[Xu Yi won the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival! ]

[The youngest Palme d'Or winner in history is born! ]

[The Cannes Film Festival made a special exception for Xu Yi, winning three awards alone!]

【…】

"Brilliant!"

"Xu Yi is awesome!"

"I will never criticize this guy again!"

"Palme d'Or, Best Director, and a Best Camera d'Or. This Cannes Film Festival is simply held specially for Xu Yi!"

"Even the head of the jury admitted that the director's skills are not as good as Xu Yi's!"

"That's right. You know, that guy has won the Palme d'Or and the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and was even nominated for the Oscar for Best Director. He's definitely a true international director!"

"The key point is that the guy also said that he asked Xu Yi for advice. So it seems that Xu Yi's directing skills are indeed not fake!"

"Nonsense! How could it be fake if it won the Palme d'Or? Even if it's just a title, other domestic directors must be at this level!"

The news that Xu Yi won the Palme d'Or immediately appeared on the front pages of major media outlets and portals.

And it quickly spread across the entire network.

All the netizens who learned the news were also shocked!
And that guy Quentin, since the Internet is not developed enough nowadays, he is not that famous in China.

But this guy could be the head of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival.

It has also won the Palme d'Or and the Oscar for Best Screenplay, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director.

It is no exaggeration to call him an internationally renowned director.

However, even such a great international director admitted that he was not as good as Xu Yi after personally verifying Xu Yi's directing skills.

It can be seen that Xu Yi's directing skills are not only solid, but also not false at all.

It’s really awesome!
As for Xu Yi’s fans, there is no need to mention them.

It was already past four in the morning, but some die-hard fans were still waiting for their brother Xu Yi to win the final prize!

They don’t care about the fact that even if you win the Best Director award, you can’t win the Palme d’Or!
Or maybe they just don’t understand at all!
And the facts have proved that they are right!

"Hahahahahaha, I knew Brother Xu Yi would definitely win this golden award!"

"They also said that if you win Best Director, you can't win the final award. What happened?"

"What do they know? Brother Xu Yi has never disappointed us fans!"

"Yes, they believe in the rules, but we believe in Brother Xu Yi even more!"

"Even the Cannes Film Festival has to make an exception for our brother Xu Yi. Let's see who dares to act arrogant in front of our brother Xu Yi!"

……

After Xu Yi finished his acceptance speech, this year's Cannes Film Festival came to an end.

But there was a big dinner and party afterwards.

As the biggest winner and the most dazzling star tonight, Xu Yi naturally cannot be absent.

"Xu, do you really not need me to introduce you to some Hollywood film companies?"

"Thanks, QT, but I have my own plans."

"Okay, but you can always contact me when you need anything."

"Don't worry, it will happen when the time comes."

"OK, then I won't keep you any longer."

As he spoke, Quentin glanced at Yan Xinchen who was beside Xu Yi.

He glanced at the other actresses and celebrities around him who were preparing to come over and greet Xu Yi.

Then he gave Xu Yi a very ambiguous look and left with a smile.

When he was verifying Xu Yi's true directing skills before, many of Xu Yi's answers benefited him a lot.

So he was also very grateful to Xu Yi.

I am also very optimistic about Xu Yi's future development.

So he doesn't mind being Xu Yi's guide to Hollywood.

After all, if you want to make blockbusters and make big money, you have to go to Hollywood!
Xu Yi is the winner of the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

He is also the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or in history.

It will definitely be favored by many film companies.

This will also include some Hollywood film companies.

But besides the gold everywhere in Hollywood, there are also pitfalls everywhere.

If there is no reliable person to recommend you, the chances of falling into a trap are definitely very high!
However, Xu Yi doesn't want to develop in Hollywood for the time being.

Therefore, I can only repay the favor I owe you this time when I have the chance in the future.

You should know that he won three major awards this time without any public relations.

Especially the final Palme d'Or, which was won in violation of the rules.

This favor is definitely much more important than him answering Quentin's questions!

After Quentin left, several more directors came over to congratulate Xu Yi.

And these directors are always accompanied by one or two actresses or female stars.

These actresses or female stars are obviously very interested in Xu Yi.

Unfortunately, there were no real big-name female stars attending this year's Cannes Film Festival.

And you know European movies.

Compared to them, Category III films are considered conservative!
So Xu Yi had no choice but to disappoint their kindness...

In addition, several European and American film companies have also expressed interest in him.

Xu Yi did not refuse and exchanged contact information with all of them.

At this time, Xu Yi suddenly saw a guy wearing sunglasses walking towards him.

