Chapter 335: Stranger
Cannes.
The awards are still ongoing.
This is followed by the Best Picture award in the Attention section.
Zheng Shaoshuai looked at Zhang Sheng in front of him.
His expression seemed to be even more indifferent.
He felt that Zhang Sheng was like a natural "liar" and "actor", which made him more and more disgusted.
It seems that this is a person who won awards by "selling miserably" and "shady".
Just before Zhang Sheng came to power, Zheng Shaoshuai received a message.
In fact, before the review of the [Cannes International Film Festival], there was no movie "Seven Days to Kill", but later, Zhang Sheng used some means to pull several judges to the cinema.
After those judges came out, the movie "Seven Days to Kill" was shortlisted!
It can be seen that this year's Best Screenplay Award is Duoshui?
He originally wanted to use the disdain in his heart and some shady transactions to calm the mood swings in his heart a little.
But......
Again, he had to admit it.
When Zhang Sheng won the [Best Screenplay], especially the [Best Screenplay at the Cannes International Film Festival], his status in this circle will definitely rise.
The awards in the main competition unit, except for 02, a Chinese film won the highest award, the Palme d'Or, which seems to have overdrawn China's luck in Cannes, and no Chinese person has ever won it.
Although this time it won the [Best Screenplay Award], fourteen years later, there are Chinese people who won the main competition unit award again!
That kind of sensation......
This moment!
An emotion called jealousy constantly lingered in his heart, and it could not be left behind.
After a long time, he silently looked at the stage.
The award for Best Picture in the Un Certain Regard section was given to a Japanese film......
The Japanese director named Ryuichi Yamada nodded and walked up to the stage, kissed the trophy fiercely, and then while excited, he wiped his tears and said that he won this award, how difficult it was to enter Cannes, but obviously, maybe it was Zhang Sheng's appearance that made everyone's emotional threshold reach a very high point, or his acting skills were a little worse, and his ability to control the scene was average......
It didn't have the desired effect, but the applause was still enthusiastic.
The jealousy in Zheng Shaoshuai's heart finally disappeared, and then it turned into a kind of longing.
He's staring at the screen!
He saw another award in the main competition, the Grand Jury Prize!
"Mountain City" is impressive!
That was another of his most promising awards for "Mountain City".
Whether he can officially go international and become the most prestigious one among the six generations of directors depends on this award.
Zheng Shaoshuai saw a person walk out from behind the stage......
When he saw this man, his pupils shrank.
This man is Leon, the president of Cannes this year!
When he walked to the stage, Zheng Shaoshuai's fingers trembled slightly.
How did the chairman come out?
He......
Is it a guest of honor for the Grand Jury Prize?
Wait, it doesn't seem to be him in the previous list......
Is there something to be announced?
He stared at the stage closely!
Leon didn't announce anything, but announced the next award with a smile.
Actually, the Jury Prize has been awarded one before!
It's just that the jury award was a kind of attention unit award before, and this time it was the jury award for the main competition unit, although it is still not a heavyweight award, but after all, it is in the main competition unit, and the attention is still amazing.
Zheng Shaoshuai stared tightly!
And then......
His pupils shrank!
Zheng Shaoshuai saw a grimace again!
Followed by......
He saw that "Seven Days to Kill" actually won another award!
He stared at the big screen in disbelief, thinking that he had seen it wrong, or that he was crazy!
How can it be!
This!
"Congratulations to "Seven Days of Killing"!"
“……”
On the big screen.
The grimace was hideous, mysterious, weird, and permeating.
On the stage under the big screen, Leon took out a small card and smiled on his face.
This moment......
The scene was in an uproar again!
Countless filmmakers stared incredulously at the oozing, long-haired grimace on the screen, and then, in Leon's direction!
They never dreamed that "Seven Days Killing" would win another award!
What the hell is this horror movie for?
Shortlisted for Cannes, it has already set a new record in the history of horror films, winning two awards in a row!
What is this for?
After the uproar!
Some filmmakers in the back row suddenly let out bursts of cheers, shouting the name of the movie "Seven Days to Kill"!
It's like a win!
The light shone on the face of director Bi Feiyu.
Bi Feiyu was shocked, stunned, and incredulous, he didn't even stand up.
I feel like I'm in a dream.
In just a few minutes, his emotions were constantly changing, like a roller coaster.
Shocked, incredulous, dazed, continued shocked, continued unbelievable......
on stage.
"Congratulations to "Seven Days of Killing"!"
When Leon said the words "Seven Days of Killing" again, he stood up uncontrollably, like a piece of wood.
"Mr. Zhang, I, I, I ......"
Bi Feiyu stammered when he spoke, and repeatedly confirmed that the award was "Seven Days of Killing".
"Come on stage!"
"But, I ......"
"Go on stage, accept the award, and say whatever you want...... Don't be afraid of anything! ”
"Huh?"
"Go ahead!"
"Mr. Zhang, you, you come to the stage to receive the award, I ......"
"You come up to the stage to receive the award!"
“……”
Bi Feiyu shuddered for a moment, then nodded suddenly, and ran forward excitedly......
It seemed that the relationship was too tense, he went in the wrong direction, walked to the last row, and then ran to the crew of "Mountain City".
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Director Zheng, I ran in the wrong place, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Zheng Shaoshuai's face instantly darkened, and the whole person was as cold as a cold stone, and finally calmed down, but showed a slightly distorted smile: "Director Bi, congratulations!" ”
And then......
