China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 161 Unprecedented!

"Sao or Dao Sao Lin, you can say this."

"Although I really don't like seeing Director Lin dressed up*, I support Director Lin this time!"

"Get awards, win awards, conquer Cannes."

……

Weibo netizens actively left messages in the comment area.

The cause was that at [-]pm Kyoto time, Lin Gao updated a message on Weibo: "The plan has changed, prepare to win the award."

Lin Gao's fans and Heizi were all excited, and passers-by who browsed Lin Gao's Weibo also felt a little agitated.

"Come on, Director Lin, I hope to see the news of winning the award when I open my eyes tomorrow."

“Support Director Lin!!!”

"Rush, rush, rush."

Han Wei looked at Lin Gao's Weibo and smiled bitterly. Her reports to cool down the netizens were in vain. Lin Gao had cut off his own escape route. She didn't dare to think about what Lin Gao would do if he failed.

But since Lin Gao dared to post like this, he must have received some news, right?
Thinking of this, Han Wei couldn't help but look forward to it.

It's [-]pm Cannes time and [-]am Kyoto time.

The participating directors and actors dressed up to attend the Cannes awards ceremony. Liu Yifei and Yang Mi sat on either side of Lin Gao.

When Lin Gao entered the stage, he could feel the gazes of everyone present, but there was one gaze that was staring directly at Lin Gao. It was the South Korean director Hong Sang-soo, whom he had met once in the previous session.

Hong Changxiu is similar to Jia Zhangke in that he is very knowledgeable in low-cost art films, which usually cost around US$10 to shoot and are very popular overseas.

His eyes stayed on Lin Gao for a long time and it became quite annoying.

You're not wearing a topless top, why are you staring at me?
Lin Gao wanted to step forward and ask politely: "What are you looking at?"

But the awards banquet had already begun, so we had no choice but to give up.

Hong Changxiu stared at the young Chinese not far away. He did not expect that he would come again this year, and it would be the main competition. He witnessed Lin Gao win the Palme d'Or last year. Will he witness it again this year?
"Blue Tenderness" was well received. The judges and the audience rarely unanimously praised it. It can be said that it is almost guaranteed to win the grand prize.

Hong Changxiu was a little broken. It was a happy thing to be selected for Cannes, but what's the point of witnessing you Chinese winning awards all the time?

On the Cannes awards stage, the host awarded three awards in the film cornerstone unit.

Two were taken by South Korea and one went to France.

While awarding awards on the stage, Liu Yifei said to Yang Mi: "The process of awarding awards at the Cannes Film Festival is very fast, and it is completed in one hour."

High-end showing off often adopts the simplest way of showing off.

Lin Gao's eyelids twitched. Was Liu Yifei taking revenge on Yang Mi for not supporting her as the C position?

Yang Mi's face turned dark and she ignored Liu Yifei. This was indeed her first time attending the Cannes awards ceremony.

The short film unit has also been awarded, with Belgium receiving a special mention and France winning the Palme d'Or for short film.

France deserves to be the artistic mecca of directors. You can always see French directors at the Cannes Film Festival.

In "One Attention", France showed its dominance. Among the three awards, French people stood. South Korea's Kim Ki-duk and France's Andilias Delisen shared the best film award equally.

The main competition unit is placed last.

Yang Mi began to get nervous and her body became slightly stiff. The first time was about to come, so nervousness was inevitable.

Liu Yifei was no better than Yang Mi. Although it was not the first time, she was still a little nervous.Lin Gao held their hands and said, "The three of us are nervous together and relaxed together."

Liu Yifei felt warm in her heart, Brother Lin is so kind.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes at Lin Gao coquettishly, wouldn't it be better to go to bed together?But he didn't say anything and let Lin Gao hold his hand.

The Virgo Golden Camera Award was awarded to the Argentinian director's "Acacia", the Jury Prize and Best Actor were awarded to France's "Police Officer" and "Artist", and the Best Actress Award was awarded to the American "Melancholy" disease】.

After the Best Actress award came out, Lin Gao could feel the loss of the two women. Which actress doesn't expect to have a Cannes Best Actress?

Lin Gao could only use his big hands to convey warmth and comfort.

The award for best screenplay went to an Israeli film [footnote].

"The Best Director award goes to [Gentle Blue]." The host applauded after finishing his words.

Hong Changxiu looked ecstatic. There was only Best Director, but no Palme d'Or!

Compared to the double Palme d'Or miracle, the Best Director award is much easier to accept.

The Cannes Film Festival is wonderful again tonight.

Quack, quack, quack….

Hong Changxiu laughed like a duck in her heart.

Lin Gao was also very surprised in his heart, how could there be only the best director?Aren’t Cannes organizers afraid of being scuppered by feminist organizations?
The decision of the jury could no longer be changed, and Lin Gao accepted to go on stage to receive the award.

If you win the Palme d'Or and become the best director, you won't be ruined by domestic trolls, right?
In fact, the best director award is okay...

Returning to her seat, Liu Yifei congratulated Lin Gao, while Yang Mi was a little aggrieved. No one would be happy if the Palme d'Or actor was gone.

On the podium, the award ceremony was going on.

The Jury Prize, the runner-up prize, was awarded to "The Boy on a Bicycle" by the Zinet brothers and "The Tree of Life" by Terrence Malick.

Hong Changxiu's inner smile suddenly stopped, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

There are three popular Palme d'Or films. The first is "Warm Blue" by the Chinese boy, the second is "Tree of Life" by Terrence Malick, and the third is "Bicycle Boy" by the Zine brothers. The rest of the movies that won the title were called upsets.

Although Hong Changxiu didn't want to admit it, he thought so in his heart.

When [Boy on a Bicycle] and [Tree of Life] tied for second prize, they have lost the qualification to receive the first prize palm.

Could it be that...the Cannes jury wants to award two awards to that Chinese boy? !
It has happened many times in Cannes that a film won two awards. In 1991, a film by the Coen Brothers won the Best Actor and Best Director. At that time, the French director Jacques Sievert was the victim. He originally thought he would win the Palme d'Or. Already received in hand.

As a result, the Coen Brothers won the Palme d'Or, Best Director and Best Actor for one film!

Now that there is a precedent, it would not be surprising if the Cannes jury would do it again.

"Lin Gao..., us." Yang Mi was so nervous that her voice was dry. This feeling of regaining something made her so excited that her cheeks turned red, making her extremely charming.

She and Hong Changxiu had the same idea. Did the cooked duck fly back?
"Shh, don't talk and listen."

The host announced loudly: "The winning film of the 64th Palme d'Or is [Warm Blue]!"

Hong Changxiu looked at the Chinese boy who stood up with great glory. The scene at the Cannes Film Festival was like a crater, which made him extremely uncomfortable. Thousands of words were stuck in his throat and condensed into three words.

"Ah, Xiba!!!"
