Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 876: Superstitiously Trusting Sheng Tang

The awards at the Venice Film Festival are divided into the Golden Lion Award and the Silver Lion Award, with the Golden Lion Award being much more prestigious than the Silver Lion Award.

"Little Mansion" received the Golden Lion Award, especially the most prestigious Best Actor award, which caused a sensation back home.

The entire film industry took pride in it.

Sheng Tang did not participate in that film; she was merely an observer.

She later went to watch the film as well.

The lead actor was a veteran actor in his early forties, his acting particularly superb, and Sheng Tang was deeply impressed.

"Little Mansion" tells the story of survival, hunger, loss of land, and the growth of children against the backdrop of war, which perfectly matched the taste of the jury at that year’s Venice Film Festival.

"The Path to Heights" and "Genius Girl" taught Sheng Tang that if two films on the same timeline have achieved great success in a previous timeline, they could not possibly remain obscure in this timeline.

Therefore, "Little Mansion" might bring something significant to Ding Ruifan.

Ding Ruifan’s acting skills were also very solid.

He is a method actor, and his acting would be well-suited for the development in "Little Mansion".

If its preparation time were longer, Sheng Tang would even want to personally play a female role.

She took the script and walked out.

She had already been busy for over two hours.

Mrs. Ding did not ask her about the script first but instead had refreshments and freshly squeezed orange juice brought over to let Sheng Tang rest.

Sheng Tang handed the script to Ding Ruifan.

Ding Ruifan glanced at it; it was a third-tier script, meaning a script he might never consider.

He only read first-tier scripts; second-tier and third-tier were reviewed by his wife and agent.

"This one?" Ding Ruifan flipped through it, "’Little Mansion’? A period drama?"

Sheng Tang nodded.

Her mind was indeed a bit tired, so when the servant brought over the freshly squeezed orange juice, she took it and had a sip.

"Sister-in-law, Sister Ying, do you have any impressions of this script?" Sheng Tang asked.

Mrs. Ding stood up, walked over to her husband’s side, and started reading.

She read a few lines, shook her head: "No impression at all, probably it was too bland in its conception, so it was abandoned."

Sister Ying also said, "I have no impression either."

Ding Ruifan finished reading it and handed it to Sister Ying and Mrs. Ding to read together.

The group briefly understood the script and then looked at Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang said: "I think this script is very good. Maybe it would be difficult to achieve much at the box office, but it can be sent to the European Film Festival for exhibition.

Hunger and war surprisingly align with current topics of interest to Europeans, although the film narrates China’s wartime period.

If it can win a major award at the three major European film festivals, I think any domestic awards from then on should be at Brother’s discretion."

Her words left everyone slightly stunned.

Mrs. Ding was skeptical: "You think it has a chance to win a major European film festival award?"

"It might win a highly significant award," Sheng Tang said, "It’s just a matter of when it will begin filming. If it doesn’t conflict with the schedule of my new movie, Brother should give me a role."

"You really have high hopes for it?" Ding Ruifan became faintly excited.

The films Sheng Tang saw potential in, "The Path to Heights" and "Genius Girl", both succeeded.

Even if they failed, it would only be a failed art film.

The art films Ding Ruifan had filmed over the years were not particularly ideal.

He truly felt intrigued.

Mrs. Ding and Sister Ying also thought "better safe than sorry", what if Sheng Tang turned out to be right?

Even if not, Ding Ruifan’s current standing would not be affected by a failed art film.

"Alright, quickly contact the producer, let’s get busy!" Ding Ruifan was brimming with confidence, "If it wins a major award at the European Film Festival, I’ll definitely have to worship Junior sister like a living Bodhisattva."

Sheng Tang was amused by him.

Everyone laughed.
