Chapter 442 Cannes Film Festival
Chapter 442 Cannes Film Festival
Old man Matthew is indeed a true artist.
He is not vague in criticizing people or praising them. Even a long time ago on the "Celebrity Agency" program, he bluntly said that Lin Qingyue was just a landscape photographer.
Old man Matthew read out the results and sat down.
The award presenter presented the Golden Camera Award to Lin Qingyue.
A roll of award certificate wrapped in red silk and a golden camera embedded in a crystal base.
The name of this award is the Golden Camera Award, but the award is actually for the director’s first feature film, which is the Best Debut Award.
His first short film won the Venice Short Film Golden Bear, and his second feature film debut won the Cannes Golden Camera.
Such a smooth route is what countless new directors have long dreamed of, and it is an honor that even well-known directors find difficult to obtain.
When the Cannes Film Festival just opened, perhaps not many people knew Lin Qingyue, but after today, at the next film festival, it is estimated that not many professional filmmakers will have any impression of her at all.
Lin Qingyue stood on the podium holding the small Golden Camera Trophy, looking at the countless global filmmakers' eyes below the stage and feeling this glorious moment that belongs to filmmakers.
The world-renowned filmmakers in the audience were quietly waiting for her acceptance speech.
But after waiting for several seconds, Lin Qingyue didn't speak, she just looked at the audience.
Just when everyone was beginning to get confused.
Lin Qingyue on the stage took action.
She smiled and waved in a direction of the audience.
Ok?
The audience in the audience didn't understand at first and were still a little dazed.
But soon someone with quick thinking figured out what it meant.
There was an instant burst of heated discussion from the audience.
Wu Mu was slightly stunned when he saw the direction Lin Qingyue was waving. He stood up with a confused and amused look.
Lin Qingyue on the stage continued to smile and wave at him, motioning him to go on stage.
This was a very clear meaning, and it immediately caused a burst of enthusiastic cheering from the audience.
Wu Mu naturally would not let Lin Qingyue embarrass herself, and walked onto the stage without any hesitation.
When Wu Mu walked to the podium, Lin Qingyue picked up the Golden Camera Award in her hand, handed it to Wu Mu, and said with a smile: "The Best Debut Award is for the best actor in our movie."
"Oh~"
The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became tense.
The expectation of golden boys and girls and lovers finally getting married is not only found in China, but also abroad.
It is really too romantic to give this important honor in life directly to your loved one after winning the award!
It also reveals a strong determination, which means that he has chosen the other party!
Otherwise, if you don't plan to make it to the end in such a well-known occasion and such an important award, it will be very embarrassing when people often mention it in the future.
The domestic audiences who were watching the event through YouTube were also shocked at this time.
"Fuck! Director Lin is so smart. He just gave me the Cannes Gold Award. Who can resist that?"
"No wonder Wu Gou's girlfriend is Director Lin. If there was a girl who could do this for me, I would give my life to her!"
"This is only a noon dog, otherwise a person would be trained like a dog!"
"I didn't like the couple Wu Gou and Director Lin before. I felt that they were neither as innocent and naive as Mo Mo, nor as familiar and bickering as brothers as Sun Yueqing, nor as stupid and interesting as Lu Yao. But now I feel soft-hearted all of a sudden."
The barrage is full.
Wu Mu, who was at the scene, also felt a little warm in his heart.
He and Lin Qingyue looked at each other with smiles for two seconds, and then he took the trophy without hesitation.
"Oh~"
The audience cheered and applauded enthusiastically as if they saw a successful proposal.
The award presenter also put the microphone close to Wu Mu's mouth and asked, "So, does our Best Debut Award winner have anything to say?"
Wu Mu also coughed in a proper manner, "Thank you very much to everyone and the film festival jury for recognizing me. Just like Chairman Matthew said just now, before this award, many people may think that I am just a landscape film shooter. Although I don’t care much about this reputation, this award can be regarded as a slight counterattack to this view."
"In fact, I don't quite agree with what Chairman Matthew said just now. What is the core essence of a movie? Does it have to be a meaningful story, or does it have to have a topic of social significance? Everyone may have their own understanding. I think the core of a movie is very simple, which is the filmmakers' love for movies."
