"Kege's film was well shot, and the effect was better than I expected."

Lin Chaoyang had a smile on his face and soft eyes, which suddenly relieved the tension and anxiety in Chen Kaige's heart, and then his heart was filled with joy. The name of a person is the shadow of a tree.

You must know that Uncle Lin's level in the field of drama creation is no worse than that of his novel writing. Which of the scripts he has written over the years has not been well-received and popular? What's more, Uncle Lin also holds the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, which is the best in China.

The only one!

Chen Kaige could see that Uncle Lin's words were not polite, but sincere. "So... do you think there is any hope of winning the award?" Chen Kaige asked,

Lin Chaoyang looked at his eldest nephew with subtle eyes, "Are you just trying to "block the road to ask for a seal" with me?

The Berlin Film Festival is held in late February, which is already late January, and there is still a month to go.

According to normal procedures, the list of shortlisted films will be announced in the next few days, which means that copies of the registered films must be delivered to the organizing committee before this time.

Moreover, the film selection team must be given time to select films, at least one and a half months in advance.

"Kids King" only signed up for the title at the end of November. Up to now, the film's post-production has not even been completed, let alone a copy of the film sent to the organizing committee. Entering the film selection process, the film copy has not yet arrived. For ordinary films

It is said that it is destined to be eliminated.

But the situation in "The King of Children" is different. Xiao Yu from China Film Company does have two skills. She studied in West Germany and helped Shanghai Film Studio sell movies to Germany.

In the past few years, she has successively sent many films such as "The Return of the Swallow", "Nostalgia" and "Blood is Always Hot" to the Berlin Film Festival.

The organizing committee of the Renjia Film Festival said that your Chinese films have too strong a political flavor. Please send more movies with a strong sense of life next time. Xiao Yu agreed on the surface, but then turned around and sent "Yamaha Fish Stall" and "Strange".

Friends” videos.

Even though these films were rejected in the first round, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

Later, Chen Kaige temporarily canceled the Berlin Film Festival in order to participate in the Cannes Film Festival. Such a vicious plot completely angered the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee. According to normal logic, Xiao Yu, as a middleman, would definitely be angered.

But the result was that in December after the registration deadline for the Berlin Film Festival, when the organizing committee was no longer accepting new applications, she forcefully submitted Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum" through the festival chairman Harden.

film festival.

Just say it’s awesome or not!

The most important thing is that "Red Sorghum" finally won the Golden Bear Award!

This time "The King of Kids" was too late to deliver the film, so Xiao Yu asked Chen Kaige to cut out 30 minutes of the plot first, and then flew to find Haden.

While simultaneously interpreting for Hadern, I gave a strong review of the movie, which successfully made Hadern have a strong interest in "The King of Children" and praised it greatly. With the praise of the film festival chairman, it was natural to be shortlisted.

It’s a problem, and it also greatly increases the probability of “Kids King” winning the prize.

The only uncertainty now is how important an award "The King of Children" will win in the end. "Don't think so much. Whether it wins or not is a matter for the film festival and the judges."

Lin Chaoyang's words made Chen Kaige a little disappointed. Sister Yu came back and said that Mr. Harden, the chairman of the film festival, admired "The King of Children" very much and might win a grand prize. Chen Kaige asked again: "Uncle Lin, what do you think of my film?"

You need to pay electricity to participate..."

Before he could say the word "film festival" in his mouth, he felt a cold look flash through his eyes, and saw Lin Chaoyang looking at him with squinted eyes. Chen Kaige didn't know if it was his imagination, he felt that there was something hidden in it.

It smells very dangerous.

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? We have all signed up here. Everyone has been busy for a few months. Do you think you are playing house?" Chen Huaikai scolded his son sternly, and then smiled apologetically at Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu:

"You two, don't listen to his nonsense. This kid was bewitched by his classmates in the film school. He would rather accept Berlin than accept it."

Then he turned around and scolded Chen Kaige again: "You let them try to make a film that was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival and see if they can make it? They are a bunch of bastards who are talking on paper!" Lin Chaoyang gave Chen Kaige a cold look, and Chen Kaige couldn't help but shrink his neck.

.

He originally thought that Lin Chaoyang would scold him like his father, but Lin Chaoyang ignored him and turned to look at his father.

"Old Chen, I'd say you're still too spoiled for children. I hear this. This kid has told you this before, and you didn't agree, right? He doesn't take you as a father seriously.

ah!

Lin Chaoyang's tone was very calm, but every word he spoke was like salt particles shaving his face. The shaving made Chen Huaikai's face ache, and his face was cloudy and unpredictable.

"Okay, don't be angry. After all, the child is older. A girl cannot be raised by her mother, and a child cannot be raised by his father.

Kaige is now promising. People used to call him Chen Huaikai's son, but from now on you will be "Chen Kaige's father"."

Every time Lin Chaoyang said something, Chen Huaikai's face turned darker. Even a fool could hear the sarcasm in Lin Chaoyang's words, let alone this old fox.

But what if he hears it?

Whether Lin Chaoyang is yin and yang, or whether he is criticizing Sang and Huai, isn't it all the fault of this unsatisfactory bastard in his family?

Chen Huaikai looked at his son with gloomy eyes. At this moment, Chen Kaige did not dare to look at his father at all. He regretted so much that he had just got carried away and told the story about the Wuna Film Festival.

