The winner of the Best Screenplay Award in the main competition at the 76th Cannes Film Festival is...

At this point, the screen displayed only the nominated works from the main competition.

Dwight Shawn was a little nervous.

As a seasoned screenwriter, he has been dedicated to creating major works over the years.

However, he has yet to win an international award.

This year, his film "Monsters Appear" achieved considerable box office success.

Many industry professionals believe that he should be the best screenwriter at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

He was really looking forward to it.

Jenny Brown was even ready to stand up and cheer for his uncle.

But the next second.

The presenter, however, looked in the direction of the Chinese delegation and congratulated them, saying, "From our China, 'Ocean Heaven'!!!"

Upon hearing this, Dwight Shawn's expression immediately changed from tense to disappointed.

Jenny Brown repeatedly questioned, "What! What! What!"

Many people present were also surprised.

Most of them thought that this year's Best Screenplay award should go to Dwight Shawn.

But unexpectedly, it was snatched away by an obscure work from China.

Although they admit that the story of Ocean Heaven is very appealing.

However, compared to the multi-million dollar box office hit "Monster Hunt," this is still a drop in the ocean.

Jenny Brown stood up and openly questioned, "Why is this happening?"

Dwight Shawn, however, made him sit down to avoid making a fool of himself.

Jason Statham, standing to the side, was gloating.

He looked at Song Hao, the young Chinese man, who was going on stage to receive the award, and he was quite impressed.

Actually, Jason Statham had already heard of him before Jet Li introduced him.

After all, Song Hao's film "Operation Mekong" had already caught his attention.

Jason Statham even thought that if he could work with him one day, perhaps the two of them could create something special.

When Song Hao came on stage, he simply expressed his feelings about winning the award.

He then stepped down from the stage.

Back in their seats, everyone was very excited.

They never expected their work would actually win an award.

However, winning the Best Screenplay award means that the chances of winning Best Picture are almost nil.

After all, at the Cannes Film Festival, a film can generally only win one award.

This has been an unwritten rule for many years.

However, Song Hao didn't care.

Winning an award at an international film festival is a joyful thing in itself.

Today, his short film "The Tuner" has won the Best Short Film Award at an international film festival.

"Ocean Heaven" won the Best Screenplay award today.

This trip back to China will hopefully shut up those haters.

He had previously been doubted by many people about his ability to win the award.

High box office numbers alone, without international awards, are not enough to establish a foothold in the Chinese film industry.

Now, he's no longer afraid of criticism or doubt.

At that moment, the system beeped.

[Win any feature film award at an international film festival. Mission complete. Receive 400 Film Exchange Cards and +10 to Physical Ability.]

In an instant, Song Hao clearly felt that his energy and spirit had improved a lot.

My body has become a bit stronger.

You can even feel the blood in your body flowing faster.

I was quite surprised for a moment.

I never expected that they had such a skill.

If I had a few more missions like this, I might just be able to regain the mental state of an eighteen-year-old.

Song Hao didn't pay much attention to the subsequent award ceremony.

Because the subsequent awards ceremony was basically irrelevant to him.

He then went to the restroom midway through the journey.

On the way there, I happened to run into Jason Statham.

Jason Statham also congratulated him: "Congratulations on winning an award at an international film festival."

"Thank you."

"You're amazing! You can direct a blockbuster like 'Operation Mekong' and write an art film like 'Ocean Heaven'." Jason Statham exclaimed, "It's truly an eye-opener to have Brother Li act in a dramatic role."

"Mainly because Teacher Li likes this story," Song Hao explained.

The two had just walked in.

They then saw a foreign man fastening his zipper.

The foreign man was none other than Jenny Brown.

Jenny Brown never expected to run into Song Hao and Jason Statham together in the bathroom.

He glared at her angrily, and as he passed by, he muttered, "Fuck!"

Song Hao was a little puzzled, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Jason Statham, who knew the whole story, glared back at Jenny Brown.

Tell him not to cause trouble.

However, the young and fearless Jenny Brown, relying on his youthful vigor, continued when Song Hao showed no reaction: "Hey, you, Huaxia boy, how did you get the judges to choose your work? It couldn't be this, could it?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture of banknotes with his fingers.

Song Hao glanced at Jason Statham, but neither of them spoke.

