Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 284 Departure!

It’s the afternoon of the 24th Cannes time, late at night domestic time.

The closing ceremony of the film festival is held today.

Liu Yifei is very worried about her boyfriend. With the popularity of "Transcendence" in Cannes, some domestic media seem to have opened the champagne in advance to celebrate Zhang Yuanjun becoming the third Cannes Best Actor in the Chinese film industry.

Liu Yifei knew that there was a company behind Zhang Yuanjun's side, and she waited to see Zhang Yuanjun's jokes.

After all, he is only 24 years old this year. Being nominated twice is already much better than other actors of the same age in the world. The best actor never dares to ask for it.

Liu Yifei couldn't sleep tonight no matter what. She kept praying in her heart that "Transcendence" would win the award.

You don't need to be the Best Actor, you can just win any award in the main competition section.

As long as he wins the award, Zhang Yuanjun will have an indelible contribution as the leading male lead, and those flattering press releases will be self-defeating.

She kept calling Zhang Yuanjun's personal phone, but the phone was turned off, and calling his assistant Xiao Zhao's phone was always busy.

After finally getting through to Xiao Zhao, she quickly asked: "How's it going?"

But Xiao Zhao’s voice was particularly mixed.

"Hey, hey, hey! Yifei, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you, I can hear you. Tell me, how's it going over there?"

Xiao Zhao walked in the hotel corridor with his mobile phone under his arm: "I don't know, the red carpet hasn't started yet. I'm going to Director Li Yang's room now."

"Where's Yuanjun?"

"Yuan Jun is already in the director's room. I will send him a dress now." Xiao Zhao walked quickly.

"Don't hang up the phone." Liu Yifei wanted to keep abreast of the information in Cannes. "Why isn't his phone turned on?"

"How dare he turn on his phone in this situation?" Xiao Zhao walked quickly, "Secretary Han Dong came in and called me. I'll answer it first and call you later." After saying that, Liu Yifei hung up the phone without waiting for her reply. .

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter spinning around and felt annoyed: "You can sit down and relax. Isn't there a live broadcast?"

The mother and daughter turned on the TV, and on the screen was the film channel's live broadcast of the film festival awards ceremony.

The red carpet hasn't started yet. The reporter is briefing the audience on the general situation of this film festival and some situations of the Chinese-speaking Corps.

Liu Yifei wandered around twice more, and just as she was about to sit down, her cell phone rang. It was Xiao Zhao's.

"Hey, how's it going?" Liu Yifei asked anxiously.

"Still waiting." Xiao Zhao's three words put Liu Yifei's anxious heart into the freezer.

According to the convention of the film festival, competing films are eligible to participate in the red carpet and award ceremony. However, in order to prevent the winning crew from leaving Cannes early, the film festival organizing committee will call the crew who are confirmed to have won the award and specially invite them to stay for the awards ceremony.

In other words, if you don’t receive a call from the organizing committee, you don’t win the award.

"Give the phone to Yuan Jun." Liu Yifei said.

Zhang Yuanjun took the phone and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

"You still have the heart to laugh? Do you know how much you are praised in China! If "Transcendence" doesn't win the award, they may not know what they will say about you." Liu Yifei was very anxious.

"I'm only 24 years old. Isn't it normal that I can't win the Best Actor Award?"

"Others don't care about this." After Liu Yifei finished speaking, Zhang Yuanjun only heard Liu Xiaoli's voice coming from the other side of the phone, "Why can't you speak? Give me the phone. Xiao Zhang."

"Hey, Auntie." Zhang Yuanjun responded.

"Don't be nervous. You know it. You have already been successful after being shortlisted twice. You are still young and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"I know, I'm not nervous, it was Sissi who kept whispering in my ears."

"She's just anxious. Don't listen to her, don't feel pressured, you know." "I know." Just as Zhang Yuanjun spoke, Li Yang's phone rang in the room, "Auntie, there's a call."

Liu Xiaoli turned on the external broadcast and followed the news in Cannes with her daughter.

Zhang Yuanjun stopped talking. He only heard Li Yang saying into the phone: "Yes, yes, ok, ok. Thank you, thank you very much."

Li Yang hung up the phone and said to them: "Go change clothes, let's go to the movie palace."

"Yeah!!!" The whole audience cheered!
"Auntie, did you hear that? We can go to the movie palace."

Mother and daughter Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei were very happy after hearing this. Liu Xiaoli said excitedly: "I heard it, I wish you good results."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli said to her daughter: "I am satisfied this time."

Liu Yifei nodded.

"Go to sleep, and there will be good news when you wake up."

"I can't sleep, go to sleep and I'll watch the live broadcast."

Liu Xiaoli knew that it was a foregone conclusion that "Transcendence" would win the award, and she felt at peace. She didn't care about her daughter and went to bed, leaving Liu Yifei lying on the sofa alone and staring at the live broadcast on TV.

On the screen, the red carpet reporter from the movie channel informed the audience watching the live broadcast: "Dear viewers, the closing red carpet of the 62nd Cannes International Film Festival has begun. We have just learned that this year's Chinese Legion's "Transcendence" " and "Spring Breeze Evening" crews have departed from the hotel and are on their way to the movie palace, let us wait and see."

At this time, the sun was shining brightly in the small town of Cannes. Zhang Yuanjun was sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside, and he felt particularly comfortable.

"Hiss - you pinch yourself when you are excited. Why are you pinching me?" Zhang Yuanjun didn't understand his assistant's move.

"I won the award, I won the award, Cannes Main Competition, can you tell me how can I not be excited? I'll see what those black guys in China can say this time." Xiao Zhao said proudly.

…………

"Friends from the audience," the red carpet reporter from the movie channel broadcast live, "the closing red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival has begun. Although affected by the global financial crisis, the scene today is still very lively. Ah, we saw "Detachment" The crew has already walked on the red carpet.”

The reporter called out the names of the creators in Chinese: "Director Li Yang, Yuan Jun, Huang Lu, here."

Director Li Yang was interviewing the French media with his translator, and Zhang Yuanjun led Huang Lu to the movie channel.

"Yuanjun, Huang Lu, what is your biggest gain from the 13-day trip to the film festival?"

Zhang Yuanjun gestured to Huang Luxian and said: "The biggest gain is that I have met many outstanding filmmakers here. It seems that there are many good-looking movies."

The reporter asked Zhang Yuanjun: "Where is Yuanjun?"

Zhang Yuanjun turned to Huang Luxiao and said, "You said my words."

The amused reporter and Huang Lu laughed endlessly.

Zhang Yuanjun said seriously: "The biggest gain from participating in the film festival is that it broadened my horizons. I also learned a few French words from a French reporter."

Li Yang and Huang Lu are regulars at international film festivals. Zhang Yuanjun is nominated for Cannes for the second time and is also well-known in Hollywood. "Transcendence" is also a big hit at this film festival, so the crew is treated very well on the red carpet.

The usher led the crew away, giving enough time for reporters on both sides of the red carpet to take photos.

The official red carpet host also introduced the "Transcendence" crew individually and read the names of the main creators one by one.

"Yuanjun, look here!"

"Director Li Yang!"

"Zhang Yuanjun, take a look here."

The crew walked on the 60-meter red carpet for nearly 10 minutes, but there were no security guards to catch them.

Finally, director Li Yang of the "Transcendence" crew, actors Zhang Yuanjun, Huang Lu, Wang Jia, Hui Yinghong, Ye Tong, and two producers from China Film and Bank of China, stood on the steps of the Film Palace and took a group photo. Then, turn around and enter.
