Huayu Entertainment: You have been directing for three generations, are you comparing your qualifica

Chapter 42: Winning the Prize (asking for monthly ticket)
On the stage, the Best Actor Award has begun to be presented.

"The winner of the Best Actor award is: Yagira Yuya [Nobody Knows] Congratulations!"

Jiang Wu, who has experienced many big scenes, can't hide his disappointment.

"Uncle Wu, we'll come again when we have the chance."

Tian Xiaole leaned over and comforted him.

[Heart Labyrinth] is an ensemble drama, and the male lead has too few roles, otherwise it would still be possible.

"It's up to you from now on. Maybe we can get a big one."

Jiang Wu understands the award ceremony process, and the remaining three are the most important awards.

At this moment, the atmosphere among the crowd was not as tense as before the award ceremony. Every step forward was a victory.

Gong Li, who was sitting in the third row, turned around and gave an encouraging look.

"[Heart Maze] received a call?"

Seeing Gong Li looking back frequently, Wang Jiawei couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yes, are you surprised?"

“So sharp!”

Liu Jialin, Liang Chaowei and others were quite surprised and couldn't help but look back.

"He's truly a genius director!"

Wang Jiawei said this with deep feeling. When he was in his twenties, he was just an unknown screenwriter.

[2046] The crew's actions aroused the curiosity of many people.

Many people speculated that could it be that the extremely young director received a call about "hidden rules"?
On the stage, the Best Director Award was presented.

Tang Yan, who was standing next to him, muttered, "Buddha bless you, don't call me by my name."
I seemed to hear Tang Yan muttering, and the Best Director Award was won by [Excellent].

"Tangtang, you are so amazing. Even Buddha dares to intervene in Western affairs."

Tian Xiaole was very happy to have taken another step forward, and he couldn't help but hold on to hope. Maybe...

"No matter what the outcome is, being able to get this far is a victory."

Lao Tian spoke lightly, but his eyes were still staring at the podium nervously. Having come this far, who wouldn’t be looking forward to it?
The award presenter on stage has been replaced.

It was Xu Ke, a man with yellow skin and black hair.

At this time, Tian Xiaole's body was stretched very straight and his breathing became rapid.

"The winner of the Jury Grand Prize is: [Heart Maze], congratulations!"

The words exploded in Tian Xiaole's ears. He was confused as he really won the award.

Although a lot of money was spent and the Beijing Film Academy, a big company, was the one doing the public relations, it still felt unreal when his name was actually read out.

"Ah~ Brother, we won a prize."

Tang Yan shouted happily, with a bright smile on her face, and hugged him directly.

"Congratulations, Xiaole!"

Old Tian smiled and nodded, feeling relieved that the Tian family had a successor.

Feeling Tang Yan's excitement, Tian Xiaole came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief. Second prize was not bad either.

Jiang Wu, Yan Ni, Xu Zheng and others stood up and applauded first.

Tian Xiaole tidied up the clothes that were messed up by Tang Yan, and hugged everyone one by one.

The crew members of [2046] who were not far away also stood up and looked at Tian Xiaole, applauding and congratulating him.

Gong Li even ran over and gave Tian Xiaole a hug with a look of joy on his face.

"Congratulations, Xiaole."

"Thank you, Sister Li."

The little brat back then has grown to this point in the blink of an eye.

Tian Xiaole's mother passed away early. When she and Lao Mouzi were dating, the two families often visited each other.

I kind of watched him grow up.

It was only in recent years that I went to Hong Kong and Hollywood to develop my career, and we gradually lost contact.

The Palme d'Or and the Jury Prize are both collective film awards.

All the main creators walked onto the stage together to receive this honor.

Xu Ke is still introducing the award-winning film reviews:

"A charred corpse reveals the true nature of life: patriarchal oppression, entangled desires, and the coexistence of lies. The multi-threaded, circular narrative, like a jigsaw puzzle, reveals the absurdity of human nature through layer upon layer of reversals... 'Labyrinth of the Heart', with its novel and innovative narrative, analyzes the depths of human nature and won the Jury Prize at the 57th Cannes Film Festival."

"Congratulations, 23-year-old talented director."

Xu Ke smiled and presented the certificate to Tian Xiaole.

"Thank you, Director Xu."

Tian Xiaole took it with both hands and looked at it carefully.

The certificate records the specific information of the film in detail, including the director, producer, leading actor, etc., including the supporting roles with a large role.

Because this is a group award.

Tian Xiaole stood in front of the topic, holding up the certificate to signal the whole audience.

He made a routine speech, thanking Cannes, the crew and the investors.

Finally, he had a brain storm and said that next time he came to Cannes, he would win the Palme d'Or.

These words caused laughter and even louder applause in the conference hall.

Everyone cheered for this young director.

We lost this time not because our opponent was too strong, but because they had the advantage of location and people.

The final Palme d'Or was undoubtedly won by Fahrenheit 9/11.

It's a politically critical documentary, and the chairman of the jury happens to be an American director, and there are three other American directors on the jury.

No matter how much money you spend, it will only make a splash.

···
It's eight o'clock in the evening in Cannes, but it's already early morning in China.

The journalists and media who received the accurate information sent the news back overnight and reported it directly.

Because this is big news.

"Directed by Tian Xiaole, starring Jiang Wu, Tian Xiaole, Tang Yan, Yan Ni and others, [The Labyrinth of Hearts] won the Cannes Jury Grand Prix!"

"23-year-old director Tian Xiaole won the Cannes Jury Grand Prix, becoming the youngest winner in film history!"

"Beijing Film Academy's senior student, Tian Xiaole, won the Cannes Film Festival Jury Award!"

···
After the award ceremony, the organizing committee arranged a social reception.

Filmmakers from all over the world communicate with each other and chat about the art of film.

[Heart Maze] won the second prize, so of course we have to give face to the organizer.

Tian Xiaole showed up with the main creative team and met Quentin, who had a very ugly face.

They simply greeted each other and praised each other.

Tian Xiaole said: "Pulp Fiction" had a great influence on him and made him fall in love with the film industry.

Quentin said: At such an age, his future is limitless. Unless there are special circumstances, the Palme d'Or is not impossible.

After a few polite words, they parted ways.

In social situations, everyone looks for their own goals.

"Xiao Le, congratulations again on winning the Jury Grand Prix."

Gong Li was dressed in black and had a cold face, as if he was indifferent to everyone. He was very eye-catching in the noisy party.

"Thank you, Sister Li."

Tian Xiaole raised his glass and clinked it with Gong Li's.

Taking a sip of champagne, I thought about the script that Lao Tian was planning to film.

He really wanted Gong Li to play the role. First of all, her acting skills were unquestionable, and secondly, others might not be able to grasp the depth of the character.

"Sister Li, Lao Tian has a script. The female lead is quite suitable for you. It's an award-winning script. It just overlaps a little with the role you played before."

If Gong Li plays the role of Cao Guiying well, she has a good chance of winning an award. It just depends on whether she is willing to perform.

"Oh, really? Then I have to have a good talk with him."

Gong Li glanced at Tian Zhuangzhuang who was socializing not far away, and walked over with murderous intent.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Tian Xiaole quickly called on everyone else to slip away.

Zhang Manyu became the first Chinese-speaking actress to win a double Best Actress award, so Gong Li could no longer sit still.

So, never underestimate women's competitive mentality.
