This actor wants to pay more

Chapter 75 Best Actor Award (seeking monthly ticket)

Leonardo also wanted to learn more about Chinese culture. When the red carpet host called his name, he had to go there first.

When other artists come to the Cannes Film Festival, they either make a show of their heads or show off all kinds of coolness when they walk the red carpet.

Coming to him is like visiting the back garden of your own home.

With one hand in his pocket, he just went up, waved his hand towards the media, and he walked the [-]-meter red carpet in less than [-] seconds.

Compared with some people who can't move for ten minutes or half an hour, this speed is definitely very fast.

It disappeared so quickly that the host didn't even have time to react.

Fearing that he would slip away, the host hurried forward to ask: "Compared with the past, this year's film festival is bigger and more people participated. What do you think of this film festival?"

After pondering for a few seconds, Leonardo said: "I want to use a sentence of Chinese I just learned to express, this film festival, what the hell, awesome."

As soon as the words came out, while the foreign media were still thinking about the meaning of this sentence, the Chinese media had already raised their cameras and snapped.

While patting, he sighed: "Fuck, bully, who taught him this."

The host didn't understand this sentence in Chinese, and asked Leonardo what it meant, and the translation he got was very good, so he also said something awesome.

"Who is this buddy?"

On the edge of the red carpet, Ding Xiu grabbed the Chinese reporter who had just acted as an interpreter and asked.

Those who can appear on the red carpet are not ordinary people, he knows that.

At first, I thought that this foreigner who was as good-looking as him was just a small coffee, but judging from his leisurely walk on the red carpet and the sound of media shutters, he seemed to be underestimated.

"Leonardo DiCaprio." The reporter could tell from the conversation between the two that the kid in front of him was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. He had never seen the market before, and he didn't know anyone.

"He made his debut at the age of sixteen, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars and Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes at the age of nineteen."

"At the age of [-], he won the Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival and was nominated for the Best Actor at the Golden Globe Award in the same year."

"Amazing." Ding Xiu smacked his mouth and looked at Leonardo on the stage.

He doesn't know what the Golden Globes are, but he has heard of the Oscars and the Berlin Film Festival.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the first domestic movie Dingjunshan was released in [-].

In the past hundred years, no one in China has won the Berlin Best Actor.

Leonardo was able to win the best actor in Berlin at the age of [-]. This is no longer a big deal, it is a very good thing, and it is a dazzling achievement in the whole world.

What's more, he has the experience of being nominated for an Oscar. If it succeeds, wouldn't it be even more impressive.

"Boy, you'd better run." The reporter kindly reminded Ding Xiu: "After a while, people will realize the meaning of this sentence in Chinese, and I'm afraid they want to cut you off."

Speaking this sentence in Chinese in front of the global media, Leonardo is considered popular this time, and there will be overwhelming reports waiting for him.

I don't know if it's good or bad.

As the instigator, Ding Xiu couldn't get away with it.

Don't run now, wait until later.

Ding Xiu sneered: "What to run, he has to learn by himself, it's none of my business."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and got into the crowd, disappearing in a flash.

In the afternoon, across from the Shadow Palace, Ding Xiu and Xu Haofeng found a restaurant for dinner. While eating, Xu Haofeng smiled and said, "There's a news today, do you know?"

"There is a superstar named Leonardo. When he was walking on the red carpet, the host asked him what he thought of this film festival. In front of the global media, he said a shit, awesome."

"It's Chinese, Chinese."

"Hahaha, I laughed so hard, I don't know which idiot taught him, but now this buddy is already popular."

Talking about this matter, Xu Haofeng laughed out loud regardless of his appearance. Seeing Ding Xiu sitting opposite him with a serious face, his smile gradually froze.

According to what he knew about Ding Xiu, he was usually the first to laugh when he heard such jokes.

It's worth thinking about if you don't laugh.

Reminiscent of Ding Xiu's activities on the red carpet all the time today, he has a bad feeling.

"Brother Xiu, shouldn't it be..."

Ding Xiu nodded: "That's right, I'm that idiot you spoke of."

"I lost it!"

Having practiced martial arts and literature for many years, Xu Haofeng thought he had some qualities, but today he uttered a foul language for the first time.

He didn't expect that Leonardo's words came from Ding Xiu's mouth.

Thinking about it now, this fits Ding Xiu's personality very well.

"Ahem, brother Xiu, what, I didn't know it was you, but, hahaha, you are so awesome, you brought the essence of China to Cannes."

