Chen Yongren made a soy sauce at the opening ceremony, and felt extremely boring, so he took a leave of absence from Chen Xunqi, saying that he was not accustomed to the water and soil, and he wanted to recuperate with peace of mind, and he should not look for him for all entertainment or anything, and he would naturally be fine when the award ceremony came, and the latter was speechless.

So, Chen Xunqi did not see Chen Yongren and Zhang Manyu again in the next ten days, and the two simply moved out of the hotel to become an ordinary tourist in Cannes, rented a vacation apartment, and lived a two-person world......

Chen Yongren lives a chic life in Cannes, but he doesn't know that his and Zhang Manyu's every move is being monitored. Although the current newspapers are gossipy, they are still relatively rational, and the general reporters focus on the theme of Chen Yongren's film being shortlisted for Cannes, they think that Chen Yongren is also a film artist and should have a great enthusiasm for the Cannes Film Festival, so they do not pay special attention to Chen Yongren's whereabouts; But there is one exception, that is, Dong Chengpeng of "Oriental Daily", the romantic journey of Chen Yongren and Zhang Manyu was perfectly recorded.

Chen Xunqi dragged his tired body back to the hotel one day, he really didn't know whether to be happy or angry recently, happy that "Two Big Smoking Guns" as a film shortlisted for the main competition unit of the film festival has been screened by filmmakers from many countries and regions to negotiate regional distribution, and even the price quoted has exceeded the "one million Hong Kong dollars" film investment, that is to say, the film has not been released in Hong Kong, the capital has been earned, and the anger is because of Chen Yongren, who is like evaporating from the world after the opening ceremony of the film festival, Mr. Jill Jacob, who was the artistic director of the film festival at the time, had asked several times, and without Chen Yongren's opinion, he could only continue to negotiate with local film companies, which had already caused dissatisfaction among several film companies; A series of things made him feel unbearable.

The most important thing is that tomorrow night is the awards ceremony and closing ceremony of the film festival, this stinky boy has no shadow, isn't he made by someone, and then thrown into the sea to feed the fish, right? Bah...... Without restraint...... Without restraint......

Thinking of this, he was about to open the door, but he heard a familiar shout from the room behind him, his eyes lit up, and he directly pushed open the door behind him, and kept teaching in his mouth: "Okay, you stinky boy, why didn't you ...... Forehead...... It's good to come back, you go on, I'll go back to the room first! After saying that, he slowly closed the door and closed his eyes, breathing a long sigh of relief.

In the room, Chen Yongren pressed on Zhang Manyu, the two were stunned for a long time, the latter suddenly screamed, kicked Chen Yongren aside, and scolded: "It's all you, everyone's face has been lost, how can I see people in the future?" ”。

Chen Yongren's tail was cold, and he gasped and shouted: "Murder your husband!" Seeing that Zhang Manyu was about to smash someone with something again, he hurriedly changed his words: "It's okay, we are innocent, it's just a kiss, Brother Qi is from here, what's so embarrassing?" ”。

"Don't pay attention to me tonight......" Maggie Cheung said, closed the door and entered the bedroom.

Chen Yongren stood up with his back and came to Chen Xunqi's room to sit down, and the latter sneered: "Your old man is back?" ”。

Chen Yongren sighed: "The things here are too expensive, I've only been playing for a few days, and my private money will be used up, so I can't do it if I don't come back!" ”。

Chen Xunqi slapped Chen Yongren on the head and scolded: "Running out of money? Why didn't you sell yourself? You're so happy out there, do you know how tired I'm these days? ”。

After Chen Yongren learned the details, he said: "Actually, why bother? Just tell them that you can't talk about it after the awards ceremony? Then the initiative will be in our hands! ”。

Chen Xunqi said speechlessly: "You are so confident!" In fact, the current price is already very good, if the film wins the award, of course the initiative is in our hands, but what if we can't get it? They'll take the opportunity to drive down the price! ”。

Chen Yongren said indifferently: "Suppress it, press it, our brothers will be millions of people every minute in the future, do you care about this little money in front of you?" ”。

"It looks like someone just complained that things are expensive here, and their pockets have dried up......."

"I see you're tired too, so I won't disturb your rest!"

"......".

The next morning, Chan visited the venue of the award ceremony and met Jill Jacob, then the artistic director of the festival, who was chatting and laughing with a group of people. Chen Yongren didn't know anyone except Jill Jacob himself, but Chen Xunqi seemed to be very mixed up during this time, introducing the two parties to each other, what is this, what is that, Chen Yongren didn't remember any of them, several ghosts are very interested in Chen Yongren, and through Chen Xunqi's translation, they all ask questions about "Two Big Smoking Guns", Chen Yongren will answer what he knows, if he doesn't know......

Chen Yongren had a hypocritical smile on his face, and said to Chen Xunqi quietly: "Brother, you tell this foreign devil that your own language level is limited and you don't know how to translate my words!" ”。

Chen Xunqi said speechlessly: "I directly told them that you haven't been studying movies for a long time, and your theoretical knowledge is shallow, so you can't understand it?" ”。

"No, that's too much of my value as a world-class director, think about it, your English level is so good, but you can't explain my words, they will definitely think that I am unfathomable and unfathomable many times higher than them, in that case, it seems that our Hong Kong film industry and even the Chinese film industry are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, don't let them look flat, we Chinese not the sick man of East Asia......

