May 22 was an exciting award ceremony. The stars of this day are the real ones, and Xiao Ran's group has almost completely lost attention in front of a large number of European and American stars. Fortunately, the attention of Chinese journalists and some European journalists has finally helped them to save some face.

Here, Xiao Ran finally experienced the contempt of the United States for Chinese films, not even contempt, simply ignoring this existence. Think about how many twists and turns a master like Wu Yusen went through when he entered Hollywood, and finally reluctantly got the opportunity to direct in Hollywood.

Thinking back to the situation when he first arrived in this era, he once planned to hand over the script to Hollywood, Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. Now he finally knows that it's a fantasy, first of all, unless you are in Hollywood, you are a Chinese screenwriter who writes a script, and you only come to see it.

The second point is that in Hollywood, every screenwriter or director and so on has an agent. A screenwriter without an agent, no matter how well you write, Hollywood won't look at it, this is the rule. Any script needs an agent to sell it, no matter how fanciful it is, as long as there is a good agent, a bad script can still be filmed.

Their group of Chinese naturally sat on the sidelines, and Wang Jiawei and the others, who were quite strong, couldn't help but tremble nervously when they saw that they had finally started to present awards. If for filmmakers around the world, Hollywood is the mecca of movies, then Cannes is undoubtedly the temple of art films, and Wang Jiawei is nervous.

Xiao Ran is also a little nervous, and being able to win the Palme d'Or will definitely make Europe and the United States pay more attention to Chinese films. When the time comes, there will be less resistance to entering the world, which is not only related to his honor, but also related to the speed of the advancement of the film empire, so how he is not nervous.

The award-winning films of the 41st Cannes Film Festival are not clear, and as for the Asian distribution rights of these films, it is Ge Wenqiu who is in charge. The only regular awards at the Cannes Film Festival are the Palme d'Or and the Grand Jury Prize, as well as the Caméra d'Or, which is dedicated to debut films. In addition, there are the actor and actress and director awards.

However, there is no Best Screenplay Award yet, otherwise Xiao Ran is really eager to get one to prove that his first halo is not boasting. This year, there was an additional award, the Education Contribution Award. When Xiao Ran clearly heard the guests on the stage shouting in a blunt tone: "Chen Kaige, "The Child King", he was completely stunned.

Xiao Ran didn't know that Chen Kaige actually participated in the competition for this year's Cannes, and he didn't know until this moment. Looking around left and right, I saw Chen Kaige walking up to the stage with a smile on his face, and after receiving the trophy on the stage, he turned his eyes to Xiao Ran's side, and the eyes of the two people intersected together, and they were both stunned.

Chen Kaige is also very interested in this team from Hong Kong, and is even more interested in Xiao Ran, the boss. The next one was much simpler and more insipid, and it wasn't until the Golden Camera Award was presented that Wang Jiawei and Xiao Ran became nervous.

It's a pity that it was not Wang Jiawei who won this award, but Miranair, the director of "Bombay, Hello". The next award is the Jury Award, which is won by several judges when they have a soft spot for a very distinctive film, and there is usually always such an award.

Up to now, in addition to Xiao Ran's "Dark Flower", there is still hope, Yang Chaoqun and Wang Jiawei have no hope, and both of them look quite depressed. Xiao Ran glanced at the faces of the two, and couldn't help but secretly laugh, thinking that maybe Wang Jiawei decided to make a living by winning awards for the rest of his life at this time.

"The winner of the Jury Prize at the 41st Cannes Film Festival is ......" The guests on stage are always used to whetting people's appetites at this time, as if it has become a convention: "It's Krotkifilmozabijanju" (the author doesn't understand English, let's make do with it), the director Krzystofkieslowski! ”

Xiao Ran's hanging heart fell suddenly, until it fell to the lowest point. Could it be that this time the collective expedition really can't win a single award? Xiao Ran didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't believe it. At this time, it is well known that the international film industry despises Chinese films, otherwise Xiao Ran and their appearance here this time would not have caused such a big sensation.

Although he doesn't know much about Cannes, he knows more or less that the Palme d'Or "Dark Flower" is absolutely impossible to win. In the history of Chinese films, only "Farewell My Concubine" has won such a unique one.

