Chapter Forty-Nine: He Can Only Slaughter Gods!(Part I) (Second Update!)
There is one to say.
There are not many Chinese films in Cannes.
But very few have actually won awards......
Not to mention a grand prize like the Palme d'Or.
Originally, Brother World's film won this award, and it was also the only film in China to win the Palme d'Or.
And in this world......
So far, no Chinese film has won this award.
Hitherto......
History is zero.
Of course, since 1995, Chinese films have participated in the Cannes Film Festival every year, and then every year the Cannes Film Festival is called the most promising year by all fans and insiders of the film industry.
And then......
Every year I hope, and every year I am disappointed.
Of course, this year is the most promising year in the eyes of the entire Chinese film circle, and "Lighthouse Light" was highly evaluated during the test screening, and many official judges expressed their willingness to let "Lighthouse Light" win this award......
As for the outcome?
This is unknown.
Many domestic filmmakers are not optimistic about "Lighthouse Light", and they have been completely disappointed with the gimmick of the most promising year hyped by the media.
This year, that's probably it.
As for Gates of the Underworld......
Although "The Gate of the Underworld" has indeed won a lot of box office in China, many people feel that it is much worse in the end.
His opponent this year is Kio Kimura of "Gates of Hades......
Although Kimura Mufu's reputation in China collapsed overnight, in the international arena, Kimura Mufu's influence is indeed very powerful.
Basically, as long as he participates in film festivals, there is no one who really loses.
Although "The Gate of Hades" looks like a god, many viewers can't understand it......
But......
Isn't it possible that many judges like this kind of niche southeast?
.......................................
There are still two hours left before the awards begin.
In these two hours, everyone hopes that they can cross the sea at this time and show their magic powers, and stay in front of the media for a few more minutes.
However, there are too many people, many Internet celebrities, second- and third-tier artists and some outdated goddesses don't know where to get an audience invitation, scratching their heads on the red carpet, and they want to rub on the red carpet for a while.
The skinny monkey and the yellow-haired two are refreshing.
They originally wanted to come over to watch the ball in a civilized way, but some Internet celebrities are too beautifully dressed, one grid after another, and they can almost see the exquisite roundness, so that they can't resist that kind of civilized watching the ball at all......
Sometimes, people really work hard to be famous!
Thin Monkey and Yellow Hair feel that their trip is really worthwhile, not only can they rub on the red carpet, but they can even observe it up close, and even when they walk the red carpet, many Internet celebrities see the invitation in the hands of Thin Monkey and Yellow Hair, and their eyes light up, and they take the initiative to run over and hold the hands of the two, and the two of them instantly feel the most so-called happiness in life, probably nothing more than that.
Of course......
Reporters will shoot the skinny monkey yellow hair, but not too much......
They are not the protagonists.
Disney girl Elaine, director Joel, and Hollywood's Orangutan Synva are the darlings of the festival.
When these people got out of the car, there was a burst of screams, and then countless people from all directions surrounded them, and the reporters were as excited as if they had smelled some fragrant meat, and they all rushed to grab ......
Cai Jiaming is envious!
In China he has such treatment, but in this kind of international film festival.
He really didn't.
Not only did he not, but Shen Lang was also mediocre in this kind of film festival, at most, some Chinese reporters excitedly surrounded Shen Lang, asking Shen Lang how he felt about the film festival, and then what he thought.
On the contrary, it was Zhou Fu......
"Hello Mr. Zhou, can you easily talk about your thoughts on the Best Actor Award? Judge, Mr. Portu thinks your performance in "Lighthouse Light" is full marks, may I ask, what do you think of yourself......
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I heard that you took "The Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology", and I heard that you played an honest cannibal pervert in the movie...... Many people are looking forward to the release of this movie, do you think, are you influenced by this movie?"
"Hello Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the history of the Palme d'Or in China?
"Hello Mr. Zhou Fu, some people say that you used to be a food delivery person, and then you changed after meeting a Chinese director, is it true?"
“......”
“......”
Zhou Fu is very good in Cannes.
In "Lighthouse Light", Zhou Fu's acting skills are quite outstanding, and many judges have publicly said that Zhou Fu must win the award, and "Lighthouse Light" must not return empty-handed......
Then, with the support of these judges, Zhou Fu instantly became a favorite of reporters.
In addition to these, in Zhou Fu's new movie "The Seven Deadly Sins of Psychology", Zhou Fu frightened the crew and the news was also taken out and flipped through......
Many reporters think that Zhou Fu came over this time to compete for the Cannes actor!
After facing so many reporters, Zhou Fu was also a little busy for a while, but fortunately, Xiao Chu prepared a note for Zhou Fu to answer very early, Zhou Fu took advantage of the time to peek at the note, and then began to answer the reporters' words one by one.
Of course, Shen Lang also rubbed a wave of Zhou Fu's popularity at this time, and talked about the scene of his first movie "Our Youth".
Of course......
On the edge of the red carpet, Shen Lang was truly aware of Kimura's international influence.
