The "Signal" crew arrived late at the Cannes Film Festival, and the first screening was scheduled for the afternoon of the second day after they arrived in Cannes.

At the premiere scene, in addition to the representatives of the organizers of the competition, other East Asian filmmakers who participated in the exhibition also came to watch the ceremony.

Ning Hao, Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi dressed up to attend the premiere of the short film "Signal" at the Palais du Cinema in Cannes.

At the premiere scene, in addition to the representatives of the organizers of the competition, other East Asian filmmakers who participated in the exhibition also came to watch the ceremony.

Park Chan-wook, the director of the stolen movie "Old Boy", brought the male protagonist Choi Min-sik and the female protagonist Kang Hye-jung to communicate with Ning Hao.

Wang Xun is very impressed by this movie, mainly because the director tells a story of revenge so perverted, it is not easy!

The director of the nuclear film "Nobody Knows" is Hiroshi Kore-eda and himself came to meet Ning Hao.

Brother Hao's "Incense" is still very influential in the nuclear countries.

Okay, the King of Sunglasses didn't come, but the man god came over.

Yang Xiaomi stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Manshen.

As for why they are so familiar?

Maybe it's the wedding of the eldest cousin, introduced by Zeng Damei?

The short film is only 10 minutes long from start to finish.

When the interior lights come on, the theater sounds... Scarce applause.

After watching it, Man Shen whispered in Yang Xiaomi's ear: "Pretty girl, Wang Xun's directing level is very good!" You'll have a chance to win prizes in the future! ”

Yang Xiaomi pursed her red lips lightly and said modestly: "Oh, I don't know if he will choose me as the heroine in the future when he makes movies." ”

Manshen recalled the whole short film and said firmly: "It will be, you are his light!" ”

In the next few days, Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi followed Ning Hao to attend the screening ceremony of several other Asian films, and they all returned the favor, after all, they also participated in the Cannes premiere of "Signal".

After paying off their love debts, Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi, who had nothing to do, began their journey to Cannes to watch movies.

Some of the films in the exhibition will be screened continuously in the auditorium for visitors and filmmakers to see.

Wang Xun strongly advocated going to see "The Old Woman Killer" filmed by the talented director Coen Brothers, starring the veteran actor Tommy Hanks.

What do you think of this movie?

This kind of black humor requires a distinctive cultural background.

In addition to watching a few shorts nominated for the best short film in the main competition unit, Yang Xiaomi is a competitor.

deliberately took Wang Xun to watch "Fahrenheit 9/11", and after reading it, he was not surprised at all, isn't this a conspiracy theory that Chinese people often say?

And can this be called a documentary?

It's really very good, and it's very reasonable.

But Yang Xiaomi likes it very much, she likes to watch the ugly country director pick up the ugly country bottoms.

Two days before the closing ceremony of the film, Wang Xun received a notice of retention from the film festival organizing committee, which was already hinting that he would gain something at the awards ceremony.

Wang Xun, who was in a good mood, accompanied Yang Xiaomi to visit a nearby shopping mall.

This may be Wang Xun's most wrong decision.

In less than half an hour, Lao Qin and Xiao Li's hands were already full of clothes and bags, and they were of different sizes.

Yang Xiaomi's beautiful name is filial piety.

Wang Xun complained that he came to Cannes to buy goods.

However, Wang Xun also met his true love in the shopping mall, and there was a new single-lens reflex camera on the camera counter this year: the Canon EOS-5D with a full-frame CMOS sensor, this model is an epoch-making mid-range full-frame SLR "machine king" in this era, Wang Xun walked over and fiddled with it a few times and quickly decided to buy one.

Yang Xiaomi walked up to him and mocked: "Trouble, do you know how to take pictures?" ”

Wang Xun took his eyes off the frame and raised his SLR camera at her: "Mimi, please remove the word "?" for me!"

Before the sun sets, let's go to the seaside street to take pictures."

"Katsa... Kacha... Katsa..."

On the Martinez waterfront, the Place du Cinémath, and the Mediterranean-style streets of downtown Cannes, Wang Xun and his family took a lot of photos.

There's no woman who doesn't like to take pictures!

If the result is great, it's easier to get hearts!

It just so happens that Wang Xun is a photographer who has worked hard to be a director.

