Dad Academy

PS: It's the end of the month, I'm asking for monthly tickets, and I'll try to update twice next month.

When Zhang Tan showed up with a group of children, applause and cheers rang out on the red carpet of the film festival. Through the movie screenings in the past few days, some people still know them.

"Liuli-Liuli, look here!!!"

Someone in the crowd was shouting, and Dudu heard it first, and quickly locked onto Zhu Xiaojing in the crowd and pointed it out to Liuliu.

"That's your mother."

Liuli looked and saw that it was indeed Zhu's mother who was squeezed in the crowd with a camera hanging around her neck.

Liuli waved happily at Zhu's mother: "Don't let someone steal your wallet!"

Liuli's concern is always so ingenious.

Zhang Tan told his girlfriends: "Don't be nervous, just follow us, smile on your face, remember to wave to everyone, and pretend that you are very familiar with each other."

Xiaobai also said: "Liuli, don't shake, why are you shaking."

"I'm not shaking! I'm exercising after eating." Liuliu was stubborn.

Xiaobai said, "Look at Chengcheng, she's not nervous at all, like a fairy."

Everyone looked at Chengcheng, who was very calm. She couldn't wave her hands. She put her hands behind her back, looking around leisurely, and was very curious about these foreigners who were screaming.

She really wasn't nervous, she had practiced for so many years.

Unlike Chengcheng, Xiwawa waved very diligently, and looked at everyone as if she saw a relative.

Xiaomi was a little nervous, she stayed close to Xiaobai and didn't dare to look around.

Xiabai took out a photo from her pocket and held it in front of her chest.

Xiaomi leaned over to look at the photo, which was a photo of Xiaoxiaobai drinking milk powder, and asked Xiaobai what he was doing.

Xiabai said, "Xiaxiaobai can't be absent from this occasion, no one can be missing."

Holding Xiaoxiaobai's photo meant that they were with Xiaoxiaobai.

Seeing this, Xier also quickly took out the staring caterpillar, which Robin gave her before coming, saying that it was to represent her at the award ceremony.

She pinched it from time to time, and the little caterpillar's eyes widened continuously.

Liuliu reminded everyone: "Mother Zhu is taking pictures, you have to behave better."

Everyone did as she was told, squeezed together, held hands and shoulders, and let Mother Zhu take beautiful photos of them.

Dudu held the little beauty doll and urged everyone to hurry up: "There are foreigners catching up behind us, we can't let them catch up."

The next wave of guests had already walked onto the red carpet, and Dudu's desire to win had exploded. She couldn't let anyone catch up with her no matter what. On the contrary, she really wanted to catch up with the foreigners in front.

"Huh? There's a little girl behind us!" Xier discovered the magic.

Everyone looked back and saw a few foreigners behind them. Their clothes were despised by Xiaobai.

Behind these foreigners, a man and a woman appeared with a little girl.

The key is that they all look Asian, but I don't know if they are Chinese.

Zhang Tan also saw it and told them: "They are also Chinese, just like us."

"Huh? How come I didn't know?" Xiaobai asked. There were actually children like them coming from China.

Zhang Tan hadn't seen these compatriots in the past few days, but he saw their introduction in the film festival newspapers and the short film they shot was also nominated.

Yes, they were also nominated for short films.

"Should we wait for them?" Xiaobai asked.

Zhang Tan said: "Let's walk the red carpet first and wait for them in the hall."

"That's right~"

After walking the long red carpet and standing in front of the golden hall, Zhang Tan and others stopped and waited for their compatriots behind them to come.

"Hi~~~"

Xiaobai waved and greeted the little girl who was walking towards them.

The little girl was a little shy, her face was flushed, which was stained by walking on the red carpet just now.

When she saw Xiaobai and the others and heard the same Mandarin, she felt friendly and waved and greeted them.

"Are you also from China?" the little girl asked.

"We are, are you too?" Xier asked enthusiastically.

At the same time, Zhang Tan was also talking to a man and a woman who were traveling with him.

"Director Zhang, I've heard of your name for a long time."