"If you win the award this time, you will also say something awesome on stage."

"This can be considered." Ding Xiu said seriously: "Our culture has to be spread by ourselves."

Picking up a glass of drink, Xu Haofeng said, "[-] years of culture depends on you, cheers!"

……

The red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival is held twice a day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening.

It was after ten o'clock in the evening.

Ding Xiu came over to take a look and then went back to sleep.

The light is not good at night, and those bold see-through skirts are useless in the clubhouse style.

It’s boring to see everything is pitch black.

The Cannes Film Festival has a total of [-] days including the opening and closing. During these [-] days, the jury selects the award-winning films.

So we can only wait and play.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ding Xiu came to the red carpet on time to see the beauties, and occasionally went to other theaters to see the master's entries.

He mostly watched art films.

I watched a lot of European, American, Japanese and Korean ones.

If it wasn't for the international film festival, most of these films couldn't be screened in China, and the style of painting was very bold.

Anyway, Ding Xiu is watching it as a pornographic film.

What's better than porn is that the heroines in these films are all beautiful.

Pure, charming, coquettish, all kinds of things.

This trip was worthwhile, it really opened his eyes and gained a lot of knowledge.

Compared with Ding Xiu's leisurely mood, Xu Haofeng is much busier, squatting at the entrances of major theaters every day.

Send business cards to everyone.

After a week, the business cards were printed step by step.

The trash cans outside the theater are almost full.

Seeing that the film festival is coming to an end, with the announcement of awards one by one, some are happy and some are sad.

Xu Haofeng also started to act badly, and went to the red carpet every day to see beauties.

On the ninth day, the Organizing Committee announced the shortlist of a kind of concern unit.

The dead martial arts are on the list.

The shortlisted award is a concern for best actor award.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Looking at the list announced by the organizing committee, Xu Haofeng was dumbfounded, and a series of shit spit out from his mouth.

Ding Xiu frowned and said, "Calm down, I feel ashamed to be filmed by the media."

Grasping Ding Xiu's arms, Xu Haofeng said excitedly, "I'm shortlisted, I'm shortlisted."

Pulling his hand away, Ding Xiu said: "I have eyes, I can see, and I can see that there are more than [-] films for the best actor award alone."

There are more than [-] shortlisted for the Best Actor Award, and Ding Xiu doesn't think his chances of winning the award are high.

This trip is to travel and see girls.

"It's not bad to be shortlisted, I'm satisfied." Xu Haofeng took a few deep breaths: "Now the film can be sold."

He also knows that it is not easy to win an award, but being shortlisted shows that the quality is still good, at least some producers are willing to buy its films.

This is enough!

In the afternoon, at five o'clock, Ding Xiu and Xu Haofeng came to the theater where the award for a unit of attention was presented in suits and leather shoes.

This hall is not a bit smaller than the halls of the main competition unit and the jury awards.

Fortunately, there are all necessary procedures, such as walking the red carpet.

With his chest up and his head raised, Ding Xiu walked over in a big stride, waving at the media, and the sound of camera shutters came and went.

It's no wonder so many people want to be a star. It's really cool to feel that the world is centered on me.

A real man should be like this.

Sixty seconds later, Real Men ends.

The host told Ding Xiu to leave quickly, while the people behind were waiting.

Finding his own seat, Ding Xiu sat down, crossed his legs, took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, and put the shells of the melon seeds in the other pocket.

He just came here to make soy sauce, just for a walk.

Not long after, amidst the host's incomprehensible chirping, the award ceremony officially began

Every time a person went up, Ding Xiu applauded once.

Every winner has to say a bunch of long acceptance speeches, which made him drowsy.

He didn't know how long it had passed, but he heard his name in a trance.

"I'm calling you." Xu Haofeng gave Ding Xiu a push.

"No way." Ding Xiu said doubtfully, "The host's name is Ding Xiu."

Seeing that no one was on stage, the host called again.

This time Ding Xiu heard clearly, and said, "Listen, it's Ding Xiu."

"I listen to your uncle, it's normal for foreigners to speak poor Mandarin, and their pronunciation is inaccurate." Xu Haofeng said anxiously: "You are so busy listening to Ding Xiu, you didn't hear the dead martial arts in front of you, right?"

"He speaks English, how can I understand it."

"That's the lost Wulin English translator, hurry up, I'll kneel down for you."

