After her assistant arrived, Jiujiu began her intense preparation work.
First, she had to find a director and choose an actor.
Just like before, Jiujiu would only find actors who she felt were suitable. She would not choose actors who had a lot of popularity or fame.
Popularity and fame would only help the film's exposure. However, those who did not fit the script would lose the opportunity to become a classic even if they won the box office.
Jiujiu would not do this kind of business that seemed profitable but was actually losing money.
Jiujiu wrote down the candidates she had chosen on a piece of paper and handed it to her assistant to help her contact people. After that, she began to edit the script.
This script was more of a literary film.
It was about love, marriage, and life.
Love was like malt candy. It was so sweet that it was sickening. When one entered marriage, the sweetness of love was added to the trivialities of marriage. It was not as sweet as it was at the beginning. It was like a piece of candy with an unknown filling. Life was like a plain biscuit.
He could fill his stomach, but it did not have the sweetness of malt candy and the surprise of filling candy. It was so dull that it was annoying.
This film was about a university couple from love to marriage and life. In the end, they divorced because of trivial matters.
This film was more like a literary documentary.
It recorded the process of a couple from their sweetness to their eventual breakup.
This script was not bad, but Jiujiu felt that it could be better.
Jiujiu worked hard to edit the script, and her assistant also worked hard to contact people.
With the big name of Senmiao Entertainment, as long as Jiujiu liked someone, there was basically no one who would not agree.
By the time Jiujiu finished editing the script, almost all the people were found.
And the script was about to officially start shooting.
Coincidentally, although Director Chen from Jiujiu's last TV series wasn't very famous, his classmates were very famous. Director Wang happened to be the director of Jiujiu's previous TV series. He directly pulled Director Chen from Jiujiu's previous TV series to be the assistant director.
Originally, Jiujiu wanted to interfere with the director's work, but when Director Chen came, she was instantly overjoyed. The original two directors immediately became three directors on the spot. Moreover, they were the kind of directors who would exchange their experiences whenever they had nothing to do.
Originally, the director that Jiujiu found was famous for being strict. Now that Jiujiu was involved, he was even stricter.
It was a literary film, and it took almost half a year to finish filming.
After filming, post-production was handed over to Steamed Bun.
After that, Director Wang expressed to Jiujiu that he hoped to continue working with Jiujiu in the future.
There weren't many actors with good acting skills. An actress like Jiujiu who could write, direct, and act was even rarer.
If Jiujiu wasn't already married, he really wanted to introduce Jiujiu to his son.
What a pity.
After Jiujiu finished filming, she went back to being a small-time streamer.
When she had nothing to do, she would shoot a short video and post it online. When she was in the mood, she would broadcast for a few hours.
Although Jiujiu didn't appear often to make her presence known, because Jiujiu had a stunning beauty and a masterpiece that stunned everyone, many people still came to watch Jiujiu's broadcasts.
Jiujiu was uploading videos and being a streamer until the day of the movie's release.
People nowadays lived very busy lives every day. In layman's terms, life was a little too hard and needed a little sweetness to complement it.
Therefore, whether it was TV dramas or movies, the kind that looked more refreshing and sweet were the mainstream.
Even though Jiujiu's movie was well-made and her acting was top-notch, because it was too realistic and exposed love, marriage, and life too thoroughly, so those who liked it liked it very much and those who didn't like it were very indifferent.
Until the screening, the movie's box office was very average.
Although it didn't lose much, it didn't make much either.
As the saying goes, there's no fire inside the wall.
The movie that wasn't very popular in China was sent to the International Film Festival and directly won three trophies. Among them, the Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Film awards were the greatest recognition of Jiujiu's talent.
When Director Wang received the Best Film award from the person who gave the award, he was a little stunned.
This was because the International Film Festival was famous for having double standards.
There were many Chinese films that participated in the competition, but unless it was a particularly amazing film, it would basically be awarded to a local film.
In history, there were only two Chinese films that had won this honor, and both of them only won one award.
This was the first time in history that a film like this had won so many awards.
The director held the trophy in his hand and tears welled up in his eyes.
The director looked at the fair-skinned, yellow-haired foreigner sitting below, then looked at Jiujiu sitting in the distance and smiling at him. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm very happy that the International Film Festival has awarded me this award. This award is a high recognition of me and my team.
This glory belongs to me and my entire team. Thank you to our cinematographer, thank you to our lighting, thank you to our scriptwriter and all the staff. Lastly, I would like to thank the female lead of this film, Ms. Lin Lele.
Ms. Lin Lele is not only the female lead of this film, she is also the screenwriter and director of this film. She has participated in all the work.
Half of this award belongs to our female lead, Ms. Lin Lele.
Finally, I'd like to thank my wife who has been with me for half of my life. Today is our 35th wedding anniversary. I'm sorry that I can't be by your side, but I think I already have the best gift in the world.
My dear, I love you. "
The director's acceptance speech received thunderous applause, and Jiujiu also received countless screen time.
Not only did she win the Best Female Lead Award, but she also took on the role of screenwriter, assistant director, and other roles of this outstanding film.
Just the Best Female Lead Award alone was enough to prove Jiujiu's excellence. The other awards were like flowers on the crown, making it even more dazzling.
There were many outstanding films competing for the International Film Festival this time, and there were many films that were highly valued. Jiujiu's film, which had a very low box office in China, could be said to be the most unpopular.
No one had expected that the film that everyone thought was the least of their expectations would not only win an award, but also so many awards.
As for Jiujiu, she was involved in three awards. Although there was only one trophy, she was truly outstanding.
Previously, there was no news of Jiujiu after filming one television series. Many people thought that Jiujiu was a flash in the pan. Only now did they realize that Jiujiu was not a flash in the pan. She was pursuing an even greater goal.
