During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 96 Sister Li reaches the top, and Wei and Jin become gods

The next day the reviews for the movie "Room" came out:

"This is the most surprising film at this film festival. The director not only adequately portrays the plight of the kidnapping, but also reflects a lot on life after returning to the real world in the second half, which improves the pattern of the film. Here I have to admire the director's perspective - a child's perspective. - "Cahiers du Cinema"

"Through an innocent psychology and a flawless perspective, the director's technique is very admirable in depicting the complexity and complexity of society and reality. Using a child's voice allows us adults to re-see the world. This is a great story !--"New York Times""

"This is a movie about love. Although the structure of the movie is small, the degree of completion is very high. After watching this movie, I am convinced that it will change all of us - "Sight and Sound""

"."

The rave reviews for "Room" made everyone extremely excited. According to Chen Zhiming, more than a dozen film companies came to contact him last night, and the prices they offered were very high.

At the same time, with the grand premiere of "Room" in Cannes last night, domestic media reports on the film also came out one after another. Many netizens fell into carnival after reading the articles online.

"Wow, is it true? The applause lasted for more than ten minutes?"

"I don't know, but I believe it will be a very good movie."

"I wonder if Director Wei will come back with another Palme d'Or this time?"

"It's hard to say, since the great poet "Farewell My Concubine", no one has touched the Palme d'Or in more than ten years."

"I hope Dalizi can win the Best Actress, but there is still no such thing in China. Manshen is from Xiangjiang."

"Isn't Emperor Gong the Queen of Best Actress at Cannes?"

"That doesn't count. It's a special award, not the best actress."

"Believe me, you can definitely win the Best Actress Award. It is said that this movie was made for Zeng Li."

"support."

Although the Internet is in full swing, it is not yet popular. After the movie channel broadcast the news of the premiere of "Room" in Cannes that night, it suddenly aroused heated discussion in the media:

"When encountering excellent films at film festivals over the years, movie fans will spontaneously stand up and applaud their favorite films for a long time. When the screening of the movie "Room" ended, thousands of viewers in the Lumiere Hall of the Cinema Palace stood up to applaud the film and its creative team. Applause, the applause was like a storm, and it lasted for more than ten minutes. You can still see the tears on the faces of many fans."

On TV, the scene of the audience standing up and applauding was still playing, and the whole atmosphere was very warm. Wei Jin and the creative team bowed several times to express their thanks, but they still could not resist the enthusiasm of the audience, and instead received more applause.

In front of the TV, many viewers were also infected by the pictures on the TV, and they suddenly felt proud in their hearts, and their impressions of Wei and Jin became better and better.

In the Yanjiao villa, Gao Yuanyuan watched Wei Jin on TV, feeling proud that her man was so outstanding.

But when I saw Zeng Li bowing with a smile on her face, I felt a little disappointed.

Then I thought of "Search" again. Although it was not directed by Wei Jin this time, Gianzhuangzhuang is also a famous domestic director and is very good at literary films. He must not lose to this woman.

"Hmph, I clearly agreed to send me the script, but I didn't direct it myself. I'll deal with you when I get back."

In the hotel room of the crew of "Beauty's Scheming", Jing Tian was nestled on the sofa, watching Wei Jin on TV accepting the applause of the crowd, with a smile on his face, holding a pillow and talking to himself:

"Brother Wei Jin is indeed the best, but when are you going to confess your love to me? It's really annoying."

In another room in the same hotel, Fan Bingbing looked at Wei Jin on the TV, his face flushed, and he once again made up his mind to catch this man.

In a villa, Liu Yifei also saw this scene. Thinking of what Wei Jin said to her, she felt a little hopeful:

"Mom, when do you think I can become the heroine of Brother Wei Jin's movie?"

"Haven't you already been one? I see that many people on the Internet call you the first-generation 'Jin girl'."

"But that was two years ago, and I also wanted to go to Cannes."

"Then when Wei Jin comes back this time, keep in touch with him more. Don't think Mom is too powerful. If you don't contact me often, how can he remember you if he has the chance?"

"Well I listen to you, Mom."

In the hotel room of the crew of "The Temptation of Going Home", Yan Danchen pressed the remote control and turned off the TV with a complicated expression. I have to say that Wei Jin is a very good man, but unfortunately he seems to have no place for himself in his heart.

As a somewhat traditional woman, Yan Danchen still longs to start a family with the man she likes, but judging from the absurd threesome that night, the possibility of marrying Wei Jin is almost zero.
  Wei Jin didn't know the heated discussion about her in the domestic media and netizens at this time, nor did he know the various thoughts of the women around him.

