Chapter 225: International Actress

Valladolid, Spain.

This is the third time Gan Jing has come to this country, and it is really a bit indissoluble to say.

was invited to present the Best Actress Award at this year's film festival, which Gan Jing didn't expect before, he himself estimated that it should be regarded as the impact of the Cannes Best Actor, and there are Chinese actresses shortlisted this year, so the meaning of the organizer seems to be quite clear.

The award day was the first day of September, and Gan Jing came two days early, to be honest, he had never heard of this film festival, just like the general public, and he only knew a little about more well-known film festivals such as the Oscars and Cannes in the world.

Before coming here, he specially learned about this film festival and found that it has a long history, but its influence is really not big, and it is more radiating near Spain.

Such a long-standing film festival does not have an ideal influence, Gan Jing thought of domestic awards, the Golden Horse is from Taiwan, the Golden Elephant is from Hong Kong, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are from the government, and the Golden Jue of Shanghai Film is currently only a companion.

When will there be a film festival in China that is comparable to Cannes and the Oscars?

Gan Jing stood in Plaza Mayor, looking at the museum in the distance, and felt a little sad in his heart, how can the inclusiveness make the award have enough influence?

After worrying like this for a while, he suddenly felt happy to himself, and it seemed a little too worrying to think about such a thing.

Gan Jing walked a few steps, looked up at the somewhat cloudy sky, and prayed in his heart for the film festival the day after tomorrow, hoping for a good weather.

This yellow-skinned figure, a rare sight in the city, made a few locals stop at it, and they looked at the Oriental man who was fading away, and heard a sigh and an incomprehensible whisper he left in the air.

"It is still necessary to develop the strength of the film industry. ”

……

On September 1, the 56th Valladolid International Film Festival in Spain opened.

At half past seven in the evening, the star actors and crews of shortlisted works walked through the opening red carpet one after another, compared with the many carpet rubbers in Cannes, it was a lot quieter.

However, the amount of carpet rubbing can sometimes reflect the influence of a film festival.

Naturally, the opening ceremony of a film festival like this was not broadcast live in China, but there were still a few reporters who came to the scene here, and they had a good relationship with Zhang Yimou, the director of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", who was shortlisted for this film festival.

In other words, a successful director always has to have one or two touted media.

"Brother Zhang, why did you say Director Zhang chose this girl?

Brother Zhang checked the photo he had just taken, and replied casually: "You don't know, she is a high school student, and it seems that she is taking the college entrance examination this year." ”

"Ah? It's not Beiying yet, I thought it was a big life, so what can this movie look like?" The reporter reported on Director Zhang for a long time, and he also had some feelings, and he couldn't help but worry about him when he heard the words.

"Who knows, anyway, there will be a press release. Brother Zhang slowly put away the machine and said with a smile, "Don't guess the director's thoughts, maybe you can really bring out an international actress." ”

"I see, it's hard!"

The slander of the two reporters was not known to Zhang Yimou not far away, who was chatting and laughing with a French director he knew at the moment, and exchanged his thoughts about the film in a friendly way.

In fact, aside from the aura of awards, sometimes he thinks that such a small film festival can meet more interesting people.

As time passed, the gossip in the venue gradually faded and the host on stage was ready.

"Welcome to Valladolid. ”

Zhou Dongyu sat next to the crew members, and she began to get nervous just by listening to the first opening sentence, she was just a girl in her third year of high school, and she had never thought of being selected to be a "Mou girl", despite her filming experience, although this film festival was not very influential, she still couldn't help but get nervous.

"Dou Xiao, do you think I can win the award?" she asked the male lead next to her.

Well, it is a bit unsuitable for an artist to express his desire for an award so bluntly, because it will be quite embarrassing to not get it, that is, a newcomer like Zhou Dongyu will be so unscrupulous.

"It should be fine. "Dou Xiao is a sophomore in Beiying, and unlike Zhou Dongyu, he got this role through public casting, and now he can only say so.

Zhou Dongyu nodded, and didn't ask again, although she had no experience, she could guess that he was actually not very optimistic when she saw Dou Xiao's face.

Also, winning the award for the first part is a bit too optimistic.

Sitting in the seat, Zhou Dongyu slowly comforted herself and calmed down a little, but when every award was announced, she watched the camera with envy, and then the winners would stand up and hug the surroundings.

If I win a prize, I have to be cool, different from everyone else, I just smile and walk up and calmly take the trophy to thank you.

It's better to just say a word, thank you for my own great performance, hahaha.

The little girl fell into a reverie, and she didn't notice the director's somewhat unkind expression on the other side, and the best film "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" just now was lost.

The next item is the best actress at the festival, which is commonly known as the actress.

Zhou Dongyu was still distracted, and she didn't hear what the host said at all, but she suddenly had a spirit, her eyes regained focus, and the focus was on a familiar figure that appeared on the stage.

What she didn't hear just now was the host's introduction - "Next, I would like to invite this year's Cannes Best Actor, Mr. Gan Jing from Huaxia, to present us with the Best Actress Award."

Gan Jing was dressed in a formal suit, a black suit and bow tie, and Shi Shiran walked from the backstage to the stage.

Since the beginning of the film festival, he carefully hid his figure, for fear of being accidentally seen by his colleagues from China, standing by the microphone at the moment with an envelope written on the winner, Gan Jing was satisfied to see the surprised looks of the crew members of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

is not only those young actors, but also Zhang Yimou, a big director.

Hey, that's how it feels, it's cool.

Gan Jing's bad taste was satisfied, but there was a very polite smile on his face, he held the envelope, and waited for the camera to scan the shortlisted actors before speaking.

"Who's the best actress this year?

After the envelope was disassembled, it was indeed the name, Gan Jing pretended to be surprised, and his eyes scanned the audience.

"Then I declare that the best actress of this year is ......"

"Zhou Dongyu of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"!"

Gan Jing showed a sincere smile, and the big screen also locked on Zhou Dongyu's shocked expression at the moment, and then watched her stand up suddenly and hugged the director next to her, and then hugged the crew one by one.

I'm afraid she has forgotten the "cool" appearance she had imagined in her reverie just now.

By the time she walked onto the stage and came to Gan Jing, Gan Jing had been waiting for a long time.

"Congratulations, Lady Actress. ”

The new Cannes actor Gan Jing handed the trophy belonging to the international actress to Zhou Dongyu, the heroine of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" from Huaxia.
