It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1056 Palme d'Or! "Dying to Survive"! Chen Fei!

Accompanied by extremely warm applause, Han Jianu, winner of this year's Cannes International Film Festival's Best Screenplay Award, walked confidently onto the podium.

Below the stage, everyone from the “Dying to Survive” crew stood up excitedly and clapped loudly!
Especially Han Sanping, the old man's face was full of wrinkles from laughing, it was hard to describe how happy he was.

After the winner of another film received his award, Xiao Han walked forward, happily took the black box containing the trophy, and stood it up facing the audience.

The audience applauded again!
"First of all, I would like to thank all the members of the jury for recognizing me..."

Han Jianuo's English is very standard and fluent. On the big screen behind her is a close-up of her receiving the award. She is wearing a white suit and a confident smile.

"Secondly, I want to thank Director Chen Fei for filming the story I wrote, because without his help, I would not be standing here today... If I am a thousand-mile horse, then he is my Bole!"

Many people at the scene looked at Chen Fei in the audience and applauded enthusiastically.

The whole place was filled with envious eyes, especially those screenwriters who made a living from the "screenwriting" industry, their eyes were extremely enthusiastic.

"Finally, I would like to thank all the producers of this film, all the actors and staff of the crew, and thank you for your support..."

As she was talking, Han Jianu suddenly changed the subject: "I vaguely remember that before I came here, my father once asked me: Jianu, what would happen if you were lucky enough to win the award?"

All the audience looked towards the stage curiously.

All the crew members of "Dying to Survive" turned their eyes to Han Sanping with smiles on their faces.

"This damn girl! What is she going to do again?" Han Sanping was already a little panicked.

"I didn't give him an answer then, but now I have the answer." Han Jianu paused and laughed, "Old man! I told you to look down on me, but now I am the winner of the Palme d'Or for Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival. I am much better than you!

As the saying goes, the waves behind push the waves ahead. Hey, I've pushed you down on the beach. Admit defeat, Daddy!

There was thunderous applause and laughter at the scene.

Han Sanping widened her eyes and glared fiercely at the troublesome girl on the stage, but the relief in her eyes was hard to conceal.

This Best Screenplay Award alone proves that his years of raising this daughter were not in vain.

Liu Yifei stood up to greet Han Jianu who was walking off the stage and gave her a big thumbs up.

After sitting down, Xiao Han handed the trophy to everyone around him with a proud look on his face. A group of people rushed to take it and look at it, feeling extremely envious.

In the end, the trophy naturally fell into Han Sanping's hands.

"Dad, how is it? I didn't let you down, did I?" Han Jianu said arrogantly.

"Humph! I'll settle the score with you when we get back!"

Han Sanping glared at her, then turned around and showed off to Ren Zhonglun and Wang Yong: "How is it? My daughter brought it back. Isn't this trophy beautiful? Have you two touched it? Touch it now, too?"

Ren Zhonglun: “…”

Wang Yong: “…”

"Hey! Look at that girl!"

Brother Chen Kai, who was sitting not far away, looked at the Best Screenwriter trophy in Han Sanping's hand and couldn't hide his envy.

Hearing this, Chen Feiyu lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Chen Hong said quickly: "Our Feiyu is not bad either. Maybe he can bring you a Cannes Best Actor trophy in the future."

Brother Chen Kai turned his head to look at his son and shook his head slowly. Everything was said without words.

Anyway, up to now, he has not seen any acting skills or talent in his son that can compete with the veteran actors.

In this situation, do you still dare to dream of winning the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival?
It’s just wishful thinking!

After the Best Screenplay Award was presented, the Best Actress and Best Actor awards were presented next.

Qin Hao and Tan Zhuo's eyes were filled with anticipation.

But at this moment, Fade Chen fell into deep thought.

The Cannes awards ceremony follows an elitist awards model, much like private ownership, where a few judges can decide all the awards.

