Chapter 201: What's the Matter?

If you want to talk about the fairness of the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, few people will question it, now it seems that even the Cannes Film Festival is not exempt from vulgarity, but this is nothing, the awards ceremony is actually a celebration-like event, everyone is happy, and people can't go back in disgrace, no matter how big or small, after all, let people go home with a trophy, this is all happy.

Anyway, some awards are worthless, what Golden Camera Award, Film Foundation Youth Award, the big coffee doesn't care what the hell it is, but those who are still struggling in the bitter ditch are different, no matter what the award is, as long as you can get one, at least you can gild yourself with a layer of gold, and when you make a movie to attract investment, you can talk well when you meet those investors, at least your resume is bright.

Song Zheng doesn't care about these at all, some awards, even after listening to Dai Sijie's translation, he still doesn't know what the hell it is, the important awards are behind, now, while it's time to share the cake, it's better to wander away and rest your mind.

This means that no one cares about which field Song Zheng grows onions, otherwise he will be discovered, this guy is actually wandering in such a solemn place as the Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony, and someone will shoot him to death every minute.

Wait, wait, wait, long wait, during which I watched two programs, one of which was a big fat woman pulling her neck and howling an opera, and the other was that another big fat woman pulled her neck and howled another opera.

In short, Song Zheng was not interested in watching it, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a few important awards to be awarded later, he would probably be able to fall asleep at this time.

"Oh, it's time to wake up!"

When Song Zheng didn't know what to ponder, Zhou Xun touched him gently, Song Zheng woke up suddenly, and only after listening to Zhou Xun's explanation did he know that the next award was the jury award.

When Song Zheng heard this, he glanced at Dai Sijie through Zhou Xun, his expression looked very complicated, both expectant and worried.

If it was before, Song Zheng would definitely not understand what was going on, but after coming to Cannes, he took the time to make up for his knowledge about the film festival.

This jury award sounds good, but to put it bluntly, it is a consolation prize, comforting the movie that can't win the Palme d'Or, if you win this award, you don't have to think about the final Palme d'Or.

The reason why Dai Sijie is looking forward to and worrying about it is nothing more than wanting to win this award, to avoid being empty-handed, the best director and the best screenwriter have already been sidelined, and winning this award can finally be better-looking, although Song Zheng and Zhou Xun were both selected for the best actor and actress, but unfortunately there is no hope of winning the award, but it is inevitable that he will miss the Palme d'Or a little, and he is afraid that this award will fall down, so that he will completely break his thoughts.

"Balzac and the little tailor!"

The award presenters announced the final award-winning movie, Song Zheng didn't understand, but just look at Dai Sijie's expression, the consolation prize is in hand, and it also means that Dai Sijie's ambition for the Palme d'Or is over.

Dai Sijie smiled bitterly, probably realizing that his expression was wrong, so he quickly watched the mood, showed an insincere smile, tidied up his clothes, and stood up.

Song Zheng and Zhou Xun also got up and hugged Dai Sijie to celebrate, although it is not the most important Palme d'Or, but this jury award is not bad.

It's equivalent to second place!

Dai Sijie's mood is complicated, but Rudy is very happy, holding Dai Sijie and shouting, his mood is understandable, after winning this award, the distribution rights of this film will be sold out.

For a film with a theme like "Balzac and the Little Tailor", if you want to sell at a good price, the foil of the trophy is the most important.

When Dai Sijie wanted to sign up for the Cannes Film Festival with a film before, Rudy was very opposed, according to his meaning, he should go to the Rotterdam Film Festival, the Nantes Film Festival, this kind of small-scale film festival to try his luck, brush a few trophies, and then sell the film at a high price.

But Dai Sijie insisted on going his own way and had to come to the Cannes Film Festival to test the waters, if he didn't get anything, it would have a great impact on the value of the film.

Unexpectedly, this film actually won a jury award, Rudy is not as daring as Dai Sijie, he has never considered the Palme d'Or, and it is already an unexpected joy to be able to win the jury award.

Song Zheng watched Dai Sijie come onto the stage, took the trophy from the hands of the award presenters, and muttered for a long time before starting his acceptance speech: "Thank you very much to the jury for being able to give me this trophy, this is a great affirmation for me, this film is my first work, I am very excited to be recognized, thank you to my crew members, thank you to all the actors who participated, without you, there would be no movie, thank you!"

The people speak French, and there is no translator next to him, so Song Zheng naturally doesn't know what he is talking about, but when he finishes speaking, everyone is applauding, and a few are nodding with affirmation.

This award is awarded, and the next three most critical awards are the best actress, best actor and best picture, and the first thing to be awarded is the best actress.

When the award presenters took the stage, it was another call, and Song Zheng didn't know what he was talking about, he just followed the silly music and didn't make himself look too different.

Then the screen on the scene was divided into four, and four candidate actresses appeared, Zhou Xun was among them, and Song Zheng sat next to Zhou Xun, and he was also fortunate to be on camera.

