readx;

It can be said that this Palme d'Or is the final drama of the Cannes awards, and this Palme d'Or is the grand prize that countless people want to win. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Xiaotang also wanted to take it, but he knew very well that he had just won the best director, and anyone who knew the rules knew that it was impossible for the next award to be awarded to him, otherwise it would be too rebellious. In a certain form, winning the best director may be a consolation prize, in order to make way for the Palme d'Or, in Chen Xiaotang's heart, the next Palme d'Or is likely to be produced in several Soviet films, after all, tonight is the peak period of Soviet films, "Jurassic" does not occupy the advantage of art films, and it is estimated that he is very content to win the jury award, just like himself, he is also very content to win the best director.

Cattle people like Chen Xiaotang think so, and of course others will think so, so everyone is focusing on art films with high artistic content, after all, Cannes is a famous art film mecca, not seeking high box office, only more or less artistic content.

At this time, the guest of honor was Gilles Eiffel, the chairman of the jury of the conference.

Eiffel came to the stage and looked at the countless guests in the audience and said with a smile: "There are a lot of art films in Cannes, and we have all enjoyed these films, and we can't help but admit that as the temple of art in world cinema, Cannes is becoming more and more cosmopolitan, international and artistic!" ”

"The doors of Cannes are always open to you, and as long as you can make a good film, you can get great glory and glory here! Cannes belongs to the world, and the world belongs to you! You can use a video camera to record all the stories of people living around the world, and this is the stage where you tell your stories. ”

"Okay, I won't talk so much nonsense, lest the big guy think I'm verbose, hehe...... Let me now announce the last award of this edition. That is, the list of winners of the Palme d'Or! Under the gradual silence of the audience, Eiffel raised the sealed answer in his hand, glanced at the nominated teams with burning eyes, and then slowly opened the envelope, looked at it carefully, and then stared down and shouted: "The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 43rd Cannes Film Festival is ......"

Although Chen Xiaotang really wants to go and doesn't care much about this award, but sometimes people may not be able to exercise self-control, and his heart is high, although he knows that he has little hope. And he has already won the Best Director Award that he is most eager to get, but deep down, he still has a little hope......

"The Palme d'Or winner is ......" Eiffel obviously didn't know that his appetite was quite high, and with the use of music to arouse the emotions of the scene, it was almost at its peak. I saw him suddenly shout: "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace"! ”

In an instant, Chen Xiaotang's heart was beating fast. At that moment, he was a little confused, he couldn't believe that he had scored twice and won the award again! And it won the Cannes Palme d'Or for the biggest head!!

At this moment, a ridiculous thought popped into his mind: The judges couldn't have stuffed the wrong envelope?!

Just when Chen Xiaotang was stunned, Wang Jing, the fat man next to him, was so anxious that he kicked Chen Xiaotang hard below, reminding him: "Why are you still stunned." Hurry up and get on stage!"

Chen Xiaotang woke up to the fact that he had really won the award!

Standing up quite unnaturally, Chen Xiaotang bowed very gentlemanly in front of everyone, and then walked onto the stage.

At this time. On stage, Eiffel was explaining why the film won the award.

"As we all know, we in Cannes have always been known for art films, and we have a lot of support for art films, and the reason why the Palme d'Or was awarded to "Havoc in Heaven" this time is very commercial. The reason for the 3D blockbuster that is a box office hit is simple. What we see in this is not only business, but also art! ”

"I don't know if you have noticed the use of classical Chinese landscape painting in this play, and the dynamic beauty in the martial arts action editing, have you seen the ingenuity of this play...... I can now say that this "Havoc in Heaven" is actually an art film with commercial packaging! ”

……

The guests in the audience quietly listened to Eiffel's incendiary narration, among them were some old opponents of Magic Shadow Entertainment, and now they all have to admit that the Chinese film "Havoc in Heaven" does have a strong sense of art!

Okay, Chen Xiaotang is going to say a few words on stage again, he can't just say two or three words on stage like he just won the best director, but it's not fun!

So, Chen Xiaotang took the stage again, and then faced the entire audience at the scene, as well as more than one billion viewers around the world in front of the TV, and said: "I really didn't expect to win this year's Palme d'Or!" I'm so excited! Everyone asked me to say more, but I really didn't know what to say. I have always been grateful to those who have silently supported me behind the scenes, especially those fans and fans, without you, I would not be where I am today! ”

"Actually, from the moment I made my comeback, I just told myself, Chen Xiaotang, you have been linked to movies all your life, and you can't get rid of it, no matter how your identity and status change, you will always be a filmmaker!"