This award-giving model really tests the personal taste of the judges, and it is also the reason why some awards can be successfully publicized.

Previous Cannes Best Actor and Best Actress winners have laid many double-yolked eggs, or even multi-yolked eggs, but once a film wins an award it is usually difficult for it to win another award... just like dividing a cake, it is impartial.

"Dying to Survive" has already won the Best Screenplay Award, so the possibility of winning another award is much lower.

As expected, as the Best Actor and Best Actress awards were presented, the eyes of Qin Hao and Tan Zhuo gradually dimmed, unable to hide their disappointment.

Chen Fei leaned over to comfort him, "It's okay. If nothing goes wrong with this movie, it should participate in many award ceremonies in mainland China and Asia. You two will both win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards."

"Okay, I understand, Director Chen."

"Thank you Director Chen for your encouragement."

They both responded in unison, feeling much better.

"Best Director Award: Sofia Coppola, The Beguiled."

Applause broke out again in the venue. Liu Yifei clenched Chen Fei's hand and suddenly became nervous.

Han Jianu whispered, "There are still three prizes left. Maybe we still have a chance?!"

As they were talking, the award ceremony began again.

“Jury Prize: Andrei Zvyagintsev, Loveless.”

"Grand Jury Prize: Robin Kapilow, 120 BPM."

Two major awards were announced in succession, but neither was "Dying to Survive" nor was there a double yolk.

The next award to be presented is the Palme d'Or for Best Film, which is also the most awesome, important, and top award at this year's Cannes International Film Festival!
Although Chen Fei acted calm and composed, his heart was actually beating faster than usual.

If possible, he actually hopes to win the Palme d'Or and break the existing record for the most Palme d'Or awards.

Although he is confident that he can help "Dying to Survive" win the Best Foreign Language Film award at the upcoming Oscars, but in terms of weight, how can the Best Foreign Language Film compare with the Palme d'Or?

To put it bluntly, the Oscars have been shaped into a benchmark for the film industry and a feast for the film business because of American hegemony and the influence of Hollywood.

If you want to attend their feast, you must follow their rules.

Although Chen Fei was very unhappy about this, due to his personal influence, he was unable to change it for the time being.

Therefore, the Palme d'Or is his ultimate goal.

Backstage, Pedro Almodovar, chairman of the jury of this year's Cannes International Film Festival Organizing Committee, walked out. He is a Spanish director with white hair.

And his appearance also means that the highlight is coming.

For a moment, everyone on the scene perked up.

"The next award-winning film deeply reveals the survival dilemma of patients and the problems of the medical system in real society. Through the transformation of the male protagonist from an ordinary peddler to a 'drug god', it shows the difficult choice between morality and law for ordinary people.

Moreover, it not only presents the cruel reality that patients fall into despair due to high drug costs, but also inspires the audience to think about the fairness of medical insurance.

It is based on real events, with sincere emotions and thought-provoking, and is a masterpiece with social significance in the history of Chinese and even global films..."

Chen Fei became excited instantly, because what Pedro Almodovar was talking about was "Dying to Survive"!
Liu Yifei beside him slowly breathed a sigh of relief, tightly holding her boyfriend's hand, unable to hide the excitement and joy on her face.

“The film’s characters are three-dimensional, the narrative structure is compact, and the use of colors and lenses shows the changes in the plot and the inner growth of the characters. At the same time, it has triggered extensive social discussion and reflection, and proposed new thinking and perspectives on issues such as the pharmaceutical industry, the legal system, and society…”

On the big screen behind Pedro Almodovar, close-ups of some producers and directors were very clear, most of whom showed obvious disappointment.

"The winner of the Palme d'Or for Best Film at the 2017th Cannes International Film Festival in 70 is——"

The Lumiere Hall fell silent in an instant.

The next second, a loud voice suddenly sounded:
"Chinese film, Dying to Survive!"

“Pa pa pa!” The scene was instantly filled with thunderous applause. All the post-production staff of the Medicine God crew jumped up and hugged each other, and everyone shed tears of excitement.

