Chapter 472 Washington Film Festival

December in Washington is not the coldest time of the year, but it is winter after all, so it is still a little chilly.

As an important city in the state of Michigan, Washington is the home of the Kyushu Bank and the headquarters of various state organizations. It also has a large number of museums and cultural historical sites, and its architectural style is quite luxurious and grand.

"It is worthy of being Washington."

After getting off the plane, Lin Qiu looked at the brand new city of Michigan and smiled slightly.

Although he has been in Michigan for a while, Lin Qiu has been to California and Los Angeles the most. This is his first time in Washington.

Zhou Kai is more familiar with the place. He has been in Michigan for a long time since he was a child and has a deep understanding of the local customs and customs here. So he gave the most pertinent evaluation and said with a sneer:

"Not as good as Xiazhou."

"Except that there are more sisters of various colors."

"It's a pity that both of you have families, otherwise I will definitely take you to see it."

"Let's go, there will be three crews tonight, and a big party!"

...

Compared with other film festivals, the history of the Washington Film Festival is relatively short.

It was only established in 1990, and its style is more "commercial". There are many awards, including 27 awards of various sizes, which is the most among the four major film festivals.

Among the four major film festivals in Kyushu, the Berlin Film Festival is a veteran film festival, and the competition in Cannes is the most intense, because it is followed by the environmental schedule in June, July and August, and the Venice Film Festival focuses on relatively "new" film types and film forms.

The Washington Film Festival can be described in one word-"blockbuster gathering".

Because it is the last film festival to impact the Kyushu Oscar Film Award next year, the competition is fierce.

In the past, Xiazhou did not pay attention because the directors of Xiazhou had no competitiveness, but now it is completely different.

Zhou Kai's "The Invincible Hulk", Ye Zhiyuan's "Witness for the Prosecution" and Lin Qiu's "Manchester by the Sea" will all land on this film festival at the same time, so how could the audience of Xiazhou not pay attention!

In Xiazhou alone, there are these three competitive films!

Ye Zhiyuan's "Identity" became famous at the Washington Film Festival, and gradually became familiar to Jiuzhou fans.

The screening will last for a week, and Lin Qiu's "Manchester by the Sea" will be in the last three days, with a screening every evening, a total of three screenings, the first one is for the media, and the last two are for fans.

The opening film of this Washington Film Festival is none other than "The Incredible Hulk" directed by Zhou Kai!

As a work after the Marvel series "Iron Man", "The Incredible Hulk" has received no less attention than Lin Qiu's new film, especially in Jiuzhou, and Zhou Kai has experienced all the doubts that Lin Qiu has not encountered for a long time.

The film festival is not a must-go place for film promotion.

But if you "drop by" like Lin Qiu and the other two, it will still have some promotional effect.

After all, Changan has confidence in the quality of the three films.

The Washington Film Festival was held in the DC area. The hotel was luxurious. Standing on the balcony of the room, you can enjoy the night view of Washington.

"Director Lin Qiu, I toast you a glass!"

"Director Lin Qiu, long time no see. I heard that you are preparing a new movie."

Lin Qiu was holding a glass of red wine. When he saw the man and woman coming towards him, he immediately smiled and greeted them:

"Long time no see!"

The two people in front of him were Blatt and Sofia, one of the leading actors of "Manchester by the Sea".

But Sofia's dress and posture are completely different from when she was filming the movie.

To put it simply, the skirt is almost split to the chest, and there is very little fabric on the chest, which is about to come out, making Lin Qiu embarrassed to look directly.

"I introduced Rob to Director Lin Qiu."

"It must be a wonderful movie!"

This is how the American people speak. However, after the filming of "Manchester by the Sea", the American actors of the entire crew admired and admired Lin Qiu, an oriental director.

Attending the Washington Film Festival, Blatt and his friends would not be nervous, not to mention that the goal of "Manchester by the Sea" is not only the Washington Film Festival.

There were quite a few participants in the dinner before the opening of the Washington Film Festival, but Lin Qiu has never particularly liked such noisy and social occasions. He chatted with a few familiar American actors and directors and went back to the room.

But what was interesting was that he met Zhou Kai in the hotel elevator.

Next to Zhou Kai, there was also a white beauty wearing a light blue chiffon dress and a precious necklace around her neck. When the two saw Lin Qiu, they were also a little surprised.

"Did you finish drinking so quickly?"

Lin Qiu glanced at Zhou Kai, who immediately smiled and introduced to Lin Qiu:

"Natalie, you know."

Natalie, who was beside Zhou Kai, blushed a little, but still greeted him immediately:

"Hello, Director Lin Qiu, I'm Natalie."

Lin Qiu smiled, "I know, Zhou Kai told me that you are very special in his heart."

"If there is a chance, let's work together on a movie."

Zhou Kai and Natalie's fate is not one or two years, but they met when they were studying in Mizhou after graduating from college.

At that time, Natalie was still an unknown little actress, and was tricked by Zhou Kai to watch "Hachiko" together.

But now Natalie can be regarded as very popular in Mizhou, and her popularity is quite high.

In the past few years, because Zhou Kai has been focusing on movies, he has restrained his private life a lot, but he has always been in contact with Natalie.

What Lin Qiu said is true, Natalie is different from others to Zhou Kai.

But whether the two can succeed is uncertain.

And even if they can succeed, it is estimated that in the future...

Forget it, anyway, this is Zhou Kai's own business, who can tell what will happen in the future.

...

At this Washington Film Festival, the appearance of the three major film crews in Xiazhou has attracted much attention!

This is the first time that so many Xiazhou directors have appeared at the Kyushu Film Festival, and all three films have been shortlisted for the main competition unit. As soon as they stepped on the red carpet, thousands of spotlights gathered on these three crews.

When walking on the red carpet, Lin Qiu could clearly feel that compared with the first time on the red carpet in Cannes, the media from Jiuzhou this time all showed a lot more respect to the filmmakers in Xiazhou from the bottom of their hearts!

Today, as Changan Film and Television Company has a better and better reputation, there are fewer stars, actors, and Internet celebrities in the entire Xiazhou entertainment circle who dare to rub the "Changan" red carpet. In the past, it was fine to rub it, but now they still rub it. Isn't this asking for scolding?

Times are developing. In the past, those stars only needed to walk on the red carpet with a thick skin, put on a few poses, bring their own media, go back to buy hot searches, and make a title or news like "Showing" and the audience in Xiazhou would blow it up.

Especially their own fans, they can fool them.

But now, Changan Film and Television Company can be said to have torn off the fig leaf of many stars and film and television companies in the circle.

All works speak with quality.

At least now Xiazhou audiences can be sure that it is not that Xiazhou people cannot write good works or make good movies, but that the money is not spent in the right place. It is a problem of capital, artists, and actors, not Xiazhou!
