later."
"Well, good!"
The two were silent for a moment, and Tang An felt that he should say something, otherwise he would become a ruthless and ruthless "scum".
"Well, I've been busy with the movie recently. Now the post-production special effects have been completed and it's scheduled to be released on National Day."
We chatted for five or six minutes, until Xu Ruoyun seemed to have someone calling her, so she hung up the phone.
well!
For one and a half months, during the filming period, Tang An did not move at all when faced with Yang Mi, a future big star.
With his image and ability, it would be easy for him to win over a 17-year-old girl.
But Tang An didn't. He didn't have time to fall in love with a little girl, and it would also affect Yang Mi's condition.
How can a girl in love perfectly interpret that state of fear?
It would be even worse if someone ignores you after sex!
...
It was not until two hours later that Tang An received a call and told Xu Ruoyun the time and flight.
The next step is to prepare clothes. You can’t go wearing a T-shirt, jeans and a jacket.
However, he couldn't afford a famous brand suit, so Tang An had a suit custom-made in a nearby shop.
It was opened by an old man, who was said to be a senior worker in a former garment factory.
Purely handmade, high quality and low price, a three-piece set only costs over 100 yuan.
I bought a pair of leather shoes at the vegetable market. The style is not too old, but they are definitely sturdy.
You can only look stylish without a brand, Versace, Armani, Gucci, etc. are all too vulgar!

I haven't been in a good state these past two days. I seem to be a little tired. I ended up writing two chapters instead of one chapter. I'm sorry...
Please bookmark and vote for recommendations. Tomorrow is a new week. I hope it will have a good ranking on the new book list and increase its exposure!
