Choose a day to become famous

At the subsequent media meeting, Lu Yanhe, Huang Feng, Huang Tianlin, producer Yuan Hai, Qin Shulan who played the role of the mother, and Han Yujiang who played the female neighbor who had a relationship with the brother in the movie, all attended.

Lu Yanhe was the only well-known actor in the crew, so he naturally received the most questions from the media.

The film was well received by the media.

Because it is simple enough, yet has enough rich details for everyone to savor.

Often, when people judge whether a movie is good or not, they think that at the moment when the movie ends, they will feel an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

Whether it's the belief that the world has become a better place, or a sharp sense of having seen through the truth, or the feeling of returning to a certain stage in your life and having your heart torn open.

When this moment comes, what others say doesn’t really matter.

Of course, not every movie is suitable for this, but "Rainy Season" is undoubtedly very suitable.

In the movie, Lu Yanhe's role suddenly became the main character. Of course, it was definitely not as much as Huang Feng's, but it was definitely no longer just a label role.

Some media asked questions about this.

Huang Tianlin replied: "It was not like this in the original script. However, during editing, I gradually realized that I wanted the film to be as simple as possible, and to reduce as many elements and information as possible. So, in fact, we originally shot a lot of plots after my brother left home, but I didn't put them in the film."

"Is this because you want to highlight Lu Yanhe as much as possible?"

"No." Huang Tianlin shook his head. "Until last night, he still thought he was just a supporting role. In fact, he only filmed with our crew for less than ten days. However, his performance exceeded my expectations, and unexpectedly matched my later ideas for the film. Therefore, his role was retained to the greatest extent, and only a few scenes with Han were deleted."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"Why was this part cut?" some media asked.

Huang Tianlin answered: "Because I hope to reduce the sexual desire of the brother's image and highlight his own confusion and contradictions."

The media also asked Lu Yanhe: "Why did you decide to participate in this movie?"

"Because I had made a lot of commercial films at that time, as an actor, I was a little tired of it, so I wanted to find a film that could focus on the inner world of the characters and the emotional relationships between people. It just so happened that the theme of this film was family love, which I had never filmed before. The script did not cater to current hot topics and concepts, but was more like a description of family relationships in the last century, which moved me very much."

"We heard that your relationship with the director was a little difficult at the beginning?" A media outlet asked with a smile, "Can you tell us about it?"

Lu Yanhe and Huang Tianlin looked at each other.

Lu Yanhe handed it to Huang Tianlin and motioned for him to speak.

Huang Tianlin thought for a moment and said, "This is my fault. I am just a small director with no fame, but he is a big star in the film industry. I was very worried that such a big star would play a supporting role for some other purpose. Otherwise, why would he want to play a supporting role——"

Everyone at the scene laughed.

Lu Yanhe also smiled and made a helpless gesture.

"I am very grateful to him." Huang Tianlin said, "When I deliberately angered him and wanted to force him to leave my film, he told me his thoughts very frankly and forgave me very considerately for my rude offense to him. He really has the tolerance of a great actor. Moreover, during the subsequent filming, he did not act like a star at all. I mean, he did not receive any special treatment in terms of food, clothing, housing, and transportation. So, I still wonder why he wanted to play a supporting role?"

Lu Yanhe: "Oh, you see, I acted well enough, so you didn't want to cut my scenes, so I became the protagonist."

The whole audience burst into laughter.

"Let's get back to the point. I am willing to play supporting roles. This is due to my first film, "Three Mountains", in which I only made a cameo appearance for one night. In the film, I only had ten minutes of screen time, but fortunately, with that one scene, I was recognized by the whole world at the West Tur Film Festival." Lu Yanhe said, "So, I know very well that the number of roles, the main role or the supporting role, will not affect an actor's presence. In this film, whether it is Teacher Qin Shulan who plays my mother, or Han Yujiang who has a secret relationship with me, you can see how outstanding they are. I want to be an actor who can be remembered even if I only have one shot."

Applause broke out.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to say that I welcome directors from all over the world to send me scripts, whether it's the leading role or the supporting role, as long as it touches me, the pay and the distance are not a problem," said Lu Yanhe.

-

The response and evaluation of "Tropical Rainy Season" in Xitul were so high that they even surpassed "Raise the Red Lantern".

Especially the media reviews -

Obviously, although "Raise the Red Lantern" is full of critical spirit and has high artistic value, in terms of the theme of the film itself, "Tropical Rainy Season" is more acceptable.

