Their prices were well worth the size of the room. It cost more than 1,000 US dollars a night, which was also the cheapest room.
Of course, the built-in rooms were also worth the money. Qin Guan's leather shoes had turned into a shoe polish and the velvet carpet in every corner of the room. Just the price of the antique furniture alone would allow one to live here for a day if they were to sell any one of the antique furniture pieces.
Abdul had even booked a royal suite for Qin Guan out of his own pocket.
The cinema, library and conference hall had been used by Sister Xue and the rest of the group.
The tourists, who liked to collect hotel souvenirs such as body wash and shampoo, couldn't understand Qin Guan's feelings when he stepped into the bathroom.
As the newest spokesperson of Hermès, he had not yet started to enjoy the perfumes and bath products of Hermès. In this large bathroom, they were casually thrown in the corner where the guests could take what they wanted.
Qin Guan threw it out of the bathtub with disdain. He had prepared it for her in case she was not used to the low-quality toiletries in the hotel.
When he came out of the bathroom again, he realized how comfortable it was to stay there.
First of all, if one stayed in the hotel for a long time and did not come out, there would be adapters who would deliver food to them at fixed times.
Even if he stayed in the hotel, he could still enjoy all the leisure and entertainment requirements of a vacationing tourist.
As a special guest of the festival, Qin Guan's first task was to watch the films in the independent theater in Dubai.
As a movie lover, there would definitely be people who would exclaim that such a job was satisfying.
But what if this film festival was a very new award, and its popularity and recognition were very low? What kind of film would participate in the competition?
Ignoring the films from China that Qin Guan had sent to the judges out of friendship, there would only be 66 films from 25 countries.
That was a pitifully small number for an international festival. They didn't even need to go through the preliminary selection process to get all the films nominated.
Because of that, the director of the Dubai Film Festival wisely listened to Qin Guan's suggestion.
What was supposed to be a spectacular red carpet show turned into an award ceremony that gathered all the fashion brands.
Since Dubai was a commercial city and a festival to promote tourism and popularity, it would be a good idea to balance the artistic quality of the film with the commercial quality.
Independent films and small productions could get high bonuses in Dubai. Using the opportunity of this film festival, they turned this place into a commercialized party!
It would attract the attention of the whole world and achieve its original goal.
Qin Guan rubbed his temples, which were swollen from watching the film too fast. He wrote down his favorite film and put it in the ballot box in the middle of the conference table.
In order to ensure the fairness of the votes, the votes would be counted by a third-party notary office. The judges could finally take a breather before the awards were announced and take a break from their busy schedule.
As the judges left their seats, the seats of the small bar next to the screening hall were lit up one by one. The colorful glaze-like lights lit up from every seat.
A professional bartender considerately served the judges from all over the country a glass of their specially mixed drinks to relieve the pressure of the high-intensity work.
Even though Qin Guan was sitting in an inconspicuous corner with his glass, he still attracted the attention of the other judges.
An Asian director finally found his target and walked up to Qin Guan.
"Whiskey, please."
The wine was pure in color, without any of the splendor or luxury of the city. The elegant man took the glass from the bartender and turned around, raising the glass towards Qin Guan.
"Director Li!"
It was too late for Qin Guan to find a place to hide, so he had no choice but to greet the director.
The director, who had been trying his best to avoid Qin Guan, had finally caught up with him.
This important figure, who was not supposed to appear on the judging list of this small film festival, finally decided to appear in person after failing to contact Qu's agency in the United States.
He had asked some of his friends and actors in China to get a general idea of Qin Guan's schedule. His participation was a pleasant surprise for the Dubai Film Festival. No shrewd businessman could refuse such an opportunity.
Translator: Lan _ Editor: Efydatia Lee successfully blocked Qin Guan's way. Qin Guan, who had already forgotten about the script of "Brokeback Mountain", had to face the persevering director again.
"You know why I came to you."
"Yes. How could I refuse?"
"Why? You wouldn't refuse the same scene in "Elephant". "
"It's not the same." Elephant "is about teenagers' confusion about sex. It's just a funeral song played before the end of life, regardless of gender.
It has nothing to do with love. It's just instinct. "
Li An looked at the man in front of him and couldn't say a word.
"Also, I'm a straight man. Let's not talk about the influence of this relatively conservative China first. I think a negative social impact ban order from the Chinese government might be thrown at me."
Hearing this reply, Li An finally took out his trump card.
"But you could be nominated for the highest award in America!"
"An Oscar?"
"Yes!"
"But I was nominated for both the Golden Globe and the Oscar this year."
"It's not the same as supporting roles."
"It doesn't make any difference to me though. As a true lover of film, supporting roles and leading roles are an affirmation of an actor's acting skills."
"It's a milestone, so why worry about reaching the top?"
