That year Huayu

The closing ceremony red carpet has begun.

The shouts outside were deafening, which clearly showed the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.

One by one, the crew walked onto the red carpet, and most of them were there to promote the movie, not to compete.

Among several Chinese-language films, apart from "The Star", "Martial Arts" received the most official attention from Cannes.

After all, the latter is a selected film in the "Midnight Screening Unit".

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", "The Favorite", "Snowflakes and the Secret Fan", and many others stepped onto the red carpet one after another.

Chen Kexin led Zhen Zidan, Tang Wei, and Hui Yinghong as they passed by Lin Nan.

Hui Yinghong and Tang Wei took the initiative to greet Lin Nan, while Chen Kexin and Zhen Zidan had no choice but to nod in greeting.

…

When Lin Nan and the other two walked onto the red carpet, the media on both sides were instantly agitated.

As everyone knows, this is the film crew of the competition section, and "The Fault in Our Stars" most likely received an "unspoken" invitation!

The domestic media waved their hands desperately.

Lin Nan, Liu Yifei, and Liu Xiaoli stopped for a few seconds, looked at them, and gave them time to take pictures.

The sixth princess is still awesome, she is not outside the isolation fence, but inside, right next to the red carpet!

"Director Lin, Yifei, Ms. Liu, come on tonight!"

"Thanks."

…………

On the red carpet of the closing ceremony, every film crew from the competition unit who came here would be stopped by the host for an interview.

"Star" is no exception.

"Lin, you won the Golden Lion the first time you went to Venice. Are you confident of winning the Palme d'Or tonight?"

Hearing this, Lin Nan smiled and shook his head.

"No matter what award I get, it is the Cannes Film Festival's recognition of me."

The female host was obviously a little surprised by this smooth answer, but she didn't ask any more questions.

"Good luck tonight."

"Thanks."

The three of them continued forward until they stopped in front of the signature wall.

At this time, Liu Yifei was already a little nervous. After all, this was her first chance to win an award, and it was at Cannes.

Liu Xiaoli, on the other hand, acted with ease, as if she didn't have much thought about the trophy. After all, when she played the role of mother in "The Star", it was her daughter who forced her to do so.

…………

Tonight's awards ceremony in Cannes was bigger than what Lin Nan had seen in Venice and Berlin before. Of course, there were more guests present.

A staff member was guiding them from the front, leading Lin Nan and the three of them to the front seat in the middle, the fourth row.

Zhou Xun was far away, waving to this side, and Liu Yifei also responded.

Those domestic crews are relatively far behind. After all, the first few rows are filled with crews from participating films.

Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei sat inside, and Lin Nan sat near the aisle.

The guests on the red carpet entered one after another, and the time was getting closer and closer to the official start.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but hold Lin Nan's hand.

"You said you're not nervous, haha."

Lin Nan joked, earning a fierce look from Miss Liu.

Liu Xiaoli on the other side also smiled and shook her head.

Not long after, the chairman of the jury, Robert De Niro, came up.

"Welcome filmmakers from all over the world to gather in Cannes today. Tonight, we will award a new Palme d'Or..."

For nearly an hour, all the final films including the "Cornerstone Unit", "Focus Unit"... and "Competition Unit" were introduced on the stage.

Finally, the main event came.

Awards for non-competition units will be awarded first.

Lin Nan had to admit that he was a little restless.

The awards introduction of the Cannes Film Festival and the trophies for different awards appeared on the big screen.

Lin Nan's attention fell on the competition unit.

The trophies in the competition unit are all solid gold olive branches, but the sizes are different.

The Golden Palm trophy for Best Film is 13.5 cm long, 9 cm wide, weighs 118 grams, has 19 leaves, is made of 24K pure gold, and the base is a one kilogram clear crystal.

The trophies for other awards are also 24K pure gold olive branches, but the size is only about one-third of the Palme d'Or trophy, and the crystal used as the base is also much smaller.

Of course, in addition to the trophy, there are also corresponding certificates.

At this time, the award ceremony on stage has entered the "Attention" section.

