I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"Congratulations, Director Cheng."

Chen Daoming hugged Cheng Sheng.

"Congratulations, Director Cheng."

"Congratulations……"

The crew members all congratulated Cheng Sheng, and even Wang Chao, who was sitting in the row behind Cheng Sheng, congratulated him with a smile.

Cheng Sheng hugged everyone, and then walked onto the stage amidst applause.

"Cheng, congratulations, you are the greatest historical film director."

The guest hugged Cheng Sheng and expressed his appreciation.

"Thank you."

He accepted the trophy from the presenter and raised it.

clap clap clap!
Applause erupted again from the audience.

After being politely declined by the award presenter, Cheng Sheng walked to the microphone, adjusted its height, and began to deliver his acceptance speech.

"At this moment, I am very excited..."

now.

People in China who were listening to the Cannes Film Festival were all shocked when they heard that Cheng Sheng had won the Best Director award.

"That's great, Sister Ting, did you hear that? Cheng Sheng won Best Director at Cannes."

Zeng Li couldn't help but hug Mei Ting tightly and shout loudly.

Seeing Zeng Li's excited expression, Mei Ting smiled slightly. Zeng Li at this moment was just like herself when she fell in love with Yan Po.

I hope she won't end up like me.

"Big Pear, hurry up and post a message to congratulate Director Cheng."

Mei Ting pressed down on the excited Zeng Li and said.

"Yes, yes, I'll send it right away."

Zeng Li, who already had a plan in mind, wrote and thought about how she should welcome Cheng Sheng back.

When Cheng Sheng won the Best Director award at Cannes, not only Zeng Li posted a message, but other celebrities, whether they knew Cheng Sheng or not, also posted messages to congratulate him.

Mango station.

Today is the day of recording for "Happy Family".

Guests participating in tonight's recording include Li Xiaoran and Zhang Jie.

While playing the water splashing game, Li Xiaoran accidentally got soaked to the bone.

As her best friend, Xie Na quickly draped a towel over Li Xiaoran's chest to prevent her from being exposed.

After all, it's summer now, and everyone is wearing very thin clothes. In particular, Li Xiaoran was wearing white clothes, and with water splashed on her body, the clothes were sticking directly to her skin, making it easy for her to expose herself.

Fortunately, Xie Na reacted quickly; otherwise, even if this part were cut, it would still have been seen by everyone present.

Upon seeing this, He Jiong had the recording paused and then asked Li Xiaoran to go backstage to change her clothes.

After Li Xiaoran changed her clothes and came back, she wanted to continue recording the show, but she found He Jiong and the others chatting together.

What are you all talking about?

Li Xiaoran walked over and asked.

"Ranran, you've come at the perfect time! Director Cheng just won the Best Director award at Cannes, and we've all been talking about him!" Xie Na said, pulling Li Xiaoran along.

Before Xie Na betrayed Li Xiaoran, she and Li Xiaoran were good friends, and Xie Na would think of Li Xiaoran when she needed help.

Cheng Sheng has won an award!

Li Xiaoran was very happy to hear this.

"Yes! Director Cheng is only in his twenties and he has already won the Best Director award at Cannes. He has a bright future ahead of him!" Li Weijia exclaimed.

"Director Cheng is probably the youngest Cannes Best Director ever," He Jiong said.

"Xiao Ran, I heard you know Director Cheng?" Du Haitao asked, his eyes darting around as he looked at Li Xiao Ran.

"Yes, we met once." Li Xiaoran nodded.

"Are you familiar with him?"

Although Li Xiaoran is a bit love-struck, she's not stupid. Judging from Du Haitao's expression, he clearly has some ill intentions.

"We just know each other, we're not very close," Li Xiaoran said casually.

Du Haitao was a little disappointed when he heard this, and said: "If Sister Xiaoran were familiar with Director Cheng, I would have liked to ask you to invite Director Cheng to participate in one of our programs."

"Taozi, I'm afraid that won't work. The TV station invited Director Cheng before, but he didn't agree," He Jiong said.

"Why? Our show is very popular, and it can help promote Director Cheng's movie. Why won't he agree?" Du Haitao was very confused.

"Happy Family" is the most popular variety show in China. Many film crews and celebrities who want to promote their work are lining up to appear on the show, but Cheng Sheng actually refused!
"He's a director, not a celebrity who needs to be in the spotlight or do publicity. Besides, he's so busy, he doesn't have time to participate in our program," He Jiong explained.

“Stop chatting, there are so many people online congratulating Director Cheng on winning the award, we’ll do the same.”

Xie Na interrupted.

"Yes, yes, Director Cheng has brought glory to the country, we must congratulate him."

Upon hearing this, He Jiong and others also posted articles online.

Instead of posting an article, Li Xiaoran took out her phone and sent Cheng Sheng a congratulatory text message.

Besides congratulating him, the message also asked when he would return to China and expressed the intention to invite him to dinner.

Cheng Sheng winning the Best Director award at Cannes was a major breakthrough in the country.

Prior to this, other Chinese directors had also won the Cannes Best Director award, namely Wong Kar-wai and Yang Dechang.

Logically speaking, even if Cheng Sheng were to receive this award, there shouldn't be such a commotion.

After all, Cheng Sheng is the third person to receive this award.

However, Cheng Sheng differs from the previous two in one aspect.

That is, Cheng Sheng is the first person from mainland China to win the Best Director award at Cannes.

Wong Kar-wai was from Hong Kong, while Yang Dechang was from Yizhou.

That's why Cheng Sheng's receipt of this award caused such a sensation in mainland China.

Cheng Sheng's award this time not only brings mainland filmmakers into the spotlight, but also signifies the emergence of another great director for Chinese cinema on the international stage.

Domestic media reporters were even more excited upon hearing the news. Without being urged by the company, they immediately wrote lengthy reports and posted them online.

As media reporters began reporting on the event, the news of Cheng Sheng winning the award immediately caused a huge stir both domestically and internationally.

More than half of the people in the entertainment industry posted messages to congratulate Cheng Sheng, but a small number remained silent.

These people are Wu Baige, Feng Dapao, Chen Kaige, a certain Zhao, Lin Zhilin, etc.

Chen Kaige originally had a fairly good relationship with Cheng Sheng, but because he was angered by Chen Hong before, and also because he was jealous of Cheng Sheng winning the Best Director award at Cannes at such a young age, he stopped posting congratulatory messages.

Wu Baige and Feng Dapao had personal grudges against Cheng Sheng. It was already good enough that they didn't post articles to denounce Cheng Sheng, let alone congratulate him.

As for people like Zhao, they have no grudge against Cheng Sheng, but during the war of words between Cheng Sheng and Wu Baige last year, they sided with Wu Baige, which can be considered as creating a rift between them and Cheng Sheng.

In this situation, they were too embarrassed to fawn over Cheng Sheng.

If they were to do that, they would offend Wu Baige first and foremost.

People in the industry generally know how stingy Wu Baige is.

Therefore, it's best to remain silent when you're pleasing neither side.

Who was the most angry about Cheng Sheng winning the award?

That must be Wu Baige.

You should know that he had the biggest grudge against Cheng Sheng.

He hired online trolls to smear Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng then conspired with coal mine owners to set him up, making him lose face big time. (End of Chapter)
