You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 566 Chinese-language film wins Palme d'Or for second time!

In fact, not only Yang Mi has downloaded Xiaokaxiu, but Wang Quan has also been paying attention to this software.

This is considered a pioneer in the field of short videos. It became popular earlier than Kuaishou. Among them, teacher Jin Xing’s videos made a great contribution, attracting celebrities such as Zhang Yishan, Jiang Xin, and Wang Luodan to imitate.

Once the video of A-list actress Tang Yan imitating the bald look is released, there will definitely be another wave of craze.

Nowadays, this software is so popular in the APP Store rankings that Zhang Yingming is even a little anxious about it. Could it be that the market has already been divided up before their product is launched?

Wang Quan called him and asked him to calm down, "Being fat first is not fat, and then fat is overwhelming. I won't say it anymore. I still need to catch up on my sleep. Yes, it is indeed 12 o'clock at noon in France. Can't I stay up late to watch a movie? ”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Quan looked at the two ices on the left and right, so good movies can really stimulate people's potential. They were so excited that they even let Wang Quan film a part.

In the living room, Xiaotian prepared today's new "Daily Screen" magazine for Wang Quan. The ratings of "Carol" and "Nie Yinniang" have been determined, and they are both happy to receive a super high score of 3.5!

At this time, there are only a few works left that have not yet determined the score, and it is impossible to exceed this score.

This greatly excited Hou Hsiao-hsien, who received the second-highest rating from the show and was expected to win the Palme d'Or!

Sure enough, it doesn't matter if ordinary viewers can't understand it. It's enough that those in the industry who really know the industry can understand it.

However, this result made director Yimou very embarrassed. Although the four Chinese-language films all received high ratings and were all ranked in the top ten, his "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" was the lowest among the four.

Wang Quan told Ni Ni about this when he met her, but Ni Ni said that Lao Mouzi was emotionally stable.

It's just that Ni Ni is not stable and a little sour, "Where did you go last night? I've looked for you several times but no one is there, and I don't reply to text messages."

"I went to watch a movie. There should be another one tonight. I recommend you watch it."

"What movie?"

Wang Quan introduced "Love 3D" to her.

"It's best to bring a friend with you." Wang Quan blinked mysteriously.

Wang Quan is still busy today, "Spring" is about to premiere.

In addition to director Bai Xue and starring Huang Yun, Sun Yang and Ni Hongjie, producer Yu Feihong also flew to the scene to help out.

When Wang Quan saw Sister Fei Hong, he felt relieved and even made secret glances at her.

If it weren't for the director's reputation as "Classmate Wang Quan" and the fact that Wang Quan brought the stars of China Entertainment to attend the red carpet, it is estimated that even the domestic media would not pay attention to this three-no product.

Director Bai Xue was a little nervous. This was her second film, and she didn't expect it to go to the big stage of Cannes.

But considering that Monitor had already swept the Oscars a few years ago, what does this mean to me?

Hey, monitor, I saw someone just now.

In the bathroom of the theater, Wang Quan and Sister Feihong had a passionate collision. Yu Feihong regretfully missed the beginning of the movie.

But judging from the feedback from the audience later, it seems to be pretty good.

The director of "Don't Tell Her" Wang Ziyi also came to the scene to observe. After all, their two films are competitors.

There is a saying that Wang Ziyi thought that he had done a good job, but he did not expect that this undergraduate student from the film school also did a good job.

Of course, this year’s special attention category also includes Naomi Kawase who is stronger and has experience in the main competition category, and Apichatpong, who even won the Palme d’Or.

Even Hollywood A-list actress Natalie Portman directed a film shortlisted for this unit, which is second only to the main competition.

Therefore, the competition this year is very fierce. It is a good thing to be shortlisted. Maybe both of them will leave empty-handed.

But one thing Wang Ziyi is sure of is that the box office of his film will definitely be better than that of his opponent.

Yu Feihong came to Cannes not for royal power, but to sell films, so she has to be busy with her own business next. After the premiere of "Spring", several film producers came to ask about the price. She also brought the company and other Several videos.

Wang Quan held a small meeting with the leaders from the Film Bureau and China Film Group in the afternoon to discuss matters related to the "Chinese Night" on the evening of the 22nd.

This event has been held for seven years. The original intention was to use a film-based method to reflect the value of traditional Chinese culture and to focus on displaying and selling domestic films.

