Chapter 25: Surprise, Loss, and Longing

There were no leadership speeches at the award ceremony, and there were no messy theatrical performances. A very beautiful Latina beauty host came up to Barabala and said an opening sentence in Spanish, which was then translated in English. Then the jury appeared, and the chairman of the jury, a balding foreigner, said a few more words, but unfortunately Wang Dalun didn't understand at all.

Then it's time to present the awards. The film festival has five units, what Argentine feature films, Latin American short films, Latin American feature films, international short films, etc., and there are many awards, special recognition awards, forum awards, in short, everyone listens to the clouds, and they see a group of people coming to the stage to receive the awards, or dancing, or crying and giving acceptance speeches.

Wang Dalun didn't understand it, most of those big or small stars didn't know each other, the boring egg hurt, yawning one after another, and it was also transmitted to Zhang Jian next to him.

"I said you're not done kid?" Zhang Jian said helplessly.

Wang Dalun couldn't help but yawn again, waved his hand and said, "I don't understand, it's really boring!" I don't know when it's our turn. ”

"It's almost time for the main competition unit now." Zhang Yuan turned his head and interjected, he sat with Lao Ke, who was whispering to translate.

Another award was awarded one after another, but the name of "East Palace and West Palace" was never called, Zhang Yuan's face was a little ugly, and Lao Ke comforted him in a low voice: "Zhang, don't worry, the heavyweight awards are behind." ”

While speaking, a bearded old man appeared on the stage.

"Wow, it's René! I didn't expect him to come too. Zhang Jian looked at the old man on the stage, as if he had seen a god, and he spoke with a trill.

"Who?" Wang Dalun didn't know him at all.

"The greatest photographer in Latin America, a magnum figure." Zhang Jian's speech was very fast, and his eyes were still looking at the idol on the stage stupidly.

Wang Dalun didn't know what Magnum was like, so he guessed and asked in a low voice, "Hey, is it going to award the best photography award?" ”

"That's right, maybe it's our Zhang Jian." Old Ke replied with a smile.

"Ugh!" Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment, and immediately said modestly: "Impossible, impossible, how can it be me!" ”

He's watched too many movies these days, and he has to admit that some movies are much more clever than him. That being said, there was a look of hope on his face.

The old man nagged a bunch of nonsense, and finally said: "Okay, the best cinematography of this film festival is ......"

“JianZhang! EastPlaceWestPlace! ”

"Wow!" Lao Ke and Zhang Yuan applauded warmly.

"Brother Jian, you have won an award!" Wang Dalun also understood for the first time, and he grabbed Zhang Jian's shoulder with excitement and shook it vigorously.

"Really?" Zhang Jian looked sluggish and unbelievable, winning such an award for the first time.

"That's right, it's you! Don't sit still, hurry up, go up and claim your prize. Wang Dalun dragged him up and said.

Zhang Jianhuang walked onto the stage leisurely, and Wang Dalun was worried about whether he would faint in this photo.

Zhang Jian hugged the idol excitedly, and the old man specially said a few words to him, only to see him nodding vigorously. Wang Dalun bet that the kid must not have understood a word.

When announcing the award, Zhang Jian was stuck again, and the product didn't prepare any acceptance speech at all, just "Thankyou" on stage.

"Lao Zhang, it's okay!"

As soon as Zhang Jian stepped off the stage, Wang Dalun snatched the trophy in his hand that the crystal did not look like crystal, and the glass did not look like glass, and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Zhang Jian was still in a state of confusion, so he knew that he smirked: "It's luck, luck!" ”

The next two awards are the Best Supporting Actress and Actress, seeing the Best Supporting Actress on stage to accept the award, Wang Dalun was immediately happy, acquaintance! It's the big-breasted girl with the dew point. The big-breasted girl was very excited, and she said a lot on the stage, the range of movements was large, and the two big breasts were swinging one after another, which made people enjoy watching it.

Then there was the best screenplay, and another surprise, Wang Xiaobo, the screenwriter of "East Palace and West Palace", won this award. Wang Xiaobo did not come, and Lao Ke took the stage to accept the award instead of him.

After presenting these awards, the beautiful host came up to the stage again and gave a talk, and at the same time the theater suddenly became quiet, because everyone knew that the next few awards were the main event.

The first is the best director, when the award presenter walked on stage with an envelope, Zhang Yuan's breathing suddenly became rapid. Fortunately, the uncle who looked very vicissitudes of life didn't say much nonsense, and opened the envelope directly:

“BestDirector,YuanZhang! EastPlaceWestPlace! ”

"Wow!"

The participating film "East Palace and West Palace" from Asia and mysterious China won three awards in a row, and there were many exclamations while there was applause in the theater.

Zhang Yuan got up with a smile, hugged everyone one by one, waved his hand to the applauding crowd, and then walked onto the stage. Although Zhang Yuan seemed to be very calm, when he hugged just now, Wang Dalun obviously felt that his hands were trembling.

