Chapter 510: Acceptance Speech, Martial Arts Invitation, and Hermes Whip

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!

"Thank you~"

With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Wu Xiaozu received the Palme d'Or trophy from Adjani, the goddess of North Korea's cold-faced killer temperament.

"Congratulations John oo, I love The Suspect very, very, very much, it's beautiful and brutal and heartbreaking. This is the most beautiful depiction of love, and there is no one. ”

Adjani, who had a cold and lonely aura, suddenly smiled and bloomed in an instant. Clear blue eyes glow with admiration, two sapphires, one with sea water and the other with the sky.

Sophie, the rose of flowers, and Eva, the iris of flowers. Adjani, the one who is chrysanthemum also!

Roses and irises are dancing, enchanting the world, the love of the two is suitable for everyone!

Under the soil of France, Sophie Marceau has the cult Eva Green to inherit the mantle, but Isabella Adjani, who is it?

"Love is a tempering of the soup, some people have gained bland, some people are broken, the consequences are unknown, choose to do so, you can choose square, you can also be vigorous. Good luck always, Miss Adjani. ”

Wu Xiaozu smiled sincerely, as soon as his words fell, he saw Adjani actually take the initiative to veneer, to be honest, for this troublemaker, he had a respectful attitude, but he didn't expect the other party to be quite 'normal'.

Adjani, a top literary artist, looked at the handsome man with black hair in front of her, and laughed instead.

Deep well ice~

For this kind of crazy woman acting, Wu Xiaozu doesn't like to provoke very much, and it's easy to get into trouble... This kind of crazy woman is the kind of emotional bastard.

The audience applauded continuously, and Wu Xiaozu won the award on behalf of a third world country, which is very in line with the minds of many film critics.

"Thank you~" Wu Xiaozu switched to Chinese.

Cannes is a festival that encourages filmmakers to use their native language. has always been committed to fighting English as the only lingua franca of the film.

Even the guidelines and house catalogue of the entire festival are in French, and each judge, award presenter and winner is accustomed to speaking in their native language.

Of course, later generations of Cannes and European films still bowed to English-language films, and there was no way, because the mother tongue of European directors prevented them from winning the potential of the two largest film markets in the United States and Britain. In order to develop, one can only abandon the mother tongue.

The market determines the development of the film.

Therefore, the development of the mainland's entertainment industry really has unlimited potential. How to lick it~

"It's really heavy. ”

Holding the trophy in his hand, Wu Xiaozu looked sincere and showed a confident smile.

"When Mr. President announced that The Suspect had won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, my partner and I couldn't believe it. Now—" Glancing back at the trophy, "I'm sure I've really won this heavy trophy."

Thank you to the Festival de Cannes, to Mr. President, and even more to the jury members, for awarding me such an honor, to The Suspect.

Chinese cinema is an old friend of Cannes, and it has been 30 years since I first came here. After several generations of filmmakers, we finally stood on the stage and won the Palme d'Or!

This award does not belong to me alone, it belongs to all the Chinese filmmakers who are fighting for it! Thank you to all the people in my crew and to the efforts of my predecessors. ”

Wu Xiaozu paused, and the whole audience gathered on him.

At the moment, at least a million people are watching the live broadcast.

"I'm very happy to be here on behalf of Chinese filmmakers, where we have thrown down all barriers and come together for the sake of art.

Cinema allows us to transcend reality, it is the starting point, the journey, the destination, and the dream and hope.

Cannes' tolerance allows us to show what we do best.

It does not shy away from humanity, it does not shy away from politics, it does not shy away from violence, it does not shy away from breaking conventions. It has wireless possibilities and unlimited inclusion!

This is the essence of cinema and the essence of Cannes. I think this is also the goal that all of us Chinese filmmakers are pursuing.

I believe in a saying: the more national it is, the more global it is.

Today, I did it! I believe I'm just the beginning of a Chinese-language movie! Not the end of it. At the same time, I also wish all filmmakers good luck!

Thank you!Three grams of oil!"

Wu Xiaozu's words reached the ears of everyone on the scene through translation, and most of them could understand English to a greater or lesser extent.

Wow!

