If other Chinese directors knew that Wang Xiaohu was in an indifferent mood at this time, they would definitely jump to their feet and scold their mother, because everyone else was squeezing their scalps to seek some fame in the international film industry, since they were shortlisted for the Cannes main unit competition, they should be nervous to death. 【】

But our tiger brother walked the red carpet with Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia very calmly, without even any excitement.

Zhao Yazhi is also very calm, in the communication between the two husbands and wives for more than ten years, she knows very well that her husband's state of mind is very peaceful at this time, after all, Concord is not like other Asian film companies, others hope to win the Palme d'Or, so that Europe and the United States can pay more attention to the films of their countries.

And Concord has no need for this at all, in the kingdom of commercial films, there is no company like Concorde, even without the embellishment of awards such as Oscar, Cannes, Venice, etc., just by virtue of the status of the global box office king in the past seven years, it is enough for any film company to be greedy and jealous!

But Lin Qingxia, Chow Yun-fat, and even Winter Dour are not, they don't have such a stable state of mind as Wang Xiaohu and his wife, and they are all nervous to death now.

Zhao Yazhi held Wang Xiaohu's right arm, Lin Qingxia held his left arm, and when the three of them appeared on the red carpet, they suddenly caused a violent click and clattering sound.

The oriental beauty on the left is the heroine of "Mulan", with long black hair and a black evening skirt, adding a heroic posture to the softness, nodding and smiling at the media reporters from time to time, like a black rose, blooming with buds, particularly delicate.

The one on the right has a calm face, embroidered with a beautiful, crystal clear blooming pink peony embroidered on the white evening dress, and occasionally faces the camera with a delicate smile like a peony in full bloom.

"Ah Hu, my feet are a little soft, so nervous."

Lin Qingxia's whole person was almost leaning on Wang Xiaohu's shoulder, she had never thought of such a big scene in her life, facing reporters with all kinds of skin and excited faces, she was a little stage frightened, and she always felt that the 24 steps in front of her were very long.

"Take a deep breath." Wang Xiaohu calmly comforted her and said: "Just as if you are filming "Mulan" now, treat these foreign reporters in front of you as soft barbarians, and show Mulan's heroic temperament." ”

Zhao Yazhi didn't feel a little funny when she heard it, she had a narrow heart, and said to Lin Qingxia: "Qingxia, don't be afraid of them, you are a mighty flower general, take out the strength you used to bully me with Ah Hu yesterday!" ”

"Ah Zhi, what nonsense are you talking about." Lin Qingxia suddenly blushed, but this is fine, just knowing that she is shy, she even forgot to be nervous.

finally walked the red carpet, under the leadership of the staff, the crew of "Mulan" came to the rightmost seat in the awards hall of the movie palace and sat down.

"Fa Zai, are you nervous too?" Lin Qingxia said.

Chow Yun-fat smiled bitterly and said: "Can I not be nervous, you are okay, I walked the red carpet with the help of Brother Hu, and my legs are still trembling." ”

Lin Qingxia turned her head with a red face when she heard this, who asked Chow Yun-fat to mention this matter just now, now she can't find a crack in the ground to get into, it's too embarrassing.

After the arrival of all the personnel, the official award ceremony begins.

Wang Xiaohu couldn't understand what the award presenters were talking about, anyway, in the 40 minutes of depression, a bunch of messy small awards were several, and from the brochure in his hand, he learned that the 35th Cannes Film Festival had sent out the Best Art Award, Best Screenplay Award, and Golden Camera Award.

The Best Art Award was taken away by France's "Invitation to Travel", the Best Screenplay Award was won by Britain's "Moonlight", and the Caméra d'Or project was a bunch of words that even Wang Xiaohu couldn't understand, God knows what kind of movie it was.

"Hey, I knew I would have brought Lijun here, at least she could be a translator." Zhao Yazhi pouted and said: "Ah Hu, the awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival is not interesting at all, it is not as lively as the Oscars, at least they still speak in English, I can still understand it." ”

"In the future, if the company has a film shortlisted, we will only come to enjoy it, and we will not participate in this high-end awards ceremony." Wang Xiaohu smiled and comforted his wife.

"Boss, the next prize is the Grand Jury Prize." Winterdur's French is also half-baked, but during this time he still made up for the pronunciation and words of various awards.

"Oh." As soon as Wang Xiaohu said a sigh here, he heard a cheer from the left, and then Winterdur let out a long sigh, "It's not us again!" ”

The Grand Jury Prize at Cannes was won by the Italian work, "A Night in San Lorenzo", and the two Taviani brothers hugged excitedly on stage to accept the prize.

