It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 793 "I do!"

"Brother Fei, I just negotiated a new movie in Cannes these past two days! Does this count as good things coming in pairs? Hahaha!"

When Chen Fei went to inform Zhu Yawen that they would go to the award ceremony together tomorrow afternoon, he unexpectedly received some news that was quite unexpected.

"New play? What new play?"

Zhu Yawen scratched his head and roughly explained: "This play is invested by Huayi, and its name is "Lu Yao Zhi Mali". I play the second male lead, which is a very 'characteristic' role.

If nothing unexpected happens, once the film is released, it will probably become one of my masterpieces.”

Hearing this, Fade Chen nodded approvingly: "You have a very good attitude. As an actor, the most important thing is the script and the role. Although the status and ranking are also important, they should not be the standard for measuring a play."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Zhu Yawen nodded slightly, but the words he said next made Chen Fei frown suddenly.

"However, the structure of this play is still quite strange. Although it is invested by Huayi, the producer is the vice president of Wanda, not Gu Changwei. Also, Wanda is not among the investors. I don't know what's going on."

Hearing this, Fade Chen suddenly remembered the day when he held the premiere of "The Worst Person in the World".

On his way back to the hotel with Liu Yifei, he happened to see Ye Ning and Wang Zhonglei walking out of the hotel. The two of them were arm in arm, looking like "good brothers".

"Could it be that...the two brothers of the Wang family really reached some kind of agreement with Ye Ning?"

Chen Fei muttered to himself, but he felt a little sad in his heart. If it was really as he guessed, the film industry would probably experience another wave of turmoil in the near future.

"What are you mumbling about?"

Zhu Yawen moved a little closer, wanting to hear clearly what Chen Fei was saying.

"Nothing, just prepare your dress. We'll walk the red carpet together tomorrow and prepare to attend the film festival awards ceremony."

"Haha, okay, I'll take a break when I get back this time. Jiani is about to give birth, so I'll spend the rest of the month with her before filming the new movie."

"Oh? Are you preparing to be a father now?"

"Haha, don't worry, the position of godfather is reserved for you."

……

The Cannes International Film Festival has officially come to an end, which is also the most tense, exciting, thrilling and blood-boiling moment!
By the afternoon, the festival brochure had already listed detailed information about all the films shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Looking around, "The Worst Person in the World" is right there on the front page!
A large number of media and film critics have even made a wave of predictions for these films, and looking at the situation, Chen Fei and "The Worst Person in the World" are undoubtedly one of the favorites to win the award.

Accompanied by tension and excitement, time officially entered the 24th!
Early in the morning, the entire Cannes International Film Festival entered an extremely heated state.

Media, film practitioners, crew members, actors, stars and celebrities from all walks of life from all over the world gathered together, all of them eagerly looking forward to the upcoming closing ceremony red carpet.

In the hotel, Liu Yifei was still busy with her makeup.

The stylist and makeup artist team placed the dresses, jewelry and other items that had been prepared long ago on her one by one, making her, who was already bright and charming, even more intellectual, generous and powerful!
Chen Fei and Zhu Yawen had already changed into their suits and were sitting in the living room, waiting for Liu Yifei's makeup to be finished before setting off together.

With nothing to do, the two of them were having a heated discussion about a headline news in the domestic entertainment industry.

"The cast of 'Lord Dynasty' is quite strong!" Zhu Yawen counted on his fingers in amazement: "Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Wu Yifan, Chen Xuedong, Wang Yuan, Chen Weiting, Guo Caijie..."

Chen Fei crossed his legs and jokingly said, "Isn't this normal? Can LeEco's investment be a small one?"

Zhu Yawen was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized: "So, Guo Jingming successfully obtained the qualification to invest in LeTV Pictures by relying on "Jade Dynasty"?"

After a moment's silence, Fade Chen commented: "This should be considered a two-way rush."

With the announcement of the cast, "Jade Dynasty" immediately became one of the "typical" TV series in the industry that became popular before it was aired.

However, Xiao Si is too good at blowing, and sometimes he can easily make a fool of himself while blowing.

When he shouted the slogan "on par with The Lord of the Rings" at the press conference of "Jade Dynasty", he immediately caused a wave of ridicule on the Internet.

"It's a Hollywood blockbuster, who are you?"

"Wait a minute, let me laugh for a while first. Can 'Jade Dynasty' be compared with 'The Lord of the Rings'? Hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter!"

"No, Guo Xiaosi, can you please stop flattering yourself? With the level of your Tiny Times, you want to make something like The Lord of the Rings? Are you kidding me?"

Looking at these comments online, Fade Chen's mouth curled up unconsciously.

