China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 423 Awards Ceremony, Palme d'Or

Li Yu and his team stayed in Cannes for many days. In addition to tasting delicious food, they also watched many excellent films from all over the world.

Finally, the last Sunday in May has arrived.

The 66th Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony, which has attracted the attention of filmmakers and movie fans around the world, has finally begun.

The ugly daughter-in-law has reached the critical moment of meeting her parents-in-law.

However, compared with domestic award ceremonies, the Cannes award ceremony lacks a sense of tension and excitement.

The organizer will call the team of the winning film the day before the award ceremony and invite them to attend the award ceremony.

Over time, people have become aware of this routine.

Jia Zhanghe was in a good mood today, obviously because he received a call.

He knows that this one is a sure win, but it is still unknown what prize he will win.

But winning any award is a huge honor, as this is one of the most watched film festivals in the world.

"Director Li, you should be able to win an award too, right?"

Jia Zhanghe said with a beaming face.

Whether Li Yu would pose a threat to him or not, it didn’t matter at this moment, he was sure to win the award.

"Maybe."

Li Yu replied calmly.

"congratulations."

Jia Zhanghe blessed.

It’s good, both he and Li Yu can win awards, both sides can achieve their goals, it’s a happy ending.

But he was very curious about what award Li Yu's "Parasite" would win.

Everyone is shortlisted for the main competition unit, but there are not many prizes, so there are too many people and too little prize.

According to Wang Jing, the script of "Parasite" is amazing.

Then the most likely award Li Yu will win is this year's Best Screenplay Award.

There is also a good chance of winning Best Actor or Best Actress.

In his impression, Li Yu once helped Fan Xiaopang win the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Li Yu is well-known in China for his ability to photograph female actresses, and most actresses' acting skills will be improved in Li Yu's works.

Even an actor like Liu Yifei, who is known for his hard work in acting, can show off his dark acting skills in "Dreaming in the Film Circle" and make his fans collectively climax.

It is precisely because of the classic character Qiuya that the fighting power of Tianxian fans has been greatly enhanced in the war of words with fans of other young actresses.

They usually use this sentence to question each other.

"You guys are bragging about your sister's acting skills. How many movies has your sister starred in? Can she play the bitchy role of Qiu Ya?"

This sentence is a decisive blow.

As for those young actresses, their acting skills are really mediocre. Their performances in TV dramas are average, not to mention movies which require higher acting skills.

Moreover, their film resources are quite poor, and they have no access to good resources like "Dreaming in the Film Circle" at all.

Even if they can get the chance, most of them can only play supporting roles and have no chance to play the leading female role.

First of all, the first award presented by the organizer is still Cannes' highest award, the Palme d'Or.

When the host on stage mentioned this award, Jia Zhanghe said with emotion: "More than a thousand films from all over the world compete for this award, it is really too difficult.

Our country's film industry has developed for so many years, but the Palme d'Or is still only won by Director Chen.

I thought Director Chen's Palme d'Or was the beginning of our country's film conquering the three major awards, but I didn't expect it to be the pinnacle."

After saying this, Jia Zhanghe's expression froze, and he looked frightened.

Because the host on the stage solemnly announced to everyone present: "Let us congratulate the crew of "Parasite" from the far east China, congratulate the director Mr. Yuli, and congratulate them for winning the Golden Palm Award at this international film festival." "Director Jia, what peak did you just say?"

Li Yu turned his head and glanced at Jia Zhanghe.

Just now his attention was on the host on the stage, and he really didn't hear clearly what Jia Zhanghe said.

"Nothing... nothing. Congratulations, Director Li. You won the Palme d'Or. You are the second person in our country to receive this honor."

Jia Zhanghe's eyes were filled with envy and yearning.

Too powerful, this is a battle that truly makes one a god.

He could even imagine how glorious it would be the day Li Yu returned home holding the trophy.

Wait...it's broken.

This kid Li Yu won a Palme d'Or. Even if his movie "A Touch of Sin" also won an award, I'm afraid no one would pay attention to him, right?
Reality is so cruel that people tend to only remember the first and the last place, and those in the middle will be automatically ignored.

Thinking of this, the smile on Jia Zhanghe's face turned a little bitter.

"Director Li, please go up on stage to receive your award."

Liang Jiahui, Fan Xiaopang and others all had expressions of deep joy on their faces.

Li Yu responded and slowly walked onto the stage.

Just now, people were shocked when they heard the host give the Palme d'Or to a film crew from East Asia.

This feeling of shock became even stronger when he saw Li Yu's skin color and face.

The director who won the Palme d'Or this year is actually a yellow-skinned person with black hair? And he is a yellow-skinned person from China.

If the white people present were just shocked, then the Silla crew and the Sakura crew, who were also from East Asia, were envious and jealous.

No matter how they feel, it cannot change the fact that Li Yu is holding the Palme d'Or trophy in his hands.

Why not hold it? Because the Palme d'Or trophy is a bit heavy.

The crystal base alone weighs one kilogram, and is inlaid with a golden olive branch that is 13.5 cm high, 9 cm wide, and consists of 19 pieces.

The olive branches and leaves are made of 24k gold, weighing a total of 118 grams.

The olive branches and leaves can be melted and sold for tens of thousands of dollars.

Li Yu held the trophy on the stage and gave an impassioned acceptance speech.

At this moment, Li Yu has become the most anticipated protagonist of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Liang Jiahui, Fan Xiaopang, Jia Zhanghe, Wang Baoqiang and others looked at Li Yu who was talking on the stage. They had an illusion that there was a layer of dazzling golden light on Li Yu at this moment.

"Director Li is really too strong."

Jia Zhanghe looked at Li Yu on the stage and felt that he didn't even dare to think of replacing him.

Because Li Yu's achievements have reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to climb.

Fat Fan looked at Li Yu with a somewhat fiery look in his eyes.

Li Yu did not lie to her. Li Yu said that his goal this time was the highest award in Cannes.

Li Yu has already achieved what he boasted in front of her.

When Li Yu returned to his seat with the trophy, Jia Zhanghe stared at the trophy in Li Yu's hand with shining eyes.

"Director Li, can you let me touch you for two minutes?"

Although it is unlikely that he will win this award in his lifetime, is it okay for him to touch the trophy?
Li Yu hadn't even warmed up the trophy himself, but he generously lent it to Jia Zhanghe to touch it.

Unexpectedly, after being loaned out, a full hour had passed and the trophy still hadn’t returned to Li Yu.

Because it wasn't just Jia Zhanghe who wanted to touch it, Wang Baoqiang and Fan Xiaopang also wanted to touch it, and they wanted to take photos as a souvenir.
