Chapter 649 Get the Palme d'Or again

The Lumiere Hall of the Film Palace was silent, because the female guest just announced that the winner of the best actress award was from the East, and it was won by Brigitte Lin who starred in "Mulan".

This is tantamount to throwing a depth bomb at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't react, especially the Hungarian film "Another Vision", which was shortlisted for best actress at the same time.

The actress Jadvega Jankowska-Czezlak was confident that she would hit the Best Actress award, but when the dark horse "Mulan" broke out, her dreams were shattered and she was stunned. Wept bitterly in the seat.

Brigitte Lin held her evening dress in her hands, trotted onto the stage to receive the certificate and trophy from the female guest, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said very apologetically, "Everyone, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. It's really great to win this award." Unexpectedly, I would like to thank the jury, the entire "Mulan" crew, and of course, I would also like to thank you, Ah Hu, without you, I am afraid I would not have won this award, thank you."

Lin Qingxia's English is not very fluent, and she even stuttered, but it did not prevent everyone from hearing what she was talking about. When she finished speaking, there was warm applause in the Lumiere Hall.

They were very curious about this actress from the East. They marveled at how young she won the Cannes Best Actress crown, marveled at her beauty, and marveled at her unique oriental temperament.

Wang Xiaohu and Zhao Yazhi were also happy for Brigitte Lin and applauded vigorously to celebrate.

Brigitte Lin shook the trophy in her hand amidst the applause, and then stepped off the podium gracefully. When she got back to her seat, she rushed into Wang Xiaohu's arms, hugged his neck vigorously and kissed him until they parted. Only then blushed and said, "Ah Hu, thank you so much!"

Then, she winked playfully at Zhao Yazhi and said, "Azhi, I was sorry just now, I was too excited, and I took advantage of Ah Hu without your permission, don't blame me."

Zhao Yazhi smiled lightly and shook her head and said: "Qingxia, you are the first actress in the Chinese film industry now, it's too late to be happy for you, how can you blame me?"

Brigitte Lin put the trophy in Zhao Yazhi's hands, "Without the support of you and Ah Hu, I might still be shooting literary films in Taiwan. This award belongs to all of us."

"You won this by virtue of your own acting skills." Zhao Yazhi smiled and put the trophy back into Brigitte Lin's hands.

After this episode, the entire film palace began to become tense, and the source of this tension was brought by the Chinese.

Since the establishment of the Cannes Film Festival 35 years ago, this is the first time that a Chinese has won such an important award in Cannes. If it is said that Wang Xiaohu won four statuettes at the Academy Awards, he relied on directing the American film "Rocky".

So today, "Mulan" is a purely Chinese movie. Anyone who is familiar with Wang Xiaohu knows that he has maintained a close cooperative relationship with mainland China in the past few years. Two years ago, "Mythology" set off a Chinese craze throughout the world. Last year's "Shaolin Temple" made Chinese Kung Fu popular all over the world.

Now, "Mulan" is here, and it took away the Cannes Best Actress award without a word. Is this a prelude to the art film dynasty sent by a Chinese director who was once famous in the world for commercial films?
Next, there will be the most important Best Director Award and the Palme d'Or. I don't know if Wang Xiaohu will be upset again!
Now, even Wang Xiaohu, who had always been foolish and dismissive, became serious.

Because everything now has exceeded his expectations, it must be said that Brigitte Lin won the crown of Cannes Best Actress which surprised him very much.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Lin Qingxia deserved to win the award. In order to play Mulan well, Lin Qingxia suffered a lot. Even in the most difficult years of filming in mainland China, she always gritted her teeth and persisted. She never relied on martial arts movements. The stand-in, it is because of these personal efforts that there is no such outstanding Hua Mulan on the screen.

Just when Wang Xiaohu was feeling emotional, another award presenter came out, and the award he was going to present was the Best Director Award.

Maybe it's because Lin Qingxia's coronation just now made many people not catch their breath, maybe it's because the guest himself doesn't have much sense of humor, after he glanced at the post, he announced the list of winners in a very flat tone: " The winner of the best director at the 35th Cannes Film Festival is Imaz Gurney, "Road to Freedom"!"

"Hmm~"

Wang Xiaohu clearly heard Zhao Yazhi and Brigitte Lin sighing in frustration, so he asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you?"

"I thought the best director award was for you." Brigitte Lin said with a wry smile, "Looks like it's all for naught."

Zhao Yazhi said: "Actually, not necessarily, isn't there still the Palme d'Or? Maybe there is still a chance."

"Hehe, why do you have more confidence than me?" Wang Xiaohu smiled and pinched his wife's face.

