My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 479 Acceptance Speech Martial Arts Invitation and Hermes Whip

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
"Thank you~"

With a slight smile on the corner of Wu Xiaozu's mouth, he took the Palme d'Or trophy from Ajani, the North Korean goddess of cold-faced killer temperament.

"Congratulations John Woo, I like the movie "The Suspect" very, very much. It is beautiful and cruel and heartbreaking. This is the most beautiful description of love, bar none."

Adjani, who was cold and lonely, suddenly smiled, and it bloomed instantly.Appreciation glowed in the clear blue eyes, two sapphires, one glowing with sea water and the other containing the sky.

Sophie, the rose of flowers; Eva, the iris of flowers.Ajani, the chrysanthemum!

Roses and irises dance lightly, bewitching the world, the love between the two is suitable for everyone!Alas!The love of chrysanthemum, who is the same giver?
Under the soil of France, after Sophie Marceau, the cult Eva Green inherits the mantle, but after Isabella Adjani, who is it?
"Love is a test of going through all kinds of hardships. Some people get mediocre results, while others are smashed to pieces. The consequences are unknown. You can choose as you like. You can choose square or vigorous. I wish you good luck forever, Miss Adjani."

Wu Xiaozu smiled sincerely, and just as he finished speaking, he saw Adjani take the initiative to touch her face. To be honest, he kept a respectful distance from this troublemaker, but he didn't expect that the other party was quite 'normal'. . . .

Adjani, a top artist in literary and artistic style, looked at the handsome, black-haired man in front of him with a startled expression, but laughed instead.

deep well ice~
Wu Xiaozu doesn't like to provoke this kind of crazy acting woman, she is prone to accidents. . .This kind of crazy woman is the kind of emotional bastard.

The audience continued to applaud, Wu Xiaozu represented the third world country to win the award, which is in line with the thoughts of many film critics.

"Thank you~" Wu Xiaozu switched to Mandarin.

Cannes is a film festival that advocates film creators to create in their mother tongue.He has also been committed to fighting against English as the only lingua franca in movies.

Even the guidelines and catalog of the entire film festival are in French, and every judge, award presenter and winner will also be accustomed to speaking in their mother tongue.

Of course, later generations of Cannes and European films still bowed to English films. There is no way, the mother tongue of European directors hinders their winning potential in the two largest film markets of the United States and Britain.In order to develop, we can only abandon our mother tongue.

The market determines the development of the film.

Therefore, the development of the mainland entertainment industry really has unlimited potential.how to lick~
"It's really heavy."

Holding the trophy in his hand, Wu Xiaozu looked sincere and showed a confident smile.

"When Mr. Chairman announced that "The Suspect" won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, my partner and I couldn't believe it. Now—" Looking back at the trophy, "I just confirmed that I really won this A heavy trophy.

I would like to thank the Cannes Film Festival, Mr. Chairman, and even the judges for awarding this honor to me and to "Suspect".

Chinese-language films are old friends of Cannes, and it has been 30 years since I first came here.After generations of filmmakers, we are finally on stage with the Palme d'Or!
This award does not belong to me alone, it belongs to all Chinese filmmakers who are fighting for it!Thanks to everyone in my crew, and thanks to the efforts of the seniors. "

Wu Xiaozu paused, and the whole audience gathered on him.

At this moment, at least a million people are watching the live broadcast.

"I am very happy that I can stand here on behalf of Chinese-speaking filmmakers. Here, we abandon all barriers and gather together for the sake of art.

Movies allow us to transcend reality. It is the starting point, the journey, the destination, and even dreams and hopes.

The tolerance of Cannes allows us to show our strengths.

It does not shy away from humanity, politics, violence, or breaking the rules.It has wireless possibilities and unlimited tolerance!

This is the nature of cinema, and it is the nature of Cannes.I think this is also the goal that all of us Chinese filmmakers pursue.

I believe in a saying: the more national, the more global.

Today, I did it!I believe I'm just the beginning of Chinese movies!It's not the end of him.At the same time, I also wish all filmmakers good luck!

Thanks!Three grams of oil! "

Wu Xiaozu's words were transmitted to everyone's ears through translation, and most of them could more or less understand English.

