Chapter 260: Thank You for Your Love

Wang Dalun's life has become regular again, running in the morning, eating breakfast, shopping in the morning, hiding in the room to sleep in the afternoon, and waking up to call his girlfriend. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The time difference between the two places is six hours, four o'clock in the afternoon on his side, and ten o'clock in the evening on his girlfriend's side, which is exactly the time before going to bed. Fan Ziyi's "Give Me a Mother" was filmed very smoothly, and the scene in Shanghai had a week at most, and then he had to go to Hong Kong to film, and in four or five days, the scene was all completed. The filming period of more than 20 episodes of the TV series takes one and a half months, which is relatively fast.

It's just that his girlfriend has been complaining to him that the time to go to Hong Kong is really unfortunate, if it is postponed for a few more days, it will be the famous Christmas discount season in Hong Kong, when many big-name clothes, cosmetics, jewelry and other discounts are very large, and some are even less than half of the domestic price.

Especially now that I have just bought a house and still owe a lot of debt to the bank, I need to cut back on food and clothing, and it is a pity to miss this discount season.

Wang Dalun had no choice but to comfort and dredge the depression in his girlfriend's heart.

France produces red wine, but the most famous place in Nantes is a white wine called Castelle, there are many varieties of different prices, the cheap ones are only a dozen or twenty francs, and the expensive ones are hundreds or even thousands of francs. Wang Dalun picked a few bottles of thirty to fifty francs to buy and taste, he did not taste the quality of the varieties of different prices, but this wine is indeed very delicious, it is better to be slightly chilled, the taste is better.

He thought about it, when he left, he must get a few boxes back, send them to friends, or drink them himself, which is excellent!

It's a lot, but the week-long festival is fast approaching the closing day.

On December 1st, the 23rd Nantes Tricontinentals International Film Festival will hold a closing ceremony and awards ceremony at the Nantes Cinema. Although the star flavor here is far less intense than the three major European festivals, and the red carpet is not as enthusiastic and long, it still attracts hundreds of journalists from all over the world.

Wang Dalun is still wearing a black dress, a thin black tie, and a black super, which is very cool. When he walked across the red carpet, he actually attracted a burst of cheers from fans, without the participation of European and American celebrities, with the popularity and good reputation of "Seafood" at this film festival, he can be regarded as a wrist on today's red carpet.

Entering the theater, there were staff members who came to guide them, and the organizer reserved four seats for them, which were actually in the first row, and everyone tacitly glanced at each other, and everyone sat down with a smile on their faces. It seems that tonight's award is certain, as for the specific award, it will only be revealed at the end.

In fact, although it is nominally a film festival on three continents, in fact, most of the main awards are won by Asian films, of course, there are sometimes Latin American films that break out some upsets. As for African films, well, it can only be said that it is about participation.

After a week of warm-up, which movies can win the award everyone guesses eight. Nine is not far from ten, the Golden Balloon Award is the favorite three, "Seafood" is of course among them, and there is also an Iranian film that opened and an Argentine film that was also widely acclaimed.

They came in early, and as more and more filmmakers walked into the theater, the director and lead actor of the Iranian film sat next to them, while the South American buddies from Argentina sat in the back row of them.

The awards party officially began, the French have always been romantic and humorous, although the star flavor of the party is not strong, but the atmosphere is still very good, and one award by one is also arranged quite tightly. In front of them are some consolation prizes and technical awards, there are a lot of black buddies on the stage, for them to win the award is quite happy, the acceptance speech is very enthusiastic, and there is even a direct on the stage to a very strong indigenous dance with their national characteristics, very lively.

After more than an hour of anticipation, the moment finally came to present the heavyweight awards, and the best screenplay was taken away by the Argentine film sitting behind them. Zhu Wen looked slightly disappointed, but immediately became nervous again, because the best director award was about to be awarded.

The guest of honor is a French director, this guy is very humorous and played a talk show with the host, what I don't like this film festival very much, because I never want to win an award here or something Balabala said a lot, then remembered the matter, and said, "OK! Let's see which of my peers was so lucky that it was ...... who won the best director."