According to the program notes, "Tropical Rain Season" ranked third among the films screened, with a score of 3.1.

The media all say that this year, Xitul has ushered in its big year.

So far, one-third of the films in the main competition unit have not yet been screened.

Lu Yanhe was helpless.

It seems that it will be quite difficult for "Raise the Red Lantern" to compete for the highest award this year. It depends on the taste of the judges and what role Liu Bige can play in the jury.

The trip to Xitul ended and Lu Yanhe set off to return home.

All the members of the "Tropical Rainy Season" crew also returned.

Wang Zhong stayed in Xitul.

Five days later, the Sitol Film Festival closed.

If there is a prize, the film festival will recall the crew.

"Besides, we're going to hire him for five more days at once? That's six days including the time we have to go back. The pressure on the crew will be so great that everyone will want to make vampires for me." Chen Bige rolled his eyes. "People should know themselves."

-

Both of Lu Yanhe's films were rated above 3 points in the program guides, and both are highly likely to win awards this year. This is actually a rare result, and when it was reported back to China, everyone's reaction became commonplace. They felt that if it was Lu Yanhe, then it was normal.

However, four days later, Lu Yanhe suddenly received a call from Huang Tianlin.

Huang Tianlin said that the Xitul Film Festival recalled the crew of "Tropical Rain Season".

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yanhe received a call from Wintour Robbe, the artistic director of the film festival.

"Lu, I hope you can come to the closing ceremony with the crew."

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Lu Yanhe was not surprised that "Tropical Rainy Season" won the award and was recalled.

However, Wintour Robey called him specifically and invited him to attend the closing ceremony.

this--

Could it be——

Lu Yanhe's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

No way?

Lu Yanhe said, "Mr. Luo Bei, I'm actually on the crew. I came here a few days ago and have already asked for leave from the crew. It should be okay for Director Huang Tianlin to go back on behalf of the crew, right?"

He was testing.

Wintour Robe said: "Lu, if possible, you should try to come back and participate this time."

Lu Yanhe understood.

At this moment, he felt quite calm and didn't feel anything.

"I understand. I'll talk to the crew and see if we can coordinate it." Lu Yanhe said, and then he said, "Thank you, Mr. Robbe."

"Lu, you are an actor known to the whole world from our Xitul, and we hope to share every key glorious moment with you in the future."

-

"You must take this leave!" Chen Ziyan went straight to the crew of "The Seventeenth Floor". "I have asked them to book your ticket. The flight will be at 11 pm. You will have to change planes in the middle, but this will ensure that you will arrive in Xitul three hours before the closing ceremony."

Lu Yanhe: "Unbelievable, not what I expected at all."

"Huang Tianlin finally did a good thing." Chen Ziyan did not hide her joy at all, even her hair was full of joy and excitement, "In the end, you became the leading actor of this movie."

Lu Yanhe: "I took advantage."

"He took advantage of you." Chen Ziyan said immediately, "No wonder Xitul paid attention to this movie and immediately selected it for the main competition unit. Generally speaking, a director's work must start from other units first."

For many directors, if their works are shortlisted for the Citour Film Festival for the first time, they are usually selected in other competition units rather than the main competition right away.

At that time, Chen Ziyan felt that Huang Tianlin's directorial debut received rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival and was also well-known in Europe and the United States, so the West Tour Film Festival directly selected "Tropical Rain Season" into the main competition. Now it seems that Chen Ziyan would never believe that it had nothing to do with Lu Yanhe's performance.

——You are an actor known to the whole world from our Xitul, and we hope to share every key glorious moment with you in the future.

Wintour Robbe's words clearly mean something.

Although it is more likely that he said this deliberately after he knew something, in order to get closer to Lu Yanhe at this time, and to make Lu Yanhe feel that Xitul treated him preferentially.

In any case, the fact that people are willing to say such things to Lu Yanhe shows that Lu Yanhe is different in their eyes.

-

However, unlike Lu Yanhe who was not among the candidates for this year's Best Actor, Chen Bige did not receive an invitation to be recalled.

The crew of "Raise the Red Lantern" received it, but Chen Bige herself did not.

For this reason, Lu Yanhe actually felt quite embarrassed deep down in his heart.

He asked for leave from the crew and did not say that he had received a separate recall call from the art director. He only said that both films had been recalled, so he still had to go.

Of course the crew agreed.

No one else noticed anything, only Chen Bige was very perceptive and asked privately: "Are you going to hold a celebration party after coming back?"

Lu Yanhe said: "If so, can you help me open it?"