The audience applauded, and the mainland filmmakers in the front row applauded the most excitedly. Wu Xiaozu is advocating the concept of 'Chinese cinema', which is tantamount to political correctness in the eyes of political officials.

There is no shortage of official representatives from the mainland at this film festival, and Wu Xiaozu undoubtedly expressed his attitude.

A big director on Hong Kong Island with unlimited box office appeal has such an idea, which is definitely something that the mainland likes to see. In particular, Wu Xiaozu is also the first filmmaker in a Chinese-language film to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

In comparison, the Palme d'Or is undoubtedly more influential than the Golden Bear.

Moreover, Wu Xiaozu's identity also gives him an advantage over Xiao Mouzi! The staff of the United Front Work Department and the Ministry of Culture can all feel Wu Xiaozu's love for the motherland from Hong Kong and Macao.

That's enough!

Foreigners, on the other hand, listened to the translated remarks and did not feel anything wrong. After all, what the other party said did not involve political leanings. Even if there is, it doesn't matter, what everyone cares about is profit.

The organizers of Cannes were also very satisfied, and the old man Jacob nodded secretly below, and the more he looked at Wu Xiaozu, the happier he became.

is worthy of being a hand-picked descendant, this is the licking dog that Cannes needs...... Ahem, Cannes needs to be a film master who needs to be cultivated with resources.

It is foreseeable that the major film magazines and newspapers close to Cannes will start their routine procedures to slowly build momentum for Wu Xiaozu.

There are also people close to the Berlin Film Festival below, listening to Wu Xiaozu's testimonials, muttering in their hearts: He is also a film director, why can't that Zhang Yijian speak! Look at people, what they said, cut tofu with a knife, smooth on both sides.

There's no way, Director Zhang is an artist, and he wants a face...

Wu Xiaogou didn't bring his face when he stepped into this circle.

Adjani, Wu Xiaozu, and Claude Berry were taken side by side by reporters from the media below.

Click!

History remembers this moment!

After stepping off the stage, Wu Xiaozu walked into the backstage, and countless reporters and paparazzi waited for a long time, firing in unison.

He began to deal with these media.

……

At this time, Cannes happened to be around 10 o'clock in the evening on the 23rd, and Hong Kong Island was about 6 or 7 hours faster than Cannes.

It was 4 or 5 a.m. on May 24 on Hong Kong Island. Many newspapers have two pages ready to wait for news from Cannes.

The headquarters of the Daily Daily.

"Jingle bell~" The international phone on the table rang.

"Hey!"

The editor-in-chief of the daily newspaper, Xing Yifu, did not wait for the sound to continue ringing, and picked up the phone as soon as possible.

"'The Suspect' won the Palme d'Or at Cannes!!! boss won the Palme d'Or!

The voice on the other side of the phone was noisy, and I could hear countless chaotic voices in French and English, and I could only hear the repeated roar of pulling my neck on the phone.

"Are there any photos from the scene?"

Xing Yifu ignored wiping his sweat and hurriedly asked, "Hurry up and send it by fax!"

Hanging up the phone, the red-faced Xing Yifu raised his head, just in time to see the people with anticipation on his face, and waved his hand excitedly, "The boss won the Palme d'Or for Best Film at Cannes!"

"┗|'O′|┛嗷~~" The editors howled directly excitedly.

"Boss Niucha!" shouted many employees slapping their desks.

"Sharp!"

"Ahhh

"Put the boss's interview on the front page, and wait for the photos to come! Today, brothers, our opportunity has come! We're going to punch the Oriental Daily and kick the Ming Pao! Whether they have a source or not, we are definitely the most exclusive news!!

Print the whole page for me and build momentum for the boss!"

The white and white Xing Yifu waved his hand, "Brothers, the time has come for the party and the state to need us, do a good job, I will ask for credit for the brothers!! this time, we have to let the boss see our efforts !!!"

Wu Xiaozu had already recorded an exclusive interview with his newspaper in advance before leaving, and at the same time, in the past few days, he has been sending some things back to Hong Kong Island by fax and international telephone.

At the same time, many well-informed bigwigs in the Hong Kong island entertainment industry also learned the news from various sources.

