Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 444 Introducing my heroine again

The crew of "Her" was placed in the middle right hand corner of the auditorium. It wasn't a particularly good location, but it was okay.

Before the official start of the awards ceremony, the crew of "Her" also had a warm conversation with filmmakers from all over the world who attended the ceremony.

Some producers exaggerate Yuan Jun's acting skills and want to make a movie with him, some brand directors want to sign Liu Yifei's endorsement, and some want to cooperate with Xu Anhua.

"Her" is a popular drama group in the scene.

Liu Yifei took the initiative to approach Gong Li to express her love and successfully got a group photo.

Gong Li regretfully said: "I heard that "Her" was well received in Cannes. I just came today and didn't even watch it properly."

Then he asked Liu Yifei softly: "Did you answer the phone?"

Liu Yifei hummed.

Gong Li smiled and said: "Then I hope you can get good results. In the past two years, our mainland's artistic films have really not done well internationally."

Liu Yifei said: "We cannot afford such a big responsibility."

Gong Li smiled and said, "That one of yours can afford it."

"He just came here for a visit. He didn't dare to think about any prizes he could win." Liu Yifei smiled.

"Hey, your wedding will be in October."

"Yes, the end of October. I must come then."

Gong Li joked: "I may not be free then." Seeing that Liu Yifei was "unhappy", she said angrily: "Okay, I will definitely come and drink your wedding wine then."

Soon, the cut-off music started and the ceremony began immediately. Liu Yifei returned to her seat and sat down.

The host of this year's awards ceremony is French actress Bérénice Bejo, the heroine of last year's hit "The Artist".

After a brief opening speech, Bérénice Bejo introduced Kylie Minogue and Jean-Pierre Dardenne to the stage to present the Best Short Film Award.

It was won by French director L. Rezan Yesilbas for "Silence."

The Golden Camera Award for Best First Feature was then awarded to Bech Zeitlin's "Beasts of the Southern Wild".

After these two awards were awarded, it was the turn of the main competition unit.

Prior to this, Bérénice Bejo followed Cannes practice by first introducing Nanni Moretti, the chairman of the jury for the main competition unit of this film festival, and then he introduced the members of the jury.

The first award in the main competition unit is the Special Jury Award. This award is different from the Jury Grand Prize. If the Jury Grand Prize is the second prize after the Palme d'Or, then the Special Jury Award is second to the Jury Grand Prize. The third prize is of a consolation nature.

Jury President Nanni Moretti announced that the winner of the Special Jury Prize was Matteo Garrone's "Reality". During the film festival, this film had a good reputation but was not particularly outstanding. The consolation of the third prize was not in vain.

Next is the Best Screenplay Award, won by Romanian director Christian Mongi. Mongi is a frequent visitor to international film festivals. Although he is not prolific, his quality is stable and he is favored by the international film industry.

The heavyweight Best Director Award followed closely, and the crew of "Her" was heartbroken. If they could win Xu Anhua a Best Director award, she would no longer regret her career as a director.

But it is a pity that the Best Director Award was an upset and was taken away by Mexican director Carlos Reygadas for the most controversial "The Dark Side" of this film festival.

He was the one who scolded reporters at the press conference.

Immediately following was the Best Actor Award, presented by Gong Li.

Gong Li came on stage and first greeted the audience in French, and then delivered her award speech in Chinese.

"...Let's see who is the best actor."

Nanni Moretti stood up and announced: "Mads Mikkelsen, Jagten."

There was warm applause from the audience!
  "Hunting" received a high score of 2.8 in the catalogue. Director Thomas Vinterberg produced his best work in recent years, and leading actor Mads Mikkelsen won the best actor award.

"You don't really think I can win the second best actor, do you?" Zhang Yuanjun said to Liu Yifei while applauding Mads Mikkelsen.

"No way!" Liu Yifei thought that if her husband won another Cannes Best Actor, he would not be able to get promoted in the country.

Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "Maybe the judges will award you the Best Actress Award." There is no actress who is particularly popular at this year's film festival.

"The format of "Her" is novel. If these judges want to play a big role and award you a Best Actress, you will become the first Best Actress in the history of Cannes who does not appear on the screen."     "Why are you such a bad person? "Liu Yifei really never thought that she could win an award for "Her".

However, when she saw the best actress presenter coming on stage with two certificates of commendation, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

Zhang Yuanjun's eyes were sharp: "The movie queen lays double yolk eggs?"

Liu Yifei grabbed Zhang Yuanjun's hand.

"Cosmina Statan, Cristina Frutu, Over the Mountains," announced Nanni Moretti.

Zhang Yuanjun clearly saw disappointment in Liu Yifei's eyes, but Liu Yifei still said: "My acting is good."

"No idea?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"No."

"Tough talk." Zhang Yuanjun squeezed Liu Yifei's hand.

At this point, the award ceremony has come to an end.

"A Separation" actress Leila Hatami took the stage to present the second prize of the film festival, the Jury Prize.

Leila praised the success of this film festival on the stage, praised the significance of film art, and finally asked Nanni Moretti: "Mr. Chairman."

Nanni Moretti stood up and announced the winner of the Jury Prize: "Her, Ann Hui."

The whole audience burst into whistles, applause and cheers.

When the live director's footage was shown to the "Her" crew, Xu Anhua couldn't believe that he had won the award and stood up excitedly.

She hugged Liu Yifei, hugged Zhang Yuanjun, and hugged the staff of MK2 and China Film.

Xu Anhua took Liu Yifei's hand and asked her to go on stage with him. Liu Yifei shook her head. This was the director's moment of glory and she shouldn't go up.

But Xu Anhua insisted on taking her with him, and Zhang Yuanjun also pushed her and asked her to come up with him.

Liu Yifei smiled and went up with Xu Anhua.

Xu Anhua received the certificate of commendation from Leila and said in English: "Thank you to the film festival, thank you to the jury, thank you Mr. Chairman, thank you to the crew of "Her" and to MK2, China Film, Anle Pictures and other producers for their support. Thank you. My actor, Crystal, does not have a scene in the film, so I would like to introduce my heroine to you again. She is a very good actress, and she will get married and become a bride in October this year."

The applause from the audience became even louder.

Liu Yifei was shy. She leaned in front of the microphone and just said thank you and stopped talking.

The director was very considerate and cut the camera to Zhang Yuanjun in the audience. Zhang Yuanjun was whistling and cheering fiercely. When the camera was on him, out of an actor's professional instinct, he didn't look at the camera for the first time. Then he reacted and turned to the camera. The camera smiled and gave a thumbs up.

The two took a photo with award-winning guest Leila on the stage and then came down.

The news from Cannes spread back to China immediately.

"1095 Movie Network. At the 65th Cannes International Film Festival Awards Ceremony, the Chinese film "Her" won the Film Festival Jury Award. Director Xu Anhua and heroine Liu Yifei came to the stage to receive the award. Liu Yifei did not appear in the film, and the director was on the podium I would like to introduce you to Liu Yifei."

"Xinlang Entertainment News. The movie "Her" directed by Xu Anhua and starring Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei won the Jury Award at this film festival. On the podium, Xu Anhua revealed that Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei's wedding will be held in October this year. This is This is the first time news of the exact time of their wedding has spread."

"How does it feel to be on stage?" Zhang Yuanjun asked Liu Yifei.

"Nervous." She still didn't win the award. Liu Yifei couldn't imagine that if she won the award and spoke on stage, she would be speechless with excitement.

"So you know how courageous I was to confess to you on stage in 09."

"You're still showing off at this time." Liu Yifei smiled and gave him a hammer.

The final Palme d'Or went to Haneke's "Amour", which received the highest score from the show. It was neither an upset nor a surprise.

At this point, the 65th Cannes International Film Festival has come to a successful conclusion. (End of chapter)
