Cui Rongpei rubbed his hands, and the five or six platinum rings on his fingers were dazzling in the sun.

After listening to Lin Xiao's analysis, for a while, he nodded slightly, "You can think about it." ”

"Before the end of the year, I look forward to the good news of the film festival."

Cui Rongpei nodded noncommittally.

For the rest of the day, everyone is waiting for the final list to be released.

Everyone seemed to be calmly strolling around the Cannes Side Market Exhibition, but Lin Xiao was bleeding from watching it, he found a lot of good movies, but they couldn't be released because they didn't have distribution rights.

The sunlight spilled into the house from outside, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of lilies wafting in the air, Lin Xiao yawned and sat up from the bed, and breakfast had been neatly placed in front of him.

An egg and ham sandwich, a glass of warm milk, two pieces of toasted toast, served with butter and colorful jams on the side.

Over time, all those who were expected to be selected chose silence almost at the same time.

Reporters are squatting outside the hotel anytime and anywhere, and the larger film booths of the market exhibition outside the conference are taken care of, and the major TV stations around the world are eager to interview the important film personnel who have entered the major units before the final list is announced.

Lin Xiao drank milk and looked out the window silently.

His hotel is right next to the venue, and from this angle, you can see the crowded Cannes conference.

The bright red carpet has been rolled out from the entrance of the Grand Theater, and the violet and red irises are placed on both sides. Despite its width, not a single person walked up to it.

This is in preparation for the real gala to come, and on the last day, the final list of Cannes will be announced.

Of the hundreds of films shortlisted for major units, only three or four will be able to enter the final race, and two-thirds will be swept away by the waves!

His mood has been difficult to calm down since yesterday, for the Palme d'Or, this time he didn't want to think too much, but he intuitively felt that with the level of the Han River monster, he should be shortlisted.

Every year, movies are developing, so I have to watch the classics of a few years ago a few years later, and feel disdainful, and the movies that should have been reviewed in 07 were put in 06 for review, which itself made the level of monsters invisibly go up a notch.

"Knock knock." Just as he had finished breakfast, there was a knock on the door, and when the door was opened, a middle-aged man, with a big French nose, wavy shawl hair, and a short golden beard, stood at the door with a smile and a slight bow.

"Mr. Lin, congratulations, for your outstanding performance in Monster, you won the invitation for Best Actor in the main competition. Tomorrow night, you'll be joined by one of the heroines of 'The Return', Laura. Dunas enters the Paris Opera. ”

The words were very short, but they exploded in my ears like a heavenly sound, and after five days of waiting, I finally waited for this sentence!

Cannes, the world's most well-known film festival, all the lists, released today, after six years, from TV series, commercials, endorsements, movies, step by step, and now, the Palme d'Or is finally shining in a place close to him!

Shortly after the other party left, his phone was already ringing frantically.

In the global film and television industry, thousands of pairs of eyes are staring at Cannes, and this list has become the fuse of Cannes night.

"Mr. Lin, I'm a reporter from CCTV6, congratulations on your shortlisting for the Cannes Best Actor, I want to have an exclusive interview with you, and now the audience across the country is waiting for you to say a few words for them! This is the first time in ten years that a mainland artist has been nominated for the Cannes Best Actor! ”

"Mr. Lin, I'm a BBC TV reporter, congratulations on being shortlisted for Best Actor, do you have time for an interview?"

His phone was blown up, and as soon as he answered a few, there was a "knock knock" knock on the door.

As soon as it was opened, Christina flew in and gave him a ferocious hug.

"Oh, Lin! I'm so excited, this is the best actor in Cannes! There is no comparison with the Golden Horse you have obtained before! Once you win the Best Actor in Cannes, the whole world will remember you! You can't even think of being famous! ”

As soon as she got the news, she immediately dialed Lin Xiao's phone, but others were faster, and she couldn't get in on the phone at all, so she ran directly to congratulate her.

It took half an hour for Lin Xiao to finish answering the phone. Christina excitedly said, "How's it going?" What time is tomorrow? Oh, my God...... It's been a long time since I've been to such a grand awards ceremony, with whom? ”

Listening to her incoherent words excitedly, Lin Xiao suppressed the ups and downs in his heart, and said with a smile, "Starting at six o'clock tomorrow night, I will walk the red carpet with Laura, one of the returning heroines, and I have been notified just now." ”

Christina bit her lip and patted him on the shoulder very womanly, "Nomination, equals victory." Have you ever heard of 'The Curse of the Actor?' ’”

"What's that?"