"Thank you! Thank you, Organizing Committee! Thank you, jury! First of all, I would like to thank Wang Xiaobo for writing this incredible and loving script. Thanks to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Culture and the Rotterdam International Film Festival Hubei Bao Fund, without your assistance, I would not have been able to make this film. Thank you to our producer, Mr. Christopher, and all the staff. I would also like to give special thanks to our two male protagonists, Wang Dalun and Si Han, for creating two great characters. I guess Xiao Shi and Alain are not just of the same sex. The story of love, they express a kind of love in a broad sense. Thank you! Best of all, I would also like to thank my wife for her continued support of me. Ning Dai, I love you! ”

"Yo! That's a good point! Well prepared. ”

In his acceptance speech, Zhang Yuan spoke very fluently in English, and he didn't even stumble in the middle. Zhang Jian admired it very much.

"Of course, Lao Zhang is sure, he has been ready for a long time, and I saw him secretly carrying a small note in the afternoon." Wang Dalun said with a smile, in fact, he was not embarrassed to say that he himself had already prepared, and the small note he memorized was in his pocket.

After winning three awards in a row, everyone's self-confidence exploded, and at the same time, the feeling became subtle, Zhang Jian asked with a smile: "Do you think the Golden Tree Business Land Award will be ours?" ”

Zhang Yuan smiled: "Don't talk about it, I don't dare to look forward to the final prize." However, I think Da Lun has a good chance of winning the throne of the actor. ”

Although Si Han has more roles than Wang Dalun in the film, from the perspective of performance alone, insiders know that Wang Dalun's acting skills are better at a glance.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare to hope." Wang Dalun shook his head and said.

Although the words are modest, everyone is full of expectations. Especially Wang Dalun, who was looking intently at the stage at this time.

The winner of Best Actress is the heroine of a French literary film, and Wang Dalun also went to see this movie, although he couldn't understand the lines, he could still roughly understand that it was a very beautiful love story. The actress's performance is stunning, and she deserves to win the award.

The next thing is to reveal the best actor, Zhang Jian gently stabbed Wang Dalun and said, "Hey, are you nervous?" ”

Wang Dalun swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm and said, "What's there to be nervous about?" ”

"Cut!" Zhang Jian pursed his lips and turned his gaze to the stage, he still hoped to see his brother crowned as the best actor.

"The winner of the best actor at this year's film festival is, "Mustang" Hector. Aderio ......"

"Whoa......

The applause was unprecedentedly loud because of the award-winning Hector. Aderio is the host actor. The guy was very excited, kept hugging and kissing the people around him, and then walked quickly onto the stage.

At this time, Wang Dalun was like a deflated ball, sticking to the chair, his face full of loss. In the past ten days of coming to the film festival, he was very novel at first, but as he integrated into the atmosphere of the film festival, especially when he saw himself on the screen for the first time, he felt that this qiē was too amazing, and he fell in love with the movie.

During the entire awards party, he was very envious of the glamorous actors who came on stage to accept the awards. Because awards are an affirmation of an actor and a sign of success. This kind of honor is not something you can get by making a hundred TV series, it can only be a movie, and it has to be a good movie. The number of domestic films is not large, and there are even fewer that can win awards.

Wang Dalun was suddenly very worried, he couldn't be so lucky forever, and a director like Zhang Yuan would suddenly appear in front of him and ask him to make a movie. What's more, many actors may never have the opportunity to meet a good role in their lives, and they have the opportunity but fail to get an affirmation, and they may never have a chance in the future.

Everyone was disappointed in Wang Dalun, Zhang Yuan looked back and saw him sad, sighed, reached out and put his arm around his shoulder, and comforted: "Brother, don't be sad." We're going to go to the Cannes Film Festival next year, and we're going to get a big one when the time comes. ”

Hey! Wang Dalun's heart was alive again, and he immediately thought that Zhang Yuan had nothing in Busan in September, but today he had already won three awards, and maybe he would have a chance next year.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, as a film sponsored by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Culture, of course it will go to the Cannes Film Festival." The Frenchman Lao Ke answered for Zhang Yuan with a proud face.

Zhang Yuan added: "And not only the Cannes Film Festival, we will participate in many film festivals next year, and some of them will have the opportunity to win awards. ”

There are more than a hundred film festivals internationally every year, but there are only twelve A-category film festivals that are truly influential, and the Matabrata International Film Festival is one of them. Among the 12 major European film festivals, the three major film festivals are one level higher than the other nine: the Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals.

So far, only Chinese actors Ge You and Xia Yu have won the best actor crown at the three major film festivals, Ge You's Cannes Best Actor and Xia Yu's Venice Best Actor. And Xia Yu was also a rookie when he filmed "Sunny Days", Wang Dalun naturally ignored Zhang Yuan's later supplements, and his mind began to be full of longing for Cannes.

"East Palace and West Palace" did not win the Golden Tree Business Land Award in the end, and this honor was won by the Argentine film "Mustang". When the final award was announced, the atmosphere of the whole awards evening was pushed to the top, because it was the first time since the Matabrata International Film Festival was born in 1989 that a local film won the top award, and they also won the crown for Best Actor. xh:.74.240.212