Zhou Xun had always said that he didn't take it to heart at all, and he said that I was lucky, I lost my life, I can't force it, Zen machine is deep, but now it seems that it is not what she said at all, although she pretended to be calm, but her expression was a little stiff, and one hand was on Song Zheng's hand, clenched tightly, and the joints were white.

Song Zheng smiled and patted Zhou Xun's hand comfortingly, Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, turned his head and smiled at Song Zheng.

The eye contact between the two, everyone at the scene didn't pay much attention, but Lin Xinru, who was far away in the magic capital, was different, when she saw the two of them smiling at each other, she was so angry that she almost smashed the computer, if Li Yue didn't know the inside story and appeased her in time, Lin Xinru would really have gone berserk.

"I still have something to do over there, just let me know when the result comes out!" Wu Chenjun said and got up to leave, she didn't dare to stay anymore, looking at Lin Xinru's expression, it was like she was going to eat people, and if she stayed any longer, she might see something she shouldn't see.

The others also got up and left, and everyone in this circle was stupid, and all of them were bright-eyed, Lin Xinru was so obvious that no one could see any clues.

When everyone left, there were only Lin Xinru and Li Yue left in front of the computer, and Lin Xinru didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

"I knew she wasn't dead!"

When Li Yue heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't think about it, your brother-in-law is so good to you, he definitely won't ~~~ not be like that!"

Lin Xinru snorted, staring at the screen with her eyes, and kept casting spells and curses, not letting Zhou Xun win the award.

"Isabelle Huppert!"

"Yay~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

When Lin Xinru heard the result, she jumped up excitedly, looking at her like that, as if she was the one who won the award, Li Yue covered her face vigorously, and reached out to pull the corner of Lin Xinru's clothes.

"Sister, let's just have fun in our hearts! Don't ~~~~~ don't do this!"

Lin Xinru didn't care about that, she only knew that Zhou Xun had offended her, and seeing that Zhou Xun didn't win the award, she was happy: "Hehe! Xiaoyue! I said a long time ago, she definitely can't take it, with her acting skills, if she wants to win this award, it's ten years early!"

Li Yue listened, nodded again and again, expressed her agreement, and said what kind of master to follow, what kind of learning, she is Lin Xinru's closest person, so she naturally wants to follow Lin Xinru to unite the front and unite with the outside world.

But~~~~~~

Sister, Zhou Xun is ten years early, and with your acting skills, there is at least a light year behind!

But if he said this, he could only think about it in his heart, and if he said it, Li Yue unconsciously shuddered.

Back at the award ceremony, hearing that the award presenters announced the names of the final winners, Zhou Xun's expression relaxed, smiled bitterly, looked at Song Zheng with a look of concern, and shook his head with a smile.

"I didn't feel at ease at all, but now it's okay, it's completely down-to-earth!"

Song Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "I think you can win this award sooner or later!"

Zhou Xun took what Song Zheng said as comforting words, and his mood was still a lot better, and he said with a smile: "I think you can win an award today!"

Today?

Best Actor!?

Song Zheng doesn't have such a big heart, he couldn't even hold Zhou Xun, let alone him, and the several important awards awarded before were basically the same as predicted by the media, and the best actor would also belong to Benoit Majimei, who was hyped by the media before.

How can you say that people are also in the right place and all of them, if you can't win the award, then how bad your life is!

On the stage, Isabelle Huppert burst into tears because of her excitement, kept expressing her gratitude, and finally left the stage under the persuasion of the host.

Next, it's time to reveal the ownership of the actor, when the award presenters came out, there was a round of applause at the scene, and Song Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the man with a cold face appear on the stage.

It's Jean Reno!

Jean Renault has been in the film for many years, don't look at him, he has never won any awards, but he has created many classic movie images that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, such as the killer Leon.

Watching Jean Reno walk towards the center of the stage, Song Zheng became nervous for no reason, feeling that the great god would suddenly turn around at any time, draw two pistols from behind, and shoot at the audience.

But when Jean Renault really turned around and faced the audience, Song Zheng was surprised to find that the killer Leon smiled.

Holy!

You actually laughed, how can you laugh!

Zhou Xun looked at Song Zhengqi's strange appearance, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you!?"

Song Zheng was startled, reacted suddenly, and hurriedly sat down: "It's okay! Look! It's Jean Renault!"

Zhou Xun glanced at Song Zheng: "I'm not blind!"

If it were in normal times, Song Zheng would definitely have to go back, but this time, for the sake of Zhou Xun not winning the Best Actress, let her get better once.

Jean Renault came out alone, looked at the audience, opened his mouth and said, "It's a pity, I should have brought my little Mathilde!"

Hahahaha~~~~

There was a burst of laughter from the audience, Song Zheng was stunned, what is this talking about?