Seeing that Song Hao was still the same coward, Jenny Brown laughed disdainfully: "Coward."

Then he turned and left.

Then, the next second, a bag was put over his head, followed by several heavy punches to his back and buttocks.

Jenny Brown was stunned.

He sat on the ground, very angry, and immediately tore open the bag with his hand, looking around.

However, he was the only person in the entire restroom.

Song Hao and Jason Statham have disappeared.

Just then, someone walked in.

They were somewhat surprised to see Jenny Brown sitting on the ground.

One of them asked, "What's wrong, buddy?"

Jenny Brown, of course, dared not say that he had been hit, and could only awkwardly explain, "I accidentally fell."

"Oh my God, that was so careless." Someone immediately stepped forward to help him up.

Then he wondered why there was a shoe print on Jenny Brown's butt.
the other side.

After venting their anger, Song Hao and Jason Statham also established a preliminary friendship.

Seeing the two of them come out of the restroom laughing so happily, Li Lianjie asked, "What's wrong with you two?"

Song Hao and Jason Statham exchanged a glance and said, "It's nothing, we just feel like we met too late in life and we definitely want to work with Jason sometime in the future."

Jason Statham happily said, "If you ever invite me to make your movie, I'll immediately fly over at my own expense."

Li Lianjie genuinely believed that they had developed feelings for each other during their conversation, and he was very happy: "That's good. Maybe we can even have another scene together sometime."

While they were chatting, a commotion broke out on the other side.

They looked in the direction of the noise.

Uncle Dwight Shawn asked in surprise, "Jenny, what happened to you? How did you get like this? Good heavens, there must have been too much water in the bathroom that made you slip and fall, right?"

Looking at the situation, Li Lianjie was also a little puzzled: "Could it be that he accidentally fell down in the toilet?"

After winning the Best Screenplay Award at the Cannes Film Festival, Song Hao walked out of the venue.

It instantly attracted numerous media interviews.

"Director Song, congratulations on winning the Best Screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival. Is there anything you'd like to share?"

Looking at the camera, Song Hao said, "I'm very happy to receive this award. This journey wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of everyone in the 'Ocean Heaven' crew. Of course, the support of my fans is also very important. I hope everyone will continue to support my work, and I will win more awards in the future to prove myself!"

"You mentioned before that you might be making a project with romance elements. Would you like to ask if it's a TV series or a movie?"

Song Hao explained, "It should be a TV series. I hope everyone can wait patiently and look forward to my new work." Afterwards, the media reporters asked a few more questions.

Song Hao answered them one by one.

However, due to time constraints, they subsequently left the scene.

After the film festival, Song Hao took his team on a special trip to France.

Even Jet Li spent two or three days playing with everyone before going back to work.

Although this film is a public service announcement, Jet Li participated in it without receiving any payment.

During the film festival, Song Hao was even introduced to many big-name celebrities.

It can be said that they were present and contributed their efforts throughout the entire process.

It was because the manuscript "Ocean Heaven" deeply attracted him that Li Lianjie did this.

They also indirectly admired Song Hao's abilities.

Today, Song Hao not only has the support of official departments, but also the guidance of international superstars like Li Lianjie.

It can be said that as long as you don't do anything illegal or criminal, the road ahead will be even smoother than the Avenue of Stars.

During the play.

The country was already in an uproar.

Numerous media headlines remained high on the trending searches.

Song Hao won the Best Screenplay Award.

[Ocean Heaven won an award at the Cannes Film Festival.]

[Song Hao is the first Chinese director to win a feature film award at an international film festival in 17 years.]

Everyone was very happy.

"Oh my god, I really won an award."

"That's amazing! I never expected Director Song to actually win the Best Screenplay award."

"This movie, Ocean Heaven, is really well made. If it goes to box office, it could probably reach over 10 billion."

"For an art film like this, it's already quite remarkable that it can be so captivating."

Everyone is looking forward to Song Hao's return to China.

He will give more interviews to the media to learn more about the details.

Song Hao and his group spent four days in Cannes before returning to China.

I just got off the plane and walked out of the airport.

Many fans and moviegoers came to greet him at the airport.

They were holding support signs.

Most of them had Song Hao's name on them.