Not everyone is a big company like Wangdao Qiankun. Many small and medium-sized domestic film companies are unable to sell films overseas. Not to mention the various expenses of going back and forth, you have no way out.

So in many cases, the film bureau and China Film Group are responsible for this function. They sell more and sell less. Sales are considered political achievements.

After so many years of running, this year is the only time that so many crews have been shortlisted for Cannes, so it can be a grander event and the stars can be brighter.

What a huge political achievement it would be if we won two more awards!

After the meeting, Wang Quan had dinner with Ni Ni, and she told Wang Quan, "I made an appointment with Wen Yongshan to watch a movie together in the evening."

"Oh, how did you think of asking her out? Are you familiar with her?"

"I'm not familiar with her, but we felt like old friends at first sight," Ni Ni smiled and asked in a low voice, "Is she the same as me?"

Under the table, Wang Quan gently squeezed her leg, "It's different, we have a deeper relationship."

Ni Ni's smile became even brighter and more charming.

Wen Yongshan was with sister Zhou Ming at the moment. Not long after Zhou Ming woke up, the movie was so powerful that she looked down and saw two small pieces of paper, which turned out to be the movie "Love" ticket.

After she bent down to pick it up, oh my god, it really is!

"Oh, I dropped this. Why can't I find it?" Wen Yongshan took it and put it away.

"Sister Shan, do you want to go see this movie?"

"yes."

"With whom?"

"Ni Ni, she asked me to buy the ticket and said it was very good."

Zhou Mo's mouth moved, but in the end he said nothing. If he said something, wouldn't he reveal that he had seen this matter?

Wang Quan walked around the hotel and saw Zhou Ming, an idle person. Xiaotian and Xiaoai went to pick up Jiang Shuying. She came to promote "Pancake Man" with the shed, and the three assistants were getting together.

So Wang Quan asked her to change into beautiful clothes and attend an event with him.

Zhou Ming was still a little shy when she saw Director Wang Quan again. Mainly after returning from watching that movie, she began to fantasize and operate, and the man in her imagination was him.

"What, what kind of activity?" she asked.

Wang Quan said: "Huayi teamed up with Hollywood to produce a cartoon called "Rock Tibetan Mastiff". Let's go and watch it together."

When he heard that it was another cartoon, Zhou Ming felt resentful and spoke a little louder, "Director, I am not a child anymore. I don't like watching cartoons for a long time. Is there anyone in our class?" All the girls are in love!”

"so what……"

Zhou Ming thought of the movie yesterday, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, stood on tiptoes and kissed Wang Quan on the mouth.

This move that was beyond Wang Quan's expectations almost consumed all Zhou Ming's courage. After it was completed, she was shocked by herself and ran out quickly.

I'd better avoid the limelight first, Director Quan won't kill me!

Wang Quan just smiled bitterly and shook his head. Men indeed become more attractive when they reach thirty.

But he didn't take it too seriously. Adolescent girls are easily impulsive. Looking back, he should feel stupid.

At this time, what Zhou Ming was thinking was: He was so awesome, but it was a pity that he couldn't brag about this kind of thing to Tian Xiwei and the others.

"Eh? Where are you?" After Zhou Ming ran out, she saw a strange world. She had always gone out with her sisters before. This was her first time walking alone on the streets of Cannes.

"No matter, let's go buy gifts for Weiwei and the others first, then call later and ask Sister Xiaotian to pick me up."

However, it wasn't until Wang Quan had dinner and Jiang Shuying, it was already dark, and he asked Xiaotian and Xiaoai that he realized Zhou Ming hadn't come back yet.

He quickly asked Xiao Wei to put aside the flirting with his fiancée for the time being and go find someone first, "Don't let yourself be embarrassed if you don't get the prize by then."

An hour later, before Xiao Wei and the others came back, a car stopped in front of the hotel, and American supermodels Ken Dou and Zhou Ming walked in together.

Although the two are only three years apart, their maturity level is not at the same level. There is a huge difference.

Wang Quan looked at this strange pair with confusion.

Zhou Mo lowered his head and picked at the ground in embarrassment. Kendou explained: "I met her in the cosmetics store and recognized her as your actor, but she seemed lost, didn't understand the language, and didn't bring her mobile phone. She didn't even I didn’t bring any money, so I paid for her, treated her to dinner, and sent her back.”

Wang Quan hugged Ken Dou and said, "My child has really met a living Bodhisattva. I really don't know how to thank you."

