Chapter 315
Linda and Lina were attending a niche Filmfestival
Why was it considered niche? The directors and films invited were not widely known and could be described as obscure. While Linda wasn’t completely unknown, her work fell under the niche categories.
She had a significant reason for attending this event. Nowadays, many young people have started showing interest in obscure things. In fact, some even preferred things that weren’t popular simply because they felt they were less mainstream.
This end had been well–known and understandable among the youth.
Linda chose to attend the festival both to boost the ratings of her previous film and to generate buzz for her upcoming film.
“you have to admit that this event is pretty niche,” Linda said.
Lina was used to attending glamorous award ceremonies with her talents. Seeing an event that resembled a modest wedding was quite a shock for her.
“The organizers might have their unique take on
take on the term ‘niche.“”
Linda wasn’t entirely understanding, but she respected the organizer’s p
perspective.
“Do you know any of these directors?” she asked.
Lina glanced around. “Well, if you insist, there are few directors I know. But I can’t say for sure whether they know me.”
Most of her social circle consisted of industrial giants. Directors in Linda’s category were rarely famous, and Lina wasn’t keen on mingling with them. Directors typically had their agendas, and their constant approaches meant they were looking
g to extract resources.
“I’m not interested in becoming someone else’s resource pool,” Lina added.
“So, do you think our work has a chance of winning any awards? Linda asked.
“Who am I supposed to ask about that? I don’t know the organizers well, and they don’t tell me in advance who will win or not,” Lina replied.
Lina was speaking the truth. At the more prominent festivals, she might have known the award winners ahead of time, but for such a niche event, even the organizers were unspecified, making it impossible to predict winners.
“Jimmy mentioned that you two attended an event together and that you scolded him.” Li