This is a scene rarely seen in the entertainment industry.

After all, most people follow celebrities, and very few people are so enthusiastic about a director.

And Song Hao did not disappoint his fans.

He approached the group of fans, earnestly signing autographs and taking photos, trying his best to fulfill their requests.

Fans who got autographs and photos shared them on WeChat Moments, Weibo, or Douyin.

This has made fans from other groups extremely envious.

"Director Song is really down-to-earth."

"Yes, it's rare to see a celebrity try their best to meet the demands of their fans."

"Love it, love it."

"I thought about it, and the celebrity I admire seems to give off a 'keep away' vibe whenever they see fans."

"This is what a truly high-quality idol should be like."

While some praised it, others began to worry.

That's what Song Hao said: after returning to China, he wanted to film a romance-themed TV series.

Nowadays, romantic dramas are filled with melodramatic elements such as car accidents, amnesia, and infidelity, which makes many netizens feel headaches.

Now that Song Hao is taking on a romantic role, can he really pull it off?
Even his longtime fans have begun to have doubts.

After returning to the company, Song Hao immediately began writing the script.

Because "Our Parents' Love" has 45 episodes, the scriptwriting was quite challenging.

It took him nearly two weeks to finish writing the script for "Our Parents' Love".

After the script was printed out, Song Hao immediately took it to see Director Qin of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Director Qin had already seen the interview and heard him say that he was going to make a TV series.

He felt a surge of joy.

Making a romance movie might not have a significant impact on society.

However, TV dramas are different.

If two episodes are aired a day, there will be at least a month for discussion.

Its popularity online will naturally remain high.

Of course, this is all predicated on the TV series being of high quality.

Therefore, Director Qin was also very much looking forward to seeing what kind of script Song Hao had written.

Before long, Song Hao arrived at his office.

"Director Qin."

"Hey, Xiao Song, you're here." Director Qin immediately stood up: "Impressive! You came back with an award after your trip abroad."

"Luck, luck," Song Hao said with a smile.

"Hey, how can you say it's luck?" Director Qin emphasized, "Winning the award proves that no one else can beat you, so you are number one. Don't talk to me about luck. You need to have confidence in yourself and not underestimate yourself."

Song Hao nodded: "Director Qin is right."

Then he took out the script and handed it to Director Qin: "Director Qin, please take a look at this script."

Director Qin looked at the thick script and was quite surprised: "It's so thick."

"This is the script for a TV series."

"You're really amazing."

Director Qin took the script, turned to the first page, and began to read it carefully.

After watching for less than a minute, he asked curiously, "Is this... a period drama?"

Song Hao replied, "Yes, because I think the views on love and values of my parents' generation are simple and sincere. If we can recreate the love of the previous generation, perhaps it can inspire young people today to yearn for the beauty of love."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Director Qin nodded in agreement.

He then said to Song Hao, "How about this, you give me three days. I'll finish reading the script in these three days, and then I'll tell you."

"Okay, no problem, Director Qin, I'll be going now."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work these past few days."

Song Hao also went home, planning to take a good rest for the next couple of days.

While he was waiting for news from Director Qin, a video went viral online.

It's about an interview.

A foreign host was interviewing Jenny Brown, who had just won an award, and the conversation happened to turn to Song Hao's "Ocean Heaven".

Jenny Brown stated directly, "I was surprised that a Chinese film won an award. I felt that not many people paid attention to that film. I've always felt that Chinese works seem to only circulate in their own country, and there are very few excellent works that can be shown or broadcast abroad. Simply put, they lack mass appeal and are only suitable for people in their own country to watch."

The interview video immediately sparked discussion among netizens.

"What the hell? Damn it, what's he acting all high and mighty with just a supporting actor award?"

"I'm afraid you'll never have the chance to film in China in your lifetime."

"His face is really disgusting."

"200 years ago, you were a commodity, packed together with cotton."

"However, what he said seems to make sense. It seems that very few of our Chinese works are popular abroad, whether they are movies or TV series."

"The lack of global appeal has always been a drawback of Chinese films and television."

"I wonder which film or television work will be the one to break this phenomenon."

Just then, Song Hao posted on Weibo.

He simply posted a message: "Look at my performance, everyone!"

These seven simple words exude confidence and self-assurance!