And the remaining highlights, the heroes and heroines and directors are unlikely to give Chinese movies now. Don't think about the Palme d'Or, and don't expect the special jury prize, which is second only to the Palme d'Or, which is generally of social significance.

As a gangster movie, "Dark Flower" has no social significance! The chances of winning the prize are naturally very small. When it comes to the last additional award, the Artistic Contribution Award, Xiao Ran doesn't think that "Dark Flower" can make any artistic contributions!

Therefore, the only thing he hopes for is to win the hearts of some of the judges, and it is enough to win a jury award. However, this time, he missed, and he saw that the whole army was completely annihilated......

Lin Qingxia didn't understand why she was smiling so bitterly and helplessly, in her eyes, all this was not over. But she knew that she could comfort Xiao Ran, so she gently held Xiao Ran's hand and let the warmth in her hand pass on to Xiao Ran.

How could Xiao Ran not feel the love passed on by Lin Qingxia, he gave her a look, and shook his head slightly to indicate that he was fine. At this time, Fa Ge also noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Ran, poked his head over and asked, "Ah Ran, are you okay?" ”

"It's fine, it's just a bit of a headache!" Xiao Ran found an absolutely unclever excuse to cover up the past, and suddenly remembered that Fa Ge had a good chance to win the Best Actor Award. Although it is not enough to win this award, it can barely be regarded as making up for it.

Su Renyao definitely won't be able to win this award, but Fa Ge has a little chance. However, Xiao Ran was soon disappointed. Because he suddenly realized that Fa Ge's performance was certainly stronger than Liang Chaowei's version, but Su Renyao's performance was inferior to Liu Qingyun in the original version. Under the advantages of one and the other, it is difficult to get a more appropriate comparison of Fa Ge's perfect acting skills.

The next awards to be presented were the Artistic Contribution Award and the Excellence in Technology Award, and sure enough, they didn't have a bad share. finally came to the main drama, but it was also a few awards that Xiao Ran thought was difficult to sing. After the award of Best Actress, it is the Best Actor.

The award for Best Actor on stage was John, Best Director at the XXXVI Cannes; Goldstone and Meryl; Streep, the two of them are talking humorous jokes on stage. After talking a few words, John couldn't help but smile and said: "There are so many people who are shortlisted for Best Actor this time, from all over the world, even in the mysterious East." ”

"You're not bad at all, that Oriental man is really handsome and handsome!" Meryl's exaggerated tone was obviously not taken seriously by many people, the translator in the audience helped Fa Ge translate, Xiao Ran secretly translated it to Lin Qingxia, and both of them stared at Fa Ge and smiled.

"Let's see who will win this year's Best Actor!" Meryl opened the answer and was stunned for a full two seconds, the name in that post must have surprised her.

"I think there will be an unprecedented result in this award today, and maybe it will become an epoch-making ......" John poked his head to look at it, and was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said: "According to our understanding, this winner has already had countless actor titles." I have watched his performance this time, and it is absolutely logical to win this award! ”

Xiao Ran's hand tightly held Lin Qingxia's soft and tender hand, and in Fang Cai's words, he heard a wisp of unusual taste. The Chinese have never won the Best Actor Award before, and if they win this time, it will be unprecedented and epoch-making!

"The Best Actor at the 41st Cannes Film Festival is ......" The shock in Meryl's eyes did not disappear until this moment, her beautiful eyes turned around the stage a few times, and finally fixed on Zhou Runfa's body, spelled out in blunt pinyin: "Zhou Runfa, "Dark Flower"! ”

The words "Zhou Runfa, "Dark Flower" swirled in the huge venue for a long time, Xiao Ran's heart almost jumped out of his throat, and when he heard this sentence, he almost jumped up immediately. Zhou Yanfa was slightly stunned when he heard Pinyin, and immediately felt ecstasy, and he was almost stunned at that moment.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran reacted in time and gently pushed him, and Fa Ge regained his calm gentlemanly smile and stood up and walked to the stage. Don't complain that Brother Fa is so excited, after all, this is Cannes and not the Academy Awards, and the difficulty and sense of achievement of winning this award are definitely not lower than the Oscars.

