Chapter 278 Next, it is Cheng Cheng’s era!

The biggest award of the Cannes Film Festival, the Palme d'Or, was won by an English romance film, and the 75th Cannes Film Festival came to a close.

After the award ceremony, there was a dinner.

At this time, it was already 4:30 in the morning in China, and there was still an hour and a half before dawn. When the Chinese Internet received the first-hand news that "To Live" was a big hit at the Cannes Film Festival, it was boiling.

Domestic platforms, Weibo, Zhihu, Bilibili, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, Tieba, Hupu. All of them have fallen! No one is spared!

On Weibo, terms such as #“To Live” sweeps the awards#, #Cheng Cheng wins three awards at the Cannes Film Festival#, #Wen Lian’s acceptance speech#, #Wen Lian the new Cannes Film Queen#, #Chu Qing wins the Cannes Film Actor Award for the second time#, and #2022 Cannes Film Festival winners list# became hot searches.

On Zhihu, [What do you think of the performance of the movie "To Live" directed by Cheng Cheng and starring Wen Lian and Chu Qing at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival? ] also topped the hot list.

Countless people let out sharp exclamations when they saw the news.

“Oh my god! This is a double award for Best Actor and Best Actress, plus there’s also a Jury Prize that’s second only to the Palme d’Or! Brother Frog is going crazy!”

"That's awesome, so awesome!"

"Awesome!"

"Winning two of the four regular awards! This is a very impressive achievement in the Cannes Film Festival!"

"How great is my Great Qing Emperor! He won his first Cannes Best Actor award 15 years ago, and now he has won his second one!"

"My Qingdi is so handsome!!!"

"Wen Lian is so beautiful! It shows us the strength and grace of Chinese actresses!"

"Sweeping all three events, it's really amazing!"

"Really excellent all-round. (I'm going to pre-order the novel)"

“I hope more and more good movies will be produced, and Qingdi can also make more and more good movies!”

"Cheng Cheng and Chu Qing have recognized this pair of mine!!!"

"Wen Lian is the first Cannes Film Queen in 20 years!!!"

"What moved me the most was Wen Lian's acceptance speech: When I was at my lowest, Director Cheng showed up and gave me hope. When I started to want to break through myself, he was endlessly supportive of me. Ah, the two of them really made each other successful. From Betting All or Nothing two years ago to now, Cheng Cheng, Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, Li Yang, and Qi Hao, they have never separated!"

“They all came out of the trough!”

"My family, I want to say that again! No one is optimistic about you, but you are the most promising!"

"Wen Gui Tian Cheng yyds!!!"

"Use your works to get through the lows, and use your acting skills to respond to doubts!"

"It doesn't matter. I'll come again next year or the year after. By then, I'll not only win the Palme d'Or, but also the Best Actor Award! I really like this kind of obvious ambition!!! The moment Frog came out of the trough, I knew that he would definitely reach the peak of his life in the future!"

Jiang family.

Jiang Nan stared at his phone blankly, his rosy little mouth open like a goldfish.

She ran upstairs and knocked on Jiang Wang's door. Jiang Wang was woken up and opened the door immediately in fear:

"What's wrong, Nannan?"

Jiang Nan said excitedly:

"Dad! Cheng Cheng won three awards in Cannes! Best Actor, Best Actress and the Grand Jury Prize, he won them all!"

"Just because of this?" Jiang Wang thought something had happened, but the next second, his voice rose an octave, "What?! You said Cheng Cheng won three awards in Cannes?!"

Jiang Nan thrust the phone into his face: "Dad, it's true! The internet is talking about it like crazy now! If you don't believe me, just watch!"

Jiang Wang was somewhat dazed and said incredulously:
"He really has the guts to go to Cannes and cause such a big commotion?!"

Jiang Nan looked proud:
"I told you! My brother is awesome!"

Jiang Wang suddenly sighed, beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying:

"Hey, I heard that his movie novel with the same name is going to be released today. Why didn't I invest in his publishing house?!"

