Chapter 246 Best Director Award
"Alright, quickly return the trophy to Teacher Chen. Don't break it, or you won't be able to afford to pay for it even if you sell yourself."

Cheng Sheng's words woke Da Tian Tian from her dream.

"Humph!"

Da Tiantian glared at him unhappily and snorted, but she still obediently returned the trophy to Director Chen.

Next, we will present the Best Director award.

In the film industry, the prestige of major awards has always been a topic of great interest.

These awards not only represent the highest honor in the film industry, but are also an important standard for judging the professional level of films and filmmakers.

The Cannes International Film Festival is one of the world's most prestigious film festivals, and its Palme d'Or is considered the highest award in the art of film.

The award emphasizes the innovation and artistry of films, and the winning works often generate widespread attention and discussion worldwide.

The Palme d'Or represents a collective award for films.

It is the highest honor a film can receive.

The Best Director award, on the other hand, is an individual award given to a director, representing the greatest recognition of that individual.

The Best Director award at Cannes is one of the most prestigious awards at the Cannes Film Festival each year, given to filmmakers who have demonstrated exceptional directing talent during the festival.

Winning the Best Director award at Cannes means that the director's work presented during the film festival not only received high recognition from the audience, but also won the favor of the jury.

This award is an affirmation of the director's skills and also represents the director's rising status in the international film industry.

Award-winning directors typically receive more opportunities in their subsequent careers, and their works gain wider attention and acclaim.

With numerous entries and fierce competition at the Cannes Film Festival each year, winning the Best Director award is no easy feat.

The jury will comprehensively evaluate the work based on various factors, including the director's control over the plot, the guidance of the actors, and the overall audiovisual presentation.

For example, a director who can use delicate storytelling techniques to deeply explore the inner world of the characters, while also presenting the film with a unique visual style, is more likely to stand out and win this honor.

Historically, many outstanding directors have won the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival, such as Wong Kar-wai, the president of this year's jury. Their works are widely praised for their profound content and superb skills.

These directors not only further solidified their status in the film industry by winning awards, but also gained wider dissemination and influence for their works.

For film enthusiasts and professionals alike, the Cannes Best Director Award is not only a recognition of a director's talent, but also an important indicator of the development of film art.

In conclusion, the Best Director award at Cannes is a prestigious honor at the film festival, representing the director's outstanding achievements in creating their work and indicating a brighter future for the winner in the film industry.

This award not only inspires filmmakers to continuously pursue new artistic heights, but also provides film lovers around the world with opportunities to appreciate outstanding films time and time again.

Award-winning directors and their works are often repeatedly mentioned and celebrated in the years to come, becoming classics in film history.

Cheng Sheng was nominated for this award for his work on "Three Kingdoms," which means that even if he doesn't win the award, he has already gained recognition from many people.

However, if a director doesn't want to win an award after being nominated, then he is definitely not a good director.

Cheng Sheng was also a little nervous. Compared to Best Screenplay, he actually wanted to win Best Director, because that was the highest praise for his personal ability.

As for the Palme d'Or, the most prestigious award at the Cannes Film Festival, it would be best to win it, but if you don't, you can wait for the next edition.

After all, he is still young and will have plenty of opportunities in the future.

According to another account, the Best Director award this year will be given to American director Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Babel".

Cheng Sheng also has another memory: he has a very strong impression of director Alejandro. As one of the "Three Amigos of Mexican Cinema," his works are not as technically advanced as Alfonso Cuarón's, nor are they as monstrous as Guillermo del Toro's.

He is a dream weaver of magical realism, whose world is bizarre and captivating through his lens.

From 2000 to 2006, Alejandro filmed his "Fate Trilogy": Amorepacific, 21 Grams, and Babel.

Non-linear narrative, three-part structure, interconnected yet independent stories... these films earned him a title: Mexico's Quentin Tarantino.

But his works are much heavier than Quentin's.

In a sense, all three works focus on the communication problems between people in modern society.

According to history, "Babel" earned him the Best Director award at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Later, at the 87th Academy Awards, he won four awards for "Birdman": Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.

It can be said that Alejandro is an outstanding filmmaker and director.

I wonder if he can still win Best Director this time, since he has his own "Three Kingdoms" to his name, or if he'll snatch it away from the award.

domestic.

"Big Pear, do you regret not going to the Cannes Film Festival with Director Cheng?" Mei Ting asked Zeng Li.

"It's because my best friend got divorced, and now it's too late to regret it," Zeng Li said with a smile.

"Thank you, Big Pear."

Hearing Zeng Li's words, Mei Ting was moved and hugged Zeng Li tightly.

"If Director Cheng wins the Best Director award later, how do you plan to post a congratulatory message?"

After hugging for a while, Mei Ting let go and said.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li fell into deep thought. Just now, Director Chen Ming won the Best Actor award, and she had also posted a congratulatory message, though it was only a few words.

But if Cheng Sheng wins the award, what congratulatory words should she say?
"Old Xu, the Central Academy of Drama probably already prepared the Best Director banner for Xiao Cheng, right?"

Master Han smiled at Xu Xiaozhong.

"That's not the case. It's still just a rumor. If we don't get it, it would be incredibly embarrassing."

Xu Xiaozhong pouted and said.

Although he didn't order the banner early on, he did instruct the school teachers that as soon as Cheng Sheng received the award, they should immediately have someone order a long banner from an advertising company.

"I don't really want Xiao Cheng to win Best Director," said Master Han.

"Hey, Lao Han, you're just jealous. Why can't students from the Central Academy of Drama win Best Director? Is it only students from the Beijing Film Academy who can win it?!"

Xu Xiaozhong glared and puffed out his cheeks.

They looked like they were ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

"Don't rush, let me explain. The main problem is that now that we've won Best Director, we might miss out on the Palme d'Or," said Master Han.