Chen Bige smiled generously and nodded, "Okay, I'll organize it."

Lu Yanhe finished work at eight o'clock in the evening and rushed to the airport to catch his flight.

I traveled all the way, rushing around, not daring to delay for a moment.

Finally, Lu Yanhe arrived in Xitul an hour before the closing ceremony.

It was still two hours later than the estimated arrival time.

He arrived at the scene exhausted and didn't even have time to do any styling.

In the car that came to pick him up, he changed into a suit and simply fixed his hair.

Wang Biao was almost going crazy.

Today, Lu Yanhe is very likely to go on stage to receive the most important Best Actor award in his life. Wang Biao does not want this moment to leave behind an unclean and inappropriate image of Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe himself felt that it was okay.

Although he has dark circles under his eyes and a pimple on his forehead, he is still handsome when he looks in the mirror.

He took a deep breath.

Nervous, expectant, and afraid of disappointment——

What if I don’t win that award in the end?

Of course he knew that compared to the Best Actor award, Situl's highest award was more valuable.

But for him, at this stage, the Best Actor award is definitely more valuable.

He was really afraid that he would come here with high expectations but return with disappointment.

In the past two years, he won two major awards, the Golden Globe Award and the Best Screenplay Award at the Jose-La Mancha Film Festival. However, Lu Yanhe knew that it was not his credit. To be precise, for him, it was the Best Plagiarist Award.

Only performances—

Yes, in this world, among all the worldly achievements he has made, only two were accumulated by himself, one is the college entrance examination score, and the other is performance.

"Road to Glory" won him a domestic Best Actor award, which is also the only Best Actor award he has ever won. He has never won an international Best Actor award.

Now, it is possible to break through this zero. And it is a movie like "Tropical Rains" that no one was optimistic about from the beginning, a director who is not very famous, and a crew that has no other actor with a little international fame. For such a movie, if he can finally win an award, it will feel like not only his performance has been recognized, but also his vision has been recognized.

This feeling is a doubly proud one.

——Yes, even if the roles and scripts he chose did not meet anyone's expectations, the facts proved that his vision was right and correct!

Lu Yanhe realized that he was a little emotional, so he quickly calmed down and suppressed his excitement.

Stay calm.

It can't show too much on the face.

Fortunately, although the closing ceremony of the West Tur Film Festival will be broadcast live around the world, it will not be like those large-scale award ceremonies where a separate shot is given to the nominees when each award is presented.

Fortunately, film festivals don’t play that way.

Otherwise, Lu Yanhe felt that he might not be able to control his disappointment if he didn't win the award.

Because he really came with great hope——

This is a separate recall.

-

When Lu Yanhe walked onto the red carpet of the closing ceremony, the Chinese media at the scene all showed expressions of surprise.

This was a scene beyond their expectations.

Before this, no media had received any news that Lu Yanhe would attend the closing ceremony.

And they are all old hands. Since Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige are still filming in the "Seventeenth Floor" crew and have not returned, it means that both of them have nothing to do with the Best Actor and Best Actress awards that everyone is most concerned about.

Even though the crew of Raise the Red Lantern was recalled, director Wang Zhong confirmed that he would attend the closing ceremony, which means that Chinese films will definitely win awards. But for the general public, especially the media that caters to the general public, celebrities are definitely more attractive and have more news attention.

Especially, Chen Bige was the most popular candidate for this year's Best Actress, and her competitor was the heroine of an Iranian film. All media said that the Best Actress could only come from the two of them. But Chen Bige did not appear.

As a result, Lu Yanhe suddenly appeared now.

This scene made everyone who was watching the live broadcast of the Sitol Film Festival suddenly jump in surprise.

Everyone knows that if you appear on the red carpet at the closing ceremony, you have a good chance of winning an award.

This is an iron rule for the closing ceremonies of top international film festivals.

If Lu Yanhe didn't win a personal award, what would be worth it for him to make a special trip all the way from home?

In an instant, the news that Lu Yanhe appeared on the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the Xitul Film Festival topped the hot search list of major domestic social platforms.

-

"Among the four major international film festivals, the Xitul Film Festival has always been recognized as the highest hall of art films. Previously, Director Wang Zhong won the Best Director Award for "Three Mountains". After that, no Chinese-language film has won an award at the Xitul Film Festival. This time, Director Wang Zhong has been shortlisted for the main competition unit again with "Raise the Red Lantern" written by Lu Yanhe and starring Chen Bige. It is very likely to win again. Let us wait for good news."