There were quite a lot of Chinese people present, and almost all of them stood up and clapped loudly.

Brother Chen Kai also stood up with his wife and son.

While clapping, he looked at Chen Fei who was as steady as a rock on the other side, and there was only one sentence in his mind: "The waves behind push the waves ahead!"

Once the Palme d'Or is won, the record will be successfully broken.

At this point, Chen Fei has successfully become the first person in the history of the Cannes International Film Festival to win three Palme d'Or awards at the same time, and he is also a living record holder!
There is no need to elaborate on the value of this. You can tell it is extremely awesome just by listening to it!
Accompanied by warm applause, Fade Chen slowly stood up and walked towards the stage.

Every step forward is accompanied by envious, jealous, admiring and respectful gazes on both sides. This feeling is simply too good!
It is no exaggeration to say that from then on, all filmmakers in the global film industry would think of his name whenever they thought of the words "Cannes" and "Palme d'Or".

Isn’t this a form of cultural expansion?

Coming to the stage, Chen Fei stretched out his hands, took the heavy black flocked box, hugged Pedro Almodovar again, and said thank you.

Standing in front of the microphone, he opened the box.

As a special award for the 70th anniversary, this year's Cannes Palme d'Or trophy is very different from previous trophies.

Although the trophy is still based on the "palm leaf" of Cannes' city emblem, the entire trophy is made of "Fairmined" certified gold, containing 75% gold and 25% silver.

In the center of the trophy's palm branch, you can see the naturally curved vein texture. The cross-section of the branch's end is designed to be heart-shaped, with 19 palm leaves extending from both sides of the branch. Each gold leaf is individually carved from wax with exquisite craftsmanship.

What is particularly eye-catching is that the branches and edges of the palm leaves are inlaid with 167 brilliant-cut diamonds with a total weight of 0.694 carats. These diamonds are as sparkling as crystal dewdrops condensed in the early morning.

The gold surface is even frosted to further highlight the brightness and brilliance of the diamonds.

In addition, the Palme d'Or is also fixed on a complete emerald-cut crystal. The original stone weighs more than 3 kilograms before cutting. Its transparency and purity are both excellent, further enhancing the dignity and magnificence of the trophy.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the dream of all filmmakers around the world!
This can be concluded from the envious glances from the audience.

"Good evening everyone, I am Chinese director Chen Fei!"

Suddenly, as Fade Chen spoke, the scene fell silent.

At this moment, everyone was stunned because he didn't speak English? !
"Om-"

Suddenly, the sound of whispering was heard.

"Huh? He forgot to speak English." In the audience, Chen Feiyu widened his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought Chen Fei was going to make a fool of himself.

But the next second, Brother Chen Kai suddenly turned around and scolded: "Listen carefully to what he said! What's wrong with speaking Chinese? Do you have any objection?"

Chen Feiyu's face suddenly turned red, and he subconsciously retorted: "But most of the people here are foreigners. If he speaks Chinese, won't others not understand him?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

Brother Chen Kai glared at his stupid son, feeling deeply disappointed.

He even questioned himself for the first time.

Is my education really wrong?

~

At this moment, on the stage, Chen Fei was holding the Palme d'Or trophy, his back straight, his eyes staring at Liu Yifei in the audience.

As the person sitting next to him, Miss Liu immediately understood what he meant. She quickly stood up and walked to the staff member and had a few words with him.

Soon, a microphone appeared in Miss Liu's hands.

A simultaneous interpreter's voice rang out: "Good evening everyone, I am Chinese director Chen Fei!"

The auditorium suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Fade Chen on the stage seriously, with admiration already forming in their hearts.

How confident it takes to speak Chinese on a stage like this!
If anyone else did this, they would inevitably be laughed at.

But looking at the whole audience now, who has the right to laugh at Chen Fei?

Facing the three-time Palme d'Or winner, everyone has nothing but admiration!

