Chapter 832 I won’t be in a hurry to make a new movie
“Yes, I think I have learned a lot after working with you.”
“You, a young man, can always Let me see a different perspective.”
The two clinked their glasses, the wine in the glasses glowing faintly under the dim light.
As time passed, the conversation between Lin Gao and Master Xing gradually turned to future plans.
"What are you going to do next?" Master Xing asked.
"After "Westward Journey", will you continue to make commercial blockbusters, or try other genres?"
Lin Gao thought for a while.
He knew that the next step would be crucial.
Although "Westward Journey" was successful, he did not want to be limited to this.
"I want to try more different types." Lin Gao said with a firm tone.
“This time we have proved that Chinese films can go to the international market, but this is not the end.”
“I hope to shoot more films with Chinese cultural characteristics, but also can make the world A movie that resonates with the audience.”
Xing Ye nodded in agreement.
“You’re right.”
"The future belongs to those who dare to break the rules."
"I am also looking forward to your future works."
Lin Gao smiled, raised his glass and touched it with Master Xing again .
"That's for sure."
As the night wore on, the conversation between the two gradually calmed down.
Master Xing stood up to say goodbye, and Lin Gao watched him leave the room.
He stood at the door of the room, looking at the empty corridor, with the next work plan constantly emerging in his mind.
He knows that the next step is not only to make movies, but also to devote more energy to the planning and production of movies.
As an actor, his performance has been recognized; as a director, he is growing into a leader in the industry.
But there are more challenges waiting for him to face in the future.
The next day, the film festival's awards ceremony came as scheduled.
Lin Gao and Xingye stepped on the red carpet again.
This time, both of them seemed particularly calm.
Although they have been shortlisted for two important awards, Lin Gao knows that it does not matter whether they win in the end.
What he is looking forward to more is this dialogue and exchange with filmmakers from around the world.
At the awards ceremony, the lights were bright, and filmmakers from all over the world gathered together.
Not long after the ceremony began, the host announced the nominees for the "Best Foreign Language Film" award.
When the name of "Westward Journey" was read out, the audience burst into warm applause.
Lin Gao and Xingye looked at each other and smiled, quietly waiting for the final result.
The host opened the envelope and took a deep breath.
"The winning film for the best foreign language film is - "Westward Journey"!"
At this moment, the entire venue burst into thunderous applause.
Lin Gao and Xingye stood up, shook hands with each other, and then walked towards the stage.
Standing under the spotlight, facing the filmmakers and media in the audience, Lin Gao felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.
He took the trophy with a determined light in his eyes.
This is the greatest affirmation of their films and a huge encouragement to Chinese films.
“Thank you very much.” Lin Gao raised the trophy and said to the audience.
""Westward Journey" is not just a movie, it represents Chinese filmmakers' persistence in their dreams and their exploration of world cinema."
"This trophy not only belongs to me and My team belongs to everyone who works for the film industry."
He paused and his tone became firmer. "I believe that in the future, more Chinese films will go global and share our stories with global audiences."
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into warm applause again.
Lin Gao and Xing Ye walked off the stage with the trophy, their hearts filled with excitement and emotion.
They know that this victory is not only a personal glory, but also an important breakthrough for Chinese films.
After returning to his seat, Lin Gao's cell phone vibrated.
It was a message from Wei Lianlian.
[Boss, the media has started reporting, and everyone is congratulating you on winning the award. 】
Lin Gao looked at the information on the phone screen and felt extremely pleased.
He knows that this award is just the beginning.
There are more challenges and opportunities waiting for him to face in the future.
When walking out of the venue, the night wind blew Lin Gao's face, bringing a bit of coolness.
He looked up at the starry sky, filled with infinite longing.
Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, he believes that as long as he persists in his dream and pursues it bravely, he will definitely go further.
Whether it is movies or life, Lin Gao is ready to face everything.
And this trophy will be his motivation to continue moving forward.
After the film festival award ceremony, Lin Gao and Xingye returned to the hotel.
The joy of winning the award has not completely dissipated, and Lin Gao is already thinking about his next plan.
The success of this European Film Festival has strengthened his belief that Chinese films can not only go abroad, but also shine on the international stage.
Lin Gao was sitting at the desk in the room, with the trophy awarded by the film festival in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the engraving on the surface of the trophy.
This is the honor that belongs to "Westward Journey".
It is also an honor that belongs to him and the entire team.
"What's the next step?" Lin Gao asked himself softly.
At this moment, Wei knocked on the door repeatedly and walked in.
She held several documents in her hands and looked serious.
"Boss, there are several important things you need to make decisions next." She put the file on the table.
Lin Gao looked up at her and motioned for her to continue.
“First of all, regarding the international distribution of "Westward Journey", we have received film purchase intentions from many countries, especially the market response in Europe and North America has been very enthusiastic."
" At the same time, several domestic platforms are also fighting for copyright and want to premiere it on streaming media platforms."
Lin Gao flipped through the documents in his hand, quickly weighing various options in his mind.
“The North American market is very important.” He said after thinking for a moment.
"We need to negotiate as soon as possible to ensure that the film's release there goes smoothly."
Wei nodded repeatedly and continued: "Secondly, regarding your plans for your next film, many investors have already expressed their opinions They are very interested.”
“They want to know if you will take advantage of this enthusiasm to start the production of the next work as soon as possible.”
Lin Gao leaned on his chair. His fingers tapped lightly on the table.
Of course he understands that striking while the iron is hot is a key to the success of commercial films.
But he doesn't want to rush into action.
The success of "Westward Journey" made him more aware that a filmmaker's responsibility is not only to make profitable works, but also to provide valuable and in-depth content for the audience.
“I won’t rush to make a new movie.” Lin Gao finally said.
“Quality is more important than speed. I need time to conceive the core concept of the next work.”
