Chapter 178 Only need a title(1/2)
"The winner is...Lin Hao, "Deep Flowers"!"
When Michelle Yeoh came on stage, everyone had their guesses at first. When she finally read out her name in Chinese, the applause that had been prepared for her came roaring.
But Lin Hao felt very strange, as if he was suddenly isolated into a vacuum, and everything had gone away. Including Ichigo Shangzo who patted his shoulders excitedly, Director Chen who was also smiling, and
Zeng Li covered his mouth excitedly and stood up.
Inexplicably, his emotions seemed to be far away from him, as if they were floating in the air.
after a long time.
Or maybe it was only a few seconds before he felt everything coming back and began to breathe heavily. Today he finally realized what "holding his breath" meant.
"Congratulations!" someone shouted from behind.
"Thank you, thank you!" He turned his head and bowed to everyone with his hands clasped together, forgetting to respond in English to the Chinese he said directly. Then when he was confused, several members of the crew had already hugged him, and he hurried onto the stage.
In fact, this is only about ten meters.
It was also a flat ground, but in the flash of light, he seemed to feel like he was rising higher and higher - no matter who he was, if he were to win the Best Actor Award at Cannes, he would be sorry for himself if he didn't walk a few times.
And at this beginning, the film is heading towards the Palme d'Or with all its strength. Public relations are all about this aspect, so the length of the article basically does not mention how Lin Hao is doing, but only how the film is doing.
But now I really got it...
He would be very excited if he was cast in "Platform". In fact, he has more to thank Director Chen for "In the Heart of the Flowers". In the former, most of the dramas were sponsored by other people, while in the latter, many of the drama's sponsors were involved.
besides...
Everyone knows what these two awards mean.
"You did it, so proud of you."
Before he could think too much about it, he came on stage. Michelle Yeoh hugged him hard. Lin Hao was full of gratitude:
"Thanks!"
There is no doubt that she worked hard for it.
Taking the trophy from her hand and hugging her again, he turned and walked to the microphone.
Everyone below looked at him, and some were suddenly nervous. This is the third Chinese actor born in Cannes, and the youngest one. He has been among the leaders of China's fifth and sixth generation directors.
I continued to grow and finally reached a high point today.
...
"It feels a little unreal."
When Lin Hao took the stage, he still unconsciously wanted to talk about some of his current thoughts: "I came to Cannes two years ago with "Platform", and it all seems like yesterday. Really, it's a bit unreal."
The camera showed Jia Zhangke, and he looked pleased in the audience.
After taking two deep breaths, Lin Hao began to give a formal speech:
"And to win the award this time, the thing I want to thank the most is my director, Director Chen Kaige. He is very strict with me, but he is also willing to give me a lot of space. He made "A Hundred Flowers" a success and also made me a success.
.”
After winning the Best Actor Award, Lin Hao could shamelessly admit that he was actually able to win the Best Actor Award this time, in no small part because of Chen Kaige's bonus. Otherwise, even if he could win, it would never be so smooth.
But there is nothing shameful in the end. Movies are a combination of many things, and the chemical reaction between actors and directors happens naturally.
"I would also like to thank my girlfriend Zeng Li, the actor of Bai Meng, who is sitting in the audience."
Zeng Li was shocked when he heard the word "girlfriend". Fortunately, this guy soon came back with a serious face: "Thank you Zeng Li for bringing us such a beautiful scenery during the shooting."
"Thanks to my classmate and Vice President actor Liu Ye. Without you, there would be no one to accompany me all the way to college and support me. The important thing is that he asked me to mention him if I win an award; thank you...
"
During the Golden Horse, Liu Ye thanked Lin Hao. The two agreed that the next best actor Lin Hao would return the favor... So he thanked him a lot and covered up enough before stepping down.
"How scary are you?"
When Zeng Li stepped down from the stage, he conveyed a word to him with an unnoticeable eye roll. Lin Hao just smiled. He could see the smile in his girlfriend's eyes.
...
Not mentioning this little episode, the awards will be presented in sequence.
