Hualiu Director

Chapter 313 The Promise Between Lin Hong and Cannes

After the best screenplay, Hollywood actor Russell Crowe came to the stage to present the award for the best actress, and Kazakhstan national treasure actress Samel Yeslyamova finally won the title with her wonderful performance in the movie "Little One" .

When the new movie queen stepped down, Lin Hong and the others became nervous again, because both Huang Xiaoming and Cheng Daoming were nominated for the best actor award to be presented soon. This was their peak duel again after the Oscars .

In fact, it's not just Cannes. Among the film festivals that have been announced, both Shanghai International Film Festival and Taiwan Golden Horse Film Festival have been nominated for best actor. As for the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers and Tokyo International Film Festival, it is probably the same situation.

Fortunately, the previous Golden Globes and Oscars have already won one each, and Lin Hong will not have any psychological pressure to win the latter.

The award for best actor was French actress Sophie Marceau. Although time has left traces on Sumerian's face, from a director's point of view, she is really a perfect actor in front of the camera. The eyes can switch freely between affectionate and pitiful. If Lin Hong had to compare her with a Chinese actress, it should be Zhang Manyu.

"The best actor nominees are: Masaya Nakata - Shimuni - "Shoplifters".

Thomas Cotter - Poland - "The Cold War".

Huang Xiaoming - China - "The Truman Show".

Marcello Fonte - Italy - "The Kennel".

Cheng Daoming - China - "The Truman Show". "

Highlights of the five male actors were shown on the big screen, and everyone in the audience applauded them. They were good enough to stand out from more than 13000 films and get only five spots.

Of course, everyone hopes to be the lucky one. The five nominees are all present today, and everyone is looking at Sophie Marceau on the stage. At this moment, perhaps what they want is to be able to kiss this French actress on stage, and by the way awards.

"The winner of the best actor at the 71st Cannes International Film Festival is~~~"

Sophie Marceau looked mischievously towards the audience, and then called out the name loudly.

"Huang Xiaoming-China-"The Truman Show"!"

On the big screen, Huang Xiaoming's camera image was enlarged to the whole screen. In the screen, he was surrounded by excited co-creators of the same crew. Lin Hong hugged Huang Xiaoming tightly, and said loudly in his ear.

"Brother Xiaoming, what did I say, I said there are three more, let me say it!"

Huang Xiaoming also excitedly patted Lin Hong's back and nodded continuously. He knew from the first time he saw the script of "The Truman Show" that the role of Truman would definitely be favored by the film festival if he performed well, but he I still didn’t expect to win the second heavyweight actor title with the role of Truman, and one is the first Oscar winner in Asia, and the other is the top-ranked Cannes Film Festival actor. There is no more perfect than this .

"Lin Hong, thank you!"

A simple thank you is certainly not enough to express Huang Xiaoming's gratitude to Lin Hong. It can be said that the role of Truman transformed Huang Xiaoming from an excellent Chinese actor into an international movie star. You must know that there are two Oscars and Cannes Best Actor titles on this planet There are not many, he is definitely one of the top.

In addition to business, the relationship between the two families is also very good. At least the Lin family will not be out of Qingdao seafood all year round, and the vegetables in the yard of Lin Hong's family will often be sent to several close kitchens.

Watching Huang Xiaoming walk onto the stage, Lin Hong patted Cheng Daoming specially, and then whispered into his ear, "Teacher Cheng, Shanghai and Baodao, I think you have at least one more chance, and the Tokyo International Film Festival Nominations have not yet come out, and there are Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers and Huabiao, so there are many opportunities."

The main reason why Lin Hong can say so calmly is that Cheng Daoming has already won the Golden Globe Best Actor Award, which is also a breakthrough for Asian actors.

"Hey, it's okay. I'm already at this age, and there's nothing I can't afford to let go of. But this time, I haven't had enough fun playing Han Liangsheng. Next time you have to find me someone who can handle it Take the role of addiction."