"Yes, I'm a filmmaker, I love movies, I love this kind of creative business that entertains everyone. One day, when I get old, I will tell myself that your film has recorded everything you have, so that as filmmakers, we are much luckier than the average person, because we have enough memories to remember the past! ”

"I didn't shoot this film as an art film, so I was surprised to win the Palme d'Or. Because I've always believed that art films can only please a small part of the audience, while commercial films are more popular. I'm not saying here that there is anything bad about art films, on the contrary, this kind of film is the best weapon to cleanse the human soul. However, my personal focus is on the shooting and exhibition of commercial films. Many people say that it is because I love money too much and love the box office too much. I don't deny this, I once said, I am a filmmaker and a businessman, and Magic Entertainment was created by me, and I want to feed thousands of people in Magic Entertainment, so I have to consider the sensitive issue of efficiency when making movies. Now, I have succeeded, I stand on this stage and I have received the highest recognition in the field of art in Cannes. I was amazed and touched by the fact that everyone recognized my achievements in merging business and art! ”

"The earth is turning every minute and every second, and as filmmakers, we are creating every moment, bringing you the dream of fairy tales, bringing vivid stories, and bringing comfort to your heart...... Movies are a magical thing that heals wounds and pleases people. Cleanse the soul and benefit the public. I love movies, and I love you audiences even more, because you are the most original motivation for me to create movies! So here I have one last word, which is thank you! Chen Xiaotang bowed and thanked him. Hold the trophy high.

As Chen Xiaotang's words landed, everyone applauded, and what everyone wanted to express at this moment was congratulations and encouragement to Chen Xiaotang, because he let everyone know what a real filmmaker is!!

And finally, in thunderous applause. Chen Xiaotang announced a sentence: "I welcome all aspiring filmmakers from all over the world to come to Hong Kong, and our film investment silver will pave the way for your film career, capital, and manpower." All the material resources are prepared for you, come on, Hong Kong is the place where you put on your wings and fly, Hong Kong welcomes you. Welcome to the Shadow!! “

Bang!

Dig the foot of the wall openly!

And it's digging the corners of film companies all over the world!

Chen Xiaotang's words are like an oath to announce that Hong Kong has opened up to the former world cinema. It has successfully integrated into the world stage and has taken on the role of a film aircraft carrier!

The applause was even better than just now!

The world is a sensation!

It is said that after Chen Xiaotang's speech, filmmakers from all over the world who have always been reluctant to come to Hong Kong have finally flocked to Hong Kong, and even Hollywood has inevitably lost some talents. I can't complain that the fat man often says: "I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in the world than believe in Rafi Chen's mouth!" He can shake all the filmmakers in the world half-dead, and he has been caught by him!! ”

That night, Eiffel, the chairman of the French Cannes jury, gave an evaluation of this year's Cannes: "This is a night for Chinese films!" Although we always knew that this day would come, we didn't expect it to be so soon! ”

No one thought that it could be so fast, not even Chen Xiaotang thought of it. But he ignored one thing, when he appeared, Hong Kong films were in the exhibition period. His appearance is a variable, stabilizing the market and changing everything that can damage Hong Kong films. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that Hong Kong films will continue to maintain a high level of performance.

"A glorious night of Chinese movies or Hong Kong movies!" Many newspapers and magazines have taken Eiffel's evaluation, and regarded this session as the official entry of Hong Kong films into a multi-racial complexity.

It means that Hong Kong has gone through all these years of exhibition, and after this night, through the display of strength, through the success of Chen Xiaotang, it has announced to the world that Hong Kong has become the second film center in the world that can attract filmmakers by attracting overseas talents, and has the strength to challenge Hollywood.

How can Hollywood continue to show and become the supreme temple in the hearts of filmmakers around the world? technology and technology, a perfect film system and a huge and lucrative fund, as well as a strong market and appeal.

Why should Hong Kong challenge Hollywood? At the level of technology and technology, after years of cultivating various talents and research, Shadow has definitely been able to equal Hollywood. In terms of funding, the film investment bank established by Magic Shadow Entertainment is enough to prove everything.

Mention the market? Hong Kong films have a market all over the world, but Hollywood can't enter Hong Kong no matter what. When it comes to the perfection of the film system, Hong Kong cannot be said to be completely mature, but it has definitely taken shape. And the most important thing is that prop masters and lighting artists who are not valued in Hong Kong can get the glory and attention they deserve. In Hong Kong, the director-centered system created by Chen Xiaotang can definitely attract Hollywood directors.

