China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 470 Upset [-in-]

2009年5月25日，京城时间夜晚11点30分，同时也是法国时间傍晚5点30分。

In front of the red carpet outside the Lumiere Hall.

The orange-red sunset in the sky has not completely set, and the unique Mediterranean sea breeze is gently blowing, as soft as silk.

The sea breeze lifted the girl's hair, and strands of it brushed Sun Yi's cheek.

A faint floral fragrance penetrates the heart and lungs.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time he has attended a red carpet ceremony with Liu Yifei, but Xiao Nizi can give him a rare surprise every time.

Liu Yifei is wearing a creamy white tube top floor-length skirt today. The skirt is embroidered with elegant peony patterns. It is elegant yet playful. The ultimate waist design makes her waist beautiful and soft.

At this moment, she was looking in the direction of the other crews with some excitement.

As if feeling Sun Yi's gaze, Liu Yifei turned around, met Sun Yi's gaze, smiled sweetly, narrowed her eyes and asked:

"What are you looking at?"

Sun Yi smiled, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said calmly:

"Look at my wife, why are you so beautiful!"

"Humph~"

Liu Yifei snorted coquettishly, and her cheeks, which were already flushed due to excitement, became even redder.

He raised his hand and unbuttoned the first button at the collar of Sun Yi's shirt, and said timidly:

"Husband is also very handsome today!"

Sun Yi was dressed in pure black today, with a suit, trousers, shirt and leather shoes. He had no tie or bow tie. At this moment, Liu Yifei unbuttoned a button, which did not ruin the overall mature style, but added a few more Distinctive charm.

Liu Yifei raised her head slightly, her lotus-like arms were resting on Sun Yi's lapel, and her pretty face was lightly blushed, like a ripe peach.

A straight bridge of the nose, thin cherry-red lips, and two willow-like eyebrows, are dark and shining eyes. The gaze has substance, flowing quietly like water waves, and a head of fine hair, like a black chrysanthemum. It bloomed in her ears and draped on her shoulders, making her look more dignified and soft in addition to her youthful beauty.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Sun Yi would have kissed him no matter what.

Perhaps she guessed Sun Yi's thoughts, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at him angrily, and threatened: "Don't have bad thoughts."

Sun Yi could only smile helplessly, put his hand through her waist, hugged her gently, and waited for the red carpet to start.

At this time, Liu Yifei bit her lips lightly, and then she leaned into Sun Yi's ear and said coquettishly: "If you can win a prize tonight, you will be rewarded when you go home!"

Sun Yi raised his eyebrows, and a proud smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Smelly husband, this is what you think about."

The tension before the lottery quietly dissipated amidst the seemingly flirtatious flirting between the two.

The closing ceremony and awards ceremony of the 62nd Cannes Film Festival officially began.

Liu Yifei held Sun Yi's arm tightly and walked onto the red carpet.

The two of them, one in black and one in white, became the focus of the red carpet as soon as they appeared on the stage. Unlike the reporters at the opening ceremony who marveled at Liu Yifei's beauty, now they have a faint respect for the two.

For no other reason than "The Intouchables" is one of the favorites for tonight's grand prize.

"Director Sun, Ms. Liu"

"Crystal!!"

“please take a look here!!!”

The two of them waved to both sides as they walked, and at the same time cooperated with the media reporters to take photos. Sun Yi also cooperated with Xiao Nizi to adjust her floor-length skirt from time to time.

Liu Yifei's front was stretched tightly, and her chest formed a graceful arc. If you look closely, she seems to be a bit more proud than at the opening ceremony.

The large areas of skin on the exposed arms and shoulder blades are as white as fat, and the diamond necklace hanging on the chest emits a dazzling light from time to time as he moves around.

"Sun Yi, Yifei, look here!"

"Director Sun, this way, this way!"

Not only foreign reporters, but also many media reporters who came from China specially, including many familiar faces of the two people. It can be said that these people came specifically for the two of them, just for this commemorative moment.

Seeing domestic reporters, the two of them paused slightly to cooperate with everyone.

In front of the camera, Liu Yifei looked happy, and her heartfelt smile was so sweet that it was so sweet to the heart.

"Come on, Director Sun, come on Yifei!"

"Thank you!"

Liu Yifei smiled sweetly at the reporters, while Sun Yi gave a cool thumbs up.

It was just a pain for Zhang Guoli, who followed the two of them alone, pushing Phillip, as if he had become a background.

As the prototype of the movie and the original author of the script, Philip is considered one of the screenwriters. At this moment, he is attending the award ceremony with Sun Yi and others, and he is qualified to walk on the red carpet.

