There was silence in the Lumière Hall of the Cinema Palace, because just now the female guests announced that the winner of the Best Actress award is from the East, which is won by Lin Qingxia who starred in "Mulan". [Full text reading]

This is tantamount to dropping a depth charge at this year's Cannes Film Festival, and everyone is blindsided, and they can't react, especially the Hungarian film "Another Vision", which was shortlisted for best actress at the same time.

The film actress Yad Vega. Yankovska Cheslak was confident to hit the Best Actress award, but when the dark horse "Mulan" broke out, her dream was shattered, and she cried bitterly in her seat.

Lin Qingxia held her evening skirt in both hands, trotted Shanshan to the stage to receive the certificate and trophy from the female guests, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said very apologetically: "Everyone, I'm sorry for making you wait for a long time." It's really unexpected to win this award, I want to thank the jury, thank the entire crew of "Mulan", and of course, thank you, Ah Hu, without you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have won this award, thank you. ”

Lin Qingxia's English is not very fluent, and even stammers a little, but it does not prevent everyone from hearing what she is saying, and when she finishes, there is warm applause in the Lumière Hall.

For this actress from the East, they feel very curious, marveling at her winning the Cannes actress crown at a young age, marveling at her beauty, and marveling at her unique oriental temperament.

Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi were also happy for Lin Qingxia and applauded vigorously.

Lin Qingxia shook the trophy in her hand in a round of applause, and then walked off the podium, and when she returned to her seat, she suddenly rushed into Wang Xiaohu's arms, hugged his neck and offered a fragrant kiss, until she parted, she blushed and said, "Ah Hu, thank you so much!" ”

Then, she winked at Zhao Yazhi playfully and said, "Ah Zhi, I'm sorry just now, I was so excited, I took advantage of Ah Hu without your permission, don't blame me." ”

Zhao Yazhi chuckled and shook her head and said, "Qingxia, you are now the first actress in the Chinese film industry, it's too late to be happy for you, how can you blame it." ”

Lin Qingxia stuffed the trophy in her hand into Zhao Yazhi's hand, "If it weren't for the support of you and Ah Hu, I might still be filming literary films in Taiwan now, and this award belongs to all of us." ”

"You got it with your acting skills." Zhao Yazhi smiled and put the trophy back into Lin Qingxia's hand.

After this episode, tension began to rise throughout the Movie Palace, and the source of this tension was brought by the Chinese.

In the 35 years since the establishment of the Cannes Film Festival, this is the first time that Chinese have won such an important award in Cannes, if Wang Xiaohu won four golden men at the Academy Awards that year, he relied on directing the American film "Rocky".

So today, "Mulan" is a pure Chinese movie, those who are familiar with Wang Xiaohu know that he has maintained a close cooperative relationship with Chinese mainland in recent years, "Myth" two years ago set off a Chinese boom in the whole world, and last year's "Shaolin Temple" made Chinese kung fu popular all over the world.

Now, "Mulan" is here, and it has quietly taken away the Cannes Best Actress award, is this a prelude to the fall of a Chinese director who was once famous in the world film industry for his commercial films?

Next, there is the most important Best Director Award and the Palme d'Or, I don't know if Wang Xiaohu will be upset again!

At this time, even Wang Xiaohu, who had always been dismissive, began to get serious.

Because everything has exceeded his expectations now, it cannot be said that Lin Qingxia won the crown of Cannes actress and made him very surprised.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Lin Qingxia deserved to win the award, in order to play Mulan well, Lin Qingxia endured all the hardships, even in the most difficult years of filming in the mainland, she gritted her teeth and persevered, and the martial arts action never relied on a stand-in.

Just when Wang Xiaohu sighed, another award presenter came out, and the award he wanted to present was the Best Director Award.

Maybe it's because of Lin Qingxia's post-seal coronation just now that many people haven't caught their breath, maybe it's because the guest himself doesn't have too many humorous cells, he glanced at the post and announced the list of winners in a very flat tone: "The winner of the best director at the 35th Cannes Film Festival is Imaz. Gunny, Freedom Trail! ”

"Hmm~"

Wang Xiaohu obviously heard Zhao Yazhi and Lin Qingxia beside him let out a sigh of loss, so he asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I thought the Best Director award would be you." Lin Qingxia smiled bitterly and said, "It seems to be empty." ”

Zhao Yazhi said: "Actually, it's not necessarily, isn't there still a Palme d'Or?" Maybe there's a chance. ”

"Hehe, how come you are more confident than me?" Wang Xiaohu smiled and pinched his wife's face.

