Chapter 110 Winning the Prize
  The female host knew it. The 20-year-old young director from the East in front of her dared to say these words in front of the world's media on the red carpet before the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony.

Then, he must have gotten a hint from the organizing committee.

The look in his eyes was not only surprised, but also had a hint of respect, as well as a secret glance.

Domestic media were also at the scene. When they heard what Wang Shu said, they were all excited for a moment, and they took photos of Wang Shu with their cameras.

Whether it was Sina, Sohu, or other domestic media, they all immediately guessed that Wang Shu might have received a hint from the organizing committee in advance, and then he dared to say it openly in front of the world's media. These words.

Of course, as far as the media is concerned, it’s okay even if Wang Shu makes a fool of himself and pretends to be fat.

Because Wang Shu's words were already eye-catching hot news.

Whether Wang Shu can win the award or not is not important to them.

Among the domestic media that came to the Cannes International Film Festival, reporters from Sohu.com worked the hardest.

This is because Zhang Chaoyang, the boss of Sohu, also came to Cannes. A few days ago, he had a great conversation with Zhang Ziyi, who was wearing an abstract dress with a dragon tattooed on her chest, and they took a photo together.

In 2006, Sohu was at its peak, and Zhang Chaoyang was definitely one of the country's Internet giants.

Among the top five domestic portal blogs, Sohu blog ranks first in evaluation.

Its total revenue in 2006 was US$13423 million and net profit was US$2590 million.

By 2007, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB was 1:7.604.

Net profit of US$2590 million, which is nearly 2 million.

Due to limited time, the blond female host just chatted with Wang Shu for a few more words and then watched him leave with beautiful eyes.

With staff guiding them from the front, Wang Shu followed him into the venue and sat down with Jiang Wenli, Fu Dalong and Qin Hailu.

At the same time, the crews of "Dragon Tiger Gate" and "Ink Attack" on Hong Kong Island also walked on the red carpet.

The purpose of their trip is not to compete, but to promote the movie.

Slowly, as crews, guests, etc. from all over the world entered the venue one after another, the red carpet activities before the awards ceremony came to an end.

The 2006 59th Cannes International Film Festival Awards Ceremony officially began.

The host stood on the stage with a smile on his face, looking at the practitioners in the film art industry from all over the world below the stage.

He said loudly: "I am very happy to be able to gather together with filmmakers from all over the world. I would like to thank the filmmakers for their contribution to the world's film art."

"Tonight we present the new Palme d'Or."

"today."

"us."

"Cannes."

Films shortlisted for the competition include "Return", "Red Road", "Flanders", "The Tuner" and other films.

All shortlisted films are likely to win the final Palme d'Or.

As for the Palme d'Or trophy, it is a 138-gram pure gold palm leaf. The entire leaf is 13.5 cm long and 9 cm wide, with a total of 19 leaves. It is placed on a crystal base.

Regardless of whether it looks good or not, its symbolic meaning of honor is real.

As for the trophies of other awards, although they are also made of solid gold olive branches, their size is much smaller than the golden palm leaf of the Palme d'Or.

Putting the two trophies together, there is a clear difference.

Obviously, this is also to highlight the gold content of the first prize of the Palme d'Or.

As the host finished speaking, it finally came to the moment that everyone was most looking forward to.

The awards for non-competition units will be awarded first.

Although this had nothing to do with Wang Shu, he still became tense following the atmosphere at the scene.

"Director Wang, are you nervous?" Qin Hailu sat next to Wang Shu and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not nervous." Wang Shuyan replied insincerely.

Qin Hailu saw that Wang Shu really didn't seem nervous and silently gave him a thumbs up.

"What award do you think we can win today?" Qin Hailu asked again.

Before that, she had already learned from Wang Shu what the organizer had hinted in advance.

As an old art film actor, Qin Hailu knows the ropes well.

"It doesn't matter what the prize is, as long as it's a prize." Wang Shu whispered with a smile.

Qin Hailu curled his lips, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.

She sat next to Wang Shu, and on the other side of Wang Shu were Jiang Wenli and Fu Dalong.

In terms of position, Wang Shu and Jiang Wenli sat in the middle, while Qin Hailu and Fu Dalong sat on the sides.