Countless people began to adjust their attitude towards Wu Xiaozu and their attitude towards the work of 1024 Locomotive Film for the first time.

This is not an exaggeration at all.

In our era of information explosion, it is hard to imagine the tsunami-like impact of that kind of honor at that time.

In that year, Wang Jiawei won the award, which directly caused the Hong Kong Island newspaper to dump, and his status soared to 90,000 miles.

It was 97 years by then. At this time, it was only 1988, and Wu Xiaozu's influence was even greater!

With this award, as well as his achievements in the film industry, Wu Xiaozu can be awarded the title of Justice of the Peace!

The British government in Hong Kong is happy to see this.

This news spread very quickly in Asia, and the media in Dongying, Goryeo, Wanwan, and the mainland were in Cannes, and they all got the news as soon as possible.

After repeated verification, many people were also excited.

Either way, it's an honor for Asia.

Kowloon, Dragon City Ice House.

"Contact me with the media, and we'll pay for the layout!"

Fat Cheng smiled brightly and rushed into the sky with pride, "According to the orders of the big guys, not only in Chinese newspapers, but also in the English newspapers read by those big people, I also submitted news to me." Today and tomorrow, many newspapers on Hong Kong Island will surely be the news of the big guys winning awards.

We want to keep the buzz going! and take the opportunity to promote our company and increase our social impact!"

At the same time, companies associated with Wu Xiaozu also have their own actions.

Back then, Wu Xiaozu won the Asia-Pacific Film Festival and became a hot topic among the whole people, and it was overwhelmingly publicized for several days, not to mention this time?

Many people who originally had some thoughts also hurriedly adjusted their plans.

Everyone knows that at this time, Wu Xiaozu is definitely the light of Hong Kong!

Whoever hits hard will die miserably!

At this time, Wu Xiaozu's influence was at the Asian level.

——

After the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, the organizers also booked a banquet hall at a nearby hotel to hold a celebratory party.

"Long live !!"

Everyone in the crew of "Suspect" clashed glasses in unison, champagne splashed, and everyone was excited.

"Hey, hey—"

Gu Changwei held the box of the Palme d'Or trophy, happy to open it, and kept touching it.

"I really didn't expect to see a Chinese film win the Palme d'Or in my lifetime!" Li Hanxiang blushed, full of embarrassment, "Die without regrets!"

"Director Li, you still have a chance. ”

Wu Tianming complimented, but also with a smile on his face, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the scene not far away, and his heart was full of emotion.

Wu Xiaozu this person, Zhong (Zhóng)!

is a person who does practical things, no, he is really resolute, just do what he says!

once said that mainland actors would be used, you see, when it comes to doing it!! so that people can work together!

On the sofa in the corner, Wu Xiaozu sat in front of Brother Chen Kai and Gong Li with a cigar in his mouth.

"Miss Gong Li, I talked to Director Chen and Tianming before, and I intend to shoot a martial arts film. You're a character I'm looking for. I don't know, is Miss Gong Li interested?" Wu Xiaozu smiled at the corner of his mouth, looking very friendly.

With the prestige of the Cannes Palme d'Or, for the Chinese film industry, it can be said that Director Wu's fart is fragrant, not to mention that he took the initiative to lower his profile and invite people.

"Director Wu is too polite. The palace emperor showed his signature smile very generously, "I don't know what kind of story it is?"

Based on "Dragon Gate Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan. Brother Chen Kai said on the side.

"That's right, a story of the desert border fortress of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly, "But unlike Uncle Quan, I really like the history of the Tumubao Change, and I may process and adapt it in this history." ”

Traitors, factory dukes, chivalrous, warats, royalists, new emperors...... It can be said that Yingzong is not English, it is difficult for loyal ministers to be loyal, Daizong cannot be replaced, and it is difficult to follow from the dragon.

This history is very interesting.

The forces are entangled, the temples and the rivers and lakes are intertwined, and the forces of all parties can't tell which is good and which is bad, all of them are interests!

"This..."

Gong Li was quite moved, but he was slightly worried, and said, "I haven't participated in this type of movie, I'm afraid it will be difficult to adjust my condition...... Moreover, the film seems to be too commercial......"