"It's not too much to treat me to a meal."

"Haven't you already invited her to dinner? Are you still hungry?"

Kendou looked at Wang Quan with firm eyes: "Not only are I hungry, I'm also thirsty~"

So Wang Quan sent Zhou Ming away and invited Ken Dou to go upstairs to eat some pastries and drink a glass of whiskey in the hotel's high-end restaurant.

But she was too careless and knocked over the whiskey, which stained her clothes.

There was no other way, so Wang Quan had to take her back to the room, take off her clothes and help her blow dry.

She smelled of alcohol on herself and asked, "Can I take a shower?"

Naturally, Wang Quan had no reason to refuse.

They had already given up the bathroom, so Wang Quan decided to be a good person and give her another back rub service.

Rubbing and rubbing, it caught fire!

Wang Quan has a good friend named Xiao Lizi. His favorite type of girlfriend is a supermodel who is around 20 years old, and Ken Dou is undoubtedly one of the top supermodels in this age group.

It's a pity that Kendou doesn't have an Electra plot and doesn't like old things. Wang Quan, who is 10 years older than him, is just right.

Kendou was originally going to leave Cannes tonight, but for the sake of royal power, she chose to change her contract and renew her appointment!

Wang Quan's fighting ability amazed her. How did he achieve endless power? No wonder Taylor Swift has been entangled with this man, probably not just because of his talent.

There are many talented people, but only a few can make themselves so comfortable.

Talent + wealth + ability, an impulsive encounter made Kendou a little obsessed with this Asian man.

King Power also remembers her name Kendall Jenner forever.

After one night, Wang Quan stood in front of the window and watched her leave.

At this time, there are only three days left before the closing of Cannes.

Ni Ni, who returned to the hotel in the middle of the night, was already awake. She had business to do, while Wen Yongshan was still sleeping. After returning, the two spent the night in the same room.

They actually wanted to ask Wang Quan to practice the moves in the movie, but they were blocked by Xiao Ai.

"Don't delay the boss's efforts to win glory for the country!"

After meeting Wang Quan in the morning, Ni Ni said that the movie was very good and "I will buy the Blu-ray disc later and keep it in my collection."

Then she told Wang Quan: "Guess who else I saw there?"

"Who?"

"Haruka Ayase and Masami Nagasawa."

I haven’t seen them both for a long time. I think I went to Paris for two days in between.

Wang Quan didn't pay much attention. He went to the promotional event of "Monster Hunt" for Ni Ni in the morning. He also saw Anle's boss Jiang Zhiqiang and the film's director Xu Chengcheng, including Xu's kindergarten classmate Chen Kexin, who also came to help support the stage.

Of course, the real protagonist of the film, the little demon king Huba who looks like a carrot and becomes a spirit, also appears in the form of a doll.

"Monster Hunt" spent a lot of extra money on reshoots because the male lead was replaced, and the pressure was high to repay the money. It would have to earn at least 1 billion at the box office, so I really hope to get some profits from overseas markets.

However, the situation is not optimistic. "Hidden Sea Flower" and "The Kingdom of Mysteries" can at least catch up with the popularity of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

And their film is nothing to talk about, and the cast is not very attractive internationally. Who knows Chen Xiao and Ni Ni internationally?

Jiang Zhiqiang has thought clearly. The next movie must invite a big-name star, if there is another movie.

If you can't afford Cheng Long and Li Lienjie, you can hire Zhou Run and Liang Chaowei, and the chances of the older generation of artists falling over are not high.

The only good thing is that Wang Quan is very optimistic about their film. He has always had a good taste.

This year at Cannes, Wang Quan is simply a model worker. Not only his own company, but also films from related companies and other Chinese film companies have activities. As long as there is no conflict with their own schedule, they will basically be rewarded. Therefore, domestic netizens can see news about Wang Quan every day.

In the afternoon, Wang Quan attended a new film event by Ruyi Pictures.

Ruyi Pictures is a listed company. It was listed on the Hong Kong stock market by backdoor last year and now has a market value of nearly 10 billion.

"Detective Chinatown" produced by Wanda is one of the co-producers, as well as "You Are Here", the film about Xiao Wu's return to China, which is also a project produced by Ruyi Pictures, and "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" 》The film rights were also bought by them.

Since its successful listing, the company has become more and more prominent in the Chinese film industry.

