Chapter 385 Closing Ceremony

On the evening of the 21st local time, the "Chinese Movie Night" was held on the beach in Cannes.

This is organized by the movie channel, and everyone who can come will be honored to come.

As an official event of the Cannes Film Festival, "China Night" originated in 2008, when the Imperial Capital Olympics was about to be held. The film channel officially cooperated with the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee and successfully established it at the opening event of the Cannes Film Market. "China unit".

This is the first film market opening event in the 61-year history of the Cannes Film Festival that combines national characteristics and sets up a unit with a country's films.

Chinese filmmakers such as Jia Zhangke, Jiang Wu, Li Yuchun, Yang Lan, Zhang Yuqi, Fan Binbin, and Cheng Long made appearances one after another. About 1500 high-end producers, distributors, investors and media leaders in the film industry participated with great enthusiasm. activities.

Li Mu's crew naturally became the focus.

Not to mention that there are also big names such as Gong Li and Liu Dehua in the crew, but Li Mu himself has been chased by producers and distributors.

"Director Li is still so popular."

Jia Zhangke and others sat at the same table and couldn't help but joked as they watched Li Mu frequently deal with the foreign producers and distributors who came.

"Director Jia, aren't you the same? I heard that people are chasing foreign copyrights."

Johnnie To responded that Jia Zhangke's "Destined" was enthusiastically sought after by foreign copyright dealers after its premiere.

Jia Zhangke may not be doing well at the domestic box office, but he is a popular figure abroad. Copyright owners and distributors in various countries know this director from China.

"Hey, it can't compare, it can't compare."

Jia Zhangke was modest, but the smile on his face still proved his mood at the moment.

Li Mu finally got rid of these people and was free.

At this time, the gorgeous fireworks show officially began.

This is a program specially prepared by the movie channel.

"Yifei, Director Li, come and take a picture of you." Gong Li couldn't help but pick up his phone and shouted when he saw Liu Yifei cheering.

"Okay, Sister Gong Li, are you good at taking photos? Don't make me look ugly, just make him look ugly."

Liu Yifei pointed at Li Mu with a smile.

"Why do you have the nerve to question others about your photography skills?"

Li Mu mocked.

"You are the only one with good skills." Liu Yifei and Li Mu said to each other. Gong Li pressed the shutter button a few times at this time and was very satisfied with the photos taken.

“Sure enough, it’s best to take pictures when they’re natural.”

Gong Li looked at the photos he took and murmured to himself.

In the photo, Liu Yifei turned her head and looked at Li Mu. In fact, the two were quarreling at that time.

"Let's take a picture of our crew, too, and let someone take a picture of it for us." Li Mu suggested.

"I'll come!!!" Cheng Long took the initiative to invite him, walked over with a smile, and even brought a photographer's camera over.

"No, Brother Long, you already borrowed the photographer's camera. Why don't you hire the photographer? Or are you confident that your photos will be better than the photographer's?"

Li Mu joked with a smile.

"I'm here to film. The film won an award. I'm not allowed to write my signature in the future. Cheng Long filmed in Cannes on May 2013, 5."

Cheng Long responded with a smile while playing with the camera.

"It turns out you had this idea. If you had told me earlier, you should have asked me to come. Then others would ask why there is no male protagonist in the photo. Oh, it turns out he is signed below." Liu Dehua also followed suit and made a cold joke. .

"Brother Hua, your joke is not too cold. Look, no one is laughing."

Li Mu said lightly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

At this moment, Cheng Long clicked and filmed it for everyone.

After the gorgeous fireworks show, a video clip carefully produced by the movie channel was brilliantly presented on a giant screen by the beach in Cannes.

The short film showed the booming development trend of Chinese films to the guests through the rapid growth of Chinese film production volume, box office, number of screens and other data in recent years.

"Why have I seen so many movies of Director Li?"

Wang Zhi whispered, she is the only one here who is a little transparent, so she should be more careful when speaking.

"That's natural. Director Li's films almost ran through the golden period of domestic film development, so the video made by the movie channel naturally focused on introducing them."

As Liu Dehua said this, he was also feeling emotional, because in his short film at this time, a clip from "Manslaughter" was flashing.

"It's been ten years."

Not only Liu Dehua fell into memories, but so did Liu Yifei on the side. Holding Li Mu's arm, "High School Musical" and "Your Name" in the short film also flashed one by one.

The "Chinese Movie Night" lasted until about two o'clock in the morning, interspersed with various theatrical performances, and everyone left after enjoying themselves.

The next day, both Li Mu and Liu Yifei slept in.

However, Li Mu still got up a little earlier.

Because since "The Tuner" premiered in Cannes, many copyright dealers have approached him, and the most enthusiastic one is the Indian copyright dealer.

As time goes by, the red carpet for the closing ceremony of Cannes has arrived as scheduled.

This is the craziest day of the entire film festival and the day with the highest expectations.