Cannes officials are also very lively. Following Sun Yi and the others was Quentin Quentin's "Inglourious Basterds" crew, and the scene once again burst into cheers.

The two seed players with the highest probability of winning this year will meet directly.

"Sun, I watched your movie, it was great, awesome~"

"You're not bad either, you're pretty awesome too."

"Haha, but you have to be careful tonight, I won't give up easily."

"Quentin, me too."

After the two cast members finished walking, the other cast members on the red carpet looked a bit gloomy.

Lou Ye, who was originally popular at the opening ceremony, now received less attention.

There is no way, reality is so cruel.

But even so, he didn't give up.

Until the last moment, nothing is known.

At 6:30 pm, French time, the award ceremony officially began.

The order of the awards ceremony in Cannes is actually the same as that of mainstream film festivals.

The Chairman of the Organizing Committee gave a speech, first a circle of thanks, and then the formal awards were presented.

It's just that other film festivals start with awards for special effects such as "Serving the Way", then the best screenplay, screenwriter, best actor, best actress, etc., until the finale of best director and best film.

But Cannes is different. There are not so many side awards in the main competition section. The top one is the Best Screenplay Award.

The Best Screenplay Award at Cannes is also very different. There is no distinction between "Best Original Screenplay" and "Best Adapted Screenplay". They are both counted together. As long as the quality is high and the jury approves, there is a chance of winning the award.

Perhaps because it was the first award, the organizers arranged for a heavyweight presenter.

The famous Hollywood director Martin Scorsese.

Martin Scorsese, with gray hair in a suit and tie, walked onto the stage with a microphone. He first bowed slightly to all the guests, and then said slowly:

"Good evening, everyone."

"Thank you to the Cannes Film Festival for allowing us to gather here tonight to witness this unforgettable moment and experience the unique charm of film art."

"As an old man who has lived most of his life, I am extremely happy to see your youthful faces in the audience. Thank you for putting in countless efforts for each movie, as well as the enthusiastic and lovely audiences, who make you happy We are motivated to push the art of cinema to new heights.”

"All the entries tonight, in my heart, you are all great. If I were a judge, each of you would deserve a trophy."

"hehe."

"clap clap"

There was good-natured laughter from the audience, and many people also applauded.

Liu Yifei also laughed and clapped her hands. She leaned into Sun Yi's ear and asked softly:

"Brother, which film do you think can win this Best Screenplay Award?"

Sun Yi listened intently and then smiled.

"You think I'm a fortune teller, how do I know that?"

"Actually, I think our script is pretty good, but it's better not to win this award."

Sun Yi chuckled and looked at Liu Yifei. “Why, you don’t look down on the screenwriting award?”

Liu Yifei raised her head proudly and said seriously: "Don't think I don't know. If you win the screenwriter award, you will miss out on the subsequent big awards. This is an unspoken rule."

"Oh, you know quite a lot."

"Then look, I can study all the award-winning works in Cannes in the past few years!"

Sun Yi's eyes were a little playful for a moment, but he didn't expect that Xiao Nizi, who was always too lazy to do anything, would work so hard.

Liu Yifei smiled proudly, and then returned her gaze to the stage.

For some reason, Liu Yifei felt her heart pounding loudly since she sat down at the venue. She felt both nervous and excited. It was like she was standing in front of the camera for the first time in her life.

I could only make some jokes with Sun Yi to relieve the tension.

On the stage, Martin Scorsese took out an envelope from his arms and continued into the microphone:

"But that's the rule, you have to make a choice. But before awarding the award, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude to all the members of the jury who screened and selected these outstanding works for us."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

There was a round of applause at the scene.

Martin opened the envelope.

"Without wasting any more time, the winner of the Best Screenplay Award at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival is"

Martin on the stage looked at the envelope and obviously paused for a moment before reacting and continued reading:

"Sun Yi and Philip, "THE INTOUCHABLES" and "The Intouchables"!"

Pah. Pah pah pah.

The applause also paused, and then burst out loudly, accompanied by a small noise like a whisper.

No one expected that this year's awards ceremony would be an immediate upset, with the first screenwriting award going to "The Intouchables", one of the Palme d'Or's biggest hits.

Lou Ye, who was sitting in the back row, was also stunned, then chuckled and raised his hands to applaud.

The crew of "The Intouchables".

Liu Yifei suddenly covered her lips with her hands and stood there stunned, her eyes red, and she was about to cry.

