Chapter 225 International Film Queen
Spain, Valladolid.

This is already the third time Gan Jing has come to this country, and it is really an indissoluble bond.

Gan Jing was not expecting to be invited to present the Best Actress Award of this year's film festival. He reckoned that it should be the influence of Cannes Best Actress, and there are Chinese actresses nominated this year. The meaning of the organizers seems quite clear.

The awards day is the first day of September. Gan Jing came two days earlier. To be honest, he has never heard of this film festival. Just like the general public, he is only interested in more famous films such as Oscars and Cannes in the world. Learn more about the section.

Before coming here, he deliberately learned about this film festival and found that it has a long history, but its influence is really not that big, and more of it radiates around Spain.

Such a long-standing film festival does not have an ideal influence, so Gan Jing thought of the domestic awards. The Golden Horse belongs to Taiwan, the Golden Elephant belongs to Hong Kong, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers belongs to the government, and the Shanghai Film Golden Jubilee is currently only in the nature of accompanying runners.

When will there be a domestic film festival comparable to Cannes and Oscars?
Gan Jing stood in the Plaza Mayor, looking at the museum in the distance, feeling a little sad in his heart, how to be inclusive and accumulative so that the award has enough influence?

After worrying like this for a while, he suddenly became happy on his own. Thinking about such things, he seemed a little too worried.

Gan Jing walked a few steps, looked up at the cloudy sky, and prayed in his heart for the film festival the day after tomorrow, hoping that the weather would be fine.

This yellow-skinned figure, which is rare in this city, made several locals stop for a while. They looked at the oriental man who was fading away, and heard his sigh and incomprehensible whispers left in the air.

"It is still necessary to develop the strength of the film industry."

……

On September [-]st, the [-]th Spain Valladolid International Film Festival kicked off.

At 07:30 in the evening, star actors and crews with shortlisted works walked through the opening red carpet one after another. Compared with the many people rubbing the carpet in Cannes, this place is much quieter.

However, the amount of carpet rubbing can sometimes reflect the influence of a film festival.

The opening ceremony of this kind of film festival is naturally not broadcast live in China, but there are still a few reporters who came to the scene here. They have a good relationship with Zhang Yimou, the director of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", who was shortlisted for this film festival.

In other words, a successful and famous director always needs one or two touted media.

"Brother Zhang, why do you think Director Zhang chose this girl? Which school is she from? Beijing Film Academy?" Two reporters who were in charge of taking photos on the red carpet chatted.

Brother Zhang checked the photos he just took, and replied casually: "You don't know? She is a high school student, and it seems that she is going to take the college entrance examination this year."

"Ah? Isn't it Beijing Film? I thought it was a freshman, so what kind of film can this film produce?" The reporter had been reporting on Director Zhang for a long time, and he also had some feelings. Hearing this, he couldn't help worrying about him for a while. Bundle.

"Who knows, anyway, there will be a draft later." Brother Zhang put away the machine slowly, and said with a smile, "Don't guess what the director is thinking, maybe he can really win an international actress."

"I see, it's difficult!"

The slander of the two reporters was not known to Zhang Yimou who was not far away. He was chatting and laughing with a French director he knew at the moment, exchanging his experience about movies in a friendly manner.

In fact, regardless of the halo of awards, sometimes he thinks that such a small film festival meets more interesting people.

As time passed, the gossip in the venue gradually disappeared, and the host on the stage was also ready.

"Welcome everyone to Valladolid."

Sitting next to the crew members, Zhou Dongyu became nervous just after hearing the first opening sentence. She is only a girl in the third year of high school. She had never thought of being selected as a "Mou Girl" before. The festival wasn't very influential, but she still couldn't help but get nervous.

"Dou Xiao, do you think I can win the award?" She asked the male lead next to her.

Uh, expressing the desire for an award so bluntly is not in line with the identity of an artist, because it would be quite embarrassing if he fails to get it, that is why a rookie like Zhou Dongyu has no scruples.

"Should be fine." Dou Xiao is a sophomore at Beijing Film Academy. Unlike Zhou Dongyu, he got the role through public casting, and now he can only say this.

Zhou Dongyu nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. Although she was inexperienced, she could guess from Dou Xiao's expression that he was actually not very optimistic.

Also, winning an award for the first film is not a bit too optimistic.

Sitting in the seat, Zhou Dongyu comforted herself slowly and calmed down a little. However, when each award was announced, she looked enviously at the camera, and then the winners would stand up and embrace the surroundings.

If I win an award, I must be cool and different from others, so I will walk up with a smile and calmly take the trophy as a thank you.

Better just say a word, thank you for my own wonderful performance, hahaha.

The little girl was lost in reverie, and she didn't even notice that the director on the other side had a bad expression on her face. The best film "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" just lost the selection.

The next item is the best actress of the film festival, also known as the best actress.

Zhou Dongyu was still distracted, and didn't hear what the host said at all, but she suddenly became excited, her eyes regained focus, and the focus was on a familiar figure appearing on the stage.

What she didn't hear just now was the host's introductory words - "Next, I invite this year's Cannes Best Actor, Mr. Gan Jing from Huaxia, to present us with the Best Actress award."

Gan Jing was wearing formal attire, a black suit and a bow tie, and Shi Shiran walked from the backstage to the stage.

Since the start of the film festival, he has been careful to hide his figure, for fear of being accidentally spotted by his counterparts from China. Now he is standing by the microphone and holding the envelope with the winners in his hand. Gan Jing saw it with satisfaction. The surprised expressions of the crew members of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree".

Not only those young actors, but also the big director Zhang Yimou.

Hey, that's the feeling, that's the coolness.

Gan Jing's bad taste was satisfied, but he had a very polite smile on his face. He held the envelope and waited for the camera to scan around the shortlisted actors before speaking.

"Who is this year's Best Actress? Who is it? Who is it?" As he spoke, he slowly opened the envelope. From the screen, he could see that several actresses frowned at the same time.

After dismantling the envelope, it turned out to be that name, Gan Jing pretended to be surprised, and scanned the audience.

"Then I announce that this year's Best Actress is..."

"Zhou Dongyu from "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree"!"

Gan Jing showed a sincere smile, and Zhou Dongyu's shocked expression was locked on the big screen, and then she stood up and hugged the director next to her, and then hugged the crew one by one.

She was afraid that she had forgotten the "cool" look she had imagined in her heart just now.

When she stepped onto the stage and came in front of Gan Jing, Gan Jing had been waiting for a long time.

"Congratulations, Ms. Actress."

Gan Jing, the new Best Actor in Cannes, handed over the trophy belonging to the international best actress to Zhou Dongyu, the heroine of "Love in the Hawthorn Tree" from China.