Tall and mighty, but he was a gentleman, Fa Ge walked to the stage and shook hands with the two, took the trophy, and then glanced at the audience, and stayed on Xiao Ran's face. After revealing his accustomed generous smile, he stared at Xiao Ran, and his smile became thicker and thicker.

has been able to come to this day, and he really regards Xiao Ran as his best friend in life. Without Xiao Ran's script and recommendation, he would not be able to star in "The True Color of Heroes", and he would continue to act half-red and not black.

Without Xiao Ran, he would not have been able to become a fairy hair frantically chased by filmmakers everywhere. There is no way to become the chief actor in Hong Kong in just one year, and now Xiao Ran has pushed him to the podium of this honor.

Now that he is standing at the peak of this hall, he can only say softly to Xiao Ran in Chinese from the bottom of his heart: "Ah Ran, thank you, without you, I would never have today's results." Thank you, thank you, judges! The last two sentences are spoken in pre-learned English, which is considered fluent.

This Chinese sentence obviously made everyone in the venue feel confused, but Xiao Ran knew what Fa Ge meant, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. Fa Ge is a person who values love and righteousness, and since the end of the contract with Xinyicheng, he has only accepted Phantom films, how Xiao Ran doesn't know this.

was able to push Fa Ge to his current position, which was definitely Xiao Ran's willingness, and he didn't want to see this god of acting being buried in the West like this. Thinking of everything that is happening now, I can't help but moisten the corners of my eyes slightly. When Fa Ge stepped down and walked in front of him, Xiao Ran raised his right palm and slapped Fa Ge together, revealing a knowing smile, and since then, the friendship between the two has become even closer.

Originally, he thought that it was just Fa Ge winning the award, which was inevitably a little insufficient. But after hearing Fa Ge's heartfelt words on stage, Xiao Ran's thoughts changed, he felt that as long as he could push Fa Ge to the position of the Cannes actor, it would be worth a thousand dollars.

There are two awards left, Best Director and the Palme d'Or. Xiao Ran's mood is completely different now, at this time, he already feels that it doesn't matter if he wins the award or not. Moreover, his hope of winning the award is slim.

The next award is Best Director, and it is also Xiao Ran's only award with a glimmer of hope. Seeing that Xiao Ran's indifferent appearance formed a strong contrast with Fang Cai, Fa Ge thought that Xiao Ran Fang Cai was nervous for him, and he was immediately moved.

Xiao Ran turned his head and asked An Yuxuan, who came with him all the way: "Yuxuan, has the ticket been booked?" After seeing An Yuxuan nodded, he calmed down.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back so early?" Lin Qingxia didn't understand what Xiao Ran was doing when she went back so early, so she stared at Xiao Ran in confusion and asked, "We can go to Paris for a few days and then go back!" ”

Xiao Ran sighed and patiently explained: "I don't even want to come to Cannes this time, because the crew is really busy." I made it early in the morning, and I rushed back to shoot the next day. ”

"The most important thing is that time waits for no one, a film like "Spy Change" is a strong film this summer, and I want to rely on this film to defeat the alliance of the four major companies and break up their alliance!" Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It must be released in August at the latest, so it will only be two months, and now it is only half filmed." ”

While they were talking, the award presenters came out, and it was the judges Coppola and Murray. This was obviously a surprise to the audience, and it was not uncommon for the president of the jury to present the award in person, but it was never before that the best director was awarded.

"I think it's strange that I'm going to present the Best Director award myself......" Coppola explained more than to set the mood around: "As you know, out of all the films in this competition, my personal favorite is Dark Flower. ”

"I agree with you, "Dark Flower" may not be the best film in this year, but it must be the most attractive film." Murray nodded, his expression serious, making one dare not suspect that he was joking: "The extremely smooth narrative technique, and the concise but direct and effective approach, all of this makes the film even more charming!" ”

"Because I like and appreciate Xiao Ran, a young man, I specially asked to present this award!" Speaking of this, Coppola smiled: "Actually, I did vote for him, but I don't know exactly what the result will be." So, I just hope to be able to personally present this award to this talented young man. ”