He opened the envelope and looked at it for a long time before he burst out two words very stiffly: "Z h u Wen!" ”

"Whoa......

The audience burst into applause.

Although Zhu Wen's English level is poor, it does not mean that he can't understand his name, when the French buddy's voice just fell, he jumped up from the chair, he froze in place for a while, Wang Dalun clearly saw that he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, first hugged Jacob, then hugged his girlfriend, and finally hugged Wang Dalun, and whispered: "Come up with me to receive the award." ”

"Why?"

Wang Dalun was stunned, although he temporarily made a cameo appearance as an assistant director during filming, but he didn't go on stage together to receive the Best Director Award, right?

"Translator, big brother!"

Wang Dalun suddenly smiled dumbly, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

When the two of them walked on stage at the same time, in fact, everyone in the audience was quite puzzled, and it is estimated that many people must be secretly wondering: Please, this is the Best Director Award, not the Best Actor! Or have the same psychology as Wang Dalun before.

It wasn't until Zhu Wen received the silver balloon trophy symbolizing the best director from the French buddy and gave an acceptance speech that everyone suddenly realized that it was a translator.

In fact, it is no wonder that the African buddies who won the previous awards have either French or English as their official languages. The Latin American winners, although their native language is Spanish, are also fluent in English and do not need to be translated.

"Thank you! Thank you, Organizing Committee! Thank you, jury! It's an exciting time! Nantes is a place that I will remember for the rest of my life, there are so many good things happening, and I will be more confident and determined to fulfill my film dream...... Thank you Jacob, thank you for giving so much for Seafood; Thank you Director Jia Zhangke, thank you for your support and guidance; Thank you, Mr. Yu Liwei; Thanks to our photographer, Mr. Liu Yonghong......"

Zhu Wen thanked him for a series of thanks, and after Wang Dalun helped him translate it in English, he turned his head and said very sincerely to Wang Dalun: "Here I want to thank Mr. Wang Dalun in particular, I want to say that without you, there may not be the birth of the movie "Seafood", thank you for choosing to trust me when I was in the most difficult time, I want to say that it is good to have you as a friend!" ”

Wang Dalun was actually quite moved when he heard it, but when he was translating, he said: "This guy thanked me just now, and said a lot of meaty things, and I was embarrassed to translate it......"

Before he finished speaking, the audience burst into laughter, followed by applause.

After the applause stopped, he continued: "I was really moved. But I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to him, in case I don't win the award later, of course, I just say that in case, then I am ready to thank him and I will not have a chance to say it......"

There was laughter and applause at the bottom of the "...... bang".

"I want to tell him that in his films, I am very happy to act, and I am very happy and honored to work with director Zhu Wen. Thank you, Director Zhu Wen, for making a very good movie. ”

Zhu Wen couldn't understand what Wang Dalun had translated, but when he saw the bursts of laughter and applause below, he knew that this product must not have been translated according to what he had just said. While he was applauding below, he asked in a low voice, "What did you just say?" ”

"It's nothing, you better hurry up, someone can't wait." Wang Dalun winked at him and smiled.

It turned out that the concubine sitting in the audience had already stretched her neck and looked at her boyfriend with excitement on her face.

Standing in the spotlight, Zhu Wen looked at her with the same affectionate gaze, and said slowly: "Finally, I want to thank my girlfriend, who is also the heroine of my movie, for your companionship and support over the years." I think at this moment I've found the secret to loving you, forever as a first time! ”

Ooh! This thing actually used the lines of the drama to show his love to the concubine. The effect was very obvious, and the concubine at this time was moved to tears. After Wang Dalun translated his words, the audience immediately applauded, which directly pushed the awards party to a climax.

After Best Director, there are Best Actress, Best Actor and finally the Grand Prize, the Golden Balloon Award for Best Picture.

The first award for Best Actress went to the heroine of an Argentine film, a Latin beauty with an extremely hot figure. Although she was disappointed, she was still mentally prepared, after all, this was her first time making a movie, and she was already very lucky to be able to come to Cannes and come here again.