This time Ruyi Pictures plans to join forces with Maple Leaf Film Company SYON Media to bring the best-selling novel "Mirror Series" by Chinese fantasy writer Cang Yue to the big screen.

The total sales volume of this series has reached 7 million copies so far, and Cang Yue has been on the rich list of Chinese writers many times.

Ruyi learned a lot from the success of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" when running this project. It has also been translated into English and is ready to be used as a novel to open up the market in Europe and the United States. It will be released at the New York Book Fair next week.

The world view of "Mirror Series" is somewhat close to that of "Legend of the Shark Pearl" released during the Spring Festival, and the shooting style will also be referenced.

When Wang Quan first went to college, the magazine "Legends of Modern Times" was still very popular. At that time, Cang Yue had not written "Mirror Series" yet, but she participated in a national martial arts novel competition of "Legends of Modern Times" and won first place.

Why Wang Quan remembers it so clearly is because he also participated in this competition and stopped in the rematch.

But what Wang Quan is more curious about is how this ambitious series of movies from Ruyi Pictures will turn out in the end. Isn’t it a complete mess?

Anyway, we haven’t seen a finished film in 2025, but there are a few TV series with varying quality coming out, such as "Two Cities of Mirrors" and "Jade Bones".

Time came to the 22nd, and the ratings of all 21 works in the main competition unit have been released, and "Parasite" topped the list with a score of 3.6.

"The Assassin" and "Carol" followed closely with a score of 3.5, and only these three movies received a score of 3 or above.

Then there are 2.8 points for "Old Friend" and "Son of Saul", 2.7 points for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", 2.6 points for "My Mother", and 2.5 points for "Diary of Haijie" and "Wandering Pandy".

Therefore, the performance of Chinese-language films this year can be said to be unprecedentedly good, and it is a collective explosion.

The final awards may really reach the glory of the 2000 session.

Of course, the awards belong to the film critics and the media, and the audience's preferences are not important. The final decision is still made by the nine people. Now the judges have begun to discuss behind closed doors how to divide the pork.

In previous years, the jury system was nine-person, with one chairman and eight ordinary judges.

This year there are seven regular judges, two chairs, and the Coen brothers each have one vote.

The usual principle is to first determine the best film and the Palme d'Or, and then slowly divide the remaining pork.

The nine judges each proposed their own best films, and nine people nominated four.

The Hungarian film "Son of Saul" tells the story of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

The French film "The Wandering Pandy" talks about the black immigration problem and gangs in France.

China Bay's film "The Assassin Nie Yinniang" is about a woman and an era.

The Chinese film "Parasite" is about the rich and the poor.

After a heated discussion, "Nie Yinniang" and "Son of Saul" were eliminated first, and the votes of the judges who supported them were divided between the remaining two films.

Although "Parasite" has more supporters, the two chairmen prefer "The Wandering Pandy", and the supporters of "Parasite" are led by Sophie Marceau, and she has shown an unyielding stance .

In order to speak meaningfully, she even watched three performances of "Parasite", which was so accurate.

If she hadn't cooperated with Wang Quan before, she would have been embarrassed to insist so obviously.

I am afraid that this discussion will not come to a conclusion in a short time.

While the judges of the main competition unit are discussing the award behind closed doors, the selection of the Un Certain Regard unit has ended. This unit is the favorite of Cannes film selection director Fumao.

He took the initiative to invite Wang Quan to attend the award ceremony of the Un Certain Regard unit tomorrow. Wang Quan readily agreed. The Un Certain Regard unit will be awarded one day earlier than the main competition unit.

Although it is a sub-level unit, several of the works in this year's Un Certain Regard unit are stronger than those at the bottom of the main competition unit.

In the evening, Wang Quan took Shuang Bing, Wen Yongshan, Zhou Ming, Ni Ni, Jiang Shuying and other Chinese actresses to participate in the Chinese Night activities.

Leaders of all Chinese events, important Chinese guests from all film festivals, and Chinese decision-makers from all "film markets" will attend.

The leaders of the Film Bureau and China Film Group arrived, as did Wang Quan and senior executives of major film companies.

Some celebrities have finished their work, but they still stay in Cannes just to increase their connections for this event, which is far grander than in previous years.

One of the most discussed topics at this event was, "Have you heard the gossip?" "Can you win a prize this time?"

Including the leaders of the film bureau, they also looked like gossips. They chatted with Lao Mouzi, then went to Jia Zhangke, and finally came to Wang Quan.