As time passed, it was finally time to award the main competition unit awards.

Wang Shu glanced at Jiang Wenli beside him. This person seemed very nervous?

At this time, the award presenter stepped onto the stage and slowly announced under the expectant eyes of many filmmakers:
  "The winner of the Palme d'Or for Short Film at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival is"

"Bobbie Peers, "sniffer."

When the host announced the results, there was a burst of surprise shouts from the bottom of the stage.

At the same time, clips from the film "Sniffer" and awards instructions were also shown on the big screen on the stage.

The awards in the main competition section of the Cannes International Film Festival are the Palme d'Or, the Jury Prize, the Jury Prize (not permanent), as well as the Best Actor and Actor, Screenplay Award and the Short Film Palme d'Or.

Among them, the Palme d'Or is the first prize, the Jury Prize is the second prize, the Best Actor and Actor awards are the same as the Best Screenplay, and the last one is the Short Film Palme d'Or.

When the winner of the Short Film Palme d'Or takes to the stage to give his acceptance speech, the next step is to announce the winner of the Best Screenplay Award.

At this moment, Wang Shu became more and more nervous.

Although his "The Tuner" is a film with both artistic and commercial qualities, it is ultimately "innately deficient" and basically cannot compete with the film "Wind in the Wheat Waves" for the Palme d'Or.

He feels that when he comes to Cannes this time, what he is most likely to win is the Best Screenplay Award.

After all, there are more than 50 reversals in "The Tuner", but they have a certain gold content.

At this time, the award-giving guests had already walked onto the stage, and all the filmmakers from various countries in the audience were watching and looking forward to it.

Wang Shu did the same and started staring at the stage.

Qin Hailu glanced at Wang Shu secretly. As one of the main actors in "The Tuner", she knew that the script of "The Tuner" was of high quality, so she was very likely to win the prize at the Cannes International Film Festival. Best Screenplay Award.

Although Jiang Wenli and Fu Dalong did not look at Wang Shu, they also believed that "The Tuner" would definitely be able to compete for the best screenplay award.

The award presenter opened the envelope and took a look at the contents, then faced forward, paused for a moment under the gaze of countless people, and then said loudly: "The winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival is" Musician"."

Then the video clips of "The Tuner" and the selection narration appeared on the big screen.
  "Reversals and reversals are always unexpected. It is not only full of suspense and reversals, but also shows human nature."

Jiang Wenli, Qin Hailu, and Fu Dalong were the first to applaud after the presenter named the winner. When the applause of the three people rang out, filmmakers from all over the world followed closely and applauded warmly.

Wang Shu took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the stage, and began to deliver his acceptance speech.

“Thank you Cannes Film Festival”

The acceptance speeches are basically beautiful words prepared in advance. Just listen to them, but you really can't understand them.

Qin Hailu sat in the audience and looked at the high-spirited Wang Shu on the stage, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

"I went to Berlin to make a movie for the first time and won the Alfred Bauer Silver Bear Award. At that time, Director Wang was only 18 years old."

"I made another movie and went to Cannes and won the Best Screenplay Award. At this time, Director Wang was only 20 years old."

"In the field of film and television, Director Wang is really talented and gifted!"

Jiang Wenli couldn't help but sigh.

"There are also Best Director, Palme d'Or, etc. Director Wang may not only be the Best Screenwriter." Fu Dalong couldn't help but answer.

"Yes, the awarding of the main competition unit has just begun, and there are still opportunities to win other awards." Jiang Wenli said.

"The script of "The Tuner" is very good. It is reasonable for Director Wang to win this award." Qin Hailu said.

After Wang Shu gave his acceptance speech, he walked off the stage and returned to his seat. Qin Hailu, Jiang Wenli, and Fu Dalong said at the same time: "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Director Wang for winning the Best Screenplay Award."

"Same joy." Wang Shu replied with a smile, holding the trophy and certificate.

As soon as he sat down, Qin Hailu couldn't wait to take the trophy and certificate from Wang Shu and start enjoying his hand.

Then pass it to Jiang Wenli and Fu Dalong, so that they can also see what the Best Screenplay trophy and certificate at the Cannes International Film Festival looks like.

After a while, it was time to award the Best Actress Award.

