China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 94 Golden Palm

The Cannes Film Festival awards are divided into three sections, the short film section, Un Certain Regard, and the main competition section.

The order of awards is from low to high, and so is the importance. The short film unit is a dessert that warms up the main competition unit.

The Swedish film "The Neverending Madame" won the Short Film Jury Prize for Best Short Film, and the short film Palme d'Or was won by the French director "The Island of Lament".

Giacomo, who has been living in short films for a long time, has gained nothing. The International Film Critics Award was awarded to the film Agnes Kossis, the Jury Prize was awarded to [October], and the best film went to South Korean director Hong Sang-soo's film [Summer]. Xia Xia】Get it.

The South Koreans at the scene were much more energetic.

Lin Gao observed Section Chief Jia's expression. He was disappointed but not sad. It could be seen that he had lost motivation in pursuing the award.

Also, after material wealth, the spirit of a great director will be corrupted. Of course he will be happy if he can get it, but he will not be sad if he cannot get it.

After the awards for the two units were announced, it was already late at Cannes, but the most competitive main competition unit had just begun.

"It's our turn." Liu Yifei said nervously, "Can we get the award?"

Lin Gao didn't know either. He didn't know what the jury thought.He held Liu Yifei's small white hand with his big hand and said, "There will definitely be one."

Liu Yifei glared at Lin Gao coquettishly, and Brother Lin knew he was taking advantage of her.

The International Film Critics' FIPRESCI Award was awarded to the French director's film "The Tour", the Golden Camera was awarded to the Mexican director's "Leap Year", and the Technical Award was won by "Extermination".

Every time the judges did not announce the title of Parasite, Liu Yifei's beautiful eyes would show a hint of disappointment.

Lin Gao saw this, held Liu Yifei's little hand tightly and said, "The big prizes are all behind you, don't be in a hurry."

Liu Yifei pouted and muttered: "It's better to win an award first."

Of course she knows that the following awards are all big prizes, but the latter awards are also difficult to win!
It's not like there's nothing left to gain, Liu Yifei's mood is getting more and more uneasy.

People are like this and will not be satisfied with the present. When the film first entered the competition, Liu Yifei thought it would be great if it was selected. But if it was selected, she wanted to get some awards back.

Liu Yifei is destined to be disappointed.

The Jury Prize was awarded to the film "The Screaming Man" directed by French.

The best screenplay award went to South Korean director and screenwriter Lee Chang-dong for his film "Poetry".

After the award was awarded, all the South Koreans present were overjoyed, and every South Korean director, actor, and screenwriter could not hide their joy.

They are the only Asian country that has gained something at the scene. Japan and China have gained nothing so far. As long as there are no troubles later, they have a chance to become the winners in Asia.

The Best Actress award went to French actress Juliette Binoche.

Western reporters frantically pressed their shutters to take pictures of Juliet lifting the trophy.

The three major awards of Cannes, Berlin and Golden Lion were gathered together, and the first female actress with a Grand Slam in history was born!
Juliet was also very emotional and her voice choked up when she spoke.

Is this the biggest news tonight?Domestic reporters had the same thought.

The Best Actor award was awarded to two people, Spanish actor Javier Bardem and bi-national actor Elliman Genoao.

The double-yolked egg was news, but it couldn't compare with Juliet's three-time Best Actress, the reporters secretly said.

The best director award went to French director Mathieu Amalric.

There are only two awards left: the Jury Award and the Palme d'Or. The South Koreans are beaming. Although the awards have not been awarded yet, they can already seal the victory. They do not believe that the Chinese and Japanese can have the last laugh.

On the contrary, Liu Yifei's pretty face could not hide her disappointment, and her bright eyes dimmed a little.

Only the Grand Jury Prize and the Palme d'Or were left. Although they looked more attractive, there were countless famous directors lying at their feet, and Liu Yifei's confidence was seriously lacking. "It's not over yet, there are still two grand prizes." Lin Gao said calmly. He did not believe that the Palme d'Or in 19 years would be nothing in 10 years.

Lin Gao felt that there would definitely be one, but he didn’t know whether it would be the Palme d’Or or the Jury Prize.

"Brother Lin said that just now." Liu Yifei said dissatisfiedly, which made her look forward to it for a long time, but in the end she didn't get any awards.

"A bet?" Lin Gao raised his eyebrows and asked confidently.

"Bet...what are you betting on?" Seeing Lin Gao's confidence, Liu Yifei subconsciously panicked.

"If I win, you promise me a request. If I lose, I promise you a request." Lin Gao replied.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and agreed, then added: "But this request cannot be too excessive!"

"How could I make such excessive demands?" Lin Gao looked as if he had been humiliated.

After coming over for a while, Lin Gao asked Liu Yifei tentatively: "Is it too much for you to wear Xiao Longnu's clothes and ask me to take them off one by one?"

Liu Yifei's fair and tender face was filled with blood, and she asked angrily: "What do you think?"

If you don’t agree, you won’t agree. Why are you so fierce?Lin Gao shook his head.

After a while, he asked without giving up: "Is it okay to take off half of it?"

"No, no! A bamboo door is a bamboo door, and a wooden door is a wooden door. Brother Lin's request is just not allowed!!!" Liu Yifei's pretty face was bright red, and she was eye-catching.

During the discussion between the two, the jury award was awarded to the French director "Gods and Men".

There's only one award left, the Palme d'Or!

Lin Gao knew what he was doing and said to Liu Yifei: "I will agree to any request you make. It's no problem to wear Yin Zhiping's Taoist robe and take it off for you."

Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why is Brother Lin's heart so big? There is only one award left, so he is not nervous.

"Brother Lin, you are going to lose, and you are still joking." Liu Yifei muttered.

"Please have some confidence in Brother Lin, okay? How dare Sissi say that I lose until the last moment?"

As soon as Lin Gao finished speaking, the host on the awards stage raised the microphone and announced.

“The winner of the 63rd Cannes Palme d’Or is the young Chinese director Lin Gao for his work Parasite!!!”

"Look, Brother Lin, you lose..." Liu Yifei's words were stuck. The host seemed to have reported Brother Lin's name just now?
Did I hear it wrong?

Lin Gao leaned over and pecked the side of Liu Yifei's face, teasing in his ear: "Can I take off Zhao Ling'er's costume?"

Before Lin Gao could react, Lin Gao stood up straight, adjusted his clothes, and said, "Sissi, maybe one day in the future I will grow old and I will lose, but not today!"

"Today I want to use the stage of Cannes to tell the film industry around the world that there is a director named Lin Gao in China!"

Liu Yifei's head felt dizzy from the beginning, and then she could only squint to see Lin Gao's figure. The light behind Lin Gao was so bright that she couldn't open her eyes.

But she feels that she will never forget this scene and this paragraph even when she is 60 years old!

Brother Lin won the award!
Brother Lin will be the director of the Palme d'Or in the future!
The only Palme d'Or director in China! ! !
At this moment, Liu Yifei no longer had any doubts about Lin Gao's talent.

　There were four rounds on Friday, and the editor said it would be on the shelves on Saturday. I said forget it, and it will be on the shelves on Wednesday. It’s free for four more days, so praise me (proud face)!
