Chapter 276 The award ceremony is here!
The next day, the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival arrived.

Outside the venue, there were red flags flying, crowds of people, colorful flowers, and birds and animals.

But among all the filmmakers in the world, Cheng Cheng is undoubtedly the most handsome one.

Cheng Cheng was seen in high spirits, being treated like a star, chatting and laughing with media from all over the world.

Even Jia Zhensi, a veteran of international film festivals, felt a little envious. He had been involved in national film festivals all his life, but had never been as popular as Cheng Cheng.

Of course, this is inseparable from Cheng Cheng’s controversial personality.

How much trouble did Cheng Cheng cause in just one Cannes Film Festival?

If Jia Zhensi were to come, he wouldn't be able to do it, he would rather no one pay attention to him.

The director of "Glory", Shi Zai, was very envious. Seeing the crew of "To Live" being praised by the media, he was so envious that his cock was sore. He thought: It's worthy of Cheng Cheng. He is a shining star wherever he goes.

There will also be a red carpet at the closing ceremony, so there is no need to worry about clothes. Wen Lian is the spokesperson for an international brand, and the brand will provide the dress. This is an opportunity for her to appear in front of the whole world, and Wen Lian may also go on stage to receive an award, which will increase her exposure. For the brand, this can directly enhance its brand image and market value, and the return rate is extremely high.

So, they had to beg Wen Lian to wear their clothes.

This is the benefit of choosing a good spokesperson.

Chu Qing, Li Yang, Qi Hao and others were also approached by brands.

But Cheng Cheng didn't. He refused. What he was wearing was specially made and had no brand.

Today, there are more domestic media coming than at the opening ceremony, because "To Live" has a great chance of winning an award and the country attaches great importance to it, and they want to get first-hand information.

The reporter from Xinghua News Agency squeezed out of the crowd and asked quickly:
"Director Cheng, when will To Live be released in China?"

Cheng Cheng groaned and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, and I can't be sure."

I heard that the reason why "To Live" was not released in the previous life was not because it passed the line, but because it was privately exhibited. As for why it could not be put on the video platform, Cheng Cheng did not know, but he would try his best to get it.

If "To Live" cannot be released, then it will be put on the video platform. If the video platform cannot release it either, then the resources will be transferred out.

The reporter from Xinghua News Agency also nodded, knowing that it would be difficult to release movies of this type.

He then asked, "What about the novel 'To Live'? When will it be released?"

After the premiere of "To Live", he returned to his room and started reading the novel he had been given as a gift.

Before reading it, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a novel with the same name as the movie!
The plots are pretty much the same!

But after watching it, he felt terrible.

[When the blood type of Youqing was confirmed to be correct, my son's face flushed with joy. He ran to the door and shouted to the people outside, "They want to draw my blood."

They just drew blood. To save the county magistrate's wife's life, the hospital staff drew blood from my son without stopping. As they drew blood, Youqing's face turned pale, but he still insisted on not saying anything. Later, even his lips turned pale, and he trembled and said, "I feel dizzy."

The person drawing the blood said to him, “Drawing blood makes me dizzy.”

Youqing was already dying, but a doctor came out and said there was not enough blood. The man who drew the blood was a jerk, and he almost drained all of my son's blood. Youqing's lips were blue, but he didn't stop. When Youqing's head tilted and fell to the ground, the man panicked and called a doctor. The doctor squatted on the ground and listened with a stethoscope and said, "There's no heartbeat."

The doctor didn’t take it seriously and just scolded the person drawing the blood: “You are really fooling around.”]
[My son's eyes were closed, and his mouth was tightly shut. I called out Youqing several times, but he didn't move. I knew he was really dead, so I hugged my son and his body became hard. He was still alive at noon when he went to school, but he became hard at night. I couldn't figure it out, how could this be two people? I looked at Youqing, touched his thin shoulders, and he was really my son.]
[Who would have thought that Fengxia would get into trouble as soon as I left? I was gone for just a few minutes when several doctors ran into the delivery room, dragging oxygen cylinders. Fengxia had heavy bleeding after giving birth and died before dark. Both of my children died during childbirth. Youqing died when someone else gave birth, but Fengxia died when she gave birth herself.]
[Jiazhen died at noon. But after a while, the hand she was holding became cold. I touched her arm and it was getting colder and colder. Her legs were also cold at that time. Her whole body was cold except for her chest which was still warm. I put my hand on Jiazhen's chest and the heat from her chest seemed to leak out from between my fingers. She loosened her grip on my hand and collapsed on my arm.]
[When they saw Erxi, my son-in-law with a crooked head was already dead, his body stuck to the cement board. Except for his feet and head, his body was completely squashed, not even a single intact bone could be found, and his flesh and blood were stuck to the cement board like paste. They said that when Erxi died, his neck suddenly straightened and his mouth opened wide, and he was calling his son.]
[Kuge died of overeating beans. This child was not greedy, but my family was too poor. Every child in the village lived better than Kuge, and even beans were hard for Kuge to eat. I was old and confused, and cooked so many beans for Kuge. I was old and stupid, and I killed Kuge.]
Youqing died, Fengxia died, Jiazhen died, Erxi died, Kugen (Mantou) also died...

