Full-time actor

Chapter 362 [45] Little Grand Slam Best Actor, crowned!
"I have watched Days of Being Wild and In the Mood for Love before, but watching "2046", I still feel the beauty of that kind of shot!"

"..."

Chen Yu was chatting awkwardly with Wang Jiawei at the private dinner of Chinese filmmakers.

But the Sunglasses King's praise for Chen Yu was obviously very useful.

In the deep dinner hall, he was still wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on his face.

There is no one who doesn’t like to hear compliments.

For Lao Wang, who always wants to dress cool, he is so used to the flattery of others that he later produced "The Ferryman" so bad that he even asked the entire Chinese-speaking film industry to give him a compliment. "We all love it" compliments!

It can be regarded as the last fig leaf to cover such a film master.

However, a guy who jumped out and said "I don't like it" almost faced being banned.

Chen Yu admitted that Wang Jiawei is worthy of the title of "master" and has a pivotal position in the global film industry.

Gong Li was also at this table, but she was sitting far away on the other side, chatting with Wang Fei.

A pure person like Chen Yu cannot understand this circle.

At that time, he was indeed pursuing stories and artistry; but now, he is obsessed with his past works and cannot extricate himself.

This idea is getting stronger now.

Kimura Takuya is currently the top player in Asia.

Wang Jiawei took a puff of cigarette, but his heart became bitter.

Wang Jiawei suddenly said from the side, and everyone who was originally discussing suddenly looked at Lao Mouzi.

Why do you have to work so hard when you can make money standing up?

"Summer vacation is quite suitable..."

To put it mildly, it is for personal pursuit, but in fact, the pictures are not very good. Instead, it is a waste of manpower and material resources. Why bother? !
"Chen Yu, you are really suitable for filming my movie!"

The two of them were just chatting.

In this case, "2046" will definitely not be able to have a summer vacation. He thinks he is awesome, but it is impossible to compete with Lao Mouzi.

"The Grandmaster" took 10 years to prepare for filming. If it were Lao Mouzi, he would have made 20 films.

The story of Bruce Lee and Ip Man is the most suitable idea for a commercial film in his mind. He has had this idea since 01, but he watched Lao Mouzi's "House of Flying Daggers" a few days ago, which stimulated him a little.

He looked at Liang Chaowei and then at Chen Yu. In his mind, wasn't this the best candidate for Ip Man and Bruce Lee? !
"Chen Yu!"

This is a joke.

The summer season is a special period in any era when the box office is very high.

But these are really Wang Jiawei's style in his early years.

In terms of box office, there is no comparison between the two. How can a literary film compare with a commercial film?
This is why Wang Jiawei has always wanted to make a movie that is both good-looking and popular.

Many of the people here are probably the most famous filmmakers in Hong Kong.

Many people present laughed.

"If it is to be released globally, it depends on where it is distributed in the United States and what price it can be sold for the day after tomorrow!"

"Release, which side do you mean? China or the world?"

Like Chen Yu, it was Zhang Manyu who didn't talk much and laughed from time to time. The one who kept the atmosphere the whole time was, of course, Liu Dehua.

"For China, it should be summer vacation!"

"Hahaha!"

Lao Wang feels miserable!

Filmmaking is taking longer and longer.

And the person sitting next to Chen Yu is quite smart!

"You have that artistic aura about you that attracts people, you know?"

shoot!
No matter what, we must make a masterpiece with high box office.

After seeing Chen Yu's performance in the movie, he couldn't wait.

He is the second male lead in "2046". Because Chen Yu can speak Japanese, he was placed next to him.

Even Chen Yu is no exception.

Of course, he didn't want to understand, so he was unusually silent. Apart from laughing, he just listened quietly; Wang Fei liked to gossip, Zhang Ziyi was very active, Zhang Zhen loved to joke, Liu Jialing always whispered to Liang Chaowei, and Liang Chaowei From time to time, he would glance at Chen Yu.

Whether it's "Happy Together", "Chungking Express", "Ashes of Time", "In the Mood for Love", or even "Days of Being Wild", they are all masterpieces that Chen Yu admires in his heart.

"Yimou, when are you going to release it?"

Although Lao Mouzi is great, he still has to choose a time slot. Although his box office appeal is currently top one in Asia, it would definitely be good if the box office could be higher.

