Chapter 209 207. Give Cheng a hat
Chen Li'an got up when the sky was getting dark in the early morning. He had to rush to Paris today and also to transfer to Shanghai, which was very troublesome.

Nanjing's international airport is still under construction, and now we can only go to Shanghai for a transit.

However, the distance from Nanjing to Shanghai is not far, so it is not that troublesome.

Chen Li'an got up from the bed and was brushing his teeth in the bathroom when he heard someone knock on the door.

Li Dabai should be so early, but Chen Li'an was surprised. Li Dabai got up very early this time, but when he opened the door, he found Yasuko Tomita standing outside.

Chen Li'an looked at the energetic Yasuko Tomita, wiped the toothpaste froth from the corner of his mouth and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yasuko Tomita snorted, tilted his head and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Did you forget? I made an appointment last night, and I'll see you off."

"Sorry, sorry." Chen Li'an remembered what happened last night, and immediately gave up his seat and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, I forgot."

Yasuko Tomita smiled sweetly, then leaned forward and walked in, curious about Chen Li'an's room in her heart, when she saw Chen Li'an's clothes hanging in the closet, she took the initiative to walk over, turned her head and said to Chen Li'an: "Let me help you pack your luggage, just like Jin Hua folded clothes for Okazawa."

"Okay, I'll trouble you then." Chen Li'an didn't refuse, Yasuko Tomita was just using himself to find a character status.

Chen Li'an continued to wash up, and while washing his face, he heard Li Dabai's voice from outside.

"Miss Tomita, why are you here? You couldn't last night"

Hearing Li Dabai's words, although Chen Li'an knew that Yasuko Tomita didn't understand, he stepped out and interrupted her and said, "Yasuko Tomita came to see me off, and experience the state of the character in advance, so don't make a fuss."

"Understood, Teacher Chen, but it wouldn't be good to ask her to pack your luggage for you, right?" Li Dabai felt that his job had been robbed.

Chen Li'an wiped his face with a towel in his hand, looked at Yasuko Tomita who had neatly folded his clothes, pouted his lips at Li Dabai and said, "Learn a bit, see how he folds his clothes, and then look at you , forget about being stupid."

"I'm only 20 years old," Li Dabai protested softly.

"You should study at a young age." Chen Li'an grabbed Li Dabai's shoulders and pushed him in front of Yasuko Tomita and said, "Look hard and study hard. When I come back from Paris, I will check your study results."

"You really don't want me to follow this time?" Li Dabai turned to look at Chen Li'an and asked.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said: "No, you take the creative material back, find the advertising company from last time to do post-production, then send it to CCTV to replace the original advertisement, and then fly directly to Huangshan."

"Okay, promise to complete the mission!"

After more than ten minutes, Chen Li'an looked at the neatly stacked clothes in the box and couldn't help nodding. Japanese women are indeed very skilled in this area.

Why do I always think of housewives? I really miss those teachers, they are still little girls now.

At the entrance of the hotel, Li Dabai watched Yasuko Tomita and Chen Li'an get into the taxi arm in arm, and he couldn't help but sighed. His assistant was just abandoned by the boss.

At the gate of Nanjing Airport, Chen Li'an took the suitcase out of the trunk, looked at Yasuko Tomita and said, "Jingzi, I'm leaving, you wait for me to come back at Huangshan."

Yasuko Tomita blinked at Chen Li'an, then his eyes turned red slightly, and he nodded slightly.

The little girl was quite into the show, and Chen Li'an also walked over cooperatively and hugged her gently, rubbed her head, then picked up the box and left without looking back.

This is how Okazawa in the script goes, let Yasuko Tomita experience it.

Yasuko Tomita looked at the back of Chen Li'an striding away, couldn't help but followed two steps forward, and finally stood there silently for a long time.

The brother driver who had been waiting for the return trip by the side of the road, seeing Yasuko Tomita like this, couldn't help but said, "Little girl, everyone is leaving, and I didn't look back. I can see that I don't like you. Go back and eat a bowl of noodles." Get a good night's sleep and forget about it."

Yasuko Tomita came back to her senses from the words of the driver brother, but she didn't understand, she just smiled and bowed to the driver brother, then opened the door and got in the car.

The driver brother couldn't help muttering: "It's so polite."

After a troublesome connecting flight and a long flight, Chen Li'an finally landed in Paris after more than ten hours.

After getting off the plane, Chen Li'an immediately rushed to Cannes. It was already noon in Paris, and when he arrived in Cannes, he simply packed up and attended the closing ceremony at night.

A few hours later, Chen Li'an changed into his suit, looked at his tired self in the mirror, and felt that he had entered the state early.

It was an appropriate look after losing out at the awards ceremony tonight.

Gong Li also changed her clothes at this time, looked at Chen Li'an's tall and straight back and said, "Did you hear any news when you returned to China this time?"