"Why not us." Winterdur said depressedly: "God, can't we really get a prize back this time?" ”

You must know that the jury is second only to the Palme d'Or, and this award generally has to have a certain social significance to be obtained, "Mulan" does not have any innate advantages in this regard, and the possible surname of the award is almost zero.

Wang Xiaohu never thought of winning any awards in Cannes at all, because he knew that although Chinese films in his previous life had repeatedly entered Cannes, only Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" won the Palme d'Or, Wang Xiaohu believes that although "Mulan" is more than 20 years ahead of the world, it is undeniable that "Mulan" cannot reach the height of "Farewell My Concubine" in terms of artistic value.

As I said before, the semi-literary and semi-commercial "Mulan" is an experimental product of Wang Xiaohu, a semi-finished product that explores the way for Hong Kong films and Chinese films.

"Mulan" has now caused enough sensation in Cannes, for Wang Xiaohu, the task has been successfully completed, and I came here to participate in the award ceremony, but also to learn from the so-called high-end atmosphere of the French, to see if we can absorb the successful experience of others, and improve the various systems and measures of the Hong Kong Film Awards.

When it was the turn of the Best Actor Award, Wang Xiaohu noticed that Chow Yun-fat leaned forward with a nervous face, it was obvious that Fa Tsai cared about this award very much, but Wang Xiaohu felt that it was impossible.

In the whole "Mulan", whether it is a commercial version or an experimental product thrown into Cannes, don't look at Chow Yun-fat under the banner of male lead, but his role is extraordinarily small, in fact, it can't be said to be less, but the setting of the script restricts Fa Zai's play in the film, in comparison, Fei Xiaolong played by Stephen Chow is particularly good in the three plots, and even more eye-catching than Fa Zai.

Sure enough, the guests on the stage did not pronounce "" (Chow Yun-fat's English name), let alone mention the word "mulan".

Best Actor was the big hit in the main competition unit, the American film "The Great Disappearance" Jack. Lemon took it.

So far, "Mulan" has not received anything at the 35th Cannes Film Festival, Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yashi have always faced it calmly, while Winterdur and Chow Yun-fat are extremely depressed.

After the Best Actor, the host invited the guests to announce the Best Actress.

I heard the guests chatter on the stage, and then there was a commotion in the audience, and then many people looked at Wang Xiaohu.

"Old Wen, what's the situation?" At this time, not only Zhao Yazhi and others began to wonder, but even Wang Xiaohu also felt that something was wrong.

"Boss, wait." Winterdur tensed his body and listened attentively to what the presenters on stage were saying.

Not only that, but some people present pricked up their ears, and heard the guests suddenly call a name.

The audience was quiet, no one reacted, which made the female guest feel a little incredible, she cleared her throat, and after communicating with the host, she shouted clearly in English: "qingxia-lin, mulan!" ”

“qingxia-lin，mulan！”

Now there is no need for Winterdur to react, Wang Xiaohu also reacted in time, if the female guest did not understand when he read in French just now, now he called twice in a row in English, although her pronunciation is not very accurate, although it sounds very naïve, but Wang Xiaohu has understood.

That's right!

It was Lin Qingxia who won the Best Actress at the 35th Cannes Film Festival!

"Boss, boss!" Winterdur turned around excitedly, "Boss, it's us, it's us!" ”

"I know!" Wang Xiaohu nodded with a smile, and gently pushed Lin Qingxia with his hand: "Queen, go up and receive the award!" ”

After the good sisters won the Cannes film, Zhao Yazhi was the first to cross Wang Xiaohu after figuring it out, took her hand, and said with joy: "Qingxia, go quickly!" The guests on stage are waiting for you! ”

"Me, did I just say that?" Lin Qingxia was stunned, and the moment she stood up, she felt that the eyes of the whole audience were focused on her, and she felt a little dizzy at that moment.

"That's right! It's you! Zhao Yazhi hugged her and couldn't help crying.

"It's really me." Lin Qingxia also cried, biting her lip and hugging Zhao Yazhi hard.

"Come on, you see that the guests are embarrassed now." Wang Xiaohu reminded.

Lin Qingxia bit her lip, wiped her tears, and after separating from Lin Qingxia, she hugged and celebrated with Winterdur and Chow Yun-fat, and finally suddenly turned around and hugged Wang Xiaohu hard, "Ah Hu, thank you!" ”

"Hehe, silly girl, you deserve it." patted Lin Qingxia's hair, "Come on, simple thanks English can handle it, right?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Qingxia crossed the crowd, raised her hand to cover her small mouth and rushed all the way to the podium, because the speed of running over was a little too fast, she was still panting when she received the trophy from the female guest.