When Xu Haofeng said so, he must have won the prize. Ding Xiu got up and patted the melon seeds on his trouser legs, and strode up.

After receiving the trophy from the award presenter, Ding Xiu stood on the stage facing countless flashing lights, not knowing what to say.

His English is not good, and the most familiar word is chicken vomit brother, Gu De.

I didn't expect to win the award in advance, and there was no acceptance speech.

But standing there without saying a word was nothing to worry about, Ding Xiu remembered what Xu Haofeng said in the restaurant a few days ago.

So, holding the trophy high, he faced the microphone and shouted in Xu Haofeng's direction.

"Director Xu, awesome!"

Countless eyes gathered, Xu Haofeng's face was hot, he quickly pretended to tie his shoelaces, and bent over and squatted under the seat.

After finishing the "Award Acceptance Speech", Ding Xiu stepped down, returned to his place, and handed the trophy to Xu Haofeng: "Old Xu, let me touch it."

"Don't make trouble, there are so many people watching." After taking the trophy, Xu Haofeng said: "I just keep it for you."

"After the awards ceremony is over, you can call Qin Gang and tell him the good news."

"No need, international calls are quite expensive." Ding Xiu said.

"Let's call. Hearing the news, I think he is willing to chat with you for a day."

The first film in my life won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival. I have to say that luck is really good.

Half an hour later, when he walked out of the theater, Ding Xiu called Qin Gang.

"what!"

"Can you say that again?"

At twelve o'clock in the evening Beijing time, in a private room of a certain restaurant, Qin Gang was having dinner with a director when he suddenly received a call from Ding Xiu.

"The Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, what the fuck, are you an actor?"

Outside the arena, Ding Xiu was talking on the phone while tossing the trophy up and dropping it into his hand again, enjoying it endlessly, Xu Haofeng was terrified watching him, fearing that he would accidentally break it.

"We are shortlisted for a focus unit, and the best actor is not the best actor, but the best actor in the main competition unit is the best actor."

After coming for so many days, Ding Xiu listened to Xu Haofeng popular science several times.

At the Cannes Film Festival, the most eye-catching is the main competition unit where masters gather. The highest award is the Palme d'Or, which is awarded to films, similar to the best films in China.

This is followed by the Jury Prize, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay and more.

It is in this unit that the best actor and best actress compete.

Like a kind of concern, short film competition, film cornerstone unit, golden camera and so on are relatively late.

A kind of attention unit mainly faces new directors and actors, and encourages them to have innovative spirit.

There are seven unit awards, and the highest award is a kind of attention award, which is awarded to the film.

The second is to focus on the jury award, one on the best director, one on the best actor, and one on the best screenplay award...

The Best Actor Award that Ding Xiu won is a few words different from the Best Actor Award in the main competition unit, but the meaning is very different, and the gold content is also.

"That's not bad, anyway, I won the prize." Qin Gang laughed loudly and said, "You can just play there these few days, come back and ask me for reimbursement."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Gang said to the director at the wine table: "What did you just say, the male number two is paid [-] yuan, and I will give you a kickback of [-] yuan, and I want our company's female artists to sleep with you."

"I'm qnmlgb, and I don't take a pee to see if I'm worthy..."

Two days later.

On the plane from Paris to Peking.

Just as Ding Xiu sat down, coincidentally, the next door was Shu Qi again.

Shu Qi is here to participate in the Cannes Film Festival, he already knows this, and he also knows that she wants to compete for the best actress, that is, the Cannes Best Actress.

Unfortunately, the grain failed.

"Old Xu, have you seen my kind of attention for the best actor award?"

"Isn't it in the bag?"

"Really, I don't even remember."

Ding Xiu and Xu Haofeng spoke in a loud voice, but Shu Qi could hear it clearly, knowing that this kid was "revenging" herself, she simply turned her face away.

"Old Xu, how did you say you won the award? It's my first time making a movie."

Xu Haofeng said seriously: "You are very talented, plus the role fit is very good, as well as my careful guidance, won't it be a matter of course to win the award."

"Am I really talented? I have only been in the industry for less than a year."

"Naturally, this stuff doesn't depend on time but on talent. For example, at the Golden Horse Awards just past, Liu Ye won Best Actor for his movie Lan Yu. He's only two years older than you, and he just graduated from university."

"Really, then I have to work hard, otherwise it will be embarrassing to go back empty-handed next time I come to Cannes."

Shu Qi took out the Walkman, plugged his ears, put his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
