I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

The award ceremony of this edition of the Cannes Film Festival was held in the Lumière Cinema Hall of the Palais du Cinema. This film screening hall is the place where the works of the main competition unit of the film festival are played, and "All Quiet Spring" premiered here.

The Lumiere Cinema Hall commemorates the Lumiere brothers, who held the first public screening of mankind a hundred years ago. The film played at that time was of a train entering the station. Because of its real picture, it caused a stir on the scene. commotion.

Now, the Lumière Cinema Hall is filled with people from the film industry from all over the world. These are not idol artists who rely on traffic or praise to become popular, but real people who bring various realistic and surreal works to people. of filmmakers.

The spotlight continued to circulate as the award ceremony progressed, but many people's eyes fell on one location, Lu Jian, which was located in the front near the aisle.

He himself was nothing special, but there was still an empty spot beside him.

According to Lu Jian's performance, this is the seat "reserved" for Kohaku.

At this moment, many reporters are no longer focused on the awards given to short films and emerging directors. They only focus on one thing, and that is the Palme d'Or and the Best Actress Award in the main competition.

I originally thought that Lu Jian's behavior on the red carpet was just for show, but the media and those filmmakers who got close discovered that Lu Jian seemed to have been really talking to the "people" around him.

Is there... any mystery?

When a person acts too naturally, it causes self-doubt in onlookers.

And this is Lu Jian, a big movie star.

For a person of this level, even if he points to a deer and says it is a horse, many people will probably stand up and agree.

Everyone is very relieved about Lu Tan. Director Lu must have his reasons for doing this.

The cameras in Cannes also passed by Lu Jian from time to time. Every time they passed by, many viewers watching the live broadcast carefully looked around Lu Jian, trying to find out what was wrong.

But it was really empty there.

If there is indeed no one in this position, then Lu Kan's acting skills are too real. He is as polite and polite as if there is really a lady sitting there.

But Lu Jian's acting skills are a bit clumsy compared to his directing ability. Can he really act so well?

Some viewers began to think that Lu Kan had communicated with the organizing committee in advance, and when it was time to award the awards, he made Amber rise from the center of the stage, surprising everyone!

The awards were announced one by one, and soon it was time to reach the main competition unit.

According to certain established conventions, the sub-awards of each film award will be awarded to different works. After all, the circle of art films is not large, and the production members of each film always have some intersection. If there is a Grand Slam, then other films It’s too embarrassing to run with you.

Therefore, people generally believe that the Palme d'Or this time can be awarded to Lu Jian, but awards such as best screenplay and best director should be awarded to others.

Unexpectedly, everyone heard the name "All Quiet Spring" as the best script from the very beginning.

Lu Tan came on stage and took the trophy.

"Director Lu Jian, your work is indeed impressive. Can you tell us about the motivation behind this script?"

Rather than asking him to give an acceptance speech, it was better to say that the host was taking the opportunity to interview Lu Jian, and the way he spoke made it seem like Lu Jian would be on stage more than once in the future, so the host only mentioned the script.

With the help of a translator, the conversation between the two was transmitted to everyone present in French.

Lu Tiao took the phone.

"I'm honored to receive this award. Just now a friend asked me why I arranged such a plot and why I couldn't save everyone. They felt that I was deliberately hurting everyone. Let me clarify it here."

He speaks his mind.

"I have tried very hard to make that world move in a better direction, but the reality is this. I couldn't save Amber, and I can't change what has happened."

"I can't do anything."

Lu Jian's words made the guests at the scene feel PTSD again, and a mysterious healing smile began to spread among the audience. The guests who were originally confused, surprised, and silent in thinking smiled as if they understood everything. stand up.

Outside the Lumiere Hall, viewers watching TV and online live broadcasts were puzzled.

[What does this mean? Why does it feel like he has really experienced these things? 】

[Did Lu Tan really get too involved in the drama and become obsessed? 】

【What is he saying? Why can't I understand it at all? Is this some code or slang? 】

[I understand, Director Lu is talking about creation. When creation is deeply rooted in people's hearts, the character will come alive. He will have his own life and will, and his future is beyond the control of the creator! 】

[I've also heard that Flaubert cried for several days when he was writing a book because he killed one of his characters. Lu Jian might also have fallen into this state while writing]

[No, what are you talking about? Who died? 】

[Optimist, pessimist, me.jpg]

The guests at the scene were whispering to each other, and many people believed that Lu Jian meant that he was deeply involved in the story when he was creating and could not extricate himself, while Amber was given life and soul by Lu Jian during the creation, and had his own will.

Amber's death is the inevitable ending of the story, which cannot be transferred by Lu Jian's personal will. It is the final end of her character.

They believe that when Lu Jian wrote this script, he must have been heartbroken to complete the creation of this plot. He also had to endure his own pain to present these scenes to the audience in the most perfect form.

Thinking about it this way, it turns out that the most painful thing is Lu Tan!

The scene could not help but be filled with an atmosphere of sadness, mourning for the passing of Amber, and feeling respected for the pursuit of art.

After receiving the award, Lu Tan returned to his seat. Not long after he sat down, he heard his name again.

Best Director Award.

Immediately afterwards, the best actor also saw Lu Tan.

Seeing this scene, many people began to murmur in their hearts.

Is Lu Kan really going to win all the Palme d'Or awards and complete the Grand Slam?

This is rare in history, no, even unique.

Amid everyone's doubts and expectations, the films nominated for Best Actress began to play.

Naturally, amber is among them.

The host invited a senior in the film industry and an actress who had won the Palme d'Or to come on stage to present the award.

She took a look at the contents of the envelope, and then a healing and mysterious smile appeared on her face.

"The winner of this Palme d'Or for Best Actress is Amber."

The whole place fell silent.

The spotlight came to Lu Tan's side.

That seat was empty.