The Best Actress award went to Kati Ottingen for "The Man Without a Past," a film that, despite its violent and terrifying beginning, ends up becoming a unique, touching fable.
Therefore, the Grand Jury Prize was also awarded to Finnish director Azi Kaurismäki's "The Man Without a Past," which was well-deserved with a 3.3-point screening score.
The special jury prizes were awarded to three in a row: Lim Kwon-taek for "The Drunken Painter", Paul Thomas Anderson for "Confused Love", and "Divine Intervention" by Arya Suleiman.
Another 55th anniversary special award.
"Bowling at Columbine" Michael Moore
After a long wait, as expected, "The Pianist" won the Palme d'Or for Best Picture.
At this point, all tonight’s awards have been announced.
There is a vague sense of distinction, especially when "A Hundred Flowers" won the best director and best actor, and "The Pianist" won the best picture, many people talked about it, creating a follow-up heat for Cannes.
Also a very high topic.
Is Cannes colluding with Hollywood?
Will the pork be divided into prizes?
And will these actions in Cannes make your own reputation drop?
I don’t know, but at the age of 25, Lin Hao finally won his first Best Actor Award, which came from Cannes, the most famous among the three major movies.
What does this thing mean...
It may only represent past results, but it can actually represent more expectations in the future. Being at a high point brings him more glory, but it also makes it more difficult for him to climb in the next step.
...
The awards ceremony ended at about eleven o'clock, but the rest was not over yet.
First is the official cocktail party.
This time he really came into the sight of some big producers, well-known directors and film companies. Especially those from film companies. These representatives did not give him any invitations, but directly gave him personal contact information, which actually meant more
Lots of possibilities.
Then came the group interviews, first the official ones, a bunch of clichés, and finally the Chinese media group interviews - this year, the Chinese media were once again excited, but people couldn't calm down:
Finally, we were close to the Palme d'Or again. This time there was a lot of praise, but it failed again!
It seems to be the same...
He is immersed in personal awards and is no longer as upset as he was when he failed to win the Palme d'Or in "Platform" last time.
Seeing that everyone was a little unconvinced, Lin Hao felt that the result was pretty good for him, but he couldn't say anything. He could only say something along the lines of: "It's really a pity, but I think there will be more opportunities for Chinese films.
.”
Nonsense. In the future, domestic films will become more and more deceitful, with fewer and fewer awards. But having said that, the reporter interviewed him and continued with the next step of the interview:
"Are you surprised that you won the award tonight?"
"In other words, surprise."
Confident but still a little humble, Lin Hao is so young, and you know that the Chinese people have higher requirements for young actors than old actors: "I am very happy to receive this award. I think everyone will not be particularly surprised when they see my journey.
"
"So do you have any plans for your next drama?"
"Still talking, yes."
It is better not to let people know about "Memories of Murder", otherwise it will be difficult for both national self-esteem and for someone to label him as "advocating foreigners and favoring foreigners".
"I heard that Tsui Hark intends to restart "The Book of Swordsman". Will you participate in it again?"
"Well, I don't know much about this matter yet." Lin Hao was stunned for a moment, then said: "We haven't been in contact yet. If there is news, I will tell everyone."
"I heard that it was because you were too expensive and the price was raised to 3 million, so the showrunners planned to hire Huang Lei instead. Is this true?"
"Brother, I just won an award. Even if I raise the price in an instant, I can't raise the price so fast, right?" Lin Hao was a little helpless. These media must be asking questions because they don't know or are provoking trouble. As expected, the reporter from Hong Kong and Hong Kong was also resentful.
Take back the microphone.
"Will you have more cooperation with foreign directors? I heard that you have made a new film in Hollywood?"
"All right. I did make a movie, but it was distributed over there. It may be a little difficult to synchronize it domestically in September, but I will try my best."
"Excuse me..."
...
The reporters were chattering and asking endless questions.
In fact, the results have already been sent back to China, and the audience has already known the biggest suspense immediately. Therefore, if you want readers to read your article again, you must start from these questions.
The quality of an article written is also uncertain.
But one thing is for sure.
To be continued...