The most fucked-up thing is that Youqing was beaten to death by blood drawing!
What the hell!
Only then did the reporter from Xinghua News Agency find out!
The movie version of "To Live" is actually restrained...

After watching "To Live", the reporter was in shock for two days.

Cheng Cheng replied: "It will be released tomorrow."

Seeing Cheng Cheng's happy look, the reporter couldn't help but ask, "Director Cheng, why are you so happy?"

Cheng Cheng looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what was wrong with him, and said:
"You only live once. Whether you are sad or happy, why not live your life to the fullest?"

The reporter from Xinghua News Agency wanted to give him a slap in the face:
good good!
Keep happiness for yourself and leave sadness to the readers, right?
But when he thought about the release of "To Live" tomorrow, he couldn't help but smile with glee.

Cheng Cheng looked at him and laughed for no apparent reason, feeling a little scared:

Why is there a psychopath here?

He wanted to hug Wen Lian next to him, and even better, bury himself in her chest:

Child is afraid~
On the red carpet, Cheng Cheng also saw Luo Wei. She was alone, walking the red carpet with her chin held high and her eyes straight ahead.

Cheng Cheng looked at her with some doubts:
"What is she so proud of?"

Wen Lian was also puzzled: "I don't know, but it seems that not many people take pictures of her."

Cheng Cheng shook his head and said with emotion:

“There are more and more mental illnesses now.”

Chu Qing resisted the urge to complain.

Cheng Cheng suddenly had an idea and asked Wen Lian:

"What do you think? I'll go up to her and kick her on the butt."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he was already eager to try it.

"Ah?" Wen Lian hurriedly stopped him after hearing this, "Director Cheng, please don't do that!"

She knew that Director Cheng did whatever he wanted, but kicking Luo Wei was still too unreliable!
Chu Qing tilted her head and asked, "Director Cheng, why do you hate her so much? Did she offend you?"

Cheng Cheng asked, “Have you ever watched a TV show or drama and wanted to strangle the director and screenwriter to death?”

Chu Qing shook his head: "No."

Cheng Cheng said seriously: "I have."

Wen Lian was somewhat glad that Cheng Cheng didn't know that Luo Wei had tried to win over Yan Gou'er, otherwise, today he wouldn't just want to strangle her to death, but would have already taken action.

After entering the venue, Cheng Cheng and others found their seats.

The seating arrangement of each crew during the award ceremony has always been the focus of public attention, because the strength and development of each star in the film and television industry can be seen from the seating arrangement, and heavyweight actors will definitely sit in the middle of the front row.

The first row consists of veteran artists from the film industry, and the second row consists of young and middle-aged filmmakers who have recently been active in the European film industry, all of whom are superstars.

Cheng Cheng and others sat in the third row, along with Jia Zhensi's "Homeland Homeland" crew. The "Glory" crew sat in the sixth row, and Luo Wei sat in the seventh row.

Jia Zhensi chatted with Chu Qing, Cheng Cheng and Wen Lian through several people, and the actors in his crew also chatted enthusiastically.

Jia Zhensi: "Director Cheng, congratulations on winning the award this time. I wish you win the grand prize in advance!"

Cheng Cheng knew that Jia Zhensi had also received an invitation letter, and said, "Director Jia is too polite. Everyone has a chance."

Jia Zhensi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Family members know their own business. This time I should just get a small prize on the edge, but no matter how big or small it is, I will cherish it."

I have to say that he has a pretty good mentality, unlike Cheng Cheng. The Golden Treasure Awards haven't even done anything yet, but Cheng Cheng already started to speak out, threatening that if the Golden Treasure Awards don't give him the grand prize, he will make sure that no artist from Tianxia dares to participate in the Golden Treasure Awards.