"I love making movies. I want to express the world I see and the emotions in my heart. Audience recognition is important, as are the Cannes awards, but these are definitely not the main reasons why I insist on making movies. The reason I became a director is simple, it's my passion."
"I won the Cannes Golden Photography Award this time, but it doesn't mean that I have any essence or so-called significance. This film is not much better than my short films. The weight of my passion is the same. It's just that I'm lucky this time. My passion has resonated with more people. I'm very happy about this. Thank you again to the audience and the jury for your recognition and encouragement."
At first Lin Qingyue just bent over and smiled, but as she listened, the smile on her face faded little by little, and she looked at Wu Mu with pursed lips.
Li Man in the audience also opened her mouth slightly.
Before saying these words, seeing Director Lin giving away the award, I could give my life to her!
Wu Mu met a wonderful girl.
After this passage, this kind of understanding and recognition from the heart, and the confidence to express it for her without fear,
Li Man suddenly felt a little envious, and understood why some people on the Internet called Wu Mu a succubus.
There was silence for half a second in the award hall because of Wu Mu's words, and then warm applause broke out.
Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue bowed and then left the stage.
After the Camera d'Or is the Honorary Palme d'Or, which is used to recognize filmmakers from around the world who have made outstanding contributions to the development of film art. It is also the Cannes Lifetime Achievement Award.
This award is not given every time, but it was given this time. It was given to a British director in recognition of the anti-war spirit of his films.
Next, it’s the highlight.
The remaining awards include Best Actor and Best Actress, and the three most valuable awards: Best Director, the Grand Jury Prize, and the final Palme d'Or.
"Will Wu Mu be able to win the prize this time?"
In the CCTV program team of "China Film Report", everyone was staring at the TV nervously.
The movie channel also broadcast this closed-eye award ceremony again, although it was still a delayed broadcast, but their internal staff certainly had real-time footage to watch.
"It's hard to say. I feel like it's possible to take it, but it's also possible not to take it."
Editor-in-chief Wang Yun said some real nonsense.
"It's still too sudden, not only for us, but also for the Cannes judges. If he had settled down for a few years and been nominated a few more times and his face had become more familiar, the chances of his recognition would have been greater." Director Mu Yang said without turning his head, staring at the TV.
"It still depends on luck. There is no such thing as a sure win at the Cannes Film Festival. The 14-year-old Japanese actor who won the award two years ago was even more unexpected. Who would have thought that?"
No one was willing to look away, fearing that if they did, the Cannes Best Actor winner would be announced.
But no matter what, the fact that Wu Mu has come this far has already shocked everyone.
Even if he doesn't win any awards, his film pay and advertising endorsement standards will have to be raised by 7 or 8 million.
If this really wins the award, it will be even more amazing, at least half of it, at least 18 or 19 million!
After all, winning the Cannes Best Actor award means that he has proved himself as a singer with his albums, and as an actor with international awards, he has proved himself to be a super all-rounder.
By then, Li Cheng would be a little weak in front of Wu Mu, and no one would even mention Xiao Yi, Sun Zhichun and other top stars. They were not of the same level at all. How could a young handsome man be compared with a Cannes Film Emperor?
"China Film Report" was watching nervously.
Wu Mu's other friends were also staring nervously.
For example, Sun Yueqing.
Although he felt jealous about Wu Mu's speech to Lin Qingyue just now, and even more jealous that her brother was about to win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival even though she had never won a Best Actress award in China.
But Sun Yueqing was still very nervous, clenching her hands, waiting for the final result to come out.
Another example is Lu Yao.
She looked at the golden camera in Wu Mu's hand with sparkling eyes, "That trophy is so beautiful, Yuxi, if I'm with Xiao Wu in the future, can you ask him to give it to me?"
Meng Yuxi: “???”
Meng Yuxi looked at Lu Yao in confusion. No, what the hell are you talking about?
Are you with Xiaowu?
Director Lin has already killed you, and you are still dreaming about this?
And what the hell is this when they are together?!
If you guys are really together, that thing would be a super souvenir from your ex-girlfriend!
You still look like you're coveting the trophy, are you a fool?
Lu Yao didn't know what had happened at this moment. She swept away the sadness from the previous period and became full of energy.
She groaned and hugged her chest. "Although Sister Qingyue is very strong, it doesn't matter. I am four years younger than Sister Qingyue. I will defeat her with time!"