This is not fragrant kiss and took the initiative to send it.

On May 23, 2004, at 6 p.m. local time in Cannes, the closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the 57th Cannes International Film Festival was held in the Miel Hall of the Palais du Cinémath.

The crew of "Signal", who dressed up again, appeared on the Cannes red carpet together with Ning Hao.

Well, when it comes to dressing, it's actually the fashion of the honey-seeking clothing brand.

Yang Xiaomi, as the eldest lady of the Honey Hunting Group, has no clothing endorsement.

At present, international luxury brands are not working in China, let alone borrowing "haute couture" to attend the award ceremony.

A third of the way through the red carpet is the so-called "photocall" zone, where media reporters from all over the world and a small number of fans crowd the sides and shout the names of the star actors.

Yang Xiaomi, as the representative of the appearance of the group, stopped in this area, allowing the reporters to take pictures frantically, and the flash did not stop for a while.

Wang Xun, who was following her, suddenly took out the SLR camera like a trick, knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Mimi, look here." ”

Yang Xiaomi was obviously stunned when she heard it, and then posed generously towards Wang Xun's camera and cooperated with the photo.

The surrounding media reporters were also in an instant uproar.

Why did some peers run to the red carpet and shoot directly?

However, when he noticed that Wang Xun was dressed, he still reacted that he was an actor in the crew, and then smiled and recorded this scene with a camera.

Of course, Wang Xun deliberately designed this scene: in addition to hiring professional photographers to take pictures because domestic actresses are not popular these years, there is also his desire to make Yang Xiaomi famous.

In his understanding of the concept of stars and actors in the new century, there is no principle of "doing things in a high-profile manner and being a low-key person".

What did he tell him about the actor's acting skills and go all over the world, and he doesn't need to be exposed.

That's no need for overexposure!

Therefore, being an actor is a profession that needs opportunities and exposure very much, and so many new faces debut every year, if you are not careful, you will disappear from everyone and disappear in the film and television industry.

Does anyone remember the names of the little actors in "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" except for Gazi and Zhang Yishan?

In the future, even Mesozoic actors with good acting skills will often appear on popular variety shows, in addition to promoting new works, they also have the meaning of brushing their faces more and increasing exposure.

After walking the red carpet, enter the theater inside the Palais des Cinémétes and take a seat.

When Yang Xiaomi looked at the venue curiously, Wang Xun was bored, and the award ceremony finally began.

The chairman of the jury of this year's film festival, Quentin Tarantino, a famous director of Chouguo, is the one who preaches the Chinese dialect in Chouguo and translates "awesome" into "super cool".

After comic came to the stage to deliver a speech, after saying a few words, the award ceremony officially began.

Awards have been awarded one after another, and the Cannes Film Festival as a whole is still very serious, with no singing and dancing performances interspersed in between, at most the award presenters ridiculed each other.

People from all over the world, many of whom don't speak the same language, often stand behind a small podium with two award presenters.

Each has its own words, and they are so close that they have to rely on the interpreter on the spot to understand what each other wants to express.

How so?

Form is greater than meaning, ridiculing loneliness.

Wang Xun, who participated in the Cannes Film Festival for the first time, was still a little unaccustomed to it, and the whole award ceremony lasted one or two hours.

Just take turns to accept the award, and then give an acceptance speech, which makes the waiting people in the audience very bored!

The most important thing is that he can't understand most people's speeches!

I don't know what those people on the stage, with a handful of snot and tears, are talking crookedly.

Not many people have the impression that the award presenter opens the envelope, you make a joke to me, I will make a joke to you.

Or show the highlights of a few shortlisted films on the big screen, pulling some suspense or something.

These things, the Cannes Film Festival does not have!

Their award process is simple and crude, and the award presenters go up and start pointing to the theme and announcing who has won the award.

When the camera swept to him, Wang Xun had to be a little more serious, make an empathetic expression, and nodded at the camera.

It's so tiring!

But Yang, Sheniu, and Honey have to be you!

Gong Huang can talk to you.

As the host invited the judges to sit on stage, two more heavyweight awards were presented.

Man Shen won the title in one fell swoop with "Clean", and since then the godhead has been condensed, and he is the only winner of the "Three European Queens" in East Asia.