Perhaps the only thing that Hong Kong films are not enough to challenge Hollywood is the salary! However, this refers definitely not to the remuneration of the staff behind the scenes. The Shadow has done an absolutely good job in this regard, leading the whole of Hong Kong to raise the pay of the behind-the-scenes staff to the price it deserves over the years, rather than polarizing the stars like Hollywood.

The next day, Chen Xiaotang led the team to triumphantly and met the "warm hospitality" of the reporters at the airport.

In the face of this enthusiasm, Chen Xiaotang kept silent, but pushed Wang Fatzi out again as a meat shield.

Wang Fatzi is not stupid or stupid, he can't cope with it alone, so he pulls everyone into the water together, the meaning is obvious, he wants to die in a boat! So, the old man Huang Zhan, the old monster Xu Ke, and the elder brother, Liu Dehua, they all became guns to fight back against the reporters, and they were used as guns by the fat man, making their mouths dry. The fat man showed his salty and wet side in a very coquettish manner, and asked the reporter rhetorically: "I heard that French girls are very romantic, but unfortunately I don't have time to play here!" Do you have any good introductions? "Directly killed those gossiping reporters into pimps.

After returning to Hong Kong, Chen Xiaotang and his gang were received like a heroic triumphant, and they couldn't help but be greeted by the governor of Hong Kong, the people from Xinhua News Agency, and even Shao Daheng, Zou Huai, Lei Juekun and others also came to greet them, and that kind of scene was comparable to the national yuan.

Outside the airport, there are now a lot of people gathered, most of them are reporters, seeing Chen Xiaotang coming out of the airport, although many reporters want to come up to "block", but seeing the eight bodyguards around him, he finally suppressed his desire ~ hope, and could only watch him take the lead in the waiting hall under the greeting of the Governor of Hong Kong and Shao Daheng and others.

Greetings and celebrations are inevitable, and everyone's enthusiasm made Chen Xiaotang a little unbearable, so he had to get into Shao Tycoon's special car halfway and take the opportunity to escape.

In the car, Shao Tycoon looked at this sweaty young movie tycoon and couldn't help but sigh, and expressed great sympathy for his current situation, alas, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, who made you so popular.

"Ahem, Sixth Uncle, can you stop looking at me like this, I'm embarrassed!" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but say.

Shao Daheng smiled, "What's so embarrassing, you have earned glory for Hong Kong, and you have also earned glory for Chinese films, everyone regards you as a hero, you should be!" “

"I'm dizzy. That's why I can't stand it, and being too enthusiastic will seem strange! “

"Okay, seeing that you are sweating profusely, do you want to blow the wind by the river?" Shao Daheng said and asked the driver to park the car on the edge of the Xiangjiang River.

The two got out of the car together, and the bodyguards around them were waiting on both sides.

A cool breeze blows on the river, which makes people feel a lot better.

"Ah Tang, don't you think that the current Hong Kong is no longer the Hong Kong it used to be?"

"No, nothing has changed," Chen Xiaotang looked at Xiangjiang and said, "It's just a little faster, and it's more prosperous than before." ”

"No, I'm talking about the future ...... of Hong Kong," Shao Daheng said softly as he faced the river breeze, "The reason why I used to give up movies and switch to television was because I saw that the future of movies was not good, and it was likely that they would become silent after ten glorious years." But I was wrong, the dialect of Hong Kong movies now will only be better than before! ”

Shao Tycoon seems to be very depressed about his inaccurate prediction, but Chen Xiaotang almost laughed out loud, it's not that you can't predict accurately, but because of my appearance against the sky, otherwise the current Hong Kong movies are estimated to be really like yours, and they will collapse!

"Alas, so I'm old, and the world of this movie will be yours in the future!" Shao Tycoon sighed, "Ah Tang, do you know that from the moment you won the award in Cannes, your reputation has been like this Xiangjiang will live on forever!" And this is an achievement that I have been pursuing all my life and have never been able to achieve! “

Chen Xiaotang could understand Shao Daheng's mood, and at the same time, he suddenly felt that the heavy burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier. The original cynical mood after his comeback became vanished in Shao Daheng's earnest words.

There is still a long way to go!

Facing the vast Xiangjiang River, Chen Xiaotang suddenly had such a thought!
