Chapter 974 Cannes Closing Ceremony Red Carpet, Awards Ceremony

After staying with Sisi all afternoon, Zhou Xia and the others took a special plane back home in the evening.

There are still eight days until the awards ceremony, Zhou Xia's time is too precious, so he won't wait here.

When I returned to China, I was mainly busy with the post-production of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and then there were promotions for the two films "Descendants of Yanhuang" and "The Price of Love".

After the Cannes Film Festival, "The Price of Love" will be released, and "Descendants of Yanhuang" is in the summer, and the time is very tight.

In addition, the final scripts of the other two new films "New Detective 2" and "Detective Chinatown 2" have been finalized, and pre-crew preparations and casting are also underway.

These are Zhou Xia's own work, and there are many things in other companies, he also has to spare time to be busy.

The last and most important thing is to go home and see the four babies.

Fortunately, the four little guys are still young, and they are all taken care of by Yaya, Xiaohu and the nanny, and there is not much to do.

Even so, the child will recognize the birth if he hasn't seen his father for a long time, which is naturally not what Zhou Xia wants to see.

He stayed in Shanghai for three days, then went to the capital for four days, dealt with related matters, and then returned to Cannes on May 5th.

There is a practice in the Cannes Film Festival. If a film has an award, the organizing committee will notify the crew in advance to stay or come back to receive the award when the award is presented.

But will not tell what award.

Zhou Xia received news from the Cannes Organizing Committee on the 18th, knowing that the film would win an award, so she returned to the film festival.

Of course, several other main creators also returned to the Cannes Film Festival.

Nearly ten days have passed, and now the Cannes show magazine "Screen Daily" has basically stabilized the ratings of the films every day without much change.

In the Cannes show magazine scores scored by the media, Zhou Xia's "The Price of Love" ranked first with 3.8 points, Hou Xiaoxian's "Assassin Nie Yinniang" ranked second with 3.5 points, Jia Zhangke's "Mountain and River Old Man" and Hungarian director Laszlo Jay Rice's "Son of Saul" tied for second with a score of 2.8.

The real award-winning gangster immigrant film in history, "The Wandering Pandey", scored only 2.7 points.

At least from the current media and audience ratings, Zhou Xia has more confidence in winning the highest Palme d'Or.

Seeing Yufei again after many days, both of them were very happy.

Yufei has been staying here for the past few days, watching movies or sunbathing every day when she has nothing to do, and finally waiting for Zhou Xia to come again, her whole body is filled with unconcealable happiness.

"One by one, there are three or four hours until the closing ceremony, are you excited?"

The two of them chatted while lying on the big bed in the hotel room after a farewell reunion.

"What's there to be excited about, anyway, I can win an award." Zhou Xia Guzuo said relaxedly.

Speaking of this, even if they are all awards at the Cannes Film Festival, there is still a big difference.

Generally speaking, the Jury Prize is the second most important award, only lower than the highest Palme d'Or.

But when it comes to winning the Cannes Film Festival award in China, many people only remember that "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Chen Kai won the Palme d'Or, and Ge You, Tony Leung's best actor, Zhang Manyu's best actress, King of Sunglasses, and Hou Xiaoxian won the Palme d'Or. best director.

But not many people mentioned that Lao Mouzi won the jury award.

In the eyes of many people, the award of this award is a bit vague, like an encouragement award, and they don't know what the specific award is, so they are not taken seriously.

After all, the best film is the Palme d'Or, and there are special awards for best director, best actor, and best screenwriter.

The jury award is naturally a bit embarrassing.

Although Zhou Xia didn't think so, she would rather win other awards better.

Hearing Zhou Xia's disagreement, Yu Fei smiled lightly and started to get up without saying anything.

She is also going to walk the red carpet at night. As one of the awards presenters, she has to get up to do styling and change dresses now.

Seeing that Yufei was up, Zhou Xia didn't delay anymore, and hurried to take a shower and change clothes, and went to meet the other main creators of the film crew.

Coming to the film crew again, Nicole and Jennifer had already done their styling in the private room of the hotel designated by the film festival, and they were all dressed up, ready for the red carpet show in the evening.

Seeing the sexy and bold outfits of the two, Zhou Xia couldn't help being a little speechless.

Unlike the opening ceremonies, both men clearly expressed their confidence in tonight's awards by dressing this way.

Nicole's blonde hair was tied up, and she was wearing a Giorgio Armani high-order white evening gown with a deep V tube top and a unique fishtail decoration on her chest. She looked sexy and charming, and she also looked much younger.

And Jennifer is wearing a black Dior couture tube top dress, which is also embroidered with a light golden palm leaf pattern, which looks sexy and elegant.

After Zhou Xia and the two stepped forward to hug gently, they met Roger and Peter again, and then sat down.

There was still an hour before the red carpet started, and several people began to talk about some things about the movie, and each heard some comments from their peers.

Through discussions among several people, Zhou Xia finally understood that Nicole and Jennifer's bold outfits were not only due to their confidence in the Best Actress award tonight, but also because they had heard the opinions of colleagues and friends who had watched the movie. Only with such high evaluation can we have such overwhelming confidence.

In particular, most of their friends and colleagues are from Hollywood. Hearing their good comments, Zhou Xia was also happy.

Speaking of it, he made this movie for selfish reasons, but first of all, he still needs to make a good work, so that he is responsible for himself and can finally achieve his goal.

If this work can really win next year's Oscars, wouldn't that make him even more happy?

Several people chatted for a while, and soon it was 05:30, and the group did not delay any longer.

At 05:30, the closing red carpet of the 68th Cannes International Film Festival began, and Zhou Xia and the others were still the opening guests of the red carpet.

After a group of people walked on the red carpet, they once again attracted crazy shouts from the media and fans on both sides of the red carpet.

But when they finished walking the red carpet, the atmosphere of the whole red carpet became a little cold.

Compared with the actresses from all walks of life at the opening ceremony "crashing the carpet for beauty", the closing red carpet seemed relatively deserted, and it really belonged to the movie, becoming a show for the crew of the competition film.

Domestically, only the crew of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", starring Shu Qi and Zhang Zhen, director Hou Xiaoxian, photographer Li Pingbin attended, and Zhou Yun, one of the leading actors, made a solo appearance as an award presenter.

Jia Kechang's "The Old Man in Mountains and Rivers", which was very popular before, obviously missed the final award, so the entire crew did not appear on the red carpet.

In addition, there are the crews of the other four films that were shortlisted for the final awards, as well as invited award presenters and performers.

Yufei was wearing a Chinese-style white pink floral Dior haute couture evening dress, which looked very delicate and beautiful.

The floral patterns on the dress are all embroidered by hand. The roses are elaborately made of silk, while the stems and leaves are embroidered with rose gold and silver sequins. It continues her fairy-like style in the past and is more gentle.
