Chapter 531 Chinese-language films win big

Early morning Imperial City time.

The Cannes Film Festival Awards Ceremony is already at its climax.

With the double-yolked egg awarded for Best Actress, it is basically doomed that the Best Actor award is unlikely to be repeated.

In the end, "Market Law" starring Vincent Linton won this year's Best Actor Award.

At this time, there are only three major awards left at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Grand Jury Prize, the Best Director Award, and the Palme d'Or for Best Film.

The first thing to come out is the Jury Prize, commonly known as the Palme d'Or consolation prize, which Li Mu has won once.

Although it is a consolation prize for the best picture, it is still very useful. At least if it is added to the movie, the copyright and box office will be much higher.

But putting this aspect aside, it is far from the Palme d'Or.

But Chinese people only know that Brother Chen Kai won the Palme d'Or, but they never remember that Hou Hsiao-hsien also won the Jury Prize.

"It's hard to say, Cannes likes to divide the pork. Fortunately, the acting awards are not in the way, otherwise it would be a G directly."

All major media outlets are preparing for the scene when the conversation ends.

"La La Land, congratulations!"

Liu Yifei said coquettishly, but she enjoyed this intimacy very much.

"Hou Hsiao-hsien, "Assassin Nie Yinniang"!!!"

The crew who have won awards are much more relaxed, except for acting awards of course.

At this moment, the venue couldn't help but become a little quiet.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei took a breath and became more nervous.

The two don't like to show off, and the awards ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival is not very entertaining, so the two directly announced the winner of the Palme d'Or.

At this time, the best director award presenter has already taken the stage.

"A little inferior!"

Li Mu shaved Liu Yifei's smooth hump nose.

Li Mu was even more delighted by the applause that rang out from various locations in the stadium.

“Son of Saul!!!”

"."

This is not an innocuous award like Best Director. The more Palme d'Or the better.

He was somewhat confident, after all, "La La Land" was a film that could win awards, but when the real Palme d'Or came, he inevitably had ups and downs in his mood.

Liu Yifei naturally hugged Li Mu with both hands, as if she was even happier than she was when she won the award. Her feet were still bouncing, and Li Mu was swaying along with her.

It seems that I have gained a lot this time, and I have already won two awards.

Amid everyone's expectations, the Coen brothers finally spoke in unison.

When the words fell, the domestic media became agitated.

Domestic netizens chatted wordlessly.

As the award-presenting guest finished speaking, the audience burst into applause like thunder.

In fact, the Grand Jury Prize that year was Wenders' "So Far So Far" and the Jury Prize was Hou Hsiao-Hsien's "The Play of Life."

"."

"Is there any chance? I have already won two awards this year!"

Li Mu applauded and congratulated with a smile on his face.

"The film that won the Palme d'Or at the 68th Cannes Film Festival is."

"tacit agreement!"

Just like everyone knows that the 46th Cannes International Film Festival won the Palme d'Or, but no one knows who won the jury award this time.

"The Palme d'Or, come on, it's been 22 years!"

"Looking at it now, Brother Chen Kai was still very good back then. I don't know how the recent "The Taoist Comes Down the Mountain" is!"

The entire crew of "The Assassin" stood up and congratulated Hou Hsiao-hsien.

He has already won the Best Director award. One more would be better, but one less would not have much impact.

The Coen brothers, as the presidents of this year's jury, took the stage to present the final award.

"Amu! I really won the award, the Palme d'Or!"

The two of them were extremely in sync, looking at each other and couldn't help but smile, as if they both knew what the other was thinking.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but hold Li Mu's hand, because after Hou Hsiao-hsien's thanks, the final grand prize of this year was about to be announced.

"According to Cannes' rules, I don't know if "La La Land" still has a chance, but "Assassin" should have two awards left, so it has a good chance."

"Oh, a lot of people are watching."

Hou Hsiao-hsien couldn't help but lamented that he missed the Palme d'Or again this time. Although it was really good to win the Best Director Award, all the directors couldn't help but feel regret when looking at the highest award in Cannes.

"Go ahead, this time you can finally touch a truly complete golden palm leaf."

Liu Yifei gently pushed Li Mu's shoulder and asked him to go on stage to receive the award.

"Congratulations!"

The Coen brothers shook hands with Li Mu and handed the Palme d'Or into Li Mu's hands.

Li Mu weighed it and found that what he saw and what he got were two different feelings.

The gold palm branches and crystals complement each other, which is indeed a level bigger than the leaves of other awards.

Netizens in China who stayed up late to watch have already exploded.

"Damn, this is Chinese night!"

"Awesome, Li Mu, you really got it."

"Hahahaha, I got the Palme d'Or again after 22 years, awesome!" "."

Compared with the outcry from netizens, Li Mu's inner joy at this moment was no less than that of others.