Countless reporters followed from outside the red carpet to inside the red carpet, snatching most of the people's shots......
Kimura Kio.
It's really well-known internationally.
After all......
This year's "Gates of Hades" is also the biggest hit film of the Palme d'Or, in addition to this, Kimura has performed very well at various film festivals......
In short, in the eyes of the reporters, Shen Lang is underground, while Kimura Mufu is in the sky.
Many reporters also think that according to the pomp, Shen Lang will probably become a joke.
While walking through the red carpet, Kimura Kio glanced at Shen Lang intentionally.
Shen Lang happened to look at Kimura Kio.
Shen Lang felt that Kimura Kio's eyes were full of condescension and disdain for mockery.
Kimura Kio, on the other hand, felt that Shen Lang's eyes were calm from beginning to end, especially the smile that appeared at the corner of his mouth.
It's true!
Very unpleasant!
Then, he glanced at Chu He next to Shen Lang.
He probably already knew why he was like this last night.
In fact, under the gaze of so many reporters, Kimura can fully add fuel and vinegar to talk about what happened in the hotel yesterday.
In this way, the hotel will probably lose its reputation......
However, Kimura felt that it was better to wait for the award to be held later.
In this way, the effect is better.
Wait!
What you give me, I will double and give you all back.
In this brief eye contact, Kimura walked across the red carpet and walked into the venue.
"Shen Lang, are you okay?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay...... I'll take you by the hand, let's go. ”
"Good. ”
On the red carpet, naturally, Chu He held Shen Lang's hand, and then, the two slowly walked through a road surrounded by many reporters.
Shen Lang squinted his eyes and looked in front of him in the direction where Kimura Kio disappeared.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.
As a matter of fact......
Kimura at this moment is like a god.
And Shen Lang, like a humble one, can't be regarded as a challenger of the challenger.
..........................................
After entering the venue, Shen Lang and Chu He were arranged in their respective seats.
I don't know if it's the organizer's reason, or whatever......
The place where Shen Lang was sitting was next to Kimura Mufu.
At the first Venice Awards, Kimura won the Best Director Award.
And now in Cannes, Kimura Kio is coming in a menacing manner......
"Mr. Shen Lang......"
"Mr. Kimura!"
"Mr. Shen Lang, you should know what awaits you...... I'm looking forward to it!"
"Me too, Mr. Kimura. ”
“......”
Kimura and Shen Lang chatted briefly, looking very polite.
However, both of them sensed the sharpness of the other's words......
In "The Gate of the Underworld", Shen Lang will definitely not win the Best Actor Award, in the whole movie, he and Cai Jiaming are only supporting roles, and it is impossible to be the best actor, but Zhou Fu has great hopes.
Zhou Fu is an artist in Shen Lang's company, so even if Shen Lang returns empty-handed, Shen Lang will not be a tragedy.
Best Director, when Shen Lang saw the major directors who were shortlisted this time, Shen Lang also realized that this possibility was unlikely.
Why?
There are so many awesome directors, directors like Joel are here, Shen Lang, probably can't compete......
Best Palme d'Or, not to mention this, the most promising Chinese movie is probably "Lighthouse Light", and other movies are probably foils......
Best Actress Award......
This one!
Zhang Lu and Chu He are hopeful, but ......
Zhang Lu couldn't come because she was sick, and although Chu He's role in "The Gate of the Underworld" was remarkable, it was ......
The other shortlisted films are equally awesome......
From the perspective of strength, although the box office of "Gates of Hades" is not as good as "Gates of the Underworld......
But Shen Lang's chances of winning are really not good......
But!
The word miracle is because someone created it, isn't it?
Moreover, Gates of the Underworld is a miracle in itself!
Shen Lang narrowed his eyes.
Look at the first award......
Best Screenplay Award!
"Mr. Kimura, you are like a god high above!" Shen Lang suddenly looked at Kimura and suddenly said this.
"Mr. Shen Lang, you finally realized the gap?"
"However, if you win, you are the God of Slaughter!"
Shen Lang then added.
....................................
Cannes at seven o'clock in the evening.
Three o'clock in the morning in Huaxia......
"Mr. Zhang, your body can't be dragged any longer, we have to have surgery!
"Wait a little longer!"
"Mr. Zhang......"
"Give it to me, twenty minutes!"
"Well, though, it's only twenty minutes at most, otherwise the success rate of the operation may be ......."
"I know ......"
Zhang Sheng stared at the screen.
On the screen, it was a live broadcast of Cannes, and Zhang Sheng specially asked you to turn it around.
He has that right.
He understood that if he closed his eyes, he might never be able to open them again.
So, he's going to wait!
If, Kimura Kio is now a god, and Shen Lang wants to win......
He can only slaughter gods!
Probably, in twenty minutes......
When he heard the award for Best Screenplay announced......
"Congratulations, Mr. Shen Lang!"
“......”
Zhang Sheng trembled and kept panting......
And then......
I closed my eyes.
"Let's get started!"