They all asked the same question: "Are you sure this time?"

What can Wang Quan say, "Just do your best and let fate dictate. You will know tomorrow whether you can win the prize or not."

Usually if there is a prize to be won, Cannes staff will notify the crew to stay for the closing ceremony on the last day.

If no one cares, you can pack your bags and go home in advance.

The leader did not ask Hou Hsiao-hsien about it, because even if he won the award, it would not be considered his political achievement.

In addition to Chinese stars, there are also international friends present today. Marco Muller, an old friend of Chinese films and former chairman of the Venice International Film Festival, is also here.

In the past two years, he has been working as a consultant for the Beijing International Film Festival, and he often goes to China when he has nothing to do.

During his eight years in office, Chinese-language films won many awards in Venice. Sissi won the Best Actress in Venice ("Human Fireworks") during his tenure.

Even though he left, as an Italian, Marco Muller still cares about the Venice Film Festival.

"I've also seen "Parasite", and it's beyond my imagination. Wang, you really should come to Venice. The competition in Cannes this year is very fierce, but if you come to Venice, I can guarantee that the Golden Lion Award will definitely be yours!" "

Wang Quan said something modestly, and Muller continued to regret: "The first European film festival that invited you was Venice. I really hope you can go to Venice again if you have the opportunity."

Wang Quan promised: "If there is another suitable work, I will definitely go to Venice, but I have no idea of ​​making a literary film next time, but my new work can be debuted in Venice by then."

Marco Muller is already very happy to get this promise, "I will definitely go to watch it live when the time comes."

When Wang Quan returned home in the evening, he had a video call with Liu Yifei at home. She excitedly asked Wang Quan to look at the way the little fairy was slowly crawling on the ground.

Seeing the two of them wearing beautiful mother-daughter outfits, Wang Quan felt a sense of happiness come over him.

As for Yang Mi, who is she?

After Sissi put the child to sleep, Wang Quan chatted with her for a while about the lottery draw for the Un Certain Regard unit tomorrow, "They invited me probably because a Chinese film won the award."

"That's great!" Liu Yifei said happily, I wish it was us, our film is really good.

The next day, the 23rd, was the penultimate day of the Cannes Film Festival. Although there were still film screenings, there were far fewer tourists on the streets of Cannes. There were only those tickets for the awards ceremony, and most people had no chance to enter.

Wang Quan watched two movies with different people, and attended the Un Certain Regard award ceremony on time at six o'clock in the evening.

One type of attention unit is the separate judges and award system, and there is no prior notification of whether to stay or leave. Everyone who thinks they have hope of winning the award is present.

Awarding awards is very simple, it can be done within an hour, it is not very entertaining, and there is no complicated work, after all, everyone is not familiar with it.

However, it is customary to award awards from unimportant to important at once.

Un Certain Regard Best Screenplay Award, "The Virgin" Director: Shin Soo-won (Kimchi Country).

There are two Un Certain Regard Most Promising Director Awards, namely Neeraj Ghaywan for "Crematorium" (India) and "Don't Tell Her" Wang Ziyi (U.S./China).

Wang Quan is a bit regretful that Sissi’s film only won one minor award.

Next, Un Certain Regard won the Best Director award for Kiyoshi Kurosawa for "Shore Trip" (Neon).

What’s interesting is that they are all Asian. There seems to be no Asians on the judges list for this year’s Un Certain Regard unit.

Wang Quan glanced at his old classmate Bai Xue and estimated that she was out of luck.

At this time Wang Quan was already standing on the stage, holding an envelope in his hand.

After opening it, he smiled, "Congratulations on "Spring", Bai Xue! Congratulations!"

Bai Xue hugged Huang Feng and Ni Hongjie excitedly, and then hugged Wang Quan after taking the stage.

It’s incredible that this award was won. The first ones were all Asian films. I thought it would be a European film in the end, but I didn’t expect that it would be an Asian film, and a Chinese film won two awards at once!

After the results came out, the domestic entertainment media immediately took action.

However, although "Spring" won the biggest award and "Don't Tell Her" won the minor award, the hot searches were basically words like # Liu Yifei's new film won the award at Cannes # .

Bai Xue felt that she was really miserable. It was the first time she used a big name like Hu Chan to make a movie, but she didn't get anything. This time she changed the cast to amateurs, and her luck in awards was pretty good, but it's a pity that she doesn't naturally absorb heat.

