At six o'clock in the afternoon, the sun fell one by one, resting gently on red high heels.

Li Lianhua couldn't help but snort, then hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, and then looked at the others.

Hearing the sound, she smiled and nodded at her.

Li Shengyao and Chen Hao spoke in a low voice and did not look at her.

There were no reporters at the scene, Li Lianhua breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and sat down, closing her eyes and recuperating.

What Chief Jia hinted at yesterday made her very excited, and she didn't get a good night's rest.

She discussed with her sister Li Hao and thought that she had great hopes of winning the award.

After all, Li Shengyao has always encouraged her so much, and "Three Billboards" and "Dalian by the Sea" are all such a situation, and some people have won the Best Actor Award.

In "La La Land", her performance is more difficult than that of Yue Yueming, and her scenes are more brilliant.

If she can really win the Best Actor Award, it must be her.

With that in mind, she was in a state of excitement last night.

Li was also very excited, and she called her parents and asked them to wait for the news of the Cannes Film Festival.

Since I didn't sleep well last night, I naturally have to make up for it today.

At this time, Li Lianhua felt very sleepy, and although she slept for a few hours in the morning, she still couldn't help but laugh.

The Cannes sun was falling on me, and I wanted to find a place to lie down.

Now the crew of "La La Land" is waiting to leave, there is no chewing gum, no betel nut, no cigarettes, there is no way to stimulate the body, Li Lianhua can only sit down and close her eyes to recuperate, trying to make her state look better.

Li Shengyao and Chen Hao stuck together, and the two of them showed themselves like a little couple.

Li Lianhua listened to Chen Hao and Li Shengyao being coquettish, and sometimes couldn't help but be envious.

Even if a single dog participates in the Cannes Film Festival, he will be critically attacked.

Fortunately, she still has a career, and she is still a domestic first-line actress.

Thinking about things in my heart, I finally waited for the crew of "La La Land" to play.

Li Lianhua and Pan Yueming got into a car together, and Li Shengyao and Chen Hao got into another car.

Both cars are Ferraris and very cool.

Li Lianhua got into the car, and then kept inhaling and exhaling.

"Sister Lotus, what are you doing?"

"Sleepy, I need to adjust my state."

When he heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

"I had no dreams last night and slept really well."

Li Lianhua nodded, "I didn't sleep well, almost no sleep." ”

Wan Yueming subconsciously followed, "You have the best hope of winning the award, I am different." ”

Li Lianhua was happy in her heart, but her face was still very calm, and she waved her hand, "I don't know if it's okay yet, don't say that." ”

She then thought that Li Shengyao had always had good luck winning awards, "Maybe the director won the award, but I didn't." ”

Hearing this, Yue Ming was stunned for a moment, and paused for a moment, "There is a possibility." ”

He then looked back, "The director is used to seeing big scenes, he is not nervous, even if he participates in the Cannes Film Festival, his mentality is still very good." ”

Hearing this, Li Lianhua nodded with a wry smile.

She then thought that if Lee Shengyao won the award instead of her in "La La Land", would she be happy too early.

"I can't say that, Director Li can win the award, which means that this movie is a classic and has improved me a lot."

But who can refuse the actor award at the Cannes Film Festival?

For a time, Li Lianhua suffered from gains and losses, and was in expectation and self-comfort.

This made her forget about her sleepiness and stopped fighting.

All the way to the red carpet, Li Lianhua and Yue Ming walked out of the car together, followed by Li Shengyao and Chen Hao.

The four of them walked down the red carpet.

Many of the participating directors and actors left Cannes, and the stars were much dimmer compared to the opening ceremony.

However, there are no fewer reporters, and there are still many photographers on both sides of the red carpet, all of which are long and short cameras at a glance.

The flash flashes constantly.

Li Shengyao is very famous in Cannes, and many reporters and photographers call Li Shengyao's name in broken Chinese.

"Lee! Plum! Plum! ”

It's a treat that no one else has.

Li Lianhua noticed that the few Hollywood stars who left before were not as famous as Li Shengyao.

A man who set a record at the Cannes Film Festival.

They paused for a moment, then continued on to the interview area.

is still dominated by Li Shengyao, and it is estimated that the hostess of the interview did not know Li Lianhua and Yueming, so she asked Li Shengyao a few questions.

Li Lianhua has been mixed in Hollywood in recent years, and her English listening has improved significantly.