Whoa!
The audience applauded, and the mainland filmmakers in the front row applauded the most excitedly.Wu Xiaozu is advocating the concept of "Chinese-language movies" both in and out of his words. In the eyes of political officials, this concept is tantamount to political correctness.

There are many mainland official representatives in this film festival, and Wu Xiaozu undoubtedly expressed his attitude.

It is definitely something that the mainland loves to see such an idea from a big director with unlimited box office appeal on Hong Kong Island.In particular, Wu Xiaozu is the first Chinese-language filmmaker to win the Cannes Palme d'Or.

In comparison, the influence of the Palme d'Or is undoubtedly wider than that of the Golden Bear.

Besides, Wu Xiaozu's identity also gives him an advantage over the little schemer!The staff of the United Front Work Department and the Ministry of Culture can feel Wu Xiaozu, an overseas Chinese from Hong Kong and Macao, who loves his motherland.

That's enough!
Foreigners listened to the translated remarks and didn't think there was anything wrong.After all, what the other party said did not involve political inclinations.Even if there is, it doesn't matter, what everyone cares about is profit.

The organizers of Cannes were also very satisfied, Mr. Jacob secretly nodded below, the more he looked at Xiaozu Wu, the happier he was.

As expected of a direct descendant that I single-handedly promoted, this is the licking dog that Cannes needs... Ahem, Cannes needs to spend resources to cultivate film masters.

It is foreseeable that the major film magazines and newspapers that are close to Cannes will gradually start to build momentum for Wu Xiaozu at the beginning of routine procedures.

There are also close friends of the Berlin Film Festival below. Listening to Wu Xiaozu's testimonials, they murmured in their hearts: He is also a film director, why can't that Zhang Yimou not speak!Look at others, this is what they say, the tofu is cut with a knife, and both sides are smooth.

There's no way, Director Zhang is an artist, he needs face. . . .

Since Wu Xiaogou stepped into this circle, he didn't show his face.

Adjani, Wu Xiaozu, and Claude Berry stood side by side and took photos with the media reporters below.

Click!

History remembers this moment!
After stepping off the stage, Xiaozu Wu walked into the backstage. Countless reporters and paparazzi waited for a long time and fired their cannons together.

He began to deal with the media.

……

At this time, Cannes happened to be around 23 pm on the 10rd, and Hong Kong Island was about 6 or 7 hours faster than Cannes.

Hong Kong Island at this time happens to be 5 or 24 am on May 4.Many newspaper offices have prepared two pages, waiting for news from Cannes at any time.

"Daily Daily" headquarters.

"Dinglingling~" The international phone on the desk rang.

"Hey!"

Xing Yifu, editor-in-chief of the daily, picked up the phone immediately without waiting for it to continue ringing.

"The Suspect won the Palme d'Or in Cannes!!!! The boss won the Palme d'Or! We won! We won the Palme d'Or!"

The voice on the phone was noisy, and I could hear countless chaotic voices in French and English, but I could only hear the repeated yelling on the phone.

"Are there any photos of the scene?"

Regardless of wiping off his sweat, Xing Yifu hurriedly asked, "Hurry up and send it by fax!"

After hanging up the phone, the red-faced Xing Yifu raised his head, just in time to see the expectant crowd, and waved his hand excitedly, "The boss won the Palme d'Or for the best film in Cannes!"

"┗|｀O'|┛哦~~" The editors howled with excitement.

"Boss!" Many employees slapped the table and shouted.

"Sharp!"

"Ahhh!"

"Put the boss's exclusive interview on the front page, and wait for the photos to come! Today, brothers, our chance has come! We will punch the "Dongfang Daily" and kick the "Ming Pao"! Whether they have news or not Source, we are definitely the most scoop!!!
Print the full page for me to create momentum for the boss! "

The white and fat Xing Yifu waved his hand, "Brothers, the time has come for the party and the country to need us. Done, I will give credit to the brothers!!! This time, we will let the boss see our hard work!!!! "

Wu Xiaozu had already recorded an exclusive interview with his newspaper before leaving, and at the same time, he has been sending some things back to Hong Kong Island through faxes and international calls in the past few days. In terms of news exclusivity, no one can compare with "Daily Daily" !
At the same time, many well-informed bigwigs in the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island also learned the news from various sources.