It can be seen that she and Lao Mouzi should have settled their differences, otherwise, her ex-girlfriend would definitely not come to this occasion; appearing here is only a signal that the two of them have restored their friendship in private?
Chen Yu didn't know this. After all, two years later, the two began to collaborate on movies again.

Du Qifeng at the table next to me felt a bit like a dwarf; Chen Huilin was indeed worse, let alone Zha Zhahui.

Wang Jiawei smiled and said to Chen Yu. Zhang Yimou next to him couldn't help but said: "Director Jiawei said this to many people. This is how Ziyi was abducted into "2046" by her!"

Liang Chaowei on the side suddenly raised his glass to Chen Yu. Chen Yu quickly picked up the drink in front of him and smiled at him: "Brother Tony, just call me Yuzi!"

"What a chance to work together!"

"Ok!"

Chen Yu touched him, but Wang Fei next to him whispered to Zhang Ziyi and Liu Jialing: "Do you think it is possible for Wei Zai to win the Best Actor at Cannes?"

"That must be true. He is the one who has the loudest voice for winning the award!"

Liu Jialing said with a smile, and Zhang Ziyi next to her also nodded: "Wei Zai's chances of getting it are indeed very high. If he gets another one, he will be a double actor!"

After saying this, Zhang Ziyi was filled with envy.

After all, although she is now more popular than Tony Leung, she has yet to win an international movie queen.

This time, she also wanted to have an impact.

With the two movies "2046" and "House of Flying Daggers", she feels that she should also have a role.

But those who competed with her include Gong Li, Zhang Manyu, and South Korea's Sung Hyun-ah. Her shortlisted film "Women Are Men's Future" had a great advantage in winning awards.

After all, this movie is about the heroine, telling the story of a woman dealing with two men.

While "2046" was too thin, she did have enough roles in "House of Flying Daggers", but martial arts films are known to have a low probability of winning awards.

"Didn't I promise that the prizes would be out before 8 o'clock?"

"Why haven't you received the notification yet?"

Liu Jialing suddenly looked at her watch, and Wang Jiawei next to her also took out his mobile phone: "As I said before, it will definitely come out at 8pm the night before the awards ceremony. I don't know why it's so late this time!"

"Quentin!"

"He is always different from others!"

Zhang Yimou laughed: "It's too topical. We need to change the soup without changing the medicine. Every movie has to find some buzz..."

Either Yuzu, or violence.

"A few days ago, he shouted "Long Live the Movie" and danced on the red carpet with Ashwila, and now the whole world knows about it!"

“A little joy!”

The chairman of the jury has no airs at all, and he is probably the only one who can do it and dance closely with female stars on the red carpet. He never cares about any criticism from the outside world and lives a more casual life!
Jiang Wen can become good friends with him, and their temperaments are really similar in some aspects.

Jingle Bell!
At this time, the mobile phone next to Zhang Manyu suddenly rang. She was slightly stunned, and then picked up the phone.

After a few seconds, her face looked shocked and her mouth opened wide in disbelief.

"..."

Everyone also looked at her. Zhang Ziyi seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly froze.

"Ahhh!"

Sure enough, the moment Zhang Manyu put down the phone, she raised her hands excitedly.

Everyone understood now.

"Maggie, best actress?"

Liu Jialing looked at her with excitement, and Zhang Manyu nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, yes, best actress!"

"Ahhh!"

At this moment, Wang Fei and Liu Jialing both rushed forward and hugged her tightly excitedly.

"Congratulations!"

"Maggie, it's a treat!"

Wang Jiawei said loudly, and countless people applauded. At this time, Gong Li and Zhang Yimou also received calls. Wang Jiawei, who was originally smiling, looked a little unnatural.

Liang Chaowei also pursed his lips and said nothing, obviously feeling a little nervous inside.

It seems that the organizing committee has begun to announce the awards one by one.

The phone call that Zhang Manyu just received was from her ex-husband Olivier Assayas. Generally speaking, the day before the Cannes Awards Ceremony, after the various awards are announced, the organizing committee will send people to them as soon as possible. Contact the show's producer.

Olivier Assayas is a famous French director, and "Clean" is a film he tailor-made for his ex-wife.

"Senior, Best Actress?"

Chen Yu watched Gong Li sit down with a smile after answering the phone. Others also looked at her curiously.