In fact, Chen Fei himself didn't know why he blurted out a self-introduction in Chinese, but he just wanted to speak Chinese. Who has any objection?
Looking at the audiences of different skin colors under the stage, he continued in Chinese: "I am honored to have successfully won the Palme d'Or trophy again, and this is the third one since I started working in the directing industry..."

Offstage, Liu Yifei continued to translate.

“First of all, I would like to thank all the teachers on the jury. It is you who helped me break a new record for winning awards. Thank you for your recognition of me…

Secondly, I would also like to thank Qin Hao, Han Jianu, Tan Zhuo, Han Sanping, Ren Zhonglun, Wang Yong... It is because of your wonderful performance and support that this play was completed, and it also made me who I am today.

And then there are all the actors, producers, photographers, lighting, makeup, props, and stagehands of the "Dying to Survive" crew... It is because of you that this play was made possible, and this trophy belongs to each and every one of you!

Finally, I would also like to thank my girlfriend and my future wife Liu Yifei. It is because of your silent support, encouragement and comfort behind me that I can move forward with peace of mind and step onto the podium step by step.

Thank you all! I love you all! "

As Liu Yifei finished her translation, applause broke out again, lasting and warm, which was very moving!
Accompanied by the warm applause, Fade Chen slowly walked off the stage.

Looking around, all the reporters' cameras at the scene were following his figure.

On the big screen, he attracted the attention of everyone present with his unique temperament and well-tailored suit.

He is only 33 years old this year, but he has already directed dozens of films and successfully won the Palme d'Or, a "world-class" film award at the Cannes International Film Festival, for the third time.

It is no exaggeration to say that this honor will be difficult to break in the next few decades!

As for surpassing him?
This is nothing less than a fairy tale!

……

After the award ceremony, Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Han Jianu and other members of the "Dying to Survive" crew were surrounded by reporters for a long time before they could escape.

At the same time, news reports about this year's Cannes International Film Festival have been transmitted back to the country, causing a sensation!

"Reprinted from the Cannes International Film Festival Film Newspaper: The 70th Cannes International Film Festival awards ceremony came to a successful conclusion ten minutes ago. The Chinese film "Dying to Survive" successfully won the two major awards of 'Best Screenplay' and 'Best Film Palme d'!"

“Warm congratulations to Han Jianu, the screenwriter of “Dying to Survive”, for winning the Best Screenwriter Award!”

"Sina Entertainment and all the staff of the company would like to warmly congratulate Director Chen Fei for winning the Palme d'Or at the 70th Cannes International Film Festival and successfully breaking the record for the most Palme d'Or winners!"

"The Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes International Film Festival is a specially customized award. There is only one in the world. It is an extremely precious and solemn honor, and also the most precious award in the history of the Chinese-language film industry!"

"Warm congratulations from the China Film Channel..."

"People's Daily warmly congratulates..."

"Warm congratulations from the General Administration of Film..."

"China Film Group Corporation warmly congratulates..."

In the office, La Peikang's eyes were red!

He gritted his teeth and typed out that congratulations word by word, carrying with it a variety of unspeakable emotions such as envy, jealousy, and regret.

If he had known this, he would have asked for a share of the investment even if he had to stay at Han Sanping's house!

But now, such a great political achievement has slipped through his fingers!
At this moment, deep regret filled his heart, making it difficult for him to extricate himself!

At the same time, Feng Xiaogang, who was working with Liu Zhenyun on the script for "Cell Phone 2", suddenly became nervous.

"Fuck! This movie... isn't going to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday?"

At the same time, Zhang Yimou from the "Shadow" crew, Jiang Wen from the "Evil Does Not Suppress Justice" crew, Ning Hao who was revising "Crazy Alien", Zhou Xingchi from the "Mermaid 2" project team... all took out their phones at the same time and found Chen Fei's phone number.

A large number of congratulatory calls and text messages came to Cannes like a torrential rain!