14-year-old Liu Le Yuya defeated Liang Manchu of "2045" with "Nobody Knows" to be crowned emperor.

Xu Laowei came to the stage as a judge, Wang Xun frowned, and sighed in his heart.

Does the Festival de Cannes have a tradition of awarding awards to its own national filmmakers?

But fortunately, when he read: "The winner of the Jury Award for Best Short Film this year was Trafic." ”

Wang Xun's brows stretched, and Yang Xiaomi shook Wang Xun's hand tightly.

Then ugly country director Jerry Schhazeberg appeared on the stage and directly announced: "The winner of the Palme d'Or for this year's best short film is "Signs". ”

After that, he smiled and pointed to Wang Xun in the audience, as if...

Teachers at the school give certificates to students who do well in their studies.

Yang Xiaomi was stunned and looked at Wang Xun blankly.

Wang Xun pulled her straight to the podium.

The two stood still, Wang Xun stood aside gentlemanly and carefully carried the microphone under Yang Xiaomi's mouth.

Yang Xiaomi was a little confused, but she woke up instantly with good psychological quality, and she was generous and decent: "Thank you to the jury, thank you to our signal team, thank you for accompanying me all the way, and of course, I sincerely thank director Wang Xun for shooting the most beautiful me."

I also want to thank my mom and dad, they are not in this industry, but I hope I am here today to make you proud.

In the end, I am very happy that this film can be recognized by many people.

But I really need to be thankful for this land of my motherland, China.

I hope you have time to visit my hometown Yanjing, Yanjing welcomes you!

Thank you! ”

Yang Xiaomi's acceptance speech was heard by the people in the venue after simultaneous interpretation, and there was a round of goodwill applause and applause.

Wang Xun took the microphone with a smile and said with a smile: "My words have been finished by her, so let's add a word." ”

Immediately, the venue burst into good-natured laughter.

Wang Xun pressed down with his hands, and said with a domineering expression: "I am 17 years old this year, and I won the short film Palme d'Or the first time I came to Cannes.

I hope that in the near future, when I come back to Cannes, I will be able to take away the Palme d'Or trophy that has not yet been seen! ”

Only then did the audience know that the winner of this best short film was actually a 17-year-old young man, even if he spoke ambitiously, it was very in line with the style of young people, who hasn't been young!

Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi held up the award certificates to show the reporters and cameramen, which is also a fly in the ointment of Cannes: except for the Palme d'Or for Best Picture, all other awards can only be won with certificates, no trophies.

In the next award process, the Jury Prize was awarded to Park Chan-wook's "Old Boy", and the best director was awarded to Tony Cliff.

The Biggest Cake Palme d'Or went to Michael Moore's pseudo-documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

The director gave an acceptance speech and said: "A few weeks ago, we still encountered a lot of difficulties, and now the whole world can see this movie!" ”

Wang Xun didn't want to complain about him, if it weren't for the fact that the chairman of the jury was Quentin's tease, the group of people on the jury would all be white left.

With this pseudo-documentary, he still wants to win an award?

What about dreaming?

There will be a filmmakers' party after the Cannes Film Festival, and Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi also went to participate in it when they were bored, but when they arrived at the place, they found that the grade was average and it was even more boring.

Just when the two of them were bored, their respective phones rang.

Wang Xun is the newlywed cousin Danchao: "Brother, congratulations!" Your "Signal" winning the award will definitely stimulate a wave of "Audition" to increase users! ”

"Brother, you are vulgar! Brother, I'm an artist now! ”

"Okay, congratulations to the artist!"

"Help me pass the news to my parents, this roaming is too expensive!"

"Hey, this is for you!"

"Got it, bring you a gift back!"

Wang Xun hung up the phone decisively, long-distance plus roaming, mobile really makes money!

Yang Xiaomi was chatting with a smile, and Wang Xun listened attentively that it was Liu Baozi who came to bless the call.

He pursed his lips, thinking that it seemed that it was time to arrange an album again, or should he take advantage of this wave of popularity to launch the Embroidered Spring Knife 2?

After waking up the next day, Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi took a plane back to the capital.

After returning to China, Wang Xun learned that he had become a big hit because of the Cannes Film Festival's short film award, and the 17-year-old short film director set a record for the youngest winner since the Cannes Film Festival was founded.

Major domestic media rushed to report.

