092 Low-key, low-key
"I now announce that the winner of the Palme d'Or at the 63rd Cannes International Film Festival is......" Tim Burton also waved mischievously to the audience.
It means that everyone knows.
"Single Zoo!" The audience shouted in unison.
The camera also gave the crew of "Single Zoo", He Fang stared at Jacob on the stage expectantly, with excitement on his face.
"Yes, let's congratulate the crew of "Single Zoo" and congratulate our young director He Fang."
"With its ingenious conception and design, and unique story structure, 'Single Zoo' has touched on the absurdities and dilemmas of human existence and existence itself."
"Utopia and dystopia, magically tell the two sides of a coin, two flowers of different colors on a piece of soil, a mirror image that is interdependent, upside down, and inseparable."
"It's a very subtle masterpiece of nihilism, both in the East and in the West, which is clearly politically incorrect, but which is a dense metaphor and absurd grotesque that touches on the essence of existence."
"So, this is a well-deserved Palme d'Or winner, let's invite the crew of 'Single Zoo' to the stage to accept the award."
After Tim Burton's enthusiastic introduction, the audience all stood up and responded with thunderous applause to welcome "The Single Zoo" to the stage to accept the award.
He Fang, Wang Zhonglei, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing and Li Pingbin all took the stage, and it was obvious that everyone was more excited.
After Tim Burton took out the trophy and handed it to He Fang, He Fang pulled several creators to hold the trophy together and then held it high.
The audience was still applauding, and at this time, the domestic network exploded.
"Tsk, did you see what the chairman of the jury said? "Single Zoo" has touched on the absurdities and dilemmas of human existence and existence itself, and is a well-deserved Palme d'Or winner! Ah, I can't wait to see what this movie is about, which will make the chairman of the jury have such a high evaluation. ”
"The last time I won the award was in 1993, it was Chen Kaige's "Farewell to the Overlord", it has been 17 years, I didn't expect that there were still Chinese who could win this award, everyone thought that it would be the first and only time to win this award."
"At least I believe that He Fang will not be the second Chen Kaige, because He Fang's commercial films are also very good."
"Yes, and He Fang is still so young, and his future is still very bright."
……
He Fang walked up to the microphone with the trophy at the invitation of Tim Burton, and he let out a small breath, obviously still a little nervous.
"Thanks, at this moment, a thousand words are only turned into a word of thanks. I would like to thank the Organizing Committee of the Festival de Cannes and the Jury of the 63rd Festival de Cannes for awarding me this award. ”
He Fang said and turned to bow his head slightly to the judges.
"I would also like to thank my parents for being born into a film family, especially my mother who taught me acting from an early age. My father has always supported me by sending me to study film, and I won this award today thanks to their training. ”
"Of course, I also have to thank the producer, Mr. Huang Ke, and the producer, Mr. Wang Zhonglei, for their great support in this film."
"There are also great performances from Miss Fan Bingbing and all the actors led by Miss Li Bingbing."
"Of course, the most important thing to thank is all the members of the crew of "Single Zoo", this award is not awarded to me personally, but our collective honor, I am honored to work with you, and then won this award, thank you!"
Fortunately, He Fang is a student of acting, and he is still more comfortable with speaking on stage.
Finally, after everyone took a group photo on stage again, the awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival has ended, but the closing ceremony is not over.
Because there is also a closing film.
The award-winning crew of "Single Zoo" is in the nearby media room for a solo group photo and the briefest official interview.
It's nothing more than an expression of excitement and gratitude.
……
"Okay, dear netizens and friends, the Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony will be broadcast live here for you. Finally, congratulations once again to "The Single Zoo" for winning the highest Palme d'Or, which is another victory for Chinese films. We believe that Chinese films will get better and better, and we invite everyone to work together to maintain the environment for Chinese films. Until next time, everyone. ”
Although the slag wave has ended the live broadcast, the following comments are still being swiped rapidly.
And the headlines of major websites also immediately issued the first press release, marked in red, and flashed colorful flowers.
Even the news of the QQ pop-up window pops up related reports and pictures, but for some people who play the game, they don't have the heart to watch this.
……
He Fang watched the movie, and then went to the Cannes closing ceremony reception, and He Fang was even more surrounded by water.
Although it is not that no one asks under the window for ten years, once it became famous all over the world, it can be regarded as a piece of fame.
After all, not everyone can win this award, for example, in Asia, everyone who can win this award can be counted, so as long as anyone who knows a little bit about movies knows which country's film master is who is who.
He is now in this column, and the benefits it will bring to him will be immeasurable.
Others say that Chen Kaige eats his whole life with "Farewell My Concubine", although this is a bit excessive, but it is somewhat reasonable.
As long as he doesn't make too much of a monster in the second half of his life, he can basically eat it for a lifetime.
I met a lot of people at the reception, but they were all nodding friends, and the real skin friends had to be the people around them.
For example, at the hotel party, everyone ordered and stopped, and then returned to the villa to drink again.
Although she didn't win the award, she bet right, I have to say that Mu Xiaoguang's vision is really accurate, he persuaded her to go out independently, persuaded her to bet on literary films, and even helped her analyze the benefits of binding.