The woman reached out and shook hands with Zhang Tan. Her last name was also Zhang, and she was a director. This time, the short film she shot was also nominated, and the little girl next to her was the heroine of the short film!

Zhang Tan naturally knew them. There was a profile of them in the film festival publication. Because they were both Chinese, and both were nominated for short films, and the heroines were both little girls! These similarities made them feel that they were destined to be together.

However, Zhang Tan did not know this female director Zhang before. She was an independent filmmaker and was unknown.

While they were talking, a staff member guided them to the Golden Hall, and the two sides had to separate.

"I wish you win the award." Xiaobai shouted to the girl named Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi turned around and waved at them.

Zhang Tan looked around and found that the people next to them were the main creative team of the opening film "Your Eyes". Both sides nodded and greeted each other. They knew each other, but they were not familiar with each other.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the closing ceremony of the film festival officially began.

According to the process of the award ceremony, there is a warm-up show first, the host opens the show, and then the awards begin.

There are many awards at the film festival, and the names are also various, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish the weights.

The first award to be presented was the award of the New Generation Unit, and the first to be announced was the Best Short Film of the International Jury of the New Generation Children Unit.

Zhang Tan is particularly concerned because "The Other Shoe" shot by Xiaobai and his team is the most promising to win this award.

Xiaobai and the others were in a daze and had no idea what the upcoming awards had to do with them.

But it is a pity that Zhang Tan has watched the award-winning short film "Summer End", which tells the story of a little boy getting a haircut.

Zhang Tan felt very sad, but he was not discouraged. Not winning this award did not mean that subsequent awards were impossible.

There are two awards in total for the New Generation category. The other one is called the Crystal Bear Special Mention Award for Feature Films in the New Generation Youth category, which was won by an Italian film.

The Adventure category was awarded next, and the first award was the Short Film Special Mention Award, which was won by a French film called "All About Me".

Next comes the Short Film Jury Prize.

"The winner is: "Hot Afternoon."

Zhang Tan quickly reminded Xiaobai and the others: "It was Xiao Qi who won the award just now."

"Clam?"

"Let me see."

"Where where?"

"Don't pull at me."

…

Everyone scrambled to look first, craned their necks and looked forward, and sure enough they saw the three people they met on the red carpet just now, including the little girl Xiao Qi.

At this moment, they stood up and waved to thank everyone.

The female director got up and walked towards the stage. When she passed Zhang Tan's table, Xiaobai and the others waved hello to her enthusiastically.

"Well done sister!"

The female director waved to them to thank them and stepped onto the stage in high heels.

Liuliu waved to Xiao Qi and shouted in a low voice: "You go up too, duck, come up! Why don't you go up!! You are at a loss~~~"

Dudu pulled her and told her to stop talking.

What does this say?

Luoliu was indignant: "Why don't us children go up to receive the award after winning the award? Why only adults are allowed to go up? Hum!"

Dudu said: "I am the director."

“Is the director bigger than my starring role?”

"Bigger than the lead actor."

"...You rebelled, Dudu."

The short film in which a girl named Xiao Qi participated is called "Hot Day Afternoon", which tells the story of a six-year-old girl Xiao Qi. (PS: This short film actually existed and won this year’s Short Film Special Mention Award)

Zhu Xiaojing had a press pass and also entered the Golden Hall, and had a seat assigned by the organizer. She was holding a camera to shoot. Unexpectedly, there was a short film from China that won the award. If "The Other Shoe" could also win, then What a wonderful story.

Director Zhang was particularly excited when she stood on the podium. Maybe she never expected to win. For a little-known director like her, this is the greatest recognition she can receive.

I hope this award will help her future directing career.

After thanking her, she walked off the podium and returned to the crowd to present the Golden Bear Award for Best Short Film.

The award was presented to an actress from Hollywood. Zhang Tan could be said to have grown up watching her movies. If nothing else happens, she should win the Golden Bear Award for Lifetime Achievement this year.

"The winner of the Golden Bear for Best Short Film is..."

She opened the card and said, looking at Zhang Tan's table.

At the same time, Xi'er was translating for her friends.

"The Other Shoe, China."