Zhang Ziyi was staring at Lao Mouzi who was on the phone. Looking at his grin, it seemed that "House of Flying Daggers" should have won the award.

She didn't think Gong Li could win the Best Actress award because her role in "2046" was quite small.

If you can get it this way, there is no need to go to Cannes; which Cannes best actress doesn't have a lot of female leads or double leads in the movie? !
The script she is looking forward to the most is Double Yolk Egg.

Zhang Manyu won the Best Actress, which does not mean that there is only one Best Actress in this year's Cannes. There have been various double-yolk and triple-yolk eggs in the history of Cannes. The most outrageous thing is that 11 were born in one year. The actor's.

Of course, it was still the first few editions, and Cannes was not as well-known as it is now.

Since Cannes became one of the world's three major film festivals in 1960, there has only been one four-time Best Actor, while the others have been either three Best Actors, or two Best Actors.

"No, I just won a special grand prize!"

"Tell me to commend my contribution to the Cannes Film Festival!"

"Haha, that's fine too. Congratulations, you are the first Chinese to win a special award!"

In fact, this award is more to make up for her regret of missing out on the Best Actress Award many times!

"It's definitely better than nothing!"

Gong Li didn't know whether he said this on purpose or unintentionally.

Many people present looked a little unhappy, including Liang Chaowei and Zhang Ziyi, especially Zhang Ziyi. She always felt that Gong Li's words were directed at her.

At this time, Zhang Yimou had also finished the phone call, with a proud look on his face. Obviously, "House of Flying Daggers" should have won the award.

"One plot, big prize?"

Wang Jiawei won the Best Director at Cannes for "In the Mood for Love". There is no need to be jealous, but he is a little unbalanced in his heart, but there is still a smile on his face.

"No, there is no chance of winning the grand prize, just like you!"

"director?"

Wang Jiawei was so shocked this time that he almost took off his sunglasses.

"Well, best director!"

"Chen Yu!"

Zhang Yimou suddenly laughed and said to Chen Yu: "Have you ever thought about whether you can win another Best Actor?"

"Ok?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone raised their heads and looked at Chen Yu who was silent on the side.

Liang Chaowei glanced at him, but Liu Dehua smiled heartlessly.

He remembered the scene at the Golden Horse Awards at the end of last year. He didn't expect that Wei Zai would be here today.

"..."

Liang Chaowei really wants to know if Chen Yu won the award!
Chen Yu also shook his head and said in disbelief: "No, it shouldn't be a big deal to win the best martial arts film -"

"The best actor!"

""House of Flying Daggers" won 3 awards!"

Zhang Yimou's smiling face had wrinkles like a chrysanthemum, while Chen Yu was stunned.

Damn it, is it true?
"Best Director, Best Actor, and the third Jury Prize!"

The Palme d'Or, the Grand Prix of the Jury, and the following is the Jury Prize.

That is, the first, second and third place in the main competition section of Cannes!
For a moment, everyone stared at Chen Yu blankly, and a look of unwillingness flashed across Liang Chaowei's face.

Until now, no calls have come in from the mobile phone on Wang Jiawei's desk.

In other words, "2046" failed to win anything at Cannes this time.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Liu Dehua suddenly stood up elegantly, clapped his hands aside, with a very sincere smile on his face: "This time, we Chinese in Cannes have a great harvest!"

Best director again, the jury award, the special award, and the best actor and actress?

Five grand prizes, what is this if not a great harvest?
"Yuzai, congratulations!"

"Are you a double Best Actor? Oh, no, someone told me a few days ago, yes, a minor Grand Slam, a minor Grand Slam Best Actor!"

Liu Dehua pointed at Chen Yu, as if he was telling Liang Chaowei specifically.

This move is so damaging!

Do you want to stab people in the heart? Hua Zai, you are specifically going to stab Wei Zai in the heart!
However, Chen Yu likes this title - Little Grand Slam Best Actor!

Yes, from this moment on, he is the only actor in China who has won the Best Actor Award at the three major film festivals in the world.

Although one is a countercurrent, the countercurrent is also a flow.

Quasi-Grand Slam and Minor Grand Slam, this is consistent.

"The next step is a Grand Slam, or - Grand Slam, Golden Slam!"

Chen Yu grinned, feeling more fulfilled than ever before!

This rebirth is worth it!