Print media outlets, such as China Youth Daily, put a photo of Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi holding up their award certificates on the front page.

"Yesterday, 17-year-old well-known young writer Wang Xun won the Cannes Short Film Palme d'Or"

The Internet mainly reported that after the man god was sealed, he even mentioned Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi.

However, the photo of Wang Xun kneeling on one knee to take a photo of Yang Xiaomi was widely circulated.

Netizens said: "Wang Xun, don't go to make a short film, hurry up and release a new song!" ”

Wang Xun smiled at this suggestion and made up his mind!

First out of the book!

"The First Snow in 2002", which resounded through the streets and alleys, really didn't need Wang Xun to join the chaotic battle of the music scene in 04.

Three days later, "Embroidered Spring Knife 2: Shura Battlefield" was launched quickly!

A week later, it sold more than 1 million copies.

The publishing house made a lot of money.

The English teacher is in the classroom, and the horn is non-stop.

Wang Xun was drowsy underneath, and when he received a text message from the publishing house, he was in good spirits.

Liu Dongchang's secret agent Dong leaned over to look at the screen, and whispered to Wang Xun: "Brother Xun, Dapeng and I have entered 1,000 copies."

You sign it for me, and I'll sell it at a markup.

Let's add two to one profit. ”

Wang Xun was stunned: "How much?" ”

"Only 1,000 copies!"

"I didn't even hold a book signing!"

"It's worth it just because you didn't do it!"

"You have a good point, I can't refute it!"

"That's it!"

"Don't do it!"

"Then I'll put you and Sister Mi...

Wang Xun covered the dead fat man's mouth and gritted his silver teeth: "Just 1,000 copies!" ”

Liu Dong smiled and nodded.

Throughout the day, Wang Xun signed 1,000 books with tears in his eyes.

Why is he in tears?

It's not that he is tired of signing it, but that he loves this land deeply.

Yang Xiaomi, this gloating fox, you wait!

。。。

Time is on September 11th, tomorrow is very important, very special, adults!

After a summer vacation of make-up classes, Wang Xun and Yang Xiaomi, who are already in their third year of high school, are studying in the study.

Yang, little friend, honey still needs to put some pressure on it.

Wang Xun hugged Youzhong, who was lying lazily on Yang Xiaomi's lap, and put it on his lap: "Come, little perverted cat, let's learn together." ”

Then he stretched out his hand and pinched the two little ears of Youzhong, and stood up.

Education should start with the baby.

There is a kind: meow meow meow?

It may not be a real cat, but this is definitely a real dog.

"Dongdong Dong"

There was a powerful knock on the door.

Wang Xun turned his head and glanced at the door of the study, and muttered very dissatisfiedly: "Who, so unethical, delaying our family's learning." ”

Yang Xiaomi is learning happily, but she was suddenly disturbed, why can't she be admitted to Tsinghua University?

"Go ahead, get on your mother's lap and stay there." Wang Xun let go of Youzhong's two little ears, then grabbed the back of Xiaoxun You's neck, picked it up, and then put it back on Yang Xiaomi's legs, got up and walked towards the door.

Xiao Xun Xun stood on Yang Xiaomi's lap and glanced at Wang Xun's back with a faint look......

The kitten remembers you!

Then he turned his little head and looked at Yang Xiaomi.

"Meow meow~" Xiao Xun shouted at Yang Xiaomi twice, and her big round eyes were full of grievances.

Yang Xiaomi lowered her head and looked at the poor little baby, stretched out her hand and touched the little guy's little head, and comforted softly: "Good, mom will help you clean him up at night." ”

On this day, my intimate sister is also tired enough, after coaxing that baby, she has to coax this baby.

There was an instant squinting of his eyes, and he called happily twice: "Meow meow~"

Meow Xingyu: "Ma Ma is the best!" ”

Then he gently rubbed Yang Xiaomi's palm with his little head.

Soon, Wang Xun came to the door of the study and opened the door directly, wanting to see who dared to disturb their children's hard work.

In the next second, a huge Mickey Mouse came into his eyes......

Oops, Mom!

Startled him.

Why do the two ears on this Mickey Mouse's head bulge two big bags?

Is it a distortion of human nature or a moral degradation?

Don't look at indecent things, don't blame those who don't know!