You are so proud of yourself even though you are young.
Meng Yuxi glanced at her.
There are also Mo Mo, Wang Xiaotian, Su Meng, a former sponsor, etc., who are all watching the show through various channels at this time.
Waiting for the final result to come out.
And at this time in Cannes.
Finally, it’s time for the part everyone has been waiting for.
The national treasure actress on the stage looked at the stage card in her hand and joked humorously:
"The next award, which I believe many people are looking forward to and have been debating, is our Mr. Chairman. Oh, I forgot that our Mr. Chairman already knows the result."
After hearing her say this, everyone immediately knew what award was going to be given out, and there was laughter from the audience.
"Okay, you should have guessed it. Next we will present the Best Actor Award at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Please welcome Mr. Harrison Ford to the stage to present the award."
The award presenter was the legendary American action star Harrison Ford, who was on the cover of the previous program magazine. Their movies did not make it into the main competition, but came to get publicity, and then were grabbed by the organizers to be the award presenter to make the most of their resources and to help each other get on top of the situation.
Eighty-year-old Harrison Ford came up, wearing a suit. He still looked steady and full of energy, like he was sixty years old.
He held up the Silver Palm Award for Best Actor, gestured to everyone, and then asked who the Mathieu Albert Trophy would be awarded to.
Matthew Albert took out another envelope from his pocket.
The whole audience's attention was instantly focused on his actions.
Next to Wu Mu, Lin Qingyue was holding his hand, and behind him, Shu Mei was swallowing nervously.
On the left rear side, Shi Wu was also stretching his neck with a serious expression.
From this perspective, Wu Mu, the person involved, is the calmest.
"The Best Actor Award goes to." Matthew Albert paused, his face looking even uglier, "William Hans."
"yeah!"
William in the award ceremony hall instantly became ecstatic and jumped up excitedly.
He punched and clapped his hands vigorously, "Yeah!"
After pumping his fists and clapping his hands, he subconsciously wanted to run to the stage, but immediately remembered that he had to maintain his composure. He turned around and headed towards Wu Mu, wanting to give his defeated opponent a hug to comfort him.
But he had just taken a step.
Matthew Albert on the stage continued, "With Wu Mu."
William was stunned and subconsciously turned back to look at Matthew Albert on the stage.
The audience in the audience was also stunned, and then there was an uproar.
Matthew Albert just reported two names?
There are two best actor winners?
Double yolk egg?
Wu Mu was also slightly stunned.
The best of the best, there is naturally only the best one.
No matter what award it is, giving out double yolks will greatly weaken its authority and value, causing everyone to doubt and complain about dividing the pork.
Therefore, top film festivals like Cannes and Venice will try their best to avoid giving the same award to two film festivals.
And now a double yolk egg appears?
There was an uproar in the ceremony hall, but Lin Qingyue quickly came to her senses and pulled Wu Mu up.
Although the value of the double yolk egg has been weakened a little, no matter how much it is weakened, it is still the Cannes Best Actor Award.
The domestic media reacted even faster than Lin Qingyue.
Although it is a double yolk egg, the gold content is a little lower than usual.
But this is the Cannes Film Festival winner!
Only four people from Blue Star China have won it over the years, and there are even fewer people from Earth China, with only three including the Best Actress award.
Now there is one more person, and he is as popular as Wu Mu.
"Wu Mu won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival!"
"Hurry up and send out the manuscript you wrote earlier!"
The editor-in-chief of the entertainment information section of Sina Entertainment pushed open the door and yelled at his subordinates to push the news quickly.
The other editors in the editorial department seemed to have slower internet speeds than the editor-in-chief, and they were all shocked when they heard the news.
“Did you really get it!?”
"Brilliant!!"
Everyone knows that Wu Mu was shortlisted for Cannes, but not many people really hold out hope, even though Wu Mu is very popular in Cannes.
Because this award is really too hard to come by and too rare.
Also because Wu Mu was too young, and his previous image had nothing to do with the Cannes Best Actor award.
As a result, Wu Muzhen became the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival! ?
Everyone was shocked and immediately started to operate.
Although I didn't think much of it before, I wrote many drafts in advance, so everyone still knew who would win and who would be published.
