Chapter 574: Fengshenye, he is the chosen one
Generally speaking.
A woman with poor figure and temperament will only show timidity by wearing a cheongsam.
But Zeng Li is obviously not among them.
The beauty in green clothes at this age is at the peak of a woman's charm.
In addition, she pays special attention to skin care and has a fitness habit. Regardless of her figure or temperament, she is the best choice.
This time Irene and her team also came to Cannes to be responsible for makeup.
"How is it?"
When Zeng Li stood in front of Zhou Yutang so handsomely, he was indeed dazzled by it, and he suddenly felt a bit of the astonishment he felt when he first met her.
“Good looking.”
Zhou Yutang did not hesitate at all and said frankly: "The main thing is that Sister Li has a good temperament. I think we can keep this dress."
"Virtue!"
The most original and most used by the sweetheart. Zeng Li was naturally happy with the direct praise and affirmation. Then their eyes met and she glared at him slightly angrily.
How could she not know what Zhou Yutang’s eyes conveyed after so many years of being siblings?
Zhou Yutang's face remained calm and his heart did not beat. His expression was calm and composed: "Sister Li, don't get me wrong. I mean, keep it as a souvenir."
The red carpet at the Cannes closing ceremony was even more grand than the opening ceremony.
Stars are shining and superstars gather.
The number of journalists and guests present was even higher than that of Berlin and Venice.
However, the stars have been decided in advance according to their positions, appearance order and seating arrangements.
Even the reporters on the red carpet have a strict class system, and the only way to distinguish them is the badges hanging on their chests.
Media reporters with yellow badges are at the bottom, followed by blue, pink, and white badges.
Having experienced the opening ceremony, Zeng Li was already more relaxed, and the two were chatting in the waiting area.
Zhou Yutang was surprised.
Brother Chun, who is not very showy, was actually the guest of honor tonight, responsible for presenting the best short film award.
The national masters from the crew of "Return" and Gong Li are all acquaintances. They chatted for a while, and the internationally renowned Lang Lang also took the initiative to come over and say hello: "Director Zhou, I wish you win the award tonight."< br>
"Thank you."
Zhou Yutang hugged him cordially.
He acted as a piano player stand-in for Chen Daoming in "Return", and his soulful "Yu Guang Song" moved countless people.
Bo Nayu, the fat man, took Mrs. Jin with him. At this time, he also said some serious words without smiling.
We are usually competitors, but now the old leader Han Sanping is nearby. After all, Zhou Yutang is also the only hope for the Chinese movie tonight.
On the other hand, Wu Baige, who was leading the crew of "Taiping Wheel", was a little embarrassed.
He stayed where he was, and all his actors ran over to Zhou Yutang.
Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi, Nagasawa Masami, and Song Hye Kyo all sent their blessings one by one.
"Chi Ling" has a good influence and is arranged in the first half.
Li Xuejian was filming on the set and was unable to attend, but Han Sanping flew over specially to attend the closing ceremony.
In just a few dozen seconds, the cheers and noise in my ears seemed like the tide was about to drown me.
"Zhou Yutang, look back!"
Hearing someone shouting, Zhou Yutang turned around and waved with a smile.
Through this red carpet paved with glitz, you can look up and see the film palace that carries honor.
Going up the stairs of the Lumiere Cinema Palace, an old man with gray and sparse hair was waiting there.
Like the big boss in the game level, Gil Jacobs, who was wearing a decent Anias custom-made suit, saw Zhou Yutang, and a smile broke out on his face.
"Welcome, Zhou."
The attendee at the Cannes Film Festival took the initiative to shake hands and give a hug: "Cannes needs talented young directors like you, I wish you good luck."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhu Xi, it's my honor."
Zhou Yutang felt the kindness released by Lao Deng, and then the crew took pictures together.
This is a fixed process. Under the guidance of the staff, you enter and sit in the front row. Lao Mouzi's "Return" is not on display, and the seat is arranged later.
The guests entered the venue one after another. After taking their seats, they all whispered to the people they knew well.
After a while, the award ceremony finally officially started.
Several judges came on stage and took their seats, and Jill Jacobs took the stage to open the show.
Zhou Yutang saw the nostalgia and emotion in Lao Deng's eyes.
Look back on the past, affirm the present, and look forward to the future.
This year is Jacob’s last term as speaker, and his era has come to an end.
After speaking passionately for half an hour, Lao Deng also sent a bouquet of flowers to the jury member, Jane Camping, before stepping down.
The audience stood up and burst into applause for five minutes.
Jane Camping introduces films out of competition and in competition.
Everyone seems to be very focused and moved, but in fact everyone wants to press the fast forward button.