The movie channel temporarily inserted such a live news.

Or during the commercial breaks between movies.

After two commercials, the movie channel inserted another news segment.

It’s the same host as before.

"Just now, Chinese filmmaker Lu Yanhe walked on the red carpet of the closing ceremony of the Xitul Film Festival. He has two starring works shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Xitul Film Festival. One is "Raise the Red Lantern" directed by Wang Zhong and written by him, and the other is "Tropical Rain Season", a Malaysian Chinese film starring him. But this time, he did not walk on the red carpet with any crew, but walked alone, which is a bit inconsistent with the common form of the closing ceremony red carpet. It is reported that Lu Yanhe took a temporary leave from the crew's filming this time, mainly because he received a separate recall call from Mr. Wintour Robe, the artistic director of the Xitul Film Festival, which means that he is very likely to win a solo trophy."

"Lu Yanhe won the Best Screenwriter Award at the Jose-La-Cebu International Film Festival, one of the four major international film festivals, for his film Love Letter, the Audience Choice Award at the Jose-La-Cebu International Film Festival for his film Rouge, and the Best Screenwriter Award for a Musical/Comedy Series at the Golden Globe Awards for his sitcom Friends. At the same time, his starring film Late Spring won the Grand Jury Prize in the Main Competition Unit of the Venice International Film Festival, and his starring film Road to Glory won the Best Film Award in the Horizon Unit of the Venice International Film Festival. He is the most watched face of Chinese filmmakers in the international film industry in recent years."

The film channel directly listed Lu Yanhe’s representative films and the international awards he has won in a chart, clearly showing his achievements over the years.

In addition to those read out by the host, there are many other awards.

Then, this picture went viral on the Internet.

There’s nothing we can do, the record is just too impressive.

In the past five years, he has killed gods and Buddhas. As an actor and screenwriter, he has won many awards and no one can say anything about it.

Expectations were immediately raised.

-

Lu Yanhe came back and after entering the inner field, he went to greet Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong looked at him in surprise.

Huang Tianlin too.

Now they all know that their movie will definitely win an award, but they just don’t know what award it is.

And Lu Yanhe must have won a prize, but I don’t know what it is.

Either it was the Best Screenplay Award for "Raise the Red Lantern", or the Best Actor Award for "Tropical Rainy Season", or one of the works won the Best Picture Award.

The occasion here is not as social as other award ceremonies.

The entire venue is dark blue in color and the light is soft.

The members of the jury were introduced to the stage by Wintour Robe and sat on the stage. They will sit on the stage throughout the entire process, presenting and witnessing the awards one by one.

Lu Yanhe saw Liu Bige.

Liu Bige was sitting among the judges in a suit and tie, looking very handsome. Several women around Lu Yanhe looked at him several times.

Lu Yanhe thought he could see some signals from Liu Bige's face——

Although he had been holding back from sending a message to Liu Bige, asking himself what was going on.

But there was nothing to be seen on Liu Bige's face.

Lu Yanhe couldn't help feeling nervous and uneasy, and even subconsciously wanted to shake his legs, but fortunately he immediately suppressed the impulse.

There is no one else around him.

His seat was arranged in the second row, and he sat alone.

Wang Zhong, Huang Tianlin and the others were elsewhere.

This made it impossible for Lu Yanhe to find anyone to talk to.

The awards ceremony always starts with some unimportant awards.

Unexpectedly, among the first few awards, one of the Best Photography Awards was given to "Tropical Rain Season".

Huang Tianlin, as the director of photography and chief photographer of this film, went on stage to receive the award.

Lu Yanhe could see that he was a little disappointed.

He certainly didn't think that the award was bad. As a director who won the award for the first time after being nominated, he was already very lucky. However, after receiving the recall invitation, when he knew that he had won the award, he must have thought that maybe he could win a bigger award.

In fact, the Best Photography Award is already a very high honor for "Tropical Rainy Season", a work that sees the big picture from the small.

The biggest strength of this film is obviously the photography.

Lu Yanhe clapped happily.

Then, he heard Huang Tianlin thank him again in his acceptance speech.

Lu Yanhe smiled at him happily and gave him a thumbs up.

Afterwards, the Best Screenplay Award was given to the French film "The Epitaph of François", and the Special Award was given to the Indian film "A Woman".

What no one expected was that the Best Screenplay Award and Best Director Award were both given to Christian Mossang for the American film "Bale".

Generally speaking, it is rare for a film to win two important awards at the same time.