Countless people immediately began to adjust their attitudes towards Wu Xiaozu and the work of the 1024 Locomotive film.

This is no exaggeration at all.

In our era of information explosion, it is hard to imagine the tsunami-like huge influence of that kind of honor at that time.

When Wang Jiawei won the award, he was directly dumped by Hong Kong Island newspapers, and his status skyrocketed to [-] miles.

It was already 97 years at that time.It was only 1988 at this time, and Wu Xiaozu's influence was even greater!It is really the feeling of being full of brushes in an instant!
With this award, and his achievements in the film industry, Wu Xiaozu can get the title of a Justice of the Peace!

The British Hong Kong government is happy to see this situation.

This news spread very quickly throughout Asia. Media from Japan, Korea, Wanwan, and the mainland were in Cannes, and they all got the news immediately.

After repeated verification, many people were also extremely excited.

In any case, this is also the honor of Asia.

Kowloon, Dragon City Ice Room.

"Contact me with various media, we spend money to buy space!"

Fei Cheng smiled brightly, and he was so proud, "According to the boss's order, not only the Chinese newspapers, but also the English newspapers that the big shots read. Today and tomorrow, many newspapers on Hong Kong Island will definitely win the awards news.

We need to keep this hot!And take the opportunity to promote our company and increase social influence! "

At the same time, companies related to Wu Xiaozu also have their own actions.

Back then, when Wu Xiaozu won the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, it became a hot topic among the people, and it was widely publicized for several days, let alone this time?
Many people who originally had some thoughts also quickly adjusted their plans.

Everyone knows that at this time, Wu Xiaozu is definitely the light of Hong Kong!

Whoever confronts the tough will die miserably!
At this time, Wu Xiaozu's influence was at the Asian level.

-

The awards ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival ended, and the organizer also booked a banquet hall in a nearby hotel to hold a celebration party.

"Long live!!!"

Everyone in the crew of "The Suspect" clinked glasses together, and the champagne splashed, everyone was extremely excited.

"hey-hey--"

Gu Changwei was holding the Palme d'Or trophy box, beaming with joy, and kept touching it.

"I didn't expect to see a Chinese-language film win the Palme d'Or in my lifetime!" Li Hanxiang blushed and sighed, "Death is without regret!"

"Director Li, you still have a chance."

Wu Tianming complimented, also with a smile on his face, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the scene not far away, his heart was full of emotion.

Wu Xiaozu, Zhong (Zhóng)!
He is a person who does practical things, not bad, he is really fierce and popular, and he will do what he says!
I once said that we would use mainland actors, and you see, we did what we said! ! !It's exciting when people like this work together!
On the sofa in the corner, Wu Xiaozu sat in front of Brother Chen Kai and Gong Li with a cigar in his mouth.

"Miss Gong Li, I have talked with Director Chen and Tianming before, I intend to shoot a martial arts film. You are a character that fits my expectations. I don't know, is Miss Gong Li interested?" Wu Xiaozu smiled very much affinity.

With the prestige of the Cannes Palme d'Or, for the Chinese-language film industry, it can be said that director Wu farts all the time, not to mention that he took the initiative to lower his posture and invite people.

"Director Wu is too polite." Gong Huang showed his trademark smile very generously, "I don't know what kind of story it is?"

"Based on "Dragon Inn" directed by Hu Jinquan." Chen Kai said beside him.

"That's right, a story about the desert frontier in the Ming Dynasty."

Wu Xiaozu smiled lightly, "But it's different from Uncle Quan's. I quite like the history of the Civil Fortress Change. I may edit and adapt this history."

Treacherous ministers, factory officials, chivalrous men, Wala, Baohuang, Xinhuang... It can be said that the Yingzong is not a hero at all, and loyal officials are hard to be loyal.

This history is very interesting.

The forces are entangled, the temples and the rivers and lakes are intertwined, and the forces of all parties can't tell which is good and which is bad, all of which are interests!
"This…"

Gong Li was quite moved, but only a little worried, and said, "I have never participated in this type of movie, I'm afraid it will be difficult to adjust well... Besides, this movie seems too commercial..."