Zhao Yazhi pursed her lips and smiled as a matter of course.

The next thing to be awarded is the highlight of this Cannes Film Festival. The chairman of the jury, Pierre Viot, and the head of the French Film Center, Gilles Jacob, walked up to the podium. Often, the Palme d'Or is awarded by the chairman of the jury. and the head of the French Film Center to present.

Everyone patiently waited for the two grandpas to present the awards, but who would have thought that they chatted about family matters on the awarding platform, chatting in a chattering manner.

Jill Jacob said with a smile: "The voting for the Palme d'Or is very difficult. We had a quarrel at one point, but in the end we agreed again. To be honest, this is the most exhausting time I have voted in the past few years!"

Jill Jacob glanced at the post after finishing speaking, then he pondered for a moment and said, "So, the number of winners of the Palme d'Or at the 35th Cannes Film Festival is two."

"Oh~~"

All the guests at the venue pricked up their ears, and it happened from time to time that two films won the Palme d'Or in Cannes.

"Everyone, hurry up." The chairman of the jury said with a smile, "In this case, I will read the first one, Costa Gavras, "The Great Missing"!"

The audience burst into warm applause. After hugging the crew, American director Costa Gavras walked onto the stage quickly, took the trophy from Jill Jacobs with joy on his face, and announced his award. testimonials.

Judging Chairman Pierre Viot suddenly changed his joking tone, glanced at the post, and said in a very serious tone: "Before I announce the second Palme d'Or, I must declare one thing: I specially I contacted Mr. Yao Guang, the ambassador of the Chinese embassy in France, and I got confirmation from him that Hua Mulan was indeed 1000 years earlier than Joan of Arc."

"So. Tiger King, "Mulan"!"

After Wang Xiaohu heard his name, he felt a little unbelievable. Yes, if he heard correctly, "Mulan" won the Palme d'Or. It even won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in France. You must know this award It is far more valuable than the Oscar for Best Director, at least it is worth [-] francs.

"Ahu." Zhao Yazhi called her husband's name, and she was the first to react and offered her passionate kiss, "I said, you will win the prize. My sixth sense has always been the most sensitive!"

"Hey, I'll bring you with me when I attend film exhibitions." Wang Xiaohu responded fiercely to his wife's kiss, then stood up and hugged Brigitte Lin.

"Congratulations, Ahu." Brigitte Lin smiled, if Zhao Yazhi's performance was still calm, she was already a little too excited, and once again she lifted Wang Xiaohu's neck and kissed her.

"Brother Hu, we won two awards." Chow Yun Fat also stood up and shook hands with Wang Xiaohu warmly.

Wang Xiaohu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fazi, you will do it in the future, trust me!"

"En." Chow Yun-fat nodded vigorously.

"Hey, old Wen, let's shake hands after I get the prize back. I don't have much time left."

"Of course!" No one is more excited than Lao Wen. You must know that he originally thought that the trip to Cannes was a waste of water, but he did not expect to win two awards at once, and both awards are extremely important. One is the Palme d'Or, and he is extremely proud now, because these two awards were won only after his unremitting persuasion, otherwise, according to the temper of the young boss, he would not come to any film festival.

Wang Xiaohu finished speaking with a smile and walked steadily onto the awarding platform under the attention of everyone.

"Congratulations, young man!" Judging Chairman Pierre Viot stretched out his right hand, then patted Wang Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "To be honest, there is one more thing I did before awarding the award, that is, I thoroughly researched your With the development of the world film industry, I found that you have a special quirk, is that right?"

Wang Xiaohu held Pierre Viot's hand, raised his eyebrows and asked blankly: "Queerness, why don't I know?"

"You almost knocked the judges over at the 46th Oscars because you're not used to hugging men!" Pierre Viot touched his nose with a wry smile and said, "That's why I gave up the celebration of hugging you just now Way, I worry about my nose."

"Hahaha~~~"

All the guests laughed, Wang Xiaohu shrugged innocently and said: "Yes, this can be regarded as my eccentricity."

"Tiger, what are you talking about?" Jill Jacob handed the Palme d'Or trophy to Wang Xiaohu.

Wang Xiaohu first looked at the Palme d'Or in his hand, and nodded with a smile, as if he was very satisfied with the appearance of the Palme d'Or.

Then he said with a smile: "I feel very honored to be able to stand on this stage and hold this trophy that symbolizes the crown of world art films from the two hands. Thank you to the judges of the jury for giving Chinese films this precious opportunity. What I want to say is that with the unremitting efforts of the Chinese people, there will be more and more opportunities for Chinese-language films to appear on the world film stage in the future, and I would like to thank you two for presenting this award to me.”