"Thank you! Thank you! The trophy is very heavy, much heavier than the trophy I won in Cannes. When I was walking on the golden beach before, I could see tall and straight plants like "palm trees" everywhere. At that time I was just thinking, what if this "palm tree" falls and hits me."

Li Mu's slightly humorous speech made the hall burst into laughter.

After all, everyone has seen what Li Mu said, but when you said you thought about a "palm tree" hitting you, you really didn't think about it.

“Now it’s a dream come true, it’s really fallen down, it’s in my hands.

Thank you to the organizing committee, my wife, and everyone on the crew."

As Li Mu's acceptance speech ended, cheers and applause rang out again. In this final lively atmosphere, this year's Cannes finally came to an end.

But for many, this is just the beginning.

Drinking parties, reminiscing about old times, making friends, etc. will all start at this moment.

But at this time, there were only the two of them in the "La La Land" crew. Even Tian Xiaopeng and others left two days before the closing ceremony, so the cocktail party was not as good as a date.

On this night, the small city of Cannes was destined to be hard to sleep, it was extremely lively.

On the domestic side, all major media outlets have already published articles.

Every possibility is written down, you just need to select the corresponding additions and deletions before sending.

News is all about timeliness, even if it is early in the morning in the imperial capital.

""La La Land" won the Palme d'Or, Liu Yifei won the Best Actress at Cannes, and Hou Hsiao-Hsien won the Best Director."

"Chinese-language films dominated Cannes with three awards, and "La La Land" won two awards including Best Actress and Palme d'Or! "Nie Yinniang" won Best Director!"

"After 22 years, after Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine", the Chinese film "La La Land" won the Palme d'Or!"

Basically, all major websites have updated their titles and content, and they are just waiting for netizens to wake up in a few hours.

"La La Land" and Cannes also became hot searches on Weibo.

This year is the year after "Farewell My Concubine" in 1993, when Chinese films won a great victory.

When Li Mu and Liu Yifei were still sleeping soundly in Cannes.

The early birds in the country have already seen the news.

The comment sections of major media platforms are flooded with self-deprecating and awesome comments.

"But I am uneducated and can conquer the world with my awesomeness. I am awesome like Li Mu!!!"

"Palme d'Or, Best Actress, Best Director, so awesome!"

"Now I have to say that I am really awesome."

"."

"Dad, senior brother won the Palme d'Or, and senior sister also won the Best Actress."

Han Jia Nu ran to the hall excitedly to inform Han San Ping
Elsewhere, Ning Hao really didn't believe what he just saw. He wiped his eyes and took a closer look, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Awesome, Lao Li."

"It seems that Director Li is only one Berlin Golden Bear away from winning a Grand Slam."

Xing Aina was also shocked at this moment and couldn't help but think of something.

"It really is"

The news caused discussions within the industry for a long time.

The directors were discussing the Palme d'Or, while the actresses were thinking about the Best Actress trophy.

You must know that this Best Actress trophy was awarded to Maggie Cheung before, but now there is one more person.

There are really not many actresses in the three major film festivals.

In the past 30 years, apart from Maggie Cheung, only Gong Li and Dexian Yip have won the Best Actress at the Venice International Film Festival, and Xiao Fangfang has won the Best Actress at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Even Zhang Ziyi, the country's top star before, did not have the title of Best Actress in the three major film festivals.

This time, the actress circle was shocked.

Previously, Yifei Liu's salary was very high because her movies performed well at the box office, but awards were still a weak point.

Now the last shortcoming has been made up.

"Is life really that good? A suitable movie will be praised."

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but want to scold the three major film festivals. She had participated several times, but none of them had awarded her the best actress award.

Compared with the excitement of the actress, Li Mu's golden palm also stimulates the circle.

You must know that this is the second Palme d'Or after Brother Chen Kai.

When Brother Chen Kai saw this scene from the major media, he felt like he saw himself in 1993 and the jubilant look of the media at that time.

"Give me your phone and say hello"

"It's still early in the morning for them, please leave a message."

Chen Hong was more attentive and suggested.

"Alright!"

"."

Not only Brother Chen Kai, almost all the prominent people in the industry sent congratulations to Li Mu on Weibo.

"The standards of this congratulated team are quite high."

"This shows that the gap between Li Mu and others is not just a tiny bit."

"After all, he is a big shot in the industry, and there is also Mengying Media."

"."

At the same time, Nortel hung up a banner very proudly. The names Li Mu and Liu Yifei were very eye-catching on it.

The students who saw their names couldn't help but feel a little envious, and discussions continued in Nortel.

At this moment, many teachers in Nortel are happy, especially the performance department and the directing department. These two departments are the biggest beneficiaries. Even if they have graduated, it does not affect everyone's face.