Some of the comments online are quite interesting.

Ming Ruo Leng Yiliu: What about celebrating spring? I also went to Spring Mountain, I have never heard of it.

I'm afraid of making a fuss about the novel: Where did this movie come from? It defeated Director Quan and the National Master?

After a disagreement, we had to fight: What, "Parasite" didn't win an award? It's shady, shady!

Although some people explained, "This is not the main competition unit" and "the main competition will only draw the prize tomorrow."

But there are too many netizens who can't stand being really confused or pretending to be confused, and the comment area is full of joy.

Liu Yifei also forwarded relevant reports and once again promoted the domestic schedule of "Don't Tell Her".

The pre-sale has almost started at this time. Regardless of the size of the prize, at least you have won the prize, which will be much easier to operate during publicity.

However, unexpectedly, when Wang Ziyi returned to the hotel that night, her producer Li Xian said to her, "The organizing committee asked us to stay for the closing ceremony tomorrow."

Wang Ziyi covered his mouth in surprise, "Could it be..."

Li Xian was no longer calm, "It's very possible!"

In addition, the crew of "Parasite" by King Quan, the crew of "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" by Lao Mouzi, and the crew of Hou Hsiao-hsien's "The Assassin" were all invited to stay.

Now Jia Zhangke was panicking. He looked around but didn't hear anyone knocking on the door. In fact, it wasn't a knock on the door, it was usually a phone call.

But the phone didn't ring either!

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Zhao Tao was even more excited than Jia Zhangke. He jumped up from the bed and opened the door without even looking at the peephole.

Then she was disappointed, "Xiao Dong~"

It was almost midnight, and it was the 24th French time. Dong Zijian heard that Zhang Yi had been informed by the crew of "Pan Jinlian" to stay, so he came to ask specifically.

Jia Zhangke showed an awkward smile and said, "You can book your flight for tomorrow."

Dong Zijian's dream of being the best actor in Cannes was shattered. He nodded numbly, "I know the director."

In the end, he comforted Jia Zhangke in a very sensible way, "Director, believe in yourself, you are the best, and not everyone can win the golden carriage."

Jia Zhangke still smiled in a general-like manner, but Zhao Tao's defense was a bit broken, and her dream of becoming the best actress in Cannes was shattered.

"We are the only ones who haven't been notified?!" She pursed her lips, "This is too embarrassing. At least we have someone to accompany us."

Jia Zhangke hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, I already have an idea for the next script, and she will still be your leading heroine!"

But your film didn’t seem to be doing well at Cannes. It was shortlisted four times and you only won a screenplay award, but the price was that it was banned in China and you almost lost money.

"How about you help me ask if there is a role suitable for me in director Wang Quan's new film?"

Jia Zhangke: "..."

At this time, Wang Quan's room was empty, and he was practicing for his two neon friends.

"Umi Street Diary" did not receive notice that Nagasawa Masami and Ayase Haruka will leave tomorrow.

So Wang Quan found a Japanese restaurant, treated them to a French-Japanese meal, and then bought a few bottles of sake and went back to the hotel to continue having fun.

An old French movie was playing on the TV, starring Sophia Loren. With unintelligible French dialogue, the three of them drank and laughed.

"Actually, I think you guys performed very well. Really, you should be the winner of Best Actress at Cannes!" Wang Quan said drunkenly to Ayase Haruka.

Nagasawa Masami quit, and asked with blurred peach blossom eyes, "What about me? What about me?"

Wang Quan pushed her chest and said, "You wait until the next session."

Masami Nagasawa swung her wine glass: "No, I'm going to win the Best Actress award this year."

Ayase Haruka kicked her butt with his bare feet, "Then you have to please Mr. Director."

Nagasawa Masami, who had been kicked, suddenly moved closer to Wang Quan, only ten centimeters away from his face.

She smiled slightly and then kissed Wang Quan.

As an adult, and with the excuse of drinking, she was much braver than Zhou Ming, and went straight ahead.

After kissing for a while, Wang Quan looked at Ayase Haruka who looked at them enviously, "Haruka-chan, I heard from my friend that you have also seen the movie "Love"."

Ayase Haruka nodded shyly, "Yes."

"Would you like to try the kissing style on that movie poster?"

Ayase Haruka was startled. Even though she has such a prominent figure, she is actually introverted and conservative. On the contrary, Nagasawa Masami is very playful.