It is impossible for Cheng Daoming to say that he has no regrets. This is the best actor in Cannes, who can say that he doesn't care, but he also knows that although his play is very good, Huang Xiaoming also contributed peak acting skills, and he has more roles in the film, so he also It's more convenient, so I have been mentally prepared for Oscar's loss to him.

Rather than regretting, Cheng Daoming wants new roles in Lin Hong's films more. He believes that if he keeps cooperating with an international director like Lin Hong, he will always have the opportunity to climb from one peak to another.

"No problem, you are such a good actor, as long as the role is suitable, I will give you priority."

Lin Hong's promise made Cheng Daoming forget even the last regret, and other actors around him also gave Lin Hong a sad look, as if to say, "Elder Sun, you can take me too!"

Lin Hong felt a tingling pain in the palm of his hand in a few seconds, but Song Xiaohan looked at the stage unbiasedly, as if he hadn't done anything.

Lin Hong's inner os: All female bodhisattvas, don't look at me with such eyes, the mother-in-law at home is very strict.

On the stage, Huang Xiaoming had already received the trophy and award certificate. He was very excited and said that Cannes was his dream after working as an actor, and now his dream has finally come true.

In addition to talking about dreams, Huang Xiaoming specifically mentioned Lin Hong after the normal thank you process.

"The next thing I want to thank is a very special person to me. We are the relationship between director and actor, but in life we ​​are like brothers. His set is always so happy, everyone is willing to show up On his set, I am willing to listen to his advice. He is a genius born for movies, yes, I am talking about Lin Hong, the director of "The Truman Show."

The audience responded with warm applause, and the camera switched to the scene of Lin Hong at the right time. Lin Hong gave a thumbs up to the stage to indicate that it was Huang Xiaoming's own credit.

After Best Actor, there were only two awards left. Lin Hong, who presented the award for Best Director, was a little restless when he came on stage, and subconsciously looked at the crew of "Shadow" where Zhang Guoshi was.

Gong Huang is in charge of presenting the awards, and Zhang Guoshi is one of the best director nominees. If he wins the award and accepts the award, there will be so much gossip to remember.

Gong Huang is the most favored finale actress in Cannes. In 18, the Cannes Organizing Committee invited her to be the first in Asia, so her award presentation also received warm applause from the audience.

After chatting for a while, Emperor Gong officially began to present the awards.

"Which director can win the honor of best director this year? Let's take a look at the five nominees first."

The first thing that appeared on the big screen was the picture of Lin Hong, which was the highlights of "The Truman Show", the scene of Lin Hong giving a speech to the two main actors, and the scene of chasing the car with the camera.

"Lin Hong-China-"The Truman Show"!"

The domineering Gong Huang proudly called out Lin Hong's name. She had a position from the very beginning, and the two Chinese directors were her supporters.

The scene erupted into warm applause. This is a phenomenal movie. Although Lin Hong is young, his directing ability is obvious to all, and the great success of the movie in terms of art and box office has also brought him more competitiveness.

"It's Hirokazu Kore-eda-Island Country-"Shoplifters"!"

"Zhang Guoshi-China-"Shadow"!"

"Guilmore del Toro - Pretty Country - The Shape of Water!"

"Ciro Guerra-Columbia-"Migratory Birds"!"

Except for the phenomenal Lin Hong, the other four directors did not receive warm applause from the scene. Among the five candidates, there were three Asian directors, one beautiful country director, and one from South America. European directors were all wiped out this year.

Gong Huang opened the envelope, and when she saw the winner's name and works, her hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and the most beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the TV broadcast camera also keenly captured this point.

"The best director of the 71st Cannes International Film Festival is Lin Hong-China-"The Truman Show"!"

Emperor Gong didn't delay for a moment, and she didn't deliberately try to tease Lin Hong. She even couldn't wait to announce the good news.

Lin Hong in the audience was also very excited when he heard the news, jokingly, this is the best director at the Cannes Film Festival, the gold content is not lower than the Golden Globe Award, and even the most gold content award he has won so far.