Zhao Yazhi pursed her lips and smiled as a matter of course.

Next up will be the highlight of this year's Cannes Film Festival, and the president of the jury, Pierre Murphy. Vio with the head of the French Cinémathèque Gilles. Jacob walked to the podium, and the Palme d'Or was often presented by the chairman of the jury and the head of the French Cinémathèque for each edition.

Everyone waited patiently for the two uncles to present the awards, but they chatted about family life on the podium, and talked about it in a chatter.

Jill. Jacob said with a smile: "The voting for the Palme d'Or was very difficult, we had a quarrel at one point, but in the end we agreed again, and to be honest, this is the most exhausting vote I've had in years!" ”

Jill. Jacob glanced at the post, then he pondered for a moment and said, "So, the number of winners of the Palme d'Or at the 35th Cannes Film Festival is two." ”

"Oh~~"

The audience pricked up their ears, and it was not uncommon for two films to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

"Everyone's in a hurry." The chairman of the judges smiled and said, "In that case, I'll read the first Costa. Gavras, The Great Disappearance! ”

The audience burst into warm applause. After hugging the crew, Gavras walked briskly onto the stage, and his face was full of joy from Jill . Jacob took the trophy in his hand and delivered his acceptance speech.

The chairman of the jury, Pierre. Vio suddenly changed his ridiculous tone, glanced at the post, and said in a very serious tone: "Before announcing the second Palme d'Or, I must state one thing: I specially contacted Mr. Yao Guang, the ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in France, and I have received confirmation from him that Mulan is indeed a thousand years earlier than Joan of Arc. ”

"So Tiger. Wang, Mulan! ”

Wang Xiaohu felt a little incredible after hearing his name, yes, if he heard it right, "Mulan" won the Palme d'Or, and it won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in France, you must know that this award is far more valuable than the Oscar for Best Director, at least it is worth 20,000 francs.

"Ah Hu." Zhao Yazhi called her husband's name, and was the first to react and offer her own kiss, "I said, you will win the award, my sixth sense has always been the most sensitive!" ”

"Hey, I'll bring you to the film show or something in the future." Wang Xiaohu responded fiercely to his wife's kiss, and then stood up and hugged Lin Qingxia.

"Congratulations, Ah Hu." Lin Qingxia smiled, if Zhao Yazhi behaved calmly, she was already a little too excited, and once again hooked Wang Xiaohu's neck and kissed her.

"Brother Tiger, we won two awards." Chow Yun-fat also stood up and shook hands with Wang Xiaohu warmly.

Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fa Zai, you will do it in the future, believe me!" ”

"Hmm." Chow Yun-fat nodded vigorously.

"Hey, Lao Wen, let's shake hands when I get the prize back, there is not much time left for me."

"Of course!" No one is more excited than Lao Wen, you must know that he originally thought that this trip to Cannes was a bamboo basket for water, but he didn't expect to win two awards at once, and both awards are extremely important, one of which is the Palme d'Or, he is now extremely proud, because these two awards were won under his unremitting persuasion, otherwise according to the temper of the young boss, he would not have come to participate in any film festival.

After Wang Xiaohu finished with a smile, he walked steadily onto the podium in the eyes of everyone.

"Congratulations, young man!" The chairman of the jury, Pierre. Vio stretched out his right hand, then patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder and said: "To be honest, I also did one thing before the awards, that is, I comprehensively studied your development in the world film industry and found that you have a special quirk, is that so?" ”

Wang Xiaohu holds Pierre. Vio's hand, raised his eyebrows, and asked blankly, "Quirk, why don't I know?" ”

"You almost knocked over the judges at the 46th Oscars because you're not used to hugging men!" Pierre. Vio smiled bitterly and touched his nose and said, "So I gave up the way of celebrating hugging you just now, and I was worried about my nose." ”

"Hahaha~~~"

The audience laughed, and Wang Xiaohu shrugged his shoulders and said innocently: "Yes, this can be regarded as my quirk." ”

"Tiger, what are you talking about?" Jill. Jacob handed the Palme d'Or to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu first looked at the Palme d'Or in his hand, smiled and nodded, as if he was very satisfied with the appearance of the Palme d'Or.

Then he smiled and said: "I feel very honored to be able to stand on this stage and hold this trophy symbolizing the crown of world art films from the hands of two people, thank you to the judges of the jury for giving Chinese films this precious opportunity, I would like to say that with the unremitting efforts of our Chinese, there will be more and more opportunities for Chinese films to appear on the world film stage in the future, and I would like to thank you again for awarding me this award." ”