She was so happy that she directly pulled Ayase Haruka over, and the three of them faced each other.

In order to avoid embarrassing her, Nagasawa Masami kissed Wang Quan first and then added her in.

Then they completely lost control and the wine was spilled, but no one cared anymore.

Although Yui Aragaki and Nozomi Sasaki from King Power and Neon often do this, they have been friends for many years, and I only really got along with the two in front of me during the film festival for a few days.

And the strangeness brings a deeper stimulation.

~

Zhou Ming was very surprised. Why didn't Sister Xiaotian go back to the director? Did she want to sleep with him?

Xiaotian: I don’t want to either, but the boss said that if you don’t give notice, you can’t go back.

So she came to find Zhou Xi, and Xiao Ai went to find Jiang Shuying.

It wasn't until early the next morning that Xiaocai received the notice that he could go back.

When we arrived at the room, we found two Sakura actresses lying across the bed in the master bedroom. The air was also very stale. As for the director, he had already left the scene alive.

Xiaotian sighed: Maybe this is the strong one!

Wang Quan originally wanted to send Director Jia Zhangke off, but Director Jia thought he was going ahead. He checked out with his team before dawn and left, without giving Wang Quan a chance to show off.

So Wang Quan got together with Yu Feihong and Mr. Duan from Qiankun to learn about the film sales in Cannes this time.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern 3" is undoubtedly the best-selling one, followed by "I'm Not Pan Jinlian". Other films have also made some gains, but the profit is usually only a few hundred thousand dollars, which is better than nothing.

The situation of other companies is similar. Special effects blockbusters will have a slightly better selling point if they lower their expectations.

As for "Parasite", although various film producers are eyeing it, they have not sold it. They are waiting for the award results before making a decision. Previously, Yu Feihong felt that this film would definitely win the award.

She believed in the royal power and the relationship between the royal power and Sophie.

What surprised Wang Quan was that he won an award in advance before the award ceremony.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, "Parasite" won the FIPRESCI Award voted by the film critics.

This award is not affiliated with any film festival unit, but is awarded by the International Association of Film Critics.

This association forms its own jury every year at film festivals around the world, so the FIPRESCI Awards are awarded in Venice, Berlin, and Cannes, and they usually award the awards before the film festival awards ceremony.

It’s not surprising that “Parasite” won this award. After all, the film received the highest score in the program, and many of the ten media and film critics collected by the program are members of the International Association of Film Critics.

So this is a movie that is loved by both critics and audiences. It may not have the highest artistic achievements, but it has almost no shortcomings.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the closing ceremony began. There was still a red carpet, but there were far fewer people walking on the red carpet. After all, there were only a few awards in total.

But the smiles of those who stayed and walked on the red carpet were even brighter, whether they were directors or actors.

This time Fan Bingbing finally got the chance to walk the red carpet hand in hand with Wang Quan. Many domestic media saw her proud look and prayed in their hearts, never let her win the Best Actress award, never.

If she were to win the Best Actress Award, she wouldn't raise her tail to the sky!

Later, Wen Yongshan couldn't help but wonder whether she would finally get the best actress.

After all, there is no single actor nomination in this thing. As long as the work is shortlisted, all actors have a chance to win the award, regardless of the female first and second female. Wasn't there one time when all the actresses in a movie won the Best Actress.

She thought that if she won the award, she would ask to buy a stake in Bingcheng Entertainment. If Xiao Pangbing didn't agree to her request, she would ask the director. She couldn't let a Cannes best actress work for her.

Zhou Ming didn't think as wildly as she did. She would definitely be able to get away with winning an award for her small role. She just thought that she gave Director Quan her first kiss. If Boss Bingbing bullied her in the future, she hoped that Director Quan would help her out.

After entering the venue, the crew of "Parasite" sat together, next to them was the crew of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian", and behind them was the crew of "Nie Yinniang".

First, the awards for the short film section were awarded, which was completed in just ten minutes.

Then there’s the Camera d’Or, which is equivalent to the Best New Director award.

This award does not belong to the main competition unit, nor does it belong to any unit. Regardless of the main competition unit, the special attention unit or the Directors' Fortnight unit, as long as it is a debut film, it will automatically participate in the competition.

The winner this time is "Don't Tell Her" produced by Long Toutou, directed by Wang Ziyi!

I don’t know if Sissi is watching the awards live broadcast. There is no video, only text. If she sees the name of her work, she will definitely feel that her 30 pounds of fat are worth it.