Who else could it be but the King of Sunglasses?

He was also accompanied by several female stars from the "2046" crew.

"Director Xu, congratulations!"

Noticing Xu Yi looking at him, the King of Sunglasses, who was a few meters away, immediately laughed loudly and said.

Although he likes to show off, he is not stupid. He knows who he can offend and who he cannot.

Those stars wanted to become famous through his movies, which meant they needed him for something.

So no matter how big a star is, he doesn't take him seriously.

But Xu Yi is the director.

He is also a director whose achievements and popularity have just surpassed his.

Most importantly, he had seen Xu Yi's "Love".

Knowing that with Xu Yi's directing skills, his future prospects are definitely limitless!
Of course, he was not afraid of Xu Yi.

I just hope that when Xu Yi returns to China for an interview, he can be given a little face.

Or even better, you could say a few good words for him.

This way he wouldn't be too embarrassed...

At the same time, several female stars who followed him also expressed their congratulations to Xu Yi.

"Director Wang, you're too polite. I'm just lucky."

Xu Yi also said with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person.

The King of Sunglasses may pretend to be cool, but just don’t do it in front of him.

But this guy is obviously someone who can recognize reality.

No wonder he would lower his status in the future and shoot TV series and short dramas.

There was also Liang Chaowei, and Xu Yi didn't see him either.

I guess he didn't attend the dinner.

It just so happened that Xu Yi didn’t want to waste time talking to him.

Then he greeted the female celebrities around the King of Sunglasses one by one.

But he obviously has no interest in these female stars who are nearly 40 years old.

Not to mention Liu Jialing and Zhang Manyu, who were not considered real beauties when they were young.

Gong Li is not his type either.

However, there is one exception among these female stars.

That is Yu Jiaolong Zhang Ziyi!
That’s right, Zhang Ziyi was also following the King of Sunglasses at this time!
She also starred in Sunglasses King's "2046".

I also attended the previous award ceremony together.

It’s just that she is just a supporting role in "2046", but she is the heroine in "House of Flying Daggers".

That's why I have been following the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" before.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" failed to be shortlisted for the main competition unit.

And the price of selling movies these days also makes Zhang Yimou very dissatisfied.

Zhang Yimou's previous film "Hero" grossed 1.7 million US dollars worldwide.

As for how much overseas copyrights have been sold, there is no accurate figure.

But Zhang Yimou must feel that he lost money by selling it.

That's why they made another movie called "House of Flying Daggers", hoping to ride on the box office success of "Hero" and sell it at a high price.

It’s a pity that those foreign film producers are too cunning.

Especially that guy Harvey Weinstein, it was he who bought the distribution rights of "Hero" in Europe and the United States.

But this time, after watching "House of Flying Daggers", I realized that the quality is far inferior to "Hero".

The two male protagonists, Jin Chengwu and Andy Lau, cannot compare with Jet Li in box office appeal.

It is impossible to support the box office with just Jade Fox.

In addition, European and American audiences are interested in "Hero" more out of curiosity and the influence of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

There are now two movies of the same type.

It is unknown how many viewers would be interested in another film.

Naturally, it is impossible to offer a high price.

As a result, Zhang Yimou failed to be shortlisted for the main competition unit and failed to successfully sell the film at a high price.

Even though he received an invitation to the award ceremony, he ultimately chose not to attend.

After all, the old man nowadays still has to have some dignity...

"Sister Ziyi isn't following Director Zhang?"

Xu Yi asked knowingly.

At the same time, his eyes were fixed on her.

"Um... Director Zhang has been busy contacting those overseas film distributors recently..."

Zhang Ziyi immediately replied somewhat embarrassedly.

She can't say that Director Zhang didn't attend the awards ceremony because he was provoked by you, Director Xu.

She followed the King of Sunglasses just to get a taste of the Cannes red carpet.

However, she was still very surprised that Xu Yi took the initiative to talk to her.

Just seeing this scene, the expressions of the other female stars immediately became a little ugly.

In terms of status, none of them is less famous than Zhang Ziyi.

I won’t talk about Gong Huang.

Zhang Manyu also just won the Best Actress award at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

There is only one Liu Jialing, and she doesn't have any outstanding works.

But her connections in the circle are not exaggerated.

But there's nothing we can do about it, since Zhang Ziyi is young!
The key is that she is beautiful!
Xu Yi must be more interested in her!

As for whether he would offend other female stars by doing this.

He doesn't care.

Not to mention that they are all out of fashion.

Even if she's still popular, he doesn't take her seriously!