"Three in a row, "The Truman Show" won all the first three awards in this Cannes Film Festival. Director Lin Hong continued to break the record. He broke the youngest Cannes Film Festival at the age of 25 Best director record.

For the crew of "The Truman Show", tonight has been perfect so far. The only suspense now is whether "The Truman Show" can continue this perfection until the last moment, whether it can win the Palme d'Or, I think this is also the question that fans all over the world are most looking forward to now..."

In the live broadcast room of the Sixth Princess, the host Guo Wei explained emotionally, but when she saw Lin Hong and Song Xiaohan kissing and celebrating, her heart seemed to be pierced by something, why couldn't you appear in my world earlier ?

On TV, Zhang Guoshi took the initiative to stand up and shook hands with Lin Hong to express his congratulations. Lin Hong also expressed his gratitude to the film master and looked forward to the future cooperation between the two.

When he came to the stage, Emperor Gong stood there with a smile on his aunt's face, waiting for Lin Hong's arrival, and Lin Hong was very happy to be awarded such an important award by the legendary actress.

"You are great, and I look forward to your wish to reach the top at the Golden Horse!"

Gong Huang was invited by the chairman of the Golden Horse Awards Organizing Committee Ang Lee to be this year's judge, and the important awards of this year's Golden Horse Awards are basically nominated for mainland films. His favorites are "The Truman Show" and "Shadow" And "Fragrant Years", she felt that with the competition of these three films, this year's Golden Horse Awards will basically be dominated by domestic films.

"Thank you, Sister Li, I will definitely go to Treasure Island to win the prize!"

After receiving the trophy and certificate from Emperor Gong, Lin Hong stood in front of the microphone for the second time today.

"Just now I thanked all the people I want to thank, so I don't know who to thank now, so why don't I say something else.

For the Cannes Film Festival, I have always been looking forward to it. I feel very honored and lucky to be able to win the best director for "The Truman Show" today.

I said I was lucky not only because I was able to break through among the other four excellent works, but also because the film "Joker-Origin of Evil" co-directed by director Spielberg and I has already been released, but it is a pity that it failed to catch up with the registration , otherwise I am confident that I can also get a nomination. "

Damn, Lin Hong is going to make trouble.

The guests in the audience were in an uproar. No one thought that Lin Hong would ruin his own place, or was this also an advertisement?

Kong Xiao looked at the stage in bewilderment, "Damn it, I'm familiar with this. Didn't I run a wave of commercials on the podium in Cannes?"

"Although it is a pity, I believe that my story with Cannes will not end with this.

I am only 25 years old this year, and here I would like to make an appointment with the beautiful Cannes. I hope to break the record of the Coen Brothers before I turn 30!

thank you all! "

No matter how much his words shocked the scene, Lin Hong walked off the stage holding the trophy after saying thank you.

What Lin Hong didn't know was how many people in the world were applauding his arrogance and ambition, and how many people were laughing at his overreaching when he proposed the date to Cannes.

The Coen brothers have won a total of three Best Director Awards, a Palme d'Or and a Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

Lin Hong has already won two awards today, and it is possible to win the Palme d'Or again, so it may not be difficult for Lin Hong to win three Cannes trophies in the next five years.

But since Lin Hong is a director, the expectation of the outside world is of course the best director award. In other words, in the next five years, Lin Hong will win three more best director trophies, and the difficulty is as high as heaven.

Lin Hongcai doesn't care what the outside world thinks, he feels that he has to put some pressure on himself, tell some stories with Cannes, so that the outside world can firmly connect himself with this film festival, so that every time Lin Hong runs for the Cannes Film Festival in the future In order to attract more attention, this will actually be helpful for his future trip to Cannes.

It's just that no one thought that Lin Hong was a scheming boy, and they all thought that it was because young people were hotheaded, and this wave of Lin Hong was in the atmosphere.

Anyway, Lin Hong's rhetoric made many people applaud involuntarily, and some guests thought that Lin Hong's consecutive awards were a bit inflated, so they couldn't understand Lin Hong's arrogance and refused to applaud.

