Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 356 Intense Competition

It took less than two seconds for Mingmei to send out the email before receiving a receipt.

"The submission deadline has expired, thank you for your support."

Fortunately, it is an automatic reply.

This gave Mingmei a false alarm.

She didn't hold out much hope, though.

The other party's system may treat it as spam and throw it in the trash until it is finally deleted without the owner of the mailbox even looking at it.

But what Mingmei didn't expect was that when the second class ended at noon the next day, there was a notification on her mobile MSN that there was a new email.

It turned out to be a reply!
I personally think this "Leave Me" short film is very good, please upload the film to the XXX website immediately, sign up according to the procedure, and wait for the good news.

At the end of the email, he said humorously that it is best to attach French subtitles, because there are many old men like me who do not understand Chinese in the jury.

Dominic.

what!
At that time, Mingmei was a little anxious, and she didn't expect to translate, so she sent it directly.

It seems that this Dominic is very interesting.

Of course Mingmei knew him, she was also a well-known French director and film critic.

Mingmei didn't know French, but it wasn't difficult, and soon she found a handsome blond guy—his classmate Montpellier, from Lyon, France.

"Hey Montpellier," Mingmei called out to the boy chatting with his classmates in front of the classroom.

"Hey bright!" Montpellier smiled and ran over enthusiastically.

"what's up?"

"I'm in a hurry, can you help me put a Chinese micro-movie with French subtitles?"

"OK, no problem, but I don't understand Chinese."

"I translate into English, you then translate into French."

"OK! Let's go to the library."

In the library, Mingmei turned on her mobile phone, and while playing the movie in a low voice, she translated the Chinese on the screen into English and wrote it on paper, which was then translated into French by Montpellier.

"Oh, my God, who made this film? The structure is so novel and ingenious! And you, Mingmei's performance in the play is also very exciting, so wonderful!" Montpellier couldn't help being surprised after watching it. call out.

This guy.
You said that the result of this film is novel and ingenious, I believe it, but the acting is wonderful?Obviously flattering.

How many shots do I have in total in the movie?

"Shhh, keep your voice down." Mingmei looked at the students around her looking at her, and hurriedly reminded her.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Montpellier hurriedly apologized, and then asked, "Mingmei, which famous director in your country made the film?"

"It's my brother-in-law!" Mingmei looked proud.

"Oh, the brother-in-law you mentioned who can write and sing? What a genius!"

"of course"

As Mingmei said, she collected the translated French, then went back to post-production and added subtitles, which was also very simple for him.

"Thank you, Montpelier, I'm going back to the dormitory, I have to finish the subtitles quickly." Mingmei stood up.

Montpellier also stood up and asked. "Is this film going to the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival?"

"Yes, although it's a bit late to sign up, Mr. Dominique still agrees to run." Mingmei whispered as she walked.

"Director Dominique is such a good man, how could he bury this excellent film? And the beautiful Miss Bright performed wonderfully?"

Flattering again!

Mingmei pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.

"Liangmei, do you have time tonight? I invite you to watch a movie? It is the latest movie made by the famous director Andrew in England!" Montpellier took the opportunity to say.

"I'm sorry, I have to review my homework tonight." Mingmei refused: "But you helped me, should I invite you? How about a cup of coffee in the afternoon?"

"Okay then, drinking coffee is also a pleasant thing, but I treat you"

The French Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival kicked off on May 5st, Labor Day. It is said that more than 1 spectators and 16 filmmakers participated this time, with an unprecedented scale.

Of course, more than 3000 films entered the competition, coming from more than 70 countries around the world, and the competition was fierce.

According to the selection regulations of the film festival: all short films are divided into international competition unit, domestic competition unit (French local films), experimental competition unit (the jury will select the experimental competition unit from the pre-selected films of the international competition unit and domestic competition unit jury) videos. No need to submit separately) and Pop-Up units.

"Leave Me" from China will participate in the international competition, and about 120 selected films will compete for 20 awards.

Before participating in the film, the most popular ones were the famous American independent director Liam's film "Children From Heaven" and the Lebanese director Karam's short film "Oh, Lover" reflecting the war.

The former won the Best Film Award at the Manhattan Short Film Festival in the United States, while the latter won the Gold Award at the Tehran International Short Film Festival.

But soon, a piece of news circulated at the film festival. A micro-movie from China saw a rising number of viewers. Like a dark horse, it entered the battle and was shortlisted for the film festival awards.

The highest award of the film festival: It is still unclear who will win the film festival award.

Mingmei waited anxiously for the news, and went online every day to follow the latest trends of the film festival.

It was no surprise to her to be shortlisted for the film festival. If her brother-in-law couldn't be shortlisted for this micro film, it would only mean that the judges were blind!

But she was not sure whether she could win the gold award at the film festival, the highest award.

She has seen two other top-rated shorts online, "Children From Heaven" and "Oh Lover."

The former is a very touching story about a child with autism, while the latter is a story about a couple's previous life and death in the face of war, which makes people cry.

She shed tears for both short films.

Today is Friday, and it is also the busiest day in the college. In the evening, there will be movies, dances, and music parts. Students who have been busy all week can enjoy themselves to the fullest.

Mingmei lay on her bed but remained motionless.

"Mingmei, come dance with me, there are so many handsome guys." Elena said to Mingmei while putting on makeup.

"No!" Mingmei shook her head.

"Then what are you going to do? Is someone asking you out? That big stupid Montpellier?"

Montpellier is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and Ai Lilian is only 1.6 meters tall, so he is called a big fool.

"He asked me out, and I declined."

"Yes, that big stupid guy is not handsome or cute at all." Ai Lilian said: "How about I introduce you, my Italian fellow Alessandro? He is handsome and has a rich family!"

"Then why don't you go after him? As we Chinese say, the moon is the first to get close to the water." Mingmei replied.

"Too naive, too straightforward." Ai Lilian shrugged: "I like mature, reserved men, oriental men like your brother-in-law. How about you introduce me to your brother-in-law? You said there is a man in London Beautiful Italian women are waiting for him."

"You?!" Ming Mei angrily picked up the book in her hand as if to type.

Elena laughed.

"Okay. How could I compete with you and my good friend for a man? But, Mingmei, don't worry, your brother-in-law's movie will definitely win an award."

She knew what Mingmei was worried about.

"Lend your auspicious words."

Elena left, and Mingmei was the only one left in the dormitory.

　Thank you Xicheng Xue Erlang for your reward, and thank you book friends 20171209133328642, Ke, Xi, book friends 16090811558309, and the monthly ticket for drinking this cup of milk tea
