Huayu Entertainment: Tianxian really wants to improve

Chapter 124: Crowning the Palme d'Or (Part )
J.K. Simmons stands behind the Palme d'Or trophy for Best Actor.
His face was full of excitement: "Wow, this is incredible!
I must thank our director very much. If he hadn't chosen me, I probably wouldn't have the opportunity to play such a good role on the screen.

With his talent, he definitely deserves a bigger award than the Golden Camera!

Thanks to my family, they always support me and are by my side no matter what I do.

Thank you everyone, and thank you Cannes! "

After stepping down from the stage,
J.K. Simmons hugged Gu Bei excitedly again.

He won the Best Actor Award at Cannes for his supporting role.

Although it is not as shocking as Anthony, who won the Oscar for Best Actor for Hannibal,
But it is also a record in Cannes history!
After the Best Actor award at Cannes, comes the Best Director award.

It is still another movie produced by Joe, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly".

Two of the four grand prizes were removed, leaving only the two most important ones.

"Bruce..."

Joe took advantage of the camera to turn to Julian on the stage,
He leaned over and whispered, "The number of remaining awards just matches the number of remaining crews. It looks like our journey to Cannes will end here!"

Gu Bei was about to speak,

He felt a warm little hand covering his palm.

Turning around, under the dim light, Liu Yifei was looking at him with a worried look on her face, her worry overflowing.

Liu Yifei has also been paying attention to the announcement of the awards.
The only awards left are Best Actress, Grand Prix of the Jury and Palme d'Or.

There happened to be no award-winning crew on the scene.

There are only "Secret Sunshine", "Psychedelic Park" and "4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days".

It seems... there is no room for their awards!
Gu Bei patted Liu Yifei's hand with his backhand and said with a smile, "You seem to have forgotten that this year is the 60th anniversary of Cannes, which means there will be a special award for the 60th anniversary!"

He swept his eyes across the crowd in front of him.
Among the remaining three crews, there happened to be one missing from the Sakura Country, which was the film "Mori no Mori" that was originally going to win the Jury Grand Prix.

……

Kyoto.

"That's all for today!"

Chen Kaige clapped his hands, ready to end today's preparatory meeting for "Mei Lanfang".
He glanced at the clock next to him and paused for a moment: "Is it the time for the Cannes Awards Ceremony now?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Chen Kaige brought this up.

Huang Bin, who has been following Chen Kaige for many years,

Not only did he help Chen Kaige plan and publish books, but he was also Mei Lanfang's publicity and marketing director.

He immediately understood what Chen Kaige meant: "Director Chen has a great memory! Quick, quick, who has the remote? Turn to the movie channel, that's where the live broadcast is."

Everyone was in a panic.
Only then did he lock the TV in the conference room to the movie channel.

At this time, Huang Bin had already searched Sohu's real-time text report on his computer:
"Now only the Grand Prix and the Palme d'Or remain to be awarded.

Our Chinese director Gu Bei's Whiplash has won the Golden Camera Award and the Best Actor Award,
Director Chen, do you think Director Gu still has a chance to win the Palme d'Or?

Chen Kaige smiled when he heard this:
"Caméra d'Or, I received an invitation from the Cannes organizing committee to attend the 60th anniversary of Cannes, and I happened to have seen Whiplash.

The technical techniques are very mature and it doesn't look like the director's first work at all. It would be great if he won a Golden Camera.

The theme is too entertaining and lacks any complexity.
I guess the Palme d'Or... is a bit mysterious! "

Chen Hong glanced at Chen Kaige and secretly complained in his heart:
'I don't know who was there, but after watching the movie, he stayed there for several minutes amidst the applause.
He didn't even respond when she and Arthur called him.'

But as a qualified director's wife,

She just sat there with a faint smile and said nothing.

"Director Chen is truly worthy of his name. As China's only Palme d'Or winner, he even invited your family to the 60th anniversary of Cannes!"

Huang Bin immediately grasped the key point of Chen Kaige's words and immediately began to praise him. The others only realized it later and hurriedly followed suit.

For a time,

The conference room was filled with admiration for Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige just accepted it with a smile, neither accepting nor rejecting it, just staring at the award ceremony on TV.

……

Cannes.

“This Jury Grand Prix…

... Let us congratulate him – Christian Mungiu, the director of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days! "

When the camera turns to Christine,
He was slightly stunned, and seemed to be unable to react.

But he quickly came to his senses and smiled.
But no matter how I look at it, it seems a bit forced?
"Clap clap clap!"

Even the audience at the scene was stunned for a moment before they started to applaud.

As the film that ranked first in the program book of this year's Cannes Film Festival and won the Prix Fribourg and Prix de la Frontera, it won the Grand Jury Prize, which means that it withdrew from the competition for the Palme d'Or!
Because the Grand Jury Prize represents the second prize, it has the strength of the Palme d'Or, but it has not competed with the Palme d'Or winning film.

At this moment, all the crews present have won an award.

Everyone is standing on the same starting line!
"It looks like he's really going to win the Palme d'Or!"

Yang Ziqiong applauded while looking at Gu Bei who was not far away. "A director who is only 20 years old, it's really incredible!"

Zhang Ziyi also looked at Gu Bei, with a slight flicker in her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

In addition to the two of them, many guests had already set their eyes on Gu Bei.

Although according to the rules of Cannes,
The Palme d'Or will be awarded alongside any other award.

But there is no doubt that the Cannes jury will not give the Palme d'Or to the consolation Jury Prize and the 60th Anniversary Special Award.

Among the remaining crews, the only one with any competition is

There is only the Korean movie "Secret Sunshine",

Its program score is 0.1 points higher than Whiplash.

but……

Miryang's ratings benefited from the feminism.

Whiplash's ratings were attacked by feminists.

Even if everyone starts from the same starting line, there are still differences in strength!
Stephen Frears, president of this year's Cannes jury, came to the front of the stage.
His eyes swept across the audience.
Finally, he locked his eyes on Gu Bei and smiled.

Gu Bei could hold Liu Yifei's hand and instantly increased the strength. It could be seen that she was very nervous, even more nervous than himself.

"This year's Cannes is undoubtedly the youngest in recent years, but the quality of the films is no less than in the past. I really want it to last forever, but good times are always short-lived.

Let us congratulate the Palme d'Or winner, Gu Bei from Whiplash!

"Woo——"

When the usually calm producer Joe heard the name of the winner,
He instantly rushed up from his seat, his excitement evident on his face, with even a hint of tears in his eyes.

J.K. Simmons and Andrew from the Whiplash crew stood up to express their congratulations to Gu Bei.

The entire cinema was engulfed in a sea of ​​applause.

Amidst unprecedented applause,
Gu Bei stood up with a smile and looked at Liu Yifei beside him.

When their eyes met, both of them saw a glimmer of light in each other's eyes, a glimmer of light that belonged to their journey together!