Jiang Nan pointed at him:
"Ah, you capitalist, you are actually thinking about this at this time!"

Jiang Wang: "Daughter, I'm saving up a fortune for you!"

-

"She actually, really won the Best Actress award!"

Wang Hong looked at her phone, still unable to believe it. At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she was jealous or envious.

Yan Gou'er was sending a message to congratulate Cheng Cheng. When she heard what Wang Hong said, she said, "Sister Wen Lian has always been very good. Besides, Director Cheng personally directed the script. It's not surprising that she won the Best Actress award."

Wang Hong looked at her and asked:
"Xiao Gou'er, don't you have any ideas? She won the Best Actress Award, and she will be the top actress in the company in the future." Yan Gou'er said crisply:

"She was the top actress in the company from the beginning, but Director Cheng wrote a lot of scripts that suited me. I never cared who was the top actress. This time, Sister Wen Lian won the Best Actress award because Director Cheng's script was more suitable for her. Now, I just want to do a good job in The Three-Body Problem and play Ye Wenjie well."

Wang Hong looked at her best friend:

"Xiao Gou'er, I really envy you~"

Yan Gou'er looked at her, his eyes as bright as glass, almost without impurities: "What do you envy me for?"

"I envy you for not having the heart to compete for anything!" Wen Lian said, "And Director Cheng also dotes on you. When he has a good script, he will give it to you as long as it's suitable. Unlike me, I have to compete for it."

Dijing, a residential area.

Lu Zhuofeng didn't even know when he forgot to turn off the faucet.

He was shocked to learn the news:

"From being a commercial film director to an art film director, he actually did it. He even has some of the style I had back then..."

-

A chat group of some bigwigs in the Beijing circle.

Actually, Cheng Cheng was also the director of Teikyo, but he was born to be in conflict with various circles. In addition, because of his personality, no one dared to recruit him, which led to him always being a lone wolf player.

"From now on, when we talk about Tianxia's famous directors, I'm afraid there will be one more name."

"Yes, before, he was still a commercial film director. No matter how much money he made, he was not afraid. But now it's different. After the release of To Live, the value of his film immediately rose several levels. This is his qualifications! After returning from Cannes, he returned as a king and brought back countless honors. I'm afraid no one in the industry will dare to ignore him anymore."

"No one could control him when he went crazy before, and no one can control him now!"

"The scary thing is that if the past was the era of the three great domestic directors, Lü Zhuofeng, Gong Guangming and Tang Ping, then from now on, it will be his era. His era is coming."

Xinghua Society.

At this time, everyone was busy.

“Has the report been published?”

"Sent!"

"Have you heard the news? When will the crew of To Live return to China?"

"I still do not know yet!"

"Go ask!!! Also, communicate with Cheng Cheng, Chu Qing, and Wen Lian. We must get first-hand interviews! We also have to do some work on Li Zhuo's side! She is Cheng Cheng's agent, and she can make the final decision on many things!"

"Roger that!"

-

news channel.

"Emergency notice! The station director has made a last-minute decision to include the news of "To Live" winning an award in today's morning news!"

"Leader, how do you write a press release?"

“Highlight the significance of the film’s award and its positive impact on the Tianxia film industry and international cultural exchanges. In addition, contact the winning team and insert a brief statement from them in the news.”

"Okay, I'll coordinate it right away."

"This matter is of great significance, hurry up!"

-

An entertainment media:
"Follow up immediately and arrange for reporters to wait at the airport. We have to get ahead of everyone else and make sure to get first-hand videos and photos of their arrival!"

"Yes!"

-

The news that "To Live" won the award swept across like a storm.

It caused a magnitude 12 earthquake in major countries such as Japan, Peninsula, Eros, Thailand, Temasek, and Cyprus. Countries like Japan and Peninsula, which have a large fan base of Cheng Cheng, were also proud of Cheng Cheng's winning the award.

In comparison, the news of "Homeland" and "Glory" winning awards seemed to have gone unnoticed.