He suddenly became curious. When "Jade Dynasty" is released, how will Guo Jingming defend his boasting in the face of "judgment" from the entire network?
……

Nearing 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Yifei's makeup that had lasted for several hours was finally finished.

"Please help me put a piece of chocolate in my pocket. I need to eat it when we get to the venue, otherwise I will faint from hunger!" Liu Yifei instructed Chen Fei without any hesitation.

Zhu Yawen laughed as he watched from the side. After all, only at times like this would the great director Chen, who was admired and worshipped by thousands of people, become a "little slave".

After packing the chocolates, Fade Chen immediately asked, "Are you ready? Can we set off?"

"Ok, let's go!"

Miss Liu waved her arms, and the watches and bracelets on her wrists, as well as the high-end accessories worn around her neck, hung on her ears, and dangling on her body, suddenly made a "clattering" sound, which was quite eye-catching.

Seeing this scene, Fade Chen secretly felt lucky that he didn't endorse so many products, otherwise it would be a headache for those brands to organize their activities.

At the same time, just as they set off, the headlines and hot searches in the domestic film and television and entertainment circles began to be refreshed frantically.

"With less than an hour left before the closing ceremony of the 68th Cannes International Film Festival, media on the scene learned that director Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen have already set off for the Cannes red carpet."

"Director Jia Zhangke and the crew of Mountains May Depart have appeared in the red carpet waiting area. He is looking forward to the upcoming awards ceremony."

"Hou Xiaoxian, Shu Qi and others have already left the hotel. It is reported that many members of the crew of The Assassin have returned to Taiwan this morning and will not attend the awards ceremony. The reason is still unknown."

...

In addition to the much-anticipated awards ceremony, the red carpet at the closing ceremony of the film festival is undoubtedly the most dazzling scenery.

As the red carpet ceremony began, domestic news websites and official media set up equipment to broadcast every wonderful moment to global audiences in the form of live text and pictures.

Tourists, media reporters, fans and moviegoers who flocked from all directions were also very enthusiastic, with their cameras pointed at the red carpet, waiting for the appearance of "international superstars" one by one.

As a director who has repeatedly achieved great success at international film festivals, Chen Fei has long been the focus of everyone's attention.

His works transcend cultural and language barriers and are not only loved by domestic audiences, but also won high acclaim on the international stage.

Therefore, the moment he pushed open the car door and stepped onto the red carpet, everyone's eyes were focused on him, as if he was the brightest star!
However, when he got off the car, Fade Chen did not move forward immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked behind him, and asked softly, "Xixi, are you ready?"

Inside the car, Liu Yifei nodded knowingly and responded, "Well, everything is ready."

Immediately afterwards, a slender arm appeared in the cameras and eyes of all the media, reporters, and audiences in the audience.

The next second, Liu Yifei's hand stretched out from the car door and gently placed on Chen Fei's hand.

The two of them stood together on the glittering red carpet, drawing cheers from the surroundings!

"If I had known, I would have walked the red carpet by myself. Don't I have nothing to do? Come over here and be a light bulb..." Zhu Yawen also came out of the car later, but very few people paid attention to him.

Only the domestic media gave him some face and called him over and took a few photos of him alone.

After all, he is a top-tier actor in China, so he hasn't completely fallen to the point of becoming an unknown figure!
After entering the venue, under the guidance of the staff, Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and Zhu Yawen came to the middle of the second row.

Directly in front of the three people was the camera installed by the organizer, which was very grand and well-respected.

"Are you nervous?"

Chen Fei turned his head to look at Liu Yifei, paying attention to her condition.

"It's okay." Miss Liu answered in a serious tone, but her hands were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.

Fade Chen smiled, reached out and took her hand, holding it tightly in his palm, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."

"Fuck, I'm really impressed. This is an award ceremony! Can you two stop being so affectionate!?" Zhu Yawen was speechless. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he would even be ready to get up and leave.

Liu Yifei was immediately amused by his appearance and started laughing, and most of her nervousness was successfully dispelled.

At this time, the jury came on stage.

As the presidents of this year's Cannes Film Festival, the Coen brothers began their speech.

“We welcome filmmakers from all over the world to gather at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival Awards Ceremony.

After more than ten days of selection, we will announce the list of winners of this year's Cannes Film Festival tonight, so please wait and see..."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene held their breath and stared at the stage.

The first award to be announced is the Un Certain Regard Award.

Directors from Iceland, Little Japan, India and Iran received their awards respectively, walked off the stage happily and shared their joy with their respective crew members.

Next comes the official start of the main competition unit.

"Chen Fei?" Liu Yifei's hands suddenly clenched a little.

"Relax, don't be nervous..."

On stage, the first grand prize was announced.

