Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 42 Here, I am also a superstar!
……

California.

Eric sat in the studio, listening to Spielberg and the art director discussing something.

He felt his phone vibrate, took it out and saw it was a text message from Gu Bei.

“‘The Tuner’ won the Short Film Jury Prize.”

"Congratulations, Bruce."

Eric had just put his phone away.

Spielberg happened to see the smile on his face: "Eric, what good thing happened?"

"The short film I shot before Christmas just won the Short Film Jury Award at Sundance."

Eric said proudly, "The director of that short film is only twenty years old. He must be the youngest winner of Sundance!"

"Short film..."

A look of nostalgia appeared on Spielberg's face.

He shot the short film "Amblin" at the age of 22 and won an award at the second Atlanta Film Festival. This allowed him to sign a contract with Universal Pictures and become a director.

Compared to his time, the competition in the film industry is more intense now.

The Sundance Film Festival is also more influential than the Atlanta Film Festival.

"What's the director's name?"

"Bruce Gu."

"Eric, if you have a chance, could you bring that short film over to me and show it to me?"

……

Gu Bei squeezed back into his seat and handed the medal to Antonio.

"This is probably the most beautiful medal I have ever seen!"

Antonio looked at the medal excitedly over and over again, even more excited than the winner Gu Bei.

The people around also cast envious glances at me.

This area is full of short film crews, but most of them have won honorary mention awards.

Don Hertzfeldt was the most eagerly anticipated among them, as his animated short film won the Special Jury Award for Short Films.

Just by adding the word "special", the prize was downgraded from first prize to second prize.

"It would be great if it was the Short Film Palme d'Or." Liu Yifei looked at the medal with a complicated tone. Originally, this award should have been the Short Film Palme d'Or.

"The medal is pretty good, no worse than a gold leaf."

Gu Bei thought that he would probably never make a short film again.

The golden leaves of the short film Palme d'Or are the same as the golden leaves of the Palme d'Or.

But this medal is unique and simple.
In the future, my own children will play with those trophies, whether it is the Palme d'Or or the Oscar, there will be no problem.
This medal is the only one that must be cherished!
From this perspective, the weight of this medal has increased!
The people from the short film crew around them, listening to the conversation between the two people, just thought they were showing off, but who told them to win the biggest award for short films?

Just then, Gu Bei took out his cell phone and saw the message from Eric.

"Eric said Spielberg wanted to see my short film."

Gu Bei didn't know Eric's situation, but he remembered that at the wrap party, Eric said he would join Spielberg's crew after Christmas.

After a pause, he instructed Antonio, "When you return to New York, send a copy of the CD to Eric."

"Is that the Spielberg I know?"

"Which one else could there be?"

"Can I deliver it myself?"

"up to you."

After hearing this, the people from the short film crew around were not only jealous of Gu Bei, but even started to be jealous of Antonio.

Going to meet such a big shot is not just about chasing stars. If they are favored, some of the resources in their hands will be leaked, which is what short film directors like them urgently need!
……

the next day.

If Lina says five o'clock in the afternoon, then it is five o'clock in the afternoon.

A business car of the same model as Anthony Hopkins's stopped at the door of the hotel.

"Xixi, you really aren't coming?"

"I didn't make this movie." Liu Yifei shook her head and refused. She didn't even have time to avoid the spotlight, so how could she possibly consider getting in the car?
"Antonio, didn't you hope to have the same treatment as Hopkins? Now you have it!" Gu Bei looked at Antonio again.

"This isn't a place to pick me up, I don't want it!"

Antonio also decisively refused.

Gu Bei was helpless.

He got into the car alone: ​​"Then see you at the theater."

Gu Bei took the short film jury medal and sat in the best seat in the business car, which was also the seat where Anthony Hopkins had sat before.

This feeling is wonderful,

Ten days ago, I had to be taken along by others.

Now this car is specially made for me.

The weight of the medal is still increasing!

It is still the Polo Club Cinema.

There was already a line at the door, and the audience who were able to stay until the last day of the film festival to watch the award-winning films were all avid fans of the movies.

There is also a small red carpet next to the queue.

Even without a host,
But when a car stopped and a short film crew got out,
The audience in line still gave applause in support.

As the six o'clock showtime got closer, crews arrived one after another and sat down in the first row of the theater.

Finally, a commercial vehicle that was taller and larger than all the previous vehicles stopped at the theater entrance.

It doesn't even need an introduction, just from the unique appearance of the car,
You can know that this is the highest award for short films - the winner of the Short Film Jury!
The car door opened and Gu Bei got out.

"Click!" "Click!"

Two reporters were standing on both sides of the red carpet, holding long lenses and taking pictures of Gu Bei. The flashes almost blinded his eyes.

“It’s the tuner!”

"I guessed right, the tuner won the Jury Award!"

"Oh my god, this is the first time I know that the sound engineer is the director of that short film!"

Someone in the queue immediately recognized Gu Bei.

Tourists who stayed until this point have already heard of the tuner, even if they haven't seen him.

The fame that the sound engineer has accumulated at the Sundance Film Festival from the first day to now has all been transformed into passion.

The entire team was in an uproar from beginning to end. The enthusiasm displayed by this group of movie lovers was no less than that of the fanatical fans of superstars.

Gu Bei had a feeling when he saw this scene.

Here, I am also a superstar!
Even if it's just a limited time edition.

"Hey Bro, remember me?"

A familiar voice came from the team.

Gu Bei looked over and found that it was the black guy who sat next to him when the second set of short films was played for the first time.

The other person was raising a fist, wanting to fight with him.

Gu Bei didn't hesitate and walked over to exchange punches with the other party.

This caused an even bigger sensation.

Everyone in the team raised their fists or palms, wanting to interact with Gu Bei.

Gu Bei interacted with everyone very patiently, moving from the end of the team to the front.

At this time, it was six o'clock.
But the audience in the front row were reluctant to enter because Gu Bei had not arrived yet.

"Lina, do we have this link?"

"no!"

"But now..."

"If you tell them to go in now, they'll definitely choose to flush your head down the toilet."

Lina looked at the team and said calmly, "Anyway, this is the last screening of the film festival, let them make a fuss!"