He didn't know why he didn't even name the film festival. Uncle Lin could guess what he was thinking. He knew him better than the roundworm in his stomach.

Since directing independently, Chen Kaige's awe for his father has become less than before. Especially when "King of Children" was able to participate in the Berlin Film Festival as an exception, it only increased his inner pride and pride.

The idea of ​​quitting Berlin and moving to Cannes to change careers arose in this state of mind. But pride is pride, and Chen Kaige has not lost his mind yet.

Before he finished speaking today, Uncle Lin's eyes had already expressed his attitude.

If you say you don't agree, then you don't agree. What are you fanning the flames of?

Looking at his father's gloomy and terrifying face, Chen Kaige felt that the person standing in front of him was not his father.

It is an active volcano that may erupt at any time, and terrible storms may come in the blink of an eye.

Uncle Lin, stop talking, please stop talking, I was wrong! I was really wrong!

Under the pleading in Chen Kaige's eyes, Lin Chaoyang finally stopped talking. He glanced at Chen Kaige with his eyes, and then bared his teeth in joy. Chen Kaige only felt a flash of swords and swords flashing before his eyes, and couldn't help but shudder.

.

"Kege!" Lin Chaoyang patted Chen Kaige on the shoulder.

"Uncle Lin."

Chen Kaige responded, his tall body slightly bowed, looking weak and humble.

"You, learn more from your father, he has enough things for you to learn for a lifetime!"

After saying this, Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu left Yanying Factory.

Hu Qiming wanted to stay and watch the show, but considering that everyone was old colleagues, he still had to save some face for Chen Huaikai.

"Old Chen, I have something to do over there, so I'm going back to the office first."

Chen Huaikai forced a smile to send Hu Qiming away, then turned to look at his son.

"Dad!" Chen Kaige called out timidly.

Chen Huaikai was furious and raised his hand to make a big move, but Chen Kaige instinctively dodged it.

Chen Huaikai stored up all his anger on this slap, but it was all in vain, and he became even more humiliated and angry.

"Dad! Dad! Dad!"

Seeing his father gaping and gnashing his teeth, Chen Kaige flinched and screamed several times, trying to awaken his father's sleeping paternal love.

"Don't call me dad, I don't have a dad like you!"

As soon as these words came out, both father and son fell silent.

"How dare you hide now that you have become more capable?" Finally, Chen Huaikai broke the silence and asked his son. "Dad, I'm over thirty." Chen Kaige said helplessly, with a hint of color on his face.

"Hmph!" Chen Huaikai snorted coldly, "You know you are over thirty, look at all the bastard thoughts you have? You don't know how high the sky is when you have some achievements!" Chen Kaige looked embarrassed when his father scolded him, and he couldn't help but think about it.

He said willingly: "How do you call it ignorance? Uncle Lin himself said that the quality of "Kids King" is good."

"And in terms of the international influence of movies, the French are indeed much better than the Germans. People go to higher places, water... Before Chen Kaige could finish his words, Chen Huaikai glared again and closed his mouth.

"Do you think that "The King of Kids" is all your work alone? You are complacent and complacent about a small achievement! Do you know what this is called? This is called treachery! Going back on your word! Breaking your promise!

Who will dare to cooperate with you easily in the future?"

Chen Kaige was very embarrassed by his father's scolding. He felt that he had become an ugly villain in his father's mouth. Although he thought it was a bit unreasonable to break the contract temporarily, he did not think that the matter was as serious as his father said.

Seeing that he was stubborn, Chen Huaikai said: "People cannot stand without faith. Why don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Chen Kaige opened his mouth but did not say any more, because he knew that he could not convince his father, and Uncle Lin would not support him. This matter could only be his wishful thinking.

Thinking of this, he felt a little uninterested.

"I understand, I won't mention the Cannes Film Festival again."

Chen Huaikai snorted coldly, "Reluctantly, I think you still don't want to give up." Chen Kaige said with a bitter face, "Can't I just think about it in my heart?"

“It’s impossible to even think about it, it’s a mistake to even think about it!”

Chen Kaige's expression became even more bitter. This was too overbearing.

Chen Huaikai said: "With your way of doing things, how can I rest assured about your next movie?" Hearing this, Chen Kaige's heart tightened.

What do you mean? You still want to be the Supreme Emperor?

"Dad, I've made several films, why are you worried?" "So what if I make a few films? If you go astray, no matter how much you accumulate, it will be in vain."

Chen Huaikai's tone was full of resentment, and his determination to interfere in his son's future film creation was very firm.

Thinking that the movie he directed will once again usher in the one-day scene, at this moment, Chen Kaige really regretted it! Why should I mention it to the film festival in such a good way?

This time, it was fine. Not only did Na fail to participate, but he also lost the opportunity to direct independently.

He recalled Lin Chaoyang's strange words just now, which added fuel to the fire, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin, don't you think you are inciting feelings between our father and son?

After feeling sad, Chen Kaige thought about how he was unable to change anything, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. How can there be a thirty-year-old prince in this world?

"What do you think Chen Kaige is thinking? It's already this time. Why don't you go to the Berlin Film Festival and go to the Yaona Film Festival?" Tao Yushu asked Lin Chaoyang in confusion.
