Chapter 236 explodes in the country!

With the release of "Red Sorghum" in 87.

Chinese-language films are beginning to shine at the three major film festivals!

First Berlin, then Venice, winning awards time and again!
Before that, Zhang Yimou, Hou Xiaoxian, Xie Fei and Li An won the championship one after another!
Even after that, some people won the championship in Berlin and Venice respectively.

Director Jia’s “Still Life” became famous in Venice, Wang Quan’an’s “Tuya’s Marriage” won the Golden Bear, and Diao Yinan’s “Black Coal, Thin Ice” was screened in Berlin!
However, the Palme d'Or was only awarded in 1993 for the Chinese classic "Farewell My Concubine".

There has been no further success since then, even before Chen An was reborn, he was the only one to do so.

And now, after ten years, Chen An once again won this award for Chinese-language films!
"Shoplifters", which was originally the favorite to win, won the Palme d'Or. Although others were disappointed, the audience still burst into thunderous applause!
Everyone around stood up and applauded, including the surrounding crew, who stood up and applauded and congratulated.

Chen An stood up and everyone in the crew congratulated him.

"Congratulations, Xiao Chen. Now I am the only one without a trophy."

"Congratulations to Chen An on his great victory, winning the second Palme d'Or for a Chinese-language film."

"Director, remember to take me to win the Best Actress award next time!"

Chen An smiled and hugged everyone one by one.

Guan Xiaotong, who picked up the little kid next to her and dressed like a little princess, gave Chen An an encouraging kiss on the face. Chen An smiled and touched her head.

He put her down, then walked through the crowd and walked up to the podium step by step with high spirits!

He took the Palme d'Or trophy from Jiang Wen's arms, and Jiang Wen smiled and patted Chen An on the shoulder to express his congratulations.

Chen An nodded happily, then walked to the microphone and said, "It seems that my expectation of participating in the Cannes Film Festival this time has been perfectly realized. Thank you to the jury for awarding me this award. Thank you also to my school. Without you, there would be no film. Thank you for your consideration of me time and time again and for delaying my graduation project."

First, I thanked some people, including the crew, family, friends and the country.

Not a single thing is missed.

But in the end, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Thank you to the Cannes Film Festival for letting me bring back a trophy this time!"

After saying that, he raised the trophy in his hand, because the previous Golden Chariot Award was awarded by the French Directors Association. Although they both belong to the Cannes Film Festival, they have different meanings, which caused laughter at the scene.

I didn't expect Chen An to make such a joke in the end. He was a little emotional after winning the Best Director award but only had the certificate.

But it’s harmless.

And this year's Cannes Film Festival has come to an end. After Chen An stepped down from the stage and the host gave a closing speech, the award ceremony officially ended!
During the interview session after the award ceremony, several leading actors of "Shoplifters" sat in a row to be interviewed.

On the table in front are the Palme d'Or, the Best Actress trophy and the Golden Carriage Award trophy, which means it is a great harvest!
Especially the most eye-catching Palme d'Or trophy!

Except for the two young actors, everyone else was accepting interviews from the media, after all, they could come together.

Of course, as award winners, Chen An and Gong Li had the most media surrounding them.

Most of the people in front of Zhou Xun and Ge Daye were domestic media.

Most of the media in front of them are foreign media, especially French media.

Chen An was answering questions while being interviewed. He became so thirsty that he couldn't help but pick up the mineral water on the table and take a sip.

Suddenly I heard an interesting question: "Chen, did you know what the head of the French Directors Association just said about awarding you the Golden Carriage Award?"

Chen An: "I don't know. I am quite grateful to the other party for giving me this award. Did they say anything?"

The French journalist said in English: "The person in charge said: Regardless of whether his new film wins the Palme d'Or, we will give him the Golden Carriage Award to show the admiration and expectations of all French directors. What do you think about this?"

"Thanks for his recognition and for giving me this award, which symbolizes 'pure film genius', for the first time. I hope I won't let them down in the future." Chen An said gratefully.

I didn't expect that the directors of the French Directors Association thought so highly of me. Then I answered some questions.

"Are you happy? Of course I am. I've always won Best Director in the three major awards before, and this time I finally won Best Picture. Well, Best Short Film doesn't count."

"Copyright sales? We won't discuss this for now. We'll discuss it later. We haven't had any contact yet."

“Now this is an interview with Shoplifters. I won’t discuss the specific news about Batman Begins, but I hope you can go and watch it and support it, haha.”

"Ge You said he's the only one who doesn't have a trophy? Well, I can't do anything about that. I hope he works hard. I didn't have one before, but I have one now."

“The domestic release will be expedited, but it may have to be re-edited and deleted before it can be released, so remember to support it.”

"Yes, the script was indeed written for six years, causing Gong Li to wait for six years, and the filming was only completed last year."

"Zhou Xun? She is also an excellent actress and extremely talented, which is why we have collaborated twice. We can't rule out the possibility of collaborating with her in the future or asking her to star in the show."

"."

This group of reporters had so many questions to ask that they almost felt sleepy after interviewing for more than an hour because of the two children.

Guan Xiaotong was almost asleep on the table.

The interview finally ended and Guan Xiaotong rubbed her eyes, but she still couldn't stop wanting to sleep.

After handing the two children over to their respective parents, everyone then attended a party organized by the film festival.

It's a kind of celebration party. No matter whether you win a prize or not, it just depends on whether you want to come.

Chen An met Cannes director Gilles Jacob again and could feel his happiness as soon as he entered the door.

He was also very happy to see Chen An coming, "Chen, I think this Cannes did not disappoint you."

"Indeed, Cannes is indeed my lucky place, ever since the first time I came here."

"Cannes is lucky to have you here. The record for moviegoers set last year was broken this year."

Whether sincerely or not, Jacob attributed the credit to Chen An.

It was really a great honor. Even Chen An didn't expect himself to be so awesome.

However, the other party did not say anything more, but invited Chen An to have a drink.

Chen An picked up a cup from the tray held by a passing servant and started drinking with him.

The next day, Chen An's assistant's phone was flooded with calls.

Countless film producers who wanted to purchase the distribution rights called and made their offers.

As the most anticipated work at this year's Cannes Film Festival, the film that successfully won the Palme d'Or and the Best Actress Award is undoubtedly the most popular.

The reason why the top three in Europe are the top three in Europe, in addition to the greatest exposure, the award-winning works are also the best-selling!

Among them, Cannes is the best!
Chen An, who offered 10 million US dollars for the global distribution rights, should be blocked immediately. Get out of my way!

The news of winning the Palme d'Or was transmitted back to the country overnight.

Appearing as the front page headline in all major newspapers, as well as on the front page headlines online!

Not only did Gong Li win the title of Queen at Cannes, but it was also the first time in ten years that a Chinese-language film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes!

And the French Directors Association’s statement on awarding Chen An the Golden Carriage Award!
