Chapter 167: The Monthly Ticket for the Award, which is not favored)
"Lu Yuan is coming?"
"right!"
"Hurry up, he's going to walk on the red carpet!"
"Where's the camera? Why haven't you given the camera to Lu Yuan? Stop shooting Thomson and start shooting Lu Yuan."
"Hey! Why don't you have a camera yet?"
"We have a lens, um, why is the lens so short?"
"Wait a minute, who is the goddess holding Lu Yuan's hand? Wow, I feel like I'm in love."
"Me too. Why do my eyes automatically ignore Lu Yuan even though today's protagonist is Lu Yuan?"
"I can't stand any girl, let alone you."
"This girl is so beautiful. Where did Lu Yuan find the model? This is really a plus, isn't it?"
"..."
The Spanish Grand Theater is brilliant at night.
Countless international superstars competed under the red carpet, and countless peripheral fans screamed with excitement.
This is a noisy and lively world.
Lu Yuan has participated in such a ceremony, but he is still not used to such an environment.
He always felt that such an environment was too noisy.
But the only thing that made Lu Yuan feel comfortable was that no reporters suddenly came over to ask questions, and there were no fans screaming for him.
This is sad for others, but very comfortable for Lu Yuan.
There are advantages to not having anyone paying attention, right?
Lu Yuan is somewhat popular in China, but his reputation is really limited abroad, especially at movie events like this where big names gather. Moreover, Lu Yuan is Chinese. Although Chinese people will always attend such events, it is extremely difficult to actually win the award.
Even the six nominations for Lu Yuan's "Buried Alive" are not surprising in the eyes of other reporters.
Have Chinese films received few nominations before? But how many have actually won?
Totally one of the few!
The red carpet slowly rolled out and unknown music slowly played.
When the camera and lights shone on Lu Yuan, Wang Jinxue took the initiative to hold Lu Yuan's hand, and her previously indifferent expression suddenly turned into a smile.
The light gradually turned soft. A gust of wind blew by, blowing up Wang Jinxue's long skirt as white as snow. Her tall figure took slow steps. Every movement was so elegant and impeccable, without heavy makeup.
But her beautiful appearance coupled with her noble temperament instantly overshadowed all the models around her.
At this moment, everyone present looked at Wang Jinxue. At this glance, they found that they could not move their eyes.
"Click, click, click!"
Because of Wang Jinxue's relationship, when Lu Yuan walked on the red carpet, countless photos and cameras lingered around Lu Yuan.
In the distance, countless people were discussing who this tall oriental goddess was, and how this Chinese boy invited this oriental goddess to accompany him on the red carpet...
Then, they stared at Lu Yuan jealously.
They had an inexplicable feeling that Lu Yuan was the winner in life.
…………………………
Wang Jinxue undoubtedly helped Lu Yuan gain face on the red carpet.
After walking off the red carpet, the smile on Wang Jinxue's face instantly disappeared, and she just walked towards her seat with Lu Yuan calmly.
He still looked like he didn't want to pay attention to Lu Yuan.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.
Lu Yuan feels that the people around him have very good acting skills. Although his acting skills are also quite good, he still needs to improve.
Lu Yuan didn't care that Wang Jinxue ignored him.
He has never been a very comforting person.
The organizers of the Spanish Goya Prize were quite enthusiastic. When they saw Lu Yuan coming, they immediately asked about Lu Yuan's name and works and checked Lu Yuan's invitation letter. Then they bent down and respectfully brought Lu Yuan to their place.
It was different from what was described in the movie, at least there was no bullshit plot where the organizer looked down on the protagonist, and then the protagonist got angry and slapped him in the face with a prize.
Although Chinese directors and actors come to Spain for the Goya Awards and always come back empty-handed, and even in the past two years no director has come to Spain to be nominated for an award, the staff still treats Lu Yuan and others equally.
Of course, Lu Yuan's seat is not very far forward, but slightly in the corner of the fifth row.
There is nothing to be picky about. There are many international superstars and directors who came to attend the award ceremony. Lu Yuan, a rookie who has never even made a movie worth tens of millions of dollars, is really not a big figure here. If we really want to line up,
He is also one of the newbies at the bottom...
Very realistic.
Of course, Lu Yuan is also very self-aware. In fact, he came here not thinking about winning any awards. At most, he just wanted to brush up on his international presence and come to Spain for a trip. As for the question of whether the air tickets can be reimbursed, Lu Yuan
I won't be confused anymore.
Now that I have more or less money, I still need to pay for the air ticket?
"Lu Yuan..."
"Um?"
"The director in front is Carl, who shot the "Lightning Demon" series, and the other one is Jackson Jr., the director of "Tough Guys". The director sitting next to him is named Andor, who filmed "The Castle Princess"..." Wang Jinxue slowly said
He introduced the directors to Lu Yuan. Every time he introduced a director, he would speak out the director's resume very skillfully, analyzing it with Lu Yuan in detail like Baidu Encyclopedia.
"Then what?"