"Which aspect?" Chen Li'an turned around and asked.

Gong Li tidied up her skirt and said, "Of course it's about the movie. Didn't the domestic media scold along with it?"

Chen Li'an nodded and said: "Yes, but very few, but many people in the circle are scolding, I received a call from Mr. Li Keji, and he said that many people in the theater circle scolded after hearing the story of Fengyue. "

Gong Li froze for a moment, then said strangely: "What are they scolding?"

Chen Li'an shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, maybe the masters in the drama world don't like the story of Fengyue, and the plot of the little white face seducing a woman is not literary at all in their opinion."

Gong Li couldn't help laughing, she glanced at Chen Li'an and said: "Isn't there still a young lady who seduces servants, and servants rape the young lady?"

"So, it's not normal for people to look down on you." Chen Li'an felt that there were actually a lot of misunderstandings, at least not as bad as they thought.

It's a pity that they can't see the original film, this misunderstanding can only continue to be misunderstood.

Thinking of this, Chen Li'an suddenly remembered the comment of Ye Zhaoyan, the original author of the movie, in the newspaper, saying that he was very grateful to Director Cheng for not signing himself in the movie, and even called Fengyue a bad movie.

Tsk tsk, this movie is really ill-fated. In the end, it can't be released in China. The audience who can't see the original movie can only believe the one-sided words in the newspaper.

In Director Cheng's room, he hung up the phone and sat on the chair and couldn't help sighing. Why did so many things happen when he made a movie by himself, and now even the release is a problem.

I didn't even have a chance to prove myself to the audience, the review missed me!
If it can be a cold night, maybe things will turn around, but is there such a possibility?
Director Cheng couldn't help fantasizing for a while, and was awakened by the knock on the door after a long time.

Standing outside the door were Chen Li'an and the others. They had lost the enthusiasm they had at the opening ceremony. The previous premiere was like a notice of critical illness, and now they are finally about to be extubated.

Everyone felt a little lost. After working with Director Cheng for so long, they just wanted to get an award, but now they can only become escorts.

Soon the door was opened, and Dao Cheng walked out from inside full of energy and fighting spirit, seeming very confident.

This is what Chen Lian admires most about Dao Cheng. He is really able to hold on, and he can still look confident after all this.

After everyone arrived, several people went downstairs together. Downstairs in the hotel, Chen Li'an saw Sophie Marceau in the lobby, talked to Gong Li and went there.

Looking at Chen Li'an's back, Zhang Guorong couldn't help pulling down his sunglasses, turned to look at Gong Li and asked, "You're already like this, he still doesn't plan to stop?"

Gong Li subconsciously touched her belly which was covered by clothes, looked at Zhang Guorong and said, "Brother, if I were with Chen Li'an, would you bless me?"

"Yes. But I will beat Chen Li'an first!" Zhang Guorong pushed up his sunglasses, looked at Chen Li'an's back and said, "It's just that I don't think he's ever thought of getting married."

Gong Li smiled and said, "Actually, I haven't thought about it either."

Zhang Guorong froze for a moment, then turned to look at Gong Li, only to find that she had already caught up with Cheng Dao and the others.Zhang Guorong stood there and couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his eyebrows, feeling as if he just met Gong Li today.

Chen Li'an on the other side looked at Sophie Marceau who called him over and asked, "What did you call me over?"

Sophie Marceau turned her head and looked around, then took Chen Li'an's hand and said in a low voice: "All the awards of Fengyue have been lost."

Chen Li'an froze for a moment, looked at Sophie Marceau and asked in a low voice: "How do you know? Don't the jury keep secrets?"

"Of course it's kept secret, but the fact that Fengyue didn't win an award is not worth keeping secret. I asked about it." Sophie Marceau grabbed Chen Li'an's hand and said: "The closing ceremony tonight may not go well, don't be affected force."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "I know it well, don't worry."

"Well, wait for me after the closing ceremony."

"it is good."

The closing ceremony in the evening is the busiest time of the entire film festival. The closing ceremony is also the awards ceremony, and the highlight is all tonight.

The red carpet part of the closing ceremony was much more grand than the opening ceremony. Even the reporters turned up several times, and the red carpet was surrounded by dense crowds of people.

As soon as Chen Li'an and the others got out of the car, they were instantly overwhelmed by the flashing lights. The dazzling flashing lights kept flashing as if they had never been interrupted. Chen Li'an felt that his eyes were going blind.

Turning to look at Gong Li and Zhang Guorong, I found that their faces were calm, and they were not affected by the flash light at all. This is all practiced.

Cheng Dao seemed to be used to this kind of scene, he quickly got used to it by squinting his eyes slightly.

This time the red carpet was not as smooth as the previous one. Under countless questions and flashing lights, Director Cheng finally came to the end of the red carpet with a stiff smile, but the host of the film festival did not seem to let him go easily plan.