"Best Screenplay Award: Michel Frank, "Chronic"

A Mexican director stood up suddenly and was so excited that he burst into tears!

Soon after, two more awards were announced.

“Caméra d’Or for Best First Film: Earth and Shadows.”

“Best Short Film Palme d’Or: Ely Dagher’s “98 Wave”.”

In less than 15 minutes, three key awards had been given out, and the actual grand prize presentation began shortly afterwards.

Chen Fei could clearly feel that there were even fine beads of sweat on Liu Yifei's palms, which were very wet and slippery!
After working so hard for so long, she really wants to prove herself!

On the stage, Sophie Marceau opened the envelope and solemnly read out: "The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival is... Crystal Liu Yifei, The Worst Person in the World." The clear voice echoed in the venue, attracting the attention and admiration of many people!
"Yeah! I really won a prize!"

Liu Yifei stood up suddenly and looked at the stage in disbelief.

At this moment, the heavy weight in Fade Chen's heart finally fell to the ground.

He released Liu Yifei's hand, stood up and hugged her, leaning close to her ear and whispering, "My best actress, go up and receive your award."

Many female stars around cast envious glances at Liu Yifei.

After all, this is the Cannes Film Festival winner, so it’s of great value!

Looking around, there are only 67 of them in the world, and Liu Yifei is the 68th.

As for China, there is only one winner, Maggie Cheung, which shows how difficult it is to win the Cannes Best Actress Award.

"Director Chen actually brought out a Cannes Film Queen?!" Shu Qi murmured in the crew of "The Assassin", unable to hide his inner shock.

"His film has a lot of advantages and fits the style favored by European and American directors very well. It's not surprising that he won a Best Actress award."

Hou Xiaoxian commented out loud, feeling inexplicably sad in his heart, because he...did not receive a call from the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival.

However, at this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke out in the meeting hall!
The guests at the scene all looked over and saw that before Liu Yifei went on stage to receive the award, she actually kissed Chen Fei hard on the mouth in public!
Zhu Yawen crossed his legs and muttered cheerfully, "This is going to cause a big uproar in China!"

There were many domestic media present at the award ceremony. Before Liu Yifei even stepped onto the stage, the photo had already appeared on Weibo.

As expected, there was an immediate quarrel on the internet!

"What the hell? What the hell! What the hell?!"

"What's going on? Why are they kissing?"

"Oh my god, this is impossible? My little dragon girl is actually in love?"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I guess my Sissi was just too excited, that's why this happened!"

"Haha, I always thought that they would be able to be together. Sure enough, I guessed it right, hahaha!"

"I'm 28 now, it's time to fall in love... woooo, oh my youth!"

"I don't believe it. I don't believe it. It's impossible for her to do so. Unless I see them officially announce it, I absolutely don't believe it. Which successful actress would publicly announce her relationship before she's 30? Isn't this just cutting off her own path?"

……

Cannes, awards ceremony.

After receiving the trophy handed over by Sophie Marceau, Liu Yifei once again shed tears of excitement.

“I am very grateful to the jury for recognizing me. I never thought I could win such a prestigious trophy... In the days ahead, I will definitely live up to the expectations of my fans and strive to produce more and better works.

Finally, I would like to thank Director Chen Fei. Without him, I would not be standing here today and holding such a valuable trophy. Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me..."

The camera suddenly turned to the audience, and saw Chen Fei with a smile on his face, looking at Liu Yifei on the stage with a doting look.

"Hey? My former colleague has become the boss's wife now?"

Zhang Yi's words made Jia Zhangke and everyone in the "Mountains May Depart" crew laugh out loud.

After giving her acceptance speech, Liu Yifei walked off the stage happily, holding the trophy.

Zhu Yawen wanted to borrow it to watch, but was sternly rejected by Liu Yifei, which made him look depressed.

Because Chen Fei was the male lead in the movie, his name also appeared in the subsequent Best Actor nominations.

However, the final winner of this award was a French actor.

Liu Yifei came over and asked quietly, "There are still four prizes. Will there be one for you?"

"How could anyone know?"

Fade Chen shrugged, not particularly concerned.

Being able to help Liu Yifei win the Best Actress award has fulfilled his wish. As for whether there will be other awards in the future, it is actually not very important to him.

"Best Director Award, winner: Jia Zhangke, "Mountains May Depart"!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fade Chen slowly turned his head and saw Jia Zhangke and a group of actors from the "Mountains May Depart" crew standing there in a daze, their faces full of disbelief!

At this time, many filmmakers at the scene spontaneously applauded him.

From the Cannes Best Screenplay Award to today's Best Director Award, it took Jia Xiaoming 13 years and spanned 13 Cannes Film Festivals, which is extremely difficult.