The same goes for Zeng Li. She clapped her hands and exhaled softly: "At the end of the night, will there be a cocktail party?"
"Yes."
"That's not a place to eat. Let's book a restaurant then."
"Sister Li, are you hungry?" Zhou Yutang had a strange expression.
"I've been putting on makeup and styling since morning."
Zeng Li's tone was a little helpless: "I just ate half an apple."
These female stars really worked hard to be in the spotlight. She looks her best on the red carpet and basically doesn't eat.
Zhou Yutang put his hand into his pocket, and then placed it on Zeng Li's palm. It was a piece of candy.
This thoughtful gesture made the beauty in green smile.
In any award ceremony, the highlight is always behind.
The first award was the Camera d'Or, which was given to the French film "Party Girl" as a scrap.
Awards for various non-competition units will be awarded accordingly.
This is the foreplay appetizer for tonight’s feast. Zhou Yutang played with Zeng Li’s delicate hands in boredom.
Suddenly, Zeng Li touched his arm: "Li Yuchun is coming up."
I looked up and saw that it was my turn to present the Best Short Film Award. Brother Chun really didn’t have any stage fright.
Wearing a Chanel haute couture white feather dress, she gracefully stepped onto the stage. She greeted the audience in French and English quite confidently, and then said in Chinese: "As a girl from China, it is very difficult to stand like this." I feel very honored on the grand stage.”
The audience also applauded me generously.
"The winner of the Best Screenplay Award is "Leviathan", Andrei Zyagintsev, congratulations."
As the competition unit awards section entered, the audience was all excited I couldn't help but sit up straight. The big one was finally coming, and the applause was even more enthusiastic than before.
Zeng Li has shaved shoulders and a straight posture.
Zhou Yutang could almost hear the beating of her heart.
This emotion seemed to be transmitted to Zhou Yutang through the tightly interlocked fingers below. The original calm and steady mood was no longer there, and there were actually slight ripples.
The awards are still going on, and it’s finally time for tonight’s Best Actor, the Cannes Best Actor.
“The award guest is your favorite Monica Bellucci.”
Zeng Li glanced and gently touched the man next to her with her arm.
Zhou Yutang is both a director and an actor. With his amazing performance in "Chi Ling", he has the hope of winning this award.
"Sister Li, correct me."
Zhou Yutang adjusted his sitting posture, leaned forward and said seriously: "I like you the most."
Zeng Li added with a half-smile. Give me a roll of eyes. The two usually talked about movies, and Zhou Yutang once mentioned that he admired the charming Marina in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".
Monica did not sell it, and revealed the answer with a smile: "The winner of the Best Actor Award is, "Mr. Turner", Timothy Spall, congratulations."
" It turned out to be him."
To say that I have no expectations for the Best Actor would be a lie, and Zhou Yutang was somewhat disappointed.
Pop! Snap! Snap!
There was applause.
Compared to the earth ball flower that conquers the world with its charm, the new Cannes best actor Timothy Spall is not very good-looking and has been working conscientiously in supporting roles.
The most well-known character is Pettigrew in Harry Potter.
Before going on stage this time, I was so pleasantly surprised that I even did a whole job on the spot.
After taking the stage, Timothy Spall first took out his mobile phone, and then used the mobile phone's radiation to interfere with the microphone at the scene, pretending that he could do magic, and the interfered sound suddenly made a hissing sound.
Zhou Yutang's smile is a bit high.
However, the audience was very considerate and burst into laughter.
He watched this movie in order to observe his opponent, and he quite recognized the actor's acting skills.
In order to grasp Turner's spiritual world, he studied painting for four years, and his performance in the film was impeccable. This actor well deserved his award.
Julianne Moore wins Best Actress at Cannes.
She was unexpectedly elected Best Actress for her role as a neurotic has-been actress in David Cronenberg's new film "Map to the Stars", defeating the favorite Marion Cotillard.
The scene was in an uproar.
This is another actress after Juliette Binoche who won the Best Actress Grand Slam at the three major international film festivals: Cannes, Venice and Berlin.
Xavier Dolan, another director younger than Zhou Yutang, shared the Special Jury Award for his directorial work "Mummy" and the 3D work "Goodbye Language" by New Wave icon Godard.
This also means that they have no chance of winning the final prize.
The Best Director Award was awarded to Bennett Miller for "Foxcatcher", and the audience paid tribute to the director with enthusiastic applause.
Then, judge Jeon Do-yeon announced another important award, "Jury Grand Prize, "Miracle.""
Upset comes another upset.
