Become a star after debuting from a romance show

The so-called "independent film" concept is to get rid of capital, raise funds by itself, and even write, direct and shoot films that are different from commercial films and have a stronger ideological quality.

Most of the films shortlisted for the independent film festival were shot at a low cost, and every year at the independent film festival, there are some low-budget films that will shine.

Luo Jingchuan and Pang Bo's level and appreciation ability are naturally very recognized in their circles. Seeing that the two strongly recommended "The Night When the Comet Came", some of the invited directors also became interested.

Someone knew more about the films being screened: "I remember it was a pretty young director, his name was Yan Ran, right?"

Others echoed: "I remembered, if you fall in love with the next celebrity, you also have a CP, right? Young people are quite good at it."

Luo Jingchuan frowned slightly. He heard a strong disdain from this man's words. Although he felt unhappy, prejudice was everywhere. He would not offend people for Yan Ran and Xu Rui, so he just pretended not to listen. arrive.

Pang Bo also stopped clicking and said with a smile: "Although we are not judges, we are here. Go and have a look when you have time. We won't waste time."

Someone was very considerate to Pang Bo: "Okay, you said so, wait and see if I can spare the time."

There are only two or three screening opportunities for a film at the film festival. After all, these people will most likely not have time to go.

Xu Rui and Yan Ran never thought that Luo Jingchuan and Pang Bo would recommend their movie. They didn't know, so naturally they couldn't talk about expectations or disappointment. Just like they didn't know that during the screening, several domestic video platforms sent people to attend the screening. to evaluate.

Geng Shu, a senior film critic, graduated from a well-known domestic drama academy with a double major in directing and a minor in literature. He was not very successful as a director, but as a film critic, he is somewhat famous, but because he has relatively low qualifications in the circle of film critics. Qian, I have no chance to serve as a judge for this film festival.

In addition to doing film reviews, he also cooperates with Seal Platform to help select domestic and foreign independent films worthy of introduction, as well as young domestic directors with potential that deserve support.

He has read countless low-budget suspense films over the years. In recent years, there are few that have impressed him as much as "The Night the Comet Came". Just now on the set, he felt that his brain was really overclocking. If reality could Like in some movies, he is willing to spend the money to upgrade the CPU of his brain.

As soon as he left the venue, he called Seal's director of independent film acquisitions.

The other party answered the question very quickly. After working together for so long, we are familiar with each other, and the conversation was relatively relaxed: "What, have you finished watching the movie? What did you gain from going to Reddance today?"

Geng Shu got straight to the point: "Of course there is something to gain. I am just calling you to recommend a movie to you."

If this was a private matter, the supervisor at Seal Platform would like to ask if this movie is about riding a horse, but as he was talking about business, he immediately asked: "It's only the first day, how many movies have you watched? This one is worthy of your recommendation. movie?”

According to the process, Geng Shu will make a brief review of all the films he has watched, and attach a scoring form and submit it to the Seal Platform. The platform will then select the ones suitable for introduction and make an offer to the other party based on the film's content, market expectations and awards.

Now Geng Shu has omitted this process and took the initiative to call and recommend the movie before the first day was over, which shows that the quality of the movie has been fully approved by him.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished asking, Geng Shu said: "Well, it's called "The Night When the Comet Comes" and the director is Yan Ran. Has she talked to you about online copyrights before?"

When mentioning Yan Ran, the supervisor naturally remembered: "That's right. We discussed the price before and decided to wait until the film festival selection results come out. Do you mean that this film is excellent and can win an award?"

Geng Shu said: "I dare not say that there are too many. There must be quality above eight points. Unless there is a blowout of masterpieces at this film festival, the probability of winning the award is very high. Coupled with the popularity of Yan Ran and Xu Rui, after that, There will definitely be platforms grabbing online copyrights.”

When the supervisor of Seal Platform heard this, he said domineeringly: "Rob? It's more money than money. Who has our Seal Platform ever dared to intimidate?"

Geng Shu refused to argue with him: "Yes, yes, anyway, I reminded you."

"Received." After hanging up the phone, the supervisor thought for a while and immediately asked someone to contact Yan Ran. Because the negotiation had not entered the substantive stage, they did not watch the film. Although they believed in Geng Shu's vision, if they wanted to make a quotation, He also wants to try it out internally first.

I contacted Yanran several times but didn't get through. This made Seal's supervisor a little worried. He couldn't be chatting with other platforms.

In fact, Yan Ran turned off the sound and was participating in a film forum, listening to the great directors on the stage sharing their experiences.

It was already dark when she heard the call after listening to the speech. When she called back, she realized the whole story. Since the film had already been screened at the film festival, there was no need to worry about it being leaked if it was submitted to the video platform for review. She readily agreed.

After she finished chatting, Xu Rui asked: "Who is it?"

Yan Ran explained: "Seal Platform asked me for the source of the film. It seems that they are preparing to formally discuss the copyright of the online broadcast."

"It seems like some of them saw the screening today."

"Um."

Xu Rui then held up the mineral water bottle in his hand and handed it to Yan Ran's mouth: "Here, let's do an interview. Your first directorial film was screened at the Reddance Independent Film Festival. What do you think?"

Yan Ran smiled and said: "Of course I am excited, it feels like a dream come true."

"Is it the most important and unforgettable first time in your life?"

"Of course..." Yan Ran realized Xu Rui's trap and bad intentions halfway through her words. She looked left and right, reached out and hit him, and whispered, "Did you mean it to be annoying?"

Xu Rui acted as if he hadn't heard and asked, "You haven't answered yet."

Yan Ran rolled her eyes at him: "Of course not."

"So which time was it?"

"If you ask questions knowingly, I'll beat you up if I ask again!"

"So fierce!"

The two of them bickered quietly, came to the parking lot, sat in, started the car and drove out of the parking space, then felt as if they had forgotten something.

Xu Rui braked, looked at Yan Ran, then slowly turned his head, staring blankly at the empty back seat.

"Where's Du Xiaoren?" Xu Rui asked.

"...She went to the bathroom and asked us to wait for her." Yan Ran covered her face, then patted Xu Rui next to her, "It's all your fault!"

Xu Rui teased her cheerfully: "Why do you blame me? Li Chuanping says every day that I forget my love for sex. I found that you value sex more than my friends."

These words were a bit heartbreaking, and Yan Ran quickly retorted: "I didn't, so don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang. It was Du Xiao. The call was connected. It was not a public broadcast. Xu Rui could faintly hear the voice coming from the receiver: "I just went to the toilet, where are you!!" !”

"Xu Rui and I went to buy a bottle of water. We are waiting for you here in the parking lot. Come quickly." Yan Ran finished speaking without blushing and out of breath. After hanging up the phone, she urged Xu Rui, "Hurry up. Go back, don’t let her see it!”
