Chapter 229: Closing Ceremony

After arriving at the hotel, Chen Yongren chatted with them for a while, then went to dinner, took a break at noon, and recuperated to attend tonight's award ceremony.

At half past five in the afternoon, the closing red carpet of the 66th Cannes International Film Festival began.

Cannes, France.

The "Teatro d'Or" is located on Boulevard de Cannes, built in 1927, and it is funny to say, in the thirties of the last century, Graumann, who was revered as "Monsieur de Cannes", was a well-known figure in the French film industry.

After making the money to become a tycoon, Grauman wanted to build a first-class theater on Cannes Road to match his wealth and fame, so that he could make a name for himself through the ages.

But after the theater was built, it didn't have a name, and everyone wanted to name it after a very cultured name! Later, it was suggested that it would be better to name it after the "golden palm", the most common green plant in Cannes, which is almost evergreen all year round.

It represents perseverance and eternal luxury, and is the landscape tree of this generation, which is the origin of the "Palme d'Or" in Cannes.

Generally speaking, in those days when there were no other big theaters, the Cannes awards ceremony was basically held here. And the top prize is also called the "Palme d'Or".

And today's Palme d'Or Theater has rarely ushered in a large number of shortlisted Chinese filmmakers, they are Chen Yongren and his party.

Outside Cannes Avenue, Chen Xiaotang and the others had already gotten out of the car, and under the strong light of countless magnesium lights, everyone slowly walked onto the Avenue of Stars.

Unlike the Oscars' Walk of Fame, the Cannes Walk of Fame does not have any palm prints, or footprints.

On this road full of literary atmosphere, what is preserved are the prints of those who contributed wonderful films to art.

Yes, when you see the familiar faces on the walls on both sides, you will know that this is a star-studded nebula pattern, forever engraved in the history of world cinema.

Walking on the Walk of Fame in Cannes, everyone feels a sense of solemnity and nostalgia for history, and no one needs to remind everyone that they are quietly savoring this atmosphere.

After walking for less than a few minutes, a long red carpet appeared in front of everyone, and it was undeniable that the destination, the Palme d'Or Theater was in front of it.

"Let's go over together!" Chen Yongren looked at everyone, originally according to the rules of this kind of occasion, they usually appear in pairs and walk the red carpet together.

For example, Chen Yongren can hold hands with a female companion or join hands with crew members, but Chen Yongren is preparing for the big guys to move together to form a rare Chinese army on the red carpet.

At this time, a white old man ran over and bowed to Chen Yongren first. Then he said: "Dear Mr. Tan Yong Yan, hello, I am the director of the Palme d'Or Theatre, you can call me John Joe." ”

"Oh, hello, is there something wrong?" Chen Yongren looked at the old man, unable to think of anything he had come to find him.

"That's right, because your fame has reached the requirements of the Cannes Walk of Fame, so we hope to be able to take a picture of you and engrave it on the nebula map, I wonder if you have time?" John Joe looked at Chen Yongren expectantly.

They wanted to shoot it a few years ago, but due to various reasons, of course, Chen Yongren was not available, so it was delayed until now.

"Oh, of course, it's an honor!" Chen Yongren was stunned for a moment, and then said very gentlemanly.

In fact, Chen Yongren didn't care about whether he left his traces here for a year, for him, his mentality has long been beyond these so-called worldly scenery.

At this time, several staff members came over with cameras prepared in advance, and famous painters with oil painting boards for depiction; first, those cameramen took a large photo of Chen Yongren, and then took out a pen and watched Chen Yongren write his English name and Chinese name on the photo.

The famous printmaker then began to take photographs and paint quickly, and when the painting was ready, it would be mounted on a nebula, and from then on, Chen Yongren would become the first Chinese superstar to engrave Cannes.

In fact, in Hollywood, Chen Yongren has been invited several times to leave palm prints or footprints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, but Chen Yongren politely refused, not that Chen Yongren is troublesome, but that he feels that the Hollywood Walk of Fame stars are too flooded, and it makes no sense to stuff them in.

As for the reason why he left a portrait here this time, to put it bluntly, everyone has invited you in person, so many media reporters are around, it is not good to refuse directly, and just take a photo, it will be very soon, so Chen Yongren agreed.

Subsequently, Chen Daoming was also invited to become the second Chinese superstar to engrave Cannes.

The scene he did had been recorded by journalists from all over the world, and it was also broadcast live on French television throughout the world, and everyone who liked Chen Yongren felt a sense of excitement.

"Dear Daren has left a mark on us in France!"

"Wow, I'm so happy, I don't even have such glory on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, Chen is willing to leave a mark!"

……

The most excited are undoubtedly those Frenchmen, in their opinion, Chen Yongren is the loveliest person in the world at this moment, and they France is the luckiest country in the world.

Of course, the saddest thing is the people of the United States, who accuse the Hollywood Walk of Fame of incompetence, and the imprint of the great Chen Yongren was preempted by these Frenchmen who speak like birds.

Countless Chinese netizens have accused the Hollywood Walk of Fame of being incompetent.

The Cannes red carpet scene at this time.

"Alright, good luck!" John Joe was a little excited after completing his task, shook Chen Yongren's hand with a smile and turned to leave.

Afterwards, the group came to the front of the red carpet laid out at the entrance of the Palme d'Or Theater with joy.

Originally, Chen Yongren was arranged to appear in the finale, but he wanted to finish it quickly, so he didn't play according to the routine, and finally the official arranged the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Martian" in the first place.

The moment Chen Yongren and his party stepped on the red carpet, the audience was detonated.

Everyone cheered, reporters pressed their cameras wildly, and fans screamed and cheered wildly.

"The first to walk the red carpet were the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Martian", both of which were also tonight's award-winning hits.

Yes, he is our famous king of the world, oh ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the arrival of director Chen Yongren!"

Chen Yongren led the group and slowly walked on the red carpet, which is now being watched by hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.

The fierce magnesium lights around them were like lightning, shooting towards them, and the dazzling light hit the sky that had already fallen into the night as if it were day.

At the same time, all kinds of admiration and discussion also reached their ears.

But when they walked the red carpet, the atmosphere of the whole red carpet became a little cold, which also made the stars behind them slightly embarrassed.

Compared with the red carpet competition of actresses at the opening ceremony, the red carpet of the closing ceremony was relatively deserted, and it really became a show for the competition film crew.