Liu Yifei was wearing a long black dress that swayed in the wind. Her tall figure, slender waist, and red belt as an embellishment amazed Li Mu.

"A high-end dress?"

Li Mu was stunned. It was rare to see Liu Yifei wearing black clothes. I have to say that she was really stunning.

"Yes. I have prepared several styles, but I think this one is better. I rarely wear this color, so it seems to be pretty good."

Liu Yifei fiddled with it twice and was very satisfied.

"Oh, what are you doing? Your makeup is ruined." Liu Yifei couldn't help but said coquettishly when she saw Li Mu approaching.

"Just paint again when you've spent it. There's still time anyway."

Li Mucai didn't care about these things. He hugged Liu Yifei's slim waist and started chewing.

After a while, he let go and licked his lips: "This lipstick seems a little sweet."

"Nonsense, how can lipstick be sweet?"

Liu Yifei blushed with embarrassment, picked up the small mirror from the table, and then took out her lipstick and touched it up.

"So beautiful, Sissy."

Gong Li couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Mu and Liu Yifei coming down.

This black dress adds a sense of mystery and really attracts people's attention.

"The main thing is that he is good-looking." Li Mu added at the right moment.

It immediately caused everyone to laugh.

Liu Yifei suddenly felt embarrassed and couldn't help pinching Li Mu.

"You say you, praise me and pinch me at the same time. If you don't praise me, you pinch me too. What do you want me to do?"

Li Mu smiled and whispered to Liu Yifei.

"You couldn't have chosen the right moment, you did it on purpose."

"."

The stars were shining brightly on the red carpet at the closing ceremony in Cannes.

As a grand ceremony that can compete with the Oscars, the scene is naturally very grand.

Li Mu appeared with the crew of "The Tuner", which immediately aroused the cheers of many fans and media.

The host even chased Li Mu and others, fearing that he would run away like he did on the red carpet at the opening ceremony.

"Li, this is your second time participating in the main competition section of Cannes. Are you confident of winning the Palme d'Or tonight?"

The host handed the microphone to Li Mu.

"I have watched several films this year and I think they are all very exciting. The competition is quite high. I hope I can win an award."

Li Mu said modestly.

"Okay, see you again at Li Mu's show-off scene."

"Yes, I just want a prize."

"Of course this award should be the Palme d'Or. By the way, Li Mu, I told you, you're welcome."

Domestic viewers commented and joked below.

The host asked almost all the crew members, and Wang Zhi did not let go. This innocent-faced actress with a bit of charm, because of her appearance in Cannes this time, her pretty face and good figure attracted many domestic men. fan.

In the venue, everyone in Li Mu was guided by the staff to sit down at the appropriate location.

This location is right in the middle, second only to the judges, an excellent location.

The Palme d'Or trophy was placed on the edge of the podium, attracting everyone's attention.

Spielberg took the stage to kick off the closing ceremony of the 66th Cannes International Film Festival.

However, Li Mu's main unit competition award has not yet arrived. The first ones are the "Un Certain Regard Unit", "Golden Society Photography Award" and "Short Film Competition Award".

The Short Film Palme d'Or went to South Korea's "Safety."

The final prize of the Un Certain Regard category, the Un Certain Regard Award, was awarded to the Cambodian and French documentary "The Missing Picture".

At this point, the awards for the main competition unit have officially begun.

Cannes is also a showman. Anyway, the trophies are put up first. The Palme d'Or trophy is placed in the center, which is a whole circle larger than the ones next to it, and it is dazzling.

The first award was the Jury Award, which was different from the Grand Jury Award. Even Li Mu was a little dizzy.

"Can't the organizing committee change its name?"

Li Mu complained to the crew.

"There's only a big difference between the two awards. Isn't it simple and clear? The jury award is bigger."

Liu Dehua answered and laughed in a low voice.

"."

In the end, the award that made Li Mu complain was given to the Japanese film "Like Father, Like Son".

Along with it comes the award for Best Screenplay.

The awards presenters did not deliberately create suspense like the Oscars did.

"This is a movie that directly faces the reality of the subject matter and the innovative structure of the "Quaduptych", Jia Zhangke's "Destiny", congratulations!!!"

The host read out the winners and movies very crisply.

The crew of "Destiny" suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers.

Although it is not the best award, it is still very exciting to win it.

But when this happened back in China, many domestic movie fans asked whether this was also "destined"?

Because there are so many Best Screenplay Awards won over the years.

Wang Xiaoshuai's "Left and Right" in 2008 and Wang Quanan's "Reunion" in 2010 won the Best Screenplay Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

In 2009, Lou Ye's "Spring Breeze Night" and this year's Jia Zhangke's "Destined" won the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Is it "destined" that Chinese films frequently win the "Best Screenplay Award" at European film festivals?

"I hope Li Mu can break this trend, otherwise we will always take the screenwriter, and others will think that we have no one except the screenwriter."

the audience chanted.