He looked at Bi Feiyu's back as he ran onto the stage excitedly, and applauded with everyone, but after the applause, his nails almost sank into the flesh, and he kept trembling!
…………………………
Ke Zhanyi sat on the outskirts of Cannes.
He didn't have an internal invitation, so he had to sit in the audience.
After he saw that Zhang Sheng won the Best Screenplay Award at the [Cannes International Film Festival], he felt that something had stabbed him in the depths of his heart.
The pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
He gritted his teeth, teeth rattling.
There was no hatred, no jealousy, just wanted to slap myself hard.
If he had been determined to go on at the beginning, then this award should be his, he would stand on the stage of the limelight, and then return to China like a hero.
He saw Bi Feiyu also on stage again!
Bi Feiyu appeared on the stage of the three major European film festivals, the [Cannes International Film Festival], and spoke excitedly.
He's been to Berlin!
Then, back to Cannes.
The weight of the award is getting higher and higher!
The thorn in his heart seemed to be piercing deeper, and vaguely, he understood that he had missed one of the few opportunities to reach the top in his life!
Envy......
Greater envy!
He saw Bi Feiyu walk down from the stage the whole time, and then listened to the thunderous applause.
Countless shots and bright lights told Ke Zhanyi that Zhang Sheng and Bi Feiyu were the biggest winners of the entire [Cannes International Film Festival] tonight!
And he!
is a little-known "little Chinese director", and even on his resume, except for the two youth-themed movies that are quite passable, the rest are bad movies.
The awards are still ongoing, followed by the Best Director Award, the Best Actress Award, and the Best Actor Award......
These have nothing to do with Chinese movies.
The heavyweight [Palme d'Or], the movie "Mountain City" appeared on the screen for a short time, and was finally awarded to a Thai "Summoning the Uncle of the Past Life".
Ke Zhanyi sat the whole time, feeling the beautiful hustle and bustle, but the whole person showed a sense of loneliness that was out of place.
The award ceremony is over.
Everyone is leaving......
At the door, countless reporters rushed over like bees.
He saw that Zhang Sheng and Bi Feiyu were surrounded by reporters, and many reporters from Huaxia were crazy, constantly asking Zhang Sheng how he felt at this moment.
Ke Zhanyi looked at Zhang Sheng.
Originally, he was supposed to leave, but an inexplicable emotion controlled him and made him eager to talk to Zhang Sheng again.
He and Zhang Sheng did not tear their faces after all, and [Starlight Future] and Zhang Sheng's [NC Entertainment] did not tear their faces......
There are still opportunities for them to cooperate.
He finally arrived at the hotel.
He knew what kind of hotel Zhang Sheng was staying in.
He waited until the early hours of the morning before he saw Zhang Sheng coming over......
A smile instantly appeared on his face, and then he walked towards Zhang Sheng.
"Mr. Zhang, Director Bi, congratulations!"
"Ah, Director Ke, why are you here?"
"I'll come and see our Seven Days of Killing."
"Haha......"
Zhang Sheng's expression was the same as before, very enthusiastic, and in his eyes, he also had a sense of closeness to Ke Zhanyi, and he did not look down on people because of the award.
Ke Zhanyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that everyone had not changed much from before.
Just as he was about to have a good chat with Zhang Sheng, he heard Zhang Sheng's phone.
"I'm sorry, Director Ke, I'll answer the phone."
"Good!"
When Zhang Sheng picked up his mobile phone to answer the phone, Ke Zhanyi chatted with Bi Feiyu again.
When Bi Feiyu saw Ke Zhanyi, he was also smiling, but he was a little smiling: "Director Ke." ”
"Director Bi, congratulations, this time, you really have a long face for our Chinese movies!"
“……”
Ke Zhanyi originally had a lot to talk about with Bi Feiyu, but after seeing Bi Feiyu's expression, he found that his words became a little strange without knowing when they started.
Bi Feiyu is still smiling, as if he is looking at a flattering person.
And then......
He finally fell silent and sat awkwardly awkwardly to the side.
Time passed little by little, and he saw some foreign directors suddenly coming to the hotel.
After Zhang Sheng, who finished the call, saw these foreign directors, he walked over with a smile on his face.
When he came to Ke Zhanyi's side, Zhang Sheng paused: "Director Ke, I'm sorry, I originally wanted to catch up with you well, but this year's [Southern California International Film Awards] invited some directors from overseas...... Why don't you come with me to my room and let's talk about the Southern California International Film Awards? ”
Ke Zhanyi's throat trembled.
After seeing Zhang Sheng's still sincere expression, he wanted to nod his head and agree.
He felt that Zhang Sheng was sincere.
However......
"Mr. Zhang, Director Ke is very busy, and besides, we have signed agreements with these directors, so it is not appropriate to rush over with Director Ke ......"
Bi Feiyu subconsciously walked over, and then looked at Ke Zhanyi.
"Well, that's a bit of a pity, well, Director Ke, let's make an appointment to get together again after returning to China, and see if there are any projects that can be cooperated......"
"Good! Mr. Zhang, you are busy first......"
"Well, then I'll be out of company first."
Zhang Sheng continued to shake his hand very sincerely.
Then, I walked towards the foreign directors.
Ke Zhanyi watched Zhang Sheng walk upstairs with those directors.
And then......
Not a taste for a while.
(Today is still two more, tomorrow there should be a more!) )