It's just that the final suspense arises, and the organizers arrange the crew of "Seafood" to sit with the Iranian film crew of the opening film, and the Iranian crew has now only won one technical award, which means that they will definitely win one of the last two awards.

In this way, after the Argentine crew won the Best Screenplay and Best Actress in succession, they should not have a chance to win the Golden Balloon Award. And the crew of "Seafood", if Wang Dalun loses again in the competition for Best Actor below, they still hope to win the Golden Balloon Award. On the contrary, if Wang Dalun can win the actor, then there will be no suspense in the final golden balloon, and it must be won by Iranian movies.

The guest who presented the best actress was a male actor, and then the guest who presented the best actor was replaced by a female star from France, who was said to be a wrist, and the applause was very loud when she appeared, Wang Dalun also felt very familiar when she saw her, but she couldn't remember what role she had played for a while.

The two crews in the audience are very nervous at this moment, especially Wang Dalun Zhu Wen, their mood is very conflicted at this time, they all hope that Wang Dalun can win the actor, but once Wang Dalun gets the actor, it means that he will miss the Golden Balloon Award.

The French actress was very simple, without too many opening remarks, and directly began to open the envelope. Wang Dalun stared at her without blinking, for him personally, the Golden Balloon Award is meaningless, and he starred in "Platform" last year, and he had already won the Golden Balloon Award once. At the same time, he also knows that today is the best opportunity for him to win the actor since he started filming, if he misses it, it will undoubtedly be the biggest failure for him, and he will even doubt his acting skills.

The French female star finally opened the envelope, in fact, it only took three or four seconds, but Wang Dalun felt that she had been waiting for a long time. The French actress glanced at the contents of the envelope and announced: "The winner of the Best Actor Award is ......"

She deliberately sold Guanzi, and she also knew which of the two actors the actor would produce, and her eyes deliberately swept twice between the two actors sitting in the front row, and finally stopped at someone, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Da Lun. King! ”

As soon as the name was announced, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, and the Iranian film crew sitting next door even let out an exclamation, which means that their film has won the Golden Balloon Award.

Wang Dalun listened to the hustle and bustle, although he was already mentally prepared to win or not win the award, he still felt as if his brain was empty, and after a while, he felt a hot trembling sensation rushing to the back of his head along the spinal cord, stimulating his scalp to tingle.

Zhu Wen and Jacob's expressions are slightly complicated, one regrets the failure of the Golden Balloon Award, and the other is for the same reason, once winning the Golden Balloon Award is undoubtedly a stimulus to the box office.

However, they immediately smiled and congratulated Wang Dalun, and Wang Dalun, who reacted, hurriedly hugged them one by one, and then stepped on the stage with long legs and vigorously.

"Da Lun, please allow me to call you that, congratulations!"

Don't look at the name Wang Dalun, it seems to be quite a bit of a sly pronunciation in Chinese. But in English, it is much smoother than ordinary Chinese names.

"Of course!"

The French female star used French etiquette to stick it on his face twice before handing over the trophy.

"Thank you!"

He took the heavy trophy, walked over to the microphone, stood still, and scanned the room.

"Thank you!"

He held up the trophy in his hand.

"Thank you to the organizing committee, the jury, and the enthusiastic audience for ......"

"Wow!"

The audience applauded again. Everyone's eyes were focused on this tall, lanky, well-defined Oriental man. His appearance may be very ordinary in the Chinese aesthetic view, but in the eyes of the West, he is very handsome and charming.

"I had already thanked my director on stage just now, but the jury gave me the opportunity to go on stage again, and I would like to thank him again......"

"Buzz ......"

There was a good-natured laugh on the stage.

"Thank you Director Zhu Wen, I really enjoy working with you and your beautiful girlfriend, thank you Mr. Li Jieming, thank you Director Jia Zhangke, thank you ......"

Wang Dalun thanked them one by one, and finally said: "What I want to thank most is my girlfriend, although you may not be able to see this picture tonight, but I want to say that you give me the motivation to move forward, thank you, thank you for your love!" ”
