Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 216 Scored twice
"May the Supreme Lord bless you!"

"No, this is in Cannes, Jesus bless you!"

"If you bless me, I will buy you a painting of The Last Supper and burn it for you when I get home."

While Huang Ze was frantically thinking about this, the guests on the stage began to open the envelopes with a smile on their faces.

"It's time to reveal the final grand prize."

"The winner of the Palme d'Or at the 42nd Cannes Film Festival is..."

"Sex, Lies and Videotape!"

In that 0.1 second, Huang Ze was stunned.

My brain was working like crazy, and I thought a lot in an instant.

Jesus is indeed unreliable in France, a country that loves Catholics.

I've worshipped the wrong god!
Also, is Harvey so awesome? It’s true that your Sex, Lies and Videotape won the Palme d’Or in its previous life, but my Pulp Fiction also won the Palme d’Or!
He was actually killed by you?

Just as Huang Ze slowly moved his head to look in Harvey's direction, the guest added with a heavy breath, "Pulp Fiction".

The English title of Pulp Fiction.

Huang Ze was very sensitive to this and was delighted the moment he heard it.

He stopped looking at Harvey and looked closer at John Travolta.

"Congratulations to you, the Palme d'Or winner. Congratulations to me, I won the bet." John Travolta extended his hand, Huang Ze shook it with his backhand, stood up, and the two hugged each other lightly, "But if you need me in the future, I can still act for free."

"Okay!"

After patting the other person on the back twice, Huang Ze let go of his hand, turned around and hugged Jennifer Connelly.

I originally wanted to give you a courtesy hug.

But based on his usual habits, Huang Ze felt that his breathing was a little restricted.

He's nineteen years old?

It's much more ferocious than it looks.

I really don’t know how high the mountain is!
"Congratulations!" Jennifer Connelly was so excited that she hugged Huang Ze a little harder.

The film he starred in won the Palme d'Or.

In the film industry, this award is absolutely valuable.

I succeeded!
It is not difficult to make some artistic films even if the box office is not high.

Not to mention that based on her aesthetic taste, she thinks this movie will do well at the box office.

"Thank you."

Huang Ze smiled, stopped hugging, and walked out of his seat.

This time, Huang Ze walked faster. It was his turn. He stood halfway and waited for Steven Soderbergh for a few seconds. He bumped fists with him again and said, "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Hahaha!" Both of them laughed heartily.

Although a double yolk egg is not as valuable as the Palme d'Or alone, the difference is not that big.

What's more, the two people who won the award are both young people under 30 years old.

Steven Soderbergh is twenty-six years old.

Huang Ze is a little older, twenty-nine years old, but this is already Huang Ze's second of the top three in Europe.

For both of them, this trophy is full of value.

"Congratulations, you two young men!"

The guests handed the two Palme d'Or trophies to Huang Ze and Steven Soderbergh respectively. "This time it's your turn."

Huang Ze raised his eyebrows at Steven, then started looking at the Palme d'Or trophy.

I have won awards in Cannes before, but those awards were just certificates. This is the first time Huang Ze has held a trophy.

This is a rectangular box that looks like a picture frame, with a golden palm leaf sealed inside.

I heard that the palm leaf is pure gold, which is quite valuable.

While Huang Ze was studying for a while, Steven Soderbergh had already finished his acceptance speech. After thanking Harvey, he gave the stage to Huang Ze.

"Cough cough."

“I hope it’s not the last one!”

Huang Ze glanced at the trophy in a showy manner, and then said seriously, "I am very happy to receive this trophy. To be honest, it was a bit unexpected."

"I would like to thank my motherland for nurturing me, and my parents and wife for their support."

"Thank you to the Cannes jury for liking Pulp Fiction."

“I would like to thank Warner Bros. for their trust in me.”

"I would also like to thank everyone who has worked hard on this film."

"Quentin, Zhang Shuping, Liu Weiqiang..." Huang Ze first thanked the crew members. For some unknown reason, Quentin was put first by Huang Ze. And because he won the Palme d'Or and was the last person to give his acceptance speech, Huang Ze didn't care about the time and mentioned all the crew members whose names he could remember.

Then it was the actors' turn to perform.

"John Travolta deliberately suppressed his dancing skills for the filming of this movie, Jennifer Connelly lost more than 20 kilograms in just over a month, Bruce Wesley specially learned boxing for a long time, and Samuel Jackson..."

Will Smith, Brad Pitt and others, Huang Ze also mentioned them.

"Finally, I will try my best to make more films, and will continue to try new things to bring different surprises to everyone!"

After finishing this lengthy speech, Huang Ze held the trophy high.

He glanced at everyone in the audience, and a feeling of lofty ambition suddenly burst out in his heart.

Having already won the Golden Lion, Palme d'Or, how far can the Golden Bear be?

Set a small goal.

Try to win the Golden Bear before turning 40 and collect all three!
And the Oscar for Best Director...

I thought about it in my head.

Then I couldn't help shaking my head in my heart.

This is basically impossible. The next ten years will be the most impossible ten years. Winning the Golden Bear before the age of forty is a victory!
"West Berlin, wait for me!"

Huang Ze raised his lips and walked off the stage with Steven, holding the trophy.

Sitting back in his seat, Huang Ze handed the trophy in his hand to the people around him, "Touch it, it will add to your luck!"

"Huang, you are so lucky in winning awards!" Thinking of the resume of this young director, John Travolta is a veteran Hollywood actor who has seen a lot of them. He couldn't help but admire him and look forward to the future. "Let me predict that we will also win something at the Oscars next year!"

"Like an Oscar winner?"

"Impossible." John Travolta waved his hands, but finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

All the awards have been presented, and not long after, tonight's closing ceremony came to an end.

Huang Ze walked out of the theater holding the Palme d'Or trophy in one hand, surrounded by members of the "Pulp Fiction" crew.

"Huang, do you think double yolks are fair to a film like Pulp Fiction that has revolutionized its structure?"

"Huang, Steven tied your previous record of being the youngest winner of the three top awards with "Taste of Cherry". Do you have anything to say to Steven?"

"Huang, how long do you think it will take to win the Golden Bear and collect all three?"