The host stopped Director Cheng who wanted to enter the venue, and asked politely, "Director Cheng has made a lot of negative comments about Fengyue these days, are you confident about winning the award?"

There is a hammer!If Director Cheng had a hammer in his hand, he would definitely beat the host to death with one.

Although the director is a cultural person, he still maintained his demeanor and said: "No matter what others say, I always think Fengyue is a very good movie. As for the award, it depends on the jury."

"Then do you think those criticisms are malicious?"

"Everyone has a different opinion, it's their freedom!"

Director Cheng's patience was about to run out. After saying this sentence, he didn't give the host a chance to continue talking, and walked directly into the venue.

Chen Li'an and the others looked at each other and followed. Fortunately, it was the host of the film festival who asked the question, so he was quite reasonable. If those reporters wanted to make a joke, they would probably be able to ask any ugly words. It really broke the defense.

The closing ceremony began soon. The awards announced at the beginning were all small awards. The people in the venue didn't care much about it. However, the director was a little nervous, especially when it was the Catholic Humanitarian Award and the Technology Award. Hear the word Fengyue.

There is no hope for the Palme d'Or and the Jury Prize. If you can win a small prize, it will be a bit of consolation, at least it can stop some people's mouths.

It's a pity that these two small awards have nothing to do with Fengyue, Cheng Dao sat up slightly, his body hunched, and then pinned his hopes on the actor award.

It would be a consolation if he could win an actor award, but it would be fine to give him a special award from the jury if he couldn't do it.

Don't miss it all!Director Cheng prayed silently in his heart.

Soon it was the turn of the Best Actress Award. Compared with Director Cheng's nervousness, Gong Li didn't seem to care so much, and looked at the guests on stage with an extremely calm expression.

Chen Li'an turned his head to look at the calm Gong Li, then looked down at his tightly grasped hand, then lightly held Gong Li's hand back to give her some comfort.

After the lottery guests on the stage lingered for a long time, they finally announced the winner of the Best Actress.

"The winner of the best actress award this time is "Secrets and Lies" Brenda Bryson!"

The moment the answer was revealed, Chen Li'an felt that Gong Li breathed a sigh of relief, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he was relieved soon, and he was already mentally prepared, and now he is not so disappointed.

However, the process director couldn't help but sighed, feeling that he might really have to go home bald.

There is probably no hope for the best actor. Director Cheng leaned back in his chair and completely gave up his extravagant hopes. He just waited for the awards to end and then returned home immediately.

He desperately needs comfort now!

If Chen Li'an hadn't appeared in this world, after the defeat in Cannes this time, Director Cheng would have flown to Canada to propose and get married.

It's a pity that Chen Li'an came, and Cheng Dao could only go back to the capital to find Sister Ni and beg for a hug.

The next few major awards have nothing to do with Fengyue, the only connection is that she ran with her and became someone else's green leaf.

Chen Li'an looked at Director Cheng's no longer tall and straight figure, and couldn't help sighing. He always felt a little sorry for him, so he should send a hat to Director Cheng after the award ceremony, so as not to be told that he had his head shaved when he came to Cannes.

After the closing ceremony, Director Cheng sat on the chair in silence for 2 minutes before standing up, turned around without saying a word, and Chen Li'an and the others went out together.

When walking out of the venue, Chen Li'an heard Director Cheng sigh helplessly, and couldn't help but whispered to Gong Li: "Do you think Director Cheng will hide at home when he returns to the congress?"

Gong Li covered her mouth and said softly: "I don't think he will return to China. He will probably go abroad to avoid the limelight, or go directly to Xiangjiang to prepare for the movie's release."

Chen Li'an thought for a while, and it's not impossible. He glanced at Gong Li's stomach and said, "If the movie is released in Xiangjiang, don't go there for publicity. Take good care of your baby in Singapore."

Gong Li nodded and said, "I know, I know it well."

"You said how about I send a gift to Director Cheng?" Chen Li'an suddenly looked at Gong Li and asked.

Gong Li said indifferently: "You can do whatever you want, but his character won't remember your kindness, and he will feel embarrassed instead."

"Oh, I'll give it too!"

At night, just as Chen Li'an sent Gong Li back to find Sophie Marceau, he saw Cheng Dao walking towards the beach alone.

The sea breeze at night was still a bit cool, Chen Li'an looked at Dao Cheng's back, and felt that he was miserable, he must not forget it tomorrow, and he wanted to give Dao Cheng a hat.

Cover yourself with a hat, and you won't be caught by reporters and embarrass him when you return home.

Chen Li'an couldn't help but clicked his tongue, feeling that he was so considerate, and walked briskly towards Sophie Marceau's apartment.

I don't know what little show Sophie Marceau will prepare tonight, whether it's a perverted female teacher or a delicate little white flower.