Christina smiled and said, "Actually, I don't approve of and don't want you to win this award, it's not good for your development." The so-called curse of the actor is that after an artist wins an authoritative award, his career plummets, don't believe it, you look through the artists who have won the Oscar in history, which one is not like this? Those who escaped were few and far between. ”

"This is because once he wins the award, especially the young man, his confidence will swell, complacency, pride and other negative emotions will follow, these emotions are more, less effort is used in acting, even if you know, it is difficult to escape, I hope you will win this award in a few years, and when you can really fully control your emotions, this award can really belong to you!"

Lin Xiao smiled, in his body, the age of the soul is old enough, and the ups and downs are not unexperienced, he thinks he can grasp such emotions.

However, he also smiled and sighed, "Accept your auspicious words, but this time the Cannes actor, I'm afraid I don't have much hope." ”

Christina shrugged, "It's very small, unless there are five or six movie queens this time, the monster's hope is too slim." Do you want a literary film director to turn Cannes upside down? ”

The two chatted for a while and had a happy lunch, and when they came back, the Prada representative who had lunch with Lin Xiao a few days ago had already hurriedly circled around the door of his room.

"Dear Lin! You're finally back! Seeing him come back, the other party wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head and laughed "As an endorsement contract, you are now obliged to wear Prada's fashion, walk on that red carpet, and look at the ......"

He pointed to the people around him, four or five people, who had come with a suitcase.

"Styles that are not on sale this year, exclusive models, all ...... inside"

Lin Xiao interrupted him, "SORRY, I REMEMBER THAT I AM THE SPOKESPERSON OF ASIA-PACIFIC, THIS IS PARIS, I CAN WEAR OTHER BRANDS." ”

The representative almost jumped to his feet, how could this be?! You don't wear Prada for this kind of occasion? How did he reply!

And which spokesperson is not in good shape? He actually negotiated terms with Prada? Artists should have to tie up these top luxury brands, right?

He didn't know, and now he said that if he didn't wear Prada on the edge of Asia, Muccia wouldn't say anything.

"Oh, Lin, you can't do that, President Muccia said, you'll love it."

Lin Xiao's lips twitched, shameless! Shameless! The implication of the other party's words is obvious, if she advertises Prada, she will make a little more money, and if she doesn't do it, it will be difficult to say.

Anyway, today is a set, and I have to put clothes on Lin Xiao.

And at this moment, in distant China, the entire film and television industry is in high spirits.

How many years has there been no artist in the mainland who has been nominated for Best Actor? Now that there's finally another one, how not to cheer them up?

Magazines and media have reported on the current situation in Paris one after another, and the process of Lin Xiao's interview has been reprinted on video websites and the Internet. And the homepage of his official website is full of applause, and countless fans have piled up a high blessing building, wishing their idols to become world-class stars.

"Great news, Lin Shuai has been nominated for Best Actor in a Cannes Movie!" "Cannes? What is that? "Anyway, it's a pretty good award, it's much more famous than the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, and the Golden Horse, and I heard that it's as powerful as the Oscars!"

Posts like this, there are not a hundred but eighty, and for a while, most of the film and television forums on the Internet knew that there were mainland artists nominated for Cannes.

I'm afraid there won't be much time like now, praying for Lin Xiao with one heart, hoping that he will win the Cannes Grand Prix.

The next night, dozens of spotlights lit up the Paris Opera House as if it were daylight, and the entire opera house was surrounded by a group of journalists, security guards, and fans.

On the red carpet, Lin Xiao has been quite proficient, Laura is wearing a red evening dress, with his white suit and black shirt, which complements each other, and the appearance of the two murdered countless films until they entered the opera house.

Lin Xiao sat down in his place, and the people next to him were Bong Junhao and Zheng Duobin.

The hundreds of seats in the opera house are full at the moment, and even if everyone is smiling, everyone can feel the waves below.

At eight o'clock, all the nominees and interested parties entered on time, and as the lights went out, the night of Cannes finally began.

"Gentlemen and ladies." A man's voice rang out on the stage: "Welcome to the scene of Cannes Night, the beautiful flower capital of Paris." I am the chairman of this year's jury, Wong Kar-wai. ”

Wong Kar-wai, who had an ordinary face, smiled and bowed slightly to the audience, attracting a wave of applause, he waved his hand, and then said, "In the past year, the world's films have made great progress, and the Cannes Film Festival is to select who is the best work in this batch of masterpieces, who is the best artist, the moment of the director, not much to say, let's watch the big screen." ”

On the big screen, a golden palm tree logo shines, which is familiar to all artists, the golden palm logo.

"Main Competition, Best Picture Shortlist."

"The Return, Volver, Spain, Pedro Almodóvar."

"What's going on?" Offstage, Tom Hanks' eyes widened slightly, "God, how did you award the main competition unit at the beginning?" Isn't that out of line? ”
