Chapter 63 Moment of Glory
The guests present and Li Chen applauded the winners.
Li Chen and Li Xuejian hugged each other and said sincerely: "Congratulations, Teacher Xuejian."
"Thank you"
With two simple words, Li Xuejian turned around Steady on the podium.
Received the golden branch gift box and certificate from Penelope Cruz.
When delivering his acceptance speech, Li Xuejian seemed unusually calm.
“Thank you to the director and the jury for the recognition.”
“I hope more and more Chinese actors will come to Cannes in the future.”
“Thank you”
After that, Li Xuejian slowly walked down the podium.
Wan Qian whispered in Mei Ting's ear: "Sister Ting, do you think there will be any prizes later?"
Mei Ting did not turn around and whispered: "I can't tell. ”
Not only Mei Ting can’t be sure, but also the brothers Dardenne on the side can’t be sure.
Until the last moment, anyone can win the Palme d'Or.
It’s just that Shoplifters won one Best Actor.
The possibility of the Palme d'Or is slim.
Best Actress went to Israeli actress Analas.
Mei Ting and Lu Rui had a premonition after Li Xuejian won the award.
Following the awards ceremony for the best screenplay, Zhang Ziyi and the jury chairman Emil took the stage together.
The moment Zhang Ziyi came on stage, Li Chen had a feeling that it was definitely not him.
As expected, the best script went to Eskar’s Three Funerals.
The Best Director went to the Dardenne brothers. Li Chen felt relaxed and his mind was in a state of confusion.
Now comes the two most anticipated awards.
He and the Dardenne brothers all scored in the three highest-rated films.
Could it be that these two grand prizes will sit side by side to enjoy the fruit? Broken Flower is sure to get one?
The jury award was awarded first. Li Chen unconsciously glanced at Jarmusch and the Dardenne brothers.
The three of them were all staring at the podium.
At this moment, Li Chen no longer pays attention to what the award-winning guests look like.
A pair of eyes stared at the mouth that presented the award.
Just hearing the English read out immediately made Li Chen feel more angry.
Broken Flower, Jarmusch.
The scene burst into applause, and Li Chen also clapped.
While applauding, the Dardenne brothers glanced at Li Chen in unison.
It is exactly the same as what Li Chen did just now.
It’s time for the most exciting Palme d’Or award.
Two Oscar-winning actors and actresses took the stage as award presenters.
The guests at the scene all focused on the Dardenne brothers.
A few people looked at Li Chen.
If Jarmusch won the jury award, he would definitely miss out on the Palme d'Or.
But Li Chen still has a chance.
At this moment, Li Chen felt in his heart.
It's like a player who has used cheats meets a top professional player.
Who loses and wins can only be left to the result.
Li Chen didn’t listen to a word of the nonsense said by Oscar-winning actress Hillary Clinton and best actor Morgan Freeman.
Until we get to the topic.
All members of the thief family held their breath.
The winner of this year's Palme d'Or is
"Shoplifters"
Han Sanping, Wu Yusen, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Zhang Ziyi, Wang Xiaoshuai, Gao Yuanyuan, have successively stood up for Shoplifters applaud.
"Am I hit?"
Li Chen's face was relatively calm.
But probably only the client knows how fast the heartbeat is.
At this moment, it seemed like everything around me had disappeared, and it was completely white.
Han Sanping, still excited, gave Li Chen a big hug, bringing him back to reality.
Han Sanping slapped Li Chen on the back hard: "Good boy, I really belong to you!"
Han Sanping really didn't expect that Li Chen would really win the gold medal and shine in Cannes.
He was over fifty, and he couldn't help but be extremely excited.
When the thief family was able to pass the trial, he also worked hard.
These are all things that must be recorded in the credit book. There will be a change of leadership in one year.
Li Chen's victory in winning the gold medal was a strong push for him.
The members of the thief family were ecstatic. They all hugged each other and greeted each other.
The guests present gave their warmest applause to this most special family.
The director is in his early twenties and the actors range from 65 to 10 years old.
Everyone gave a wonderful performance.
“Don’t be stunned, come on stage and receive the award.” Han Sanping said with a smile.
Li Chen nodded, pulled up his clothes, and stepped onto the podium.
The two award presenters hugged Li Chen one after another.
Hillary, who was white and shiny, spoke in English when she met him face to face.
Congratulations, the mysterious director from the East.
Li Chen hasn’t said thank you yet.
I was kissed on the cheek by Hillary.
Li Chen was a little slow to react to the opponent's sneak attack.
Hillary smiled brightly: "Congratulations again, to the talented young director from the mysterious country in the East."
"He is too young and too charming. Please forgive me for not being able to help myself."
Hillary's kiss brought the atmosphere to a climax.
Sina’s reporter said excitedly, this material is going to explode.
Looking back, I wrote an article with the title of the Oscar-winning actress couldn’t help kissing Director Li.
It was Li Chen’s turn to give his acceptance speech.
Li Chen had thought about what he would say if he won the award, so he didn't panic.
Holding the certificate and the gift box containing the Palme d'Or, he leaned over slightly and said.
“Thank you to every member of Shoplifters, thank you for making the Shoplifters family possible.”
“Without your wonderful performance, there would be no Shoplifters, thank you.”
“I would also like to thank Han Sanping, the producer of Shoplifters, for his strong support and my teacher Tian Zhuangzhuang for his hard work.”
"Thank you!"
An awards ceremony made Li Chen's name resounding in Cannes and the world film industry.
Li Chen became the youngest winner of the Palme d'Or.
AFP and Xinhua Daily immediately reported the news of Li Chen winning the gold medal in Cannes.
Just back at the hotel, the members of the thief family were still immersed in the carnival.
Even Lu Rui and Li Xuejian were infected.
Han Sanping will hold a grand celebration banquet in Cannes tomorrow, which is the pride of Chinese films.
China Film Company, where Han Sanping works, is the only producer.
With Han Sanping's character, he would like to hold the celebration banquet on the Eiffel Tower.
Han Sanping has been answering the phone and just hung up.
Han Sanping smiled and said: "Li Chen, guess who called me just now."
Li Chen smiled and said: "Director Han, I couldn't guess that."
Han Sanping laughed heartily: "It's the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, asking me for your contact information."
As he said this, Li Chen's phone rang.
After hanging up the phone, everyone stared at Li Chen.
Han Sanping said: "How to say?"
Li Chen was a little undecided.
He hesitated: "Time Magazine wants to use my photo as the cover of their next Asian edition."
"You also want to interview me"
Everyone in the room was excited Happy for Li Chen, Yang Sisi smiled and said: "Boss, this is a great thing."
"Why, why do I feel like you are still a little reluctant?"
Li Xuejian and Li Chen have been getting along for nearly half a year, and he probably understands what Li Chen is thinking.
"Li Chen probably doesn't want to be too pushy."
Li Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher Xuejian can see clearly."
Han Sanping said angrily: "This How can you be in the limelight?”
"This is glory, there's nothing to hesitate about. I'll make the decision for you."
"I'll call him now."
Han Sanping took it cleanly for Li Chen idea.
Five minutes later, Han Sanping came back and said: "We agreed that the interview will be held at the celebration banquet tomorrow."
"Don't think this is a trivial matter, kid."
< br>
"Let me just say one thing, it was Liu Xiang who appeared on the cover of Time Magazine last year!"
"You can weigh it yourself."