……

"Winner of the Jury Prize: Yorgos Lanthimos, The Lobster."

Soon, another major award was announced, and a director from Greece successfully won the award.

Chen Fei played with Liu Yifei's little hand, and felt that slippery feeling reappearing again. It was very familiar and made him look forward to tonight.

He was not nervous at all, but Liu Yifei was very nervous. Her watery eyes were fixed on the podium, and her mouth was opening and closing constantly, as if she was praying for Fade Chen.
More than ten minutes later, another big prize was announced.

"The winner of the 68th Cannes International Film Festival Jury Prize is: Laszlo Gerais's "Son of Saul""

At this point, the awards ceremony of this year's Cannes Film Festival has officially come to an end.

Jia Zhangke, who had calmed down, looked at Chen Fei and whispered, "What's going on? Did he only get a Best Actress trophy tonight?"

Zhang Yi on the side blinked in confusion, did not reply, but just stared at the podium.

Shu Qi was also chatting with Hou Xiaoxian at this time: "Director Hou, do you think Chen Fei still has hope?"

"Hard to say."

Hou Xiaoxian shook his head, frowned slightly, and started thinking about other things.

"The Assassin" failed to achieve any success this time, and after returning to Taiwan, it is bound to be subject to another wave of public opinion.

"Why don't we continue to work on this year's Golden Horse Awards..."

At this moment, the Coen brothers walked up to the podium.

The highest awards of the three major film festivals have always been presented by the chairman of the jury.

"I am very happy to be the president of the jury of this year's Cannes Film Festival. Next, the two of us brothers will present the Palme d'Or..."

"Best Film Palme d'Or, winner: Chen Fei, The Worst Person in the World, congratulations!"

Ok? ? ?
Chen Fei paused and looked towards the stage in surprise.

He never expected that after winning the Best Actress trophy, there would be such a big prize waiting for him!
"Wow, two big awards? One Best Actress and one Palme d'Or. This is crazy! It's like taking off!"

Zhu Yawen looked very surprised, this role was really worth playing.

From now on, this movie is one of his masterpieces, and it can be ranked at the top, even though he only played the second male lead in it!

Accompanied by warm applause, everyone in the audience looked over.

Chen Fei stood up, gave Liu Yifei a gentle hug, and received another sweet kiss from Miss Liu.

As he walked toward the stage, he quickly adjusted his original plan.

Initially, he was planning to announce the incident in front of the media, but now it seems that God was helping him.

In that case, let’s just follow the will of heaven!
Stepping onto the podium and receiving the Palme d'Or trophy engraved with golden palm leaves from the Coen brothers, Chen Fei took a step forward and stood in front of the microphone.

This time, he did not follow common sense and said anything to thank the organizers or judges.

Under the gaze of everyone present, he fixed his eyes on where Liu Yifei was sitting in the audience.

At this time, Miss Liu's face was full of smiles, her eyes were slightly red, and she was looking at him lovingly.

...

“In the movie ‘The Worst Person in the World’, the heroine experienced many setbacks and hardships, but she still insisted on being herself and bravely pursuing her dreams.

The same is true for the girl I like. At a very early age, she was hurt by countless rumors and endured a lot of hardships and pain.

She once told me that she would cry alone in the middle of the night and was too scared to go online or pay attention to any entertainment news.

But even so, no matter what difficulties she faced, she was able to overcome them with tenacity and perseverance, always grateful in her heart, and with a bright and dazzling light in her eyes. "

At this moment, the cameras in the conference hall have been split into two groups.

One of the cameras was aimed at Liu Yifei, who was holding the Best Actress trophy, smiling and unable to hold back tears, while the other was aimed at Chen Fei, who was making a passionate confession.

“Last year on her birthday, I gave her a script that made her a unique heroine, and this year, I had prepared the gift in advance and now it is in my hands.”

Liu Yifei, I want to announce to the world here that I like you! I like your beauty and wisdom, and I like your tenacity and independence, which is similar to the heroine in the movie.

I am willing to be a ray of light in your life, accompany you through every difficult moment, and share your joys and sorrows. Please let me use my sincerity and warmth to protect your smile and accompany you in pursuing your dreams.

So, are you willing to accept this early birthday gift?"

I don’t know who shouted first, but suddenly, there were shouts of “promise him” and “promise him” in the conference hall.

The next second, Liu Yifei stood up excitedly, casually handed the Best Actress trophy in her hand to Zhu Yawen who was standing beside her, and ran to the stage with her skirt lifted up.

She stood on the podium, took the Palme d'Or trophy handed to her by Chen Fei, and shouted loudly into the microphone:

"I am willing!"