Sun Yi also swallowed involuntarily, then immediately adjusted himself, smiled, straightened his clothes, and stood up.

Liu Yifei beside her also stood up and hugged her.

To outsiders, this beautiful oriental actress must be very proud of her boyfriend. Tears already overflowed from her eyes at this moment.

But the actual situation.

"Husband, am I a crow's mouth?"

At such a tense moment, Sun Yi suddenly wanted to laugh.

He patted her back gently and comforted her in her ear: "It's okay, don't cry, there is still a chance."

"Thank you to the Cannes Film Festival, and to Mr. Philippe for his strength, and for recognizing me and entrusting me with this good story."

Sun Yi did not prepare his acceptance speech for the Best Screenplay Award in advance and could only improvise on the spot.

After speaking, he bowed and handed the microphone to Phillip's mouth.

At this moment, Phillip was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears.

"Thank you, thank you to Cannes, thank you to Director Sun Yi, and thank you to everyone who supports me and Abdel."

Bang bang bang bang

Everyone at the scene gave him a round of applause as usual.

However, I also have something in mind.

It seems tonight's Palme d'Or should go to "Inglourious Basterds."

Zhang Ziyi, as one of tonight's award guests, is sitting next to director Li Yin. The two have worked together since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Li Yin is also one of her top talents, so they are very familiar with each other. .

Zhang Ziyi paid attention to the shape of his mouth while applauding, and said to Director Li Ying: "Director Ying, this is very surprising."

Li Jian nodded and sighed softly: "It's really surprising. I've seen the movie. To be honest, it's pretty good."

Zhang Ziyi twitched the corners of his mouth noncommittally, as if he was smiling.

"Tsk, it's a pity. It seems that he is still too young and has little qualifications."

These words seemed to mean something.

Li Yi frowned slightly and said: "That's not necessarily the case. Normally, the seven awards in the main competition section of Cannes will be evenly distributed to seven films. This is the rule, but occasionally one award will be awarded to two films or one. A film has won two awards. For example, the 93 Palme d'Or was awarded to both "Farewell My Concubine" directed by Veuve Clicquot and "The Piano Lesson" directed by Jane Campion."

"And "Elephant" directed by Gus Van Sant in 03."

Zhang Ziyi added in a timely manner.

Li nodded and said, "Yes, the Best Director and Best Picture Palme d'Or were awarded to it in 03."

This is the only time in the past two decades that one award has been awarded to two films or one film has won two awards at the Cannes Film Festival.

Zhang Ziyi's eyes flickered as he looked at Sun Yi who was coming down from the stage.

Will it happen again tonight?

"Director, I'll go backstage first to prepare the awards."

"Well, let's go."

Sun Yi, who returned from the stage, returned to his seat with the trophy in hand and handed the trophy to Liu Yifei.

The Berlin Film Festival is different from the Venice Film Festival. The trophies of the Cannes Film Festival are not divided into gold lions, silver lions, gold bears, and silver bears. All trophies in the main competition are in the style of the Palme d'Or, except for the inscriptions and certificates on them. There is a difference.

The Palme d'Or trophy is about the size of a palm and was specially customized for it by the famous jewelry design company Chopard. It is based on a 1-kilogram crystal and is inlaid with a golden olive branch composed of 19 leaves. The olive branch and leaves are made of 24K gold. , looks very exquisite.

Liu Yifei held the trophy tightly and couldn't put it down, but her face still looked aggrieved.

"The trophies are all the same."

"But this is not as good as the final Palme d'Or."

"There is still a chance, what if the final Palme d'Or is still ours."

"But. But"

The Best Screenplay Award is also very good, but after all it is not as good as the Palme d'Or for Best Picture.

After all, who doesn’t want to take first place?

Although as Sun Yi said, it is not that there is no chance, but Liu Yifei knows how slim such a chance is. There are only two in twenty years, which is lower than the probability of winning the lottery.

But she was really unwilling to be so close to a world-class film award in her life.

"Daughter-in-law, are there any rewards you mentioned?"

"No more, no more." Liu Yifei said angrily.

"You are cheating again, this is also a prize!"

"It doesn't count!"

Sun Yi smiled brightly, his expression a little helpless.

Xiao Nizi was actually more interested in the movie he made than he was.

At this time, Liu Yifei vented a little, then gradually calmed down, and couldn't help but glance at Sun Yi.

Only then did she think that if she was in such a bad mood, what about Sun Yi.

Could it be that he was more disappointed than himself? It was just that he was afraid that he would be worried, so he didn't show it.

　There will be another chapter in a moment, the Cannes plot is finished today.