In this weird atmosphere, the final grand prize of this year's Cannes Film Festival will finally be awarded.

The presenter of this year's Palme d'Or is the local French director Philippe Garrel. The five nominated films are "The Truman Show", "Shadow", the Korean film "Burning", the island film "Shoulders" and Romanian film "Don't Touch Me".

"Looking at this list, I feel a little regretful that there is only one European film, and the other four are all from Asia.

Of course, I am not saying that there is a problem with our judging rules and aesthetics, but that in an era when Asian films are advancing by leaps and bounds, our European films are gradually becoming mediocre. This is not a good phenomenon. "

Philippe Garrel's speech caused an uproar among the guests present again. No one expected that two people who dared to speak came at the last moment of tonight's awards ceremony.

But the people in the organizing committee are now crazy about it. Although the five-year agreement between Lin Hong and Cannes is a bit arrogant, it is not beautiful and romantic, and this is a long-term topic. For a director of Lin Hong's level, Definitely a win-win result.

And now the super-popular French director Philippe Garrel has also spoken out amazingly, presumably there will be a topic in Cannes in the next few years.

"Okay, let's see who can get the Palme d'Or tonight. Is it the only European film representative, or the powerful Asian army?"

Philippe Garrel opened the envelope casually. In fact, he could already guess the result. The most likely ones were "The Truman Show" and "A Family of Thieves". "Don't Touch Me" and "Burning" basically had no chance. And "Shadow" is not up or down, but it seems impossible to upset the two favorites at the same time.

Lin Hong, who had just returned to his seat, came to the most tense moment tonight. He longed for a perfect ending tonight. Everyone looked calmly at the envelope in Philip Garrel's hand, and there was an answer there.

"The best film of the 71st Cannes Film Festival is - "The Truman Show"!"

Philippe Garrel was a Europeanist, so he was not in a good mood, so that he didn't even say congratulations.

However, his unreasonableness did not affect the celebration of the crew of "The Truman Show", and other guests also stood up and applauded at this time. Everyone welcomed the crew who won the Palme d'Or to the stage to accept the award with applause. This is the recognition of the winners , It is also the recognition of the selection results of the organizing committee.

This is also a Cannes tradition.

"Let us congratulate Director Lin Hong and the crew of "The Truman Show". They are the big winners tonight. They have won all four nominations. So Director Lin Hong only needs to win three Cannes trophies within five years. He fulfilled his agreement with Cannes regarding the award..."

Guo Wei hastened to assign the Palme d'Or to Lin Hong. Of course, she hoped that Lin Hong could complete the date with Cannes.

Song Xiaohan and Cheng Xi kept the three trophies, and then Lin Hong led the crew onto the stage amidst non-stop applause.

Even though Philippe Garrel was reluctant, he still smiled and handed the Palme d'Or, the highest honor of the Cannes Film Festival, to Kong Xiao.

In fact, the best film goes to the producer and the director. There is no rule for each film festival, but Lin Hong still gave this opportunity to Kong Xiao, and in the future, the best film won by Hualiu will be awarded by the producer. It is also a recognition of their work.

Kong Xiao won the Palme d'Or for the short film the year before last. He didn't expect that he would get it again after two years, and this time it was the real Palme d'Or. This made him so excited that he even forgot the acceptance speech he had written before. It is thanking this and thanking that.

Standing behind Kong Xiao, Lin Hong and the others smiled and watched his nervous and chaotic speech, and they had no intention of stepping forward to help.

"Lin Hong, let me discuss something with you. I also followed my master, Mr. Huang Li, and built a trophy display cabinet in the office. So in the future, the trophy for best director belongs to you, and the trophy for best film belongs to me? I think Fill the display case ASAP!"

The guests in the audience are already numb. What kind of species are the ones appearing at the last moment tonight? Why are they all so arrogant?

And Lin Hong didn't care what others thought, since Kong Xiao wanted to act aggressively, of course he had to cooperate.

So Lin Hong made an "ok" gesture to Kong Xiao, which was equivalent to an indirect promise to win three more best director trophies within five years.