Alice Lohrwacher, the director of "Miracle", covered her mouth. She probably didn't even expect to win the prize. She was so excited that she burst into tears on the spot.
Fatty Yu Dongyu looked around and saw that Zhou Yutang couldn't sit still, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
This young man, who is outstanding in all his city and government skills, always has a calm face when meeting him on various occasions. He rarely loses his composure like this.
Seeing him deflated, Fatty Yu felt an almost perverted pleasure in his heart.
The Palme d'Or will be next, but Fatty Yu's team estimates that the probability is low.
Zeng Li, who was beside him, paid attention to Zhou Yutang's expression, and tightened her delicate hands, giving gentle comfort.
No matter what, she will always be by Zhou Yutang's side.
"You are still young, you will have a chance in the future"
Han Sanping beside him also comforted him from the perspective of someone who has been through it.
Zhou Yutang forced a smile and watched Quentin and Uma Thurman take the stage. The former then said in an unhurried tone:
"Won the 67th Cannes Palme d'Or The grand prize is "
To whet his appetite, Quentin made a continue gesture to Uma Thurman, and Uma Thurman continued: ""Hibernation", "Red Ling" , these two equally wonderful and unique films are impressive, congratulations.”
The audience was in an uproar.
“Huh?”
Yu Dongyu Fatty’s eyes widened in shock.
His expression gradually changed from dazed to stiff, then to shock, and finally settled on sluggishness.
After the upset, another upset!
Huang Xiaoming was stunned for a moment, then smiled like a leader and clapped vigorously.
He was happy for Zhou Yutang from the bottom of his heart.
Lao Mouzi communicated excitedly with Gong Li with a shocked look on his face.
Masami Nagasawa gently covered her mouth, full of surprises.
No one expected that it turned out to be a double yolk egg! ?
Zhou Yutang originally thought that his mentality was stable.
Even in the face of a sky full of flashlights, you can maintain perfect expression management.
At this moment, it is still out of control.
Time seemed to have pressed the stop button. The sounds around me became almost inaudible from near to far, leaving only buzzing in my ears and a feeling of being about to be deprived of oxygen.
The applause was thunderous.
The entire audience and cameras were focused on the two directors, one old and one young.
Turkish director Nuri Big Ceylan’s face was flushed, but he celebrated with the people around him gracefully.
Previously, he won the Cannes Jury Prize twice with "The Distance" and "Once Upon a Time in Asia Minor".
After missing out on the Best Picture twice, it has always been considered that Cannes owed him the Palme d'Or.
Now before the film festival chairman Jacobs left office, he finally got his wish, allowing him to win the Palme d'Or.
But compared to this master, Zhou Yutang, who is undoubtedly still a little too young, attracts more attention.
It was as if the soul suddenly left the body and wandered, and then was brought back to reality by Zeng Li's slightly trembling voice of surprise.
“Yu Tang!”
“Yeah.”
“You won the prize!”
Behind an extremely long reflection arc.
Zhou Yutang stood up from his seat.
First he hugged Zeng Li next to him, and then Han Sanping, the main creators of the crew.
After the hug, amid thunderous applause, Zhou Yutang made a gesture and invited Han Sanping and Zeng Li to come on stage together.
The Palme d'Or is a film award that honors the entire film.
"Bullshit."
Quentin handed the trophy and certificate to Zhou Yutang's hands. Zhou Yutang's expression twitched slightly when he heard the quintessence of Chinese culture with a sudden and eloquent word.
Who taught him this?
"Thank you."
After Zhou Yutang hugged Quentin and Uma Thurman respectively, his eyes stared at the weighty Palme d'Or trophy in his hand.
It's like Ah Le looking at the faucet stick.
A crystal base weighing a full 1 kilogram is inlaid with a gold olive branch that is 13.5 centimeters high and 9 centimeters wide, composed of 19 24K gold leaves.
In Zhou Yutang’s eyes, unparalleled brilliance was blooming at this time.
After Director Ceylon spoke, Zhou Yutang became the center of attention of the audience.
He took a few deep breaths, calmed down slightly, and said, "There has never been such a wonderful night."
"Thank you to the jury for recognizing me. It means a lot to me. I also want to thank the crew members for their hard work and dedication."
"As a young director from China, I don’t have much time to make movies. "But I never lack the passion and desire to express myself."
"I will keep my original intention and continue to make progress in the future. Thank you, thank you all!"
Han Sanping then prepared a brief statement. As he spoke, his face turned red as if he had drank two kilograms of liquor, and he couldn't hide his smile at all.
He never thought that he would have such a day, standing on such a high stage.
And all this glory.
It was all brought to him by Zhou Yutang.