Wang Ziyi took the stage to speak, specifically thanking her producer Li Xian and heroine Liu Yifei.

Then it was finally time for the main event.

Best Actress.

A little surprising, this time it was a double yolk egg.

If the two heroines of "Carol" had double yolks, everyone would probably accept it.

The winners, however, were Rooney Mara for "Carol" and Emmanuelle Beckett for the French film "My King."

I have to say that Kate's acting skills are really good. At this time, she can still smile and applaud and hug her co-star.

Ordinary people would be so emotional that they wouldn't be so playful.

Then the Best Actor award was presented. Liang Jiahui and Zhang Zhen both looked at the envelopes in the hands of the award presenters longingly.

"Congratulations, Mr. Liang Jiahui, "Parasite"." This guest is a Chinese expert and directly pronounced Liang Jiahui's Chinese name.

Wang Quan wanted to hug Liang Jiahui, but unfortunately Li Ming beat him to it.

However, at the moment when he learned that he had won the Best Actor Award at Cannes, after a brief period of joy, Liang Jiahui's expression dimmed. Does this mean that the Palme d'Or is out?

What a pity. Although it feels good to be the Best Actor and catch up with Tony Leung again, it would be a pity if this film only wins one actor award for its excellence.

The former Asian hipster went on stage to accept the award. He sincerely thanked the jury and Cannes, Director Wang Quan and Golden Harvest Pictures.

"It's an honor to be on stage to receive the award as a member of "Parasite". This is my third time attending Cannes. I want to say that I love Cannes and I will come again!"

At this time, the domestic Internet was also in mourning. They were both happy for the actor Thousand Faces and regretful for the director Wang Quan.

Some netizens comforted, "Don't be discouraged, maybe Director Quan can win Best Director or Best Screenplay, and the Silver Palm is not bad either."

The award for best screenplay then went to the Hungarian production Son of Saul.

King Quan's only chance of winning an individual award is Best Director.

Afterwards, Sophie Marceau came on stage and awarded the best director, "Congratulations to director Zhang Yimou for "I'm Not Pan Jinlian"!"

She said it twice in Chinese and French. As expected of someone who had participated in the Spring Festival Gala, her Chinese words were fluent.

So far, Zhang Yimou has become the third Chinese director to win this honor after Wong Kar-wai and Edward Yang.

Zhang Yimou was pleasantly surprised. Although he did not win the Palme d'Or, he was sincerely happy and smiled with a smile on his face. This award will become his motivation to continue to explore art.

Usually at European film festivals, the first award is the best film, the second award is the jury award, and the third most important award is the best director.

Then there will be a compensation award, called the Jury Award, which is considered as compensation for some works that the judges particularly like, and is not permanent.

This year was set, and just when director Hou Hsiao-hsien was speculating whether he would win the Grand Jury Prize or the Palme d'Or for Best Picture, he was announced as the winner of the Jury Prize.

Director Hou's mood suddenly lost its beauty. This was the first time he participated in Cannes and he won this award. He was still stuck in the same place after so many years of co-writing, so he hadn't spent all these years in vain.

The next Jury Prize was awarded to the French film "Dipin the Wanderer".

Domestic netizens all said, "It's over, it's over, it's already pretty good to win three awards."

"It's a pity that it doesn't seem to be better than the one in 2000. It's a tie."

"It can't be a tie. The difference this time is the jury award. It was the jury award that time, but it was awesome in 2000."

"But this year Director Quan also has a FIPRESCI Award, and Director Jia also has a Golden Horse Award. I think this year is still great."

"Yes, we also have a golden camera. The Chinese films this year are so awesome!"

"It is estimated that there will never be such a strong lineup of Chinese-language films in the future!"

"Yeah, it's definitely a year that will go down in history!"

Amid the heated discussion among netizens and the constant updates of trending search terms on Weibo, the Coen brothers took to the stage to award the Palme d'Or for the best film.

Joel Coen: "This award selection is very difficult because there are so many outstanding films and it is difficult for us to choose."

Ethan Coen: "Yes, there are many excellent works that did not win the award. It's not that you are not good enough, it's just that the review mechanism is not comprehensive enough. We deeply regret this."

Joel Coen: "Without further ado, let us congratulate "Parasite" with the warmest applause..."

(I finally finished writing this paragraph, don’t you have any monthly votes to encourage me~)