"The most important thing for an actor is to have ambition, which can also be called ambition. You can't put yourself in one type. You have to step out of your comfort zone and keep challenging yourself.

For a real actor, it should not be limited to business and literature. You need two paths to keep improving.

If you don't have that ambition, you're never going to progress.

What do you say?"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Gong Li indifferently, the most ambitious and ambitious actress in China, as long as her heart was aroused, she would not be fooled...... Ahem, don't worry about not taking the file.

"Thank you, Director Wu. Gong Li glanced at Wu Xiaozu gratefully. She really couldn't turn down such an opportunity.

Especially Wu Xiaozu's did speak to her heart.

If it weren't for her ambition, she wouldn't have achieved such brilliant things. An actor is ambitious, not a derogatory term.

"You're welcome. ”

Since it is a co-production, Gong Li is undoubtedly the best choice. Gong Li is a piece of jade, and it is also very Western.

Compared with other actors in the mainland, she will undoubtedly have more international popularity. A "Red Sorghum" made her famous in Europe.

With her joining, the film distribution will be much smoother.

Interests are the only criterion he has for measuring actors.

"Hello, Mr. Oo, this is a gift from a young lady. At this moment, a waiter came over with a delicate rectangular gift box.

"Thank you. ”

Wu Xiaozu is not surprised, this French moon flower is good at dancing with long sleeves. After he won the award, many people took the opportunity to give some souvenirs.

There are small gifts such as champagne, bouquets of flowers, wine knives, etc., which the French love to blend.

"Huh?"

Looking at the items in the gift box, Wu Xiaozu was stunned, picked up the card, and said in elegant 'English', knowing that Wu Xiaozu couldn't understand French.

"Wish:

Mr. John oo is always lucky, may you fly above the vast cinematic halls.

TO: Your French friend. ”

Inside the box is a delicate Hermès horsewhip ~ this gift...... Inexplicably, I'm still a little eager to try。。。。。

However, it is not illegal for the French to give a horsewhip, France is a big country in the horse industry, there are 1 million horses, the horse racing industry is very diverse, and the equestrian competitions are famous.

Hermès saddle harness is also well-known all over the world, and this brand started as a saddle and harness...... Just look at its four-wheeled carriage and horse boys.

"This snaps, huh?"

"I graduated from junior high school in 69 and went to Xishuangbanna Jinghong Agricultural Reclamation Bureau from the imperial capital to work as a worker, and I rode a horse, which seems to be a horse whip. I didn't ride a horse less when I became a soldier later, don't say it, this whip is of really good quality......"

It's really interesting? If you don't whip a horse, can you still whip someone?

Wu Xiaozu smiled subconsciously, twisted his head, and just saw the back of Gong Li leaving...

Cough~

He chatted with a few people about going north to make a film, and heard from Gong Li that Xiao Mouzi was happily wanting to make a work with an urban theme.

Wu Xiaozu really doesn't know what city-themed movies Xiao Mouzi has made, and in his memory, "If You Have Something to Say" can be regarded as a work at the junction of urban and rural areas, but the time is definitely wrong.

Under the appearance of Xiaomouzi peasants, he has always had a heart to enter the city.

At this time, it should be regarded as Zhang Yimou's most confused time.

When Gong Li opened and closed his mouth to talk about Zhang Yiqian, he smiled very sweetly. Don't think about it, this so-called urban movie must also have Gong Li involved.

I really didn't have an impression, and Wu Xiaozu didn't think about it. He remembers Xiao Mouzi's movies very clearly, but the other party is thriving now, and it is not easy to pick up the leaks.

On the contrary, Chen Kaige is more suitable than him.

The banquet was held in the middle of the night, and Wu Xiaozu took Gao Lihong back to the hotel, still holding a Hermes pony whip.

The night was long, and he was ready to discuss the workmanship of this luxury item with Long Leg Shake M.

Don't say it, a big brand deserves to be a big brand, it's really strong, it's really loud, it's so crisp!

The treble is sweet, the midrange is accurate, and the bass is deep.

This French friend who gave himself a horsewhip is a bit aristocratic!

There are also many racecourses on Hong Kong Island, so you can try them yourself.

Horseback riding, golf, these things are also things that Wu Xiaozu needs to learn.