Wang Shu glanced at Jiang Wenli secretly and saw her staring intently at the top of the stage, and then also looked at the top of the stage.

He feels that with this unprecedented mass production of best actor and best actress, Jiang Wenli really has a great chance of winning.

At this time, the award-winning guest standing on the stage had already opened the envelope, and then looked at the contents on the envelope with a surprised look on his face, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

As soon as the eyes enter, there are seven names.

this.
  Is the Best Actress Award presented in such a childish way?
  Soon, the award presenter recovered his composure from the surprise, and then faced everyone in the audience and announced loudly: "The actor who won the Best Actress at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival is"

"Penelope Cruz, Carmen Maura, Laura Dunas, Blanca Portillo, Yohanna Cobo, Daz Lemboreva, Jiang Wenli."

There are seven people in total, six of whom are actors in the movie "Return" and one is the heroine of "The Tuner".

When this list was announced, many people in the film industry in the audience were stunned.

Seven people winning best actress?

What the hell?

Although the Cannes Best Actor and Actor Awards do not distinguish between protagonists and supporting actors, both protagonists and supporting actors can compete for the Best Actor and Actor Award, but
  At film festivals, anyone who reveals a double-yolked egg will be criticized as unprofessional.

There were seven of them at once, and the double-yolked eggs were far less than one in ten thousand.

Can't you just choose one?

"Sister Wen Li, congratulations." Wang Shu took the lead and said with a smile.

At this moment, Jiang Wenli was also confused.

She won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes International Film Festival, together with six other foreign actors.
  Qin Hailu and Fu Dalong recovered from their confusion and hurriedly said, "Congratulations, congratulations to Sister Wen Li."

While Jiang Wenli turned from confused to excited, Qin Hailu was indescribably envious.

She auditioned for the heroine role in "The Tuner", but was outclassed by Jiang Wenli and had no choice but to play a supporting role in the movie.

Although supporting roles can also compete for the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, she was not even nominated, so how could she compete?
  Jiang Wenli walked onto the stage and stood with six other actresses.

I was feeling excited, happy, and sad at the same time. It can be described as a mixed bag of emotions.

An unprecedented seven people have won the Best Actress award together. Once the news is announced, they will definitely be considered to have no gold content.

Although she won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes International Film Festival,... something seemed wrong?

Seven people stood on the stage and delivered some acceptance speeches one after another.

It took quite a while until they finished speaking one by one.

Jiang Wenli returned to her seat and sat down. At this time, she was no longer confused, but excited and happy.

Cannes Best Actress Award!
  Although she won it together with six other foreign actresses, it is still a genuine Cannes Best Actress Award, isn't it?

There is no public relations in vain.

When Qin Hailu saw the Best Actress trophy and certificate in Jiang Wenli's hand, his eyes were still full of envy.

She glanced at Wang Shu, pursed her lips and snorted inadvertently.

The hum was so small that Wang Shu, who was sitting next to her, didn't hear it, let alone Jiang Wenli and Fu Dalong.

The Best Actress award has been awarded, and now comes the competition for the Best Actor award.

Fu Dalong suddenly held his breath and stared at the stage without moving his eyes.

As one of the Best Actor nominees at the Cannes International Film Festival, he has the opportunity to compete with other nominees for the Best Actor Award.

When the presenters walked onto the stage, there were whispers from the audience.

Seven actresses have won the Best Actress award in the past. Will the following male actors do it again?

The award-giving guest opened the envelope in front of everyone. After seeing the content inside, he was only briefly stunned and then regained his composure.

After all, it just happened that 7 actresses won the same award, so it is not surprising that something strange will happen next.

"The actor who won the Best Actor at the 59th Cannes International Film Festival is"

"Djamel Dubuz, Sami Nasseri, Roshdi Zem, Samy Boyajira, Bernard Brancain."

When the list was announced, the audience suddenly burst into exclamations.

It's coming, it's really coming, it's really coming with a bunch of best actors.
  Fu Dalong's expression management was pretty good. When he learned that he failed to win the Best Actor Award, he only felt depressed briefly, and then he applauded along with the others with a smile on his face.

Although he was smiling on his face, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Five people have won the Best Actor award, but he failed to win it.
  this.