"The most important thing for an actor is to have ambition, which can also be called ambition. You can't keep yourself in a certain type. You have to go out of your comfort zone and constantly challenge yourself.

For a real actor, it should not be limited to business and literature.You need to walk in two ways and constantly improve yourself.

If you don't even have that ambition, you'll never progress.

what do you say? "

Wu Xiaozu looked at Gong Li indifferently, the most ambitious and ambitious actress in China, as long as her heart was aroused, she would not be fooled... Cough, cough, not to take over.

"Thank you, Director Wu." Gong Li gave Wu Xiaozu a grateful look.She really couldn't turn down such an opportunity.

Especially Wu Xiaozu's words really touched her heart.

Without ambition, she would not have achieved such brilliant achievements.An actor is ambitious, not a derogatory term.

"You're welcome."

Since it was a co-production, Gong Li was undoubtedly the best choice.Gong Li is a piece of jade in the rough, and it also has a western edge.

Compared with other mainland actors, she will undoubtedly be more famous internationally.One "Red Sorghum" made her famous in Europe.

With her joining, the film distribution will be much smoother.

Benefits were originally his only criterion for judging actors.

...

"Hello, Mr. Woo, this is a gift from a lady." Just at this moment, a waiter came over holding a rectangular exquisite gift box.

"Thank you."

Wu Xiaozu is not surprised, this French rose flower is long-sleeved and good at dancing.After he won the award, many people took the opportunity to give some souvenirs.

There are small gifts such as champagne, bouquets, and wine openers. The French like this tune.

"what?"

Glancing at the items in the gift box, Xiaozu Wu was taken aback, picked up the card, and saw the elegant 'English', knowing that Xiaozu Wu couldn't understand French.

"wish:

Mr. John Woo is always lucky, may you fly above the vast palace of movies.

TO: Your French friend. "

Inside the box is a delicate horsewhip from Hermès~ This gift... is inexplicably and a little eager to try. . . . .

However, it is not illegal for the French to give whips. France is a big country in the horse industry, with 100 million horses. The horse racing industry is extremely diverse, and equestrian competitions are well-known.

Hermès' harnesses are also well-known all over the world. This brand started out as a saddle and harness... Just look at its four-wheeled carriage and stable boy.

"Is this crazy?"

Old Chen picked up a horsewhip and gestured like a turtle, "I graduated from junior high school in 69. When I went to the XSBN Jinghong Land Reclamation Bureau from the imperial capital to work as a worker, I rode a horse. This is like a horsewhip. I also rode a horse when I was a soldier. You Not to mention, the quality of this horsewhip is really good..."

really interesting?If the whip does not whip the horse, can it still whip people?
Wu Xiaozu smiled subconsciously, turned his head, just in time to see the back of Gong Li leaving. . . .

cough~
He chatted with a few people about going north to make a film, and he heard from Gong Li that Xiao Mouzi was happily planning to make a city-themed work.

Wu Xiaozu really didn't know what city-themed movie Xiao Mouzi had made. In his memory, "Speak Well" can be regarded as a work in the urban-rural fringe area, but the time must be wrong.

Under the appearance of a farmer, Xiaomouzi has always had a heart to go to the city.

This time should be regarded as Zhang Yimou's most confused time.

Gong Li smiled sweetly when talking about Zhang Yimou.Needless to say, Gong Li must have participated in this so-called urban movie.

I really don't have any impression, so Wu Xiaozu didn't think about it.He remembers the movies of Xiao Mouzi very clearly, but the other party is so popular now, it's hard to miss it.

On the contrary, Brother Chen Kai is more suitable than him.

The banquet was held in the middle of the night, Wu Xiaozu took Gao Lihong back to the hotel, and also took Hermes' small whip.

The night was long, and he was going to discuss the workmanship of this luxury item with Shaking M.

Needless to say, the big brand is worthy of being a big brand, it is really strong, really loud, and really crisp!

High pitch is sweet, middle pitch is accurate, and bass is deep.

The French friend who gave him a horsewhip is a bit aristocratic!
There are also many racecourses on Hong Kong Island, so you can try it yourself.

Riding horses and playing golf, these things are also items that Wu Xiaozu needs to learn.

　Thanks to the dog of the North Country for the great reward, and thank you brothers for your reward!thanks for your support!
