This night, Lin Gao was in a particularly calm mood.

On the contrary, he was in a very uplifting mood.
On the international stage, seeing audiences and film critics sincerely praise "Westward Journey" made him more determined in his direction.
Walking into the room, Lin Gao took off his coat and hung it casually on the back of the chair.
He walked to the window and looked out at the street scene through the window.
The streets are busy with traffic, and the city looks particularly beautiful at night.
Everything in this city is intertwined with his inner emotions at the moment.
The phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a message from Wei Lianlian.
[Boss, I just received the news that our film has been nominated for the "Best Director Award" and "Best Foreign Language Film". 】
Seeing this news, Lin Gao smiled slightly.
Although being shortlisted does not mean the final award, it is already a great affirmation.
He put down the phone and took a deep breath.
Wei Lianlian’s news brought exciting good news, but Lin Gao knew that this was just the beginning.
In the next few days, he will not only continue to participate in various activities of the film festival, but also make some necessary preparations for the final selection of these awards.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Lin Gao walked over and opened the door and found it was Master Xing.
"Still not asleep?" Mr. Xing asked with a smile, holding two bottles of wine in his hand.
"No, I just received the news." Lin Gao invited Master Xing to come in and took the wine from his hand.
Master Xing sat on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, "What, are you shortlisted?"
Lin Gao smiled and nodded.
"Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film."
Hearing this, Master Xing showed a satisfied look.
"This opportunity is very good. Whether I win or not, it is a huge breakthrough."

"It is indeed a good opportunity."
The two clinked glasses.
Although the language is brief, the two people's mood is extremely consistent.
They understand that this is not only a recognition of "Westward Journey", but also an important breakthrough for Chinese films to go global.
Master Xing took a sip of wine and looked at Lin Gao with some emotion in his tone.
"I have been making movies for so many years, and I always feel that sometimes the things I make can only be accepted by domestic audiences. It is not easy to break cultural barriers."
Lin Gao nodded slightly, his eyes firm.
“So we need to continue to innovate.”
“Only by retaining our own characteristics and looking for elements that resonate with the world’s audiences can we truly break this barrier.”
< br>Master Xing nodded, obviously agreeing with Lin Gao's point of view.
"Actually, this film festival has given me a lot of inspiration." Xing Ye said, "I have always felt that our film culture is unique, but sometimes, if we insist too much on our own style, we will be rejected by the international market."
Lin Gao understands Master Xing’s feelings.
He knows that Mr. Xing has been making nonsensical comedies all his life. This style has a large number of fans in China, but it is not always understood and accepted in the international market.
“This may be one of the reasons for our success this time.” Lin Gao said.
“We do not blindly cater to the international market, but we do not completely stick to the original style.”
