"Anything is fine." Lin Juan replied with a smile.
It doesn't matter how many awards he got, if Li Lan hadn't asked him to come out, he wouldn't have wanted to come.
Rather than winning two awards, he would rather stay at home and polish the script or have a date with Han Xiaoxue.
He never seemed to care about this stuff.
He always feels that he has gained a lot.
Very satisfied.
He believes that people who are too greedy will be punished.
"Director Lin is so generous~ Common people like us can't compare to you at the box office, so we just point to winning some awards to comfort ourselves." Feng Gang said with a smile.
Lin Juan smiled and said calmly: "At Director Feng's age and status, he probably doesn't care about box office anymore. His artistic pursuits are higher than mine."
Feng Gang was stunned for a moment, he doesn’t care about the box office? Your boy Tama is the first person to say that I don’t care about the box office!
Have a vision!
He bit the bullet and pretended to be cool: "Hey, I'm older, and I've made enough money. I'm no younger than you. Now, I just want to pursue a little bit of art. There's no limit to art."
Lin Juan smiled and nodded, you are right.
Feng Gang became interested and continued: "But Director Xiaolin, you have a very good attitude. Commercial films like yours will have higher box office, but as for the awards, they won't please the judges very much. Just calm down this time."
Lin Juan continued to smile and nodded.
"You are only twenty-six years old, and you have achieved so much. Are your parents very proud? Your father should be about the same age as me. Anyway, if you were my son, then I would definitely be very proud."
Lin Juan smiled politely and said, "It's okay, they are quite happy."
Zhang Shan turned his head and suppressed a smile. He was probably the only one present who could tell that Lin Juan was feeling uncomfortable. He was usually such a quiet person, but now he was troubled by a talkative person...
Seeing Lin Juan so uncomfortable...
He is so happy!
Feng Gang was still going on. It was a rare occasion for him to show off his seniority in front of Lin Juan. It felt so good.
"Hey, Director Xiaolin, tell me how many awards you expect to win this time? Although the award rate for commercial films has never been high, young people should not be so unscrupulous and become older than me.
By the way, have you seen my new movie "Youth"? What do you think of Director Xiao Lin?" Feng Gang said with a smile.
Although the box office of "Youth" is not as good as "The Monkey King", it has performed well in domestic and foreign awards, and its box office of 1.3 billion is not bad.
Feng Gang has finally turned around.
"I'm sorry, Director Feng, I was a little busy during that time..."
Lin Juan was pestered by Feng Gang and chatted with him all the time until the film festival officially opened and the host came on stage. Feng Gang had a good time talking.
Lin Juan breathed a sigh of relief after Feng Gang sat down.
Just now, he just felt like a crazy man who kept pestering you...
People with a calm personality are most uncomfortable with such awkward conversations with strangers.
To be honest, Lin Juan felt helpless.
One of the reasons why he doesn't participate in those activities is that there will be a lot of people coming to talk to him, most of them are utilitarian, and some of them want to talk awkwardly, trying to rely on their old skills to suppress you and make you bow your head and respect them.
Or he may be jealous and slander you.
It's really boring.
The opening ceremony was also very boring. This leader or that chairman came to give a speech. Lin Juan's consciousness simply sank into the system, and he appeared on a beach that seemed to be paved with gold.
The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, with white clouds blooming.
The sea was crystal clear. He left footprints on the beach and plunged into the water.
The world is quiet.
The cold seawater enveloped him, moisturized his skin, and the seabed was vast and full of life.
He closed his eyes and sank in there for a long time.
The atmosphere at the opening ceremony was calm.
Finally, when the opening movie was played, the people below got some energy.
"Monkey King"!
The large-scale special effects, the explosive performances of the leading actors, and the sharp and superb use of the camera made many people in the industry who had never seen the movie watch it with rapt attention and even couldn't help but get excited.
The story is not complicated, but the characters are well-established and impressive. The scenes of several battles are well-made, and there are also Easter eggs for the important character Xing Ye and the final captain.
This is a very qualified commercial film, and there are several interesting scenes, such as the scene where Su Zi comes out of the zoo, and the scene where Zhang Shan cannot pick up the golden hoop, etc., all of which have profound meanings and metaphors.
After the film ended, everyone applauded, which also announced the official start of the 22nd Tianhai Film Festival, and everyone could start to move around freely.
Suddenly, countless people flocked to Lin Juan...
…
"Director Lin, can I have a movie with you? I like your movies very much."
"Hello, Director Lin, this is Jingran. The movie just now was great."
"Hello Director Lin, I finally meet you. I admire you very much. Can you sign your autograph for me?
“…””
"Director Lin, I am the project manager of Jinchen Pictures. I wonder if Director Lin has any ideas for looking for investment?"
"Hello Director Lin, I am from Wufang Pictures..."
"..."
"Director Lin, when are you going to shoot the sequels to "Captain of China" and "The Monkey King"?"
To be honest, in the history of Chinese directors, there has never been a director who dug holes so frantically and then didn't bury them...
He digs one, ignores it, runs to dig out the other, and makes the movie fans ecstasy.
"Director Lin, are you planning to shoot your next movie in Europe and the United States?"
"Director Lin, what are your expectations for the box office of your next movie? Can it surpass "The Monkey King"?"
"Director Lin, who among the domestic actresses would you most like to work with?"
"What do you think of Zhang Shan?"
"..."
"In a few years."
"uncertain."
“No expectations.”
"Right now, what I think about most is Teacher Cai Ming."
"..."
The reporters looked at each other, are you serious?
…
"Xiaojuan, how are you?"
As soon as Lin Juan returned to Chenguang, he received a call from Li Lan. Lin Juan smiled bitterly and said, "Tired."
At the end of the day, he felt that he had been ravaged in all directions. Many people came to greet him, flatter him, and want to get something from him...
He doesn't like this feeling.
"You have to show up from time to time, otherwise it's not a good thing to be too unsocial." Li Lan said seriously.
Lin Juan understood what she meant. If you were too unsocial, you would be isolated and attract hostility.
Human beings are never allowed to be independent. If you are a Luthor, no problem, no one cares about you, but if you perform well and still act like that, there are countless people who want to drag you down.
Unless you can be like a god, never fail once, always on top conquering everyone and being worshiped by others.
"I know, Aunt Lan." Lin Juan smiled. He didn't necessarily want to be independent, but he just really didn't like that kind of utilitarian situation. He didn't mind making friends if they could talk.
"Well, that's good. You can take a good rest for a few days and wait until the awards ceremony. We'll take care of the rest."
"Okay, thank you Aunt Lan."
"It's okay, this is also a good opportunity. After the opening ceremony, film producers from many countries have come to us to talk about the copyrights of "The Monkey King" and "Captain China", and even "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "Going Home".
People are paying attention again. You will become more and more famous in the future, and these movies will spread all over the world."
"Yeah." Lin Juan smiled happily for the first time.
It's always gratifying when people like your movies.