What award did Zhang Ziyi win? What international chapter did she mix up differently? It's not because she won the award for the movie she participated in.
So in the same way, although she Fan Bingbing did not win an international award, the film she participated in won the Palme d'Or in Cannes, this is capital.
……
However, just when the waist was broken, the dawn had broken in the far east.
The news that "Single Zoo" won the Cannes Palme d'Or made the front page headlines of major newspapers on the new day, and even after the Chinese stock market opened on May 24, Huayi's stock directly rose to the limit, and Wang Zhongjun smiled.
And those seniors in the literary circle who got up early were silent when they saw the news, what else can they say at this time? Whether you are happy or not, you must congratulate and be happy, otherwise it will be a chicken belly.
Wang Xiaoshuai, who had just come back and had not yet experienced the jet lag, was silent when he heard the news, and then he was very emotional.
When the reporter called to interview him, he said: "When I watched this film in Cannes, I decided that it would definitely win the award, and those who have not seen it do not know the shock of this movie, and only after watching it will they understand the greatness of this movie." Therefore, it did not surprise me that "The Single Zoo" won the Palme d'Or. On the contrary, it has made me more motivated, and I believe that sooner or later I will be able to make such a good movie. ”
And in the crew of "The Grandmaster", Zhang Ziyi sat in front of the makeup mirror and kept silent, missing a Palme d'Or movie can calm her?
Impossible.
It's just that she is thinking, should she change her agent? Can't choose films, can't deal with emergencies, what else can she help herself?
……
'Ringing Ringing ......' He Fang felt that he had only fallen asleep for a short time when the phone rang and woke him up.
In a daze, he took out the phone and glanced at it, it was his father calling, and he shook his head.
"Hey, Dad."
"Why, dad wants to congratulate you, the movie won the award. Wait a minute, your mom told you......"
"Fang Yanzi, you won the grand prize, mom is happy, when will you come back? Mom makes you something to eat. Be humble on the outside, you know? We can't be proud of winning the award. You still have a long way to go, and now you're only 27 years old...... By the way, you've got to find a girlfriend, you're 27......"
"Oh, I'm a cousin, what do you say to your son about finding a girlfriend at this time."
"Why can't you say it? 27 can't be found? You're busy outside every day, and your son is also busy outside, so let him find a girlfriend, get married early, and have a child, and I'll have something to do......"
"Fang Yanzi, you listen to your mother about this...... Fang Yanzi, are you listening? ”
"Huh? Oh, listening, listening...... "He Fang is sober," will find, will find, soon. ”
"Then you have to listen to your mother, don't look for foreign people, don't look for any black or white people, if you want to find us, you can find our Chinese, the same culture, the same diet......"
He Fang held the phone and listened to his mother's rambling for half an hour, and his head was big.
"Alright, alright, almost, I'll say a few words to my son." He Fang's father couldn't help but snatch the phone.
"Where, when are you coming back? Yesterday, Secretary Gu said that when you come back, we will hold a huge seminar......"
"Ah, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't hold any seminars, don't do anything, and don't hold any celebration banquets, I won't be able to come back for the time being. I'm about to go to the United States, where there's a movie that's about to start shooting, and I don't have time to come back. ”
He Fangtou is big, and he is most afraid of this kind of formalism, this is a terrible circle, once it is encircled, it will not be able to pull it out.
"Dad, low-key, low-key, you tell Secretary Gu, we don't need to look like nouveau riche. In the future, we will be accustomed to such things, and we Hunan filmmakers are not surprised when they are happy, and they are not afraid of difficulties, they are people who do things in a down-to-earth manner. ”
"You kid...... Okay, I went back and told the group leaders that it's good to keep a low profile, but it's not necessarily good to be too low-key. He Ben said.
"No, when you have achieved a small achievement, you need to shout loudly, this is to take advantage of the situation. But after achieving the greatest success, it is necessary to keep a low profile, which is humility. ”
Who objected.
"Hey, you kid, are you going to teach your dad me?"
……
hung up He Ben's phone, and then he couldn't sleep.
All kinds of calls in China came to congratulate, not only Secretary Gu, Mr. Huang, but also the actors and staff who had cooperated before, as well as Han Sanping of China Film, Wang Zhongjun of Huayi, and of course, the host and leaders of Mango Channel, and the leaders of Zhejiang Channel......
Even the morning news and noon news on CCTV's news channel broadcast the news that "The Single Zoo" won the Cannes Palme d'Or.
"Director He, are you really not going back?" Wang Zhonglei asked again when he was separated from He Fang.
"I really don't go back, there's nothing to go back to, I go back to all kinds of celebrations and seminars, endless, boring. Besides, there's still a movie to be made in Hollywood. He Fang explained again.
"Well, then I wish you all the best in shooting. In addition, I will strive to sell the copyright of "Single Zoo" before I go back tomorrow, don't worry, I will discuss it with Mr. Huang of Huying. ”
"Okay, then it's troublesome for Mr. Wang."
"Teacher Li, goodbye, go back to China and get back to China again."
……
After saying goodbye to everyone, He Fang and Fan Bingbing got in the car to the airport together, and then passed through Nice, transferred to Paris and finally flew to Los Angeles.
