Chapter 212: Cannes Best Actor
Since the award ceremony, Gan Jing's expression has become serious, and he didn't even pay attention to Luo Jin next to him touching his arm to remind him to relax in front of the camera.
Fan Xiaopang can be light and light, because her biggest purpose is to walk the red carpet in that dragon robe.
Luo Jin can be unfazed, because he is just a small supporting role with few scenes in the film.
Gan Jing can't.
He gained weight for this play, pondered day and night for this play, learned from Barcelona from this play, he can be serious, he is serious as a matter of course.
Even if yellow skin is generally not treated well at film festivals, even if many people are not optimistic, even if the camera sweeps over to give a serious expression that does not conform to the conceptual style, Gan Jing is still the same.
With regard to the character of Ukbauer, he has done his best, will this full effort pay off?
No one knows.
As the awards ceremony progressed, "Un Certain Regard" for Best Film, Best Short Film Palme d'Or, and Caméra d'Or for Best Film...... One item was awarded, and Gan Jing noticed that the director's hand below was also secretly clenched tightly.
Finally, the name of "Beautiful Mistake" was mentioned, a technical award, and the director took the stage to accept the award.
Gan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but then found that Inárritu's face was not good-looking, and he only finished his speech on stage in a few words.
Why is that?
Before he had time to think about it, Gan Jing heard the award of Best Actress - Juliette Binoche for "Legal Copy"!
This half-sister won the Cannes actress!
Gan Jing showed the most sincere smile since the ceremony began, which is good news.
Juliet walked to the stage with a light step and took a deep breath before receiving the trophy representing the highest honor for actresses from Tim Burton, president of the jury.
Gan Jing noticed that the chairman of the jury on the stage seemed to be a little distracted, and he often frowned on the stage tonight, and did not smile much when the winners were announced several times.
Why is that?
"Brother Gan, it's almost there. Luo Jin said softly beside him, he unconsciously changed his title, no longer calling Forrest Gump, but Brother Gan.
This will be willing to correct these without intention, just a heavy nod, the next item is the best picture Palme d'Or, and then the final Cannes Best Actor.
Just as Juliet finished her winning line and walked off the stage, Burton, the president of the jury, stood up from his position - the nine judges had their own seats on the other half of the stage, and he walked over to the microphone.
"This year's Best Picture Palme d'Or winner is...... Apichatpong Weerasaku, "Uncle Bumi Who Can Recall His Past Life". ”
The smile on Burton's face was still reluctant, and this time, Luo Jin next to him began to guess, and he muttered: "Is it that there is a lot of disagreement when deciding the award, what is this old guy doing, so many people are watching!"
The Cannes Prize is decided by eight judges and the president of the jury, all of whom are leaders in their respective fields of film, but now Burton is so free from the atmosphere of the awards that one has to wonder if there is a variable in the results.
Luo Jin's muttering fell into Gan Jing's ears, which made his heart rise under his serious expression, and he was also frustrated that "Beautiful Mistake" failed to win Best Picture.
He patted director Iñárritu's left arm sideways as a sign of comfort.
Soon, the final heavyweight award was to be announced, and Tim Burton was back in the microphone position, with an obvious pause, scanning the room.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Gan Jing felt that he was staring slightly in his direction—there was almost no difference, but Gan Jing's mood suddenly became more apprehensive than ever.
"Best Actor of the Year...... From Italy's "Our Life" Elio Germano!"
As soon as his words fell, a man not far from Gan Jing stood up and began to hug the people around him, and the camera was immediately over there.
Gan Jing let out an incomprehensible sigh, but at this moment, Burton's voice resounded through the audience again.
"There is also the Chinese actor Gan Jing of "Beautiful Mistake"!"
The atmosphere of the audience froze for a moment, followed by an unprecedented uproar.
Voices in different languages rang out from different places in the venue at once.
"Double yolk eggs?"
"Two actors!"
"Gan Jing?
"Huaxia actors?"
Gan Jing was already stunned at this time, and then Luo Jin next to him stood up frantically to wake him up, and he was suddenly hit by a huge ecstasy.
If it was said that the forced landing of a passenger plane from the sky to the river was a kind of steadfastness from flying to steady, then now the award is announced as if both feet have left the ground and flew into the air.
Gan Jing shook his fist fiercely, stood up suddenly, first hugged the excited Luo Jin, and then hugged the comforting director.
The actor, although he is sharing with others, is also the best actor in Cannes!
Germano who was the first to be awarded just now was standing in the aisle waiting for Gan Jing, smiling and polite, Gan Jing saw this, quickened his pace and signaled to him, and the two walked on the stage side by side.
Passing by Burton, the chairman of the jury, Gan Jing heard a slightly vague "come on", and then humbly let Italy's Germano speak first, and he stood aside and watched Burton present the trophy to Germano.
Burton sided with Gan Jing after presenting the trophy.
"Forrest Gump, congratulations. Taking advantage of the moment when Germano's emotions were brewing, Burton smiled and said to Ganjing.
"Thank you. On the stage, Gan Jing could only thank him briefly.
Jemano's speech lasted for a minute, and then he walked off the stage to the applause of the audience.
It's up to yourself!
Gan Jing breathed again and again, knowing that at this moment, there were probably countless people around the world who were watching his appearance through live broadcasts and broadcasts.
Walking to the microphone, taking the trophy handed over by Burton, Gan Jing took a breath and stood in the most dazzling position to look at it.
Famous directors, actors, and filmmakers from all over the world gathered together and waited for themselves.
The lights are brilliant, China, Britain, the United States, Germany, France and Italy, people of different countries and different skin tones, staring at themselves.
It's just because, among these glories, he is the most dazzling one—at least, that's how it is at the moment.
The turbulent emotions in Gan Jing's heart gradually fell silent, and he raised the trophy with his right hand and gestured to the audience, ushering in warm applause again.
There is no doubt that if you put aside the traditional weakness of yellow skin on this kind of stage, he brilliantly portrays a middle-aged man facing the dilemma of death in the film "Beautiful Mistake" - considering his current age, such a performance is even more valuable.
"I'm the best actor in Cannes. ”
This is the first sentence of Gan Jing's acceptance speech.