However, this also made Lu Yanhe breathe a sigh of relief, and he held his breath and concentrated even more.

Afterwards, the Best Actress award was given to another top candidate of this year, the actress of the Iranian film "Divorce".

Then, Best Actor -

Lu Yanhe had been secretly taking deep breaths to keep himself calm.

Oh shit!

This kind of award mechanism is so annoying. It is different from those awards where the results are completely unknown. At this time, he knows that the winner should be himself with a high probability. However, he cannot feel at ease until the hammer falls. Instead, it makes him more nervous.

"Tropical Rainy Season, Lu Yanhe!"

He heard his name pronounced in broken Chinese.

Afterwards, Wang Zhong, Huang Tianlin and others stood up at the same time, looked at him and applauded him.

Lu Yanhe felt dizzy for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

He subconsciously clenched his fists and squeezed them hard.

He clenched all his uncontrollable excitement into this fist.

Lu Yanhe walked onto the stage amid the applause and attention of the crowd.

It was not until this time that Liu Bigo gave him a knowing smile.

dog.

Giving him a hint earlier would lead to his death?!

It made him nervous and look forward to it for so long!

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath and took his trophy.

"Please allow me to take a deep breath and take a serious look at this trophy." Lu Yanhe restrained the excitement in his voice and said to everyone, then took a serious look at the trophy in his hand. "It's incredible that I can get this trophy when I'm still so young and handsome. Thank you, Xitul, you stopped me from getting ugly and fat just to win the award - thank God, I don't have to abandon my image to win the Best Actor award."

Wang Zhong laughed and applauded with everyone else in admiration.

Why is it that this guy always comes up with something new and fresh every time he gives an acceptance speech, which is both sincere and humorous?

"Thank you, Director Huang Tianlin. If you hadn't edited me from a supporting role to a leading role, I probably wouldn't have won this trophy." Lu Yanhe shook his head and sighed, "Movies are indeed the art of directors. Directors decide the fate of everyone in a movie. However, the fate of actors is in their own hands, because excellent directors will be taken care of by excellent actors. As long as you are good enough, a director who doesn't like to be a popular star will break his own principles for this."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

The behind-the-scenes story of "Tropical Rain Season" has actually been widely known through reports from various media in recent days.

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.

"Sitol is really my lucky place, especially for me to play a supporting role in a movie. Five years ago, my first movie, "Three Mountains", made me known to the world here. In that movie, I only had ten minutes of screen time. Five years later, "Tropical Rainy Season" made me win the Best Actor award. I didn't count the time I was on screen, but fortunately, the judges will not judge the quality of an actor's performance by calculating the length of time he or she is on screen."

"The changes in light and shadow are the eternity of the moment, the eternity of the moment, and the performance is the soul-touching result of countless iterations of moments. For me, "Tropical Rain" is a pleasant surprise on my acting journey. For "Tropical Rain", I hope that Situl can be the starting point for it to be known by audiences all over the world. Its emotions are enough to transcend language, my face, and the character's skin color to touch the depths of everyone's soul. I also hope this is the reason why I won the Best Actor award. Thank you."

After Lu Yanhe finished speaking, he proudly raised his trophy to show it to the audience, bowed slightly to the jury to express his gratitude, and left the stage.

-

"The 24-year-old winner of the Sitol Film Festival!"

"The second youngest actor to win the Best Actor award in the history of the Sitol Film Festival!"

"Green Valley Films of the United States has already bought the North American distribution rights for "Tropical Rainy Season" and will help Lu Yanhe get the Oscars next year!"

"Lu Yanhe's acceptance speech moved the whole world!"

…

“What the hell?!” Chen Ziyan waved her hand. “Which media reported that last one? Take it down immediately! What a disgusting thing! Don’t use such a soul-stirring title at this time!”

She directed the people in the publicity and public relations department to start publicity at the first possible moment. At the same time, she monitored public opinions from all aspects and resolutely cracked down on those who emerged at this time and attacked Lu Yanhe with remarks that "overseas film festivals only give awards by smearing China."

Chen Ziyan's heart was flying at this moment.

I won a prize, I actually won a prize!

"Ah——" Suddenly, Lu Qingzhen screamed.

"Raise the Red Lantern won the highest award, the Best Film Award! This is the second Chinese film to win the highest award at the West Tur Film Festival! It has been 35 years since the last time it won the highest award!"

The whole audience cheered in surprise after Lu Qingzhen said this.

At this moment, Chen Ziyan didn't care about her image at all and shouted "Yes!" loudly.