"I printed some Spanish and English business cards for you. It's still about half an hour before the awards ceremony. If you want, we can actually go and get familiar with those directors... Although you are in the director's field
You are just starting out, but I think these
The director should have an impression of you. After all, you have won awards at the previous Venice Film Festival, and this time you have six nominations for Spanish Goya. You definitely have the capital to make them take you seriously... So, do you want to go there?" Wang Jinxue said.
He took out two sets of business cards and placed them next to Lu Yuan to look at Lu Yuan.
"No." Lu Yuan looked at the countless people in front of the great directors and shook his head.
He doesn't like to join in the fun.
"Oh, okay." Wang Jinxue put away the business card and nodded. She did not feel any disappointment or discomfort.
In her opinion, it was normal that Lu Yuan would not pass.
After all, she felt that deep down Lu Yuan was an extremely proud genius.
Geniuses who are extremely proud are generally unlikely to take the initiative to say hello to anyone else.
These are common problems among geniuses.
She just thought this was a good opportunity to get acquainted with each other. After all, she didn't have much hope for this trip to Spain.
Many famous Chinese directors have failed here, Lu Yuan...
Well, at least it seems to her that there is really little hope now.
When everyone at the venue gradually arrived, the lights dimmed slightly, and then the noisy venue suddenly turned silent.
When the lights came on again, a piano appeared on the stage, and then Lu Yuan saw an old man in a tuxedo sitting in front of the piano, playing a piano piece he had never heard before very skillfully.
Everyone in the audience looked at the old man on the stage, and everyone appreciated this beautiful melody.
Wang Jinxue laughed.
There is a slight sense of nostalgia.
This is her teacher Brando, a piano expert known as one of the top ten pianists in the world.
Many memories came to her mind...
His talent, his severity, his meticulousness...
To be honest, she really felt it was a pity. If Lu Yuan could meet her teacher and the two creative geniuses, one old and one young, collide, maybe some incredible sparks would really come out of the collision.
Moreover, Brando is no longer young, and his physical condition is not very good. He may not have many years to live...
Wouldn't it be a pity if Brando disappeared?
When she thought of this, she looked back at Lu Yuan.
Then she saw Lu Yuan yawning and looking drowsy!
Her expression changed.
He couldn't help but pinched Lu Yuan's waist hard.
"Holding the grass, it hurts, what are you doing..." Lu Yuan almost screamed when he felt the pain. He held back the pain and looked at Wang Jinxue.
What is Wang Jinxue doing?
"This is my teacher's masterpiece, what do you think?"
"Oh, it's good, it's good, then um?"
"Lu Yuan, can you listen more carefully?"
"I listened carefully, very seriously."
"Are you serious about this?"
"Why am I not serious anymore?"
"..."
Lu Yuan was speechless.
He used to think that bringing Wang Jinxue here was the right decision and he could save a lot of money, but now he found that it was actually a mistake.
Is there a problem if I just yawn?
Why don't you listen carefully?
Wang Jinxue was silent for a while, then looked at the stage.
"Are you really not going to meet the teacher? Maybe you will regret not meeting the teacher this time. The teacher's health is not as good as before..."
"If we really meet, we will have regrets. It's better not to meet."
"What's the meaning?"
"Literally."
Lu Yuan looked at the stage and at the old man playing the piano seriously and looking meticulous under the lights.
His eyes gradually became calm.
Others are masters, but what about yourself? What are you?
Lu Yuan asked back, but there was no answer.
Wang Jinxue felt that Lu Yuan's eyes were very deep, as if there were some other stories hidden there.
It seems that he has his own reasons.
Maybe, this is life.
There are always so many regrets and imperfections in life.
Cherishing the moment is the best.
At this moment, Wang Jinxue suddenly realized something, and her eyes looking at Lu Yuan were much softer than before.
"Does it hurt?"
"It must hurt. How about I try it for you to see if it hurts?"
"good."
"..."
……………………
"The award ceremony has finally begun! Why does the host talk so much?"
"The host naturally wants to show off his presence for a while."
"By the way, we have six nominations, how many can Lu Yuan win? Isn't it like the previous years that he came away empty-handed?"
"The probability is very high. In fact, this kind of live broadcast is not interesting. Haven't you seen that domestic entertainment newspapers rarely report on this award ceremony? Don't everyone pay attention to this award ceremony?"
"Why?"
"Because it is impossible to win awards. Ten years ago, when our Chinese directors attended the Spanish awards ceremony for the first time, it was quite lively. But in the past ten years, we have been accompanying them, and we participate every few years.
I just ran with you once, and after running with you many times, everyone got used to it... apart from winning some small prizes, what else is there? Moreover, the directors participating in the Goya Awards this time are extremely competitive. Lu Yuan is here
This place is really too small, I probably have to run around and vomit blood..."
"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little sad."
"Who is not sad? Just get used to it... After all, it is a long way for our Chinese films to go abroad."
"Um...right."
"The Best Screenplay Award has begun to be announced..."