She probably understood the dialogue between Li Shengyao and the hostess, which is a prospect and expectation for "La La Land".

Li Shengyao praised the performances of Li Lianhua and Pan Yueming, saying that the performance of the two of them was very exciting, and he hoped that the two of them could win the award.

This made Li Lianhua very happy, and felt that Li Shengyao deserved to be his family, and he still did not forget to support her at this time.

Soon after, they entered the Caesar's Theater and sat down in their place.

The position of the four people in "La La Land" is in the third row, which can be regarded as an excellent piece.

Li Lianhua then saw several familiar directors and actors, all of whom had met at the Cannes Film Festival during this time, most of whom were white and very few Asian.

This year, both peninsula and island countries have films participating in the competition, but the reputation is average, and it is definitely not shortlisted for the last 20 films.

These film crews are like Lao Mouzi, Jiang Wen, and left Cannes early.

Li Lianhua sighed slightly, and at the same time gave birth to a sense of mission in her heart.

It seemed that at this moment, the burden on her shoulders was a little heavier.

The honor of Asian cinema is supported by her.

Li Lianhua soon noticed that there was a large screen behind the stage, which linked to the current photographers, and the pictures of the directors and actors kept appearing.

The camera quickly locked on to Lee Shengyao.

There were enthusiastic cheers at the scene, which were very loud.

Li Lianhua's face was slightly hot.

In fact, no one cares what she thinks, even if Asian movies need someone to carry it, and that person is Lee Shengyao, not her.

In this mentality of gaining and losing, more and more people poured into the Grand Theater, and it was soon full.

The scene was quieter.

Li Lianhua knew that the award ceremony was about to start.

Soon after, a blonde hostess took the stage and spoke something impassioned in French.

Li Lianhua couldn't understand French, so she could only follow the crowd, and when others applauded, she applauded.

Soon after, a familiar title sounded, the hostess said "Li", and the big screen immediately flashed Li Shengyao's appearance.

Despite being stared at by many people, Lee Shengyao looked calm.

Immediately afterwards, warm applause rang out, and Li Lianhua knew that she must be praising Li Shengyao.

This time she clapped vigorously and was convinced.

She has been in Hollywood for a few years, and she knows how difficult it is for Chinese filmmakers to go out, and she really feels proud at this moment.

The hostess talked a lot and finally invited Jacob and Jane. Campion came to power.

Jacob was the first to speak, followed by Campion.

Campion spoke English, and Li Lianhua could understand more.

The chief seal of the jury mainly expressed her honor and gratitude, saying that it was her honor to be the chief seal of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, and then said that she was very happy to see a very good film.

Campion didn't specifically point out that the film was excellent, and this time there was no mention of Lee Shengyao and La La Land.

Li Lianhua was slightly disappointed, and then realized that Campion didn't mention other movies, and her mind calmed down a lot.

After these two bigwigs finished speaking, it was finally time for the real award ceremony.

The first award was a unit classification award, which was an appetizer, and in the applause of the audience, one by one the awards were awarded.

Finally, the awards were handed out, and it was the turn of the main competition unit to win the awards.

The organizers invited two French singers to sing, and each of them sang a song, and then left in a hurry.

Li Lianhua felt that these two people sang very ugly, and it was long overdue to go down.

After a few moments, the applause fell and the awards party continued, this time starting with the presentation of some of the main competition unit awards.

The Best Technology Award did not go to Lu Guanting and Tang Shuchen, and the Best Screenplay Award and Best Editing Award did not go to "La La Land".

In general, even the small prize was not fished.

There are also Best Actor and Actress, Best Director, Grand Jury Prize, and the Palme d'Or.

The first award was the Best Actress Award.

With warm applause, a familiar figure slowly walked onto the stage.

The organizers of the Cannes Film Festival actually called Zhang Manyu here.

As Juliet. In addition to Binoche, another person who won the best actress at the three major European film festivals.

Zhang Manyu appeared and received warm applause from the scene.

And Li Lianhua held her breath, and her whole person couldn't help but tremble.

It's not going to be a legacy, is it?

Although she knew that she was far away from Zhang Manyu and could not inherit the honor of Asia's No. 1 actress at all, she was still very excited.

"Don't be nervous."

Li Shengyao stretched out his hand and patted Li Lianhua's arm, and she came back to her senses when she heard a stirring spirit.

I saw Zhang Manyu open the envelope, and then said: "The performer who won the best actress at this year's Cannes Film Festival - Li Lianhua of "La La Land", congratulations."