"Best Picture, Arirang, Kim Ki-duk. Congratulations!"

…………

Liu Yifei held Lin Nan's hand tighter.

"Lin Nan, we are about to go to the competition unit."

"Why, the heroine is a little nervous?"

"I'm not nervous. Tell me, what prize can we win?"

Liu Yifei asked softly.

The awards in the main competition unit are better at the end, and she knows this.

Before Lin Nan could say anything, the award ceremony for the competition unit had already begun.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei immediately sat up straight.

A member of the jury walked up to the stage, opened the envelope, and read aloud:

"The winner of the Best Supporting Actress Award is: "The Fault in Our Stars", XiaoLiLiu..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Nan's mind went crazy!

Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at Liu Xiaoli. The latter looked confused and her eyes were filled with confusion!

"Mom, you won the prize..."

At this moment, Liu Yifei had no other thoughts in her mind, only excitement. Her mother won the award!

Among the guests, those who came from China also looked at Lin Nan and Liu Xiaoli with their mouths open.

Good guy! I got a trophy for my mother-in-law in Cannes!

"Director Lin is so awesome now. Even if he only has this trophy, it will be a good story if word spreads."

Zhou Xun couldn't help but said something.

Zhang Ziyi, Li Bingbing, Fan Bingbing, including Jia Zhangke, Chen Kexin and others all looked shocked.

The award ceremony was still being read on stage, saying that Liu Xiaoli had performed a mother's selfless, sincere, and careful motherly love for her daughter...

"You are acting in your true colors, can you do a good job?"

Lin Nan came to his senses now and quickly reminded Liu Xiaoli.

"Auntie, it's time to go on stage..."

Liu Xiaoli nodded subconsciously, stood up, walked past Liu Yifei and Lin Nan, and walked towards the award podium step by step.

It can be seen that Liu Xiaoli did not think about winning the award at all, but it turned out that she won the award, so she was not even prepared.

"I, to be honest, never thought I would win the award."

On the stage, Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter, whose face was full of excitement, and Lin Nan, who was also smiling next to her, and felt an inexplicable sense of fulfillment...

"Sissi, Lin Nan, thank you..."

Liu Xiaoli thought of the dependence she had had with her daughter over the years and the real emotions brought into the plot, which made her feel a little sad for a moment.

"Thank you Liu Yifei, thank you Lin Nan, thank you Cannes..."

She raised the trophies and certificates in her hands, letting herself smile and covering up her emotions...

Lin Nan took the lead in giving applause, and then led to the applause of the entire audience.

Liu Xiaoli walked down and returned to her seat.

"Mom, your eyes are a little red." Liu Yifei said with a smile.

"Damn girl, you're looking for a beating, right..."

Liu Xiaoli retorted angrily, her voice was a little hoarse, it was too embarrassing for her daughter to see through.

"Lin Nan, thank you. I didn't expect that after so many years, I would receive the award again at Cannes..."

Liu Xiaoli said softly, feeling a lot of emotions for a while.

"Auntie is too kind."

Lin Nan said with a smile.

He heard Liu Yifei talk about the reasons why Liu Xiaoli left the stage, her personality, family, pursuits, and more, Liu Yifei...

In the past, Liu Xiaoli often received awards.

The awards continue.

"The winner of the Best Actor Award is: Jean Dujardin..."

Lin Nan breathed out the breath he was holding.

Liu Yifei held Lin Nan's hand tightly, comforting him and cheering herself up.

"The winner of the Best Actress Award is: Kristen Dunst..."

Lin Nan could feel that Liu Yifei's hand relaxed for a moment, feeling soft and a little weak.

"Didn't I say that if you can't do it once, just do it twice, and I will help you win the Best Actress."

Liu Yifei raised her head and glanced at Lin Nan, her eyes a little disappointed and regretful, but in an instant, hope burst out.

"Well, if you don't succeed once, try twice. Aren't many seniors like this?"

Liu Yifei nodded and began to comfort herself, feeling like drinking chicken soup.

"But there was something rewarding today, at least mom got a prize."

