1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 596 Celebration Banquet

"Mr. Tian, ​​congratulations!"

"The Palme d'Or, this is the first time in China."

In a private room of a restaurant in the Friendship Hotel, Li Changhe, Zhu Lin, Gong Xue, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others gathered together to celebrate their Palme d'Or.

"To be honest, I have to thank you for this award, Changhe."

"If it weren't for your story with Liang Zuo, I wouldn't have been able to get this."

"You don't know that this script received very high praise from Cannes. They said it reflected the plunder of the human class and showed the original sin of human nature."

"I really didn't expect that they would like this tune. It was really unexpected."

Tian Zhuangzhuang said, shaking his head.

"Compassion is the tone that artists like the most. It's normal."

"This is the two-faced side of capitalism. On the one hand, they plunder resources from all over the world to support their own strength, but on the other hand, they focus on exploring human nature in art, showing their concern for the lower classes and the compassion of the upper classes for the lower classes."

“The art circles in Europe and America are all like this!”

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"Changhe is still very clear-sighted. Capitalism has always been very hypocritical."

"By the way, Zhuangzhuang, go back and edit your first version of the film and release it domestically."

"You don't know. When the news of your winning came back, I was so worried. Not only me, but even the Film Bureau was confused. They had no idea what to do, whether to promote it or not."

"Finally, we asked the top leaders and they gave us instructions, and only then did we feel relieved."

"Unfortunately, you are still a student and not considered an employee of our Beijing Film Studio."

"Among you, only Comrade Gong Xue has benefited from this. The honor of this year's outstanding film worker must go to Comrade Gong Xue."

Wang Yang said happily at this time.

There are many excellent films produced by the Beijing Film Studio this year, but facing "Parasite", which won the Cannes Palme d'Or, other films, no matter how glorious the honors, have no chance this time.

"You are all excellent comrades. When I see you, I know that there is hope for the future of Beijing Film Studio."

Old Wang was happy at the moment, so he inevitably drank a little more and talked more.

Chen Kaige, who was standing aside, looked at Zhu Lin and Li Changhe thoughtfully.

Halfway through, when Li Changhe went to the toilet, Chen Kaige followed him decisively.

"Changhe, wait for me, let's go together!"

Chen Kaige caught up and said with a smile.

"Old Chen, looking at your attitude at the dinner table, what's wrong? Do you want to direct too?"

Li Changhe asked Chen Kaige with a smile.

Zhu Lin and Tian Zhuangzhuang both won awards for their directing work, one at the Golden Rooster and the other at the Cannes Film Festival. Li Changhe thought Chen Kaige was also attracted to the film.

After all, he was a tough guy who won the Palme d'Or in his previous life, although it was just one movie that made him rich.

"No, no, no, I have no idea."

"Changhe, I know my own abilities. Zhu Lin doesn't tell me, but Lao Tian has been playing with cameras since he was a child. Directing is just like playing. I have only been using cameras for a few years. It's still too early."

"Changhe, I'm looking for you because I want to ask you something."

At this time, Chen Kaige whispered to Li Changhe.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Seeing that Chen Kaige was not here for directing, Li Changhe became a little curious.

"Let's make this clear first. I'm saying, Changhe, don't be angry." Chen Kaige hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Li Changhe.

Seeing this, Li Changhe became even more curious: "Go ahead and tell me, I'm not angry."

Chen Kaige gritted his teeth when he heard this, and then whispered, "Changhe, I heard Zhu Lin mention it before. Is she not interested in being assigned to the Beijing Film Studio after graduation?"

"Do you want her to enter the Beijing Film Studio?"

"Of course, if you want to go, that's definitely no problem."

"What I mean is, if Zhu Lin is not interested in the Beijing Film Studio, I'm thinking about taking advantage of the popularity of the award to find Lao Wang and see if I can get a share of the money."

After Chen Kaige finished speaking, he looked at Li Changhe nervously.

After listening to this, Li Changhe smiled.

"I thought it was something else, that's all, just go find Lao Wang without worry."

"Zhu Lin won't go to the Beijing Film Studio at that time."

Hearing Li Changhe's words, Chen Kaige was delighted at first, thinking that there was hope for his allocation.

But then he said with some concern: "Changhe, don't make the decision for Zhu Lin just because I asked you to do that."

"I'm not saying I have to go to the Beijing Film Studio, nor am I saying I have to compete with Zhu Lin for the spot. I just heard Zhu Lin say that she didn't want to go."

Li Changhe patted Chen Kaige on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Lao Chen, I didn't misunderstand you. Zhu Lin is definitely not going to the Beijing Film Studio."

"To be honest, Zhu Lin and I have thought about it. As soon as you graduate, we will consider having children."

"At that time, Zhu Lin had no time to direct. You wanted to wait until the child was born, but you were too young to run away and continue to be a director."

"So the Beijing Film Studio is indeed not in our plan. If you want to be assigned to it, take this opportunity to communicate with Old Wang as soon as possible. After all, there are many children of your Beijing Film Studio in Beijing Film Academy."

Zhu Lin's roommate Li Shaohong is also a student of the Beijing Film Studio, and a lesbian. If the Beijing Film Studio has two vacancies, one man and one woman would be the most suitable.

This was also the reason why Old Wang was able to secure Zhu Lin's place at the Beijing Film Studio. Her identity as a female director would not conflict with Tian Zhuangzhuang's quota.

If Zhu Lin doesn't go, Li Shaohong will actually have an advantage.

But now that Chen Kaige has the advantage of Cannes, it cannot be said that he cannot compete with Li Shaohong.

"I understand. Old Tian told me that if you don't go, Uncle Wang will go and talk to me."

Chen Kaige said in a low voice at this time.

Li Changhe nodded: "Well, then you should seize the opportunity as soon as possible. We can give you a definite answer and we will never regret it when the time comes."

Li Changhe and Zhu Lin have not yet decided where they will go after the assignment, but they will definitely not go to the Beijing Film Studio.

When Li Changhe and Chen Kaige returned to the room, the room was still bustling. Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at Chen Kaige calmly, only to see Chen Kaige giving him a smug smile.

When Old Tian saw this, he knew that this kid must have got the accurate information from Li Changhe.

Well, we'll have to wait and see what happens next. I'll have to talk to Uncle Wang about it.

"Come on, Kaige, tell us more about the embarrassing things that Zhongying boy did when he went out, so that we can have some fun."

"Also, what's going on in Paris?"

"Liang Zuo said you took a lot of photos with your camera. Have you developed them?"

At the table, Zhang Yimou and others asked Chen Kaige curiously.

They did not go overseas this time, so they were naturally curious about going out.

"Let me explain this to you slowly."
