"After all, we are all first-time filmmakers, and being shortlisted is already a recognition of our abilities. This is a win-win venture!"
Seeing that Liang Zijin was still hesitating, Bai Shanshan, who had been listening from the side, grew a bit impatient. She jumped in to say, "Exactly, Director Liang! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Let's just go with it. Wu Hua's intuition is always spot on—I know this from personal experience. Almost everything he predicts comes true. There's nothing to lose anyway, so let's just try our luck!"
Liang Zijin finally made up her mind. "All right, I'll listen to you both. Trying our luck sounds good. When I get back, I'll look into the requirements for the Cannes Film Festival and find out how far in advance we need to apply. We can prepare on both fronts. Once the film is finished, we can release it first, and enter it into festivals at the same time—the two won't conflict at all!"