It's really yourself.

Li Lianhua was stunned for a moment, and then stomped her feet to stand up.

After hugging Li Shengyao and Yue Ming, she hurriedly went on stage.

"Congratulations, you're doing a great job."

Zhang Manyu gave words of encouragement.

Li Lianhua nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, thank you." ”

When she received the trophy, she still couldn't believe that she could still win such a heavyweight award in the later stages of her acting career.

She then began to give testimonials, mainly thanking her family and Lee Shengyao.

She was so nervous that she forgot to speak English, and the whole time it was Chinese.

In fact, she and Li Hao had discussed how to make a speech last night, but at this moment, she forgot all the words from last night, and subconsciously said the most true words in her heart.

After finishing speaking, she quickly returned to her seat and saw Chen Hao, Li Shengyao, and Wan Yueming, and then further realized that she had really won the grand prize.

She couldn't help but be excited, and reached out to hug Li Shengyao again, and then she came back to her senses when she caught a glimpse of Chen Hao clapping beside her, and then said thank you again and again, and returned to her seat.

Holding the trophy for Best Actress, she has a lot of words in her heart and a lot of emotions she wants to confide.

She couldn't help but say to Li Shengyao: "Director, you can definitely win the award."

"Hopefully."

Li Shengyao's tone was calm, and Li Lianhua couldn't answer for a while, so she could only nod stupidly.

The awards ceremony continued, followed by Best Actor, which was awarded to British actor Timothy Brown. Spo obtained, this big guy is not star-studded, and he is a real powerful actor.

Next up is the Best Director award.

The guest who came to the stage to present the award turned out to be Quentin, in the warm cheers of everyone, Quentin wrinkled his nose slightly, and then said slowly: "Next is the Best Director Award, the winner ......"

He closed the envelope and continued, "Friend, you've been away from Hollywood for years, and I've missed you a little."

To the applause of the crowd, Quentin then shouted, "La La Land" Lee!"

When the words fell, the applause at the scene became more enthusiastic.

When Li Lianhua heard this, she looked at Li Shengyao with great admiration.

I have to say that this award luck is really strong.

He won the Best Director Award in Venice, then the Best Director Award in Berlin, and now the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

And to be more detailed, these three awards were won in one year.

Such an achievement can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

It's hard to have it in the future.

After all, it is really terrifying to make three movies in a row, and three films to participate in the three major European film festivals in a row, and to win awards in a row.

Although the Best Director Award is not as good as the Palme d'Or, the Golden Lion Award, and the Golden Bear Award, it is definitely a rare honor.

Lee Shengyao has once again set a new record in the film industry after two consecutive Palme d'Or.

No wonder Quentin said that Lee Shengyao hasn't been to Hollywood for a long time, and such an excellent director has never gone to film in a beautiful country, which is a loss for Hollywood.

In the warm applause, Li Shengyao first hugged Li Lianhua with Yue Ming, and then kissed Chen Hao, and then walked to the stage with a smile.

He looked calm, and so did his speech.

It's a bit like Faye Wong winning the Golden Melody Award, and Zhang Manyu winning the actress, the wind is light and calm, and she doesn't care.

The honor that others have in their hearts, Li Dadao has long been commonplace.

Li Lianhua was envious, how much she wanted to have such a realm.

When Li Shengyao stepped down, the applause at the scene still rang out.

Winning the Best Director Award three times in one year is really amazing.

And his three movies have won three actors and won the Best Actor Award.

With such an award rate, Li Shengyao is the father of the three major European film festivals.

After a long time, the applause fell, and then the Grand Jury Prize, as well as the Palme d'Or, were awarded.

The Grand Jury Prize went to the Italian female director Alice. Lowach's "Miracle" and the Palme d'Or went to Turkey's Nuri. "Hibernation" by Bigceylon.

Both films are literary films.

Finally, Jacob took the stage to conclude and said slowly: "I want to thank all of you, Lowach, Ceylon, Lee, you are all very good, young filmmakers, you have come to make Cannes more brilliant and more beautiful."

I'm looking forward to all of you and looking forward to your new film next year.

Especially Lee, you have set a great record again, and I am waiting to see you put on a more wonderful performance. ”

The audience applauded thunderously.

The actors all looked at Lee Shengyao and wanted to participate in his new movie.

Li Lianhua clenched her fists, and although she knew that it was unlikely, she still called in her heart, "Choose me." ”