Liu Yifei leaned on Liu Xiaoli's shoulder and smiled, and the latter looked at her daughter dotingly.

The Best Director Award has arrived on stage.

Everyone cheered up instantly, because Lin Nan also had this hope.

Gu Changwei, Zhou Xun and others also glanced over unconsciously.

"The winner of the Best Director Award is: "Drive", Nicholas..."

Well, Lin Nan gave up at this moment.

He has absolutely no confidence in winning the Palme d'Or. The probability is too small.

The sound of high heels came from the awards podium.

Including Lin Nan, everyone who came from China looked over.

The judging panel for awarding awards has been changed.

Shi Nansheng!

Lin Nan looked at the award podium with wide eyes, and his breathing became a little short.

He remembered that in Berlin, it was Shi Nansheng who gave him the award, and when it was his time, he replaced it.

"Lin Nan?" Liu Yifei called softly.

The Palme d'Or and the Grand Jury Prize are film awards, not individual awards.

"The winner of the Jury Prize is: The Fault in Our Stars, congratulations."

"Lin Nan!" Liu Yifei shouted happily, with a blush on her face.

Lin Nan did not answer, but stood up, looked at Liu Yifei with a smile, and then stretched out a hand. The latter smiled sweetly and held it.

"You go up, I won't go."

Liu Xiaoli said warmly, her daughter and Lin Nan can just go up, and she will not interfere with the camera.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei both understood what Liu Xiaoli meant.

"Sissi, let's go."

"Um."

The two walked to the awards podium.

"Director Lin really won his second trophy for this movie!"

Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbing and others all had smiles on their faces. They thought they had a good relationship with Lin Nan.

Chen Kexin was a little speechless. In terms of awards at international film festivals, Hong Kong's talents are withering. He himself can't compare...

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei stood in front of Shi Nansheng.

"She is indeed a beautiful girl."

Shi Nansheng smiled and whispered.

"thank you."

Lin Nan received the certificate, and Liu Yifei received the solid gold olive branch trophy.

The certificates for film awards are different from those for individual awards.

This is sent to the movie and contains specific movie information, as well as the main creators.

For example, the certificate in Lin Nan's hand contains director, starring, and producer.

Okay, just three names in total.

Lin Nan plays two roles, director and male lead, Liu Yifei is the producer and female lead, and there is Liu Xiaoli.

As for Zhu Yawen, Cannes believes that his role is a bit small and he is not enough to be considered a supporting role...

Just when the two were about to speak, Shi Nansheng stopped them and said that he still had something to say.

She smiled and introduced to the people below: "They are the director and producer of "The Star", as well as the male and female protagonists, and they are a pair of lovers..."

People who gossip have no distinction of nationality. As soon as Shi Nansheng finished speaking, the scene burst into violent applause.

Beautiful things always bless more people.

At this moment, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were very satisfied, the jury award was enough!

…………

When giving his acceptance speech, Lin Nan didn't know what he was thinking. His mind twitched and he said that he would come to Cannes again in the future. He wanted the Palme d'Or...

These words made everyone burst into louder applause. Even Liu Yifei covered her mouth and kept laughing.

Return to position.

Liu Yifei happily hugged the trophy and certificate and said, "I will keep it safe from now on."

Could Lin Nan not know what Liu Yifei was thinking?

Unfortunately, I have a golden lion and two silver bears, but now they all belong to Liu Yifei. Well, they'll soon have another friend!

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei no longer care who the Palme d'Or is awarded to...

At this time, it was already two o'clock in the morning over there in China.

"The Fault in Our Stars won the Grand Jury Prize!"

"Liu Yifei's mother won Best Supporting Actress?!"

…

The night shift employees of major news websites and portals quickly became busy!

Regardless of whether anyone reads news online in the early morning, they have to update the latest information from the Cannes Film Festival as soon as possible.

This is big news!

The Cannes Film Festival does not distinguish between main and supporting actor awards. (Only a few times are there awards for the leading role and supporting roles)

Both leading and supporting actors are up for the Best Actor award.

I have specially modified this chapter...