The Jinbao Award is also unfair.

There were several opening performances before the award ceremony. Cheng Cheng was bored so he just looked around. Fortunately he knew a lot of people and the beauties he met at the cocktail party flirted with him.

Wen Lian was speechless: Our own director is too attractive!
Finally, an hour later, it was time for the official award ceremony.

A blond white woman walked onto the stage. She gently adjusted the microphone and said in French:
“Welcome to the 75th Cannes Film Festival, distinguished guests, colleagues from the film industry, and film lovers from all over the world. We gather here tonight not only to celebrate the brilliant achievements of film art, but also to honor those creators who tell stories through the lens and touch the heart.”

Everyone present focused their attention!
Award Ceremony——

I am finally coming!
-

Summer.

The time difference between Cannes, France and Tianxia is 6 hours. When Cheng Cheng attended the awards ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival, it was already three o'clock in the morning in Tianxia.

In a certain neighborhood in Dijing, everything was silent.

Wang Hong was so excited that she couldn't sleep: "Xiao Gou'er, the award ceremony should have started, right?"

Yan Gou'er is also a bald little baby, nodded: "Well, it should be~"

Wang Hong threw herself on the bed, shaking her legs like Lolita in the movie:

"I don't know if our Director Cheng can win the award this time. It will take several hours for the result to come out. We have to wait for a while."

Yan Gou'er pursed her lips, her fair face full of determination:
"Director Cheng will definitely win the award. After all, Director Cheng received the longest applause of the entire award ceremony."

"Yeah~"

Wang Hong also felt emotional.

“20 minutes!”

She thought about how she had once competed for the role of Jiazhen, and couldn't help fantasizing:

Hey ~
It would have been great if Director Cheng had assigned Jiazhen to me.
-

"Cuckoo~"

Lu Zhuofeng got up at night, poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

Today is the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony. He couldn't sleep and he thought back to his first time attending the Cannes Film Festival.

At that time, he was only ten years older than Cheng Cheng. He entered the main competition unit at his first Cannes Film Festival and won an award.

When the news came, people in China were very excited.

Today, another young man, with his new work, embarked on the same journey as him.

At that moment, at this moment.

In any case, the grudge between the two has become a thing of the past. Lu Zhuofeng silently wishes Cheng Cheng the best in his heart, hoping that he can win the award, just for Tianxia Films.

on Weibo.

"It's three in the morning and I'm still awake, waiting for news!"

"It feels like waiting for the college entrance exam results! Damn, I'm getting nervous."

"Brother Frog can definitely do it!"

"Ahhhh, the Three Pure Ones, God, the Yamata no Orochi, no matter which deity hears my prayers, I am willing to give up masturbation for a month in exchange for Brother Frog winning the prize!"

"Wen Lian, my heroine!"

"Rub your hands together, hoping that good news will come soon."

"It's guaranteed to win an award! I just don't know if it can win the Palme d'Or. It's been 9 years since a Chinese actor won the Palme d'Or, 15 years since a Cannes Best Actor, and 20 years since a Cannes Best Actress. This year, someone finally made it into the main competition."

"It's true! The country has almost forgotten the existence of the Palme d'Or. There's nothing we can do about it. It's not that the Cannes Film Festival is becoming less and less popular, but that they don't give it to us anymore."

"The main reason is that netizens don't buy it anymore. It's not the era where you can just win a consolation prize and market it as a big prize. No one cares about any small prize."

"In the end, I still need Brother Frog to save me."

-

Inside a certain newspaper office, the lights are on at this moment, and the air is filled with tension and excitement.

This year, because of Sung Cheng, the Cannes Film Festival has returned to the public eye. Therefore, the award results have attracted particular attention and everyone is working overtime.

The old editor clapped his hands and said:

"Cheer up, the award ceremony has begun, we have to be the first to appear!! Now, let's warm up and take stock of the awards that Tianxia films have won overseas in recent years."

The young editor said: "Got it!!"

The old editor said:
"In addition, for those who won awards and those who did not, please prepare two more manuscripts so that we don't fight unprepared battles."

At the same time, Li Zhuo, Gong Guangming, Ning Shan, Zhang Zijie, Ni Lu Kezi, as well as countless industry insiders, big and small stars, directors, screenwriters, those who are related to Cheng Cheng and those who are not, are all paying attention to this award ceremony...

Turn your eyes to Cannes, which is far away across the ocean.
