I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"Teacher Chen, don't worry, there's still a chance."

Cheng Sheng patted Chen Daoming's hand. He knew there were five Best Actor winners this year, but he wondered if Chen Daoming could become the sixth.

After all, in his opinion, Chen Daoming's performance in "Three Kingdoms" was no worse than anyone else's.

With the added advantage of being immersed in the scene, Director Chen's acting skills absolutely surpass those of the five main characters in "Glorious Years".

If he fails to win an award, then the Cannes Film Festival is definitely targeting Chen Daoming.

domestic.

Many people who listened to the Cannes Film Festival, upon hearing that the Best Actor was a foreigner, and many who knew Director Chen, felt sorry for him.

"It's a pity. Chen Daoming is a good actor. It's a loss for Chinese-language films that he didn't win an award."

Third Master Han shook his head and sighed.

Xu Xiaozhong said, "Old Han, it seems the post-production of 'Red Cliff' is finished. What are your plans for the release? It won't be scheduled for the same period as 'Three Kingdoms,' will it?"

Upon hearing this, Master Han said with a headache, "I originally planned to release 'Red Cliff' during the National Day holiday to avoid the release date of Cheng Sheng's film, but I don't know what's wrong with that old guy Wu Baige. He insists on releasing it at the same time as 'Three Kingdoms'."

"Hmph! What do you mean by 'taken the wrong medicine'? I think that old guy is just targeting Xiao Cheng. Wu Baige's heart is as narrow as a pinhole, and she's incredibly vengeful," Xu Xiaozhong mocked.

Master Han agreed with Xu Xiaozhong's words; Wu Baige had disappointed him greatly.

He always messes things up, and now even what he says is useless.

Despite being an investor in "Red Cliff," Wu Baige showed no respect for China Film Group at all.

"Have you seen the movie 'Red Cliff'?" Xu Xiaozhong asked.

"The screening will be scheduled for three days from now, but judging from Wu Baige's smug look, 'Red Cliff' should be pretty good."

"That's what Third Master Han said."

"If 'Three Kingdoms' and 'Red Cliff' are released in the same period, how do you plan to arrange the theaters? Lao Han, I'm telling you, you can't be biased, or I'll turn against you."

Xu Xiaozhong warned Han Sanye.

"How could that be! China Film Group invested in both films. I won't favor anyone. Theaters will increase screenings based on the quality of the films."

"That's good. I believe Xiao Cheng's movies won't be any worse than Wu Baige's."

Xu Xiaozhong nodded upon hearing this.

The Cannes awards ceremony venue.

The presenter then announced the name of another award recipient.

Holy crap! Double egg yolks!

Li Heiniu couldn't help but complain.

Cheng Sheng's lips twitched. What double yolk? Maybe five yolks, or even six yolks.

The Best Actress and Best Actor awards at this year's Cannes Film Festival were given out like they were free.

I wonder if Wong Kar-wai's appointment as the chairman of the jury this year is a stroke of luck! Or just good luck?

Awarding Best Actor and Best Actress trophies indiscriminately like this will definitely lead to a media storm afterward, and Wong Kar-wai, as the chairman, will be the perfect scapegoat.

"It's from the same movie," Director Chen said with a smile.

"Hey, it seems like five people have been nominated for Best Actor for this movie. Do you think they'll all win?" Da Tian Tian said.

"No way! Won't this ruin Cannes' reputation?" Li Heiniu was a little incredulous.

Chen Daoming fell into deep thought, because he knew Cannes had a history of such incidents.

It's not surprising that this is the case.

"Roshdi Zem, Semi Bouajila, Bernard Blancahn..." The guests in the audience were stunned when they heard the presenter say the three names again, and they all started to whisper among themselves.

"Good heavens, what is the Cannes jury doing? Six Best Actresses and five Best Actor awards? This is no way to divide the cake."

"The Best Actor and Best Actress awards at this year's film festival are probably the least valuable."

"I feel like I've come to a fake Cannes Film Festival."

"Hehe, this isn't the first time the Cannes Film Festival has done this. At the eighth Cannes Film Festival, they produced six Best Actress winners and ten Best Actor winners!"

“So it’s an old tradition, then it’s alright.”

"The movie 'Glorious Years' is pretty good. I went to the cinema to see it, and all five male leads gave excellent performances."

"Hmph! No matter how good he is, can he compare to Chen in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'? He is the god of acting."

"Yes, I watched the movie 'Three Kingdoms'. Chen's performance was really amazing. I'm afraid even an Oscar winner couldn't compare to him. If he hadn't been selected, I would have suspected that there was something fishy going on at the Cannes Film Festival."

"The Three Kingdoms has not won a single award yet. I hope Cannes will not cause trouble. Otherwise, even if they invite me, I will not come to the Cannes Film Festival again. An unfair film festival is definitely a nightmare for filmmakers."

"I heard that the chairman of this year's judging panel is Chinese, from the same country as 'Three Kingdoms,' so he should take care of his compatriots!"

"..."

Hearing the murmurs from the audience, the award presenter was incredibly embarrassed. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have been the presenter.

He felt like a clown on stage right now.

No.

He finished the award ceremony himself and immediately stepped down from the stage.

"And Daoming Chen from 'The Yellow Turban Rebellion', congratulations to the six gentlemen who won the Best Actor award this year."

As the award presenter finished speaking, the guests in the audience who had been discussing the matter came to their senses and began to applaud sparsely.

Director Chen stood up in surprise; he hadn't expected to win the Cannes Best Actor award.

Although there were quite a few Best Actor winners at this year's Cannes Film Festival, making the award seem a bit cheap, it was still a pleasant surprise for him.

"Congratulations, Teacher Chen."

Bao Guoan and the others realized what was happening and offered their congratulations with smiles.

Director Chen hugged each member of the crew, then walked onto the stage amidst applause.

"I really envy Teacher Chen. I hope I can win a Best Actress award someday," Da Tian Tian said with great envy.

Cheng Sheng was speechless. Did this Da Tian Tian have absolutely no self-awareness?

With her acting skills, how could she win the Cannes Best Actress award?

If it weren't for his personal immersion and support, Da Jingtian would probably still be filming "Three Kingdoms" right now!

“It’s even in my dreams,” Cheng Sheng said.

Da Tiantian was taken aback at first, then her face darkened, and she stomped hard on Cheng Sheng's instep with one foot, coldly saying, "Thank you!"

Cheng Sheng winced in pain; there was no need for such a thank you.

This also reminded Cheng Sheng of another memory: a famous scene from Da Peng's "Men's Diary".

"I stepped on your foot, thank you." The foreign woman stepped back, "You're welcome." She stepped on your foot again, "Thank you." The foreign woman stepped on your foot hard, "You're welcome."

This cycle continued until the final scene where the beautiful foreign woman forcefully kissed Dapeng, accompanied by the line "You're welcome."

Hong Yuzhou and Bao Guoan also saw Cheng Sheng's miserable state. They both smiled slightly; these two young men really knew how to have fun, flirting at the Cannes awards ceremony. (End of Chapter)