"......" Chen Xunqi was silent for a long time, looked at Chen Yongren and said, "Do you think the IQ of these film art masters is negative?" ”。

When Chen Yongren heard this, he was contemplative at first, his expression changed greatly, his face was pale, cold sweat flowed, and his body half leaned on Chen Xunqi to Jill Jacob and the others: "Sarui, I love to make a special flying eagle!" (I'm sorry, I'm uncomfortable!) ）”。

Jill Jacob asked urgently, "Mr. Chen, what's wrong with your brother?" ”。

Chen Xunqi said helplessly: "He suffers from congenital epilepsy and neurological disorder syndrome, just rest for a while!" ”。

Jill Jacob regretted: "It's really jealous of the talent, Brother Ling is really disabled, and he can make such a good movie with such a serious illness, it's really ...... I know some well-known doctors, and I can introduce Mr. Chen to ......".

Chen Xunqi really didn't have the face to stay here, so he helped Chen Yongren and said as he walked out: "Thank you, but my brother often takes the wrong medicine, so he doesn't like doctors very much, Mr. Jacob, let's see ...... at the award ceremony in the evening."

……

At the awards ceremony of the 37th Cannes Film Festival, after half a day, Chen Yongren saw Jill Jacob again, the latter looked at him with a concerned face, Chen Xunqi was about to explain, Chen Yongren raised his hand and interrupted: "Although I don't understand, but with my IQ, of course I know what he means!" He said to Jill Jacob with a grateful face: "Three grams of oil, fascinated Jacob, love the eagle!" ”。

Sure enough, Chen Yongren nodded with satisfaction when he saw Jill Jacob, Chen Yongren looked smug, Chen Xunqi rolled his eyes, and Zhang Manyu snickered......

Then the ceremony began, Chen Yongren listened to the host's chatter for a while, and heard Chen Xunqi say "start" and his expression was tight, "Two Big Smoking Guns" was shortlisted for three important awards: Best Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture. But after all, there is a gap, but "Pulp Fiction" of the same level can win the Palme d'Or, and this should not be for nothing!

Chen Xunqi has been broadcasting live for Chen Yongren's author; "The award for Best Screenplay went to the European film 'Journey to the Isle of Sether'!" Chen Xunqi said regretfully.

Chen Yongren's heart tightened, and he forced a smile: "It's okay!" We won the grand prize, and there are very few films in Cannes that win more than one award, and without the best screenplay, the chances of the year after next are great! ”。

Chen Xunqi opened his mouth and didn't say anything, he felt that the smaller the award, the more hopeful, but the chance of the grand prize was slim, but he was worried when he saw Chen Yongren's somewhat stunned look, and after a while, he went on to report for Chen Yongren: "The best director award was won by Bertrand Tavernier, the director of the French film "Country Sunday"! ”。

"Ah Ren, I'm worried about you like this!" Zhang Manyu grabbed Chen Yongren's white knuckles and said with concern, the latter came to his senses, wiped his cold sweat, and comforted the former: "I'm fine......."

"Ah Ren, our film has won an award!" Chen Xunqi suddenly shouted excitedly.

Chen Yongren was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Really? After the Best Director Award, it's the Palme d'Or? It's fantastic......".

Chen Xunqi's face changed, and he grabbed Chen Yongren's shoulder and said, "Ah Ren...... Ah Ren, calm down and listen to me, it's not the Palme d'Or! ”。

"How so? The Best Director Award should be followed by the Palme d'Or! Besides, we are not shortlisted for other awards......" Chen Yongren was stunned when he heard this.

Chen Xunqi smiled and comforted: "Although it is not the Palme d'Or, it is almost, it is the Grand Jury Award, and the Cannes Film Festival is second only to ......the Palme d'Or."

"How is that possible? Will Lao Gai's masterpiece not get the Palme d'Or? Chen Yongren muttered.

At this time, the host on the stage said a series of words, and the other people around were applauding, and at this time, they were also looking at the strange behavior of the two Orientals with a strange face, Chen Xunqi didn't hear Chen Yongren's self-muttering clearly, he glanced at Zhang Manyu, and said to Chen Yongren: "Ah Ren, calm down, I'll go to receive the award first!" As he spoke, he walked up to the podium amid the second applause of the crowd......

Chen Yongren suddenly thought of the movie "Assassin Nie Yinniang" 30 years later, and director Hou Xiaoxian said after winning the Best Director Award - "I have come to Cannes seven times, won an award, and I have forgotten what the award is." ”。 He sighed: "It's not a problem of movies, it's a national issue, the French people who have won awards in the past are French first, then Europeans, then Westerners, and finally Orientals, Chinese films are really difficult in the West......

Zhang Manyu said worriedly: "Ah Ren, what are you talking about?" ”。

Chen Yongren didn't reply, and walked straight to Chen Xunqi, who was giving an acceptance speech, who had been paying attention to Chen Yongren, and his heart immediately hung by a thread when he saw his actions......