After the premiere of "Room", word-of-mouth exploded, and the official arranged several small screenings. The venues were full and extremely popular.

There are three Cannes catalogs, the British "Screen", the old American "Hollywood Reporter" and the French "France Film". These journals will publish a special issue every day during the festival, summarizing and evaluating the films screened the previous day.

The Cannes venue magazine gives a full score of 4 points, and generally a score of more than 3 points is considered a high score.

The average score of "Room" has reached 3.4 points, which is the highest score among the dozen films in the main competition that have been released so far. Wei Jin's voice for winning the award was very high.

Amidst such popularity at home and abroad, the closing ceremony of the film festival is approaching.
  On the morning of May 5, as the phone in Wei Jin's room rang, everyone held their breath.

When they saw the smile on Wei Jin's face, everyone jumped up happily.

Yes, the crew has received an invitation from the organizing committee for the closing ceremony.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the costumed cast and crew of "Room" once again walked onto the red carpet amidst the media's jousting and the cheers of fans.

At 7:30, the awards ceremony officially began. After the festival chairman gave a brief speech, the nine-member jury, led by the King of Sunglasses, appeared again.

What Wei Jin didn't know was that the Sunglasses King's eyes under his sunglasses had unconsciously looked in the direction of the "Room" crew. The previous review meeting was extremely intense. Now that he thought about it, the Sunglasses King was still frightened and secretly thought it was dangerous. .

As small prizes were awarded one after another, Wei Jin knew that the big event was coming.

Contrary to the expectations of everyone present, as soon as the Best Actor award was awarded, the whole audience was in an uproar, including five people. Is this wholesale? But since all 5 judges have passed, according to the rules, this is allowed.

Wei Jin already had a bad feeling in his heart. If Sister Li wins the award, she won't be ridiculed for being a queen.

Sure enough, when Monica Bellucci read out a long list of names, everyone knew that this was another wholesale award.

However, the crew of "Room" has already cheered, and Zeng Li's name is among them.

Zeng Li was still a little in disbelief at this time. Although she didn't understand why so many people won the award together, it was a recognition of herself after all. This was the Best Actress at Cannes, and no one from the three major art schools in the country had ever won it.

After several winners spoke, it was Zeng Li’s turn. "Congratulations, Sister Li, hurry up and get on stage."

Although Wei Jin was a little annoyed by the jury's showmanship, he still expressed his congratulations to Zeng Li.

Zeng Li hugged Wei Jin excitedly, but could not say anything at the moment. With excitement, he slowly walked onto the stage.

When receiving the mini Palme d'Or trophy and certificate from the presenting guest, Zeng Li gradually regained her composure:
  "Thank you, thank you to the judges for their recognition of me. I am very happy to be able to win this award. I would like to thank my family who supported my acting career, my alma mater that trained me, and the director and screenwriter of this film. Thank you. , Xiaojin! Finally, thank you to Cannes."

Zeng Li looked in the direction of Wei Jin, with love flashing in her eyes. This man had given her incomparable honor.

Zeng Li returned to his seat amidst the applause of the crowd, gave Wei Jin a big hug, and whispered in Wei Jin's ear:
  "Xiao Jin, I love you."

Wei Jin patted Sister Li on the back and felt a little emotional in his heart. Scenes of how he and Sister Li met and stayed together flashed through his mind. Perhaps his feelings for Zeng Li were more about lust at the beginning, but in the past three years, After getting along, Wei Jin has truly fallen in love with this woman who is infinitely tolerant of him, and the relationship between the two has begun to evolve towards family affection.

The awards are still going on
  The best director was awarded to the director of "Tower of Babel",

The Jury Prize was awarded to the British film The Wind in the Wheat,
  Seeing that only the Jury Prize and the most important Palme d'Or were left, Wei Jin couldn't help but become nervous. The crew felt as if their throats were being pinched, and they didn't dare to express their anger.

The Grand Jury Prize was awarded to France's "Flemler"

At this time, Wei Jin's palms were already sweating, and there was only one award left. If not, then the crew of "Room" could only be considered disappointed this time.

While everyone in the audience was looking forward to it, the award presenter announced the suspense:
  "The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 59th Cannes Film Festival is "Room", Wei Jin, congratulations!"

With a bang, Wei Jin felt like something exploded in his head. Although he had been mentally prepared, there was still a huge surprise filling his chest at the moment when the suspense was revealed.

"Xiaojin, congratulations, I knew you were the best."