"It's a great honor to be the guest of honor at this Cannes Film Festival, and the next four actors I will introduce to you are all very good, I watched the movies they starred in, and their acting skills are amazing, in this regard, I can only say, you are growing up, and I, am really old!"

There was another burst of good-natured laughter in the audience, this sentence is a classic line in the movie "This Killer is Not Too Cold", Song Zheng continued to be confused and looked at Dai Sijie, but people didn't have the idea of translating it at all, so they could only make Song Zheng anxious.

At this time, the big screen began to show film clips starring the four nominees for Best Actor, and the first one was "Balzac and the Little Tailor".

Luo Ming, played by Song Zheng, squatted on the stone mill in the threshing floor, trembling, the little tailor came to visit him, the two hugged each other and kissed, and the next clip was two people in the cave, Luo Ming read Balzac's famous book to the little tailor.

Next up are three other candidates, with the popular Benoit Magime's "The Piano Teacher" being the longest.

Students and female piano teachers kiss in the toilet, snuggle up to each other in the open-air movie theater, and have a heated argument with the piano teacher's mother.

Song Zheng has never seen this movie in his previous life, but when this film was tested before, he went to the scene to see it, and Benoit Majime's performance can't be said to be wonderful, but there are enough highlights, it can be said that he is the only component in this dull and depressing movie that can make people feel relaxed.

It is worth mentioning that Isabelle Huppert, who just beat Zhou Xun and won the Best Actress, is the piano teacher in this film.

"Benoit Majimeh, he's the best young actor I've ever met, he has a great future, and his role as Walter is impressive, Song Zheng! It's a strange name, a young man from the Far East, I've just seen his profile, oh God! He's only twenty-three years old, and he's a young man who makes people jealous, but his acting skills make a deep impression~~~~~~

Jean Renault introduced the four nominated actors one by one, and it was unbelievable that the taciturn killer in the movie, who never seemed to laugh, would be such a character.

After introducing the four candidates, Renault took out the envelope and gestured to the audience: "Now let's reveal the puzzle and see which lucky one can take this trophy!"

Although he didn't know what Jean Reno was talking about, seeing the envelope, Song Zheng could also guess that the last moment had come, how could Rao say that he didn't care, but when this moment really came, he couldn't help but be nervous.

A heart is beating wildly, and the whole person is stiff.

Song Zheng can now understand the mood of Zhou Xun just now, this is like a prisoner waiting for the execution, he didn't hear the gunshot, his nerves are always nervous, the gun really went off, whether he hit or not, he was always relieved.

Zhou Xun looked at Song Zheng, she was going to complain, but looking at Song Zheng's expression, when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it back, reached out and grabbed Song Zheng's hand, she could feel Song Zheng's hand trembling.

Jean Renaud on stage had already taken out the card in the envelope, looked at it, and showed a mischievous smile to the audience: "Wow! What a surprise! Now, I announce that the winner of Best Actor at the 54th Cannes Film Festival is ~~~~~~~~~~~"

Song Zheng felt that his heart almost jumped out, and he didn't understand a word of what Renault said, and when he saw him stop, he thought that it had been announced, and he didn't hear his name, although he was disappointed, it was finally over.

But ~~~~ Why didn't anyone stand up and no one applauded!?

"Songzheng!"

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~h

Song Zheng heard a scream from Zhou Xun beside him, and then he was hugged, Dai Sijie also jumped up, stretched out his hand as if to hug Song Zheng, but after seeing Zhou Xun, he changed it to applause, and Rudy was also applauding excitedly.

Now the movie can sell for more money!

Just now, a jury award has made this film a little popular, and now this actor award has directly brushed the whole film up several layers.

Winner!

Winner!

The film starring the actor, can it be worse?

Although those big agency distribution companies have always only watched films and not people, those small companies are so foolish, labeled as the starring actor, they will definitely attract many people to participate in the bidding.

Song Zheng was completely confused, what's wrong? What's going on!?

"You've won a prize, you've won a prize!"

Won the prize!?

Song Zheng was completely stupid, he thought he had lost just now, and as soon as he relaxed, it turned out to be such a big surprise, and for a while, Song Zheng was stunned.

Far away at the filming site of "Double Lover" in the magic capital, Lin Xinru jumped up after Jean Renault announced the results.

"Hooray!hooray!hooray!uh~~~~~~~~~~~"

Lin Xinru, who was cheering, suddenly stopped, looking at the computer screen with burning eyes, and the camera was aimed at Song Zheng, who was crowned the actor, and Zhou Xun, who was hugging him tightly.

Li Yue looked at it, it was like a nail on the chair, twisting around, and he couldn't wait to disappear immediately: "Sister, it's okay! It's just ~~~~~~~ it's too excited, maybe ~~~~~~~~."

Li Yue couldn't go on, Lin Xinru's eyes were already breathing fire, and she could only pray for Song Zheng who was far away in France.

I can't help you, brother-in-law, so please be blessed!