Zeng Li jumped up excitedly and hugged Wei Jin excitedly, with an extremely proud smile on his face.

"Thank you, Sister Li, you have a share of this prize."

Wei Jin calmed down, hugged everyone in the crew one by one, straightened his back, and walked slowly towards the stage.

After receiving the Palme d'Or trophy from the presenting guest, Wei Jin took a deep breath and came to the stage:

"Thank you, thank you to the judges for their recognition of me. To be honest, I am surprised and pleasantly surprised to receive this award."

At this time, the Sunglasses King in the audience was also sighing in his heart. He was very surprised. It was really a fluke. He did not expect that the other two female judges besides Zhang Ziyi would also support "Room".

In the original time and space, the Palme d'Or was awarded to "Wind Blowing Wheat Waves," but the war theme it expressed was not very popular with the three female judges. In the end, after some compromise, it only won the Jury Prize.

The three female judges admired the core of "Room" very much, and coupled with the series of sexy moves by the Sunglasses King, Wei Jin was finally promoted to the altar.

Wei Jin did not know these stories that happened during the review process, and his speech continued:

"Thanks to all the colleagues on the crew for their hard work, to the actors for their dedication, to my family for their support, to my alma mater for cultivating me. In fact, this film is my graduation work. Finally, thank you again To all the judges, thank you Cannes."

When they heard that Wei Jin had not graduated yet, everyone was shocked. Is this the youngest Palme d'Or winner in history?
  The media have already thought of headlines for the news.
  After the awards were over and the award-winners took a group photo together, everyone rushed to the official closing reception.

Wei Jin accompanied Zeng Li back to the hotel to change clothes. When he arrived at the reception venue, there were already many people here, and everyone was chatting with each other.

As the biggest winners of this year's film festival, Wei Jin and Zeng Li were congratulated as soon as they appeared.

Wei Jin and Zeng Li also took the wine glasses from the waiter and started chatting with everyone.

"Director Wei, Lizi, congratulations to you, I must treat you to dinner when you return to the capital."

As a judge, Zhang Ziyi was naturally present and came to congratulate the two.

"Thank you, and I also want to thank Miss Zhang for her support. If you want to eat, you can choose any place."

Wei Jin knew that to win the prize, Zhang Ziyi must have put in a lot of effort, and his perception of this woman also changed somewhat.

"Zi Yi, thank you for your support. We old classmates must find time to get together when we return to Beijing."

"Stop looking for time, just take advantage of Director Wei. Director Wei, do you mind if I call a few more people?"

Zhang Ziyi also noticed the change in Wei and Jin's attitude, and wanted to strike while the iron was hot to deepen the relationship. With Zeng Li here, wasn't this a ready-made bridge?
  "Of course I don't mind. I have been famous for a few golden flowers in Zhongxi Opera 96 ​​for a long time."

Wei Jin, who was in a comfortable mood, naturally didn't care about Zhang Ziyi's little tricks, and thought about not letting Zeng Li see anything by then.

"Haha, that's settled"

"We are having a cocktail party later, welcome to join us."

Wei and Jin sent invitations to Zhang Ziyi.

Generally, after the official reception, a celebratory reception will be held for award-winning films. The reception for "Room" was organized by a public relations company, and it is estimated that it has already started.

Then Wei Jin started chatting with the acquaintances present and extended invitations. Of course, the Sunglasses King was also indispensable.

After two consecutive cocktail parties, Wei Jin was also a little tired. He helped Zeng Li, who was a little drunk, back to the room. Unexpectedly, Sister Li had prepared a big surprise for him tonight.
  When he woke up early the next morning, Wei Jin looked at the beauties sleeping beside him, feeling extremely satisfied and caressing their half-exposed skin with some fascination.

As if they were aware of the man's caress, both of them woke up drowsily. Liu Yan had a look of enjoyment on his face, but Zeng Li's face turned slightly red.

After all, she had exceeded her bottom line last night. Although it was a reward given by herself, she still felt a little embarrassed when facing Liu Yan. Wei Jin wanted to enjoy the blessings of Qi Ren for a long time, so it seemed that he had to continue to work hard.

"Sister Li, thank you."

Wei Jin held Zeng Li in his arms with some pity, knowing in his heart how much courage Sister Li mustered up.

Liu Yan on the side was a little envious when she saw this. She knew that she could never compare to Zeng Li in Wei Jin's heart.

As if aware of Liu Yan's little thoughts, Wei Jin also took her into his arms.

In the morning sunshine, the three of them hugged each other quietly, and there was an indescribable harmony.
